Where can I say what I made up on the fly? One by one, they were stupid when they heard it, and seeing the flesh and blood of the people in front of them being beaten, many people trembled in their hearts, and took the initiative to stand up and admit that they were making up the numbers, just to avoid being beaten. d-m

Liu Ruozai will not pursue it, let them take the initiative to stand up, and they will not be punished. The number of people left is already small, so it took an hour to check it out.

The Zhenbian Fort with a quota of 699 soldiers was actually approved to have only 240 men, while the Zhenchuan Fort was better, with a quota of 674 officers and soldiers, 70 horses and mules, and 310 officers and men, at least one of which was put together, and 16 horses.

Liu Ruozai is a person who knows soldiers, but he is not easy to fool.

The next day, he repeated it as he had done at the fort on the edge of the town, and it had a similar effect.

On the same day, we left Zhenchuan Fort.

Dong Ce summed it up, Liu Ruozai's behavior is roughly to take out the embezzled money from the hands of those generals who drink the blood of soldiers, and then use this money to the hands of those who really need them and will really use them to do things. For example, Rock Fort, for example, Hongci Fort.

can have such a Shangguan, Dong Ce only has two words in his heart.

Looking at the field ahead, the corners of Dong Ce's mouth pursed a sneer.

One stop ahead is Zhenqiang Fort.

Zhenqiang Fort Shou ~ one ~ this ~ read ~ small ~ say ~ prepare, Hou Jiawei!

……

Zhenqiang Fort.

Tian Gang was bright, and a fast horse galloped from the official road in the distance, and rushed straight to the west gate of Zhenqiang Fort, and it was far away, and the knight on the horse shouted: "Open the door, open the door!" ”

It was not yet dawn, and it was not yet time to open the door, and most of the soldiers in charge of guarding the city were sleeping in the tower of the city gate, except for two younger ones, who were sitting on the ground with spears in their arms, resting their heads on the battlements and napping. It was already autumn at this time, and the sky in the north was very cool, and their clothes were thin, and their bodies were curled up.

The dew has been heavy for the past two days, and it may be raining again, and both of them have been covered with a layer of damp morning dew.

They slept soundly, but they were woken up by the knight, who was very unhappy, and the shorter one, about twenty years old, with a few pockmarked faces, stood up, rubbed his eyes, and looked down.

By this time the knight had reached the bottom of the city, and he raised his head and shouted, "Open the door quickly!" ”

"What kind of mourning is this early morning?" The soldier lazily shouted below, "What are you?" Let us open the door, open the door, the hour is not enough, and death cannot be opened! ”

The one next to him had just seen the appearance of the knight below, and his face suddenly changed greatly, and he wanted to cover his companion's mouth, but it was too late.

I saw that the knight's face below suddenly became cold, and he sneered: "Good dog guts!" Grandpa is a garrison adult, and there is a major military intelligence report, you dare to block it, delay the military situation, how many heads are enough to cut off? ”

When the short soldier who had spoken before heard this, he looked at the knight carefully, and suddenly shuddered.

His companion tilted his head to the side, his face full of forbearance and cowardice.

The gates slowly opened, and there was a creaking old and foul sound.

The knight was no more than twenty years old, with a short beard, a healthy bronzer, and a vigorous power all over his body. He rode in, and found the short man who dared to speak disrespectfully to him from the ranks of soldiers on both sides, and his eyes swept over, and the surrounding soldiers immediately scattered to both sides. They all already knew about it, and they didn't mean to get into trouble.

Looking at the knight's serpent-like gaze, the short soldier's feet were weak, and he knelt on the ground with a pop, kowtowed again and again, and begged: "Your Excellency, your lord's life!" ”

"Spare your life, I don't count what I said, it's a felony to delay the military situation!"

The knight spun around on his horse and sneered: "That's it, I'll take you to see your lord." ”

Before the words fell, the knife on his waist suddenly came out of the sheath, and in a flash of cold light, the soldier's neck was cut off alive, and the blood instantly disappeared due to the huge pressure and immediately splattered out, and the wall next to the spray was full of radial blood. The head fell to the ground, and the bones spun around twice, and his face was full of disbelief. It seems that he didn't expect that he would be killed because of such a trivial matter.

The corpse fell to the ground with a bang.

After the knight stabbed and killed, he had already ridden away, and not a drop of blood was splashed on his body.

A few of the soldiers had angry faces, and more of them were full of numbness, and after a while, the captain who guarded the door sighed: "Take the corpse, wrap it in a mat, and bury it!" It's hard to let wild dogs eat it. ”

He glanced at the subordinates with resentment on their faces, and warned: "Don't make trouble, don't spread around, our lives are worthless!" Trouble with the garrison, it's not him who died! ”

The knight hit his horse and arrived in front of the garrison yamen, and while the horse was still galloping, he turned over and jumped off the horse, and his body only stumbled slightly, showing his superb equestrian skills.

