Chu Huan and Lin Bing flew quickly, crossed two streets, and came straight to the East City Gate.

Chu Huan was actually a little worried that after Zhao Guangqing got the news, he would immediately send someone to round him up, but along the way, there was no obstruction, and he knew that even if Gui Lun used a red light to send a signal and go from Gui Mansion to Zhizhou Mansion to notify, it would definitely take some time, and Lin Bing and himself acted extremely fast, there was no stagnation at all, even if Zhao Guangqing got the news at this time, and wanted to organize a round-up immediately, it was too late.

This time the town valley stone field encircled and suppressed, Chu Huan has always wondered how Lin Bing knew how Lin Dai'er and his group would know that the old nest of Lin Dai'er and his group would be in the town valley stone field in Chen County, that place is very remote, if it wasn't for Lin Bing to lead the way, Chu Huan would never have imagined that Lin Dai'er and his group would blatantly hide in the stone field, the so-called big hidden in the city and small hidden in the wilderness, the stone field hidden, and the bandits hiding in the stone field, I am afraid that everyone could not expect it.

Izumo Mountain Mansion City, follow Lin Bing, cross the river by boat, and go around the mountain by car, in fact, there was really a big circle on the way, Chu Huan faintly felt that if Lin Bing really knew that the Machiya Stone Field was the hiding place of Lin Daier and others, there was no need to go around such a big circle, and the itinerary at that time gave Chu Huan the feeling that he was being led around in a circle.

Chu Huan is a smart person, and he has already guessed in his heart that Lin Dai'er's group is afraid that someone left a mark for Lin Bing along the way, because whenever he reaches a fork in the road, Lin Bing will get out of the car.

If Lin Bing couldn't have known in advance that Lin Dai'er and the others would be in the Machiya Stone Field, even if Zhao Guangqing was the real culprit behind the scenes, he would not have thought that the Town Valley Stone Field had been exposed.

Perhaps in Zhao Guangqing's opinion, although the Machiya Stone Yard is clear and dense, it should be an excellent hiding place in a short period of time, but in Chu Huan's opinion, if it weren't for someone betraying it, it would indeed be a safe place.

Lin Bing's actions caught Zhao Guangqing off guard.

The east gate of the city has been closed, seven or eight soldiers defending the city are leaning against the wall, holding spears, hearing the sound of horses' hooves, someone has already woken up their companions, several people stood up, holding spears, the horses said to arrive, the first person was Lin Bing, who was dressed as a rich businessman, and some soldiers had already stepped forward and shouted: "Who is it?" What for? ”

Seeing that there were only two people, the soldiers guarding the city were relieved.

Lin Bing glanced back, not at Chu Huan, but at see if there was anyone else behind, he knew very well that if Zhao Guangqing really got the news, with Zhao Guangqing's shrewdness, he would definitely control the Tongzhou camp as soon as possible.

Lin Bing took out the heavy money bag from his arms, threw it over, and said, "It's convenient for a few people, and you have something urgent to go out." ”

"What's the matter?" A guard took it and shook it, and it was really heavy.

Although Lin Bingxin was a little anxious, he still smiled and said: "There is a batch of goods that was shipped out today, but it was shipped wrong, so we have to chase it back." "He's dressed as a businessman, and he speaks business.

The soldier was about to get angry, but he saw that it was the captain of the city gate, and he hurriedly bowed and said, "Captain, these two are going out." ”

The captain of the city gate held the money bag in his hand and said slowly: "It's so late, what are you going out for?" ”

Chu Huan was also very anxious at this time, if Zhao Guangqing's men really caught up, he was afraid that he would not be able to get out of this city gate, but this captain was still speaking slowly and pretending.

There were only seven or eight soldiers in front of this gate, and when they heard the sound of horses' hooves, the captain rushed over, and followed by five or six people, these more than ten people were not terrible, and the two of them made a move, and it may not be impossible to solve it, but there are soldiers guarding the city, and there are guard sheds not far away.

Without waiting for Lin Bing to answer, the soldier next to him rushed to say: "Their freight is wrong, and they have to go out to chase back." ”

"Oh?" The captain crossed his waist and said: "You should know that it is not yet time to open the city gate, if the city gate is opened at this time, we can't afford to blame it." He added, "Is that shipment important?" ”

Lin Bing smiled: "Yes." His eyes narrowed, and he acted like a businessman.

The lieutenant smiled: "Very important goods? You are really in business, and the money is flowing into your pockets, and you have to earn a lot of money for this batch of goods, right? ”

Chu Huan only listened to this person's words, and knew that this guy was just trying to blackmail more.

At this time, he faintly heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from behind, and according to the movement of horses' hooves, there were quite a few people coming.

Although the sound of horses' hooves is still quite a distance away, Chu Huan's heart is tight, knowing that if he has to delay again, the team of people and horses behind will come up, so late at night, no one will usually go out of the city, and the team of people in the back is a person sent by Zhao Guangqing.

