A mighty and majestic Ming army, they had no chance to rest and did not breathe, were rumbling out of the Jizhou city gate. Zhifeng rode his horse and rushed to Zhao Xing. He did not dismount. He wiped the sweat from his face directly on the horse and reported to these reports: "Sir, we have robbed and killed three Jiannu again at night."

Now, Zhifeng and his six hundred brothers were released by Zhao Xing, and they specifically robbed and killed Jiannu and refused to take him away at night along the army.

According to Zhao Xing's words, "Cover the battlefield. Hide your actions and give the enemy a surprise."

Facing Zhifeng's report, Zhao Xing asked coldly: "How many nights have we killed? How many brothers have we lost?"

Zhifeng loudly reported: "The sixteen robberies and kills, and we lost fifteen brothers."

Zhao Xing frowned: "For my most powerful Tik Cavalry in the world, I will surprise you and fight less, and I will still suffer such losses. Jiannu is indeed extremely powerful."

Despite his sighs, he still ordered without hesitation: "Continue to rob and kill, and we must strictly block the news of our arrival in Jizhou."

Zhifeng shouted and ran away. Mao Shouyi reminded: "Sir, the enemy is the elite of Jiannu's elites if they don't collect them at night. According to our experience in fighting in Liaodong, if they don't return to the team for two days, there will be an enemy situation. So, please ask the adults to rectify them as soon as possible, otherwise, the enemy will notice it at the latest tomorrow sunset."

Mao Shouyi is Mao Wenlong's grandson, a warrior crawling out of the bloody fire in Liaodong. Zhao Xing accepted his suggestion without hesitation: "Okay, order the Tiqi brothers of Zhifeng, as long as they can persevere until dark tomorrow, his brothers will complete the great achievements and then return to the team to rest."

Mao Shouyi said the order and then ran away directly by horse.

After entering the city, he headed straight to the Ji Liao Governor's Mansion. Sun Chengzong was busy. He heard the voice of Zhao Xingguan and looked up: "Have your army entered the city?"

Zhao Xing nodded, "He was walking through the city." He picked up the teapot in front of Sun Chengzong, drank a mouth-to-mouth, and then put the teapot down.

Sun Chengzong ordered without raising his head: "Drop out. My things cannot be contaminated by the butcher."

Zhao Xing picked it up and handed it directly to Sun Chengzong's old servant: "Another pot." Then he said to Sun Chengzong: "Are the turbulent bombs and throwing carts I need ready?"

Sun Chengzong finally stood up straight and faced Zhao Xing: "You really want to burn Zunhua in one fell swoop?"

"There are only beasts there, no one, so what if I burn him? What I want is the four walls, and I will bring the others to my own."

Sun Chengzong looked at Zhao Xing for a long time, and finally sighed weakly: "As soon as he entered the Jinyiwei, the Bodhisattva will also become a demon." Then he waved his hand: "The things are ready for you, when will you set off?"

Zhao Xing immediately stood up: "My follower of the military and civilians, rested for three hours, and then set off and headed straight for Zunhua."

Sun Chengzong asked in surprise: "Just three hours? Is your team OK?"

Zhao Xing smiled proudly: "There are no other soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, but my soldiers are in progress."

Sun Chengzong left the matter directly: "Let's go, take me to see your soldiers." Sun Chengzong was going to parade.

Zhao Xing stretched out his hand with confidence: "No."

The reason why Zhao Xing blocked him was that according to the rules of this era, only his immediate superiors could inspect his subordinates. If Zhao Xing allowed Sun Chengzong to parade, it would be equivalent to him recognizing Sun Chengzong's jurisdiction, which was absolutely unfavorable to Zhao Xing.

Zhao Xing must not hand over his ten thousand soldiers to others, thus losing his independent decision-making power.

Sun Chengzong stared at Zhao Xing's eyes.

Zhao Xing met calmly.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and finally Sun Chengzong withdrew his gaze, walked back to his position, and began to continue to pack up what he saw: "You'd better give up restoring Zunhua and follow me."

Zhao Xing asked: "Why?"

Sun Chengzong sighed helplessly: "I have received the emperor's imperial edict, asking me to pursue Zu Dashou and He Kegang's Guanning, and then move the town to close the door."

Yuan Chonghuan was imprisoned. Guanning general Zu Dashou was hit by his own army with cannon stones while fighting against the Qing army outside the city. Zu Dashou was suspicious at the time, fearing that Yuan Chonghuan and others would be implicated. After discussing with deputy general He Kegang, he led 5,000 people to collapse eastward.

After Sun Chengzong learned about it, he hurriedly sent Jia Dengke to comfort Zu Dashou with his letters, and sent Shizhuguo to comfort other soldiers. Zu Dashou was unmoved. However, Sun Chengzong also believed that Yuan Chonghuan was guilty, but he still wrote to Zhu Youjian to protect Zu Dashou, saying that Zu Dashou would not really rebel. Sun Chengzong also sent someone to ask Zu Dashou to submit a memorial to explain why he fled eastward. Zu Dashou so wrote a letter to Emperor Zhu Youjian, who was very happy and did not blame Zu Dashou. Most of the soldiers in Liaodong were Ma Shilong, and Zhu Youjian ordered Sun Chengzong to move the town to close the gate. Zu Dashou and other Liaodong generals were dispatched by Sun Chengzong. The fleeing generals returned with peace of mind when they heard that Sun Chengzong and Ma Shilong arrived.

