Chapter 587: Harmony is precious

Yu Hengchen stood at the gate of the Broken Army camp and looked at the dozens of all-armored soldiers stationed like javelins, and couldn't help but nodded, Well, Zhao Lie's soldiers are at least good, like the adopted son of an elite soldier. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The sound of the roaring horses' hooves on the ground came from far and near, and Yu Hengchen and the servants retreated to the side, only to see more than a thousand fully armored cavalry rushing out of the camp, and the dust was blowing up along the way.

Yu Hengchen waved his sleeves to sweep away the dust, but his eyes were staring at the large number of cavalry of the Broken Army galloping away.

The bodies of these soldiers naturally rose and fell with the beating of the horses, and they were completely unaware of the stiffness and clumsiness of the soldiers' riding posture.

These soldiers all have armor all over their bodies, and even all of them have face armor, and the face armor is painted with the pattern of hideous ghost beasts, which looks fierce and abnormal, and the momentum is extremely strong, which is not comparable to other Ming armies.

The tall horses on which the cavalry sat were half a head taller than ordinary war horses, and they ran with great steps and elegant gaits.

Well, this Zhao Lie is not another general, he is willing to spend a lot of money on the army, and his intentions are huge, not a greedy and short-sighted person.

Yu Hengchen is not very old, that is, thirty years old, and at the age of twenty, he has a reputation for raising people, and his mood is quite high, but the name of Sun Shan who rushed to take the exam twice in Beijing made him a little disheartened, and his family was embarrassed, so there was no way to find a chance to enter the scene.

After the recommendation of his teacher, he had the opportunity to enter Yan Jizu, but these two years were also an errand of a pen, and his status in Yan Jizu's mind was not obvious, after all, he was too young and had little experience.

However, this time Yu Hengchen's judgment of the situation was extremely accurate, and sure enough, Zhao Lie besieged Qingzhou City, and did not commit any crimes against other regions in Shandong, and it was clear that he wanted to settle personal grievances with Liu Zeqing.

Yan Jizu was extremely afraid at this time, if he reported to the court according to Liu Zeqing's statement, then the matter would be too big, and Zhao Lie, who was accustomed to fighting, would rebel, but he could imagine the panic inside and outside the court.

The imperial court and the Son of Heaven will definitely gather a large army while sending people to continue to investigate, and in the end, well, Zhao Lie is attacking Qingzhou and facing off with Liu Zeqing because of personal grudges.

Yes, Zhao Lie's unedicted rejuvenating soldiers must be a big crime, but Zhao Lie's unedicted rejuvenating soldiers is not once or twice, he is not bad for this crime.

But Zhao Lie didn't oppose it, Yan Jizu's report was to endorse Liu Zeqing's cunning, and in the end, he left a reputation of unfavorable control and fear in the Tianzi Pavilion Elder, which can be regarded as an alternative Jane in the emperor's heart.

Yu Hengchen's advice has the effect of turning the tide for Yan Jizu's career, so far, Yu Hengchen's status in Yan Jizu's heart has risen in a straight line, and becoming the chief think tank is just around the corner.

Zhao Lie fought Liu Zeqing in Qingzhou, Yan Jizu was very happy in his heart, he was almost cheated by Liu Zeqing, a bastard, if there is a chance to make Liu Zeqing so deflated that he can't turn over, Yan Jizu will secretly clap his hands and say happy, well, secretly.

But now Zhao Lie and Liu Zeqing are fighting in Qingzhou under his rule, he can't sit idly by as the governor of Shandong, if this happens in Denglai, it will be Chen Yingyuan's business, he will definitely not interfere, it is good that they are all dead.

For this reason, this matter has to be dealt with, but in the current situation, Zhao Lie will not listen to anyone, thinking that Chen Yingyuan and Zhang Guoyuan have not been persuaded, Zhao Lie must have ignored it, he Yan Jizu does not think that his face is bigger than Chen Yingyuan.

Since Zhao Lie will not give him face to quit the army and return to Denglai, then it is impossible for him Yan Jizu to deign to come and be humiliated, if his arrival can make Zhao Lie quit, of course he has to come once, otherwise it will be too faceless.

So Yan Jizu sent Yu Hengchen for the purpose of finding out what Zhao Lie thought and what step he wanted to do in Qingzhou.

Yu Hengchen also came to the outside of Qingzhou City in a few days in a hurry, and now he was waiting for Zhao Lie's summons.

When Yu Hengchen was introduced into the big tent by the guards, Zhao Lie had just finished putting on his armor and hadn't been there for a few days, so he wanted to take a look at Qingzhou City.

Yu Hengchen saw that behind the case, a tall young general in bright white iron armor looked at him with a smile.

Yu Hengchen took a few steps forward and took a deep look, "Student Yu Hengchen pays a visit to Jing Haibo." ”

Yu Hengchen also has the pedantry of a Ming scholar, and he has always been shameless about vulgar martial artists, and the martial artists he met are indeed all greedy and vulgar martial artists, and he will never be respectful when he meets these people in Hengchen.

But in front of this person he Yu Hengchen is happy and sincere Shi Li, this warrior has been fighting to the death with the Jiannu and the Japanese for ten years, invincible and invincible, and has never been greedy for the soldiers and people under his command, this information is very clear to him in the neighboring Shandong.

The emperors and gentry of the imperial court were dissatisfied with Zhao Lie in their unruliness and disobedience to dispatch and Juntian.

