eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 484 The Bane
In mid-August of the second year of Zhengde, Ma Rong also received Zhou Shangwen's military order, so he led eight thousand Yulin athletes back to the team quickly.

At the same time, Dayan Khan chose to gather his troops and march southeast after seeing that it would be impossible to attack Datong again.

There was great disturbance in the counties along the way, probably because the loss of Datong made him feel cruel, and the people scattered and fled wherever he passed, but in the end there were still souls killed by the sword.

Three days later, Tatar soldiers pointed their swords at Zijing Pass.

It turned out that a garrison general named Yuan Chuang was guarding the Zijing Pass. He was shocked when he saw the speed of the Tatar army.

However, Shi Feng and Zhu Feng, who came to reinforce, felt that the Tatar 8 horses marched intensively. At this time, they were exhausted and exhausted.

Therefore, it is time to go out to meet the enemy!
Yuan Chuang had never led the so-called Shangzhi personal guards, but he knew what the soldiers in his hands looked like.

So he firmly opposed,

"Bauhinia Pass is the gate of the capital. Once this pass is breached, the capital will be close at hand! Therefore, our first priority is to hold on to this pass! The imperial court sent reinforcements to guard the pass, but has there ever been a decree to The two generals went out to meet the enemy?!"

Yuan Chuang is a middle-aged official with a goatee and a thin build, but he has a bit of momentum when he shouts.

However, Shi Feng was indeed different from what he thought.

"Your Majesty has no will! But I have served Your Majesty for several years, and His Majesty is flexible in the way of using troops. Your Majesty has made it clear that you will not accept the orders of the emperor outside! Nowadays, there are tens of thousands of Tartars. I'm so exhausted, I'm still guarding the city at this moment, waiting for them to rest and attack Zijing Pass with all my strength?!"

Yuan Chuang refused, "The tartars are exhausted? How dare the general say this?! What if they still have energy, what if it's a trap?! I am the general guarding the Zijing Pass. You can blame me for losing the Zijing Pass. Drop it, but I can't push it away!"

"What is this called? I lead the soldiers and fight the battles. Even if I want to push, how can I push? He is not a god in the sky, why can't he fight?!"

Shi Feng is a general who came from the Military Academy and Shangzhi Personal Guard. Many of the things he has come into contact with are the better aspects of the current Ming army.

And what the emperor instilled in them has always been that you are an elite army.

What is elite?

Not being able to take advantage of an opportunity is not considered elite.

What's more, Shi Feng also has the mentality of making meritorious service.

It's not just him, the military academy instills this in all students.

The young soldiers wanted to be named Marquis and Boss through military merit.

In terms of the status in the emperor's heart, the current generals are much stronger than in the past. At this time, there are elite soldiers in their hands. If they don't make achievements, when will they wait?
"Little Duke, what do you think?" Shi Feng asked Zhu Feng for help.

After thinking about it, Zhu Feng said, "Why don't you feign an attack first to test the Tatars' reaction."

This is no good, Shi Feng immediately shook his head.

"How to feint?" Yuan Chuang immediately asked back, pointing to the vital point, "All the way out of the customs, once they are chased and attacked by the Tartars and they are defeated, at that time shall we switch to save Paoze, or retreat to protect Zijing Pass?"

On the battlefield, it is life and death, and there are not so many ways to "seek progress while maintaining stability".

You either fight or you don’t fight. If you fight, you still want to be stable, and if you are stable, you still want to advance. What is this called?
Shi Feng also knew that these people could not count on him, "I will fight this battle! Something went wrong, cut off my head!"

Yuan Chuang tried his best to obstruct it, "If the general encounters an accident, the Zijing Pass will definitely not be able to hold it, and if the Zijing Pass cannot be held, the subordinates will lose their lives!"

When the two sides were arguing, news came from outside the house:

The Tatars began to attack under the walls of Zijingguan!
Yuan Chuang stopped talking at this time, the facts were before his eyes.What about the tired army, the Tartars are now attacking the Bauhinia Pass!
Shi Feng was a little embarrassed.

But it's useless to say anything else at this time.

Meet the enemy!
"Test the depth first, if possible..." Shi Feng was still thinking about attacking the enemy camp.

This thing is indeed a little risky.

But he and his soldiers used the courage to fight. When the two armies set up a battle, even if Dayan Khan could eat it, he would have to lose a few teeth, and it depends on his reluctance. Losing soldiers and destroying generals is a fart.

……

……

The Bauhinia Pass is relatively close to the capital, eight hundred miles away, and a day's work is enough.

So there are more and more military newspapers ahead.

But Zhu Houzhao is really more concerned about when Zhou Shangwen can give him news.

After Dayan Khan crossed Datong, he began to care about another thing.

"Datong can't be defeated, and the Zijing Pass may be very difficult." Zhu Houzhao nodded his chin, discussing with the ministers, "Why does the little Tatar prince still want to defeat the capital? He should know that he couldn't do it back then. I will definitely not let him do what he did. Even Zijing Pass, he should not fight again."

This is an unreasonable way to go north to Zhili.

When a person's military strategy is incomprehensible, it is necessary to think about whether he has any political plans.

The political gain of his fierce attack all the way was to shock the capital.

Once the capital shakes, some places can't be taken care of.

Wang Jia speculated: "Will he attack Yulin instead? Join forces with Huoshai?"

"It's possible." Zhu Houzhao rubbed his fingers, "It's also possible that he went after Zhou Shangwen. His fundamental purpose in this battle must not be to replace Daming, but...to remind Zhou Shangwen. "

If Zhou Shangwen is in a hurry to return to the army, in the event of an accident in the capital, he may not be able to take care of many details, that is to say, he will be easily ambushed.

As soon as the emperor's words came out, several ministers in Qianqing Palace were also smart people, so they naturally understood.

Wang Bing was startled, "I will draw up an order immediately."

"No, this matter is important. I will order the Li Jian and Jin Yiwei to find a way to deliver the imperial decree to Datong. As long as Zhou Shangwen returns to Datong, he will definitely be able to see it."

If Zhou Shangwen's department is ambushed and wiped out, and his muscles and bones are injured, the situation will be passive.

"Weichen suggested to give Yang Ge a reminder as well."

"Precise play."

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing that I can't make up my mind about."

"Say."

"The relevant personnel of the so-called Fuli sect who were arrested before, should they be killed or not?"

Zhu Houzhao asked back: "Don't kill them, wait for them to cooperate with the Tartars?"

This is a heavy statement, but it is intended to designate these people as treason, so there is nothing wrong with it.

At this time, Ma Yiqian had already mixed in with the common people who had gone out of the city to transport grain, and fled in a hurry.

But his friends, wife and children are all in the city, so where can he go alone?
For him, the blow of family ruin is one aspect, and the shock of his own heart is also not small. He used to call himself a saint disciple, a gentleman who sacrificed his life for righteousness, but this time, he hid everywhere like a bereaved dog. Just live.

So I am a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, right?
At least that's how it actually is.

The continuous fleeing and various psychological shocks have gradually brought about some changes in him, at least he is no longer the original Ma Yiqian.Originally, he just didn't understand the practices of some courts, but now he has a layer of hatred.

What he is today is all caused by the emperor.

====
I'm really not very good at writing about wars. The main purpose of this book is not to write about fighting and killing. I personally feel that many emperors' writings are about fighting every day.I believe that those who love to watch war dramas must not see the present.I know all this.

But this paragraph is a relatively critical battle, even if it is straightforward, at least let me finish writing, otherwise the plot will collapse if the plot does not match.

Also, I'll try to be as brief as possible.
