Several fast horses galloped past, and the slush splashed on them affected many soldiers along the way. However, when they saw the knight's attire, all these soldiers held their breath and remained silent, and although they were annoyed in their hearts, their faces still looked respectful.

The cavalry parted ways in front of a tent, and two of them walked slowly into the muddy path, and immediately the knights saw a lot of dirty excrement along the way, and they couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses. After leaving the trail, Shi removed his palms, and one of them took a deep breath and said: "Damn, even if it is temporarily stationed, this discipline can't be so lax, this rear camp is becoming more and more unpresentable." ”

The other person smiled bitterly and said, "Old Meng, you just bear with it." The rear camp is now in charge of Zhang Miao's hands, and he knows what the rules are in the camp. What is close to Zhu is red, and close to ink is black, the rear camp will become like this, which is reasonable. ”

The man who spoke in front of his head shook his head again and again and said: "No, it can't be done, order in the camp is a major matter for soldiers, and you must not relax for half a minute." You see that the weather is cold now, but if it is a dog day, this mess will not be cleaned up in time, and the epidemic will be prohibited. The illness came like a mountain, and if the enemy did not come at that time, we were afraid that we would have to reimburse a large area first. ”

When the knight next to him heard this, he was silent, and after a while, he said, "Let's go back and talk about this, let's do the business first." After saying that, the two of them clamped the horse's belly at the same time and galloped again.

These two people are none other than Feijie Junqian, the one with the long face is Meng Aocao, and the one with a pothole in the face is Lian Buxin. The Feijie army also crossed the Shenshui not long ago, and the two of them were now instructed by Zhao Dangshi to come to the rear camp of the old army to spread the news.

After going around and around for a while, the two met the person they were looking for on the road, and they began to greet them from a long distance. Lian Buxin stood across the horse, and Meng Aocao took a few steps forward, turned over, and led the horse as he walked: "Staff Officer Yang, the main military order." ”

The person opposite was Yang Zhaofeng, he was stunned and pointed at himself: "Me? ”

Meng Aocao nodded and said, "Not bad." The lord wants you to rush to the Chinese military tent to report before Shen Shi and go north with the army. ”

"Going north with the army?" Yang Zhaofeng was puzzled, "I heard that the whole army is going south to attack Suining in the near future, but why is it going north?" ”

Meng Aocao pondered for a moment and replied, "The details are unknown, but it is probably that the Chicheng Mountain side needs support." The lord is ready to send General Xu to lead his troops into battle, and I hope you can accompany him. ”

Hearing him say this, Yang Zhaofeng probably guessed the reason for going north. At present, the main force of the Zhao battalion has been assembled on the south bank of Shenshui, and only the Tsing Yi Army is still on standby in Chicheng Mountain. Presumably, Tan Daxiao or Kong Quanbin still don't give up and make a comeback, so they need to send someone to pick up the Tsing Yi Army's southward retreat. And the reason why he let himself follow the army must be because he has acted in that area and has a better understanding of the situation of the enemy and us.

The right battalion of the first army was destroyed with the death of Hao Shaoqi, and the Zhao battalion did not immediately reorganize the right battalion, so as far as the current situation is concerned, Yang Zhaofeng is actually in a state of "to be distributed". In this state, there is naturally no reason to refuse Zhao Dangshi's call for him, not to mention that the person who needs to be assisted on this trip is himself and even Hao Shaoqi's old superior, Xu Hui.

"You must go to the Zhongjun tent before Shen Shi, and the specific errand lord will tell you." Meng Aocao solemnly repeated it, turned his head to look at Lian Buxin not far away, and continued, "The two of us have other things to do, so I won't stay longer." Staff Officer Yang took care of the time himself. After saying that, he led the horse away. After a short time, I saw him return to the horse and gallop away with Lian Buxin.

Yang Zhaofeng watched the second horse walk away, sighed lightly, turned around and walked a few steps, and got into a small camp.

"He, they're gone?" As soon as he entered, someone inside asked him, and his tone was a little flustered.

