Binzhou County Ya, rainy and foggy, the courtyard is a little deep.

Li Yan looked out the window a few times, put down the book in his hand, struggled to get up with crutches, and the soldiers heard the movement and hurriedly came to help, but they refused, and limped to the courtyard.

Although the rain stopped, the weather was gloomy and the fog did not disperse, the water droplets on the leaves were crystal clear, and the chanting of Li Muxian and Xiaodaotong came from the next room, Li Yan closed his eyes slightly, and a smile appeared on his face, and he breathed a few breaths of fresh air, if there was no war, what a beautiful day.

But he knew that this was unrealistic, there were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Qing army dozens of miles away, and although peace had been negotiated, he had to be careful to beware.

Yesterday, he rushed with the main army from the Beiyang River to camp and entered Binzhou City when it was dark, and in order to avoid disturbing the people, the army camped outside the city, and the main general entered the city to rest.

It's not special, but because the Qing army fulfilled its promise to release more than 400 Ming army prisoners and more than 1,000 people and baggage were settled in Binzhou City, so Li Yan and others had to enter the city to discuss with the magistrate about receiving and settling down, the soldiers wanted to return to the team, the people needed to settle down, and how to deal with the property looted by the Qing army was also a problem.

In the end, after some discussion: the property could not be confiscated and returned to the public, but it was impossible to return the property to its original owner, so it would be dispersed with the refugees, and the Binzhou government would subsidize some food to dismiss them and return to their hometowns.

Cheng Ming came in from outside and saw Li Yan walking around on crutches in the courtyard, so he hurriedly approached and helped: "General Li still lies down more, don't tear the wound."

Li Yan smiled slightly: "It's okay, I sit for a long time and feel upset and breathable, and then asked, where is the Tartar at this time?" ”

Cheng Ming was originally a thousand households of Tengxiang Siwei and Chang Yu was promoted to the commander of the guard, and performed well when sniping the thief army in Baoding Mansion, and then went north with the army to King Qin, and then went south to chase the enemy to Cangzhou when he was sent by Li Yan to borrow grain, missed the battle of Qingzhou and heard that his henchman Duan Wuhu was killed in battle, and he has been obsessed with wanting revenge, but the two sides now have no chance to negotiate peace.

Yesterday, Li Yan's army went to Binzhou City to rest, and he wanted to send Hao Shaoqi to lead his troops to keep an eye on the Qing army, but Cheng Ming volunteered to raise more than 1,000 troops in the city and chased them away.

"I have entered Haifeng County (now Wudi County) and rested in the ancient town:" Cheng Ming said with hatred, the dog Tartar did his own thing, and the chickens and dogs did not stay when they went south, and now they don't even have a place to shelter from the rain, why don't they get a rainstorm to kill these beasts! ”

Li Yan frowned: "The ancient town is only a few dozen miles away from here, and the Tartar foot is slow enough!" ”

"But no, since crossing the Yellow River and talking to us about peace, it seems that I am not in a hurry to hurry" Cheng Ming was also a little puzzled: "Maybe because of the rainy weather recently, and the previous battle soldiers of the Tartars took advantage of the peace talks to slow down and take a little rest."

"I hope so" Li Yan frowned: "But if the Tartars don't go out of the customs for a day, we can't take it lightly" Cheng Ming nodded: "General Li, the Tartars won't play any tricks."

"It's not easy to say that the soldiers are treacherous" The corners of Li Yan's mouth twitched: "Our little overseer is the best at this, but the Tartars are all hob meat and no one is good at stubble, and the peace talks are just a plan to delay the army, what are you secretly thinking."

"I think they'd better think about something," Cheng Ming snorted, his eyes burst out with murderous aura, and Li Yan glanced at him and didn't say anything. Cheng Ming asked again: "Mr. Huang, haven't they gotten up yet?" ”

Li Yan frowned, although it was a rainy day, it was almost noon, why didn't he see anyone until now, it was not that he drank too much last night.

So he waved his hand and asked his soldiers to invite a few people over.

Cheng Ming helped Li Yan into the room and made tea for him, and when he saw that Li Yan was angry, he said curiously: "General Li is not a general soldier of Qi Huang.

Li Yan was silent, and Cheng Ming said haha: "A while ago, the various departments were tired of fighting for a long time, and it was difficult to have such a gap to relax."

Li Yan looked solemn: "If you relax and rest, I have nothing to say, but it is not appropriate to drink and have fun, after all, the current situation is unstable, how can you be so careless." From now on, the whole army will ban alcohol, except for those two, but anyone who violates the order will be severely punished! ”

Hey, Cheng Ming smiled bitterly: "It's not that I can't control Mr. Huang."

