Chapter 161 Turtle in the Urn(1/2)

Cao Jinxing took the piece of paper.

Han Xinting and Shen Xiang sat down on the other two stone benches.

"In order to protect himself, Qiu Luan usually relies on Hou Rong to pass on messages. He knows more about the specific situation than Qiu Luan."

Shen Xiang poured herself a glass of wine and said: "Hour Rong is not a hard-nosed person. He confessed without using a few torture instruments. These are the contents of his confession."

Cao Jinxing browsed carefully.

The martial arts of the Thirteen Wings are all included.

Bai Yan: "The Art of Disguise", "The Soul-Seizing Drum", "The Art of Escape from the Earth"...

Poison King: "White Bone Yin Yang Sword", "Yin Wind Poison Sand Palm"...

Feng Ying: "The God of Immortality", the power of the wind, "The Sword Technique of the Wild Wind"...

Bone Demon: "The God of Immortality", the power of water, "Snake Bone Technique"...

Cao Jinxing looked down line by line: "Where is the stronghold?"

“Mohu Inn.”

Han Xinting's tone was cold: "Qiu Luan, those dogs, obeyed the Mongols, and actually allowed them to build such an inn under the eyes of Poluwei! They opened the inn as a military household, but in fact they were bribed traitors!"

Shen Xiang continued: "When we led the Xiaoqi camp to encircle and suppress, the Mohu Inn was already empty. I guess they also knew that Hou Rong couldn't keep a secret, so they retreated first."

"I don't think it's possible to retreat."

Cao Jinxing didn't even raise his head, his eyes were fixed on the last line on the paper, Tuo Tuo's detailed information.

"The adopted son of Ananda Khan has superb martial arts, and has eight masters under his command. He also brought in thirty-six Mongolian royal guards through the hands of traitors. I don't think he will withdraw in such a dejected manner..."

Tuotuo ventured into the city and brought with him the Thirteen Wings except Canglang and Bailu.

There are also thirty-six guards of Anda Khan, all of whom are famous warriors of the Tumut tribe.

With such a huge force, the more capable a person is, the less likely they will give up.

Han Xinting frowned and said: "Thirteen, you mean... they will take action against the Polu Guards. We have just eliminated the traitors. It would be too much to underestimate us at this time."

"I'm just guessing."

Cao Jinxing said: "It's better to be careful."

"rational."

Shen Xiang said: "With such a group of people hiding in the city, we really cannot take it lightly. Let's mix our people into patrol teams and strengthen patrols at night."

Han Xinting nodded, thought for a while and said: "Anda Khan, Kuden Khan's army is stationed on the grassland north of Dushi Pass on the Great Wall. It is inevitable that these people will cooperate with each other inside and outside. I will ask Governor Chen to remind the generals guarding the pass to be more careful. If necessary, several new artillery pieces can be transported over to strengthen the defense."

"Um."

At this troubled time, the three of them spoke concisely, determined the plan in a few words, and implemented it in a scattered manner.

Shen Xiang went to mix the Jinyi guards into the night watch team to strengthen the defense. Han Xinting went to the front yard to sign the security room and asked Chen Hui to send a letter to remind the guard of Dushi Pass.

Only Cao Jinxing and Regulus XIV were left in the courtyard.

He placed the Feng Yang Array Tray on the stone table and kept a watchful eye on the surrounding area. His hands were also busy, multitasking, and he fed Shi Shi with dried meat.

In several rooms side by side behind her, Li Guishou and two imperial doctors were looking after Zhu Qi, Huang Fanling was playing with the wine flask in the room, and the four ghosts were guarding outside her room.

Outside the General Military Mansion are the residences of a group of soldiers, including Lu Jiaming, Gu Yanzhu and other hundreds of households in the innate realm.

The General Military Mansion is under heavy protection and is very tightly defended.

forecourt.

Han Xinting went to the detention room of the General Military Mansion to meet with Chen Hui and told him what he and others had in mind.

"The three of you are absolutely right."

Chen Hui stood up, paced back and forth behind the desk, and said to himself: "Originally, I wanted to wait for a few days for the situation to stabilize before sending manpower to escort the artillery to the front line for reinforcements... The Thirteenth Wing failed to destroy the artillery, and they would have to use all their strength when they attack again.

We have to be cautious before going, but... in order to prevent this force from cooperating with the Mongolian army to attack Dushi Pass, reinforcements are imperative and we cannot be delayed by them... Well, I will immediately send an order to Zhou Yun to lead Jiang Qian.

