After everything was decided, I went to Dachenguo Temple for a trip.

The reason I gave to my subordinates who were surprised by this was that as a superior and commander, they had to let go when they should be, so that they would not be overwhelmed by all kinds of trivial tasks.

Of course, the real reason is that after seeing that everything has entered orbit after settling down, I have a certain lazy disease of laziness and disgust.

Although it is a revisit to the old place, this time the identity and form are already naturally different, and the object of the revisit has long been a matter of people, especially after several brutal siege battles.

From a distance, as a landmark building, the silver-clad white relics pagoda in Chenguo Temple seems to be in the past, but the ruin caused by the war has inevitably affected all parts of the temple.

Silted ditches and flower ponds, felled messy flower trees, dilapidated and withered courtyards, toppling flower walls all over the ground, empty Buddhist halls and niches at the entrance,

The ever-bright lights and brilliant reflections that used to be day and night have long since disappeared, leaving only the tattered curtains rustling in the wind, gently swaying in the wind on the eroded Buddha statues and Bodhisattvas that reveal their pale colors. It's like these silent clay stone sculptures, secretly looking at the cruel world.

Because of the fire and looting that was subjected to several times, the valuable objects in the temple, including the walls, beams and pillars, the bronze and iron ornaments between the Buddhist shrines, and the gold lacquer smeared, were scraped clean in every detail.

Even the lower half of the Great White Relic Stupa is not spared, if it were not for the silver and gilt bronze ornaments with more than five layers, which are too high and hanging in the air, I am afraid that they have already suffered all kinds of poisonous hands.

On the base of the tower, there are also traces of various excavation damage, it seems that the plan to dig this tower to get the tin and silver-clad in it is to get it, but it is only because the amount of work is too large to give up.

However, it is a good observation point and a sentry position, and if you add the pontoon boats (hot air balloons for observation) that rotate day and night, you can basically overlook most of the surveillance city.

The monks have long since fled and disappeared, and even the originally exquisite and tidy monks' houses and guest houses have long been occupied by all kinds of hungry people and beggars.

In broad daylight, there are also all kinds of smashed portal windows and something, emitting a choking smell of fireworks. As our armed men entered, they were like rats in the sewers, leaving the ground in disarray, and hiding far away.

This makes my revisit a little uninteresting,

Suddenly, I saw Yao Zhongping, who was in charge of peripheral services, come over and whispered to me

"The sons caught a spy on the Sita......"

"Nani ......"

I was surprised

"Fang has been snooping on this place from the tower......"

"What's going on here......"

I shook my head, thinking that my trip was improvised.

If this kind of thing can give people a chance to get a glimpse of it, then the system of secrecy and internal security in the military that I created by my later generations will become a joke.

As a time-traveler with the attributes of a librarian, I am much more concerned about my own safety than most of the ignorant and fearless, stupid and bold ancients of this era.

Then a man who was disheveled, with a blue nose and swollen face, and a bit of a wolf, was tied behind my back and put in front of me, and then knelt on the ground.

"The noble man has something to ask you, and he is so good to reply......"

Only then did a Luo soldier speak

"Why snoop on our ......"

"It's really wronged......"

The man replied with his head bowed.

"A certain is just climbing the tower to pay homage to the deceased...... Don't prevent these military masters from coming up."

"But there is no ...... to collide and snoop"

"Incense and candles are offered to fruits, but they are still on the tower for inspection......"

I suddenly snorted,

"You are. Cai Yuanchang? ……”

Although the appearance and outfit of the other party have changed dramatically, I still recognize them at a moment.

“.”

He looked up suddenly, but he didn't recognize me all of a sudden, and said with some hesitation

"I don't know what to call a nobleman,"

I laughed. This revisit to the old place, it has already been a matter of fact, but I didn't expect to meet an old man who has several sides of the relationship, but is quite impressive?

This is also an accident. If he is really still the Cai Yuanchang in my impression.

Half an hour later, after washing and changing his clothes, he was able to sit down in front of me and take a big bite of the refreshments that were placed in front of him.

It seems that he has lived a rather poor life in the past few years, his skin color and hair quality have deteriorated a lot, only some habits and details developed by the old birth environment, and he can still vaguely make people feel the elegance of the former convener and biggest sponsor of the Donglin Society.

After filling his belly a little and pouring a stomach of sugar water, he also talked about the whereabouts and some news of those people who had been acquainted with him over the years.

"I didn't expect that you would be so virtuous"

"The change of Luodu, but the world was shocked, and I never thought that anyone would escape"

"Later, the people of Luo Dulai fiercely hunted the whole city......"

"Forced the old marshal to retire and support the young marshal to take the position, and boldly appointed new ......"

"Although the elders in the family have some identities, they are also implicated and cannot protect my future......"

"I had to go to prison first and wait for the ...... crime"

"Later, I learned that it was Li Boji's first ......"

"Originally, he had always been upright and honest, and he was deeply appreciated by my generation, but for some reason, he suddenly lost his mind and went crazy and did this."

"And then ......"

"After Li Boji and the others were taken away by people from the DPRK and China, they didn't come back......

"So-and-so was forgotten in prison ......".

"After a certain year was released, everyone in the society was long gone......"

"Find a place to live and live by printing books"

"But he didn't prevent the local war from breaking out again, and he was wrapped up in the army." ……

"Now I am fortunate to have the help of the child butchers. Support and assistance along the way"

"Escaped several killings and chaos in the city......"

"I am lucky to meet you in a corner, and I am fortunate to meet you......"

