(Alas, some people complain about breaking off, sometimes they are really tired, and they only hate themselves for being too slow to code words - no face to ask for red tickets)

In the past few months, the Donghu people have been heavily monitoring the periphery, cutting off the outer wings one by one, and advancing layer by layer until early June, except for Yanjing City, which has not fallen, the only two small cities controlled by the imperial court in the Gyeonggi region, Taihu and Sanhe.

After Li Zhuo gave the wine and medicine to his death, although Li Zhuo was quite cooperative and left several suicide notes, one of which exhorted Chen Zhihu to be loyal to the Yuan family. Emperor Chongguan didn't dare to use Chen Zhihu to escort him to break through, and he didn't even want to hand over the suicide note to Chen Zhihu, and there were extraneous branches. On the eve of the breakthrough, Chen Zhihu was transferred north to strengthen the defense of Sanhe.

On the night of 15 June, when the rain was about to stop, Wang Jiyuan, the left attendant of the military department, led more than 20,000 soldiers from the Beijing camp out of the city from Taihemen and entered the Taihu camp 40 miles southeast of Yanjing City. However, at this time, he still refused to reveal it to the generals, and Zhou Zongxian, the secretary of the military department who presided over the Taihu battalion, also knew the overall plan when he saw the secret decree brought by Wang Jiyuan.

Wang Jiyuan led the advance force, informing Zhou Zongxian and others of the deployment that the imperial court had decided: Zhang Xie was appointed as the envoy to Yanjing, and the main forces of the Xuanfu Army and the Jingying Army formed troops and horses to the south, escorting Emperor Chongguan to break through to the south.

Including Chen Xinbo, Hao Zongcheng, King Lu, King Jin and other princes and ministers, as well as harem concubines, the mule and horse convoy that needs to be escorted by the army will leave the city and arrive at the Taihu camp in the early morning of 16 July.

After resting for half a day at the Taihu camp, the troops will divide into two routes on the afternoon of 16 July, one to break through the encirclement in the direction of Jinhai, all the way south through Yannan, and one to the direction of Shandong.

After receiving the secret order, Zhou Zongxian was trembling with anger.

Obviously, Emperor Chongguan was worried that the early disclosure of the breakout plan would shake the morale of the army, and he was worried that there would be generals and officials who were unwilling to retreat south and secretly contact the Donghu people and leak the breakout plan, so the entire breakout plan was formulated without the help of the vast majority of courtiers.

Even if Zhou Zongxian was a military secretary, only because he left Yanjing City forty miles to preside over military affairs in the Taihu camp, he didn't know the breakthrough plan until the last moment, and he was so suspicious that he was so angry that he wanted to hand over the silver seal of the "Supervisor and Marshal Minister" and Shang Fang's sword on the spot.

Li Zhuo is dead, and there is no one in the court who can calmly formulate a breakthrough plan, and he still hides his military secretary to the end, so how can Zhou Zongxian not be angry and cold?

Whether it is angry or cold, the matter has come to this point, Zhou Zongxian can only swallow his grievances and accept the order, and use the "free" time left by the emperor to arrange the entire breakthrough operation with Wang Jiyuan and Wang Qishan, who only went to the Taihu camp as a military envoy from the eighth day of June.

The soldiers and horses of the breakout were divided into two roads, one positive and one strange, and the secret decree did not even clearly tell Zhou Zongxian which way the emperor would follow the soldiers and horses to break through.

It is a matter of course to break through in the direction of Jinhai, from Taihu Daying to Jinhai, only more than 200 miles, there is a relatively complete gallop road, and the terrain is also along the trend of the river, which will not be hindered by large rivers and can pass quickly.

Heading south to Taihu Daying, crossing Yannan to the plain or Yangxin, the straight-line distance is more than 500 li, and it will be hindered by a number of larger rivers flowing from east to west along the way.

Generally speaking, it is relatively easy to travel 200 miles in two days on easy terrain, and there is plenty of physical strength when you first hit the road, and most of the well-trained town troops can do this. If an army can travel 500 miles in five days and cross several rivers one after another, it must be regarded as a first-class elite division.

Between Jinhai and Taihu camp, the Donghu people camped in Xianghe, and more than 20,000 foot cavalry were stationed to monitor this side. Moreover, the Jizhou battalion of the Donghu people rushed to pursue it quickly. If the soldiers and horses that broke through to the east walked a little slower on the road, it was likely that the main force of the pursuing Donghu cavalry would bite the tail and beat them to a big crush.

At this time, the Donghu people still have tens of thousands of troops attacking Jinhai, and the soldiers and horses who broke through to the east rushed to Jinhai, and they had to fight a battle with the Donghu people who attacked on the periphery of Jinhai City, opening the gap, and finally avoiding the city.

