Chen Yuanyuan's exposure was of great effect.

In this way, it can be basically confirmed that Wu Sangui is a cunning and treacherous official with two sides.

He had not been optimistic about the Ming Dynasty for a long time and did not want to fight for the Ming Dynasty to the end, so he secretly contacted the Shun Army and the Qing Army, hoping to get the maximum benefit and play both sides.

This single charge of collaborating with the enemy, if confirmed, would be enough to kill Wu Sangui's entire family, but there is currently no definite evidence.

Wu Sangui, on the other hand, held a large number of troops and was entrenched in the most important strategic location, so he was not as easy to deal with as civilian officials.

The slightest disturbance may cause him to rebel in advance.

"General Xu, at this speed, how long will it take to get to Shanhaiguan?" Zhou Lu asked Xu Da beside him.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to do the math." Xu Da took out the terrain map, calculated it, and said, "I'll tell you back to your Majesty, we can get there in two days."

In the minds of Xu Da and other ghost generals who originally belonged to the Ming Dynasty, Zhou Lu helped the Ming Dynasty and restored the country's collapse, which was tantamount to rebuilding the country. And they also recognized Zhou Lu as their lord, so they were very willing to call Zhou Lu "Your Majesty".

Zhou Lu turned around and glanced at the marching team that was winding like a long dragon.

The reconnaissance cavalry clears the way to ensure absolute safety within thirty miles.

The front army consisted of 20,000 light cavalry, divided into two wings.

The central army consisted of 30,000 heavy cavalry mixed with sword and shield infantry to protect the emperor.

The remaining rear army consists of infantry, firearms and machine battalions, as well as logistics troops for transporting grain, grass, and tents.

"It's too slow. I'm worried about the long nights and dreams."

Zhou Lu had a premonition that Wu Sangui would have unpredictable changes after knowing that Yu Jia personally went on the expedition, which might cause a lot of trouble and have a very negative impact on the Northern Expedition.

"Your Majesty is worried, and the general will know that soldiers are very fast, but this is the fastest speed at which a hundred thousand elite soldiers can march." Xu Da said.

Lu Xiangsheng also said: "Your Majesty, haste makes waste. If we speed up again, we will be fine, but the soldiers and horses will not be able to bear it."

Zhou Lu understood what Xu Da and Lu Xiangsheng meant.

The marching speed of the entire legion depends on the speed of the infantry, and all aspects must be taken into consideration.

We are now within the borders of the Ming Dynasty, there are no enemy troops around, and the Qing army is outside Shanhaiguan, so the soldiers have no sense of urgency.

This is the first time I have led troops to fight. Although I have indirect help from the knowledge base, of course, famous generals who have experienced hundreds of battles are more proficient in specific matters. Along the way, I have learned a lot from Xu Da and Lu Xiangsheng.

All options are already the most efficient ones, including the emperor himself, who travels lightly.

Originally, the emperor would ride in a luxurious and exquisite leather chariot during the expedition. He took two clothes and rode a horse and set off. He did not need a palace maid to serve him, so he brought with him Wang Chengen, a eunuch who could handle affairs and convey messages.

Just to reach Shanhaiguan as soon as possible.

In this world, there are no cars or airplanes. The fastest ones are only horses.

And even if it is a sweaty horse with blood under its buttocks, it will become exhausted after carrying people for a long time and needs to rest and eat regularly.

Zhou Lu thought briefly and summoned the system mall.

He gave the command in his mind: "Search for the mount."

There is an object in front of you.

"[Hell Horse Summoning Talisman]:

Summon the talisman to summon a hell war horse from the nightmare hell. It can run on the water and is immune to fire spells. It can also be possessed by ordinary horses to increase the horse's speed by 100%."

Exchange price: 20,000 coquettish points.

Excellent stuff!

It's just so expensive, it's the same price as summoning a ghost general.

Because more than one horse is needed, prepare one for each ghost general.

Ten ghost generals will cost 200,000 coquettish figures, not counting Zhao Yun and Diao Chan.

Zhou Lu asked: "System, is there only one kind of mount? Is there any discount for buying more?"

System: "After this system is updated, there will be higher-level mounts. This is the lowest mount and will not be discounted."

Zhou Lu: "Is it easy for me to travel back in time to this emperor who is about to lose his country and still maintain his coquettishness? For this reason, I would like to give you a discount and encourage him. Moreover, this low-level mount has the same price as the summoned ghost general.

The pricing itself is unreasonable, so let’s do this, I’ll redeem ten summoning talismans at one time, and you’ll give me a 20% discount.”

"..." The system was silent for a few seconds, "If you consume over 400,000 coquettish points, you will get a 10% discount. It can only take effect if you redeem [Hell War Horse]."

Damn, you can really negotiate the price.

Zhou Lu laughed in his heart and just gave it a try.

It increases the movement speed by 100% and greatly improves the efficiency of marching or pursuit. It will not cause fatigue and there is no need to eat. It becomes a simple matter to travel thousands of miles a day. It is a must-have item while riding it with style.

All ghost generals must be matched with one.

You need to use it anyway. If you buy twenty horses with 400,000 coquettish points, you can save 40,000 coquettish points.

"Deal." Zhou Lu said decisively.

System prompt: "The host redeems [Hell Horse Summoning Talisman] x20, which consumes 360,000 coquettish points."

Zhou Lu glanced at the coquettish points, and saw that the total number had dropped to one million, but it didn't matter, becoming an emperor's coquettish points came quickly, especially in major battles involving dozens or millions of people.

"Use five [Hell Horse Summoning Talismans]."

After Zhou Lu issued the order.

In the void ahead, a crack appeared that only he and the ghost general could see. From the crack in space, five ferocious war horses with hellfire burning on their bodies jumped out. Their eyes were as hot as lava, and their hisses were thrilling.

Xu Da, Qi Jiguang and other four ghost generals showed joy on their faces.

Which military general doesn't like the best mounts?

This hell war horse is a thousand times more powerful than an ordinary horse.

Because of its speed, immortality and durability, it will also indirectly greatly increase its combat power.

"It looks very powerful. It is indeed a hell horse. Come and possess it, my dears."

After hearing Zhou Lu's instructions from his mind, five hell horses possessed Zhou Lu and the four ghost generals got off their horses.

The five horses were suddenly shocked, and a red light as blazing as a blazing flame flashed across their eyes.

then,

Zhou Lu summoned all the generals.

He announced calmly: "Wang Chengen, Wu Kong, from now on, you will lead the team and move towards Shanhaiguan as planned."

Wu Kong was the captain of the imperial army who fought unyieldingly on the city wall. He was very young. Zhou Lu discovered that he was not only loyal and courageous, but also strong-willed and powerful, so he made an exception and gave him several levels in a row.

, promoted him to the rank of Lieutenant General.

There is no doubt about Wu Kong's loyalty, and when he was surrounded and about to die in battle, it was the emperor who saved him and promoted him in an unusual way.

He was deeply touched by the emperor's great kindness and could only repay it to his death.

"Your Majesty, what about you?"

Wang Chengen gradually got used to the emperor who didn't play by the rules, so he was not surprised by this decision.

"I will take the four generals to Shanhaiguan first to give Wu Sangui a surprise."

Wang Chengen: "..."

Eunuch Wang was still shocked.

Although he was mentally prepared, this decision once again exceeded his imagination and infinitely exceeded the limits of his expectations.

Is it enough for the emperor to conduct the expedition in person and only lead four people walking on the road?
