The white-robed army retreated, the soldiers began to fight the fire, at this time the camp is also very particular, must rely on the water, this camp is a small river, the camp is also put in a lot of large wooden barrels, filled with water, is specially set up for firefighting.

The fire had almost been extinguished, and the vicinity of the tent was presumably heavily guarded and undamaged.

Along the way, Lian Zining asked how the casualties were, and Kang Lu was also refreshed, and said: "The casualties are not big, and the total number of the whole army is only more than a thousand, most of them died in the fire and trampled on by their own people, and those who were killed by the white-robed army were only two or three hundred." ”

Lian Zining nodded, as if he had an understanding.

When he arrived at the tent, Kang Lu arched his hand: "The last general still has a job, so he will retire first." ”

Lian Zining smiled: "Lord Kang, please." ”

Kang Lu blinked, lowered his voice, and said: "Your Excellency is in a bad mood, and you intend to send cavalry to attack, chase down the white-robed rebels, and take back a city. ”

Lian Zining knew that he was selling well, so he confessed his feelings and thanked him.

As soon as Lian Zining entered the tent, he heard a burst of angry scolding.

In the big tent, hundreds of armored soldiers are around, everyone is in armor, and the sword is out of the sheath, and the murderous atmosphere is awe-inspiring!

In the middle of the big tent, Zhang Yanchang was scolding himself, pacing while scolding, waving his arms nervously, obviously a little confused. He has always been majestic and self-respecting, and his joy and anger are invisible, but now he is scolding and ruining his image, and he is obviously extremely angry.

It was Luo Yangqing who was scolded, drooping his head, kneeling on the ground just trembling, but he didn't dare to say a word.

Dozens of generals stood in two rows, all bowing their heads and frowning, like old monks.

Among the handsome tents, there are already many generals, and it seems that there is only one one left. Lian Zining saw that Zhang Yanchang didn't pay attention to himself, so he quietly occupied the end of the train and began to watch a good show.

"You idiot, you are still a member of a family of generals, you have a good background, but you are such an incompetent and stupid person, you can't do big things well, and you can't even do the errand of sentry reconnaissance?" Zhang Yanchang pointed at Luo Yangqing, his angry eyebrows trembled: "The white-robed rebel thief killed nearly three miles to the left of the camp and found out, what about the outpost released by your Pingshan Guard?" They all eat white rice? If you can't do these things well, what does the old man want you to do? ”

Luo Yangqing knelt on the ground, and felt aggrieved in his heart, what your old man said was that the white-robed army would definitely not raid today, so I relaxed a little. Besides, the people below are lazy in arranging the outposts, so what's my business? I just let people splash cold water from the bed, and now I'm still wet!

Zhang Yanchang scolded for a while, seemed to be tired, waved his hand, and said: "Pull it out, ten military sticks!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

With a loud shout, the two guards pulled Luo Yangqing down.

Luo Yangqing was also stubborn, and he didn't say anything, and he didn't beg for mercy and dragged him down. After a while, there was a muffled sound of fried meat with bamboo shoots and a very low muffled sound outside.

All the generals are awe-inspiring, Zhang Yanchang is strict, but he has always been very tolerant of the generals, and this anger also makes people really frightened, so that no one dares to intercede for Luo Yangqing.

Zhang Yanchang took a deep breath, calmed down, glanced around, and stared at everyone: "Everyone, what is happening today is a lesson!" The next time you do it again, Ben Shuai is going to kill someone! ”

The tone was calm, faintly murderous, and everyone knew in their hearts that this Zhang Dashuai would definitely not say it casually, and all the generals would obey it.

Zhang Yanchang's eyes swept to Lian Zining, and said, "General Lian is here?" Report the casualties! ”

"Yes, Dashuai!" Lian Zining came out of the ranks, gave a military salute first, and said respectfully: "The subordinate Wu Yi army did not have a single casualty, killed more than 100 white-robed soldiers, and captured more than 60 war horses. ”

"What?" Zhang Yanchang was stunned, and his face was already a little displeased: "General Lian, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Don't say that Zhang Yanchang didn't believe it, even everyone else looked at Lian Zining with puzzled eyes.

"That's true." Lian Zining said unhurriedly: "When the white-robed army arrived, the Wuyi army formed a phalanx, with the firecrackers in front and the spearmen behind, and then concentrated all the surrounding hundred-step tents in one place. Later, hundreds of white-robed rebels and thieves came out, and they were fired by our firecrackers, killing and wounding hundreds of people, and those white-robed soldiers withdrew. ”

It was the first time that the surrounding generals heard that Wu Yijun had a firecracker, and they all knew the soldiers, so they naturally knew that the firecracker could exert great power if used properly, so they all suddenly realized.

