Liu Renyu led more than 400 soldiers under his command to the city of Yulin Town, and was about to enter the city, but was stopped by the officer on duty at the city gate.

"I Jingbian Fort garrison Liu Renyu also, on the orders of the Hongjun Gate, specially brought troops here to discuss the plan to suppress the thieves, why not let me and others enter the city." Liu Renyu said angrily.

"Lord Liu is angry, it's not that the small ones don't enlarge people into the city, but that the Hongjun Gate has an order, and all the thieves and soldiers in the two towns of Yansui and Guyuan are not allowed to enter the city, and they are all stationed in the military camp in the north of the city." The gatekeeper explained.

"Why?" Liu Renyu asked.

"The Guyuan soldiers are guest soldiers, and they are afraid that they will cause more trouble when they enter the city and cause resentment among the people, so they are stationed outside the city."

"My department is a local soldier in Yansui, can't I enter the city?" Liu Renyu asked again.

"Hong Junmen said, let the local soldiers enter the city, not let the guest soldiers enter the city, I am afraid that the guest soldiers will not be convinced. So just treat everyone equally and camp outside the city. ”

"It's not impossible to camp outside the city, but when I came to Yulin, I didn't go to the governor's yamen to order it, which is not what my subordinates should do. So you must at least let me into the city and go to see the Hongjun Gate. Liu Renyu said.

"You don't have to go into the city to see it, because Hong Junmen doesn't work in the yamen, he has always been in the barracks, and you can go to the barracks to see you." The doorkeeper replied.

"Got it." When Liu Renyu heard this, he didn't say anything more, and went straight to the barracks in the north of the city.

When he came to the north of the city, he saw a barracks, and this barracks was still in some order.

Trenches, pits, horse rejections, sentinels, walled walls, there should be. When the battalion officer on duty saw Liu Renyu, he also inspected the bronze medal, asked about the situation, and looked at all the things contained in the carriage, looking extremely serious.

Then the battalion officer came to ask Liu Renyu: "Are you Liu Renyu, the new garrison of Jingbian Fort?" ”

"I am."

"Who was the prisoner in the carriage and what did he do?"

"This person is Sun Mourningyun, a criminal official who instructed his own family to murder the imperial court officials, and he was specially locked here, waiting for Hong Junmen to fall."

"Oh, then, why do you bring so much grain and grass with you?"

"When you go out to fight, you are afraid that the military rations will not continue, so you should bring a spare."

"Hey, you're kind of funny. That's it, I've asked you to understand, you can go in, get inside, report your name, have your own people, help the idle, and build a tent for you. ”

"I see." Liu Renyu still didn't know what the position of this battalion officer on duty outside the barracks was, and he didn't know whether it was a senior official or a petty official, so it was inconvenient to call him, so he had to deal with it vaguely.

When I arrived at the barracks, I saw that the tents were neat and orderly, and what was even more rare was that the barracks were still very tidy.

"It seems that Hong Junmen still has a set of rules for governing the army." Liu Renyu thought to himself.

When he led his men into the barracks, another middle-aged man dressed as a scribe came up to him and asked, "Where did you come from, and how many people are there?" ”

"Jingbian Fort has soldiers and horses, 430 people and 460 horses."

"How many officers are there, do you need to set up another camp and rest alone?"

"There are 5 officers, and they can set up another tent to rest, and the rest are not necessary."

"Okay, I know, you wait here for a while, I'll go and arrange for the people, help you set up a tent, repair the stable, and after a while, your own firemen will send food, and you can go and get it for food." When the man dressed as a scribe finished speaking, he was about to leave.

Liu Renyu hurriedly stopped him and asked, "Dare to ask Your Excellency, where is Hong Junmen, I have something important to report." ”

"In the big tent of the Chinese army." When the scribe had finished speaking, he went about his business without looking back.

"You are waiting here, don't make trouble, I will come back when I go to see Hong Junmen." Liu Renyu advised.

"Yes, sir." Everyone responded in unison.

****************

Separated from everyone, Liu Renyu tidied up his belongings and walked straight towards the Chinese army's big tent.

When he came to the big tent of the Chinese army, Hong Chengchou's own guards blocked the way and asked Liu Renyu what was the matter.

"Liu Renyu, the lowly Jingbian Fort garrison, was ordered by the Hongjun Gate to bring troops here to suppress the thieves, and now there is something important to ask to see the military gate, and please report on your behalf." After Liu Renyu finished speaking, he held 10 taels of silver in his hand according to the usual practice, and planned to hand it over.

Unexpectedly, the guard didn't answer, but said solemnly: "The military gate is having dinner at this time, you can wait for a while, and it's not too late to go in again." ”

"Oh, oh, I see." Liu Renyu held ten taels of silver in his hand, and he wanted to send it but couldn't send it, so he had to take it back in embarrassment and hold it in his arms.

