Shenying, who is sixty-five years old, is probably the eldest among the generals who went on this expedition. Since Tianshun first took over his father's position and was appointed the commander of the Yan'an Guards, he has served in many expeditions since then, and has been promoted to guard the Ningxia General Army, and successively guarded the Yan'an Guards.
Sui, Xuanfu, and Datong were actually the governors of the four sides. If he hadn't taken advantage of the horse market in the eleventh year of Hongzhi to secretly trade illegally with several Menggu tribesmen and made tens of thousands of dollars, he would have been confiscated from beginning to end.
People found out, and then he did not send troops to rescue when the invaders raided Yuzhou, so he was caught by Yan Guan, and he did not live alone for a while. But at least he was good at activities, and soon he made a plan.
After returning to the army, he supervised the Guo Yong camp among the 12 regiment camps. This was the second time he went on an expedition with Zhu Hui. Even so, whenever he thought of the scenery of guarding the four towns in the past, he would always sigh with emotion.
Zhu Hui requisitioned the governor's office as his temporary headquarters for the general army. Naturally, he, the left-hand general, would not wrong himself, so he chose the deputy general's palace on the street known as Fuye Street opposite the sharp gun warehouse.
He was trusted by Zhu Hui and had seniority, so others would naturally not compete with him. Deputy Commander Bai Yu was afraid that he would be fucked along with Zhang Jun, so although he was reluctant, he could only free up the main room for him.
.Sitting in the room now, he couldn't help but sigh when he thought of Xu Xun's toughness two days ago.
Think about it, wasn't it the same when he was young and vigorous? It's a pity that he didn't find a good man, and he didn't have the opportunity. The achievements of decades of hard work were completely wiped out because of a little thing.
.While he was thinking about it, he poured himself a drink. After three or four cups of the strongest drink outside the Great Wall, he gradually became a little tipsy. But at this moment, a voice came from outside the door.
"Sir, there is a messenger from the capital."
The tipsy Shenying frowned angrily, thinking that all the acquaintances in the capital had come to Xuanfu together, and there were only a few good friends left, he couldn't help but become even more impatient: "Which family sent you?
"
"The man said... ...that he was Mr. Liu of the Bell and Drum Division."
Hearing the words "Eunuch Liu of the Bell and Drum Division", Shenying jumped up and the slightest bit of drunkenness was immediately wiped away. He and Liu Jin had only been friends for a month, and they were hoping that Liu Jin could lure Zhu Houzhao.
Go to his Guoyong camp to see the soldiers training. If you can take a look at the boys he brought out, maybe he will have a chance to rise to the top. At this time, he hurriedly ordered people to come in, and he immediately called him a kiss.
The soldier packed up the wine glasses, jugs, etc. Finally, he was afraid that someone would see what was going on in the room and report back to Liu Jin, so he simply welcomed him in personally. After leaving the yard, he saw a man with triangular eyes and one of his own soldiers walking over quickly.
He hurriedly took a few steps forward.
"You've had a hard time traveling on this hot day."
"Eunuch Liu sent me on a mission, so of course I dare not neglect him." The man with triangular eyes seemed to be about to kneel down, but when he saw Shenying, he immediately reached out to support him. How could he force himself... He straightened up and took out a letter sealed with seal paste from his arms.
He handed it over to Zhuang and then said, "Eunuch Liu has given the order. After General Shen has read it, please give me a reply or a receipt so that I can go back and recover."
"Okay, okay."
After receiving the letter, Shenying felt reassured and ordered the soldiers to take the person down to entertain him. He hurried back to the house with the letter in hand. He was not like those civil servants who had to use a paper knife to cut it.
Er directly tore the envelope, took out the letter inside and took a look. Knowing that Liu Jin didn't know a few big characters, and usually let others catch the sword, he first read the small seal at the back to confirm that there was no doubt, and then read the text.
Immediately, his brows gradually knitted into a knot.
Liu Jin didn't say anything else in the letter. He only asked him to do his best to help Xu Xun and others get things done. When the time comes, he will definitely recommend him in front of the emperor and ask for rewards. If this letter had come a few days ago, he would definitely have thought it was a joke.
’ After all, it was child’s play for Zhu Hui to submit a letter before. How could he have the ability to help a kid who knew nothing to achieve something? But after seeing Xu Xun’s performance two days ago, he felt a little moved.
In the capital, Du Guoyong's camp seems to be a beautiful place, but what kind of place is that in the capital? There are many nobles and big men gathered there, and he is far from qualified to dominate. How can he compare with the commander-in-chief who guards one side? Liu Jin is today's leader.
The most useful eunuch around the young emperor, if he can help Xu Xun by the way, with the help of these two people, let alone being reinstated as the commander-in-chief, he can even hope to be made a count!
Thinking of this, he immediately took the letter and went to the desk inside. After polishing the ink himself, he pulled out a piece of paper, dipped the pen in thick ink and started writing quickly. He was used to holding a knife, so this stick was really useful.
They were not very neat, and the characters were all boxy... The smallest one was about the size of a copper coin. It was impossible to write more than ten or twenty characters on a small piece of paper. After a moment, one piece of paper was written and another was written. Three whole pieces were written.
Paper, he fully expressed what he meant. After putting the paper aside to dry, he rubbed the thick gray beard on his chin and began to think deeply. He didn't know how long it took before he heard a call from outside again.
