Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 65 Promotion
Chuangjun was ready to go, but here, Sun Chuanting did not dare to delay.

He crossed the Yellow River in a hurry, went from Shanxi to Shaanxi, and then arrived at Tongguan.

In a blink of an eye, when Sun Chuanting came from behind, Zhu Yixi was taken aback, and he and Li Jizu rushed to meet him.

"Get up!"

Sun Chuanting was seriously ill day by day, his voice was rather weak.

The long time of chasing, escaping, and arrow wounds had severely damaged his vitality.

"It's good that you two can defend Tongguan."

Superintendent Sun looked relieved, and his tone was a little unwilling and lonely: "Although the Qin army was defeated, Tongguan was defended, and there is still hope for some."

Niu Chenghu, Gao Jie, and Bai Guangen on the side had different complexions, barely smiling.

Zhu Yixi also sighed in his heart. There was no one in the Qin army, and Tongguan was not mentioned for the time being. The officials and gentry in Shaanxi, as well as the pressure from the court, were enough to make this old man breathless.

Therefore, even though Sun Chuanting did not die, his political career was over.

"Master, this is your banner!"

Zhu Yixi waved his hand, and the soldiers on the side walked over carrying the handsome flag.

"Oh? Got it by you?"

Sun Chuanting said in surprise.

Gao Jie and the others were also surprised.

"A few days ago, a group of thieves stole the city in the middle of the night and used your banner as bait. Unfortunately, we saw through it and killed the thieves."

Zhu Yixi casually made up and said: "This person must be an important general of the bandit army!"

After a while, a human head was presented, and everyone approached to watch it carefully.

"This is?" Sun Chuanting half stood up, with joy in his eyes: "This, this is—"

"This is a tiger liguo!!"

Chen Yongfu hurriedly leaned over and shouted in surprise.

"That's right, it's Li Guo!"

Gao Jie, who was originally full of anger at Zhu Yixi, lost his temper instantly at this moment, and felt incredible instead:

"I've seen him before. This kid has always been domineering. This is him."

With Gao Jie's confirmation, everyone present believed it.

And Zhu Yixi also had a shocked expression on his face: You can have this kind of military exploits by shooting casually?
"good very good!"

Sun Chuanting patted Zhu Yixi's shoulder and smiled happily: "Jingming, you really did not disappoint me."

"Hey!" Zhu Yixi just smirked, accepting everyone's surprised gazes.

"With Li Guo, it can be considered as an explanation to the court."

Sun Chuanting sighed softly, and everyone turned around from their joy.

As the general soldier of Linyou, Niu Chenghu showed a sad face, he cupped his hands and said: "Master, Xinfeng was defeated, and the son under his command suffered heavy losses, what should be the next step?"

He was the only one left as the commander in chief of the three fronts. This feeling was particularly bleak.

As for Sun Chuanting's future, he also felt hopeless, and couldn't help but want to go home.

You have to carry the biggest pot.

"Don't you have to guard Tongguan?" Bai Guangen said loudly, looking at Niu Chenghu with malicious intent:
"Boss Niu, where do you want to go now?"

Gao Jie was not happy anymore, and looked at Niu Chenghu rather displeased.

Both he and Bai Guangen belonged to Sun Chuanting's direct subordinates, so they would definitely not be able to escape, so the blame had to be shared together.

Niu Chenghu stared wide-eyed, and said in a low voice, "Where can I go? I don't have to listen to the words of the supervisor."

"Everyone!" Chen Yongfu, as the general soldier in Henan, was not afraid of them, but said softly:

"The defeat in this battle is due to Ruzhou, and the fault lies with the officials and the king. If it weren't for their inability to restrain the soldiers and cause riots, how could our food road be cut off?"

"Yes, the crime lies with the officials and the king."

"There are also two people, Qin Yiming and Zuo Liangyu, who hesitated to move forward and refused to obey the military order."

At this moment, the three of them immediately reached a consensus and said in unison.

Zhu Yixi was dumbfounded, the change must have been too fast.

However, it is indeed a good idea to put the blame on the two dead people, since dead people can't speak anyway.

And he raised his eyes to see that Sun Dushi, who was sitting high, closed his eyes and rested his mind at this moment, noncommittal about their quarrel.

After a while, he opened his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice, "I'll talk about the guilt or something later. I will write a memorial and submit it to the court."

"Today, Tongguan is still stable, you should rest for a while!"

"Obey!" Limited by Sun Chuanting's remaining prestige over the years, the generals had no choice but to take orders and leave.

"Jingming, you stay."

"Yes!" Zhu Yixi was a little dazed,

At this time, the gazes of the generals changed a lot, and even Gao Jie, who was looking at each other, couldn't help smiling.

When there were only two people left, Sun Chuanting relaxed and showed a rather painful expression.

"You, what's the matter?" Zhu Yixi was taken aback and hurried forward.

"Bones are failing!" Sun Chuanting smiled wryly, "I ran hundreds of miles a day and was injured by an arrow. It's not bad to survive until now."

Zhu Yixi's expression changed drastically, his lips moved, and he didn't know what to say.

Seeing this, Sun Chuanting said indifferently: "You killed Li Guo, this is a good thing, and it is also a bad thing."

"I don't know the humble job!" Zhu Yixi was surprised.

"The good thing is that I can resist some punishment for me and those general soldiers. The bad thing is, hehe!"

Sun Chuanting smiled, pointed to his feet and said: "Although Tongguan is steep, it is not worth hundreds of thousands of troops. Li Zicheng will definitely attack the city at any cost to avenge his relatives."

"At that time, you will be in danger."

"You mean, I fulfilled General Niu and the others with my own body?"

Zhu Yixi was shocked, she couldn't believe it, in this troubled world, she had become a good person.

In troubled times, good man is a derogatory term.

What the hell, no wonder Gao Jie, who was always arrogant, smiled to himself at this time.

Seeing Zhu Yixi with a flustered face, Sun Chuanting couldn't help but smile:
"Don't panic too much, everything has advantages and disadvantages."

"You are very calm."

Zhu Yixi smiled bitterly and said, "Now Li Zicheng might scold me and plan to tear me into pieces. I have nowhere to escape."

"Hahaha!" Seeing Zhu Yixi's pitiful words, Sun Chuanting laughed and said after a while:

"You wait for me to finish."

Zhu Yixi sighed and listened respectfully.

"If before, you had no qualifications and no combat achievements, I would not be able to promote you."

Sun Chuanting looked at his well-behaved appearance, nodded, and said softly:

"Now that you have killed Li Guo, as long as you share some of the credit with them, I will be promoted to your official position at that time, and they will naturally have nothing to say."

"Besides, with them sharing the pressure, Li Zicheng won't chase you any longer."

Hearing this, Zhu Yixi showed joy, which is not bad.

Finally, he became an official in a serious manner.

"The head of Li Zicheng, the imperial court titled Marquis, Wan Jin, Li Guo, as his nephew, can't be too little."

Sun Chuanting chuckled, knowing the desire of young people like the back of his hand:

"The Qin army is recruiting soldiers and directly under the Ministry of War. You are hopeless as a general and general, but you can do guerrillas. No one else can gossip."

The so-called guerrilla refers to the guerrilla general, the fifth rank, standing in the frontier army, above the thousand generals, with an indefinite number of establishments.

For Zhu Yixi, this is to legalize the army under his hands, so why would he not want to.

"Thank you, Supervisor!"

Zhu Yixi was overjoyed.