And when he was about to wait patiently, suddenly a magnetic baritone came out of the account: "But has Liu Renyu arrived at Jingbian Fort?" ”

"Exactly." The guard guarding the door replied.

"Let him in." Inside, he said again.

"Yes, Junmen." The guard responded, and then said to Liu Renyu: "My family will invite you in to meet you, so you can go in." ”

"Hey, that's good." Liu Renyu opened the door of the big tent and walked into the tent as he said.

In the big tent I entered, I saw a copywriter in the middle of the big tent, Hong Chengchou was sitting behind the copy, and there were more than a dozen Maza on both sides of the copy, all of which were empty at this time, and it was obvious that the generals were not here.

And above the copy, there is a bean lonely lamp, the light is swaying, shining on the copy, Hao Ran has a large pottery bowl, the bowl is vaguely recognizable as a bowl of gruel, and in the hand of the military gate, it is holding a characteristic nest head in northern Shaanxi.

The food of this military gate is really shabby, but I am afraid that it is not as nourished as the ordinary landlord's old fortune.

After reading the scenery in the account, he thought about so many things, in fact, it was just a moment of time, and when he retracted his gaze, he bowed down and said: "Liu Renyu, the lowly Jingbian Fort garrison, is ordered by you, and specially brings 400 members of the department to your account to listen to it." ”

"The great hero who defeated Jiannu is here." Hong Chengchou put down the nest head in his hand and said with a smile.

"Where is the lowly position is a big hero, the military gate should not laugh at the lowly position." Liu Renyu said embarrassedly.

"It's not a joke, I know your merits very well, and you don't need to be humble. I'm glad you're here, but you've brought so many family members with you, can you still take care of them at home? Hong Chengchou said.

"Lord Xie cares, Jingbian Fort and Zhenbei Fort have sent capable men to sit in the town, and there are hundreds of regular troops, hundreds of village soldiers, archers, and fast hands to help, and it is no problem to defend the city."

"It's so good, the soldiers are fighting outside, and if the family is not happy, they have no intention of killing the enemy. By the way, the soldiers rushed here day and night, but did they settle down? Can you send food? ”

"I have a special person to supervise the construction of the camp tent, the construction of the stable, and the food will be distributed in a short time."

"It's so good, I'm in an eventful time, and now I need to borrow a lot of your warriors, I hope you can eat the king's lu, be loyal to the king's affairs, and be good at killing thieves and serving your father."

"My lord treats me so kindly, I dare to do anything untruthfully!"

"Well, if that is the case, it will be a blessing to the country. Okay, you have come here to meet me today, and you have done your duty as a subordinate, and it is not too early now, so you can go back and rest first, and then come here tomorrow to discuss matters. ”

"Yes, Junmen."

Originally, after saying this, Liu Renyu should ask himself to retire next, so that Hong Junmen could continue to drink porridge and gnaw on his nest.

But Liu Renyu didn't move.

What kind of person Hong Chengchou was, he knew at a glance that Liu Renyu still had something, so he asked gently: "Does Renyu have anything else to say?" ”

"Yes, yes, but there is a criminal under the lowly subordinate, who commits a heinous crime, and allows the lowly to come slowly,.........。"

Liu Renyu 1510, vividly told all the things about Sun Qianzong's false military salary, forcibly occupying people's land, intending to incite mutiny, and plotting to kill Zheng Baihu's family.

When he spoke, Hong Chengchou listened expressionlessly.

In the end, Liu Renyu finished speaking, and Hong Chengchou also listened. Then Liu Renyu thought that Hong Chengchou should be very surprised when he heard such a big case, and then he was very angry, and then he always wanted to say something about how rampant this fang is, and he should be killed immediately.

As a result, Hong Chengchou was not surprised at all, and then said without excitement at all: "Oh, if the human and physical evidence is conclusive, you should be sent to the judicial department for interrogation, and then punished." Since you have brought him, send him to the great prison first, and wait for him to be punished. ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Renyu suddenly had a feeling of punching the cotton.

It stands to reason that Hong Chengchou is a scholar who has read the books of sages and sages, and he should be very angry when he hears that there is such a evil official Sun Mianyun who endangers the society and harms the officials and the people under his own rule, but the reality is that this military gate has no indignation at all, which is really strange.

However, since Hong Junmen said so, even if Liu Renyu couldn't figure it out, he couldn't say anything more, so he had to say: "Yes, resign." ”

With that, he walked out of the tent and met with his men.

When he saw his men, they said that the tents and stables had already been built and that they were just waiting to be settled.

"Speaking of kung fu, the camp tent and stable have been set up, the efficiency is really high, and the Hong army gate governs the army well." Liu Renyu thought.

