Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 592 is about to meet
"Steal this grain with you? Pooh, what are you? I'll grab this grain with you? When the commander-in-chief approaches the city, I'd like to see what waves you can make!

The food you took away today will be brought back by the Chief Soldier sooner or later.Hmph, at that time, I want to see if you can still laugh. "The man looked at the person sitting beside him, cursing in his heart.

Although the man despises him in his heart, he still has to show a kind look on his face.

The man suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and said with a smirk: "Brother Qi, don't worry, I won't earn these grains with you. I have sold cement for a lot of money in the past few years. I don't want the grain this time." Will want it!"

"Haha, that's good, that's good. If Brother Wen and I compete for these grains, with Brother Wen's financial resources, then I really can't compete with Brother Wen!"

The man called Brother Qi by the man laughed and finally felt relieved.

The man's name was Wen Zaidao, and he was originally a steward of Zhao Wen's caravan. He was sent to Zhangde Mansion by Zhao Wen because he was cautious and thoughtful.

One is to resell cement, and the other is to collect intelligence.

There are more than 50 masters under Wen Zaidao's subordinates. These masters are usually Wen Zaidao's buddies, and they secretly collect news about Zhangde Mansion.The collected information will be summarized, and the useful ones will be spread to Xuan Town.

There are people like Wen Zaidao in almost every county in Henan.

These people are either cement vendors, glass vendors or grain vendors.

Time passed slowly, and the competition for the food among the merchants in the hall gradually reached its climax.

These businessmen usually call each other brothers and they seem to be happy and happy, but when it comes to these grains, they are blushing and neck thick, and no one is willing to take a step back.

In the middle of the night, a businessman named Chen Liang snatched the last grain from the Changping warehouse in Zhangde Mansion.

Chen Liang stood up, bowed his hands at Yuan Shenyan and the many businessmen in the hall, and said with a smile on his face: "Everyone, I have accepted it, I have accepted it!"

The businessmen in the hall looked at Chen Liang with different expressions on their faces.

There is dissatisfaction, resentment, and envy.

Yuan Shenyan stroked the beard on his chin, with a smile on his face.

The smiles of the Zhangde Mansion officials sitting under Yuan Shenyan were even stronger than Yuan Shenyan's.

As the saying goes, a person who attains enlightenment ascends to heaven, Yuan Shenyan said that after selling the grain, they can also have a sip of soup.

When the time came to midnight, the merchants in the hall had already left.

And Yuan Shenyan, under the arrangement of his subordinates, carried a few beauties to the guest room on the third floor.

This night was destined to be a sleepless night, Wen Tiren sat quietly in the yard, not feeling sleepy at all.

The sad look on his face became more and more serious, even if the cloak on his body was wet with dew, he didn't care.

"Hey, what should I do now? If I go to the front line in Henan, I will definitely die. If I don't go, His Majesty will not let me go. Although no one is watching me, but when I pass by the place, the local officials will definitely report me. Whereabouts. Difficult, difficult, it is too difficult." Wen Tiren slapped his thigh and kept sighing.

Dark clouds began to appear in the sky, covering the moon.

The moonlight also gradually dimmed, and finally disappeared completely, and the earth was pitch black.

When the first drops of rain hit the ground, the rain fell in a patter.

Wen Tiren stood up and walked towards his room.

Wen Tiren lay on the bed again, listening to the sound of rain outside, his eyes gradually became hazy.

The spring rain fell on Zhangde Mansion, and even the land of Jiyuan where Song Hu was located also had spring rain.

The sky gradually brightened, and Song Hu led the soldiers and horses and began to go to Jiyuan.

Song Hu led the cavalry to gallop on the official road in Henan.

Due to years of disrepair, the ground was soaked by rain and became muddy.

Song Hu and the others also gradually slowed down.

Song Hu was wearing a raincoat made of oilcloth and looked at the road ahead.

There are wheat fields on both sides of the official road, but because there is no fertilizer, the wheat seedlings in the wheat fields are sparse and malnourished.

The official road is not very wide, so the soldiers under Song Hu's command inevitably stepped on the wheat field.

Song Hu did not stop this phenomenon.

Now that it is raining heavily and the road is muddy, the time to go to Henan will definitely be longer.

If the cavalry were not allowed to rush through the wheat fields, it would probably take longer.

