It was even more outrageous that he was caught in the body. Could it be that Man Gui personally asked Ning Yuanjun to move the roadblock? All his confidants died? The more he thought about Zhou Shixiong, the more he felt that the play was a bit fake. It seemed that someone was going to do something to the other party Yuan Chonghuan. Zhou Shixiong had no good feelings for Yuan Chonghuan, and someone wanted to deal with him. The question is, if you choose to do something at this time, aren’t you really afraid that Jiannu would take over the city of Beijing?

Seeing that Zhou Shixiong had been silent, Tu Wenfu thought Zhou Shixiong did not want to go into the capital to get into muddy waters. "Mr. Marquis, long live to write a secret letter to the adults, please check it out." Tu Wenfu pulled out a letter from the crack of his sleeve and handed it to Zhou Shixiong. Zhou Shixiong waved his hand, and everyone took the initiative to disperse to avoid suspicion.

The content of the letter did not exceed Zhou Shixiong's imagination. The first sentence of Emperor Chongzhen wrote the word Zhou Shixiong, and Zi Qi opened it in person. Zhou Shixiong imagined Emperor Chongzhen's kindness and shivered all over his body. In the letter, Emperor Chongzhen described the capital as if it was done at any time, and all kinds of poisons such as internal and external troubles and natural disasters broke out. In a short time, the capital would be gone.

"The border troops do not want to serve the country if they enjoy their salary, and they do not want to serve the country if they are greedy for fat and cream. When they meet the barbarian civil officials, they all silently say that they leave the city and bow their heads. Only a few civil and military families in the court can use it. However, a clever wife cannot cook without rice, and all the ministers are helpless. Only Zi Qi can do what others cannot do. Please return to Beijing quickly to plan for me, and I hope it." After reading a section of Zhou Shixiong, he was a little embarrassed. This little fat man is too sensational. He said that I can do what others cannot do, but I am not a human being!

Zhou Shixiong put away the letter and turned to greet Hei Yunlong and You Shiwei, "The two generals, ordered the entire army to rest for a while and set off for Beijing after dinner." Zhou Shixiong believed that Jiannu would not leave so quickly. Even if they evacuated from the capital, they would wander around the capital area for a while. After all, these guys were here to rob, so how could they divide the number of people they didn't rob enough?

"Mr. Marquis, let's eat all the way, long live and wait." Tu Wenfu's words were annoying. Zhou Shixiong said with a smile, "Eunuch Tu, eating in the wind in the cold weather will cause stomachache. Don't you want to see these soldiers having diarrhea, right?"

Tu Wenfu is also a person with clear eyes and eyes. He just wanted to show his loyal attitude. Seeing that everyone around him looked bad, he quickly shook his head, "How could it be, I am not so unkind."

Zhou Shixiong asked You Shiwei to arrange several big cars. Since he was going to rush, the injured soldiers would have to find a vehicle to transport them. It was not that Zhou Shixiong was cruel, but he had too little power in his hands. Of course, he could not let go of one more veteran. Anyway, the robot had a lot of energy, so Zhou Shixiong was sure to use two days to cure them and could not bear much pain.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhou Shixiong led the Dianbiao camp and the guards to return to Beijing. The Jiannu Khan under the capital also received two messages. Huairou and Shunyi became empty cities, and the left-behind Yang Guli and Luo E brothers disappeared. This was the information sent by the unlucky man Manguertai. He was ordered to guard Tongzhou. According to convention, people would be sent to Shunyi and Huairou for routine contact. The news of losing the scout cavalry twice in a row, Manguertai sent Duodou to personally go there.

Duoduo is the banner owner of Zhengbai Banner. His subordinates were almost completely destroyed in Xianghe. He was in a bad mood. After all, it was normal for a sixteen-year-old boy to suffer such a big setback and it was a bit psychologically shady. Mangourtai wanted to send someone to check in the two cities, so he asked for this job to relax. At the same time, Duoduo was also thinking about transferring the Luo E brothers back. Without thousands of eight hundred spirits riding by his side, he felt insecure.

