Chapter 54: Chen Hong's Inspection

At the same time, Qi Jingtong's troops were divided into three routes, sending 5,000 soldiers and horses on the left and right to go around to the sides, preparing to meet with long-range weapons and short-range weapons to destroy the other party. However, after running four or five miles, the artillery fire still headed towards the middle and rear of Qi Jingtong's department as if he had eyes. And the sound of fighting came from both sides, listening to the movement, the two sides had already exchanged fire, even if their own soldiers were too poor, but according to the previous inference, now there are only three or four thousand people left in the Lu family's army, and it is estimated that there are one to two thousand people on both sides, and five thousand people are against it, no matter how it will affect the Lu family's army. But why the artillery fire is still continuing, it is possible that the previous estimates are all wrong, and the soldiers and horses that are discharged to kill the enemy on both sides are not a threat at all! Xu Yang didn't divide his troops at all!

As if to respond to Qi Jingtong's speculation, at this moment, the front was bright, and rows of soldiers formed a formation with spear chariots and firearms and crossbows, blocking Qi Jingtong's way forward. Under the protection of the soldiers in the middle, isn't that general Xu Yang, the commander of the Lu family's army?

Qi Jingtong was furious, he knew what he was planning, and then looked around, the number of Lu Jiajun had exceeded his expectations, and the continuous artillery fire should be that Lu Jiajun did not divide his troops. I was wrong, I gave Xu Yang an ambush, and today Xu Yang returned it, it is really a retribution reincarnation that has been tried and tested repeatedly.

At this moment, there is only one fight, Qi Jingtong smiled bitterly, it seems that it is not Xu Yang's stubborn resistance, but his last blow. After laughing, Qi Jingtong's face was straight, he took out his sword and pointed it directly at Xu Yang, and shouted: "Soldiers, come with me, shoot people first, shoot horses, capture thieves first, capture kings, rush!" ”

—————————————————————————————————————

The soldiers and horses of Shuntianfu had already left Shuntianfu and were preparing to attack Shandong. All the remaining combat troops in the entire Shuntian Mansion entered the outer city of the capital. As long as you enter Shandong and exterminate Lu Bing's lair, as long as you hold the capital. That's victory. But the premise of this qiē is to hold the capital and ensure that Zhu Houxi is still alive.

The military discipline in the capital is strict, and everyone does not dare to relax, although they know that the Lu family army has been outnumbered, but it is inevitable that they will have lingering palpitations about Lu Bing's supernatural powers, and they also think of the scene when the Wendou monk and the sword king Cui Ying broke into the capital a few years ago. In case Lu Binggou jumped over the wall in a hurry, he found someone in the rivers and lakes to rush into it. It was inevitably another bloody storm.

The military department of the capital is tightly guarded, and the palace is thoroughly inspected every hour to prevent assassins from having secret passages. And Chen Hong is not only responsible for the security of the palace. It is also responsible for the investigation of the inner and outer cities of the capital. To prevent Wei He's spies from infiltrating the city, spies were found out every day, which made Chen Hong not only not have a trace of joy, but also worried. Because these spies are endless, it seems that there is no end to them. And once it really drove them to jump off the wall. Chen Hong still feels better, but now everyone is very calm, which makes Chen Hong even more uncertain. Only when victory is in sight or when there is an advantage in sight will people be so calm. Wei He, Wei He, how big are you, and how many people under your command are wrapped up in today's Jingshi?

Chen Hong sat in the sedan chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, spying in his heart one by one. After all, Wei He is really powerful. No matter how tortured the spies who are caught today, they either bite their tongues and commit suicide or take poison to commit suicide. Now the spies have also gained experience, and after coming up to subdue them, they first knock off their jaws to prevent biting poison funds, and then take off their arms to prevent other suicide possibilities. But even so, there are still many people who would rather die than recruit, and even one person refused to eat and starved to death in prison, I really don't know why Wei He trained such a group of good subordinates. In the end, they finally pried open the teeth of the two, but the two could only confess their upline, and Chen Hong didn't have much hope, so he sent troops to the building, and the building was already empty.

The Lu family's intelligence network is a very independent organization, not as rich as the Ming intelligence department, although the Lu family's intelligence department is involved in various fields, it has also inherited some of the essence of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, such as the cunning rabbit three holes and the inability to contact the superiors in a straight line, etc., once something happens, one party will definitely not implicate too many people.

No matter what Chen Hong thought, among the city defense soldiers, there was a small flag looking at the sedan chair, and the corners of his mouth showed a slight mocking smile.

"Liu San, hurry up, Baihu asked us to work." Xiaoqi said to Liu San, and Liu San retracted his gaze from Chen Hong's sedan chair. Liu San is also a small banner, he has been in the army for half a year, he has seen everything very thoroughly, he can talk and do things, and he is not stingy, so he has also been promoted to a small banner in just half a year.

