**The National Day continuous update ends, thank you**

Zu Dashou asked in surprise, "What?" Huan Zhen shook his head and said, "This principle is very simple. The former Majesty asked Lord Sun to send a letter to return. You forced him back with a crossbow arrow in the future. Now the commander summoned him, but you did not hesitate and replied immediately. Wouldn't that seem to be a letter from the commander's commander be a little more important than the imperial edict? If Your Majesty knew, how should you view the commander? From ancient times to the present, there has been no emperor who is willing to tolerate his prestige than himself. "You are?" Zu Dashou couldn't help but sweat when he heard what he said. He raised his hand and slapped himself hard in the face, and said, "Yes, Zu was confused and almost harmed the commander!" Although he was a talented general, the emperor's psychological speculation under these ***isms was very little. For example, such a person who had only loyalty and patriotism in his mind, he suddenly believed that the emperor was actually a villain, and it was really difficult for him to do so. Jing Huan Zhen's intimidation had no idea for a moment.

Huan Zhen smiled slightly and said, "The matters on the left and right are here, so why don't we fight for it." He lowered his voice and said, "The General Commander was not guilty, and you and I are clear. But Your Majesty imprisoned him but did not kill him. Do you know why?" Zu Dashou looked suspicious and shook his head. Huan Zhen said, "The Guanliao troops here are now, including the subordinates of you and General He, how many people are there in total?" Zu Dashou replied without hesitation, "There are more than 15,000 Jinzhou soldiers among the reinforcements, and there are about 20,000 people brought from Beijing; the subordinates are around 10,000, and General He's troops are about this number. The remaining more than 9,000 soldiers and two elite artillery battalions, totaling about 65,000."

Huan Zhen nodded and said, "If these many elite troops rebel, how will the court deal with them? Besides, Huang Taiji is planning to attack Beijing again, and the army in his belly is vulnerable and is no match for them. Your Majesty still wants to rely on our troops to resist the Tartars. If the generals of the Guan Liao were killed at this moment, they would be heartbroken, and no longer have any worries. If the morale of the army is in chaos, not to mention returning to the capital, they will definitely surrender to the Tartars. Although Huan's words are unpleasant, General Zu thought about it carefully, but what happened?" Zu Dashou's face looked very ugly and he nodded involuntarily.

Huan Zhen continued, "The reason why Your Majesty dare not kill the commander is to appease the Liao army; more importantly, he takes the commander as the qualifier and force us to return to help! This letter is probably written by Your Majesty repeatedly urged the commander to supervise the commander." As soon as he finished speaking, only one person interrupted and said, "What Baili said makes sense!" Looking in the sound, it was He Kegang. When Huan Zhen arrived just now, he personally led a team of scouts to the front, so he had never seen it.

The two of them exchanged a few greetings, and He Kegang said, "This layer of Kegang has also been a little thought, but he has not dared to speak out." Huan Zhen said, "By the power of my army, if we fight back against the Tartars, we will definitely be able to defeat it in one go. But after the Tartars retreated, the life of the Supervisor will be in danger. General Zu, General He, are you willing to watch this happen?" Zu and He shook their heads together, and He Kegang sighed, "However, besides returning to the army in accordance with the order, there are no other ways? The capital is in danger. If we really destroy the city by the enemy's soldiers, we are all sinners throughout the ages. Even if the Supervisor dies, we are afraid that we will not be at ease!"

Huan Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "I have a way to succeed and fail in half. Do you dare to give it a try?" Zu He and the others looked at each other and looked at each other for a long time. Suddenly, He Kegang shouted, "What are you hesitating about now? As long as you can rescue the governor and not violate the righteousness of the king and the country, we will all follow Baili's instructions." He was more concerned about Zu Dashou, and with the person who knew Huan Zhen on weekdays, he guessed that what he wanted to do at this moment was mostly a rebellious act without a monarch and father, so he first said the "not against the righteousness of the king and the country".

Huan Zhen didn't want to pull him and rebel. He smiled and said, "That's natural." After thinking about it, he pulled off his robe, pierced his fingertips, wrote a few lines of blood, folded the cloth sheet, and called Xiao Shen to come and said, "I have a letter here, you can hand it over to Lord Liang for me." Xiao Shen looked puzzled, took the cloth sheet and put it in his arms, bowed and left.

