However, looking out from inside the car, it is destined to be completely white, and I don’t know how to see it.

Seeing this, Gao Jiang continued to give instructions: "Your Highness, please send a personal female officer out..."

After a while of rustling, a female official dressed in men's clothing jumped out of the car shivering.

"You." As the governor, Gao Jiang naturally pointed his finger at the female officer without being polite. "Go over there into the untrodden snow. Don't look back without my order... But be careful not to fall." .”

The female officer dressed in men's clothing did not dare to hesitate, her body was trembling, but her feet were nimble, and she directly followed the order and walked forward step by step into the snow.

"Okay, come back." Seeing that the female officer had gone far enough, Gao Jiangfu called again. "No need to dust off the snow powder on your body, just go up and show His Highness where the snow is..."

The female officer hurriedly turned back and boarded the warm palace carriage. The traces of snow on her body melted away almost immediately, but it only wet her calves.

"Has your Highness seen it?" Gao Dugong was too late to ask.

"I saw it." The queen was obviously relieved again.

"Actually, if we really want to talk about difficulties, the biggest difficulty is probably to reach Qiaojun. There are not many troops stationed there. I would like to take the liberty of asking Your Highness to write an edict and send it directly to the Xuzhou camp. Please ask for a reinforcement to go to Qiaojun. Bian...this is the right way."

The queen became nervous again: "The saint doesn't like the harem being so good at issuing orders."

"It doesn't matter." Gao Dugong seemed to have thought about it for a long time. "If His Highness is interested in this matter, he only needs to write a decree, first praising Prefect Cao and Liangjun for the good reception here, and then ask Xianggong Zhang, Prefect Cao, Luo and Xue The two regular inspectors asked them what the strength of the garrison troops in Qiao County ahead was like? Is it as appropriate as Liang County? In this way, they would discuss it in front of the team, and then go to Xuzhou to recruit troops according to His Highness's decree. In this way, they would not It means that Your Highness is going to intervene in the military."

There was silence in the palace carriage for a while.

Gao Jiang was impatient and could only urge: "Your Highness, just now Your Highness was pitying the tens of thousands of Dongdu palace servants who had to travel through the snow. Now that they can protect the team, why are they hesitant? If you really continue to hesitate, wait until the snow melts in spring. If you can't leave Qiao County, then your future is hopeless."

"What Mr. Gao Du said is right. I put the cart before the horse and got confused." The voice in the palace carriage immediately responded. "I will write the decree right now."

After a while, a decree stamped with the Queen's seal was written. The female officer held it out, and the Queen opened the car door and gave instructions to the outside:

"In this case, only Governor Lao Gao can do it."

"Your Highness, please just sit in the car and let your ministers decide what to do when traveling." Gao Jiang saluted sincerely. "This time, I will never let down the entrustment of the saint."

When the queen heard the word saint, she was speechless. She just nodded and ordered the car door to be closed.

After a while, the team continued to move forward, but plunged into the vast white land of the Central Plains.

That is to say, on the same day, as their respective sentries returned, Zhang Xing gathered many left-behind leaders in the lobby of the county town of Jiyin County to prepare for the final discussion and decision.

At this time, in addition to Zhang Xing, there were also the chief Wei Xuanding, the big leader Xiong Bonan, the purple-faced king who had just returned after receiving the news, the big leader Xu Shiying, the leader Niu Da, Zhou Xingfan, Jia Yue, the Lu brothers, and Guo Jingke. , Du Caiqian, Chai Xiaohe, Huang Junhan, Zhang Jinshu, as well as a group of new leaders led by Guan Xu, Zhou Weishi, etc., plus Shang Huaizhi's younger brother Shang Huaien, Yan Qing and other new leaders.

There was even a leader of Dangshan who was sent by Wang Zhen and was uneasy no matter how he sat. He was a fat leader named Fan who was said to be very famous in Dangshan.

Large and small, the county palace was actually packed to capacity.

Obviously, the news that the front line is still attacking cities and opening maps these days has seriously irritated everyone in the rear. From top to bottom, from civil servants to military officers, no one can sit still.

