Chapter 40 Fainting on the way back to Beijing

Outside the Bauhinia Pass, the army was majestic and the flags were waving.

Tao Jin, the former commander of the Zijing Pass, and Sun Xiang, the right deputy censor of the Admiral, stood respectfully at the closing gate. Behind him were the generals who were originally guarding the Zijing Pass.

Today, the four martial camps were pulled back to the capital, and the two led the troops who were guarding Zijing Pass to see off the army.

Seeing the sun rising, but there was no sign of Wang Wen and Su Cheng. Everyone began to become irritable. Sun Xiang was the first to endure:

"Although Huailaibo made great contributions this time, he was too lazy at this time when the army was starting."

Tao Jin put on his armor and pressed his sword. Hearing this, he glanced at Sun Xiang and suddenly smiled.

Seeing Tao Jin's appearance, Sun Xiang was confused and looked around. Seeing that everyone was confused, he asked Tao Jin unhappily:

"Why did Governor Tao laugh?"

Tao Jin curled his smile:

"I laughed at the fact that Lord is a little hypocritical. The commander of Aries Pass Lv Ze fled, and the garrison minister Tongzheng envoy Xie Ze did not retreat and died in the battle."

"If Master Su Bo asked to raise troops to guard the three passes, you and I would be like Xie Ze, what opportunity would you be impatient?"

Sun Xiang's expression changed slightly. He was about to speak when the door suddenly became turbulent and a military horse arrived.

The Hutong led the troops and drove out the main gate. Dozens of polite soldiers from behind came out in a row, with flags standing in front of him. The central army in Sucheng moved.

Wang Wen and Su Cheng walked hand in hand. When they arrived at the gate, they saluted the people of Zijing Pass who were waiting.

Tao Jin was very low and said politely:

"I will send you two lords to you."

Wang Wen ignored Tao Jin and looked at Sun Xiang next to him:

"Mr. Sun is also a proud man, but you are not in good condition and have a weak military preparation in the pass. I will report it to Your Majesty and I will actually report it to you."

Sun Xiang's face turned red and his voice was furious:

"It is the duty of the censor to impeach illegally. Lord Wang is the right censor. You don't have to report all your duties to me."

Su Cheng ignored the two who were quarreling, pulled the reins, urged the horse to go, and said goodbye to Tao Jin:

"I have entrusted the matter of Zijing Pass to Governor Tao. I will return to Beijing now. I don't know when I will work with Governor Tao again. I will meet you in the future. I will invite you to drink."

Tao Jin laughed and said goodbye to Su Cheng:

"Don't worry, when you meet in the capital in the future, you must come to disturb me."

The army set off, the horse and infantry were on their way one after another, the central army flags were waving, and Sucheng headed first.

Wang Wen, who had fought with Sun Xiang, had a red face and drove his horse to catch up with Su Cheng.

"Governor Su, I just received the news that our promotion and reward have been decided."

Su Cheng rode on the horse, and the old god was there, and ignored Wang Wen.

Fan Guang, Zhang Fu, Xu An, Zhang Shitou and other generals looked over, their faces full of curiosity.

Seeing that Su Cheng was not interested, Wang Wen snorted in dissatisfaction:

"Why, Governor Su has known the news for a long time?"

Su Cheng waved his hand and scolded several curious generals, with a helpless tone:

"My elder misunderstood me. I started from civil engineering and was simply stripped of by His Majesty. If the capital has no foundation, how could I get such important news?"

The big defeat came first, and Sucheng has not been simulated for several days.

Su Cheng was really exhausted because of the repeated battles. There was no war in the past few days. Su Cheng didn't want to do anything except eating or sleeping. He mostly naps while riding on the horse.

As for the promotion, Su Cheng didn't care much about it.

The great merit of expelling Yesen is that as long as Emperor Jingtai is in power, he will definitely be granted the title of marquis, especially when the war in Juyongguan is compared, the rewards for the credit will only be even heavier.

If Emperor Jingtai still followed Emperor Yongle's court checks and balances strategy and civil and military forces competed with each other, then he would be the leader of the imperial court nobles after the Tumen, and like the previous founding nobles and Jingnan nobles, he would become a new noble faction.

