  Chapter 1014 Raid on the self-written scroll (1)

   A group of people chatted and laughed and quickly made an appointment for a game of cards, and set them up in a flower hall in the former general's mansion in the three camps.

In addition to Liu Guoquan, Xie Xian, Qiu Bingzhong and Chen Ruishi, there were a few other people watching the fun, such as He Zhichun, two guerrillas from the Fifth Army Battalion, Yue Shizhong, a son of Shoushanbo He's family, a Chuanning Marquis Yue's son, and others. Qi Jianyao, a guerrilla general of the Shenji Battalion, is a member of the Qi family of the Marquis of Xiangyang, and the direct younger brother of Qi Jianhui, the current head of the Qi family.

   "Two barrels!"

   "Touch!" Qiu Bingzhong said with a smile: "Yaoji, Mr. Liu, do you want to? Seeing that you have been playing the box and the word, are you doing all of them?"

   "Is Qing Yise so easy to do?" Liu Guoquan said angrily, "I have never seen Lao Xie squeeze the notes so tightly that he was reluctant to take out one,..."

"Hehe, this is how Lao Xie plays cards. He is reluctant to play anything. As long as it is a raw card that has not been played, he will definitely wait until someone else plays it, even if he can't play it in the end..." Chen Ruishi continued: "He is You can use the rudder according to the wind, and if you see that someone is going to make a big show, you have to change course."

"Master Rui, why do you change the rudder when you see the wind, are you the one with this temper?" Xie Xianqi said with a snort, "Could it be that I know that other people want to be uniform, but I still have to send it up eagerly, and wait until they take my money?" No? By the way, didn’t you say the other day that Shi Ding, the historian, was also looking for the Ministry of War and wanted to come to the Fifth Army Battalion? Our Fifth Army Battalion is indeed short of a general. Shi Ding only needs to connect the Ministry of War with Lord Chen, but the historian is not Are you going to follow His Royal Highness Shou Wang’s way again? Why did you go to pay respects to Mr. Zhang’s wharf again? Is this called changing the course when the wind blows?”

"That's no way." Chen Ruishi said cheerfully: "Shi Nai paid a lot of money to let His Royal Highness Shou Wang go down to clear the military department and let Shi Nai go to Datong, but Shi Nai can't live well in Datong. Why, it is said that after writing the letter, he scolded the King of Shou for taking the silver and not doing anything. He is a short-term general and has no power. He has to continue to spend money, and even wants to take his brother's daughter as a concubine..."

"King Shou didn't expect to like this one so much. Then Shi Nai didn't go in the right direction. Why don't you just send his dead brother's daughter to Shou Wang? How many years has his dead brother been dead?" Qiu Bingzhong said unceremoniously: "I heard that his niece was also used as a maid in his house, and that girl simply ran to the Jia's house in Rongguo Mansion and refused to go back to Shi's house, so Shi Nai That's why I simply want to give this niece to King Shou as a concubine,..."

   "Ninety thousand,..."

   "Boom! I'm sorry, Mr. Qiu,..." Xie Xianle blossomed.

"Unlucky! If you talk about historians, you're going to point at them. This historian is unlucky." Qiu Bingzhong scolded a few words, "Shi Nai is going to give his niece to King Shou as a concubine, and maybe he can make a fortune for his younger brother Shi Ding." What about the generals of the Fifth Army Battalion?"

"Hehe, Mr. Qiu, are you joking? How can His Royal Highness Shou Wang be able to handle the generals of our Fifth Army Battalion? Without the Ministry of War and the cabinet nodding, His Highness Shou Wang is useless even if he pats his chest." Xie Xian sneered, "Beijing Camp How can it be compared to officials in those wild places in other places?"

"The money spent by the Shi family is a big loss. No wonder Shi Nai has been very dissatisfied, and let his younger brother go to Shou Wang several times, which made Shou Wang afraid to meet the Shi family." Chen Ruishi also laughed. up.

"Actually, Shi Ding can plan the Denglai Army." Liu Guoquan also rarely interjected, "Isn't Wang Ziteng recruiting troops in Huguang now? The Wang family and the Shi family are the fourth oldest families in Jinling. Find Wang Ziteng and ask Wang Ziteng to say hello at the Ministry of War, it is estimated that the Ministry of War will not set up obstacles."

"Master Liu, you are just joking. Yang Yinglong is rebellious. He has been arguing with Sichuan Chengxuan, the political envoy, and Guansi. The Sichuan capital is also actively preparing for the war. Geng Ruqi has arrived in Chongqing. This is obviously aimed at Bozhou. Yes, Yang Yinglong won't be unaware, Yang He arrived in Yunyang, and Wang Ziteng's Denglai army traveled thousands of miles to Huguang, Yang Yinglong wouldn't go to Huguang to bask in the sun just because the Denglai army was full and overstretched. Sun?"

  Han Shangyu, who had just stepped into the door, answered: "A guy like Shi Ding, how dare he go to Huguang? Then there might be a real war."

"War?" Liu Guoquan snorted coldly, "Do you think Wang Ziteng went to Huguang to fight the war? How long has he been in Huguang? Either he is bedridden due to illness today, or the soldier has a stroke tomorrow. This Huguang is not Yungui, a land of fish and rice. Where did so much miasma come from? If you don’t want to fight, you can say it clearly, but you still have to worry about the Denglai Army being taken over by Yang He, so you play tricks, right? Fortunately, he is also a veteran, and he doesn’t know how to find something new if he plays tricks and excuses Reason, isn’t this deliberately making excuses for the censors?”

