Chapter 968: One Step Ahead

In the early morning, the sun shone sporadically on the tent through the branches, Huang Degong turned over and snored, and the soldiers hurriedly walked in and shook him vigorously: "My lord, my lord, the overseer called you over!" ”

In Li Yan's tent, Chang Yu was drinking gruel and dried radish, Li Muxian didn't know where to get a bird egg and was peeling the skin for Xiao Daotong: "Eat this to grow a head, and only when you grow strong can you beat that guy......"

Zhou Yuji couldn't help laughing: "Daoist Fang Fang, why do you hold grudges so much every day, Lao Huang didn't treat you badly."

Ah, Li Muxian was stunned, and quickly shook his hand: "Mr. Zhou misunderstood, what Poor Dao said was not Mr. Huang, it was a big yellow dog that came out of nowhere yesterday and almost bit ......."

As he was talking, Huang Degong walked in, and when he heard this, he was furious: "You bull nose dare to scold Lao Tzu behind your back......" The gesture was about to start, Chang Yu squirted out the rice with a pop.

"Yo, the Overseer is here......" Huang Degong realized what he was here for, and quickly put away his anger and greeted Chang Yu with a hippie smile.

"You know it's ...... foolish," Chang Yu reprimanded.

Huang Degong coughed and cleared his throat: "That dog Tartar invaded our country's borders, burned, killed and plundered, and did all kinds of evil, that is, when he talked about peace, he stumbled and disgusted people from time to time, Lao Tzu was just angry, anyway, he did it, you can punish it if you like it!" ”

Chang Yu looked stunned, raised his eyebrows and said, "What are you talking about?" Then he shouted as if he thought of something: "I went to mess around again last night!" ”

Only then did Huang Degong react, the little eunuch didn't know about last night, so he didn't admit himself? This...... cough cough, his eyes looked at Li Yan, but he saw that he just couldn't help but smile and bury his head in eating.

"Cough, I'm also recruited, you can punish it" Huang Degong suddenly wilted, and Zhou Yuji stretched: "Didn't you go again last night?" Ahem, I missed it early when I was older, I missed ......"

"Old Zhou, you are not afraid of big things when you look at the excitement, isn't it that when you say that your dignified general soldier is a strong man, it is too empty to sleep with you at night......" Huang Degong grabbed Zhou Yuji and sprayed.

"We don't know if Mr. Zhou is vain, but Lao Huang, have you made up a little too much recently" Chang Yu snorted coldly: "You are not at fault for attacking and harassing the Tartars, but you have to admit punishment for violating military discipline."

"I admit punishment, I admit punishment" Huang Degong saw that the little eunuch's expression was gloomy and he didn't dare to mess around anymore, so he hurriedly said: "I admit whatever the punishment is!" ”

"I can't help you if I don't recognize it" Chang Yu snorted: "I guess you were not the only one who made trouble last night, but it was indispensable that you took the lead, and this account was recorded on your head, General Li, how do you punish him?" ”

Only then did Li Yan put away his smile and coughed lightly: "There are extenuating circumstances and there are no serious consequences, but the impact is extremely bad, so I will be fined fifty taels of silver and banned from drinking for half a month!" ”

"Okay, good" Huang Degong hurriedly responded, and his eyes suddenly glared: "What the hell, punish you for half a month of drinking, you kill me!" ”

"What, you don't admit it?" Chang Yu's face sank, and Huang Degong hung his head dejectedly: "Admit it, admit it, it's just that this punishment for half a month is too heavy."

"Then how about our family give you a favor and pay a hundred taels of silver for a day?" Chang Yu raised his eyebrows, Huang was overjoyed, but if he reached it in fifteen days, it would cost 1,500 taels of silver, although in Qingzhou he was rewarded with a lot of silver by King Heng, but if he escaped a thousand taels of silver, it would really hurt.

"Hey, then I'm going to thank the Overseer", Huang Degong sighed: "Bear with it first, and then exchange it for silver when you can't help it" Everyone laughed.

"By the way, Lord Overseer, if you report lawlessness, is there any merit?" Huang Degong suddenly laughed evilly, and Chang Yu sighed: "That's nature."

"The last general reported Tu Yuan and Jia Waixiong under your command and that old nine, especially Jia Waixiong and Lao Jiu, it is reported that they were still on duty last night and went out to fool around with the last general, and the last general will report them, and I hope that the overseer and General Li will deal with them according to law!"

