Chapter 545 Arrival

Yang Heng and others rode their horses to the city gate. The eunuch Gao Jin and county magistrate Liu Quan had been waiting for a long time.

As soon as Yang Heng and others arrived on their horses, Gao Jin quickly urged the horse and bowed forward to salute Yang Heng.

"National Master, I can ask the national master to take care of him along the way."

"Haha, nothing is wrong. We are all loyal to the country. Don't worry along the way."

The eunuch Gao Jin thanked Yang Heng again, and then glanced at the person behind Yang Heng.

The eyes finally fell on Yang Hengda’s disciple Shouming.

After that, he quickly turned over and dismounted, trotted a few steps, and came to Shouming's horse and fell to his knees on the ground.

"Subor Gao Jin, I have met Your Highness."

Shouming glanced at Gao Jin, then waved his hand and said, "Get up, there is no need to be so polite in the future."

"I thank Your Highness for your grace."

Then the eunuch stood up and got on the horse again.

Next, Yang Heng said goodbye to the county magistrate Liu Quan, and then he took his men out of the city gate and followed the official road to the north.

They were not peaceful along the way. Because the world is in chaos now, there are so many people who come out to rob.

However, each of Yang Heng and his group had extraordinary skills, so the little thieves they encountered were easily dismissed by them.

There is no need to worry about these thieves. What really makes them worry is the patrol troops sent by the pseudo-Song king.

These people are well-trained. If they encounter them, they will not eliminate them all at once, but if one runs out, they will eventually be exposed. At that time, they will not be dozens of people coming, but thousands of troops will be there.

Although it was so dangerous along the way, Yang Heng never took action. Instead, he asked Erya and his several apprentices to take action frequently, allowing them to quickly increase their strength.

In this way, they finally left the territory of Kaifeng Prefecture and temporarily returned to the area controlled by the imperial court.

After arriving here, they breathed a sigh of relief, then found a small inn, rested for a day, and then set off again the next day.

In this way, they came to Huaiqing Prefecture and Yangwu County where the army gathered.

Yang Heng asked the eunuch many times along the way how many people he had gathered.

However, the eunuch hurriedly left the capital after receiving the imperial edict from the court. He could not tell the truth about how many people there were.

However, Yang Heng was not worried. He thought that this time the imperial court would send at least more than 100,000 troops to encircle and suppress the pseudo-Song King. With these troops and his magical powers, Kaifeng should be completely pacified.

But things were much worse than he thought. When Yang Heng and others came to a mountain near the military camp and looked down, their hearts were half-collapsed.

It turned out that there were about 10,000 or 20,000 people scattered under the hills, and it seemed that this should have been pieced together temporarily, and many people could not even match their military uniforms.

Yang Heng smiled bitterly, looked at Jin Chanwen next to him and said, "The court gave me this little defeated general, but asked me to pacify Kaifeng. Isn't this a joke?"

Jin Cicada Wen also smiled bitterly at the people below. If he brought these people to the decisive battle with the pseudo-Song King, wouldn't he hit the stone with an egg?

The eunuch Gao Jin replied with some concern: "Master, although these people are a little short, I think the emperor will definitely give you other decrees."

Yang Heng nodded helplessly: "I hope so."

After saying that, Yang Heng urged his horse to go down the mountain, and the others quickly followed Yang Heng, and the group of them quickly arrived in front of the camp.

When I arrived here, I was immediately stopped by the soldiers guarding the door.

"The people in front of you are dismounting immediately. If you trespass into the military camp, you will be killed without any hesitation."

Yang Heng also went to and from the battlefield several times. Knowing these rules, he quickly turned over and got off the horse.

The others quickly got off the horse with Yang Heng, and followed Yang Heng to the front of the camp.

After Yang Heng took out the golden seal in his arms, he shook it at the soldier and said, "I am the commander to take over the army by the emperor. You should hurry in and report."

The soldier glanced at the golden seal held in Yang Heng's hand, and quickly rolled and crawled in.

Yang Heng had been waiting for a stick of incense and heard a noise inside. Then seven or eight generals trotted to the camp gate.

When these people saw the surprise in Yang Heng's hand, they knew that the person in front of them was their coach, so they knelt down on the ground and bowed upwards.

"The last general has met the Grand Marshal."

Yang Heng nodded, and then dragged the golden seal into the camp without replying.

Gao Jin, Erya and others hurriedly followed Yang Heng into the military camp. Only then did the seven or eight generals dare to stand up and follow them to the central army tent.

After entering the tent, Yang Heng looked inside and saw a tiger-skin chair in the middle, and a table in front of him, with various flags on it.

So Yang Heng was not polite, walked forward and sat on the tiger-skin chair.

