The soldiers of the Beijing camp are even more outrageous and still to come.

That night, the guard of Changyi Gate actually instructed the soldiers of the Beijing camp to go out of the city and search and kill the night sentry of the Guanning army.

The guards of Zuo'anmen felt even more that after catching the night sentry, they actually asked Guan Ningjun to pay 46 taels of silver per person for ransom.

At this time, the Guanning army almost bombed the camp.

He Kegang, Zhu Mei and Zuo Fu all came forward to appease, but the soldiers' emotions were still angry.

Especially when he saw his comrades who died not from the enemy, but at the hands of their own people, they said one by one: With the loyalty of Inspector Yuan, what can I do?

They shouted one after another, leaving Jingshi and returning to Ningjin.

He Kegang and the others couldn't hold it down and got together to discuss.

"We are not disloyal to the Ming Dynasty, but the court does not believe us. If we stay any longer, the grain and grass will run out, and who will give us food? ”

He Kegang said sadly: "Now, the only way to do this is to temporarily return to Ningjin while the grain and grass have not been exhausted, and then make a good plan." ”

"We came for King Qin and rushed back to Ningjin, which ...... It's not right. Zhu Mei was a little worried.

Zuo Fu agreed with He Kegang: "The soldiers all have their hearts, and if we forcibly refuse to let it, it will only cause greater consequences." In order to prevent Yuan Inspector's loyalty from being dusted, we immediately led the army back to Ningjin. ”

"Okay." Seeing that He Kegang and Zuo Fu both agreed to go back, Zhu Mei didn't say anything.

They set the next morning to pull out the camp and return to Ningjin.

After everyone left, He Kegang went out of the tent, looked at the handsome flag floating high not far away, and secretly thought to himself: "Be loyal to the country and be a teacher of Inspector Yuan." But to be a man in Daming, you have to learn from Yang Dashuai. ”

On the 4th day of the first month of March, He Kegang led the Guanning Army and the two newly transferred soldiers, totaling 15,000 troops, to return to Ningjin.

Chongzhen is young in the end, and he didn't react to this matter. Instead, he used a group of Ming waste generals and asked them to bring their families to Beijing to master King Qin.

The first to react was Sun Chengzong, who hurriedly sent Shi Guozhu to recruit Guan Ningjun, but Guan Ningjun had already made up his mind and could not be summoned back.

I could only watch the Guan Ning army march quickly and cross the Shanhai Pass to return to Ningjin.

The news of Guan Ningjun's return to Ningjin was quickly known by Yang Chengying.

Uiju, commanding the embassy.

"Inspector Yuan was unjustly imprisoned, and the Guanning army ran out of food and grass, so he had to return."

Ning Wanme, who had been paying close attention to Guan Ningjun for a long time, seriously analyzed: "They are now in a dilemma, and they can't be loyal to the court to serve the country and prove their innocence. For Inspector Yuan, he can't prove his innocence and save him from the predicament. ”

"Although the salary has the money given by the marshal before, there are difficulties in grain and grass. If we can point out the strength and make the Guan Ning army know what their goal is, we may be able to get a strong force without much effort. ”

As I spoke, Ning Wan's eyes shone brightly.

His meaning is obvious, while the Ming Court has not fully reacted, he quickly brought this Guan Ning elite into his command, which will be extremely beneficial in the future.

"If this matter is not handled properly, it will arouse the suspicion of the imperial court, and it will also arouse the vigilance of Guan Ningjun, which is extremely unfavorable to us."

Yan Mingtai stroked his long hair under his chin and said in a deep voice.

"That's true!"

Ning Wan nodded, and his face showed a look that had never been solemn: "We must take over the Guan Ning Army in a justifiable manner, and we must not attract too much attention from the imperial court." ”

Yang Chengying rubbed his forehead, there were many rumors about Jingshi, and they all reached his ears. Some of the words are really outrageous, black for the sake of black.

