Zhuang Yi nodded, kissed her forehead lightly, the two walked out of the big tent hand in hand, Mei Xiang took three maidservants up to salute, Ailan stepped forward and gave instructions, and let them get into the carriage. Zhuang Yi saw that the soldiers were ready, so he helped Ailan into the car, and then he followed, escorted by fifty soldiers out of the city and to the camp in the south of the city.

At the beginning of the morning, the sun rises three poles, Shi Dazhong and Nerigo, Xia Yue and others have led the troops out of the camp to line up, more than 3,000 horsemen plus 4,000 war horses and some baggage and sundries, on the field, black pressure pressed a piece, it is said to be magnificent.

Seeing that the king's tent guards were coming with five carriages, Shi Dazhong hurriedly greeted him. It happened that Zhuang Yi poked his head out of the window of the car and saw him, so he said, "Drive the four carriages behind, and then go to give orders!" It's time to go! ”

Shi Dazhong immediately went with a smile, and the four carriages behind were Mei Xiang and other four maidservants and three carts of daily groceries, etc., Shi Dazhong stepped forward and drove the car away. Then the trumpets sounded, and the army began to march eastward in a line of five horsemen.

In the carriage, Ailan reluctantly threw himself into Zhuang Yi's arms and muttered: "It's not difficult to fight Yingzhou, but the difficulty lies in governance, where there live Bohai people, Ya people, Goryeo people, Silla people, as well as Khitan people and our Xi people, right...... There is also a nest of horse thieves there, named Xiao Bald, who came to rob our cattle and sheep in the autumn of previous years, and was hurt by my father a few years ago, and has not come in the past few years. ”

"Xiao Bald! It seems that you Xi people also have the surname Xiao, it won't be your clansmen! Where his lair is, I'll take it when the time comes. Zhuang Yi said in surprise.

"That's not it...... This Xiao Vuldon is the son of the previous patriarch of the Yuan Qi Folding Department, and because of the struggle for the position of the patriarch, he was defeated by the chief of the Xie Ra clan, so he fled abroad, and later became a horse thief. This man is good at wielding a pair of octagonal bronze hammers, and he is extremely brave, so you should be careful when you meet him. His nest is in Qinglong Mountain, north of the White Wolf Water, and you can just ask them when you ask. In addition, I have prepared a topographic map of Liaodong for you, and you can ask Mei Xiang to find it for you. Alan explained.

"Hmm...... You can rest assured of this! I can handle it, but it's you, don't run around if you have nothing to do, and you can't ride a horse to practice archery anymore. Zhuang Yi saw that Ailan had prepared everything for him, and couldn't help but be very moved in his heart, and said with a smile.

"Got it...... I was thinking, you must be in a hurry! Alan suddenly looked up and smiled.

"What do I have to worry about...... Yingzhou is available in the palm of your hand! ”

"The little lady of the Zhao family must be waiting for you to go back to see her! That's right! There's also a Lei Niang, what are you going to do? ”

Zhuang Yi couldn't help but smile and said, "What...... Are you jealous? That incident is really embarrassing, and it is completely wrong! But she's also a good girl, and she's a good fit for you. Lei Niang? Sooner or later, I have to marry home! ”

"No more! Otherwise...... Send you to the palace to be a eunuch! Ailan's eyes immediately widened, and he roared with a waving small fist.

Hearing Ailan say this, Zhuang Yi laughed and said, "It's only the three of you, isn't it too little?" Why do you have to have three palaces and six courtyards, seventy-two concubines! ”

"Pure nonsense...... What are the seventy-two concubines of the three palaces and six courtyards? Even the emperor of Chang'an only has one queen, seven concubines and nine concubines, and twenty-seven wives, who are you listening to? Alan said with a look of disdain.

"What...... Am I mistaken? How do you know so clearly? Zhuang Yi said in surprise.

"You dirt bun, I guess you haven't been to Chang'an......" Alan covered his mouth and giggled.

