Li Tingyu stood in place, looking at the flags fluttering in the air, unable to move for a long time, his thoughts were like flying leaves, drifting into the distance. This is the military flag that has followed him to fight for many years, and when the imperial court transferred troops to SC, it was personally awarded to him by the chief soldier Qin Liangyu, and it has never been replaced. Under the Daling City in Liaodong, outside the gate of BJ Jiucheng, in the deep mountains and old forests of GZ, above the thousands of miles of fertile fields in HN, until this water town in the south of the Yangtze River, accompanied him for countless days and nights of battle, Qin Liangyu warned him before leaving: marching and fighting, the flag is in the people, and the flag is down. Li Tingyu has never forgotten it and has truly done it.

It was not until Liu Liangzuo surrendered without warning that he was forced to leave his barracks, this Ming Dynasty flag, I thought it would be discarded, trampled on the horse's hooves and rolling, but I didn't expect that he had been away for many days, but this flag was still flying over Yuanmen.

Li Tingyu stood still, and Wang Huan and the others behind him had to stand behind him without moving, so the group stood quietly on the improvised road outside the barracks, and after half a sound, Li Tingyu slowly recovered from his contemplation, turned around and yelled at everyone: "Go!" Come with me into the camp! ”

Li Tingyu's every move, Wang Huan has a full view, for Li Tingyu's move, he can fully understand, the idea of accepting the white pole soldiers into his own private pocket is getting stronger and stronger, now there are fewer and fewer such loyal and courageous generals, but there are more and more warlords, if you want to make a world in this era and turn the wheel of history, talents like Li Tingyu are indispensable.

How can I make him work for me? Wang Huan used his brain, of course it is not feasible at the moment, he is still his little military advisor, to put it mildly, it is a refugee rescued by Li Tingyu, and if he wants to turn over, it will take a lot of trouble. I can't wait, I can only figure it slowly.

However, there is a lot of time, from here to SC thousands of mountains and rivers, there are opportunities, Wang Huan secretly motivates himself: things are man-made, with his knowledge accumulation of hundreds of years more than the ancients of this era, I am afraid that I will not be able to achieve the goal?

While thinking, he followed Li Tingyu's footsteps and walked into the camp surrounded by a wooden fence.

The sentry standing guard at the door wearing a shabby Ming army's red mandarin duck battle jacket saw the person from a distance, and had already entered the camp to report, when Li Tingyu walked under the gate, "hula", a crowd of people poured out of the barracks.

"It's a general, it's really a general!"

"General, you're back!"

"General, we thought you left us alone!"

"Your mother farts less! How could the general ignore us? ”

"Yes, yes, it's good for the general to come back, it's good to come back!"

A group of military men surrounded Li Tingyu on the inside and outside three floors, all of them were elated, talking nonsense, shouting, cheering, more lively than the festival, and squeezed Wang Huan and others who followed behind to the side.

Li Tingyu was also very excited, patting this shoulder, pulling that hand, as if there were endless words, endless love, slowly, more and more people gathered at the Yuanmen, and almost the entire military camp ran out, making this Yuanmen as lively as the market.

Seeing that the sun was rising, he stayed at the door for a long time, Li Tingyu had no intention of going inside, Wang Huan stood outside the crowd, couldn't help but get anxious, walked over and whispered to Li Yan, Li Yan had to squeeze into the crowd, and said a few words to Li Tingyu, Li Tingyu stopped and nodded to Li Yan.

Li Yan immediately opened his throat and shouted to a group of military men in front of him: "My lord has an order, all armies will return to their respective battalions, strictly abide by discipline, and more than 1,000 officers will go to the Chinese army tent to wait for orders!" ”

As soon as Li Yan spoke, a group of people who were originally making noise immediately fell silent, and when the order was given, hundreds of people replied in unison: "Yes!" The sound was like thunder, which frightened Wang Huan and other little monks who had never seen the world.

Then, Wang Huan saw the military discipline of the white pole soldiers, the crowd around Li Tingyu, with a burst of military boots chaotic, in the blink of an eye, what should I do, except for a few officers left at the gate, there was no idler, even the sentry who was full of excitement just now, also held a gun in his chest, and stood still like a javelin without squinting.

Li Tingyu waved his hand and led everyone towards the center of the barracks, while Li Yan called a small army and led all the monks except Wang Huan to find a camp to settle down.

Wang Huan looked while walking, and noticed that the soldiers in Li Tingyu's camp were almost all still wearing the military uniforms of the Ming Dynasty army, and the red mandarin duck battle jackets were particularly dazzling, although they were shabby, they were very clean, and there was no sloppy feeling of the ordinary Ming army.

And the camp tent of the Chinese army in front of him is even more mighty, two rows of twenty fresh-clothed soldiers stand solemnly on both sides, the big white tent is twice as large as the ordinary camp tent, there are several big flags on both sides, hunting and flying in the wind, everything looks solemn and solemn.

