Sun Defu came to the gate of the city every day to wait for Luo Cheng and his subordinates.

Seeing Sun Defu coming up, the defenders knew that this force should have withdrawn from Quang Ninh City.

Then the defenders saw Sun Defu suddenly kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to the northeast, and seeing Sun Defu's actions, the defenders' hearts suddenly sank, and they all knew that Luo had always suffered an accident.

As a soldier, he hopes to follow a general who is sympathetic to his subordinates, Luo has always let the wounded soldiers retreat first, and he personally led the troops to break the rear, he is undoubtedly a general who is sympathetic to his subordinates. For such a general, even if it is not his subordinates, the soldiers sincerely admire and respect.

Then the defenders saw Sun Defu suddenly get up, slapped the person in front of him, and then was stopped by a general, and then saw Sun Defu kneeling in front of the person he had just beaten and kowtowing.

Although the distance was a little far away, the defenders could not see the man's eyebrows clearly, but the clothes on the man's body could still be seen clearly, that is, the clothes of an ordinary soldier.

Seeing Sun Defu kneeling in front of such a person and kowtowing, the defenders couldn't help but be a little confused.

They all knew that Sun Defu was the commander, and he was the commander of Luo's personal guard battalion.

Of course, the general level is not high, but a general like Sun Defu, who commands the deputy chief soldier and guards the battalion, no one will change it even if he is given a thousand generals.

Because everyone knows that the so-called personal guard battalion is the main general's family soldiers, and the family soldiers who can command the main general are definitely the main general's cronies. Ordinary Qian always has to nod his head when he sees such a general, even if he is a general like a garrison guerrilla, he has to greet him affectionately.

But now Sun Defu actually knelt in front of a person wearing ordinary soldier's clothes and kept kowtowing?

Just when the defenders were puzzled, they saw that the man pulled Sun Defu up, and then naturally patted Sun Defu on the shoulder and said a few words. Then he saw Sun Defu leading the way and walking towards the city gate.

Then the defenders discovered something even more amazing.

This man in ordinary soldier's clothes actually stood in the middle of the generals, and the two generals next to him even fell half a step behind, intentionally or unintentionally.

Without waiting for the defenders to figure out what was going on, they heard Sun Defu shouting under the city: "Mr. Xu Qian, please let the brothers under the city open the city gate, these brothers are withdrawn from Guangning City." ”

Shanhaiguan is an important place for city defense, so naturally people cannot be let in casually, and the soldiers guarding the city need to verify their identities before they can be released.

Hearing Sun Defu call the door, an officer in the city beckoned the soldiers at the city gate to open the city gate and let a few people in.

Immediately, the heavy gates of the city slowly opened.

Seeing the city gate open, Sun Defu asked the soldiers to stand by, and then led Yang He and others into the city gate.

As soon as the men entered the city gate, the soldiers hurriedly closed the gate.

Yang He couldn't help but nod secretly, the vigilance of these soldiers was quite high.

Sun Defu took Yang He and others to an officer and said: "Mr. Xu Qian, my brother will introduce you to him, this is Hei Yunhe, the general of Xipingbao, these two are the guerrilla generals Li Maochun and Zhang Mingxian, and this is Yang He and Yang Qianzong." ”

Then Sun Defu said to Hei Yunhe and the others: "This is President Xu Qian, the city guard here. ”

Hearing that Yang He was just a thousand presidents, Xu Qian was taken aback, but he quickly came to his senses, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Humble Xu Chengzu, I have seen several generals." ”

Hei Yunhe and the others hurriedly returned the salute with their fists, and then each took out their own waist cards and handed them to Xu Chengzu.

Xu Chengzu took the waist card and looked at it, then handed it back to Hei Yunhe and the others, and then said with a smile: "Generals, it is not unreasonable to be despicable, it is really a duty, and I hope to bear with it." ”

Black Cloud Crane smiled and nodded.

Xu Chengzu hugged his fists, turned around and ordered the soldiers to open the city gate and let the soldiers outside enter the city.

There is a moat outside Shanhaiguan City, and you must take a suspension bridge to cross the moat.

Naturally, the drawbridge will not be very wide, and if the soldiers rush up, it is easy to squeeze people down the moat.

In the past, when those troops entered the city, they all swarmed up, and many soldiers were squeezed off the moat.

Although it is winter, and the river is frozen with a layer of ice, and you will not die if you fall into the river, it is nearly two meters high from the bridge to the ice, and it is not easy to fall down.

The formation of the troops outside is chaotic, and if you go like this, there is no doubt that someone will definitely fall off the moat.

The defenders in the city were about to see the excitement, when they suddenly saw Hei Yunhe and others beckoning, and saw that the soldiers who were still standing in a mess just now and did not have a little formation suddenly divided into four teams, and then walked up the drawbridge one after another and entered the city gate.

Then the defenders saw a novelty, one of the four teams had only more than twenty people, and the other three teams were all five or six hundred people.

Seeing such a formation, the defenders were confused for a while.

When these people slowly entered the city, more than 100 people drove more than 100 carts into the city gate.

Seeing Xu Chengzu looking at the grain on the car, Yang He smiled, ordered the soldiers to unload the two carts of grain, and then said to Xu Chengzu: "Mr. Xu Qian, the brothers are working hard to defend the city, and these grains are worth thanking." ”

Xu Chengzu hurriedly said: "These grains are all brought back from the front line by the brothers, how can we collect the rations of the brothers?" ”

Yang He smiled and said: "It's not bad for these two cars, and the military salaries of the brothers are also limited, and Brother Xu can also subsidize the family if they share these grains with the brothers." ”

Xu Chengzu smiled: "Then brother is welcome, Xu brothers thank you." ”

Yang He smiled and hugged his fist at Xu Chengzu.

