The world of rebirth

After merging with the grain cart, Ning Yunjin got into the carriage without staying outside to blow the wind.His official official position this time should be called grain and grass transportation supervisor, and he is responsible for supervising the itinerary and dates along the way.

With the prince accompanying him, the battle should not be too shabby.Wen Zhen directly transferred [-] cavalry and [-] infantry as guards, including a musketeer team.The mission of this troop is to protect Hong Ming's safety, besides pressing food.

And the person leading this troop is Ning Yunjin's acquaintance, Mu Danshu.

Mu Danshu, the former little fat man, came back from the last war. Not only did he grow taller, but the fat on his body also turned into muscles. He looked like an iron tower. Ning Yunjin almost couldn't recognize the smile.

He is Ning Yunting's eldest brother-in-law, so the two can be regarded as relatives by marriage.From this point alone, it can be seen that Wen Zhen's arrangement is for the convenience of himself. After all, if he is a veteran of the army, it will be much more difficult to do things by himself.

From Beijing to Guihua City, it is about five or six hundred kilometers. If it is in modern society, it will take eight hours. If it is a fast horse, it will only take four or five days.However, the speed of escorting the food like them is astonishingly slow. It is considered fast if they can walk [-] kilometers a day. It will take at least a month for this batch of food to be transported to naturalization.

Ning Yunjin had led soldiers before, so naturally he wouldn't just slap his head and make random decisions. He planned to use the limit speed from Beijing to Datong, and asked to march at least [-] kilometers a day. After Datong, he changed to [-] kilometers a day.

Mu Danshu was a little embarrassed by his request. After all, the soldiers were fine and they were used to this kind of march, but those civilians would definitely not be able to bear it.

Ning Yunjin had no choice but to analyze, "From Beijing to Datong, there are well-repaired official roads, and there is no fear of attack. We should work hard to catch up. We only need one or two for each batch of civilians. God, and then hurry to the previous county annals to hire people again. When we leave Datong, the speed will definitely not be so fast, and the closer we are to naturalization, the easier it is for us to be attacked by big merchants. In order to transport this batch of grain as soon as possible, we just Can bring out the speed."

Hearing what he said, Mu Danshu also thought it was reasonable, and he joked, "I only think of you as a civil servant with no power to restrain a chicken, but I didn't expect that you are quite good at leading troops to defeat you!"

Ning Yunjin chuckled and said, "We've read a few military books too! Sun Tzu's article on military struggles has already said that it's not advisable to be too aggressive."

"I can't say it to you." Mu Danshu hates reading even more than Ning Yunting. He has always had a headache when talking about reading since he was a child, so he quickly waved his hands and said, "It's up to you if you think it's okay."

After the two agreed, they showed the agreed marching plan to Hong Ming for review.

Hong Ming didn't know this, although he felt that the speed was a bit slow, but seeing that the two people agreed with this plan, he nodded in agreement.Although he didn't understand a lot of things, he kept in mind what Wen Zhen told him, the most important thing for a superior is to know people and make good use of them, and the most taboo thing is to pretend to understand, so he didn't meddle indiscriminately.

Facts have proved that Ning Yunjin's plan is very good. Although the schedule of [-] kilometers a day is a bit tight, it is not impossible to achieve.With the mascot of the prince here, although they change a group of civilians every one or two days, the officials wherever they pass are very cooperative, and even cleverly inquired about their route, often borrowing orders from others. When it arrives, the civilian husband is ready and can take it on the road directly.

After rushing all the way to Datong, Ning Yunjin arranged for everyone to rest on the spot for half a day. After all, except for the cavalry who were a little easier on such a trip, everyone was exhausted.

Counting that they have been out for half a month, Ning Yunjin finally received his first letter from home on this day.

The letter came with the soldier who sent the battle report ahead, and the soldier smiled ambiguously when he handed him two envelopes, one thick and one thin.

Ning Yunjin looked at the two envelopes in bewilderment, the thick one he just glanced at and recognized it was his father's handwriting, needless to say it was from home.

