Lin Xiao divided the first battalion into two, and the deputy battalion commander Feng Gang led the machine gun platoon and the baggage company to carry the prisoners and baggage as the rear team to move forward normally, while he and Ding Shuai took the reconnaissance platoon and the three main companies as the front team, and accompanied Li Yuanyin's troops to ride their horses first, and crossed the Yongjiang River to the southern suburbs of Nanning in the afternoon of the next day.

There is a large school field in the southern suburbs, just on the edge of the South Lake, behind the school field is a barracks, there was originally a guard officers and soldiers stationed here, the barracks can accommodate more than 3,000 people, and then the guard was broken up and never came back, this barracks became an empty barracks.

Originally, the 600 cavalry sent by Sun Kewang was stationed in the northeast corner of the place, and later Zheng Guo brought more than 1,000 men and occupied half of the houses in the barracks.

After He Shouxin escorted Qu Shiyun to Nanning, Qu Shiyun cleaned two wooden houses in the northwest corner of the barracks and placed the guard platoon, and Sun Kewangbing was at both ends of the barracks.

After receiving Lin Xiao's order, He Shouxin ordered people to clean up the remaining vacant barracks, which was enough for more than 600 people to be stationed, and Li Yuanyin's forbidden army was going to enter the city to be stationed, so there was no need to place barracks here, and a simple barracks fence was built in the corner of the school field outside the camp to hold prisoners of war.

When Lin Xiao and Li Yuanyin arrived, He Shouxin was waiting on the edge of the Yongjiang River early, and immediately greeted the barracks, chatting all the way along, asking in detail about the troops of all parties in the city.

Lin Xiao hurriedly stepped forward, only to see that Qu Zhang and the others had already gotten off the sedan chair on the side of the road, because they were walking in the palace, so they were wearing black yarn and official clothes.

Lin Xiao caught a glimpse of the two of them, although their official uniforms were relatively formal, they were all in plain sedan chairs carried by four people, and there were only a few servants in their entourage, which showed that the court was quite poor and simple.

Immediately welcomed into the barracks, He Shouxin led Lin Xiao and them into the headquarters to taste tea and talk, and he accompanied Ding Shuai and them to the barracks where they were busy arranging the soldiers.

After everyone sat down, Lin Xiao carefully looked at the official uniforms of Qu and Zhang, and found that the colors and styles were the same, with a scarlet collar shirt and a belt around the waist, but the pattern of the complement on the chest of the two was different.

Zhang Tongchang found that Lin Xiao didn't speak, just sat and looked at their outfits with great interest, Li Yuanyin also blindly tasted tea, and was a little puzzled in his heart, so he arched his hand and smiled and said: "The two generals were tired of carriages and horses, and they should have rested for a while, but now the situation in the DPRK and China is critical, so the teacher brought the students to come immediately, which is really a bit abrupt." ”

Li Yuanyin smiled and said kindly: "Whatever Master Zhang says, it's all for the sake of Daming Sheji, why be polite, I'll wait but be sent by the emperor." ”

After speaking, he smiled and looked at Qu Shiyun, the meaning of his words was very clear, we are here, how to act is waiting for the will, and it is not good to move without the holy decree, so as not to fall into the hands of others.

Qu Shiyun understood, and he was not polite when he heard the words, tore open the lining of the official uniform, took out a small yellow cloth roll, stood up and said solemnly: "General Yuanbo, the emperor has a secret decree, the general will accept the decree." ”

Hearing this, Li Yuanyin hurriedly knelt down to listen to the order.

"The governor of Jinyi Wei knows Li Yuanyin, loyal and brave to serve the country, his heart is commendable, Yulin defeated the attack on Donghu in a battle, and killed the letter of the enemy chieftain, which has a great contribution to Sheji...... Li Yuanyin commanded the Jingwei, hung up the car and rode the general's seal, gave the Marquis of Nanyang, and immediately entered the palace, took over the palace guards, and took Ma Jixiang to the secretary. Chin this! ”

"Wechen obeys the command." Li Yuanyin kowtowed in response.

