Blood from Daming

Chapter 297
Qu Jiazhen's men and horses were evacuating towards the northeast, while Feiying Qi came up with the horse's fast arrow, and the two sides quickly maintained a distance of about [-] steps. Qu Jiazhen commanded his men to speed up the pace of retreat, but secretly I beg Xue Yun to be merciful and not to kill them all.

But in this world, you come to whatever you are afraid of. After Qu Jiazhen's rear team had a stalemate with Feiying Qi for a while, some Feiying Qi suddenly started to shoot arrows, breaking the short-term balance between the two sides. Qu Jiazhen Many soldiers in the rear team were shot down by arrows, and then Hou Qu Zonghai also ordered his men to fight back, so Qu Jiazhen's troops and Feiyingqi began to shoot at each other endlessly.

Qu Jiazhen was very shocked by the report from the rear team. Only a few hundred Flying Eagle Banner knights attacked his family's army first, and the other Flying Eagle Banners joined the battle in a hurry after his eldest son Qu Zonghai started to fight back. , This made Qu Jiazhen feel a little shaken in thinking that Xue Yun ordered his subordinates or Feiyingqi to drive him out of Datong Mansion. Since childhood, some people in Feiyingqi wanted to die by themselves.

Qu Jiazhen understood the danger he was in now, and completely gave up on Xiao Xing, who would be safe if he quit Datong Mansion. He urged the wounded soldiers in front to speed up their march and move closer to the left guard of Xuan Mansion as soon as possible. Some order had just been restored. Qu's army became chaotic again, and everyone ran away one after another, which caused the subordinates of the rear team to rebound. Many people began to break away from the formation resisting the flying eagle flag, and everyone desperately chased the front team.

Qu Jiazhen watched the subordinates of the rear team escape from him, and Qu Jiazhen immediately ordered his own soldiers to stop him. Most of the fleeing subordinates still listened to the call and reluctantly stopped, but there were still more than a dozen soldiers who continued to escape , It wasn't until Qu Jiazhen's personal soldiers chopped down a few people that they stopped the desire of other soldiers to escape.

Qu Jiazhen had no choice but to bring his own soldiers to help the eldest son Qu Zonghai's rear team resist the attack of Feiyingqi. Fortunately, Qu Jiazhen's team has been retreating to the northeast, but Qu's army started to retreat, which lengthened the attack distance of Feiyingqi's shooters, and Feiyingqi did not dare to rush into Qu's army too quickly. The shooting range of Feiyingqi and Qu's army maintained a relatively stable confrontation.

Qu's army managed to escape to the place where Xuanfu Zuoying was stationed, and Qu Jiazhen immediately sent his men to Xuanfu Zuoying Weizhai Fort to ask for help. Unexpectedly, the officers and soldiers of Xuanfu Zuoying saw Feiyingqi and Qu's army in their camp After chasing nearby, the officers and soldiers of the Zuoying Guard of the Xuanfu unlocked the gate of the village instead, blocking Qu Jiazhen's rescue soldiers outside the fort and refusing to accept them.

Qu Jiazhen's subordinates saw the officers and soldiers of the Zuoying Guard of the Xuan Mansion close at hand. The last breath of courage in their hearts disappeared. The back team, which was still strictly disciplined just now, also joined the ranks of fleeing, and the whole team let go of the ducks and rushed around.

Qu Jiazhen looked at his proud sons and soldiers fleeing, and felt like crying for a while. At this time, the eldest son Qu Zonghai came to Qu Jiazhen with a hundred people, and he was at a loss when he saw his father. Seeing that the pursuers of the Flying Eagle Flag were getting closer, he immediately called his men to threaten his father, Qu Jiazhen, and fled towards Xuanhua City.

Qu Zonghai took his father, Qu Jiazhen, his cronies, and about 500 remnants gathered along the way, and fled all the way to Xuanhua City. Fortunately, Xuanhua City did not reject Qu Jiazhen and his defeated soldiers. After verifying Qu Jiazhen's identity, he allowed his family's army to enter Ximen Daxinmen Wengcheng for temporary shelter.

