Chapter 231 Cao Yi’s choice (fifth update)

Yang Xiangzheng was very grateful to Lin Cunde. Lin Cunde had just sent someone to deliver the memorial to the capital. In other words, Yang Xiangzheng's credit had been determined.

Generally, after a great victory is won, the emperor will not scrutinize the merits reported by the generals below. After all, the emperor does not know about the frontline matters. Moreover, as long as the soldiers below have no objection to who has greater or lesser achievements in combat, the emperor will not There will be no strict investigation.

Besides, the secret message Lin Cunde sent to Lin Cunli already mentioned that Yang Xiangzheng and Shi Heng were guarding the city. Moreover, Lin Cunde had also greeted Zhu Qiyu before. Shi Heng was a person that Lin Cunde did not dare to trust. Therefore, if Lin Cunde arranged this, Zhu Qiyu would not Can you not understand?

Lin Cunde stood there, looking outside Shanhaiguan. Yang Xiangzheng was standing behind Lin Cunde.

After a while, Lin Cunde suddenly asked: "Among the defenders in Liaodong Town, some of them should know that we won the battle in Shanhaiguan, right? Our messengers have probably arrived in Qianbei Town too!"

"I guess we're here!" Yang Xiang nodded from behind and said.

Now it depends on the generals in Liaodong Town, how they choose, whether to continue to choose to follow the Supreme Emperor, or to follow His Majesty.

If they follow the Supreme Emperor, I don't mind killing them all. Anyway, there aren't many troops on the Wala side. In recent years, they don't want to invade the border on a large scale. If they kill the defenders of Liaodong Town, they can immediately mobilize the guards from the pass to guard them. .

Lin Cunde prayed in his heart that Cao Yi, as the chief military officer of Liaodong Town, would not lead the soldiers below to surrender. If he surrendered, it would be a huge loss for Ming Dynasty.

I don’t want to fight Ming’s own army!

But it won't work if we don't fight. This is a life-and-death war.

I know the information about Cao Yi. He was promoted by Zhu Qizhen and was highly regarded by Zhu Qizhen.

If this person surrenders, he will not feel surprised, but he still hopes in his heart. Cao Yi also has the safety of the people of the Ming Dynasty and the safety of the soldiers below, instead of just considering the merits of Conglong!

But human nature cannot stand the test!

He doesn't know how Cao Yi chooses. The news from Liaodong Town cannot reach Shanhaiguan!

Lin Cunde could only see the news from Liaodong Town passed from the court. The defenders of Yizhou Acropolis had surrendered, but it was not known whether the defenders of other acropolis had surrendered.

"I hope they know the news of our victory!" Lin Cunde said with a frown.

Although Yang Xiangzheng didn't know why Lin Cunde was so worried about Liaodong Town, he also felt that Lin Cunde was under a lot of pressure. Where did this pressure come from? He didn't know, and he was also surprised. Even with Wala Yexian's tens of thousands of cavalry, Lin Cunde was completely There is no reason to worry!

Even if the Ming Dynasty's cavalry were exhausted, they could still defeat the more than 30,000 cavalrymen who came first.

There must be no heavy cavalry there first.

Without heavy cavalry, the Ming Dynasty's cavalry was not afraid of them.

"Yes, I will!" Yang Xiangzheng stood behind and said in agreement.

Soon, the sun set, and Lin Cunde returned to the Zhongjun tent.

At this moment in Qianbei Town, Cao Yi had just received the news from Shanhaiguan. Shanhaiguan was victorious. Lulingbo had completely wiped out the army of Wala Asizhiyuan. Asizhiyuan had been beheaded!

When Cao Yi received the news, he couldn't believe it!

Fifty thousand cavalry were wiped out?

They were completely wiped out by a seventeen-year-old boy who had never led an army in battle.

Who dares to believe such news?

However, the messenger who came to deliver the message came from the Fifth Army Camp, and this person said he came from Shanhaiguan. In other words, now they can pass the Shanhaiguan to deliver the message to Beijing without having to take a detour.

Cao Yi sent someone to take the messengers to rest, leaving behind his subordinates who had rushed over.

Just now, they also heard the message from Lin Cunde's messengers. Shanhaiguan was victorious and the 50,000 cavalry led by Asi were wiped out!

After hearing what the messenger said, they rushed here.

"Sir, this news?" Xiao Yijun looked at Cao Yi with excitement. How could he not be excited?

"I hope this news is true, but I can't figure it out. How was this battle fought? A'ci led 10,000 heavy-armored cavalry. How could Ming's heavy-armored cavalry compare with Wala's? , we cannot defeat the same number of heavy armored cavalry. How many heavy armored cavalry did Lin Cunde bring this time?

I estimate that there are not many. There are only three thousand battalions of heavy armored cavalry in the capital, and they need to support Shanhaiguan in a short time. The heavy armored cavalry from other guards may not be able to get there!

He also annihilated them all. How did he annihilate them all? "Cao Yi stood there, looking at them in disbelief and asked.

A few of them looked at me and I looked at you, and they began to calm down. Indeed, how was this battle fought?

"Hey, I want to write a memorial and return to Beijing. I will wait for the news from His Majesty. However, if it is true, if you don't retreat first, then just wait for death!" Cao Yi also smiled at this moment and said.

