The next day, the fourth lady, as usual, came to the castle tower early to inspect it. Standing on the city, you can see the figures of the officers and soldiers patrolling and walking in the camp, and outside the door of the largest camp tent in the middle, a large banner with a beam character is waving and flying in the cold wind.

There is no major difference between the officers and the army and the past.

The fourth lady frowned, she always felt that something was wrong. She looked carefully at the official camp again, but still didn't find anything out of the ordinary.

At this moment, an excited voice was heard from inside the city, "Retreat!" The officers and soldiers have retreated! ”

The fourth lady followed the sound and saw a soldier rushing up the stone steps to the castle tower, panting and smiling.

"Fourth Miss, the officers and soldiers outside the South City Gate have retreated!" The soldier shouted, dancing with excitement.

The soldiers on the tower burst into cheers, and everyone shook their weapons to express their excitement. Although there were more troops in the city than outside the city, most of the Li family's army were poor farmers, and their combat strength was not even one-third of that of the Liang army.

The fourth lady was still wondering why the officials and soldiers did this, and several more people ran up to the city tower to report, and the officers and soldiers at the west and north gates also withdrew.

Hearing the news, the cheers on the city tower were even louder, and a few soldiers who were overly excited even put down their weapons and hugged the soldiers next to them warmly.

The fourth lady once again looked at the official and military camp outside the city. The main tent of the officers and soldiers was set up outside the east gate, and the officers and troops outside the other three gates were withdrawn. This is the last way of the army.

From the east and north, three armies walked far away into the tent. Under the banner of Liang characters, it converged with the camp tent. Blended together.

When you integrate together, there will be more people and more combat power.

The fourth lady's pupils shrank, and she finally realized that something was wrong. The banner of the officers and soldiers! The fourth lady knew that the commander of the official army on this expedition should be He Huchen, the chief soldier of Yansui, and the word congratulatory should be on the banner outside the big tent of the Chinese army, but no, what the fourth lady saw was a big Liang character.

The military flag is changed, or the commander is dead. Either the boss is gone. When the officers and soldiers came to Jingning City, there was no battle of the same kind, and General He was alive and well, and he would never say that he would die, so it seemed that He Huchen was really gone.

The fourth lady looked at the fluttering Liangzi banner and was stunned, and suddenly heard a smug chuckle beside her: "How?" Miss Fourth should believe that what this king said is true this time, right? ”

Zhu Zijian, who claimed to be the king of Shunyi, actually climbed the city tower at some point, looked at the banner of the Liang army and said.

Even if the fourth lady refused to believe Zhu Zijian's words, she couldn't help but be skeptical at this time. Thinking of the earth-shattering plan that Zhu Zijian once said, if it could really be as he imagined. Then Shaanxi will be full of rebel armies, and Zhu Zijian, the king of Shunyi, will be the common king of the rebel armies of all roads.

The fourth lady snorted coldly: "Even if He Huchen, the chief soldier of Yansui, really leaves, it doesn't mean that it is caused by your so-called big plan." It may be that the governor of the three sides, Wu Zhiwang, suddenly became nervous. What about deliberately transferring him? Hmph, you Ming Dynasty court has always liked to do this kind of thing. ”

Zhu Zijian didn't care. Said: "This king knows that although you refuse to admit it, you have actually believed this king's words. So. This king wants to know what the fourth lady and General Li think in their hearts. Do you want to join the king in a big move? ”

The fourth lady was still hesitating. Zhu Zijian pointed to the Liang army camp outside the city and said happily: "Look, even Xu Liang is going to retreat." ”

The camp of the Liang army outside the city of Jingning, the Liang army was collecting the military tents and assembling the army, and the rangers outside the camp suddenly increased, wandering around the camp, guarding the enemy on the city of Jingning. Outside the tent of the Chinese army, a team of Tsing Yi guards hugged Xu Liang and boarded the carriage......

Liang Jun slowly pulled out and left towards the transportation office. It was under the gaze of thousands of soldiers of the Li family army and the Shunyi army on the tower of Jingning City.

The fourth lady finally sighed and dispelled the last trace of doubt. looked at Zhu Zijian and said, "Although I still can't figure out how you did it, I'm still interested in going over with you to see the so-called big move." It's just that I, the Li family, and your Shunyi army are divided into two roads, each going their own way. ”

Zhu Zijian said: "You still don't want to believe this king." ”

The fourth lady shook her head and said, "This has nothing to do with believing it or not. I just don't want to be bothered by you. ”

Zhu Zijian's face was slightly gloomy, and he said, "How can you say this?" ”

The fourth lady said: "Although you and I are all anti-court things, my Li and my grandfather were originally hunted down and killed by the court, and we pulled up the anti-flag, and no one can say that we are not." And you are different, you were originally the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and the court treated you badly, but you instigated a group of soldiers who could not receive military salaries to defect from the court, and actually claimed to be the king of Shunyi, I don't know where your Shunyi righteousness is. If the court wants to send troops, the first thing to deal with is you, the king of Shunyi! ”

Zhu Zijian's face was gloomy, his chest rose and fell, and he snorted heavily as he watched the fourth young lady calmly walk down the city tower.

