Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 154 The Emperor Summons
As soon as the sky was getting brighter, there was a resounding sound of horns outside the Zijing Pass, accompanied by the sound of heavy horseshoes.

The location of Bauhinia Pass is extremely special. It is located between two towering mountains. The only way for the army to pass through is Bauhinia Pass.

He also tried to send a small group of cavalry to investigate the defense of Bauhinia Pass from different directions.

You know, although Zijingguan occupies a terrain, it is also surrounded by cities.

The north gate is the strongest, and it is also the only direction that can accommodate a large army.

The other city gates are relatively weak, but they are basically built on the hillside, with rugged surroundings, and can only accommodate small groups of troops at most.

Also try first, dispatching a small group of cavalry to attack from the weak city wall.

Even if there is only a small group of cavalry, as long as they can sneak into the city, it will have unexpected effects.

It turned out badly!
In just one night, his spies had searched all the roads leading to the Bauhinia Pass.

Without exception, whether it was the small roads in the mountains or the main roads that could pass through the cavalry, they were all tightly guarded by the Ming's army.

Yexian finally understood why the defenders at the first few passes were so desperate to defend.

They are buying time!
And I didn't notice it for a while, so I delayed it for so long.

So much so that they were able to fill in all the loopholes in Bauhinia Pass, making it a veritable fortified city like Juyongguan.

The matter has come to this point, it is impossible to take advantage of it. Facing such a tight defense arrangement, a strong attack is the only way.

However, fortunately, he still has a trump card that he has not played...

It was snowing again at night.

Fortunately, the snow was not heavy, and it stopped early in the morning.

The rising sun hangs in the sky as always, but it looks weak and can't bring people the slightest warmth.

As if overnight, the temperature dropped sharply, and a layer of solid ice had formed on the Juma River outside the Zijing Pass.

This is undoubtedly good news for Ye Xian.

Although the ice in the river is obviously not strong enough for a galloping horse to pass by, even if a little more people stand on it, it may collapse.

But it's certainly a good sign.

As long as the weather is colder and the ice in the river is thicker, it will save him a lot of trouble in attacking the city.

He also rode on a horse first, and on the hill about a hundred steps in front of him, hundreds of Oirat soldiers surrounded an Oirat nobleman and a young man in a dragon robe.

With the sound of the loud horn.

Under Ye Xian's signal, Xining brought a dozen cavalrymen to the gate of Zijing Pass.

Yes, I also transferred Xining here first.

In fact, during the four days when he was stopped by Daomaguan, he sent an order to Xining to take the siege equipment looted from the Ming army during the civil engineering battle to the In front of the army.

This cunning guy is still very useful against Mingren.

He also looked at the figure of Xining, who was shouting at the bottom of the Bauhinia Pass.

"I am Xining, the eunuch accompanying the emperor. The emperor's holy driver has arrived. Now I am calling you five miles outside the city to have an audience. The generals guarding the city should leave the city quickly."

After learning from Datong, Xining changed his strategy again.

He no longer expected the gate guards to open the door obediently and let them in, but to let them out.

On the high city wall, Tao Jin and Sun Xiang both looked solemn.

In front of the two of them, there were two gray-haired officials in their fifties, one civil and one military.

The person wearing the armor was Ning Yuan Bo Renli, wearing black armor and standing with his sword on his shoulders. Just standing like this, he had an aura of calmness and prestige.

The other person was Wang Wen, the censor of the right capital who had just returned from Liaodong day and night.

Tao Jin listened to the shouting below and asked.

"My lord, what should we do?"

Just yesterday, Tao Jin received an order from the court.

He dispatched Ning Yuan Bo Renli as the chief military officer, and Wang Wen, the censor of the right capital, as the Minister of Military Affairs. He led an army of [-] in the Beijing camp to resist the enemy outside the Zijing Pass.

Along with this order came Ren Li and his [-] cavalry troops.

Most of the Beijing camp was still infantry, and it took time to mobilize, so after Ren Li took orders, he first brought [-] vanguard troops to Zijing Pass.

