Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 497 What is the purpose of going here? (third change)
When the commander-in-chief You Shiwei arrived a few miles in front of the Dazhigu Wharf by boat, he asked people to drop the anchor to prevent the boat from colliding with it.

A few miles away, they watched the black smoke billowing ahead and the flames soaring into the sky.

Although You Shiwei's flag gave great confidence to the officers and soldiers along the river one after another, they arrived here smoothly and scared all the bandits away.

But it's too late!

Not only the Dazhigu Wharf in Tianjin, but also the Tianjin Acropolis in Xiaozhigu also had several black smoke rising into the sky.

Gao Chuangzei has already run to Shandong with a large number of people.

The commander-in-chief You Shiwei supported the side of the boat and ordered the soldiers to disembark, staring at the black smoke in a daze.

In any case, let Gao Chuangzei leave like this, and he will not be able to pay the job with His Majesty.

Gao Chuangzei brought a large number of "refugees" as soldiers, and he was definitely not his opponent, and his march was slow, so there would definitely be many chances of victory on the road.

You Shiwei led the people to the Dazhigu Wharf, looking around, there were flames everywhere, and the hot air that hit your face burned your face.

Let you subconsciously step back and stay away from this place.

All the shops on the shore were burned, and it was a mess.

As for the canal, there are several sunken ships lying across, with the tops of their masts leaking.

Under the surface of the river, Gao ChuangZhou may have scuttled many ships, which is really a good and cruel method.

Originally, the waterway from Linqing in Shandong to Tianjin was extremely easy to block silt and hinder the travel of tank boats.

Now that the canals are all destroyed, water transportation is even more difficult.

It may take a long time for the throat of Tianjin to be unobstructed again.

Lieutenant General Zhang Waijia said, "Master, shall we continue to pursue?"

"Chasing, return to Beijing before a battle is fought, His Majesty will not let us go."

You Shiwei held the handle of the knife, looked at the burning pier, and said:

"Order the brothers to bury the pot to make food, just to save firewood, and wait for the sentry to come back, making plans."

"Yes."

He Jinchao commanded Wu Hai and asked him to set off for Shandong with the improvised rebel army and take everything he could, even if it was to flee from famine.

Then he cut off the canal, filled the tank boats with stones, and drilled leaks.

A ship lay across the bottom of the river, which brought many difficulties to Chongzhen's water transportation.

At the same time, the imperial court's reinforcements were not allowed to go up the river by boat to catch up with the rebel army of Wu Hai and others.

You Shiwei can only choose to pursue by land, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty.

The key point is that You Shiwei didn't bring much food and grass, let alone civilian husbands, so he could only go to Tianjin Acropolis to forcibly recruit civilian husbands and food.

The emperor's order is hard to break, even if there are many difficulties, he must go to Shandong.

You Shiwei also had to win a battle before he could go back.

Then he personally wrote a good report, saying that he had killed several bandits who harassed Nanyunheyan County and recovered Tianjin Acropolis.

Gao Chuangzei heard that His Majesty sent troops to come, and immediately burned the Dazhigu Wharf, blocked the canal, and abducted a large number of young and strong men from Tianjin, and fled to Shandong for their lives.

You Shiwei finally mentioned his own difficulties, lack of food and husbands.

But please rest assured, Your Majesty, he will continue to hunt and kill Gao Chuang thief, even if he goes to Shandong, he will not let him go easily.

Such a letter has only made a small contribution so far, but at least the future can be expected!

You Shiwei has done a lot of research on the matter of writing the victory report. In the past, Wei Zhongxian had to be added as the title, all because of the eunuch Wei's commanding skills.

He Jinchao joined forces with Gao Yingxiang, and they marched along another river, the Wuqing Feng River.

"Captain, the sentry sent back the news that the group of officers and soldiers, about four to five thousand people, is resting at the Dazhigu Wharf."

Listening to Gao Yigong's report, He Jinzhao nodded slightly to show he understood.

"Brother Gao, everything is within our plan."

He Jinzhao pointed to the banner of the Tianxiong Army at the head.

Previously, everyone thought it was Tianxiong's rebels, but they were actually the troops of King Gao Chuang. Now the fake King Gao Chuang took people to Shandong.

Under the publicity of He Jinzhao, everyone in the surrounding area knew about it.

"Real King Gao Chuang" continued to transform into the Tianxiong Army, and accompanied He Jinchao to continue pretending to be an official army and rush to the capital of Daming.

Gao Yingxiang admired He Jinzhao's "fraud" behavior very much.

In terms of strategy formulation, I have to admit that people can really think about it, and there are a lot of tricks.

So Gao Yingxiang is also willing to act together with He Jinzhao, and then just fight.

Just relying on bloodless soldiers to break up the military defenses of the Tianjin Acropolis, allowing them to collapse without fighting.

Gao Yingxiang was able to make a big fuss in Tianjin Wei, and He Jinchao's preliminary preparations were indispensable behind it.

"Well, as long as we hide it for a few more days, the commander-in-chief You Shiwei will lead people out of Tianjin and chase Wu Hai and the others.

We can cross the Luding Bridge, approach Wanping City, and finally go to Beijing to make a big fuss. "

He Jinzhao was riding a horse, but he was not in a hurry:
"This is just the first wave of the imperial court's counter-insurgency army. I don't know if there will be a second wave. The two of us are making such a big fuss."

Gao Yingxiang didn't care much:

"Brother He, don't think too much, as long as we can get close to Beijing, how many troops will Chongzhen have to stop us?"

"Ah."

He Jinchao nodded. You Shiwei was guarding the Twelve Tombs of the Ming Dynasty. This is the closest and most effective army in Beijing to the imperial palace.

As for other places, He Jinzhao did not know the specific military arrangements.

But after all, there are many passes in the north, and there are many Ming officials and troops.

Whether these officers and soldiers can return to aid in time, there is a lot of room for He Jinzhao to manipulate.

Gao Yingxiang was full of smiles, yearning for his fame in the capital.

It is just like Brother He said, Kou can go, so can I.

"Brother He, what is your intention this time?"

He Jinzhao suddenly raised his horsewhip and said, "Step into the southern sky, break the sky!"

Gao Yingxiang raised his eyebrows slightly, and couldn't help shouting loudly: "It's a good one to step into the southern sky and break the sky."

"This time, he will definitely turn the world upside down, and make the dog emperor Chongzhen and those high-ranking officials tremble with fear."

"Hahaha." Gao Yingxiang also held up his horsewhip: "It's really fun."

Thirty miles ahead is Hongren Bridge.

Hebei, Pingxiang County.

Under the command of Lu Xiangsheng, the Tianxiong Army had besieged Pingxiang County for several days.

As for the light and heavy cavalry by the river, they never showed up, but were monitoring Zuo Liangyu on the other side.

Lu Xiangsheng even tried to attack Pingxiang County to test whether Zijin Liang was hiding those light and heavy cavalry.

However, Zijin Liang guarded the city, but he didn't panic at all.

This made Lu Xiangsheng frowned. Just as he was thinking, the latest news came.

Many Shanxi thieves have already arrived in Guangping Mansion and are coming along the road of this group of thieves.

Hearing the news, Lu Xiangsheng understood that Zijin Liang was waiting for his reinforcements to arrive.

"Counselor Kou, let's secretly order [-] soldiers first. I decided to attack the reinforcements of the bandits instead of attacking the city. As long as we defeat these people, the rebels in the city will definitely be frightened."

"Yes." Counselor Kou Conghua hurried down to prepare.

"Report." Another person came to report: "My lord, there is news from the capital."
