Half an hour ago.

In the line, Du Guoying stood in the right compartment with his hands down, beads of sweat continued to seep out of his head, and then slid across his cheeks and fell on his chest. It was not only the braziers in the four corners of the house that caused all this, but also the tension in his heart, so he carefully glanced at Yang He, who was sitting at the top, the man who held his destiny in his hands.

Yang He is reading the letter carefully, this letter is not long - both sides are illiterate, Du Guoying is slightly stronger, and such a confidential matter cannot be handed over to a third party to write, so this letter is tossed out by Du Guoying and two people in two people, and the continuous typos and incomprehensible sentences have brought great trouble to Yang He's reading, but like all things in the world, letters also have an end.

"Du Guoying, what is written in this letter is the truth?" Yang He asked, pointing to the letter paper.

"Tell the army, what is written on the letter is true, and there is not a word of falsehood!" Du Guoying hurriedly replied.

"Then what are you doing here? Then Huang Lai'er persuaded the thieves to go east and poison the creatures, why didn't your leader say anything to stop it? Yang He suddenly stood up, slapped his palm on several cases, and shouted: "Does he still want to return to the imperial court?" Do you want to be a general in Ningxia Town? “

Yang He's palm seemed to be split on Du Guoying's head, he knelt on the ground with weak knees, and shouted while kowtowing: "The heart of my family's leader to submit to the court can be seen from the sun and the moon, but that Huang Lai'er is clever and tongue-in-cheek, and we are really not his opponents, so I sent villains to come here and dare to show the army!" ”

Yang He snorted coldly, looking at Du Guoying kneeling on the ground with some annoyance, his heart was scared and irritable, Yang He is now serving as the official name of the trilateral governor is "Governor Yansui, Gansu, Ningxia Trilateral Military Affairs", this official position can govern the governor of Hexi, the governor of Hedong, the governor of Shaanxi, and the nine general soldiers of Gan, Liang, Su, Xi, Ningxia, Yansui, Shendaoling, Xing'an, and Guyuan, but Yang He's hand cannot reach Shanxi Province across the river, once the peasant army enters Shanxi Province, The local officials will definitely write to impeach him for his ineffective crackdown on thieves and causing thieves to harm all sides, and he will definitely not be able to suppress these impeachments, and his fate can be imagined at that time.

Zhao Wende, who was standing on the side, knew very well that Du Guoying would only continue to make Yang He angry if he continued to stay here, and if Shangguan was angry and ordered him to be killed, it would be troublesome, so he made a retreat gesture to Du Guoying without missing a trace. After he went out, Zhao Wende said in a low voice: "My lord, according to what I see below, in fact, this may be a good thing." “

"A good thing?" Yang He was shocked when he heard this: "Why did Jiansheng say this? ”

"My lord, although the two sides of the thief's head are sincere, but the two ends of his heart are quite meaningful, and he has the intention of eliminating dissidents among the thieves with the power of the court. And that Huang Laier persuaded the thieves to go east, but forced this guy to make up his mind, isn't it a good thing? ”

"What Jiansheng said is very true!" Yang He couldn't help but high-five when he heard this, as Zhao Wende said, Liangmian Guang originally sent Du Guoying to beg Yang He to surrender, but this kind of thing was not determined until the last moment, and Yang He didn't dare to count this force on his side, let alone force it too tightly, but could only use high-ranking officials to buy and seduce. However, Li Hongji persuaded the leaders of the peasant army to go eastward and backward, but forced Liangmian Guang to defect to the side of the Ming army, and Yang He insisted that the other party do something to make a petition.

"Then I'll let that guy act as an internal response and make an appointment to break the thief at some time?" Yang He said with a smile.

"My lord, if you only listen to one side of such a big thing, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, if you choose a shrewd and capable person to go back with that guy, one can be monitored, and the other is also a few internal responses, I think it's better to do this."

"Well, who does Jiansheng think he sends?" Yang He asked.

"From the villain's point of view, this person must be more commanding, and the adult must also be kind to him, and it is best to know the details of Du Guoying-" Zhao Wende looked at Yang He's face as he spoke, carefully guessing the other party's intentions.

"Hehe, Jiansheng, you don't have to say it, I know who you're talking about!" Yang He stood up, paced back and forth, and after a few minutes he stopped: "Liu Baihu is indeed the most suitable candidate, he originally had a feud with He Renlong, if he comes back with meritorious service this time, he can be promoted to the garrison, and the world can also reach a thousand households, and there is no problem in self-preservation." Come here, recruit Liu Cheng and Liu Qian, always come to see the official! “

When Liu Cheng walked into the house, he carefully swept his eyes around, but he couldn't find Du Guoying's figure, which surprised him a little, but he still saluted and stood in the left compartment with his crossed hands to listen to orders. But after half a ring, he didn't hear any orders from above, Liu Cheng couldn't help but secretly raise his head to look, but saw Yang He sitting on the top, Zhao Wende standing aside, the two stared at a letter in their hands, whispered from time to time, and looked like they were discussing things, at this time Yang He raised his head, his eyes swept to this side, and Liu Cheng hurriedly lowered his head.