"people……………"
"What's the matter? But the messenger is anxious to return to urge you?"
"Replying to your lord, it's not the messenger. It's Baihu Qi Liang, the avant-garde of the government army, who came to visit and said that he has something to ask for your help.
Whatever came to mind, Shenying felt as if he was dozing off and someone gave him a pillow. He immediately replied to the letter, rewarded the messenger generously and sent him back, and immediately ordered to see Qi Jiliang. When he saw the person,
He realized that the young man opposite was not yet fifteen. Even though he deliberately dressed up to be mature, he still couldn't hide the childishness on his face... He was suddenly filled with suspicion.
This Qi Jiliang is not here to deliver a message. Is it possible that Xu Xun would send such a young boy to discuss important matters with him? Furthermore, he has also heard about this son. He is the only son of Princess Renhe. It is said that Zheng Wang's case was related to
This related avant-garde who was able to join the imperial army may have been begged by the eldest princess. How could he be Xu Xun's confidant?
Facing Shenying's scrutinizing gaze, Qi Jiliang couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Although he was respected by people wherever he walked in the capital, people respected him because of his family background. Now in the military, those adults may not look at him.
His mother, the eldest princess, lost face. Thinking of Xu Xun's instructions before leaving, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then said: "My lord sent his humble post to pay homage to General Zuo, and listened to what General Zuo Zhen said.
In Datong, Yansuixuan Prefecture, Ningxia, I know the terrain on all sides clearly, so I brought a map with me and wanted to ask General Zuo for advice."
Please tell me about the terrain?
Shenying felt that Monk Zhanger was confused. When Qi Jiliang took out the map and unfolded it in front of him, and saw the locations north of Yutailing marked on it, his pupils shrank involuntarily. Those few places were marked on it.
Everywhere was the delivery route taken by his soldiers during the time when he banned trade, and there were several places in the mountains and woods where people avoided patrolling officers and soldiers. Only he knew about it. At that moment, he almost thought it was Jin Yiwei or Xichang investigating again.
After learning about his past, he was furious for a moment.
However, before he could explode, Qi Jiliang said again: "My lord heard about the past events from Xu Yanche, a hundred households, so I would like to ask my lord, is it possible for the bandits to choose these places to hide?"
Is this what it means?
Only then did Shenying suddenly realize, secretly thinking that he was old and confused, and had forgotten that the second son of Ding Guogong Xu Guangzuo was serving in front of Xu Xun's army. At this moment, he couldn't help but bend down and look at the dozen or so places carefully.
He pinched several places with his fingernails, then straightened up and said, "There are indeed only those places to hide north of Yutailing, and these are the most suspicious places. If the bandits are large in number, it is not enough to spread them out."
It's impossible, but their horse scouts are first-rate. If they rashly scout these places without alerting others, they will most likely lose their lives in vain."
Qi Jiliang knew nothing about these things, but the young master of the aristocratic family was always reserved, so he just nodded and said, "Thank you, General Zuo Shen, for the tip. I will definitely report it to my lord after I return from my humble post."
Seeing Qi Jiliang bowing his hands and about to leave, Shenying couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Now that the matter was done and he was leaving? Then Xu Xun seemed to be a first-rate shrewd man, how could he use such a stupid boy? That's what he said
With an introduction, Qi Jiliang should humbly ask how to solve the problem, so he gave some pointers. After Qi Jiliang returned like this, it was natural for Xu Xun to come to ask for advice in person. However, the designed drama was blocked by this
Nerdboys are all destroyed!
Therefore, seeing that Qi Jiliang had arrived at the door, Shenying couldn't help but blurt out: "Wait a minute! It's important, so take me to see your master!"
Due to Miao Kui's previous care, the avant-garde camp of the government army was very spacious. Xu Xun occupied three rooms alone, the open room for meeting guests, the east room for doing business, and the west room for sleeping, all of which were compared to those of ordinary wealthy families.
, which is naturally rare in the army. But compared with the Baoguo Gong Zhu Hui and other generals who are now requisitioning various mansions to live in, he is nothing. At the moment, he and Zhang Yong are sitting opposite each other, listening to Zhang Yong's narration.
After hearing a lot of information from Liu Qing, the eunuch guarding the Xuanfu, the two of them wrote and drew around a picture, discussing a few words from time to time. At this moment, a soldier called out in a low voice outside.
"Sir, Qi Baihu is back, and with him is General Zuo Shen."
"Here comes the dragon!"
Xu Xun breathed a sigh of relief, and when he saw Zhang Yong reaching out to slap him, he smiled and exchanged slaps with the person and said, "It's true that I sent someone to rush back to the capital overnight to deliver the letter to Lao Liu. Fortunately, you remembered it clearly.
Knowing that this Shenying went to great lengths to curry favor with Old Liu, and that a letter from Old Liu was more effective than all my words, I immediately sent it to my door in person!"
"With him here, and with the decree that will arrive in a day or two, Duke Baoguo no longer wants you to go to Wanquan Youwei City, and there is no reason to object!" Zhang Yong smiled, and then blinked.
He said, "The most important thing is that the two of us jointly submit a letter to ask Zhang Jun, the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, and Liu Qing, the guarding eunuch, to follow me and make a full effort to avenge the crime. The emperor will immediately win the hearts of the old Xuanfu troops!" (To be continued.!