Chang Yu once had an order to ban alcohol during the war, except for two people, one is Huang Degong, who is not happy with alcohol, and the other is Hao Shaoqi, who is more and more drunk.

This is also their prerogative.

After the Qing army failed to attack the city and negotiated peace with the Ming army, Chang Yu understood that the soldiers lifted the ban on alcohol in order to relieve their mental exhaustion, but only two days later, Li Yan banned alcohol again, fearing that it would dislike the soldiers, but he had this right, because of Chang Yu's authorization.

"I'm not targeting General Huang, he likes to drink as much as he wants, as long as he doesn't miss the military situation, it doesn't matter, but he can't bring other generals together, you see it's almost noon now, and the army will be drunk in the city nine times out of ten, if there is a war, the consequences will be ...... if there is no leader" Li Yan said with a heavy sigh.

Cheng Ming bowed his head and didn't know how to answer, when Zhou Yuji walked in and saw Cheng Ming arching his hand: "Tartar lying on his stomach?" "He is experienced, if it weren't for this, Cheng Ming wouldn't have come back.

"Yes, I'm lying still in an abandoned village more than 30 miles away, I want to rest for two days" Cheng Ming responded, and Zhou Yuji sighed: "I'm not in a hurry, if I'm not really tired, I'm holding some bad intentions."

"General Zhou understands people, he knows that the Tartars have ghosts, but the generals are drunk in the city, if they are ......" Li Yan said hehe, and Zhou Yuji knew that Li Yan was unhappy because of everyone's alcoholism, so he said haha: "General Li don't want to make trouble, the big guys are not the first day to lead troops to fight, and the opponent is a Tartar, how can there be no precautions, last night Lao Huang and I sent three generals to be on duty in the military camp outside the city, and it is definitely not all drunk in the city."

Li Yan's heart was slightly smoother when he heard this: "It's not that some people don't understand the amorous feelings, but in fact, they can't be careless at this time, and the Tartar is cunning and subordinate governors...... Ahem, treacherous! ”

Zhou Yuji and Cheng Ming laughed, and Huang Degong's rough voice came from outside: "Laughing very much, Lao Tzu is happy."

"The young child is on the side, and Mr. Huang's words are vulgar" faintly listened to Li Muxian's reprimand.

"Hey, Niu Laodao, you are in charge of the sky and the earth now, and Lao Tzu is talking and farting, it's a bit wide" Obviously, Huang Degong was still in a hangover, drunk and hazy, and his loud voice was screaming, and he was looking for Li Muxian to talk about it, but he was put into the lobby by Tu Yuan and Hao Shaoqi, one left and one right, followed by more than ten generals who laughed and watched jokes.

"From now until the capital, the whole army will ban alcohol, and those who commit it will be dealt with for the crime of delaying military intelligence!" When everyone entered the lobby, they saw Li Yan's face sank.

"Hey, I said Li Yan, you are ......" Huang Degong was the first to disagree and was about to call, but Li Yan glared at him: "Except for you and Hao Yongzhong!" ”

"Oh, oh, hahaha, that's okay, forbidden, you have to ban alcohol, this group of eight lambs is like seeing their fate when they see wine, you see what they have drunk one by one......" Huang Degong pretended to point at a general and scolded, and everyone shook their heads with a wry smile.

At this moment, one of Cheng Ming's personal soldiers rushed in to look at him and stopped talking.

"But the Tartars have taken camp?" Cheng Ming got up and asked, the soldier shook his head and hurriedly said, "The Tartars are still resting, but more than a thousand people were suddenly released."

Everyone was stunned and looked at each other.

According to the terms of the peace talks, the Tartars did not have a hundred miles to release thousands of people and the plundered baggage, and they had just handed over a batch the day before yesterday, so why was it released ahead of schedule when they were only dozens of miles away.

The crowd was puzzled.

"Only the people were released, what about the baggage?" Li Muxian asked, looking up at Li Yan and seeing him frowning and pondering.

The soldier shook his head: "Only the people were released."

"When things go wrong, there must be demons" Zhou Yuji stared at the teacup in his hand and sneered: "This dog tartar really has a bad heart."

"Playing with these deflated calves every day is not tired, according to Lao Tzu, let's directly raise troops and do it!" Huang Degong shouted angrily, and Cheng Ming, Tu Yuan, Hao Yongzhong, and several personal guard commanders of Lu Xing also loudly echoed that they were all the main battle factions.

"Maybe it's just a bad heart," Li Yan suddenly raised his head and swept away the people.
