It was nearly noon, on the shore of Taigong Lake outside the east gate of Linzi City, three thousand Ming troops gathered with this standby, these were the elite soldiers drawn from the Jinwuwei Tengxiang Guard, carrying dry food with knives and bows and preparing to enter the mountain, because of the rugged mountain road, the war horses were all left in Qingzhou City.

The five Orion guides had told Chang Yu last night that although there was a road in the mountains that led to the outside of Qingzhou City, the mountain roads were difficult to travel, and it was even more recommended to leave the camp early in the morning, but Chang Yu felt sorry for the soldiers and let them rest for an extra morning.

Jin Wuwei was led by Lu Xing and Liu Suiping, Teng Xiangwei was led by Ma Qianli and Huang Desan, Chang Yu was about to say something, and suddenly saw an acquaintance, Duan Wuhu!

Duan Wuhu is Cheng Ming's subordinate, everyone knows that Cheng Ming has a good relationship with the little eunuch, and Lu Xing let him enter the mountain This is also the meaning of sharing the credit to Cheng Ming, after all, the big guys know that it is good to follow the little eunuch to make merit.

"Huzi, do you remember what happened in Taiyuan" Chang Yu and Duan Wuhu went deep into the tiger's den when they were in Taiyuan, and sneaked into the camp of the thief army to assassinate Li Laiheng, the king of Xiaochuang, after the first battle in Taiyuan, he became more and more powerful, and Duan Wuhu was just a low-level military attaché, and there were not many opportunities to meet, and he was overjoyed to meet at this time.

"Of course, the little one will not forget that he once fought side by side with the factory superintendent, this awesome is enough to blow for a lifetime," Duan Wuhu grinned

Chang Yu was very emotional, in a blink of an eye, many months have passed, and many of the soldiers who defended the city with him in Taiyuan have been killed, and the familiar ones are almost untouchable, so he pulled Duan Wuhu to his side and put his hand on his shoulder: "You follow Ben Du all the way, let's nag well!" ”

"The little ones can't ask for it!" Duan Wuhu was overjoyed, Lu Xing and the others watched with envy from the side, and said in their hearts that this eunuch valued love and righteousness very much to the comrades-in-arms who were born and died together.

"Last time, we went deep into the tiger's den to assassinate the thief leader Li Laiheng, and now we will secretly go to Chen Cang to see if we can kill the leader of the Tartars" Chang Yu looked back at the two Tartars on the stone carved door plaque on the enemy tower at the east gate of Linzi City, and waved his hand: "Pull out the camp!" ”

There is no road into the mountain in the east of Linzi City, you need to bypass the other side of Taigong Lake to enter the mountain from the north, Chang Yu and Li Muxian, Li Shiyuan and several leaders of Lu Xing rode horses in front of the mighty slow march into the mountain, Li Yan on the other side looked at each other, his eyes were solemn, Zhou Yuji sighed beside him: "The mountain is full of thorns, the road is rugged and difficult to walk, and the mosquito attack at night is unbearable, not to mention the crisis in Qingzhou...... What my old Zhou Rongma hated most in the past was those eggless prison soldiers, who would have thought that the most obedient person now is also a eunuch! ”

Huang Degong glanced at him: "I, Huang Chuangzi, used to see the eunuch and wanted to pinch the egg for him, but every time I saw the little overseer...... In turn, I want to be pinched by him! ”

Burst! Everyone was discolored, and Huang Degong hurriedly explained: "It's just that the meaning of being particularly convincing is similar to that of Lao Zhou......"

"Li Yan has been a thief for half his life and finally met the master, although he has no regrets when he dies!" Li Yan on the chair gritted his teeth and looked at the other side and said slowly, Hao Shaoqi looked at him with a very complicated gaze, Li Yan sensed that he also looked at him sideways: "Hao Yongzhong, the big war is about to tell me something from my heart, do you want to leave or want to stay, if you want to leave, I won't keep you, and I will resist the factory supervisor."

"Okay, you wine jar, the factory governor is not thin on you, you are still a thief! General Li will not spare you if you let go! Tu Yuan was furious, and pulled out his waist knife, Li Yan raised his hand to stop him, but his eyes were still staring at Hao Shaoqi.