Although he was anxious, his face still looked calm, seeing Lin Bing throw out a big money bag, knowing that Lin Bing probably had no other silver on him, he didn't say much, he took out his money bag with gold leaves from his arms and threw it over, the captain took it, opened it and looked at it, with a smile on his face, and said: "Okay, be kind to the people, we are not soldiers to let you ordinary people live a good life......!" He raised his hand and said, "Open the door!" ”

Immediately, several people stepped forward to pull open the huge beam of the city gate.

Chu Huan had already felt the sound of horses' hooves behind him getting closer and closer, and saw the crossbar of the city gate being lifted down, and then saw that the city gate had opened a gap, and at this time, a shout had already come from the rear: "Close the city gate, don't open the city gate!" ”

Lin Bing had already urged the horse forward at this time, Chu Huan also urged the horse, the two horses neighed, walked out through the door, and the rumbling sound behind him approached, and the captain immediately shouted: "Close the city gate quickly!" ”

The soldiers immediately closed the gates and lifted the beams up.

……

The sixteen provinces of Daqin, the land of sixty-six states, have a vast territory, fertile fields for thousands of miles, and rich resources.

Since the founding of the huge empire, it has formed a relatively complete system in the economic, military, and political aspects, and the military is the weapon of the country, but for the emperor, sometimes it is a double-edged sword, used well, sharp, and incomparable, and if you are not careful, you can hurt yourself, and the empire has always been very cautious about the military system.

From ancient times to the present, there have been many things about local self-respect, so the empire has formed various strata such as the Twelve Guards, the Guards Army, the Praetorian Guards, and the State Army in the military.

The Twelve Guards are the garrisons of the national capital, the most well-equipped and combat-ready army of the Empire, and the Guards are the foundation of the Empire's vast legions.

Although the supreme general is a commander, the real transfer of command is subordinate to the Ministry of War and the Privy Council, and the orders of the Ministry of War and the Privy Council must be issued through the deliberation and decision of the provinces.

If the local government wants to mobilize the guards, without an official letter from the imperial court, it will never be possible.

Although this made the procedures for the transfer of the guards very complicated, it also ensured that it was impossible for the local authorities to use the guards to cause chaos.

A governor can have 5,000 Praetorian Guards under his command and can be moved by the governor, while each state has a state army, the number of which is limited to 5,000 and the state army to 3,000.

These armies, in addition to being used for city defense, are mainly used to maintain local stability and suppress civil uprisings or riots at any time, unless the situation is too critical, and under normal circumstances, the guards do not move, and the local Janissaries and state armies can completely quell the rabble.

Thousands of well-trained and well-equipped troops, saying that less is more, and not too much, even if they are in the hands of the governors of the provinces and the governors of the prefectures, they cannot pose much harm.

However, the composition of the state army is somewhat different from that of the guard army.

The guards are all from military households, and the transfer of the guards is completely controlled by the imperial court, for example, the guards of the West Mountain Road are not necessarily from the West Mountain Road, many of its soldiers are transferred from other provinces to serve in the West Mountain Road Guards, although there are also many local soldiers who serve in the guard army, but seven or eight out of ten are from other provinces, which is also to prevent the emergence of local factions in the guard army.

However, the state army is recruited from local young adults, and they are very familiar with and adapted to the local climate, environment and geography.

The 3,000 soldiers of the Tongzhou battalion, except for some high-level generals, almost all of its soldiers are composed of local children in Tongzhou.

The large camp of the Tongzhou camp is less than fifteen miles east of Tongzhou City, located at the foot of Guanshan Mountain.

In front of the gate of the Tongzhou camp, the soldiers guarding the camp heard the sound of horses' hooves, and the soldiers on the wooden tower immediately shouted: "Someone is coming." He drew his bow and aimed his arrows at the two horsemen who came from afar.

Chu Huan and Lin Bing flew in horses, almost equivalent to single-handedly, Chu Huan knew that this was really going deep into the tiger's den, and if he was not careful, he might not be able to leave the Tongzhou camp alive tonight.

But he also knew in his heart that if the Tongzhou camp could not be suppressed tonight, and if Zhao Guangqing really plotted rebellion, then the Tongzhou mutiny, and the entire Tongzhou would be completely in chaos within a few days.

Tongzhou is a powder keg, there is a possibility of explosion at any time, Xu Congyang came to Xishan Road, originally to deal with Tongzhou affairs, in case of turmoil in Tongzhou, affecting the delivery of materials to the northwest.

All along, Zhao Guangqing seems to be trying his best to suppress the explosion of this powder keg, but if Zhao Guangqing himself is a fire and ignites this powder keg, then Tongzhou is bound to explode.

Once the Tongzhou battalion followed Zhao Guangqing to raise troops and rebelled, and then waved his arms, Chu Huan believed that Tongzhou would soon be full of rebellious troops.

If that batch of weapons is related to Zhao Guangqing, it also means that Zhao Guangqing has been covering himself as the governor of Tongzhou, but he is preparing for rebellion in Tongzhou, maybe he is not fully prepared now, but over the years, it must have formed a terrifying climate, if Zhao Guangqing burns this fire, the entire Tongzhou and even Xishan Road will become the second Hebei Province.