In Song Hu's view, these wheat fields are stepped on as soon as they are stepped on. At worst, after Henan is captured, the owner of the wheat fields will be compensated.

"Brothers, it's raining now, let's hurry up, we must arrive at Jiyuan at noon today." Song Hu turned his head, looked at the orderly beside him, and roared at the top of his voice.

The messengers beside him took Song Hu's orders and headed towards the surroundings.

Zhao Wen was riding on a war horse, wearing a raincoat similar to Song Hu's, and looking ahead.

"My lord, according to our current speed, we will definitely reach the Yellow River defense line before noon tomorrow!" Li Xiaosan followed behind Zhao Wen and said to Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen nodded and said, "Yes, we will definitely reach the Henan defense line before noon tomorrow!"

At this moment, several war horses suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Wen, and the people sitting on these horses were wearing the clothes worn by ordinary people.

Li Xiaosan looked at these people rushing over, narrowed his eyes, and involuntarily put his right hand on the big black star on his waist.

"Go ahead and see who they are!" Zhao Wen said, pointing to these people who suddenly appeared in front of him.

As soon as the voice fell, dozens of personal guards rushed out from Zhao Wen on horseback.

In a short while, these personal guards surrounded these people.

"Who are you?" A sturdy guard looked at these people coldly and asked.

These people pulled the reins of the horses in their hands and stopped.

A big man came out from inside, "We are the spies of Luoyang City, where Henan Fucheng is located. This is my identity certificate. Ye Bushou in front has already found out our identity!"

The big man took out an iron plate from his pocket and threw it to the sturdy bodyguard.

The personal guard caught the iron plate in the air, and recognized the iron plate at a glance.

Every soldier under Zhao Wen's command has an iron plate to prove his identity, even these spies are no exception.

These iron plates are made by stamping process, engraved with the soldier's identity information.

The stamping process was only realized by Zhao Wen in this era, so Zhao Wen didn't have to worry about forgery at all, and the characteristics of the stamping process were also obvious, plus the anti-counterfeiting feature designed by Zhao Wen himself, so it was very easy to recognize.

The guard returned the iron plate in his hand to the big man, "Follow me!"

After speaking, the personal guard turned around and led these people to Zhao Wen's body.

"I have seen Mr. Chief Soldier!"

As soon as these people arrived in front of Zhao Wen, they jumped off their horses and saluted Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen waved his hands, "Get up!"

These people thanked each other, and then stood up from the ground.

"My lord, this is the secret letter that shopkeeper Liu of Luoyang City asked us to hand over to my lord!" The leading man took out a secret letter sealed with wax from his arms.

Li Xiaosan jumped off the horse, took the secret letter and handed it to Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen took the secret letter, checked the seal, and then opened the secret letter.

The contents of the secret letter are the various changes in the Central Henan Mansion in the recent period, as well as some orders issued by Sun Chuanting.

Among them is the order sent by Chongzhen to Sun Chuanting, because Sun Chuanting only implemented the second one, so there is only the second one in the secret letter.

Sun Chuanting had asked Wu Tong to issue the second order in the imperial decree a few days ago, and the spies in Luoyang sent the news to Zhao Wen as soon as they got it.

But because of the existence of the Yellow River defense line, these people who sent the news had to detour.In this way, the speed will be much slower.

After reading the secret letter, Zhao Wen sneered, "Hehe, he also tried to transport all the supplies in Henan to the capital, trying to overwhelm me with the large population of Henan.

If I don't have a railway in my hand, and I don't have the food transported from Taiwan, Java and other places, I'm afraid it's really hard for me to deal with this matter.

It's a pity, a pity, all this is just a joke to me. "

Zhao Wen handed the secret letter in his hand to Li Xiaosan, "Save it, and notify the army to move forward at the same time!"

"Get up, you don't have to go back!" Zhao Wen looked at the people standing on the ground.

"Thank you, my lord!" The men and horses thanked each other, and got on their horses again.

Zhao Wen looked at Li Xiaosan again, "Arrange them!"

Li Xiaosan nodded, and then led these people to the back.

After a while, the army moved forward again.

At this time, Ye Bushou sent by Zhao Wen had already reached the front line of the Yellow River defense line.

Outside the military fort where Sun Hai is located, Ye BuShou sent out by Zhao Wen is haunting.

Standing on the top of the city, Sun Hai frowned tightly as he watched Yebushou who kept appearing outside the city.

