Chapter 20 The Mighty Men Went on the Expedition

"The injuries on my body are just right, how can I have to go." Yan Yumeng complained while helping Shen Chongming pack his bags. Shen Chongming has been recuperating at home for nearly three months, which is also the longest time the two have been alone since they met, and I don't feel bored when they are tired of being together all day long.

But now that the injury has just healed, I first went to the barracks as an errand boy, and in less than a month, I had to go far away, and I was still leading the troops to fight, and I didn't see each other for a long time, not to mention for the time being, and I was in danger.

"Okay, isn't it just a few little thieves, I'm sure I'll be able to come back to you in two months to check it out." Shen Chongming hugged Yan Yumeng's slender waist from behind, and his two big hands touched upwards dishonestly. Don't say, it's been so many years and I'm still a little boy, look at the protagonists who have crossed over in the book, it's either a few months or a group of wives and concubines, and I'm really a failure.

Slapping away Shen Chongming's bad hand, Yan Yumeng turned around with a small mouth, but he was not angry, but hugged Shen Chongming and lingered.

"Childe, you have to come back early, Yumeng is waiting for you at home, and then you ...... You can do whatever you want. The big watery eyes looked at Shen Chongming with love, and the words he said were even more seductive, Shen Chongming didn't have time to shoot a pillar of optimus, he felt that the pressure on his head had increased greatly, and two streams of nosebleeds were gurgling out.

"Yumeng, I'll wait until the day I get married." Although he couldn't wait to bully her now, Shen Chongming also knew that all girls liked to leave their bodies and hand them over to their husbands on the day they got married.

Yan Yumeng, who was smiling and wiping Shen Chongming's nosebleed, was stunned, and said with tenderness on her face: "Childe, you are so good." ”

"My lord, why did you come to the military department for what?" The new general Ma Erdan looked at the plaque of the military department in front of him and couldn't help asking.

Men are afraid of entering the wrong industry, and they are even more afraid of following the wrong person. Ma Erdan is a good example, since he was taken by Shen Chongming, his status has risen sharply, not to mention, just a few days ago, he became the head of the Shenji Battalion of the Sixth Rank in the blink of an eye, this position was originally Ma Erdan's lifelong goal for himself, and he didn't wait for the battlefield to play with his life, so easily realized.

For this reason, Ma Erdan was very dizzy for a few days, and the first thing he woke up every day was to catch a few people and ask him if he had really become the president.

"Nonsense, of course I'm here to run errands, go, go in." Shen Chongming put the iron helmet on his head with a horsewhip, said a word coaxingly, and strode towards the gate of the military headquarters.

The few sergeants on duty in front of the door were bluffed by this outfit, and they didn't recognize it at first, knowing that Shen Chongming was only confirmed when he was close, and immediately greeted him with a happy face. "Lord Shen, you haven't come to see our brothers in the military department for a few days."

"Hehe, hello everyone. This official is on official business today, and we will be intimate and affectionate another day. Shen Chongming arched his hands at the sergeants with a smile on his face, and there was no arrogance at all.

"Okay, please." The sergeants are also happy, this is like the men in the army, but there are no civil officials and lords who look down on people.

This time I returned to the military department can be regarded as returning to my hometown, and my colleagues in the old days didn't care if they were familiar with it or not, if it weren't for Shen Chongming's real emergency, I am afraid that it would take a few hours to find the squire Sun Deliang.

"Xiaguan Shen Chongming see Lord Sun, how are you doing lately?" Shen Chongming and Sun Shilang are very familiar with each other, and they have a good impression of each other, so Shen Chongming did not have the slightest restraint when he saluted.

"Hehe, I've seen you kid a long time ago, and my mother's house will make trouble after a while, and the guys outside won't be able to do a good job of greeting you when they come to greet you." Sun Shilang is also very happy, no matter what, this Shen Chongming is a person who walked out of the military department, he can have today's achievements, and his boss is also happy. "Anyway, it's probably not good for you kid to come."

"Hehe, my lord. Xia Guan came this time to ask for a paperwork. Shen Chongming's face was full of smiles, if it weren't for the fact that everyone was very familiar, he was afraid that Sun Shilang would think that he had some conspiracy against him.

"You are Lord Qincha, with the holy decree given by the emperor in your hand, what else do you need to do with this thing?" Shen Chongming's appointment as the chief military officer of the Qincha Sun Shilang has already heard about it, this is a golden signboard, and no one dares to mess with it in the locality.

"My lord, this holy decree will not take effect until Guangdong, and the documents of the lower officials are prepared to be used in Yingtianfu." Shen Chongming originally planned to take a boat south with people and horses, but after calculating it, such expenses were really not small. In line with the idea of sharing worries for the king, it was decided to secondment 500 war horses in Nanjingwei.

But his face is too small, he doesn't have the qualifications of his husband, and if he also flies pigeons to pass on books, he is afraid that other birds will not be birds, so he can only go to the Yamen of the Ministry of War to ask for a war horse secondment document through regular channels.

Hearing his words, Sun Shilang couldn't help but nod and smile: "Hehe, not bad." can think about the court everywhere, no wonder the emperor values you so much, this document is for you! As he spoke, he wrote a secondment document in front of Shen Chongming, and called a sergeant to order him to hurry up and hand over the horse to Nanjing Wei, and be sure to prepare the war horse when Shen Chongming disembarked at Zhenjiang Mansion.

