Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 299 Kong Sizhen

After receiving the battle reports from Huang Degong and Qi Dazhuang, Li Cunming saw that his blitzkrieg had achieved great results and blocked Kong Youde's retreat, so he personally led 7 troops to Chenliu and joined Gong Yonggu's army.

Chenliu's 12 Qing soldiers have been fighting hard for several days, and they are in a stalemate with Gong Yonggu's [-] Ming troops. Suddenly, Emperor Chongzhen led troops to support, and the number of Ming troops increased to [-]. The Qing soldiers could no longer hold on. up.

At dawn on this day, Chen Liushou ordered Guoan to break out of the encirclement.Xian Guoan is Kong Youde's confidant general, he is brave in battle, his ability is not inferior to Wu Shijun, and he has always been highly regarded by Kong Youde.

Xian Guoan personally led [-] soldiers to rush out from the north gate. The soldiers knew that only by breaking out of the Ming army's encirclement could they survive, so they put on a desperate posture.At daybreak, this army finally escaped.

Suddenly someone panicked and shouted: "General Xian, it's not good, Miss Zhen who has been cut off is entangled by a Ming army and can't get away!"

"Oh, follow me and fight back!" Xian Guoan was extremely anxious, calling for thousands of people to turn their horses and fight back.

The so-called Miss Zhen refers to Kong Youde's daughter Kong Sizhen. She followed her father in the war since she was a child. Although she was a girl, she had a strong temperament and was a bit unruly. She liked to hang out in the military camp.

When the Battle of Chenliu broke out, Kong Sizhen was in the city.The army broke out, and after she took the initiative to cut off her tassel, she was tightly entangled by the pursuing Ming army and found it difficult to escape.

At this time, Kong Sizhen was ten miles away from Chenliu City, commanding his soldiers to fight to the death.Coincidentally, Princess Changping happened to be among the pursuing Ming army, and she couldn't help being a little surprised when she saw Kong Sizhen from afar.

"Did you see that general of the Qing army?" Princess Changping asked the guard beside her.

The guard looked up and said, "Hey, this man is not very old, about fourteen or five years old, with a thin skin and tender flesh, how did he become a general? Judging by his attire, he is at least a deputy commander."

"Just watch me take his life!" Princess Changping bowed her bow and set an arrow, raising her willow eyebrows slantingly.

At this moment, the helmet on Kong Sizhen's head fell off, and her black hair spread out like a black waterfall.

"Ah, it's a young woman!" Princess Changping was taken aback, she was stunned for a while, and forgot to shoot the arrow.

Just then, the troops led by Guoan rushed back, fought their way to Kong Sizhen, and without saying a word, gave her mount a whip.The war horse neighed and fled at lightning speed carrying Kong Sizhen on its back.

"General Xian, I am in full swing of murderous intent, who asked you to cause trouble?" Kong Sizhen's unwilling shouts floated in the wind.

Princess Changping put down her bow and arrow, smiled slightly and said, "It's a pity that the female general ran away."

After the battle, Princess Changping ordered a prisoner to be found and asked, "Tell me, who is the female general who escaped?"

"She is the daughter of the obedient King Kong Youde, named Kong Sizhen. She likes to disguise herself as a man and serve in the army, but her temperament is very irritable and explosive. We call her 'tiger' in private."

"Oh, it turned out to be Kong Youde's daughter, I should shoot her to death!"

Princess Changping was quite annoyed, she thought to herself, Kong Sizhen is not an ordinary woman, if she meets her in the future, she will have to compete with her.

……

But Kong Sizhen fled all the way north, scolding all the way: "Xian Guoan, who told you to meddle in your own business, who told you to rescue me, do I need your rescue? Joke!"

Xian Guoan knew Kong Sizhen's temperament well, so he didn't answer.

Kong Sizhen raised the whip in his hand towards Xian Guoan, put it down again, and said: "For the sake of being my father's confidant general, I don't care about you. Next time, let's see how I whip you!"

"Miss, as long as you are alive, I will eventually be willing to be beaten to death by you." Xian Guoan laughed.