Wang Huan was both emotional and happy in his heart, feeling that in the current Ming army, there is such an orderly army, I have read in the history books how the white pole soldiers can fight, and today I saw it with my own eyes, and it was even more shocking, and there was a faint style of the iron army that fought all over the world in later generations. Unfortunately, the number of people is too small, and a team of several hundred people thrown into a battlefield where tens of thousands of people are fighting at every turn, just like a small stone thrown into the sea, which cannot splash much waves.

Unconsciously, everyone has entered the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Tingyu sat on the handsome chair in the center, Li Yanzhan stood behind him, and several officers naturally stood on both sides. Wang Huandong looked to the west and stood lightly on the side of the big tent by the door.

Everyone stood still, and Li Tingyu opened his mouth and asked, "Ma Quan, how is the situation in the army recently?" Is there enough food and grass? Can the military heart be stable? ”

An officer responded to the call and stood in the middle, and replied loudly: "My lord, since the adult left, General Liu has not supplied grain and grass, and it has been ten days now. ”

Li Tingyu nodded: "I'm not here these days, it's difficult for you, the chief and quartermaster." ”

Ma Quan arched his hand and said: "It's just a matter of doing your duty." ”

Li Tingyu slapped his big hand on the long case in front of him, stood up, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, on the day of Liu Liangzuo's surrender, I was angry that he betrayed the lord to seek glory and hung the seal, in fact, in order to paralyze the Qing army, and wait for the opportunity to lead the whole army to return to SC It is not to ignore the officers and soldiers of the whole army, although I did not inform the whole army of this matter, but I told a few of you. ”

Several officers bowed their hands in unison and said, "Mark it and remember." ”

"But now there's a better chance." Li Tingyu couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and smiled: "The general came back ahead of schedule, and also brought back Liu Liangzuo's general order and the Qing army's military order, tomorrow, we will be used as a baggage camp to escort the families of the whole army to Xuzhou for settlement." ”

All the officers are happy, everyone is a battle-hardened general, and the meaning of these words is clear as soon as they hear it. Ma Quan immediately asked, "My lord, are we going to take this opportunity to get out?" This is a great opportunity! ”

Li Tingyu smiled and touched the puffy beard, nodded and said: "This general has this intention, this is going to Xuzhou, passing through the county and passing through the state, there are many places on the road where the Qing army does not have time to completely occupy it, we can take the opportunity to arrange, and the whole army will return to Sichuan!" ”

When the officers heard this, their blood boiled even more, go home! What a seductive word, although the horse leather is wrapped in loyalty, Dan is sweaty. Everyone is not afraid of death, but it is even better if they can go home alive.

An officer stood up excitedly, and said in a trembling voice: "Great, my lord, please give an order, we will obey the general's order, no two ambitions, never give up!" ”

Li Tingyu smiled and waved his hand: "Everyone, I did the thing, this plan was not something I came up with, I, Li Laosan, don't have that kind of brain, how to implement this plan, I have to talk about it." ”

After that, Li Tingyu pointed his hand in the direction of the door of the big tent, and the officers were stunned for a moment, and when they looked back, they found that there was a little monk standing at the door.

Li Tingyu smiled: "Wang Huan, what are you doing hiding there?" Come on. ”

Wang Huan saluted the officers who were staring at him with big eyes, Shi Shiran walked through a group of tall soldiers, came to Li Tingyu's side, and said loudly: "Boy Wang Huan, meet the generals." ”

Li Tingyu said to the officers: "From today on, this general will order Wang Huan to return to the customs, be included in our army, serve as a marching senator, and follow this general." ”

The officers obviously couldn't react, and they stood for a while before they replied in a messy manner: "I've seen the senator." ”

Li Tingyu saw that the generals didn't think so, and knew that Wang Huan's appearance as a little monk would definitely not be able to make this group of fighting men look at him, so he had the intention to let Wang Huan show his face, took out the map in his arms, spread it on the long case, and said to Wang Huan: "Come, you come and tell everyone about it." ”

Then he yelled at the officers: "Come here, prick up your ears and listen carefully!" ”

The generals were stunned again, and then reacted and rushed up and gathered around the long case.

In this way, Wang Huan stood in the middle of everyone, like the stars and the moon, he first cleared his throat, and then said with a straight face: "Generals, this plan is called Secretly Crossing Chencang, our army currently has no weapons, no food and grass, tomorrow to the north, the Qing army will definitely have the Eight Banners accompanying it, called protection, but it is actually surveillance, rash action, will only bring about its own destruction." Therefore, our actions must first follow the military orders of the Qing army, go north along the official road in a regular manner, and there must be no signs of disrespect or disobedience along the way, and we must make the appearance of the army being disheartened and surrendering to the Qing army, paralyzing the Qing army, and making them lose their vigilance against us. ”

"And then." He pointed to the map and drew a line along the ink-colored road on the map with his fingers, fixed on the two small characters "Huai'an". "Here, we took advantage of the night to attack it in groups, killed the Qing army who was watching us, took away their weapons and uniforms, changed their appearance, disguised themselves as Qing soldiers, and rushed to Hongze Lake that night."
