Chapter 293 Entering Tongzhou
Zhao Xing brought his men to the foot of Tongzhou City. The gate of Tongzhou City was still tightly closed. Zhao Xing asked someone to pass a message from above and said that he had arrived.
As a result, the defenders on the city replied firmly: "Our Lord Xu Mansion ordered that no one should enter Tongzhou City when the enemy is unknown. I don't care who you are. Please retreat. If you get closer to the city, we will shoot the arrow."
Faced with such a tough answer, Zhao Xing was stunned at the time. He felt that his title as the commander of the Jinyiwei was also useless.
This is an offense to oneself, an offense to the Jinyiwei, an offense to the commander of the Jinyiwei. This temper must not be spoiled.
At that moment, Zhao Xing shouted at the city: "I will give you a quarter of an hour to let the scriptures be interpreted, and Fang Daren will open the city immediately, otherwise he will bear the consequences."
Facing the murderous Zhao Xing, the defender in the city was also a little scared. After apologizing, he quickly ran down the city to inform him. In less than a quarter of an hour, the defender appeared on the top of the city again and shouted at Zhao Xing with confidence again: "Listen to the people under the city, the commander of the Jinyiwei is only responsible for arresting and arresting bandits. Tongzhou is the location of the capital Taicang and a military center. You do not have the right to speak. Retreat quickly, otherwise you will shoot an arrow.
At that time, Zhao Xing straightened his anger and sneered, "I suspect now that the scriptures are explained, Fang Daren is afraid of the enemy and does not fight, and is sitting on the verge of falling into the trap. Now I go to the city to get people and open the door."
As a result, the defenders in the city not only refused to listen, but instead became alert.
At that time, Zhao Xing was furious: "Come and set up artillery to attack the city."
Zhao Xing's men, the powerful generals, moved when they heard the order. Two hundred chariots approached the moat and pointed large trolls at the head of Tongzhou city. Zhao Xing stood beside the moat and looked at Tongzhou city coldly: "Tell Jie Jingfang that if he doesn't open the city, I will fire artillery to attack the city. At that time, all the officers in Tongzhou will be afraid of the enemy and do not fight and sit idly by the crime of falling into a friendly army."
Faced with the tension in the city and under the city, Zhifeng couldn't help but remind Zhao Xing with concern: "Sir, it's not wise to fight with the same family. Besides, you can tolerate Pinggu, why can't you tolerate Tongzhou?"
Zhao Xing had no choice but to explain to this subordinate: "If Tongzhou does not allow it, we can leave. We will go to Zunhua to join the headquarters, but what should Lu Xiangsheng do behind him do? Where can they go?"
Zhifeng said disdainfully: "Lu Xiangsheng regards himself as Donglin, and the city is also a faction of Donglin Party. What does it have to do with each other? It's better if we die."
Zhao Xing shook his head: "They are both Donglin, but Lu Xiangsheng is an alien from Donglin. He is a true loyal minister, and he is not a capable minister who speaks loudly. He is a loyal minister and more importantly, a capable minister who works hard. We must save him, otherwise Lu Xiangsheng will undoubtedly die once we leave."
Yang Guodong, the general general of the city, was shocked when he saw Zhao Xingjun in the city. What made him even more frightened was that Zhao Xing was standing in his artillery array. He really didn't dare to attack the commander of the third-rank Jinyiwei, the commander of the Ming Dynasty, was a serious crime to destroy the nine clans.
So he stomped his feet in front of a group of nervous zodiacs: "Kaicheng."
The city gate of Tongzhou was opened, and the scriptures were explained, Fang Daren and Yang Guodong were welcomed in the city.
The governor Xie Jingchuan said coldly: "The important place in Tongzhou is located in the place of Taicang, please command the commander and commander to restrain his subordinates and do not cause any trouble."
The prefect Fang Daren gave Zhao Xing a regular gift and said he would pay homage to him.
General Yang Guodong gave Zhao Xing diligently and prepared to arrange a camp for Zhao Xing.
After meeting with several people, Zhao Xing said, "There is also the righteous bravery of the famous prefect Lu Xiangsheng outside the city. Please send someone to the governor Jie to bring them into the city."
After reaching this point, the Xie Jingfang could no longer refuse Lu Xiangsheng's entry, so he sent people to invite Lu Xiangsheng to the city to settle. This time, Tongzhou added another seven or eight thousand soldiers.
At the evening reception banquet, Zhao Xing, who was arrogant, was eventually neglected. Instead, Lu Xiangsheng and others reconciled the past and talked about the passion.
However, General Yang Guodong was extremely attentive to Zhao Xing. After all, according to the sidelines, both of them belonged to the general system.
Yang Guodong gave Zhao Xingman a glass of wine and asked: "Sir, you have made great achievements in defeating the sky. I wonder what arrangements you will make next?"
As soon as he heard this, Lu Xiangsheng and Fang Fang Daren stopped talking and raised his ear to listen carefully.
Zhao Xing said bluntly: "Hong Chengchou and I have occupied Zunhua and blocked Huang Taiji's retreat. A fierce battle will begin there. I still have to go back. Although I can't help defending the city, it is still necessary to tamper with Jiannu outside the city and relieve Hong Chengchou's pressure. So, I plan to rest here for a night, and replenish food and grass tomorrow and leave."
The interpretation of the classics and prescriptions was relieved, but Yang Guodong was a little worried.
Zhao Xing said to Yang Guodong: "Persevere persist, Huang Taiji is a rabbit's tail and cannot grow."
Yang Guodong asked worriedly: "Where did the commander come from here?"
Zhao Xing summarized with confidence: "I am in the capital, and cooperated with the battle of Mangui Jingluo at Yongdingmen, annihilated 10,000 Jiannu. Outside the capital, he also annihilated 10,000 of his troops, which has made Huang Taiji's few troops even more tense. Now, Master Sun is running outside, rectifying the troops from all over the country, Man Jingluo is also in the capital, rectifying the army of the king. The small Duke's Beijing camp has been completed. In addition, Zunhua has cut off Huang Taiji's retreat. Now Huang Taiji is surrounded by us.
In the Jingji area, the situation has reversed. In order to escape back to Liaodong, Huang Taiji must regain Zunhua. My purpose is to use the Zunhua battle to seize the city, consume Huang Taiji's troops again and attack his morale. Then, when his troops were exhausted and his morale was low, he fought with Master Man Jingluo Sun to annihilate Huang Taiji in the Jingji area. If this goal can be achieved, then the biggest problem that has troubled our Ming Dynasty will be completely solved."
Hearing this situation arrangement, the few people present were all excited. Lu Xiangsheng smiled at Zhao Xing with a rare smile: "It is really rare for Lord Zhao to take risks for the country. Lu admires him. Come on, please respect Lord Zhao with a cup."
Zhao Xing raised his glass: "Personal ambitions and ideas are different, but a patriotic heart for the country should be the same. Seeking common ground while reserving differences is the way to deal with things among parties."
"Well, seek common ground while reserving differences." Lu Xiangsheng pondered for a moment, then drank it in one sip: "This sentence is really insightful. For the sake of the revival of the Ming Dynasty, we should have the intention of seeking common ground while reserving differences."
However, Jie Jing Fang expressed his contempt: "The Tao is different, and it is not a matter of planning. Only those who are like-minded can revive the Ming Dynasty."
Zhao Xing glanced at him, smiled bitterly and shook his head, but did not argue. At this time, it was useless to debate with him.
