It's just that Cao Wenzhao and Dong Ce didn't relax their carelessness, and they watched from a distance after the army completely left this place and couldn't be seen anymore before they put their minds at ease. After making sure that the army had retreated, the two of them hurriedly got off the city wall, reorganized their troops and horses, and prepared to leave the city.

Leaving the city was naturally to welcome Hong Chengchou.

The two of them took all the remaining soldiers and horses out of the north gate.

It's just that the dignified governor of Shaanxi is not something anyone can see if they want to, and it is impossible to lead troops to meet like them, after all, there are some rules and procedures to follow. After the three of them left the city, they led their troops to stop near the city gate, and no longer advanced, but waited for Hong Chengchou's army to completely settle down.

After waiting for half an hour, the army brought by Hong Chengchou finally arrived outside Sanshui County and lined up a large array in the north of the city.

Dong Ce took a look, good guy, this is really a big battle, it is boundless at a glance, according to his estimate, there must be more than 30,000 people in these soldiers and horses.

They were about a hundred zhang away from the location of Dong Ce and the others.

Soon, a crack was opened in the huge military array, and several personal soldiers came over from it and came to Cao Wenzhao, Dong Ce and others. One of the officers shouted loudly: "In front, are you Cao Wenzhao and Cao General Soldiers, Cao Bianjiao and General Cao?" Your Excellency the Governor, please come over. ”

Cao Wenzhao nodded at the instructor and said in a deep voice: "It's Cao Mou here." ”

He glanced at Dong Ce and said a little apologetically: "Brother Dong, please stay here for a while, and the Governor will call you over later." ”

Dong Ce nodded and said with a smile: "Brother Cao, please take care of yourself, brother knows." ”

Cao Wenzhao nodded, and Cao Bianjiao followed the general to the direction of the Chinese army. Looking at his back, Dong Ce sighed, shook his head again, and the corners of his mouth showed a touch of helplessness.

After all, this is the last year of the Ming Dynasty, and it is the last year of the Ming Dynasty. Even if Cao Wenzhao is the general soldier of one party, even if he dares to publicly vent his dissatisfaction with Hong Chengchou, Dong Ce can see from this move that Cao Wenzhao is actually very afraid of Hong Chengchou in his heart. Hong Chengchou didn't ask himself to go over, so he didn't dare to take himself over, but chose to go first, and after knowing Hong Chengchou, he let himself go.

Cao Wenzhao is still a very bold person among the generals, and he can even be said to be a bold person, and he is still so careful in front of Hong Chengchou. This is not to say how powerful Hong Chengchou's means are, you must know that people like Cao Wenzhao, relying on powerful means alone are not of much use to him. Or is it because military generals are used to groveling in front of civilian officials, and it has been hundreds of years.

As Cao Wenzhao said, soon, the Chinese army sent cavalry to invite Dong Ce.

Dong Ce tidied up his clothes and armor, slowly rode his horse, and walked towards the front.

Getting closer and closer to the army under Hong Chengchou's command, Dong Ce was also constantly looking at them. After taking a look, a little admiration for Hong Chengchou surged in his heart, this Lord Hong really has a set of rules for managing soldiers.

The soldiers under his command were all tired and tired, and it was obvious that they had not only started their journey this morning after a good night's rest last night. Maybe I came overnight, at least I got up early in the morning, and the distance was very close. The soldiers must have had a lot of physical exertion, but at this time, as far as his eyes could see, all the soldiers tried to stand up straight, straighten their waists, and try their best to keep their spirits high.

Not to mention that I sat on the ground because I was tired, and I didn't even have a lazy rest. In the large array of tens of thousands of people, no one spoke at a glance, and everyone was standing quietly.

If there is no order from the Supreme Officer, it will not move, and if there is no Order from the Supreme Officer, it will not be silent.

To be able to do both of these things in this day and age is remarkable.

This Hong Chengchou is worthy of being trusted and valued by the emperor and the imperial court, and he entrusts him with the overall situation of extermination, and this person is indeed worthy of entrustment.

Soon, Dong Ce met Hong Chengchou.

