    (Suddenly I discovered that there is an additional alliance leader, so thank you to Jianran Qingyi Yan Shuyou. And to all the book friends who gave rewards and voted for me, I also want to thank you. I estimate that there are about ten chapters left in this book, or more or less, it won¡¯t be too far off.  ) The entire Ming Dynasty was paying attention to Sun Chuanting's rescue mission, and Sun Chuanting lived up to expectations. After he left the border, he easily occupied a large area of ????Henan Prefecture, including the capital city of Luoyang and other places.  In early October, his vanguard even appeared at Hulao Pass, directing his troops towards Kaifeng Fucheng.  Facing the menacing Sun Chuanting's army, the bandit Li Zicheng's tribe seemed to be discouraged. On the eighth day of October, the hundreds of thousands of bandits who besieged Kaifeng Mansion actually gave up the siege and retreated in embarrassment towards Nanyang Mansion.  After being besieged for several months, the city of Kaifeng, which was always in danger, was easily relieved.  When Sun Chuanting led his Supervisor Battalion and thousands of Shaanxi cavalry to Kaifeng Mansion, he couldn't believe his eyes when faced with the people of Kaifeng City who cheered and welcomed him. He just won like this?  Did you really win?  As if in a dream, infinite joy surged into Sun Chuanting's heart. This bet was indeed the right one!  He immediately reported his victory to the court and said in the victory report: "The thieves were all defeated when they heard the name of the minister! I swear to be clear about Henan, and I will not worry about the emperor and my father with a thief!" When Tang Ma sent his victory report to the capital, the entire capital was shocked.  Emperor Chongzhen was overjoyed to receive the report. He happily handed Sun Chuanting's report of victory to the courtiers for circulation. He shouted happily: "The thieves will be destroyed soon! It is better to prepare the troops, take advantage of the victory to pursue them, and destroy them all with one drum."  Thief!" He impatiently sent an order to Sun Chuanting in Kaifeng Fucheng, asking him to lead his troops south and wipe out the thieves with one blow.  At the same time, he also ordered the officials, soldiers, and engineering ministries to urge the governor of each town, Fu Xing, to quickly take up his post and to cross the river with the entire brigade.  All the prefectures in Hebei Province quickly transported grain and grass to support the governor.  He also said sternly that anyone who dares to delay his delivery should not avoid it and will be severely punished.  But whether to let Sun Chuanting go south or not, there was also a dispute among the courtiers at this time.  One faction believed that the bandits were vulnerable to attack and Shaanxi's soldiers and horses were strong, as evidenced by Sun's easy lifting of the siege of Kaifeng this time.  Let the Shaanxi soldiers and horses move south quickly and wipe out most of the bandits in one fell swoop, without giving them a chance to breathe, lest they come back again.  One faction is the prudent faction, headed by Chen Xinjia, Minister of the Ministry of War, and others. They pointed out that this may be a strategy of the bandits to show weakness and lure the enemy.  The purpose is to delay the food supply of the officers and soldiers. "The thieves see themselves in trouble to lure our division. This is a taboo in the art of war. I cannot worry about it." Chen Xinjia also provided intelligence, which can be clearly analyzed. After Sun Chuanting entered Henan,  They faced only a few rogue garrison troops, or even empty cities.  It¡¯s not like thieves don¡¯t have business in Henan.  This situation only shows that they adopted the strategy of luring the enemy in depth, with the purpose of attracting officers and soldiers to pursue them.  Prolong one's own food path.  The bandits even fortified the walls and cleared the country, transferring most of the population and materials. In this way, even if the officers and soldiers occupied the city of bandits, their own side would not be able to capture it.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: There is no food in Kaifeng, and there is no food in all parts of Henan.  With this army passing by, how can we solve the problem of food and grass?  We can only transport grain all the way from Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places. This kind of labor and labor is so laborious. Thinking about the length of the grain road front, it really makes people shudder!  The siege of Kaifeng has now been lifted.  There is no urgent need for the capture of the feudal lord of Fucheng, so it is better to take steps step by step.  