Taikang Hou Zhang Guoji felt that Liu Yongxi was right: "Xiao Chengyi Bo said it very well. We have to be careful of this situation. If we encounter a raid on the shore, the people and horses on the ship will be passively beaten. It will be completely different if we advance together by water and land! Moreover, Xiao Chengyi Bo's horse team can retreat to the ship at any time!"

Empress Zhang felt that Liu Yongxi was talking so well. After all, Chengyi Bo Mansion had already been admiring Cao Jiang for four times, and the Ming Dynasty could not find any military merits that could surpass Chengyi Bo Mansion in this regard.

Since Liu Yongxi said that moving forward side by land and water is the best solution, there should be no problem, so she put down the curtains casually: "Then according to Xiao Chengyi Bo's wishes, it's still the same. All killing and military use matters during the southbound journey will be left to Xiao Chengyi Bo with cheap treatment!"

After carefully putting on the red tassel helmet, Liu Yongxi began to turn his horse's head. Before leaving, he also promised loudly to Zhang Yan in the car: "Please rest assured, Empress, even if I am broken, I must ensure that the Empress is foolproof!"

The curtain of the car was lifted up again. Queen Zhang was very satisfied with the performance of Ying Xichengyi Bo. She said to the pretty little palace maid beside her: "Young uncle is indeed a general. This skill should have been obtained from the true teachings of Liu Bozhao, Cao Jiang Chengyi Boss!"

The little palace maid kept staring at Liu Yongxi's heroic back, and was still thinking about Liu Yongxi's killing decision in his heart. When Liu Yongxi walked away, he said: "This may be the ability that Wen Chenggong taught Xiao Chengyi Bo in his dream. But he must not be distracted by such people. Do you need to kill and use military force? Please give the empress arbitrary decision to defeat people with virtue and dictatorship. Is it necessary to go to the altar to treat the generals and the national heroes!"

It is dozens of miles from the capital to Tongzhou. This was originally a place in the capital. There were traffic and pedestrians on the road. There were even grain ships reaching Chaoyangmen on the Datong River. However, along the way, there were only inns, cargo warehouses, mule and horse shops and southern goods stores with closed doors left. The prosperity was not even one-tenth of that of normal.

However, along the way, I still bumped into several escaped troops. Although there was no major drama of taking action on the ground, whether it was the servants of the Liu Mansion, Zhao Zhijie's Beijing camp officers and soldiers, or the desperate people from Liaodong, they all saw Liu Yongxi's true sharpness, and made everyone know that Xiao Lao can kill people and live, and anyway, everyone's life is in Xiao Lao's hands.

Liu Yongxi also obtained some very important information from these fugitives, that is, Li Zicheng's hundreds of thousands of thieves were indeed close at hand. Although he didn't know when they would arrive at the capital, according to the information provided by these fugitives, the scout Qingqi sent by Li Zicheng may have reached within a hundred miles of the capital.

If you drag it for another day or two, I'm afraid even the gods will not be able to do anything. Fortunately, now is the best time to escape south. If you go three or five days in the morning, Liu Yongxi's team will definitely be blocked at the first time. It is absolutely impossible to enter a state of no one like now. If you are two or three days late, you might run into Li Zicheng's millions of thieves head-on as soon as you leave the city.

And Fu Ding, who was walking in the front, also received good news: "Brother! Tongzhou is coming soon!"

Tongzhou City is a big city, which can be said to be the lifeline of the capital. The grain and gold and silver transported from the south every year pass here and store it in more than a dozen large warehouses near Tongzhou. The food stored in these dozen warehouses alone is 40,500,000 stones.

Therefore, the imperial court specially set up a Governor of the Warehouse and dozens of large and small yamen here, but recently the city has become cloudy.

As for the reason, naturally, Tongzhou City has cut off most of its contact with the south. Neither the canal transportation nor the pond report can maintain normal operation. It has not been seen that the northbound canal ships from Nanjing and Huaian have arrived at the six piers here for several days. I don’t even know what happened during this period on the canal. Only scattered outdated pond reports have been sent.

Shandong's tyrants were everywhere, located between the north and south Zhili. Although the strongest Liangshan thief Li Qingshan tribe, was recruited and pacified in the 15th year of Chongzhen and was sent to the capital to be executed, there were still many tyrants tyrants appearing on both sides of the canal, and some even openly took the banner of Li Zicheng, the king of treasury here, but more importantly, the residents, gentry and some officials had completely lost trust in the court.

Since the 46th and 7th year of Wanli, the deceased drought of millions, Shandong has encountered unprecedented catastrophes again and again. The court did not do much except increase the salary year by year, so at this critical juncture, the court lost control of Shandong. It turned out that the endless stream of canal ships and Tangbao only occasionally arrived at the Tongzhou wharf.

The slogan "Open the city gate and welcome the King of Chuang. If the King of Chuang comes, you won't pay any food" has an amazing appeal to ordinary people who are promoted to fight. Many civilians in Shandong, Beizhili and even the capital are eager for the emergence of the King of Chuang.

Although Tongzhou City has a Governor of the Cangchang, more than 20 yamen of all sizes and countless masters, the 25,000 army at its heyday is completely in the name of the 25,000 troops. Although there are still 20,000 people on the list, now there are not even 2,000 war soldiers. Therefore, the governors, Yuanwailang, and the heads guarding here are anxious to become ants on the hot pan.

Although the masters temporarily pieced together two thousand Minzhuang to prepare to come to the city to help the battle at any time, these two thousand Minzhuang also exist on the list. The chief officials at all levels are honest and dedicated to the public and do not take a penny, so there are at least 500 Minzhuang people who are truly available. The men who know this have become frightened birds.

A sudden team on the avenue directly broke the tranquility here. Although Liu Yongxi's team had only more than 200 people in total, the men in the city were already panicked. In addition, Liu Yongxi also had a small team of horses, which soon became "nearly a thousand thieves forwards" and "thousands of thieves army".

For a time, the city of Tongzhou had become a mess. Some people advocated going out of the city to fight to make a happy death. Some suggested letting the city go far and luring the enemy into the depths. Some suggested waiting and watching for the time being. The mainstream opinion believed that we should stick to the city and asked at least dozens of officials who died in the line of duty.

However, these dozens of yamen were actually paralyzed, and no one dared to go out of the city to fight this bandit vanguard.

Fortunately, a civilian who escaped finally reported that he saw that the banner of this team had nothing to do with the thief.

"Admiral Cao Jiang Liu!"

"Sincerely Liu of Bo Mansion!"

When you see these two bright flags, you will know that it must be related to the famous Cao Jiang Chengyi Bo Liu Kongbo.

However, although Liu Bowen and Liu Ji are the legendary gods who are as famous as Zhuge Liang, Chengyi Bo Mansion and Donglin Fushe have been fighting for decades. The reputation of Chengyi Bo Mansion has been almost ruined by political enemies, so everyone naturally does not have much respect for Liu Kongzhao.
