Chapter 294: The Army Is Coming
Dang Han and Liu Fenghua glanced at each other, and looked at Luo Sigong with some hesitation, they naturally knew that the five thousand people who came over from Sun Chengzong's side must have Luo Sigong's shadow.
After a slight sigh, Dang Han's voice said with some hesitation: "My lord, if this is the case, we can hand over the matter to Sun Dashuai's people, what we don't believe is the people here in Zhangjiakou." ”
"It's not that we don't believe the people here in Zhangjiakou, it's that the people here really have problems. Although I have never participated in the performance like the emperor, there are not a lot of things here in Zhangjiakou in the secret files of our Jinyi Guard. There are not a lot of people involved, and although some have retreated, the impact is still there. If it weren't for Huang Taiji's decree this time, I wouldn't have thought of coming to this place. Luo Sigong sighed softly and said helplessly.
After listening to Luo Sigong's words, Liu Fenghua pondered slightly, and asked hesitantly: "My lord, how can we get in touch with Lord Sun's soldiers and horses?" If you let them come to Zhangjiakou directly, I am afraid that they will startle the snake. ”
"The spies of the Jinyi Guard have made contact with them, and they will camp in a valley thirty miles outside of Zhangjiakou. It's secluded, so it's easy to get there. We'll be there tomorrow, and we'll have to discuss some things with them. Glancing at the two people, Luo Sigong said in a solemn tone.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Luo Sigong and Dang Han dressed up as businessmen and quietly left Zhangjiakou with more than a dozen people.
When passing by Laiyuanbao on the Zhangjiakou side, Luo Sigong couldn't help but look back a few times, between Zhangjiakou Fort and Laiyuanbao, there were countless stalls and crowds. People come and go, bustling and bustling, it can be described as very lively.
"It's really stuffed in Jiangnan. It's too prosperous, and the land south of the Yangtze River is nothing more than that! Looking at the crowd around him, Luo Sigong said with emotion.
Nodding slowly, Dang Han also said with a sigh: "This is a place of trade between the Ming Dynasty and various ethnic groups outside the border, and it can indeed be said to be prosperous." ”
"Although the Mongol Tatars are all of the same race, there are many factions among them. There are many differences. My Ming Dynasty has restrictions on who can trade, and there are also regulations on what can be traded, but I'm afraid it's already very chaotic now. The local yamen, the eunuchs guarding the town, the local border troops, and the merchants who illegally smuggled can be described as intricately intertwined. It's hard to find clues in such a complex relationship. Sighing softly, Liu Fenghua said helplessly. Apparently he was not optimistic about this errand and did not have much confidence.
The two of them listened to Liu Fenghua's words, and they both nodded approvingly, but Luo Sigong pondered for a while and said with a smile: "Don't forget what the emperor sent us to do?" We're here to catch Huang Taiji. Everything else has nothing to do with us. As for other things, we can just ask, who is going to block Lao Tzu's way in this matter, and Lao Tzu will chop him alive. ”
Seeing Luo Sigong's appearance, both of them were stunned, but after glancing at each other, both of them saw the joy on each other's faces.
Dang Han has been by Luo Sigong's side for many years, so he naturally knows something about this adult. Liu Fenghua used to be Luo Sigong's subordinate. I also know a little bit about this old boss. Both of them knew who he was, before he sat on the command of the Jinyi Guard. This one is also quite ambitious. At the same time, the means are not bright, if you want to be a good Jinyi guard, if you are not a ruthless person, you will naturally not be able to.
Luo Sigong has been in the Jinyi Guard for many years, from the tenth year of Wanli to the present, and has been sitting on the wèizhì of the commander of the Jinyi Guard for more than 30 years. Naturally, the means are needless to say. As long as you really take out the momentum of the year, coupled with the more and more spicy methods now, these miscellaneous fish in Zhangjiakou are not easy to catch.
However, the two of them didn't know that Luo Sigong had another killer feature in his heart, that is, the royal mandate of the Emperor of the Apocalypse. Luo Sigong remembered the appearance of the Emperor of the Apocalypse. I also remember the words of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go. Luo Sigong understood very well what the Emperor of the Apocalypse meant, as long as he could catch Huang Taiji at all costs. Even if all the officials in Zhangjiakou were arrested, the Emperor of the Apocalypse would be able to keep Luo Sigong. With a royal mandate like the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Luo Sigong naturally has no scruples.
Several people continued to analyze along the way, and after walking for about two hours, a few people came to the mouth of a small valley under the leadership of the Jinyi Wei secret agent.
After looking around, Luo Sigong found that this was really a good place to hide soldiers, and the beacon tower could be faintly seen on the top of the mountain. Obviously, there was a garrison here during the war, but the Ming Dynasty had a good relationship with the Mongolian tribes in recent years, and formed an alliance with the Mongolian Lin Dan Khan, and some military facilities had been abandoned.
