Section 9 Divine Decrees and Private Messages

A few days later, Liu Yunwei led the soldiers of the Hanwei battalion to the outskirts of Qixian in Kaifeng Prefecture. After handing over the grain and grass to the Qixian government, Liu Yunwei saw that it was getting late, so he ordered to camp outside the city.

After a while, the Hanwei camp had just had a prototype, and a man rode a horse along the official road, and after a while, he came to the outside of the camp.

Liu Yunwei happened to be patrolling the camp at this time, and when he saw this, he ordered the patrol soldiers to let people in, and when the person approached, Liu Yunwei asked, "Who are you?" What are you doing in my camp? ”

The man looked Liu Yunwei up and down, and said: "Back to this general's words, the villain is a family member of Lord Xiong Tingbi in Liaodong Jingluo, and he was ordered to come and send a letter to Liu Yunwei, the general manager of the Hanwei Battalion, a letter written by my lord. ”

Liu Yunwei couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "I am Liu Yunwei, where is the letter?" What else does Xiong Jingluo have to entrust? ”

The person who came took out a letter from his bosom and respectfully handed it to Liu Yunwei, and said: "My lord asked me to tell Mr. Liu Qian, no matter where Mr. Liu Qian has led the army, be sure to stay for a few days and wait for the holy decree of the imperial court. ”

Liu Yunwei was taken aback when he heard this, and his heart suddenly turned upside down.

Late at night, the big tent of the Chinese army in the Hanwei camp.

Liu Yunwei called Lu Ying, Wu Xing, Li Tianhao, Wang Gandang, Wen Poyu, Zhao Kaishan, and Gao Hongguang over, and handed Xiong Tingbi's letter to Lu Ying and asked him to read it to everyone.

Liu Yunwei, the general manager of Hanwei Yingqian, personally revealed:

It's been a few months since Liaoyang said goodbye, and I miss it very much, but I don't know if Liu Qian is still okay. Recently, I heard that President Liu Qian's victory in Shandong Province was also very happy. But looking at the situation in Liaodong, my heart is full of sorrow: since Liu Qianzong went south, first Kaiyuan, Tieling and other cities fell into the hands of the Tartars, and then the Mongolian Korqin and Khalkha tribes allied with the Jiannu, and the Mongolian Lin Dan Khan could not stop it; Nowadays, the danger of Liaodong is increasing day by day, but the military strength of Liaodong has not increased. Therefore, I have written to the imperial court, hoping to transfer the Hanwei battalion back to Liaodong in order to strengthen the defense of Liaodong.

I know that the bones of the old general and the young general are not cold, and they have not yet returned to their hometown, and this move is difficult for a strong man. However, the matter of Liaodong has reached the point of urgency, and I can only do this unkind act, and I hope that Liu Qian will be the general Haihan.

I hope that Liu Qian will always be able to put state affairs first, stop his march immediately after receiving this letter, and wait for the will of the imperial court before making a decision.

Liaodong Jingluo Xiong Tingbi"

After Lu Ying finished reading the letter, everyone in the tent was silent, and the atmosphere in the big tent became extremely dull for a while.

After a while, Liu Yunwei first said: "To be honest, I really want to go back to Liaodong in my heart, after all, I have a blood feud with Jiannu!" However, I also know very well that the combat power of our Hanwei Battalion is not enough to fight against Jiannu; Although it is not a problem to win a few battles with our strength, I want to completely destroy the Jiannu clan, not exchange the lives of the soldiers for a few good news! Besides, my grandfather, father, and Wanxin haven't returned home yet, so I'm determined not to return to Liaodong for the time being! Do you have any suggestions? ”

Everyone looked at each other, and they all looked very confused, and no one spoke. Seeing this, Liu Yunwei called and said, "Lu Ying, you can talk about it." ”

Lu Ying thought for a while and said, "Big brother, in fact, the brothers all want to go back to Liaodong to kill the Tartars, after all, that's where our Ming warriors should go!" But what the eldest brother said is exactly what we are worried about, now our Hanwei Battalion has indeed not recovered to its peak combat strength, and now is indeed not a good time for the decisive battle of Jiannu. Therefore, we all listen to the eldest brother, let's go back to Sichuan to accumulate strength first. ”

Lu Ying, Zhao Kaishan and the others also nodded heavily.

Liu Yunwei saw that all the brothers were of the same heart as himself, and his heart was also very comforted, and he was just about to speak when he heard someone outside the tent say: "General Qiyu, there are court angels arriving outside the camp!" ”

Everyone was taken aback, and no one expected that the angel sent by the imperial court would arrive at the camp so late.

Unable to take care of much, Liu Yunwei hurriedly led everyone to meet outside the gate, only to see a team of brocade-clothed guards escorting a carriage waiting outside the gate, and a gorgeously dressed eunuch was looking at the Hanwei camp curiously.

"The last general, Liu Yunwei, the general manager of the Hanwei camp, has seen the angels of the court, please enter the camp to announce the decree!"

After speaking, the team of brocade guards all dismounted and walked, surrounded by the eunuch who got off the carriage, and walked into the camp of the Hanwei camp, and came to the big tent of the Chinese army under the guidance of Liu Yunwei.

The eunuch was always very polite when he saw Liu Yunwei, and he kept smiling and gossiping with Liu Yunwei. After Lu Ying and several other generals came in, the eunuch cleared his throat and said, "President Liu Qian, everyone, the miscellaneous family is here to congratulate you first!" The reward for the soldiers of the Hanwei Battalion in the bloody battle in Shandong and the extermination of the Gu family in Shanxian County has been issued by the imperial court, and His Majesty has also issued a commendation will. ”

When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed and whispered, looking very excited.

