Shenying, who is fifty out of sixty, is probably the eldest among the generals who set out on this expedition.

Since Tianshun first attacked his father's position as the commander of Yan'anwei, he has repeatedly made meritorious contributions, all the way to the general army of Ningxia, and successively guarded Yansui, Xuanfu, and Datong, and was actually the governor of the four sides. If he hadn't taken advantage of the opening of the horse market in the eleventh year of Hongzhi to quietly violate trade with several Mongolian tribes in private, and made tens of thousands of dollars, he was found out that he didn't clean up his head and tail, and then he didn't send troops to rescue him when he plundered Ulzhou, so he was caught by the Yanguan, and he would not have been dismissed and idle for a while. However, he was finally good at activities, and after a short time, he gently planned a recovery, supervising the Guoyong battalion in the 12th regiment camp, and this is the second time to go out with Zhu Hui. Even so, whenever he thinks of the scenery of the old town guarding the four towns, he will always sigh and sigh.

Zhu Hui requisitioned the governor's yamen as his temporary commander-in-chief, and he, the left general, naturally would not wronged himself, so he chose the deputy commander-in-chief's mansion on the street opposite the sharpshooter. He is quite trusted by Zhu Hui, and his qualifications are old, so others will naturally not compete with him, and Bai Yu, the deputy chief soldier, is afraid that he will be masturbated with Zhang Jun, although he is reluctant, he can only vacate the main house for him. Sitting in the room at this time, he couldn't help but sigh when he thought of Xu Xun's hardness two days ago.

Think when he was young and vigorous, wasn't it like this? It's a pity that he didn't have a good old man, and he didn't have that opportunity, and the credit for decades of fighting was wiped out because of a little thing. He poured himself a drink while thinking about it, and after three or four cups of the strongest stuffed spring, he gradually became a little drunk, and at this time, a voice came from outside the door.

"My lord, there is a messenger from the capital."

The slightly drunk Shenying frowned angrily, thinking that everyone he met in the capital had come to Xuanfu together, and there were few good friends with the rest, so he couldn't help but be even more impatient: "Who sent it?" ”

The man said...... It is said that it is the bell and drum division Liu Gonggong. ”

As soon as he heard the words of Gonggong Liu of the Bell and Drum Division, Shenying jumped up suddenly, and the little bit of alcohol was immediately swept away. He and Liu Jin are just friends in the past month, and what he hopes is that Liu Jin can lead Zhu Houzhao to his Guoyong camp to see the training, and if he can look at the boys he brought out, maybe he will have the hope of soaring. At this time, he hurriedly ordered to bring people in, and he immediately called his own soldiers to clean up the wine cups and wine jugs, etc., and finally he was even more afraid that the situation in this room would be seen and reported to Liu Jin, so the surname Suo personally welcomed in. When he came out of the courtyard, he saw a man with triangular eyes walking quickly with one of his own soldiers, and he hurried forward a few steps.

"It's a hot day, and you've had a hard time."

"Gong Liu is sent, so naturally he doesn't dare to slack off." The triangular-eyed man seemed to kneel, but when he saw Shenying, he immediately stretched out his hand to help, where would he be reluctant, so he straightened up, but took out a letter sealed with mud from his arms and handed it over, and said, "Gonggong Liu has ordered, after General Shen has read it, please give me a palindrome or receipt, and I will go back to recover my life." ”

"Good, good."

When Shenying received the letter, he was relieved, so he ordered the soldier to take the person down to entertain him, while he hurried back to the house with the letter. He didn't have to use a paper cutter like those civil officials, and he directly tore the envelope with three strokes and five by two, and took out the letter inside to take a look. Knowing that Liu Jin didn't know a few big characters, he usually asked others to catch knives, so he first looked at the small seal on the back side, and confirmed that he had only read the text, and then his brows gradually twisted into a knot.

Liu Jin didn't say anything else in the letter, just asked him to do his best to help Xu Xun, and when he got the thing done, he would definitely ask for a reward for him in front of the palace at that time. If this letter had come a few days ago, he would have thought it was a joke - after all, Zhu Hui's previous book was child's play, how could he have such a skill to help a kid who didn't know anything succeed? But seeing Xu Xun's performance in the first two days, he didn't feel a little moved.

In the capital, the Duguo Yong Camp seems to be a scenery, but what kind of place is it in the capital? The lords and nobles are crowded with bigwigs, and he is far from qualified to be powerful, where can he compare to the general soldiers of the town guard? Liu Jin is the most useful eunuch around the little emperor today, if he can help Xu Xun by the way, with the help of these two people, let alone reinstate the chief soldier, he is expected to be an earl!

Thinking of this, he immediately pinched the letter and went to the desk inside, and after grinding the ink himself, he tore a piece of paper, dipped the pen in thick ink, and began to write. Only he is used to holding a knife, this pole is really not very neat, each word is boxy, the smallest is the size of a copper coin, a small piece of paper can not write more than ten or twenty words at all, and it will be another one after writing in a moment. It took him three sheets of paper to convey his meaning, and after hanging the paper aside, he rubbed the thick gray beard on his chin and pondered. He didn't know how long it took before he heard a call from outside again.

"Adult ......"

