The work of building the Yellow River embankment and dredging the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal was handed over to Li Zhizao, the Minister of Works, who had just been summoned to Beijing. In addition, Yang He's son Yang Sichang also arrived in Beijing. Zhu Yinglong issued an order to be the Minister of War and became Sun Chengzong's deputy.

Huang Taiji was extremely surprised that the Ming court in Beijing could quickly stabilize the court and sent two armies to aid Ning Yuan. He had already won the lottery this time. Even if he didn't capture Ning Yuan, he would not suffer any loss. What he was interested in now was the young man sitting on the dragon throne in Beijing, and he vaguely felt that his biggest enemy might be this young emperor under the age of eighteen.

The flags were flying on the city tower of Shanhaiguan, and the sound of wax and wax was blown by the strong north wind. Man Gui and other generals were gathering at the city gate waiting for the arrival of the commander who came out of the pass to help Ningyuan. A name they had never heard of. Man Gui and Zu Dashou were very nervous, afraid that it would be bad if the court would send a literati who did not understand soldiers. Although the name sounded very domineering, they were afraid that there would be no real material.

In addition to the title of general of Ji Town, Xiong Tingbi also held the position of Ningqiandao Censor, which facilitated the command of the troops transferred from each town.

"General Man, General Zu is here, look!" A small flag had good eyesight and suddenly found a piece of dust flying from the horizon in front of the city gate. He vaguely saw a scattered horse galloping towards him.

"Oh, hurry up, telescope!" This was specially prepared by Zhu Yinglong for him before Yuan Chonghuan left, and asked him to distribute it to the generals. Man Gui couldn't let go of it when he saw it. He was so dear, even more close to his own flesh and blood. He felt uncomfortable all over without seeing it, and he cherished it so much that he wiped it several times a day.

Through the telescope, Man Gui clearly saw a middle-aged general wearing silver armor and a golden rust robe on his chest. He said that the Qilin replenishment was a first-class military general. He had fought for the court for so many years and made so many military achievements. He was not qualified to pass on the Qilin replenishment. He was a man who was infamous. He was just serving the emperor when he was the king of kings. He even wore the Qilin replenishment. Man Gui felt a little dissatisfied and put down the telescope in his hand. The court should not send an embroidered pillow. Supervisor, you are so hung up this time. He slapped the solid city bricks with anger, which scared the ancestors and generals around him.

"Man Madman, what are you doing?" Man Gui was crazy as soon as he went to the battlefield. When he started, the situation changed color. All the generals and officials with his fortifications were used to calling him "Man Madman". Of course, people who were one level lower than him dared not shout like this. Be careful that he would discount his ribs. Zu Dashou was on par with him and had a similar status, so there was no problem calling him like this.

"Zu Dapao, what do you think the court is doing? I have to send someone to come and send the soldiers over and let me lead the troops?" Man Gui muttered dissatisfied.

"A madman, please say less. Don't think that there is no military supervisor now. You can speak nonsense. The court is still civil servants and generals. Be careful when you and I speak. If the censors hear it, they will be punished by you again!" Zu Dashou hurriedly scolded him in a low voice.

"Zu Dapao, your nickname is Dapao. Lao Man sees that you are less courageous than the needle hole." Man Gui gestured at him with his little finger disapproval.

"I'm even more courageous than my heart. I'll tell you, look at me carefully. Maybe one night I'll secretly lead my troops to help the supervisor. I can't watch my brother-in-law suffer in the military camp of Jiancheng!" Zu Dashou glared at Mangui fiercely and said with a red look. Thinking of his poor brother-in-law and his sister's family, Zu Dashou couldn't calm down. How could he not know that Mangui came to Shanhaiguan to watch him and prevent him from impulsively sending troops to rescue Ningyuan and was caught by Huang Taiji's trick. Fortunately, Mangui looked at him. If Mangui had taken another step late, he might have set off.

"I won't say anything. When the person is here, hurry up and go down to greet him. I don't know who the other party is. We must not offend him at the moment." Mangui is bold and meticulous, with a rough and heroic appearance, but in fact he is as delicate as hair. Otherwise, Yuan Chonghuan would not have sent him to see Zu Dashou.

Xiong Tingbi was riding on the horse, feeling extremely excited. It was five years since then, as if it was yesterday. Today, he returned to Shanhaiguan again. Five years ago, he was almost doomed to death and even brought a great reputation. Today, the original Xiong Tingbi was dead, leaving only the dominant ruler who was loyal to the emperor.

Mangui and Zu Dashou led all the generals at Shanhai Pass to welcome the army rushing to Ningyuan from the city gate.

Xiong Tingbi stopped in front of Man Gui and others, jumped off the horse, and walked towards the two of them. Naturally, he was familiar with these two people. When he was the governor of Liaodong, these two people had already obeyed his orders. Five years were short, but not long. At first sight, he almost couldn't recognize him. Man Gui was originally black, but now he was getting darker and thinner. Zu Dashou was also with high cheekbones and calluses. These were all obtained by cutting and killing with a knife. Ning Yuan was too bitter.

The army that was temporarily pieced together was not good, and the rescue was like putting out a fire. It would be good to rely on this army to break the siege of Ningyuan. It would be good if the generals of the towns behind Xiong Tingbi were not allowed to be made into dumplings. Those who were not seen by Xiong Tingbi would obey his command. The army was a place where he relied on the platoon of resources to look at the history. If he was airborne to be the head coach like him, his generals would not necessarily obey him. If he could be trained slowly in normal times, it would not work now. The feasible solution was to be in the third place.

The army had established its authority before and was able to convince the public with its might. Kill a few soldiers who did not obey the orders and shocked other soldiers who did not obey the orders. However, it was not appropriate to do so now. The soldiers who pieced together had very poor combat effectiveness and had always neglected training. Even if they were integrated, they could obey his orders. They were still dead when they had to deal with the Eight Banners of the Later Jin Dynasty that had been fighting for many years. Since he was ordered in danger, he had already had an idea in his mind, but he had to wait until he saw Man Gui and Zu Dashou before he could speak out.

Man Gui and Zu Dashou walked to Xiong Tingbi about three feet away, and were about to hold their fists to see the ceremony in the army, but suddenly they found that the person in front of them looked very familiar, as if they had seen it somewhere, but they even forgot to speak with their fists in their arms.

"Two generals, why don't you speak when you see Xiong?" Xiong Tingbi had already guessed that they might feel familiar with each other, and was stunned.

By the way, it was the familiar voice. A person's appearance could change, but his voice would not change, especially in terms of behavior and expression, the more he looked, the more he looked like. Man Gui and Zu Dashou's eyes met, and his eyes were filled with shock. What was more surprising than a dead person standing in front of him?

"Zu Dashou, the general of Shanhaiguan, has met the commander!" Zu Dashou suppressed the shock in his heart and hurriedly bowed to the courtesy. With Xiong Tingbi's current identity, he is actually a little different from Zu Dashou, but he is now the commander who is rushing to help Ningyuan. It is not an exaggeration to call Zu Dashou this, especially he has already suspected that the real identity of the commander who aided Liao is Xiong Tingbi, the dead Liaodong marshal.

Man Gui was shocked at the heart of Zu Dashou. The two were both under Xiong Tingbi's tent and were naturally very familiar with the commander. They wrote a letter together to ask the court to relieve Xiong Tingbi of his crime. Later, the head was reported to the Nine-side. Man Gui shed two lines of tears when he saw the unrecognizable head.
