454 In the dead of night
Before it was completely dark, Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai, led the army and set off.
A hundred miles in one night, for future generations, it is only less than half an hour to drive a car. But for this cavalry army, it was a more serious task. If you don't hurry up early, you may not be able to reach Liaoyang before dawn.
All the Han people in the Zhuangzi went out of the village to see off, until they could no longer see the back of the cavalry, and then they returned to the village under the shouting of the leader. They disposed of the remaining Jurchen tartars in the village, and then divided the contents of the village, and then rushed to the sea. What awaits them is a dangerous future.
In the chat group, Emperor Chongzhen once again pulled a temporary group and pulled Ruhua and Gao Yingyuan into this group. In this way, Gao Yingyuan and Ruhua can easily and directly talk. Everything in Liaoyang is decided by Lu Xiangsheng. Emperor Chongzhen himself should eat, drink, and sleep next.
However, he was still a little worried that Ruhua, the key person, without her, if he couldn't communicate with each other in real time, it would be very difficult to capture the city. Therefore, he asked Ruhua, "How is your body, can you hold on?" ”
"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, my subordinates have rested in Zhuangzi for two days, and they have long been relieved." Wei Mulan was grateful when she heard this, so she added, "After the rest and recuperation, all the officers and soldiers of the army are in good health. Now that the morale of the whole army is very high, Your Majesty can rest assured that there will be good news tomorrow morning. ”
The two days of rest in the Zhuangzi are indeed a lot of benefits. Before that, the 800 cavalry army entered the hinterland of Liaodong day and night, and both men and war horses accumulated a certain amount of fatigue. Now it is equivalent to just setting off, and physical strength and morale are naturally different.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was relieved a lot, and after inspiring the two of them, he hugged Tian Guifei and went to sleep by himself.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, Gao Yingyuan looked at the sky, and after asking where Wei Mulan was, he turned around and walked into the barracks.
In this barracks, hundreds of people sat on the kang, most of them drowsy and dozing. When Gao Yingyuan pushed the door open, a cold wind entered, and suddenly woke up those people who were close to the door.
"Fifth brother, the hour is almost up!" Gao Yingyuan spoke directly to Han Wu, who was sitting in contemplation, and woke up some of the people.
Others didn't know what was going on, but Han Wu naturally understood. As soon as he heard this, he stood up and immediately shouted: "All up, all armed, all with my brothers and sisters to patrol the streets!" ”
The curfew inspection, and there is no war, it is naturally impossible for the Jurchen Tartars to do these things. This kind of work fell to Han Wu.
As soon as he said this, one of his subordinates said flatteringly: "Han Qianhu, why do you have to go to this kind of thing in person, the villain can lead them there!" ”
"That's right, Han Qianhu, even if you sleep, there will be no accidents." The other subordinates also spoke and expressed their positions.
“……”
Under the reflection of the firelight, Han Wu's face was a little serious, and he shouted coldly: "Where is there so much nonsense, my brother will do whatever he says, Hugh is verbose!" Otherwise, tomorrow will be replaced! ”
These are the small leaders under him, and the treatment is naturally a little better than that of ordinary soldiers. Originally, I thought that by patting the sycophants, I could better hug Han Wu and Gao Yingyuan's thighs, after all, these two thousand households are now being appreciated by the Jurchens, and the two of them are also good at their opponents. Unexpectedly, in exchange for a reprimand, everyone suddenly shut up, not daring to think about anything else.
So, out of the camp gate, Gao Yingyuan and Han Wu each led more than 50 people to inspect separately. The route taken by the two of them was mostly in the important places of the barracks and officials. When I returned to the camp after a round of inspection, it was less than an hour before dawn.
As soon as the two met, they asked their men to wait in place, while the two of them leaned aside to speak.
"Fifth brother, I've arrived outside the West Gate." Gao Yingyuan was a little excited, and said with a little nervousness.
Hearing this, Han Wuyi patted him on the shoulder, and asked in a deep voice, "Ying Yuan, are you okay?" ”
"Okay, fifth brother don't worry!" Gao Yingyuan patted his chest and responded in a low voice.
Han Wu looked at him for a while, a little uneasy, and reminded in a low voice: "Remember, be decisive!" Although these people are the most obedient ones that our brothers have selected, they still can't be taken lightly and don't let them have a chance to think. ”
"I got it!" Gao Yingyuan nodded seriously, "Fifth brother, you have to be careful yourself!" ”
Han Wu nodded, didn't speak, patted Gao Yingyuan's shoulder again, and pushed him slightly.
Gao Yingyuan glanced at the fifth brother again, then did not hesitate any longer, turned around and walked towards the team, and said solemnly after standing still: "My brother is going to complete the things that Lord Babuhai has explained, and if you do a good job, my brother will be rewarded, and you will be indispensable." If you do it, you won't follow us brothers in the future. ”
As soon as they heard this, some of the people who were sleepy suddenly stopped sleeping. It's about the future of Han Qianhu and Gao Qianhu, and it's also about their own future, if something goes wrong, this matter will be serious!
"You just have to do what you are told, and if you behave well, the position of the general flag will be set." After Gao Yingyuan finished speaking, he gave the order to set off.
Han Wu watched silently until Gao Yingyuan led the team out of the camp gate and disappeared from sight, then he turned around and walked to the barracks one by one and kicked the door in.
It didn't take long for Gao Yingyuan to lead the team to inspect all the way to the west gate. They were all armed, and a hundred or so people walked over like this, and even if not one of them spoke, the movement was still a bit loud in the dead of night. Even if the gatekeeper was dozing, he was awakened and hurriedly heard the sound.
Gao Yingyuan and the others were holding torches, and they didn't need to ask, they could see at a glance who they were under the light of the fire.
When the soldiers guarding the city gate saw that they were still walking towards the west gate, they were a little annoyed, what are they doing, disturbing people's dreams!
Even if he didn't want to, a soldier finally stepped forward and stopped Gao Yingyuan under the city gate, and shouted unhappily: "Where have you gone to inspect!" Go back, go back! ”
Gao Yingyuan looked at him expressionlessly, and said in a cold voice: "I was ordered to go out of the city and open the door!" ”
As soon as he heard this, the gatekeeper was slightly stunned, and went out before dawn, and he immediately stretched out his hand and said, "What about the warrant?" ”
"Slap", I saw Gao Yingyuan throw a slap in the face, and stunned the man: "You are also worthy?" Calling Zhun Toya to come over and see it in person is about the secret order of Lord Babuhai. ”
His slap made the soldiers behind Gao Yingyuan startled. Seeing that he was angry and remembered what he said, several soldiers immediately shouted: "I didn't hear what we said, don't go quickly!" ”
This guard is also a Han man, or he would not take turns guarding the door, after hearing this, he saw that they were violent, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly went to tell them.
Gao Yingyuan waited quietly, just waiting for the quasi-earth valley in charge of the key to come out.