"What's the matter? But the messenger is in a hurry to return and urge? ”

"Lord Huiyu, not the messenger. It was Qi Jiliang, the avant-garde of the government army, who came to visit, saying that there was something to ask for help. ”

Thinking of whatever he wants, Shenying has a feeling of drowsiness and someone sends a pillow. He immediately replied to the letter, and generously rewarded the messenger to send someone back, and immediately ordered the messenger to see Qi Jiliang. When he saw people, he found that the young man opposite was not yet fifteen, although he intended to dress up, but it was still difficult to hide the childishness on his face, and he was suddenly full of suspicion.

This Qi Jiliang didn't say that he was here to deliver a letter, could it be that Xu Xun would send such a young doll to discuss big things with him? Moreover, he has also heard of this son, the only son of the eldest princess Renhe, and the case of Zheng Wang is said to be related to this, and the avant-garde who can enter the palace army may be begged for by the eldest princess, how can it be Xu Xun's henchman?

Facing Shenying's scrutinizing gaze, Qi Jiliang couldn't help but be a little nervous. Although he said that he was respected wherever he walked in the capital, people respected his family background, and now in the army, those adults may not look at the face of his mother, the eldest princess. Thinking of Xu Xun's instructions before leaving, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then straightened his chest and said: "My lord sent a humble post to worship General Zuo, and said that he heard that General Zuo was in Ningxia Yansui Xuanfu Datong, and he knew the terrain on all sides, so he wanted to ask General Zuo with a map. ”

Ask about the terrain?

Shenying only felt that the second monk was confused, and when Qi Jiliang took out the map and unfolded it in front of him, his pupils couldn't help but shrink when he saw the several locations north of Yutai Ridge marked on it. Those places were the delivery routes taken by his own soldiers when he was forbidden to trade in the past, and the mountains and woods where several people and horses hid from the patrolling officers and soldiers, etc., and only he knew. At that moment, he almost thought that it was Jinyiwei or Xichang who investigated his past again, and he was furious for a moment.

However, before he could break out, Qi Jiliang said again: "My lord heard about the past from Xu Yanche of the hundred households, so let me ask my lord, is it possible for the captives to choose these places to hide?" ”

Is that what it means?

Shenying suddenly realized that he was old and confused, and he forgot that the second son of Xu Guangzuo, the Duke of Dingguo, served in front of Xu Xunjun. At this moment, he couldn't help but lean down and take a closer look at the dozen or so places, and pinched a few places with his fingernails, before straightening up and saying, "There are indeed those places north of Yutai Ridge that can be hidden, and these places are the most suspicious. If there are many captives, it is not impossible to disperse, but their scouts are first-class and powerful, rashly sentry into these places, not to mention the grass and snakes, and they will die in vain. ”

Qi Jiliang didn't know anything about this, but the son of the family had always been reserved, so he only bowed his head and said: "Thank you General Zuo for mentioning it, I will definitely tell my family after I go back." ”

Seeing that Qi Jiliang was about to leave with his hand arched, Shenying couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Is this the end of the business and leaving? That Xu Xun looks like a first-class shrewd person, how could he use such a stunned kid? What he said was an introduction, Qi Jiliang should humbly ask how to solve that problem, so he gave him some pointers, and after Qi Jiliang went back like this, it was naturally time for Xu Xun to come to the door in person to ask for advice. However, this designed drama was all ruined by this stupid boy!

Therefore, seeing that Qi Jiliang had arrived at the door, Shenying couldn't help but blurt out: "You wait!" The stakes are high, and you should take me to meet your lords! ”

Because Miao Kui intended to take care of him before, the avant-garde camp of the government army was very spacious, and Xu Xun occupied three rooms alone, the bright room for visitors, the east house for handling affairs, and the west house as a dormitory, all of which should be compared to ordinary large families, which is naturally rare in the army. However, with Zhu Hui, the Duke of Baoguo, and other generals who are now requisitioning everywhere to live in mansions, he is nothing. At the moment, he and Zhang Yong sat opposite each other, listening to Zhang Yong relay a lot of information he had heard from Liu Qing, the eunuch of Xuanfu Town, and the two of them were writing and painting around a picture, discussing two sentences from time to time. At this moment, a pro-soldier called in a low voice outside.

"My lord, Qi Baihu is back, and he is accompanied by Lord Zuo Shen."

"It's finally here!"

Xu Xun breathed a long sigh of relief, and when he saw Zhang Yong stretching out his slap over, he smiled and slapped people and said, "It's not in vain that I sent someone to hurry back to the capital overnight to deliver a letter to Lao Liu." Fortunately, you remember clearly, knowing that this Shenying is on the pole to slap Lao Liu, this Lao Liu's letter is more effective than my hard work, and at this time the person will immediately deliver it to the door in person! ”

"With him here, plus the will that will come in a day or two, Baoguo Gong just doesn't want you to go to the Wanquan Right Acropolis anymore, and there is no reason to object!" Zhang Yong smiled, then blinked his eyes and said, "The most important thing is that the two of us will jointly write a letter, so that Zhang Jun, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, and Liu Qing, the eunuch of the town, will go with me to make meritorious contributions, and the emperor will be able to pull the hearts of the old people of Xuanfu over immediately!" ”