Wang Wendun felt bored. If he said that Su Cheng had no foundation in the capital, he believed it. He had left the relationship these days and basically checked all the eighth generation of the Su Cheng family.

He was born in an ordinary village in the Yellow River Beach area of ​​Kaizhou, Northern Zhili. He had a younger brother and a younger sister at home. Both parents died and he was able to grow up so old with relatives. When he joined the army, some of his salary was sent to his family to support his younger brother and sister.

He started from the cold and good at the army and eventually became a great man.

Wang Wen admired Su Cheng, with surprise attacks and city defense. Wang Wen didn't care about the military skills that Su Cheng showed during wars. He didn't care about which general who could fight had no talent for military service.

What Wang Wen cares about is Su Cheng's ability to predict the enemy's initiative and win silently.

When the Oirat army came to capture Maguan, there were tens of thousands of people everywhere, and there were boundless. The 70,000 Oirat army at that time looked overwhelming.

Wang Wen also governed Shaanxi and was the governor of the country, but Wang Wen participated in such a large-scale war for the first time. At that time, Wang Wen was ready to die in Zijing Pass.

Fortunately, Sucheng is powerful enough.

However, overnight, Sucheng defeated the 70,000 Oirat soldiers who had not been trained in the battle and defeated the Oirat army camp with 30,000 untrained Beijing soldiers.

This battle was entirely due to Sucheng's premonition of the battlefield. According to the terrain, the sky-burning thunder was buried in advance, and the battle was defeated Yesen.

The only governor Fan Guang, who had experience in war, was sent to the periphery by Su Cheng and drove away Yesen's army.

Afterwards, the results of the battle were taken into consideration. Including the bombed Oirat soldiers, including those strangled by the four martial camps, there were only more than 10,000 soldiers, less than 20,000.

Most of them fled from all the passes in the Great Wall and returned to the grassland.

When Yexian escaped from Aries Pass, he gathered more than 10,000 troops, but when he saw the banner of Sucheng, he still rushed into the grassland without looking back.

It can be said that since the Tumu battle, the Oirat soldiers heard Sucheng's name and turned around and fled, without the courage to fight against it.

In the Battle of Maguan, Sucheng completely defeated Yesen's arrogance with 40,000 soldiers.

Unfortunately, I didn't kill the Supreme Emperor!

Wang Wen sighed, his face full of dissatisfaction.

However, Sucheng's performance these days is a bit unfavorable. He is drowsy every day, sleeping when marching, sleeping when chasing enemies, sleeping when walking, and sleeping when riding a horse.

Maybe it was injured.

Wang Wen tied the reins and asked the old servant behind him:

"Lao Wang, have you found the doctor I asked you to ask?"

Lao Wang was driving a thin horse. Because of his poor riding skills, he was trembling on the horse's back, as if he would fall down at any time. When he heard Wang Wen's question, he hurriedly strangled the reins:

“Well…”

"Master, you almost scared me Lao Wang to death!"

"The doctors at Zijing Pass are not very good, and I can't tell whether Mr. Huailai is sick. Let's go back to Beijing to find the imperial doctor. The imperial doctors can definitely see what kind of illness Mr. Huailai is sick."

Wang Wen looked at Su Cheng's back and looked melancholy:

"In ancient times, Huo Qubing Fenglang Juxu died young. I was worried about the governor's body. If there were any symptoms in my body, I could detect it as soon as possible and cure it as soon as possible."

"If the governor died of an epidemic, it would be a loss for my Ming Dynasty."

"Governor!"

"Thousand Houses!"

"Brother!"

A series of shouts suddenly sounded in front of him, and the central army, which was originally marching, suddenly became in chaos.

Hou Xu An of Yongkang and Hou Zhang Fu of Longping were dismounted, and Fan Guang and Zhang Shitou even rushed out of the horse's back.

Something happened to Sucheng!

Wang Wen's eyes turned dark and he almost fell off the horse. Fortunately, Old Wang was quick and supported him.

"Hurry up, go see the governor."

Wang Wen pushed Lao Wang's hand away, slapped his horse forward, and his face looked anxious.
