The main army of Yansui Military Town led by Hong Chengchou has both horse army and infantry army, and the marching speed is naturally not very fast, Yan'an is 210 miles away from Qingjian, and according to the speed of the regular march, it takes three days to walk.

But Hong Chengchou gave a strict order that he must go to Yan'an within two days.

Now no one dared to disobey Hong Chengchou's order, so all the soldiers of the Mabu Army gritted their teeth, and began to set off from the dawn of the day, and continued to walk at night with torches, and traveled as much as 150 miles a day before setting up camp.

Then the officers and soldiers of Yansui Military Town rested for a night, and the next day the sky was clear, and Hong Chengchou ordered all the officers and soldiers to set off immediately and go to Yan'an.

The infantry soldiers, who had only walked for a whole day yesterday, were already sore and numb and very tired, but none of the soldiers made trouble.

This is because Hongjunmen sympathizes with the soldiers of the infantry army, and his old man does not ride a horse, but walks at the front of the team.

The other generals saw that Hong Chengchou was walking, although they were very reluctant, but they had no choice but to follow Hong Chengchou.

The other officers and soldiers saw that all the bigwigs in the army did not ride horses, and who dared to ride horses, so all the officers and soldiers walked together, and when the army marched, Hong Chengchou did not say rest, and no one dared to say rest.

In this way, the main army of Yansui Military Town went all the way down the official road, and soon they came to the battlefield where the Jingbianbao army was fighting with the thieves.

After the war was over, Wang Zuo was ordered by Liu Renyu to cut off the heads of the thieves who died in the war, but the bodies of the thieves were still left in place and no one cared about them.

In the past few days, the sky has been better, the sun is shining, and there is no snow, and the corpse of the thief, which has been completely stiffened, has been frozen in front of the main officers and soldiers of Yansui Military Town.

Du Wenhuan, a veteran who has been fighting for many years, walked all the way, watched attentively all the way for a while, and then said to Hong Chengchou beside him: "Junmen, my old Du took a look, these dead thieves are indeed young and strong, and there are no old and weak women and children. The people killed by Renyu should all be real thieves. ”

"Well, that's very good." Hong Chengchou nodded with a serious face, and then continued to hurry without saying a word.

Du Wenhuan saw that Hong Chengchou didn't say a word, and was a little serious, so he stopped talking, and the whole team continued to move forward with their heads bored.

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

At the same time, in the east of Yan'an City, outside the big camp, all the horses of Liu Renyu's department, plus the civil and military officials in Yan'an City, all gathered together and were anxiously waiting for Hong Chengchou.

"Liu Shoubei, where is the military gate?" Yan'an Governor Zhang Yuan asked Liu Renyu.

"Fuzun, don't panic, the lowly post has already sent someone to investigate, if the military gate is about to arrive, the spies will come to report." Liu Renyu replied with a smile on his face.

"Well, that's good." Zhang Yuan nodded.

When Liu Renyu was about to continue to wait with peace of mind, a fellow acquaintance of Yan'an Mansion, an old civil official from a prominent background, suddenly blew his beard and glared, pointed to Jingguan next to the team and said to Liu Renyu: "The Liu family is guarded, you are afraid that it is not appropriate for you to make such a thing to meet the military gate!" ”

Liu Renyu looked back at this old colleague who had lost all his teeth and was leaking air on all sides, and suddenly wanted to laugh for some reason.

It is said that after Liu Renyu informed the officials of Yan'an Mansion of the news that Hong Chengchou was coming to Yan'an today, of course these civil and military officials of Yan'an Mansion had to all welcome Hong Chengchou, the leader of Yansui.

So on the morning of the same day, Zhang Yin took a series of civil officials under his subordinates, such as Tongzhi and Tongju, as well as Sun Kuisheng, Ai Mu and other military attaches out of Yan'an City, and met Liu Renyu in one place, and then gathered in the east of the camp to wait for Hong Chengchou.

