"A cavalry team is coming from the direction of Xinpingbao." Zhang Hong whispered to Li Shuheng.
Li Shuheng glanced in the direction of Xinping Fort from behind the cart, and then said: "It should be General Li's cavalry in Xinping Fort. You go tell our people to be careful and beware of the officers and soldiers in front of you jumping over the wall."
"Understood." Zhang Hong nodded.
He turned his head and whispered a few instructions to the messenger next to him, who immediately ran to inform other soldiers.
For the cavalry, a journey of several miles can be accomplished in a blink of an eye.
Soon, the cavalry from Xinpingbao surrounded the Ming army outside the Tiger Flag convoy. Arrows were hung on the bowstrings, and the arrows were all aimed at Chen Youxi and the people he brought.
"Sir, these cavalrymen from Xinpingbao have bad intentions. They should be coming for us." The soldiers beside Chen Youyi whispered.
Chen Youyi's face was as gloomy as water.
He was not blind, so he could clearly see the scene in front of him, but what he didn't expect was that the officers and soldiers of Xinpingbao would be so bold and openly surround him and his people.
"Bold, I am a guerrilla on Datong East Road. Who gave you the courage to point your weapons at me and ask your superior officers to come see me." Chen Guerrilla yelled at the officers and soldiers of Xinping Fort.
"Chen Guobi is so majestic."
A sarcastic voice sounded, and the cavalry team on the Xinpingbao side separated from the two sides, and a Ming army general riding a blue horse came out.
"Li Huaixin!" Chen Youyi frowned.
He did not expect that these Xinpingbao cavalry were actually led by Li Huaixin himself, which was somewhat beyond his expectation.
"Bold, you can call the general by his name. Do you have any sense of superiority or inferiority?" A soldier who was following Li Huaixin yelled at Chen Youyi.
Chen Youyi's face darkened, knowing that the other party was deliberately trying to mess with him.
The soldier looked at Chen Youyi coldly and said, "Sir Chen, why don't you bow quickly when you see the general?"
"I've seen you, General." Chen Youyi bowed his hands casually while riding on horseback.
"Yeah." Li Huaixin snorted.
One of them is the commander-in-chief and the other is the deputy commander-in-chief. Li Huaixin doesn't care at all whether he will offend Chen Guerbi in front of him.
Both of them knew this.
Li Huaixin said: "Chen Guerrilla, why did you bring troops to my Xinping Fort? And you intercepted the passing caravan outside my Xinping Fort with such a big fanfare. Do you need to give me an explanation?"
"Sir," Chen Youyi said, "The general heard that someone had colluded with the Northern Barbarians and brought a large amount of prohibited goods from Xinpingbao to the grassland. The general then led his troops to set up an ambush here. He never thought that there was actually a caravan that wanted to go north. grassland."
As he spoke, he glanced at the direction of the tiger-character flag convoy.
Li Huaixin glanced sideways at the Tiger Flag convoy and said, "Are you saying that this is the convoy that was captured?"
"Yes, it's this team with the tiger flag." Chen Youji said.
Li Huaixin nodded and said, "Okay, leave this matter to me. You can take your people back!"
"Sir, I'm afraid this won't work." Chen Youyi refused and immediately said, "The generals will eventually take away the carriages and horses of the Tiger Flag and these people."
Li Huaixin's face sank, and he said in a cold voice: "Is it possible that this general, the Eastern Route Commander, can no longer command you, the East Route guerrilla? Or is it that you, a guerrilla, can no longer take this general seriously!"
The words were extremely harsh.
"Your Excellency, you have misunderstood." Chen Youyi felt Li Huaixin's anger and still said, "In the end, General Tian will be a guerrilla on Datong East Road. When he encounters businessmen who are having liaisons with the Northern captives, General Tian will take these people back for interrogation and force them to find out who is behind the scenes. .”
Li Huaixin said with an indifferent expression: "Chen Youyi, have you forgotten that I am the general of the East Road, this is Xinping Fort, and I am also the guard of Xinping Fort."
Chen Youji said: "Sir, please calm down. The last general has also obeyed the general order of Deputy General Li."
"There is no need to use Deputy General Li to suppress me." Li Shuheng said, "General, I don't care whose order you are serving. As the guard of Xinping Fort, I will never let you randomly arrest people who come to Xinping Fort to do business here. merchant."
"Sir, you have to think clearly, these are the key criminals of Tonglu, the people that Deputy General Li wants to arrest." Chen Youyi said with a threatening tone.
"I'm going to ask you," Li Huaixin said, "Do you have any evidence of their crimes?"
Chen Youyi pointed at the convoy of Tiger Character Flag and said: "This truckload of goods is evidence of the illicit affair between Tiger Character Flag and Beibei."
"Sir, you are doing injustice to the people." Li Shuheng walked out from behind the cart.
Chen Youyi and Li Huaixin both looked at Li Shuheng.
Li Shuheng stood in front of the cart, dozens of steps away, saluted Li Huaixin, and said: "The common people have seen the general, and I ask you to uphold justice for the common people."
"Don't worry, I'm here, no one can mess around. If you have any grievances, feel free to complain." Li Huaixin said, and at the same time glanced at Chen Youyi from the corner of his eye.
Chen Youji's eyes twitched when he heard this. He still didn't understand that the person the other party was referring to was him.
"Thank you, sir." Li Huaixin thanked him first, and then said, "The Cao Min caravan arrived here, but was stopped by this general. I insist on saying that the Cao Min are complicit, so please be careful, Sir."
Li Huaixin said: "Don't worry, I will make the decision for you. I also know that your Tiger Flag has no prisoners and everything is framed by others. Since I am here, there is no reason for anyone to take you away."
Chen Youyi's face turned pale. He could not have guessed that these words were meant for him.
Li Huaixin turned to look at Chen Youyi and said in an indifferent tone: "The matter is clear. The people in the Tiger Character Banner did not join the prisoners. It seems that Chen Youyi's trip was in vain."
Chen Youji had a serious face.
He could see that there was no way he could capture the Tiger Flag people in this trip.
First, the Tiger Character Banner's force was stronger than he expected, and then more than 200 cavalry from Xinpingbao appeared. Even if he took action forcefully, it would be useless.
He knew that there was no point in staying any longer except for being humiliated. This time he could only let the people in the Tiger Flag go first.
Thinking of this, he said to Li Huaixin: "Since the General has taken over this matter, I will take my leave. However, today's matter will be reported to Deputy General Li truthfully."
"It doesn't matter, just tell the truth." Li Huaixin said nonchalantly.
He is the commander-in-chief Zhang Huai, how could he care about the thoughts of a deputy commander-in-chief who keeps causing trouble for him.
"Shall we go?" Chen Youyi waved to the people he brought.
However, the cavalry brought by Li Huaixin did not move, and their weapons and arrows were still pointed at Chen Guerrilla and them, blocking their way.
Chen Youyi looked at Li Huaixin with an ugly face and said, "Master Li, is it time for the general to leave?"
"Master Chen can leave at any time." Li Huaixin waved his hand.
Xinpingbao's cavalry put away their arrows and made way for Chen Youyi and others to leave.
Chen Youji waved his riding whip bitterly and galloped away without looking back.