"The court is ready to give up this Jizhou. At that time, if you lose the support of Jizhou, you will attack Zunhua again and be attacked by both sides, and your troops will be defeated."

When Sun Chengzong was urgently activated by Chongzhen again, his favorite general Ma Shilong suggested that Sun Chengzong recover Zunhua first, but Sun Chengzong believed that Zunhua was in the north, and it was easy to capture but difficult to defend, so it would be better to recover Luanzhou.

He had no choice but to advocate giving up Jizhou, because Zunhua is now occupied, and Sanhe behind him is also occupied by Jiannu. Jizhou has become a Roujiamo sandwiched on both sides, and he really can't hold on.

However, Zhao Xing's arrival gave him hope, so he insisted on defending Jizhou again, blocking the passage of Jiannu to the northwest to Beijing, and secondly, serving as a support support for Zhao Xing. Once Zhao Xing's attack was unfavorable, he could retreat to Jizhou.

However, the new chief assistant Huang Yu had long been scared and resolutely ordered Sun Chengzong to lead Zu Dashou and other guards to close the door as a barrier to the capital. Even Sun Chengzong proposed to guard Tongzhou, but he was determined not to do so.

In other words, the current situation is very different from when Zhao Xing first left Beijing. It was just in these few days. When Zhao Xing was no longer, the Ministry of War led by Donglin suddenly made a difference. They insisted firmly, let go of the battlefield around Zunhua, leaving no soldiers and soldiers, and tried their best to regain the capital again.

To put it better, Zhao Xing is not in the capital and everyone has no backbone. But to put it in the dark, it means that once Zhao Xing acts in the north, he will fight alone and have no support.

When Zhao Xing heard about this situation, he was a little confused at the time and quickly sent someone to discuss with Hong Chengchou, who was rectifying military affairs.

Hong Chengchou hurried in and visited Sun Chengzong. When he heard about this sudden situation, he was also at a loss.

"I'm not hiding the current situation. Master Sun. I know, ah, no, I guess Jiannu has not really seen the weakness of the Ming Dynasty this time. Especially the battle of Yongding Gate, Huang Taiji will misjudgment on the combat effectiveness of our army. He has no ability and military strength now, and he dare not peek at Hebei and Shandong. At the same time, the number of king-fighters in various places is no less than 200,000, and the actual number of troops in the Beijing camp is 120,000, which is enough to stabilize the situation in the capital. Once the troops of my nephew are captured by Zunhua, they will not only boost the morale of the army, but also make Jiannu panic, making him afraid to go south to Hebei and Shandong. Therefore, my nephew directly led his troops to hide his tracks and head north to the east."

Sun Chengzong frowned and asked, "That means that your army suddenly appeared here, and your intention to attack Zunhua did not inform the court?"

Zhao Xing smiled bitterly: "Now that our army has arrived here, only you know. Once the imperial court in the capital knows, one is that they must be in command of me. At the same time, with the sewage-like confidentiality work, most of the Chinese people probably don't know it yet. Huang Taiji will definitely be able to master the clarification."

Sun Chengzong nodded slowly and admitted Zhao Xing's statement.

In this era, there were almost no secrets, especially the people in the capital, who were famous speakers in the world. They even like to spread national affairs without any problems. How can such secrets be hidden?

Not to mention it when it is close, but to the distance, when the Northern Song and Jin Army approached Kaifeng, a general decided to attack the enemy camp at night. As a result, before it was dark, guns and cannons were fired in Bianliang City to celebrate the victory of the surprise attack. What's more, everyone rushed to the city in a swarm to watch the battle and witness the victory.

"You are guilty of disobeying military orders."

Zhao Xing sneered: "The general is away and the military orders are not accepted. Besides, I am still an imperial envoy. The soldiers I lead are actually the mutiny border troops that I have rectified, and I have the right to make decisions."

Sun Chengzong could only smile bitterly and shook his head: "Then we will inform the court of this matter now and wait for the court to send troops to take over Jizhou."

Zhao Xing shook his head: "My Tiqi can only block the enemy until tomorrow afternoon. We will attack Zunhua as a surprise attack, so it is too late." Then he looked at Hong Chengchou, the nominal general. Once he succeeded, he would be a great contribution; and once he failed, he could leave and Hong Chengchou had to take all the responsibilities.

Hong Chengchou knew what Zhao Xing meant. Now that he had already boarded Zhao Xing's ship, he had already reached this point, and he couldn't think about it. So he stood up and bowed to Sun Chengzong and asked: "Master, how many people are there in Jizhou?"

Sun Chengzong immediately replied: "After the rectification, there will be three thousand soldiers who can fight, and five thousand people who have been baptized by battle." But then he said: "But the Ministry of War and the Cabinet have written that the three thousand soldiers of the guards must be transferred to the close of the gate with me and cannot be left behind."

Sun Chengzong is a standard official and civil servant. He will never be as afraid of being a young man like Zhao Xing and Hong Chengchou.

Zhao Xing asked Hong Chengchou again: "Mr. Hong, what should we do?"

Hong Chengchou closed his eyes and thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Please ask the county lord to sit in Jizhou. The two thousand Jing camps she has rectified, plus we will leave behind two thousand five hundred soldiers in Zhao He, and cooperate with five thousand brave men, we can defend the future attack of Jiannu on Jizhou."

Zhao Xing breathed a sigh of relief and smiled and said to Hong Chengchou: "You are not authentic, you are taking our family in one fell swoop."

"We have no way out, and the overall situation needs to be the same."
