After coming out of the palace and returning to the post house, Pang Yue began to arrange the matters before the expedition again, and wrote a letter to Zhang Yunli and others who stayed in Changsha and Tian Shizun, He Zhenting and others who stayed in Chenzhou, and sealed them with a big seal and fire paint. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After lunch, Pang Yue called Zhou Tianzheng, deputy of the pro-soldier team, Jin Yong, a personal soldier, and Ma Yuancheng, director of the intelligence department, to the room.

"Jin Yong!"

"Humble duty!"

Pang Yue handed over a letter: "You take a few people, immediately set off to send this letter to the Changsha camp, and be sure to hand it over to Deputy General Zhang!" ”

"Yes! Rest assured, guaranteed delivery"

"Zhou Tianzheng!"

"Humble duty!"

Pang Yue handed Zhou Tianzheng another letter: "You can bring a few capable people and return to Chenzhou." Time is pressing, I will match each of you with three horses, be sure to travel day and night, without any delay! After returning to Chenzhou, be sure to hand over this letter to Mr. Tian by hand! ”

"Yes!"

"Hurry up and prepare, and try to get off as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

After Zhou Tianzheng and Jin Yong went down to prepare, Pang Yue said to Ma Yuancheng again: "The situation is urgent, these two letters must be delivered as soon as possible, and there can be no half-point difference." Just in case, you'll need to pick a few more competent and reliable people from the Intelligence Division and go with them so that you can always meet with the Intelligence Division contact points along the way, and get support if necessary. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will arrange it!" Ma Yuancheng has been following Pang Yue for a long time. He had long developed the habit of absolute obedience, so after hearing Pang Yue's orders, he agreed without asking much at all.

Less than half an hour. The two groups set out from the post house and headed north and northwest respectively after leaving the city.

*********

In the early morning of the ninth day of April, the camp of Huguang Town outside Changsha City.

With the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, a group of men and horses galloped out of the gate from afar, and then reined in the horse's head, dismounted, and led the horse towards the gate.

"Who? Stop it! The officer who led the line at the gate shouted loudly.

"It's me! Jin Yong of the handsome pro-soldier team! There's a waist card here! Jin Yong, who was dressed in civilian clothes and was dusty, was yelled at by the officer at the door, and his heart was somewhat unhappy. He also replied loudly, "On the orders of the marshal, I need to present an urgent letter to the deputy marshal!" ”

Then. The officer at the door had already recognized Jin Yong, and glanced at the waist card in his hand. nodded: "It turned out to be Brother Jin Yong, let's go in!" ”

Jin Yong stopped talking nonsense with him, and led the horse into the barracks. Walk directly in the direction of Zhang Yunli's military tent.

……

Two quarters of an hour later. After reading the letter, Zhang Yunli immediately summoned the battalion officers to come to the Chinese army's big tent.

After the people arrived, Zhang Yunli showed the letter in his hand to the generals and said: "The marshal personally wrote a letter, and the order is as follows: Gangfeng and the second battalion of the broken army will return to Chenzhou first to rest and take over the defense of the Huben battalion, and the rest of the battalions will immediately leave for Hengzhou. ”

"Brother Zibin, is there another war?" Lu Qiwu asked, with obvious unwillingness in his tone, "Why did the marshal let us go back to Chenzhou with Gangfengying?" The losses of our Gangfeng battalion are a bit big, though. But it's not that you can't go into battle! It's better to let our battalion go to Hengzhou with us, and when we get to Hengzhou, I'll explain to the marshal! He will be beaten and punished, and he will be at his disposal. Anyway, our battalion can't just leave the battlefield, and the brothers in the battalion won't agree. ”

Shi Lang was also a little unwilling, and said: "Deputy Marshal, Brother Lu is right, although the losses of the second battalion of Gangfeng and Pojun are a bit large, after so many days of rest, it is not impossible to go into battle again." After experiencing the previous wars, the soldiers have more combat experience, and they can still add some help to the whole army. ”