Zhuang Yi also laughed, but he hated it in his heart, blaming those Qing palace dramas, damn people who killed people!

Ailan suddenly turned his head, kissed Zhuang Yi's lips like a dragonfly, stretched out his hand to push Zhuang Yi, and said with a smile: "Okay! Don't grind, send you a thousand miles, you must say goodbye! Get out! ”

"Okay...... Wife! I'll miss you......" Zhuang Yi jumped out of the carriage, turned around and gave a flying kiss, and shouted loudly.

"Let's go, let's go......" Alan poked her head out of the window, stretched out her hand and waved a pale red handkerchief and shouted, she said so decisively, but tears flowed out of her breath, until Zhuang Yi stepped on the big black horse and gradually accelerated away, then turned around and told the coachman to drive back to the city. Zhuang Yi immediately took Bian Wu and other personal soldiers to catch up with the advancing army, and sent Xia Yue to lead a battalion of 500 horsemen to explore the road first, after two days of rapid travel, this afternoon arrived at the north bank of the White Wolf Water, Zhuang Yi ordered the army to camp here, and waited for Duan Zhong and Song Lao to lead the Dushan Camp and the White Wolf Camp to meet.

Knowing that this wait was four days, Zhuang Yi was a little anxious, and sent a horse to search south, and it was not until the afternoon of the next day that the horse brought Kang Zhenghe back. Zhuang Yi had to report the great joy and personally went out of the camp to welcome Kang Zhenghe back to the camp.

"Zhenghe! These days, you have returned to Madu Mountain from the tooth tent, and rushed here again, and you have worked hard all the way! And what about Shi Dali? Zhuang Yi patted Kang Zhenghe's shoulder and smiled.

"He is behind with Mr. Duan, and there are still more than thirty miles to go, and it is estimated that he should be able to arrive before dark...... It only took three days for us to go back to Diexiu Village, and then Mr. Duan arranged to move for two days, mainly because of the old and weak people and many belongings, loaded dozens of big cars, and the road was not easy to walk, and it was delayed for two days when we arrived at Wolf Mountain, and today is the fifth day, so it is late. Kang Zhenghe said modestly.

"Can the people left behind be arranged?"

"Zhang Zhen and Zhang Du led a hundred soldiers to stay in Diexiu Village; Duan Sizhen led one of them to stay in the Wolf Mountain, and the rest of the old and weak people all brought it, but they couldn't bring so much grain and grass, and most of them stayed in the village. Oh...... And the lady is also here! ”

"Oh...... That's a good dare, save it and come to pick up people later! You go to rest first, I'll take someone to pick up ......" Zhuang Yi said overjoyed, and instead called Bian Wu to send an order to Shi Dazhong, asking him to bring a battalion to the south with him to meet him.

This is the source of the White Wolf Water, the river is not wide, about two zhang or more, but there is silt at the bottom of the river, Zhuang Yi assigned people to cut down trees and build a temporary wooden bridge for carriages to pass. After doing this, Zhuang Yi crossed the river and went down more than ten miles to the south, and then met the ranger who was exploring the way, and the two sides were overjoyed when they saw it, and the ranger immediately ran back to report the news.

Zhuang Yi waited for a while, and then five hundred horsemen escorted forty or fifty carts, as well as the families of the soldiers, numbering about eight hundred, or riding mules and horses or on foot, and came in a mighty way. The officers who led the way in front were Gao Hongxun and Yuan Zhiyong, and the two of them saw Zhuang Yi leading the troops in the field from afar, and a blue-eyed golden eagle banner was unfurled in the wind, and they were very shocked, and then they were ecstatic and beat their horses to meet them.

"I've seen Lang Jun! These...... Are these our soldiers? Gao Hongxun's face was a little pale, and when he saw so many cavalrymen for the first time, he stammered a little.

"Hahaha...... Of course! Otherwise, how can we take Yingzhou! Take me to Mr. Duan! Zhuang Yi was secretly refreshed, and couldn't help laughing.
