Zhang Siyi is like a broken bamboo

Two days later, Anlong Palace.

Gong Guogong Bai Wenxuan led 30,000 elite troops to Anlong from Guiyang and directly controlled the whole city. Seeing that the situation was no longer allowed, Ma Jixiang packed up his wealth at home and was about to escape from the city, but was stopped by the soldiers sent by Bai Wenxuan and sent directly into the palace.

Only Gong Guogong Bai Wenxuan was selected in the main hall, but he was not big in the palace. He could hear the crying sounds of both worlds and big inside and outside. In the palace, everyone said that he would move your Guiyang. The emperor's life was immediately unstoppable, and everyone could not take care of himself. He felt that the future was bleak and there was no hope for his life, so he could not suppress his crying.

"Ma Jixiang, the lord of the king, is it clear that the emperor is guarding the emperor to go to Guiyang?" Bai Wenxuan stood in the hall, and he was arrogant without anger and asked sternly.

Ma Jixiang didn't know why, but when he came, he made up his mind. If Bai Wenxuan suspected him, he would bite him to death. Anyway, Wu Zhenyu and others were dead, and no one in and outside the court knew about his cooperation with the Allied forces. He said submissively: "With the order of the king, the subordinates will not obey, and they have ordered people to prepare."

Bai Wenxuan shouted: "Prepare it! Do you think this is called preparation?"

As he said that, Bai Wenxuan threw a memorial on Ma Jixiang's face. It was Ma Jixiang's memorial about the erection of the English. Ma Jixiang looked at it and found that it was not a big mistake. He didn't know why Bai Wenxuan was angry and asked, "But... has it been too long?"

Bai Wenxuan shouted: "The emperor is here and the royal family is majestic. You have only prepared two hundred mules and horses and five hundred civilians! The imperial family and the central court, can you move your way with just a few dozen broken cars?"

Ma Jixiang wiped the sweat from his face: "Duke forgive me, please go and prepare again. Please tell me clearly that I don't know how much foot strength to prepare?"

Bai Wenxuan said: "The royal utensils, plus the families of officials, need to go to Guiyang together. Mules and horses need 2,000 and 200 large carts. The more civilians, the better. If it is insufficient, the soldiers can do it for them."

"Two thousand horses and mules!" Ma Jixiang screamed. Anlong Mansion was named Xingzai, but in fact it was just a small place. Even a county in the mainland province was worse than a county. Not to mention two thousand animals, he could not even find two thousand strong men.

"Dude, Anlong is remote, and it is not easy to collect mules, horses and men..." Ma Jixiang said with a tough bullet.

Bai Wenxuan said: "That's your business. If you can't do it, come and see you. Without two thousand horses and mules, it's hard to move the lord. Go and handle it!"

Ma Jixiang ran out of the palace and entered the sedan chair while sweating. The more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. According to what Bai Wenxuan said, if he couldn't get enough strength to get his feet, he would not leave. Couldn't he delay the King of Jin coming to rescue him?

"Duke Gong and King Jin..." Ma Jixiang didn't dare to think too much, but felt that the big thing could still be done, so he went to collect all his energy. Anyway, he knew that no matter how much he collected it, he couldn't get it all.

Five days later, Guiyang sent an envoy to urge him. Bai Wenxuan summoned Ma Jixiang again and explained to Sun Kewang's envoy that Ma Jixiang sniffled and cried, telling the difficulty of collecting animals and Ding Zhuang's incomplete collection of food, and finally came up with an idea. It would be better to take some officials away first to relieve the pressure.

Sun Kewang sent a hundred household Ye Yingzhen, who said: "Duke, how can the subordinate officials go back and report to the king?"

Bai Wenxuan smiled and said, "Ye Baihu is about to summon you. I will give you another 300 elite soldiers. To raise livestock with Lord Ma, we will surely speed up."

"Yes, yes, An Long is a bit powerful and powerful. It is difficult for us civil servants to come forward, but he is afraid of the Qin soldiers. If Ye Baihu comes forward, he will definitely get together." Ma Jixiang also agreed on the side. He now feels that Bai Wenxuan is in the same group as him, but he is not publicly released.

