As the city gate opened, for the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp who had fought hard, it meant that they would escape.

Thinking that he had just walked away from the gates of hell, the first thing everyone did when they entered Yulin City was to collapse on the ground, and then cheered, glad that he was still alive.

At this time, Chen Xi did not ride the same horse with Yu Niang. He stood on the wooden board in front of the carriage, holding the top of the carriage with his hands, like a general standing on a chariot and leading his troops to triumphantly from the battlefield. When the soldiers in the city saw him, they felt that this young man was very powerful.

The convoy resumed its progress. Before passing through the city, cars had already been sent out to greet him.

Chen Xi jumped out of the carriage and saw a general surrounded by a crowd coming over. He shouted, "Why don't we open the city gate when we send the emperor to send the cannon?"

One sentence made the officers and soldiers behind the general tense, and some could not help but pull out their waists and faced each other angrily. The general was in his forties, with a square face. He heard this and turned red, and he looked a little ashamed. He smiled awkwardly, and bowed and asked, "What is your lord?"

Chen Xi was angry: "I am the envoy of the mission, who are you?"

"Bold." Someone next to him shouted, "Dare you dare to be so rude to your husband!"

Chen Xi was angry and said nothing, but when he heard the "master" he immediately thought that the Duke of Yansui was Zhu Hui, the Duke of Baoguo.

Zhu Hui was a Duke who was granted the title of title. His grandfather and father both made great achievements in combat, especially his father Zhu Yong, who was given the General Seal eight times. He was in charge of the 12th Regiment Battalion and the Governor's Office. After Zhu Yong died in the fifth year of Hongzhi, Zhu Hui succeeded to protect the throne of the country, but his abilities were obviously not on the same level as his grandfather and father.

This Zhu Hui is a famous "swer" in "History of Ming Dynasty".

In the 14th year of Hongzhi, Zhu Hui replaced Pingjiang Bo Chen Rui to attack the Tatars fire sieve to attack Datong and Yansui's troops, but the army slowly moved from the beginning of its departure. When it reached Dazhong, the Tatars had already plundered.

Zhu Hui was calm and continued to lead his army to Yansui Town. After arriving at Yulin Guard, he led his troops to attack the Hetao area. However, the Tatars had withdrawn at that time and only received a thousand five hundred horses, camels, cattle and sheep.

Later, the Tatar army entered Guyuan and turned to plunder Pingliang, Qingyang and Guanzhong. The two generals of Yingcheng dared not fight, and Zhu Hui was also afraid and did not hurry to go. When the army arrived, they only killed twelve people and recovered the 4,000 plunderings. This battle was not won, but the army was undisciplined, which disturbed the people and injured many wealth, and made little gains.

The court officials and censors impeached each other, but Emperor Hongzhi refused to question.

At that time, more than 10,000 soldiers were reported to have made contributions to the nest. Ma Wensheng, Minister of War, and Liu Jian, Grand Secretary, held a letter and refused to give it. Emperor Hongzhi still gave more than 200 people who had previously requested Zhu Hui's reward, and sent the official to welcome the labor with sheep wine.

The censors impeached one after another, but Emperor Hongzhi refused to listen and still ordered the governor general Zhu Hui to lead the three thousand battalions and the governor's office of the Right Army.

History changed with the emergence of Chen Xi. Although Zhu Hui went to Yansui Town to lead troops, the one who was responsible for sending troops was Liu Daxia. Obviously, in terms of service ability, Liu Daxia was even trusted by Emperor Hongzhi. Zhu Hui was ordered to stay in the Yulin Guard, but he didn't expect that Chen Xi would almost lose his life.

Although Zhu Hui is a timid and greedy person, he has been with his father for a long time and knows that he is respectful to the wise and ruthless, he does not show off his aura of a lord. He waves his hands to his subordinates, then hugs Chen Xi and apologizes:

"The little hero killed countless enemies outside the city, and he was also the envoy of His Majesty's mission. It is also worthy of being angry after being wronged. I wonder who the little hero's surname is?"

Song Shu and others present did not expect that the dignified Duke would be so polite to Chen Xi.

It is no wonder that Zhu Hui has a good temper, because Chen Xi just led his troops to use artillery to wipe out the Tatars outside the city, which has exceeded the number of killing all the Tatars on three sides in previous years, and is far more than several times.

This is also the reason why the Tatars retreated!

Only then did we know why the Ming army is like crazy today. In the past, when we rushed in front of us, they were waiting to die, but now they have beaten us to pieces. If we don’t leave, the whole army will be wiped out!

