Chapter 153 Baoding Prefecture Intelligence

Qiu Zhizhong reported urgently, saying that the Dashun Army of Baoding Prefecture was quickly transferred to the capital in recent days.

Now, only the surrendered soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are left in the city.

Hearing this, Xiao Lang laughed out loud.

"Hahaha"

"Yes, that's right!"

"The east wind that I have been waiting for for more than half a month has finally arrived!"

Hearing Xiao Lang's laughter, Qiu Zhizhong beside him still had a worried look on his face and couldn't be happy at all.

"Haha, Lao Xiao!"

"This news can indeed confirm your previous conjectures and plans!"

"But, but you have to know that even if it's just the former Ming surrendered soldiers from Baoding Prefecture, the total number is not small!"

"According to what Zhuanzi said, the total number of soldiers in this group of surrendered soldiers is probably more than three to four thousand, or even more!"

"Old Xiao, even with all these soldiers guarding the city, we only have about a battalion of people now. How can we attack this city?!" Zhizhong sighed.

"Hi!"

"Feiyu (Qiu Zhizhong), look at how upset you are?!"

"When you get to the mountain, there will always be a way!"

"It's not easy to get such a good thing!"

"And think about it, there were many surrendered soldiers in Baoding Prefecture, and they were humming and humming."

"But in my opinion, they are just a bunch of people waiting for the price and taking a wait-and-see attitude!"

"The large-scale withdrawal of the Dashun enemy troops must have had a huge impact on the hearts of these surrendered soldiers!"

"Beijing City cannot be defended by the bandit Li Zicheng!"

"In early May, we were afraid that they would be defeated and cause trouble, so we retreated to the southwest in a hurry!"

"Original Ming surrendered soldiers, humph!"

"They've already landed once!"

"This time, if it weren't for me, Xiao Jingchuan, I'm afraid it would be difficult for these people to return to Ming Dynasty!"

"When the Jian Nu marches south, if these soldiers surrender and become part of the Jian Nu camp, it will only cause more trouble!"

"So I thought, when we go to Baoding, if conditions permit, we might as well eat all these surrendered soldiers in one gulp!"

"It's a good idea to keep the wealth within the family. No matter what, we can't let the slaves outside the Great Wall get the benefit, right?!"

Xiao Jingchuan's words contained a lot of information, which not only made Zhizhong feel uncomfortable, but also made him feel even more confused.

"what?"

"Old Xiao, you..., listen to what you say"

"Li Zicheng has been running the business for so many years and has so many soldiers under his command. Is he really going to be defeated like this this time?!"

"And the Jiannu in the Northeast."

"Since the beginning of the rebellion in our dynasty, the Jiannu have repeatedly invaded our borders. People say that the Jiannu soldiers are very brave, but how many soldiers do they have in total?!"

"Those people, can they become our biggest trouble in the future?!"

"Why do I always feel it's so mysterious?!" Zhizhong expressed his doubts.

"Haha, it's about the Jiannu! I don't need to argue with you now."

"You will be able to see what happens to these grandsons in the future!"

"As for that bandit Li Zicheng?"

"If we lose this time, we will definitely lose!"

"I just hope that Li Zicheng won't lose too quickly from now on!"

"If I have the chance in the future, I might give him some advice!"

As Xiao Jingchuan spoke, he looked mysterious and serious.

But after hearing his words, Zhizhong could only shake his head helplessly.

"Ah, Lao Xiao, ah Lao Xiao, what you say is getting more and more outrageous!"

"alright!"

"I was just asking casually."

"You are the commander-in-chief of the entire army, as long as you have the plan in mind!"

Zhizhong didn't understand the mystery, so he didn't bother to argue about it anymore.

Hearing this, Xiao Lang laughed.

"Haha, I'll take care of the battle deployment."

"But as for the intelligence gathering in Baoding Prefecture, Feiyu (Qiu Zhizhong), you still need to give more instructions to your subordinates!"

"No matter the cost, we must do our best, no matter how big or small, we must investigate everything that needs to be investigated, and we cannot be careless in the slightest!"