Duoduo came to Shunyi, where the city gate was wide open, and someone quietly captured Shunyi. A thousand cavalry under his command were gone! You should know that Shunyi and Tongzhou were only forty miles apart. This official road was built very straight and wide, and it took only half a day to reach the fast horse. The Luo E brothers were both brave and capable of leading elite soldiers in the flag, but they were taken away by someone and didn't even run out of a letter. How many people did the Ming army use to fall to the ground?

Duoduo did not dare to go to Huairou. He came out and only brought Bailai Kaiji to guard. If he met this Ming army, wouldn’t it be a delivery? In order to report the news and safety, Duoduo sent his men to Huairou to check and return to Tongzhou to report the situation. A day later, it was confirmed that Huairou also turned into an empty city. Manguertai wrote an urgent report very depressedly, giving the bad news to Huang Taiji.

Mangourtai had to be depressed. The last time he sent a letter to Huang Taiji was asking for help, and this time he reported that the two cities were missing by the destruction of the defenders. It was not good news. If such a thing happened a few more times, he would become a crow's mouth!

Huang Taiji has been happy these two days. The Ming army is worse than expected. Although it is a little better than the previous local army, this is the capital of the Ming Dynasty. If the elite guarding the capital is only at this level, they may be able to learn from Ida Khan and ask for annual tribute from the Ming Dynasty.

Huang Taiji was just dreaming, and the urgent report from the crow's mouth Mangguertai came. After reading the content, Huang Taiji's head suddenly swelled, and he fainted from his eyes. Jiergalang was shocked and quickly recruited a shaman to give Huang Taiji first aid. After a while, Huang Taiji woke up and pointed to the urgent report that fell to the ground, saying, "The way of retreat is unstable, retreat quickly."

Jiergalang picked up the emergency report and read it, comforted him, "Don't panic, if the Ming army attacked our retreat, there will definitely be news in Tongzhou. Even if they neglected before, they will step up investigations now, and wait." Huang Taiji, regardless of dizziness, wrote a handwritten warrant and asked someone to send it back to Tongzhou, ordering Manguertae to strengthen contact with Sanhe Zunhua and other places, and to ensure that the retreat is smooth.

In order to wait for news, the Later Jin Dynasty did not go out for battle for two consecutive days, which calmed the noisy Beijing city.

Zhou Shixiong marched overnight and returned to the capital the next afternoon with the horses passing by. This time he did not receive the treatment of opening the city gate. Emperor Chongzhen asked Zhou Shixiong's men to station at Desheng Gate. Of course, Zhou Shixiong had to enter the city to meet the emperor.

That night, I saw Emperor Chongzhen in Wuying Hall. Man Gui was helping with cloth belts in the hall and was scolding someone who was suspected of Zu Dashou. Zhou Shixiong was stunned when he came in. What was the singing? "Zhou Aiqing, come here, my best friend to Zhou Aiqing." Emperor Chongzhen was so happy to see Zhou Shixiong. The capital was besieged by Jiannu, and the civil and military officials in the court turned into clay sculptures and wood sculptures. There was no way. Zhou Shixiong led thousands of soldiers out of the city and successively defeated the two cities of Huairou Shunyi. Although due to the strength of the troops, victory was victory, and no one dared to erase it.

Nearly a thousand people were sent back in the two battles, and more than three thousand were captured. Emperor Chongzhen went to Taimiao once a day. Compared with the current situation in the capital, Emperor Chongzhen would rather live in Taimiao than go out than listen to the battle reports of defeats in the war every day.