Heading east to Jinhai looks like a lot of resistance, but it has the greatest opportunity.

The combat strength of the Jingying army is not good, but the elite of the more than 20,000 Xuanfu troops still have the strength to fight in the field, and the journey to Jinhai in the east is the shortest, so they can abandon their baggage and advance at the fastest speed and fight lightly.

Thinking that at the beginning, the main force of 30,000 or 40,000 cavalry of the Donghu people completely ate more than 20,000 Jinzhong troops in the field, and it took more than three days.

Suddenly broke through to the east, facing the Xianghe camp of the Donghu people in the east, they had the advantage of troops, and when the main cavalry force of the Donghu people in Jizhou caught up, it was a day later, to say the least. Along the way, we can send interception troops with broken arms to save lives, which can ensure that the main force of the breakthrough will not be pursued by the Donghu people and arrive at the outer siege of Tianjin.

There are elite Tianjin navies in Jinhai City, and they are attacked inside and outside, and they dare not expect to defeat the Donghu people besieging the city by surprise, open a gap, and avoid the main force into Jinhai City, which is not a big problem.

To the south, the Donghu people almost controlled more than 20 counties in Yannan, but the blockade force of the Donghu people in Yannan was less than 40,000 cavalry, which was very limited. And Donghu's 40,000 infantry cavalry in Yannan still had to allocate a considerable number of troops to guard against Liang Chengchong's troops and Taochun's troops in the south, so there were not many troops from Yannan to intercept the soldiers and horses that broke through to the south.

However, the time to break through to the south is too long, five hundred miles, considering the small-scale harassment of the Donghu cavalry, the breakthrough soldiers and horses have completed the journey to avoid Pingyuan City or Yangxin City, not to mention it will take ten days. Ten days was enough for the main cavalry of the Donghu people to chase out of Jizhou and run back and forth in a radius of thousands of miles in Yannan.

What's more, the secret decree only gave Zhou Zongxian one day to prepare, and it was obvious that the emperor would break through to the east with the army. But even if you throw away all your baggage and travel lightly, the preparation time of the day is too short and too hasty.

Zhou Zongxian didn't know Li Zhuo's last words before his death, but according to normal speculation, according to the instructions of the secret decree, he secretly arranged the breakout matter, and the military attache above the rank of Zhaowu lieutenant of the Xuanfu Army was summoned to announce the secret decree, and as Zhou Zongxian expected, there was an uproar.

The families of the generals of the Xuanfu army are mostly in Xuanzhen. Everyone knows that once the south retreats, it means that the imperial court will no longer be able to clean up the situation in the north in a short period of time, and the fall of Xuanzhen and Yanjing will be ironclad and irrewritten.

However, when Wang Jiyuan led 20,000 Beijing battalion troops to the Taihu camp, although the generals were in an uproar about the breakthrough, they failed to make trouble after all, and they each made arrangements for it, but this situation made Zhou Zongxian even more worried.

Chen Xinbo finally chose to break through with Emperor Chongguan, but left his family in Yanjing City.

Zhang Xie is the envoy to Yanjing, and it is impossible for the emperor to let him stay in Yanjing, if he wants to struggle, let the emperor be suspicious, Zhang Xie will be murderous, and if he does not wait for the Donghu people to break the city, it will cause the disaster of extermination.

The relationship between Li Zhuo and Huaidong is not very clear to others, and Li Zhuo has been handsome and friends for more than ten years, but Chen Xinbo is much clearer than others.

Even if Chen Dingbang and Lu Xiong died in the chaos, if Wang Qishan and others fled to Jiangning, the cause of Li Zhuo's death would be revealed.

Li Zhuo was given wine by the emperor to kill, but it was a wine glass handed by Chen Xinbo himself, and Huaidong wanted to win over Li Zhuo's old department, and it would never be possible to make him comfortable. He is seventy or eighty years old, and there is no hope in life, rather than going to Jiangning to be bullied, it is better to die on the way to the name of the martyr.

Chen Xinbo sat in the carriage in a desolate mood, listening to a horse galloping from behind, he lifted the curtain, saw that it was the guards of Wanshou Palace riding over, and said: "The Queen Mother asked Chen Xiangye to come over and talk......

"You go back to the Queen Mother, and the old minister will go over." Chen Xinbo said.

Although Chen Xinbo had no power, his qualifications were old, and he staggered into the car in which the Queen Mother was riding. Princess Yuanyan of Yangxin was waiting by the side of the Queen Mother, but now she is fleeing, with light clothes and simple cars, and she is not very particular.

