Daming wolf ride

While eating alone, Jiang Wanli, Cao Bianjiao, Li Dashan, and Song Qing came, and later, Lin Junyi, Guo Cheng, Li Gu, and Wang Fei, the officers of the four pro-barracks, also came. Almost all the core generals of the Jinzhou Army arrived.

Seeing that everyone hadn't eaten, Shi Dayong asked Guo Yi to get some more food. The big guys just huddled around the fire and started eating dried salted radishes.

When the generals were eating, Shi Dayong put down the bowl and observed for a while. Jiang Wanli and Cao Bianjiao, the old men of Jinzhou, ate very happily and had nothing on their minds. At a glance, it seems that there is something to say, but he is afraid of something and dare not say it.

Shi Dayong knew what the two of them were thinking, it wasn't about killing officials and attacking officers and soldiers, and suddenly turning in, thousands of people were short of food.

Dayong was also worried and anxious, wondering if he could make a comeback in one fell swoop this time.But he couldn't show his anxiety in front of his subordinates, he only thought about the serious situation in his heart. [

After eating, everyone put down their bowls and sat quietly. Dayong suddenly got up and waved to them, telling them not to go back, but to wait here for a while and go around by themselves. He will come to discuss matters later.The generals agreed, and Dayong asked Guo Yi to take some soldiers with him.

The moon had already risen in the sky, and under the moonlight there were camps of the Jinzhou Army everywhere, some living in tents, and some camping beside the fire.

The horses of the Wolf Cavalry Army and the Supply Battalion are being fed by special personnel, but now there is a shortage of food and grass, so the feed for the horses has been reduced, mainly hay, and some beans are also added.

Because of turning in for several days, the soldiers were really exhausted. Some wolf cavalry lay down on the grass next to the horseshoes, with the reins hanging on their arms, pillowed on the saddle, and snoring. They were really tired.

The soldiers who hadn't fallen asleep saw the general approaching, and quickly got up to salute. Dayong told them not to get up, but to go to bed early.Along the way, there were soldiers who came forward to salute Dayong, most of them were from Jinzhou old battalion.

He went to the left battalion of the Infantry Army to inspect it, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, Dayong was about to go back. At this time, a soldier chased him and called out: "General!"

Dayong stopped and turned around, and asked the soldier, "What's the matter?"

The soldiers approached him and reported to him: "General, Captain Peng and the others are back."

"Come back, so fast?" Dayong was a little surprised. Why did Peng Dachui come back so fast? Counting the time, he should still be around Pingdu.

Could something be wrong?Dayong was startled, and hurriedly waved his hand to signal Guo Yi to go back with him.

As soon as Dayong came back, he saw Jiang Wanli, Cao Bianjiao, and Li Dashan talking around the fire, stopped and listened to a few words, but they were talking about the thief.Peng Dachui and his nephew Si Hai squatted aside, biting yams.

Everyone didn't realize that Shi Dayong came back, and was talking excitedly, Song Qing, acting battalion officer of the infantry left battalion, said emotionally: "The imperial court stationed so many soldiers in Huguang and the Central Plains, and I heard that they all drove the intruders into the mountains. It’s only been a few months, and the Central Plains is in chaos again? Could it be that those soldiers are useless?” (Author’s Note: The intruder at this time is Gao Yingxiang)

"Hmph! The soldiers were not up to the task, and the civilian officials were blindly directing the people in the northwest to cause chaos. Things like this happened more than once or twice. If the suppression continues like this, I'm afraid there will be more thieves than officers and soldiers. "After Cao became the general in the northwest of Jiao, he fought several battles with the militia with his uncle Wenzhao. He felt deeply about the militia, but he knew better than everyone present the root cause of the increasing chaos.After following Shi Dayong for a long time, Cao Bianjiao's personality is becoming more and more like Shi Dayong, probably because of the reason that those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black.

"Damn it! Damn it!" Li Dashan scolded, "Didn't the imperial court ask Chen Qiyu to be the governor of the five provinces? It is said that there is a master in charge, but why is the situation getting more and more chaotic?"

Jiang Wanli shook his head and explained: "Chen Qiyu is a new official, and he is in Xi'an. The trouble happened in Henan. He cannot save the fire from the distant water. However, there are always fewer thieves than last year. I heard that he was severely wounded by the governor Lu Xiangsheng in Xunyang, and his vitality was seriously injured. Although he ran into Henan again, he is afraid that he is no longer the opponent of the Henan army."

His words made everyone nod their heads. Although they have been staying in Pingdugou, a place where nothing is shit, the general has also obtained a lot of military intelligence pond newspapers from Pei Shaokuan in the Beijing camp, many of which are Those who talk about the thieves in the Central Plains and Huguang, all the generals know about the several victories of the officers and soldiers against the Henan thieves in the next year.Although the intruder has fled from Xunyang to Henan again now, he has not had the momentum of last year, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is lingering.

Among the old people from Jinzhou present, Lin Junyi came from Changping to vote in the Dalinghe battle, and he was not as good as Jiang Wanli and Li Dashan, who had been following Shi Dayong, so when they were talking, he didn't intervene. .When others stopped talking, he suddenly said: "I think this gangster is afraid that it will be difficult to calm down for a while. Didn't the gangsters always come back to life when they were in a desperate situation? So this time it will be the same as before. We can't be too optimistic. Ah, I guess we still can’t wipe it out.” After finishing speaking, he suddenly said with excitement: “If our Daming continues to have civil strife, maybe Man Tartars will take the opportunity to re-enter the customs!”

Hearing this, everyone was startled, even Shi Dayong who was in the distance was surprised when he heard it. He had a vague impression that the Qing army did enter the customs several times, and they didn't seem to be at the same place. Could it be that, as Lin Junyi said, Is the slave chief Hongtai really planning to enter the customs again? [

Yes or no, no one can answer.

Jiang Wanli sighed and said: "Who can say for sure about this matter, we are not Manchus, who knows what they think. However, in the past two years, the eastern captives invaded and the disaster in Gyeonggi was serious, but the imperial court also strengthened Gyeonggi. Defense, I'm afraid Donglu won't be able to break in easily again."

"What if Donglu doesn't come in from Gyeonggi?" Lin Junyi's eyes became sharper.

"This"

Jiang Wanli was speechless and didn't dare to think about it.The complexions of the rest of the people also changed, and for a while, there was silence around the fire.

"Whether they come or not is not our concern. Soldiers come to block, water comes to flood the earth, and the Eastern Captives came from Jinzhou in the first battle, and the losses were not small. Even if they want to re-enter the pass, they will not be able to come right now. We The top priority is how to break into Pingdu City."

Shi Dayong walked up, and the generals got up to salute hurriedly, Dayong looked straight at Peng Dahammer, and asked in a deep voice, "How is it?"

"I can fight." Peng Dachui nodded his head slightly.

"Tell me." Shi Dayong took Peng Dahammer's hand and sat down.
