ใChinese Networkใ, to provide you with wonderful reading.
Until it was dark, he ran to the city of Xinzhou in one go, and at this time, the team finally reached the limit, and Chang Yu ordered to rest on the spot.
"Father-in-law Chang, is this the way to eat and sleep in the open?" Seeing that Chang Yu didn't even enter the city and rested in the wilderness outside the city, Zhou Yuji asked with some surprise.
"The great task from heaven must first work hard and strain its muscles and bones" Chang Yu smiled slightly and glanced around: "The emperor's personal guards, the comfortable life has been too long, I'm afraid their bones are soft, it's time to practice" said and looked at Zhou Yuji and quipped: "Could it be that Brother Zhou complained that our family was not well entertained and let you stay in the wilderness overnight?" โ
Zhou Yuji laughed when he heard this: "The last general has been in the army for decades, and sleeping in the open has long been commonplace, to be honest, if you don't have this hard life for a few days, you won't be comfortable, you can't help it, you are born cheap!" โ
Chang Yu laughed: "Actually, our family is also cheap!" โ
The two clapped their hands and laughed.
"Factory Governor, I found that people and horses are also resting in front of me!" At this moment, Zheng Xingguo came on horseback.
Well, Chang Yu pondered for a while and asked, "He Chengxin or Yang Zhenwei?" โ
In my memory, He Chengxin stayed outside Datong City that night and started early in the morning, but Yang Zhenwei was a soldier sent in the afternoon, but the peak of physical strength may surpass He Chengxin's people.
"Yang Zhenwei is in the ministry, but Yang Zhenwei is not here, and he is only a heavy man," Zheng Xingguo added.
Chang Yu nodded, sure enough, the wealth was moving, He Chengxin and Yang Zhenwei in order to earn the five hundred taels of silver, it can be said that they were out of the way, both of them set off one day and night ahead of him, but he was all the cavalry, and he only caught up with his fallen team outside Xinzhou City, and he ran really fast!
On the way before, Chang Yu had already told Zhou Yuji that he was transferring troops in Xuanda, and he didn't even hide the killing of Jiang Jiu, so at this time, when he heard that there was an army in front of him, Zhou Yuji was not surprised, but raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to take a look?" โใ
Chang Yu smiled: "Brother Zhou is going to be treated?" He knew that Zhou Yuji was a well-known soldier lover.
"Rushing around like this, I'm afraid of hurting at all" Zhou Yuji sighed, but he also knew that this was really forced by the situation.
Chang Yu put away his smile and got up on his horse: "Let's go, let's take a look."
Being a soldier in ancient times was a kind of lowest occupation, poor and miserable, if not forced by life, no one would take the initiative to join the army, licking blood with a knife, and losing his life at any time, plus **** low income, not to mention supporting a family is a good livelihood, otherwise it will not be for a mere two taels of silver, and he will use two legs to run from Datong overnight to here.
But compared to only four taels of silver a year, they feel that it is worth breaking their legs.
Condolence is of course the most heartwarming material thing, but moral support is also important sometimes, even then.
These fallen soldiers were already exhausted, and even a little desperate, thinking that they could not arrive in Taiyuan as scheduled, and the two taels of silver were wasted, wouldn't they suffer this crime in vain.
Just when they were suffering from gains and losses, they suddenly heard that the governor of Dongchang and the general soldiers of Shanxi were coming, and they were instantly afraid again, and this time punishment was indispensable.
How do you know that things are completely unexpected, although the chief soldier has been black-faced, but the words are very gentle, what is even more shocking is that the young factory governor, has been smiling and greeting the soldiers, from time to time let them pay attention to the cold, pay attention to the body, and make it clear that as long as they can go to Taiyuan, the reward will be paid!
Hearing this, the soldiers immediately cheered, and the original unhappiness was swept away, they were the team in charge of baggage, and the speed was not as fast as those vanguard troops who were lightly armed, and if they arrived according to the unified time requirements, they would have suffered a loss.