"Are you sure that the emperor will go to Jinhai?" Liang asked.

"It should be like this, the soldiers and horses going south are just used to attract the attention of the Donghu people and other soldiers and horses in the river." Chen Xinbo said.

"Lin Tie this son, his ambition is not small, but the emperor is willing to give Huaidong the great merit of escorting?" Liang asked.

"With the current situation, the emperor can only give Huaidong the great merit of escorting." Chen Xinbo said.

Although the Jingying Army and the 60,000 soldiers and horses of the Xuanfu Army will be mobilized to break through in two ways, even if Emperor Chongguan can finally escape to Jiangning smoothly, there will be few soldiers and horses left who can be directly loyal to him. In the end, everyone in Jiangning gave up their efforts to rescue Yanjing, who was not worried that Emperor Chongguan would settle this account after he regained imperial power?

It is more likely that the people of Jiangning united with King Ning to force him to abdicate, and let King Ning ascend the throne at the end and he will be the emperor is a peaceful ending.

For Emperor Chongguan, it was only possible to continue to sit on his dragon chair if he arrived in Jiangning with the support of a powerful force like the Liang clan or Huaidong.

The Liang family is too far away from Jiangning, and it is blocked by the periphery of Jiangning, and Huaidong is the best choice. Not to mention that Gu Wuchen in Jiangning also controls the Jiangning Water Camp and the Dongyang Army controlled by Lin Tingli is on the flank of Jiangning.

As long as Huaidong supported Emperor Chongguan, the other forces in Jiangning, including King Ning, had no other choice.

Of course, Huaidong will get more benefits because of the escort, and may negotiate terms with each other in Jinhai. Gu Wuchen surpassed others to become the prime minister, and the Dongyang system monopolized power, which was almost inevitable.

"Then what did Li Zhuo's last words mean? Li Zhuo doesn't want to see Huaidong sitting big? Liang asked.

"The emperor's intention to break through to Jinhai is obvious, can Hu Wangyan make any arrangements? In fact, this trip to Jinhai is extremely dangerous! Chen Xinbo said, "Li Zhuo saw through this, so he suggested going south to Shandong directly." ”

"Then according to Aiqing's opinion, will the mourning family go to Jinhai or Shandong?" Liang asked.

"The old minister accompanied the Queen Mother to Shandong." Chen Xinbo said that he knew that if Li Zhuo calmly arranged this matter and went south to break through directly to Shandong, he would have a glimmer of life, but at this point, whether it was to the east or south, it would be a Jedi who would die and die.

Liang's question, Chen Xinbo always had to answer, Liang's heart was nothing more than wanting to go south, Chen Xinbo just followed her heart, and it was nothing more than death at the end.

Hearing Chen Xinbo say this, Yuan Yan didn't think too complicated, she only knew that she would not pass through Jinhai and Huaidong, and she was extremely melancholy, thinking in her heart: I can't meet Uncle Huzi again.

Emperor Chongguan summoned the generals and ministers in the humble palace of the Taihu camp, officially announced the intention of moving the capital to the south, and immediately reorganized the army, and broke through in two ways in the afternoon.

Once Emperor Chongguan moved to Taihu, he must immediately break through, otherwise the cavalry of the Donghu people will be surrounded by letters, and they will fall into the ground that they can't go or defend.

The seemingly rigorous breakthrough plan formulated by Emperor Chongguan himself is actually full of loopholes.

About two hours after the two soldiers and horses left the Taihu camp, the main cavalry of the Donghu people in Jizhou arrived in the west of Xianghe City, like a sharp knife, pulled out of its sheath, revealing a devouring light.

Ye Ji Luorong was dressed in black armor, riding a jujube red horse, staring sharply at the field in front of him shrouded in faint darkness, waiting for the scouts on the periphery to further understand the movement of the two lines of soldiers and horses of the Southern Dynasty from Taihu to the two wings.

"As expected by the King of Khan, the Southern Dynasty army broke through in two ways - the Son of Heaven of the Southern Dynasty should go to Jinhai, and this belongs to you, the Great Prince. The last general went to chase the way to the south. There is a cavalry battalion in Huaidong on the periphery, and the cavalry in the river cannot be transferred out if they want to seal the gap! Na He Xiongqi said.

"No, you don't move, you keep an eye on Chen Zhihu for me, and you must leave him in the north," Ye Ji Luorong said, "I will first penetrate the south, and defeat the people who fled south." The soldiers and horses along the way will not be strong, and they will be easy to defeat. Looking back, I also have the strength to join forces with the Khan King and flee all the way to the east - this time it will be rounded! ”
