As he spoke, the man, after delivering the letter, looked around, found no two of them, and returned in the direction of the camp.

Shangguan Xiu looked at the fine work who was far away from the camp and replied, "This person's name is Zhuang Lingzhi, and he is the captain of our army. When he was in the Hexi Corridor, he was the right-hand man under the deputy general Hu Yuansong, and because of the equipment institute, our entire army would be dispatched to Heyuan Mansion. It stands to reason that it shouldn't be a meticulous work. Could it be that someone bought it? ”

"Go back, you call Hu Yuansong over to see me."

Hu Yuansong has no talent, but he is very good at talking with one mouth, and he is good at catering to the preferences of the officials, so when he was a soldier in the Hexi Corridor, he was promoted from a small soldier to a captain within three years.

Later, when the Academy of Instruments needed to mobilize an army, he and his school were transferred, and he was promoted to the deputy general of the garrison stationed in the Academy of Equipment.

In addition to being able to speak, he is also very good at looking at people, he will promote whoever is talented, and he will ignore what people are mediocre.

Therefore, over the years, the people he values have more or less made some contributions, and he, as a Bole, has naturally been appreciated.

When Shangguan Xiu said that the eldest grandson Mingyue was going to see him, he was surprised and a little apprehensive at the same time.

He has figured out the preferences of countless people, and even Xuanyuan Ding's preferences he has guessed, but he has no chance to communicate with Xuanyuan Ding at his current level, and naturally he has no chance to make sycophants.

However, for the eldest grandson Mingyue, he couldn't see through it at all.

His credo is, if you don't understand, don't provoke. Therefore, since his surrender, he has avoided dealing with the eldest grandson Mingyue countless times.

Remember the URL

Unexpectedly, the eldest grandson Mingyue actually named him and wanted to see him, and Shangguan Xiu didn't reveal what she wanted to see him, how could he not be nervous in his heart?

He was wearing a black leather armor, and his legs trembled a little as he walked into the camp of the eldest grandson Mingyue.

Seeing the eldest grandson Mingyue sitting in the center with a serious face, he knelt down with a plop, "The last general...... Hu Yuansong, I've seen ...... Commander! ”

"Vice General Hu, get up. Ben Shuai has something to ask you for. ”

He got up slowly, bowed his head, didn't dare to look at her eyes, and replied, "Don't you dare, if the commander has anything to say, the general will know everything!" ”

"What? Am I a beast? Why are you so nervous? The eldest grandson Mingyue looked at Hu Yuansong, who was very restrained, and asked, and then pointed to the mat on the side, "Sit down." ”

With her serious appearance, how could she not make Hu Yuansong restrained.

However, there is no way to do this, as long as she does things seriously, she can't be as naughty and frolicking as ordinary life.

So there is a saying that sums it up very well, geniuses are often crazy.

Although the eldest grandson Mingyue can't reach the level of a madman, it's not much worse.

"Thank you, Commander!" He didn't dare to excuse himself, he had already made up his mind in his heart, no matter what the eldest grandson Mingyue said, he just did it.

"Does Vice General Hu know that tonight, we are about to launch a general attack on Heyuan Mansion?"

"The last general already knows, and General Shangguan has already told the last general." Hu Yuansong's heart was very worried, and she said in her heart that she wouldn't know about scolding her in the Shangguan camp tent at that time, right?

Eldest Sun Mingyue nodded, and the conversation changed, "However, someone passed the news of tonight's time to Heyuan Mansion. ”

Hu Yuansong was taken aback, it turned out that she was in a bad mood because of the leakage of intelligence. He hurriedly said: "I don't know who passed the news on!" It's an unforgivable sin! ”

"That person, Vice General Hu is very familiar with." The eldest grandson Mingyue seemed to be smiling, "He is Zhuang Lingzhi, the captain of the shooting voice under your command!" I don't know, Zhuang Lingzhi's behavior, do you know? ”

"What?" Hu Yuansong is like five thunderbolts, is it under his own command?

Then she called herself over this time, and she was responsible!

You don't have to think about it to know that Zhuang Lingzhi is his subordinate, and he leaked such important military information, even if he didn't know about it, he couldn't run away with the crime of not seeking!

This is not enough to kill him!

Thinking that he would be punished, he quickly knelt down again, "Lord Commander, I don't know anything about this matter!" ”

"What are you nervous about? Ben Shuai didn't say that he would punish you! It's just asking if you know. ”

Hu Yuansong breathed a sigh of relief, don't say that he didn't know, even if he knew about it, he couldn't say it even if he was killed.

