A knife in love

Chapter 2357
Li Qiufeng and Qi Jiu heard what Xu Yingyang said, and they all thought that Guo Deng, as the general of Datong, had the responsibility of guarding the land and protecting the city. Due to the situation, he planned to use the rules set by Emperor Taizu to resolve the crisis. There is nothing wrong with that.But he only wanted to deal with Emperor Yingzong from the city of Datong. As for whether Xuanfu and other cities could be safe and sound like Datong, Guo Deng didn't care at all.As a border general, this person only thinks about the safety of the city he guards, which is too petty.He didn't even think about it carefully, if the Xuanfu and other passes were breached by Oala, could Datong be alone?

When everyone was thinking about it, Xu Yingyang continued to say: "The generals were overjoyed after hearing Guo Deng's idea, and they followed the plan. Sure enough, the vanguard soldiers of the Oala army traveled day and night, and rushed to the place two days later. Under the city of Datong. If it were the past, when the Oirat soldiers first arrived in Datong, they would never dare to get too close to the city, lest they be killed by the feather arrows shot from the city. But this time they came with Emperor Yingzong in their arms, with hostages in hand Knowing that the defenders of Datong did not dare to shoot arrows indiscriminately, they rode their horses straight to the bottom of the city and rushed to the moat.

"The vanguard commander of the Oirat army forced the Emperor Yingzong to go out and shouted to the city, asking the defenders to open the city gate and let the Oirat soldiers and horses enter the city. But only one general walked out of the tower, and he said to the Emperor Yingzong under the city, Datong General Soldier Guo Deng was seriously ill and was bedridden, unable to ascend the city, so the city gate was locked for a few days, and no one was allowed to open the city gate without the order of the general soldier.

"When the commander of the Oirat army saw that the officers and soldiers refused to open the city, he was furious and forced Emperor Yingzong to find a way to let the defenders open the city gate. Emperor Yingzong had no choice but to shout to the officers and soldiers on the city, I am the emperor of Ming Dynasty, If you disobey the imperial decree, it will be a serious crime of copying your family and exterminating your family. Open the city gate quickly and let the Oala soldiers and horses enter the city. I can spare your lives.

"The general in the city had already received Guo Deng's orders. After hearing what Emperor Yingzong said, he didn't panic. He stood on the city and said loudly to Emperor Yingzong that Emperor Taizu had already issued an imperial edict when he founded the country. , clearly stated that once the city gate is locked, no one is allowed to open the city gate. The city gate can only be opened when the city is opened the next day. Now that the city gate is closed, we must abide by the rules set by Emperor Taizu, Even if the emperor came here, he dared not open the city gate.

"Emperor Yingzong heard that the general carried Emperor Taizu out, and knew that it would be a great disobedience to force the defenders to open the city gate. He had no choice but to tell the commander of the Oirat army. He was so angry that he wished he could order to attack the city immediately. However, he is a veteran in the battlefield, and he knows that the walls of Datong are tall and strong. The army came here, just thinking about using Emperor Yingzong to earn money to open the city gate, and had no intention of attacking the city at all. Therefore, they did not carry any siege weapons such as ladders and return cannons. If they ordered to attack the city, they might not even be able to pass through the moat. He thought over and over again, thinking that it would be a big deal to wait overnight, and then let Emperor Yingzong order the defenders to open the city gate at dawn tomorrow. No matter how cunning the officers and soldiers in the city were, they would not dare to disobey Emperor Yingzong's will. Thinking of this, Wala The commander-in-chief of the army ordered the troops to retreat for [-] miles and set up a big camp, and only waited for the next day to dawn before trying to find a way to open the city gate.

"After Guo Deng and others made up their plan, they immediately sent envoys to the capital to report to the cabinet that the Oirat army was about to attack, and asked the cabinet chiefs to make up their minds. At the same time, they sent all the soldiers capable of fighting in the city to the city. Stand firm and absolutely not let the Tazi soldiers attack the top of the city. Guo Deng himself hid in the yamen of the general army, waiting for the movement of the Oirat army.

