At noon, Chang Yu and others got up one after another, washed up and ate in the hall. Huang Degong, Hao Yaoqi and others who had used basins instead of bowls last night showed their heroic spirit. At this time, they all rubbed their heads and grimaced, muttering that they would drink again next time. Just a grandson!
"My lord, haven't you gotten up yet?" Chang Yu asked the butler who was waiting without seeing Zhu Youyi.
"The prince is even slightly unwell and is still resting in the back palace. What orders does the governor have?" the housekeeper said quickly. Chang Yu was startled when he heard this: "Could he be sick?"
The housekeeper hummed and said, "Perhaps I have been working too hard recently. Suddenly... the doctor has looked at it and said it's okay. Just take a rest."
Chang Yu then breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Zhu Youyi had been under too much pressure before. As soon as the Qing army retreated, the pressure suddenly disappeared. After a sudden shock, his body couldn't bear it anymore.
"Where's General Li? He hasn't gotten up either?" Chang Yu asked again.
"General Li went to the street early in the morning..." As the housekeeper was talking, he saw Li Yan coming back and greeted Chang Yu with his hands.
"General Li is so excited. He got up so early and went looking for flowers and willows. Oh no, he was looking for ancient things." Huang Degong joked.
Li Yan was not worried and looked at everyone in the hall with a slight smile: "Everyone, I hope I have more work to do later!"
They are all old people, and you can immediately tell the smell
"The Tatars are moving?" Zhou Yuji raised his eyebrows, and everyone in the hall fell silent and stared at Li Yan.
Li Yan then told the Qing army about the frequent presence of probing horses in Linzi City. Huang Degong and others immediately shouted: "The stubborn Tatars are going to attack Linzi..."
Chang Yu and Li Muchian almost said in unison: "The Tatars are about to escape..."
Huang Degong, Tu Yuan, and even Zhou Yuji didn't react for a moment. It was obviously a move by the Tatars to attack Linzi in order to vent their hatred. How could they say he was going to escape.
"That's what I think in my humble position." Li Yan looked at Chang Yu and smiled slightly. He stayed at the North Gate for a whole morning, sending scouts to keep an eye on the Qing army's camp and the traces of their scouting horses. Although there was no movement in the Qing army's camp, However, Qi Tan Ma's frequent investigations around Linzi confirmed his suspicions. Sure enough, the little eunuch and that nubi also thought of something together.
"This is good news." Chang Yu put down the bowl and chopsticks and wiped his mouth, then picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "After causing trouble for Yu Yu, he is finally going away, but how can he be allowed to walk away arrogantly because of the country's hatred and family feud, regardless of him? What kind of blinding trick is used? You will bite him hard when he steps forward. He is thousands of miles away from the customs. I will not understand your hatred until I peel off every layer of his skin. You can use as much force as you want. Saying this, he slaps the table hard and kills the dog to achieve merit. , wait until when!"
"Okay, kill the dog to achieve merit!" Huang Degong and other generals clenched their fists and shouted, which made the palace jump up and down, thinking that something had happened.
"Does the factory supervisor have any plans? Li Yan's mood was aroused by Chang Yu's few words, and he looked at the little eunuch with bright eyes.
"General Li has been planning at the top of the city all morning. He must have a perfect plan. Let's hear it." Chang Yu put down the tea cup in his hand and raised his eyebrows.
Li Yan smiled slightly and rubbed his hands: "It's not a foolproof plan. It's just that if the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. If the enemy moves, I'll move first..."
"Hey, what are you talking about? I'm so dizzy. Please tell me something clear." Huang Degong already had an unbearable headache when he was hungover, and it was even worse when he was surrounded by Li Yan. He couldn't help shouting.
"What General Li means is that if the Tatars want to escape, we won't chase them. If the Tatars want to attack Linzi, we will attack Linzi." Chang Yu took over the words, and Li Yan nodded slightly: "This is what a humble position means." .
Strike first to gain the upper hand? Even Zhou Yuji was a little confused now.
Chang Yu sighed: "It took at least three years for the people of Qingzhou City to recover from the war. Why should the people of Linzi follow in the same footsteps? If the Tatars send troops to Linzi, we will directly send troops to intercept them and prevent the war from reaching the city!"
"I'm humble enough to ask for a fight!" Tu Yuan and Hao Yaoqi stood up almost at the same time, and then Ji Jike, Huang Degong and Zhou Yuji all shouted. Chang Yu suddenly had a headache and looked at Li Yan with a bitter smile and said: "You'd better do some generals."
Li Yan bowed his hands in a circle: "Everyone, this battle is very likely to be a smoke bomb for the Tatars to deceive others. Simply put, the thunder is loud and the rain is small. It is hard to say whether there will be a fight or not. Even if it is big, it will be a small scene, so..."
"So what? Ant legs are also meat. I'll take this job." Tu Yuan waved his hand: "I don't need to say too much, I need military merit!"