The words of Chen Xinjia and others made Emperor Chongzhen extremely disappointed. He wanted to revive the Ming Dynasty, so he was so eager to destroy the bandits. The opportunity was right in front of him, so how could he give up?  In the end, he was too lazy to listen to anything Chen Xinjia said, and even didn't see anyone else. He only sent imperial edicts to Henan to urge him.  At this time, Sun Chuanting also calmed down. Thinking about the war situation after leaving the border, the bandits were indeed suspected of luring the enemy deeper.  After the bandits became more powerful, it was not like he had never fought against them. For example, in the Tongguan War some time ago, they were not so vulnerable.  With everything in front of them, they are indeed suspected of showing weakness on purpose and with ulterior motives.  "After the Shaanxi army reoccupied Luoyang, his staff actually made suggestions to use Luoyang as a base to repair the battlements, recruit refugees, and open up farmland.  In this way, you can fight when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat. When the time is right, you can then move eastward or southward to wipe out the bandits.  He also remembered the warnings of Wen Shiyan and others. Now that Kaifeng is resolving the siege, it should indeed be done step by step, but Sun Chuanting regretted that the big words in the victory report had already been spoken out. Now the emperor was very anxious, and the imperial edicts he sent became more and more eager.  More severe than one.  Sun Chuanting was ultimately afraid of the imperial orders and did not dare to stay. With a sense of luck and hope of eventuality, he led his troops to Nanyang in October.  ¡­ ¡­ It is extremely cold in Saibei in November, and the goose-feather-like snow comes overwhelmingly. Walking in the snow, your body will be covered with a thick layer, like cotton.  Zhong Susu is in a hurryEntering the meeting hall of the Protectorate, she was immediately greeted by a sense of warmth. The fire burning in the wall of the hall cheered her up, and the thick heat dispelled the chill on her body.  She took off her cloak and handed it to the guard next to her. She saw several guards standing in the hall. They all stood upright and had serious expressions, but there was a hint of panic in their expressions, as did Zhong Tiaoyang.  Standing there with a cold face.  Zhong Susu stepped forward and whispered: "Brother Zhong, how are you?" Zhong Tiaoyang sighed: "The general is in a very bad mood. He didn't eat at noon." Zhong Susu said ah, and she said hurriedly: "At the end of the day  I'll go in and take a look." Zhong Tiaoyang pondered for a while and nodded.  Zhong Susu walked into the flower hall cautiously and saw Wang Dou sitting in front of the window in a daze. He was holding a wine glass in his hand and looking outside, motionless.  "General" Seeing Wang Dou like this, Zhong Susu suddenly felt heartache, and she called out with a trembling voice.  Wang Dou still sat dumbly. For a long time, he let out a sigh, his voice was long and like a groan: "The officers and soldiers were defeated again, Sun Chuanting's entire army was wiped out, and he himself also died on the battlefield." He sighed quietly: "History  The inertia is so strong, is everything I do useless?" Zhong Susu said sadly: "General, how can I blame you? Everything you do is seen by the generals. This plan depends on people and the success depends on God.  ¡­¡± She was so sad that she didn¡¯t know what to say and was a little confused.  Wang Dou just shook his head.  He looked at the fluttering snowflakes outside and felt sad: "Brother Zhong, I'm a little scared. I think that Wang Dou, like me, has been struggling so hard to achieve everything in front of him. I'm afraid that everything in front of me will also disappear."  "No" Look at Wang Dou's painful look.  The man who was as powerful as a god in the past seemed to be about to collapse. Zhong Susu's heart felt like a knife. She rushed to Wang Dou's feet, hugged his legs and cried: "General, don't be like this. I feel so sad when I see the general."  With tears streaming down her face, she said louder: "Yes, it's all that Sun Chuanting's fault. He told him time and time again that he should be careful at every step. Didn't he know that he fell into the trap of such a superficial trick?"  "Wang Dou sighed: "You can't blame him, he can't help it, maybe this is his fate." Looking at Zhong Susu's appearance, he smiled: "Okay, don't cry anymore.  How come the general is crying like a child?" He cheered up.  