Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

Suffering a great defeat, after Hou Jin and Liao Zhen gathered the defeated troops, Yan Shun and Lu Xiangsheng had already led the army away, and it was beyond their reach to pursue them again...

……

Chapter 232 Regret and Reality

"Not blocked? What are you eating, trash! A bunch of trash!"

After learning that the Tashan army blocked the pursuit and was about to join the Zhenbeihou army in front of him, Dai Shan was also furious with rare thunder!

The army of the Zhenbeihou in front of him had put him under great pressure. Now, the Tashan army not only failed to destroy him, but also allowed him to join the main force of the Zhenbeihou. In this way, the strength of the Zhenbeihou army is undoubtedly stronger.

And he not only has to face the overwhelming pressure, but also has to draw out his troops to deal with Mao Wenlong and North Korea who stabbed him in the back.

Although Liaozhen can give some support, but now that Shanhaiguan is at fault, Liaozhen dares to send troops, but he dare not ask for too much!

He worked so hard to tie Liaozhen into the car, just to break the cage that Zhenbei Hou set up for Hou Jin, and let Liaozhen share the oppression from Ming Dynasty.

If the Jing army from Shanhaiguan took advantage of it, and without Liaozhen to bear the pressure for him, then he, Houjin, would really be completely trapped to death in this bitter cold place in Liaodong!

"drag!"

Soon, Daishan made a decision immediately.

The logistics line that stretches for thousands of miles will definitely not last long. As long as it drags on, Zhenbeihou will either withdraw or lose!

When the time comes, the strategic initiative will be in his hands!

"withdraw!"

When Yan Shun and Lu Xiangsheng broke through heavy obstacles and led their troops back, Li Xiu also gave the military order to retreat without any hesitation.

Dai Shan would never have imagined that the Marquis of Zhenbei who swept across Mobei and Monan had never thought of doing his best in a single battle from the beginning to the end. News, which is enough to completely change the strategic situation of Liaodong, was isolated in Shanhaiguan under the double blockade of Jinyiwei and Shanhaiguan Jingjun.

The post-gold detective, even if he has the ability to reach the sky, can only take a detour. The time difference of this detour is enough to determine the direction of this war, and it is also enough to make Daishan regret it for life!

Zhenbeihou retreated!

This news spread to all the officers and soldiers of Hou Jin in the first time.

But the strange thing is that the arrogant soldier who refused to accept anyone in the past is not clamoring to pursue him at this moment, but relieved, as if a heavy burden has been lifted.

Anyone who knows a little bit about military affairs can clearly see that fighting on a logistics line of thousands of miles, the Marquis of Zhenbei will definitely not last long.

But... if you know it, you know it. In a day, it is like a mountain suppressing a day.

beat?

Up to now, which post-gold general Baylor dared to say such a thing.

Zhenbeihou is invincible!

Just like when the Jurchen was dissatisfied and invincible, it has become a myth.

"Hold him! Beat him!"

Although this thought was extremely strong, Dai Shan forcibly suppressed it after weighing it over and over again.

Retreat and pursuit are command methods that will test the commander incomparably.

When the two armies retreat when they are at war, if one link goes wrong, the entire army may retreat and turn into a complete defeat.

The same is true for the pursuit. A pursuit will definitely mean that the battle line will be stretched. If you are not careful, you will be easily broken one by one, which will trigger a chain reaction, from pursuit to defeat.

It is a well-known fact that Zhenbeihou's army is not short of food and grass in a short period of time, and the herds of cattle and sheep are enough to last for a long period of time.

Besides, no one would think that the invincible Marquis of Zhenbei would not even be able to organize a mere retreat, and would not even be able to arrange the means to deal with his pursuit.

There is no shortage of food and grass in the short term. If he goes to pursue it, he might just bring himself to be humiliated!

"Houjin, I can't lose again!"

Daishan comforted himself, he didn't even realize it, everything was just an excuse, in his heart, he no longer had the determination and courage to fight to the death with the Zhenbeihou.

Hou Jin's repeated battles and defeats have already made him a little more fearful and timid deep in his heart...

In fact, in less than two days, when the distressed spies passed the news that Da Tianzi was seriously ill and his life and death were unknown to the front of the Daishan case.

Daishan suddenly understood.

An uncontrollable regret also filled Daishan's heart.

What a godsend fighter!It was right in front of him, but he just missed it!

How could he not be clear about Daming's political ecology? No matter how good the Marquis of Zhenbei was in fighting, without the full support of the Son of Heaven, it would be impossible for him to reach his current height.

Now, Da Tianzi is seriously ill, he just needs to hold him back, as long as Zhenbeihou is not allowed to lead his troops back to the capital.

When Da Tian Zi, who fully supported him, died, the fate of the invincible Zhenbei Hou on the battlefield would definitely not be better than that of Yue Wumu!

Those civil servants of Ming Dynasty will never be soft when it is time to deal with evil hands!

But now, the battle opportunity has passed, no matter how regretful it is, it can't change the slightest.

For today's plan, Daishan can only hope, expect that the drastic changes in the Ming capital, the turmoil, will come even more turbulent, whether it makes the Zhenbeihou exhausted, or directly submerges the Zhenbeihou...

No matter which ending, it will give him enough time to regroup...

……

As the old saying goes, auspicious snow heralds a good year.

The capital city at the beginning of the third year of Chongzhen has already been covered with a layer of silver.

However, looking inside and outside the capital, there is no expectation for Ruixue.

The news of the emperor's serious illness has already spread throughout the world.

The entire capital has long been cast a shadow over this.

Especially recently, all kinds of news are flying all over the sky. Some emperor vomits blood day and night, and his life is hanging by a thread.

Some thieves plot against the emperor, the emperor has died.