Zhou Shixiong bowed to Emperor Chongzhen, sat down without hesitation, pointed at Man Gui and another general and asked, "Emperor, what's wrong with these two?" When Man Gui saw Zhou Shixiong, he saw a cat, and his momentum of cursing the street was instantly restrained. Seeing Zhou Shixiong looking over and saluted respectfully. There were many acquaintances in the hall, including Sun Chengzong and other important officials from the temporary command center, and there were two who didn't know each other. One of them was Yuan Chonghuan, which Wang Zhixin mentioned, and the other Zhou Shixiong had never seen.

"Manqing's family sued Zuqing, saying that he ordered his subordinates to murder the imperial officials." Emperor Chongzhen was not a fool, he did not believe that Zu Dashou was a fool. He shot Mangui with a bow and arrow engraved with the Ningyuan army logo in broad daylight. In the end, Mangui came back alive to complain, and even a fool would not do such a thing.

"Is this Zu, who is known as the No. 1 Iron Cavalry of the Ming Dynasty?" Zhou Shixiong had an impression of Zu Dashou. Among the Ming generals who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, this product ranked very high. It was only a little worse than Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui.

"I dare not be a subordinate. Lord Zhou has a great reputation for his achievements. If the subordinates are not as good as possible." Zu Dashou was very polite and flattered as soon as he opened his mouth. If the Black Cloud Dragon was there, Zhou Shixiong would tell him that this is the open and upright version of the classic flattery.

"Emperor, is there anything I need to do when I ask me to come back?" Zhou Shixiong nodded to Zu Dashou with a smile, turned around and asked Emperor Chongzhen.

"Sun Aiqing recommends you to me, saying that you are the only one among the generals of the Ming army who can solve the problems at the moment. I will summon you back to help me drive away those Jiannu." Zhou Shixiong may be the spiritual pillar of Emperor Chongzhen. When he saw him, Emperor Chongzhen became much better and he became more relaxed.

"Sun Master, we are all acquaintances, how can you harm me like this?" Strictly speaking, Sun Chengzong is Zhou Shixiong's master, but Sun Chuanting did not formally introduce the two. Sun Chengzong and Zhou Shixiong both intentionally avoid contact with each other to avoid embarrassment. Today, Zhou Shixiong could not bear it anymore and thought, even if I am not your formally recognized disciple, don't harm others like this!

"The ability of Zhennan Hou is obvious to all. If you don't believe me, please ask Lord Yuan and Lord Mei to see if they agree with my recommendation." Sun Chengzong pointed to the short and the civil servant, and they bowed to Zhou Shixiong at the same time. "This official Yuan Chonghuan and Mei Zhihuan have met Zhennan Hou."

"You two, please be polite. It turns out that this is the sharpshooter who retreated to the enemy with two arrows. I have been esteemed for a long time." Zhou Shixiong returned the gift to the two and gave Mei Zhihuan a thumbs up. As for where Yuan Chonghuan was so cool, he was not in the mood to pay attention to him.

"Oh, it would be great if I really had such archery skills. Unfortunately, I failed to save Lord Zhang and General Yang." Mei Zhihuan was quite angry and felt guilty towards her dead colleagues. It seemed that she could really take on this responsibility!

"Since Lord Mei has this idea, there will be revenge in the future." Zhou Shixiong was a little uncomfortable with communicating with people who felt good about themselves, so he quickly interrupted the chat.

"Zhou Aiqing, Sun Aiqing wants to coordinate the overall situation and command the combat power is not enough. This is the job you will leave." Emperor Chongzhen struck while the iron was hot. He knew Zhou Shixiong's character, but his roots were soft. Just say more good things. "Great companion, announce the edict." Wang Chengen took out the imperial edict that had been written long ago and read it loudly. Zhou Shixiong stood up to show respect. The others knelt down and received the edict, which was much more polite than him.

Zhou Shixiong made another special merit, and of course he had many rewards. Zhennan Hou was not originally hereditary, but now he has added the follow-up of hereditary third generation, and this title can be passed on for three generations. In addition, he was given a dotted line Prince Shaobao and Wu Jingli, to assist Sun Chengzong in commanding all the troops inside and outside the city.