"Mr. Liu Qian, I have a big deal recruiting you today!" Yang He coughed lowly, folded the letterhead in his hand, and put it aside: "This official has also made it clear in advance, this matter is very involved, if it is done, I will protect you as a guard." Although General Naga has some enmity with you, he will hurt you very much. ”

Liu Cheng was a little flustered when he heard this, as a brick-moving dog who had been mixed up in society for several years, he naturally knew that his superiors had nothing to do and were courteous or thieves. But at this time, when the sky fell, I had to bow down and salute: "Thank you for the cultivation of Master Zhengtai!" ”

Seeing Liu Cheng like this, Yang He's face was a little more smiling, and he said to Zhao Wende: "Jiansheng, you and Liu Qian will make it clear!" Zhao Wende responded, and then Du Guoying asked the court to surrender for the two sides, and the peasant army was about to go east and other things one by one, and finally Zhao Wende said: "The east is strong, the Holy Son of Heaven has to worry about the east, if a group of thieves cross the Yellow River east, not only the whole Jin Dynasty collapsed, but even the towns of Xuanda had to move inward to suppress the thieves." Now, if you can cooperate with the outside and wipe out the thieves, the court will be very fortunate, the people will be very fortunate, and the country will be very fortunate, and it will also be a great blessing for you and me. “

"The villain should do his best, and then die!" When Liu Cheng heard this, he hurriedly bowed down to obey the order. At this time, Yang He ordered Du Guoying, who was waiting outside, to come in, explain the situation to the two, and let him retreat.

Liu Du and the two looked at each other, Du Guoying sang a fat promise, and said with a wry smile: "If it weren't for me this time, you wouldn't be implicated." ”

"You can't say that, it's just a living licking blood on the knife's edge, where can you care so much!" Liu Cheng smiled: "But I don't know how many people I can take?" ”

"I'm also a leader over there, and less than twenty people can cover up the past, and if I am afraid of those two lights, I will be suspicious."

"Okay, you wait a while, I'll go back and gather all the people and set off together!"

"Brother Liu, I have something to ask for!"

Liu Cheng was just about to leave, but was stopped by Du Guoying, he turned around, and saw that the other party's face was full of pleading: "My uncle is not young, so he doesn't have to go this time." ”

Liu Cheng was also a little moved when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I can't do without him in the camp, so you have to keep him even if you don't say it." ”

Liu Cheng returned to the camp, explained a few words to Du Ruhu about the military affairs after he left, and then went to select the accompanying guards. I can choose for a while, but there are only six or seven favorites, it turns out that most of Liu Cheng's subordinates are Ding Kou who was captured a few days ago, and the practice is only a month or two, and it is okay to fight according to the car formation, and it is lackluster to single out the martial arts.

Liu Cheng was irritable when he looked at it, and Du Gu on the side said in a low voice: "Why don't you call the man who grabbed meat to eat?"

"Him?" Liu Cheng was a little hesitant, is it appropriate to bring a person who is not familiar with him and has not formed a friendship to the enemy's army? But he looked at the clumsy skills of the two people who were competing in the field, and gritted his teeth: "Well, it's Wang Xingguo, you call him!" ”

Du Gu responded, and after a while, Wang Xingguo was brought over, Liu Cheng looked at the other party, still with that indifferent look, and was lazily watching the battle in the field.

"Would you like to try your hand at the end?" Liu Cheng asked.

"That's it, my hands are heavy, and it doesn't look good when I'm killed or injured!" Wang Xingguo waved his hand a little lazily.

"It's okay, you don't need knives and guns, you can use sticks!" Liu Cheng stood up and shouted to the two people who were fighting below: "Stop! Then he said to Wang Xingguo: "If you can win with one against two, you will accompany me to the enemy camp for a while, and when you come back, I will promote you to be the boss." “

"This lamb meal is really not for nothing!" Wang Xingguo laughed, he walked to the weapon rack, picked a one-meter-six-seven long pole and rod, weighed it twice, and forcefully broke a section about an inch or so in front of him before walking towards the two people in the field.

"It seems that this person has two sons, if he has a good armor, he is a man in battle." Du Ruhu on the side said in a low voice.

"How did Brother Du see it?"