Now he is not sure whether this news is true. If it is ordinary, he will definitely believe it. After all, the messenger is here, and the secret letter also contains the customs seal of the Shanhaiguan Commander-in-Chief. How can it be faked? But what time is it now?

When the two brothers Zhu Qiyu and Zhu Qiyu were fighting, I believe that Zhu Qiyu was also worried that he would surrender, so it was very possible that he would use such a false victory report to deceive himself and prevent him from surrendering.

However, Cao Yi did not intend to surrender. He did not want his family to be killed or his own people to fight his own people. Moreover, Zhu Qiyu was good as emperor. At the very least, he did not make any big mistakes. Therefore, Cao Yi was still prepared to continue to hold on and was not prepared to take the initiative.

He was also worried that he would not be able to control some of his ambitious subordinates below. If they surrendered, the morale of the army would be in chaos, so it was better to stabilize it first.

"Sir, if Shanhaiguan really wins, then it will be much easier for us here from now on, and Wala probably won't dare to come to the border!" Chen Dangli said excitedly.

After hearing this, Cao Yi nodded and said: "That's for sure. Ye Xian doesn't have so many people in his hands. If he wants to continue to fight against Ming Dynasty, unless he wants Wala to be completely destroyed!"

"Then continue to hold on and confirm the news! In addition, we also need to send some people to Shanhaiguan to inquire about the news. If no Oara cavalry is found outside Shanhaiguan, it is estimated that the news is true, and we will be able to dispatch it then. Troops, find a way to encircle and annihilate Ye Xian's army!" Chen Dangli suggested while looking at Cao Yi.

"Encirclement and annihilation?" Cao Yi looked at Chen Dangli, then shook his head.

Chen Dangli understood immediately. They really couldn't encircle and annihilate him. If they really surrounded the Supreme Emperor, what would they do? storm? What if the Supreme Emperor is killed? Who will bear the crime? Let him go? Even worse! Take them back alive? That's not possible. What if His Majesty doesn't want him to come back alive?

Facing Zhu Qizhen, they will definitely be in a dilemma!

Especially like this, it is better to wait, and then retreat first, and retreat with the Supreme Emperor!

"Hey, those generals in Yizhou Guard City are probably in trouble!" Xiao Yijun said with a sigh.

After hearing this, Cao Yi gritted his teeth and said, "That's Jiang Chenlong seeking death on his own. Who can blame him?"

Then Cao Yi ordered people to go down and send people to Shanhaiguan to investigate. At the same time, he wrote a memorial to Zhu Qiyu and asked the messenger to send it back to see if he could pass Shanhaiguan!

The next morning, Ye had already led the army to Qianbei Town. Now he just wanted to grab the supplies in Qianbei Town. Most of the supplies in Liaodong Town were in Qianbei Town.

Therefore, he did not listen to Zhu Qizhen. Zhu Qizhen originally wanted to go a few days later, but it was not too late to go after Cao Yi's clear reply!

However, Zhu Qizhen was also happy to lead the army to Qianbei Town first. There were too few troops in Yizhou Guard City to put pressure on him first.

But there are 20,000 troops garrisoned in Qianbei Town. If Cao Yi surrenders, he will control 20,000 Ming troops. Plus the Yizhou Guards, it will not be much less than Ye Xian.

It’s impossible to completely control yourself first!

Moreover, if Cao Yi surrenders, the armies in other guard cities will also surrender, and then he will control an army of 150,000!

If you don't kill it yourself, you'll have to burn incense first!

However, Zhu Qizhen did not intend to kill Ye Xian so quickly. He wanted to use Oala's cavalry to put pressure on Ming Dynasty and force all the civil servants of Ming Dynasty to surrender to him.

After all, those civil servants do not want to fight. If the Oara army is pressing down on the country, those civil servants in Beijing will definitely find a way to surrender to them and force Zhu Qiyu to abdicate.

These are all planned by Zhu Qizhen!

Zhu Qiyu sat on the horse, with three hundred guards sent by Jiang Chenlong beside him. Ha Ming had been silent during this period. Ha Ming was dissatisfied with Zhu Qizhen's actions, but now he had no choice. To retreat, we can only follow Zhu Qizhen.

"Ha Ming, how long until we get to Qianbei Town?" Zhu Qizhen sat on the horse and asked Ha Ming behind him.

Ha Ming made a mental calculation and said: "Your Majesty, it is estimated that it will take another two days to arrive!"

"After we arrive in Qianbei Town, we will not be far away from returning to Beijing! Just hold on for a few more days!" Zhu Qizhen said to Ha Ming.

Ha Ming said yes without saying anything more.

Zhu Qizhen knew that Ha Ming was dissatisfied, but he didn't want to talk about it!

He was a former emperor, how could he be robbed by a boy like King Xin?

If this boy had listened to his mother carefully, he would definitely not do such a thing. After all, with his mother here, Zhu Qiyu would not have a son, and even if he had a son, he would not grow up!

But now, the queen mother has lost her power in the palace.

Then, you have to think of a solution yourself!

At this time, he also took his guards and rode to Zhu Qi Town.

In the past two days, Ye Xian came over to ask Zhu Qizhen twice every day, asking if he had received a reply from Cao Yi.

Zhu Qizhen said no!

In fact, Zhu Qizhen was also anxious in his heart. Could it be that Cao Yi would abandon him and ignore him? He valued him very much at the beginning!