Wang Wen, on the other hand, was on his way back to Beijing. After receiving the order, he did not stop day and night until he arrived last night.

As for Tao Jin and Sun Xiang, they acted as deputy commander-in-chief and military supervisor respectively, assisting Ren Li and Wang Wen to guard the Bauhinia Pass together.

But at this moment, Sun Tao and Sun Tao didn't feel dissatisfied with losing the command power in their hearts. On the contrary, they were full of excitement.

You know, they had already planned for the worst, if Zijing Pass was lost, the two of them would fight to the death.

But the imperial court's decree was undoubtedly telling them that the imperial court planned to place the decisive battle at Zijing Pass!

In this way, not only the two of them don't have to stick to it, but also have the opportunity to make contributions, so they are naturally very excited.

Facing Tao Jin's question, Ren Li held the sword in his hand, and said with his two gray eyebrows twisted together.

"Since the Supreme Emperor is here, I will go out of the city to see him. Of course, we need to beware of captives who take the opportunity to attack the city."

As he spoke, he glanced at Wang Wen who looked tired beside him.

According to the information he got, this time the civil servants originally intended to have Yu Qian, Minister of the Ministry of War, personally supervise military affairs.

But it was rejected by the emperor on the grounds that the capital was urgent and could not leave without permission.

At the same time, the emperor directly issued an edict to the cabinet without asking any courtiers' opinions, ordering Wang Wen, the censor of the right capital, to rush to Zijingguan to supervise military affairs.

As the commander-in-chief of the entire army, before the expedition, Ren Li naturally learned from Yu Qian and Chen Mao the entire border defense plan for this war.

Of course, it is also clearer what an important role this Wang Jianzhai, who came here in a hurry, played.

Seeing Ren Li looking at him, although Wang Wen couldn't hide his tiredness from the journey, he said solemnly.

"Since the Supreme Emperor has arrived, it is natural to come to see him, but now is the time of war, we must not leave without authorization, and we can just send the commander Liu Shen to see him."

When the imperial army goes out for an expedition, there will be one commander-in-chief, one deputy commander-in-chief on the left and right, and five to ten generals.

Liu Shen is one of the participating generals this time.

As an admiral and minister of military affairs, Wang Wen's status in the army is the same as that of Ren Li as the chief military officer.

So in this sentence, he also used a declarative sentence.

Ren Li pondered for a moment, then nodded, and the two reached an agreement.

Not long after, the gate of Zijingguan opened slowly, and a group of dozens of horses galloped out of the city and stopped in front of Xining.

The leader was tall, holding a long knife, and said indifferently.

"I am Liu Shen, the commander of the generals at Zijingguan. I have been ordered to meet the Supreme Emperor. Please guide me."

Xi Ning's face darkened, said.

"Presumptuous, you are a mere general, dare to say that you want to see the Supreme Emperor? Where are the commander-in-chief and the admirals? Hurry up and meet!"

Facing this stern official, Liu Shen said coldly without any fluctuation on his face.

"I am ordered by Chief Military Officer Ning Yuan Bo Renli and Admiral Youdu Yushi Wang Wen to meet the Supreme Emperor on behalf of the two lords. The two lords have important positions and it is inconvenient for them to meet, so the father-in-law will lead the way directly."

Xining looked at the officers and soldiers waiting in formation on the city wall, then looked at Liu Shen's unmoving and indifferent face, finally reined in his horse, turned around and left.

"Just come with us!"

　I would like to report to everyone, from last week to the present, in about a week, I have received more than 700 monthly tickets. Excluding the rewards that you have already added, other book friends have a total of more than [-] rewards , so four more chapters should be added.

　　But the author didn't save the manuscript, so he can only do his best, add a monthly ticket today, if the code comes out, he will add another reward, and try to make up the rest tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

　　Afterwards, those with one-time [-] rewards will be added directly, and those with less than [-] rewards will be included in the accumulation, and then counted at the beginning of the month, because some book friends have rewarded before, and it is too messy to calculate according to the rudder...

　　Thank you again for your support~~~