When he picked up the thin envelope, he suddenly became black.

It turned out that the envelope was not paper, but white silk, even after such a long journey, it still had a faint scent of aromatherapy.

Ning Yunjin looked at the envelope in his hand, it was like a hot potato, no wonder the soldier smiled so ambiguously.

This method of sending letters comes from an allusion in the clan. There was once a man and a woman who were in love. Because the woman could not write love poems, they sent someone to send a white silk Supa to their lover.After her lover got that Fang Supa, he was tired, looking at it horizontally, and looking at it directly, it was also silk.Afterwards, this story was compiled into a folk song, Song Day, Horizontal Yesi (Thinking) and Vertical Yesi (Thinking), who knows such thoughts?

After this story spread, many girls and boys in the clan used this cryptic method to tell their lovesickness.

Ning Yunjin used his toes to figure out who sent it. Although he felt as if ten cats were scratching in his heart, wanting to know what the person wrote, he still put it aside with an embarrassing face, and opened it first. Opened the letter from the Ning family.

The reason why the letter from the Ning family is thick is that the brothers, sisters, old lady, and even Ning Qiaoping wrote a few pieces of paper each. Although it was nothing more than greetings about his health and whether he had fully recovered from his injuries, the care of the family members was still there. This made Ning Yunjin very happy.

And Ning Jingxian's letter was naturally the thickest, in addition to those words of concern, he also told him some news in Beijing.The letter was not very detailed, but only briefly mentioned some, but just a few words, outlined the current situation in the capital's officialdom for Ning Yunjin.

As Ning Jingxian guessed, Wen Zhen did attack Zuo Shi's family and Anping's family at the same time, this time he targeted Zuo Shi's family and Anping Baichuan respectively.The cause of the incident was that Pinglin, a censor under Anping Baichuan, accepted 10 taels of bribes from salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, and he withheld nearly 20 taels of taxes from Chongwenmen.

Zuo Shipinglin, as the head of the state and the secretary of the household department, and his father who is the chief assistant of the cabinet, has never lacked in filial piety. In addition, he is not low-key. In fact, anyone who knows him knows that he It must have been more than a little money.

The strange thing about this is that how dare a little censor publicly participate in his book!

But as soon as the Censor's resume of Shen Ren was called out, everyone realized it!This person was single-handedly picked up by Anping Baichuan, and he has been trained as a confidant.Since it was a matter between the two ex-heads of the state, although it attracted a lot of attention, no one would think that Zuo Shipinglin would be brought down by such a thing.

But for Zuo Shipinglin, this was really a matter of face, and within three days he re-attached the Anping Baichuan book.

The Anping family is relatively low-key among the five families, especially since Anping Baichuan, the head of the family, has acted extra cautiously since he secured the position of Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Logically speaking, it is difficult to find his faults.

It was Zuo Shiping and Lin Que who participated in giving great gifts to Shao Zhengqihe and Li Lianzhu, and he even wrote down what the gifts were.

This involves a case that annoyed Wen Zhen back then!Shao Zhengqi and Li Lianzhu were in charge of divination for his two successors. Why did Anping Baichuan give these two people a big gift? You can guess the reason just by thinking about it.

Seeing that the affairs of the two former kings became more and more troublesome, and even implicated himself, Wen Zhen took advantage of his anger to hit the two with [-] slaps each. .

Ning Jingxian did not do any analysis on this matter, but Ning Yunjin could see that there must be Wen Zhen's handwriting in it. After all, one only needs to see who has the greatest interests in the end to know who is behind the scenes. Needless to say, Only Wenzhen.

As the crown prince and the second prince grew older, more and more people suspected to be around them.It is not easy for a prince to leave the palace, so their spokespersons outside are naturally these two people.In the past few years, they have developed a lot of cronies, gradually growing the Princeling Party and the Second Princeling Party, forming a faint force, fighting each other in the court.