Whenever he saw her, no matter how troubled and tired he was, Yang Zhaofeng could always be instantly excited, and he was no exception at this time, he put aside his sorrow and said with a smile: "It's okay, come to me." ”

"Coming for you?" The one who spoke was a woman, she was Kuang Wan who was rescued by Yang Zhaofeng in the Guangshan of Suining, and her identity was exposed when Yang Zhaofeng returned to the camp. Now, not only Zhao Dangshi, but most of the officers in the battalion who only have a slightly higher position know about her being Kuang Zhao's daughter. Although Zhao Dangshi learned her identity, he did not make further interrogation, and arranged it in the back camp. However, whether she is herself or Yang Zhaofeng, she has always been secretly uneasy in her heart.

"What do they want you to do?" After Yang Zhaofeng's meticulous care along the way, Kuang Wan's body also improved by half, and her face reappeared ruddy and angry, she was uneasy in her heart, and asked further.

Yang Zhaofeng replied truthfully: "Today I will go out with the army." ”

"Oh." Kuang Wan responded when he heard this, didn't say anything more, and said after a while, "Isn't there another one left?" ”

Yang Zhaofeng bit his lip and said, "This is also a matter of no way, the lord has a call, so he has to go." After speaking, he added, "But don't worry, I will let a few people watch carefully here, and no one will be able to harass you for half a point." ”

"It's all your fault, why did you tell me my identity!" Kuang Wan suddenly became angry and glared at Yang Zhaofeng.

Yang Zhaofeng's heart tightened, and he hurriedly explained: "No, no, you misunderstood, I shook out your identity to protect you." If you don't do this, you're afraid, you're afraid, you're only afraid that you'll be in Nanchong, you'll be ......" Later, I couldn't continue.

"How's it going?" Kuang Wan sneered and looked at the embarrassed young man in front of him. She can now vent all her dissatisfaction and anger in front of him without fear, and even scold angrily sometimes, because she found that Yang Zhaofeng likes her.

What a powerful weapon this is. Any emotion in this world is not as tenacious and strong as the affection for a person. Yang Zhaofeng is humble, but not cowardly, especially after many experiences, he is becoming more and more hard-hearted. It's just that such a strong heart has all turned into finger wrapping softness at the moment when the love first opens, and he just wants to please Kuangwan, want to make her laugh, and want to see her smile with satisfaction. Even though he found that he had gradually lost himself, he was still happy to do it.

Kuang Wan was aware of this, and at first, she felt scared and even disgusted, but when she slowly discovered that Yang Zhaofeng was completely immersed in her love for herself and couldn't extricate herself, she naturally had other ideas. She began to test Yang Zhaofeng's bottom line step by step, and constantly stimulated this young child who was new to love with words or actions, and finally she was surprised to find that in front of herself, Yang Zhaofeng seemed to have no bottom line at all, even if she bluntly asked Yang Zhaofeng to let herself go back, Yang Zhaofeng did not refuse, but analyzed the many difficulties she is currently facing for her in an orderly manner.

This vile and disgusting rogue, he is really very naïve!

Kuang Wan cursed like this in his heart more than once, but he usually had a disguised smile on his face.

She couldn't imagine that a rogue who was as humble as an ant would shamelessly come to hook up with her. She is the daughter of the eunuch family, and in her world, her Ruyi Langjun is a son of a family who is as personable and full of poetry and books as Lu Qian in her father's story. If it weren't for the belief in using Yang Zhaofeng to escape from the tiger's mouth, she would probably have to pour out all the resentment in her stomach by now.

"Don't worry, this place is inconspicuous, and no one will find it here." Yang Zhaofeng held his head high, trying to make his thin figure bigger. But the more he swore and promised with a sense of responsibility, in Kuangwan's opinion, it was even more ridiculous.

Driven by the strong survival **, Kuang Wan finally held back his anger and grievances, pretended to be indifferent, and nodded: "Well, I believe you, I'm here waiting for you to come back." ”

A kind of joy and pride of being trusted arose spontaneously in Yang Zhaofeng's heart, and he was so excited that he almost stepped forward to grab Kuang Wan's hand to show his heart, but Kuang Wan seemed to notice his thoughts and seemed to retreat half a step in advance. This small action was seen by Yang Zhaofeng, and he immediately calmed down like a scoop of cold water, and he secretly scolded himself for being ill-intentioned and shameless, and hung his head embarrassedly.

