Ling Jingyang was very reluctant to go to Baoding Mansion, but in front of Li Daoli, he could not have any dissatisfaction, Li Daoli supplemented him with more than 20 soldiers, each of them was powerful, and at first glance he was a veteran with rich combat experience, which was also Li Daoli's gratitude to Ling Jingyang for saving his life last night.

After replenishing the soldiers and horses, Li Daoli gave Ling Jingyang five days of supplies, let Ling Jingyang take them with him, these supplies are very important, after Ling Jingyang replenished personnel and materials, he took the team and continued to set off to the south, after they were punished, Li Daoli and Zhang Shun led their subordinates to clear the assassins and rebuild Zhuozhou City.

The vanguard army continued to hurry, Li Rufeng looked at the new supplementary soldiers, he was very unhappy, he patted his horse forward, came to Ling Jingyang's left side, and said: "Mr. Ling, it is really painful to lose some brothers last night. ”

Ling Jingyang didn't understand what he meant, and said: "These are all the troubles caused by the assassins, and they have nothing to do with Captain Li's subordinates, and they also blame me, and they took you to save Captain Li without knowing the enemy and me, causing misunderstanding between the two armies, and losing the lives of some brothers in vain, I hope that Captain Du and the commander will kill those assassins as soon as possible." ”

Li Rufeng was not a barbarian person, he quickly figured it out, and then he was very interested in the identity of the assassin, and said: "Mr. Lingsen, which side of the force is this assassin?" ”

"I don't know where these assassins came from, but in the fight, I can obviously feel that there is a gap with the assassins, last night an assassin was even more skillful, I and Du Wei and I can't defeat him together, fortunately, Li Du Wei shouted for help in a hurry, and a nearby sentry reinforcement rushed to support, otherwise it is really possible for us to be killed by that assassin."

Li Rufeng was also smacked, he didn't expect these assassins to have such skills, Ling Jingyang said again: "Those fires last night were set by those assassins, we rushed out of the inn, didn't we see that the whole city was set on fire, what does this mean?" ”

Li Rufeng, Lao Mantou, Dong Daqi and others fell into deep thought and were silent, Zhu Youzhen thought for a while and said: "Assassins can set fire to the city at the same time, which shows that there are many assassins in the city, I thought there were at least dozens of assassins. ”

Dong Daqi touched his head, rolled his eyes a little, and said, "Is there any significance for these assassins to wreak havoc in Zhuozhou City?" ”

As we all know, Zhuozhou City is not an important pass in Beizhili, and sabotage in Zhuozhou City cannot cause serious losses to the Dashun army, and it is completely unnecessary for assassins to assassinate in Zhuozhou City.

Ling Jingyang closed his eyes, thinking about the assassin last night, trying his best to assassinate Li Daoli, Li Daoli is just a captain, and he is only a middle-level general in the Dashun army, killing a captain, and there are more lieutenants, so there must be other conspiracies for the assassins in Zhuozhou City?

Ling Jingyang was puzzled, but Wang Chengen and everyone talked about whether the assassins would assassinate in other cities if the assassins carried out assassinations in Zhuozhou City, and the purpose of the assassination was to prevent reinforcements from supporting Baoding Mansion.

Dong Daqi looked tall and big, and he was not a reckless man, so he immediately refuted Wang Chengen: "That's not reasonable, the entire Beizhili is our great shun, even if we don't go to Baoding City, General Liu's Zuoying brothers can easily break through Baoding City." ”

The old steamed bun also made do and said: "Didn't we meet Liu Rukui of Zuoying yesterday, they retreated to the capital, could it be that there was a change in the capital?" ”

As soon as they heard that there was an accident in the capital, Zhu Youzhen and Wang Chengen had a clear understanding, and looked at each other silently and smiled, hoping that the soldiers and civilians in the capital would work together to drive out the Dashun army.