Chang Yu chatted with the soldiers over there, Zhou Yuji was an ancient man and a chief soldier after all, and at the same time, he was too old to let himself fly like him, the shelf still had to be held, but he stood aside and watched Chang Yu silently wander among the soldiers, his eyes became more and more confused, is this person really the governor of Dongchang......
The family made a fire to cook and feed the horses, the soldiers gathered together in groups to roast the fire and chatter, Chang Yu and Zhou Yuji gathered around the fire and looked at the dark night sky and were silent.
"This is a mountain nest" Chang Yu couldn't help but sigh in front of him, the Xinzhou City in front of him was actually a basin standing in the middle of the mountains.
Zhou Yuji snorted and pointed to the northeast: "But there is a famous mountain over there, have you heard of Wutai Mountain?" โ
Chang Yu nodded and smiled slightly: "Buddhist holy land."
"Chang Gonggong believes in the Buddha?" Zhou Yuji sat upright and looked at Chang Yu and asked.
"Why do you believe him? Do you believe that he can protect my Ming Dynasty from falling, or can he let the thief army destroy itself" Chang Yu pursed his lips.
Zhou Yuji shook his head lightly and smiled bitterly.
"Monks in prosperous times, Taoist priests in troubled times, outsiders are not good goods" Chang Yu sighed, leaned back, and lay down upside down.
"What do you mean by that?"
Zhou Yuji's eyes narrowed.
"You can understand it yourself" Chang Yu smiled, not speaking.
Half an hour later, the team started, and the fallen soldiers of Yang Zhenwei's department also set off together, but after all, they were defeated by Chang Yu's ride, and they were quickly thrown away.
After yesterday's overnight attack, Chang Yu's physical strength did not recover, and he no longer resisted the bitter cold, so he got into the carriage with Zhou Yuji, and the two fell asleep after chatting for a while.
In the middle of the night, the soldiers wrapped themselves tightly and hurried away, except for the sound of horses' hooves and wheels, only the occasional sound of scolding mules and horses.
Along the way, I met a lot of fallen soldiers, a group of people, some gritted their teeth and insisted on hurrying, some were roasting fires on the side of the road for a while, and under the inquiry, not only Yang Zhenwei's department, but even He Chengxin's people, and the further south, the more they encountered.
The sky was slightly bright, Chang Yu woke up, but saw Zhou Yuji Zhen leaning sideways against the car window, looking out in a daze, hearing the movement, and glancing at Chang Yu: "It's almost Yangqu."
Good guy, this road is not slow, Chang Yu is a little surprised, Yangqu is Taiyuan Prefecture Zhili County, and Shanxi is the command division, Shanxi Chengxuan political envoy is here, only fifty or sixty miles away from Taiyuan.
"Pass the order, go to Quyang to rest, and strive to get to Taiyuan at noon" Chang Yu shouted, jumped out of the car to relieve himself, but was so cold that he grinned, looked back at Fang San, the coachman who was waiting for him on the side of the road, and couldn't help sighing: "Three, how comfortable it is to stay in the palace, you have to come out with this mouth, look at the b, after returning to the palace, you still know you."
Fang San sat at the front of the car and licked his chapped and bloody lips, straightened his hat and said with a smile: "The little one just wants to follow the factory governor before and after the saddle, and go out to see it for a long time, this little bit of cold can still stand it!" โ
"Hey, do you have this heart" Chang Yu got into the car: "I really regret not slaughtering that beast and making you a tiger fur coat."
"Big brother, didn't you say that the tiger skin made a leather coat for me?" Chunxiang, who had been accompanying the car, laughed loudly.
Chang Yu rolled his eyes: "If you meet a tiger and wolf again, you will be slaughtered and stewed whip soup to warm up your body, everyone has a share!"
They laughed.
The sky was bright, Chang Yu was no longer sleepy, and Zhou Yuji was looking at the scenery outside by the car window, a desolate winter, so bright.
Outside Quyang City, Chang Yu got out of the car, looked into the distance, and couldn't help but smile, especially looking at the two people who were rushing towards him, the smile was even stronger.