Hu, Xu Qianhu took a small road to secretly escort five new artillery pieces there, and cooperated with the garrison to station them, just in case."

Of course Han Xinting had no objection.

Chen Hui called in a captain of the soldiers and handed him an order arrow: "Go and ask Commander Zhou, Jiang Qianhu and Xu Qianhu to tell you that there is an urgent military order and come to see me quickly."

"yes!"

The captain of the personal soldiers took the order arrow and quickly rushed out of the general military mansion and rushed to the residence of commanding Zhou Yun.

There is a saying that goes like "the iron camp is made of iron, and the soldiers are like flowing water", which means that the barracks are fixed, but every year the veterans leave and new soldiers come, just like flowing water.

But this sentence only applies to the first half of the sentence in the Ming Dynasty.

The so-called "iron camp" is most suitable to describe the Ming Dynasty's guard system.

Guards were set up at key military passes, and stations were set up at Guanjin Ferry, all with fixed barracks.

David's capitals had city walls that looked like cities, such as Tianjin Guard, Weihai Guard, and Taizhou Guard near the sea.

There are no common people inside, and all the residents are military households. Both officers and soldiers can marry and have children, and the children can inherit their father's status and serve in the army for generations.

Therefore, the term "flowing soldiers" does not apply.

Xuanfu Polu Guard faces Mongolia directly. It is the largest guard station under the command of the Command and Envoy Division in the entire Xuanda region. It has 5,600 officers and soldiers, and Zhou Yun is the commander of the Polu Guard Command and Envoy Division.

Although he is called the commander of the Guards, he is very different from the commander of the Jinyiwei. At best, he can be regarded as a local snake.

In normal times, he manages military households and garrisoned areas. In wartime, the central government selects generals to be parachuted in. During wars, he is no different from ordinary soldiers and must obey the orders from above.

Zhou Yun's residence is in the Guards Command and Envoy Office, which is only three miles away from the General Military Mansion.

The captain of the soldiers quickly arrived in front of the mansion.

About to knock on the door.

suddenly.

In the dead silence, there was a slight strange sound.

It was like the sound of a sharp knife cutting through flesh...

The soldier captain's face changed slightly.

He is Chen Hui's confidant. He is in the middle stage of Tongyou. His fighting ability and observation ability are far beyond ordinary people.

As soon as the sound rang out, he realized something was wrong. He quickly retracted his hand, secretly used the breathing technique, and quickly evacuated, arriving at a big tree two hundred meters away from the command post.

He hid behind the leaves, took out his telescope, and looked down at the entire Wei Division.

The moment his eyes fell on the mansion, his pupils instantly shrank!

I saw the guards in the guardhouse lying scattered on the ground. There were no wounds on their bodies, and they were all unconscious, just like the seventh eunuch.

"Blood Rose..."

The guard captain's face was solemn, and he continued to look, and found two Mongolians with pigtails at the door of the main room, stripping off their armor. After stripping off, they wiped their throats with a knife. As a result, those people's lives were lost, and their bodies fell in a pool of blood.

Only the inner clothes were left, slowly stained red with blood...

Damn Tatars!

The soldier captain's eyes were blood red and he clenched his fists.

It turned out to be the sound of throat cutting!

But why do they need armor?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, he heard a creak, the door opened, and Zhou Yun walked out. Behind him were eight of his soldiers.

Just looking at their appearance, these people were really lifelike, but they were completely unaware of the corpses on the ground, and instead let the two Mongolians take the armor out...

The captain of the guard instantly understood what was going on.

These Tatars are trying to fool themselves!

That Zhou Yun commanded...

The captain of the soldiers glanced at the main room and tried his best to suppress the sadness and anger in his heart, fearing that Commander Zhou Yun had already...

Seeing these people walking out of the Command Department, heading straight to the General Military Mansion, they quickly disappeared on the street.

The captain of the guard was extremely anxious and hurriedly flew down the tree, took a shortcut from the trail and disappeared into the darkness.

"He who comes is stopped!"

There was a low shout in front of the General Military Mansion, and four soldiers on duty raised their swords.

"Please inform Governor Chen and Commander Zhou Yun to ask for a meeting. We have urgent military information to report!"

Baiyan made an anxious expression on Zhou Yun's face. Her disguise skills were really amazing. Not only did her appearance exactly the same, but her accent was also exactly the same!

"It turns out to be Commander Zhou, please wait a moment, I will inform you sir."

The four soldiers saluted, and one of them turned around and ran into the signing room in the front yard.

Baiyan and the others originally thought it would be soon, but it was time for a cup of tea and they still hadn't come out yet.
To be continued...
