Wu Sangui's voice was very soft and could hardly be heard by everyone in the tent. However, they saw Chang Yu's expression changing from time to time, nodding and shaking his head. He was really curious, but it was not easy to pry.
After a long while, Chang Yu sighed: "Maybe it's possible, but I'd better listen to everyone's opinions." Wu Sangui told everyone what he was thinking, and the whole room was in an uproar. Everyone talked endlessly until late at night.
Fang Zhi went back to his tent to rest.
The sky was slightly bright and the camp was quiet. Chang Yu got out of the tent and looked around. Except for Song Luoshu and the Chen brothers who were on duty outside the tent, none of the other servants and generals got up. There were several patrol teams in the distance.
I walked slowly, my footsteps very light.
Chang Yu signaled Song Luoshu and the Chen brothers to rest, then walked to the lake to wash his face, and then did some stretching exercises. Just as he was about to run along the lake, he saw Su Jingjing jumping out of the carriage not far away and said hello.
: "Did you sleep well?".
Su Jing hummed, went to the lake to wash her face, and caught up with Chang Yu who was running and said, "I want to go back."
"Going back to Nanjing?" Chang Yu nodded: "This place is really not suitable for you. There are many inconveniences in joining the army, and seeing too much fighting has a great impact on a person's heart and spirit..."
"No," Sujing interrupted him: "I think it's time to do what you told me to do!" Chang Yu was startled and then nodded: "It's a long journey, let Song Luoshu accompany you."
"No need." Su Jing shook her head: "I like to walk alone." She said with a slight smile: "I may have trouble walking on the battlefield, but I can walk alone in the world. Don't worry, good news will come in half a month or a month."
"Well... you look pretty when you smile." Chang Yu saw Su Jing smile for the first time and found it very beautiful.
Su Jing frowned: "Did you see a ghost in broad daylight? When did I ever laugh!"
"Okay, maybe I'm dazzled." Chang Yu shrugged: "Have you enough money on your body? If you need anything, just ask. By the way, you can go to Kuang Ren and ask for a waist card. If you encounter trouble or need something locally,
If you want help, just go to the local government office or from Jinyiwei or Dongchang."
Su Jing nodded slightly: "You don't have to worry about me, just have a good fight. I hope you will have returned victorious when we meet again."
"Well, take care!" Normally, Su Jing is rarely seen in Riyu and he has no thoughts about her. Today, he felt reluctant to say goodbye to her.
Half an hour later, the sky was bright. Chang Yu, who was sweating profusely from running, jumped directly into the lake and took a bath. As soon as he climbed up, he saw Wuzhong peeing in the trees by the lake. He got angry and kicked him into the lake.
Middle: "You've been told repeatedly not to relieve yourself by the lake, so you're going to be special, right? If tens of thousands of people in the entire army are like you, then there won't be shit and urine everywhere for miles around, and you'll be fined with this month's salary..."
Wuzhong in the lake made a fierce move and ran far away before showing his head and laughed loudly: "It's a fine, this year's fine will be confiscated. Where did this month come from?"
Chang Yu then remembered that all his salary had been spent.
"You have a lot of debts everywhere, but you still have the nerve to smile." Chang Yu curled his lips, and Wuzhong looked indifferent: "It's really not possible to go to the battlefield tomorrow and kill a few thieves to earn some bounty to supplement the money first."
The two people were noisy, and the military camp became noisy. The soldiers began to get up one after another, wash up, make fires, make food, drink and feed the horses, and everyone got busy.
When Chang Yu returned to the tent, Chang Bian had prepared a rich breakfast for him, including two steamed buns, broth and two eggs. As the chief eunuch of Dongchang, there must be more than ten eunuchs or eunuchs around him no matter where he is.
He was served by maids. In the previous dynasty, not to mention Wei Zhongxian's level, the pomp of a mere eunuch overseeing the army was unimaginable.
But Chang Yu is always different and hates this kind of behavior. On weekdays, there are only two young eunuchs serving tea and water in the yamen. On the way out of Beijing, he picked up a girl named Lian Xin. Now he has left Nanjing. This kind of work is not easy.
It was taken over by the mute groom Chang Ben.
Chang Bian squatted at the door of the tent, holding a bowl of broth and wolfing down the steamed buns with a satisfied look on his face. Chang Yu glanced at him: "Chang Bian, has anyone bullied you recently?"
