In the small room, the soybean-like light of an oil lamp was swaying up and down, driving the figures to dance with it. Xu Xun rubbed the bow that Emperor Hongzhi had given him and Wang Shouren before, and suddenly pulled the bowstring with all his might, and it took a long time to slowly reset it, and for a while he recalled the meaningful words of the old eunuch when he discussed with Miao Kui just now.

"It's going deep alone, it's dangerous, Lord Xu, you have to think about it."

Xu Xun laughed self-deprecatingly, put the bow back on the table, and took the cloth and carefully wiped the waist knife with a blade as bright as a puddle of water. However, even in the darkness, he could still hear his own heartbeat clearly, and there was not only fear in it, but even some irrepressible excitement in it.

If he really wants to mix up, he can just follow the back of Zhu Hui's ass, and it is expected that he will not really drive him into any dangerous Jedi, and maybe he will share some false credit. But he is eyeing the Chinese official, he has no outstanding qualifications and talents, if he can't seize this opportunity now, then others will only think that he is a fortunate courtier from beginning to end, and he wants to make a voice through himself, let alone recruit people to build his own team.

Compared with the empty glove white wolf's gamble in Jinling before, this time his bet is even bigger! But since he is out of the capital, there is no turning back from the bow, he can only let it go!

Thinking of this, Xu Xun suddenly lifted the quilt and got out of bed, went to the table and lit the oil lamp, found the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the luggage purse, and after grinding the ink, he pondered for a moment and wrote on the paper. Half an hour later, there were seven or eight more sheets of paper on the table. He waited until the ink was dry, then put them in an envelope and sealed them with ink, and then stamped them with his own personal seal, and then stuffed them under his pillow.

The next morning, when he got up early in the morning, Xu Xun summoned a young avant-garde army brought by the government army this time, and two letters instructed him to return to Beijing immediately to send Xing'an Bofu, and the other letter instructed him to send Liu Jin, and then called An Daniu to come in and asked him to send two people to escort the young army back to Beijing. After doing this, he went back to his room and sorted out his outfit.

When he appeared in front of Miao Kui and Zhang Jun Shenying, he was already dressed in military uniform, and he had everything in addition to his military robe. Seeing his situation, even if Zhang Jun already knew, he couldn't help but show a worried expression, while Miao Kui said bluntly: "Lord Xu really thought about it? Even if there are only more than 200 captives over there, we have carefully selected more than 1,000 people, and there is General Shen Shen leading the army, how can it be enough to eat people. But in this world, I am not afraid of 10,000, I am only afraid of what happens, there has been no news from the Xuanfu side so far, you really don't wait a day? ”

"After all, Shacheng is outside the second side, and it is extremely inconvenient to inquire about the news, and this back and forth has already delayed time, if it is delayed any longer, I am afraid that it will really be useless." Xu Xun paused for a moment, and then said casually, "This trip is all under the command of General Shen, I am the only one who looks to the horse, and I believe that General Shen, a veteran of the battlefield for many years, will definitely be able to succeed." ”

Shenying didn't hesitate to talk all night last night, but he had been fighting horses for half his life, and his wife and concubines had what they wanted, but he still wanted to earn a title, otherwise he could live as a rich man in the capital. The only thing he is afraid of is that Xu Xunren will follow, and he will have to point fingers at the command, and when the time comes, he will have to protect this one person if he has a lot of constraints, so it will really be a breath-holding battle. Therefore, when Xu Xun said these words at this moment, he breathed a sigh of relief, but also had to be humble for a few words, and finally agreed without giving up. And Zhang Jun wanted to go with him, but his foot injury had not healed, and he was still able to ride a horse, but he couldn't gallop, so he could only tell him a thousand times, and there were always some ups and downs in his heart.

I only wanted a quick victory, so I picked all the cavalry, one hundred avant-garde soldiers of the government army, five hundred old soldiers of the Xuanfu avant-garde, and five hundred of Shenying's Guoyong battalion, and only brought three days of dry food, which can be regarded as a real light battle. Only more than half of them were soldiers of the Beijing battalion, and they had basically never experienced a real war before, so when they were preparing to set off with their horses at this time, many people's faces were a little gloomy. When the top was called one by one, the bottom was slightly scratched.

What is this personal name, is it afraid that they will secretly escape in the face of battle?

Because of the full thousand people, these names were pronounced for a full two quarters of an hour. Just after the roll call was completed, Xu Xun took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "These people who just read their names are all warriors who rushed to Sand City this time. Regardless of whether there is a catch here, the military salary will be rewarded with three taels. If there is a recapture of livestock this time, all of them will be used as rewards, and the captives and civilians will be recaptured, and one tael of silver will be given to each person, and these are all the shares of everyone who is named today. In addition, those who behead the first rank will be given thirty taels of silver, and the reward for the capture of the horses will be used for their own use, and if there is any other gain, all of them will be for themselves, and I will not take any of them, whether it is the God General! ”

This was something he had already discussed with Miao Kui and the others, but the soldiers below didn't know about it. Hearing this, whether it was the avant-garde of the government army, or the Guoyong battalion, or even the vanguard soldiers and horses of the Xuanfu who had only suffered a defeat, they were all excited for a while, and some even boldly shouted that this was true. However, Xu Xun did not answer this question, but said word by word: "In addition, the reward will never be folded, and all silver will be found!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was really excited. The military salary of the imperial court has always been white rice plus discounted money, and occasionally there will be a lot of messy things that are not used, and occasionally some rewards are said to be cash silver, but in the hands of the next sergeant, Shangguan deducts more than one, and it is still good for cash silver to become white rice and white noodles. All kinds of clamor began to rise and fall with these words, which were nothing more than questioning the truth of these words. Faced with this chaotic scene, Xu Xun didn't explain at all, and the hundred sergeants who belonged to the avant-garde of the government army preached to the people around them.

