Dressed as Tang Bohu

The [-] troops galloped all the way day and night, and within seven days, half of the journey was over.

The closer to the northwest, the drier and colder the temperature.Tang Ziwei wore a brown cloak and was riding on the horse, his cheeks were flushed red by the bitter wind.Xu Xingfeng followed right behind him, and the distance between the two of them was within the distance of two horses.

But Zhang Yong, the biggest of the three, was nowhere to be seen. Unable to hold on, he fell across the small carriage early and fell far behind.

At noon, the sun was covered by thick clouds, and it was gray all around.Tang Ziwei ordered the army to stop and rest on the spot for half an hour.

The well-trained soldiers acted immediately, lighting a fire and distributing dry food.Xu Xingfeng also dismounted from his horse, and together with Tang Ziwei walked to the camp of several vanguard soldiers.

"General Tang, Captain Xu, drink some warm water. The weather is too cold. I'll ask the people below to pack hot water into their pouches and put them under their clothes for a while to keep out the cold."

"En." Tang Ziwei rubbed his hands together, and put the warm water bag on his face to warm him up.But quickly put it down again, opened the stopper and took a sip, then handed it to Xu Xingfeng beside him.

Xu Xingfeng kept squinting at him, took the water bag and took a big gulp, then stuffed the water bag back into his hand with puffed cheeks, "Take it and cover it."

Tang Ziwei didn't refuse, and put the water bag on his cheek to relieve the frozen skin.

The guard at the side seemed to remember something, and greeted a soldier not far away, and soon, the other party brought two long fur-like things.

"The fox that the general killed two days ago has been dealt with." The guard showed the fur over.

Tang Ziwei picked up one of them and said hoarsely, "I'm sorry."

"Don't dare, dare not." The guard waved his hands again and again, watching Tang Ziwei wrap the palm-wide fur around his neck twice, burying half of his face in the soft fur, and bent his eyes in satisfaction .

"With this fox fur to block the cold wind, my throat feels better." Tang Ziwei squeezed the soft fur around his neck, and handed the remaining one to Xu Xingfeng, "You can wear it too."

Xu Xingfeng raised his eyebrows, glanced at the fur with disdain, and said proudly: "I have led the army for eight years, and I have never needed such things. General, let Master Zhang use it!"

"He's in the car, how can he use it?"

Tang Zi was afraid to see that Xu Xingfeng's nose was red, he clearly didn't adapt to the environment in the northwest, but he still kept his mouth shut.He shook his head helplessly, took a step closer and put the fox fur on Xu Xingfeng's neck, and tied it neatly.

Xu Xingfeng was stunned on the ground, his face turned red, and when he realized it, he quickly raised his hand to tear off the fox fur scarf, and said solemnly: "The soldiers are all rushing in the cold wind calmly, as their captain, I will never let it go without my own enjoyment." The reason why soldiers don't care!"

Tang Ziwei held him down, and said calmly: "A general is what the army wants. Only when you stand upright at the front can they have confidence in their hearts; if you go forward indomitably, they can be invincible. If you two armies confront each other Wouldn't it be ridiculous to sneeze suddenly at this time?"

"...you scholars, really, I can't say no to you." Xu Xingfeng curled his lips, after all, he didn't take off the fur around his neck.

After these days of traveling, although Xu Xingfeng looked down on scholars from the bottom of his heart, he was afraid of Tang Zi, but he also changed his mind.At least this person is not squeamish, and he doesn't have the stinky airs of those civil servants. He has been marching with the army all the way and can't find any faults.

Xu Xingfeng didn't expect the vanguard and brave general who was airborne to be so powerful, and he would be thankful if it didn't prevent him from getting a share of the credit for countering the rebellion.

Tang Ziwei is well aware of this.

But he also knew that Xu Xingfeng was destined not to get the credit for suppressing the rebellion, and Tang Ziwei didn't come here for this.

The rebellion provoked by the king of Anhua and the commander of the capital, He Jin, was nothing more than a farce. There were no more than [-] soldiers and no food left. With such a group of troops, we can see how long they can survive.

When they were defeated, those soldiers and horses fell into Tang Ziwei's hands. On the surface they were prisoners, but secretly they could be recruited as King Ning's subordinates.As for the imperial court's [-] troops, the right to mobilize is still in Tang Ziwei's hands.

At this time, Liu Jin had not been executed yet, and the emperor ignored the government. All he had to do was join forces with King Ning's three guards, capture a few cities between the northwest and Nanchang, hoard food and soldiers, and use the name of the Qing emperor to go straight to the capital!

Tang Ziwei called this strategy a strategy of borrowing soldiers, and the most important part of it was how to "borrow" the soldiers of the court to the end.

……

After resting, the army moved on.

Tang Ziwei and Xu Xingfeng were still leading the way at the forefront, and the soldiers who explored the way would send back news every once in a while.As the distance to Ningxia got closer, Zhang Yong also got out of the carriage and rode behind Tang Ziwei.