The army of Zhao Ying, which had gathered on the south bank of Shenshui, began to move after a day of rectification. The whole army was divided into three: the first one, led by Xu Hui and Guo Ruke, led by 3,000 people, advanced to the northwest and went to the direction of Pengxi Chicheng Mountain to support the Tsing Yi army stationed there; the second, led by Hou Dagui, led by 2,000 people from the front battalion of the old army, to Suining, where Qin Jinxiao's 2,000 men would also join him; The third group, the remaining right battalion, rear battalion, remnants of the left battalion and the Feijie army, totaling less than 4,000 people, advanced to the southeast under the leadership of Zhao Dangshi.

The next target of the whole army was Dingyuan County, located in the northernmost part of Chongqing Prefecture. There are several ferry crossings to cross the Jialing River. Therefore, the strategy set by the three armies that parted ways also revolved around Dingyuan. Zhao Dangshi took the people and horses to Dingyuan to go to Dingyuan, the wind and snow are getting bigger, before the snow is not completely blocked the road, take a quick step, there will be one more chance of escaping. The order given to Xu Hui, who went north, was that once he met with the Tsing Yi Army, he should not fall in love with the war, and immediately go south and settle away. The instruction given to Hou Dagui to go south was to keep an eye on Suining County, asking him to ensure that he would not be disturbed by any attack from other places during the passage of the headquarters, and when the headquarters arrived in Dingyuan, he could lead the troops to join him.

It stands to reason that Hou Dagui's task to go south is not heavy. The officers and troops in Suining City are not more than 3,000, and he plus Qin Jinxiao has more than 4,000 people, and it is not difficult to target 3,000 with 4,000 when Zhao Dangshi did not ask for the siege. It's just that the arrogant Hou Dagui scoffs at this goal. For a long time, for various reasons, Zhao Dangshi often let Xu Hui fight independently, but repeatedly refused Hou Dagui's request to lead the troops independently, seeing that Xu Hui had won countless military exploits because of this, and there was a faint tendency to climb to the top of himself, Hou Dagui was in danger, how could he not grasp this opportunity? After holding back for a long time, he secretly made up his mind, thinking about how to perform well in this battle, in order to regain Zhao Dangshi's favor for him.

Thinking about it, there is only one way to capture Suining.

Zhao Dangshi's request was to limit the opportunity for Suining soldiers to go out to attack and harass, but as for how to limit it, it was not clear. The most superficial solution is, of course, to guard the main roads outside the city and keep an eye on the inside of the city, but if you can capture the city, then on the one hand, you will not overstep your responsibilities, and on the other hand, you can also show your ability.

As for how to achieve the goal of capturing Suining, Hou Dagui did not think about it. 4,000 people are enough to mark people, but it is a little powerless to attack the heavily guarded county town. Especially the combat effectiveness of the 2,000 people in the front battalion of the old army is really not flattering, only with Qin Jinxiao, even if Hou Dagui has the heart, Qin Jinxiao thinks about his own people, and he will probably not agree to him to attack the city.

In the midst of the snow and the wind, Hou Dagui and his 2,000 soldiers and horses went out of the camp to the south. After half a day's march, they arrived at the Shimaping area in the north of Suining, and from here they could reach Beiba by walking more than 20 miles. Beiba is a large township, fertile and rich, and the population is prosperous, according to previous news, Hou Dagui learned that Lu Daqi's clan is basically in Beiba.

However, as he thought, the Lu family in Beiba has all taken refuge under the protection of Suining County, and even together with many towns and towns around Suining, including Beiba, a large number of people have moved into Suining with their families. Zhao Ying was in a hurry to go south, and it was by no means a temporary idea to be able to do this in a short period of time, so it can be seen that Lu Daqi had already made all the preparations before, leaving a way back.

In Beiba, the scouts checked several times, turned all the houses and forts, and even the dou cellars, tunnels, etc., turned everything upside down, and found nothing valuable. The biggest gain may be that several aphrodisiac sea dog whips were copied in a dark room of the Lu family.

The plan to capture the relatives of the Lu family and use it as a threat failed, and the hope of capturing Suining County seemed to be more and more out of reach.
