Chapter 4 Military and Political Secrets

Chang Sihao stepped forward to stop: "Brother Chen, your injuries are not healed, I will go for you." ”

"Xiaohao, you can't do this kind of thing. Chen Sheng smiled slightly, nodded his head to show his appreciation, and walked to leave.

Chang Sihao's body did not move, still horizontal in front of him, and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, don't underestimate people." ”

Qi Beishan said: "Jinzhi, your internal injuries are serious, and you should recuperate before you heal, I will go this time." This matter needs to be extremely delicate, and inexperienced people often make mistakes, Aunt Sun, you should stay in the house and accompany him. ”

Chang Sihao frowned and was silent.

Qin Langchuan smiled when he saw this: "Beishan, Taiyuan Mansion is not the hall of the martial arts gang, those soldiers are also many soldiers, and their ears and eyes are not smart, you take Xiaohao with you, let him learn, and walk around the rivers and lakes in the future, he can often use these." ”

Qi Beishan looked at the old lady and saw that his eyes were determined, and he had some indisputable meaning, so he had to respond: "Yes." ”

"That's fine. Chen Sheng smiled and said, "Xiaohao, come to my house, I'll borrow you a set of clothes." Chang Sihao followed him to his residence, Chen Shengyi took out a set of black clothes, this dress is made of unknown fabric, slightly elastic, conjoined up and down, cuffs, intercostals, trouser legs have buttonholes, cross wearing muslin belts, Chang Sihao wears it on his body, a cloth belt, a big belt in the middle, tight flesh is close to each other, there is no half of the wind. Chen Shengyi asked him to comb his hair tightly with a wooden comb and odorless clear oil, tie it into a bun against his scalp, and then wrap it in a black cloth, smear his face with oil paint, not even his ears leaked, and he also drew two lines on the back of his hand. Finally, he took out a pair of black soft boots with cloth soles and put them on him, and there was also a buttonhole cloth belt on the side of the boots.

"What's wrong?" asked a person who pushed the door and asked, it was Qi Beishan's voice.

Chang Sihao saw that he was also dressed like himself, but he had a black bag hanging on his waist, his face was blackened, and he was almost unrecognizable, and he didn't bring the thunder knife that he always had in his hand. Chen Sheng: "Okay." ”

Qi Beishan nodded and beckoned: "Let's go." Chang Sihao came out of the house and ran to the backyard with him, and Qi Beishan instructed while walking: "This operation must be under my command, and you must not act rashly, if you have any questions, greet them with gestures, and do not make a sound." ”

Chang Sihao snorted lightly in his nose, which was a promise.

Qi Beishan led in front of the mountain, the two flew up to the flower house, walked between the roofs, and soon came to the back wall, there was no one in the dark alley, the two jumped down, and then ran up the wall of another house, specializing in the roof. The clouds cover the sky, the moonlight disappears from time to time, and the two figures are like black swallows skimming the water, silently sneaking in the night. After a tea hour, the speed of Qibei Mountain slowed down, and a large courtyard appeared in front of it, which was the government office, and there were soldiers stationed outside, and a team of people patrolled with knives and lanterns, and the atmosphere was really unusual.

Qi Beishan made a gesture, the two turned back, waited for the patrol team to leave the distance, climbed over the wall in the shadows, entered the courtyard, walked along the grass and trees under the corridor, carefully avoided the guards in the courtyard, and came to the back house, the main house of this mansion is high and wide and atmospheric, the top is the top of the palace, there are slopes on all sides, built to the ridge and the eaves fly, the momentum is majestic, the courtyard is brightly lit, the light is like day, the soldiers are open, the side of the window, the corridor is everywhere, it is roughly estimated that there can be three or four hundred people, one by one, the face is clean, the hand is pressed on the handle of the knife, and the spear is clenched, as if facing the enemy. There are especially more guards around the window on the left, and Qi Beishan secretly notes the position below.

Chang Sihao thought to himself, how could he hear the news from such a formation? The light was so light that he could even find a pin on the ground, and no matter how fast he was, he would be undoubtedly discovered immediately when he stepped into the courtyard.

Qi Beishan's eyes collared, his long body turned onto the top of the corridor, his body was lower than the backlit side under the ridge of the corridor, his knees rubbed his chest, his heels were attached to his buttocks, and he took the lead in touching the back of the house in small steps. Turning a corner, Qi Beishan saw that no one looked up at the soldiers below, his body was vertical, like a big cat, he ran up the side slope, his toes were stained with tiles, and there was no sound at all.

Chang Sihao looked at the soldiers patrolling the corridor, and thought to himself, you guy, you are really bold, dare to jump on top of these people's heads! He observed the movement below, and did not dare to jump forward for a long time. Qi Beishan gestured from afar to make him move quickly. Chang Sihao thought to himself: "Your grandmother's ! Jump and jump, and you also urged me to be discovered!" Don't blame me!" When he arrived at Qi Beishan's side, he heard him say in a low voice: "Those soldiers only pay attention to the movement under the corridor in the courtyard, and they don't pay attention to it, this is the psychological habit and gap, do you understand?"

Chang Sihao nodded and said, "I really rely on experience to do this job, and I don't blame him for looking down on me at that time." The original dissatisfaction in my heart also turned into convincing.