Although they set off day and night, Chang Yu finally caught up with He Chengxin and Yang Zhenwei outside Quyang City, fifty miles away from Taiyuan.
The two of them looked tired, but they couldn't hide their joy, and they all saluted Chang Yu, especially He Chengxin's heart was extremely shocked, a few days ago, this young man who still called himself the eunuch of Dongchang in Xuanfu became the governor of Dongchang in a blink of an eye.
Chang Yu introduced Zhou Yuji to the two of them, in terms of qualifications, the two are only generals and deputy generals, Zhou is the chief soldier, although he is not directly under the central government, but after all, the military position is crushed, and the words see that Chang Yu and Zhou have a close relationship, and the two dare not be rude.
"General Zhou is the governor of Taiyuan military affairs, the two of you are ordered to come to help, and you will work together, but you have to get closer, the battle of Taiyuan depends on the three" Chang Yu pointed out who is the boss and who must be obedient.
"The last general is only the head of Zhou's soldiers and horses" He Chengxin and Yang Zhenwei hurriedly expressed their hearts to Zhou Yuji when Chang Yuzhi said, and Zhou Yuji returned the salute with a fist.
"General Yang, do you know that Jiang Hao has been given the head of the Fa" Chang Yu's sudden words made Yang Zhenwei a little confused.
"Jiang, what's wrong with Mr. Jiang?" He sent his troops on the afternoon of Chang Yu's assassination, and galloped all the way, not knowing what happened next.
"Jiang Jiu's collaborator was discovered by Dongchang, and when the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, he actually assassinated the governor and the commander of the Jinyi guard, Lord Wu, and the day before yesterday in Datong was cut down by the governor on the street!"
Chang Yu's tone was light, but his eyes kept staring at Yang Zhenwei, Jiang Hao was actually killed by him in history, not for the sake of righteousness, just because Jiang Huang was already extremely poor and didn't care about the life or death of his subordinates, forcing Yang Zhenwei to kill him.
Yang Zhenwei was stunned for a moment, dumbfounded, muttering something from time to time, but then he came to his senses again: "Lord Factory Supervisor, although the last general is in President Jiang...... The last general has nothing to do with this! "As he spoke, he knelt down.
Hahaha, Chang Yu laughed, stretched out his hand to stop him, looked at Yang Zhenwei with a panicked face, and patted him on the shoulder: "If you are implicated, how can you still stand and talk to our family at this time, Jiang Hao has done his own sin, and he is innocent of death, and the person who is clear and clear in this governor never does the black case that implicates innocent people!" โ
"The factory supervisor is wise" Although it was a cold day, Yang Zhenwei was also in a cold sweat, and he was finally relieved when he heard Chang Yu's words, but he felt that the world had changed so much, Jiang Xuan, who was still the chief soldier of a city a few days ago, had already gone to the ground to be a ghost at this time.
"Follow General Jiang to do a good job, the Taiyuan War is imminent, but it is also the time for meritorious service, the position of General Datong is still vacant" Chang Yu looked at Yang Zhenwei and smiled slightly, his eyes suddenly lit up, but He Chengxin on the side couldn't help licking his lips.
"There are meritorious rewards, there are punishments, this governor is ordered to supervise military affairs, the rewards and punishments are clear, no one is wronged, and no one is owed" Chang Yu put his hands behind his back, looked at Yangqu City in the distance, and said lightly.
He Yang and the two behind him were overjoyed, and Zhou Yuji still had a black face.
In fact, at this time, Chongzhen's decree to Chang Yu for inspector military affairs had not arrived at all, he just said it casually, but it had a deep meaning, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a warning.
As for the suspicion of counterfeiting, how could Chang Gonggong ever care, when he left the palace, he was just an idle little eunuch who was the master of ceremonies, and he dared to pretend to be a person from Dongchang, and he went directly to the factory governor when he arrived in Datong.
When everyone rested for a short time, they immediately started again, although they were tired from rushing overnight, but there was only more than 50 miles in front of them, there was no need to drag, it was better to reach the terminal in one go.
