On the wide official road, dust was raised in the sky, and it looked like a large cloud of smoke and dust was advancing from a distance. When the people walking on the road saw this scene, they all obediently walked to the bottom of the official road and hid far away.

For ordinary people, it must be a big team to be able to kick off such smoke and dust, and they can't afford to provoke anyone no matter who they are. Only the old people were worried, and the well-informed people and the old people knew that this was the official army of the imperial court. Moreover, this must be a relatively high status in the official army, and such a swagger is not a prestige that ordinary armies can have.

It wasn't until the smoke and dust came to the front that the people saw that there was a large group of cavalry walking in the front. Everyone rode a sturdy horse, and it was obvious that these were the best war horses. Ordinary people don't want to say that they have ridden, I am afraid they have never seen it, and the horse of the rich man in the village is compared with this, which is like your donkey in the field.

Every soldier on horseback had a serious face and a majestic bearing. The mandarin duck armor on his body shone dazzlingly under the sun, the helmet on his head fluttered in the wind, and the red cloak behind him was even more heroic. The people who saw this scene all knew in their hearts that this equipment alone was not an ordinary soldier.

The soldiers carried muskets on their backs, glowing in the cold sunlight and slender sabers at their waists. Behind the horse team were pairs of infantrymen, spears and halberds, in a heroic posture. In the center of the procession were groups of wagons, all covered with thick adhesive cloth, and it was impossible to see what was inside. The whole procession walked for more than half an hour before passing here, which shows that there are many people.

In the middle of the procession, countless flags fluttered in the wind, and the big banner in the center read: Qincha Inspector Shisun. At this time, Sun Chuanting was sitting on the horse, and his young face was written with maturity, which made people dare not underestimate it at first glance.

glanced at the old man beside him. Sun Chuanting smiled lightly, this is the assistant sent to him by the Emperor of the Apocalypse. At the beginning, Sun Chuanting was quite unimpressed, and he had never heard of Yuan Keli's character. Later, I inquired and learned that this Lang Zhong, who was in the military department 26 years ago, had a very good set of marching and fighting. If it weren't for the Wanli Emperor who was angered by Shangshu, he might not have been in a position at this time.

The most important thing is that this Yuan Daren's protégé is all over the court. Twenty-six years after being demoted, there are still people recommending it. In the past 26 years, there have been people who have been promoted, and this ability is not without horror. Because of the direct admonition of Yan back then, this Lord Yuan also has a lot of status in Qingliu. After getting these news, Sun Chuanting immediately put away his contempt.

However, in Sun Chuanting's opinion, Yuan Keli is indeed a little older, in his fifties. But soon Sun Chuanting was shocked, this Lord Yuan's hand was very sharp, and the horse rode much better than himself. Sun Chuanting handed over all the logistics matters to Yuan Keli, and Lord Yuan didn't say anything, but the matter of grain and grass supply was well organized. Where the armies passed. Even if you are not an acquaintance of Lord Yuan, you have heard of it, and it is very face-saving.

"Lord Yuan, at this speed, how long will it take for the army to reach Sichuan?" Glancing at Yuan Keli, Sun Chuanting asked with a smile. At this time, he already understood why the Emperor of the Apocalypse had arranged Yuan Keli by his side, and having such a person really saved him a lot of trouble.

Yuan Keli smiled indifferently, for this young Sun Chuanting. He was also a little unimpressed at first. thought that this was the minister favored by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, but this ability may not be there. I even want to go to the Emperor of the Apocalypse. However, when he saw the people and horses in Jingying, of course, his contempt was gone, and his heart was full of admiration.

Although he has not been in the court for more than 20 years, Yuan Keli knows very well about the things in the court. As for what the people and horses of the three major battalions were like, Yuan Keli had a good idea in his heart. But seeing the three battalions again, Yuan Keli knew that this had become a capable army. Although there is still a gap between it and the Northern Frontier Army. But after really fighting a few times, it doesn't necessarily mean that you can't become the elite of a hundred battles.

"At this rate, it will take at least half a month, and I hope that the situation in Sichuan will not develop out of control!" Yuan Keli glanced at the sergeant beside him, and the expression on his face was quite gloomy.

Sun Chuanting shook his head with a smile. He said with confidence: "No, my Ming Dynasty is not without an army in Sichuan, even if it is a rebellion by Tusi, it will not be able to become a climate in a short time." ”

Seeing Sun Chuanting say this, Yuan Keli was noncommittal and did not speak. He knew very well in his heart that although the army of the Ming Dynasty was quite numerous, there were really not many who could fight. Except for the border army in northern Xinjiang, the military horses of the Nanjing battalion may be worthy of a battle, and the rest are rotten to the bone. Sun Chuanting has such an understanding, which is also expected by Yuan Keli, after all, Sun Chuanting is so young.

smiled indifferently, Sun Chuanting saw Yuan Keli's expression and knew that this Lord Yuan was probably different. After a slight sigh, Sun Chuanting said in a deep voice: "Does Lord Yuan think that I am very optimistic about the soldiers in Sichuan?" ”

Listening to Sun Chuanting's words, Yuan Keli was stunned for a moment, obviously Sun Chuanting was not what he thought. Facing Sun Chuanting, Yuan Keli said in a deep voice: "Please teach Master Sun!" "Yuan Keli is an upright person, Sun Chuanting is his boss in name, and he is really capable, Yuan Keli will not rely on the old and sell the old.

