After three rounds of drinking, Zhu Minchun and the little official were a little drunk, and Xiao Ruxun only cared about eating meat, and did not drink on the grounds that the war was urgent, and remained sober.

"Governor, the sentry has come to report, there are many fireworks rising in the hot spring town, and I see that there are northern captives killing horses, somehow, I have come to report."

Xiao Ruxun nodded and waved his hand to let the herald go down.

"Governor Xiao, this ......"

The little official looked at Xiao Ruxun a little nervously, he expected Xiao Ruxun to start a war as soon as possible to clean up the northern captives, and then capture Li Ke alive so that he could bring it back to the court and dedicate it to the emperor, although the big head was Xiao Ruxun's, but he could also share some credit, right?

"Don't worry, it's Pullik who is ready to break through with all his might, so that the soldiers can kill those thin horses, leaving only the strongest horses to break through, and the rest will be eaten to increase physical strength and recuperate, according to this, it is estimated that he will be ready to break through tomorrow."

Xiao Ruxun bit off another piece of horse meat and chewed it vigorously.

"And what is the Governor's plan? You can't just watch them eat and drink enough and then come to fight the Ming army, right? The combat effectiveness of these northern captives is still very impressive, and the battle of trapped beasts, the loss of the Ming Dynasty will not be small. ”

The little official hurriedly asked Xiao Ruxun what to do.

Xiao Ruxun swallowed a mouthful of meat, took a sip from the wine glass, took a breath, and said, "No hurry." ”

Then he began to eat meat again, a large plate of horse meat he actually hummed and ate more than half of it, it was really a young man with a good appetite, so much meat was eaten for him, it can be seen how good his body is, but ......

You can't just do that, can you?

Not in a hurry?

I can wait for you to catch the eight calves of the king of Pullik and bring them back to Your Majesty, and then sacrifice the Taimiao to pretend to be a force, and then share some of the credit, otherwise why should I stay in this icy and snowy place to suffer?

Zhu Minchun also thought the same way, looking at Xiao Ruxun's light and breezy appearance, he felt that after this guy became the governor, his compulsion level also improved, and he began to talk about half a sentence to leave suspense, with a professional posture of a worldly master preaching and receiving karma to solve doubts, and he became ants on a hot pot.

"Governor Xiao, do you want to arrange a little response?"

Zhu Minchun asked tentatively.

"Your Highness don't have to worry."

Six words popped up, and the treatment was a little better than that of a junior official, but Xiao Ruxun continued to eat meat without explaining to the two.

Although the two of them were anxious, they had nothing to do, so they could only secretly slander Xiao Ruxun for mastering the essence of a high-ranking official so quickly, and more than that, if they were civil officials, it would be either Yan Fenyi or Zhang Jiangling.

The two of them had a heart, and they felt that this meat didn't taste good, but seeing that Xiao Ruxun ate it so sweetly, a large plate of horse meat was about to be eaten up, and they didn't see him stop, they just felt wonderful.

The little official saw that the horse meat in front of Xiao Ruxun was about to be eaten, so he divided half of the horse meat on his plate and handed it to Xiao Ruxun.

"Don't the angels eat?"

Xiao Ruxun said five words.

"I have a lot of worries and I don't have much appetite, so let's eat first!"

The little official is a pun.

"Thank you."

Xiao Ruxun said two simple words, then reached out and took the plate of meat, took a piece of dipping sauce in front of him, and began to feast again, easily breaking the pun. The junior official was stunned for a while, and then reluctantly returned to his seat to drink.

Zhu Minchun didn't understand what kind of medicine Xiao Ruxun was selling in this gourd, and after being depressed for a while, he could only drink stuffy wine and occasionally eat a little meat, but he didn't eat any taste, he only felt that the taste was like chewing wax.

Finally, when the plate of meat was about to be eaten by Xiao Ruxun, another herald rushed into the tent.

"Report! Governor! They're coming! ”

"They? Didn't the North break through?! ”

Before the herald left, the little official was so frightened that he stood up and shouted in horror, which startled Zhu Minchun.

"No, it's not the North Captives, it's the artillery team here."

The herald looked at the little official with a confused expression, and then explained kindly, but the little official blinked and didn't react.

But seeing that Xiao Ruxun nodded, he said to the herald: "Order the artillery team to choose a suitable position to place the artillery, aim the muzzle of the cannon at the location of the fireworks in the town, load the small cannon with flower shells, and the Hongyi cannon with solid shells, and wait for my order." ”

The herald nodded: "No!" ”

Then he galloped out of the tent.

Zhu Minchun reflected it, looked at Xiao Ruxun, who was still eating meat, and asked with some astonishment: "Governor Xiao is waiting for artillery?" ”

Xiao Ruxun threw the last piece of meat into his mouth, then wiped his mouth with a cloth and wiped his hands again.

"That's right, in the previous several field battles, the elite soldiers and horses lost a lot, we have to go north to counterattack Datong, and we may encounter more cavalry from the north, if we can reduce some casualties, reduce some casualties, it will be useful in the future, unnecessary casualties are not necessary.

Before the artillery team couldn't keep up with the speed of the large army, the last general asked the army to surround the hot spring town, not to let the northern captives escape, but also waiting for the artillery team, the northern captives have not been bombarded by artillery since the battle, so there is no defense artillery, the sky is dark, and there is still a fire to cook meat, it is simply a live target.

After the end of the general bombarded him with artillery for half an hour, the northern captives in the hot spring town were seventy-seven, eighty-eight, and finally let the cavalry charge, these northern captives were finished, although there is no guarantee that Pull Rick will be alive, but how can the life of the dog thief compare to the life of the Ming soldiers? What does Your Highness think? ”

Can Zhu Minchun still say that this is not the case? What if he did? How else can a captive prince with no real power say anything to a powerful governor with hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands? People asked him to give him face, and if he objected, he would not know how to lift up.

"Yes, yes."

Zhu Minchun nodded.

The little official's face is not very good-looking, although Xiao Ruxun is right, but ...... But if you do this, I'm ...... What is the point of me staying here?

Xiao Ruxun saw the embarrassed look of the little official, so he smiled and said: "Angels don't have to worry too much, it's not certain that the dog thief will die or not, even if he dies, it will be the same when Bendu finds his body, cut off his head, and bring him back to Jingshi, anyway, he has committed such a heinous crime, and he must die." ”

The little official thinks about it, too, if he gives the lives of thousands of Ming soldiers for this, it is really difficult to explain, and the first level won by Xiao Ruxun led the army in this battle has broken 7,000, and then there is Datong, the first level is certain, so it is not certain that the imperial court finance can pay so much silver!

A little less is a little less, the same is death, and for the burden of the imperial court, it is certainly much better to be killed by artillery and muskets than to be beheaded.

In any case, how can the rise and fall of an individual be as important as the empty treasury of the imperial court?

The little official confessed.

"Yes, the Governor is very true."

Unified internal thoughts, then the external enemy should suffer, Xiao Ruxun was full of meat, stood up satisfied, walked a few steps, patted his stomach, took a breath, and laughed.

"I'm full, it's time to fight, this war has dragged on long enough, I can't continue to drag on, Your Highness and the angel will stay for a while, I'll come when I go."

With that, Xiao Ruxun walked out of the tent, turned on his horse, and headed to the front line.
