Chapter 126: Go West to Squeeze Rebellion (2)

After Dong Zunhui returned to Kaifeng, he immediately contacted Wang Zhengzhong and asked him to transfer the ashes of the fallen soldiers back to Suizhou.

Wang Zhengzhong was shocked when he saw that so many ashes were to be sent back to Suizhou. What a tragic battle! He quickly asked Dong Zunhui about the war in Yedu. When he learned that only Dong Zunhui and Liu Qingyi were spared in Xiaolou, Wang Zhengzhong was lucky and grabbed Dong Zunhui's hand and said, "Brother, you are too strong! The Liao army launched a search. Why do you fight with them? Run away quickly? Why do you take such a big risk for Chen Guan? Now, it's good that someone is promoted and rich, but you are going to fight in the northwest. Is it worth it?!" [bsp;   Dong Zunhui just scratched the back of his head, laughing and not speaking.

Wang Zhengzhong advised him a few times, took out a pair of soft armor from the bag beside him, and stuffed it into Dong Zunhui's arms: "Last month, someone in the Arsenal Department gambled in my gambling house. After losing for three days in a row, he was really unpaid, so he used the soft armor he passed down from his ancestors to pay off his debts. Seeing that he looked dirty, I thought he had taken out some rags to fool me, but he didn't expect that after an expert's appraisal, this soft armor was very strong. Although it could not stop the knife and spear, it was very appropriate to use it to defend against arrows. This time you are going to go to war again. There is nothing to be given to brothers, so I will give you this pair of armor! This time you must be steady. The old lady also sent someone to send a letter to ask you a few days ago!"

They are all their own brothers, so there is no need to see each other. Dong Zunhui untied his coat and put his soft armor inside. He took his mother's letter and quickly opened it to watch. He saw that his mother roughly wrote in the letter:

Now Suizhou is becoming more and more prosperous, and the number of tourists coming and going is increasing. Your father is getting busier and busier, and he has renovated the city. The third brother Yang Guangyi trains soldiers every day, sometimes leading his troops to hunt outside, and always sends people to the mansion to the mansion. Now it is getting colder and you are alone outside, so you must be careful not to catch a cold. The military formation has no eyes, so you must take care of your health and don’t show off when you go. Guiying has sent a lot of newly sewn clothes a few days ago. Her level of girl red is quite good, and she will definitely be a good material for a good wife and mother in the future...

Dong Zunhui felt warm. After he arrived in Yedu, he was busy on the city, and then suffered several injuries. However, he still endured the pain and chased the Liao soldiers. He never wrote a letter to his family along the way. Unexpectedly, his mother was always worried about him and asked someone to deliver a letter to Kaifeng Mansion. He felt a little guilty and quickly brought a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and said while writing: "Second brother, please ask someone to send the letter back to me, and buy some gifts to take it back. As for my injury, and going to the west to quell the chaos, we must keep it confidential. Just say that everything is fine in my grandfather Gao Xingzhou's camp..."

He chatted with Wang Zhengzhong for a few words, then pulled ten soldiers from the recruits who were quietly transferred to Suizhou for training, and left quietly. Anyway, there were constant travelers in Kaifeng Prefecture, and although Dong Zunhui was a little famous, he was far from the point where everyone sent people to follow him. Dong Zunhui was not worried about his whereabouts being exposed.

When he returned to the camp, he found that everyone was packing their clothes lazily and not nervous at all. Dong Zunhui asked in surprise: "Didn't you say that the troops will be sent in the afternoon? Why don't you hurry up and clean up?"

Liu Qingyi, who was in charge of the temporary command, said: "My Lord doesn't know. His Majesty just sent someone to summon Lord Wang Jingchong. Who knows when he will come back? So we may not be able to set off today."

"Your Majesty summoned Lord Wang?" Dong Zunhui repeated in surprise, and shook his head with a smile: "It must be related to the fact that Hou Yi said he would come to Beijing to congratulate him a few days ago. However, even if Zhao Kuangzan and Hou Yi all came to Beijing, we will not be able to cancel this trip. Your Majesty just needs us to understand some actual situation in the west. I guess Lord Wang will come back soon. Everyone should pack up quickly so that they won't be in a hurry. By the way, Yunpeng, come here, you will lead these ten new soldiers to the camp to collect weapons and armor. Anyway, we are ordered to go to the expedition this time, so we can't bring our own weapons, right?!"

As expected by Dong Zunhui, Wang Jingchong came back from the palace within half an hour and immediately ordered the army to go on a war. It turned out that Liu Zhiyuan had already found his health discomfort and was being treated. Although he was ill in bed, he still called Wang Jingchong to instruct: "Yuan Fu (Zhao Kuangzan) is a rough man. I heard that he had already gotten up and came to Beijing, which is not worth worrying. However, Hou Yi was obedient to the court on the surface, but in fact he had long had a second thought and had to be careful. When you arrive in Fengxiang, if Hou Yi has set off for Tokyo, then he will not be investigated; if he is still hesitating and delaying waiting and watching, you will act according to the opportunity and do not need to ask for an order!"

In less than half an hour, Wang Jingchong ordered the entire army to leave the city and go west. This time he marched westward, although the entire army was only 2,000, but it was also impressive. Dong Zunhui's twenty people were like a small wave and were inconspicuous at all. However, Dong Zunhui also made a big name in Yedu not long ago, and he was an officer appointed by the emperor to accompany the army. Although the imperial guards were a little arrogant, they were relatively polite to him.

Soon, Wang Jingchong sent someone to find Dong Zunhui and headed to the central army. Dong Zunhui followed the visitor and soon arrived near a large cart pulled by six horses. After following Tong Bing, the carriage stopped and a sound came from inside, asking Dong Zunhui to sign up.

Although this is somewhat insulting, he is now the General of the Left Guard, and he is just a small battalion commander. Therefore, Dong Zunhui reported his name without being humble and arrogant and walked into the carriage.

As soon as he entered the carriage, Dong Zunhui was shocked and saw that although the carriage was ordinary on the surface, the interior decoration was very luxurious. The carriage was divided into two spaces by a small screen. It might be a bedroom inside. There was a small table outside. On it, in addition to the marching map, there were also gold candlesticks and silver tableware, which shone brightly in the sunlight.

Wang Jingchong was hugging a gorgeous concubine, his right hand was still in her middle robes. Seeing Dong Zunhui in, Wang Jingchong reluctantly pulled his hand out of her arms and told her to wait for him behind. He smiled slightly and said to Dong Zunhui: "The march was very simple, so Daoan laughed!"

"I dare not. There is a unique world in this carriage. I have never seen such exquisite decorations before, which is really eye-opening." Dong Zunhui hurriedly saluted and answered loudly.

Wang Jingchong laughed: "If you see Du Chongwei's carriage, you will not be able to open your eyes. His is much more luxurious than me! Daoan, I will not hide it from you. You have made a lot of fame in Yedu and have also been appreciated by Your Majesty. However, the raid of the Liao army against your orders made Your Majesty very unhappy. As for your position, the army pays attention to seniority. There are four incumbent battalions commanders in the army, so I can't make arrangements. First, let you be wronged as a deputy commander in the first battalion. But don't worry, your holy relatives have not declined! This time, Your Majesty ordered you to follow me to attack, and I hope you can polish your character and continue to make achievements. As long as you achieve military achievements, I will report it truthfully. You can return to the capital at that time. I hope you will say a few good words to me in front of Your Majesty!"

Dong Zunhui hurriedly thanked Wang Jingchong for taking care of him. Soon, seeing that Wang Jingchong was a little tired, he quickly said goodbye.