Chang Bian shook his head vigorously and made babbling gestures. Chang Yu couldn't understand and shook his head and said: "If someone bullies you, go to Kuang Ren or Master Qiao or Master Chen."
Wuwuwuwuwu... Chang Bian stood up and opened his eyes wide, making strokes on his hand. Chang Yu raised his eyebrows: "Are you talking about Wuzhong?"
Chang Bian nodded vigorously, and Chang Yu's face darkened: "Did he bully you?"
Chang Bian shook his head vigorously again, and then started playing tricks at the door. Only then did Chang Yu understand: "He is teaching you martial arts, so you should study hard..." While talking, Tu Yuan, Jia Waixiong and Lao Jiu came.
"Master Governor, are you looking for us?"
Chang Yu waved for them to sit down and ordered the soldiers outside to bring some more food to eat together: "There is work."
"Damn! It's finally our turn." Tu Yuan and the other three slammed the table together and splashed soup all over Chang Yu. Several people hurriedly wiped him and apologized. Chang Yu gritted his teeth angrily: "If I wasn't worried that I couldn't defeat you three, I would have beaten him.
If you just have a meal, this matter will not be over..."
"The Governor told the three of us to remember it first, and later we will do the work and atone for our sins." Jia Waixiong chuckled: "But let us take the vanguard?"
Chang Yu nodded: "The scouts have reported that there are many rebels from Hubei Province. When the third battalion goes to meet them, kill them and drive them away. I heard that Guichi County is in ruins. Go and take a look..."
The three of them took the order, ate breakfast in a hurry, and then went to mobilize the troops to leave the camp and go south.
The generals here also got up and had breakfast and gathered under Chang Yu's tent. After a brief discussion, they decided to send troops southward. Unsurprisingly, it was the descended soldiers from Wang Ti who went first, followed by Jin Shenghuan, and finally Wu Sangui and Ma Ke. Because Dongchang
The guards have gone to the vanguard, and the generals also know that today is just a rush and there is no chance of a large-scale killing. The soldiers are not under pressure. After eating and drinking, they break camp and start their troops.
Nearly a thousand riders of the Dongchang Third Battalion went south from the Qingtong River along the riverside. The terrain gradually opened up for a few miles. Looking eastward, all they could see were hills, swamps, cottages and woods. Tu Yuan ordered a hundred riders to go to investigate, and as expected, they tracked down several thousand riders.
The thief spies who were riding and hiding among them were killed after a short while.
"This place is only a few miles away from the main camp, and the bandits have penetrated quite deeply." Lao Jiu frowned: "I don't know if they sneaked in last night or this morning."
"The Governor only sent a few scouts south for reconnaissance earlier. We have to collect intelligence and conduct counter-reconnaissance, so we don't have enough manpower. Let's just pull out a net, big or small," Jia Waixiong said coldly. Tu Yuan and Lao Jiu nodded, each
He ordered his subordinates to spread out and advance southward like a dragnet.
At nearly half noon, as they approached Guichi County, they saw a small stone city standing in the southeast in the distance. When the three of them were about to ride their horses, they saw several horses approaching at a rapid speed. In the blink of an eye, there were four or five officers and soldiers scouting them.
All of them were wounded, but one person still had an arrow stuck in his back: "General, we are under General Jin's command and have been ordered to search and wipe out the ruined city of Guichi. We don't want to be ambushed by the bandit army, killing more than ten people..."
When Tu Yuan and others heard this, they asked how many thieves there were inside. The scouts said that there were thirty or forty people hiding in the dark places in the city who suddenly burst out...
"You guys go back to the main camp first to bandage up." Tu Yuan then ordered the third battalion to go outflank, and hundreds of horses rolled away wildly. The rebel spies hiding in the city discovered the situation and quickly fled out of the city. However, there is a large lake to the north of the city and mountains to the east.
The third battalion happened to be outflanking them from the northwest. With nowhere to escape, they had to go back into the city, where they were blocked by the third battalion.
In just one stick of incense, more than twenty thieves' heads were brought to Tu Yuan and the others: "Head, there are three more who are being tortured."
When Tu Yuan and his three men were about to enter the city to see how the city was being destroyed by the bandits, dozens of cavalry came from the northwest far away. The three of them frowned and looked: "Hey, they are from the Guards Camp. Could it be that the Governor is here?"
