Early in the morning, Xu Xun was awakened by a knock on the door. Although he used to have some problems with the bed, but these days after tossing, he has already become upside down to sleep, this time he woke up and turned over and went to the ground, he pulled his shoes and walked to the door, and saw that it was a young soldier who was a personal soldier, he opened his mouth and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Tanma, there are Tanma coming back from the north!"

Xu Xun, who was still a little sleepy-eyed, immediately felt sleepy, and immediately ordered: "Bring people in, I'll be there in a while!" ”

However, when Xu Xun arrived in the cold conference hall in full costume, he was suddenly a little stunned when he saw the scarred face that looked like he was full of gangsterism. Although the scouts sent out before were not the avant-garde people of the government army, they were all transferred one by one after he saw them, and he clearly didn't remember the person in front of him at this time. And when he saw this scarred face giving a military salute very unskillfully, he became even more vigilant, and frowned and looked at Zhang Jun.

"He is holding the waist card of Qianning, the avant-garde of the government army."

Hearing this explanation, Xu Xun was relieved, but he was stunned in an instant. Qian Ning is not a native of Xuanfu, and he only sent him to Wanquanyou Acropolis to inquire about the news before, how can he become a Tanma now? Although his heart was full of doubts, in front of this scarred face, he couldn't put this doubt on his face, and immediately asked, "What did Qian Ning ask you to report?" ”

Although the scarface was quite famous in the Wanquan Right Acropolis, at this time, the people sitting in this room were all people he didn't dare to think of, and he was a little nervous for a while. Seeing that Xu Xun was quite pleasant, he calmed down a little, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and saluted, but he stammered a little at first.

"Returning to the Great ...... My lord, Qian Ye took us people from the Wanquan Right Acropolis, found the old firewood who had been a guide for the caravan, pretended to be the Mongolian ancestors and grandchildren who were grazing, and took us all the way to Xinghe. After hanging around there for several days, we met several groups of herdsmen, and actually found out that there were people from the Guoerlus tribe stationed in Shacheng, further north of Xinghe, saying that there were also Xuanfu soldiers and civilians who had been taken captive. Because further north is Shacheng, Qian Ye and Lao Firewood drove the sheep over, leaving seven or eight people to answer in Xinghe Abandoned City, and sent a few of us back to report the news first. ”

This Channing, what a guts!

Xu Xun took a deep breath, and when he saw that everyone else in the seat was looking at him with admiration, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. It's just that the matter has come to this point, of course he will not pursue Qian Ning's self-assertion anymore, and he looked at the scarred face and asked: "You said that Qian Ning summoned you in the Wanquan Right Acropolis, but you all have military status, where is the military status?" What did Channing say to you? ”

"The small one is the military surplus of the right guard, the eldest brother in the family is now eating money and food, and the small one is the old man, who has been idle, this time the right staff general Chen asked Qian Ye to pick someone, and the small one was selected." The scarface thought of Qian Ning's promise, and couldn't help but lick his lips again, "Qian Ye said that as long as you dare to follow him to find out the whereabouts of the Tartar, you will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver first, and another hundred taels of silver after the matter is completed." As for the old firewood, the deposit was given to him fifty taels, and when the deed was done, it was five hundred taels. ”

Speaking of this, he was a little resentful of the old guy's generous treatment, and couldn't help but pour out the words in his heart: "Master Qian also looks up to him, and wants me to say that since he has already detained the grandson of the old thing, he dares to disobey his orders and give him so much silver!" As soon as the words came out, he realized that he had actually stabbed out Qian Ning's disgraceful methods, remembering the ruthlessness of that master when he cleaned up people, he couldn't help but be shocked for a while, and hurriedly remedied, "However, Qian Ye has always been very polite to that old firewood......

"You don't have to say it."

If it is changed to normal times, Xu Xun will inevitably be angry, but now at this very moment, Qian Ning even dares to do such a thing as violating the military order and pulling up the tiger skin to make a banner, let alone blackmailing people. Therefore, after interrupting Scarface, he said: "In this case, from today onwards, you will be assigned to the vanguard of the government army, and I will naturally transfer your military status at that time." I don't care what you people used to do, you have to follow my rules when you turn around. As long as you can enforce the ban, you don't have to worry about all kinds of military salaries, clothing, and food, and the rewards are even more generous. But if you dare to commit a crime with me, the punishment will be doubled! ”

If this is a heavy reward and punishment, the commanders of all armies will shout, but it is often a heavy punishment and a light reward. Qian Ning had preached to everyone the many benefits of the avant-garde of the government army before, so Xu Xun said this again, although the scarred face was in his heart, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Don't worry, my lord, as long as you send it, the little ones will obey the order!" ”

"Get up."

Zhang Yong looked at himself after seeing Xu Xun scream, so he coughed lightly and said, "I heard that you brought back a total of hundreds of sheep, and there are five heads?" ”

Seeing that the scarred face should be silent, Zhang Yong smiled and said: "These hundreds of sheep are supposed to be snatched back from the Tartars, and our family can make the decision on this matter, but these first-level cats are tired, don't think about fooling around like this." General Zhang and General Shen are both veterans for many years, and this trick is still understood. The express order of the imperial court is that the military households take back the cattle and sheep from the captives and return them to themselves, and if they are the people, they will be forty percent. You weren't in the army before, and according to the reward, seventy percent of these hundreds of sheep will be given to a few of you, and the rest will be ......."

