On the morning of the sixth day of the eighth month of the fourth year of Jiajing, the official road on the bank of the Cangtou River was dusty, but I saw that a team was driving towards the direction of Youyu County, all of them were cavalry, and the military appearance was strict and majestic, as if the iron armor torrent was in general, and the scene was extremely shocking.

"Lord Qincha, please see, is Youyu County in front of you?" Wang Bogu, the chief soldier of Datong, pointed ahead.

It is said that in the past few days, Xu Jin has been inspecting the passes everywhere in Datong, Wang Bogu, as the supreme military commander of Datong Town, has dutifully followed Xu Jin for several days, and today Xu Jin finally inspected Youyu County, Wang Zongbing naturally followed, and accompanied by Zhang Yin, the commander of Yulinwei, after all, Youyu County is the station of Yulinwei.

It is worth mentioning here that the original station of Yulinwei was in Fengzhou River, but during the Yongle period, forced by the great momentum of the thorn, so it moved back to the Great Wall, the first year of Xuande, Yulinwei returned to Fengzhou River again, and as a result, after the "change of civil fort", Yulinwei was transferred back to the Great Wall, stationed in Youyu County, since then, Yulinwei's station has been in Youyu County.

However, the guards stationed in Youyu County are not only Yulinwei, but also Pingyuwei, Zhenyuwei, Weiyuanwei, etc., there are Shuozhou guards in the south of Youyu County, and there are also heavy garrisons stationed in the area of Hukou, with a total strength of no less than 50,000, provided that these guards are full.

Xu Jin rode on horseback, put his hand on the pergola and looked into the distance, and sure enough, he faintly saw a city outline, which was probably the location of the right jade city.

Zhang Yin, the commander of the Yulin Wei next to him, introduced: "Lord Qincha, about fifty miles north along the Cangtou River is the Hukou Pass, if there is a military situation in the Hukou, the right Yucheng can support within an hour." ”

Xu Jin nodded and said: "Killing Hukou is a military fortress that communicates the north and the south, and there is no room for the slightest mistake, and the Japanese generals will ...... Forget it, it's still three days later, and in three days, the official will patrol and kill Hukou. ”

The chief soldier Wang Bogu hurriedly responded: "Okay, Ben will send someone to inform the garrison of Dang Han later." ”

The name of the Han garrison in the mouth of Wang Zongbing is Han Dengping, who is the garrison general who killed Hukou, and his position is equivalent to that of a general, commanding a guard, that is, 5,600 people.

At this time, I only heard Xu Jin say again: "At that time, Yulinwei, Weiyuanwei, Pingyuwei, and Zhenyuwei will all be transferred to kill Hukou, and this official will conduct a big military parade." ”

The chief soldier Wang Bogu was slightly stunned, these days Xu Jin has been inspecting various passes in Datong, and he has not asked for a military parade, and he heard that the so-called military parade has not been held in Xuanfu, why did he go to Youyu County to hold a military parade, and it is still the scale of tens of thousands of people.

However, although he was quite puzzled in his heart, Wang Bogu didn't dare to ask more, after all, he was a Qincha who came with Shang Fang's sword, and he just listened to what he said, but he had to work hard for the brothers in Youyu County. Fortunately, it is just autumn and the weather is not too cold, and if it snows heavily in another two months, it will be a real sin.

"Yes, Chincha-sama!" Wang Bogu respectfully agreed.

Commander Zhang Yin's eyes flashed, and he glanced thoughtfully at the five thousand soldiers and horses of the Shenji Battalion behind him. In fact, Zhang Yin has always felt very strange, Xu Jin was ordered to patrol the border, and he didn't want to fight, why did he have to mobilize the people and bring the whole battalion of the Shenji Battalion?

After all, 5,000 people and horses are not too much, and it is not too much to say less, not to mention the full cavalry of the Shenji Battalion, which is fed by horses every day, and the consumption will definitely not be low. It's just an order to patrol the side, bring a guard of honor, and at most bring a few hundred personal soldiers to escort it, can you be so laborious?

