In the afternoon of the next day, in the study of the magistrate's yamen in Wuzhi City, Xu Xiake and Tian Jianxiu were talking, and their happiness was overflowing. Compared to two days ago, the look is much more relaxed.

"Hehe... Mr. Xu, I really didn't expect that Li Guo would come back at this time, and he also brought 4,000 cavalry. With the 2,000 men and horses brought by Dang Shousu last night, by the time the night falls today, all the materials will definitely be transported to the other side of the Yellow River. ”

"Captain Tian, what you said is right, if there are no two thousand people, our mission will be delayed for at least three days to complete. In that case, the pressure on the boss's side will be doubled. ”

As soon as Xu Xiake finished saying this, he seemed to think of something, his expression froze, and he said in a deep voice: "Captain Tian, since we can complete the task tonight." Look, should we send someone to Huaiqing City and inform the boss that they can evacuate tonight? ”

Hearing this, Tian Jianxiu's expression was closed, and he became solemn, nodded lightly in agreement, and replied without thinking: "Mr. Xu, you are right, I will immediately send someone to Huaiqing City ......"

Tian Jianxiu's tone changed, he thought about it for a while, and then said: "Forget it, send someone else, I'm not at ease, I'll go in person." Leave Huaiqing Mansion one day early, and rest assured one day earlier. Moreover, the remaining second half of the night is enough time for us to cross the Yellow River with the boss. ”

Xu Xiake nodded in agreement, and then added: "Moreover, Captain Wu and Captain Liu have already passed the news that they have successfully taken Guangwu Mountain and controlled Overlord City and Han King City respectively. ”

As soon as she heard this, Tian Jianxiu's face was overjoyed, and she still didn't believe it in her heart, so she couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Xu, what you said is true or false?" In the past few days, I have been sending people to keep an eye on the movement on the other side of Guangwu Mountain, and there is no sound of siege and fighting. ”

After asking this, Xu Xiake seemed to think of something, Xu Xiake showed a look of admiration, and explained admirably: "Captain Tian, according to the accounts of the people sent by Captain Wu and Captain Liu, they attacked a group of grain transport officers and soldiers from Xingyang City from the halfway. Then, they took out a part of the people, disguised as the grain soldiers of the official army, and escorted grain and grass to the Overlord City and the Han King City in Guangwu Mountain respectively. At night, the brothers who infiltrated the Overlord City and the Han King City opened the city gate at night, and let the remaining 5,000 people enter the city separately, so they took the Han King City and the Overlord City, thus controlling Guangwu Mountain. ”

"I see, I said why there is no movement at all." Tian Jianxiu listened very attentively and couldn't help but admire.

After saying this, Tian Jianxiu looked at the sky outside, then stood up, and said instead: "Mr. Xu, without further ado, I will go to Huaiqing City now, persuade the boss and them to come back, and take advantage of the darkness in the second half of the night to cross the Yellow River in one fell swoop." As for the affairs here in Wuzhi City, it is up to you to support it, and with the assistance of Dang Shousu, all the personnel and materials will be transported across the Yellow River as soon as possible. ”

"Captain Tian, don't worry, the matter of Wuzhi City is about to come to an end, and the old man can't even do this thing?"

While speaking, Xu Xiake also stood up, smiled, responded pretending to be angry, and followed Tian Jianxiu out.

At the east gate of Huaiqing City, dozens of miles away, Li Zicheng and Li Guo's uncle and nephew were also talking about things, and the atmosphere was slightly tense and weird.

"Uncle, early this morning, I suddenly remembered something and I must tell you."

Li Zicheng saw that Li Guo said seriously, with a solemn expression on his face, and a hint of apology mixed in, and then asked, "Oh... What's the matter? Is it important? ”

"Uncle, that's right, a few months ago, Ma Xin sent me a message from Nanjing, saying that he met Qian Qianyi, a famous Confucian in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, in Nanjing, and through his matchmaking, he was guaranteed by Xiong Wencan, the governor of Fujian, and was recommended to serve as a soldier in the Fujian Naval Division, and served under Zheng Zhilong, the governor of Fujian, as a young general, I don't know what you think?"

After finishing speaking, Li Guo looked worried, and looked at Li Zicheng from the corner of his eye, as if he had done something wrong. Without waiting for Li Zicheng to say anything, he added: "Because your whereabouts have been erratic in the past few months, this information from Ma Xinliu has not been able to be delivered to you." ”

However, after explaining, Li Guo became even more nervous, and his heart became more and more bottomless.

"Uncle, don't get me wrong, Ma Xin didn't mean to betray, but he felt that our Li family army was all infantry, and there was no navy. Therefore, he wanted to infiltrate the sailors of the imperial court and see how the sailors practiced? After completing his studies, he immediately came back and established his own sailor. Moreover, he also repeatedly explained that if you don't agree, he can come back at any time and continue to serve as a liaison in Jinling City to gather talents from all sides. ”

Don't look at Li Zicheng's face tightened, his heart has already blossomed, I wish Ma Xin would do that and blend into the sailors of the imperial court, especially among Zheng Zhilong's sailors!

Who is Zheng Zhilong? That is a prominent figure in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Zheng Chenggong's father, a generation of heroes on the sea, in the southeast coastal area, is definitely a king's existence! In particular, a naval division in his hands has the highest combat power on the southeast coast. Maneuvering between the many forces of the East and the West, no one dares to plunder it easily!

At the same time, Li Zicheng also knew that the reason why his nephew Li Guo was so nervous was not because Ma Xin's matter was reported late, but because he was worried about Ma Xin's safety and Ma Xin's status in his heart.

After all, among all the people, Li Guo and Ma Xin are the most temperamental, and they have an excellent relationship.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Zicheng was not silent, and when he saw Li Guo's anxious appearance, he secretly felt a little funny, and then said loudly: "Okay, Guo'er, I didn't blame Ma Xin." In this way, if there is a person hidden among the sailors of the imperial court, maybe it will be of unexpected use in the future. ”

Hearing this, Li Guo let go of most of his heart, and just wanted to say something, but at this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and the two of them subconsciously raised their eyes, and the curtain of the camp tent was also provoked.

I saw that Tian Jianxiu took the lead and came in stride, followed by Liu Tichun and others.

However, Li Zicheng's gaze only stayed on Tian Jianxiu's body for a moment, and turned to look at his right side, with a look of surprise on his face, and was about to say something, a person walked out of Tian Jianxiu's right side, and said respectfully and loudly: "General Li Chuang, Yuan Zongdi was entrusted by the head of my family this time to enter Henan from Shanxi and ask to see you." ”

Li Zicheng and Li Guo froze at the same time, they didn't expect Yuan Zongdi to say this, but they returned to normal in an instant, and Li Zicheng was the first to react, looked at Yuan Zongdi, and asked, "Brother Yuan, what do you mean by this?" What's wrong with my uncle? How do you know I'm in Huaiqing City? ”

When he said this, Li Zicheng already knew in his heart that Yuan Zongdi's identity had not been revealed. The reason why I came here should be assigned by my cheap uncle Gao Yingxiang.

seemed to have guessed what Li Zicheng was thinking, knowing that the boss didn't want more people to know Yuan Zongdi's identity, Tian Jianxiu stepped forward and explained with a smile: "Boss, Yuan Zongdi was met by me halfway, saying that I was looking for you in an emergency." So, I brought Brother Yuan here by the way. ”