The rest of the soldiers were chased by the flying eagle flag, and they all fled from Guanglingmen in the north and Nanguan in the south. Wandering around the city wall, continuing to chase and chase away the stragglers of Qujiazhen's troops, and inadvertently trapping hundreds of civilians.

Xuanda Governor Wang Guozhen led a large number of Xuanda civil and military officials to board the Daxinmen Tower. After getting the consent of Xuanda Governor Wang Guozhen, Qu Jiazhen also boarded the Daxinmen Tower. Governor Wang Guozhen complained and pleaded for mercy, hoping that Governor Xuan Wang Guozhen would send troops to rescue his subordinates, and wipe out the scourge of Feiyingqi casually, and avenge the Ming Dynasty's officers and soldiers.

After listening to Qu Jiazhen's words, Wang Guozhen, Governor of Xuanda, did not make any statement, but stared straight at the brigade of flying eagle flags outside the city, and only after a while did he ask the general officer of the Xuanfu, hoping that he could bring When the soldiers went out of the city to fight, the chief officer of the Xuan Mansion and the generals of the entire Xuan Mansion were shirking each other, and they were not willing to open the city gates to fight at all.

Xuanda Governor Wang Guozhen also knows what his officers and soldiers are afraid of, but if he ignores this Flying Eagle Banner bandit army, then it will not be far from the time when the court dismisses him for investigation, but no matter how Xuanda Governor Wang Guozhen seals him The official made a wish, and the officers and soldiers of the Xuanfu knew that the soldiers of the Flying Eagle Banner were eccentric and refused to leave the city. Qu Jiazhen, who was on the side, was so sad. A big man couldn't help but feel sad on the city wall when he thought of his dead and injured subordinates. cried.

The Flying Eagle Flag showed off at the west gate of Xuanhua City for a long time before gathering the team to pack up the spoils, and then everyone, with one person, two horses or even three horses, turned around and retreated to the southwest, and was compressed by the Flying Eagle Flag. There was nothing wrong with it, and these ordinary people in the Xuan Mansion were given a real false alarm.

Seeing that the knights with the flying eagle flag had already retreated, the officers and soldiers of the Xuan Mansion took the initiative to go out of the city to pursue them, which made Governor Wang Guozhen at a loss. However, these Xuanfu officers and soldiers still have some military discipline. In addition to grabbing some weapons left by Qu Jiazhen's subordinates to claim credit, they also harassed the people of Xuanfu.

However, when the army of the Xuan Mansion chased them out of the sight of the Governor of Xuan, Wang Guozhen, and other officials, people from all walks of life in the Xuan Mansion began to riot, and they would start looting as soon as they encountered someone, regardless of whether he was a citizen of the Xue Mansion or the Qu family. Zhen's remnant soldiers, the soldiers who walked in front were lucky, and actually cut off the head of the dead body left by the flying eagle flag, which caused a lot of looting by the officers and soldiers later, and almost a large-scale fighting broke out.

With an idea, the soldiers of the head elves took aim at the civilians who were alone, and now the civilians along the way suffered disasters, and many of them who could not avoid the officers and soldiers immediately became headless ghosts, and then followed Seeing that the officers and soldiers killed good men and made meritorious deeds, the officers ordered their soldiers to suppress them. Only then did these officers and soldiers put away the evil thoughts in their hearts.

Even so, there were dozens of people in the Xuan Mansion who became ghosts under the sword of the officers and soldiers. Most of Qu Jiazhen’s scattered subordinates were killed by the officers and soldiers of the Xuan Mansion. The officers and soldiers of the government were cut clean, and Qu Jiazhen, who came out to rescue his subordinates, saw that the heads of the officials and soldiers of the Xuan government were almost all his subordinates. Qu Jiazhen was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood. Lost consciousness.