"Hmph, the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate can also impeach other people, does Wang Ziteng care?" Qiu Bingzhong casually threw out a card: "70,000! As long as the emperor doesn't nod his head and stay in the middle, he won't let you down." Those people from the procuratorate can only bark a few times and let it go."

   "The emperor will never nod, unless the Supreme Emperor is gone." Yue Shizhong, who was watching the excitement, pouted.

"Not necessarily,..." Qi Jianyao shook his head, "Anything is possible these days, but it has nothing to do with us. How can we survive in these three camps until November? I guess the Mongols will It's time to quit, when we return to the capital city, everyone will be happy."

"It's not bad to be here. As long as the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households are willing to give money, I think we can stay here forever. We will pay a share of money if we stay for two months, and another share of money if we stay for another two months. Even if I stay until this time next year, I'd be happy." He Zhichun said cheerfully.

A group of people playing cards, bragging bragging, Han Shangyu originally came in to have something to say to Liu Guoquan, but was interrupted when he came in, so he was taken aside, and it took a while before he remembered his purpose: "Master Liu , Is there any news from the Taiping camp?"

"Shang Yu, didn't the news come yesterday that the Nekhka people had arrived at Qian'an City two days ago? It is estimated that the Nekhka people should be building siege equipment in the past two days, and they are ready to fight?" Liu Guoquan said casually: "I don't know if Feng Tang dares to risk the world's displeasure by dispatching troops from Liaodong to support Feng Ziying's Yongping Mansion?"

"But my lord, shall we also arrange some visits to Qian'an to have a look and see how the battle is going? Maybe the Nekalkas have already defeated Qian'an, and they will continue to fight Lulong. Or have other ideas?"

Han Shangyu is considered a relatively sober person in the entire Beijing camp. He always feels that the tens of thousands of Neikalkha troops have entered, and Feng Ziying is not someone who is waiting for nothing. You should also find out.

Although these three camps are far away from Qian'an, and there is still the Jizhen army in front of them, with Feng Ziying's ability, I am afraid that no matter what, it will take a few days. One or two reinforcements are needed, and the fight will not be accurate, but I don't know the situation, and I still feel uneasy.

Hearing what Han Shangyu said, Liu Guoquan also felt that he seemed a little too careless, and thought for a while, "That's fine, Shang Yu, you can arrange a group of scouts to go to Qian'an to see the fighting situation there. In addition, send people to Taiping Camp to inquire about the situation. They are more nervous than us. Someone must be watching Qian'an. .”

Although Liu Guoquan is nominally the coach this time, the Beijing camp has always had clear barriers. Except for the general of the Fifth Army Battalion who can control the Shenji Battalion and the Shenshu Camp, the deputy general of the Fifth Army Battalion like Liu Guoquan can't control the internal affairs of the Shenji Battalion. I can only tell Qiu Bingzhong first, and let Qiu Bingzhong make arrangements.

"Okay." Qiu Bingzhong didn't care too much: "It's okay for people to go and see, we have to be a little bit smarter if we sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, don't ask Zunhua, we still don't know anything , arrange someone to go early tomorrow morning."

  While a group of people were playing cards and bragging, the Nekhka army was parting ways on the banks of the Weishui River, fifty miles to the south of them.

In order to avoid the scouts from the Santun Camp and Taiping Camp, the Neikalkha and Horqin people set off across the Luan River overnight and marched westward until they reached the banks of the Weishui River. Then they prepared to part ways. .

Zai Sai is not a person who does not know soldiers, although he also knows that the chances of success are very high if he is unprepared, but after all, there are three camps, where the general army of Ji Town is located, even if the main army of Ji Town moves westward, he still dare not neglect.

The location of the Santun camp is important. The people in the Jingying camp don’t even know soldiers, so they should send scouts around, especially in the east and along the Luan River. That’s why he only left some remnants of soldiers to confuse the Taiping camp near Qian’an. In addition to the Jizhen army, Zaisai himself led the army westward in the starry night.

On the banks of the Xishui River, Zaisai divided his troops again and asked Zhuoli Ketuhongbatulu to lead a part of Uziyet's troops to the Lihe River. Once the Zunhua side got the news, the Jizhen army came to reinforce, The cavalry of the Ministry will be responsible for blocking.

  He himself led the army to go north from the Weishui River, along the Lihe River from southwest to northeast to attack Santunying.

"Master Zai Sai, there are still more than ten miles ahead of the Santun Camp. Now we are behind Jingzhong Mountain. Once we bypass Jingzhong Mountain, the army will have no way to hide." Bending slightly, Fan Qing lowered his eyebrows Shuanyan said: "If you want to attack at night, I'm afraid you need to prepare now."

  Zai Sai focused his eyes on the people behind Fan Qing, "Are you all familiar with Santunying?"

"Master Hui Zai Sai, the younger ones have been to Santunying many times, some of them have been there seven or eight times, and some of them have been there three or five times. They are all familiar with each other." Fan Qing said with pride. : "Inside and outside the wall here, our uncle is doing business and has to go everywhere. Of course, those of us who run errands can't slack off."
