Xu Liang scoffed at the exclamation of the prince.

"Lord Xu, in my Ming Army, women are forbidden to enter." The prince shouted indignantly.

"Father-in-law, this is my Liang Jun's troupe, not the kind of woman you imagined." Xu Liang was silent for a while, and replied lightly.

"No matter what kind of woman it is, in short......" The prince was still arguing, and suddenly closed his mouth, only to see Lou Xian'er's clothes fluttering, like a butterfly flying in the flowers, passing through the stage, jumping over the simple railing of the stage, running to Xu Liang with a flutter, exhaling like an orchid: "...... Seen the Great General. ”

Xu Liang smiled slightly, and smiled at the prince: "Father-in-law, this is the dance teacher of the Liang Jun Opera Troupe, Lou Xian'er." ”

"I've seen the princess." Lou Xian'er gracefully blessed and said sweetly.

The prince was still in a daze, and Pingliang guerrilla Dai Feng explained: "Lou Jiaoxi is also the third lady of the Xu Mansion. ”

The prince was dumbfounded, pointing at Xu Liang for a long time and was speechless.

Lou Xian'er smiled, took a step forward, accompanied Xu Liang's side, and said as she walked: "General, how is Xian'er's improved dance?" Can you still get into the eyes of your old man? ”

"General, general, improvised, improvised......" Xu Liang replied.

The appearance of the opera troupe in the army subverted the prince's consistent perception of the Ming army, and he walked around the barracks in a fog, and when he left the barracks, the prince did not completely recover from the shock.

Out of the barracks, several people stood outside the gate of the Pingliang guerrilla barracks, Lou Xian'er had already returned to the troupe, and Xu Liang and Dai Feng were talking.

"Our Liang army is ready for everything, and three days later we will go to Jingning Prefecture. Pingliang City has been surging in the dark tide recently, and it is not very stable. General Dai guards the rear and should be careful. Make sure nothing goes wrong. Xu Liang leaned his hands behind his back, his eyes fell on the shadowy eaves in the distance of Pingliang City, and his face was gloomy.

Pingliang guerrilla general Dai Feng clenched his fists with both hands violently, and the armor on his whole body rattled, "Please rest assured that the general will live up to the general's trust." ”

"Come slowly, come slowly...... Wang Gonggong heard that the shape was wrong, and hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt Dai Feng, and asked in surprise: "Doesn't General Dai go out with the army?" ”

Dai Feng replied in a deep voice: "It will be arranged by the general." The last general stayed in Pingliang and was not a general. ”

Wang Gonggong looked at Xu Liang, his face changed slightly, "Lord Xu, what's going on?" ”

Xu Liang didn't retract his gaze, glanced at the prince and smiled, "The Pingliang guerrilla battalion has the heavy responsibility of guarding Pingliang, how can it be used lightly?" The officer never said that he would send guerrilla soldiers into battle. ”

The prince was stunned. After a while, I remembered something, and suddenly shouted angrily: "In that case, what is Lord Xu doing with our family in this guerrilla barracks?" See how Liang Jun practiced? Or look at the broken stage in the army? ”

Xu Liang blinked. With a confused look, "Father-in-law seems surprised to learn that General Dai is not going to fight?" ”

"I ......" the prince was angry. Xindao What our family wants to see is the preparation of the Liang army, what do you take our family to see in an army that is not in the case of going out at all?

"Doesn't my father-in-law think that I am a drama troupe in the Liang army. In the entire Ming Dynasty, it is also considered a pioneering achievement? Xu Liang said smugly again.

"I, I don't reason with you!" The prince's face was very bad. Ignoring Xu Liang's smug look, he brushed his sleeves away.

Wang Gonggong walked out of the road for a while, and heard Xu Liang shouting behind him: "Three days later, outside the north gate of Pingliang, swear to send troops, don't forget it!" ”

The prince was stunned, did not look back, did not respond, and hurried away.

Xu Liang and Dai Feng stood quietly outside the camp gate for a while, and Dai Feng finally asked, "My lord, what are you worried about?" In fact, at first, Dai Feng's guerrilla army was ordered to go with the army, but a few days ago, Xu Liang suddenly ordered the guerrilla battalion to be responsible for the defense of Pingliang City. Dai Feng vaguely guessed that there must be something new in it.

Xu Liang retracted his gaze faintly, stayed on Dai Feng for a while, sighed lightly, and said: "At Wang Tiqian's reception banquet, Andong Zhongwei Ye Yanqing suddenly went crazy and asked for orders to defend the city...... This officer is worried that after the guerrilla barracks are transferred, some people will not be able to hold back and jump out to make trouble. ”

Dai Feng listened, was silent for a while, and suddenly asked again: "What if...... The situation is uncontrollable, what should I do? ”

Xu Liang's expression changed, he pondered for a long time, and said with a fierce expression: "The six thousand Liang troops in Pingliang City, if you can't control the situation, it can only mean that you are cowardly and incompetent!" ”

Dai Feng is not only Dai Feng, but also the father of Dai Yingying, the second lady of Xu Fu, Xu Liang's words are too ugly, but Dai Feng's face is as usual, he can't see the slightest embarrassment, and still asks persistently: "It's not difficult to control the situation, I'm afraid I'm afraid that the smell of blood is too strong." ”

Xu Liang sneered, stared at Dai Feng and said, "In order to achieve the goal, how many people die, what is the point of killing a few people?" What's the point of a river of blood? ”

"The Admiral understands."