Ye Yingzhen clapped his hands and sent someone in from outside. Ye Yingzhen said, "I have to obey the order when the Duke of the Kingdom said this. In addition, this is the person captured by General Liu in the Bantun River area. He said that he was an envoy sent by the Lord of the Kingdom, but we have never seen him before. Please ask the Duke of the Kingdom to identify him."

"I am the general of the propaganda general Yang Xiang, who was ordered by the lord to send food and grass to the prefectures, and there were dragon plaques as evidence." Yang Xiang said.

Ma Jixiang recognized this person as a member of the Jin Palace at a glance. He didn't dare to speak, so he looked at Bai Wenxuan. Bai Wenxuan said, "Yes, I remembered that General Yang Shen was originally under General Dingbei, and I was still familiar with him."

The General Dingbei mentioned by Bai Wenxuan is Ai Nengqi, one of the four dead generals. This is an explanation without evidence.

Ye Yingzhen was not very suspicious and released the person directly. Yang Xiang said: "The princess, who has reported that along the way, the civil servants of the southwest prefectures have made many moves to delay food and grass, especially gentry in various places. In order to raise military funds, the generals wanted to enter the palace to request an order."

"Ye Baihu, what do you think?" Bai Wenxuan asked.

"There is no small one who can argue with me. Please give me the orders." Ye Yingzhen smiled. This was also a routine operation. For those gentry, the emperor's imperial edict was as effective as the Qin vassal's knife.

Bai Wenxuan said: "Ma Jixiang, come with General Yang, don't hit the emperor."

Ye Yingzhen saw that Bai Wenxuan was arranged like this, and there was no doubt about it. Yang Xiang and Ma Jixiang entered the palace together. When he thought about how to get rid of Ma Jixiang's Sun Kewang's sight, Ma Jixiang retreated and asked, "It was the King of Jin who sent the general to him."

"I was sent by the King of Qin." Yang Xiang pretended to be angry and said.

Ma Jixiang smiled and said, "No matter whether the King of Qin or King of Jin is sent, the general doesn't want me to enter the palace with you."

As he said that, Ma Jixiang dismounted: "General, I will go in half an hour and have some drinks with Pang Tianshou first."

Yang Xiang couldn't believe that Ma Jixiang was his own, but the opportunity was rare. He hurried into the palace and saw a crying sound in the palace. When the eunuchs and palace maids saw Yang Xiang entering, they all fled. Yang Xiang grabbed one person and asked, they found out that the palace knew that Ye Yingzhen came to Anlong, thinking that he was going to kill the monarch, and the emperor was ready to die.

Yang Xiang entered the palace, but saw Yongli wearing sloppy clothes and holding the empress Tian and several princes together, and cried bitterly. A group of people sat on the ground without any majesty. Yang Xiang ran over and said in a low voice: "The last general is the envoy of the King of Jin."

Yongli stopped crying immediately, and grabbed Yang Xiang with tears in his eyes. Yang Xiang was afraid and dared not do so. He retreated for a moment. Yongli actually hugged Yang Xiang's thighs and asked with hopeful face: "Seriously? He is really the envoy of the King of Jin!"

Seeing that there were no one around, Yang Xiang took out a secret passage from the armor and handed over it, and wrote to him: Now the vassal ministers have set up the country to lead the troops to rescue the troops. If you arrive soon, you will send an envoy to report to the peace. The emperor must not listen to the words of the treacherous and slanderous people, and delay the transfer of your affairs.

Yongli looked at the seal of the "Pinghan's Minister" who had made the secret imperial edict on it, and he believed it.

Tianzhou, Guangxi.

Li Mingxun and Li Dingguo led a large army of more than 14,000 people from Nanning to the Youjiang River. They walked all the way from the valleys and were extremely difficult to march. Most of the 32,000 Allied troops originally came out of Zhaoqing had fallen, especially the pure-blooded and mixed-blooded tall horses of the army cavalry units, which were completely unable to move on the rugged terrain, and all remained in Nanning. The cavalry and baggage troops armed with Dian horses from the Qiongfan and Jinfan were briskly walking on the valley path.

