Sun Yong left the Central Army tent with confusion.

Several generals, Shi Tou, Wu Datou, Luo Zhao, Liu Jian, Lao Xie gathered outside the tent and were watching him.

The stone with a fleshy face chuckled and touched his head:

"Old Sun, it's not embarrassing to ask the Marquis to cry. No one of the brothers has ever cried with the Marquis, so it's not embarrassing."

Lao Xie looked contempt:

"Many people have made contributions but have not been awarded any rewards. The men are not old ladies. I cry and scream."

Sun Yong was about to defend himself, but suddenly he thought of Su Cheng’s explanation just now. He knew that there was something else in this matter, so he smacked his lips and looked annoyed:

"Get out of your mother, I can't cry a few words when I'm wronged. Children who can cry have breastfeeding. The emperor doesn't pay attention to us. We can't compare to that guy Fan Guang. If we don't cry a few words, the marquis knows our suffering."

Liu Jian put his left arm around Sun Yong's shoulder and said with a smile:

"Why, Master, please turn around and write your name on the merits?"

Sun Yong raised his head and walked out arrogantly:

"Who are we? The old man who has made his fortune with the Marquis has fought in his blood and water. The Marquis can still not take care of us if he lives in a life-long relationship."

Lao Xie and Shi Tou looked at each other, and they squeezed away Liu Jian, with curiosity on their faces:

"Old Sun, tell me, what did the marquis promise you?"

"I said, Lao Sun, you can do it. If you keep silent, you will get the benefit from the Marquis's hand."

...

In the camp, Su Cheng frowned.

Thinking of Zhu Qiyu's several arrangements, none of them was easy to deal with.

Arranged military generals and ministers to take the title of Minister of War and to join the cabinet to counsel the military affairs in preparation for the emperor's consultation.

Such an arrangement itself will cause huge waves in the court, and the civil servants will definitely react very much. The censors of the Kedao are afraid that they will rush forward one after another to seek death.

After driving Zhu Qizhen to the north, Zhu Qiyu finally understood that he could not kill Zhu Qizhen, so he could only follow Yexian and rush him north to the grassland.

It seems that the military strategy needs to be corrected this time.

Su Cheng picked up the pen and wrote a letter. After sealing it, he ordered Zhang Yong at the door:

"Tell the letter to Lao Xie and ask him to send elite soldiers to cross the mountains at night without taking them over, and to General Yang Hong of Xuanfu."

"Tell Lao Xie, I judge that the Ming army led by Wei Ying should have gone north and will probably enter Juyong Pass from the north."

Zhang Yong took the letter and left, and Su Cheng ordered Yang Er to say:

"Send a messenger to return to Beijing and order Fan Guang and Zhang Fu to speed up. At the latest, the cannons must be pulled to Juyong Pass, otherwise military law will be carried out."

Outside the central army's tent, the original noise soon disappeared, and the generals and soldiers who had received the military orders dispersed.

Lao Xie received Su Cheng's military order, held the letter in his hand, and returned to his own night-delay business.

Because Sucheng attaches great importance to Ye Wusheng, Ye Wusheng was established before the Battle of Demaguan. With the establishment of the 12th Regiment Battalion, Ye Wusheng was gradually growing.

However, due to the harsh selection conditions, there were not many nights in the camp, only about 200 people, but they were all elite.

Lao Xie entered the camp, and while taking off his helmet, he shouted that the messenger would send a few general flags to come.

Lao Xie's messenger reminded him:

"Sir, you have scattered all the general flags of Lao Han and others. Apart from the two small flags on duty, there are only a few soldiers from the personal guards in our camp."

Lao Xie slapped his thigh, and then he remembered that he had received the order from the Marquis and scattered everyone out, searching for Wei Ying's rebels' traces.

Holding the letter in his hand, Lao Xie walked back and forth a few steps, his face struggled and changed a few times, and finally asked the foal:

"I'm sure except for the two small flags on duty, there's only our team of personal guards?"

The foal nodded.

Lao Xie stuffed the letter into his arms in a few seconds, and laughed and ordered the foal:

"Send the order to get along, let the guards gather and send me a letter to the Marquis."

"This time we are going to cross the mountains and ridges, so that the brothers will take off all the cotton armor, only cotton coats, spears and hammers, don't bring any heavy weapons like them, just carry their own waist knives."