"Report the information!" After withdrawing the case, Zhang Xing, who was sitting in the first place, took his eyes away from Chef Fan and pointed at Yan Qing, who was appearing publicly on such an occasion for the first time.

Under the strange looks of many people below Chief Wei Xuanding, Yan Qing stood up calmly, holding a piece of paper in both hands, and began to announce the intelligence:

"When the team heading south left Xingyang, there were a total of 14,000 to 5,000 people, most of whom were palace servants and chamberlains. They brought with them more than a hundred carriages, hundreds of uncovered carts pulled by donkeys and horses, and numerous boxes and cages. Among them, the Queen With the vast majority of high-ranking concubines, including the family members of King Qi, as well as a small number of family members of officials..."

Just hearing this, many bumpkins in the hall started to sigh, and the initiator of the idea, Taoist Wei, became even more excited and just wanted to call him a good guy.

Of course, the good guy didn't shout out, but Zhang Xing couldn't help but frown: "Why do you just ignore people and things like this? Is it really like running away?"

As soon as he said this, the whole hall fell into silence, and he honestly shut his mouth.

"We can only guess that Cao Zhongcheng wanted to retain manpower and material resources, and at the same time control the families of Jiangdu officials as hostages." Yan Qing quickly explained. "So the scale of the southward expedition was artificially limited, and the utensils and goods in the palace were controlled."

"That should be the case." Zhang Xing sighed for a moment. "Go on!"

"Yes." Yan Qing made a full gesture, as careful and conscientious as a subordinate. "Besides, maybe something went wrong in Nanyang, and Cao Zhongcheng wanted to retain people, or maybe he felt that the team was not large, so There is no Jinwu Guard accompanying him as I thought before. It mainly relies on local troops and county soldiers to alternately escort...

"The person in charge should be Gao Jiang, as I have said many times before. He is the actual core of the team, while Zhang Shizhao does nothing...

"As for Liangjun and Qiaojun, everyone knows the top and bottom, the characters, and the strength of the troops. I won't say more. Who really doesn't know, but let me ask again...

"It is worth mentioning that the first, second, and third patrol teams of Jing'an Taiwan were all escorted. The three Zhu Shou were Luo Fang, Xue Liang, and Shen Ding. Luo Fang was a Cheng Dan, and Xue Liang should have just condensed the Dan. , both are the adopted sons of Cao Zhongcheng. Shen Ding was the old deputy deputy inspector with a black ribbon. Now he is promoted, but I don’t know whether it is because he has achieved a breakthrough in his realm or because he has reached the level of qualifications and needs someone. The three black ribbons are Qin Bao, Li Qingchen and Lu Chang Heng..."

Hearing this, Zhang Xing's eyelids finally twitched as everyone stared at him strangely.

"Zhang Longtou." Wei Xuanding saw the other party's eyelids twitching with his own eyes, but he just pinched his beard and smiled. "How many of these six people do you know?"

When Zhang Xing heard this, he just said it expressionlessly: "Luo Fang is brave but has no strategy, but he relies on his versatility, so he can just let King Xiongtian win; Xue Liang has neither courage nor strategy, and Shen Ding is a bureaucrat. These two people are Ningdan." He is also a waste, and both Xu Dalang and I can win... On the other hand, Qin Bao and Lu Changheng are both my former trusted subordinates, and they are also rare heroes. The former is brave and violent, while the latter is calm and steady. These two are Although they are far behind in cultivation, we must also be careful about their ability to lead troops... As for Li Qingchen, I really can't think of what to say about him. I can only say that at the end of his life, he was as famous as me in Jing'an Taichung."

Xiao Zhou Benn nodded.

At this time, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became a little tense and strange. Only Xu Shiying, who didn't know what was going on, actually took a charcoal pen and smeared something on the paper hastily.

Niu Da next to him had sharp eyes and saw that this guy had written these six names again, and then drew a circle on Xue Liang, Qin Bao, and Lu Changheng respectively, and drew two circles on Luo Fang's name, and hesitated for a moment. Then, he drew three circles on the words Li Qingchen.