The two of them bowed and turned around on the side slope, and came to the back room slope, Qi Beishan calculated the same direction, stretched out one palm back, pressed the palm downward, and Chang Sihao fell still. Qi Beishan touched the roof tiles with his hands, moved slowly, peeled off a piece, rested it beside it, and then uncovered two pieces, the tiles that were removed were all according to the original position, the fish scales were stacked on the front tile, and a place less than two feet square was uncovered, and the soil below was soil, he opened the black pocket on the waist side, took out a piece of cloth, and put the soil on the cloth, which was enough to have a standing palm thick, and it was stripped off in a short time, revealing the lookout board.

Qi Beishan took out a horsehair brush, carefully brushed the surrounding floating soil, and then used a thin saw to press the figure-eight oblique stubble to see the lookout board and the rafters nailed underneath, and put it aside, and the hole of Hessesen was immediately exposed at the bottom, and there was a smell of old wood gushing out, he put away the tools and said in a low voice: "After entering, there is the ceiling below, lift the air, don't step on it, follow the beam, follow me, keep a little distance." ”

Chang Sihao nodded, and slowly descended with him, it was dark inside, and the two of them walked with cat squatting and touching the beams, tiptoeing and sneaking, cautiously, and not far ahead, they heard a voice talking in the room below: "In this way, then the Jingshi is dangerous again." Qi Beishan hurriedly gestured back, the black Chang Sihao couldn't see it clearly, hearing the wind slightly, Qi Beishan's hand was in front of him, he subconsciously dodged, his body shook slightly, and he fell down.

The ceiling hanging board is light and brittle, how can it not be broken if a person falls on it? Qi Beishan shouted in his heart, "Oops!" In a hurry, he reached forward with his hand and grabbed Chang Sihao's collar.

Chang Sihao almost shouted out with his arms open, his body froze there, and at the same time held his breath, eagerly listening to the movement in the room to see if anyone noticed.

I only heard another voice in the room saying: "If the dilemma of the siege of Gengxu is repeated again, then no one can stand it, I think, I am afraid that the capital will have to be moved if I don't get it this time." He spoke in a flat tone, as if he didn't notice anyone on top. Qi Beishan and Chang Sihao exhaled softly in unison, only to feel that their hearts were beating wildly, and their breath was still uncertain. I only heard the previous person say again: "It's not enough to move the capital, the barbarian people, lack of strategy and lack of wisdom, rely on the cavalry to be fierce, come and go like the wind, only know how to rob and commit adultery, how can they use soldiers." With Li Chengliang here, he only needs to be transferred back to Beijing, this person is brave and good at fighting, and he will definitely be able to break the enemy. Another person said: "Li Chengliang, the deputy chief soldier, is just a little meritorious service this year, and he is just lucky to be promoted, how can he be able to defeat the army of Meda? ”

Chang Sihao took advantage of Qi Beishan's grasp to stabilize his body, slowly regain his balance, and thought: "The person who claims to be surnamed Yu is the governor Yu Yaoting, and the person in front of him is probably Ma Lin Chengma's general soldier." It turned out that they were discussing the military, and they had nothing to do with the Qin family, but this time, Brother Chen, they were too careful. Alta was the king of the Tartars, and often led his cavalry to invade the borders, and there were tens of thousands of people at once, as I know. Why is he going to raise troops again? Moving the capital is a big deal, and the Beijing garrison has more than 100,000 troops. Why is Governor Yu talking about such a serious matter?"

Ma Lincheng said with a smile: "Brother Yu has made achievements in governing the government, but he doesn't know how to do the army, Li Chengliang is witty, and it is more than enough to deal with those thieves and Tartars." ”

Yu Yaoting said: "We are not outside, there is no one left and right, I will tell you clearly, I agree that if I come, I will go to Datong again, this terrible place will be shaken, will our hat still be worn steadily?"

Ma Lincheng smiled: "Brother Yu, we have a close friendship on weekdays, how do you think of Brother Pit at this time? Brother Rong Ma was born and his brain is not very bright, but when this kind of thing is cannon fodder, he still knows how to hide away when he encounters such a thing, last year Brave people like General Cui Shirong were killed in battle, where is the number of brothers?"

Chang Sihao was a little confused when he heard this, and thought to himself: "Why are these two people talking like they are talking in circles, and they are not clear? Damn, are you donkeys?"

"What did the brother say," Yu Yaoting's voice said: "How can Cui Shirong be compared with your brother? I am also thinking about the country, isn't it? How famous is Qi Jiguang, his Qi family army is only 3,000 people, but your sergeants are more than 10,000, anyway, there is nothing to do in Tuntian, why not allocate half of it to defend, it is easy to defend the city and difficult to attack the city, then you only need to resist for a while, I am not patient, when it is rerouted, the brother can kill some more people to receive merit and reward from the imperial court, why not?"

Chang Sihao scolded in his heart: "Shameless! You are still a state official, and you can come up with such a bad idea of killing the people to make merit." ”

Qi Beishan heard that he was breathing a little fast, and hurriedly held back his hand, signaling him not to make a noise.

Ma Lincheng said: "Brother Yu, you are happy with your brother again, it is easy to defend the city, so what is the fate of Cheng Yunfeng? You see that your brother is happy now, and when you are trapped in the city, the dog will pay attention to you! If you want the rescue of the imperial court, there is no door." Have you forgotten what it was like to surround the Jingshi in the past? The emperor didn't have any curses! Besides, you don't know about my soldiers? There are only about 5,000 people, and the false report of the 5,000 is just to receive more money. ”

"Hey," Yu Yaoting laughed and said, "Brother Xian, can my brother make you lose?" It's very easy to avoid being cannon fodder, just pull a quilt and put it in front of you. ”

Ma Lin said: "It's easy to say, where can I pull it?"

Yu Yaoting smiled and said, "Do you know about the Qin family last night?"