"Hey, no matter how much you need it, I don't need it." Hao Yaoqi smiled bitterly: "If I don't earn more military merit, I will be embarrassed to work under the factory governor."
"Don't bother..." Huang Degong slapped the table and was about to pull it when he was held down by Chang Yu. Don't join in the fun and leave some food for others. After hearing what he said, Zhou Yuji, who was originally planning to argue, let out a loud cry. Tone, shrugged and smiled without saying a word.
"Everyone, please tell me something." Li Yan cupped his hands and said, "This job has been promised to others."
"Who?" Tu Yuan shouted.
"Commander Jia and Lao Jiu in the city have been talking to each other all morning, and I have made a promise," Li Yan said.
Tu Yuan exclaimed, "It's Lao Jia. I guess he's going out to vent his anger at being beaten by the Tatars when he was defending the city. That's fine. I'll give up my brother to him." If it were someone else, Tu Yuan would not give it up, but Jia Waixiong and he were both from the Fourth Battalion of Dongchang, so the wealth did not go to outsiders.
But Hao Yaoqi didn't want to. He had previously stated in front of Li Yan that he would work hard in the ranks of officers and soldiers. Now he just wanted to earn military merit and be able to lead an independent army, so he wanted chicken legs or grasshopper legs.
Li Yan looked at Chang Yu helplessly.
Chang Yu thought for a moment and agreed. To kill the enemy in the field, a strong general should be in charge. Although Jia Waixiong was brave, he was still not as good as Hao Yaoqi.
"Factory Supervisor, I humble my position and ask for a fight." At this moment, there was a loud shout outside the hall. Brother and sister Song Luoshu cupped their fists and asked for a fight. Everyone was shocked. Zhou Yuji and Huang Degong looked at each other with a bitter smile and shook their heads. In the past, everyone avoided fighting, but now everyone is fighting against the strongest enemy of the Ming Dynasty. Scrambling to be the first, have times changed?
"No." Chang Yu picked up the teacup and sipped lightly. Although the Song Luoshu brothers and sisters were highly skilled in martial arts, fighting in rivers and lakes was completely different from fighting on the battlefield. Although they had participated in several battles chasing enemies along the way, they were still far behind those professional veterans. Professional generals like Hao Yaoqi and Jia Waixiong are not even in the same rank. They have no eyesight on the battlefield. Song Luoshu's marriage has just been decided, and Chang Yu doesn't want him to be involved in danger.
"I humble my position and ask for a fight." Unexpectedly, the expressions of the Song brothers and sisters were firm.
Chang Yu raised his eyebrows and scolded: "What kind of trouble are you trying to make? Is the governor's words not going to work?"
"I don't dare to take part in the war even though I'm in a humble position. Please allow me, the factory supervisor, to join the war in a humble position." Song Luoshu pleaded. Chang Yu, who was about to refuse, finally relented. He understood why Song Luoshu insisted on participating in the war: he was eager to seek merit, promotion and marry a wife.
"You are not allowed to go. If you dare to disobey the order, you will be tied up and sent back to the capital immediately." Chang Yu pointed at Song Luoyu and said sternly.
"I obey the orders, I am staying in the palace and not going anywhere." Song Luoyu grinned, and Chang Yu realized that this girl had no intention of joining the war, she was just cheering and cheering for his brother.
"Go, go, go." Chang Yu waved, Song Luoyu smiled, turned around and left, skipping towards the back house. As soon as he entered the door, he met the princess Zhu Yan: "Eunuch Chang, are you sure?"
Well, Song Luoyu nodded vigorously, with a happy face: "That's right, I guess we will leave the city in a short while!"
"Ah, so fast!" Zhu Yan frowned with worry on her face, Song Luoyu observed her words, the princess was worried about my brother.
"I...I..." Zhu Yan was shy and anxious and didn't know how to answer. Song Luoyu chuckled: "Don't worry, there will be no less than ten fights from the capital to this point. My brother is considered to have been on the battlefield for a long time, so nothing will happen to him. "As he spoke, he lowered his voice and sighed: "Brother just wants to earn more military merit, so that when you get married, he won't look shabby..."
"How long have I disliked him for being so shabby..." Zhu Yan said quickly.
Song Luoshu smiled bitterly: "People are self-aware, and the princess does not dislike it. We are self-aware. A few months ago, my brother and sister were just desperate killers. They were exposed to wind and rain, living in no fixed place and penniless. They threw themselves into the East." The factory must have the respect of the governor to have the idea of seeking a future, not to mention that you and my brother are engaged now... Although I don't say that you will be rich and powerful in the future, I still have to not let you get married and sleep on the street."
Zhu Yan gritted her teeth and said softly: "Actually, I have a lot of private money, so I won't sleep on the street..." Song Luoyu chuckled: "I was just making an analogy. In terms of private money, you may not have as much as me. Here you go. Oh, the factory supervisor is very generous to his subordinates. I have saved a lot of reward money..."