After being slightly stunned, seeing the sincerity on Yuan Keli's face, Sun Chuanting hurriedly replied: "Don't be like this, my lord, it's a shame for Sun." The adult is the pillar of the country, working hard for the country, although by chance, now that the Ming monarch is in power, he will be able to rise to the top in a few days. Chuanting is still very young, and there are many things that adults need to mention! ”

The two of them glanced at each other, and they all laughed, and the two people, one old and one young, suddenly had a feeling of sympathy for each other in their hearts.

After laughing, Sun Chuanting said in a deep voice: "Lord Yuan doesn't know that as early as half a month ago, the emperor summoned Qin Liangyu, the envoy of Shi Yanxuanfu, in the palace. That time, the court was fortunate to see this white pole soldier led by Qin Liangyu, although there were only 20,000 people, but it could be seen that all of them were elites of a hundred battles. I believe that they have returned to Sichuan at this time, even if there is any intention, there will be no problem with them. ”

thought that after saying this, Yuan Keli would be happier, but Sun Chuanting was obviously wrong. Although Yuan Keli's expression was not worried, he was very depressed and looked very depressed. Sun Chengzong was suddenly a little confused, and asked in a deep voice, "Lord Yuan, what's wrong?" ”

"Lord Sun, I have been a country for more than 200 years, and the two emperors of Taizu and Chengzu have chased the Northern Yuan Dynasty in the north, and the military power is so strong. Now there are Jiannu in northern Xinjiang, and there are Tusi in Sichuan who want to rebel, and the imperial court actually relies on Xuanfu envoys to hold on to the territory. The old man didn't know what to say, what happened to the Ming Dynasty? Shaking his head with a wry smile, Yuan Keli's expression was quite lonely, and his face became ugly.

After listening to Yuan Keli's words, Sun Chuanting suddenly became excited, and faintly felt that Yuan Keli was his confidant. He hugged his fist at Yuan Keli and said loudly: "Lord Yuan has the world in his heart, and he admires it!" ”

Yuan Keli didn't speak, the expression on his face was still a little lonely, obviously this knot would not be able to be solved for a while.

"Lord Yuan, the reign of the Holy Son of Heaven, Shenyang has achieved a great victory this year, and Lord Sun, the first assistant of the cabinet, is sitting in northern Xinjiang, and he will soon be able to plow the court and sweep the caves. As for Sichuan here, Qin Liangyu is not a foreign toast, don't be wrong. ”

Sun Chuanting's words made Yuan Keli stunned, Yuan Keli naturally knew about the great victory in Liaodong and Sun Chengzong. Yuan Keli, who has learned more about the war in Shenyang, admires Sun Chengzong, this is definitely a rare figure. As for Qin Liangyu, he didn't know, so he looked at Sun Chuanting inquiringly.

Laughing loudly, Sun Chuanting said in a deep voice: "Because of my curiosity about the white pole soldiers, I deliberately inquired about it, and told Lord Yuan if there was nothing to do on the road." Qin Liangyu's maiden family is the Qin family of Zhongzhou, and Qin Ansi, the ancestor of Zhaoqian, moved from Macheng County, Hubei Province to Sichuan in order to escape the harsh government of Meng Yuan, and his descendants live in Zhongxian and other places. Qin Liangyu is the ninth granddaughter of Qin Ansi. Later, Marrying Shizhu Xuanfu made Ma Qiancheng his wife, she inspired her husband and helped him establish a "Rong Wu Suran" white pole soldiers who were feared by far and near in Shizhu. As for Ma Qiancheng, although he is the envoy of Shizhu Xuanfu, his ancestral home is Fufeng, Shaanxi, and he is a descendant of Ma Dinghu, the thirty-ninth grandson of Ma Yuan, the general of Han Fubo. All the stone pillar Xuanfu envoys are all Han Chinese, so adults don't have to worry about this! ”

thought that after listening to his words, Yuan Keli's mood would be better, but Sun Chuanting didn't expect that Yuan Keli's face still had a lonely expression. After a long time, Yuan Keli said in a deep voice: "Although Shizhu Tusi is a Han person, but they are led by Han soldiers?" ”

This question made Sun Chuanting stunned, the ancestors of the Ma family were Han Chinese, and they still regard themselves as looking at people. But many of them are different in different places, and the current Ma family is the most influential family in the local Tujia, which can be described as a big tree with deep roots. Naturally, the soldiers and horses they commanded were not the soldiers and horses of the Han people, but the soldiers and horses of the Tujia people.

Seeing that Sun Chuanting didn't speak, Yuan Keli sighed lightly and said in a deep voice: "Sichuan is a frontier land, where all ethnic groups live together, and the situation is complicated. Whether it's the Stone Pillar Xuanfu Envoy you are talking about, or other Xuanfu Envoys, it's not a good thing to be too powerful. Maybe they are loyal to the court now, but who will say in the future? Only when the army of the imperial court is unrivaled there can it ensure long-term peace and stability! ”

Sun Chuanting was stunned, lowered his head and thought about Yuan Keli's words, he seemed to have figured it out, but he didn't seem to have figured it out.

Sighing softly, Yuan Keli said in a deep voice: "Strength will breed ambition, and it is not okay for anyone's strength to be above the imperial court, that is an unstable factor." Whether it is a foreigner or a Han Chinese, this has been the case throughout the ages. ”