It can be said that in the face of power, even Yuan Chonghuan has become a victim.

The court is unkind, don't blame me for making up my mind.

"It's too early to think about this matter, so I still have to send someone to contact Guan Ningjun first and find out their details."

Yang Chengying thought for a moment and said, "Think about it, who in our army is suitable to send the Guanning army. ”

Ning Wan didn't say a word, and turned his head to look at Yan Mingtai.

The former governor of Jiliao and Yuan Chonghuan's old friend is indeed a more suitable candidate.

But to communicate with Qiu Ba, Yan Mingtai alone is not enough.

Yang Chengying looked at Deng Changchun, "General Deng, you are also from the Thirteen Mountains Righteous Army, how about going with Lord Yan?" ”

"No problem." Deng Changchun accepted the order with emotion.

Under the scorching sun, Yan Mingtai and Deng Changchun rushed to the front guard of Guangning.

He Kegang had already heard the sentry rider report that they were coming, but he didn't think about whether to see them or not.

There is nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, Yang Chengying's envoy suddenly came, it was definitely not a simple visit to condole, there must be something else.

He withdrew his troops and returned, just to give his brothers a place to eat, and at the same time to let the emperor know that he couldn't do without them.

However, I never expected that the emperor really did not react. Except for Sun Chengzong who sent someone to summon, the imperial court did not react at all.

When he was in a dilemma, Zuo Liangyu came in: "General, Yang Shuai's envoy has been waiting outside for a long time, why don't you see it?" ”

"Brother Zuo, the one who came is not good. Yang Chengying's messenger can be uneasy. ”

He Kegang was very hesitant.

"I didn't see it, but I thought it would be more appropriate to contact Yang Shuai and ask the marshal to manage the Guan Ning Army."

Zuo Liangyu said with a smile: "The general took us back to Ningjin, and in the eyes of the imperial court, we are like rebellion." Regardless of whether or not Inspector Yuan is rescued in the future, we will not tolerate the imperial court. ”

"What do you mean......"

"Yang Shuai commanded wisely, meritocracy, and loyal to the imperial court. What's more, after defecting to him, we can get money and food support. ”

"What are you talking about?" He Kegang scolded loudly, "It's equivalent to having milk is a mother, and I completely forgot the word loyalty." ”

"Do you remember loyalty, the court cares? Loyal as Inspector Yuan, he is not in prison. What's more, the Golden State Army has always been on the front line of fighting against the Tartars, and how can it be considered disloyal and unrighteous with him. ”

"This ......"

He Kegang still hesitated.

In fact, his heart has been convinced.

In the end, he is an old Qiu Ba, there is no one in the court, Yang Shuai has someone in the court, maybe he can rescue Inspector Yuan.

Cao Wenzhao quickly walked inside: "General, Lord Yan and General Deng are outside the mansion, they have been basking for an hour, but they have not left a step. ”

"Got it." He Kegang waved his hand irritably.

Cao Wenzhao took a step forward and looked at Zuo Liangyu with a puzzled expression.

Zuo Liangyu winked and motioned for him not to make a sound.

The study suddenly fell silent.

After a while, He Kegang finally made a decision: "You invite Lord Yan and General Deng to the side hall for tea, and I will be there soon." ”

"Yes." Zuo Liangyu and Cao Wenzhao took the order and left.

He Kegang changed into civilian clothes, muttered for a while, and then went straight to the side hall.

Yan Mingtai and Deng Changchun got up and took the initiative to greet He Kegang.

He Kegang returned the salute and invited them to take a seat.

"Ho...... Lord Yan, forgive me! ”

He Kegang sighed and said slowly, "It's hard to investigate what happened. I just want to ask one question, and I ask Lord Yan to answer truthfully. ”

"General He, excuse me." Yan Mingtai smiled slightly.

"Is Yang Shuai ......?"

He Kegang groaned slightly, but still asked: "Intention to incorporate Guan Ningjun!" ”
