Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 228
Zhao Cheng was thinking about how to deal with the old lady.

Accepting all these women... He did have a little bit of a heartbeat.

After all, there are so many rich ladies!
Yingyingyanyan's.

Who can stand this kind of test?

But Zhao Cheng is advocating women to work, and even shouted that women can hold up half the sky.

Then, in a blink of an eye, he took so many concubines by himself.

This is a bit outrageous!
He said he wouldn't drive her away, but he was only dealing with the old lady temporarily. He stabilized the old lady first, and then thought of a moderate solution later.

Neither can these women be forced to death, nor can they be taken seriously.

At this moment, the soldier who reported the letter hurried over. When the news came, Zhao Cheng felt his heart skip a beat, and his eyes went dark.

Liu Fei defected!
Moreover, he defected with the entire Ninth Legion!
This is the first time that this has happened since the establishment of the Crusade Army.

"Zhao Chunfa's army commander only brought a small flag and chased after him?"

The next moment, Zhao Cheng came to his senses and hurriedly asked.

"Yes, Commander!" said the soldier, "The commander of Zhao Chunfa's army led people to patrol the Huaxiao camp to check the checkpoints. He heard a report on the way that Liu Fei had defected with the entire Ninth Army. Chased up."

"Oops! Zhao Chunfa is in danger!"

Zhao Cheng's face was livid.

Zhao Chunfa only brought a small banner man.

Although the Ninth Army under Liu Fei has not yet been reorganized and has a small number of people, it still has a hundred soldiers.

In addition, Zhao Cheng also knew that Zhao Chunfa had trained another [-] militiamen.

Liu Fei is a man who is cruel and decisive.

And Zhao Chunfa dared to bring only ten people to chase Liu Fei with 200 people. In all likelihood, it was because of the brotherhood of Gu Nian, who wanted to persuade Liu Fei.

Liu Fei was blocked, and it is very likely that he will kill him suddenly.

Zhao Cheng's heart beat faster, and the more he thought about it, the more anxious he became.

Liu Fei's defection has already been sentenced to death in Zhao Cheng's heart.

The entire Ninth Army might be finished.

If another accident happened to the loyal Zhao Chunfa...the conscript army would lose two generals at once, and the loss would be too great.

Moreover, it will definitely cause great damage to morale.

"Liu Fei betrayed the commander-in-chief? Impossible! How could Brother Liu Fei betray the commander-in-chief! Let's drink and eat meat together, it's very happy!"

Niu Dali stared at his big eyes, he couldn't believe it, he couldn't accept it.

He stepped forward and grabbed the collar of the messenger soldier, picked him up, and asked with staring eyes:

"Did you frame Brother Liu Fei? Huh? Tell me!"

"Captain Niu, I don't have one!" The soldier also looked aggrieved.

He came to report the letter truthfully!
Bang!
Zhao Cheng kicked Niu Dali on the thigh.

"What time is it! You are still messing around! Quick! Order troops! Gather your troops and go after Liu Fei immediately! If you are late, Zhao Chunfa will die!"

"What? Marshal, are you saying that Liu Fei will kill Zhao Chunfa? This is impossible! We are all brothers..."

Snapped!
Zhao Cheng slapped Niu Dali hard with a backhand slap.

"Bastard! Niu Dali, please be sober! Remember, at any time, you must keep a clear mind and not act out of righteousness. Our conscript army is indeed very powerful now, but we still have many enemies, and the enemy Very cunning.

Anything can happen in the future.You are the most trusted person under my subordinates and my absolute confidant!If even you can't calm down and accept the facts, how can we fight the enemy! "

Zhao Cheng's eyes were red, and he stared at Niu Dali.

Niu Dali froze there.

The next moment, he suddenly realized, turned around and left.

"I'm going to order soldiers!"

But, at this moment, he was extremely cold.

Zhao Cheng immediately sent an order for the heads of all the armies to gather.

After a while, a cavalry galloped out.

It's Niu Dali.

Time was running short, and the brigade had no time to assemble. He only brought one detachment, one hundred cavalry, as the vanguard.

In any case, it is imperative to save Zhao Chunfa first.

Soon, Wang Cai, Zheng Qiang, Gu Er and others arrived one after another, with hurried steps and gloomy faces.

Obviously, they have also received news that Liu Fei has betrayed!

This is not just a big loss, a big scandal, for the crusaders.

For them, it is the most difficult to accept emotionally.

Especially Wang Cai and Zheng Qiang, they have experienced the era of strong military training with Liu Fei, and fought side by side.

Everyone trains and kills enemies together during the day, drinks together at night, smokes Huazi, brags, and imagines the future.