Hearing what Lu Qiwu and Shi Lang said, Zhang Yunli was a little unhappy in his heart, if Pang Yue personally ordered it, no one would bargain like this, it seems that he has never been in charge of an army independently for a long time, and his prestige is still slightly insufficient. But Zhang Yunli is a well-cultivated person, of course he will not show this displeasure on his face, but said calmly: "This is an order given by the marshal himself, and you should also know that my Huguang Town has always paid attention to orders and prohibitions, and any disobedience and disrespect will be severely punished." Besides, Da Shuai's decision must have his own considerations. The courage of the two of you to take the initiative to fight is good, but it may also disrupt the boss's plan. In addition, the marquis does not have to be so obsessed, the marshal specified in the letter that you should hand over the military affairs of the battalion to the battalion deputy, and you yourself will go to Hengzhou with the army. ”

"Does the marshal have any arrangements for me?" Lu Qiwu hurriedly asked.

"Yes!" Zhang Yunli nodded.

Lu Qiwu showed a smug smile at this time: "I'll just say, Dashuai won't let me get out of the battlefield easily!" ”

Zhang Yunli shook his head again: "The marshal's arrangement for you is to lead the Gangfeng Battalion and the broken military camp back to Chenzhou, take over the defense of the Huben Battalion, before the main force of our town returns to Chenzhou, you are the highest general in Chenzhou, responsible for controlling all the battalion soldiers and guards, and protecting Chenzhou City and the General Manufacturing Bureau, Iron Works and other institutions." ”

As soon as Zhang Yunli's words fell, a burst of laughter broke out in the tent.

Shi Youliang smiled from ear to ear, patted Lu Qiwu's shoulder and said, "Lu Heizi, what else are you unhappy about?" I'll be able to go back to Chenzhou to see my brother and sister soon, which is a good thing! Before the army returns to Chenzhou, you can still live the addiction of the highest general, isn't this good? ”

Hearing Shi Youliang say this, the laughter in the tent became even stronger. Lu Qiwu shook off Shi Youliang's palm with a bad face, and shook his head helplessly.

Then, Zhang Yunli motioned for everyone to be quiet and said, "Just do what the marshal said!" The generals all returned to the camp to prepare, and strive to leave as soon as possible! I'll go into the city to meet the overseer and the governor. ”

"Yes!"

……

After the meeting ended, Zhang Yunli immediately went to the city to meet Zhu Dadian and He Tengjiao.

At this time, Zhu Dadian and He Tengjiao had also received the will sent by Emperor Longwu on a fast horse, and knew the news that Huguang Town was about to go to Hengzhou. Moreover. Emperor Longwu also asked He Tengjiao to allocate grain and grass for ten days to Huguang Town for use on the road. Although He Tengjiao usually seemed a little unhappy when distributing grain and grass to those troops who were not under his control, it was because this was an order from Emperor Longwu. What's more, the number is not very large, so he has no opinion.

Therefore, seeing Zhang Yunli's arrival, Zhu Dadian and He Tengjiao quickly discussed with him various matters concerning the departure of Huguang Town.

……

On the afternoon of the ninth day of April, the battalions of Huguang Town, outside Changsha, officially set up camp. The second battalion of Gangfeng and Pojun returned to Chenzhou under the leadership of Lu Qiwu, and the rest of the battalions marched to Hengzhou.

*********

On the evening of April 13, Chenzhou

Another team of messengers led by Zhou Tianzheng finally arrived at the city after eight days of day and night. At this time. The gates are closed. Zhou Tianzheng knew that the situation was urgent, and he didn't dare to delay in the slightest, so he shouted loudly outside the city. Fortunately. The officers and soldiers defending the city quickly recognized him, and after listening to his explanation and identification, they let them into the city.

Zhou Tianzheng entered the city and hurried in the direction of Tian Shizun's residence without stopping.

……

At the beginning of the year, Tian Shizun had already sent someone to take the family from Nan'an's hometown to Chenzhou. Pang Yue was also very generous. I bought a house in the city with my own money and gave it to Tian Shizun's family to live in. Tian Shizun was very moved. But what made Tian Shizun feel even more honored was Pang Yue's trust in him, and when the army set out on the expedition, he handed over all the inventory of money, grain, materials, and the General Manufacturing Bureau, the Iron Factory, and Tuntian to himself. In the face of Pang Yue's trust, Tian Shizun naturally did not dare to slack off, and cooperated with He Zhenting, the battalion officer of the Huben battalion, one to take care of logistics and other affairs, and the other to preside over military affairs.

