Borrow the day to change the day

() The hall is relatively empty, with only one oil lamp on, making it look a little dark.The Emperor Chongzhen was adjusting to his eyes. Archie, who was sitting in front of Zhong Jinwei's bed, turned his head to watch the movement, and found that it was the Emperor Chongzhen who came in. Long live."

In just a short while, Emperor Chongzhen's eyes adapted to the light in the palace, and he saw Archie in front of the bed, but he didn't care about her.Lying on the bed was Zhong Jinwei, who didn't move, could it be that he couldn't move after waking up?

Emperor Chongzhen thought about it and walked over.

The palace lantern in the hand of the servant who followed in immediately illuminated the entire hall, allowing Emperor Chongzhen to see more clearly.

Not moving, still not moving.Emperor Chongzhen walked towards Zhong Jinwei, while watching the person lying on the bed motionless, his heart sank slowly.At this time, there were only the footsteps of Emperor Chongzhen in the entire hall.

Archie lowered his head and saw Emperor Chongzhen approaching, he took two steps to the side and made way for the bedside.

Emperor Chongzhen walked to the bed and looked at Zhong Jinwei's face.It was found that Zhong Jinwei's eyes were still closed, his face was much thinner than when he first saw it, and the cheekbones on both sides were already showing.The hair and beard have also grown a lot, but they are not messy, obviously because someone often takes care of them.

"Mr. Zhong, Mr. Zhong?" Emperor Chongzhen called twice softly.

"Your Majesty, the young master is still awake." Archie beside him gently introduced the situation to Emperor Chongzhen.

"Who were you talking to just now?" Emperor Chongzhen frowned slightly, turned to look at Archie who was kneeling on the ground and asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the slave girl heard from the imperial doctor that a person who has been unconscious for a long time may wake up if someone close to him often talks to him."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded slightly: "It's so late at night, and you still talk to him?"

Archie's face flushed slightly, and he replied: "Young master likes to talk at night by candlelight." Archie didn't have the nerve to say that the two of them were lying on the bed and chatting. Although they were not in the same bed, he couldn't say it.

"Very good, get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Archie stood up slowly, standing at the foot of the bed with his head bowed.

"How is Zhong Jinwei doing recently?"

Archie knew that Emperor Chongzhen didn't ask whether he was awake or not, and things that could be seen at a glance were naturally not questions to ask.

"Although the young master has gradually lost weight, his pulse has increased a lot recently. Eating is much easier than before."

"really?"

"Slaves dare not bully the king." In fact, Archie has already bullied the king once just now.

"Okay, okay!" Emperor Chongzhen grinned slightly after hearing this, and praised with a hint of joy, and then started pacing back and forth in front of the bed, looking down at the bottom of his feet, as if he could find a panacea there that could cure him. Zhong Jinwei is the same.

After a while, Emperor Chongzhen stopped and said to Archie: "Talk to Zhong Jinwei more often. I ordered the Taiyuan Hospital to find relevant medicinal materials to nourish Mr. Zhong, so that Mr. Zhong would not wake up and find himself so thin. Think I have treated you badly. Let him go." Emperor Chongzhen was so happy that he couldn't help but joked.

After finishing his orders, Emperor Chongzhen prepared to go back in a good mood. When he came to the door, he said to Archie: "You did a good job. When Mr. Zhong wakes up, I will reward you a lot!"

On the seventh day of November in the second year of Chongzhen, the Yanshan Mountains had already taken off their blue clothes, but hadn’t put on their silver clothes. They were bare. In the evening, under the sun’s rays, they began to look dark. Not far below the mountain was a returning home river. , In the howling sound of the north wind, I ran away stubbornly, wanting me to stop and rest, I have to be colder.

On the official road along the river, it is unknown whether it is because the weather is getting late or the temperature is too cold, or because of other reasons, there are few pedestrians.In fact, since the erosion of the Liaodong War, the flow of people on this road has decreased a lot.

Just when the sky was about to darken, a faint sound came over, getting louder and louder, just like the rushing river hitting the reef it encountered and making a "rumbling" sound.

If the sky is brighter, you can find a very low dark cloud floating over.

When I got closer, I realized that it was a cavalry army, like a very long python, swimming forward. At the snake's head, there was a big red flag with the word "Yuan" embroidered on it, and small characters on the side. I can't see clearly anymore.

The only passers-by saw clearly that it was Zhi Dajun, so they "swished" to the recessed place not far from the roadside, and hid without daring to move.

This troop was the Guanning iron cavalry going to Jizhou, and Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, was at the forefront of the team.No one spoke, and they all hurried on their way in silence.

After a while, Zu Dashou, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, looked up at the sky, then drove his horse as close as possible to Yuan Chonghuan, controlled the horse's speed, and shouted to Yuan Chonghuan: "Master, the Yutian is ahead. Do you want to stop the camp? After driving for a day, I'm afraid I'm tired."

Yuan Chonghuan looked at Tianse, and then turned his head to look at Zu Dashou. He could vaguely see the look of anticipation on his face, and knew in his heart that it was indeed time to take a rest.

Seeing Yuan Chonghuan nodding his head, Zu Dashou was overjoyed, and wanted to convey the general order, but he heard Yuan Chonghuan shouting loudly: "Take an hour's rest and hurry on the road overnight."