Could it be that Xu Jin is very afraid of death, so he wants to take the Divine Machine Battalion to protect himself?

Zhang Yin felt that this possibility was not very likely, Xu Jin was famous in the military circles, and he was nicknamed Xu Changsheng, and the year before last he killed the Quartet on the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty, exterminated the Japanese and eliminated the thieves, and killed the Westerners, and even sent troops to the South and the East to expand the territory for the Ming Dynasty. is such a strong character, Zhang Yin didn't believe that he was afraid of dying to such an extent. At this time, he suddenly heard that Xu Jin was going to hold a big military parade, and Zhang Yin immediately smelled an unusual smell.

I have to say that Zhang Yin is indeed quite alert, Xu Jin suddenly proposed to hold a big military parade, but it was actually just a pretense, covering the Shenji Battalion's sneak attack on Fengzhou Sichuan is true, and gathering heavy troops to kill Hukou is just to guard against the Tatar counterattack.

About a quarter of an hour later, Xu Jin and his entourage finally came to the outside of Youyu City. Youyucheng is naturally far less majestic than Datong City, Xu Jin ordered the Shenji battalion to be stationed outside the city, and then led the Jinyi guard and a group of personal soldiers into the city.

At this moment, in a restaurant on the side of Youyucheng Street, there are three people drinking and chatting by the window. On the table were two jugs of wine, a plate of peanuts, and a plate of boiled mutton. The three of them seemed to be very diligent in making chopsticks, but the plate of peanuts and boiled mutton did not decrease, and the eyes of the three of them still glanced through the window into the street from time to time.

These three people are not the others, they are Zhao Quan, Qiu Fu and Sun Cai, but the Tatar archer named Temur is not there. Because the appearance of the Tatars was very different from that of the Han Chinese, Zhao Quan did not take him into the city.

It is said that Zhao Quan and the others also just arrived in Youyu County today, and originally planned to rush directly to Datong City to find an opportunity to assassinate Xu Jin, but on the way, they met Xu Jin leading an army to Youyu County.

When Zhao Quan saw the Shenji battalion with a strict military appearance, and all cavalry and all firearms, he couldn't help but slap suddenly, but he didn't dare to assassinate rashly, after all, if he assassinated Xu Jin, he finally put his life on the line, it was really not worth it, so Zhao Quan made a decision and immediately retreated to Youyu County, planning to wait for the right opportunity to make a move, at least to ensure his own safety.

"That dog officer has entered the city!" Qiu Fu suddenly whispered.

Zhao Quan looked up, and sure enough, he saw a young official in a scarlet robe, walking from the street under the protection of the brocade guards and personal soldiers. Although four years have passed, Xu Jin has not changed much, he is still red and white-toothed, handsome and extraordinary, and his temperament is as calm as ever.

Zhao Quan's fingers holding the chopsticks tightened suddenly, and his eyes couldn't help revealing a strong murderous intent, but he immediately lowered his head and pretended to eat, and at the same time quietly warned: "Don't look!" ”

Qiu Fu and Sun Cai's reaction was also extremely fast, and they quickly lowered their heads and continued to pretend to eat as if nothing happened.

On the street, Xie Erjian swept the window of the restaurant with a suspicious gaze, but from his angle, he could only see the tip of the head of Zhao Quan and the others.

After Xu Jin and his entourage passed by the restaurant, Zhao Quan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly settled the account and left in a hurry. Zhao Quan himself is a master, so he knows that a master of Xie Erjian's level is very sensitive to danger, and the murderous intent that he unconsciously revealed just now is estimated to have made Xie Erjian aware of it, so in order to avoid accidents, it is better to slip away quickly.

I have to say that Zhao Quan's move was very wise, as soon as they left on the front foot, the four fierce soldiers of the Shenji Battalion entered the restaurant with flintlock pistols in their hands, and searched around under the suspicious eyes of the diners before exiting.
