Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 70
Suddenly, Zhu Yixi realized that he had become a fragrant bun.

"Of course, you can't ask for it!"

Logistics, documents, and joining the army to praise paintings just lack a professional. Zhao Shu, who is in charge of the entire Qin army's staff, is very suitable.

In the future, it can even be used for government affairs.

As he said that, Zhu Yixi stretched out his right hand, his gaze was like a torch.

"Hahaha, interesting!" Zhao Shu laughed, and he also extended his right hand.

Hold both hands tightly.

After the ceremonial meeting, Zhu Yixi said unceremoniously: "Mr. Zhao, I will leave it to you to retreat the army and supplies."

"Where are you going?" Zhao Cheng restrained his smile and asked seriously.

"First, Xi'an."

Zhu Yixi smiled slightly and said, "There is also a craftsman's camp over there!"

"Carpenter camp?"

"If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools."

Zhu Yixi said confidently.

"Of order!" Zhao Shu smiled slightly, and agreed gracefully.

Zhu Yixi smiled in the same way, no matter how famous he is, it depends on the specific practice.

Immediately, Zhu Yixi rushed to see Sun Chuanting for the last time, but was blocked.

Seeing the hunched back through a door, Zhu Yixi was so moved that he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Jingming!" Sun Chuanting said in a deep voice through the door: "I am a dying person, and I should die in battle as a matter of course. I have no regrets."

"Remember, take care of my wife and children, and don't forget to help Daming."

"Zhu Yixi understands!" Responding heavily, Zhu Yixi knelt down, kowtowed a few times, and then walked away steadily.

Of course he understood that for Sun Chuanting, death was far better than life.

During the period of rebirth, so far, only Sun Chuanting is the most admirable.

"Walk--"

The moon has already set to the west, and the black magpies are flying south. Under the shadows of the trees, there are already many soldiers standing.

Zhu Yixi took the lead, followed by Chen Yongfu, Li Jizu, Zhu Meng, Zhao Shu, Li Jingwu and others, with steady and light steps.

"Jingwu, you lead the scouts and open the way ahead."

"Obey!" Li Jingwu hurriedly responded.

"Guerrilla, now in the army, there are 410 horses, more than [-] mules and horses, and a total of more than [-] soldiers..."

On the side, Zhao Shumo read a series of numbers, apparently reporting to work.

He raised his head slightly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, looking confident.

As for this, Zhu Yixi is also quite satisfied. It is already a surprise to have a character like Xiao He.

"Mr. Zhao, you are already a member of our army."

Riding on the horse, Zhu Yixi said softly.

"Thank you Guerrilla!" Zhao Shu cupped his hands.

"but--"

"But what?"

"However, you should still lack a lupine in your hand, so it will be perfect."

"Hahaha!" Zhao Shu laughed again: "Guerrilla, you are ridiculous."

When Zhu Yixi heard this, she just smiled, turned her head, and said in a low voice, "This is my expectation."

"Expectation." Zhao Shu was lost in thought.

Zhuge Kongming, Liu Bei, the clan, he seems to have discovered something...

……

The next day, the Chuang army attacked the city again, still using the practical crowd tactics, taking turns to fight.

But on this day, the red-clothed cannon exploded two more, leaving only two left.

Sun Chuanting sat on a chair directly at the head of the city, boosting morale.

This time, the momentum was like a rainbow, and he persisted for another day.

Persisting until the fourth day, Sun Chuanting felt that the deadline was approaching, and he couldn't help persuading the only two thousand people left in the city:

"The old man is exhausted. The people in the city have already been evacuated. You should divide up the remaining money and food. Let's all go!"

At night, the soldiers knelt down to express gratitude, and after a quarter of an hour, they dispersed.

And there are only more than a hundred soldiers around him.

"Why don't you go? What's the point of accompanying me, a dying man!"

A smile appeared on Sun Chuanting's withered face.

"I am willing to accompany the supervisor to die together."

The soldiers' momentum was like a rainbow, and their voices shook the sky.

"well--"

A trace of blood appeared on Sun Chuanting's face, and he cheered up and said, "Let us serve the imperial court together with this Tongguan!"

Immediately, the huge stone gate was lowered, completely sealing the gate of the city, and the same was true for the Wengcheng, completely sealing it to stop the marching army.

The fifth day after the army dispersed.

When the smoke from the Chuangjun's kitchen lighted up and another attack was made, they suddenly discovered that the defense this time was extremely weak.

Thousands of people easily attacked Tongguan City.

Surprised, I saw an old man slumped on a chair with his eyes closed, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, surrounded by more than a hundred soldiers.

"Hey old man, are you surrendering?"

The big man in the lead couldn't believe it.

"Supervisor, supervisor?" The captain of the personal army shook his body, lightly tested his nose and mouth, and burst into tears instantly:
"The supervisor has gone—"

"Master—" All the soldiers knelt down, their tiger eyes filled with tears, and the torches in their hands were suddenly thrown aside.

"Huh?" As he pressed forward step by step, Chuangjun suddenly saw that this group of people was filled with gunpowder and accompanied by two cannons.

"Go, go—"

Everyone panicked, this is suicide!
"Pfft-"

"Boom—" The entire city gate tower was bombarded and collapsed in an instant, killing many intruders who could not escape.

And more than a hundred people, including the old man, were submerged in the ruins.

After a long time, Li Zicheng boarded Tongguan.

At some point, there was a drizzle in the sky, and it seemed that he was also crying for the death of the old man.

He stared at the scene in front of him, remained silent for a moment, and then said: "Master Sun, you don't stop after death!"

As he spoke, he waved his sleeves and said to the generals: "Clean up Tongguan, then go west, the target is Xi'an City!!"

"Your servant obeys—"

The generals were majestic and full of joy.

Once Sun Chuanting died, the surviving Qin army was naturally worthless, and the huge Shaanxi became their possession.

There is nothing more gratifying than being able to return home victorious.

……

At this time, the capital had just received Sun Chuanting's memorial.

He also has a clearer understanding of the entire Ruzhou battle.

However, the ministers of the cabinet and the officials of the imperial court were all silent after learning the news.

Unbelievable, and unbelievable.

Compared with the difficult Guan Ning army, Sun Chuanting's Qin army was the last powerful force in the hands of the imperial court.

Basically, there is no need to think about it. After the disastrous defeat, the Qin army can no longer expect to hold Shaanxi.

Emperor Chongzhen was even more furious: "Sun Chuanting, who owed the holy favor, 10 people, the elites from the three sides, lost them all. It is an unforgivable crime."

"Advance underestimated the enemy, caring about the head and ignoring the tail, because I handed over half of the country to him..."

Facing the emperor's abuse, the courtiers did not dare to intervene.

Sun Chuanting placed so much hope and favor in the past, but now, the emperor hates him so much.

After a while, Emperor Chongzhen stopped. He said angrily, "Sun Chuanting was escorted to Beijing. I want to hear his excuse."

"Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Chen Yan had no choice but to come out and explain: "Nowadays in Shanxi Province, Sun Chuanting is entrusted with his life, let him give him a chance to redeem himself!"

"Let's see if he can hold Tongguan!"

Emperor Chongzhen said coldly, waving his sleeves: "It will not be too late."
