Jiubianchong belongs to Xuanfu.

Standing on the Changping gatehouse in the southern city of Xuanfu, whether it is Zhu Hui, the prince of the country, or Miao Kui, the eunuch of the imperial horse and the eunuch of the army, they all have the deepest feeling about these words. The two of them are no better than those nobles or eunuchs who have stayed in the capital and have never gone out, and they have led troops from the capital to Yansui to fight a battle, and no matter whether that battle is won or lost, or they have not even taken a picture of the enemy's face, but this does not prevent the two from always having more knowledge such as the British Gong Zhang Mao, who has never fought in his life.

At this time, Zhu Hui looked into the distance according to the city wall, and suddenly exhaled: "The total length of the city wall of Wanquan Right Guard is no more than six miles, the city wall of Wanquan Left Guard and Huai'an Wei is only nine miles, and the city wall of Xuanfu is a full thirteen miles, a full three feet and five feet high. Holding on is the best policy, if it weren't for the front soldier Zhang Jun who had to rush into the division of troops, how could there be such a big defeat? ”

Miao Kui and Zhu Hui have worked together once, of course they know that Zhu Hui is a surname who is stable and enterprising, and if he says it well, it is safe, and if he doesn't say it well, it is a turtle with a shrunken head. He sneered and contemptible in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "That's right, so the Ministry of War and the Household Department are urging to find the main force of the Tartars to fight a decisive battle, and our family has blocked it a few times." Unexpectedly, Bao Guogong actually made a clever move and transferred Xu Xun over to investigate intelligence. ”

"He is the favored minister of the Son of Heaven, as long as he is pulled into the water this time, it will be easy to say any credit at that time. Even if there is no credit, share some of him, he will always help us say a good word or two in front of the palace, and that is also our affection with him. Zhu Hui never mentioned that this matter was Li Dongyang's suggestion, and later Xu Xun made the bosses in Beijing uneasy because of the incident, so he pushed the boat down the river. When he looked up and looked into the distance, he could already see the team of people meandering forward on the horizon, so he smiled at Miao Kui and said, "There will be Lao Miao's father-in-law next." ”

When Zhu Hui went down the steps next to the Changping Gatehouse, Miao Kui sank his face and spit on the ground angrily. Ever since he became the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch and commanded the four guard battalions and the warrior battalion, he has always thought about making meritorious contributions on the battlefield and immediately looking for a marquis - even if he has a title, he is a cheap family - so he originally had great hopes in the previous expedition to Ning Sui. Who knew that he relied on killing the Tartar Tanma to frequently report his merits to the capital, but Zhu Hui's main force was defeated, and he had no choice but to pinch his nose and continue to report the victory. Fortunately, the civil officials in the capital were not confused, but Emperor Hongzhi was not theoretical after all. But Zhu Hui has the name of a pus-filled general on his back, and he can't get rid of the name of the pus-filled prison army!

"Shou Shou, the emperor gave you so many soldiers, didn't let you sleep in Xuanfu for you!"

With a snort from his mouth, Miao Kui stared at the centaurs in the distance for a while, and there was a trace of undue luxury in his heart. Perhaps, the young man he once wanted to befriend, but he has always been a little unable to pull his face to make a strong friendship, can really find out the whereabouts of the Tartars, so that these idle armies can now fight a real victory?

Xu Xun naturally didn't know that Zhu Hui and Miao Kui had completely different thoughts. He didn't walk fast on this way, not only according to the current training of sergeants, a march of 180 miles was already considered well-trained, but because the soldiers and horses that Zhu Hui wanted to bring to Xuanfu were not complete at all, and there were even procrastination waiting for him to leave before he set off on the road, so a huge official road was blocked tightly. If it weren't for the fact that he was really impatient to show the golden sign of the little emperor, he was afraid that he would not have wanted to arrive for another four days.

That's it, seeing the military appearance along the way, he still has a heavy heart. The imperial court said that it was 20,000 reinforcements, but it was a military horse brought to Zhu Hui, the Duke of Baoguo, and Zhu Houzhao had prepared for subsequent transfers, not less than 40,000 or 50,000, and this was the result of the efforts of the Chinese officials of the DPRK to reduce it. He was originally unimpressed by the civilian forces to block the reinforcements, but he saw that those troops trampled on countless people's fields on the way, and the people on the road would rather walk around the official road, and he also encountered a group of generals surrounded by a few clear-eyed pro-soldiers swaggering through the market, and all kinds of unbearable and ugly things made him feel angry in his heart. At this moment, seeing that he was about to reach the city of Xuanfu, he had to turn around and wave to the neat five hundred people.

"It's almost time to reach the Xuanfu, all cheer up!"

When there were still hundreds of steps away from the city gate, a horse sent out before flew back, rolled the saddle and knelt down on one knee to the front of the horse, knelt down on one knee and said, "My lord, the superintendent Miao Gonggong greeted him at the Changping Gate." ”

Xu Xun was stunned when he heard this, and glanced at Zhang Yong, both of whom were surprised. Since Miao Kui greeted him personally, it was not easy for them to procrastinate, Xu Xun ordered Qian Ning to lead the team, and immediately rushed over with Zhang Yong. When he got closer, he jumped off his horse neatly, handed the reins to an oncoming horseman, and strode towards Miao Kui.

"How dare Lao Miao's father-in-law greet him?"