"Don't call me Miss, call me General Kong!" Kong Sizhen got angry and urged his mount to ride away.

Returning to King Gongshun's mansion in Kaifeng City, after seeing Kong Youde, Kong Sizhen said angrily: "Father, I am so mad, so mad..."

Kong Youde looked gloomy and in a bad mood, and didn't bother to ask what was going on, so he interrupted his daughter and said, "Don't make noise, I have a lot to say, follow me to the hall. Guoan, you can come too."

Xian Guoan followed Kong's father and daughter to the hall, but saw a sumptuous banquet in the hall, and all the people participating in the banquet were Kong Youde's family, and there was no outsider.

He then said: "My lord, the last general dare not disturb your reunion with your family, so I bid farewell!"

"This banquet is specially prepared for you, don't refuse!" Kong Youde grabbed Xian Guoan's arm and pulled him to sit at the banquet table.

After drinking a glass of wine, Kong Youde glanced at everyone present, and said eagerly: "There are no outsiders here, so I'll just say it straight. The Ming army is powerful, and the Emperor Chongzhen personally marched. The situation in Kaifeng is unpredictable, and I don't have any confidence in my heart."

Kong Sizhen opened his mouth to speak, but Kong Youde waved his hand and said, "Don't interrupt, just listen to me. Now all the ferries on the south bank of the Yellow River are in the hands of the Ming army, blocking our way of retreat. Once we arrive at Xiangcheng, we will arrive at Zhuxian Town within a few days. When the 30 troops of the Ming army are all gathered around Kaifeng City, our army will be encircled by heavy troops."

"Father, what exactly do you want to say?" Kong Sizhen was a little impatient.

Kong Youde ignored her, poured a glass of wine for Xian Guoan himself, and said, "General Xian, how do I treat you? If you feel that I am worthy of you, please drink this glass to the full."

"Prince Gongshun, your kindness to me is greater than the sky and the earth!" Xian Guoan drank the wine in fear, and hurriedly knelt down.

Kong Youde supported Xian Guoan, and sighed: "General Xian, I have an important task for you, please protect Sizhen and Tingxun and leave Kaifeng quickly, and then go to Xingze, and cross the Yellow River north from there. Send these two children to the capital."

"What?" Xian Guoan said in surprise.

Kong Youde straightened his clothes and bowed seriously to Xian Guoan: "Please, General Xian, I rely on you to protect the bloodline of my Kong family!"

"My lord..." Xian Guoan suddenly burst into tears, he saw that Kong Youde was asking for help, and hurriedly persuaded, "If your lord feels that you can't defend Kaifeng City, why don't we go together!"

"No, I can't leave! Firstly, the late emperor showed me kindness and I can't let him down; secondly, I will stick to Kaifeng. If unfortunately I die in battle, I can gain merit for the descendants of the Kong family, and the court will treat them well. "

Hearing what Kong Youde said, the people present began to cry, especially his aunts and wives, who wept bitterly.

Kong Sizhen shouted: "My daughter will not leave, but she will stay with her father!"

"Sizhen, you have to take good care of your elder brother, understand?" Kong Youde said.

Kong Tingxun, Kong Sizhen's elder brother, was a playboy. He only knew how to idle around, fight chickens and lackeys.In Kong Youde's heart, he dotes on Kong Sizhen even more, but she is a daughter, and the incense of the Kong family has to be continued by Kong Tingxun.

People in the hall were crying, but Kong Tingxun was drinking alcohol, as if what was happening had nothing to do with him.

Kong Sizhen glanced at her brother and realized what her father was thinking. She nodded and said, "My daughter will take good care of my brother. Father, please rest assured!"

"Go, go, leave tonight!" Kong Youde urged.

As night fell, Xian Guoan led [-] soldiers to secretly escort the Kong brothers and sisters out of the city, running wildly all the way west.

Kong Sizhen lifted the curtains of the carriage and looked out, only to see the darkness of the night, she turned her head to look at the dark city of Kaifeng, her heart was in turmoil.

Winter is coming, and snowflakes are falling in the night sky.
