(Guys, the second chapter will definitely not be able to be made before twelve o'clock, so it will be more garbled chapters first, and the author promises to correct it before one o'clock, so friends who go to bed early don't have to wait!) sorry！ ）

Taixi County, Guangde Prefecture, northwest is located one of the most important checkpoints of the Ming Dynasty, Luoyun Pass.

Luoyun Pass was garrisoned by Tai Xiwei, but the recent attack on Liangzhou by the Golden Horde also made the Luoyun Pass side strengthen its defense.

According to the order of Yongxi Dusi, not only did Taixiwei itself draw defensive forces, but also increased troops from other guards to defend.

At this time, Cao Yunchun stood on the wall of Luoyun Pass, looking at the desert connected to the sky outside the pass.

Standing beside Cao Yunchun was Chen Xiaoting, who was invited by Cao Yunchun to inspect the government and army in the entire Yongxi territory.

The two of them united, and they can go to all the territory of Yongxi.

Pressing one hand on the city wall, Cao Yunchun turned his head to Chen Xiaoting and said, "Lord Chen, I have heard about your affairs in the governor's yamen, you are really majestic!" ”

"Those civil officials have always been above the top, we call them factory guards...... It's hateful! ”

Speaking of this, Cao Yunchun couldn't help patting Chen Xiaoting on the shoulder and said, "You can be regarded as avenging us!" ”

Cao Yunchun was willing to show goodwill, and Chen Xiaoting was not afraid of many friends, so he said with a smile: "Gonggong Cao praised it falsely, but he was just conveying the emperor's will, and the officials were afraid of the emperor's authority!" ”

Cao Yunchun was still smiling kindly, but his evaluation of Chen Xiaoting was a little higher in his heart.

Not everyone can remain calm and humble in the highlights, but Chen Xiaoting did it, so Cao Yunchun admires him very much.

"No wonder you're in where you are now, you're really good at talking!" Cao Yunchun shook his head and said.

Chen Xiaoting looked into the distance and diverted the topic: "Gonggong Cao, Luoyun Pass is a pivotal place, and I don't know much about military affairs, according to your opinion...... Is it safe to defend here? ”

This is really not Chen Xiaoting's humility, the army in this era is completely different from his previous life, so it is difficult for Chen Xiaoting to intuitively estimate the combat power.

And Cao Yunchun, as the eunuch guarding Dongchang Town, has done so many full-time prison guards before and after, and he is always more expert than Chen Xiaoting.

"Although there are more than 10,000 troops here, the stored grain, grass and ordnance are only enough for half a month...... At most, it will last for half a month! Cao Yunchun estimated.

"But grain and grass can be supplied continuously, so there are 10,000 defenders in Luoyun Pass, so you can be safe and sound and wait for reinforcements to arrive!" Chen Xiaoting said with a smile.

Cao Yunchun turned around and said slowly: "So this requires you and me to work together to ensure the stability of the situation in Yongxi, so that we can fully support the Luoyun Pass garrison!" ”

Therefore, there must be no chaos in Yongxi, and here Cao Yunchun is reminding Chen Xiaoting to deter the White Lotus Sect.

"What my father-in-law said is reasonable!" Chen Xiaoting said in a deep voice.

By now, the two of them have been tied together, so working together is inevitable.

At this moment, the commander of Tai Xiwei made Wang Xiangzhen come to the city wall.

will remember the first time I met Wang Xiangzhen eight years ago, and now he is old, and it is not surprising that he will step down in the next two years.

Officials at the level of commanders, commanders, and commanders cannot be hereditary according to the rules of the imperial court, which means that his son can only fill the vacancy of a thousand households.

This is undoubtedly a huge gap, so in the last two years of her tenure, Wang Xiangzhen went everywhere to ask for relationships, just so that her son could have a good place to go when he made up for the vacancy.

The guard house is like a pool of stagnant water, and only when the officials are replaced, will it show a lost vitality.

