After being transferred to Zuoguan, only two days later, Chen Jing's fourth sentinel Zhuang battalion received the first military order.

The military order of this incident was personally discussed by Lu Xiu.

Chen Jing helped pour a bowl of hot water.

"Chen Jing, look, my sons and daughters in the south are practicing well."

In addition to the 10,000 battalion troops, the remaining 20,000 men need to practice hard training every day to master the skills of killing the enemy.

It's a pity that the time is too short, and Chen Jing can even imagine that in this decisive battle with the people of Di Guo, I don't know how many people will never return to their hometown.

Putting down the water bowl, Lu Xiu's face became serious.

"Li Hou's side has already sent someone over to ask my Southern Army in Zuoguan to find a way to go to Hucheng and get in touch with the righteous soldiers who are fighting against Di over there. Chen Jing, you may not know that the current anti-Di righteous soldiers over there, after hearing that the court sent troops, have gathered more than 10,000 people from the original 7,000 people, which can be regarded as a large army. ”

Chen Jing had a "groan" in his heart, Lu Xiu came to him, which meant that the task of this liaison was going to be handed over to him.

You must know that Fenglong Pass is not close to the three cities that were ceded, and it is at least seventy or eighty miles to the left, and the most important thing is that there will be a lot of Di patrols in this section of the road.

"This is Li Hou's handwriting, you remember to hand it over to the leader of the rebel army."

Chen Jing took it silently.

"You may be angry in your heart, why did you choose so many sentinels?" Lu Xiu stood up, "If I tell you that this is the name personally named by Li Hou, what will you do?" ”

"Chen Jing commanded."

Lu Xiu smiled and comforted again.

Holding the handbook, Chen Jing frowned slightly. It would not be surprising if Li Chong personally named him, after all, in the capital, Mr. Big recommended him. Probably yes, Li Chong wanted to touch his skills through this incident.

"By the way, General Lu, how many horses will you take this time?"

"Originally, it was fifty horsemen, but I took great pains to increase your number to one hundred. However, you can only choose who to follow from among the men of your post. ”

"Thank you, General."

There is no doubt that this is the first problem that Chen Jing ushered in after going to the north. In the northern Xinjiang area, in addition to the Fenglong Pass, there are many border towns, Hucheng is one of them.

Such a small border city, even if the Di people build it, if they want to enter the hinterland of the Central Plains, they still need to cross the mountains and cross the river. It is far inferior to Fenglong Pass, as long as it is broken, it can follow the official road and kill all the way to the hinterland of the Central Plains.

But it doesn't mean that this kind of border town can be handed over, if they are all occupied by Di Guodi, I am afraid that it will form a flanking attack on Fenglong Pass.

Li Chong, the loyal and brave marquis, saw this point and immediately sent someone over.

"Hundred horses?" Hearing this number, Tang Ao's face was shocked.

"The owner, the patrol cavalry of the Di country, the larger ones are larger, but there are a thousand horses, even if they are smaller, there are four or five hundred horses. This way has passed, but I am afraid of being dangerous and abnormal. ”

Chen Jing didn't know. But this military order, in the final analysis, was given by Li Chong, and it was more like studying his skills. If he is cowardly and defeated, even if it is Mr. Big's recommendation, it is estimated that Li Chong will not be interested in him.

"Tang Ao, in addition to the twenty people in Zhuangzi, you can pick another eighty to make up for one hundred horsemen."

"Boss, when will you leave?"

"Hey."

At that time, it was about ten o'clock in the night, and he was running at night, saying that he could not avoid the eyes of the Di people's patrol riders.

Chen Jing was originally worried about the matter of the guide along the way. But fortunately, there were two old men who came with the horses.

These two old pawns will go with the hundred horsemen.

……

The wind dragon closed, and Li Chong, who was holding his hand, stood silently, staring at the scenery outside the gate for a long time.