"The last general really doesn't know about this!"

"Well, I believe in Vice Admiral Hu! Get up and sit down! The eldest grandson Mingyue said, "You should know Zhuang Lingzhi very well, come, tell me what kind of person he is?" ”

Hu Yuansong saw her look, it didn't seem to be a lie, it seemed that she really didn't intend to punish herself, and the big stone in her heart was put down.

Then he sat down again and said: "Zhuang Lingzhi is a native of Heyuan Mansion, his parents died when he was a child, and he lives with his sister......

"Wait!" Eldest Sun Mingyue interrupted him, "You said he was a native of Heyuan Mansion? ”

Hu Yuansong nodded, "Yes!" ”

"Well, you go on." The eldest grandson Mingyue was thoughtful.

"He was forcibly dragged into the army ten years ago when the Ming clan was conscripted. Then he was sent to the Hexi Corridor, where he went for many years. At that time, the last general was just a gang leader in the Hexi Corridor and knew him. Later, the general was promoted to lieutenant, and he was made his deputy. It wasn't until the academy transferred this school that he was promoted to the captain of the shooting sound! ”

"When he followed his subordinates, his subordinates knew that he was from Heyuan Mansion. When we were transferred, I granted him a month off to look for his family in Heyuan Province. ”

Later, I heard him say that he had found his sister, who had married a well-known figure in Heyuan Mansion. At that time, the last general was also happy for him, but ...... I didn't expect him to do such a thing! ”

"Lord Commander, if you can trust the last general, give him to me! The general will definitely find out the reason and give you a reasonable explanation. ”

The eldest grandson Mingyue was still thinking, pondered for a moment, and asked, "What is his sister's name?" ”

Hu Yuansong frowned and recalled vigorously, "Hey, it seems to be called...... Zhuang Qingyun...... Zhuang Qingling, what's it called...... The end will be forgotten for a while. ”

"Zhuang Qingying?" The eldest grandson Mingyue said with a hint of doubt.

Hu Yuansong nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, yes!" It's Zhuang Qingying! Her nickname is Ying'er, hey...... Zhuang Lingzhi talked about his sister's nickname three years ago, and it has been so long since this matter that he forgot it for a while! ”

But as he spoke, his face suddenly became a little unnatural, "Lord Commander, you...... How do you know? ”

"Zhuang Qingying is the wife of Chen Zhi, the cavalry general of Heyuan Mansion, and the younger sister-in-law of Chen Qian, the commander of Heyuan Mansion." The eldest grandson Mingyue said softly.

Zhai Yin and the others had already inquired very clearly about the situation of some of the main people in the city, but they didn't expect Chen Zhi to have such an uncle in Shangguan Xiu's army.

Therefore, Zhuang Lingzhi delivered a message to Heyuan Mansion, which can be explained.

At the end of the day, after Chen Zhi finished arranging the defenses on the city wall, he returned to the palace.

Today is a little later than yesterday, there is no way that he is in danger and has taken over the position of commander of the garrison army, and some of the defenses arranged by Xie Yuan in the past are still some loopholes, and he has to rearrange them.

Don't look at the 20,000 soldiers in Heyuan Mansion now, and only 10,000 people can really be used to defend the city, these days of repeated catapult attacks, the loss of more than 1,000 soldiers, and the cavalry and logistics soldiers can not go up the city wall to defend the city, so for him, to defend the city, is a big problem.

An hour earlier, Amber, the butler, had been looking for him, but he was busy and did not see him.

Later, I heard from the soldier that his wife told him to hurry home, saying that it was a letter from his eldest brother. Therefore, he was busy with the things at hand and rushed home as soon as possible, otherwise it would be late to go home today.

"Sir, you're back." Amber welcomed him through the door.

"Where's Madame?"

"Madame is coaxing the young master to sleep in the room!"

Chen Zhi nodded and walked straight to his son's room.

"Ma'am." He shouted as he pushed the door open.

"Shh Mrs. Chen made a silent gesture, "Chen'er is already asleep." ”

"Oh." He lowered his voice and walked slowly to the bed.

Looking at his six-year-old son on the bed, who was sleeping very soundly, this resolute man showed a rare trace of tenderness on his face.

