This time, Chen Leng and his team returned to Dongjiang, but there were not many people. The personal military camp divided up more than half to escort Cha Ye and the others back, and the remaining people were only two or three hundred. The team had a small number of people and the speed was faster.

Chen Leng is a person that is difficult to describe. If you say he is lazy, there are few people who are more diligent in practicing and studying than him. If you say he is not lazy, he will never ride a horse when he can ride a carriage when he is on the road.

People who don’t ride horses often have a sense of novelty, which allows ordinary people to know what it feels like after sitting on the horse’s back for a day.

So this time, Chen Leng borrowed a lot of big carts from the Northern Army. The soldiers were much more relaxed in the cart than on the horse's back, but such days would also seem boring. The climate here is bitter and cold, and most of the time the soldiers squeezed together to keep warm.

The most important thing is that there is no military post supply in the snowy field in the northern border. If you are hungry, you have to worry more about your hunger. However, Chen Leng could not determine how long the northern border army would face off in the Mituo River. The sky was high and the earth was far away, and the logistics supply was also difficult. There were also the harassed and attacks of the defeated black military soldiers along the way, so he did not bring much food and grass from the barracks.

Walk all the way from the northern border to the southeast. It takes a thousand miles to leave the banks of the Mituo River before you can reach Gedicheng. After passing Gedicheng, you will be in the Xifengkou camp in Daning. It will take at least two months to enter the pass from Xifengkou to return to the Dongjiang Naval Camp.

Chen Leng was afraid that his personal soldiers would be abandoned along the way. He spent most of his day in the carriage on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month. After noon, Chen Leng felt uncomfortable all over and took the soldiers to hunt horses. There were many silly roe deer here, but Chen Leng felt that it was not fun, so he decided to catch some difficult things, such as... hunting wolf.

The wolves on the ice field are more fierce and cunning. They will follow the convoy, but they will not act rashly. Of course, they will avoid teams with a large number, but they will never let go of three or five people or single pedestrians.

Wolves are one of the most craving for food in the world and are also the most brutal. Chen Leng doesn’t like wolves and decides to hunt wolves because the wolf meat is delicious, it’s just a bit challenging.

When it was dark, the cavalry slaughtered a pack of wolves, and the wolves on the ice field were more vicious than wolves elsewhere because there was less food here.

After dark, they camped in a birch forest. Even if there was no snow on the day, the north wind swept away, and the snow on the ground rolled up like heavy snowfall. The snowflakes hit their faces like flying knives.

"The people are divided into three teams to take turns to serve the night."

Chen Leng asked the convoy to stop beside the birch forest. The carts formed a circle and secret whistles were set up around.

Chen Leng sat down beside the fire: "This area is not peaceful, our troops are not arranged, and many small tribes make a living by plundering, not just them. Many of the black martial border troops that were defeated at the time have become horse bandits, small tribes robbers robbers, and horse bandits robbed small tribes."

Chen Leng added firewood to the fire and said, "From here to Gedi City, the business trips have basically been cut off, so those small tribes start to migrate and have to survive. The horse bandits are better, after all, there are tribes that don't leave.

Chen Ran said: "I am looking forward to the unopening horse bandits. After all, we didn't get any benefits when we went back this time. Alas... it was the first time we went out to fight and returned empty-handed, so I was not used to it."

Chen Leng said: "What else do you want? I've taken Old Wang and the others back, which is better than anything else."

Chen Ran said: "I know you're right, but... Look, we can turn two ships out when we go to our Anyang dock, and we can also get some supplies out when we go to our arsenal. This..."

He sighed: "Forget it, don't want to sleep anymore."

Chen Leng: "People can't be too greedy, what are those horse bandits?

Is there anything besides Mado? Are some horses worth our hands? I am a great general of the Dongjiang Navy, and you are a group of generals. Because some of the horses in the hands of the bandits can't walk, it was reported that our navy members had never seen the world and robbed everything."

"If those horse bandits are rich, we can get a lot of money by robbing them once, but they are all so poor that they don't have the next meal."

Chen Leng shook his head: "Go to sleep and go home steadily."

An hour later, just after midnight, outside a horse bandit camp, Chen Leng and Chen Ran quietly poked their heads out of the dead grass. Beside them was a horse bandit's silence body.

Chen Leng looked at Chen Ran and complained: "Is it okay to sleep well? For this reason, the horse is worth not even sleeping? You are also a fourth-grade general. Can you have a higher vision?"

Chen Ran: "I'm going to... who can't sleep and kick me up with one kick."

Chen Leng: "Look at you, you don't like to listen to it."

Chen Ran: "I..."

Wang Kuohai, who was beside him, lowered his voice and said, "To be honest, I really don't like this kind of small thing. I don't mean anything. It's so exciting to fight tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of black warriors on the battlefield. I just deal with a group of horse bandits with hundreds of people. I stayed up all night and didn't sleep... I really don't like those hundreds of horses."

Chen Leng looked at the moonlight. At this time, the bandits should be sleeping properly. He reached forward and pointed: "Fight quickly."

Wang Kuohai was still muttering: "I really don't want to go on this small scene. I just want to kill the black warriors to steal a few horses. Alas..."

Hearing Chen Leng say that the battle will be decided quickly, Wang Kuohai suddenly jumped out, and directly knocked the wooden wall of the bandit camp against the giant shield.

"Kill the horse and rob the black warrior!"

That loud shout.

