"What's going on up south? Why did you send tens of thousands of troops to the north, and don't you transfer troops and horses without an order, and punish them for crimes? ”

Gao Xun, the chief military officer of Datong Town, took the military document urgently reported by the thousands of households in Shanyin, so he didn't care about etiquette, and directly broke into the mansion of Zhang Tinggong, the governor of Datong, with a panicked face, but Zhang Tinggong was so calm that he pressed his hand and said suspiciously,

Gao Xun doesn't have such a good cultivation as him, what is the so-called defense and registered soldiers and horses in Datong Town, he knows everything, if something happens to the officials and soldiers of Ningwu Town from the south, he doesn't even have the ability to suppress, let alone other preparations, so he said anxiously,

"My lord, for now, let's find a way to stop this official army from continuing to go north, I heard that they said that they are going to go fifty miles north to meet the bones of the Li family, if they really go out fifty miles, then the last general should be beheaded by the imperial court. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

He is really in a hurry, Li Jing is okay, he has the strength at hand, and the court does not pay money, the people below are basically towards him, the court is afraid of his strength, and he can't move him for a while, but if he really lets him in, he will be questioned if he can't keep his back foot.

"Don't panic yet, you are also the chief soldier of a town, what kind of system do you become when you are so flustered?"

Zhang Tinggong read the military order patiently first, and then couldn't help but scold, then frowned, and asked in a deep voice,

"What is said on the other side, tell me what it is."

"Hey,"

Gao Xun turned down the tea handed over by his subordinates, and sat down directly on the seat next to Zhang Tinggong, and then began to explain,

"Just for the bones of his late father, he has to bring tens of thousands of elites out of the country to greet him? I'm afraid of this, it's not that simple. ”

Zhang Tinggong's face was solemn, and he shook his head decisively,

"There must be something strange about this, how many good fighters can you gather under your command now?"

"There are only four thousand, and any more will be the old and weak."

Gao Xun was frightened and panicked because there was no one at hand, if it was compiled according to Datong Town, not to mention one Li Jing, just say ten, he would not be afraid.

"Hiss~" Zhang Tinggong gasped when he heard this, the huge Datong Town, there are only 4,000 capable warriors, and it is estimated that most of these people are deployed inside and outside the Great Wall on the border, even if they are ordered to be transferred now, they can't stop the southern army from continuing to go north, but it can't be blocked if they don't stop,

As the governor of Datong, he also has the responsibility of defending the territory, Li Jing did not have an order to mobilize troops and horses, and after passing through his defense area, he deserved to die for the crime.

So he got up suddenly, and after walking anxiously back and forth a few steps, he waved his big hand, "Immediately use all the soldiers and horses you can mobilize, go up, and be sure to scare this bold chief soldier back, and I will immediately play to the court and ask my emperor to decide." ”

Gao Xun smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Lord Futai, there are only six hundred under my command who can be transferred immediately, where is this bit of manpower." ”

"If it's not enough, you have to block it, if he goes deep into the hinterland of Datong, once he has other different intentions, it will be chaos at that time, can you bear it?"

Zhang Tinggong scolded loudly, this bastard is really not long-sighted, if Li Jing intends to rebel, how can they be prepared, a blow must be fatal, but it can't be completely defenseless, if he finds out the reality of Datong Town, then he thinks that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, then it will be a disaster.

After explaining this truth to Gao Xun, he finally came back to his senses and felt a little more relieved, so he turned his head and went down, "Hey, hey, I'll do it." ”

"Quick, sharpen the ink, this official must immediately make it clear to the Son of Heaven."

Zhang Tinggong looked at his eager figure striding down, and he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare to go.

……

"My lord, there is the defense area of the Thousand Households of San'in in front of me, and I beg my lord, don't go any further, otherwise my life will be gone."

Liu Hongyuan, a thousand households in Shanyin, was about to cry, he was in front of the third battalion of the first brigade headed by the second town of the beggar army, as the pioneer of the whole army, they set off directly from the station, with the main force of 1,300 people marching in the starry night, at this moment they have arrived five miles south of the county seat of Shanyin.

This can scare Liu Hongyuan, a thousand households in Shanyin, half to death, he didn't receive a military order, there was no order from above, and he couldn't stop it, he had sixty or seventy people under him, to resist the 1,300 elites on the opposite side? Isn't this looking for death?

What's more, he still has the filial piety silver of the begging army in his hand every month, and once the incident happens, he will have to pay for his life.

"Presumably this is Liu Qianhu, right? I am begging to live in the military camp Zheng Jianjun, on the order of my main general to conquer the West, I will go north to meet the immortal body of the Li family's ancestors, passing through your land, please make it convenient. ”

Zheng Jianjun's real name is Zheng Shisan, and he is taken according to the ranking of brothers in the clan, yes, from Zheng Boss to sixteen, but after joining the army with Zheng Renbao, he has now also changed and served as a battalion leader, leading the errand of thousands of households in the imperial court, which can be regarded as a glorious lintel.