"Good, good, good!" Zhang Yanchang was very happy when he heard this, he said three good words in a row, and a smile appeared on his face, and he felt even more pleasing to the eye when he saw Lian Zining: "Wu Yijun has a good way to resist the enemy this time, and he is not chaotic in the face of danger, which can be an example, and this handsome will be rewarded later!" ”

Lian Zining hurriedly humbled: "This is the last general's internal matter, and I don't dare to praise him as a handsome." ”

"We'll talk about that later." Zhang Yanchang went up five steps, sat on the handsome chair, looked down at everyone, and said: "Today, the camp was attacked by white-robed rebels, and the casualties of all departments were not serious, but it was a great blow to the morale of the army. Morale is low, this battle is already lost if it is not big! Therefore, Ben Shuai intends to use our army's elite cavalry to pursue the white robe and restore the morale of the army! What do you think? ”

"Dashuai, the last general thinks it can't be!" As soon as Zhang Yanchang's voice fell, someone came out of the queue below, Lian Zining saw it, but it was the commander of the Shenyang Zhongtun Guard, called Zhao Maxiang, and said: "My lord, the last general thinks it is impossible." The white-robed rebel thief has two horses and three horses, coming and going like the wind, fast and incoherent, and our cavalry will definitely not be able to outrun others. If you can't chase it, it's just futile and fruitless, I'm afraid that I will be outflanked by the white-robed traitor, and I'm afraid that I will suffer heavy losses. We have a lot of foot soldiers, the cavalry is already cherished, and the morale of the army can be re-inspired, but if we lose these elites for this, wouldn't it be a pity? ”

These words were reasonable, well-organized, and very reasonable, which caused Lian Zining to take a good look at him up and down. This Zhao Maxiang is burly, with a square face of Chinese characters, strong and resolute.

Lian Zining sighed, this Zhao Maxiang is a clear-headed person and dares to speak, but he is too straightforward, and his words are straightforward, which is too offensive.

Zhang Yanchang was expressionless and said, "What else do you have to say?" ”

After all, the soldiers were more upright, and a few officers reconsidered and said that it was inappropriate, but more of them were indifferent.

Lian Zining got Kang Lu's advice, knowing that Zhang Yanchang had made up his mind and it was useless to persuade him, so he naturally kept silent.

Sure enough, Zhang Yanchang waited for everyone to finish speaking, and then said in a deep voice: "You don't need to persuade more, the commander has made up his mind, and he will obey the order!" ”

Zhao Maxiang wanted to say something, but was dragged back to the queue by several colleagues covering his mouth, Zhang Yanchang glanced at him, obviously very dissatisfied.

Lian Zining said in his heart, what a hard time this is, the persuasion failed, but he was hated by the coach, this Zhao Tongzhi is afraid that he will not have a good time in the future.

Zhang Yanchang said: "Spread the law of Kang. ”

The guards beside him said loudly: "Spread Kanglu!" ”

Ten paces apart, a soldier continued: "Spread the law of Kang! ”

The sound was endless, and it was passed down layer by layer.

There were thousands of guards around him, and there were several floors behind him, and there were also several floors behind the generals, crowding a spacious big tent like a big hall, and it spread out of the big tent, and at a glance, it was a sea of soldiers! The words passed layer by layer, and the sound became louder and louder, and when they arrived at the door of the tent, dozens of people shouted in unison, which was already like thunder, and everyone was so shocked that their ears hurt.

Everyone was shocked and changed color, only then did they know what was the authoritative pomp of the first-class marshal of the country!

Kang Lu waited outside the tent, and after a while, he strode in, knelt down on one knee, and said, "Please command!" ”

"Ben Shuai ordered you to take five hundred cavalry and go to pursue the white-robed rebels!"

"The last general obeys!"

"Good! Go ahead! Zhang Yanchang waved his hand.

