After all, it is not easy to get promoted on weekdays, and it is not uncommon for some people to be stuck in the position of Baizong for three or four years or even more than ten years.

But in the current war period, it is already very heavy, which shows that no matter if you make great contributions in this year, your official position is locked in the position of Bai Zong and cannot be promoted, and this punishment is already very heavy.

However, Cao Yingmao couldn't say that Yang Feng's punishment was too heavy, after all, Yang Feng had already issued a killing order for Tian Jianxiu beforehand, but this Bai Zong retreated because he saw Liukou's brigade.

Seeing Cao Yingmao's somewhat sneering expression, Yang Feng waved his hand, "Okay, you don't have any pressure, this matter is excusable, there is no need to think about promotion in this year, let him reflect on it, there will still be a chance in the future." ”

"Grandpa Guo is right, he will talk about him when he goes back." Cao Yingmao said respectfully.

After dealing with this matter, Yang Feng said with a smile: "Okay, even if this matter is over, we should recover Ningguo Mansion next, but I don't know if the thieves will not be able to shrink out of the turtle like they did in Anqing Mansion this time." ”

The generals laughed, and the generals secretly rubbed their hands one by one, listening to the report that they did not receive at night, stationed in Ningguo Mansion was a thief named Liu Zongmin, but the grandfather of the country said, if anyone can slaughter Liu Zongmin, those below the length will be promoted to three levels, and those above the hundred can be promoted to one level, and will be rewarded with 3,000 taels of silver or 500 acres of fertile land outside the gate.

This reward can be said to be very heavy, especially for the Chinese people, promotion is certainly a glorious thing, but the land is a lifeblood that can be passed down from generation to generation, and there is nothing more important in the world than land for the Chinese people.

For a while, pairs of hot eyes looked at Yang Feng, waiting for him to give the order to attack.

Yang Feng naturally saw the eyes of the generals, and just as he was about to speak, a night bully suddenly came to report: "Grandpa Qiguo, the north gate and the east gate of Ningguo Mansion suddenly opened, and a group of rogues began to escape from these two city gates. ”

"What, the rogues ran away?"

The crowd couldn't help but be amazed.

"Why didn't you stop them?" Yan Di scolded angrily.

The person who didn't accept hundreds of people at night said aggrievedly: "The villain tried to stop them, but there were too many thieves, and they really couldn't stop them!" ”

"You!" Yan Di wanted to scold again, but after thinking about it, he could only stomp his feet with hatred.

Ye Bu Hui was not originally doing this, although Ye Bu Hui can be said to be the most elite troops in the Jiangning Army, but the number is too small, and it is impossible to let dozens of people stop thousands of people, he hurriedly said to Cao Ying, "Lao Cao, hurry up and send all your people out to chase, maybe it's still too late." ”

"It's too late."

Cao Yingmao shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile.

The cavalry battalion has already been sent out because of the pursuit of Tian Jianxiu, because of the capture of a lot of gold, silver and food, these cavalry are now escorting those supplies to rush back, until now it has not been completely built, I can collect less than two or three hundred people now, what can this person do, if the rogues scatter and flee, it will be even more difficult to pursue.

Yan Di scolded angrily: "Alas, these thieves, if they don't run early or late, they run at this time, their luck is too good." ”

"Maybe someone did it on purpose?" Gou Xingma on the side suddenly spoke.

Everyone was stunned.

"Impossible." Yan Di said in disbelief.

"Who knows." Yang Feng also said, "If this matter is really intentional by Liu Zongmin, then we should be careful, this person should not be so simple." ”

Ningguofu returned to the embrace of the Ming court after being lost for more than half a month, but like Anqing Mansion, Ningguofu at this time was already full of holes after the devastation of the rogues, and all the gentry and wealthy households were looted, even ordinary people were not spared.

Just when Yang Feng led a large army into the city, Liu Zongmin had already led a large group of men and horses to make a detour along another road towards Huizhou Mansion.

Liu Zongmin rode on a horse, with an unconcealed pride on his face, and his subordinates next to him also kept flattering him after seeing this, and the smile on Liu Zongmin's face never stopped.

After walking for a while, Liu Zongmin summoned another confidant and asked quietly, "Liu Hong, have you done what I asked you to do?" ”

This subordinate general named Liu Hong is very young, but he is about twenty years old, and he is a cousin of Liu Zongmin, who has won his trust, and Liu Zongmin usually entrusts him with important matters.

Liu Hong nodded and said: "Big brother, don't worry, I have sent someone to quietly transport your things away a few days ago and buried them in the place you ordered, and the people in charge of burying them have all been wiped out by me, and no third person knows about this matter except you and me." ”

"That's good." Liu Zongmin nodded: "This matter must not be disclosed to anyone, we are doing a knife licking blood." Don't look at us doing a good job, but the fact is impermanence, and we may let the officers and soldiers suppress it at any time.

If we are defeated, relying on those gold and silver, we can have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of our lives, and be a happy rich man. Our old Liu family is left with our brothers, if there is an accident in the future, you must live, the roots of the old Liu family must not be broken with us, do you understand? ”

"Big brother!"

Liu Hong couldn't help but get excited when he heard this, and was about to say something, but was stopped by Liu Zongmin.

I saw him say faintly: "His grandmother's, for some reason, I always feel that something is wrong these days." Do you think that our rebel army has been living too smoothly these days, attacking cities and plundering land in Jiangnan one after another, if it were according to the strength of the Jiangning army, they should have killed them a long time ago, could it be that they are ......?"

Speaking of this, Liu Zongmin shook his head again, "Impossible, the imperial court can't be so stupid, Jiangnan is such an important place, how could they deliberately let us act recklessly here?" ”

Speaking of this, Liu Zongmin couldn't help but think hard.

Looking at Liu Zongmin, who was thinking hard, Liu Hong knew very well that his cousin's rough appearance actually had a smart heart.

Liu Zongmin has always given people the impression of being brave and rough in battle, but in fact, Liu Zongmin also has a delicate side, as early as half a month ago, he ordered himself to divide the gold and silver antiques plundered these days into two parts, one is to be transported to Huizhou Mansion and handed over to King Chuang, but the other part was hidden by him, and sent himself to hide the gold and silver in a hidden place, once something is wrong, it can also be used as their retreat.