This time Yebushou is much more powerful than the previous one, no matter in terms of scale or equipment.

No matter how stupid Sun Hai was, he could figure out what was going on.

"My lord, the scale of Ye Bu Shou this time is a bit big. From this morning until now, there have been at least ten waves of Ye Bu Shou outside the city, and every time Ye Bu Shou appeared there were no fewer than a hundred people! A hundred households stood beside Sun Hai and said solemnly.

The rain fell on Sun Hai's helmet, and the moment it touched the helmet, it turned into mist.

Sun Hai was wearing a pointed iron helmet, and the rainwater flowed down the edge of the helmet.

Sun Hai wiped his face to wipe off the mist on his face.

"You're right. I think it might be Zhao Bandit's big team this time. Zhao Bandit, it's not far away!" Sun Hai said worriedly.

Although Sun Hai didn't want to believe it, he had to believe it.After all, these nights outside the city will not be fake.

"My lord, what should we do?" Baihu asked again.

"What else can I do? Find a way to pass this news back and notify the Master Supervisor!" Sun Hai said.

So far, Sun Hai has no good solution, but let people pass the news back and see how Sun Chuanting arranges it.

By afternoon, the rain had stopped.Although the rain had stopped, the sky was still cloudy.It looks like the rain will last for several days.

The army led by Zhao Wen stopped and began to set up camp.

Because of the large number of people, it took a long time to set up the camp, and it was not until dark that all the camps were set up.

Zhao Wen sat in the big tent with a map on the table in front of him.

There was a cup of tea next to the map. Zhao Wen picked up the cup and took a sip.

The steaming hot tea dispelled a lot of cold.

"Arrive at the Yellow River defense line at noon tomorrow, and launch a general attack on the Yellow River defense line the day after tomorrow. Within three days, all the military forts on the Yellow River defense line will be destroyed. Henan will be completely captured within two months."

Zhao Wen clapped his big hand and landed on the map.

……

In the afternoon of the second day, the cavalry led by Song Hu had already passed Jiyuan City.There are still almost two days before Qinyang, where Huaiqing Mansion City is located.

The rain that had stopped began to fall again.

When Song Hu was heading towards Qinyang City, a force of more than 2 soldiers and horses walked out of Qinyang City and headed towards the Yellow River defense line.

These soldiers and horses were exactly Sun Chuanting's [-] troops. Although Sun Chuanting sent someone to notify these soldiers and horses, his speed was very slow because he wanted to avoid Song Hu.

The general who led 2 people was none other than Li Tianhe who fled back from Shanxi with Wu Sheng.

In addition to Li Tianhe, there is also Zhang Taichu, the former Henan General Soldier.

The two led 1 horses respectively, one in front and one behind, and marched towards the Yellow River defense line.

Li Tianhe led 1 horses to walk ahead. He was riding on the horse, watching the rain that started again, and said worriedly: "It would be great if this rain could be heavier. The rain is heavy, and the bandits Zhao marched." The speed will definitely be slow. Although I don’t expect the heavy rain to stop the Zhao thief’s advance, it is always good to delay a little time!"

"Hey, Zhao Bandits are strong in soldiers and horses, I have already experienced the strength of Zhao Bandits when I was in Taiyuan Mansion before.

This time Zhao thief even sent 20 troops, how can this battle be fought?I'm afraid things in Taiyuan will repeat the same mistakes again! "Li Tianhe's face was full of worry.

He didn't believe that he could stop Zhao thief this time at all, and even felt that even if all the soldiers and horses in the world were brought to Henan, they would not be Zhao Wen's opponent.

"Has Yebushou been sent out?" Li Tianhe looked at a thousand households beside him and asked.

This Qianhu nodded, "General, we have already sent out, a total of 1000 people have been dispatched!"

"Not enough, not enough, 1000 people is not enough at all, send another 2000 people. Bandit Zhao is not an ordinary person, and his strength is beyond what you can imagine!" Li Tianhe shouted in a low voice.

"Obey!" Qianhu cupped his fists at Li Tianhe, and hurried to the back.

The light rain kept falling, and the troops led by Li Tianhe lay on the ground slowly like tortoises.

The dilapidated official road was mixed with rainwater, and mud was everywhere.

The soldiers walked forward with a deep kick and a shallow kick.
