Chongzhen Chat Group

Chapter 455 Dead of Night

Before it got completely dark, Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai, led the army and set off.

A hundred miles in one night, for future generations, driving would only take less than half an hour. But for this cavalry army, it is a relatively serious task. If we don’t travel more early, we may not be able to reach Liaoyang before dawn.

All the Han people in the village came out of the village to see them off. Only when the backs of the cavalry could no longer be seen, did they return to the village under the shouts of the leaders. They got rid of the remaining Jurchen Tatars in the village, then divided the things in the village and rushed to the seaside. There is still a dangerous future waiting for them.

In the chat group, Emperor Chongzhen once again created a temporary group and brought Ruhua and Gao Yingyuan into this group. In this way, Gao Yingyuan and Ruhua can talk directly and conveniently. All matters in Liaoyang are decided by Lu Xiangsheng. Emperor Chongzhen himself should eat, drink, and sleep, and everything will be fine.

However, he was still a little worried about Ruhua, a key figure. Without her, there would be great difficulties in seizing the city if there was no immediate communication between the inside and outside. Therefore, he asked Ruhuadao: "How is your health? Can you persist?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I have rested in Zhuangzi for two days and have recovered a long time ago." Wei Mulan was grateful and added, "After resting and recuperating, all the soldiers in the army are in good health. Now. The morale of the whole army is very high, your Majesty, rest assured, there will be good news tomorrow morning."

There are indeed many benefits to resting in the village for two days. Previously, the eight hundred cavalry troops entered the hinterland of Liaodong day and night. Both the men and the horses had accumulated a certain amount of fatigue. Now it's like just starting out, so the physical strength and morale are naturally different.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was relieved a lot. After encouraging them both, he hugged Concubine Tian and went to sleep by himself.

The night was getting darker and darker. Gao Yingyuan looked at the sky and asked where Wei Mulan was, then turned and walked into the barracks.

In this barracks, there were hundreds of people sitting on the fire kang, most of them were drowsy and dozing. When Gao Yingyuan opened the door, cold wind came in, immediately waking up those people near the door.

"Fifth brother, it's almost time!" Gao Yingyuan spoke directly to Han Wu, who was sitting inside and thinking deeply, and woke up some people.

Others didn't know what was going on, but Han Wu naturally understood. As soon as he heard this, he stood up and immediately shouted loudly: "Get up, all armed, and follow my brothers to patrol the streets!"

As for curfew inspections, and there is no war, it is naturally impossible for the Jurchen Tatars to do these things. Such a job fell to Han Wu.

As soon as he said this, one of his subordinates said flatteringly: "Han Qianhu, why do you have to go personally for this kind of thing? I can just lead them there!"

"Yes, Han Qianhu, just sleep. Nothing will happen to you." Other subordinates also followed suit and expressed their opinions one after another.

"..."

Under the light of the fire, Han Wu's face was a little serious, and he shouted coldly: "Where's all this nonsense? Just do whatever my brother says, don't be nagging! Otherwise, I'll replace you tomorrow!"

These are his little bosses, and their treatment is naturally better than that of ordinary soldiers. I originally thought that by flattering me, I could better hold onto the thighs of Han Wu and Gao Yingyuan. After all, these two Qianhu are now being appreciated by the Jurchens, and they are also good opponents. Unexpectedly, what he got in exchange was a scolding, and everyone immediately shut up, not daring to have other thoughts.

So, after leaving the camp gate, Gao Yingyuan and Han Wu each led about fifty people to patrol separately. The route the two of them took was mostly to important places like military camps and government offices. When we returned to the camp after our inspection, it was already dawn in less than an hour.

As soon as the two met, they asked their men to wait where they were, while the two of them went to the side to talk.

"Fifth brother, we have arrived outside the west gate." Gao Yingyuan said a little excitedly, but also a little nervously.

Upon hearing this, Han Wu patted his shoulder and asked in a deep voice: "Ying Yuan, are you okay?"

"Okay, fifth brother, don't worry!" Gao Yingyuan patted his chest and responded in a low voice.

Han Wu looked at him for a while, feeling a little worried, and reminded him in a low voice: "Remember, be decisive! Although these people are the most obedient group our brothers have ever selected, we still cannot take it lightly and don't let them There’s a chance to think about it.”

"I know!" Gao Yingyuan nodded seriously, "Fifth brother, you have to be careful yourself!"

Han Wu nodded without saying anything. After patting Gao Yingyuan's shoulder again, he gave him a slight push.

Gao Yingyuan glanced at the fifth brother again, then without hesitation, turned around and walked towards the team, stood still and said seriously: "My brother is going to complete the tasks assigned by Lord Babuhai. If he does a good job, my brother will be rewarded, and you will also benefit from it." .If you do something wrong, please don’t follow us brothers anymore.”

Upon hearing this, some sleepy people stopped sleeping immediately. It concerns the future of Han Qianhu and Gao Qianhu, as well as their own future. If something goes wrong, this matter will be serious!

"You just obey orders and act well. If you perform well, your position as commander-in-chief will be determined." After Gao Yingyuan finished speaking, he gave the order to set off.

Han Wu watched silently until Gao Yingyuan led the team out of the camp gate and disappeared from sight. Then he turned around and walked towards each barracks and kicked in the doors.

Not long after, Gao Yingyuan led the team to patrol all the way to the west gate. They were fully armed, and a hundred or so people walked past like this. Even if no one spoke, the movement was still a bit loud in the dead of night. Even though the gatekeeper was dozing off, he was awakened and hurriedly went away after hearing the sound.

Gao Yingyuan and the others were holding torches, and without asking, they could see who they were under the light of the fire at a glance.

When the soldiers guarding the city gate saw them walking towards the west gate, they felt a little angry. What are they doing, disturbing people's dreams?

Even if he was unwilling, some soldiers finally came forward and stopped Gao Yingyuan under the city gate, shouting unhappily: "Where have you been patrolling? Go back!"

Gao Yingyuan looked at him expressionlessly and said coldly: "I've been ordered to leave the city and open the door!"

Upon hearing this, the gatekeeper was stunned for a moment. He went out before dawn. He immediately stretched out his hand and said, "Where is the warrant?"

With a "pop", Gao Yingyuan slapped the man in the face, knocking the man unconscious: "Are you worthy? Ask Zhun Tugu to come over and see for yourself, it's related to Lord Babuhai's secret order."

His slap shocked the soldiers behind Gao Yingyuan. Seeing him getting angry and remembering what he said, several soldiers immediately followed him and shouted: "If you didn't hear what we Qianhu said, why don't you go quickly!"

The gatekeeper was also a Han, otherwise he wouldn't be able to guard the gate in shifts. After hearing this, he saw how angry they were and didn't dare to neglect them, so he hurriedly reported it.

Gao Yingyuan waited quietly, waiting for Zhun Tugu, who was in charge of the key, to come out.
