Lead clouds hang low, and the stars are gone. This night is destined to be an unquiet night, except for Zhu Pingjin, there are many people who have not fallen asleep.

In a quiet valley surrounded by mountains at the base of Inshou Pine Forest Mountain, more than 100 simple grass huts have been built along the side of the mountain. The officers and men of the 2nd Battalion and the Tusi Battalion, who had worked hard all day, were sleeping soundly inside. Suddenly, the rumbling sound of a rapid drum woke everyone up.

"All of you get up! Urgent gathering! The shouts and shouts of officers and sergeants at all levels rang out in front of the straw hut. Torches on dozens of wooden stakes burned, making the pine branches crackle.

The soldiers scrambled out of their cramped huts and busied themselves looking for their clothes and belongings by the faint light of the fire outside. Many soldiers wore other people's clothes in a panic, and had to take them off and change them for each other. Weapons, armor, water hyacinths, grain bags and many other items that require drape are not easy to find at night. Everyone fumbled around in the grass hut, and hung whatever they found, and rushed out to line up when they were all clothed. I saw that the hillside was full of soldiers running around, where were their companies and commanders?

Two or three quarters of an hour passed, and the chaotic scene finally ended. The four companies of the 2nd Battalion, in platoon units, stood in a four-line column. The Tusi battalion was lined up with a single unit and also stood in columns.

An emergency gathering in the evening took half an hour! Song Zhensi stood in front of the queue, looking at the soldiers in front of him who were standing crookedly and in disarray, and his face was so gloomy that he was dripping. Since the troops arrived at the Songlinshan base, they have been busy leveling the site and building barracks, and their military training has been very lax. Especially that Dong Bu Independent Company, which is the slowest in the whole army, I really don't know how they received training in Feixian Pass!

Song Zhensi glanced at Wang Da Niu beside him, he was not good at getting angry at Wang Da Niu in front of the whole army, and he didn't have time to talk about it now. He took a few steps forward and loudly announced to the whole army:

Except for a platoon of the second company of special agents who stayed at the base, the rest of the troops immediately made all operational preparations. Set off at dawn and go to the Shuangliu County Rent Collection Courtyard to meet with the second company of Shu Jianjun's army. After the rendezvous, the Tusi soldiers will bypass the eastern city of Chengdu Prefecture and report to the Tusi battalion headquarters stationed at the north gate.

As the personal soldiers of the Shu Palace, there are generally hundreds of soldiers in the royal city as honor guards, and more than 1,000 soldiers earn money for Liu Fatzi in various industries in the provincial capital. The rest of the soldiers, according to the system of the guard, are all farming in the guard's military camp. Once the war broke out, they would be armed by officers and landlords at all levels to carry out their combat missions. The border area of Huayang County and Shuangliu County in the southeast of Chengdu Prefecture is where the military field of the left guard of Chengdu is located.

Song Zhensi's second battalion and Xu Hanqing's Tusi battalion began to move, and the rest of the caravan also received secret orders from the Shizifu.

Gao Rongxuan, who was stationed between Wenjiang County and Chongqing Prefecture, led the cavalry of the territorial division battalion to rush towards Shuangliu County;

Song Zhenzong, who was stationed in Xinfan County, after handing over the defense of the three platoons of the Sixth Company to Peng County, hurriedly led the third company of the caravan to march outside the east gate of Chengdu Prefecture;

He Zengshan, who was stationed near Longquanyi, led two teams to prepare for battle.

The above three troops were all under the command of Song Zhenzong. His task was to use the local Wangzhuang to hide and standby, and monitor the left guard of Chengdu from the east, south, and north. Once he received the action code issued by the prince, he immediately used cavalry to cut off the route of the left escort from the east gate of Chengdu into the city. If the left guard forcibly advances, they will be annihilated on the spot. However, if they do not receive an action code, their subordinate departments are not allowed to act on their own.

Liu Hongting, who was stationed in Pengshan County, led the first company and the newly formed Pengshan County Huzhuang Cadre Squadron to prepare for the battle, sent surveillance troops to Yongxingchang and Meizhou, and ensured absolute control of the two ferry crossings of Yongxingchang and Jiangkou.

