Chapter 837: Expedition 2

The Yejiabao army finally walked on the official road after all the hardships, although they were already tired one by one, but the march route had been set, and they had to arrive in Baoding City before evening. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Brothers, hold on a little longer, and you will soon reach Baoding City!"

Su Can rode a horse, shuttling back and forth in front of the army and shouting, encouraging the soldiers who were already physically and mentally exhausted to continue their journey.

The downpour did not weaken in the slightest, but became more and more ferocious, Su Can frowned and looked at the sky, but he was helpless, wiped the rain on his face, and continued to ride his horse and shout to encourage the soldiers.

No matter how difficult the road is, no matter how far the end is, there is a time to arrive, with the efforts of Su Can and Li Chengke, the army gritted its teeth and insisted on finally arriving at Baoding City in the evening.

The Yejiabao army who stayed in Baoding City had already prepared a steaming meal and waited, and the soldiers had food to eat as soon as they entered the city.

Baoding City is now an empty city, there is no half of the people in the city, and the original local people have been transferred to the capital, or Yejiabao to live and live.

Baoding City has been classified by Ye Shaolong as a military battleground, if Tianjin City is successfully taken. Baoding City became the center of the capital, Yejiabao and Tianjin.

In the future, this is the garrison of the army, and troops can be sent from here to reinforce the other three places at any time.

The Yejiabao army, which had worked hard to come to Baoding City, had already fallen asleep after eating and drinking. Baoding City, which has been lively for less than an hour, has returned to calm.

Su Can, Tie Ta and Li Chengke gathered in the palace hall of Baoding City, and reported the situation of the army to Aixin Haoran, the marshal on the main throne.

"Marshal, the cavalry battalion has lost more than 20 horses, and none of the soldiers have been damaged." The tower was very proud, and this time it was also the cavalry battalion that was the most relaxed.

Su Can glared at the tower dissatisfied, he and Li Chengke took into account the situation of the cavalry battalion, so they didn't ask them to help push the grain cart, but let them be in charge of guarding.

Tie Ta knew that his cavalry battalion had been cheapened, and he didn't dare to show off in front of Su Can, so he honestly shut up and retreated.

Su Can then said: "The musket battalion and the infantry battalion, due to the heavy rain and muddy roads, more than 100 soldiers in the army are sick, and two others have been accidentally killed or wounded, so there is nothing wrong with the army." ”

"Well, it's good that the army is fine, everyone has been busy for a day, so let's disperse if it's okay. We have to leave for Tianjin early tomorrow morning, and everyone will have a good rest tonight. Aixin Haoran waved his hand listlessly and retreated from everyone, then turned around and went back to rest.

Today's journey is very hard, and he has always had such an experience when he was clothed and fed. It was also after this time that he finally understood the hardships of the march.

The night passed in a blink of an eye, and the sun rising in the east dispelled the gloom, and the sky finally cleared. The barracks were rejuvenated in the morning light.

Under the leadership of their respective generals, the soldiers quickly assembled on the school field and stood quietly in the morning light waiting for the arrival of the coach.

Aixin Haoran is still sleepy, I don't know why I couldn't sleep last night, people are obviously very sleepy, but I just can't sleep. It wasn't until dawn that I finally took a nap, but I was woken up to inspect the army.

"Dashuai, we're here!" Seeing that Aixin Haoran was confused, but he didn't inspect the army when he arrived in front of the army, Su Can had to remind him loudly.

Aixin Haoran, who was in good spirits, quickly inspected the army, and then gave the order to set off. Go to Tianjin City, if you start in Baoding City, this road is much easier, Aixin Haoran simply found a carriage, and fell asleep as soon as he got into it.

And the affairs of the Overseer will naturally be handed over to Su Can, who is doing his best. Knowing that the handsome body couldn't bear it, Su Can didn't say much, and let Aixin Haoran get it.

The Yejiabao army set off from Baoding City again, and slaughtered Tianjin City, which was only half a day's journey.

Soon after Yejiabao's army left Baoding City, they were discovered by spies who were monitoring the movement of Baoding City from afar, and the spies immediately rushed back to Tianjin City to report.

Tianjin City is the original Tianjin Wei of the Ming Dynasty, the whole city is backed by the sea, is the largest port city in the northern region. At present, it is occupied by the original imperial relatives and seven princes, and due to the frequent harassment of foreigners' ships and Japanese pirates, the sea port of Tianjin City has long been closed.

In the past, there was Baoding City as an acropolis, and since Baoding City fell into the hands of Ye Shaolong, the Seventh Prince felt unparalleled pressure.

He also sent spies to keep an eye on the movement of Baoding City, and after the last attack of the Taiyuan Army, the current Qing army in Tianjin City was like a frightened bird.

As in the past, after the seventh prince got up, he always liked to ride a horse to patrol the city, and today he just came to the north city gate, and he met the spies who rushed back to report the movement of Baoding City.

Knowing that Yejiabao was actually pressed by a large army, the Seventh Prince had a bad premonition. Ordering the spies to pay close attention to the movements of the Yejiabao army, he immediately returned to the mansion and summoned all the generals to discuss.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Yejiabao army is menacing this time, and it must have some schemes. If this king is not wrong, he will definitely come to attack our Tianjin City. What do you think about this, or what can be done to resist the army of Yejiabao coming to invade my Tianjin City. After the Seventh Prince explained the whole story, he sought a good way to defend himself against the enemy.

But his voice fell for a long time, but no one stood up to respond to him, and gradually the Seventh Prince became more and more angry, and habitually set his eyes on Shen Xuan, who was also a military advisor.

"Tell me if there is a way to resolve this crisis." Seeing that no one replied, the Seventh Prince simply named him.

Shen Xuan secretly said unlucky, but he had no choice but to get up and prevaricate: "Lord Wang, this Yejiabao has never taken the initiative to attack, and now he doesn't know what he means." Why don't we send someone to investigate first, and after we know their true intentions, we will discuss. ”

The Seventh Prince frowned: "You mean that it is possible that Yejiabao is not here to attack the city. ”

Shen Xuan nodded and replied: "Lord Wang, my subordinates think it's very possible, so we don't have to mess around at all now, and it's the most important thing to find out what it means first." ”

The Seventh Prince pondered for a moment and agreed with Shen Xuan's proposal: "Okay, according to what you said, but who should we send to contact the Yejiabao army now?" ”

While speaking, the Seventh Prince's gaze never left Shen Xuan's body for a moment. Obviously, his meaning was already obvious, and he wanted Shen Xuan to take a trip.

Shen Xuan secretly said unlucky, and reluctantly took the initiative to ask: "If the prince can be trusted, Shen Xuan is willing to go and talk to Ye Jiabao." ”

"Okay, this king really didn't misunderstand you, and there was a trip to the Lao Army. This king is here to wait for your good news! ”

The Seventh Prince didn't even save hypocrisy, and directly followed Shen Xuan's words, and settled down in one bite.