Now, the former comrade-in-arms actually betrayed the general.

"I would rather he die in battle!"

Wang Cai's face was livid.

If Liu Fei dies in battle, they will be sad, but they will also avenge Liu Fei when they die.

Unlike now, Liu Fei actually betrayed the commander-in-chief, which made it extremely difficult for them to accept.

"Comrades, this is the biggest crisis since the establishment of our expeditionary army. The Ninth Army defected, and Zhao Chunfa only brought a small banner of troops to chase after it. It was extremely dangerous.

Because this is a premeditated defection, we must beware that any enemy will take the opportunity to attack us forcefully. "

Zhao Cheng looked serious.

"He dares!"

Zheng Qiang slapped the table heavily.

"Commander, if the enemy dares to attack our strong ground at this time, we promise to kill them all!"

"The enemy may be on the surface or secretly." Zhao Cheng said in a heavy voice, "Now Niu Dali has brought a team to support Zhao Chunfa. However, one team must not have enough people. I need one People, take your legion headquarters, and then take the people from the First Legion, and go south together, the task is to support Zhao Chunfa and hunt down the defected Ninth Legion."

"Master, let me go!"

"Me! Marshal, let's go to the Eighth Army!"

"me!"

As soon as Zhao Cheng finished speaking, Wang Cai, Zheng Qiang and Gu Er rushed to beg for their lives.

Zhao Cheng's eyes swept over the three of them, pacing back and forth, obviously choosing the right candidate.

Finally, his eyes fell on Gu Er.

"Gu Er, this task is entrusted to you!"

"Yes, handsome!"

Gu Er immediately agreed.

He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Marshal, what should we do if the head of Liu Fei's army resists?"

"Shoot on the spot! Everyone in the Ninth Legion, if they dare to resist from the bandits, they will all be shot to death! Judging by the situation, you can strike first." Zhao Cheng's voice was cold.

His face trembled slightly.

Explain how painful it was for him to make this decision.

However, he had to give this order.

The Ninth Legion also came from strong military training, and its combat effectiveness is quite strong.

If he bound the hands and feet of the First Army and the Eighth Army, it would definitely cause a lot of damage.

"Understood, Commander!" Gu Er received the order,
Wang Cai and Zheng Qiang showed frustrated expressions on their faces.

However, they also understood that the commander-in-chief might be concerned that the two of them and Liu Fei had participated in strong military training together and fought side by side.

I am worried that they will catch up, and they will be merciful.

"Marshal, if you let us go, we will definitely not show mercy!" Wang Cai's voice was a little choked up.

To make up your mind to shoot at your comrades who fought side by side in the past... What kind of determination does it need?
"I believe in you!"

Zhao Cheng reached out and patted Wang Cai's shoulder.

Liu Fei's betrayal brought a great test to the expedition team.

Zhao Cheng must deal with it carefully, otherwise, there will be endless troubles.

"Wang Cai, you are now leading the troops of the headquarters to garrison in Huai'an City. You must prevent attacks from the frontier troops in Xuanfu Town. Although that coward, Shen Chen, probably doesn't have the guts.

However, since such a big incident happened to our conscript army, we must prevent them from taking the opportunity to sneak attack.If you find any suspicious actions by the other party, remember, you must strike first.Don't have any worries, hit me hard.

If the conditions are right, take the opportunity to take down Chaigoubao, Zhangjiakou and other cities, and occupy the entire Xuanfu Town. "Zhao Cheng ordered.

"Yes, handsome!"

Wang Cai agreed, and after accepting the order, he turned around and left.

The battle situation is urgent, he must rush to Huai'an City as soon as possible.

"Zheng Qiang, your legion has entered a state of combat readiness, prepare your horses, and be ready to support all places at any time." Zhao Cheng issued another order.

"Yes, handsome!"

Zheng Qiang took the order and turned around to make arrangements.

"The entire territory of the military government has entered a state of combat readiness and imposed a curfew. During the day, except for going to work, everyone is not allowed to go out, let alone gather in private. Once discovered, they will be punished as treason!"

In a short period of time, 10,000+ people have poured into the strong ground, and there are also a large number of gentry.

When the main force of the crusade army was around, Zhao Cheng was naturally not afraid of anything.

All ghosts and monsters can be suppressed.

But now that the main force of the crusade is being sent out, there is endless turmoil, and I am afraid that someone will take the opportunity to make trouble.

Zhao Cheng really wanted to go after Liu Fei himself, and he wanted to ask face to face why Liu Fei defected!
After Zhao Cheng made the arrangements, he felt more at ease.