Ning Yunjin was not surprised that Wen Zhen would choose to warn the two of them before the start of the war. If it was replaced by him in that position, it is obviously not yet [-] years old, and he is young and strong, and there are already people. Thinking about his own position for his son, I'm afraid he would have been upset a long time ago.

If it was normal, they might be allowed to continue to toss and grind, as a sharpening stone to temper their sons, but Wenzhen is about to go on a personal conquest, if they don't kill their arrogance, how dare they leave Beijing so easily! ?

After reading his father's letter, Ning Yunjin hesitated, but chose to open the one sent by Wen Zhen.There are only two pages in the letter, one page is a few virtual and solid arrows drawn with a Chinese ink brush, and the starting point of each arrow is to write a place name, and the solid arrow in the middle happens to be naturalization.

Although Wen Zhen did not specify the content, Ning Yunjin immediately understood that this was the real plan for dispatching troops.Except for the naturalization in the middle, the solid arrow on the left is Ningxia, the dotted line is Xi'an, the solid arrow on the left is Ningguta, and the dotted line is Shengjing.

Really bold, don't you worry that this letter will be intercepted! ?Ning Yunjin couldn't help but rolled his eyes, then lit the fire pocket and burned the paper.

After dealing with that piece of paper, Ning Yunjin went to look at the other page with words written on it. There was not much content on it. Wen Zhen wrote that he would personally recruit by the end of next month, and mentioned that the previous batch of grain transport teams were in The attack near Alxa caused heavy losses. Dashang is now seriously short of food and will definitely make preparations for this batch of food and ask him to pay more attention to safety.

Ning Yunjin stared at the piece of paper in a daze. Wenzhen knew his abilities. Even if he was in danger, he would not be able to run away if he wanted to. There is only one situation where he needs to pay attention to safety, and that is to fight to the death. When protecting the prince.

Their group of food transportation team is twice as many as the previous guards, and there is a prince accompanying them, so it must have attracted much attention.If the people from the big merchants really want to come, they will definitely send troops.

After all, the prince is the leader of the group, and he is a minister. If something happens, the first thing to do is to protect Hongming to the death.Wen Zhen asked himself to pay more attention to safety, didn't he put the safety of the prince in his own hands?

He licked his lips, his eyes dimmed, he really believed in himself!He was not afraid that he would take the opportunity to kill the prince! ?

As soon as the letter was put away, Qin Ming's voice came from outside the tent, "My lord, Director Gao is here."

The person who came was Gao Ke, the prince only took him as a personal eunuch when he went out this time.As soon as he saw Ning Yunjin, he said anxiously, "Lord Ning, His Royal Highness, Doufunao, please go over and discuss something."

Ning Yunjin glanced at him, saw that his expression was a little uneasy, and immediately understood a thing or two in his heart. Since he had received all these contents, Hongming naturally had a lot of them, let alone the news of Zuo Shipinglin's accident What would make his prince brother think in his heart, just the imminent crisis would make him worry more than ever!

When he followed Gao Ke into the prince's tent, Hong Ming was anxiously pacing back and forth holding a piece of paper.

"Ning Yunjin, are you here? Come on, tell me, what should we do?" Hong Ming said and stuffed the paper into his hand.

Ning Yunjin unfolded the paper unhurriedly, and found that it was actually an emergency military report.It was written that traces of large merchant cavalry had been seen near Ulancha and Baotou, and it was even mentioned that Meng or made a bold statement that he would capture Prince Daxia.

The military newspaper detailed the current distribution of Mongolian troops. They have already occupied the Urad Banner. Except for [-] of the [-] troops stationed there, the rest are divided into two and disappeared.According to their marching route, it is speculated that some of them may be planning to attack Wuyuan County and some of them are preparing to attack Guyang County.

Guyang County is very close to naturalization, and it only takes less than a day to run fast.If they deliberately want to ambush this slow-moving food transport team, it is not impossible.

From leaving Datong to naturalizing, there is no decent city, and there is no pass to defend against cavalry, which means that leaving Datong, Ning Yunjin and the others will be exposed to danger.

