Wanli 1592

Chapter 565 Greeting His Royal Highness Prince Jin
When Xiao Ruxun led his troops to Qixian County, seeing the gates of the county closed tightly, he thought that something had happened, but the battle flag of Ming Dynasty was still hanging on the gate, and the army of Ming Dynasty could be vaguely seen on the top of the city. The North Prisoner's warning was about to come, so he kept the door behind closed doors.

So he immediately sent someone to the city to call the door.

In the city, Zhu Minchun, who was so frightened, heard that there was a Ming army coming from outside the city, and quickly asked, "Who came? How many soldiers and horses are here?"

The messenger said: "The other party said that the commander-in-chief of Yubian Pinglu, Zhennanhou Xiao Ruxun, led the troops. There were many horses and cavalry. There were always tens of thousands of cavalry."

"Xiao Ruxun?"

Zhu Minchun blinked, and suddenly remembered the name. He looked at the magistrate of Qixian County and the general of Qixian County. Seeing the expressions of ecstasy on the faces of the two, he confirmed what the name meant.

Xiao Ruxun, the No.1 general in Wanli, has never been defeated since the battle, and can shine in every battle, so he is deeply relied on by the emperor. However, three years ago, he went south to guard Burma, and then he was enshrined in the town of Burma Zhennan Hou, it stands to reason that he would not return to the north...

Now that he is back, it means that the emperor summoned him back.

There is no doubt that it is him!

"Let him in!"

Zhu Minchun hurriedly said, but was stopped by the guard of Qi County again.

"Your Highness, no! We haven't verified their identities yet, and we have to verify their identities before putting them in. Otherwise, what if it's a trick by Beilu? Your Highness's safety is too important, and we have to be careful! "

What he said was very reasonable, Zhu Minchun thought it was right, and the county magistrate of Qi County had no objection, so the three of them drove directly to the North City Gate to see if Xiao Ruxun and his so-called army were real or not. If it was true, There is nothing to say about that, just put it in directly, if it is fake, it's over, everyone can prepare for a desperate battle.

Then Zhu Minchun will go crazy.

Fortunately, he is a lucky man. He went up to the tower and let the people around him shout to Xiao Ruxun, asking him to come to pay respects to King Jin. Xiao Ruxun knew that Zhu Minchun had doubts about his identity, so it was not surprising, so he took off his military helmet , revealing the hair ornaments of the Han people, rode forward, dismounted in front of the city gate, and knelt down on one knee.

"The last general Yu Bian Pinglu, admiral and commander-in-chief, Xiao Ruxun, Marquis of Zhennan, pays his respects to His Royal Highness King Jin!"

The sergeants behind Xiao Ruxun also got off their horses and shouted in unison: "Greetings, His Royal Highness King Jin!"

Zhu Minchun wept with joy, and said again and again: "It's the Ming army! It's the Ming army! It's the Daming army! Quickly, quickly, open the city gate and let them in! Quickly open the city gate!!"

This time, no one objected, the city gate opened smoothly, Xiao Ruxun immediately ordered the army to regroup, and then slowly entered Qixian County.

After entering the city, Xiao Ruxun, Li Rusong and a group of senior military officers went up to the tower to meet Jin Wang Zhu Minchun.

"Xiao Ruxun pays homage to Your Highness!"

"The last general Li Rusong pays homage to His Highness!"

Xiao Ruxun and Li Rusong bowed to Zhu Minchun together, and Zhu Minchun hurriedly stepped forward to help him—hey, the two famous generals of Ming Dynasty are all here, this is really safe and couldn't be more safe.

Faced with such a famous general coming to rescue him, Zhu Minchun was overjoyed and hurried forward to help them up.

"The two generals came at the right time! It's the right time! Now that the northern captives are coming, there are only three thousand soldiers and horses in the city, and Qixian County is not very tall, so it is absolutely impossible to defend it. Between the six gods and no master, the two generals are here, it's really great! Great!"

Xiao Ruxun and Li Rusong looked at each other, and then said: "Dare to ask His Royal Highness Jin Wang, how did you know the future of the Beilu army?"

The guard of Qi County came up and replied: "A hour ago, a group of ragged horse troops came from Jiaocheng in the northwest, saying that the army of northern captives had raided Jiaocheng, and Jiaocheng had already fallen. Now a large number of northern captives are going to Qi County is here, the situation is very critical."

Xiao Ruxun nodded, and before he could speak, Zhu Minchun couldn't help asking: "General Xiao, what's the situation in the war now? Wang Shiyang left the king here and ignored him, and only sent [-] soldiers and horses." Protecting this king, and saying that there will be no northern captives coming, what is going on now?"

Xiao Ruxun decided to tell Zhu Minchun everything.

"Your Highness, Taiyuan has fallen and was attacked by the northern captives. Governor Wang Shiyang was in Xinzhou at the time. After hearing the news, he was in a panic and became sick with hematemesis. So I temporarily handed over the power of the governor to the deputy general, and the governor Wang is now on the sick bed."

"what?!"

Zhu Minchun's face was inexplicably surprised, and the county magistrate of Qi County and the general of Qi County behind him were also surprised.

"The purpose of the northern captives going south this time is strange, their whereabouts are strange, beyond common sense, and they will use tricks to hide the main force in the mountains, and fight against our army with the old, weak, sick and disabled. Let Governor Wang go north to pursue those old and weak, thus weakening Taiyuan's defenses, and then attacked and captured Taiyuan."

Zhu Minchun shook a few times, then immediately grabbed Xiao Ruxun's hand, and asked, "Is Taiyuan still in the hands of Beilu?"

Xiao Ruxun shook his head and said, "No, Taiyuan has already been taken back. The northern captives took Taiyuan for four hours and withdrew by themselves. When the last general arrived, there were no more northern captives in Taiyuan, but..."

"Just what?"

Zhu Minchun hurriedly asked.

"It's just that including the Prince Jin's mansion, all the government buildings, military facilities, warehouses, etc., were premeditated and burned by the northern captives. Almost all the officials were killed, and the wealthy households in the city were also wiped out. All of them were killed. The gold and silver treasures in the city were basically They were all plundered and taken away, and the northern captives completely premeditatedly attacked Taiyuan and then withdrew."

Zhu Minchun didn't hear what was behind him, only heard the previous sentence - his Prince Jin's mansion was burned.

The best palace in Ming Dynasty built by the ancestors for the Jin kings of all dynasties... was burned like this?
Wang Shiyang...you lied to me...you lied to me!

Zhu Minchun fell to the ground, and it took him a while to recover.

The guard of Qi County and the county magistrate of Qi County have been frightened dumbfounded.

"Your Highness, although Taiyuan has been recovered at this time, the appearance and whereabouts of this Beilu army are strange, which is really a concern for us. I don't know if the ones who came to Qi County this time are the main force. It can be proved that these northern captives have divided their forces to plunder in many places, and the target is unknown.

Being repelled this time, there is no guarantee that he will not make a comeback next time, and Mo will not be able to take care of His Highness. Therefore, in order to prevent the northern captives from causing harm to His Highness, only General Mo is the safest in Shanxi.

Therefore, the last general asked His Highness to make up his mind to follow the last general and be personally protected by the last general and Li Zongbing, so as to keep His Highness safe. "

Xiao Ruxun directly expressed his thoughts.