He covered his face with cold listening.

It's dawn.

More than a thousand war horses were added to the team back to Dongjiang, and it looked spectacular behind the carriage. Wang Kuohai, who was lying on the carriage, was still hanging outside. Who said he was so tall, it was a little longer than the carriage? This guy was sleeping soundly, and his snoring was so loud.

Chen Ran was sleeping next to him, but she was so noisy that she couldn't sit up. She looked at Wang Kuohai snoring with her mouth open and touched around her for a while, but there was nothing suitable. She wanted to pull out the smelly socks on her feet and stuff them into his mouth.

Chen Ran jumped out of the carriage and ran to a car in front. After getting on the car, he squeezed Chen Leng to the side. Chen Leng was asleep. He opened his eyes and looked in a daze: "Ah? Didn't you say you slept with a big man? He said that the big man had the same mind as the sea, and could keep warm."

Chen Ran: "He also has snoring like a tsunami."

He lay down next to Shen Leng: "Just for more than a thousand horses, do you think it's worth it? I'm so sleepy... I told you that I'll sleep well tonight, no matter how sweet the horse bandit's nest is, I won't beat it."

Chen Leng: "Whoever hits who is the dog, sleep."

Chen Ran: "You are right, whoever hits the dog is the dog!"

Day passes quickly and night falls.

Fires surged into the sky in the camp of a small tribe, and at least hundreds of horse bandits suddenly rushed into the small tribe. They whistled like the wind, and after rushing in, they began to set fires, and everyone they met was killed.

After the battle with Daning, these Heiwu border troops who were stranded in this area had no way to go. They did not know whether the way back was safe or not, nor did they know if they would be executed by deserters according to military rules after returning, so they could only become horse bandits outside.

They rushed back and forth between tribes, snatching some horses, food and women today, and snatching them again tomorrow. The tribes who lived in an area for generations were also in trouble. They avoided the northern expedition of Pei Tingshan, the general of the Eastern Frontier Swordsman, and did not avoid the Black Martial Border Army, who thought they were their own people.

There were ghosts and wolves howling in the camp, and the firelight shone everywhere.

Outside the camp, Chen Leng poked his head out of the grass: "Wow...Wow...Wow, Wow."

Chen Ran nodded: "Wo Wang."

Then Chen Ran waved backwards, and the personal soldiers who were ambushing the grass immediately pulled up the war horses that were pressed to the ground. They quickly plundered the horses and killed them behind the horse bandits.

Chen Leng looked at Chen Ran: "Wow, wool, wool, wool..."

Chen Ran frowned: "Wang Wang, wool, wool, wool, wool, wool, wool, wool, wool, wool, wool, wool, wool, wool, wool, wool, wool, wool, wool, wool, wool, wool, wool, wool, wool, wool, wool, wool, wool, wool,

Chen Leng sighed: "Even said he won't fight."

Chen Ran: "If you beat me again, you will be a pig."

Chen Leng: "Pig is okay, fortunately you didn't say that you were a turtle again. How did you call a turtle?"

Chen Ran: "The turtle should be...who are you talking about? "

On the morning of the 27th day of the 12th lunar month, there were already 5,000 horses behind the carriage team, and there were 40 or 50 more carriages. In addition to war horses and taxi rides, there were also many cattle and sheep, and the team looked very magnificent.

In the carriage, Chen Ran squeezed beside Shen Leng again and yawned: "I agreed that I can't beat you tonight."

Chen Leng: "Well... I can't fight anymore."

Chen Ran: "What's the matter if you fight again?"

Chen Leng: "Is it interesting?"

On the 27th day of the 12th lunar month, His Majesty's decree was officially announced in the court that the Sheng family was arrested because they involved a major case. The case was handed over to the Tingwei Mansion and the Ministry of Justice for trial, and Han Huanzhi was the chief official.

All the lords of the Sheng family were seized, all the property was seized, and all the business of the Sheng family was thoroughly investigated in the entire Daning. The largest business of the Sheng family was in Dongjiang, so the emperor ordered the Navy General Chen Leng as the imperial envoy to investigate the business of the Sheng family in Dongjiang.

After reading this decree, the whole court was quiet for a long time. Although the Sheng family was confiscated on the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month, the Sheng family's decree was completely overwhelmed, but the failure of His Majesty's decree does not mean that the Sheng family has been completely finished.

After this decree is delivered, everyone knows that His Majesty is going to start to take action. This is not the end, this is the beginning.

Chen Leng restored his post as a second-rank general and restored his throne to the Duke of the Kingdom.

This sentence made many people regret it. Although they did not add to the insult, they were deliberately alienated. Not everyone's vision was so high and far, and not everyone could withstand the pressure.

At the court.

After His Majesty and the other party read the decree, His Majesty stood up and walked to the edge of the platform. His eyes swept across the civil and military officials of the court. After a moment of pause, he said, "There is another thing I want to announce that next year, I will let the East China Navy Expedition to Sang Kingdom, so I will add some more to the decree... The East China Navy General Chen Leng led the military affairs of the East Xinjiang and controlled five roads, including the Bohai Channel. The Bohai Channel General Yan Kaisong was also controlled by Chen Leng, and... also including the East China Sabre General Meng Chang'an."

The emperor paused for a moment and continued, "When preparing for war, the five civil affairs and military affairs in the East Xinjiang can be seized and dealt with in a state of affairs, and has the right to make arbitrary decisions on the occasion."