Xu Xingfeng saw that he was half-dead along the way, and now he was coming out alive and ready to claim credit as soon as he arrived in Ningxia, so he immediately rolled his eyes.Every time he looked at Zhang Yong with disdain, the latter couldn't help but swell his veins and wanted to wring him off and beat him up.

At any rate, it was frightened by Tang Ziwei's presence and heavy responsibilities, so they managed to live in peace.

In mid-November, the army had entered Shaanxi for two days, and the rice fields along the way were frosted.

It was about the end of the day, and the rare warm sun in winter illuminated the outline of the distance, and a building-like thing could be vaguely seen on the distant horizon.What is more conspicuous than that is a group of soldiers in Ming military uniforms from far to near.

When I got closer and asked, the leader was Qiu Yue (Yue), a guerrilla general in Ningxia.Half a month ago, under the order of Cao Xiong, the general soldier of Shaanxi, he rushed to suppress the rebellion together with Yang Ying, the county magistrate of Ningxia.

Now that the rebels have been suppressed, An Huani, Zhu Zhiyu and others have all been captured, and the matter has been satisfactorily resolved.Qiu Yue brought people out this time because he wanted to tell Tang Ziwei and his party the news.

It's a little embarrassing to say, a hundred thousand troops came from the capital day and night for more than half a month, but everything ended. Not to mention 10 people working in vain, the cost is not small.Xu Xingfeng's expression darkened immediately, his displeasure was on his face, and he wished that Zhu Zhiyu could fight for a little longer.

Tang Ziwei had expected it a long time ago, but he didn't seem too surprised. He only asked Qiu Yue to take them to the place where Zhu Zhixiu was being held, so that the prisoners could be escorted back to Beijing.

So the imperial court's [-] troops marched into Ningxia City. Yang Ying wanted to hold a banquet with wine, but Tang Ziwei refused.In the temporary inn, Tang Ziwei, Zhang Yong, and Xu Xingfeng ordered a table of food and wine in the backyard.The sun had already set in the west, and the three of them ate and drank, and soon there was a hint of alcohol.

Xu Xingfeng frowned and drank, pounded the empty cup on the table, and said angrily: "This An Huani is too useless! I waited for half a month, but I didn't even catch a tail. It's really embarrassing!"

"Then what can I do, the credit has been taken away by the chief soldier of Laoshizi, I can't stay in this ghost place, why don't I go back to Beijing earlier, I ran around, and the emperor will give me some rewards." Zhang Yong said with a grim face.

Zhang Yong's words aroused Xu Xingfeng's dissatisfaction, he pulled the corner of his mouth, raised his eyes from the corner of his eyes, and said slightly mockingly:

"Are you rewarded for nothing? If it weren't for you, the superintendent, who can't even ride a horse, we would have arrived in Ningxia long ago. How could that Qiu Yue interfere!"

Zhang Yongmeng slapped the table, angrily pointed at Xu Xingfeng and shouted: "You also know that I am the supervisor! Don't think that you are so great as a captain. Our family puts the overall situation first, so we are not afraid of you!"

"Enough!" Tang Ziwei grabbed Xu Xingfeng who was about to stand up, with such strength that Xu Xingfeng couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

Tang Ziwei raised his eyes to look at Xu Xingfeng and said, "Are you very angry? Okay, I'm also in the middle of the fire, why don't we have a fight to vent the fire, don't keep playing that lip service."

Xu Xingfeng was taken aback for another moment, a strange feeling rose in his heart, which actually calmed down his anger a lot.He looked Tang Ziwei up and down, and laughed out of his tense face.

"You?" Xu Xingfeng shook his head, although he didn't intend to, but his words naturally brought out a sense of pride, "I won't fight with you, if I break you, I will be executed as a criminal."

"Don't underestimate me." Tang Ziwei narrowed his eyes and reminded him.

After hearing this, Xu Xingfeng only felt that he had hurt his self-esteem as a scholar.Even Zhang Yong at the side felt that Tang Ziwei was making provocative words to save him from the siege, and was thinking about how to resolve the current situation, when he saw Tang Ziwei stood up without warning, and punched him without any fanfare. On Xu Xingfeng's profile!

"hiss!"

Xu Xingfeng staggered two steps back, raised his head abruptly, his eyes were filled with anger caused by the pain.

"You really want to fight me?!"

"Otherwise, what do you think was that punch just now?" Tang Ziwei provoked him calmly.

The expression on Xu Xingfeng's eyebrows and eyes became serious, "Since there is no worry about suppressing the rebellion, I will seriously teach you. The generals we are waiting for on the battlefield are not as simple as you imagined!"

Tang Zi was afraid to say nothing, flicked his right hand twice, stomped his foot, and rushed straight towards Xu Xingfeng like an arrow from the string!