Liu Fei's defection will cause great losses to the conscript army, but at least the situation is still under control.

It's just that he couldn't understand why Liu Fei defected?
"Could it be that Liu Fei feels that he has been neglected? He is the commander of the Ninth Army Corps! After I came back, I planned to reorganize the military system immediately, and expand the number of Ninth Army Corps to 5000 people, and then to [-] people. Even more than [-] people...why can't you wait?"

Zhao Cheng didn't even know whether to be depressed or happy.

Fortunately, Liu Fei's betrayal was one step earlier.If you wait until the Ninth Legion's expansion is completed before defecting, the loss will be really big.

……

On the rugged land, a group of people and horses galloped at high speed, and the dust was transpiring.

The sweat on Liu Fei's body drenched the mandarin duck jacket, but he didn't dare to stop.

"Brother Liu, this place is already out of Xuanfu Town, and we will be in Weizhou further on, so we don't need to hurry? We can take a rest!"

Fan Yongdou couldn't stand it at first, he was out of breath.

In order to show that he shared joys and sorrows with Liu Fei and completely win Liu Fei over, he chose to start with Liu Fei from Dongcheng Coal Mine and head south all the way.

However, Fan Yongdou obviously underestimated the difficulty of the summer march.

Ever since he came out of Dongcheng Coal Mine, Liu Fei has been urging him all the way.

More than 200 people and [-] horses.

Everyone is two horses and travels lightly.

"No! Can't rest!"

Liu Fei stood on horseback, looking at the way with binoculars.

The ground in the distance is flat, and there is no sign of chasing soldiers.

It's a pity that this generation is a mountain circle composed of short mountains.

The telescope couldn't see very far, it was blocked by the mountain.

Liu Fei tried his best to see if there was dust transpiring in the distant sky.

This is the experience he summed up in the battle of the strong army.

The telescope can see far and clearly. This trick is very useful.

"The surname Zhao is cruel and narrow-minded. Back then, when we were in Huoludun, there was a colleague named Wang Gousheng. Because he usually liked to make jokes with him, as a result, after he became prosperous, he rode his horse. Left the dog trampled to death.

Now, we are betraying him, as far as he is concerned, he will never let us go.Looking at the time, the pursuers must be on their way now, and they may catch up at any time. "

Liu Fei looked away, raised his wrist, looked at the watch on his wrist, and counted the time.

Fan Yongdou was out of breath, watching from the side with a bit of envy.

That watch, fortunately, the supply and marketing cooperatives sell it.It's just expensive.

That telescope is not sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives, and even if you have money, you can't buy it.

Zhao Cheng only equips the officers of the expeditionary army, which are military supplies.

Fan Yongdou once borrowed Zhang Neng's binoculars to use. When he put the binoculars in front of his eyes, he glanced forward and found that a person who was a thousand steps away seemed to be approaching him, which frightened him a lot. Jump.

After getting familiar with it, Zhang Neng and others stopped to introduce the purpose of this telescope, and they were immediately amazed.

With this thing, you can predict the enemy's opportunities on the battlefield... No wonder the conscript army can win every battle.

Relying on these foreign things, strange obscene skills!

"We have too few people. The conscript army now has tens of thousands of horses. If we are a little late and we are caught up, we will be doomed."

Liu Fei was obviously extremely afraid of Zhao Cheng.

No matter what Fan Yongdou said, he just didn't agree to rest in place.

"Everyone, work harder, and let's rest after arriving at the destination!"

Just when Liu Fei was about to put away the binoculars, he suddenly saw a figure flashing on the hillside in the distance, and a group of people turned over the ridge and appeared in sight.

A red flag was waving, and about ten riders came quickly.

Seeing that there were only ten riders, Liu Fei let out a slight breath.

"They're fast! We can't escape!"

After judging the situation, Liu Fei quickly made a judgment.

At the same time, he gave Zhang Neng and the others a bitter look.

When leaving the Dongcheng Coal Mine, in Liu Fei's opinion, he abandoned everything except some gold and silver, and ran away quickly.

If he followed his thinking, no matter how powerful the conscript army was, they would not be able to catch up with them.

However, Zhang Neng and other sub-captains and Xiaoqi officials, etc., received a lot of treasures during the process of being corrupted by Fan Yongdou.

They don't want to throw those treasures away now.

No matter what Liu Fei said, they had to take it with them.

There are also people who are already married, and even their wives have to bring...

So much so that the team was so bloated that Liu Fei was upset when he saw it, and his marching speed was seriously hindered.

Now, at last, the pursuers have arrived.