"Uh-huh, uh-huh." The eunuch coughed slightly, and when everyone quieted down, he continued: "Liu Yunwei, the head of the Hanwei camp, takes the order!" ”

"The last general will take the order!" Liu Yunwei hurriedly took Lu Ying and a few people to kneel.

"Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: Now I heard that Liu Yunweike, the thousand general manager of the Hanwei camp, was loyal to his duties and bravely defended the country, first there was the battle exploits of Yuncheng to exterminate the Wenxiang Sect, and then there was the feat of the rebellion of the Gujia in Shanxian County, and I was very relieved in my heart. Those who have contributed to the country since ancient times will be the arms of the king; Those who contribute to the people will be the cornerstone of the society! The soldiers of the Hanwei Camp are the foundation of the dynasty and the society!

Therefore, we promoted Liu Yunwei, the commander of the Hanwei Battalion, to a guerrilla general, and the Hanwei Battalion was expanded into a guerrilla battalion, and Liu Yunwei was transferred from the Sichuan Dusi Hui Chuanwei to the Jianchangwei guerrilla general, and at the same time allocated 1,000 taels of silver to reward the meritorious soldiers, and allocated 500 stones of grain and grass for the army to eat.

Chin this! ”

After the eunuch finished reciting the holy decree, he said to Liu Yunwei with a smile: "Congratulations to Guerrilla Liu, Your Majesty attaches great importance to Guerrilla Liu!" I hope that Liu Guerrilla can make more meritorious contributions and solve problems for His Majesty. ”

Liu Yunwei was ecstatic in his heart, the soldiers of the Hanwei battalion had been seriously overstaffed, and now His Majesty had re-expanded the establishment of the Hanwei battalion, which just solved his urgent need!

"Minister, Liu Yunwei is grateful!" After Liu Yunwei thanked him, he said: "What my father-in-law said is that the last general must fulfill his duties and be loyal to His Majesty!" ”

After speaking, Liu Yunwei and everyone stood up when they heard the eunuch say again: "Liu Guji, there is still a letter from the Miscellaneous Family, which I received when I was on the road, and the Miscellaneous Family sent it to Liu Guerrilla together." ”

After speaking, the eunuch took out a letter and handed it to Liu Yunwei, and then said: "This is what Lord Huang Jiashan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, entrusted me to bring to Liu Guerrilla, please Liu Guerrilla to check." Okay, the miscellaneous affairs have been done, so I won't bother Liu Guerrilla and say goodbye! ”

Liu Yunwei hurriedly held on and said, "It's late at night now, please don't dislike the simplicity in the camp, just stay in the camp for the night, and I will ask my father-in-law to write a letter to Lord Huang for me at the end of tomorrow morning." After speaking, Liu Yunwei glanced at Lu Ying.

Lu Ying naturally understood, and led the eunuch down to eat, drink and enjoy with a smile on his face, and the rest of the people also went out with the eunuch in their arms.

Liu Yunwei opened Huang Jiashan's letter at this time, only to see that the letter briefly explained Xiong Tingbi's proposal, and then explained Fang Congzhe's refutation of his proposal; In the letter, Huang Jiashan instructed Liu Yunwei to return to Sichuan as soon as possible and train a tiger and wolf army for the imperial court as soon as possible. Finally, Huang Jiashan also specially mentioned that he was ordered by the emperor to train the army, and he had sent Xu Guangqi to imitate the Qi family army in Tongzhou to prepare and train the new army, and made a wish and said: "When the new army is completed, it will be the time when our country counterattacks Liaodong!" ”

After reading the letter, Liu Yunwei's mind was difficult to calm down for a while, especially when Huang Jiashan said in the letter that the imperial court had begun to train the new army on a large scale, which undoubtedly gave Liu Yunwei great encouragement.

"Didn't Mr. Sun go north to join Mr. Xu Guangqi? Maybe Mr. Sun will work with Mr. Xu to train the new army in Tongzhou, it seems that Mr. Sun's ambition is about to be realized! ”

Thinking of this, Liu Yunwei worked hard to write on the bookcase. Liu Yunwei first wrote a reply letter to Huang Jiashan, in which he first explained that he also wanted to return to Sichuan to accumulate strength, and asked Huang Jiashan to pass on a message to Xiong Tingbi, the economic strategy of Liaodong, saying that when he trained into an army of tigers and wolves for the imperial court, he would definitely kill Liaodong and come to Xiong Tingbi's command to listen to orders; At the same time, Liu Yunwei also asked Huang Jiashan not to forget the soldiers of the Hanwei battalion, and one day when the new army of the imperial court counterattacks Liaodong, the Hanwei battalion must also be requisitioned and transferred north!

In the early morning of the next day, the eunuch who came to announce the decree said goodbye to Liu Yunwei and left with the letter that Liu Yunwei entrusted him to bring to Huang Jiashan; The family sent by Xiong Tingbi was also sent away by Liu Yunwei.

Looking at the distant carriage and the rising sun, Liu Yunwei's heart was also full of hope for the future.

"The imperial court has begun to taste the courage of the army, once the powerful national power of my Huaxia is transformed into military power, it will be the end of any Tartar captivity! When the new army is completed, the soldiers of my Hanwei battalion will definitely go north to Liaodong with the new army together with other elites of the imperial court, and I want to see how the Jiannu is still rampant! ”

"Big brother, it's not too early, let's go too." Lu Ying said on the side, and at the same time, the rest of the people were all dressed up and stood aside.

Liu Yunwei nodded, and said arrogantly: "Okay! Let's go! ”
