Chapter 135: Reinforcements
After entering Wan'er's boudoir, Wan'er asked Zilong to sit in front of her makeup mirror with her eyes closed, although Zilong was puzzled, but he also sat down obediently.
At that moment, Zilong only felt Wan'er smearing and wiping something on his face from time to time, and he was extremely curious, but since Wan'er let herself close her eyes, Zilong himself agreed, so he had to endure it at the moment.
After about a stick of incense, Wan'er chuckled and said, "Okay, you can open your eyes!"
After Zilong opened his eyes, he happened to face the bronze mirror, and vaguely saw that in the bronze mirror, there was a thin bearded man, and he didn't feel surprised: "Huh, how did I become like this?"
"Hehe!" Wan'er smiled smugly and said, "After we succeeded in disguise last time, I pestered the disguise master of the beggar gang and asked him to teach me the methods of disguise. It's just that his disguise methods are really exquisite, and I can't learn them in a day or two, and he taught me some simple tricks right now! The beard on your face is fake! But it's also made of real beards! It's all taught to me by the master of disguise! If you look like this, if you go out, I'm afraid that everyone won't recognize you!"
"Wan'er, you are really smart!" Zilong said with sincere admiration. Since he knew Wan'er, this beautiful Wan'er surprised him every time. From the initial martial arts, to reading the Sanskrit in the Yijin Sutra, to the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, all of them are understandable, and all of them are incomprehensible. In the end, she also learned medical skills, and now she can learn this simple disguise technique, Zilong feels that if Wan'er is a man, I am afraid that she will be a great man who will be famous in history!
Wan'er heard the praise of her sweetheart, but she also smiled, and said: "Okay, Brother Zilong, Hugh has to sigh, it's been a long time now, I'm afraid that those big officials are almost finished, and you won't have a chance to go in, so why don't you come with me and ask my father, and you will know the purpose of Dingguo Gong and their coming here!"
"Okay!" Zilong's appearance has changed greatly now, although familiar people can still recognize it after careful identification. But going out in this way is also a lot of inconvenience, but with Wan'er by her side, there are not so many things!
At that moment, the two walked out together and walked towards the inner hall of the post house. Along the way, the guards were really strange, how could Miss Wan'er get together with a strange bearded man? Isn't she fond of Deputy Commander Xu? Although it was strange in her heart, these guards were not easy to ask, they just held back in their hearts and stood at their posts.
Wan'er and Zilong were amused when they saw the guards like this. At that moment, the two of them didn't say anything, and walked towards the inner hall. When I came to the vicinity of the inner hall, I found that the Jinyi guards were indeed gone, and it was obvious that Dingguo Gong and they had left. Wan'er took Zilong directly and walked into the inner hall, and found King An sitting on a chair, closing his eyes and contemplating.
"Daddy, what's wrong?" Wan'er couldn't help but ask softly when she saw King An like this.
King An was still a little annoyed by the news brought by Dingguo Gong, but when he heard Wan'er's call, he interrupted his thoughts, and raised his head and was about to answer Wan'er's words, when he saw the bearded Zilong. After identifying it for a long time, he couldn't help but sneer and said, "Haha, I didn't expect Zilong to become a bearded guest, and he really has a bit of the demeanor of a hero!"
Zilong smiled lightly, arched his hand, and said, "The prince is smiling!"
Seeing that Zilong obediently changed his appearance, this appearance is Wei Bin, who is familiar with Zhengde, I am afraid that I will not recognize it for a while, and Wang An, who was in a slightly heavy mood at the moment, said: "This time Dingguo Gong They brought bad news. ”
"What's the bad news?" Zilong's heart jumped when he heard this, and he said, "Could it be that Liu Jin has made any moves again?"
"It's not Liu Jin!" King An sighed, shook his head, and said, "This time it's a border emergency!
"Remember!" Zilong nodded with Wan'er.
Wang An said: "Then quickly spread the news that General Jiang's troops failed to defend the border pass, and Ningxia Town is already very dangerous! This time it was the Ordos Department of Mongolia that invaded south, and they and Jiang Zongbing were in a stalemate on the Great Wall for several months, but they could not take advantage of it. Now the soldiers and horses of the Bandits have broken through the three military forts near the Great Wall of Ningxia, and at least more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians have been slaughtered!"
"More than 10,000 soldiers and civilians!" Zilong's heart trembled, and then his teeth tightened, and his fists clenched. He was originally from a poor family, so he naturally knew the suffering of the common people, but now because of some kind of gangster in Hetao, he colluded with the Ordos Ministry to destroy three military forts and slaughter more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians, how could Zilong not be angry! He only wished that he could now take a horse and carry a gun, kill in front of the so-called gangsters, and also kill 10,000 people, so as to avenge the death of innocent soldiers and civilians.
Seeing Zilong like this, King An couldn't help but nod his head and said: "Yes! So the imperial court was furious, so he sent Dingguo Gong, Min Yushi, and Wei Bin to go out of Beijing with 3,000 battalions of Beijing cavalry, and prepare to join the forces of Datong, Xuanfu, and Yansui to go to Ningxia to rescue! The purpose of finding me is because I am in charge of Ningxia's government affairs these days, and they asked me to follow them back as soon as possible to raise grain and grass and supply the army!"
"Lord Wang, then the 10,000 border troops in our Ningxia City, as well as the palace guards, won't they go to war?" Zilong only felt a sharp pain in his heart at this time, and only thought that he could go to the battlefield and fight once, so as to vent the depression in his heart.