Liu San gathered his subordinates and rushed to Baihu together, and along the way, Liu San greeted the National People's Congress, showing his good popularity in the army. It is said that last month Liu San also gave his sister to a thousand households as a big girl, thousands of households are very fond of it, it is estimated that they may receive a foreign house, and then Liu San will become the uncle of a thousand households, so he must not give a hundred households to do it. Therefore, most people in the army are very stammered with Liu San, but everyone does not look down on Liu San because of this, not only because Liu San can be a man, and he is not arrogant or bored at all, but also because people die for money, birds die for food, and now they not only find a good family for their sister, but also let themselves climb the high branches, why not? Everyone only sighed that they didn't have a sister, and some also sighed that their sister-in-law was not good-looking, so it was really good to send their concubine to it, but they were afraid that they would not be close to themselves, but they would fall into the well and turn against each other, so they were even more envious of Liu San.

Liu San and three or four small flags arrived in the accounts of the hundred households, although the hundred households have official authority but they are quite approachable, especially for Liu San, because Liu San is likely to be on an equal footing with himself in the near future, and he is very good at doing things without being proud of himself, so he should pay special attention to it, and it is okay to do some simple errands.

Baihu said to everyone: "After a while, Lord Chen, the governor of Dongchang Factory, came down to inspect the city defense for the emperor, and you should cheer up a lot, not to mention that the loess mat road is clean and water-splashing, but it must also be kept clean." Lord Qianhu said, let us be responsible for cleaning, and then check the appearance of the entire army, let those who are not in good clothes let them clean up, and those who have crooked melons and cracked dates let them stand back, don't hinder Lord Chen's eyes. You must know that Lord Chen is not only the factory governor of Dongchang but also the most trusted minister of the saint, he has heard that he also knows the way of military training, and if you look at the warriors of the eunuch cavalry battalion and the imperial horse supervisor, you will know that Lord Chen is well versed in the art of war. He said a few kind words in front of the saint, we Qianhu adults may be able to move up, we can also follow the light, if it is messed up, not only is it difficult for Qianhu adults to explain, we are light on military law, and we will lose our heads if it is heavy. Baihu said and made a head-cutting motion.

When they had answered yes, they were commanded to go out. Although the atmosphere in the capital is very tense today, the soldiers are for food, not to mention that the enemy army is likely to be thousands of miles away, and it is impossible to attack the capital without skill. Even if it has already hit Shuntianfu, it doesn't matter, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and when a soldier listens to the above meaning, there is no need to think about the problem at all, if you don't think about people, you will live a muddy nightmare, who cares about the rebels. Besides, it is said that the Lu family army surrenders and does not kill, and when the time comes, it will save his life regardless of surrender or a counterattack, as long as he does not come to the city, he will love whoever he loves.

So this brought a hint of spice to the seemingly nervous but idle, bored soldiers, and everyone finally had something to do. Chen Hong finished inspecting Xicheng, and when he came, it was already an hour later, and Xicheng was a surprise inspection just now, and the slack sergeant in the dirty barracks made Chen Hong angry and worried.

Now that I have come to Beicheng, I am in a much better mood in an instant, the streets are clean, the barracks are neat and tidy, the soldiers are not drinking, there is no money, the sergeants are also very energetic, and the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty should be like this. Although Chen Hong knew that this qiē was probably for him to see, because the news had already leaked when he went to Xicheng, the battalions in several other locations naturally quickly responded with measures.

The news of dealing with superiors in the officialdom has always spread very fast, and if his subordinates say that they are connected with foreign countries and Lu Bing have hooked up with each other, Chen Hongyu has no one to guarantee his life, but if he wants to send a message to the generals below, there is still a message. This is a form of friendship in officialdom, which belongs to the scope of unspoken rules, and Chen Hong also has to pass with one eye closed. Since ancient times, there have been policies and countermeasures.

After the inspection, although Chen Hong knew that it might be fake, he was also much more comfortable in his heart, people like beautiful things, and Chen Hong was no exception. The anger that had just gathered in his heart gradually subsided, and Chen Hong, who was frowning at the generals, finally relaxed, and immediately looked at each other and knew that this was a good sign.

Chen Hong checked it, and then said that he was hungry, and the generals hurriedly wanted to invite Chen Hong to the restaurant to eat and drink, but Chen Hong said that he came to see it today, since he had to see it comprehensively, he would eat whatever the soldiers ate, but to see how the food was here. Saying that, Chen Hong looked at the sun and said, "This little fire in the army should start cooking, let's go and take a look." ”

Everyone was shocked, now is a special period, and at the foot of the imperial city, although they dare not wantonly deduct rations so that the soldiers will not be able to eat, but they will definitely not eat too well, otherwise the generals will make a fortune on something. Eating enough is to let you don't poke things up, it's impossible to eat well, Chen Hong is doing it now, it is estimated that he is going to be a gang, and some good impressions just now are estimated to be wiped out. The generals secretly scolded Chen Hong for being a ghost, and also sighed that Chen Hong had seen it thoroughly, thinking about how to deal with it, it was impossible to stop it, Chen Hong had always been true to his word, and even a little stubborn, so he could only look forward to a few words that could come out for a while, and the adults who said it were happy, or today's food was a little better.

Chen Hong glanced at everyone, everyone was organizing language, and when he saw that they had a difficult face, he wanted to go. When I got to the firehead, I smelled a strong smell of broth, and Qianhu was shocked, I didn't see a war or anything today, how to stew the broth is really God help me. (To be continued......)