He Kegang asked, "Baili, what did you write?" Huan Zhen smiled slightly and said, "It's just four words: water can carry a boat."

Now he set up a camp and counted and handed over the army and horses of Jinzhou headquarters. The artillery camp was always led by Huan Zhen, and now he belonged to his subordinates. The two battalions were the chief officers and generals Zhang Zhengchao, the mastermind when Ningyuan was making money, and the other was Fang Jizu, who was in his thirties and was selected from the Dingliao Academy. Wu Sanfeng also followed Fang Jizu's camp and had already achieved guerrilla positions. When old friends met, they felt a sigh. Zhang Zhengchao was grateful for Huan Zhen's mediation, but Wu Sanfeng had a friendship with him, and he was considered his own person. Zhengchao heard that his younger brother Sishun had died in battle, so he cried and even swore to take revenge.

Huan Zhen’s reply letter was sent to Beijing, but Liang Tingdong dared not hide, so he immediately submitted it. Emperor Chongzhen saw it, and was angry and afraid. What was shocked was that his ministers dared to speak such disrespectful words to the emperor, but what was afraid of the Liao soldiers who were really determined to rescue the capital were refused? Yesterday, he received a report from Detang that the Tatar army had captured Liangxiang, Gu'an, and the magistrate of Liangxiang died in the city, but Gu'an County surrendered. Huang Taiji rushed his army to Lugou Bridge and was about to arrive within a day or two. Chongzhen had no choice but to urgently dispatch Shenfuche camp stationed in Liulin to Lugou to defend the enemy, and then transferred Mangui to defend the Yongding Gate of the southern city. Despite this, he still refused to disperse the reinforcements that had previously gathered in the capital. Perhaps in his heart, guarding himself as an emperor was the most important thing.

What made him even more shocked was that the envoy sent to report that the blood letter that seemed provocative was written by the general of Jinzhou Huan Zhen. He had never issued an edict, so he dared to leave the city privately! He also rebelled with Zu Dashou! This man was too brave! Besides, he wrote such a letter that was not arrogant. Isn't this openly challenging his authority as the emperor? Chongzhen was angry and hated, and regretted why he didn't kill him early. For a moment, he felt that his nameless heart was burning, and he drew out his sword to chop in the hall. The candlesticks and incense burners collapsed one after another. A good palace hall made him mess, which seemed to indicate the future of the Ming Dynasty, and it was so uncontrollable.

After venting, he finally had to calm down and deal with military and national affairs. Looking at the meaning of Huan Zhen's letter, he was afraid that he would have to coerce himself to release Yuan Chonghuan before he could lift the siege of the capital, otherwise he would have to be the water of a capsized boat. How could a dignified king of a country be threatened by his ministers? Chongzhen's instinct told him that he should never show weakness. But now, except for the Liao soldiers, no one can save his throne. Huang Taiji's attack on Beijing, wouldn't he even chop off his head? He also had Queen Zhou and Concubine Tian whom he loved deeply, Princess and Princess who had been born less than a year, the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed. Emperor Chongzhen fell into deep fear.

In the early morning of the 11th, the Liao soldiers took the cavalry as the front, the artillery camp was in the middle, and the infantry was behind the hall. The soldiers were directly at Yongping, leaving eight thousand troops to assist the guards. The remaining troops continued to move north to An, leaving eight thousand troops behind. The army then headed straight to Jizhou and wiped out the Tartar raids along the way, without any effort. Amin stationed outside Jizhou City, and always surrounded but did not attack. On the 16th, he heard that Huan's troops were coming, and immediately rushed to fight. In the battle, the Liao soldiers won the turtle formation with a great victory. Amin led his troops to run west and joined forces with Huang Taiji. Huan Zhen did not chase him and only drove into Jizhou to defend himself. Sun Chengzong arrived at Shanhaiguan and repeatedly wrote to Zu Dashou to details Chen Li's name and persuaded him in every way, but Zu Dashou ignored it.

It was also on the 16th that the Huang Taiji army arrived at Lugou Bridge and fought with Shen Fu's Cheying camp. The entire Cheying camp was wiped out, and Shen Fu also fought hard and died. Chongzhen urgently ordered Heiyunlong, and Madeng Yun's troops to move to the south of Yongding Gate to assist Man Gui in the guard. On the other hand, he ordered the Ministry of War to issue an edict to summon Huan Zhen and Zu Dashou returned to the rescue.
