Chapter 50: Patrol the City
Soon, Han Qin walked into the courtyard with Mu Ying.
Looking at Han Qin, Qi Heng immediately said: "From now on, whether it is night or day, double the number of troops to inspect the situation outside the city, in addition, we must pay special attention to the changes in Haozhou City, once they send troops, I will get the news as soon as possible." ”
Hearing Qi Heng's order, Han Qin immediately said, "Okay, I'll arrange it." ”
As soon as the words fell, Qi Heng said again: "By the way, find me a few face-to-face, absolutely reliable soldiers, if you can, let them blend into Haozhou City, I want to know all the situations in Haozhou City for the first time." ”
Han Qin thought for a while and said, "I just accepted a few brothers recently, and a few of them are quite clever and reliable, so there shouldn't be any problems, so I'll go find them." ”
Qi Heng nodded, and instructed again: "Haozhou City's troops are far superior to ours, once they take advantage of our inattention to sneak attack, it is likely that they will succeed, so you must be cautious in this matter, and you must not be careless." ”
Han Qin nodded seriously and left.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang's letter only mentioned such a sentence, it may be based on Zhu Yuanzhang's trust in himself. But Qi Heng knows that he has no ability at all, if he is dealing with some government affairs and solving some specific problems, it is fine, and he can also rely on the concepts and knowledge that are hundreds of years ahead to make some problems that people in this era cannot solve.
But if it was really knife-to-knife and gun-to-gun battles on the battlefield, Qi Heng didn't even know how the military flag was commanded.
What's more, in the chaotic battlefield, you can keenly capture the fighter and defeat the opponent.
So, everything has to be done with care.
Of course, as long as we can seek truth from facts and not engage in hypocrisy, even in the face of an unprecedented situation, we can continue to make progress on the way forward.
Just like the generals around Zhu Yuanzhang, compared to their prestige in the future, they are just people who have just joined the rebel army not long ago.
No one really learns the art of war or anything from an early age.
Compared with them, Qi Heng's innate conditions are not bad, or even better, so while being cautious, there is no need to be too weak-minded.
Night.
Qi Heng returned to his house with him.
And Mu Ying was arranged by Qi Heng in the house at the west end of the courtyard.
The house is all cleaned up, so it doesn't need to be too much trouble.
Sitting on the bed, he still suddenly looked at Qi Heng with a smile and said, "Brother, I have something good for you." ”
Qi Heng was thinking about the things in the city in his heart, and suddenly when he heard what he was still saying, he suddenly smiled and said, "Give my brother something good?" What's good? Show me. ”
Still shaking his head, he said, "You have to guess correctly to give it to you." ”
As he spoke, he still stretched out his two little hands, clenched his fists in his small hands, and said to Qi Heng: "Brother, guess which palm it is, and if you guess correctly, I'll give it to you." ”
Qi Heng looked at it with a smile, and then pretended to think: "Left hand!" ”
Still with your hands outstretched.
Nothing.
"My brother guessed wrong!"
Still grinning.
Qi Heng, on the other hand, pointed to the other fist and said, "Right hand!" ”
Still stretched out again, still nothing.
Looking at Qi Heng's widening eyes, the person who was still smiling turned his back on his horse.
However, he still took out a candy cube from behind him, put it in Qi Heng's hand, and said, "Brother, this is given to me by my sister, I am not willing to eat it, give it to you!" ”
Still pursed his lips and looked at Qi Heng with a smile.
Qi Heng looked at the sugar cube in his hand, felt some feelings in his heart, and kissed his still little face.
"It's still good."
However, the candy cube was still stuffed into Yi's mouth and said, "My brother has grown up, and the candy cube is for children, if you like to eat it, my brother will bring you some tomorrow." ”
"No, you don't! One piece is still enough. ”
As he spoke, he just bit down a small piece of the candy cube in his mouth, and then put the rest back in his pocket.
Qi Heng didn't say anything, just rubbed her head and coaxed her to sleep.
Late at night.
Qi Heng felt the whirring sound around him, and carefully got up and dressed.
I opened the door and sneaked out.
When passing by Mu Ying's room, he didn't alarm him, and wanted to go around the city.
But just as he had not taken two steps, the door of the west door suddenly opened, and he saw Mu Ying walking out with a sword in his hand.
When he saw that it was Qi Heng, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"My lord, you have to go out, wait for me for a moment."
So saying, he turned around and ran towards the house.
Qi Heng didn't want to disturb him, but when he saw him running out with his coat, he didn't say much.
However, in my heart, I appreciate this guard, who is even smaller than myself now.
Walking in the city, it was pitch black, and I could only walk in the city by moonlight and memory.
At this time, Huanggang was silent, and Qi Heng asked Mu Ying beside him, "Have you read since you were a child?" ”
Mu Ying shook her head: "I was supposed to go to a private school, but I happened to meet a famine year and a war, my parents died, I couldn't eat, and I didn't study." ”
Qi Heng nodded.
The two talked as they walked, and after a while, they were confronted by a group of patrolling soldiers.
"What people!"
In the dark, the patrol soldiers on the opposite side could only see someone on the other side by music, but they couldn't see who it was.
It wasn't until they came to Qi Heng that they saw Qi Heng's appearance clearly.
"Your Excellency!"
Qi Heng nodded: "Let's continue to patrol." ”
"Yes!"
All the way from the Great Marshal's Mansion to the city gate, Qi Heng encountered a total of two teams of patrolling soldiers.
In this regard, Qi Heng is quite satisfied.
It can be seen that Han Qin took his words to heart.
When you come to the city gate, you can see from a distance that several soldiers are standing guard in the light of torches on the not-so-high tower.
Twenty soldiers were also on duty behind the door.
When they saw Qi Heng, they immediately stood up one by one and shouted at Qi Heng: "My lord! ”
Qi Heng waved his hand and motioned for them to continue to sit down and rest, and then walked up to the city gate.
Standing on the city gate, you can clearly feel a chill.
Especially when the evening breeze blows, the feeling is even stronger.
Qi Heng touched the neck of the soldier on duty with his hand.
Sure enough, icy cold.
Seeing that they were still wearing single clothes at this time, he asked, "Is it cold?" ”
The four people in the city were not very old, and they were still a little shy when they saw Qi Heng's questioning, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, it's time for the changing of the guard in a while, and the brothers below will come to replace us for rest." ”
Qi Heng nodded and said, "After seeing Han Qin tomorrow, I will explain to him and prepare a few thicker clothes for you to wear when you are on duty at night." ”
"By the way, there are also brothers outside, as long as they are on duty at night, they must have one piece per person, and they can't freeze to death."
The soldier smiled with a smile on his red face: "Yes, thank you, sir." ”
Qi Heng let out an "um" and turned to go downstairs.
