Chapter 251: News Received
"Did you hear that? The Yuan Dynasty was appointed by the emperor as the general to quell the invasion of the Xuanda Jin army. Chen Wanshan, who has always been well-informed, got the latest news from the capital. At this time, he was talking to his subordinate Wu Yue.
After Wu Yue heard the news, his eyes were also wide-ranging, he didn't expect that he would send the army of the guard to quell the war of the Jin army, which can be said to be a relatively rare thing.
"Is this true? If this is the case, then our Henan will transfer a large number of troops and follow the Yuan Dynasty to Xuanda to quell the chaos, which is not a good thing for us in Henan. Wu Yue thought that the imperial court should let the Yuan Dynasty take command and lead the troops of the guards in Henan to quell the chaos in Xuanda.
"The news brought by my informant is naturally true. It's just that my informant also said that this time it is not to let clubs all over Henan participate in the troubled times of pacifying Xuanda. Instead, let Yuan Dynasty lead Chen Zhouwei's soldiers and horses and Cao Wenzhao and other generals to pacify the troubled times of Xuanda. ”
"However, Wu Yue, your worries are not unreasonable. At present, thieves are raging everywhere, a few days ago in Shaanxi, Sichuan have set off a relatively large-scale operation, we in Henan also have to guard against it, in case of poking out any minions, several vassal kings have any danger, our heads will be moved. Chen Wanshan still takes this matter more seriously. After all, it is a major matter related to one's own life and death.
"Yes, what Commander Chen Du said, then what should we do?" Wu Yue asked Chen Wanshan's opinion.
"Alas, what else can I do, this time it is the general of the Yuan Dynasty personally ordered by the emperor, who can stop you and me?" Chen Wanshan is also at a loss, there is no good way.
"Then the only way to let the Yuan Dynasty return victoriously as soon as possible, or to avoid losses to the greatest extent. This is the blessing of Henan, the blessing of you and me. Wu Yue's mind is still spinning fast. I thought of the best way to let Yuan Chao come back as soon as possible. Or to preserve strength to the maximum.
"You're right to Wu Yue. This is also the only way. After hearing Wu Yue's suggestion, Chen Wanshan also patted his head and said words of approval.
"Then hurry up and inform Yuan Chao and let Yuan Chao prepare in advance."
"That's right. From our treasury, take out some superfluous, armor and equipment. Support Yuan Chao as much as possible, let Yuan Chao know your and my intentions, and let Yuan Chao work harder for us in the future. After Chen Wanshan made up his mind to help Yuan Chao well, he also generously took out some equipment. And he planned to tell Yuan Chao this important news in advance, so that Yuan Chao could prepare.
Chen Wanshan knew that Chen Zhuang of the Yuan Dynasty had been rushing to produce bird guns on a large scale for a long time, so some of the armor was not in sufficient supply.
And Chen Wanshan knew that his bird gun would definitely not be looked down upon by Yuan Chao, and what could make Yuan Chao look at it was some armor equipment, so this time he also gave out the most good armor equipment.
"Yes. The subordinates will arrange it. After Wu Yue heard Chen Wanshan's arrangement, he also immediately received the order and went down to arrange relevant matters.
A messenger from a flying horse outside Chen Zhuang arrived.
"Who?" It was still five or six miles away from Chen Zhuang, and it was discovered and stopped by Chen Zhuang's cavalry.
"I am the commander of the envoy Yamen, and on the order of the commander of the capital, I came to meet Lord Yuan Chao and present a handwritten letter." The herald loudly expressed his identity as he held up his beltband.
"The sentinel holding them back. took the waist card and carefully identified it. "Yes, it's true, go, follow me back to Chenzhuang and meet our owner." So the sentries gave him back the waist card and told him to follow them back to Chenzhuang.
The heralds galloped down the road to Chenzhuang.
Along the way, they encountered multiple patrolling sentries.
"It seems that this Chen Zhuang is indeed not simple, densely arranged sentinels." The heralds who came to summon the news, when they saw this Chen Zhuang, couldn't help but praise.
After arriving in Chenzhuang. The sentry was quickly taken to the mansion. I saw Yuan Chao, who was sitting upright on the main seat.
"Are you the herald who came to summon you? This time, the commander gave me some orders. When Yuan Chao heard that Chen Wanshan was sending someone to give him an order, he also sat in the hall early and waited.
The herald hurriedly replied, "Lord Yuan." I have here a letter written by the commander, and the explanation is for the Lord Yuan Dynasty to open in person, and the content that the commander wants to explain is all in this letter. The herald pulled out an envelope with a seal on it from the letterbox. It was handed to Yuan Chao.
Yuan Chao took the envelope. Sitting on the table, he looked at it carefully.
"What? The court sent me to Xuanda to fight against the Jin army? What is this, why did I suddenly go to Xuanda? Your Majesty, is it true that no one is available? Yuan Chao was also full of surprise when he saw this news, after all, according to the system of the Ming Dynasty, these guards and horses were generally responsible for the local and nearby defense tasks. It is still relatively rare for such a large-scale movement to fight elsewhere, and to move so far.
Yuan Chao patiently continued to look at the contents of the letter. "And General Cao Wenzhao is walking with me? It's better now, it's too weak to go by yourself, and with General Cao Wenzhao, I still have a little bit of confidence in my heart. ”
Yuan Chao continued to look at it. "What kind of style is this Chen Du commanding? This time, I was consciously willing to take out my armor. For my army. It's all stupid, isn't it? Yuan Chao became more and more unable to understand the situation.
"Okay, okay, I got it. You go down and get some rest. Yuan Chao waved his hand, first let the herald go down and have a good rest, and he had to digest the contents of the letter.
"It seems that Commander Chen must have gotten the news in advance and wanted to tell me in advance. However, this is told me in advance again, and it is a gift of armor, what does it mean? Yuan Chao remembered.
"Well, I am probably afraid that I will suffer a big loss in front of the Jin army, which will cause the current stable situation in Henan to become shaken. After all, the army that he has always been able to take is always in Henan, which is the capital for his promotion and fortune. After Yuan Chao figured this out, he put down the letter and prepared to gather everyone to discuss the expedition.
This time, the emperor personally named him to go on the expedition, that is, he must not be able to run away, since he can't run away, then there is only careful preparation. Speaking of which, Yuan Chao is still a little looking forward to killing the Jin army again.
The last time they fought, he was nothing more than a weak junior officer.
Now that he has more than 10,000 troops, he has the idea of wrestling with Jin Jun.
This time, Emperor Chongzhen gave himself a chance, and he really had to give it a try.
"This time, let them Jin Jun have a good look at the power of my Yuan Dynasty." Yuan Chao thought of this, and showed a hint of a smile.