"After all, this battle is related to the whole future!"

"Don't slack off at all!"

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger. Feiyu (Qiu Zhizhong) must be fully alert when you understand the pros and cons here!" Xiao Jingchuan urged again.

"Yes, I understand!" "I will ask Zhuanzi to return in a while, and send the few good fighters who stayed in Jiulong Town with him!"

"The wiring I have here cannot be moved except for Laishui in Yi County."

"Almost all those who were able to get out, regardless of whether they are new or old, are heading in the direction of Baoding Prefecture, and they are intentionally targeting the next Baoding Prefecture action!"

Hearing this, Xiao Lang nodded repeatedly and breathed a sigh of relief to show that he was relieved.

Night falls quietly.

As the sun and the moon alternate, the light in the mountains gradually dims.

Xiao Lang looked into the distance, glanced twice at the direction where the soldiers were marching, and then wanted to call Zhizhong to go back to the camp together.

But just as he was about to get down the rocky hill, Zhizhong suddenly pulled out a folded note from his sleeve and handed it to him.

"Here!"

"This is the second thing. It's for you. Take a look!"

Zhizhong pursed his lips, his expression relaxed, and there was even a hint of mockery in his brows.

"kindness?"

"What? So mysterious?"

As he spoke, Xiao Lang raised his hand, took it and unfolded it.

"Someone just sent it over from town."

"I said the roll call will be handed to you!"

"Originally, I didn't want to look at it, but in case there was something fishy about it, I checked it for you!"

"This... Don't worry! It's not toxic or harmful, there's nothing wrong with it!"

Zhizhong had first peeked at the contents of the note, and fearing a beating, he made up a bunch of nonsense with a high-sounding tone in order to pretend to move the situation.

"Fei Yu (Qiu Zhizhong), you, you can do it!"

"Can you please be polite?"

"If you peek at other people's letters, be careful that your son will be born without an anus!" Xiao Jingchuan was merciless.

"Hey?!"

"Old Xiao, what are you talking about!"

"Too much, too much!"

After Zhizhong finished speaking, Xiao Lang no longer hesitated. He pretended to turn around and took a closer look.

After reading it, I realized that this was actually written by Xu Jingyi to myself!
He was asked to work tonight and go to Xu's house to meet him.
After Xiao Jingchuan read it, a look of worry appeared on his face.

On the side, Zhizhong saw him like this and actually moved closer with a licking look on his face.

"Oh, my love, my love!"

"Old Xiao, I say, you should just do the work tonight!"

"After all, we are on the march and in battle, and our lives are at risk. We never know when... right?"

"Neither you nor I can escape!"

"If that's the case, then it makes sense to leave a child for yourself as soon as possible, right?" Zhizhong said humorously.

"Nonsence!"

"I'm telling you, you've read all the books of sages, but have you read them into a dog's stomach?"

"Am I, Old Xiao, the kind of vulgar person you say I am?!"

"I am a righteous man, I am a serious person!"

"We're leaving tomorrow. If you continue to provoke the girl tonight, why are you staying here? What's the point of staying here?"

"Disgusting, filthy!"

"It is difficult for me, Xiao Jingchuan, to associate with someone like you!"

As he spoke, Xiao Lang jumped off the stone hill, pretended to walk away with his hands behind his back!

But when Qiu Zhizhong saw the receding figure, he suddenly felt contempt!

"Xiao Jingchuan, people need dignity and trees need bark!"

"You bastard!"

"Aren't you going?!"

"The way back to camp is this way! Why are you walking down the mountain?!"

"Hey!"

"Why don't you reply, kid?!"

Committee member Qiu Zhizhong was so angry that he asked Xiao Lang to set him up, so he got tricked and kept jumping up and down on the spot and complaining.

"What are you replying to?!"

"I suddenly remembered that there's something going on in town!"

"You go back to the camp first!"

"Oh, right, go back and ask Changting to follow me along the path we usually take when we go down the mountain!"

"Just him, don't tell anyone else!"