Seeing the sergeant hurrying away with the papers, Shen Chongming got up and thanked, "Thank you for your care." "Hehe, see the outside, the matter of eating the king's Lu and loyalty, we are all doing errands for the emperor, we warriors don't want to fight for that set of things, this official wishes you a victory, and then make new achievements!"

Everything on the road was arranged, and it was already evening. The battle situation was urgent, and Shen Chongming rushed to Tongzhou overnight with 500 troops, where the warships were already ready, and as soon as they arrived at the place, they could board the ships and go straight to Zhenjiang Mansion.

The journey was uneventful, but Shen Chongming was excited, eager to make new contributions to the eradication of the Liukou, but Yan Yumeng at home frowned.

"This girl, I don't know who you're looking for?" Looking at the woman in front of her who was covered with a white veil for most of the night, if it weren't for Xiaoqing and the little junior sister who came to accompany her, Yan Yumeng would have been frightened.

Zhao Ziqian didn't speak, these days she often sneaked into the small courtyard quietly, and stood at the head of Shen Chongming's bed with a sword several times, but she never got her hands on it.

I followed him today to know that this guy had gone to the place to harm people again, so he knocked on the door openly, wanting to see what kind of person the woman in Shen Chongming's family was, and how she was compared to herself.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the door opened, he found that the girl who was shopping with Shen Chongming earlier was also there, and his brows couldn't help frowning, could it be that Shen Chongming was not quietly messing with flowers?

"Girl, what's wrong with you?" Seeing the woman in front of her standing there without speaking, the little junior sister couldn't help but step forward and ask, this woman seemed to have seen it somewhere.

Looking at the appearance of the two, it is clear that they are quite familiar. Zhao Ziqian couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, this time she originally wanted to expose Shen Chongming's ugly face to the other party, but the situation in front of her immediately made Zhao Ziqian not know what to do.

After thinking about it, he decided to speed away, so as not to get into unnecessary trouble, if he said it, the two of them would definitely be suspicious, and he was Shen Chongming.

Seeing that the woman in white turned around and left without saying a word, this time it really frightened the little junior sister who never believed in ghosts and gods, "Sister Yumeng, is this a person or a ghost?" ”

Zhao Ziqian was also frightened, shook her head and said, "Don't talk about this, hurry back to the house." ”

Shen Chongming didn't know about this little episode at home, but he was really in trouble in Guangzhou City right now, not for anything else, just because he knew little about the enemy situation and the local officials.

"Lord Qincha, this former group of bandits is very likely to be in Lubu Town now." The one who spoke was Su Chenwu, the capital of Guangdong, this guy was over fifty years old, and his height was equal to his waist circumference due to his fat. As soon as he spoke, the fat on his body trembled, and the chair under his ass let out a piercing moan.

Shen Chongming frowned, this is the real wine bag and rice bag, and the bandits on his own territory are not sure where they are, and what are they talking about.

"Lord Su, isn't there a little definite news? For example, what is the composition of Zeng Yi's bandits, and how many people are there? Shen Chongming said helplessly, when he first arrived in Guangdong, although it seemed that these people welcomed him very much, but they didn't know anything about the enemy in their eyes, and there was no way to talk about arranging troops to exterminate the bandits.

"This ...... According to all kinds of information, Zeng Yi's men and horses are nearly 10,000, including not only the original road bandits in Guangdong, but also many scattered Japanese bandits mixed in, and the combat power is really strong. Su Chenwu said with a sad face.

He is not full of wine bags and rice bags, and he has also thought about the matter of eating the king's loyalty to the king, and sent troops to look for fighters several times before Shen Chongming's arrival, but he was ambushed by Zeng Yi, and nearly 2,000 soldiers and horses were killed and wounded.

Although he was disappointed when he saw the young Shen Chongming at the beginning, no matter how small the fly was, it was still meat, and it was always a person sent by the imperial court, so he must have some skills.

A comprehensive message made Shen Chongming completely disappointed, since it was comprehensive news, it was definitely not obtained from on-the-spot investigation. This will inevitably make some mistakes, leaving a lot of hidden dangers for their future actions, and if you take too much difference, it will definitely be a big disaster.

Sighing, Shen Chongming still decided to rely on his own strength to find out the specific strength of the bandits. However, it is not too late to tell you this, and now you have to figure out your own strength. "Then Lord Su, how many soldiers and horses are there on our side near Guangzhou?"

Su Chenwu was clear about this, and said: "Don't hide it from Lord Qincha, originally there were more than 15,000 people and horses gathered in Guangzhou City, but they were defeated several times in a row, and there were many casualties, and now there are less than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city. The thieves are huge, and if you want to fight hard, I'm afraid you can't do it. Su Chenwu said with embarrassment.

"What, more than 5,000 horses were damaged?" Shen Chongming was taken aback, the enemy was just a patchwork of bandits, and the losses were too heavy.

"Don't get me wrong, there's not so much. More than 2,000 were killed and wounded, and the remaining 3,000 were scattered and fled to several nearby cities. Su Chenwu hurriedly explained, saying that it was embarrassing again, this was really too embarrassing.

Seeing that this guy looked like an honest baby, Shen Chongming was not angry, and continued to ask: "How many people are there in the nearby cities?" ”

"There are about 8,000 people in Qingfu, more than 5,000 in Nanhaiwei, and then there are 2,000 soldiers and horses in the two counties of Zengcheng Sihui in the northeast and northwest, and then counting the men and horses in Guangzhou City, a total of more than 27,000." Su Chenwu said like a few treasures.