After entering Dongluo City, he passed through the urn city outside the main city, and finally came to the main city gate.

Standing under the city gate, Yang He stared at the plaque hanging above the city gate.

Although Yang He doesn't know calligraphy, but the five words in the first pass of the world are written magnificently, and when he sees these five words, he only feels a sense of grandeur.

After re-identifying themselves under the city, everyone entered the Shanhaiguan.

However, everyone was not arranged in Shanhaiguan City.

Because Shanhaiguan is an important military town, the defeated troops are arranged in the city, and once there is a war, these people will shake the morale of the troops defending the city.

Of course, it is even more impossible to resettle refugees in cities.

There are hundreds of thousands of refugees who have fled from outside the customs, not to mention that Shanhaiguan cannot resettle so many people, and even if they can be resettled, how can they be arranged in a place like Shanhaiguan?

The refugees were resettled in Tuntian in the area from Shanhaiguan to Tianjinwei, while the defeated troops were resettled in the northwest of Shanhaiguan.

The reason why the rout is placed here is because it is very close to Shanhaiguan and it is convenient to recruit and deploy, and in addition, the north of this area is a mountainous area, which is very desolate, there are no people at all, and the rout has nowhere to spread wild.

Sun Defu and the others did not camp with other troops, but chose a location close to the foot of the mountain.

The camp is small in size, surrounded by a wooden fence, and dozens of tents stand inside.

The camp tent was urgently transferred by the imperial court, and because Sun Defu and others withdrew to Shanhaiguan late, the camp tent had already been transported, so it was not frozen after returning.

Yang He and others verified their identities at Shanhaiguan and after checking the number of people, they also received a batch of tents.

Seeing that there were only a few dozen tents in the camp, Yang He asked, "What about the families of those soldiers?" Where are they placed? ”

Sun Defu hurriedly said: "They were placed in Funing County. ”

"Funing County? How far is it from here? Yang He asked.

"Not far, about seventy miles." Sun Defu said.

After a pause, Sun Defu continued: "These people were arranged in Funing County because they were the families of soldiers, and if they were ordinary people, they didn't know where they would be arranged. ”

Yang He nodded slightly.

Looking at Yang He, Sun Defu said again: "I left Mrs. Liu's mother and daughter, and dozens of people saved by Mr. Qianzong also let me stay." ”

Saying that, Sun Defu turned around and pointed in the direction: "In the innermost, I arranged for soldiers to protect me, no one dares to disturb, do you want to go over and have a look?" ”

Yang He waved his hand: "Don't go, arrange for the brothers to eat first." ”

Sun Defu nodded, ordered the soldiers to cook immediately, and then took Yang He and Hei Yunhe and others into his tent, and ordered the soldiers to fetch water for Yang He and others to wash their hands and faces.

After washing his face, Yang He sat down in the tent, and then asked, "Have you heard of how the imperial court dealt with Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen?" ”

"I heard that the two were dismissed as soon as they came back, and now what about the capital, as for how the court disposes of the two, I haven't heard of it." Sun Defu said.

"Then who is the new Liaodong Economic Strategy?" Yang He asked.

Sun Defu pouted and said: "Zhang Heming, the secretary of the Ministry of War, this old boy strongly recommended Wang Huazhen to serve as the Liaodong Economic Strategy, but he didn't expect Wang Huazhen to lose Guangning, this old boy was afraid that the emperor would condemn him, so he took the initiative to ask to come to Liaodong to serve as the Liaodong Economic Strategy." ”

After a pause, Sun Defu scolded: "Damn, it's only more than 300 miles from the capital to Shanhaiguan, and this dog day has not arrived after more than ten days." ”

Yang He waved his hand, turned his head to look at Hei Yunhe and said, "Shen Rong, do you know Zhang Heming?" ”

Black Cloud Crane shook his head: "I don't know very well. ”

Yang He smiled: "Let's hear it." ”

Hei Yunhe thought for a while and said: "This person is from Jinshi, a Jinshi in the Wanli period, as for which subject, I don't know."

This person served as the magistrate of the county, and also served as the head of the Nanjing Military Department, and later served as the governor of Guizhou, and I heard that the rebels were pacified in Guizhou. In the first year of the Apocalypse, that is, last year, he was promoted to the secretary of the military department. ”

Yang He frowned when he heard this: "Just because he has quelled the rebels, he was appointed as the secretary of the military department?" Judging from his support for Wang Huazhen and opposition to Xiong Tingbi, this person doesn't know how to fight at all! ”

Heiyunhe smiled bitterly: "Few of those people in the imperial court know how to fight. ”

Yang He nodded silently when he heard this.

After a while, Yang He said, "Sam Rong, after eating for a while, give the silver to these brothers." ”

Black Cloud Crane nodded: "What about the families of those brothers who died in battle?" ”

Yang He said: "Let's go to Funing County tomorrow, well......"

As he spoke, Yang He turned his head to look at Sun Defu and said, "By the way, Brother Sun, the roster of the army is in your hands, right?" ”

"I'll give it to you right away." Sun Defu said busily.

After speaking, Sun Defu took out a few rosters from under his luggage and handed them to Yang He.

Yang He handed it to Hei Yunhe and said, "Sam Rong, after eating, let people verify the list of brothers who died in battle." ”

Black Cloud Crane nodded and took the roster.