Jin Chanwen and Erya quickly moved forward, standing next to Yang Heng, one left and one right, Shouming and others stood in the hatchback.

And the seven or eight generals could only stand at the bottom of the team at this time.

Only the eunuch Gao Jin was a little at a loss.

Yang Heng smiled and ordered to the lower side, saying, "Hurry up and prepare a chair for Eunuch Gao and put it in the lower side."

A general standing below was very clever. He knew that he was a military eunuch when he saw Gao Jin's dress, so he didn't dare to neglect it. Soon he moved a chair from outside and placed it next to Yang Hengdeshuai's case.

Gao Jin then breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to Yang Heng as a thank you, and then sat there without saying a word.

Yang Heng sat down after the commander's case, looked down, and asked: "Which general tells me, how many people are there in total? How long has it been trained? Can you go to the battle?"

Yang Heng asked all the generals below. They looked at each other, and the last older man stood up helplessly and bowed to Yang Heng.

"Report to the general, there are more than 22,000 people in the military camp. These soldiers were drawn from the soldiers guarding the city. The training is not very rigorous and the combat power is worrying."

Yang Heng had no hope for the soldiers in this army, but he was still a little sad after listening to the report.

What does the Emperor Shunde mean? Is he going to die? Or is he let himself quell the rebellion?

The older general knew what he was thinking when he received Yang Heng's frown, so he quickly took out a receipt from his arms.

"Master, the Ministry of War has sent an order to let the Master rest here for a month, and at the same time, summon some more people from the nearby people, and then march towards Kaifeng."

After saying that, the general quickly stepped forward a few steps, and before calculating the case, he held up the receipt high.

Erya quickly stepped forward and took the receipt over and sent it to Yang Hengde.

Yang Heng opened it and looked at it. It was indeed the military order of the court.

It turned out that the court had pressed the gourd and its military strength was already a little short of its limit. This time, the 20,000 troops assigned to Yang Heng were also collected with all his strength.

These people are already the limit that the imperial court can mobilize. If people mobilize again, many cities will no longer have the defensive power.

Therefore, the Ministry of War ordered Yang Heng to recruit soldiers on the spot, and at the same time allocated another sum of money to Yang Heng as the cost of recruiting troops.

After reading it, Yang Heng threw the receipt on the table, closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then said to Gao Jin beside him: "Eunuch Gao, the time given by the imperial court is relatively urgent. If we want to gather all the troops in a short time and after a certain amount of training, then we will be busy next time."

"When our family came, our ancestors had already passed down the word. At this moment, our family only brought a pair of eyes and ears, and we wouldn't care about the rest."

After hearing this, Yang Heng nodded. It seemed that it was the old eunuch next to Emperor Shunde. He was afraid that Gao Jin would interfere in his actions, so he specifically told him.

But this is also good, so that the eunuch can make random suggestions and cause trouble for himself.

Therefore, Yang Heng nodded with satisfaction, then looked at the generals below and said, "I am a new man and I don't know the names and official positions of the generals. Now you will introduce them one by one."

After hearing Yang Heng's order, the general who spoke first immediately bowed forward and said, "The last general, deputy general Han Ming."

Then others began to introduce it.

These people are: Guerrilla Guo Yun, Guerrilla Wang Xue, Guerrilla Feng Hua, Deputy General Liu Yue, Guerrilla Xue Feng, Guerrilla Tang Kai, Guerrilla Wang Yu.

They were led by two generals, namely Han Ming and deputy general Liu Yue.

Yang Heng nodded. Although the people sent by the court this time were remnants and defeated soldiers, the leaders were not bad.

Especially although the deputy general Liu Yue looked taciturn, Yang Heng found that he had a bloody energy soaring into the sky, and he should be a powerful general on the battlefield.

Yang Heng thought for a while, but didn't know what to do next, so he glanced at the golden cicada pattern next to him.

A smile appeared at the corner of Jinchanwen's mouth, and then he leaned down gently and said a few words in Yang Heng's ear.

After hearing this, Yang Heng nodded repeatedly, then he slapped the handsome desk and sent an order to the bottom: "If the generals go back, they will train soldiers diligently, and strive to train these 20,000 people into elites in this month."

Then Yang Heng said to Shouming and his disciples below: "You guys each receive 10,000 taels of silver, and then go to recruit soldiers everywhere. You can recruit as much as you can, but you will definitely return to the military camp in half a month to settle the account with me."

The reason why Yang Heng sent these inexperienced Lengtouqing to recruit soldiers was that he followed the meaning of Jin Cicada Wire. What Jin Cicada Wire thought was that he had a force of complete loyalty to Yang Heng in this military camp.

In this way, Yang Heng will be much more convenient in the future. Otherwise, who would know whether the seven or eight generals sincerely surrendered to Yang Heng.
