In the camp of the Ming army, hearing the noise from Liu Ximing's camp, Gao Qiqian, Wu Sangui and others all came out of the big tent in a panic.

"What's wrong? Did the Dongyu call it, or did it bomb the camp? ”

Gao Qiqian, who was disheveled, had a little panic on his face, and as soon as he rushed out, he shouted to the guards and soldiers.

Except for the slightly better side of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, the other Ming army camps became a mess.

"Back to my father-in-law, it is the new Anbo camp who is celebrating loudly, saying that it is the new Anbo who is happy to be Lin'er." After a while, the soldiers rushed back to report the news.

Gao Qiqian had an expression on his face for the rest of his life, "God bless, it's scared to death for our family, hurry up and go to the camps to deliver the news, don't bomb the camp again." ”

Liu Ximing's side, after finding that the cheers of his own camp caused the entire Ming army camp to almost fry, he also hurriedly sent people around to apologize in the camps.

Early the next morning, he directly found Gao Qidive.

"I'm sorry, Gonggong Gao, the lower officials made a mistake for a while, and I didn't expect to almost make a big mess, it's really a sin, a sin."

Gao Qiqian no longer had the panicked and helpless look he had last night, and now he smiled and arched his hand towards Liu Ximing, "Our family hasn't congratulated Xin Anbo for getting a noble son, congratulations." ”

Without waiting for Liu Ximing to speak, he shook the document on his desk at Liu Ximing, with a mysterious smile on his face.

"So it's a double happiness, guess what it is?"

Liu Ximing cooperated with a surprised expression, "The lower officials don't know, and I ask my father-in-law to solve my doubts." ”

"Hahaha, there is a military report from the front, Lu Xiangsheng didn't stop our family's words, and boldly entered the army, and sure enough, Julu, who was surrounded by the Yue Tuo Department of Dongyu, was seventy miles away, and now he has begun to send people to ask for help."

"Hmph, let's see that he has to shed a layer of skin if he doesn't die this time, do you think this is a double happiness."

Fuck your mother's dead eunuch, Liu Ximing scolded in his heart.

Lu Xiangsheng was surrounded by the Eastern Captives, and the dead were not also soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, but how did it get to your dog's mouth but it became a great joy.

A gelding dog without eggs.

Thinking of the great achievements of this dog thief Chongzhen who served in the Hongguang Dynasty and finally served Jianyu, the disgust in Liu Ximing's heart deepened a little again.

But at this moment, he laughed, "It's really worth being happy, this Lu Shangshu doesn't stop waiting for my advice, and it's really going to suffer a big loss, but father-in-law, according to the lower officials, this is also a great opportunity for us to make meritorious contributions." ”

"Oh? How so? Gao Qiqian didn't expect that there were any opportunities for meritorious service here, and immediately asked with interest.

"There are 20,000 soldiers and horses in Lu Shangshu's department, even if Jianyu can fight again, he can't attack in a hurry, as the so-called tired soldiers are easy to lose, if they can break through Lu Shangshu's army in Jianyu, we will be able to do our best to attack from behind."

Unlike Yang Sichang's interests, which are mainly above the negotiation of peace with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Gao Qiqian is mainly simply afraid of death, so Liu Ximing will make this suggestion to him.

Rao is like this, Gao Qiqian still shook his head like a rattle, "It's not proper, it's not proper, if you really save Lu Xiangsheng, it's a bad thing, besides, the soldiers are in danger, who wants to do such a chore." ”

"I dare!"

Liu Ximing's eyes widened and he said.

"Hahaha, good new Amber, you are waiting for our family here."

Gao Qiqian smiled like an old fox on his face, "You said that you are a decent champion, as long as you stay up for two more years, there must be a place for you among the ministers, why are you in a hurry." ”

"Young man, listen to our family's advice, be good at making a living for your ministers, and you have a lot of credit, but you can't do the drudgery of robbing those thieves with the army."

Liu Ximing bowed slightly, "Thank you for your kindness, but Liu Moukong is loved by His Majesty, and at this time, he naturally wants to relieve His Majesty's worries." ”

"Dongyu is rampant, if you can't beat it hard, even if you want to negotiate peace in the future, you can only be led by the nose, and ask your father-in-law to do it, the lower officials really want to fight."

Gao Qiqian looked at Liu Ximing's expression carefully with a puzzled expression, "Are you really so decisive?" If you want to send troops, our family will not send one more soldier, and with your thousands of men and horses, I am afraid that it will not be enough to stuff the teeth. ”

"Father-in-law, rest assured, the lower official is just asking for a military merit, and he is not bent on dying, if there is no opportunity to take advantage of it, the lower official will naturally withdraw to protect himself, and will never give Dongyu a chance."

