Because it was the first time to use the intelligence of the Military Intelligence Department as the basis for action, Mo Li attached great importance to this matter, and the entire Military Intelligence Department, except for himself, needed to preside over the affairs of Luzhou, and the three commanders under him were all dispatched, either rushing to Huaizhou in advance, or setting off with Li Congjing.

This luggage only brought three people from Congjing, so even the scouts were all from the Military Intelligence Department.

The destination is not the state city of Huaizhou, but its next county - Changhe. Qimen is also a county, but compared with Changhe, it is hardly worth mentioning. Changhe is in the east of Huaizhou Prefecture, is one of the richest counties in Huaizhou, garrisoned two commanders, the town general Duan Zhenlin, is a distant relative of Huaizhou Thorn Shi Dong Zhang, and the official worships the captain of the school.

Duan Zhenlin is extremely brave and powerful, and he has won Dong Zhang's trust, but he has a bad temper, and he has a hobby that is well known for his longevity - good beauty. Because the New Year is approaching, Dong Zhang has been rewarded a lot, Duan Zhenlin got the goods, and then he moved his heart to eat and lust, and he didn't know when he took a fancy to a small jasper, and this time he simply took advantage of the twenty-fourth year of the month to marry.

Therefore, Li Congjing's trip was born.

"If you want to say that the land of pseudo-Liang, the land is rich, the water conservancy is convenient, and the products are abundant, and it is indeed much richer than my Jindi. Such a rich place should have the consciousness of being plundered. Li Rong followed Li Congjing's side and said with a smile.

"Doesn't that mean that our trip can be regarded as robbing the rich and helping the poor?" Meng Ping continued the topic.

Li Congjing heard this, and laughed: "Robbing the rich and helping the poor, that is the work of a chivalrous man like Commander Tao, we call it levy." ”

Since Tao Yao entered the Military Intelligence Department, Li Congjing no longer calls her the big boss, she is one of the three commanders of the Military Intelligence Department, and Li Congjing is called Tao Commander.

Tao Xiaoxiao ignored everyone's words, her tone was calm, and she said: "Duan Zhenlin's forced marriage to the folk girl this time, we have been in contact with it before, and we have read some books, but this is not the point, the point is that this woman is extremely cunning. I'm thinking that if she sneaks away this time, we'll run away for nothing this time. ”

Li Congjing was surprised: "Extremely cunning? "A thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl was evaluated as extremely cunning by Tao Xiaoyao, which surprised Li Congjing.

"Not bad." Tao Yao said, "Because of this, we didn't have an in-depth communication with it. ”

"No matter what, if Duan Zhenlin can't even subdue a thirteen or fourteen-year-old little doll, we won't have to worry about him." Li Rong said.

Meng Ping was filled with righteous indignation: "This Zhenlin is really unbearable, even the little girl is not spared!" ”

"Thirteen or fourteen years old, not too young!" Li Congjing sighed, he remembered that in the twenty-second year of Kaiyuan, the imperial court also issued a decree, requiring men over fifteen years old and women over thirteen years old to be married. However, it was a temporary policy adopted by the imperial court in order to increase the population.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, everyone immediately attracted angry eyes, as if everyone suddenly saw clearly: Oh, so you are such a beast!

Although Duan Zhenlin's character is unbearable, he is not bad at governing the army, and more than 1,000 soldiers under his command dare to fight. Duan Hao, the commander of the infantry army, is afraid that even on his wedding night, he will not let down his vigilance. Tao Xiaoxiao continued.

Although Li Congjing thought in his heart that these not a small part of the army were composed of outlaws, chivalrous, hooligans, and ruffians, although there was no lack of combat effectiveness on the battlefield, but the military discipline was really not flattering, but he still said: "So you should be cautious." ”

The plan discussed by Li Congjing and everyone was very simple, that is, to take advantage of Duan Zhenlin's wedding night, raid Changhe, control it in one fell swoop, and then move enough goods and quickly evacuate, and wait for the next day when his soldiers woke up from the hangover, they had entered the territory of the Jin Kingdom, and Li Shaocheng would also lead a large army to meet them.

There are naturally many difficulties and even crises in this, but this battle is not a conventional battle, and it is complemented by the military intelligence department.