"Hey! The men and horses of Ordos are in the process of reinforcement again, and we don't know how many there are! But the number of the men and horses of the Gang is at least 30,000! This is the detection of the spies! Ningxia City is the core of Ningxia Town, if Ningxia City is touched by the men and horses of the Trap and conquered, I am afraid that Ningxia Town will be in danger! Ningxia Town is dangerous, then there will be chaos on the nine sides, and if there is chaos on the nine sides, I am afraid that the court will not be stable!" King An shook his head and said slowly, " Therefore, in this war, the main responsibility of our 10,000 border troops and 3,000 palace guards in Ningxia City is to defend Ningxia City and ensure that Ningxia Town is not lost! As for the Great War against the Ordos Department and the Taokou, it should be a matter of the 3,000 battalions and the reinforcements from the three towns!"
"This ......" Zilong was greatly disappointed when he heard this, he studied the art of war hard, just so that he could go to the battlefield and kill the enemy to serve the country. Now the tragic incident of more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians being slaughtered on the border of Ningxia has strengthened his heart to defend the country. But now King An means that the two titles he hangs, the commander of the Guards Department of King An's Mansion, and the garrison of Pingqiang Fort in Ningxia Town, all have to garrison Ningxia, and there is no chance to go to the battlefield.
King An also saw Zilong's disappointment, and immediately comforted: "Zilong, don't worry! I know that you are worried about the people, and you want to raise troops to the battlefield and kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions! But now that you have learned the art of war, you should know a word, the three armies have not moved......
"Grain and grass first!" Zilong replied casually.
"That's right!" King An nodded with a smile and said, "Dingguo Gong and Min Yushi entrusted me with the important task of grain and grass for the three armies, but I am not afraid of raising grain, protecting grain and transporting grain, but I don't have that ability!
"Don't worry, I will not dishonor the trust of the prince!" Zilong knew that the duties of this grain guard were really not light, although he could not go to the frontal battlefield, but the grain road was the top priority in the entire battle situation, and now before he returned to Ningxia, King An gave himself such a heavy responsibility, and Zilong was also moved.
"That's good!" King An has been very important to Zilong because of Zilong's recent succession, and after seeing that Zilong was slightly unhappy, he directly handed over the grain guard to Zilong to calm his heart. Seeing that Zilong agreed, King An said happily, "Then you go down now, inform the brothers, clean up now, we will follow Dingguo Gong and them to Xuanfu, and after converging the reinforcements of Xuanfu, we must rush to Ningwu Pass tomorrow!
"Zilong understands!" Zilong nodded and directly took the order to retreat. Wan'er also smiled lightly at King An and retreated with Zilong.
After Zilong came out, he found He Jin and Ma Fengyue and conveyed King An's words to the two. At that moment, the two of them received the order, He Jin went to gather the palace guards, but Ma Fengyue was the master of the Fengyue Gang who came secretly to gather, and after a while, the people and horses were gathered, and there were no less than 800 people.
King An led a mighty crowd of men and horses, and after converging Wei Bin's 3,000 battalions, they marched towards Xuanfu together. The security guards were very close to Xuanfu, and it took two or three hours for the team to see Xuanfu.
At this time, the general guard of Xuanfu had already heard the alarm, and had already gathered 20,000 reinforcements to listen to orders outside the city. After Dingguo Gong stepped forward to hand over the general army of Xuanfu Town, he directly led 20,000 Xuanfu reinforcements, and after the 3,000 battalions and King An's men and horses converged together, they marched towards Datong. In this way, at sunset, 20,000 reinforcements from Datong were gathered. At this time, the size of the army is larger, but the march is also slower.
However, the conduct of a large army is different from that of a small team, but it is much more exquisite. It was originally a journey of less than a day, and at sunset on the second day, the army marched to the vicinity of Ningwu Pass.
After Ningwu Pass, it takes less than three days to travel south to reach Yansui Town. At that moment, the army was outside Ningwu Pass, encamped, and prepared to march again on the second day.
King An's camp is in the sanitation of the army, near the center of the camp, but it is not far from the big tent of the Chinese army of Dingguogong. Zilong arranged for the brothers to set up the camp, and when he was about to go to rest, he saw a team of brocade guards, escorting a person from a distance, walking towards the camp of King An.
Zilong was also very curious, and led a few brothers out to welcome him. The leader of the brocade guard was a hundred households, and when he saw Zilong coming, he had to salute and said: "Commander Xu, we caught a spy, this person didn't say that he was a member of the Ningxia Fengyue Gang, and wanted to see the gang leader, and said that the gang leader was in King An's camp, so I escorted him over and asked about the situation!"
Hearing the words of these hundred households, Zilong looked at this person, but found that this person was indeed dressed in white, with a wooden sign hanging around his waist. Zilong stretched out his hand to take it off and found that it read: "Fengyue Gang Fengtang disciple Yi Dalong!"
At the moment, I couldn't help but believe three points, and looked at this person's face again, but saw that this person had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he didn't look like a treacherous person at all, so he immediately nodded at Jinyi Wei Baihu and said: "Well! This person is indeed our Anwang's person, Fengyue Gang is a Ningxia Hui gang, which has contributed to the stability of Ningxia! The eldest brother of Baihu is a nobleman, so he doesn't know it!"
"I see!" Jinyi Wei Baihu heard Zilong's small horse, nodded with satisfaction, and after signaling his subordinates to let go of this Fengyue Gang disciple, he said, "Since it is King An's person, I will not pursue it!" Commander Xu, I still have to take my brother on patrol, so I will leave!"
"Big brother, let's go!" Zilong nodded to the Fengyue Gang disciple and said to the Jinyi Wei Baihu.
