From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 240

"We have already passed Badaling, and they are also at the end of their strength."

Yao Guangyi is not tall. Among the many generals of the Jin Dynasty, he is a typical wise general. Although he is not good at fighting in battle, he has a flawless plan and can often predict the enemy in advance.

The map seems to have grown in his mind, and every inch of detail is remembered clearly.

He just held the teacup and frowned, saying: "The imperial guards can't stand it after two days without food and water. Those royal nobles and princes and ministers are about to collapse. Now King Jing's army is probably catching up."

The lieutenant general whispered: "Then do we still need to catch up?"

"Of course."

Yao Guangyi said: "In about two hours, they will be surrounded near Miyun Lake, where there is sufficient water and fish and shrimps are full of ponds. It is the only place where they can be supplied."

"To the south is Jizhou, but it is blocked by Panshan Mountain and King Jing's army, so they can't get through."

"The main worry now is that Jizhou Did the defenders of Jizhou take action in advance? After all, there are 100,000 troops. Even if some of them come to defend the king, King Jing’s army can’t stop them. "

Speaking of this, Yao Guangyi smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty didn’t bring any food supplies. Did the Beijing camp bring them? King Jing made a thousand calculations, but he couldn’t have expected that the other side could escape for two full days."

The lieutenant general glared and said, "Then their 60,000 people really can’t deal with the defenders of Jizhou. We have to speed up."

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from outside the carriage: "General, the latest letter from Jizhou."

Yao Guangyi reached out and opened the letter, and his face suddenly changed.

The lieutenant general couldn't help but ask, "Have the soldiers of Jizhou come to the king?"

"No!"

Yao Guangyi said in a deep voice, "The 10,000-strong Eastern Tartar army set out from Shenzhou and has already arrived at the Jizhou tower."

The lieutenant general couldn't help but say happily, "Good news! The soldiers of Jizhou can't leave!"

Yao Guangyi's face was very ugly. He was silent for a moment before saying, "King Jing, King Jing, you are really vicious. As a royal noble, you actually colluded with foreigners to seize power."

The lieutenant general was shocked and whispered, "General, do you mean that the Eastern Tartar attacked Jizhou because they got the news from King Jing?"

Yao Guangyi said, "Otherwise, the other side couldn't have been so fast, marching straight from Shenzhou, and with 10,000 troops."

The Eastern Tartar army is full of 10,000 and invincible. These 10,000 people are not a small number for the Eastern Tartar.

Thinking of this, Yao Guangyi frowned and said, "If Jizhou cannot be left, what should Your Majesty do? Based on my understanding of her over the years, she is very cunning and should not be in such a mess."

"Rely on the Wucheng Bingma Division? There are only 10,000 people there!"

Yao Guangyi felt uneasy, after all, it was too abnormal.

He immediately ordered: "Speed ​​up the march and join King Jing's army in the Miyun Lake area. There is no time to delay."

...

At the foot of Yanshan Mountain, the heavy snow in the wilderness has not completely melted, and the whole land is withered.

More than 10,000 soldiers of the Wucheng Bingma Division have already stood in line in an orderly manner, wearing iron armor, with sharp swords, and infinite momentum.

The five major commanders, the five governors, and the twenty clerks have all gathered here.

The setting sun is like blood, and the whole world is extremely solemn.

Zhou Yuan held a sword and stood on a temporary high platform, looking at tens of thousands of soldiers with a sharp gaze.

He said loudly: "Brothers, whether it is South City, North City, or the other three cities, they are all the Five City Military Departments, and we should be of the same blood and as close as brothers."

"Seven days ago, I sent a letter to invite you brothers to come here to climb the snow-capped mountains and put out the mountain fire. After the fire was put out, I didn't let you go home to reunite. You have stayed until today, which is the second day of the Chinese New Year."

"This year should have been a good year, but I made everyone have a bad time."

Speaking of this, Zhou Yuan smiled slowly and said: "I think everyone is very confused. Why do we have to stay here? What do you want us to do?"

