golden scales

Zhu Cihong stepped forward to support Zhou Yuji, and asked with a smile, "Did you meet Huang Chengming?"

Zhou Yuji shook his head: "Maybe I missed it..."

"That's it." Zhu Cihong said: "On the battlefield, detours and getting lost are common things, it's not appropriate to be harsh, and it's better to think about it. I know that you are a loyal person, and you will never come late on purpose. If you I want to punish you, what do Xiao Donglou and Dan Ning say? Right, hehe. Let’s go, gather up the steps, and defend the holy driver.”

Only then did Zhou Yuji discover that the first battalion had been fighting all day, and the second and third battalions hadn't shown up yet!

The second battalion followed from Cangzhou and did not dare to get too close, otherwise Donglu would definitely not dare to enter his pocket.But the third battalion was ordered to collect Zhending, and Gaocheng was only less than [-] miles away from Zhending, so why didn't they respond in advance?

Zhu Cihong didn't believe that Dan Ning would not come on purpose, and he was unavoidably worried.For the sake of insurance, it is still necessary to let the first battalion of the guards take the time to rest and resettle the camp.No matter what happened to Dan Ning, we can only send scouts to contact them first, and the army must not move lightly, good-looking novel:.

For this reason, Zhu Cihong had to give up even the task of chasing down the rout of the eastern captives.Now the Eastern Palace system has not yet been consolidated, and many old-style generals have not been firmly tied to the Eastern Palace chariots.In the past ten years, all they have seen is the separatist rule of the feudal town, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not have different thoughts after they have a strong army in their hands.

Zhu Cihong somewhat regretted putting Hui Xian, Niu Chenghu, and Zuo Guangxian under Dan Ning's command.Leaving aside whether Tan Ning can suppress these veterans, just relying on the integrity of Niu Chenghu and Zuo Guangxian in the original historical script, this is a bit overconfident.

With this in mind.Zhu Cihong felt vigilant again: this suspicion must be caused by his exhaustion and the pressure of the battlefield.Not to mention that Niu Chenghu and Zuo Guangxian had no reason to defect right now, but even if they wanted to defect, they had to pass the three levels of training officer, staff officer, and military judge first. .

And the dark group of ten.

Something must have delayed it.

Zhu Cihong shouted: "Min Ziruo, send out scouts. See where the third battalion has gone." Min Ziruo responded.

Zhou Yuji rectified the cavalry and sent someone to send the remaining soldiers over to join them.He brought his personal guards, followed Zhu Cihong closely, and rushed to the watchtower where His Majesty the Emperor was stationed to watch the battle.

Although Zhu Cihong ordered the staff department to protect Chongzhen when he stepped forward to press the formation, the veterans in the staff department were unwilling, and the middle-aged staff members were unwilling, so they all rushed into the formation with Zhu Cihong and You Shiwei to stabilize their positions.Not to mention their combat effectiveness.Only such a group of generals carrying yellow and white star emblems on their shoulders went into battle in person, which really boosted the morale of the defeated army.

In the era of cold weapons, morale is what is fought.

Zhu Cihong led his troops back to the watchtower. This time he was actually wearing armor. He clenched his fists and punched his chest. He gave an Eastern Palace style military salute, and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor. Fortunately, my son did not disgrace his life and defeated the former enemy. I am here to ask for orders. "

Chongzhen had already got off the horse, and sat on the carriage with a pale face, gently stroking his chest, watching Zhu Cihong panting again and again, as if he had personally charged into battle just now.

Wang Chengen was not much better, he said in a trembling voice: "Qiantui, Long live Lord, I am tired, it hurts my body to come all the way."

Zhu Cihong nodded: "Father, let's go back to Gaocheng first, what do you think?"

"Quite..." Chongzhen was as angry as a silk, raised his arms, and turned his face away in shame.

Zhu Cihong was a little strange, standing so far away, even if he saw something disgusting, he wouldn't be so frightened. .He asked: "Father, are you feeling unwell? Do you want to send it to the doctor?"

"No need," Chongzhen said weakly, "It's much better after vomiting."

Zhu Cihong also happened to smell a strange smell, followed the smell, and there was indeed a puddle of vomit.At this time, I won't get motion sickness or horsesickness. I think I saw some cruel scenes on the battlefield, and I was unprepared and stimulated.

"Oh! Young master! The blood on your body..." Wang Chengen pointed at Zhu Cihong's armor, and shouted in a fuss, "Why are you still wearing it! Pass the doctor to Lord Qiantose to see!"