It had been more than an hour since Liang Jun left Jingning City. More than 8,000 Liang army foot soldiers walked calmly on the official road back to Pingliang, and after the foot soldiers, there were 3,000 cavalry responsible for the broken back.

A carriage walked among the footmen.

Xu Liang lifted the curtain and glanced back at the direction of Jingning City, the three thousand cavalry troops in the rear were neat, and along the way, the thieves and rebels in Jingning City did not send the rear out to follow, and the guessed battle did not appear.

However, Xu Liang couldn't figure it out, there were 40,000 horses in the city, and there were only more than 10,000 people around Xu Liang, with such a stark contrast of combat power, why didn't the people in the city chase it out? Are they too cowardly, or do they have other plans?

As soon as he rode east, he passed through a long procession of foot soldiers and came to the carriage. The soldier on the horse jumped off his horse, bowed to Xu Liang, respectfully presented an urgent letter, turned on his horse again, beat the horse and brushed the edge of the footman, returned the same way, and disappeared into the distance.

Xu Liang looked at the neat figure, nodded slightly, and thought in his heart that the spies of the Tsing Yi Guard Detective Department, which had been built with a lot of money, should be like this.

However, Xu Liang opened the letter and read it. The more Xu Liang looked at it, the more solemn his face became. After reading the letter from beginning to end, Xu Liang suddenly realized.

Yesterday, Wu Zhiwang, the governor of the three sides, suddenly sent a letter to urgently summon He Huchen, the chief soldier of Yansui, to return, and Xu Liang guessed that something big must have happened. However, Xu Liang still didn't expect that this time the matter would be so big.

In just a few days, more than a dozen uprisings broke out in Shaanxi. Fugu Wang Jiayin, Ansai Gao Yingxiang, Hannan Wang Daliang...... In just a few days, there were so many unheard-of bandit leaders on the ground in Shaanxi, Xu Liang looked at the date of the outbreak of the uprising, and the coherence was extremely close, no more than five days. If it's just a coincidence, it's too much of a coincidence!

All of a sudden, the peaks and fires in Shaanxi were everywhere, wolf smoke was everywhere, and all prefectures and counties were in an emergency. He Huchen, the chief soldier of Yansui, was recalled by Wu Zhiwang, the governor of the three sides, to lead troops to quell the chaos.

One moment it was too peaceful and stable, and the next moment more than a dozen rebel armies appeared. In the position of Xu Liang in the position of the governor of the three sides, Xu Liang would also feel a tingling in his scalp.

Suddenly, Xu Liang's heart moved, he looked back in the direction of Jingning City, raised his right hand, and said in a deep voice: "Stop!" ”

"Stop!" A series of shouts to stop were passed down by the heralds of each battalion in turn, and in a few breaths they reached the front of the Liang army's foot soldiers. At the forefront was the Liang Army Pioneer Battalion.

The pioneer officer Luo Rucai turned his horse's head and rushed to the side of the carriage, and the two generals Xing Zhongshan and Wan Wenshan also arrived one after another.

"My lord, what's wrong?" Luo Rucai asked suspiciously.

Xu Liang looked back in the direction of Jingning City, as if he wanted to see through the space separated by more than ten miles, and took in the breath of Jingning City.

"Send the scout horse back to see if there is any movement of the enemy in Jingning City." Xu Liang shouted in a deep voice, "Let's rest on the spot!" ”

Xing Zhongshan arranged for more than a dozen spies to return to Jingning City. Several Liang generals gathered around the carriage and chatted and gossiped. Xu Liang circulated the urgent letter he had just received to several people, and then told his guess.

The generals listened, although they were not willing to believe this possibility, but because this was said by Xu Liang, everyone listened in shock, and the pioneer officer Luo Rucai also smiled and said: "My lord, you are too careful, maybe it's just a coincidence." Who has the power to unite the leaders of the rebels everywhere? ”

Xu Liang couldn't think of anyone with such great ability, so he stopped guessing and waited for Tanma's reply with peace of mind.

Half an hour later, the two spies sped back.

"Your Excellency, not long after our army left Jingning City, the people in the city moved out in a big way."

"Where did you go?" Xu Liang asked.

"South."

When Xu Liang heard this, his eyes changed for a while, and suddenly the general shouted: "Go back the same way!" (To be continued......)