As soon as Kang Lu stood up, Lian Zining came out and said: "My lord, the last general Guan and these personal guards are of course extremely elite, but the people are heavily armoured, and the horses also have vests, so the speed is quite insufficient, and they are not as good as the white-robed army!" Even if they catch up, the white-robed army will leave as soon as they get wet, and they will not confront us head-on, and if we want to withdraw, he will come to disturb us again. This will inevitably cause damage, there is a scout camp under the command of the last general, and the riding skills are also calculated, they are all equipped with five thunder god machines, which can shoot fifty steps away, and they are willing to go out fifty, follow the adults! ”

Zhang Yanchang thought he was going to advise at first, but his brows immediately furrowed, and when he heard this, he stroked his palms and smiled: "Okay, General Lian has a heart." ”

Lian Zining's statement, the other generals also had to mean it, so they stepped forward one after another, this one out of two hundred, that one out of three hundred, make up a job, and finally make up 1,500 cavalry, including 500 batches of heavily armored Zhang Yanchang personal guards, fifty dragon lancers, and the other nine hundred and fifty, all of which are elite wearing cotton armor, fast, and able to use strong bows.

When he learned from Kang Lu that there were no more than a thousand casualties in the white-robed army's attack on the camp this time, and only two or three hundred were killed by the white-robed army, Lian Zining knew that although the white-robed army attacked the camp this time, although the momentum was great, the number was definitely not much, at most a thousand! If there are a lot of people, I am afraid that they can take advantage of the chaos to directly penetrate the Chinese army. With such a little cavalry, it is obvious that the other party's purpose is to harass the main, and if you can get a vote, you can get a vote. Now they must have fled far away, and it was probably in vain to go out this time, so Lian Zining was relieved to hand over the fifty dragon lancers. Anyway, there is no danger, and it is good to sell Zhang Yanchang a good, why not?

After a while, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves was far away, and Zhang Yanchang also ordered each to return to the camp, organize the team, and pacify the soldiers.

At this time, the sky was still dark, and a trace of fish belly white was revealed on the horizon.

The other garrisons were busy with the ashes of the fire, redistributing tents, preparing coffins for the robes of the dead in battle, or holding cremations. Only Wu Yijun's side was quiet, and when Lian Zining came back, the tent had already been re-erected, and as soon as he gave an order, the soldiers who had been tossing for half the night went back to make up for sleep.

In the huge camp, only the sound of snoring was heard, and the officers and soldiers of the other guards were envious, and they could only rely on their own superiors to have no ability.

Lian Zining naturally went back to lie down, and slept in the dark until he was woken up by the sound of horses' hooves.

"What time is it?" Lian Zining yawned and asked lazily.

"If you go back to your lordship, it's already noon." The soldier outside the tent replied.

"I woke up naturally from a sleep, so comfortable!" Lian Zining stretched his waist and turned over, but he lay on the bed but didn't want to get up. At this time, I found a little shadow of the decaying college life in my previous life, and slept until I woke up naturally, sleeping softly, with no strength at all, and I just didn't want to move.

"But it doesn't work!" Lian Zining smiled bitterly, turned over and stood up, and asked, "But the pursuing cavalry is back?" ”

"Yes, sir!"

After sleeping for so long, Lian Zining felt a burst of hunger in his belly, and said, "Go and tell Wang Dachun to clean up a few small dishes for Ben General, and make it lighter." ”

Sure enough, as Lian Zining expected, this attack was completely futile, and he chased out for more than 200 miles without catching a single hair, and seeing that the front was not far from the area controlled by the white-robed army, Kang Lu had no choice but to order to return.

After hearing the news, Lian Zining just smiled faintly.

It's just that Yang Husheng brought him a big surprise.

In the battle of Renqiu, Yang Husheng's excellent performance made Lian Zining remember him, and then he consciously wanted to put a burden on him, this time leading fifty dragoons to pursue, it was he who led the team.

When Yang Hu was born, Lian Zining was eating.

Four side dishes: vegetarian fried matsutake mushroom, oily wheat cabbage, steamed fish, peanuts, and a delicate vegetarian chicken produced by Dahuayan Temple in Beijing, the aroma is attractive, but it is not greasy or oily, and Lian Zining, who has been hungry for a long time, eats with relish.

He beckoned the Kang sisters to come and eat together, but he didn't expect that Kang Su's concept of superiority and inferiority was extremely important, and he refused to agree, just waited on the side. Lian Zining didn't force it, and ordered the kitchen to make a few home-cooked dishes from the north, and send them to him after eating later.

It's impossible to let the girls eat their own leftovers.

Yang Husheng asked to see him, but Lian Zining didn't care, but he didn't expect that there were two people who came in.