"Mr. Huang, I just said that the accomplice will not be prosecuted, and the accounts are all on your head, don't think about good things" Li Yan smiled slightly, but Chang Yu was angry: "There is such a thing, leaving his post without permission during the duty period, if it is just when a thief comes to assassinate the governor, wouldn't it be a life, no, this matter must be strictly investigated, but the three of them are under the direct jurisdiction of Dongchang, and they should be dealt with by Dongchang, and Huang Zongbing's report can exempt you from being fined for half a day!" ”

Ah, half a day! Huang Degong was speechless: "Isn't this a humble person" Everyone laughed again.

Come on, Huang Degong knew that it couldn't be Chang Yu's opponent, so he shrugged his shoulders and found a place to sit down, and his own soldiers had already served him a meal: "It seems that the overseer called me Lao Huang over early in the morning, but there is something else to do."

"It's not too late for you to eat first," Chang Yu raised his hand and motioned for his soldiers to add another bowl of rice for him.

Zhou Yuji touched Huang Degong and said in a low voice: "Old Huang, wine is a good thing, but you can't drink too much, it affects this" said and pointed to his head.

"What do you mean, it's not enough for me to say that my brain is not enough" Huang Degong pouted.

"Tu Yuan and Jia Waixiong are both descendants of Dongchang, and they are in charge of the external security of the overseer these days, do you think he dares to leave his post without permission to mess around with you?"

"Uh...... What do you mean" Huang Degong didn't react for a while, Zhou Yuji shook his head with a wry smile, and pointed at Chang Yu with the tip of his chopsticks, and Huang Degong realized it.

Dongchang has always been strict in military discipline, and the generals under his command are extremely loyal to Chang Yu, and Jia Waixiong of the Old Nine Black Panther Battalion of the Black Wolf Battalion is in charge of Chang Yu's perimeter security these days, how could he leave his post without his orders, especially if he had been beaten yesterday, it was impossible to commit it a second time.

The little eunuch is really treacherous, last night he must have instructed Tu Yuan and a few people to instigate him, which could not only make the Tartar unrestful but also take the opportunity to beat him, killing two birds with one stone.

Nima, I'm convinced! Huang Degong rolled his eyes and sighed, holding the rice bowl and pulling hard. He felt that the little eunuch and Li Yan were too complicated, and they were people who never spoke directly about beating around the bush, and it was really tiring to live every day.

"What do you think of the Tartars who left camp early in the morning, but unexpectedly did not release the hostages, but left behind a large number of baggage, and even a few domestic animals?" After the gag, Chang Yu knocked on the table to make a point. According to the urine of the Qing army in the past, more than 1,000 people will be released in the uninhabited ruins of Wuqing County, but there is none.

Zhou Yuji frowned: "It is less than three hundred miles to the capital, and it is nearly two hundred miles from the capital to Miyun, at this time, the Tartars do not have many hostages at hand, and the closer they are to the pass, the more cautious they become, for fear that we will play some means, so we will hold hostages for self-respect."

"Abandoning a large number of baggage is obviously going to speed up, after all, the ten-day limit is coming" Li Muxian said softly, Chang Yu sighed and looked at Li Yan again: "But what is there to add?" ”

Li Yan looked outside the tent with a solemn expression: "Let's show the knife in the capital, if you want to play tricks, you will be in the capital!" ”

Chang Yu nodded: "Even so, our family will take the first step"

"The last general is willing to go with the Lord Overseer" Huang Degong stood up, Chang Yu shook his head slightly: "How can the main force in the rear be without you to sit in the town, our family will go first but the formation is very boring."

"It's boring, then the general still won't go," Huang Degong smiled.

Chang Yu arched his hand to a few people: "There are a few people here" Everyone hurriedly returned the salute: "I will not live up to the trust of the overseer."

On the three poles of the day, Chang Yu led the three battalions of people under his command to go first, accompanied by Li Muxian's master and apprentice.

At the same time, the Qing army was also moving north along the canal to the north, and the route was no different from the one when it came, and the reason why it did not deviate from the route and went straight to the direction of the capital in the northwest was because the army could not march without water, and secondly, going straight to the direction of the capital would cause the sensitivity of the Ming army in the rear.

Chang Yu's three battalions and guards were less than a thousand people, so they took dry food and water bladders and went straight to the northwest capital direction!