Hong Ming put on a fierce face, and forced himself to be calm: "What do you think?"

Ning Yunjin glanced at this pretending younger brother, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.After all, he was still a child who had never experienced war, and he panicked when he heard that he might face an army of [-].

"His Royal Highness, I have an idea."

Hong Ming hurriedly said, "Let's listen."

They only brought a pair of maps with them, and they were inside the prince's camp, Ning Yunjin pointed to the map on the wall and said, "There are usually two ways to go to Guihua, and for convenience, they usually choose to go directly to Guihua via Liangcheng County. If you are riding, you will first detour through Wulanchabu, and then go to Guihua.”

Ever since he learned of the military newspaper in his hand, Hong Ming has been thinking about the map.You don't need to look at him to know that Liangcheng County is surrounded by mountains and the terrain is complicated. Although it is a straight line distance from the map, if you walk straight, it may not be faster than detouring Ulanchabu. After all, they have brought so much luggage.

Their original plan was to go from Liangcheng. After all, compared to Ulanchabu, which is sparsely populated, it is more convenient to recruit people in Liangcheng.

"You mean we go to Wulanchabu instead?"

Ning Yunjin shook his head and said, "No, what I mean is to withdraw the prince's guard of honor and divide them into two groups. In this way, the other party will not be able to figure out the reality, and even if they want to ambush, they will have to divide their troops again."

Hong Ming hesitated immediately, "We originally had [-] soldiers and horses. If we still divide the troops, how can we deal with the cavalry of the big merchants?"

"His Royal Highness, you can't count in this way when you are fighting. From ancient times to the present, I don't know how many wars have been won with less!" Ning Yunjin pointed to the Liangcheng County Road on the map, "This place is surrounded by mountains. Walking along the mountain road, although the speed of travel will be slower, it will also eliminate the advantage of the opponent's cavalry. We have luggage and they don't have it. Once we meet, we just need to stick to the danger and light the smoke to wait for rescue."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hong Ming frowned. Although Hong Ming had never fought a war, he had also learned the art of war. This method sounds good, but if the rescue fails or the position cannot be defended, he will become a besieged lone army , I feel that this is a helpless move.

Ning Yunjin glanced at his expression, smiled secretly, and then pointed to Wulanchabu's position and said, "If you make a detour here, you can join the garrison here, and ask them to assist the general in escorting the food to naturalization. There is a large army escorting here, and those who are large merchants dare not act rashly."

After listening to Ning Yunjin's analysis, Hong Ming fell into deep thought. He asked a few more questions about "how to divide the army" and "how should I hide my whereabouts", and then said, "you have to think about it carefully."

When Ning Yunjin got out of the camp, he couldn't help but roll his eyes. He didn't believe that Hong Ming could come up with a better way. If he wanted to complete this task, he would probably have to divide his troops in the end.Time was running out, so he went directly to Mu Danshu's camp to discuss the division of troops.

Naturally, it is impossible for the prince to go out without a counselor. After he left, Hong Ming called Gao Ke and Shen Lu Gong in.

Although Shen Lugong was affected by Chen Liyan's incident, he had followed the crown prince for many years and had no credit or hard work. The Shen family was also considered a victim, so he did not lose his favor.

The Shen family also fought with the Taizu. Although Shen Lugong's generation had never been on the battlefield, they knew everything they should know.After listening to the crown prince's statement, he pondered for a moment, then said, "His Royal Highness, I have to say that Mr. Ning's method is the best! Unless you give up this errand, you will have to go to naturalization no matter what! "How is it possible to let go." Hong Ming slapped the table angrily, "There are so many eyes staring at it, if you give up, where will you put your lonely face. "

Shen Lugong naturally supported him to continue to complete this errand, he rolled his eyes, "I want to tell you that Master Ning's other ideas are good, but it is not appropriate to put away the crown prince's guard of honor."

