Chapter 126: Zeng Ying's Southward Journey, The Wind of a Barbarian Girl

Although the two of them did not have the same mind, they both saw the other's thoughts at this time - could everything this person said be true?

"Take this person down first and keep him under safe custody." Liu Linshang waved his hand and said.

The soldiers came immediately to take Li Zhenwu away.

Li Zhenwu said, "That magic lamp was given to me by Her Royal Highness the Princess. Can you return it to me?"

He didn't want the treasure from future generations to be left to Liu Lin and Zeng Yingmi.

Liu Linchang was slightly embarrassed. He did not take the initiative to return the magic lamp, and indeed he meant to ignore it.

Not to mention anything else, if there is this magic lamp for lighting at night, I wonder how much better it will be than oil lamps and candles, so that he can read without straining his eyes.

After thinking about it for a while, he still couldn't give it up, so he said shamelessly: "We need to take another look at this thing. Otherwise, who knows whether what you said is true or false?"

Li Zhenwu felt speechless and thought, isn't this Liu Lin too thick-skinned? Is he really the talent the princess needs?

Thinking that Liu Linchang had not taken it by force, he said: "I can let you see, but this magic lamp has a limited power and cannot be turned on all the time. Otherwise, it must be charged before it can continue to be used when the power is used up. Currently, only Her Royal Highness can bring this thing back."

Recharge for the Hereafter.”

Liu Linchang and Zeng Ying looked at each other again and found that each other seemed to be fools.

They understood every word Li Zhenwu said, but together they really couldn't understand it.

It is probably saying that this magic lamp is actually similar to an oil lamp. Electricity is like oil. It can be used up. When it is used up, it must be replenished?

After coughing slightly, Liu Linzhang said: "Then you can tell me how to turn the magic lamp on and off."

Li Zhenwu had no choice but to teach Liu Linchang how to turn on and off the portable lamp.

Otherwise, the power of this thing will run out, and he won't be able to use it until he returns to the princess.

After Li Zhenwu was taken away, Liu Linchang played with the lantern in admiration and asked: "Yanhou, do you believe what this man said?"

"I don't believe it." Zeng Ying said, but then he changed his words, "But if you don't believe what he said, the various problems he mentioned cannot be explained at all."

"So you still believe him?"

Zeng Ying smiled after hearing this, "Don't you tend to believe it when you join politics? Besides, if he is Li Zicheng's man, why would he deceive us into defending Chengdu? Unless all Chengdu officials have voted for Li Zicheng."

Liu Linchang said: "I don't know about other officials in Chengdu, but Liu Xunjian will never surrender to the thieves."

Zeng Yingdao: "Then the matter of the princess supervising the country is true."

Liu Linchang tried to turn on and off the portable lamp, but frowned and was speechless for a moment.

In fact, he no longer had many doubts about the fact that the princess was favored by God and had great supernatural powers, but it was still difficult to accept the fact that the princess was supervising the country - if the superintendent was replaced by a prince or another prince, he had already urged Zeng Ying to do so.

We broke camp and went to Chengdu.

It's a pity that the protagonist of this incident is a princess...

This was obviously because of Si Chen. As an official with a Confucian background, this matter always made him feel uncomfortable.

At this time, Zeng Ying said again: "Participating in politics, according to the news that I heard from the last general, Zhang Thief had sworn to go out a few days ago, and the army divided into three groups to attack Chengdu.

If Chengdu is captured by Zhang's thieves again, its power will definitely be even greater. I'm afraid that by then, various places in central Sichuan will be in despair, and the situation will be even more ruined."

The meaning of Zeng Ying's words is obvious. Whether Chengdu can hold on will have a great impact on the subsequent changes in the situation in Sichuan.

Liu Linchang also knew this, so he sighed deeply and said, "Okay, you can go talk to Li Zhenwu again and prepare to break camp and set off based on the situation."

"I will obey my orders!"

Zeng Ying responded and strode out of the official hall.

At this time, he was only a general, and in theory he was still subject to the control of Liu Linchang, the governor of eastern Sichuan, in participating in politics. Naturally, he had to seek Liu Linchang's opinion when doing things.

Li Zhenwu was a little surprised to see Zeng Ying come to see him so soon.

