Xie Qinghui rode to the dust, and when he arrived at the boundary of Chengtianfu, it happened to be noon. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info But seeing that the sun is hazy, the black clouds are condensed, and there is a faint wet wind blowing on the face, it is obvious that a transparent spring rain is brewing between heaven and earth.

He had obtained the Longyue Island defense map from that Yan Sidao last night, and immediately abandoned the boat and fled, diving Dongting Lake to the Junshan area in the north to land in the area. Fortunately, he has excellent water quality, and he relied on internal force along the way, and he traveled underwater from Dongting Lake, but he was not found under the gate of Dongting Lake, which was sent by Zheng Qianjin to chase and intercept. After going ashore, Xie Qinghui snatched two more horses from the caravan marching at night, and changed horses along the way and galloped wildly, so that he could travel hundreds of miles at night and arrive at the military camp stationed in the realm of Chengtianfu.

At this moment, Xie Qinghui was standing on a small hill and looking out, ascending to a high position, and seeing that under the hill, it was clearly a big wilderness, so vast that he couldn't see the edge. Under the blurred clouds, a large area of yellowed oilcloth camp tents stretched for several miles, and it was actually a central camp with tens of thousands of soldiers, which was burned by the smoke and fire all year round, and many of the camp tents had become a little blackened, and at this noon hour, there were faint and sporadic cooking smoke.

You must know that Xie Qinghui has always been in the border of Mobei, and he has experienced more than ten years in his military career, and he knows that the rules in the camp are unified, and the military law is very strict. And now the sparse cooking smoke in the barracks was irregular, and he didn't need to think about it to know that there was a change in the barracks, so he immediately pulled the reins of his horse and galloped straight towards the barracks.

Although the current imperial court does not govern the army as strictly as it did in the Han and Tang dynasties, riding a horse in the military camp has been a capital crime since ancient times. Like Xie Qinghui, he rode his horse wildly, and before he could enter the barracks, the garrison at the gate of the camp was already shocked, and shot a few warning feather arrows from afar, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Who is coming? ”

Unexpectedly, Xie Qinghui's move was deliberate, and seeing that the garrison strictly abides by military law, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said secretly in his heart: "Although these soldiers are a little loose at the moment, they can still be used." He immediately grabbed the reins and stopped his horse, and said in a loud voice: "I have a report from my colleagues, I am Xie Qinghui, a staff general of the Dinghai battalion under the command of General Nangong of Mobei. Now there is an urgent military situation, and it is necessary to meet General Tao Haotao who is stationed here. ”

The garrison at the gate of the camp saw that the person who came was dressed in civilian clothes, and his appearance was embarrassed, but between his words and deeds, it was clearly the style of the army, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he called out the name of General Tao Hao in the camp, and immediately discussed with each other, and then opened the gate of the camp. Xie Qinghui hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and after some words with the garrison, a sergeant bowed down and led him into the camp.

Xie Qinghui entered the camp, looked at it slightly, and immediately recognized the layout of the military camp here, and he didn't need the sergeant to lead the way at the moment, so he took a big stride and walked in the direction of the camp where the main general was. But I saw that the sergeants along the way were sitting or standing, sporadically gathered around the cooking stove, and they didn't talk to each other much, and all of them had a somewhat uncertain look on their faces, and there was a trace of inexplicable restlessness, which seemed to be extremely uneasy. Xie Qinghui couldn't help but pay attention to the stove pot in front of those sergeants, but when he saw the boiling soup in the pot, it turned out to be small fish with finger length and unknown grass roots.

It seems that the army of Chengtianfu is short of food, looking at the current appearance, I am afraid that it is imminent when the food is gone, if the imperial court does not try to remedy it, maybe it will immediately set off a mutiny. During this thought, Xie Qinghui had already walked quickly outside the main tent of the barracks, and immediately a sergeant trotted into the account to report to him, but after a while, a rush of footsteps stepped out of the camp tent, and rushed out of a biao-shaped general wearing armor, who was not wearing a helmet, and asked in a loud voice: "Who is the little General Xie of the Dinghai camp?"