When Chen Xi saw that even the dignified Duke was talking to him, the anger in his heart suddenly disappeared. He bowed and said, "I am the right edict of Chen Xi of the Zhan Mansion."

Zhu Hui thought for a while and asked, "Chen Xi? This..."

Someone next to him quickly came forward to tell Zhu Hui. Zhu Hui said in surprise: "It turns out that he is the top scholar, and he is indifferent. This frontier plan requires talent like the top scholar..."

Chen Xi couldn't help but frown when he heard this. Is this the duke of the Ming Dynasty?

It sounds more like those incompetent people who flatter!

The Beijing camp people entered the city, and this time they won the largest victory over the Mongolian and Yuan army in recent years. However, the Beijing camp officers and soldiers suffered extremely severe losses. Finally, it was counted that, together with the more than 400 sent by the Ministry of War, there were only a few more than 200 left. However, most of them died because of the escape in the middle of the journey. There were only dozens of people who were actually following the mountain. There were still deserters outside, so they didn't know that the battle ended with the victory of the Ming side.

"Master, please get in the car." Yulin Security General came over to show his sincerity to Zhu Hui.

"I dare not, don't dare, I'd better ask Chen Zhuangyuan to get on the car." Zhu Hui came here to help Chen Xi in person.

Chen Xi coughed, quickly replied with a bow, and said respectfully: "You are polite, I have a carriage myself."

After saying that, Chen Xi turned around and climbed onto his carriage, but the carriage didn't take a few steps, and the shaft broke, and Chen Xi rolled down from the carriage... The previous war was completely in a state of fleeing in a hurry. The carriage had undergone severe tests, and it was already very good to be able to persevere until now.

Chen Xi got up from the ground, and Zhu Hui personally stepped forward to help him up. This time, Chen Xi finally refused and followed Zhu Hui to the spacious and gorgeous carriage. At this time, Song Shu, who had won a great victory with Chen Xi, was already commanding the border army to do things arrogantly: "Did you see the power of the cannons? Why don't you put it on the top of the city quickly! With it, Yulin City will be as solid as a god in the future."

Zhu Hui said to Chen Xidao: "Chen Zhuangyuan, do you think this can be done? The Tatars are now in the east and north. Can they put artillery on the fronts of the city walls on both sides?"

Chen Xi thought to himself, it turns out that he has the right to speak only if he is hard!

I won a victory with the Tatars, and even the dignified Duke of the State had to discuss with me. I am a small official from the fifth rank. It would be good to see him not salute him and greet him. Is it necessary to ask me everything?

"Just do what Duke Bao said."

After Chen Xi finished speaking, he got into the carriage and had not sat firmly. He suddenly remembered something, so he quickly opened the curtain, waved his hand, and signaled Zhang Laowu to come over. At this time, Zhang Laowu's face was still covered with blood. Chen Xi gave a few simple instructions, and Zhang Laowu immediately responded to the task.

Zhu Hui asked in surprise: "This strong man... is so powerful, is he a powerful man, but is he a member of the Shen Zhuangyuan family?"

Chen Xi thought to himself, do you think I am you and have a family member?

This is just a yamen runner I brought back from Quanzhou! The Fujian and Guangdong races are generally not tall. Even if Zhang Laowu is relatively thick, he is only less than 1.65 meters tall. How can he be called the word "magnanimity"? It's just that he killed someone and had murderous aura.

Chen Xi replied: "I am a civil servant, so how can I get my family general? This is the deputy sent by the Ministry of War, who is specifically responsible for teaching the fireworks."

"There are strangers under the command of capable people."

Zhu Hui's face was full of admiration, and he was extremely envious of Chen Xi's subordinates who could fight tough battles with the Tatars. Until now, he still couldn't understand why so many generals in the Ming Dynasty could not accomplish anything, and a civil official took two or three hundred soldiers in the Beijing camp to complete it?

The car finally left the city and entered the Yulin city gate. Chen Xi sat in the seat and seemed weak.

Zhu Hui said: "The Chen Zhuangyuan worked hard in this battle, but I guess he has lost all his money at this moment. How about the war report from my master to the court?"

Chen Xi leaned on the wall of the carriage, feeling that the dignified prince's carriage was comfortable sitting. Hearing this, he couldn't help but look at Zhu Hui, who was eager to look at him. At this time, Zhu Hui was almost the same as Zhang Lian, who was greedy for success after winning a great victory with the Folang Jiren when he was in Quanzhou.

