Not far north of Tongxu, is Qi County.

This is not the first time that many people, including Wang Zheng, have come to this place, the last time was more than two years ago, after Wang Zheng negotiated a green salt deal with the Yongchang Hao shopkeeper in Jining, he led a fleet down the canal and went straight into Suishui, and finally rescued Li Yan (Li Xin) who was locked up for offending the squire in prison.

More than two years have passed, and things are not people.

At present, Qixian County is even more dilapidated, in a county town in the Central Plains, but it is like a remote place that has not been populated for several years, under the whistling wind, there are yellow sand and ruins everywhere.

The southern wall collapsed at some point, and no one has cared about it until now.

The fleet brought by Wang Zheng has now developed into two battalions of sailors of the Shandong Army, from the first few medium-sized ships and dozens of small boats, to a large sailor with thousands of personnel and hundreds of ships.

This time, Wang Zheng led the 12th battalion of the Shandong Army to Henan to pacify the thieves and protect Xiangyang.

Xiangyang is now the "general headquarters" of the provincial aid and suppression of the official army, all the ordnance and food are in the city, most of the Yamen of Huguang are also located in the city, as well as Yang Sichang's camp and the mansion of the vassal king, all of which show that it is a real military land.

In the first battle, the heaviest casualties of the 12th battalion of the Shandong Army were the three battalions on the West Road led by Huang Yang, and more than 200 people died after being killed or seriously wounded after ineffective treatment.

The clerk in the army summed up the casualties of the remaining battalions, and the total number of casualties was close to five hundred.

Wang Zheng was heartbroken, each of the soldiers of the Shandong army was very precious, and although the first battle with Li Zicheng had a high battle loss ratio, the number of people killed was equivalent to half a battalion, which was really a tragic victory.

For this kind of victory, Wang Zheng couldn't be happy in his heart.

After the battle, the sentry cavalry found a large amount of grain, silver taels and military supplies in Tongxu County, the amount was so huge that even Wu Weizhong was speechless.

According to the captured rogue, they confessed leniently that the camp had no intention of transporting it away after intercepting the food and salary of the Shandong army, and in order to save trouble and avoid exposing their whereabouts in advance, they directly piled up the things they looted around.

Li Zichenggen never thought that he would not be able to win, and under the successive battles, he mistakenly thought that the current camp was invincible in the world, and underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Shandong army.

Although he planned well in advance, it turned out that he insisted on hitting the stone with an egg, and the final result could only be to lose his wife and lose his soldiers.

These materials are simply charcoal in the snow, after the war, the Shandong army has half a month's dry food left, originally Wang Zheng was still worried about where to get food, this time plus this batch of captured military supplies, at least the food has been enough for half a year, not to mention a large number of gold and silver jewelry, mules, horses, swords, armor and other materials.

"I almost didn't recognize you, hahaha!"

In the barracks of the Shandong army in Qi County, Wu Weizhong, who was wearing old iron armor, patted Wang Zheng on the shoulder vigorously, and saw that the other party deliberately showed his teeth and grinned, but he waved his hand and said:

"Don't be a good boy here, where can I still shoot you now~"

Wang Zheng smiled, not mentioning that Wu Weizhong led the Yang soldiers to come in time, just to see this old boss again, and he was sincerely happy in his heart.

"Brother Wu, I haven't seen each other for many years, and now this group of Yang Wu soldiers you are carrying is much stronger than the soldiers and ruffians in the Wendeng Camp back then!"

Wu Weizhong sat on the chair and said:

"How can I compare with you kid, since I was transferred to Zhenwu, every day I will always have to report on your Shandong affairs." Speaking of this, Wu Weizhong looked up and down, and said:

"In the past few years, it seems like a blink of an eye, the immature young man who came to me to join the army in Yijingzhuang back then has now become the Shandong general soldier of the famous epicenter of the Central Plains, which is really amazing!"

Wang Zheng smiled awkwardly, and didn't want to continue on this topic, so with the purpose of changing the topic, he smiled and said:

"I heard that Yang Futai was promoted to the right attendant of the military department last year, and the military affairs of Baoding, Hebei, and Henan were governors, which is really gratifying."

Hearing this, Wu Weizhong's face suddenly darkened, and he hatefully hammered the cup in his hand on the table, and said:

"Where is the happy event, Brother Wang, you Shandong Liufu Jingping Xiang'an, you may not know what kind of chaos is happening in Henan, Baoding, Hebei, and Huguang now!"

Wang Zheng poured him a cup of tea, sat down and said quietly:

"The elder brother should be blunt, if he has the Shandong army, the elder brother will not shirk half a sentence."

Wu Weizhong glanced at Wang Zheng, nodded at each other, and continued:

"Lord Yang is taking over a mess that no one wants to go to, and the court doesn't know who it is, since he was transferred to Zhenwu, everything assigned is rotten, and nothing good is good."

Wu Weizhong looked a little indignant and continued:

"Brother, you are well-connected, I heard that there are still acquaintances in the celebrant supervisor? Can you ask my brother about who he can't get along with Lord Yang. ”

Wang Zheng's face was a little solemn, although he didn't know much about the affairs of the court, but he also understood that it had always been a muddy water, and Yang Wenyue always received a mess in history, and it turned out that there were traitors in the court.

Although they are a little cautious in their hearts, Yang Wenyue and Wu Weizhong also have the grace of knowing themselves, if they didn't often help in the past, they wouldn't have their own today.

Thinking of this, Wang Zheng nodded and said:

"Brother Wu rest assured, tonight the elder brother will send the handsome order back to Shandong, this matter should not alarm the celebrant for the time being, we need to investigate secretly and quietly."

Wu Weizhong really didn't expect him to agree so happily, this is against the powerful figures in the DPRK, seeing the seriousness on Wang Zheng's face, he was stunned for a long time before he said gratefully:

"With the words of my brother, I am relieved!"

"Brother, you haven't told me in detail about the current situation in various places, how can the thieves be so arrogant, not to mention robbing my Shandong army's food and salary, they will even take the initiative to ambush."

Hearing this, Wu Weizhong picked up the cup and drank the tea, wiped his mouth and said:

"Brother, do you know something......

......

Huguang, a military camp standing majestically at the foot of the mountain, the Ming army foot soldiers in light armor trotted in, knelt on the ground and said:

"Marshal, the Shandong army is here, and they say that they are going to make a deal!"

A hint of interest appeared on the face of the man known as the Great Handsome, "Oh? He waved his hand and said loudly:

"Wang Zheng has to do business again, okay, please come in!"

A Shandong military sentry in fine armor strode into the tent and hugged his fist from afar:

"The little one is Zuo Shuai!"

Zuo Liangyu was focused on trading, just waved his hand to show that he didn't need to be polite, and said:

"I heard that Wang Zheng's kid defeated Li Zicheng in Henan and got a lot of military supplies, but he really got a lot of fat, and Ben Shuai was envious!"

Hearing this, the sentry struck and said:

"The villain is here, it is with the meaning of my family's marshal, Shandong Jun is willing to make a deal with Zuo Ying again, but I don't know if Zuo Shuai can be interested in this absolutely cost-effective deal?"

Zuo Liangyu laughed, stood up and said:

"If it's really as you said, it's absolutely cost-effective, how can Ben Shuai not dare to do it!"