As soon as Luo Sigong and his entourage were about to hit their horses and go inside, a group of people flew out of the valley, probably dozens of people. Everyone is wearing the Mandarin Duck armor of the Ming Dynasty, but the weapons in their hands are different.
When these people came to Luo Sigong and the others, they surrounded Luo Sigong and the others, the speed was very fast, and the movements were also very skillful. Obviously, this scene stunned Luo Sigong and the others, but they also found that these people were all elite cavalry, and there were not many such troops in the Ming Dynasty at this time.
"I don't know who it is? What's the matter up here? A general beating horse came to the front, hugged his fist at Luo Sigong, and said in a polite tone.
The three of them glanced at each other, and they all saw the incredibleness in each other's eyes, how polite they were? Aren't they the legendary ruffians? Several people couldn't help but be more curious about the person leading the troops.
"We are the people of the Jinyi Guard, and we want to see your general, and we are tired and tired." Luo Sigong didn't move, and a brocade guard who followed behind stepped forward and said politely.
Mr. Jiang was slightly stunned, but he didn't let him go, but asked quite seriously: "Do you have anything to prove your identity?" ”
The brocade guard glanced back at Luo Sigong, and when he saw Luo Sigong nodding, he took off his token on his waist. He gently held it up at the man and motioned for him to take a look.
When he saw that it was the token of the hundred households, the general manager was not sincerely afraid, but hugged his fist at a few people and said loudly: "The rules in the barracks, don't be surprised, let's go in." With that, he nodded to one of the soldiers, and the soldier rode out into the valley.
After a short time, the soldier came back again, came to the general, and whispered something in his ear.
With a fist hug at Luo Sigong and the others, the general said in a deep voice: "Several, our general is invited!" ”
Luo Sigong nodded slowly, and Luo Sigong walked in with the general manager. After arranging Luo Sigong and the others into a tent, the general manager left.
After glancing around the tent, Dang Han said with some hesitation: "My lord, there are only 5,000 people who came this time, and it stands to reason that the leader of the army is only a general soldier at most, and the grade will not be very high." Since he already knew that it was an adult who was coming today, he didn't come out to greet him, was there something wrong? ”
Luo Sigong is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, which is not a grade higher than other military attachés, and the Jinyi pro-army is not called in vain. There are many local commanders of the three grades, and there is only one commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the status cannot be the same.
Smiling indifferently, Luo Sigong said softly: "Since it didn't come out, there must be a reason why it didn't come out, I want to come to lead the team this time, the official position is not low!" ”
After a short time, footsteps sounded outside, and with a slight lift of the curtain, two people walked in outside. Walking in front was a middle-aged man, wearing armor, a red cloak behind him, and a sword at his waist, dressed as a military general. Behind him was a relatively thin man, also wearing armor, and it was clear from his clothes that this was a general soldier.
Luo Sigong was stunned when he saw the person who came in, he knew the person in front of him, according to his status, he was really inferior to himself, and he should come out to greet him, but Luo Sigong also knew that he couldn't care about it.
The man came to Luo Sigong's side, hugged his fist at Luo Sigong, and said while saluting: "He Shixian, the lowly Shenyang commander-in-chief, has seen my lord!" The arrival of the adults was not far away, and I hope that the adults will forgive their sins. ”
Gently helping He Shixian up, Luo Sigong said with a smile: "General He is polite, why should you be so polite if you and I are of the same grade." Although Luo Sigong's status is quite high, He Shixian is also a general of Zhaowu who is a third-grade person, and he is still specially rewarded by the emperor, and he can't say anything if he doesn't come out to greet Luo Sigong.
After everyone sat down, Luo Sigong explained his intention, hoping that He Shixian could guard the various traffic points to prevent Huang Taiji from escaping.
He Shixian didn't have anything, Sun Chengzong explained the qīngchu before he came, so that he listened to Luo Sigong in everything. Seeing that Luo Sigong finished speaking, He Shixian wanted to agree, but the person standing behind He Shixian came to his ear and said something.
Seeing this scene, Luo Sigong frowned, but he didn't speak, if he reprimanded this person, it would be offended He Shixian. Usually there may be nothing, but it is still not good to have any accidents at this juncture.
"Since you think so, then you can talk to Lord Luo! Sun Dashuai and I talked about Lord Luo's personality, and it doesn't matter if I think it matters. Smiling at Luo Sigong, He Shixian said in a brisk tone.
Seeing that He Shixian gagged his mouth and even lifted Sun Chengzong out, He Shixian nodded slowly and said in a deep voice: "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”
Glancing at Luo Sigong, Zhao Shujiao said in a deep voice: "Lord Luo, as the commander of the dignified Jinyi Guard, came to Zhangjiakou on behalf of the emperor, wouldn't it be a loss of face for the emperor to act like this." ”
