Chapter 26 Tongzhou Chaos
Almost at the same time, Baoding governor returned to the backyard of the yamen and was about to take a good rest when he heard a panic from far and near: "Master, it's not good, it's not good... "

Hearing the preaching of the scriptures, he was terrified. This matter is related to his future. If he does well, his future will be great.

He pushed away the concubine who was warming the bed, hurriedly put on his clothes, and shouted loudly: "What are you panicking about?"

"Master, Jianlu... The army of Jianlu is coming!" the servant who reported reported panicked.

With a sound of "Plop", I saw that the scriptures were so frightened that I sat down on the ground, then stood up like crazy, regardless of whether the official uniform was not properly put on, I strode out, and at the same time shouted: "Quick, quick pass, close the city gate!" , Prepare the army for war!"

This time, he returned to the top of the city as fast as he could.What he saw made him heave a sigh of relief. The flow of people heading to Zhangjiawan was like countless ants in a panic, still rushing to transport grain.Most of them are still rushing to Zhangjiawan, only a small number of people have already carried grain on their shoulders and ran back.

In the distance, cavalry troops scattered were rushing towards this side. At this time, they were being affected from one point to the other, and cavalry troops from other directions were also running towards the city.As for the shadow of Jianlu, I haven't seen it yet.

Those general soldiers, such as Hei Yunlong, Ma Dengyun, etc., probably just got the report, are rushing to the top of the city to gather around the governor of Baoding.

After reading the biography of the scriptures, he immediately asked, "Why is the city gate still open? What about the Jianlu army? How many Jianlu troops are there?"

"..." No one could answer, and some were just silent in bewilderment.

After a long time, the general in charge of this section of the city finally responded: "Hui Zhongcheng, there are people inside and outside the city, and the city gate can't be closed at all!"

"What are you still doing in a daze, the sound of gongs as a warning, the burning of grain, and the soldiers from outside the city returning to their camps quickly, and forming an army near the city!" The commentary went mad.

The sound of "Dangdangdangdang" made the flow of people outside the city stop for an instant. After looking around, they all rushed back to Tongzhou City in unison. At the same time, accompanied by a wider range of crying father and mother, more People are being trampled on, but no one can control anyone!
After a while, more and more cavalry came back, but they couldn't enter the city, so they had to gather near the city wall.

Although the scriptures on the top of the city are in this cold winter, their foreheads are sweating, and people ask these cavalry soldiers about the situation of the Jianlu army.But I found that no one could tell the specific situation, either that there were many, or that they saw some cavalry running first, and they followed suit.

Xie Jingzhuan suddenly had a bad feeling, because he was on the front line, and he knew more or less the urine nature of these ****.

At this moment, a puff of smoke rose from the Caoliang side of Zhangjiawan, apparently starting to set fire to the grain.

In the distance, more and more cavalry troops fled back, and they all ran back desperately.Behind the last cavalry, the shadow of Jianlu finally appeared, recklessly harvesting the last Ming cavalry who fled.

At this moment, Jiejing Chuan completely panicked, and quickly ordered: "Quick, close the city gate!"

"Zhongcheng, all the people are flocking to the city now, and it can't be closed at all!" The general was sweating profusely.

Outside the city gate, it was indeed full of people, not only the common people, but even the King Qin's army who were supposed to go back to the barracks outside the city were all dazed and flocked into the city one after another.It would be strange if the city gate could be closed with so many people!

The sweat on the brow of Xie Jingzhuan was dripping down. If Jianlu took advantage of the trend to attack the city, it would definitely be over!
He panicked, and hurriedly ordered loudly and roared: "Hurry up, tell them not to enter the city!"

Then, he turned his head and ordered to the general soldiers: "Quickly, let your servants regroup, and make sure to stop Jianlu from approaching before the city gate is closed!"

"Zhongcheng, the cavalry army has just withdrawn, and their morale has been lost, and they have no subordinates before, so they can't fight!" Hei Yunlong immediately complained.

What he said was indeed the truth, and the other chief soldiers also shouted, saying that there was no way to stop the family cavalry outside the city from going to meet the enemy.

"Are you just watching Jianlu take the opportunity to attack the city? Tongzhou City is destroyed, you and I will die!" The commentary went crazy, "Don't forget, the emperor just issued an imperial decree, no matter whether it is real or not, he will be killed without mercy. !"

They all felt the emperor's determination from the imperial decree, knowing that this matter might not be a joke.In a hurry, Ma Dengyun suddenly clasped his fists and said: "Lord Zhongcheng, the only way to close the city gate is to cut off the flow of people now!"

Hearing the biography of the scriptures, he was slightly stunned. He turned his head to look at the crowd swarming in outside the city gate, and suddenly understood what his suggestion was.

If this kind of thing is known by political opponents in normal times, they will definitely attack, but at this time the two sides weigh the lesser, and there is no other way.

"Shan, this matter is up to you, go quickly, and the city gate must be closed within a quarter of an hour!" Xie Jingzhuan's face was a little grim, and he ordered loudly.

Ma Dengyun didn't think that this job would fall on him, and when he was about to refuse, he found that the eyes of the interpreter looking at him seemed to be eating people, so he had no choice but to cup his fists and accept the order: "The last general obeys!"

After a while, at the head of Tongzhou City, above the city gate, the rolling wood and rocks used to defend the city suddenly fell, and the unsuspecting people below were suddenly smashed into crying fathers and mothers. The door was finally closed.

Soon, the people outside the city came back to their senses, knowing that they could not enter the city. The cry suddenly shook for dozens of miles, and everyone went crazy in despair. They either fled in all directions, or surrounded the city, thinking Get as close to the city as possible.In this panic, an unknown number of people were trampled to death.

On the top of the city, Xie Jingchuan and others breathed a sigh of relief, and finally closed the city gate.Only then did they raise their heads to observe Jianlu in the distance.

But after seeing this, even the governor of Baoding, who had never fought against Jianlu, saw something strange.He immediately turned around and looked at the general soldiers beside him, with a face full of anger, he roared loudly: "What the hell is going on?"

Besides, Cao Huachun got the emperor's permission, so he immediately reported: "Your Majesty, when the servants came back, they saw that many imperial officials had gathered at the Meridian Gate, and some officials from the Six Departments seemed to be saying that if the emperor stayed, they would come back." Again, it's very noisy..."

Hearing this, Hu Guang already understood.I am afraid that these censors can guess that their handling method is to stay in the middle school, so they want to imitate the great etiquette dispute during the Jiajing period outside the Meridian Gate, and prepare to kneel down collectively.At that time, these civil servants were proud of receiving the imperial staff, and each of them seemed to regard death as home, so the mighty Emperor Jiajing was given a headache by them!

"You don't need to say anything, I know what's going on!" Hu Guang's face suddenly became a little grim, "Dare to play the same game with me, ha ha!"