"Early the next morning, the Oirat army embraced the Emperor Yingzong and went to the city of Datong again. The Emperor Yingzong asked the defenders on the city to open the gate, but this time even the general did not show up, only a few soldiers with loud voices rushed towards the city. He shouted loudly, "Guo Zongbing is seriously ill, and all the officials in the city have gone to the Zongbing's office to wait for orders. Because Guo Zongbing is bedridden, unable to speak or write, and without his order, the gates of the city cannot be opened. Otherwise, it would be against the will of Emperor Taizu.

"The commander-in-chief of the Oirat Army saw this situation, and his heart became clear. He knew that Guo Deng deliberately led the generals to avoid seeing him, and wanted to consume the Oirat Army. At that time, the Oirat Army fought a big victory in Tumubao. How could the defenders of Datong be so foolish as to let go of this city? It’s just that the Oirats believed that the defenders of Datong would open the city and surrender when they saw Emperor Yingzong. , At this time, if you want to attack the city, you can't rush to the city wall. The commander of the Oirat Army has no choice but to take Emperor Yingzong back to the camp and wait for the opportunity."

Li Qiufeng listened to Xu Yingyang talking about the past, and thought to himself, Miss Wang just said something casually, but Xu Yingyang just said so much nonsense.Just tell her not to open the city gate after it is locked, why bother?
I only heard Xu Yingyang say in his mouth: "Five days have passed like this. On the morning of the sixth day, the commander of the Oirat army took Emperor Yingzong to the city of Datong again, and suddenly found that today is different from the past. I saw the flags on the city. The bright armor is bright, which is quite different from the past. Moreover, there are more than [-] generals in full armor standing under the archery tower, and the majestic and majestic one in the middle is Guo Deng, the general soldier of Datong.

"The coach of the Oirat Army saw Guo Deng finally appearing, and he was overjoyed. He immediately asked the Emperor Yingzong to give Guo Deng an order to open the city gate and let the Oirat Army enter the city. Unexpectedly, after the Emperor Yingzong finished speaking, Guo Deng stood at the top of the city. Zheng Se said, the late emperor Beishou suffered misfortune. The spirit of the Heaven and Earth Clan Society is the king of the country. Who are you, dare to pretend to be the late emperor, and want to deceive the official to open the city?!

"Emperor Yingzong and the coach of the Oirat Army were shocked when they heard what Guo Deng said. These two people are very smart people, and they know that even if Guo Deng has the courage, he will never dare to lie about the emperor's safety. Words. Knowing that things had changed, the commander of the Oirat Army hurriedly ordered his troops to retreat fifty miles, set up a camp, and sent scout horses to inquire about the news.

"Not long after the spies left, Grand Master Wala also sent envoys to the vanguard army camp. It turned out that after the civil war, the Ming court was in chaos for a while. But under the auspices of Queen Mother Sun and Lord Yu Qian, it has stabilized. Later, Tanma reported that Grand Master Wala also planned to use Emperor Yingzong to deceive the soldiers at the frontier to sacrifice the city, and led the troops to attack Beijing. Although the Empress Dowager Sun felt sorry for Emperor Yingzong, but for the sake of the foundation of her ancestors, she thought again and again, and agreed to Master Yu Qian's request. Please, set up King Yingzong as emperor, and respect Emperor Yingzong as Supreme Emperor, so as to thwart Wala's conspiracy. In this way, Ming has a new emperor, and it is impossible to use Emperor Yingzong to win the city of Datong. Moreover, Guo Deng, the general soldier of Datong He is brave and good at fighting, so he will definitely wait for the opportunity to go out of the city to snatch Emperor Yingzong. Therefore, we first sent envoys to recall the vanguard soldiers and horses, joined up with the Wala army, and then tried to go straight to the capital."