Today, among the Allied forces, there are more than 2,000 cavalry of the Qiongfan, more than 8,000 infantry and cavalry of the Jinfan, and a newly formed mountain combat brigade and mixed artillery battalion. Although the Qiongfan sent the least troops, the most powerful force was. The Allied forces set out from Zhaoqing and traveled all the way to Zhaoqing, Wuzhou, Xunzhou and Nanning, all the four prefectures of the Qiongfan. In order to support this army, the Qiongfan organized 60,000 civilians, more than 10,000 mules, horses and livestock, and more than 200 river ships. If it were not for their help, the Allied forces would not have received a notice from Ma Jixiang. They arrived in Tianzhou on the 14th.

Liu Zhenguo and Guan Youcai, the governor of Tianzhou, were both former subordinates of Sun Kewang, claiming to be 40,000 troops, but in fact there were less than 20,000 people. The scouts sent by Liu Zhenguo found the King-Supreme Allied Army in Nanning Mansion. However, they saw that the army was full of soap flags, and they didn’t know which part of the army it was. Guan Youcai met the Jinfan cavalry in the area of ​​Zhaisang. The Jinfan cavalry first defeated Guan Youcai's unit with absolute advantage, and then shot his infantry with horses. Guan Youcai formed a formation to resist. Li Dingguo asked the army for help. The army borrowed the flintlock rifle to the Jinfan cavalry. The Jinfan cavalry first shot, waited for physical energy to be exhausted, and then shot with flintlock rifle. With the firepower pouring out, Guan Youcai's infantry formation could not resist. Liu Zhenguo led the main force to help, and was ambushed by Qiongfan halfway and was defeated and returned.

The cavalry of Jin vassals pursued along the road, neither shooting arrows nor shooting. When they met the soldiers of Qin vassals, they shouted: "The King of Jin in the Western Palace is here, and the King of Jin in the Western Palace is here!"

Liu Zhenguo and Guan Youcai broke through the encirclement and fled, and then they stood up and saw the banner of King Jin standing on the Youjiang River by the mountains and forests. They came from the east and knelt down on the riverside to greet each other. In one day, thousands of people were gathered. Li Mingxun followed Li Dingguo, wearing Ming army uniforms, and did not indicate his identity. Li Dingguo ordered the Qin army officers and veterans to gather together and said loudly: "Don't panic, you are the King of Jin Li Dingguo, the brothers of King Qin. A traitor in Guiyang City in the past provoked me. The King of Qin was deceived and sent you to come, but we both have already resolved our past grudges. Please don't disturb me, please enter the camp and send the army to express our condolences."

Seeing Li Dingguo saying this, they were sure that they had entered the camp and after eating and using it, they collected soldiers and invited tens of thousands of people in two days. The two armies met, just like father and son. Li Dingguo received 30,000 taels of silver to reward him. The whole army called King Jin Qiansui. However, secretly, Dingguo sent distrustful officers to Nanning to supervise food and raise funds, and as soon as he arrived in Nanning, he was controlled.

Seeing that Li Dingguo had solved the blockade of 20,000 troops in just a few words, Li Mingxun secretly thanked that he planned the overall situation in the southwest that day and never chose the wrong person. The two kings of Jin were famous and the former generals of the Western Palace were indeed extraordinary. His old subordinates were as high as clouds and prestige as mountains, and they defeated others without fighting.

When the Allied troops arrived at Tianzhou City, the two generals sent by Sun Kewang had already left, and there were still more than 2,000 left in the city. They waited for the King of Jin to come and protected the grain warehouse of the city, and did not burn it by Liu Zhenguo. They obtained the grain from Tianzhou. The Allied troops had no more backs and sent troops to Anlong Mansion. It was only a hundred miles away from Anlong. More than ten cavalrymen rushed from Anlong, raised the King of Jin's flag and entered the camp directly.

In the big tent, the general pretending to be the Qianzong kneeled in front of Li Dingguo and said, "The last general Bai Wenxuan will be selected and hello to the King of Jin."

Li Mingxun sat aside in the costume of Ming generals, watching the show. Bai Wenxuan was also extraordinary. She could be called a low-end version of Li Dingguo. Although she had all kinds of shortcomings, she was just like Li Dingguo who was considering the overall situation. Bai Wenxuan was a former general who was trustworthy, but she did not support Sun Kewang to act against the situation. In history, if it weren't for him, Li Dingguo would not have replaced Sun Kewang.

