After determining the absolute safety and the fact that Jiannu would not chase after him 100%, admiring the large firelight of the Jiannu camp in the distance, Zhang Chao finally had the opportunity to express the question in his heart, "Why did the imperial court officials and soldiers suddenly come here?" Yang Tao, you didn't go back to Beijing to resume your life, why did you come together? ”

Hearing Zhang Chao's question, Yang Tao immediately laughed, "Hahaha, why can't I come together?" As for the officers and troops of the imperial court, of course, only Banzai can be mobilized. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Saying that, in order to show respect, Yang Tao deliberately arched his hand to the south, and then continued, "The emperor sent me to deliver a decree to General Hou, and sent troops out of the customs to recapture the grain and grass materials transported to Jiannu by Wang Dengku and other merchants, do you think I can not come together?" As a result, I followed General Hou here, but found that Wang Dengku and they had already transported the materials to the camp of Jiannu, and when I was feeling regretful, I suddenly found that the camp of Jiannu was on fire, such a God-given opportunity, do you think we can let go of this great opportunity to rob the camp? ”

"Then Luo Zhenxing and Batu, why are they with you?" Zhang Chao continued to ask, but as soon as this question was asked, he immediately understood, so he asked himself and said, "Oh, I understand, it must be that you saw the Jiannu camp on fire, and when you were killing this side, you met Luo Zhenxing, who had just retreated. ”

"Yes, we were about to rob the camp, but suddenly we found a group of Mongols running towards us, and there was a group of Jiannu chasing them." Halfway through Yang Tao's words, he was picked up by Luo Zhenxing, "Batu and I retreated with fifty Mongol men, but Duoduo of Jiannu ran out to pursue us, making us very embarrassed, but at this time, I suddenly saw the officials and soldiers of the imperial court. ”

"And then you will join forces and defeat the pursuing Duoduo?" Zhang Chao asked.

"That's natural, that Duoduo is young and vigorous, brave and unscrupulous, and ran directly to us with people to die, but was killed by all the people I led." Speaking of this matter, Hou Gongji, who had not spoken on the side, also opened the conversation box, and said very proudly, obviously, he performed quite well in the battle to defeat Duoduo, and his next words also proved this, "It's just a pity that the night was dark at that time, I was aiming at his heart, but I ended up stabbing him in the shoulder, and then he was rescued by the surrounding soldiers and fled, my father did not allow me to continue the pursuit in order not to delay the major event of the robbery of the camp." ”

Hou Gongji said, there seemed to be some regret and complaint between his words, and the title of his father was no longer the "general" he called in the army on weekdays, but directly became "my father".

"Gongji, you must not be rude in front of the superior!" Hou Shilu saw that his son was a little too proud, so he hurriedly stopped him, "That Duoduo is only fourteen or fifteen years old, and his hair has not yet grown, is it worth being so proud to bully a child?" ”

"Yes, General, I am wrong." Hou Gongji listened to his father's reprimand, and quickly opened his mouth to admit his mistake, and the titles of both parties changed to "general" and "despicable position" again. And Hou Shilu said to Yang Tao with a smile, "The dog is stubborn and doesn't understand the rules, and I hope a few superiors will forgive me." ”

Yang Tao said with a smile, "It's okay, General Xiaohou is not only brave, but also has a bold temperament, and we are all very respectful, and the conversation is also very speculative." ”

Hou Shilu was relieved when he heard this, it seems that a few superiors are bold men after all, not the kind of psychopathic general yin eunuchs, who did not hold grudges because of his son's presumptuousness, but also looked very close to each other - Yang Tao and a few of them are naturally not comparable to Hou Shilu as the chief soldier of the important town in terms of official rank, but after all, they are Jinyiwei, and they are also deeply valued by the emperor, and it is naturally not a bad thing for his son to be able to make friends with Jinyiwei.

Saying that, Luo Zhenxing couldn't help but sigh, "General Hou is really a good way to govern the army, and the combat effectiveness of the officers and troops brought this time is so strong, it is really my blessing to the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Where is it, in this battle, the emperor is blessed, and the soldiers are relied on to use their lives, what is the merit of this general?" Hou Shilu hurriedly said humbly like a textbook, in fact, he knows his own family affairs, although he is the chief soldier of Xuanfu, an important town in the nine sides, but what he can really get his hands on is the five thousand elite family members tonight, this time after getting the emperor's will to go out of the customs to seize the goods, he did not dare to be careless at all, and brought out all the elites he could bring, for fear that something would go wrong outside the customs.

Of course, Hou Shilu understood these things in his own heart, and of course it was inconvenient to say it to a few Jinyi guards, so he continued to smile and said, "Since you are chatting with the dogs very speculatively, then let the dogs accompany you on the errands to talk, my old bones still have some military affairs, so I won't follow you young people to mix, haha." ”

"General Hou, please." After Hou Shilu, who was sent to listen to his subordinates' report on the results of the battle, left, Yang Tao and the others began to chat again, and Hou Gongji, who was not controlled by his father, opened the conversation again, "I was busy fighting before, and I didn't think about it carefully, I still don't know how Jiannu's camp started such a big fire, how did Jiannu make their camp have such a big fire?" I don't think this fire is about the same as the 800-mile company camp. ”

"Hahaha, of course this is the credit of our Luo Zhenxing!" Zhang Chao also said with a bold smile, and then told Hou Gongji about Luo Zhenxing and Han Dazhu cooperating with each other and detonating the two carts of gunpowder that Wang Dengku sent to Huang Taiji. Zhang Chao fully discovered his potential storytelling talent, told such a story with suspense and climax, and even added oil and vinegar, and carried out full artistic processing, but he did not give the protagonists of the whole story, that is, Luo Zhenxing and Han Dazhu, a chance to refute.

"Brother Luo is really bold, I admire it!" After listening to this thrilling story, Hou Gongji was also in awe of Luo Zhenxing, and then laughed again, "Jiannu really did it himself, trying in vain to buy gunpowder to make enemies of my Ming Dynasty, but he was so stupid that he put gunpowder and food together and blew up his own camp!" Ha ha! Yang Tao estimated in his heart that judging from Hou Gongji's character, it is estimated that the story told by Zhang Chao this time that Luo Zhenxing's burning of the Jiannu camp will soon spread to the whole army, and maybe it will become a storytelling joke in the streets and alleys in the future.
