"Thank you for your kindness!"

Zhang Qi looked happy, knelt down and bowed, and Shao An nodded with satisfaction.

"Now that Your Majesty's edict has been decided, and the expedition is imminent, in order to ensure the smooth attack of General Zhang, the old man is in the military department, on the grounds of stabilizing the war, please order Your Majesty to dispatch a school of troops and your Li army to escort grain and grass for you!"

Hearing this, Zhang Qi's smiling face froze in the middle of the road, but Shao An stared at him with an unchanged face, leaving him speechless, and after a while, Zhang Qi arched his hand.

"My lord is worried, I feel Dade in my heart, it's not early, I should go back to the maintenance department!"

"Go ahead!"

Zhang Qi left, Shao Anfu smiled lightly: "What a shrewd and slippery ghost!" ”

"My lord, this kid doesn't seem to be a good master!"

Pei Qian, the official under his command, whispered, Shao An said: "It is difficult to control the shrewdness and oiliness, but as long as people are greedy, they will be invisibly bound to chains, this Zhang Qi's utilitarian heart is the old man's chains that involve him, unless he leaves Zhongdu and is willing to return to the barren land of northern Xinjiang, otherwise the old man will definitely be able to control him!" ”

"That's what your lord said!" Pei Qian thought for a while and said, "Who does the adult want to send to accompany Zhang Qi?" Now that the generals of the military department are withering, there are not many available candidates! ”

"This old man has a plan!" Shao An attached Pei Qian, and Pei Qian nodded his head.

Zhang Qi left Shao Mansion and walked to a no-man's land, Zhang Qi couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately vented his anger, he punched the weeping willow tree on the side of the road, and the weeping willow shook with great strength.

"Little grandfather..."

Zhou Yantong stepped forward to express his condolences, because he was waiting outside Shao Mansion, he didn't know what happened to Zhang Qi inside.

"That old horseman, he actually wants to use the master, it's really hateful!"

Zhang Qi scolded, Zhou Yantong thought anxiously, and quickly reacted.

"Little grandfather, when the matter is coming, there is no need to be angry, just use the soldiers to block the water and cover the earth!"

"It's not that easy!"

Zhang Qi frowned: "That old guy must still have some plans, but I didn't expect him to know so much about my previous situation, in my previous words, I suspected that he still had other handles of the master, and the result of being bound by someone's neck, the master couldn't bear it!" ”

"That's easy!" Zhou Yantong asked: "My subordinates will send someone to infiltrate Shao Mansion and investigate it carefully, I think there will definitely be news!" ”

"That's great!"

After Zhang Qi relieved his anger, he and Zhou Yantong rushed back to the Xishan camp, which had been fought by the Yan army, and the defense army of the Jiumen City of Zhongdu had long been exhausted.

"Little grandfather, the soldiers and horses of each school have been prepared, in addition, according to the previous edict, we also sign thousands of young and strong people from all sides of the capital to join the army, organized into a reserve battalion, a total of 3,000 people, this attack, we are also counted as 10,000 troops!"

Zhang Qian laughed, the pride of the northerners who couldn't stop talking about it, in their eyes, the huge Zhongdu actually needed them foreign troops to carry out the war, and they really lost their faces.

It's just that Zhang Qi thought far-reachingly, after the battle of Zhongdu City, there were less than 5,000 elite of the 8,000 Li army left, except for the scattered miscellaneous soldiers, which was the reserve army that had just been recruited, he didn't dare to fight with the Yan army with all his heart, if he put his old book clean, he would not be able to sit still.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qi said to Zhang Qian: "Pass the order, only two schools of the Li army's elite cavalry will be released, and the reserve battalion and other schools will all be released!" ”

In this way, Zhang Qi attacked Yanzhou with only 6,000 people, and there were as many as 3,000 elite horsemen from Lao Ben left.

"Little grandfather, the combat strength of those reserve battalions and miscellaneous soldiers is worrying!"

"It's not something you're thinking about!" Zhang Qi cut off Zhang Qian's words: "Pass the order, start immediately, slowly enter Yanzhou, and I will arrive later!" ”

At night, the military department came to order again, which was more than 1,500 people in the baggage army mentioned by Shao An, and as for the general who led the troops, it was Lu Kai, the squire of the military department.

Before Lu Kai was ordered to arrest Nangong with the Nine Gate Forbidden Army to no avail, he was temporarily dismissed, which just allowed him to avoid the fatal situation when the Yan army attacked the city, and now the Yan army has retreated, and the officials of the various ministries either retired or died, so Shao An took the opportunity to admonish, Lu Kai was directly reinstated, and at the same time he was grateful to Shao An for his kindness.

"General Zhang, on the orders of His Majesty, I will escort grain and grass for the brothers of the Xishan Army, as for the situation, please connect General Zhang with a certain time to avoid mistakes in wartime!"

Lu Kai's words were satisfactory, but Zhang Qi listened to it like a fly in his heart, what is the Xishan Army? Although he Zhang Qi ordered General Mingwei of the Xishan Battalion, he is still the little grandfather of the Licheng Zhang Army, and the elite soldiers in his department are all Licheng people's clan, how can he become a soldier of your Zhongdu in the blink of an eye?

Of course, Zhang Qi would not reprimand Lu Kai openly, he smiled and arched his hand: "I am willing to follow what Lord Lu said, now I will wait!" ”

Bei'an Barracks.

Lin Xiu has been stationed here for three days, during which there is an order in the future of Zhongdu, but it is not far from the Xishan Daying, which is only half a day's work, Zhang Qi actually led his troops to the expedition, which made Lin Xiu puzzled.

"Yu Zhi, this guy... What exactly was done? ”

"General, there are rumors from our people in Zhongdu City, saying that this guy Zhang Qi climbed the Zhongshu Pavilion, it seems that Shao An, that old guy is admonishing in the court, asking for war for Zhang Qi!"

Tang Chuanwen said slowly, Lin Xiu shook his head: "The favor of the court is for the bright side, but the wind and clouds behind the scenes, who knows?" What His Royal Highness King Yu did before can be regarded as a loyal act, right? It's good now, I'm locked up in the Zongren Mansion to concentrate on recuperation, and I'm afraid of its wind, and I don't dare to receive an inch of reward, it's really sad! ”

Lin Xiu laughed at himself, Tang Chuanwen and Zhuang Fei both laughed: "The general's words are not so light, but as the saying goes, success is the source of disaster, let's avoid great fame, naturally avoid disaster, he Zhang Qi is a utilitarian master, and he is willing to fall into it, so let him go!" At present, the general's urgent task is how to ask His Majesty to give an order to let us go back to Northern Xinjiang! ”

In the middle of Tang Chuanwen's words, Lin Xiu's smile faded, he paced back and forth for a few breaths, and said, "Prepare the horse, I need to go to Zhongdu!" ”

Even the Prince's Palace.

Since Qin Yi died in battle, the prince's mansion has been almost vacant, and now that Qin Yuzhi has returned with merit, the palace can be regarded as regaining its vitality.

"The Son... This is the military register of the newly recruited cavalry battalion..."

Qin San asked Qin Yuzhi to speak, but Qin Yuzhi looked at the old scene and felt sad and sad: "Alas... Why is this palace so deserted, I can't feel the warmth of home! ”

"Shizi!"

Qin San and the other generals were sad, and at this time, the family came to report, saying that Lin Xiu of the Bei'an Army asked to see him, Qin San and the others frowned: "Shizi, why is this Lin Zhongyi here, with the situation of his previous delays, he really shouldn't see him!" ”