As for the 200 left guards led by Liu Lianzheng in Renshou County, they had already been arranged by Li Chongwen in Wangzhuang outside the city, surrounded by the Zhuang guards led by He Tingda and Lu San, and they couldn't make waves even if they tried hard.

One order after another was issued from the Shizifu, and the troops attacked Chengdu together. At this time, what are Zhu Pingjin and the others doing?

……

On the third day after the prince made a decision in the Yinyue Pavilion, Chen Encai came to Changchun Palace and announced the prince's will to the princess. When Chen En arrived, it happened that the prince was also there, and Chen En was so happy that he made one less trip and recited the prince's will to the prince together. What Chen En was very worried about did not happen - the princess was calm when she received the order, and there was no sign of madness at all, which made his hanging heart go into his stomach. The prince was very courteous to him, not only personally sent him out of Changchun Palace, but also rewarded him with a treasure that is said to have been obtained from Yazhou: a naughty mud gold monkey.

In the bedroom of the princess of Changchun Palace, only the princess and Zhu Pingjin were left. The princess hugged her only son tightly, her eyes full of tears.

"Son, your father is going to kill us and our mothers. Bah! The love of husband and wife, the love of father and filial piety, to put it nicely, are no match for silver and women! ”

Zhu put her hands on her mother's shoulders. He could feel that her heart was searching violently, her body was trembling slightly, and he said word by word: "Mom! The son is ready! ”

"Then you move! To die, we will die together! The princess added a lot of strength to her hand, which made Zhu Pingjin feel suffocated.

"Hmm!"

The son answered. The princess let go of her son and walked alone to the dresser.

"Son, go get down to business! Mom wants to put on makeup, your third aunt will come to inquire about the news soon! On Liao Tycoon's side, his relative surnamed Liu will also send his family members over! Mom can't let them see the clues. ”

……

Outside the southwest corner of the Chengdu city wall, is the famous Huanhua Creek. On the bank of Huanhua Creek, there is a tall and majestic palace. This is the famous Qingyang Palace. Legend has it that Lao Tzu spent three years traveling from Zhongnan Mountain to Shudi, and it was here that he descended and reappeared the Dharma.

Within the layers of palaces, there is a remote courtyard. Hou Dong, a Taoist from Yuding, was covered with soot and was carefully flipping through a copy of "Hug Puzi" with two dark fingers. In the past, the little eunuch in the Shizi Mansion could still help carry firewood to make a fire, but since the little eunuch was recalled, the things that these apprentices and children did were undertaken by Yuding Daoist alone.

"When will the prince fulfill his promise and build a palace for this way?" Yuding Daoist was distracted again when he was reading a book. He remembered the grand and luxurious scene when Prince Fushun entered the Qingyang Palace to invite Dan yesterday, and he couldn't help but feel very disappointed.

Ever since he left the gate of the Shizi Mansion, he has been devoting himself to closing the door to alchemy. I don't know how many times I failed, so I refined a golden pill that I thought I was more satisfied with, and let the little eunuch send it to the Shizi Mansion. The senior brothers probably knew about his secret alchemy, so they also rolled up their sleeves and went on a big job. The momentum is so great that it is very loud.

"The senior brothers have refined five golden pills for the prince, and Bendao has also refined one golden pill for the prince. I don't know which is better or worse between the Jin Dan of the Tao and the Jin Dan of the senior brother? Yuding Dao people were uneasy.

……

In the office of the left guard in Chengdu, Liu Fatzi was enthusiastically inviting Chen Gonggong to tea.

"The princess neither cried nor made a fuss? No reaction at all? Liu Fatzi was not only happy, but also skeptical.

"Not really! Lord Liu, will our family still lie to you? Chen En was visibly displeased.

"No, no, don't get me wrong." A stack of smiles appeared on Fat Liu's fat face, "This official always feels wrong." Yi Niangniang's brutal temperament...... As the saying goes, if there is an abnormality in this matter, there must be a demon! ”

"What Lord Liu means, is it ...... the princess and the prince?"