"Our adults have always been talkative! It has been less than a month since we entered the vanguard of the government army, but the emperor ascended the throne to reward his personal guards, and we all got all of them, and we didn't miss a penny! ”

"If it weren't for the fact that those young soldiers haven't practiced their martial arts yet, they would definitely be screaming to go. Tsk, I think it was a practice in front of the first emperor back then, how many benefits they got one by one, and none of the adults deducted it! ”

"Follow us adults, you definitely don't have to worry about benefits!"

For these soldiers of the 12th Regiment who had been under the command of the vanguard of his own army for less than a month, Xu Xun not only let them experience those irritable trainings, but also made them experience extraordinary benefits, so they became real propaganda machines at this time. And after these word-of-mouth persuasions, Xu Xun slapped his face lightly again, and behind him was the four young soldiers who struggled to carry a box out. When the box hit the ground, he went up and lifted the lid, and there was another exclamation for a while.

"The three taels of silver per person that I said before will be sent down now, and as for the rest of the rewards, it depends on how much ability you have to receive them!"

When a person was contented with the silver, Xu Xun could clearly see that the initial gloom on their faces was gone, replaced by an unconcealable excitement and murderous aura. Although this was inspired by Bai Huahua's cash, he didn't feel much frustration, only glanced at Shenying, took a step back and gave up the place to the veteran. And Shenying also knew that morale was available, and he had been trained in a few words, and it was a foul word or two that he hadn't said for many years, which naturally stirred up the atmosphere.

When more than 1,000 people got on their horses and galloped out one by one, Miao Kui and Zhang Jun, who came to send them today, did not move their nests, but stood there and watched for a while, and then they both turned around, and they took a look left and right without paying attention. Miao Kui glanced at Zhang Jun's injured foot without a trace, and then Shi Shiran said: "If it weren't for Mr. Zhang's foot injury that has not healed, you will be indispensable this time." It's just that we're not just idle, and with such a big movement, the Tartars won't be able to detect it, so we have to make some preparations. In addition, I have to help General Shen and Lord Xu prepare some reinforcements. ”

"Reinforcements?" Zhang Jun's heart instinctively tightened, "What does Grandpa Miao mean?" ”

"Although General Zhang said that he was defeated, he had also fought with the captives with one force, and he would never think that the army would be soaked in Xuanfu and Wanquangan waiting for money and food to be wasted. Eleven years after Hongzhi, the horse market was closed as soon as it opened, coupled with the fact that the imperial court repeatedly strictly banned trade to the north, and the little prince was planning to put all 60,000 households on the left and right wings under the court of Chahar Khan, if he knew that Xu Xun, a favored minister of the Son of Heaven, actually ventured to Shacheng in person, what do you think would have happened? ”

After Zhang Jun was stunned at first, he suddenly realized, and his face suddenly turned pale. After glaring at Miao Kui for a while, he said in a hoarse voice: "It's strange that the Miao Guild left a safe place like Xuanfu and followed it all the way, it turned out that there was such a plan!" Lord Xu is a believer of the Son of Heaven, if you dare to use him as bait, you are not afraid......"

"Afraid that the emperor will blame him?" Miao Kui smiled, and directly finished speaking for Zhang Jun, and then narrowed his eyes, "Baoguo Gong, our family knows best, being cautious is not the material of a general, and he will not send troops easily." In this case, he lured out the army of captives, and Xu Xun was also among them, did he dare to continue to move? This is Xu Xun's idea, he has such a great courage at a young age, our family admires him, so of course this time I will help him make this plan come true! ”

Zhang Jun, who was standing there, couldn't help but gasp. This was not Miao Kui's selfishness, but Xu Xun's idea!

Horror is horror, but Zhang Jun has brought a lifetime of soldiers, and soon understood that the wood was already in the boat, so he gritted his teeth and asked for his surname: "It's now, Gonggong Miao commands." As long as I can do it, I will never give up! ”

"Mr. Zhang is not afraid of our family's personal vendettas?" Miao Kui couldn't help laughing when he saw Zhang Juntie's face turned blue and he didn't speak, "Okay, if you have such an awareness, then our family has nothing to worry about." Where did you say Zhang Yong and Liu Qing? Zhang Yong and Liu Qing went to Datong! Now all the remaining people are left in Zhangjiakou Fort, under your control, our family will bring a hundred soldiers, and we will go to the Acropolis! If you really lure out the Tartar army and other reinforcements can't catch it, then Chen Xiong of the right acropolis will have to go up first! ”