"Eh, just because of the fold of Baoguo Gong, you don't enjoy the great wealth of the court, hurry up and eat sand to Xuanfu, why shouldn't our family come to greet you?" Miao Kui said and glanced at Zhang Yong with a smile, "Besides, Baoguo Gong not only invited you, Lord Xu, but also brought Gong Zhang, the most knowledgeable soldier in the palace, isn't this an unexpected surprise?" ”

Zhang Yong once played with Wang Shouren at Zhu Houzhao's place, and it was very pointed out that Miao Kui didn't understand military affairs and only knew how to take risks, and at this time, a tall hat with the most knowledgeable soldiers was sent up, he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and after coughing dryly, he stepped forward to salute and even humbly didn't dare, and then he didn't speak again.

And Miao Kui didn't care about himself, and when the follow-up soldiers and horses arrived, he said with a pleasant face: "Recently, a wave of reinforcements has come over, and some have been placed in Wanquan Left and Right Guards and Huai'an Guards, but most of them are stationed in Xuanfu City, and the barracks are the most lacking. Fortunately, the weather is hot, and the resettlement on the spot can still survive. However, Lord Xu, you have come from afar, our family has already prepared a barracks, not far from the Changping Gatehouse, let them settle it first. A few of you are new to the city, so we'll take you around the city again. ”

"Thank you, Grandpa Miao!"

Xu Xun knew that although he was suddenly transferred to Xuanfu, no matter whether Miao Kui or Zhu Hui, he couldn't treat the little emperor so badly in the general details that he angered the little emperor, so no matter how difficult it was, he couldn't suffer the five hundred people he brought. After thanking him at this time, he summoned Qian Ning to give a few instructions, and asked him to follow Miao Kui's first middle-aged eunuch to place the soldiers, and even Zhang Yong sent away the two middle-aged eunuchs and a few small firefighters who came out with him with a look, and in the end, except for Xu Xun and Zhang Yong, only two young people were left. And Miao Kui squinted his eyes for a long time, and then showed a clear expression.

"Is it the second son of the Dingguo Mansion, and the son of Qi in the family of the eldest princess of Renhe?"

Although Xu Yanche and Qi Jiliang are somewhat famous among the sons and brothers in the capital, Miao Kui, the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, is their elders who have to deal with respectfully, and when they saw that Miao Kui actually recognized them, both of them were taken aback, and immediately hurriedly saluted. Miao Kui didn't seem to see it for the first time, he praised Xu Yanche for not leaving the shadow of his ancestors, and praised Qi Ji's mother for her filial piety, and the two young people were full of energy.

When the five hundred people had all been taken away, he said with a smile: "When you first arrived today, our family has prepared a place for you to catch the wind, which is near the famous Qingyuan Building of Xuanfu. Eat and drink Secondly, there are some major military affairs, we have to talk to you. ”

Qingyuan building is located at the intersection of Xuanfu North and South Streets, the foundation alone has a whole three zhang high, the whole building has three floors, the heavy eaves multi-angle cross ridge rest on the top of the mountain, the carved beams and painted buildings needless to say, there is a big bronze bell placed in the inside, so the Xuanfu locals call it the bell tower again. Because Xuanfu is located in the nine sides of Chong, this bell tower in addition to the evening drum and morning bell, and has the role of ringing the bell at the critical moment to warn the whole city, even if there are a few sergeants guarding the two sides of the hole under the day. And Xu Xun, who came to Xuanfu for the first time, stopped at the south gate where the plaque of Qingyuan Tower was hung, looked up for a moment, and then followed Miao Kui directly into a three-story restaurant on the side.

At this moment, Xu Xun's entourage and others, including the pro-soldiers, have been led by Miao Kui's people to resettle, and even Miao Kui himself did not bring a few servants, and there were only seven people in the group, which naturally seemed low-key. Xu Xun followed Miao Kui to the third floor, and the leading guy pushed open the door in front of him, only to see that this was a large box facing Qingyuan Building on the east side, which occupied almost half of the third floor of the entire restaurant, and there was only one round table in the huge space, except for the tables, chairs and a few stools, it seemed empty, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"This is a place reserved for those singers and dancers, if they are too small to pose, they will not have momentum. In the past, this place was contracted by the chief soldier Zhang Jun for many years, but now that he has just lost the battle, the shopkeeper in this place has the courage to vacate it. Speaking of this, Miao Kui glanced at the guy who didn't dare to make a sound and said, "Let you be careful in the kitchen and pack up a few good dishes and send them over." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." The guy had only heard that today's group of big patrons were generous, but now when he saw this white-faced and slightly chubby middle-aged man calling the name of the general soldier, he couldn't help but think of the big men who came from the Beijing division to reinforce this time, and he was silent for a while, and after agreeing repeatedly, he asked cautiously, "This master, can you pick a few clean and sensible little girls to sing the tune?" ”

"No, you don't." Miao Kui immediately shook his head, and when the others bowed and closed the door and retreated, he raised his hand and asked Xu Xun Zhang Yong and Xu Yanche Qi Jiliang to sit, and Nunu gestured to the people to guard at the door, and then said with a sneer, "Youdao is the barracks of Shuozhou, the school field of Xuanhua, the city wall of Ulzhou, and the mother-in-law of Datong." Now in this Xuanfu, the Xuanhua school has to stand aside, but Datong mother-in-law is all over the place, it is really the world's style that the people's hearts are not ancient! ”

When he first arrived, Xu Xun couldn't talk about the real situation in Xuanfu, so he naturally didn't intend to comment easily, so he just made a haha. Fortunately, Miao Kui is a person who is good at words, and while waiting for the food to be served, even Zhang Yong, who has never dealt with him well, gradually temporarily abandoned those old things. However, just when Miao Kui waited for a long time for the food and drinks to arrive, and was slightly annoyed, there was a commotion outside.

"I'd like to see which daring person dares to take advantage of the adult's injury to occupy the dove's nest!"