He sat on a high-headed horse with a red color, wearing the robe of a second-class civil official, surrounded by dozens of generals. Among the many generals wearing mountain armor, he is the only one, wearing a civilian robe, which is extremely prominent. And everyone obviously guarded him in the middle, which made people know at a glance that he was the master of this place.

There were dozens of generals around, and there were big flags flying in the wind above their heads, Hong Chengchou sat there steadily, looking at Dong Ce's side lightly, and didn't say a word, but the strong majesty came to his face. After Dong Ce glanced at it, he was almost out of breath, and he had a feeling of worshipping in his heart.

This kind of battle is really majestic.

Dong Ce rode his horse, and dozens of generals and hundreds of soldiers around Hong Chengchou, everyone's eyes were focused on his face for a while.

It is quite impolite to look at Shangguan for too long, Dong Ce only glanced at it, then rolled the saddle and dismounted, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The last general will be the Panshi Fort of Hebei North Road in Datong Town, Yang Hewei will command the affairs, and Dong Ce will knock to see the lord." ”

After his series of titles were reported, next to Hong Chengchou, an instructor suddenly let out a sneering chuckle, obviously very disdainful of Dong Ce. This is also normal, which of these generals under Hong Chengchou is not a figure who commands thousands or even tens of thousands of troops? The most unfortunate is also the official position of a guerrilla general, and as for the title, the lowest is also the commander of a certain guard, and most of them are the commanders of the envoys, commanders, and even commanders of the envoys.

It's normal to look down on Dong Ce.

Hong Chengchou glanced at the general with a sneer, he didn't say anything, but the general was cold in his heart, and quickly lowered his head, not daring to say a word again.

Of course, Dong Ce heard that sneer.

But he didn't take it to heart, since he came to this era until now, he has experienced more of this kind of thing, if he gets so angry every time, he is afraid that he will be angry to death.

Seeing that his expression did not change at all, he was very pampered and not surprised, Hong Chengchou felt a little more praise in his heart, and said lightly: "Get up and speak." ”

Dong Ce thanked him and stood up.

Hong Chengchou looked him up and down, and saw that he was tall and tall, so he was even more happy, and the expression on his face was much more relaxed, and he said gently: "Your name is Dong Ce, right?" This official heard from General Cao that you have made a great contribution this time, if it weren't for you, this famous general Cao would have been trapped in the army! ”

Dong Ce hurriedly humbly said: "Don't dare, it's General Cao who has an overreputation, and the subordinate just did what he had to do." ”

Taking advantage of this moment, he also saw Hong Chengchou's appearance clearly.

This is an elegant middle-aged man in his forties, with three long beards and a very thin appearance.

Dong Ce naturally knows his subsequent experience very well, when Chongzhen was fifteen years old, Hong Chengchou and others were defeated in Songshan, captured by Huang Taiji, and finally surrendered. To be honest, he can't be blamed entirely for the defeat of Matsuyama, and it can even be said that his responsibility is not too big. In the end, it can only be said that people have their own aspirations.

Although this person is not guaranteed in his later years, his talent and his martial arts strategy are beyond doubt. Regardless of whether it is military or internal affairs, this person can be well organized, and it can be said that it is a rare dry city of the country.

If you go out, you are handsome, and if you enter, you are the prime minister, which may be a little exaggerated to describe him, but it is only a little exaggerated.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty was all civilian officials who unified the army, and in Dong Ce's eyes, among all the civilian officials who unified the army, there may be only Lu Xiangsheng who is slightly better than Hong Chengchou.

"You don't have to be too humble."

Hong Chengchou smiled slightly and said, "You did this, that is your credit, and this official will not erase it for you." ”

Dong Ce showed a flattered expression on his face, and hurriedly thanked him.

Cao Wenzhao grinned beside him and said, "Your Excellency Governor, you have to reward my brother Dong, if it weren't for him, you wouldn't be able to see Lao Cao today." ”

At this time, there were dozens of generals around Hong Chengchou, but the others were all lowered in front of him, and even their breathing seemed to be much slower, let alone speaking loudly. Cao Wenzhao doesn't care about this, he can say whatever he wants, talk and laugh without taboo, and his voice is loud, without many scruples.