He gently stroked his son's face and said softly: "I am not a qualified father, I went out early in the morning every day, and I didn't come back until so late, Chen'er hasn't seen me these days." ”

"You also said that you should come back sooner. The affairs in the army are too busy to finish, and now that you are in charge of the city defense army, many things can be handed over to the people below to do. ”

"How can you do this, since I have taken over the city defense army, I have to be responsible for Heyuan Mansion. Hold on no matter what! ”

"Alright, alright! I know. When it comes to your city defense army, you always have your reasons. The expression on Mrs. Chen's face was not pretty.

"Big brother has a letter?" Chen Zhi diverted this awkward topic and asked.

"Well, believe I'll put you in your study. After you've finished reading, go back to your room and rest early! ”

"What did the eldest brother say in the letter?"

"This letter is a letter with a red label, I am a woman, and I will not participate in the affairs of your army." She replied.

"Red Label Letter?" Chen Zhi was taken aback.

Zhuang Lingzhi was stationed in the instrument hospital, and he was not allowed to return to Heyuan Mansion without permission, but he loved this sister very much, so he thought of writing a letter.

But his identity is special, and he can't hand over this kind of private message to others to send, so he has a secret way to send letters.

The moat outside Heyuan Mansion connected to a pond in Chen's Mansion, and he came up with this method of packing letters in iron boxes.

There are generally three types of letters, the first is a white-label letter, which is a daily communication; The second type is the yellow label letter, which means that there is an urgent matter that needs to be met and discussed; The third is the red sign, which represents a danger signal.

Chen Zhi came to the study and saw a letter rolled up in silk cloth on his desk, tied with a red ribbon.

He took it in his hand, sat down, gently untied the red belt, and unfurled the silk cloth.

"Brother Zhengping, don't read it. The army outside the city attacked the city at the same time tonight, the southern city feinted, and the main force was at the north gate. I hope my brother will make arrangements early! ”

Chen Zhi frowned, Zhengping is his word, no wonder today's letter is a red label letter, it turns out that the enemy army outside the city plans to attack the city tonight!

Tonight? Isn't that even an hour away?

Although he had made a new round of arrangements for Heyuan Mansion, he felt that the enemy army outside the city had been throwing stones for a long time and had not really attacked the city.

Now if they attack the city tonight, the soldiers are unprepared.

He hurriedly got up and shouted, "Amber, prepare your horses!" ”

"Master, what's wrong?" Amber walked in and asked.

"Hurry up and get ready! Something big is happening tonight! Chen Zhi said anxiously, there is not much time left for him now.

Soon, Amber led the horse over, and as soon as he stepped on the horse, Mrs. Chen heard the movement and drove out.

"Husband, where are you going so late?" Mrs. Chen leaned against the doorpost and asked with some concern.

"The eldest brother said in the letter that tonight, the enemy army will attack the city! I have to rush back as soon as possible! Take care, ma'am! After saying that, he turned his horse's head and rode away from home.

"Husband!" When Mrs. Xu heard this, she panicked, and after worrying about it for so long, this day still came.

Although Chen Zhi served as a cavalry general, for so many years, half of them went out of the city to suppress some mountain bandits, and she had not experienced a big battle, and every time there was no danger, she was not worried.

But this time it was different, she heard that there were more than 30,000 enemy troops outside the city, and they were very strong.

In the past few days, the enemy army outside the city only attacked the city with catapults, and did not really attack, although Chen Zhi did not have any major incidents, but she had always been worried.

She is a smart person, and naturally knows that since the enemy army has spent so much experience, it is inevitable to attack the city, and her husband will eventually go to the battlefield.

It's just that she didn't expect that it would be today.

She was frightened in her heart, for fear that Chen Zhi would never return.

"Husband, you have to be more careful." Her tears flowed down her eyes, and her eyes were full of reluctance.

Chen Zhi's eyes were also slightly moist, but he held back, tears choked his throat, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Madam, what if...... In case, something happens to me, you take Chen'er with you...... Find a place to live well! ”

"Husband, I'm not leaving! The city is here with me, and I'll be at home waiting for you to come back! Chen'er and I will wait until the day you return. She cried stubbornly.

"What nonsense!" At this time, Chen Zhi didn't have time to have a long relationship with her children, and said solemnly: "Wait for me to come back!" ”

After saying that, the horsewhip was beaten, and the horse galloped away!

"Husband...... I...... Waiting for you! ”
