Although the prince and the prince seem to be only one level apart, there are several princes in the Ming Dynasty, but there are at least hundreds of county kings, whether it is the palace or the etiquette system, all of them cannot be compared with the prince. Therefore, although it is also in Ningxia City, there are only 100 rooms in the Anhua Palace, which is far less than the grand momentum of the Qingwang Mansion to open four doors to build a palace. On weekdays, Zhu Ningxiao has always complained about this, but at this moment, when he learned the sudden news, the anger in his heart was not to mention.

"What are you talking about, Xu Xun dared to borrow guards from Zhu Taixun, and Zhu Taixun actually lent him all the more than 1,000 people who were the most elite?"

Seeing that Zhu Ningxiao's face was pale, he actually called King Qing's name, as if it would explode anytime and anywhere, the steward of King Qing's Mansion who came to report could only bury his head deeply, and said in a low voice: "After Xu Xun and Yang Yiqing came together, they went to the study with His Royal Highness King Qing, because there was a henchman of Pingbeibo at the door, so no one knew how he talked about His Royal Highness King Qing. Later, Lu Hai and others were summoned to the Guandi Temple, and later came back and gathered all the more than 1,000 guards, and now they are stationed in the school yard of the General Military Mansion in the south of the Guandi Temple. Because of the heavy guards, idlers are not allowed to trespass. ”

"Fuck it!"

Zhu Ningxiao scolded a swear word for the first time, and then shouted angrily: "Go and investigate again, you must find out what this Xu Xun wants to do!" Wait, isn't Ding Guang the thousand households who are guarded by King Qing? Sending people to do everything possible to contact him, as well as others, let the people below make trouble, how could Xu Xun easily pull such a team of people from an outsider! ”

"Yes yes yes ......"

Seeing that the steward hurriedly retreated after agreeing, Zhu Ningyan stood up and asked in a deep voice at Zhou Ang and He Jin, who had just rushed over: "You say, did Xu Xun have heard any news?" He had already ordered the Ningxia avant-garde and the left and right Zhongtun guards to prepare for war, and now they borrowed the guards of King Qing, but the Tartars had no news at all. He's not a three-year-old. It will not be easy to make a noise, will it be for me? ”

As soon as this remark came out. Zhou Ang and He Jin immediately looked at each other. However. They had already gotten on Zhu Ningxiao's boat, but now it was too late to go down, so Zhou Ang, who was of high grade, immediately smiled and said: "Don't worry about the king of the county, I don't think Xu Xun is because of any movement here." But there happened to be a war, so the Qing Wangzhong guards were dispatched. He was able to gain a foothold in the court. It's all because of the defeat that the Xuanfu army fought in Yutailing, and then he had the courage to come to a surprise attack, so he tasted the sweetness. Previously, after he returned from Zhenyuan Pass, he convened several leaders of the General Military Mansion to discuss the matter. I heard that it was the prisoners who had previously committed Guyuan who had crossed the river and entered the trap. ”

Zhu Ningxiao's face looked a little better. After sitting down on the armrest, he patted the handrail indignantly and said: "As soon as this person came, he made the chickens and dogs jump in Ningxia Town, and people's hearts floated, what a disaster!" I heard that he didn't stay at all in Xuanfu Datong, even in Yansui Town for two days, why did he have to stay in a shabby place like Ningxia and not leave. Maybe even the Tartars are coming for him! Zhu Taixun is really dizzy, I'm going to see him! ”

Knowing this King of Anhua is because Xu Xun's repeated actions are tantamount to digging into the wall. Therefore, he couldn't swallow this breath, so Zhou Ang and He Jin didn't rashly open their mouths to persuade him, and Zhou Ang even smiled and said: "Since that's the case, Your Highness will go to Qingwang's Mansion, and He Jin and I will go to the General Soldier's Mansion to have a look, and by the way, inquire about the news of the school." Jiang Han has always trusted me, and he won't hide anything from me. ”

When he got out of the Anhua Palace, He Jin couldn't help but pull Zhou Ang's sleeve and said, "Brother Zhou, what you just said in front of His Highness are you really sure?" Didn't Xu Xun transfer all the elite of the guards in King Qing because he heard some rumors? You know, he has made a lot of trouble this time, and it has almost always been the topic of our soldiers in Ningxia Town. And I heard that the old Shangshu of the court and the central government had fallen, and he also contributed a lot, if he really ...... "...,

"Say no more!" Zhou Ang interrupted He Jin's words, looked left and right, and said in a deep voice, "So far, what are you talking about?" I knew that today, I was just a person to eat idle in the Anhua Palace, but you must know that when Wang Jiu'er was carrying a parrot to swagger and deceive, you and I were silent! Xu Xun is not three-headed and six-armed, this is Ningxia, not the capital, he can't know everything, even if it is Jinyiwei, on one acre and three points of land on the three sides of Shaanxi, he has to walk with his legs between his legs, and he doesn't dare to make mistakes, he doesn't want to find out what news through Jinyiwei! All in all, don't talk nonsense, go to the General Military Mansion first, and then go to the school to see what is going on, maybe you will know what Xu Xun is doing! ”

However, Zhou Ang and He Jin hurried to the General Soldier's Mansion, but they were in vain, because the Chief Soldier Jiang Han and the upper and lower people were not there at all, and everyone went to the Daxiao Field to the east of the General Soldier's Mansion. So, the two of them didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly turned on the other side again, but when they saw the burning pine resin torches from a distance, they were stopped by a group of heavily armed sergeants.