So Liu Renyu ordered his officers and soldiers to go into the barracks, take off their armor, put their weapons together, and after doing these things, they went to the stables to feed their horses with concentrate feed, massage, and scrub.

But it is said that these horses are naturally a little tired after running such a long distance today, but fortunately, these soldiers usually offer horses as their ancestors.

Because these horses have excellent nutrition, they are not deficient in calcium, and after running such a long way today, I have not seen any horse foaming at the mouth and getting tired.

This means that the horses only need to be well raised and will be able to continue their expedition tomorrow.

About a quarter of an hour later, the sky was almost dark, and suddenly there was a loud gong in the barracks, and the firefighters said that the food was ready, and asked the soldiers and horses from all walks of life to bring their own utensils to fetch them.

When Liu Renyu heard the sound of the gong and the words of the firefighters, he took his men to take the lunch box and went to the place where he was eating. They were walking on the road, and before they reached their destination, they smelled the smell of meat.

Smelling this kind of smell, others just returned it, but Liu Renyu was extremely surprised, you must know that he had seen Hong Chengchou eat food just now, but the soldiers did not eat meat, but the soldiers had meat to eat.

"What a general who loves soldiers like a son and is strict with himself!" Liu Renyu said with emotion.

When the soldiers of the Jingbianbao Army walked to the place where they were eating, not to mention how the food was, that scene made everyone frown.

On the table outside the kitchen were several large wooden basins filled with rice, mutton, and some vegetarian dishes.

On the left side of these big wooden basins, there are three layers inside and three layers outside, and the surrounding ones are full of big-headed soldiers. At this time, they are fighting for each other, frantically harvesting all the food in the wooden pot.

The firefighters seemed to be accustomed to such situations, and they did not reprimand or admonish, but just watched silently as the big-headed soldiers crowded together and grabbed each other.

Under such fierce scrambling, some of the dishes fell to the ground, which was nothing, and their own soldiers picked it up, and they did not dislike the dirt on it, and swallowed it in one bite.

These soldiers at Jingbian Fort were strictly required to line up for meals during training, and now when they see such a scene, they are a little overwhelmed and do not know how to get food.

And Liu Renyu didn't say anything, so there was such a scene in the barracks, 3,000 soldiers gathered in the kitchen of the barracks, competing for food, and another team of 400 people, holding lunch boxes, standing in the distance, stunned.

The scene of grabbing food lasted for about 20 minutes before it ended, and when the soldiers of the other divisions dispersed, the soldiers of the Jingbian Fort Army stepped forward to see that every wooden basin was empty, and there was nothing left.

I don't have to eat!

The soldiers of Jingbian Fort were very depressed. You must know that since Liu Renyu raised his army, he has fought in the north, killed Jiannu, and suppressed the Liukou, and has not tasted defeat, and now he is eating in his own military camp, but he has not even fished up the leftovers, which is really a tragedy.

"A bunch of vulgar hills. If you don't eat it, go back to add food and nibble on dry food. Liu Renyu negative airway.

When the soldiers of Jingbian Fort heard the order of their general, they all said yes, and then they all walked back with a depressed face.

On the way back to his tent, there were also soldiers from other groups walking along.

And Liu Renyu walked and heard what his soldiers said, and it was these words that caught his attention and made the depression in his heart dissipate a lot.

"Our Lao Tzu has been a soldier for all these years, and he has eaten the most in the past few days, ah, no, it's all his mother's food."

"Who's to say it isn't! This Hong Junmen is arrogant, not like our generals, and he knows that he is greedy for our military salary. ”

"That's true, have you heard that this military gate has been staying here since the barracks were erected, and has never returned to the city."

"I also heard that Hongjunmen eats pickles, nests, and drinks gruel by himself, but let our big-headed soldiers have meat to eat. In addition to this, his old man also patrols the camp every day and asks if we live in Ansheng? Are you satisfied? This kind of main general, we have only seen such a person in our life until now. ”

"How old are you on a donkey's day, just say that you have only seen such a person, really. However, this military man is a good official and treats us as human beings. It's not like those big turbans, they look down on us, and they treat us like cattle and horses. Therefore, if you go out to fight the thief, don't say anything about it, just rush to this military gate, and our Lao Tzu is also willing to rush to kill. ”

"Yes, aren't those thieves just mud legs that are shaved in the soil, even if they have the former robes to join the gang, it will still not help. You see, since the enemy army is not very strong, we should fight for our own lives, and we must repay the Hong Junmen for their kindness. ”

"yes, that's what we mean."

"The hearts of the soldiers are available, and the hearts of the soldiers can be used, how can the thieves be undefeated." Liu Renyu thought when he heard these methods of Hong Chengchou to entrap the soldiers.