"Hey, it's really a young man, our family is also impulsive at your age", Gao Qiqian sighed with some regret.

To be honest, it feels really good for him to work with Liu Ximing during this time, this scholar is not as annoying as Donglin's gang, and he knows how to do things tactfully.

Pity......

"Forget it, then you can go yourself, but remember not to spoil our family's affairs."

For Liu Xi's sake in the past few years, Gao Qiqian still nodded and agreed.

Liu Ximing bowed over joy, "Gonggong Xie is complete." ”

Bidding farewell to Gao Qidive, Liu Xi's army under his command quickly took action, and the battle to clean up the camp attracted Guan Ningjun and other generals on the side to come to check.

"New Amber, where are you going?"

The young general in front of him had a simple round face, and the deliberately grown goatee made him look even more harmless to humans and animals.

It's just that Liu Ximing is very wary of this person in his heart, without him, this person is the current deputy general of the right battalion of the Guanning Army, Wu Sangui, who is only 26 years old.

"This official has obtained the consent of Gonggong Gao, and is about to go south to conquer Jianyu."

Liu Ximing turned over and got on the horse while explaining to Wu Sangui casually.

Wu Sangui's young face showed a hint of surprise, "I didn't expect that Duke Ming, as a civil official, would personally lead the troops into battle, Wu admired, if there was no military order, the last general would be eager to walk with his uncle." ”

"Hahaha, Vice General Wu is young and promising, you and I will fight together one day."

Liu Ximing laughed out loud with a pun and slapped his horse away.

In the camp of the Ming army in Shunyi, 7,000 soldiers and horses strode towards the outside of the camp in an orderly manner, and soon disappeared into the fields of Jizhou.

With Zhou Yuji, a veteran general, commanding, and all the arrangements for the front and rear horses in the army are properly arranged, Liu Ximing doesn't have to worry too much.

At this time, the Jianyu army had plundered to the southern part of Beizhili and the border with Shandong, and along the way, there were corpses everywhere, and the ground was full of devastation.

Holding back the grief and indignation in his heart, under the guidance of Tanma, Liu Ximing and his entourage successfully met with Cao Bianjiao and Shao Derong in the east of Zhending Mansion on the third day of the fifth month.

For a time, the military flags outside Zhending Mansion were unfurled, and the war horses neighed.

"Brother Cao, Lao Shao, I haven't seen you for many days, but I miss me, hahaha."

The two armies had just met, and Liu Ximing laughed, turned over and dismounted, and walked quickly towards Cao Bianjiao and Shao Derong.

Cao Bianjiao's face was still a little uncertain, but when he saw Liu Ximing's intimate look, it finally disappeared.

Liu Ximing saw all this in his eyes, he nodded at Shao Derong, who was full of excitement, and punched Cao Bianjiao in the chest.

"Why, when you are promoted, you don't recognize me as a brother?"

Cao Bianjiao was happy all of a sudden, "Hahaha, damn it, I'm still afraid that you, the champion, will look down on us." ”

"Fortunately, it's still my brother Liu, nothing has changed", Cao Bianjiao laughed and pointed at Shao Derong at Liu Ximing, and the two laughed together.

After catching up on the old days, Liu Ximing introduced Cao Bianjiao and Huang Zonghui and others to each other, and the two sides sat down again to talk about the current situation.

"Lu Shangshu is already in a deep predicament, the Jianyu thief chief Yuetuo led an army of 30,000 to surround him in Julu, the two sides have been fighting for three or four days, according to my spies' observations, the official army is probably less than 8,000 people."

Cao Bianjiao anxiously introduced the situation he knew, "If you hadn't asked me to wait here, I would have led the troops to rescue him, Lu Shangshu led the troops well, and he was a rare good official." ”

"It's a pity that he offended Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian", Liu Ximing interjected coldly.

Shao Derong and the others all looked at each other in shock.

Liu Ximing sighed and patted Shao Derong on the shoulder, "Now that the fighting between the DPRK and China is flourishing, and the Beijing camp is controlled by the internal prison, we can't afford to offend Gao Qiqian, he has said many times when I am leaving, you can't rescue Lu Shangshu without authorization, so we can only wait." ”

"Dog castration", Shao Derong stood up angrily and scolded, "I am waiting to fight on the front line, but these dog thieves only know how to drag me and retreat, there are these people in the world, how can they not die." ”

"Shut up"

"Shut up"

Liu Ximing and Cao Bianjiao both shouted at the same time.