Hao Shaoqi looked back at the knife in Tu Yuan's hand and said with a wry smile: "I am a rough man who can't speak, but there is something I don't know why I and Li Yan are also thieves, but you have never suspected that he is insincere, but he is wary of me?" Although I am rude, I am not stupid, and I know very well along the way."

"First of all, your purpose as a thief is different, even if General Li is in the thief army, he is strict in military discipline and asks for the people's life, what are you doing at that time?" Zhou Yuji sneered: "Besides, when General Li was in Taiyuan, he took the initiative to surrender and rushed thousands of miles to help the battle, and when the thief army approached the capital, he retreated south with the little governor and made countless contributions, what were you doing at that time?" A few days ago, he was seriously injured in resisting the enemy in Xianghe, and everything he did was obvious to all, and he really did his best for the Ming Dynasty, but you were defeated and captured, and it is reasonable to prevent you."

Hao Shaoqi shook his head with a wry smile: "I see, just because I was captured and had no choice but to surrender" said and looked up at Li Yan and said: "You and I have worked together for a long time, and you also see me like this?" Is that what the little Overseer thinks of me? ”

"The little overseer never said a word about you in front of us, let alone let me wait for you to watch out for you, but praised you for your bravery" Li Yan said solemnly: "As for the two of us, it is because you and I have worked together for a long time, and I only asked you at this time, whether to leave or stay." If you stay with me, I will dare to use you as a vanguard general, if you leave, I will not stop you, even if I am the commander of Tu, I will block it for you, but if you want to stay, don't think about the happy things of the rivers and lakes half-heartedly, we are officers and soldiers and are no longer thieves."

Hao Shaoqi nodded slightly when he heard this, looked at the lake and sighed: "To be honest, being a thief is really happy, there is wine, meat, and women to play with whatever they want, no one cares about it, and no one asks about it, but the officers and soldiers are very ...... There are too many rules, and it's uncomfortable."

"So you're really a thief and you're leaving?" Tu Yuan shouted angrily: "Wine jar, if you leave today, Lao Tzu will sell General Li a face, and I won't stop you, but in the future, as long as I don't die Tu Yuan, I will definitely catch you back and cut you down!" ”

Hao Shaoqi sneered and glared at Tu Yuan and said, "If you talked to me like this in the past, Lao Tzu would have to fight with you!" ”

", just do it, whoever is afraid of whom" Tu Yuan roared: "Come on, don't be cowardly now."

"It's not cowardice" Hao Shaoqi heaved: "Because Lao Tzu is an officer and soldier, he must abide by military regulations, and private fights are prohibited in the army!" ”

"You...... If you don't leave, didn't you say that you are happy to be a thief? "Tu Yuan Yileng

Hao Shaoqi smiled bitterly: "Being a thief is happy and free, but as the little governor said, this kind of happiness is actually a kind of walking corpse, muddy and nightmare, eating and waiting for death, and the thief is a thief after all, he is a thief who insults his ancestors, and now he is a soldier and I Hao Yongzhong can also be a dignified and upright person, I can fight as long as I have military merits, I can also have the glory of the ancestors, even if I can't fight the princely general, I can always be a general soldier!" He pointed at Li Yan as he spoke: "I can do what you can do, although my brain is not as bright as yours, but when it comes to charging into battle, you are not worth one!"

The last sentence almost roared out, everyone changed color, but Li Yan smiled: "In the past, I underestimated you, you are right, I am not as good as you in ten Li Yan, this battle will take you as the vanguard general, and look at your achievements and glorious lintel!" ”

"Good guy, how good is this, you see the Tartar farts that our brothers kill every time they join forces, this makes them happy, isn't it a hundred times stronger than being a thief and waiting for death, besides, our officers and soldiers also have wine and meat to eat, and they can play as many girls as they want with the reward......" Tu Yuan put away the knife and gave Hao Shaoqi a heavy punch, and everyone saw him say this, and they were also a little relieved and chatted awkwardly.

Hao Shaoqi's depressed mood became very good after many days, so he asked Li Yan: "When will the war start?" I can't wait to make a contribution! ”

Li Yan looked to the northeast, the water on the lake was sparkling, and the trees on the shore in the distance were lush, and he looked up at the sky again: "If it is sunny within three days, if it rains...... It will be three to five days at most, and you will first have enough strength."
