Outside the city of Tongzhou, the camp of the Tiance army.

A few days later, as soon as Liu Zi'an sent someone to send out a greeting post for the general of the Gyeonggi garrison, a group of fast horses from the military department rushed into the camp and brought an order from the military department to Liu Juntao, the chief military officer of Shandong Town.

At this time, it has been a few days since Yu Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, returned to the capital, and according to the information collected by the Ministry of Intelligence, those imperial historians in the court are still noisy, but compared to a few days ago, it is normal.

And Yu Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was also very protective of Liu Juntao, and also restrained the civilian forces in the court.

At the same time, Liu Juntao also noticed that Shi Heng, the governor of the right capital, would play Emperor Jingtai with a group of officials, and everyone thought that Xu Youzhen, who had supervised the imperial history, had made great achievements in serving for many years, and asked Emperor Jingtai to promote Xu Youzhen.

However, Emperor Jingtai always remembered that after Xu Youzhen's defeat in Tumubao, he clamored for the imperial court to move south to Nanjing, so he immediately vetoed Shi Heng and others, and transferred Xu Youzhen from the position of supervising the imperial history and changed it to the deputy imperial history of the left capital.

Although they are all imperial histories, the power of the deputy imperial history of Zuodu is limited, and it is still a deputy position, which makes Xu Youzhen very distressed, and many ministers in the court also sneer at him.

Liu Zi'an, Minister of Intelligence, also heard that Xu Youzhen specially found Shi Heng and others for this matter, and the two sides also quarreled in the restaurant, and finally Xu Youzhen was scolded by Shi Heng and driven away, and completely became the joke of the court, but I don't know if it is true!

However, Liu Zi'an still reported the quarrel between Xu Youzhen and Shi Heng to Liu Juntao, and then said: "Zongzhen, if this official position in the DPRK is made like Xu Youzhen, then what does it mean?" ”

Liu Juntao knew that Xu Youzhen was a famous official fan, so he laughed it off.

At this time, Liu Juntao received an order from the Ministry of War, and saw that the order read:

"Order, Liu Juntao, the chief military officer of Shandong Town, immediately led the Tiance army to move the camp and transferred it from Tongzhou to Desheng Gate to station, waiting for orders!"

After Liu Juntao read it, he immediately called Liu Zi'an and Tang Yu, and said: "The military department has an order, and the army will immediately go to Desheng Gate and camp outside." ”

Liu Zi'an frowned and said: "General Town, we are close to the capital, it is equivalent to lowering the eyelids of the minister of the DPRK, I am afraid that the Chinese official will even have to pick a bone in the egg!" ”

"Don't be afraid!"

Liu Juntao said with a smile: "Some scholars are just some scholars, why be afraid!" ”

Then, Liu Juntao said to Tang Yu: "The manpower of the Ministry of Commerce and the rest of the ministries should not act with the army, after arriving outside the Desheng Gate, our army will be too conspicuous, and the manpower of each department will not be easy to act!" ”

Tang Yu nodded and said, "Okay!" I immediately sent an order to the people of all ministries to enter Beijing in advance today, and I also set off with the people of the Ministry of Commerce! ”

After speaking, Tang Yu went on a trip with Liu Juntao and Liu Zi'an, and left the camp with people on the same day.

At this time, Liu Zi'an suddenly said: "Headquarters, we also invited the generals of the Gyeonggi garrison, should we wait for the banquet to be completed before pulling out the camp?" ”

Liu Juntao said with a smile: "Look at my memory, there have been so many things in the past few days, I actually forgot about it!" When is the prayer post? ”

"Tonight!"

"Good! The order went down, and the army set out early tomorrow morning and headed for Deshengmen. Tonight, let's not get drunk and go home! ”

That night, the generals of the Gyeonggi garrison came after taking the lead, and everyone was dressed in civilian clothes, all of them came with stomachs, and no one came with an entourage, obviously for fear of being recognized, and being caught by those imperial historians in the court and getting into trouble.

Liu Juntao also took Liu Zi'an to greet him outside the gate of the courtyard, and welcomed the generals into the Chinese army's tent one by one.

At this time, the banquet had been set up in the big tent of the Chinese army, and a huge table was placed in the center, on which nearly thirty dishes of food were steaming and fragrant.