"This official is just guessing out of thin air, and there is no evidence. This official is just worried that the soldiers of this world ......"

"Lord Liu reminded me well! The matter of collecting troops and joining the guard is of great importance, and we dare not neglect it in the slightest. Where are the soldiers of the prince now, but Lord Liu knows it? ”

"A few days ago, my lame uncle Liu Lian brought a letter saying that the Song brothers and Tianquan Xu Hanqing had brought their soldiers to Songlin Mountain in Renshou to build a training base. Where this pine forest mountain is, the official doesn't know very well, it seems to be in a valley north of Longquan Mountain. ”

"Even if the soldiers of the prince are all in that pine forest mountain, since they have crossed Longquan Mountain, Lord Liu must not take it lightly! From Longquan Mountain to the south gate through Shuangliu County, it takes up to two days. According to our family, Lord Liu still sent a subordinate to go out of the south gate to take a look, and if there is any movement, we can also report to the prince and the Futai Yamen! ”

"What Gonggong Chen said is very true!" Liu Fatzi's smile was still so bright, "The official also wants to add another insurance: the royal city is garrisoned by the official's soldiers, and the front of the Changchun Palace is also the official's soldiers." There were only fifty members of the prince's guard, and they were all concentrated in the prince's mansion. The official thought that as long as the princess and the prince were controlled, they would have more soldiers......"

The two thieves looked at each other, stroked their palms and laughed.

Near noon, Chen En said goodbye to Liu Qianzhong and replied to the prince. As soon as Chen En stepped out of the threshold, he saw an officer running into the courtyard in a panic.

The performance of his subordinates in front of Gonggong Chen made Liu Fatzi very dissatisfied.

"Why are you so flustered?"

"Your Excellency, my subordinates have just gotten the news. The Tianquan Tusi soldiers suddenly drove to the north gate and joined the original 200 people. ”

"When did you arrive? How many people are there? Liu Qianzhong asked with a straight face.

"They arrived about yesterday morning. The specific number of subordinates is still being understood through relationships, and it seems that there are hundreds of cavalry ......"

Syllable! Liu Fatzi slapped the officer in the face with a loud slap: "I arrived yesterday morning, and you will report at noon today!" Hundreds of paces to ride, walking up in a long line, stopping a large area. You are all dead, and you can't see with your eyes? ”

"They are stationed in the city of urns. At that time, the gates were not yet opened......" the officer covered his face and argued.

"Get out of here! Check the number of people! Check out the lead! If you can't find out, don't come back, go find a wall and crash to death yourself! Liu Fatzi kicked his subordinates away, looked at the fleeing back and didn't forget to scold a few words.

"Lord Liu, don't be angry about these things! Our family has to rush back to report to the prince, and we have to ask the governor of the long history to ask Lord Liao, what is going on with the whole Tusi soldiers this day! Chengdu is the capital of a province and the residence of a pro-domain, and those Tusi barbarian soldiers will never come as soon as they say, just leave! ”

The next day, Shi Si, the governor of the Shu Prince's Mansion, received an official submission from the governor's yamen. According to the text, Tianquan Tusi soldiers have been in a foreign land for more than three months, and many people have fallen ill. Tusi Chen returned to his hometown, and after being retained by Lord Futai Liao and Master Bingbei Chen, Tusi finally agreed to replace the original soldiers with new soldiers. In a word, the Tusi soldiers change their guards normally, and you don't care about the palace anymore.

When the Changshi Division got the submission, Liu Quanzhong and Chen En immediately knew about it. They breathed a sigh of relief. The two of them had their own ghosts, and they separated.

The Long History Division got the submission, and Zhu Pingjin quickly knew. He sipped this year's new tea, his fingers tapping rhythmically on his desk. Li Sixian stood aside, not daring to say anything superfluous.

Zhu Pingjin's eyes shifted from the "Complete Book of Agricultural Administration" on the table to the window.

Spring light shines through the window lattice, bringing in the most beautiful colors and spreading hope for the future all over the earth.

Zhu Pingjin thought in his heart.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow! Since God has brought us into this era, we must fulfill a great mission! ”