Li Rufeng was confused by everyone's words and my words, and Ling Jingyang said: "Let's continue to go to Baoding Mansion, get to Baoding Mansion, complete the errand, and come back when we have time to help clear out the assassins, everyone, do you think this is good?"

Ling Jingyang acquiesced to his suggestion, and continued to move south with his subordinates, from Zhuozhou City to Baoding City, there was a distance from Zhuozhou City to Baoding City, almost every road, there were three or three two large Shun soldiers wandering, these Dashun soldiers acted as human eyes and voice transmission, seeing Ling Jingyang and others riding high-headed horses, standing on both sides of the road early, and after they passed, they continued to wander on both sides of the official road.

Everyone continued to move forward, on the way, Ling Jingyang had an immature idea, that is, this time the assassin, will it be the Qing army's people, the Qing army has long had the ambition to enter the customs and seize the world, after the Ming Dynasty was subverted by Li Zicheng in the north, the main enemy of the Qing army is no longer the Ming Dynasty, but Li Zicheng and his Dashun army, if it is really the Qing army, the layout of the Qing army is too terrible.

After a long journey in the morning, everyone rested at a post station, and Ling Jingyang told everyone about the assassins, could it be that Jiannu sent them to Guannei to prevent the Dashun army from assembling in the capital, after listening to it, everyone thought that this possibility was not very likely, especially Lao Slow and Dong Daqi, how could Jiannu be so powerful?

However, Li Rufeng quite recognized Ling Jingyang's idea, and Jiannu detained the customs five times, and every time he entered the customs, he could take away a large number of people and materials, and with the strength of Jiannu, it was not very difficult to leave hundreds of fine works and assassins in the customs.

Ling Jingyang said to everyone again: "Do you think that Jiannu will stop the main force of our army from gathering in Beizhili, and then the main force of Jiannu will knock on the pass and fight our army with an unstable foothold?" ”

Zhu Youzhen was quite disdainful, he didn't think that Jiannu had that ability, he had hit the capital before, and he hadn't gone back in disgrace, and the assassin who assassinated Li Daoli and others last night should be a man with lofty ideals who was loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but he couldn't talk to others about his true thoughts.

Wang Chengen also hoped that last night was the righteous man of the Ming Dynasty, everyone gossiped, chatting at the post station, Li Daoli's more than 20 subordinates also slowly became familiar with the vanguard army, everyone was a soldier in the middle battalion, and last night was also a misunderstanding, after resting at the post station for a period of time, they became comrades-in-arms who talked about everything.

After resting for a while, the group continued to march south, passing by a village, and heard the noise of people in the village, as if a large number of people had gathered together, these things had nothing to do with the vanguard, and the people continued to walk.

Passing by several villages in a row, there were a few villages that were lively, Ling Jingyang ignored what happened in the village, but when he was about to enter Dingxing City, there was a scream from a village.

This is only a day's journey from Baodingcheng, Ling Jingyang doesn't want to be nosy, but the screams are getting louder and louder, attracting Ling Jingyang to look sideways, there is a large group of people coming here, they are followed by a large group of soldiers with weapons and shabby armor, these soldiers have no military flags, and they don't have numbers, like a group of rebels who have lost their organization, they kill people when they see them, and after killing people, they rob valuable things, poor people in this village, and the blood of this group of rebels is flowing like a river.

There are more than 100 rebels, there is no leader, mechanical slaughter, more than 50 people under the command of Ling Jingyang, everyone rides a horse, but there are only a few people such as Li Rufeng who really have the ability to fight on horse, most of them just can ride horses, Ling Jingyang dare not imagine that Zhu Youzhen and Chongzhen are riding horses, charging crookedly and obliquely, wouldn't it make the enemy laugh off his big teeth.

The rebels also found that the common people were fleeing for their lives in the direction of the Dashun army, so they hurriedly stopped and retreated with weapons in hand, it seems that these rebels should be the remnants of the Ming army.