"Congratulations to General Yuanbo for being promoted to the Marquis, the Marquis has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, without further ado, please immediately accompany Governor Zhang and lead the troops into the palace King Qin."

After Qu Shiyun finished reading the holy decree, he handed the secret decree to Li Yuanyin with both hands, and said with a smile: "Don't forget to bring the body of the Confucian thief and present it to the emperor." ”

"Obedience!"

Li Yuanyin put his hands on the top, respectfully accepted the secret decree, then got up without being verbose, looked at Lin Xiao, hugged his fists and saluted, and went out with Zhang Tong.

"Uncle Yuan has beheaded the rebel generals three times, and he has decided to take the opportunity to act, and he has never been self-dedicated, he is loyal, wise and brave, he is indeed a talent, no wonder the emperor favors him."

Looking at Li Yuanyin's back, Qu Shiyun muttered.

"What my lord said is, I hope that the inner court will have his protection, and from now on, there will be no more chickens and dogs." Lin Xiao echoed, then squinted his eyes and teased, "Master Inspector, does the emperor have any secret decree for me?" ”

"You little fellow...... Sure enough, it's still a young man's temperament. Qu Shiyun raised his finger and pointed at Lin Xiao and said with a smile.

Qu Shiyun was in a very good mood today, seeing the arrival of Lin Xiao's army, his heart that had been hanging for a few days finally fell, and he saw that what he had been planning for a long time was about to become a reality, and from now on the imperial court would no longer be held hostage by Sun Kewang, and everything was developing towards a hopeful situation.

Especially hearing the good news of Kong Youde's punishment, his eyes were bright, and the deep wrinkles on both sides of his forehead and mouth seemed to be full of smiles, and even his hands and feet gradually brought a brisk rhythm.

"It's not a secret, the cabinet has already told the emperor the details of the righteous army, and the emperor was greatly moved and extremely pleased, and he has ordered the general to enter the palace to meet him, but ...... Wait patiently, someone in the palace will come soon. ”

"Someone from the palace? Preaching? ”

"Exactly! As long as Yuan Bo successfully controls the inner court, someone in the palace will come soon...... The emperor's meaning, the inner court will be handed over to Yuan Bo, as for here," Qu Shiyun pointed to the east and whispered, "Please ask General Shuangmu to you." ”

"You mean...... Zheng Guo? ”

"This is Ma Jixiang's biggest reliance," Qu Shiyun nodded, and said softly: "Speaking of which, this person is not too bad, just a martial artist, and he only listens to the orders of hope in everything, the emperor's will, if he knows each other, let him go, otherwise, ......"

Qu Shiyun said with his palm down on everything.

"Understood."

Lin Xiao stared at him and said, "I listened to Shouxin, the main forces that can be expected are all on the front line of Zunyi in northern Qianbei?" ”

"Exactly. However, he also sent a detachment to garrison Baise, and his heart was clearly revealed. Qu Shiyun muttered.

"Don't worry, adults, you can drive Zheng Guo away with you in the future."

Before the words fell, a loud voice came from outside the door:

"Is Qu Ge an old man here? Why don't you go to the camp of the last general? ”

He Shouxin hurriedly ran into the door and said: "Commander, someone is visiting, should you stop or let go?" ”

Lin Xiao looked at Qu Shiyun, Qu Shiyun frowned, and said softly: "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived." ”

Lin Xiao's eyes froze, and he ordered, "Let him come in." ”

"Yes!"

He Shouxin saluted and went out, and ordered loudly: "Let go!" ”

In the blink of an eye, a big man with two guards broke into the door, looking about forty years old, a head taller than Lin Xiao, extremely burly, with a pair of big eyes like copper bells on his purple-chested face, and a messy beard like a steel needle under his chin, as soon as he entered the door, he tore open his loud voice and shouted:

"The last general has seen the elder of the pavilion, and I heard that King Qin's soldiers and horses are coming? …… Who is this little brother? ”

"This is General Zheng."

Qu Shiyun nodded, ignored him, and turned his head to Lin Xiao and said lightly.