And if you want to go through the door, the great god of the eunuch can't get around, so Wang Xiangzhen's posture is very low.

"Father-in-law Cao, lunch has been prepared below, the army is full of vulgar martial artists, don't dislike it!" Wang Xiangzhen said with a smile.

In fact, according to his idea, he invited the chef from Taixi, but Cao Yunchun rejected it.

"I'm really hungry, so let's go!" Cao Yunchun said to Chen Xiaoting.

Wang Xiangzhen also said: "Lord Chen, please too!" ”

At the beginning, that young man has not only become the deputy Qianhu of Jinyiwei, but also the Qincha of Yongxi sent by the emperor.

Therefore, Wang Xiangzhen can only look up to Chen Xiaoting now, and only she knows the sourness in her heart.

"Grandpa Cao, please!" Chen Xiaoting said with a smile.

So, the three of them went down the city tower together and walked into the military camp next to them.

This meal, logically speaking, should have been staggered, but Chen Xiaoting and Cao Yunchun didn't want to talk nonsense, so they ate a little dull.

After lunch, Cao Yunchun found a camp tent to rest.

And Chen Xiaoting also declined Wang Xiangzhen's invitation and walked on the city wall alone again.

The walls of Luoyunguan were thick, but looking at the bleak next door in the distance, Chen Xiaoting felt palpitations for no reason.

Now that the Ming Dynasty is in a full-scale war, the battle in Liangzhou is becoming more and more intense, and the Yongxi side is already supporting the grain, grass and ordnance, and the main force of the Beijing camp has also rushed to the northwest.

Yongxi is close to Liangzhou, and although there is such a natural danger as Luoyun Pass, it is also facing a huge military threat.

"My lord, there's news from Mr. Liu's side!"

Yang Kai's voice remembered from behind, Chen Xiaoting retracted his mind, turned around and asked, "What news?" ”

Yang Kai lowered his voice: "Liu Zongqi led people to rob the official food and established his prestige in Wujia Village, and now the villagers are grateful to him!" ”

Chen Xiaoting nodded, this is all expected, the grain that Liu Baoquan snatched back fed many people, and it is normal to buy people's hearts.

At this time, Yang Kai continued: "According to the news from Liu Zongqi, the matter of him leading people to rob the official grain has been known to the Pingyuan Xianghui, and the people over there are about to look for him!" ”

"What does Liu Zongqi mean, do you have any instructions on this? Is it to directly arrest the people of the Pingyuan Xianghui, or let him continue to lurk! ”

Liu Baoquan did everything well, although he knew what Chen Xiaoting would choose, he still handed over the choice.

Chen Xiaoting smiled, and then said, "Send a message to Liu Baoquan, let him continue to lurk, and contact the higher levels of the White Lotus Sect!" ”

Only by putting a long line can you catch big fish, although the people of the Pingyuan Xianghui already have weight, they are still too light compared to the higher-level White Lotus Sect anti-thieves.

"Yes!" Yang Kai bowed and saluted.

At this time, Chen Xiaoting added another sentence: "Tell Liu Baoquan and Xu Danian that the two of them must cooperate with each other and help each other!" ”

Liu Baoquan went deep into the tiger's den, and Xu Danian was responsible for communication and support, and the two of them had to cooperate sincerely to get the errand done.

"In addition, Liu Baoquan is given the right to act cheaply, so he doesn't have to ask for instructions on everything in the future!" Chen Xiaoting said indifferently.

The speed of the interrogation is too slow in these years, and it is better to give full play to Liu Baoquan's subjective initiative, Chen Xiaoting believes in his ability.

"Yes!" Yang Kai replied again.

Just as he was about to turn around and send someone to convey the order, Chen Xiaoting suddenly asked, "Can the people who go to Guangde for interrogation be sent?" ”

This is also a big deal, Yang Kai immediately said: "Don't worry, my lord, you will send it out after you order!" ”