Xie Qinghui immediately gave a military salute, and before he could answer, the Biao general had already laughed and said: "I am Tao Hao, I have long admired the prestige of General Xie, dare to ask Lord Ling Zun if he is okay?" Haha, in the past in the battle of Lion Rock, the last general once killed the enemy side by side with the general, and I was fortunate to witness the demeanor of the general, which was the most wonderful battle in the life of the general. ”

When he said this, he naturally wanted to be close to himself. Xie Qinghui immediately made another salute to the juniors in the rivers and lakes, and then said slowly: "The last general Xie Qinghui is polite, thanks to General Tao's concern, my father is fine." Speaking of this, he immediately changed his words and said in a deep voice: "However, if my father and his old man see this garrison of General Tao with their own eyes, I am afraid it will be difficult to continue to 'be well', and even burn all of them." ”

General Tao couldn't help but be slightly stunned, you must know that a general like Xie Qinghui who has a military position must have a deep meaning when he crossed the border to visit. As soon as he heard Xie Qinghui's words at this moment, he immediately knew that this General Xiao Xie's intention was not simple, and he hurriedly smiled: "General Xiao Xie has traveled thousands of miles, since there is an urgent military situation to inform the last general, please enter the account and discuss it in detail, so as not to leak the important affairs of the military aircraft." Xie Qinghui waved his hand and said lightly: "No need." Since ancient times, everything should be said to others, and for the sake of the generals, they should share weal and woe with the soldiers, and there is no need to hide it from all the colleagues present in such a situation, no matter how urgent the military situation is. ”

Speaking of this, Xie Qinghui suddenly raised his voice, exhaled and said loudly: "Now that the military salary transported to Huguang has been stolen, the three armies of my Chengtianfu have run out of food. Although the imperial court had issued a strict order to investigate, it was unable to recover the stolen military pay in a hurry with the small strength of the torture room and the people in the rivers and lakes. It is expected that all of you colleagues also know that during the great drought in the south of the Yangtze River last year, the people did not receive any grains, and this batch of stolen military salaries was still transported from Beiping for thousands of miles, and now it has been robbed by gangsters, and there is no surplus grain to allocate in this world. If you don't want to sit still here, you're on our own. ”

His words secretly carried the internal force, and for a while, the sound shook the entire barracks, and the nearby sergeants did not know why, so they all came over one after another, gradually forming a big circle, and looked at General Tao and Xie Qinghui in puzzlement. When General Tao heard this, his heart was filled with uneasiness, I don't know why this Xiao Xie General talked about this matter loudly in front of the army, if he was a little careless, wouldn't he immediately trigger a mutiny?

I only heard Xie Qinghui take a deep breath and shouted loudly: "When this crisis exists, please ask General Tao to make a clear decision!"

When General Tao heard this, he looked around and saw that he was already surrounded by sergeants, and knew that he could not avoid today's incident, so he immediately said in a deep voice: "I don't know if General Xiao Xie came to our camp this time, is it your own intention, or the general's intention? If it is according to General Xiao Xie's words, I don't know what needs to be decided by the general? What good plan do you have to help our army tide over this current difficulty?"

Xie Qinghui ignored him, but turned to face the sergeants who surrounded him, and said in a loud voice: "I have a word, please listen to the army." The military salaries that were originally transported to Chengtianfu were robbed by gangsters in this Huguang territory. And in the territory of this lake, except for Jiang Wangcai, who is full of evil, who still has the guts? Who still has this ability? Although our army's grain and grass have been exhausted, as long as we go a hundred miles to the west, it is Dongting Lake, Jiang Wangcai's old nest, and in the thieves' nest on Longyue Island, there is not only plenty of grain and grass, but also hundreds of millions of gold and silver, and even military salaries that originally belonged to us but were robbed by Jiang Wangcai. Colleagues, now that we are in a desperate situation, we are being persecuted by that Jiang Wangcai, why don't we all work together to capture that Jiang Wangcai's Longyue Island, and then recover the entire Huguang?"

Most of the sergeants who gathered around him immediately burst into an uproar and talked endlessly, attracting more and more sergeants to come around, but within the time of a meal, thousands of sergeants had gathered outside the camp tent of the commander. General Na Tao's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he shouted loudly: "It's just nonsense! Our army is stationed in Chengtianfu by the will of the Holy Lord, just to guard the gate of Jinling City and prevent Najiang Wang from making any changes. How can you let our army call the shots without permission because of a few jokes from you......"

Xie Qinghui suddenly used his internal strength, suppressed all his words, and said in a loud voice: "Since ancient times, generals have been outside, and military orders have been exempt! Now that the three armies of Chengtianfu have run out of food, if I want to watch our soldiers starve to death one by one due to the lack of food, I, Xie Qinghui, will be the first to refuse. What's more, once our army loses its combat capability due to the lack of food, how can it resist Jiang Wangcai's abnormal movements? It is better to ......" He immediately reached into his arms, took out the Longyue Island defense map drawn by Yan Sidao, held it high above his head, and continued, "...... Colleagues, please see, this is where Jiang Wangcai's lair is located, and the marching map of Longyue Island on Dongting Lake, which I personally stepped into yesterday and recorded them one by one. If your colleagues are still good men in our dynasty, then you will go with me to destroy the thieves and regain the military salary, not only will you have food and money, but you will also be able to recover the whole Huguang and truly dominate the world!"