During this period, Li Dingguo contacted the Qin generals, but Bai Wenxuan clearly supported Li Dingguo's plan to protect the king. The other generals had unclear attitudes, and there were some generals. Li Dingguo was worried that the news would be leaked and did not contact him.

"Wenxuan, please get up quickly!" Dingguo took action and helped Bai Wenxuan up.

Bai Wenxuan looked at Li Mingxun and felt that this man was tall, fair-faced, and extremely extraordinary. If he was a general of Jin vassal state, he would have to know it, but if he looked closely, he could not remember it. Bai Wenxuan suddenly bowed and said, "I dare to ask if it is the Head of China?"

Li Mingxun smiled slightly: "That's right, Duke Bai should not be too polite."

Bai Wenxuan said bitterly: "My Duke was granted by Sun Kewang to win me over and get rid of the emperor. It is not what the emperor wants, and it cannot be counted."

Lee Mingxun smiled and said, "I thought I could do it."

"By using the loyalty and righteousness of literature, only a minority of the Duke of the State will naturally be the one who is the one who is selected." Li Dingguo said.

Bai Wenxuan knew that his Duke was saved, but he didn't care: "The Head of State, King Jin, don't know how to continue to work for the king?"

"How about Anlong?" Li Dingguo asked.

"The emperor was in panic all day long and could not sleep. He always thought his life was coming soon. Ye Yingzhen heard that Tianzhou was defeated and wanted to enter the palace to intercept the horse. He was blocked by me. The palace was controlled by me, but there were still treacherous officials like Ma Jixiang and Pang Tianshou in the city." Bai Wenxuan said.

Li Ding Guodao: "It's not bad. If you have selected articles, the matter of serving the king has become most of the time."

Bai Wenxuan said: "Just wait for the King of Jin to give orders, and with the King of Jin, I ordered the army to protect the emperor from the city and join the army."

Li Dingguo asked: "Wenxuan, I wonder if you are willing to continue to lurk among the Qin vassal states?"

Bai Wenxuan's face changed slightly. He knew very well that King Jin not only wanted to save the lord, but also dealt with Sun Kewang, but he was a chess piece placed in the Qin vassal state: "What the King of Jin wants, Wenxuan dared not to obey!"

Li Ding Guodao: "Good man, good brother!"

The three of them discussed for a moment, and Bai Wenxuan led his troops back to Anlong. On the night of the next day, in heavy fog, dozens of cavalry suddenly appeared outside Anlong City, shouting: "The King of Jin in Xifu has arrived."

When the fog dissipated, the mountains and forests outside the city were full of Jin's flags. Bai Wenxuan led a total of 40,000 troops to go out of the city to fight, but there was a chaos in the city. Ma Jixiang deceived Ye Yingzhen and Pang Tianshou, saying that Bai Wenxuan asked him to take the emperor hostage to Guyang first. The three of them led more than a hundred elite soldiers into the palace. Seeing Ma Jixiang coming, Yongli rolled and crawled into the dragon throne, Ma Jixiang reached out and grabbed the emperor and said

The offender ordered people to take up Yongli, hold dozens of female princes, etc., and regardless of the ministers and the eunuchs in the court, they went out of the north gate and rushed into the mountains and forests. When the guards saw the three of them together, they had a Qin commander. They thought they were ordered by Bai Wenxuan to take the emperor to Guiyang, so they let him go. They entered the mountains and forests and met a hidden person. Ye Yingzhen and Pang Tianshou were either sniped by hunters or died under the sword of Ma Jixiang's confidant.

Yongli saw the corpses on the ground, and his legs were trembling, but he didn't know what was going on. Seeing Ma Jixiang pulling out a knife from Ye Yingzhen, he asked, "Ma Jixiang, what's wrong with you?"

Ma Jixiang smiled and said, "Don't panic, my husband is not a traitor who can be regarded as a traitor. This time, he is ordered to save the emperor."

"Save the Lord? Be ordered? Whose order?" the emperor asked in a trembling voice.

Ma Jixiang bowed to one direction: "Of course it was His Highness's order."
