Xie Ming

Continued from the previous statement
Xiao Jingchuan received the secret report from Zhizhong and returned to Beijing.

But the next morning, a eunuch came from the palace to deliver the message and go into the Wuying Hall to discuss matters.

Inside the imperial city, in the main hall, Emperor Hongguang had a detailed conversation with Xiao until the afternoon. After lunch, they discussed future military affairs.

According to the emperor's order, he intended to organize part of Xiao's army to withdraw from Shandong in an orderly manner and head to northeastern Anhui and Henan.

And he promised to take charge of the military affairs of the two disputed areas.

Actually, in order to discuss this topic, Master Hongren also came to Linggu Temple in the early hours of last night to discuss the overall situation.

According to Hongren Yao Zuyin's opinion, the Shandong issue will sooner or later become a hot potato, so the sooner it is thrown away, the sooner it will be.

Now that the young emperor has issued an edict to give it to Huang Degong, it will be a blessing rather than a curse for Xiao Lang.

And it would be best for Xiao Jingchuan to do just that and take advantage of the situation.

With this, we can openly withdraw our own troops and seize other territories at the right time.

Therefore, in the tense situation in Wuying Palace, Xiao Wei thought about this and did not have too many objections. He expressed his willingness to obey the emperor's orders and agreed to go.

Emperor Hongguang Zhu Cilang was even more pleased about this, and became even happier with Xiao Lai.

After all, for the current suspicious emperor, Xiao Lang is capable and has achieved something. He should be more cautious and not do anything bad.

I'm afraid that it's like letting a tiger return to the mountains and it won't obey discipline or transfer.

Of course, after this arrangement, the only thing that was not a happy thing was that although the emperor said he was willing to mobilize Xiao's troops, he still would not let go of Xiao Jingchuan himself for the time being.

It was just a lie, saying that Nanjing had assigned him important tasks and he needed the help of the court.

There was no other way. Xiao had to continue to be trapped in Nanjing for the rest of his life.

He would get up early every morning and go to the palace, following the cabinet members and officials from various ministries, to attend court affairs according to the procedures.

However, by taking this opportunity, Xiao Lang also gained a better understanding of many government affairs in the court.

His reputation in the court also improved, and he became familiar with the officials in the court.

I think that if there is an uprising in the future, this kind of dealings with the court will be indispensable, and it is just as it should be.

At the same time, a letter was sent north recently.

In order to ensure proper handling, Xiao wrote secret letters himself and sent them directly to Yanzhou, Pingdu, Laizhou and other places in Shandong, informing them of the current situation and ordering the dispatch of troops and generals.

Who will go home with this endless stream of people? The cup is full of wine but I don’t have time to drink it.

Wait until the Yangtze River is turned to wash the soldiers and horses, and the grass and trees will return to their original sparkling glory.

In a blink of an eye, it is September 17th.

According to Xiao Lang's order, Yuan Ping and Zhao Yingyuan's troops set out first in the direction of Laizhou, heading straight for Yanzhou to join Li Huchen's troops.

After gathering and unification, they went straight to Shangqiu, Henan, to garrison and manage Champa.

This order should be received in Laizhou City, Shandong Province by the 15th.

That night, Yuan Ping's cavalry troops gathered and set out on the march.

The distance between Laizhou and Yanzhou City is at least 700 miles.

However, Yuan's cavalry moved at lightning speed and within two days, they had already arrived at the city of Yanzhou.

"Xiao Quanzi? Xiao Quanzi?!"

"Fuck, where are they?!"

In the city of Yanzhou, there has been a lot of commotion in the past two days because of the orders from General Xiao Lang.

Previously, relying on the strategy of operating near the mountains, a large number of troops were dispersed and trained in the mountains and forests within the past month.

When going to the mountains, there are also corresponding tasks to be done, such as building camps and clearing roads.

But once their lives are over, they must regroup and regroup under the city of Yanzhou within a short period of time.

So we urgently gathered everything together, and these past two days, it has been very lively.

Teams of them came out of the forest, competing with each other.

When we got to Yanzhou City at the foot of the mountain, there were all kinds of miscellaneous things hanging on our bodies.

Not to mention bows and crossbows, some even had newly made carts that pulled back all sorts of jars and pots.

In the city, everyone is like a grocery store, and they do whatever they can to attract attention. Li Huchen was quite angry after observing these bragging soldiers.

So he quickly greeted Xiao Quanzi who came with him, and started nagging and preparing to scold him.

"Little Quanzi?"

"God damn it! Where the hell did you go?"

"Xiao Quan."

Hu Chen spoke loudly and greeted everyone.

However, the soldiers and brave men who were around finally gathered together, and the noise and bustle was really too loud.

General Li's loud roar was not heard far away and was drowned out by the waves of sound.

"Hey! Here!"

"Oh, make way!"

"Here! I'm here!"

About forty steps away, a thin, small man in uniform who looked like a military supervisor barely squeezed through a gap in the crowd and moved towards Hu Chen's direction with difficulty.

This little Quanzi, now fifteen years old, has been with Jue Huchen since they were in Beijing. Although he is young and small, he is actually an old soldier, a personal guard.

In particular, after the various battles in the past few months, Qi Dayong in Huchen's army had already separated from Sanpo Jiulong Town and formed an independent army.

As for Zhou Changsheng, he died in the battle of Mancheng!
Gao Hu was also transferred by Xiao Lang last month and was stationed as the general commander of Fengyang tribe.

Some of his old brothers and old team members in Li Huchen's army gradually became scarce.

And the only person around him with whom he could confide was Xiao Quanzi.

After Yanzhou was stabilized, this man was promoted by Hu Chen and came to the army to participate in military affairs.

Just try to find someone who is willing to speak his heart out to you before you die.

"General!"

"General, hey! Slow down!"

"Go away and stay away."

Xiao Quanzi managed to squeeze through the crowd and get close to Hu Chen.

Look, Hu Chen's eyebrows have been raised for a while.

"Damn it, what the hell is going on?!"

"Two days ago, I repeatedly ordered the troops to gather in Yanzhou City as soon as possible."

"The army has issued an order to march straight to Henan!"

"What are these things?"

"Your mother pulled out all the jars and cans."

"Setting up a stage to perform?!" Hu Chen was quite dissatisfied with the loose behavior among his subordinates.

After comparing, Xiao Quanzi smiled bitterly in embarrassment.

"Hey, General."

"This, this can't be helped."

"The meaning above can change at any time."

"Last month, we were asked to camp here. Now, what a pity! Once we leave, all the things we have accumulated in recent days will be wasted."

"The team below didn't want to work for nothing, so, as you can see, they took out as much as they could."

"As long as there is something usable, we won't have to go looking for it again when we get there!" Xiao Quanzi tried his best to explain.

"Fuck your mother's fart!"

"We're going to war, not to a fucking brothel!"

"This is so annoying, how can I predict when this will end?"