Then when this wave of civil and military officials in Yan'an City saw Liu Renyu's elaborate Jingguan, Sun Kuisheng and Ai Mu, who were accustomed to killing scenes, did not react.

The fierce man Zhang Ran's face changed at first, and he seemed to be a little uncomfortable, but in order to maintain the dignity of civil officials in front of these martial artists, he forced himself to stabilize his position, and did not make any big baskets.

Only this old acquaintance with white hair and falling out teeth was originally a civil official, and he had not experienced much battle, so when he saw such a scene, the old man fainted without saying a word.

A group of people in Yan'an Mansion saw that the old acquaintance had fainted, and hurriedly pinched the person to save the old man.

The soldiers of the Jingbianbao Army burst into laughter when they saw that the civilian officials of Yan'an Mansion couldn't stand this scene and fainted directly.

When the fierce man Zhang Yin heard this kind of laughter, he felt that his subordinates were a little timid, which made him lose face, so he snorted slightly.

When Liu Renyu heard Zhang Yuan's 'hum', he thought that the Yan'an prefect was just expressing his dissatisfaction with the laughter, so he hurriedly ordered loudly: "Who the hell dares to laugh again, cane 20." ”

The soldiers of Jingbian Fort hurriedly stopped laughing, and Zhang Yin saw that Liu Renyu was somewhat sensible, so he smiled at the latter.

When the dazed old comrade woke up, he blackened his face and asked Liu Renyu why he had made the celebration of welcoming Hong Chengchou full of terrifying discordant elements.

Liu Renyu mixed up in the officialdom for a while, knowing that the position of Tongzhi in Yan'an Mansion was generally done by people, and these people were not born as Jinshi, and they did not have the same year, and the court also disliked them, so there was no need for him to be particularly polite to this old man.

So Liu Renyu smiled and replied in a calm tone: "Back to the words of the old man, the lowly position has won a big victory and won thousands of heads, and the lowly position will sooner or later report to Hong Junmen, so it is better to put these heads here, let Hong Junmen take a look at the merits of our Jingbianbao army, but also save the trouble of checking the heads again." ”

"But ........." The old acquaintance still had to tell Liu Renyu, not to be wary of Zhang Ran's sudden opening of his mouth: "But what!" Hong Junmen has been in the army for a long time, and he has naturally seen the scene of killing, do you think that like your old man, he doesn't even dare to kill a chicken? ”

".......!?" The old acquaintance saw that Zhang Yin had spoken, so it was difficult to say anything.

So everyone quietly waited for Hong Chengchou's arrival.

But it is said that everyone has been waiting since the sun rose in the morning, and now the sun has risen in the sky, but even Hong Chengchou's shadow is still invisible, and everyone is standing with sore legs and feet, and it is inevitable that they are a little slack.

And at this very moment, a knight came galloping from the east, and while galloping on his horse, he shouted loudly: "The Hongjun Gate has arrived." ”

"Yo, Hongjunmen has arrived, Fuzun, your position is the highest here, please lead the way first, and take us to meet Hongjunmen." Liu Renyu bowed to Zhang Yin and said.

"No, no, Renyu, you have made a great contribution, and you should take the lead to meet it." Zhang Yuan saw that Liu Renyu was so sensible, so he said politely.

"Regardless of whether you win the battle or not, you are still the biggest official here, of course we respect you, and please ask the government to lead the way, and the lowly rank will follow behind." Liu Renyu bowed down and insisted.

"Then the house is disrespectful. Let's go! Seeing Liu Renyu's resolute attitude, Zhang Yuan first nodded, and then put his hands behind his back, taking a figure-eight step, leading the way in front.

Liu Renyu, Sun Kuisheng, and Yan'an Mansion knew the same thing, and the general judge followed behind Zhang Yin and walked in the direction where Hong Chengchou came.

After walking for a while, they saw a large group of people walking towards Yan'an.

Walking at the forefront of this team is, of course, Hong Chengchou, the governor of Yansui.