After ordering, watching the foal go to pass the order, Lao Xie picked up the teacup on the table and drank it clean. Then he said proudly:

"Hey, I'm not going to go into battle this time. There's really no one to use it. Marquis, you can't scold me this time."

When Lao Xie packed up and returned, all the people from the personal guard gathered together, and a total of twenty-two people were all dressed in coarse cloth and dressed up as ordinary people. At first glance, they looked like farmers who were working on work in the farmland at the village.

Lao Xie was very satisfied. These little bastards were well dealt with by themselves. If they were out, they might not be able to pull these guys out of the crowd.

"We will ride our horses to the flat ground today. When we get to the hillside, we will abandon our horses and climb over the pass while it is dark, and strive to arrive at Xuanfu tomorrow."

"Set off."

Lao Xie turned over and led the team to set off.

When they left the camp, the soldiers who were repairing the camp were carrying shovels and hoes.

Outside the camp, three layers of trenches have been dug, and a trench near the village wall has been sprinkled with caltrops, and a section has been covered.

Zhang Yizheng was talking to several team officials and pointed at several points.

Old Xie Chang riding on the horse laughed:

"I said Lao Zhang, what's the use of doing this?"

"It's a dream to have the Marquis leading the troops, and the Ola soldiers want to touch our village wall."

"I said Lao Zhang, if you do these things, you will have to be removed as it is sooner or later."

Zhang Yi raised his head and frowned at Lao Xie on the horse's back, slightly surprised, but after seeing the same outfit of the personal guard behind him, Zhang Yi immediately scolded Lao Xie:

"I said thank you, your grandson will go into battle again. Let the marquis find out, and you will have to hit you with a military stick."

Lao Xie whipped a whip on the horse's butt, and laughed and left:

"Old Zhang, you are wrong this time. The Marquis cannot blame me this time. My soldiers have been sent out. The important thing about sending letters is that I, Lao Xie, can only take action in person."

Zhang Yi looked at Ye Bushang who was leaving, shook his head and continued to instruct several team officials to build a village. However, after seeing their disapproval, his face changed.

In his heart, he secretly scolded Lao Xie for not doing human affairs and encouraged his subordinates not to obey his arrangements.

Zhang Yi had a cold face and scolded the team officers under his command.

Lao Xie left the camp and headed straight to the north. He soon arrived at the foot of the mountain. He sent two people to climb up and explore the way, leaving two people to guard the horses. Lao Xie took the remaining brothers to stick their butts and start climbing the mountain.

When it was getting dark, Lao Xie led his people to a low mountain.

"Can't leave."

Lao Xie stopped and ordered.

The mountains are high and dense, and there is no road at all. When you walk in the dark night, you accidentally step on the air and fall to the bottom of the cliff.

Can't leave anymore.

If there is no moon at night, then wait until tomorrow.

"The mountain baby is gone, sir."

The foal, whose clothes were ragged, came from behind and said nervously.

Lao Xie, whose face was cut by thorns, changed his expression and asked with a low roar:

"Who has seen Shanwoo just now? Where was the last time?"

A few Yebushang looked at each other and thought about it carefully. There was a Yebushang named Heiwa and said:

"When I climbed over Eagle Beak Rock, I pulled Shanwazi. He fell behind me from wherever he started. Could it be that he fell from Eagle Beak Cliff."

Heiwa said as he tidied up his sleeves. His sleeves had been cut into strips of cloth by thorns. The cotton inside was stained with many dead grass leaves, looking like refugees fleeing famine.

The horse foal also said:

"It must have fallen from the Eagle Beak Cliff. I heard a sneering sound. I looked back and saw nothing. I thought I had heard it wrong, but I didn't expect that Shanwazi fell down."

Lao Xie rubbed his face and said:

"First take a break, drink water, and eat dry food. The road ahead is even more difficult. Brothers, please regain your energy first and then move forward when there is light."

Because a brother died and everyone was injured, everyone was feeling a little depressed, and they all kept their heads chewing dry food and drinking cold water.

Lao Xie ate a mouthful of hard bread, drank the cold water from the water bag, and looked up at the mountains in the distance. The road was difficult to walk. If you continue, you may even die if you have a few brothers.

Thinking of the mountain kid who died silently from the cliff, Lao Xie clenched his fists and wanted to survive.