On November 5 of the first year of Chongzhen, Pingliang Tongzhi Xu Liang personally led 20,000 infantry of the Liang army, 3,000 cavalry, and seven artillery pieces, and sent troops to Jingning Prefecture. Banners hunting, swords and guns are like a forest, and the marching team is not in sight.

Among the marching Chinese army, there was a special team of hundreds of people, with green clothes, green hats and black cloaks, embroidered auspicious clouds and flying eagles on their chests, carrying waist knives in their hands, sharp eyes, vigilantly guarding one of the carriages. Surprisingly, the driver of the car was actually a young woman in a black neckcoat, the woman held the reins in one hand, looked ahead, and occasionally turned her head sideways into the car and talked.

Marching spies on fast horses traveled through the long marching procession, reporting the latest news to the owner of the carriage.

"I didn't expect that Li Jiajun actually had the courage to set up an ambush in the middle of the road." Xu Liang leaned in the car and sighed. He was alone in the car, so he naturally said this to the woman who was driving the car.

Dai Yingying turned around and said: "With the cavalry battalion and the vanguard battalion exploring the way ahead, even if a small group of thousands of thieves successfully set up an ambush, what effect can they have?" ”

"Can't you see that you have a lot of confidence in our Liang Jun?"

"You also said that the thieves are scary to look at, and the actual combat effectiveness is very low, according to the combat power of our Liang army, if you want to pacify the thieves, you should have calmed down a month ago." Dai Yingying's voice was not slow or urgent, and she said with a chuckle: "If it weren't for Xianggong, you would have to take into account other reasons......

Xu Liang was silent.

A fast horse rushed to the carriage, and the Dongchang fan on the horse clenched his fists and said: "Lord Xu, the prince ordered to speed up the march." ”

Xu Liang yawned in the car, waved his hand unhappily and said: "My Liang army has 20,000 foot soldiers, even if you don't hesitate to use horsepower, you have to take into account manpower, fast or not, Jingning City is there, and you won't fly with wings!" Back to the prince, our army is already trying to speed up, no matter how fast it is. ”

When the fan on the horse heard this, he frowned, but finally didn't say anything, arched his hand, and beat the horse back.

Dai Yingying said a little uneasily: "Xianggong, Gonggong Wang is the head of the third stall of Dongchang, and he is the main envoy of the bandits, it is not good for you to have a stiff relationship with him, give him some face." ”

Xu Liang snorted lightly, with a look of disgust, "If it weren't for the Holy Decree appointing him as a righteous envoy, otherwise I wouldn't have paid attention to him." This kind of person has not achieved enough things, has more than enough failures, and embezzled 20,000 taels of silver from me! ”

"Xianggong, is he the third stall head of the East Factory?" Dai Yingying kindly reminded.

"What happened to the East Factory? Isn't the third gear head great? Xu Liang sneered: "Your father-in-law, I am still the general of the Liang army, Pingliang is the same as the family, and there are hundreds of households in Jinyi!" ”

A few hours later, the Liang army arrived at the east gate of Jingning Prefecture, 3,000 Liang cavalry patrolled the periphery, 20,000 Liang infantry according to their respective phalanxes, assembled outside the city, more than 20,000 Liang soldiers looked at the last city in the hands of this thief with cold eyes.

The gate of Jingning City is closed, a long and deep trench has been dug outside the city gate, the passing drawbridge has been put away, I don't know where to put it, the city wall is obviously heightened, the boundary between the old and new city bricks can be seen clearly under the afterglow of the setting sun, the city tower is full of thieves and soldiers defending the city, staring nervously at the Liang army array under the city, the archers stretch their bows and arrows, pay attention to the Liang cavalry that may be close to the firing range, and the two cannons on the city tower reveal a corner of the black muzzle, The leaders of the Li family army in the city all gathered on the tower of the east city gate, Li Xinbei's eyes narrowed into a line, indifferently looked at the Liang army under the city, and his eyes fell on the carriage under the banner of the Chinese army, I don't know what to think.

When Li Xinbei was looking at the carriage, Xu Liang on the carriage was also looking at the city carefully. His eyes fell on the dividing line between the old and new city bricks, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Wang Gonggong, as the main envoy of this attack and suppression of bandits, also sat in a gorgeous carriage, he looked at the closed city gate for a while, then turned to Xu Liang and said: "Lord Xu, the thieves were forced by the cavalry of the Liang army, and they all returned to Jingning City, and they wanted to fight the trapped beasts. Our soldiers are approaching the city, and the momentum is like a rainbow, and the troops should be divided to guard the four city gates to prevent the thieves from escaping. ”

Xu Liang glanced at the prince coldly, yawned again, as if he hadn't woken up, raised his eyes and glanced at the sun that was about to set, and waved his hand at the herald casually and said: "It's getting late today, and the herald orders all battalions to retreat five miles, set up camp, and recuperate for tomorrow's battle!"