Out of the border of the Jin Kingdom, the Hundred Battles Army began to march day and night, accelerating its march. On the eve of Duan Zhenlin's wedding, the Hundred Battles Army arrived at a dense forest not far from Changhe City. At this time, there was already someone from the Military Intelligence Department who was here to answer him. The leader who came to answer was the last of the three commanders of the Military Intelligence Department, Wu Changjian.

"Although the general can rest assured, the scouts of Changhe City will definitely not be able to find here." According to the arrangement of the military intelligence department, three hundred soldiers hid in the dense forest, Wu Changjian said.

"How's it going in the city?" Li Congjing asked.

"It's business as usual." Wu Changjian said, "As soon as it should be arranged, it will be arranged properly, just wait for tomorrow night to do it." ”

After Li Congjing asked Wu Changjian about some details, he was relieved. Tao Yaoyao suddenly asked, "Has the little lady been under your surveillance all along?" Did you escape? ”

Wu Changjian said: "Commander Tao is an unpredictable prophet, and his subordinates are about to explain to the general that under Duan Zhenlin's strict monitoring, this little lady actually escaped from his mansion today, although he was found and arrested in time, but Duan Zhenlin was also very angry. ”

Li Congjing was slightly stunned, and had to say: "This little guy seems to have some ability." ”

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, since Shen Shi, Changhe City has been lively, the sound of firecrackers is particularly loud, spread to the dense forest outside the city, Meng Ping said unhappily: "This guy must be smiling at this time, but I don't know that his head will bloom tonight!" ”

"I don't know if your head will bloom, but tonight, you will definitely smile too." Li Congjing joked with a smile.

Meng Ping smiled. Li Congjing kicked it away, "Go and see how the ladder is prepared." ”

Li Congjing looked in the direction of Changhe City, but saw that the sky was covered with clouds, and Changhe City was isolated on the plain, and there was a situation of black clouds overwhelming the city and wanting to destroy it.

After looking at the sky for a while, Li Congjing frowned and said, "I'm afraid there will be heavy snow tonight." ”

Li Congjing was not bad.

At night, it snowed for thousands of miles. In less than an hour, the snowy snow was already thick in the treetops of the dense forest. In the snowy night, many of the soldiers of the Hundred Battles Army in the dense forest, even if they were physically strong, began to tremble. Even the sergeant who was not trembling, and the hand holding the cold* hilt of the knife was also dark and green.

There is hardly a single battle that will take place on a snowy day.

People's bones are frozen and stiff, and their weapons are unstable, so what kind of battle are they fighting?

What's more, it's still a siege raid.

That would be tantamount to suicide.

But Li Congjing knew that tonight's battle must be fought.

Putting aside the fact that this battle is very important, Li Congjing also hopes that his army can withstand all difficulties and dangers, and although the snow-capped mountains and swamps cannot hinder its progress. What he needs is not an ordinary army, but a real elite army.

Heavy snow slows down blood flow and makes people feel cold. So, is there any way to make people's blood boil?

"Ruixue Zhaofeng year, this snow is good!"

I don't know who sighed so at this time. Li Congjing followed the prestige, but saw a young sergeant, rubbing his hands, looking up at the snow-covered sky.

Li Congjing recognized this young sergeant, his name was Lin Ying, not only because of his eye-catching performance in the capital examination, but also because he had a face that was fairer and more delicate than ordinary women.

Li Congjing sat down and said to Lin Ying with a smile: "Ruixue Zhaofeng Nian, it is true. Next year, you should have a good harvest at home. ”

Lin Ying didn't expect Li Congjing to take the initiative to talk to him, he was a little excited at first, then his eyes were gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "My eldest brother and I don't have a home anymore." ”

Li Congjing didn't expect to get such an answer, Lin Ying's demeanor made his heart tense for a while, and he suddenly thought that he was not a homeless person? He stood up, walked over, patted Lin Ying on the shoulder, and said, "It's okay, I believe that your son will definitely have a happy home in the future." ”

Lin Ying didn't expect Li Congjing to say this, he was stunned for a moment before he understood the meaning of Li Congjing's words, and then a smile spread on his face, and said: "Follow the commander of the capital, the kid believes that there will be a day!" ”

Li Congjing also smiled, he straightened up and looked around at everyone, and said: "You and others are all elite soldiers of the Hundred Battles Army, and they are really sharp soldiers who are ten with one as ten. If this battle is successful, the meritorious service is very great, and the three hundred soldiers are all meritorious heroes of the hundred battles, and they are admired by the whole army, and they are known. But this battle is so difficult, have you ever thought about it? ”

After a period of silence, someone said: "If there is something that can be begged for benefits without effort, I am not afraid of difficulties!" ”

"Yes, as long as the commander gives the order, we dare to kill it!" Someone then shouted.

