After a banquet, Chen Xi and Huang Ke did not communicate much useful information.

The two of them were not equal in terms of obtaining intelligence, which was basically a talk... Huang Ke seemed too rigid and pedantic in many things, and did not compromise on the Yansui military power, so naturally there was no talk.

Chen Xi returned to Luotiao's inn and found that the people who came to give gifts were bustling, so he had to go in through the back door. When he arrived at the hall, he saw that the gifts sent by local officials and military generals in Yansui were almost full of the front yard.

"Sir, there are too many people coming to give gifts. Bei Zhi tried to stop him, but he couldn't stop him!"

Jing Yue understands those who come to give gifts very well... As the head coach of the rebellion this time, Chen Xi is very popular. If you want to get benefits from Chen Xi, you must naturally flatter him first.

Chen Xi asked, "Can the gift list be listed?"

Jing Yue said: "Everything has been listed, I wonder if you want it now?"

"What should I do?"

Chen Xi shouted angrily: "Of course, according to the gift list, we returned the gifts from each family. The official can now be said to be targeted by the public. The Ningxia rebellion has been quelled. What is the meaning of receiving gifts now? If those who give gifts do not take them back, just put them down and leave!"

"Sir, does this... seem inhumane?" Jing Yue couldn't quite understand why Bai Yu's gift was accepted in Xuanfu, but when Yansui was reluctant to return the gift he received?

Chen Xidao: "Just follow the instructions, do you want to make the decision on my behalf?"

Jing Yue shook his head and smiled bitterly, and took the order and left.

Chen Xi did not go to see Wang Lingzhi and other generals, nor did he think about contacting the old Yansui local headquarters. He was exhausted throughout the journey and was sore all over. He simply went back to his room to rest and enjoy Li Jin's gentle care. As for Hui Niang, as she wished, Chen Xi asked her to stay in Xuanfu to take care of the sick child.

Just as Chen Xi entered the house, Li Jin had prepared the fragrant soup for bathing, which was very thoughtful.

Chen Xi's body and mind are lighter.

Li Jin didn't have so many thoughtful burdens, and he was doing his duty as a little woman wherever he went. If Chen Xi took Yun Liu and Xier, the two girls would be traveling outside most of the time and had no time to stay for him.

Li Jin said: "I thought the master wanted to drink a few more drinks in the governor's office... Why did he come back so early?"

Chen Xi took off his coat and felt a little hot. He picked up a pallet fan and fucked the wind, saying, "The banquet was bland and dull. It was just Governor Yansui and I on the table. He wanted to find out more about the capital from me. It seemed that he had the intention to return to the court. No civil servant wanted to stay in a cold place like the three sides for a long time..."

Li Jin blinked: "Why did the master enjoy it in Yansui in the past?"

Chen Xi shook his head and sighed: "Because Your Majesty ignores the government affairs, the more you are now, the more you are away from the capital, the more dim the official career will be. This has almost become a consensus among civil officials. My situation is different from everyone. No matter where you go, Your Majesty will worry about it..."

"I won't say it anymore, and I'm also boasting. Now that the rebellion has subsided, I don't have to hurry to Ningxia Town. Let's take a day off and set off early in the morning the next morning. You can rest more in the past two days, stay in the house and don't go out, and you shouldn't do the job of serving tea and water."

"If I don't do these things, who will do them?" Li Jin asked timidly.

"You are the young grandma, just enjoy your happiness!"

Chen Xi walked over and took Li Jin into his arms, saying, "I have sent them back to their hometowns by the Governor of Xuanfu and the General of Xuanfu before. In order to take good care of you, I specially selected female soldiers from the intelligence department in my hand to accompany him temporarily. I can feel at ease to use this."

"You must know that if someone knows that I am still carrying my subordinates in the army and war, there will always be some criticism, and Your Majesty will also be suspicious of me... If you don't want me to be ruined, be obedient!"

Chen Xi's words sounded serious and seemed to be of great strength, but his tone was very gentle.

Li Jin heard it and felt a warmth.

He marched all the way, even if the beauty is by his side, Chen Xi lived a life of pure heart and less desires. Now he has finally gotten idle, and his soft jade is full of warm fragrance. Naturally, he is no longer polite, and soon he is in a state of chaos and rain.

...

...

Early the next morning, Chen Xi came out of the room and saw Wang Lingzhi in the hall below, Jing Yue and Hu Songyue had already gathered together for a small meeting.

Chen Xi patted the railings of the stairs, and then went downstairs with a "thump" thump".

"Sir, are you awake?"

Hu Songyue stood up and walked quickly to Chen Xi with a hint of eagerness on his face. In Chen Xi's opinion, this was unwillingness to accept the credit after it was robbed.

The three of them were all dressed in military uniforms, as if Chen Xi was going to lead his troops westward with the order.