In addition to Yang Husheng, there is also a tall man, his face is full of unruliness and indifference, and his whole body seems to be full of energy.

The problem is not here, the problem is that this person, Lian Zining has clearly seen it in Zhang Geng's caravan at the beginning! Lian Zining has an excellent memory, when Zhang Geng greeted him, this person was standing next to him, and he was obviously very trusted!

Lian Zining waved his hand, and the Kangsu sisters retreated obediently.

Yang Husheng said: "My lord, this person was met on the road, he said yes, it is a person over there, he wants to meet the adult, there is something important to discuss!" ”

Lian Zining nodded: "Can anyone else see it?" ”

"Mark the dare to pack the ticket, absolutely not!" Yang Husheng said in a deep voice.

Lian Zining waved his hand: "You go down first!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

"What did Zhang Geng send you for?" After Yang Husheng went out, Lian Zining stared at the man and asked lightly.

"My lord is really bold, in a word." The man grinned widely, and said nonchalantly: "My lord, don't be nervous, I'm just a messenger." ”

Lian Zining laughed: "You entered the camp alone, and there are thousands of people around you, which is one-on-one, and you are not the opponent of this general, where are you afraid?" ”

The man was angry by him, but he didn't show it, just smiled and said: "In the future, when you fight against adults, you still have to learn and learn." ”

"There will be this opportunity." Lian Zining turned around and walked to the side of Xiao Ji and sat down, poured himself a glass of good chilled bamboo leaf green, picked up the wine glass and took a sip of it gently, and took a sip of the fried brown and lovely matsutake mushrooms, pointed to himself and said, "You're welcome, sit down!" ”

The man sat down according to his words, thinking that Lian Zining was going to talk to him, but he didn't expect Lian Zining to ignore him at all, and just eat by himself.

This man was dissatisfied, but he also secretly sighed that this Lord Lian was calm.

After drinking and eating enough, and the other party had enough time to dry a cup of tea, Lian Zining burped, wiped his mouth with a silk scarf, and said, "I haven't asked Your Excellency for your name." ”

"Under Xiong Tingbi!" The man had a big grin temperament that no one was afraid of, although he was in Lian Zining's barracks, his face was as usual, and he said with a smile: "It's just a rural contemptible, and if you say it, I'm afraid of polluting the ears of adults." ”

"What? Xiong Tingbi? Lian Zining was violently shaken, his heart was shocked, his body couldn't stop a violent tremble, and it took a lot of effort to suppress this strange and violent emotion, staring at Xiong Tingbi deadly, and said word by word: "You, is it really Xiong Tingbi?" ”

Xiong Tingbi was surprised: "Can this be fake?" That's the name that came from birth. ”

"Are you from Jiangxia?" Lian Zining asked again.

"Huh? How do adults know? This time it was Xiong Tingbi's turn to be surprised.

"Fifteen-year-old Xiucai?" Lian Zining asked again.

Xiong Tingbi thought for a moment and said angrily: "My lord must have already investigated our bottom line in detail, since this is the case, why tease me like this?" ”

Lian Zining closed his eyes and took a deep breath, but his heart was still full of incredible, and he couldn't help but feel extremely ridiculous and unreal.

Jiangxia people, fifteen-year-old Xiucai, the township is thought to be a prodigy, the words are elegant, and the martial arts are excellent, both civil and military. Xiong Tingbi can be called a wonderful flower that bloomed in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, and in the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, he wrote a brilliant stroke. This man is both humanistic and martial, Kaowen is a Wen Jinshi, Kao Wu is a martial champion, and he has a great strategy in his heart, governing Liaodong for many years, building fortresses, hoarding grain and grass, and training soldiers, so that the Jurchens can not advance an inch, and clean up a mess left by his predecessor Yang Hao in an orderly manner. Such a rebellious character, but in the end, he died in the party struggle of the imperial court, and after his death, he was also passed on to the first nine sides, which was unspeakably miserable, which really made people sigh.

Lian Zining said silently in his heart, Jiangxia people, also known as this name, and a fifteen-year-old Xiucai, presumably that Xiong Tingbi in history will not be wrong.

But Lian Zining never thought that such a famous handsome in history, Liaodong Jingluo, would stand in front of him, full of laughter.

This is 50 years of Zhengde! Even if you go back according to the real history, it is the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing at this time, and Xiong Tingbi is a figure in the period of the Apocalypse Chongzhen!

After all, Lian Zining was determined, and there was already a Kou Baimen in front of him, so after a while, he also eased up.