"When I was seventeen years old, I came to Mobei for the first time, and at that time, Fenglongguan was still a small city, and the long wall of these dozens of miles had not yet been built. Outside the Fenglong Pass, this large area of land is the territory of Daran in the Central Plains, and there are countless people who will go out of the city to plant trees and open up the wasteland with the documents of the official workshop. ”

"At that time, the Di people, although the momentum was very fierce, did not dare to start a war with Da Ran at will, and only desperately plundered the population, grain and grass during the autumn plunder. But you see, I am less than 60 years this year, and I have only been in the past 30 years. ”

The generals who followed him all hung their heads in silence.

"I don't care about Mr. Big, or any Eight Families, what I need to do is to protect the mountains and rivers of this dynasty. When the first emperor went, I also knelt outside the dormitory, listening to the cough coming from the hall, and at that time I swore that I Li Chong would live up to the grace of the first emperor and keep the rivers and mountains of the Central Plains. ”

On Li Chong's old face, a pair of eyes suddenly widened. The Eight Masters forced him to resign from his post on trumped-up charges, and Mr. Big ran around and admonished His Majesty bitterly before he was reinstated as the commander of the army going to the north.

But in his opinion, these are all personal grievances and personal favors, and only by protecting Da Ran and killing all those who dare to shake the foundation of the dynasty can he be truly loyal. Just like his marquis's seal - loyal and brave.

After a long time, Li Chong retracted his gaze, and when he walked back, he suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, how is the fast rider sent to Hucheng?"

"The little sentry general of the Southern Army said that he would go out of the city at night and avoid the eyes and ears of the first group of Di people."

"But it's called Chen Jing?"

"As the old marquis said."

Li Chong closed his eyes, "Just be me Li Chong, and return a favor from Zhao Shengniu." If it is a person who has been painted with gold in the military, it is a big mistake to take this opportunity to obtain military merits and go back to receive rewards. ”

"Hou Ye is wise."

"Zhao Shengniu said that he had made miraculous achievements in Manshan, and he was a capable person, and between his words, he seemed to want me to be promoted to a staff member in the battalion. But this matter of setting the policy for the three armed forces is not a child's play. Chen Jing, you let me open my eyes and take a good look at your skills. ”

"Old Marquis, the Shenlu National Master of Di Country, had already cut off the channel between Fenglong Pass and Hucheng earlier, and had also buried a large army near Hucheng. The messengers sent out earlier died halfway through. If there is no accident with this Chen Jing, it is very likely that he will also die in battle. ”

"There are too many dead people inside and outside this Wind Dragon Pass. But over there in Hucheng, someone will have to be sent after all. Li Chong faced the sky on his back. There was a sand wind that blew his silver hair fluttering.

"The mountains and rivers weep blood, the northern Xinjiang is in an emergency, up to the silver firmament, down to the crown, if you don't give up your life to defend the country, this huge Central Plains, how can you be healthy and happy."

……

"Out of town!"

In the night, the figure of the hundred horsemen, who did not hang a horse lantern, only wore thin armor and carried a sword and bow, and hurriedly rushed out along the crack in the door opened by the left pass of the wind dragon.

Chen Jing, who was riding on a horse, hurriedly turned back in a hurry. The Wind Dragon Pass in the rear, only a few moments later, quickly turned into night. Even the braziers on the top of the city, the torches guarded by the guards, gradually became invisible.

Only the towering lookout towers are still bathed in the moonlight, leaving their final outlines. At this moment, Chen Jing finally understood what Yuan Siqiao's words meant by "looking at the tower in the south and breaking the north".

"Tight—"

"Roar!"

The people of the hundred horsemen, holding the reins high, moved intensively, so that the horses under the crotch ran all the way to the Hucheng in the west at the fastest speed.

If there is no accident, if there is no patrol cavalry of Di Guo, the road is less than a hundred miles, and it may be possible to arrive in one day. But Chen Jing knew very well that the Shenlu National Master of Di Country was not a fool, and he would definitely cut off the channel and block the news exchange between Fenglong Pass and Hucheng.

In this scene, the hundred horsemen who are messengers are destined to live and die all the way.