"Sir," Tian Shizun was reading a book in the study with the lamp on. The servant's voice came from outside the door, "Someone asks to be seen." Say there's something urgent! ”

"Who asks to see? About what? ”

"It's a huge pro-soldier team, and I said I wanted to see Mr. in person!"

Tian Shizun hurriedly put down the book, got up and said, "Invite him in!" ”

"Yes."

It didn't take long for Zhou Tianzheng to walk into the study and salute: "I've seen Mr. Tian!" ”

"No need to be polite!" Tian Shizun said, "General Zhou brought back the letter of the adult?" ”

"Exactly, this is the handwritten letter of the handsome! He let the lowly office be presented to the gentleman in person! Zhou Tianzheng handed over the letter.

Tian Shizun also noticed the change in Zhou Tianzheng's name for Pang Yue, but at the moment he was not most concerned about this, but nodded, checked the fire paint and seal on the envelope of the letter, and then opened the letter, and looked at the light on the table.

After reading the letter, Tian Shizun said to Zhou Tianzheng: "The general has come all the way, it's been hard, let's rest for a while!" The commander commanded, and the students will arrange it themselves" Then he called the servants standing outside the house: "Hurry up and invite He Guerrilla, Xin Commander Tongzhi, Lord Long, and Lord Shen!" ”

……

In less than half an hour, He Zhenting, the battalion officer of the Huben battalion, Xin Yuyong, the commander of Chenzhou Wei, Long Wenzhou, the director of the General Manufacturing Bureau, and Shen Shiyuan, the commander of the teaching battalion, all rushed to Tian Shizun's mansion.

Time was pressing, Tian Shizun also seemed very straightforward, directly showed Pang Yue's handwritten letter to He Zhenting and others, and announced Pang Yue's order: After receiving the letter, the Huben battalion immediately went to Hengzhou to meet with the main force, and before departure, the General Manufacturing Bureau was equipped with the missing armor and weapons, and carried some armor, weapons and ammunition to supplement the battle losses of the remaining battalions. In addition, before the two battalions of Gangfeng and Pojun rushed back to Chenzhou, the task of protecting Chenzhou City, the General Manufacturing Bureau, the Iron Works and other institutions was temporarily handed over to the recruits recruited by the teaching battalion and the military households of Chenzhou Wei, and Xin Yuyong and Shen Shiyuan were in charge of this matter.

Hearing this order, He Zhenting was almost overjoyed: "Great! The sons and daughters of my Tiger Battalion can finally go into battle to kill the enemy like the rest of the battalions, and use the skills they have usually practiced to show their skills! Instead of competing on the school field all day long! ”

He Zhenting's strong desire to fight made everyone present laugh, this guy has been secretly holding back his strength for the past two months, and now he is happy to be like this when he has the opportunity to vent.

This time, Pang Yue mentioned in the letter that Tian Shizun would also go to Hengzhou with the Tiger Camp, and the money, grain, Tuntian and other matters would be handed over to Xin Yuyong and Long Wenzhou to take care of. Tian Shizun had taken care of these things before, and knew that these things seemed simple, but there was still a lot of attention to if they were to be really done well, so he deliberately explained some of his usual experiences and places that needed attention to Xin Yuyong and Long Wen, and asked the two to unite and cooperate and not to live up to Pang Yue's trust.

In the face of Pang Yue's trust and entrustment, Long Wenzhou was fine, but Xin Yuyong was excited about it. He knew that he was different from Long Wenzhou and other Pang Yue's descendants, and it was difficult to gain Pang Yue's trust and respect if he did not have outstanding performance, so he had been doing the things he had explained diligently, and he had not slackened in the slightest. Now, his previous efforts have finally been affirmed, and Xin Yuyong naturally feels excited from the bottom of his heart.

"Without further ado, let's start preparing after you go back, so that the Tiger Ben camp can set off as soon as possible!" Zhang Yunli said.

Everyone promised one by one. (To be continued.) )