Only then did Chen Xi realize that Zhu Hui did not admire him, but was concerned about this military merit.

The man had to bow his head under the eaves. Chen Xi could not argue with Zhu Hui, and nodded and said, "I'm sorry to protect the Duke."

"No, no annoyance."

The carriage entered the governor's office in the center of the city.

In Yulin Guard, the largest official yamen is the Yansui Governor's Office. Now Zhu Hui is temporarily acting as the Yansui Governor, which is equivalent to Yansui's military and administrative leader, and no matter the military and civilians, he must accept his regulation.

"Sir, the carriage is delivered. Do you see if it's acceptable?"

As soon as Chen Xi got off the carriage, a man from the Governor's Office found a new carriage for Chen Xi. The border area is vast and sparsely populated. To travel, you must have a carriage for transportation. The sedan chair is not responsible for the trouble.

When Zhu Hui saw Chen Xi nodding repeatedly, he said with a smile: "Just put it outside. I still have something to discuss with Lord Shen. Don't come and disturb me."

After saying that, Zhu Hui made a gesture of inviting Chen Xi, walking into the governor's yamen while telling the current situation facing Beiguan.

When he first entered the city, Chen Xi was full of anger and was not so concerned about the Duke Bao in front of him. But now if you think about it carefully, you, the Duke of the Ming Dynasty, do everything you can to seize credit, but you really lose the price.

"...Now the wind is heard around Yansui, and the soldiers of the three armies dare not move!" After saying that, Zhu Hui looked embarrassed.

Chen Xi asked, "Where is Shangshu Liu now?"

"This is exactly where my title is hesitant. Liu Shangshu led his troops north for more than 20 days. He had no news before. It was not until yesterday that the troops of the Tatar Fire Sieve Division had detoured to the flanks of Liu Shangshu's division." Zhu Hui said.

Chen Xi was slightly surprised and asked, "What's the difficulty for the Duke of the State? Just send reinforcements!"

"Mr. Shen, don't laugh. This Tatar... can be returned at any time. If Yulin City is lost, who can afford to take responsibility?"

Chen Xi finally saw clearly Zhu Hui's character.

In fact, Zhu Hui's father Zhu Yong was also well-known in history. For example, Liu Jian, a senior secretary of the dynasty, commented that he had "pretentious achievements", and Wang Shizhen, Chen Renxi and others also wrote books to kill good people and make achievements, and his military achievements were very rich. Now Zhu Hui took over the title from his father and inherited his character of exaggerating his military achievements. In addition, Zhu Hui was timid and looked at the forefront, so he could not expect him to fight the Tatars bloody battle.

Chen Xi asked, "What if the troops of Shangshu Liu's troops cannot be safely withdrawn to Yulin?"

Zhu Hui hesitated and said, "This...this..."

I don’t want to send troops to rescue me, and I don’t want something wrong with Liu Daxia. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world!

If Liu Daxia is defeated, the largest mobile force on the three sides will be lost. When the Tatars saw that the Ming army was just like this, their morale will naturally be greatly boosted. Since you can't stand one by one, I will concentrate my superior forces and remove the nails one by one. As long as the frontier barriers are all gone, the Tatars will not be far away when they go deep into the heartland of the Central Plains.

"Is it difficult for the people of the country to make things difficult?" Chen Xi's tone of questioning at this time became a little more stern.

Zhu Hui looked up straight when he heard this. Don’t think that I would be kind to you as soon as I made great contributions. I will make the decision on my land. You, a fifth-rank official, dare to speak to me like this. He immediately replied coldly: "Mr. Shen has just arrived in Yansui. You might as well take a break for two days. If there is any news, I will definitely notify you as soon as possible."

This is another skill that must be known as a senior official of the court... shirk responsibility!

Since there is a risk in sending reinforcements, and not sending them will lead to the overall war situation, I will not make a decision for now. Let’s see how Liu Daxia is going to be. If Liu Daxia asks me to send troops with the emperor’s order, I will consider the issue of sending troops.

Chen Xi felt sad for Liu Daxia at this time.

Now it is a critical moment of life and death, and everyone around you knows that Liu Daxia is almost in a desperate situation now, but no one sends troops to aid.

Because the guards everywhere were thinking that something happened was Liu Daxia's responsibility. If I followed the reinforcements, I would take the blame with Liu Daxia.

Therefore, border troops everywhere would rather sit idly by and watch the Tatars do whatever they want within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and would not take the initiative to attack at all, or even send reinforcements.