This is not in response to the call of the whole army, changed its name to build the army, if it weren't for the auxiliary country, breaking the captives, and killing the enemy, he would not be willing to give such a loud name.

"General Zheng, give your brother a way to live."

Liu Hongyuan looked at the army behind him dumbfounded, and he didn't have the heart to resist at all, let alone fight, just let people send out a team at will, and they could conquer the Shanyin County they were guarding in a quarter of an hour, what to fight, besides, he took the silver of the begging army for a month, and he had a good life, why should he fight?

"Alive? There is a way to live, it depends on Liu Qianhu, whether you can grasp it or not. ”

Zheng Jianjun wanted this effect, looking at the majesty of his military formation with satisfaction, and Liu Hongyuan, who was forced to pray for reconciliation, nodded and called him aside,

"How does Liu Qianhu look at my military formation?"

When Liu Hongyuan saw him talk about this, he replied with a bitter expression, "The elite in the world." ”

This is true, just these 1,300 men and horses, there are more than 200 cavalry, all of them are wearing armor, no matter the weapons and so on, they are all polished and beautiful, and the infantry team also has two or three hundred armor, armed with sharp blunt weapons and hammers, etc., at a glance, all of them are as strong as oxen, and their faces are not the kind of vegetables that their subordinates have no faces.

And not only that, there are more than 600 firearms soldiers among them, although there are few three-eyed guns, but if you look closely at the bird guns they carry, they are shorter than the bird guns of the general Ming army, but they don't know what they look like after going into battle, but just look at the ranks of the marching army, neatly and uniformly, it is obviously an elite team that has undergone strict training.

The most exaggerated thing is that there are actually eight hundred-pound tiger squat cannons behind them, and this clear posture is to prepare to fight, how many cannons can it take in the small city of Shanyin County?

"That is, my kind of soldiers and horses, among the imperial court military horses, are indeed rare, but in my beggar army, my third battalion is nothing more than an ordinary battalion head, that is, the second town stationed in Daizhou, such as me, there are as many as six, and under the command of General Zhengxi, there are ten elites as many as the second town, what do you say?"

"What?!"

Liu Hongyuan, who had a lot of dealings with the beggar army outside the Yanmen Pass in the south, said in his heart that this was true, he knew the situation of the third battalion, but he didn't expect that such a first-class elite battalion leader would actually be in the beggar army, and there were dozens of them?

According to his idea, just such a battalion head, it has to be under the command of the chief military officer of Datong Town to come to the standard battalion to deal with it, even if it goes into battle, it is also a five-five victory, but Datong Town will be a main force of the standard battalion, if it is fought out, the field soldiers of Datong Town will be finished, and then where will they gather a large army to resist?

"You're telling the truth?"

In such an instant, Liu Hongyuan almost had the idea of kneeling down and surrendering directly, the wealth of the begging army, he has always known, there is a lot of filial piety to him in one month, and the new pancreas, bronze mirror, I heard that they are all produced in Daizhou, which is occupied by the begging army, and there are as many as 100,000 filial piety money for the generals in a year.

If you want to feed a strong army, it is more than enough, in the past, I heard that there were more than 100,000 troops under the command of the deputy general army of Ningwu in the south, but when I heard it today, it was true.

"Of course it's true."

Zheng Jianjun looked at this person with a smile, and said in his heart that his own army was not very familiar with Datong Town, after all, although Tiance Wei continued to spy on the military situation in this area, most of the time, the intelligence was not shared with the local soldiers and horses, and only gave some general information about the deployment of the local garrison.

And now is not a war with Datong Town, some key information will not be given to the battalion below, at least at the brigade level will know some inside information, in order to grasp the first-hand information, Zheng Jianjun is willing to pull Liu Hongyuan over, and get some inside information.

The third battalion is stationed in Daizhou, and once the fight starts, it will bear the brunt, and the more you know, the more you will be prepared at that time, and naturally the credit will not be less at that time.

"How is it, has Liu Qianhu made up his mind?"

Liu Hongyuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with difficulty, "Is there no other way?" ”

Zheng Jianjun got the order to get as close as possible to Shanyin County, but if it was blocked by the local Ming army, it would be transferred to the defense and could not cause a big conflict, but the military order was a thing, naturally depending on the actual situation.

"I was ordered to go fifty miles in front of Datong Town, hehe, this Shanyin County is within the range."

"What if you do it this time and retreat?"

What Liu Hongyuan wants is a guarantee, he can't obey the front foot, and the back foot will be sold.

Zheng Jianjun snorted, anyway, he made up some nonsense to deceive him, "My army is stationed in Yanmen, and my lord has recently led 100,000 soldiers and horses from Shaanxi to cross the Yellow River eastward, and in the future, I can't station a camp on the boundary of Shanyin." ”

"As long as you are willing to ensure that my life is safe, then just go into the city."

Liu Hongyuan also let go, he is a thousand households a year, not only to prevent the officials from picking thorns, but also to prevent trouble below, and he will earn a few hundred taels of silver a year, it is better to take refuge in the begging army to protect the lives of the whole family.