He came from Xuanfu to Yansui from all over the world. He was about to enter Ningxia and gain military achievements. Who knew that the rebellion was actually quelled by others.

It was rare to follow an excellent coach, but in the end he found that he had no fight... even the cooked ducks could fly, and no one felt good.

Chen Xidao: "Why, I marched urgently throughout the journey, and I finally had a day off and adjusted, but I couldn't sleep? Why did I gather here early in the morning?"

Wang Lingyi said with a bitter face: "Sir, we are discussing the issue of sending troops... I heard that another group of people was about to arrive at the Ningxia Town headquarters, and the local area was acting quickly to suppress the rebels... If we went too late, all the military achievements were taken away by others."

"Yes, sir, it's urgent to send troops." Jing Yue said from the side.

Among the three, Jing Yue was the most tired one. He was busy returning the gift last night and didn't have a good rest all night. As a result, he rushed to lead his troops to drive... In the face of military achievements that were within reach, fatigue seemed nothing.

Chen Xidao: "You should know that it takes about ten days to go from Yansui to Ningxia. When you arrive at the place, it is too late to do anything. It is better to rectify it first before going to... In short, you will follow me to go to war, and the court will ask for rewards for merits, and you will be indispensable."

Wang Lingzhi lowered his head and muttered: "The military merits earned by himself are different from those leaking from other people's fingers."

"Yes, it's different. If you don't fight, you feel that the merit is like begging, and the military merits are also different." Jing Yue said, "With your prestige, this merit should be yours."

Chen Xi sighed, "I have not arrived yet, where did I get the first merit? This battle was fought by local troops. Do you think I have the right to compete for the first merit with the soldiers on the three sides? You have to make a reasonable point in everything!"

Wang Lingzhi was a little dissatisfied: "Sir, you should set out earlier. If you send troops a few days earlier, you will be unsure of who your military achievements will be."

“Yes, yes!”

As long as Wang Lingzhi spoke, Hu Songyue and Jing Yue would respond.

It is also because Jing Yue and Hu Songyue both knew that Wang Lingzhi had an extraordinary relationship with Chen Xi. Wang Lingzhi's complaint was to speak out for their interests and naturally supported them with all their strength.

Just at this moment, a person came in at the door and shouted from a distance: "Oh, here we are discussing how to divide the military merits? The troops are still ten days away from Ningxia Town. Even if they have to get the merits, they will get the place, right?"

The visitor was Zhang Yong, the military supervisor of Chenxi.

After learning that the rebellion in Ningxia Town had been resolved by the local government, he was not willing to accept it. When he thought that as long as Chen Xi led his troops to Ningxia, Chen Xi's official power would definitely be suppressed, and he would not be able to escape the first merit.

Jing Yue and Hu Songyue were thinking about how to seize the merits, while Zhang Yong asked Chen Xi to use his power to suppress others. In short, they all wanted to use their own methods to obtain military merits.

...

...

Zhang Yong and Chen Xi returned to the room, and the rest of the people were far behind.

"...Mr. Shen, this army has arrived in Yansui. Even if you don't want to make military achievements, you should move, right? To defeat Liu Jin, who is harmful to the world, there is no idea. If you don't even have military achievements, what do you think in our hearts... Otherwise, let's hurry up and take a few steps?"

Chen Xidao: "I have made a decision to rest in Yulinwei for a day and make some adjustments. Why should I hurry up and wait for the night? Eunuch Zhang will go back and wait for a night."

Zhang Yong smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, you have also seen that not only our family wants to go to Ningxia earlier, but none of your military generals, but also the lower-level officers and soldiers want to stay in Yulin Guard... It's meaningless to stay here. It's better to go to Ningxia earlier. Even if others eat bones and drink soup, it will make the soldiers have hope... If even the soup is gone, I'm afraid that Lord Shen's team will be difficult to lead!"

Chen Xi walked to the desk and said it was a desk, but it was actually just a table for eating and drinking tea in the room. Chen Xi picked up the official documents on it and said:

"As far as I know, the local people in Shaanxi have entered Ningxia Town five days ago. If you go on the road now, you may have lost bones and soup when you arrive! The result of the rush to travel is that Liu Jin is suspicious. It is better to march slowly and wait for another person to bring news first!"

On the issue of sending troops, Chen Xi was stubborn. Since he had decided to send troops again the day, it would be useless no matter who persuaded him.

Chen Xi has considered it repeatedly. Considering the time when Yang Yiqing entered Ningxia Town and the time when he contacted him, he had already made plans for these things.

After all, Chen Xi did not seek much military merit to suppress the rebellion this time, but instead took this opportunity to bring Liu Jin down.

Zhang Yong was furious: "Then Shangshu Chen will continue to survive... He agreed to send troops tomorrow, so he would set off early in the morning. Don't delay it by using excuses at that time. Our family cannot explain to the court!"