"Who?"

"I am the commander of Zhou Ang, and I have something to ask to see General Jiang."

Are all commanders?

Today is Cao Qian was ordered to personally block the surroundings of the school, at this moment when he heard the word Zhou Ang, his pupils suddenly contracted, and then said with a smile: "It turned out to be Lord Zhou, if it was usual, the humble position would definitely not dare to stop it, but today Pingbei Bo and the adults of the General Military Mansion have important things to do, and before the end, idle people are not allowed to enter." ”

He Jin was running back and forth today, and he had already had a belly of fire in his heart, and when he heard this, he suddenly exploded: "You mean that we are idle people?" ”

Zhou Ang hurriedly stopped He Jin, and looked at the officer opposite him by the light of the torch, he suddenly felt that his face was very raw, and his heart couldn't help but move, and he hurriedly bowed his hand politely, but he pulled He Jin to turn his head and leave. It wasn't until he had already walked far away that He Jin broke free of him angrily, and he turned his head and glanced at the group again, and found that the other party was actually guarding the intersection, clearly not letting anyone pass through here.

"Brother Zhou!"

Zhou Ang came back to his senses at this time, and when he saw He Jin's face full of annoyance, he said in a low voice: "Everyone in the General Military Mansion knows me, and there will definitely be no such an ignorant boy." Looking at his age and clothes, he is one of the two brothers of the Cao family next to Xu Xun. To say that Cao Xiong is also a hero, the two sons were all sent to follow the saddle before and after the horse. Otherwise, he can easily become the chief soldier? ”

He Jin didn't have time to think about Cao Xiong, and only thought about whether they were really being targeted. Interrupted Zhou Ang's words impatiently at the moment: "Then what should we do now?" ”

"Let's wait and see what happens. Jiang Han will not always come out, as long as he sees him, it is very easy to talk to him! Seeing this situation, His Royal Highness the King of Anhua said that he would go in and deliver the message to the soldiers below. I'm afraid it's not that easy. ”

As night fell, pine resin torches burned on the colonel's field. The blazing light of the fire reflected on the faces of doubt, indifference, or fear, bringing an even more unsettling atmosphere. However, Xu Xun did not give a clear word. But those soldiers were all trained by Lu Hai and others. With these chief officers to suppress and appease, coupled with Xu Xun's promotion of talents from the army these times, plus the punishment of several officers who were notorious in the past, nothing happened. Even so, Jiang Han and several other officers standing on the side of the school field still had heavy faces when Yang Yiqing walked over quickly. Jiang Han immediately stepped forward quickly.

"Lord Yang, is Uncle Pingbei really going out of the city overnight?"

"Three teams were sent out to scout the horses. Only two teams came back, which shows that the captives have indeed moved. I have already ordered all parts of the country to guard, and now I rushed to the Xingwu camp overnight, and Pingbeibo took this group of military horses out of the city, which could be attacked and retreated, and was pulled out overnight, so as not to leak the news. Speaking of this, Yang Yiqing said in a deep voice, "Except for Ping Beibo, I have only mentioned this matter to you, and the words are not in the ears of the fourth person." If someone asks, you just say that there is an enemy situation in Zhenyuanguan and the Black Mountain Battalion! Although Jiang Han was still a little hesitant, he finally remained silent when he looked at Chen Xiong, who had frosty temples beside Xu Xun, and the generals he selected. In the night, he saw a team of men and horses rushing out from the Desheng Gate of Beiguan, even if he knew that after the more than 1,000 military horses and the 2,000 military horses of the Ningxia avant-garde and the left and right Zhongtun guards outside the city would gather, they would not really take advantage of the night to march in a hurry, but would only be stationed in Zhang Liangbao, but he still couldn't help but feel deeply worried. However, the next moment, Yang Yiqing's command came to his ears.

"From now on, the six gates of Ningxia City are under martial law, and anyone who enters or leaves must show a certificate stamped with the seal of the General Military Office and my private seal! I left my private seal to Cao Mi, if there is anything to go to him to stamp! ”

Zhang Liangbao is only dozens of miles away from Ningxia City, and the east side is next to the Heishui River, which is one of the barriers in the northeast of Ningxia City. However, since it is called a fort here, it only accommodates four or five hundred people on weekdays, even if an urgent order is given in the evening, but the big night really ushered in these thousands of people, even if this army and horses are not stationed in the fort, it still makes the deputy thousand households guarding Zhang Liang Fort very frightened. It wasn't until early that morning that he made food and sent these thousands of people north, that he was greatly relieved.