He originally wanted to say that it would be paid into the treasury, but it could be seen that the scarred face was slightly angry, and after a meal, he said happily: "That's all there is to it, and there is no need to hand it over, the brothers of Zhangjiakou Fort plus the thousands of us will have a lot to eat and drink every day." Kill a hundred heads today, and let the top and bottom have a good meal of meat and a tooth sacrifice! With strength, it is good to fight! ”

Miao Kui also just learned that before Xu Xun asked for more than 200 Tanma from Zhang Jun, he had already sent Qian Ning, a thousand households with the avant-garde of the government army, out of the horse, and he was surprised, but also a little admired. At this moment, he heard that Zhang Yong actually intercepted these spoils that should have been disposed of by the general soldiers on the newspaper, and directly slaughtered the three armies, he couldn't help but look at this old Donggong attendant who was eyeing his position.

Looking at the combination of such two, and then thinking about Zhu Hui and himself, and then thinking of Wang Yue and Zhu Yong, who had been partners for a while, he couldn't help but feel a very unpleasant feeling. If it weren't for Zhu Hui's timidity, why would the first thing that people think of when they talk about the two of them is to falsely report their military exploits?

After sending the scarred face away, Xu Xun ordered someone to ask Luo Yuan, the commander of the Zhangjiakou Fort, to be guarded. This former chief official was in charge alone, but now everyone here is higher in rank than him, and he is full of apprehension when he enters. When he heard that it was the sheep slaughtering army, he immediately became full of energy, and when he heard Xu Xun ask that sentence, his face was not so good-looking.

"Many of our soldiers and horses suddenly appeared near Zhangjiakou Fort, will the Tartars detect it?"

Although Luo Yuan had the heart to pack the ticket and said no, but the facts were there, he stole a glance at Zhang Jun, the old boss, and squinted at the Ying, and then said after a while: "There are a lot of people over there who are fluent in Chinese now, and because they often climb the Great Wall to enter the customs, they are quite familiar with Xuanfu Town, plus Zhangjiakou Fort can't accommodate so many military horses, if you see the nearby camp, you should know that Zhangjiakou Fort has reinforcements now." ”

"I see, you can go down."

Seeing that Xu Xun had no intention of reproaching, Luo Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and after saluting, he withdrew from the house. Next, the people in the room said a few words, and then dispersed. However, as soon as Zhang Yongcai returned to the house, there was a knock on the door outside, and as soon as he opened the door and saw that it was Xu Xun, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and when he saw Liu Qing behind Xu Xun revealing his figure, he was even more puzzled. After letting the two of them into the house, he heard Xu Xun's words, and immediately showed a cautious expression for a while.

"Lao Zhang, Father-in-law Liu was invited by me. There's one thing I have to ask you two for. ”

Xuanfu is a military town, and the eunuchs don't seem to be as rich as the Huaiyang land in the south of the Yangtze River, but Liu Qing, the eunuch guarding the town, has also earned a lot of money over the years. However, now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, he took the path of the eunuch Li Rong, but Li Rong was already over eighty years old, and as soon as Zhang Yong recruited him, he immediately leaned over. originally thought that this trip would be able to make meritorious service for the crime, but when he entered the house and heard Xu Xun tell him about the plan, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide, and his heart was horrified.

This...... It's too daring!

Zhang Yong was also surprised, but he knew Xu Xun's surname very well, so he didn't bother to persuade at this time, tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying: "Liu Qing has been in Xuanfu for so long, plus me, this thing is still easy to do." But if you really want to do it, the risk is too great, not to mention, it's not that I said you, you are still half-baked in leading troops, and if you want to go out, I will never agree. ”

"What if you let the gods who know the terrain well lead the army?"

"Lian Po is old, can you still eat?" Zhang Yong said this instinctively, seeing that Xu Xun was noncommittal, he knew that the other party had made up his mind, and couldn't help but say helplessly, "Okay, I can't talk about you." If you're planning to gamble on the blade, I'll accompany you. But even so, Miao Kui ...... there"

"I'll say it myself."

As a eunuch of the Imperial Horse Eunuch, Miao Kui has long been accustomed to the uniform footsteps outside. At this moment, although it was not early, he had no intention of sleeping, and was still pacing back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. There was no cool breeze outside the wide open window, and the heat of the day in the room had not completely dissipated, and sweat was already faint behind his single clothes, but even so, his hurried and fast steps did not slow down. Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door, followed by someone calling Miao Gonggong, he was slightly stunned and heard who it was, and hurriedly stepped forward to open the door.

However, after letting people in, he only said two words of greeting, and Xu Xun's words made him silent all of a sudden.

"Gonggong Miao, if I can draw out the main force of the Tartars, you may let the Duke of Baoguo send a large army?"