But after hearing Ming Zengying's intentions, he was very happy - the main task assigned by the princess should be completed!

"The only Jin Yiwei who accompanied the princess into Sichuan were me and Gao Qianhu. Because of time constraints, he and I split up.

I came here to look for General Zeng, Liu Shenzheng, and Gao Qianhu went to Jianwei, Jiading Prefecture to look for Yang Zhan.

If General Zeng believes in me, break camp and set off as soon as possible, Her Royal Highness the Princess has said that the battle for Chengdu is likely to begin in early August."

After hearing these words, Zeng Ying said: "In that case, we will first go south to Hejiang, Luzhou Prefecture, and then go upstream along the river, passing Xuzhou, Jiading, and Meizhou to Chengdu.

But in this case, we won’t be able to bring too many soldiers and horses, and at most we will bring more than a thousand elites with us.”

Li Zhenwu asked: "How many troops does General Zeng have at Nanping Pass?"

"More than 4,000 people, less than 5,000, and there are many wounded soldiers among them."

Li Zhenwu said: "I heard that Zhang Xianzhong now claims to have an army of one million. So what is the difference between General Zeng taking more than a thousand elite troops to Chengdu and taking 4,000 remaining soldiers?

I think what Her Royal Highness the Princess would rather see is General Zeng and Liu Shenzheng, rather than their troops."

In fact, when Zhu Aao asked Li Zhenwu to find someone, he did not mention Zeng Ying's troops at all.

After hearing this, Zeng Ying smiled boldly and said: "Well, I will only take more than a thousand elites to Chengdu!"

On that day, Zeng Ying reorganized the troops and horses at Nanping Pass.

The next morning, after having breakfast early, he headed south with more than a thousand elite soldiers and horses.

Li Zhenwu also finally met Zeng Ying's confidante Dong Qiongying.

I saw that Dong Qiongying was only sixteen or seventeen years old and had three hundred barbarian female soldiers.

These barbarian women climb mountains and forests as if they were walking on flat ground. They are also good at shooting, and their arrows are filled with poison, so their combat prowess is considerable.

Dong Qiongying heard about yesterday's events from Zeng Ying and was also very curious about Zhu Aona.

She also had the style of a barbarian girl who did not stick to trivial matters, so she came to chat with Li Zhenwu during the march.

"The princess can really go to the next generation. Did she know about me from the history books of the next generation?"

"Yes." Li Zhenwu replied honestly.

Dong Qiongying laughed happily after hearing this: "Can I, a woman, also leave a name in history?"

Li Zhenwu said: "Of course ordinary women can't, but extraordinary women who are willing to make contributions to the country can. You know General Qin Liangyu of Shizhu, right? She will definitely leave her name in history."

Dong Qiongying said: "Of course I know, the one I admire most is Old General Qin."

Li Zhenwu followed her words and said: "With the princess' appreciation, I believe that the girl will be more famous in the future than she was originally in history."

In fact, Li Zhenwu was originally not as involved in military affairs as women, but since he followed Zhu Yuluo, his perception has been severely subverted. Now it is easy to accept a strange woman like Dong Qiongying.

Then Dong Qiongying asked about some things about the red lady.

Li Zhenwu also talked about it one by one, which made Dong Qiongying look forward to what would happen after meeting Zhu Yushuo, and she wished she could spread her wings and fly to Chengdu.

Zeng Ying, on the other hand, felt a little jealous when she saw Dong Qiongying talking and laughing with Li Zhenwu all the way.

However, by the second day, there was nothing new to discover about Li Zhenwu, so Dong Qiongying stopped talking to him.

It can be seen that although Dong Qiongying has a barbarian style, she is not unclear in her mind, and she still knows the appropriateness of some things relatively clearly.

Because Zhang Xianzhong sent almost all his troops to the west to attack Chengdu, the military strength in eastern Sichuan was naturally weak.

Therefore, although Zeng Ying and others had more than a thousand people, they traveled south without encountering any obstruction by bandits, and they arrived at Hejiang, Luzhou in just two days.

Then they went upstream from the river in the territory, and their marching speed was not slow.

When passing through Luzhou and Xuzhou, Liu Linchang called on local soldiers and horses to support Chengdu as a political participant.