When the officials in Beijing learned that there was a big incident in the territory of Xuanda where the grassland rangers rode flying eagle flags to attack the imperial army, and they beat the new Datong General Soldier Qujiazhen to the ground, and fled back to Xuanhua City in panic all the way. The Flying Eagle Flag, which had been silent for nearly 30 years, reappeared in the rivers and lakes, and still surprised the court officials who knew about the Flying Eagle Flag, but most of them did not believe that the people who attacked Qujiazhen were the real Flying Eagles. Qi, everyone tacitly pointed the finger at the Xue residence...

Therefore, the officials of the imperial court wanted to fly to the Forbidden City, and they all kept impeaching Datong's side general Xue Yun. Almost [-]% of the officials clearly pointed out that Xue Yun was behind the attack on the new Datong general. Emperor Tianqi severely punished Datong Xue Yun, and would never allow local warlords to exist on the land of Daming.

Emperor Tianqi also looked helpless now, and immediately recruited the eunuch Wei Zhongxian, the supervisor of ceremonies, and the commander of Jinyiwei, Luo Sigong, into the imperial study room for secret discussions. Wei Zhongxian knew what Emperor Tianqi wanted to ask, but he didn't expect to meet in the imperial study room. When Luo Sigong heard that the emperor had formally summoned him in the imperial study, he felt that this was the first time that Pangu had met him.

Seeing that Wei Zhongxian and Luo Sigong had arrived, Emperor Tianqi pointed to the memorial on the imperial case and said, "I invite you two to come to the imperial study to discuss, just to find out whether the flying eagle flag horse bandit mentioned in this pile of documents is the deputy general of Datong. Xue Yun instructed his subordinates to impersonate them."

The eunuch Wei Zhongxian, the supervisor of ceremonies, did not answer the question of Emperor Tianqi. Now the commander of the Jinyiwei, Luo Sigong, knew that he was the only one who answered: "Qizou Emperor, according to the report of Jinyiwei's spies, the flying eagle flag found in the Xuanda defense area cannot be confirmed to be Datong. Lieutenant General Xue Yun's subordinates, but what is certain is that a large part of the knights of this Flying Eagle Banner are Mongols."

Emperor Tianqi asked: "Luo Aiqing, can you confirm that the Flying Eagle Flag was ordered by Xue Yun?"

Jin Yiwei Commander Luo Sigong replied: "Your Majesty, the biggest beneficiary of Feiyingqi's attack on Qu Jiazhen, the new general of Datong, is Datong's Deputy General Xue, but the move of Feiyingqi put Datong Xue Yun on the road to rebellion. The place where the minister is very puzzled."

Emperor Tianqi turned his head and asked Wei Zhongxian, "Big Companion, what do you think?"

The eunuch Wei Zhongxian, the supervisor of ceremonies, was silent for a while and replied: "Your Majesty, according to the secret report of Dongchang's spies, Xue Yun did go to the Mongolian desert a long time ago, and it is only recently that Qu Zongbing took up the post of Datong Zongbing. Ordinarily, it is impossible for Xue Yun to know that General Qu will go to Datong Mansion to take over his seat, even if the Qu Family Zhen Department attacked by Xue Yun Department of Datong, it may be Xue Yun's subordinates who did it on their own initiative."

After hearing Wei Zhongxian's words, Emperor Tianqi's expression improved a little: "Mate, can you be sure that Xue Yun's general did it?"

The eunuch Wei Zhongxian, the supervisor of ceremonies, replied: "Your Majesty, the servants and servants of Dongchang haven't noticed any changes from Xue Yun's generals."

Emperor Tianqi turned his eyes to Luo Sigong, the commander of the Jinyiwei in doubt, and Luo Sigong, the commander of the Jinyiwei, hurriedly bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, the Jinyiwei of the humble minister has been staring at Datong Town, and it is true that there is no movement of the army and horses in Datong City. Even the guards in the surrounding areas have not been mobilized, so the Flying Eagle Banner's troops should not be pretending to be Xue Yun's troops."