He paused, and then said, "After all, everyone in the world knows that His Royal Highness, you are the supervisor of the army, or that you put away the guard of honor for the eldest son, and you seem to be afraid of the big businessman. Why don't you simply put the guard of honor away?" Divided into two, you and Master Ning are about the same age and stature, if you let him be you, people who are not close to you will definitely not be able to find out, so that you can deceive people."

"Let him pretend to be lonely..." Hong Ming hesitated.

Shen Lugong hurriedly said, "Naturally, there must be special practices in special times, even the emperor will understand. False and real, real and false, are just in line with the art of war."

In this room, their two masters and servants have just finished discussing, and Ning Yunjin and Mu Danshu have almost studied how to allocate soldiers and horses.

On the way to Liangcheng, there are [-] cavalry and [-] infantry, and on the way to Wulanchabu, there are [-] cavalry and [-] infantry.Two-thirds of the supplies, food and grass will be handed over to Liangcheng Road. After all, their speed is slow, and they can rely on these materials to hold on in case of danger.The other third was distributed to the other road. They moved fast, and they brought too much luggage, which became a drag instead.

As Ning Yunjin expected, Hong Ming really chose to go to Wulanchabu. After all, as long as he arrived there, he would be in the army and think of this, which sounds much safer.The crown prince has his own leader of the soldiers, so naturally he doesn't have to worry about leading the troops, so he and Mu Danshu had no choice but to go to Liangcheng.

The next day, the group of them prepared to go from Datong, and after traveling ten miles, the army was divided into two, with a prince's guard of honor on each side, and they marched towards different directions.

Everything was kept simple on this trip, and Hong Ming didn't bring all the guards of honor with him.However, the canopy, missionary flag, warning flag, letter flag, crimson flag, five-color dragon flag, etc. are all the same, and there are spares, just take it out as a set.

Only the prince's car was specially customized, and it was difficult to copy it overnight.In the end, we had to put this car in Datong, and then urgently requisitioned two luxurious carriages from the Datong garrison, and then remodeled it.

A gold-painted copper lotus petal roulette is added to the center of the wheel, and the left and right sides of the axle head are tied with iron bars and bound with a gold-painted copper faucet core. .

Ning Yunjin was lying on the soft lotus seat, looking at the autumn-colored curtains or colored threads in the carriage, and smelling the intoxicating incense. Even though he was sitting in the imitation prince's carriage, he still felt a sense of euphoria.

"Originally, this is the feeling of being a prince!"

Mu Danshu sat in the same car with him, and was about to discuss meeting the enemy owl, so he couldn't help but rolled his eyes at him, "You should be more careful!"

"Aren't you the only one here?" Ning Yunjin said with a grin, "Could it be that you will report on me to the emperor."

"I really don't need to report on you." Mu Danshu said angrily, "I'm just afraid that you will die and return to Beijing! Someone deliberately spread the news in Datong, saying that the crown prince left from Liangshan. We are so slow, There are many things, and the possibility of encountering the enemy is the greatest.”

"Cut, can you let me enjoy it for a while, don't mention such a horrible thing." Ning Yunjin said helplessly, "You are really boring."

"Aren't I in a hurry!" Mu Danshu was really speechless at his non-nervous behavior.

"Go to the latrine in a hurry, and I didn't stop you." Ning Yunjin squinted his eyes and said comfortably, "Besides, if Na Meng dares to come, we will find a way to eat him. After running hard for a long time Hey, I don't want to just waste food, I have to go with some military exploits."

Mu Danshu was not angry even after being teased by him, he was also not afraid of things, his eyes widened, and he said in surprise, "You still have such thoughts, tell me what to do!" He slapped his thigh violently He said, "Then why did you send the prince away, so that we are forced to divide our troops?"

Ning Yunjin made a smirk, "As long as I think that we don't have to fight to protect the prince, I will feel refreshed."

"Treacherous enough!" Mu Danshu suddenly realized.After all, Mao Deng won't lose his head if he loses food and grass, but if he loses the crown prince, he will be dead!