The last time the division sneak attacked, Xu Xun was mainly based on the Xuanfu army, supplemented by the elite of Shenying's Guoyong battalion, plus the Shenying army, this can achieve such results, but this time brought out more than 2,500 people, although it can also be called elite, but because the composition is too complicated, when two days later, this army and horses finally arrived in Ningxia Pingyu City, he was really relieved.

Ningxia Pingyu City is not a famous city with hundreds or even thousands of years of history. This place was only built in the Yongle period, and Jingtai allocated 100 military households from the vanguard and the rear thousand households to station military horses here in six years to prepare for the invasion of the captives. It wasn't until the Hongzhi period that this place really prospered, after the re-building of the city, the people were not less than thousands, and the garrison had reached more than 3,000 people, the fang market was prepared, and occasionally there were Mongolian herdsmen who crossed the river to buy some things, and the thousands of households were only turning a blind eye.

After all, there are no civil officials here, no taxes, and only when the city is prosperous can the money and grain be more. Therefore, when he suddenly learned that Pingbei Bo Xu Xun had arrived, compared to the deputy thousand households who were in charge of Zhang Liangbao before, although there was only one thousand households in Pingyu City, it was Rongsheng who was in charge of this place on the North Road of the General Military Mansion. When Xu Xun galloped in early in the morning with one or two hundred people, he instinctively thought that he had come here to inspect the same way that Xu Xun had gone to the Black Mountain Camp and Zhenyuan Pass before.

He wanted to gather all his energy and prepare to wash the dust and catch the wind well, and then inquire about the intention, but as soon as Xu Xun opened his mouth, he asked him directly about crossing the river, and he was stunned for a moment.

"Pingbeibo, are you going to cross the Yellow River and enter the trap?"

After getting an affirmative answer, Rongsheng only felt that his heart was hanging. Even if he didn't know whether he had the consent of Jiang Han, the chief soldier of Ningxia, or whether he had informed Yang Yiqing, the commander-in-chief of the trilateral system, he only knew that if someone crossed the river on his ground, everything that happened would be counted on his head.

Therefore, he weighed over and over, and finally had to reply cautiously: "The water of the Yellow River is not very turbulent these days, according to the practice of previous years, the two months from the end of March to May, because there is little rain in the upper reaches, most of them are dry periods, it is much easier to cross the river, and even the boatmen do not need it, as long as I send someone to explore the depth of the river and set up a pontoon bridge." In addition, in the days when the Yellow River froze, wrapping wheat straw on the horse's hooves could also pass directly. Just don't know how many of you are going to cross the river? ”

Seeing Xu Xun raise two fingers, Rong Sheng thought about the previous attachés, so he tentatively said, "Two hundred? ”

As soon as the words fell, he saw an officer next to Xu Xun laughing, Xu Xun also shook his head, he was suddenly unsure, and stammered all of a sudden: "Could it be more than 20 people?" There are now Tartars stationed in this set, and more than 20 people have encountered something remarkable in the past.........," is more than 2,000 people! ”

Xu Xun saw that Rong Sheng's mouth was open as if he could stuff a whole egg, and he asked, "What, do you think it's so unbearable?" ”

"It's not enough, it's not ......"

Rong Sheng couldn't help but wipe a handful of sweat from his head, and finally reluctantly swallowed back the words that came to his mouth. Knowing that Xu Xun would never take more than 2,000 people to take a walk in the back garden of Hetao, even if he was dedicated, he would definitely have an urgent military situation, so he didn't even dare to ask, and after promising to salute, he hurried down to prepare. And when he left, Xu Xun glanced around in the room that had been vacated for him to rest temporarily, and finally beckoned Cao Qian over.

"The two people you mentioned before have you confirmed with Cao Mi?"

"Yes, Cao Mi said, one of them named Ding Guang does often go in and out of the Anhua Palace, and he is also one of the officers who volunteered to follow the adults to Pingyu City today." Since it was official business, Cao Qian didn't need to be called brother or anything like that, and called Cao Mi by his name for a while, speaking of which, he couldn't help but ask again, "My lord asked Cao Mi to go to check the king of Anhua before, and this time he left him in the city, could it be ......?"

"You just have a number."

Xu Xun didn't say it explicitly. No matter how much the current clan vassal king has no real power, the king of Anhua is a clan after all, and he must not act without evidence, so he asked Cao Mizai to carefully check those people who entered and left the Anhua palace. After all, Cao Mi has been operating on all sides for a while, plus the Jinyi Guards of Ningxia Town and Yansui Town, and it has really been verified by Zhou Ang, He Jin, Ding Guang and others. Moreover, before this trip, he specially asked Zhang Yong and Yang Yiqing to go all the way, in case something happened, he could also have a preparation.

"What about Ding Guang now?"

"After he came in with us, he disappeared, and it is very likely that he will go to see Rongsheng!"