Liu Juntao saw that everyone had arrived, so he took Liu Zi'an to sit down and greeted everyone one by one.

There were 13 generals of the Gyeonggi garrison who came this time, including two general soldiers and four staff generals, and the rest were guerrilla generals.

The two general soldiers, one named Lu Changyi, served as the chief soldier of Changping Town; One person is named Song Chonggui, who serves as the chief soldier of Miyun Town.

The rest of the generals and guerrilla generals were all generals in and out of the capital.

Although Lu Changyi and Song Chonggui are both chief military officers, they do not have many soldiers and horses and real power, to put it bluntly, they are just generals and garrisons with general ranks, and they are not the same as the real power chief military officers at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

What's more, Liu Juntao is also the chief military officer with real power to open the mansion, add the general seal of the army, seal the captain of the light car on the three products, and grant General Zhaoyong, with 100,000 troops to guard a province, which is far from being comparable to the two.

Therefore, as soon as everyone sat down and saluted, Lu Changyi and Song Chonggui took everyone to meet Liu Juntao with the salute of the lower officials.

And Liu Juntao is also calm, after all, although he wants to win over everyone to advance and retreat with him, he has no intention of obeying others' orders, and it is just right for these generals to obey his orders!

Then, Liu Juntao smiled and said some kind words, and began to eat and drink with everyone, Liu Zian also frequently poured wine and vegetables for everyone, and the entire Chinese army tent was suddenly very lively.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, everyone was drunk and hazy, and the words began to increase.

Liu Juntao said: "You have been in the capital for a long time, you must be living happily, this town is really envious!" ”

Then Liu Zi'an also agreed, with a very envious expression towards everyone.

But the generals were suddenly full of gloom.

Chief soldier Lu Changyi sighed and said: "General soldier Liu doesn't know, although we are generals in various parts of Gyeonggi, outsiders look extremely beautiful, but they are extremely depressed!" ”

Liu Juntao pretended not to know and asked, "Oh? And this kind of thing? ”

Lu Changyi said: "I am waiting all over Gyeonggi, and naturally under the noses of those civil officials in the court, a careless person will be caught by the imperial historian of the court and impeached, such a day can be described as walking on thin ice!" ”

At this time, the chief soldier Lu Changyi opened his mouth, and Song Chonggui also began to pour bitter water: "That's right! Those imperial historians in the court are like mad dogs, they pounce on them when they smell the fishy smell, we can't beat or scold, those imperial historians are still not afraid of death, once they are beaten and killed, the next day the world will know, these were originally biting people, and in a blink of an eye, they became loyal ministers! It's infuriating! ”

Liu Juntao nodded, the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty were also temperamental and bloody, and they were not all afraid of death.

It's just that sometimes, these civil officials use their integrity and blood in the wrong place!

Seeing this, the rest of the generals and guerrilla generals also opened their chatterboxes and began to tell their usual bitterness, and for a time the Chinese army's tent was in full swing.

Liu Juntao and Liu Zi'an also said a few words from time to time, and it didn't take long for the generals to talk to Liu Juntao and Liu Zi'an.

In the middle of the night, everyone was full of wine and food and ready to leave, everyone had a good impression of Liu Juntao, and they all left their words, saying that when the army was reorganized, they would definitely support Liu Juntao, and there was no second word!

After that, Liu Juntao sent people to send the generals into Tongzhou City, and the inn had been prepared in advance in the city, and then let everyone leave the next day.

After the generals left, Liu Juntao and Liu Zi'an returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, Liu Juntao said: "It seems that the generals in Gyeonggi are all depressed, and this Gyeonggi land is also the most obvious place for Wenjin and Wu, and if this situation develops, there will be big problems!" ”

Liu Zi'an also nodded and said: "I see that these generals are all timid, for fear of being caught by the imperial historian, once a war breaks out in this way, the general of the unified army will definitely look forward and backward, and it will definitely affect the battle situation!" ”

Liu Juntao said in a deep voice: "This situation must be reversed!" ”

"But how do we do that?"

Liu Juntao's eyes flashed and said, "No matter the cost!" ”

Early the next morning, Liu Juntao ordered the camp to set out, and 2,000 soldiers marched to ten miles outside the Desheng Gate and set up camp again.