No one mentions Zhao Lie's greed for ink and military salaries to oppress the people, is there such a general who drinks the blood of the soldiers who provides food and salary seeds to his subordinates, and Zhao Lie spends a lot of money on the soldiers under his command, all of which is said that Zhao Lie is greedy for ink and salary, and it is an extremely ridiculous crime to squeeze military households.

Such a military general Hengchen has never seen or heard of it, and Yu Hengchen is also extremely admired in his heart, of course, he also has his own judgment on why Zhao Lie is so different, is there another ambition.

But this did not delay him from respectfully bowing to Zhao Lie.

"Mr. Yu, please take a seat." Zhao Lie helped him and was polite.

"Mr. Yu is tired of saddle horses, you can rest in the camp now, and I will go to Qingzhou City to take a look. I'll talk to him in detail when I get back. ”

"My lord, I have a reluctant request below, can I go to Qingzhou City with the army to take a look."

Yu Hengchen smiled and arched his hand.

"Since Mr. Yu insisted on going despite the fatigue of the pommel horse, of course there is no problem, so let's go together." Zhao Lie said with a smile.

There is nothing to see, just to calm the fragile hearts of Shandong officialdom officials, and tell them that the incident in Qingzhou this time is just a personal grudge, of course, in the future, someone will bully Zhao Lie and break the army like Liu Zeqing, and it will also end in the same way, and he Zhao Lie will not bear it.

Zhao Lie and Yu Hengchen came to Qingzhou City under the entourage of five hundred guards, and Qingzhou City at this time surprised Yu Hengchen.

Qingzhou City is also a state city with nearly ten miles of bricks, but now the bricks are basically broken, revealing the rammed earth inside.

However, the speckled city bricks are stuck to the city wall like a dogskin plaster, which is extremely ugly and eye-catching, making Qingzhou City look extremely ugly.

The towering city was full of deep pits, battered pits, and the walls were full of cracks, large and small.

The current appearance of Qingzhou City is said to be a ruined city that has been abandoned for decades, and some people believe it.

Following Zhao Lie's footsteps, Yu Hengchen came to the back of the artillery position of the Broken Army, but saw dozens of swarthy steel bodies lying quietly on the ground in front of him.

Many of the soldiers of the Broken Army stepped into this position, carrying medicine packs and projectiles, and after a while they stood neatly around the cannons, waiting for the order of the general manager.

Mr. Bai trotted to Zhao Lie and said, "Bing Dashuai, all the members of the artillery team have entered the position, please show the marshal." ”

"Let's start bombarding. Pay attention to heat dissipation. Zhao Lie returned the salute and ordered.

Mr. Bai hurriedly saluted again and left.

Suddenly, the artillery began to fire a salvo, and the sound of dozens of artillery pieces roaring together was so loud and awe-inspiring.

A large puff of smoke and dust suddenly rose in front of him, and there was a faint flicker of fire in the middle, and most of the gunners were already hidden in it.

The roar of the artillery muffled all the sounds, and there was only the aftermath of the roar in Hengchen's ears, and his eardrums really hurt, making him a little dizzy in his head.

He watched with his own eyes as a large puff of smoke and dust rose from the head of Qingzhou City, a few miles away, and more than ten cannons hit the city, and the entire city head was shrouded in sand and dust and became gray.

The gunners of the Broken Army brushed their chambers, put in the medicine bags, and projectiles, and then gently compacted them, and then waited for the order of Bai Zong to light the fire rope, dozens of cannons roared again, and the walls of Qingzhou City were once again covered with dust and became looming.

Seeing the situation in front of him, Yu Hengchen said in his heart that even if he was in Liu Zeqing's position, he could only be beaten and could not fight back, until the city was bombarded by artillery, and he could either be forced to go out of the city for a decisive battle, or fight in the streets of the city.

Anyway, in the end, it was a ruin, but Lord Yan Jizu didn't want such a situation.

"Mr. Zhao, my lord sent down to ask if the lord and General Liu Zeqing can stop fighting, there are many things to talk about, and peace is precious."

Yu Hengchen arched his hand and said, of course, the words were shouted, and the voice he shouted with all his strength was barely enough for Zhao Lie to hear clearly.

"This general originally valued peace, and sent people to make peace, so that Liu Zeqing would not frame others, but this dog thief beat me out of a mess, so this general can only send a large army to crusade."

Zhao Lie spread his hands, indicating that he really can't blame me for this matter.

You seem to have beaten Liu Zeqing later to talk about people and people, Yu Hengchen slandered, of course he was not brainless enough to say that he would come out.

"My lord, how about this, Lord Zhao said the conditions for your dismissal and peace, and then went to Qingzhou on behalf of Lord Yan, and persuaded General Soldier Liu to agree, and my lord will see how it is."

This is the purpose of Yu Hengchen's coming, on the border of Shandong, the Shandong army was surrounded and beaten by the guest army Denglai army, is there anything more humiliating than this.

Yes, that is, the city was broken by the guest army Denglai army, and finally the Shandong general soldiers were captured, which was simply a shame and thrown to the whole territory of the Ming Dynasty, Yan Jizu wanted to try his best to avoid this situation.

"It seems that Lord Yan is still quite concerned about the war."

Zhao Lie smiled slightly, he was too clear about Yan Jizu's idea, to put it bluntly, it was to suppress things, once there was a problem in ancient and modern Chinese and foreign officialdom, the pressure was the first thing to be carried out, and there was no exception.

"As long as Liu Zeqing, a ruffian, can promise me a few conditions, it's not impossible for the Denglai army to withdraw."

Yu Hengchen's eyes lit up, and his heart was completed. (To be continued.) )