"Look at his hands, my lord!" Du Ruhu explained in a low voice, it turned out that although Wang Xingguo picked a one-meter-six-seven pole, this length of weapons is generally a Qimei stick or a short spear, but his grip is to hold the end of the rod with both hands, but this grip is only available in two-handed swords such as two-handed long swords and wild swords. In the era of cold weapons, those who dared to use such weapons in the East and the West, regardless of the East or the West, were elite soldiers. The space on the battle array is narrow, there is no room to move and avoid, in hand-to-hand combat, either choose a spear of more than four meters to attack the enemy at a long distance, or use a big shield to protect yourself and approach the enemy with a short sword to assassinate, like using a two-handed sword The length is not as long as the spear, and can not hold a shield to protect yourself, the only way out is to wear heavy armor, rush into the enemy formation left and right to slash and kill a bloody road, courage, martial arts, and skills are slightly worse, is the end of the knife and the corpse, ancient China generally called this kind of elite soldiers as a trap.

The two people in the field were both three-meter spears with the head of the gun, and when they saw Wang Xingguo walking towards this side with a big grin, they both took two steps back to the side, and pointed the tip of the gun at the person, forming a corner trend. But Wang Xingguo didn't seem to see the two of them, put the rod on his shoulder, and forced him over with a big grin. The man on the left couldn't hold it, and shouted a gun as a chest stab, Wang Xingguo waited for the tip of the gun to be only a foot away from his chest, Xu Fang twisted his waist, let go of the tip of the gun, clamped the gun under his armpit, and slashed at the opponent's shoulder, only to hear a muffled sound, the man fell to the ground and couldn't move. In addition, the man saw a shot stabbed in the gap, Wang Xingguo flicked the handle of the knife with his backhand, only to hear a crisp sound, but the head of the gun was pulled away a little, and it did not stab the body, but the sheepskin jacket he was wearing was torn open a big hole, and Wang Xingguo kicked the man to the ground as soon as he twisted his waist.

"Sure enough, it's a good martial art that came out of battle!" Du Ruhu saw that Liu Cheng was still a little ignorant, so he explained that the martial arts in the ancient army were very different from those on the rivers and lakes, most of them were one-on-one, at most more than ten people were fighting, and neither side had any armor on them; The battle on the battlefield is wearing armor and complete clothing, so the martial arts in the army value killing the enemy with one hit, and the attack on the opponent is rarely avoided, usually with the heavier part of the body armor to bear, anyway, as long as the enemy is killed first, the enemy is naturally powerless to pierce their armor. Like the shot that cut through Wang Xingguo's clothes just now, if there is armor on his body, it will only slide over, and it will not hurt a bit.

"Okay, that's you!" Liu Cheng stood up: "You go and clean up, and after dinner, we will go on the road together." ”

Both sides of the light old camp.

Sitting cross-legged on the kang on both sides, a gust of cold wind blew in from the loose corner of the window, blowing the oil lamp and swaying, and his face was even more cloudy. The fire in the kang had long since been extinguished, and the room was as cold as an ice cellar, but he still sat there, like a stone statue.

Suddenly, a terrible wolf howl was heard outside the house, and the howl of this ferocious carnivore became particularly permeable in this hungry winter. As if he had been pulled by some trigger, his body, which had been frozen on both sides, trembled, and the wolf howl seemed to have some mysterious power to lift him from the state of the stone statue and return him to the state of an ordinary person.

He moved his stiff and numb legs off the kang, walked to the table, picked up the flask and shook it, the empty flask did not emit a bit. Liangmianguang threw the jug aside in annoyance, but at this time he was not interested in asking someone to bring another jug of wine, so he went to the water tank in the courtyard and scooped a spoonful of water to drink.

As soon as the cold water entered his stomach, the two sides couldn't help but shiver, and he looked up at the moon in the sky, it was already two watches. He shook his head and shouted to the guards outside: "Come on, bring firewood to Kang Litian, and if Du Guoying comes back, let him come to see me immediately!" ”

As the saying goes, "There are wrong names, no wrong nicknames!" Since he took a dozen poor brothers who couldn't get along and burned down the landlord's house, he has always believed in a motto: "The knife cuts the tofu and the light on both sides", not at the last moment, he will never show his tendencies. A big reason why he asked Du Guoying, a person who had not been in the gang for a long time, to contact the matter of surrendering to the imperial court was that if he was caught by others, he could also shirk the responsibility - Du Guoying was not his confidant, how could he hand over such an important matter to such an outsider? Thanks to the book friend Daai Chaoshen and otto777 for the reward, what Weber can do is to concentrate on writing books, the speed can't be fast, and the quality should not slip.