Given Zhu Cihong's position, it was really impossible to get injured and die. Anyone who could get into the range of the crown prince's hand crossbow was already an elite slave, unless the opponent had a sniper rifle with a range of more than 800 meters.

Hearing the words, Chongzhen hurriedly probed to check, and sure enough, he saw Zhu Cihong's left rib was red and black with blood, his eyes were dizzy, and he seemed to be quite dazed.

——Hmm, Father doesn't have blood sickness, does he?He didn't notice it when he stabbed Concubine Yuan before.

Zhu Cihong had heard that Chongzhen killed people with his own hands, seeing that his behavior was almost the same as Wen Qing's, he was puzzled.

It's just that he didn't know the situation at the time.

At that time, the city was broken, Chongzhen beheaded eunuchs in anger, and even killed his own wife and daughter. Those were completely impossible targets to fight back. It was the last madness of people in despair. Other book friends are reading:.Now he is watching the battle from a distance, and there is still more than half of the country behind him-although it is only in name, the recuperation these days has gradually healed the scars in his heart, and he has returned to his previous state.

Zhu Cihong looked down at the puddle of blood on the armor, said with a smile: "Father, if this is my son's blood, I'm afraid my son won't be able to stand."

Chongzhen waved his hand: "It's hard for you to charge in person." As he said that, Chongzhen only felt sore in the back of his nose, as if he was about to cry.He always thought that going to battle to kill the enemy was an easy task, but he never thought that when he was dictating in the palace, the soldiers below would throw their heads and blood, and go all out desperately.

Thinking about how he once accused the crown prince of only abandoning his defenses and falsely reporting his military exploits, he felt even more remorseful and guilty.If it wasn't for the face of the Nine-Five Supreme, he really wanted to hold his son in his arms, so as to comfort him, and whispered in his ear: I blamed you for my father...

Seeing the tragedy of the war with his own eyes, Chongzhen no longer felt that the insult he received before was due to the domineering East Palace, it was really because he was too a jerk.

For a moment, Chongzhen even wanted to follow the example of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, announcing on the spot that he would pass on the crown prince, and that he himself would be the Supreme Emperor...

It's just that this "moment" disappeared in an instant.

"Father," Zhu Cihong said with a smile, "Let's get up and drive now, we have to go back to Gaocheng County before dark."

Chongzhen nodded.

Zhu Cihong watched Chongzhen get into the carriage, thinking about how he abandoned the cart and rode the horse, traveling hundreds of miles a day, he had already reached his limit.It is commendable to be able to persist in watching the game until the end.It's just that as a mature soul, but has been treated as a child by such a young emperor, the role exchange inside is really tangled.

Fortunately, Zhu Cihong is a person whose rationality trumps sensibility, and he can adapt to this kind of relationship, but he can't be cute and obedient.Of course, in this era, cute and well-behaved children are likely to be photographed to death by their parents... because that often equates to mental retardation and ignorance, and only youth and maturity are virtues favored by mainstream society.

"After returning to Gaocheng, persuade the emperor to stay in the Jude mansion as soon as possible, the battle here is not over yet." Zhu Cihong pulled Wang Chengen over and ordered in a low voice.

Wang Chengen was taken aback, called "Ouch", and said, "It's not over yet! Chitose, you must take care of yourself."

"There will be a secretary to escort you back." Zhu Cihong's words reassured Wang Chengen a little.

"Then Your Highness..." Wang Chengen said again with tears in his eyes, "Take care of yourself!"

Zhu Cihong waved his hand and asked Zhou Yuji to lead the cavalry to escort the emperor's holy car out of the battlefield. At the same time, he ordered Min Zhanlian to choose a reserve officer with little damage in the battle to act as a temporary imperial guard and escort the emperor back to Jinande Palace.

After the emperor and his party walked away, Zhu Cihong returned to the battlefield under the protection of the guards. He didn't need others to accompany him on a tour, and he just walked around.Seeing that His Highness the Crown Prince was still on the battlefield, the soldiers were moved even though they were tired.But Min Ziruo was worried all the way, for fear that a desperate Donghu would jump out of the dead and offend the crown prince.

It wasn't until the crown prince entered the field hospital to close up the wounded tent that Min Zhanlian was relieved.

"Your Highness!" The chief physician of the field hospital greeted him: "Your Highness, this place is messy and bloody. Your Highness, please move."

"Are you afraid that I will hinder the treatment?" Zhu Cihong shook his head and said, "I won't move around. Oh, Ziruo, everyone should help, carry people and things, and listen to the doctor Qingshan's deployment."

"This..." The chief physician was still hesitating.

Min Ziruo has already left in response.
