They were discussing the strategy here, and at this time, a pro-soldier came to report that Chen Yongfu had sent someone. Li Yan asked to bring people with him.

Chen Yongfu's personal soldiers came up and did not salute Li Yan, he had the title of 100 general, and he completely looked down on the general of the township soldiers. Moreover, in the current situation, the two sides can be regarded as quasi-hostile, and there is no need to be polite.

"Mr. Li, my marshal asked you to go to the barracks, and you have important things to discuss." The soldier said in a commanding tone.

Li Yan and the others glanced at each other, and then said, "This general is busy with affairs, so he really doesn't have time. If Chen Dashuai has any orders, you can just say, I will try my best to handle it for Chen Dashuai. ”

"My marshal is to order you to go to the barracks!" The soldiers glared at Li Yan and said loudly.

Li Yan smiled and said, "If Chen Dashuai has nothing else to do, please go back to the military academy." ”

The soldier reminded viciously: "This is your disobedience first!" All the consequences are up to you! ”

"If Chen Dashuai really wants to mention Li in person, please ask Chen Dashuai to come here in person. Li really doesn't have time, please ask the military academy to convey Li's apology. ”

The pro-soldier snorted coldly, said nothing, turned around and left.

Li Mu sneered: "Chen Yongfu is really, only at this time did he remember to ask the fourth brother to go over, isn't this a lice on the bald man's head - is it an obvious thing?" He just wants to be unfavorable to the fourth brother, as if no one can see it. ”

Li Zhong nodded and said, "It seems that he wants to do it." ”

"Keep an eye on them, and report back as soon as there is any change!" Li Yan ordered.

"Yes!" Li Zhong and Li Mu clasped their fists and agreed.

Li Zhong and Li Mou went to instruct the sentinels from all directions, and at this time, Sun Sifu came in and reported: "General, the east gate has come to report, they stopped a messenger, claiming to be from Guide, with a letter to Vice General Chen. I don't know if I should put it in or not, so please show the general. ”

Li Yan thought for a moment and ordered: "Let him in, but send someone to escort him to the barracks and hand him over to Deputy General Chen." Don't let him look around, don't let him walk around. If there is any misconduct, it will be killed! ”

"Yes!" Sun Sifu agreed, and trotted outside to give orders.

At this time, Li Zhong and Li Mu had already returned, and after they asked about the situation, Li Zhong frowned and said, "Could it be a thief's spy?" ”

Li Mu shook his head and said, "Unlikely." If you want to listen to the military, you can find out by pretending to be a homeless person or a Taoist priest. pretending to be an official errand, it is directly received by the government, but it is not easy to move freely. ”

Li Yan nodded and said, "It should be the eunuchs who returned to Germany to urge Chen Yongfu to enter the army to suppress the thieves." But don't take it lightly, I've already commanded that if there's any change, you're going to be killed. ”

After that, Li Yan asked Li Mou: "You just said that the thieves will disguise themselves as homeless people and Taoist priests to spy on the military?" ”

"yes, anyway, they did this before they rebelled, and it's very simple." Li Mu nodded.

Li Zhong took a breath and said, "Hey~, if that's the case, it's not easy to prevent." It's easy to talk about the homeless, but the Taoist priest, the wandering party, the businessman, can't you stop them from moving, right? ”

Li Yan frowned and said, "In the future, we must teach more residents in the city and let them strengthen their precautions." Neighbors should help each other, and if you encounter a thief's eyeliner to create chaos, don't panic, save yourself first. As long as there is no chaos in the city, there will be no major problems. As for the villages outside the city, the thieves basically have no chance. ”

Li Zhong reminded: "Do you want to rearrange the armor in the city?" If something happens, each A and each insurance can also help each other. ”

Li Yan agreed: "Well, this method is better. When we have time, we'll do it. Villages outside the city should also be managed more intensively. Minzhuang should also train in his spare time and be a reserve soldier. ”

Barracks, lobby.

"You're from Guide?" Chen Yongfu looked at the yacha who was sent and asked with a frown.

Yacha nodded and said: "The villain is a fast catcher from Suizhou, and he came to deliver a letter to Chen Dashuai on the order of Master Ye." ”

"How did you get out?! The thieves didn't intercept it?! Chen De asked stiffly.

Catch quickly replied: "There are no thieves in Suizhou." The thieves were all active in the east of Guide City, and the county seat was still under the control of the official army. ”

Chen Yongfu nodded at this time, he finally believed that what Li Yan said was true, the thieves were really all east of Guide City, and they were all operating outside the city. So he asked, "How many thieves are there?" How many horses? How is the instrument? ”

Caught quickly and said in embarrassment: "This villain doesn't know, but he knows that there are a lot of thieves, and the ten miles that can be seen on the head of the city are full of fire and smoke, and the loss outside the city is not small." However, after the thieves plundered, they went east to Guide City and never returned. ”

Chen Yongfu kept nodding. After that, he asked, "What about Master Ye's letter?" ”

Catcher hurriedly took out the letter from his bosom and handed it out with both hands.

Chen Yongfu took the thick letter from his own soldiers, opened it and read it, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became. This is not just a letter from "Master Ye", but a letter from almost all the gentry who returned to Germany, including the Hou family, the Ye family, the Shen family, the Tang family, and so on. The purpose of these people is to ask him to send troops as soon as possible to exterminate the thieves.

Although the words are polite, but the energy behind these families is amazing, Ye Tinggui is already the right servant of the household, although Hou Sui is still in prison, but after all, he has not yet fallen, maybe he will come out again one day, that is the title of the head of the household. Although Hou Fangyu landed in the township test, he left a great name in Nanjing, and maybe he will be a top three jinshi next time.

If he can't quickly drive out the thieves this time and reduce the losses of these families, then he will be punished by the imperial court. Is it to be punished? Or dismissal and imprisonment?

Chen De saw that Chen Yongfu had been frowning and reading the letter, but his eyes did not fall on the letter, so he asked, "Father, what is the matter?" ”

Chen Yongfu waved his hand and ordered the catcher: "You go down first." ”

"The villain obeys." He bowed down and agreed, and followed the sergeant very obediently. He knew his position, but he didn't dare to talk nonsense, he just asked to get the remaining fifty taels of silver when he returned.

When the arrest was about to go out, Chen Yongfu said helplessly: "We have to go, we must drive the thieves out of the Guide Mansion as soon as possible." ”

Chen De frowned and said, "What about Li Yan?" Don't clean it up? ”

Chen Yongfu raised the letter in his hand and said, "Can this still be delayed?" We just arrived today, and the letter from Guide Mansion has arrived, and they are all staring at us. These people are much more powerful than Gao Mingheng. ”

Chen De complained: "These guys only have their family business in their eyes. ”

"Don't worry, we'll clean him up when we get back." Chen Yongfu said: "Now the thieves have robbed a lot of things, and it is the time when the soldiers have no heart to fight. As long as we kill them, they will definitely have to run. As long as we drive them out of Guide Mansion and out of Henan, our errand will be accounted for. ”
