"When a city gate captain has really wronged you, are you willing to serve in our army?"

Sun Chuanting stroked his long beard under his chin, looked at Sun Lianhu with a smile, he led his troops to be responsible for pulling nets to search for hidden leaders of the people's army in the border area between Shaanxi and Shanxi, and by the way, he swept away and eliminated the mountain kings who occupied the mountain, and got some unusual information from him when interrogating a certain mountain king.

He was not sure whether the hidden leader of the People's Army would wander into Shanxi, but he rushed to check it, and by the way asked the officers and soldiers guarding Tongcheng to be strictly investigated, and to strengthen their vigilance, and when they arrived at the city of Tongcheng, the battle was over, and Wang Jiayin, the leader of the People's Army, had been shot and killed by his subordinates.

Killing the leader of the people's army, Wang Jiayin, was a great achievement, but his heart was full of worries, as he guessed and worried, the people's army really broke into pieces and mixed into Shanxi in various identities, and the officials and soldiers in Shanxi didn't notice anything unusual, Wang Jiayin was unlucky, and met Sun Lianhu, an outlier.

This old boy is a talent, and he is a real and aggrieved person who guards the city gate here, so he can't help but have a heart of cherishing talents, and digging other people's corners on the spot, of course, the army talks about convincing people with military exploits, and he can't immediately promise Sun Lianhu a high position, he has to make meritorious service first, and prove his ability to his comrades-in-arms, otherwise he will not be able to convince the public.

"Thank you for your support, and you are willing to serve your life."

Sun Lianhu immediately knelt down on one knee to thank him, to say that he had no ambition, it was a lie, just because of his character, even if he made military achievements, he had not been able to get promoted, which made him feel very aggrieved, he had waited for this opportunity for too long, and his brain would only refuse Sun Chuanting's kindness, and besides, Sun Chuanting's words were also very appetizing to him, indicating that Sun Daren was a person with clear rewards and punishments, and he liked such a boss.

"But this matter has to be discussed by the general soldier, are you willing to give up the battle exploits in hand?" Sun Ziting frowned and pondered for a while before saying, not that he wanted to pour cold water on Sun Lianhu, but that he was worried that Xu Heng, the chief military officer of Tongcheng, would not let go, although he was now the chief military officer of Shaanxi and the chief military officer of Yan'an, one level higher than Xu Heng, but he couldn't suppress Xu Heng, the chief military officer of Tongcheng, Shanxi, if he wanted Xu Heng to release people, he had to come up with a little exchange, and it was inevitable to sacrifice the credit of Sun Lian and others in discovering and hunting down Wang Jiayin, the leader of the people's army.

Of course, he can't let Sun Lianhu and his several old brothers be completely wronged, the credit is given up, but he will pay the same credit as compensation, which can be regarded as entrapping Sun Lianhu.

"Humble duty is at the command of the lord." Sun Lianhu bowed down and clenched his fists, what is it to give up this bit of credit, the important thing is to take refuge in a reliable boss who is worthy of service, and Lord Sun paid out of his own pocket to compensate, which made him even more grateful, and felt that his choice was completely correct.

Sun Chuanting entered the city surrounded by the pro-soldier guards, while Sun Lianhu and several of his old brothers continued to stand guard and perform duty, with a slight difference in that they were not listless in the past, but their waists were as straight as javelins, and they were full of energy.

Sun Chuanting suddenly came to Tongcheng, and Xu Heng, the chief military officer of Tongcheng, personally greeted people into the mansion and set up a banquet to entertain them. However, when Sun Chuanting told him about the situation, he was so frightened that the wine glass in his hand almost missed, and his face turned pale.

"Master Sun, don't scare me......" Xu Heng wiped the cold sweat beads that kept oozing from his forehead, this joke can't be made, he can't afford to carry this big black cauldron, being removed from his official position is just a trivial matter, and the guy who eats on his neck has to move.

"Mr. Xu, the old man is not joking."

Sun Chuanting's expression was serious and serious, such a big matter, how dare he joke, he firmly believed that the people's army had been broken into pieces and mixed into Shanxi, but he didn't know where to hide, and he didn't know where they would be, and when they would stir up trouble again, so he could only remind the Ming army in Shanxi to be on strict alert, and at the same time lead his own Yan'an army to assemble at the border, waiting for the holy decree, before leading the army into Shanxi.