What else is there that Shanhaiguan was broken and the rebels in Liaozhen drove straight in...

Of course, the gossip and rumors in the market cannot affect the real development of the situation.

At present, neither the courtiers nor the factory guards care about these trivial matters among the market.

The emperor is critically ill, or in other words, has repeatedly been critically ill, and the imperial physician has repeatedly spoken out and is unable to return to heaven, which has already attracted all the attention of the dignitaries in the capital.

From the first faint, was rescued.

Afterwards, the emperor was dying, and the cruel reality of life on the line was completely revealed to everyone as the disease became more serious.

During the month at the end of the second year of Chongzhen, the emperor spent time on the sickbed, sometimes vomiting and diarrhea, sometimes unconscious, always accompanied by soup and medicine!

The whole person was already emaciated beyond recognition.

In this way, it is a person, and everyone can see it, the emperor, it is really bad!

It's just that no one expected that the emperor repeatedly broke the conclusion that the imperial physician risked his life's assertion that there is no way to return to heaven!

Today, there are those who are looking forward to it, and those who are worried. Of course, more people are looking at Liaodong, and looking at the Zhenbeihou...

Everyone knows that once the emperor dies, the politics of the court and the situation of the world will completely go into the unknown, and among them, the invincible Zhenbeihou, who holds a heavy army in his hands, is undoubtedly an existence that no one can ignore...

Chapter 233 Arriving in Beijing

"Brother Li... Is Brother Li back?"

On the sick bed, as always, that inaudible voice sounded intermittently again.

"Your Majesty, Lord Hou, Lord Hou has returned with his army, and will be there soon..."

Wang Chengen's eyes were red, and he spoke while holding back tears.

"Okay...to see...to watch...the capital, wait for Li...Brother Li to come back..."

Zhu Youjian was like a piece of dead wood, his throat moved once and for all, his voice hoarse and vague.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, this old slave is watching everything, nothing will go wrong..."

Wang Chengen knelt down and kowtowed, already crying two lines.

In the hall, the suppressed crying was also faintly visible.

The person who waits close to him, how can he not know why this emperor, who endured the torment of illness and hangs his life by a thread, hangs his breath tightly, why is this!

Just like when the emperor ascended the throne, he was waiting, waiting for Qianhu, the brave guard who was escorted by the king's protector, and the Marquis of Zhenbei who is now holding the sky with one hand!

It is rare in Qing history for monarchs and ministers to be like this.

The historian's eyes were red, he raised his pen, and slowly recorded this situation in the history book.

……

Monan.

Li Xiu led hundreds of iron cavalry to gallop, and the Beijing camp army was already far behind.

In the original plan, Li Xiu also planned to stay in the grassland for a period of time to plan and coordinate the distribution of forces in the south and north of the monastery.

But now, these can only be put on hold for the time being, and we will talk about it later,

From Liaodong, to Monan, and then to Jizhen...

Dress lightly, travel day and night, dare not rest for a moment.

In fact, so far, no one in the capital knows how the battle in Liaodong is going.

The comprehensive martial law in Shanhaiguan completely cut off all connections between Liaodong and the pass.

And Li Xiu traveled fast and fast, and his speed far exceeded the speed of ordinary post couriers.

Therefore, even though many interested people have been staring at Liaodong for a long time, the speed of information dissemination, after being blocked by Shanhaiguan, is still far from the speed of Li Xiu himself.

As for the capital, without knowing the specific situation of the Liaodong war situation, and under the pressure of the dying emperor, people are already in panic.

The same is true whether it is the common people or the courtiers and gentry.

What the people are worried about is naturally the impact of this situation on survival, while the courtiers and gentry are naturally worried about the direction of the court and even the world after the death of the emperor.

In fact, throughout the Ming Dynasty, it was the first time that civil servants were so worried about the alternation of the old and the new.

The factory guards in the city were rampant, the city gates were guarded by the Forbidden Army, and the five city soldiers and horses patrolled the whole city. Although the entire capital city was not under martial law, in fact, it was not much worse than martial law.

And all of this, even the Ministry of War, can't exert any influence on it!

Zhenbeihou, even though he is not in the capital, but under the influence of his prestige, he is still like a mountain, suppressing everyone!

As dawn broke, the guards at the gate of the capital were routinely switching shifts.

rumbling...

Horseshoes sounded like thunder, looming from the sky.

"cavalry!"

All the soldiers and generals were taken aback for a moment, and in an instant, Huang Degong, the leader of Qian Zong, had a judgment!

"A large group of cavalry!"

"Everyone, be alert!"

With a loud shout, Huang Degong took a step forward and leaped to the corridor on the second floor of the tower. At the same time, he looked in the direction of the sound of horseshoes.

I saw hundreds of cavalry in the sky, sweeping like the wind.

crunch...

Accompanied by the ear-piercing pulling sound, the huge bed crossbow was wound up, and the muzzle of the artillery was slowly moved, finally aiming at the cavalry who was getting closer.

"Open the city gate! Lord Hou returns to Beijing, open the city gate quickly!"

Before Huang Degong sent someone to ask and drive them away, he saw several Qingqi galloping down the tower, shouted loudly, raised their hands, and threw something into the tower.

"Master Hou?"

When these two words came to his ears, Huang Degong's heart skipped a beat. He raised his hand subconsciously to catch the hand letter that was thrown over him, and took a closer look. On the bronze token, the simple and simple word "Zhenbei" was clearly visible.

Before Huang Degong could make a judgment, a group of soldiers cheered on the tower.

"Lord Hou, it's Lord Hou!"

"General, quickly open the city gate, it's really Lord Hou!"

Huang Degong looked away, and then fixed on the leader of the cavalry team.
