"The Divine Decree has arrived!"

In Datong Pass, Eunuch Yao stood in the middle of the hall with two small yellow doors, dragging a long voice and preaching loudly.

A group of generals, under the leadership of the chief soldier Chen Rui, dressed up and led the order.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor system said: ....... Datong General Army, Pingjiang Bo Chen Rui, fearing the enemy, arguing the enemy is unknown....... deeply disappointed. It will be delivered immediately, and I will return to Beijing to report on my work, Qinzai!"

Eunuch Yao finished reading it out in a frustrated manner, held the holy decree in his hand, looked at Chen Ruipi and said with a smile: "Uncle Chen, let's take the decree." ”

Ping Jiangbo's face was pale, and he trembled and stretched out his hands to take it, shouting to thank him. Next to him, guerrilla Wang Gao and general Qin Gong got up and helped him up. Under the eyes of the two sides, they all looked worried and frightened.

Uncle Pingjiang took a long breath and calmed down slightly, and then he took the holy decree to the back and placed it, but he took a step forward, approached Eunuch Yao and whispered: "Father-in-law, can you tell me which lord in the capital will take over the post of the last general?"

Eunuch Yao coughed lightly, took it quietly, the wrinkles on his face were like dried orange peels, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has worshiped the former governor of Shaanxi, the governor of Shaanxi, Ma Zhengshi, and Lord Yang Yiqing Yang as the trilateral commander-in-chief, and the general command of the military affairs of the border gates in various places. As for the person who came to temporarily replace the uncle this time, it is the new servant Shaoqing and the two-sided envoy Su Mosu Gongzi. ”

Ping Jiangbo was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses: "But that Yan City boy?"

Eunuch Yao nodded and said, "Yes!"

Ping Jiangbo's eyes sank slightly, and after thinking about it, he said, "That...... Su Gongzi, ah no, is it Lord Su right now, and when will the last general be delivered to him?"

Eunuch Yao showed a meaningful smile on his face, looked at him deeply, and said hesitantly: "Master Su, I occasionally felt a cold yesterday, and at this time I was stationed in Wuli Village, which is thirty miles away. As for when you will come....... hehe, it's hard to say. Maybe it will arrive tomorrow, or it may not arrive until seven or eight days, it all depends on whether Master Su's condition improves or not. Ping Jiangbo, did you say that?"

Chen Rui was stunned for a moment, then ecstatic, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, yes, Lord Su has a heavy responsibility, and if he is sick, he must not be neglected." You should also take care of your body, and you will understand, understand. As he spoke, he shoved two more pieces of silver.

Eunuch Yao's old face seemed to be blooming, nodded with satisfaction, and looked left and right: "So that Uncle Chen knows that this time, the miscellaneous family was promoted by Su Shaoqing, and in addition to coming over to deliver the decree, he also served as a messenger of the prison army." Next, I will stay in the city first, first, waiting for Su Shaoqing to arrive, and second, I have to make a good front stop in advance, Uncle Chen, I will bother you to bother with it in the next few days, and I will arrange it for the miscellaneous family. ”

Chen Rui understood in seconds, and laughed: "Oh, look at what my father-in-law said, this is an internal matter, why bother to say it." Come, go to the back, and let the father-in-law prepare the best garden. ”

Someone shouted yes and turned away.

Chen Rui turned around and said, "Then I asked my father-in-law to go and take a bath first, I should be tired all the way." And in the evening, the end will hold a banquet in the Chunfeng Building to catch the wind for the father-in-law, and please don't excuse the father-in-law. At that time, there will be a presentation of the ceremony, but I hope that my father-in-law will accept it with a smile. ”

Eunuch Yao smiled and couldn't see his teeth, and waved his hand again and again: "How to make this, how to make this." ”

Chen Rui's face sank, and he pretended to be displeased and said: "Eh, how can this not be done? My father-in-law is running around for the country and has worked hard, and I and other generals feel the same way, and we should have our share." Isn't my father-in-law looking down on me?"

Eunuch Yao was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing, laughing like a night owl crying: "This...... This, that...... But it's disrespectful?"

Ping Jiangbo laughed and nodded, "That's right." Father-in-law, please!" he said, stretching out his hand sideways to invite.

Eunuch Yao was full of ambition and took the lead, and the two eunuchs behind him hurriedly followed.

Ping Jiangbo watched the group turn around the corner with a smile on his face, until he couldn't see it at all, then he suddenly smiled, his face showed a gray and miserable color, and the whole person suddenly seemed to be ten years old.

The guerrilla Wang Gao next to him hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and said worriedly: "Commander-in-chief, what should I do now?" On the other side, Qin Gong also hurriedly helped him, looking at him expectantly.

Chen Rui turned his head to look at the two of them, and sighed: "What else is there? By the way, immediately let people prepare a generous gift and send it to Wulizhai overnight, without delay. Remember, be generous, you know?"

Qin Gong hesitated and said: "Commander-in-chief, it's all here, is it too late to give gifts? Is it necessary? For example, these scholars are the most pedantic and high-minded, and they are only afraid that if they don't accept this gift, it will not be beautiful. ”

Wang Gao also nodded again and again, and echoed: "Commander-in-chief, I'm afraid what Brother Qin said is unreasonable, so you should think twice." ”

Chen Rui struggled, dragged the two of them off, and said angrily: "Fart! What do you know!"

Wang Gao and Qin Gong shrank their necks and looked at him curtly, not knowing why.