Xiong Tingbi is Xiong Tingbi, so what?

"Xiong Tingbi is right, he would have lost his temper." Lian Zining said lightly: "Although the general knows a little about everyone in your department, he doesn't know the details, since you are from Jiangxia and you are a talented and famous, why are you here and willing to be a thief?" ”

Knowing Xiong Tingbi's identity, Lian Zining did not change his attitude, even if he was Xiong Tingbi, no matter how amazing and brilliant he was, it couldn't change the current status comparison between the two sides - I am an official, you are a bandit, at most you are a stunningly talented bandit.

"Well, it doesn't hurt to tell you." Xiong Tingbi said: "I am a native of Jiangxia, and I am a talent in Zhengde for forty-one years, and before I participated in the county examination that year, my name was already famous in the countryside. It's just that the county respected the bribe from others, but after the exam, he took that person as the first. I know that person very well, but he is just a straw bag, how can he put pressure on my head? At that time, he was also young, and he didn't know what was at stake, so he preached it everywhere, and the county respected it, but there was no evidence, so he couldn't do it. In the forty-fifth year of Zhengde, I participated in the government examination, at this time the county was already the prefect, and when the government examination, he designed to frame me and accuse me of cheating, and immediately dismissed my reputation! Not only that, but after a few days, he also found a reason to put me in prison for punishment! ”

"I was beaten half to death, thrown home, there is no way to enter the earth, the old mother died of grief, the wife was molested by the official, but the dignified man was powerless to stop it, the hatred in my heart is monstrous! If it weren't for the big leader who saved me, I'm afraid that there would be no Xiong Tingbi in the world now! Speaking of this, his expression was already full of anger, and he sneered: "The government harms me, and the traitor lives me, why do you say I want to be a thief?" ”

At this time, his face was already hideous, his forehead was bruised, and he was obviously extremely angry.

After hearing this, Lian Zining could only sigh speechlessly.

Twisted his brows and said, "There is no need to say this, let's say, Zhang Geng sent you, what is the matter?" ”

After all, it is a person at the level of the future against the sky, although he is still young, but he has already shown his extraordinary, Xiong Tingbi quickly controlled his emotions and said: "The big leader sent me here to cooperate with adults!" ”

"Cooperation?" Lian Zining's heart suddenly jumped up, and he said quietly: "Let's talk about it!" ”

"A few days ago, my lord went south and was attacked on Renqiu Road, why is our army's intelligence so accurate, and my lord is so alert, I should have some scheming in my heart, right?" Xiong Tingbi asked.

Lian Zining nodded: "I know this very well. ”

Xiong Tingbi smiled: "Wang Qianhu, the vanguard of the government army, sent a messenger to our military camp five days ago, and informed the Wuyi army of the action route, when and where it should go, and inform them together. That's why our army found Wu Yijun so accurately. ”

He sighed: "I originally thought that 4,000 elite cavalry against 2,000 foot soldiers would be a sure victory, but I didn't expect that the Wu Yi Army was so elite, and our army suffered countless losses. ”

Lian Zining said indifferently: "If this official is you, you will also be full of confidence." ”

Xiong Tingbi said: "Wang Qianhu is so calculating, you must hate him to the core, right?" ”

Lian Zining just said one word: "Say!" ”

"I'm here to discuss this matter with adults." Xiong Tingbi said: "You and my two armies, not to mention that there will be a big war, when the time comes, our army will mainly attack the avant-garde of the government army, with the impact ability of our army, those old soldiers of the avant-garde of the government army do not have such a strict phalanx as the Wu Yi army, and then it will naturally be rushed into chaos!" ”

He gently lifted his eyelids and said in a low voice: "When the time comes, the soldiers will be in chaos, and if one is not careful, who knows who will die in whose hands?" You officials can do this kind of thing, but it's very smooth! ”

Lian Zining's heart beat violently and irrepressibly, and he realized that this was a golden opportunity for him!

Wang Qianhu eats and lives in the army, and the guards around him are always waiting, and it will not work at all if he wants to assassinate him. People are also their heels, and people are also shrewd, although they secretly calculate, they don't let people catch the handle, and they are not afraid of frontal impeachment! In this way, it seems that it is the appearance of a hob meat that cannot be provoked.

But on the contrary, this person is Lian Zining must be killed, and he must be killed as soon as possible, otherwise, with him constantly making tricks by his side, I don't know what to do.

(To be continued)