Zu Dashou's smiling face immediately froze, but there was nothing he could do. The leader had to listen to what he said.

Arriving outside Yutian City, the army immediately stopped to rest, but the dust it brought passed them and continued to cover them.

There was a forest in front of the army station, and the birds in it had just finished discussing the harvest of the day and were about to go to sleep when they were awakened by the sound of horseshoes, and they fell back into the forest after realizing that there was no danger.Unexpectedly, the sky was covered with dust, and there was no time to escape, there was no way to escape, and they fell to the ground one after another. When a bird fell down, it was cursing in its heart: Damn, the PM2.5 in ancient times was so serious. , I knew I should bring a mask when I came here.

The army is resting, but Yuan Chonghuan is not resting, and is discussing affairs in the temporary tent: "There will be rewards if you don't accept the night ahead."

General He Kegang came out and replied: "A message was sent back a quarter of an hour ago, and no trace of Jianlu has been found yet."

"How far is this place from Jizhou?"

"There are still two days to go."

Yuan Chonghuan thought about it, frowned and said: "It's too slow. Jianlu set off from Zunhua to Jizhou, which is more than three times shorter than our army. If there is no war, the defense must be lax, and it may not last long. Our army must rush to Jizhou as soon as possible to block Jianlu, otherwise there will be no barriers for the capital."

"In addition, send Yebu to go directly to Jizhou. If Jizhou has fallen into the hands of the Jian captives, we will report back quickly so that the army can respond early." Yuan Chonghuan added after thinking about it.

Zu Dashou knew that what Yuan Chonghuan said was reasonable, but he still came out: "Supervisor, the soldiers have been rushing for more than three days in a row, I'm afraid it will be too much."

Yuan Chonghuan raised his eyebrows: "When marching in wartime, you should follow the general's order. If there is any trouble, you will be killed. Order all the soldiers, if you can come to Jizhou on the ninth day of the lunar new year, each person will be rewarded with two liang of silver, which will never be deducted!"

Zu Dashou wanted to say more, but He Kegang gave him winks, well, that's the only way to go.Order to go down.Although Guan Ning's army was exhausted, but I heard that as long as they go to Jizhou, they will have more than a month's salary and silver hair, and they don't care about their health. Who made our lives cheap.

The closer he got to Jizhou, the more nervous Yuan Chonghuan became. He was afraid that it would be reported that Jizhou had changed its flag and was taken over by Jianlu.

In the afternoon of November [-]th, Guan Ning's army finally arrived in Jizhou.

Fortunately, this did not happen.More than [-] riders arrived in Jizhou, which added another dose of reassurance to the jittery Jizhou.When Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, arrived, many King Qin troops had already arrived.There are You Shiwei, the commander-in-chief of the Central Mountains and Seas, Hou Shilu, the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu, Cao Minglei, the commander-in-chief of Baoding, and others.

After arriving in Jizhou, Yuan Chonghuan didn't bother to take a rest. He called all the generals for a meeting, and first presented the imperial edict to the generals to declare the powers of the generals.Then start asking questions.

The general soldiers had just arrived, and they didn't know much about the local situation, and there was no news about Jianlu. They only knew that Zunhua had fallen on the third day of November, and there were about [-] Jianlu.This stumped Yuan Chonghuan, where did the Jianlu go? The governor is far away in Shanhaiguan, and he has all gone here, but there is no trace of Jianlu on the front line of Zunhua.So, I discussed with the general soldiers.

Zu Dashou, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, took the lead, bowed his hands to Yuan Chonghuan and said, "Supervisor, I think that the final general has robbed enough Jianlu, so he left the pass by himself, so there is no trace of Jianlu."

This seems to be possible, if so, it would be the best.

Liu Ce, the right servant of the Ministry of War and the censor of the capital of Youqin, held a different opinion: "Would it be possible for the prisoner to know that we and other troops gathered in Jizhou to prevent them from attacking the capital, so they detoured to the west again?"

This is also a choice for Jianlu.Yuan Chonghuan looked at the other generals to see if they had any other opinions.Seeing that no one answered, He Kegang talked about his worries: "Master, will Jianlu go to Shanhaiguan along the road of Marshal Zhao's reinforcements?"

This... as if every possibility exists.what to do?

Yuan Chonghuan frowned, thinking hard about which would be Jianlu's choice: now Jianlu is in charge of Huang Taiji, who is courageous but cautious, and will not move unless there is great benefit.Among the several possibilities, only attacking Jizhou and only taking the capital is the most profitable place, but why is there no movement after the army has gathered?

Now since the fall of Zunhua, many have guarded Yongping; Hou Shilu, the commander-in-chief of the government, guarded Sanhe and strangled it to the west; Cao Minglei, the commander-in-chief of Baoding, and Zu Dashou, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, stationed in Jizhou to contain the enemy, and Liu Ce also stationed in Miyun.In this way, every aspect is taken into account.

Just in case, all the generals have to leave overnight without any mistakes.

Some general soldiers were not happy, saying that we just came to King Qin, and we didn’t take a breath, and your supervisor asked us to set off again. Should we pay some settling fees, and what should we do if we bump into Jianlu on the road, right? Add some insurance premiums.

Governor Yuan, how do you deal with this kind of soldier ruffian!