When everyone saw that Hong Chengchou, the leader of Yansui Town, was coming, they naturally bowed to Hong Chengchou in accordance with the convention of civil officials bowing their hands and military attachés kneeling on the ground.

Hong Chengchou naturally returned the salute, and then he exchanged a few words with Zhang Ran, saying something like 'You are defending the city very well, and this hospital is very pleased', and then he walked straight to Liu Renyu, who was still kneeling on the ground, helped the latter up with both hands, and said with a smile: "Renyu, you played very well, I am very pleased." ”

"The military gate has won the prize."

"After this battle, our army's prestige is great, and the courage of the thieves has been lost. In the future, I will still use you as the vanguard. ”

"I am willing to die for the army."

"Well, the meritorious soldiers in this battle against thieves, you report it, and I should ask for credit for them."

"Yes, I have thanked the military gate for their kindness on their behalf."

"Yes, very good."

Hong Chengchou nodded, and then said to all his subordinates who were still giving salutes: "Everyone, please be exempt. ”

Everyone thanked Hong Chengchou, and then stood aside and bowed.

At this time, Zhang Yin hurried up and said to Hong Chengchou with a smile: "Junmen, since you have come to Yan'an, please go to the city to rest." ”

"No need, my army is stationed outside the city, and I, as the commander of the army, should be with the soldiers, and I will stay in the camp." Hong Chengchou refused.

"Junmen, since this is the case, then our official gentry in Yan'an have prepared a table of wine and dinner, and want to pick up the wind and wash the dust for you, do you think it is .......?" Zhang Yuan asked.

"Today, this hospital still has military affairs to deal with, so I won't go, and when the affairs in the army are properly handled, I will not be too late to go. Okay, you can go back first, and I'll go to Yan'an City tomorrow to talk to you. Hong Chengchou said.

"Uh, yes, the lower officials know." Zhang Yin saw that Hong Chengchou had agreed to go to dinner and wine, and the governor had also issued an order to expel guests, so he had no choice but to take a group of civil and military officials in Yan'an City to bid farewell to Hong Chengchou and return to Yan'an.

After Zhang Yin left with a group of civil and military officials from Yan'an Mansion, Hong Chengchou took Liu Renyu's hand and walked all the way to the camp.

Liu Renyu walked and introduced to Hong Chengchou: "Junmen, our big battalion was left by thieves, and I thought that there was a ready-made use, so there was no new one, and our army in Yansui could be stationed directly." ”

"Well, that's good." Hong Chengchou nodded.

Then, Hong Chengchou walked for a while, and then he saw the magnificent Jingguan, and at the same time, Du Wenhuan and several other generals also saw it.

Seeing that Liu Renyu had made such fruitful results, Du Wenhuan grinned, and the five guerrilla generals in Yulin also nodded with a smile, while the two generals of Guyuan were expressionless and didn't know what they were thinking.

But he said that Hong Chengchou Rao had led the army to fight for so long, but he had never seen anything like Jingguan, and now that he saw such a spectacular Jingguan for the first time, his face was inevitably slightly pale.

Seeing this, Liu Renyu hurriedly said: "Junmen, this time the thieves have won more than 4,500 levels, if it is a little troublesome to conduct another inspection, we will simply put it here, let the military gate see our results." ”

"Oh, this one looks spectacular. Your results have been quite good. Hong Chengchou praised.

"Hehe, isn't this a military humble post for everyone to see! Grow our morale and extinguish the enemy's prestige. Liu Renyu smiled slightly, and glanced at Jin Xiru meaningfully.

Hong Chengchou saw Liu Renyu say this, and glanced at Jin Xiru seemingly inadvertently, so he smiled heartily and asked Liu Renyu: "When the army settles down in a while, you come to my Chinese army tent, and I have something to discuss with you." ”

"Yes, Junmen, I know about my humble duties."

Liu Renyu agreed, and then ordered his men and horses to guide all the soldiers and horses into the camp in turn.