Said: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Brother Zhong is here, please come and have a few drinks with me." Zhong Susu broke into tears and smiled, and she said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I will drink with the general in the end." She looked around and said  : "Why is there wine but no food? Alas, General, it's not good to drink on an empty stomach According to what General Mo said, the matter of the Protector's Mansion has been decided, and it's time for General to call Sister Xie and the others up. There are people around  These clumsy men don't know how to serve." She said, looking around, frowning, and said: "If this is not the case, the general also knows that my family is good at cooking.  Why don't you go to my house and I'll ask Sister Yunluo to make some delicious dishes to go with the wine." Wang Dou said, "It's okay, let's change the environment and change the mood." The two came out and saw that Wang Dou was in a better mood.  Going to Zhong Susu's house for a drink, Zhong Tiaoyang and all the guards breathed a sigh of relief, and many of the guards were even more happy.  Zhong Tiaoyang said hurriedly: "It's snowing outside. Quickly bring the general's cloak and robes and, by the way, the sleeve stove." The guards had already prepared the carriage, and everyone came out to look outside.  Snowflakes are flying in the air, full of the smell of ice and snow.  Wang Dou said: "It's such a heavy snow." Then he got into the carriage, and Zhong Susu followed.  Seeing the heavily guarded carriage driving away under strict protection, many concerned people breathed a sigh of relief. When the news of Sun Chuanting's defeat came, and when they heard that the Protector-General and the General were captured, Yongning Hou Wang Dou Lei was furious and saddened.  At that time, I don¡¯t know how many people in Guihua City felt anxious. But now they are feeling better. The weather has cleared up after the rain.  Unknowingly, Wang Dou¡¯s every move, sadness and joy, affected the hearts of countless people.   The carriage and horses arrived at Zhong Susu's house. A gentle woman was waiting at the door. She had a slender figure, a delicate and soft face, and her black and silky hair was casually pulled into a bun. She was Zhong Susu's wife. After hearing the news, she rushed  Li Yunluo was greeted.  She only came to Guihua City last month, but her adopted sons and daughters all stayed in Xuanfu Town to study.  When Wang Dou got out of the car, she was just about to salute, but Zhong Susu was alreadyAfter calming down, she said continuously: "Sister Yunluo, hurry up and cook some special dishes. I want to have a good drink with the general." Li Yunluo was a little surprised, and her clear eyes struck Wang Dou in the face.  After a sudden change, Wang Dou gave up and told her not to be polite, so Li Yunluo confessed and went to the mansion to organize things.  The wine was warm on the copper stand, the charcoal fire was burning on the table, and some exquisite delicacies were served. Wang Dou and Zhong Susu were enjoying the snow and drinking in the flower hall, while they talked about some interesting things, especially in the past at Shunxiang Fort, Baoanzhou City and other places.  thing.  Listening to Zhong Susu's chirping, Wang Dou felt much relieved from his depression.  The two laughed from time to time. When Wang Dou mentioned something interesting, Zhong Susu's eyes would sparkle, sometimes with a hint of shyness.  After drinking all afternoon, both of them felt that they still had more to drink, so they continued drinking in the evening, but in Zhong Susu's study.  This place is also decorated like a boudoir, with a big bed and a Nanjing Babu bed. It seems that Zhong Susu is also a person who pays attention to life.  Zhong Tiaoyang and a group of guards have been driven far away by Zhong Susu, so as not to interfere with her drinking with the general.  I don¡¯t know how long they drank, but both of them were quite drunk, and Wang Dou was even more drunk.  Zhong Susu helped Wang Dou to go to bed to rest. The two of them staggered and were a little unsteady. When Wang Dou fell onto the bed, Zhong Susu accidentally fell off and fell into Wang Dou's arms.  Zhong Susu let out a cry. She was happy and ashamed, her face was covered with a layer of blush, she jumped up and ran away.  Wang Dou was in a daze, and smiled at this moment, thinking: "This is Zhong Susu." I don't know how long it took, but Wang Dou saw Zhong Susu standing in front of him again in a daze.  The crimson robe and the swollen and tall breasts have restored the appearance of a girl.  Under the palace lantern, her long eyelashes kept trembling, which was quite charming.  When their eyes met, they saw that her face was as red as blood and she lowered her head in shame.  Then she bravely raised her head to look at Wang Dou, and heard her trembling voice say: "General, please forgive me for being rude." She gently opened her belt, and the crimson robe fell along her  The fragrant shoulders slipped.