Although he said that he had been in a bumpy and displaced, his expression was already indifferent, as if he was telling a story about someone else.

"But I hurt the fish in the pond......"

I sighed

"Don't you think I should be blamed......

"Strange or not, what's the point now......"

He smiled bitterly

"The general trend of the world is burning like a flood, and who can really avoid it......"

"Even if there is no such reason...... Those people in Luodu will let go of the opportunity to meddle in Qingxu again. ”

"My generation is just a fan who happens to be in it,"

"So, how about following me now......"

I rubbed the rim of the teacup in my hand.

"Although fame and fortune are not guaranteed,"

"But worry-free food and clothing, keeping warm is not a problem"

"That's right,......"

Hearing this invitation, he didn't answer, but asked with a complicated expression

"I don't know if you are virtuous in the army, and what is ......"

"Let's do it, and let someone guess how to ......"

He then shook his head with a wry smile.

"At the beginning of that year, when I met Brother Xia, I knew that Jun Fei was a thing in the pool......"

"It's a pity that I didn't stop soliciting and missed this opportunity. ，。 It's up to you."

"Now I am virtuous, and I am already a group of guards, and the guards are strict......"

"In the army, there is at least one general or commander who is a general......

I just smiled and didn't say a word, but I encouraged him to continue

"Is it a soldier or a capital ......officer?"

Saying this, he looked at me and said seriously

"That must be Brother Tai in the Southern Army, already a figure with a lot of status......"

"I'm afraid it's still that Luo Dashuai, a special fancy to the junjie rookie......"

Is this a rumor, I couldn't laugh or cry, and I was a little subtle, so I touched my nose and said

"Actually, my surname is Luo ......"

"What I said was to avoid disaster, but I pretended to be ......"

"Is it possible, you are still the nephew of Luo Dashuai......"

Cai Yuanchang was a little surprised, but he also suddenly realized.

"It's not hard to understand......

"You are not only talented, but also the nephew of the Luo family, so you should have a good future......"

At this, he shook his head a little self-deprecatingly.

"I was thinking about it at first...... I still want to take advantage of the trend to solicit one or two."

Apparently he had gone in a different direction.

"Although my surname is Luo, I have a single word Xia ......"

I touched my chin and continued with some amusement

Rorschach ...... Could it be the same name,"

His face suddenly turned very strange.

"It's impossible...... Respect for the elders must be avoided, isn't it"

"It's hard to do it, you, you ......"

He suddenly stammered a little, pointing at me and suddenly unable to speak, but with an expression that was about to pass out.

"It's just a little name......"

I shook my head helplessly, do I have to have a big beard to be convincing?

Then, I heard the sound of some kind of heavy falling behind me, and sighed again, is it necessary to exaggerate so much.

In another time and space, the one with the same name and origin is the head of the power traitor who has plagued for thousands of years.

Jiangning is here, and the influence of the marshals who escaped and returned continues to spread, even affecting Chaozhou on the other side of Jiangning.

All kinds of rebels and bandits, just burning and looting smoke columns and drifting objects, even in the stone town on the south bank, can be faintly seen with a close mirror.

Along with it, all kinds of enemy forces in the north are chasing them, or all kinds of unclear and unclear news that Saiwaihuma has entered Jianghuai.

There are all kinds of boats rushing to cross the river, and they spread in the south of the river.

"Troop transfer...... Troop transfer from the ridge"

The prison state, which had already given birth to a little bubble at the corner of his mouth, shouted at the secretary of the military department and the privy envoys

"I want more soldiers...... to respond to the general trend"

In addition to the three chief officers of the military department, the first and three deputy envoys of the Privy Council, plus four privy envoys or privy governors, except for the envoys who stayed in Guangfu, the others have all gathered here.

"At the beginning of the Northern Expedition, most of the soldiers in the eastern three provinces of Lingnai were mobilized......

Not long after rushing over from the rear, Liu Shaoneng, the deputy privy envoy, said in a low voice

"Even if more soldiers and horses are re-recruited in the ridge, it will not be possible to make the trip for a while......

"Then find a way to get ...... from the outside of the mountains."

Jian Guo said with some irritation

"But all the old subordinates of the returned feudal towns will be recalled and continue to contribute to the country......

"Contingent ...... feasible"

One of the most senior privy councillors finally opened the way, as if waiting for the words.

"But it's a lot of money......

"Money and food are not a problem, I allow you to use a qiē expedient means,,"

The prisoner interrupted impatiently.

"Before the beginning of spring, quickly put the people and horses in order, pull them up and talk about ......"

"Who can worry about the rest ......"

The prison country's eyes scorched once again at these militaristic ministers,

"Who can cross the river and clean up this mess......"

It's just that this time they all seem to have become calm sculptures, and they are not moved at all. In the end, the eyes of the prison still fell on Ning Chongxuan, the former head of the Southeast Road Recruitment Department, and the privy governor.

"How much power does the Southeast Division still have......

"The battleable soldiers of the Southeast Division...... All with the expedition in the Northland"

Ning Chongxuan responded with a positive color......

"Now there are only a few soldiers and horses stationed in various places......"

"Then can you take the handsome tent and the front army of the palace?"

Jian Guo reluctantly changed his words

"Go to Yangzhou to collect the old ...... on the spot"

"I'm willing to give it a try......"

Ning Chongxuan is still so calm and waveless.

"I just need to be ...... a name"

He paused and said

"In addition, please borrow it for a while."

"You're ......"