After saying that, Liu Jin shook his sleeves and left. He was planning to join forces with Chen Xi to deal with Liu Jin, but once it involved his own interests, he immediately exposed his greed nature.

On this side, Zhang Yonggang left, Chen Xi arrived at the door and called Wang Lingzhi, Hu Songyue and Jing Yue in to convey the incident of the coming of the army. Because Chen Xi had decided to do it, and the three of them were Chen Xi's old subordinates. Even if they were eager to compete for success, they could only endure it first and go back and rectify the team.

Just as Shen Xi was about to let the three of them leave, guards came in outside to spread the news: "Sir, the Governor's Office sent someone to come, saying that it was a banquet for the adults at noon today and invited the officials and gentry in the city to welcome the adults together!"

Chen Xi waved his hand: "Go out and tell me to come and say that my official is unwell and rests for one day and will send troops tomorrow morning... As for the matter of meeting officials and gentry, let's talk about it after the rebellion is completely quelled."

After entering Yansui, because all the contacts and handovers were messy, Chen Xi did not want to cause trouble for no reason, so he could only try not to see guests. Since he had visited the Governor of Yansui last night, he would let him solve the rest of the matter by himself.

...

...

The next night when Chen Xi's troops stationed in Yulinwei, that is, on the eve of the troops sent, Yang Yiqing sent people to send news from Ningxia Town.

Yang Yiqing led his troops into Ningxia Town on the fifth day of July. After confirming that the rebellion was quelled, he immediately arranged some measures to relieve the people and rectify the troops. Except for the thief leader Zhu Jieli, the king of Anhua and a few core members of the rebellion, he did not expand the case. Because Yang Yiqing's voice in the court was not as good as Chen Xi, this time he led his troops as deputy general of Chen Xi, so after entering Ningxia, he simply settled and passed the news to Chen Xi for knowledge.

In the inn room, Zhang Yong heard that Yang Yiqing was sent to come and was extremely anxious. When he saw Chen Xi, he began to mutter: "Look, it's too late, it's too late..."

Because Yang Yiqing advanced to Ningxia, there seemed to be no need to fight for his first achievements, and Yang Yiqing got his first achievements. In Zhang Yong's opinion, Chen Xi would never compete with Yang Yiqing, because Chen Xi had said before that whenever he was involved in military merits in this battle, Chen Xi would give in, with the purpose of making Liu Jin take it lightly.

Hu Songyue, who accompanied the messenger, asked with a frown, "That adult, are we still going to Ningxia?"

Originally, Hu Songyue and others followed Chenxi to fight and planned to "eat delicious food and drink spicy food". Now that they are angry, they are not so energetic.

Chenxidao: "The court sent us to quell the rebellion and quell the rebellion halfway, but we still have to complete the entrustment of the court. As for the issue of the credit, I will declare to the court and send troops as usual tomorrow morning."

Wang Lingzhi, who rushed over after hearing the news, seemed very depressed and said, "What's the point of sending troops now? When we arrived in Ningxia, the credit was all from others. When we went to see others celebrating the merits, we felt uncomfortable... Otherwise, let's stay in Yansui first, this is a familiar place. We have never seen General Lin before on this trip."

The "General Lin" in Wang Lingzhi's mouth is Chen Xi's brother-in-law Lin Heng. Chen Xi took Wang Lingzhi back to Beijing and wanted to take Lin Heng with him. As a result, Lin Heng chose to stay in Yansui Town for some reasons. Later, the position of the trilateral general system was abolished by the court. Lin Heng lacked Zhu Hui and Shen Xi's two backers, and now he is not doing well. After Chen Xi entered the city, he inquired from him and learned that Lin Heng was now leading troops, saying that he was conducting long-distance training.

According to Chen Xi's analysis, Lin Heng is very likely to be seconded to Ningxia Town to quell the rebellion.

After all, Lin Heng was the main general of the three-sided cavalry, and he made achievements in fighting with the Tatars several times before. This time, the Ningxia rebelled, and the Yulin Guard was not far away, so it was unreasonable not to second the elite troops from here.

However, since there was no court order for the seconded troops, the main officials from the three sides were silent on this and pretended that Lin Heng was training troops outside.

Chen Xi said angrily: "Looking at your sluggish look, as generals, you must be energetic at any time... The first merit in this battle is not our fault, and quelling the rebellion is not the result of another group of people. Next, we just send troops and may be forced to return to Beijing after lingering for a few days."

Zhang Yong asked in surprise: "I returned to Beijing so early? It would be better to stay here for a while... Lord Shen, the capital is a dragon's den!"

He said he wanted to fight Liu Jin together, but Zhang Yong was not confident enough. Thinking of Liu Jin's many tricks, he couldn't help but retreat and would rather stay in the northwest for a longer time.

After all, I am a master here, and I will be a grandson after returning to the capital.