The emperors of the past dynasties have clear and strict regulations on the crossing of the border by the government army, who dares to cross the thunder pool one step, the light one loses his position, the heavy one is detained for the crime of rebellion, and the head is punished by the nine clans, Sun Ziting does not dare to step on the thunder no matter how favored by the Son of Heaven is, even if the Son of Heaven does not smelt his crimes, he will be sprayed to death by the civil officials of the Donglin Party and the Jiangnan faction, since he got on the dragon ship of the Son of Heaven, the bigwigs of the court have all kinds of faults and troubles, and the twists and turns of impeaching him are as many as snowflakes, which makes him feel sad and resentful, and at the same time he has also strengthened his determination to hold the dragon leg of the Son of Heaven.

"Lord Sun save my ......"

Xu Heng was really flustered, he and Sun Chuanting had never met, let alone offended others, Sun Chuanting would not pit him for no reason, although he had a trace of luck, but he probably believed what Sun Chuanting said, he was old, young, and there were several concubines in the middle, and his life was very nourishing, but he didn't want to lose his head because of this.

Hey, damn the people's army, why did a good guy come into Shanxi, why am I so unlucky, master?

"General Xu Bing, don't panic, you can't be blamed for this matter......"

Sun Chuanting comforted, the two muttered for a while, Xu Heng breathed a sigh of relief, and was grateful to Sun Ting in his heart, in return, of course, he did not hesitate to sell Sun Lianhu, the captain of the city gate, and several of his old brothers.

According to Sun Chuanting's instructions, Xu Heng ordered the whole army to enter a state of combat readiness, strengthen defense and investigation, and prohibit anyone from carrying weapons into the city, unless it was a big man with a face on the ground or a caravan with a large background.

Half an hour after Xu Heng's messenger set off, Sun Chuanting's messenger took his fold and set off to Beijing, carrying Wang Jiayin's head, he helped Xu Heng shake the pot, playing the time difference, of course, with the wisdom of the Son of Heaven, it is estimated that he may also see the name of the Hall, whether he will get rid of Xu Heng depends on the mood of the Son of Heaven, and there is only so much he can help Xu Heng.

Sun Chuanting while summoning the headquarters of the people and horses to assemble near Tongcheng to prepare for war, while flying to report to Shangguan Sun Chengzong, Sun Chengzong is not only scheming, and the overall situation is quite strong, he felt that the situation is serious, and hurriedly gathered the Xi'an army to move in the direction of Tongcheng, sent people to inform Lu Xiangsheng and Li Xin, and at the same time ordered all the officers and troops in Shaanxi to be on strict alert and prepare for emergencies.

As soon as Lu Xiangsheng received Sun Chengzong's handwritten letter, he immediately pulled out the camp and led the Tianxiong army to Tongcheng.

Li Xin led the Shenji battalion to clear out the mountain kings in Shaanxi, which was not only a combat training, but also took the opportunity to earn military merits and make a small fortune, he received Sun Chengzong's handwritten letter but did not pull out the camp and set off, but politely replied to Sun Chengzong, and at the same time sent someone to inform Qin Liangyu, the chief officer of Shizhu, so that she was ready to lead her troops into Shanxi to fight.

It's not that he doesn't give Sun Chengzong face, but all the military training of the three new armies is aimed at the Jin army, and now the suppression of the mountain kings is just for actual combat training, after the beginning of spring, his Shenji battalion will be transferred to the border pass by order to fight against the Jin army, and Lu Hongniang, the favorite concubine of the Son of Heaven, led her Phoenix Legion to be stationed in Shanhaiguan?

Cao Wenzhao has perennial experience in fighting with the Jin army, and it is estimated that he will also be ordered to go out of the customs after the beginning of spring to assist the Phoenix Army and the Shenji Battalion in the battle, and his Guangping army is stationed near the important town of Zunhua, and he will easily sweep the mountain king in that area, plus the Zunhua ordnance and gunpowder workshop newly transferred some Jinyiwei and Dongchang manpower to come in and strictly supervise, it is not difficult to guess the mind and strategic intentions of the Son of Heaven.

However, Qin Liangyu, the chief soldier of Shizhu, beat Zhang Xianzhong violently in Sichuan, and there was no movement after making a great achievement, and the white pole soldiers were fierce and prestigious, and the Son of Heaven often praised Qin Liangyu for his loyalty, and he was a rare good general and famous commander in the Ming Dynasty, and he would inevitably transfer her to lead the army into Shanxi to quell the chaos.

Shaanxi finally achieved a rare calm, because of Sun Chengzong's order, all the officials in the prefecture, county and town became nervous, while strengthening vigilance, while stockpiling as much military supplies as possible, in case of urgent needs in the war.

Because of the combat preparations that were underway, everyone sensed that a storm was coming.