Chen Rui looked left and right, and saw that no one was paying attention, so he motioned for the two to approach, and sighed in a low voice: "Didn't you listen to that old gelding just now, that Su Shaoqing is sick now." I'm sick, do you understand? It's not sick early or late, but I'm sick when I get to the front, hey, this disease is really just right. ”

Wang Gao and Qin Gong looked at each other and glanced at each other, before Wang Gao hesitated and said, "What the commander means is that he is sick ......."

Chen Rui waved his hand and walked towards the house, and Wang Gao and Qin Gong hurriedly followed.

When he arrived in the room, Chen Rui took the teacup and poured a few sips, then he let out a long breath, looked at the two of them, and sighed: "Sick? I'm afraid it's a silver sickness! When Lao Ma entered Beijing a while ago, I felt that things were not good." Now it seems that it is indeed a disaster. Anyway, Lao Tzu has really stayed enough in this place, and he is worried day and night, maybe he will lose this head one day. When I went back this time, although I lost my errand, I also ended up quiet, but I was blessed by misfortune. ”

He sighed, Wang Gao and Qin Gong glanced at each other, and they both saw uneasiness in each other's eyes. Damn, you're patting your ass and leaving, so what are we going to do?

was worried, but heard Chen Rui say again: "What Eunuch Yao said very clearly today, that Su Shaoqing is giving us time to clean up our hands." Otherwise, once you come over and hand over immediately, think about it, if we are not on guard, then is it good? Needless to say, everyone has made a lot of money over the years, and we really have to find out, which one is clean under the buttocks? Besides, if you don't prepare in advance, then you will go back and drink the northwest wind? You don't have to think too much, this time the Son of Heaven is afraid that he is going to move seriously, and the entire border pass will definitely move a large number of people, and the two of you must be among them, and you can't run. Therefore, the more days of preparation time, the better it will be for us. It's just that how did this time come? It doesn't depend on when Su Shaoqing's illness will get better? Hey, or tomorrow, or seven or eight days, it depends on the strength of our side. When the dot arrives, it will naturally be seven or eight days, or even ten days and a half months, but if that person is not satisfied, hum, don't say the day after tomorrow, it is not impossible to enter the customs tonight. ”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Gao and Qin Gong suddenly realized. The two looked at each other again, and then got up at the same time to say goodbye.

Chen Rui waved his hand and ordered the two to go, looking at the hurried figures of the two, silent for a long time. It wasn't until a long time later that he let out a faint sigh.

Nothing was said for a night, and the next day in the blink of an eye.

Early in the morning, a cart full of cages left the city and headed straight for Wuli Village. Not long afterward, somewhere in the city, an eagle falcon soared into the sky, flapped its wings in the air, and then flew straight out of the gate.

Half a quarter of an hour later, in the military tent in the Mongolian military camp outside the Guanwai, the fire sieve held a note in his hand, and he stared at it for a long time without saying a word. After a moment, he burst out laughing, his face full of undisguised contempt.

Bamur and a few other commanders didn't know why, so the fire sieve casually threw the note over, and said hesitantly: "I said that Suna Yan is really capable, but I don't want to be just a greedy and forgetful person's ear." The Southern Dynasties are all such goods, and my Mongolian horse stepped on the Central Plains, and it is not far from rising again. ”

Bamur leaned over to look at it, and they were all stunned at first glance. But then they all laughed, and they all responded with each other.

The most belligerent Shi Litan was full of excitement and shouted: "Tabu Nang, the southerners are stupid, why should we be false with them, why don't we report to the Great Khan, simply break through the barrier and kill him?"

Tu Yan and Gu Lunai next to him were also eager to try, their eyes lit up, and they looked at the fire sieve expectantly. Mongolia is rewarded for its military exploits, especially the gains from plunder, and now that it sees the decay of the Ming Dynasty, its heart can't help but become hot.

The fire sieve also flashed a flash of heat in his eyes, but he suddenly came to his senses again. snorted coldly and reprimanded: "The Great Khan has his own plan for this matter, and he can't make a mistake! Otherwise, if he misses a big matter, he will chop off his head first!"

Tu Yan's head shrank a few times, and he was ashamed and didn't dare to say more.

The fire sieve snorted, his eyes turned on the faces of several people, and then he said again: "Go, pass on the order of the king, pull out the camp and set up the village, withdraw the camp ten miles back, and re-station." ”

Huh?

Bamur looked at each other, completely confused.

The fire sieve glanced at them disdainfully, and pouted: "Stupid! At this time, the southerners are slack, and if we are persecuted more urgently, they will be afraid and united, and we will act in a great disadvantage, but if they see us suddenly retreating, what will they think, and what will they do? ”

Bamur and the others were stunned for a moment, and then they came to their senses, and they couldn't help shouting in unison, and they all turned around and ran out of the door to give orders. After a short time, the Mongol camp was in a roar and retreated straight to the back, and the news immediately spread to the pass.

When Chen Rui and the others got the report, they didn't believe it at first, and then they were surprised and delighted. Surprisingly, it seems that the name of the prince of Yan City is really useful, and he can make a fierce general like Huo Sieve have to retreat;

Happily, in this way, not only will I finally be safe, but the previous charges of dereliction of duty due to fear will also be reduced a lot.

However, this good mood did not wait for it to bloom completely, and suddenly a return made them tremble in their hearts again.

The people who went to Wulizhai early in the morning to give gifts didn't see Su Shaoqing!