Li Congjing never doubted the courage of the Hundred Battles Army, he continued: "You and I are both soldiers, soldiers are born for war, and exist because of war. This is the fate of soldiers. Born in troubled times, this is also everyone's fate. ”

"It's not a good bird to lose a bowl with a big scar on your head, and you're afraid of death!" There is humanity, "Since ancient times, wealth has been sought in danger!" ”

This is the quintessential brave.

Lin Ying suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Commander, I have something I want to say!" ”

Li Congjing looked at him with a smile and said, "But it doesn't hurt to say it." He knew that he had just spoken to him and expressed his concern and expectations, and by this positive psychological hint, Lin Ying should be extremely passionate at this time.

Lin Ying looked at the soldiers and said loudly: "Boy Lin Ying, like most of the comrades here, is a small farmer, and his family has been farming for generations. Now is a troubled time, it is not easy to survive, what the kid wants to say is that people like you and me, who have nothing, want to live in this world, want to get ahead, if you don't work hard, what else can you fight?! ”

When the three hundred soldiers heard this, they were all stunned, and no one spoke in the middle of the sound.

Then there was a sudden outburst of applause.

Li Congjing didn't expect that Lin Ying, who seemed to be quiet and quiet, could say such a thing, and he couldn't help but be surprised for a while.

"The world is difficult, survival is not easy, people who have nothing, want to live, want to get ahead, don't work hard, what do you fight?" Li Congjing chewed this sentence carefully, and his heart couldn't help but stir.

Even Li Congjing is like this, not to mention other soldiers.

However, although Li Congjing was not afraid of the soldiers talking, if he continued to make such a fuss, there was heavy snow as a cover, and scouts stared outside, and he couldn't help but worry that someone would find out their whereabouts, so he suppressed everyone's voices.

"Lin Ying is right, this is an era of warriors, if you and I can't fight, we don't deserve to live." Li Congjing said. After a pause, he said: "The envoy told you before that if you defeat this, you will all be the envoy's personal guards, and in the future, you will gallop on the battlefield with the envoy and make meritorious contributions." Although the military order is the same, now, the envoy has changed his mind. ”

"Why did the commander change his mind?" Everyone was stunned, and many people even showed a strong look of disappointment in their eyes.

"Because the envoy has decided, appoint you and others now to guard the envoy!" Li Congjing said awe-inspiringly.

As soon as he said this, almost all the soldiers stood up and were excited. Defending the main general is not only an honor, but also a manifestation of strength, and also the support of oil and water and a good future.

Li Congjing saw that everyone was about to start shouting excitedly, raised his hand to suppress everyone's high-spirited emotions, and said: "Since you are the original envoy and personal guard, you can't have a name." You have been waiting for a long time to join the Hundred Battles Army, do you think there is any title that is very in line with your heart? ”

When he asked, everyone immediately thought about it, and in an instant, many names were reported. All the soldiers, the blade command, and the advancing army were all shouted out, and some even shouted the murderous army.

In the end, after Meng Ping muttered to some people for a long time, he walked out, hugged his fists and said: "In the army, the soldiers and soldiers, the commanders of the Mengdu are loved, and they can read and write, these days, if you want to say that from the commander to the ordinary soldiers, they all have a favorite title, and the general believes that there is no other ...... besides."

Before he could finish his sentence, someone was already shouting, "Gentleman! ”

When this man shouted, everyone answered.

Meng Ping also smiled: "It's a gentleman." ”

Enlightenment in the army naturally cannot avoid Confucian education, in fact, almost all the teachers invited are Confucian. It is known as a "gentleman" and has already become a benchmark.

Li Congjing saw that everyone agreed with it and thought it was very good, so he said: "Okay, from now on, this envoy will be named the Gentleman's Capital!" After returning to the camp, the flag will be awarded! ”

Under the leadership of Meng Ping, everyone bowed and said: "Thank you for your love!" ”

Li Congjing saw that the goal had been achieved, and then his face was solemn, and he said: "The gentlemen are all standing, and the battle of Changhe is the first battle of the gentlemen, and it is the first battle of the hundred battles. This envoy ordered, the gentlemen were all on standby, and a moment later they raided Changhe! ”