Many soldiers looked at each other, all with confusion on their faces. They were not allowed to go home for the New Year, and everyone had some resentment in their hearts.

Zhou Yuan said: "In fact, not only do you not know, but even other commanders and governors do not know. Only I, Zhou Yuan, know what to do."

"They trust me and are willing to hand over the military token to me and let me lead you."

"Now the time is ripe, and I should tell you the truth."

The wind blows, and dust fills the sky.

The sunset has disappeared, and only the sunset glows like fire.

Zhou Yuan said loudly: "I, Zhou Yuan, brought you here on the orders of His Majesty, asking you to fight for the king!"

As soon as these words came out, countless people changed color.

The two words "serve the king" are not something that can be used casually!

Zhou Yuan said: "During the New Year's Eve ceremony to worship the sky, King Jing Chen De led five military camps to openly rebel and attempted to kill the king and usurp the throne."

"Fortunately, there are six thousand forbiddenThe army fought desperately to resist and escorted His Majesty to escape from the capital, heading northeast. "

The people below were already screaming and panicking.

They couldn't stay calm in such a horrifying thing.

With the blessing of his inner strength, Zhou Yuan's voice spread across the wilderness: "Xuanfu Jiedushi Yao Guangyi, rebelled with the bandits and led 50,000 troops from Juyongguan."

"Your Majesty and the royal family nobles are fleeing to our Yanshan garrison under the pursuit of 110,000 traitors and rebels."

The noise below was getting louder and louder, and the entire Wucheng Bingma Division was in an uproar.

Liu Daguang stood up and shouted: "Stop arguing! Listen to what Boss Zhou says!"

Until this moment, the scene was quiet, with only heavy breathing and the bleak north wind.

Zhou Yuan used his inner strength and said loudly: "As a soldier, you should support the royal family, protect His Majesty, and guard the country. ”

“The soldiers of the Wucheng Bingma Division have always been looked down upon, and even degraded to sewage workers.”

“Now, it’s time for us to shine and prove ourselves.”

He waved his hand and roared: “Look at the armor on you, look at the knives on your waists, I specifically asked you to carry them, these things can’t put out fires, but they can kill people!”

“Now, I, Zhou Yuan, will go to welcome the emperor and fight the rebels to the death to defend the dignity of my Bingma Division and the great Jin Dynasty!”

“Do you have the courage to go with me! Avenge the previous shame! Fight for a future and a life of wealth and glory!”

Tens of thousands of soldiers shouted in unison: “Yes!”

Zhou Yuan raised his knife, looked up to the sky and roared: “Follow me! Welcome the emperor! Punish the traitors!”

“Welcome the emperor! Punish the traitors! "

Zhou Yuan took the lead in getting on his horse, and walked in front with a group of commanders. Tens of thousands of soldiers rushed behind, heading straight to the southwest to welcome the emperor.

Liu Daguang's blood was boiling, and his voice was trembling with excitement: "Boss Zhou, you didn't lie to me, are we really going to welcome the emperor? His Majesty still knows us little people?"

Hong Bo also shouted: "Yes, we are all fifth-rank officials, and His Majesty actually takes us seriously and lets us receive the emperor!"

Zhou Yuan said in a deep voice: "It is also because we did a good job this winter, so our names were heard by the emperor, and we have such an important task."

"Brothers, the opportunity to make meritorious deeds is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and a person may only have this once in his life."

"I am not talented, but I also want to climb up. I just hope that you will not be a coward at the critical moment, and lose your courage and embarrass our Wucheng Bingma Division! "

Liu Daguang couldn't listen to these words, and immediately shouted: "Whoever dares to be a coward, I will kill him first!"

Luo Kun said in a deep voice: "Boss Zhou, we have such a good opportunity because of you."

"I won't say much about the rest. Even if I die on the battlefield, I will never embarrass you!"

The five commanders of the Wucheng Bingma Division looked at each other and saw the determination and murderous intent in each other's eyes.