The soldiers who were full of guards recognized him, hurriedly went up to lead the horse, and said respectfully: "Lord Hou Jing." ”

Hou Jing didn't even bother to nod, so he strode into the mansion. He was tall, broad-shouldered and thin-waisted, and walked with a light gait, like an agile big cat.

Less than a tea time later, he was brought to Hou Jiawei.

Hou Shoubei's eyes were a little dark, his face was tired, and he obviously didn't have much rest.

He stared at Hou Jing and said eagerly, "What, the exact news has come back?" ”

"Hmm!" Hou Jing nodded heavily and said, "Xie Dingkun's subordinates, whom we bought, also knew that this matter was not small, and he didn't let go, and his subordinates sent a hundred taels of silver back and forth, and he said it." ”

"How?"

"Xie Dingkun gave them an order last night: Whoever this official kills, you will kill!"

"Murder?"

Hou Jiawei's eyes shrank, and a touch of madness suddenly appeared in his eyes, and his fists slammed on the table, everything on the table jumped up, and he roared with a distorted face: "Liu Ruozai is going to do something to Lao Tzu!" He's going to kill me! Kill me! ”

His fists pounded wildly against the table, his eyes full of despair and madness, and his face was completely distorted and hideous.

While thrashing, he kept roaring.

Hou Jing just stood quietly to the side, silent.

At this time, the more you say, the more you are wrong.

After a long while, Hou Jiawei finally finished venting, and sat down on the chair dejectedly, gasping for breath.

Hou Jing said at this time: "Maybe it may not be as bad as adults think." ”

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have thought it would have been wrong." Hou Jiawei smiled bitterly, took a breath, shook his head and said, "It's just to clear the redundant soldiers, why does he have to go to such great lengths?" How dare I do anything to him? What he did before, I thought it was nothing more than that, it was to clear the redundant soldiers, and it had no effect on me, but I didn't expect that this scholar was really sinister, and all the previous things were just paralyzed by me! It turned out that it was already murderous! ”

When Hou Jing heard this, he said in a low voice: "Then what should we do?" ”

"He wants Lao Tzu's life, and Lao Tzu can't let him have a good time! In Liu Ruozai, it's a hundred! Hou Jiawei slapped the table heavily, and there was a trace of bitter resentment in his eyes: "Fifty family members, all of them can be trusted!" How many of the soldiers can be trusted? ”

Hou Jing said in a deep voice: "I'll go down and make arrangements." ”

He paused and said, "Kill Liu Ruozai, what should we do?" ”

"Go to Jiannu! Slave chief Huang Taiji has always been kind to those who come to surrender! When he entered the prison a while ago, Zhang Wenheng, a prisoner of Datong, ran from Datong to Xuanfu on foot, took refuge in Jiannu, and offered advice and help, Huang Taiji immediately sealed his official, rewarded him with fifty taels of gold, and rewarded him with ten clothed slaves. I am a five-grade guard in Daming, and I am familiar with the situation in Datong Town...... Isn't it more important than that prisoner? ”

Hou Jiawei gritted his teeth and said: "By the way, Dong Er was also slaughtered, he killed some Jiannu people, I'm afraid that there is a registered person over there, and it is also a good deal to take his head." ”

"Good!" Hou Jing also had a fierce look in his eyes: "When you do it later, let them kill a few first, and there will be no way out." ”

Hou Jiawei nodded heavily and waved his hand: "Go down and prepare!" Arrange those unreliable ones to the periphery, and leave our people on the school field, and when the time comes, we will launch them in one fell swoop. ”

Hou Jing was about to walk out, but Hou Jiawei suddenly stopped him again: "What about the person who loosened his mouth?" ”

"I promised to spare his life and let him go to the south to be a rich man."

Hou Jiawei sneered: "You don't have to keep your hands. ”

Hou Jing shook his head: "I promised him." Can't break your promise! ”

……

Liu Ruozai originally wanted to rest for a day at Zhenchuan Fort to recuperate, and then set off early in the morning. But Dong Ce's advice to him made him change his mind.

Dong Ce's advice to him was to arrive in the evening as usual. First, it will not arouse Hou Jiawei's suspicion, and second, it will be evening when he arrives, and I am afraid that it will already be night when he launches. The more night it is, the less the superior side will be able to take advantage of the numbers. You don't see many night raids, all of which are defeated by fewer victories! In addition, Dong Ce's subordinates have been well nourished these days, and there is basically no night blindness, and they are not greatly affected by night battles.

When the red glow filled the sky, you could already see the tall walls of Zhenqiang Fort.

Dozens of people stood on the side of the road in front, it was Hou Jiawei and others.

When the convoy approached, Hou Jiawei hurried up to see it. Liu Ruozai got out of the car, Hou Jiawei knelt down to salute, and said a few polite words, but there was always a little bit of a smile on his face.

Dong Ce looked at him like this on the side, but he was relieved. It seems that Hou Jiawei really didn't have any suspicions - he knew that Liu Ruozai was only here for the Qing army, and he also knew that Liu Ruozai couldn't help him, and he knew that his methods were useless. Liu Ruozai was not very polite to him, just said a few words lightly, and then returned to the carriage.
