Chapter 518

So, we squatted together, drank pickle porridge, gnawed steamed buns, and listened to the old prisoners of war describing the rules and changes in Luokou City.

After that, every day after dinner, there will be a meeting about reminiscing about the bitterness and sweetness. Let them form groups of ten, with the leader taking the lead, and start chatting.

Their past experiences, what did they do after the chaos...

Occasionally, the instructor will come to check and ask questions cordially, and occasionally participate.

Tell them that his past experience was also from the land of Jianghuai, or the bandits in Shandong and Hebei.

The journey of how to become an excellent and glorious member of the Jiangdu Army.

The communication and communication between them gradually made these prisoners of war and the training officers form a group and became one.

A full month has passed, with frequent stops, sometimes from Dongdu, sometimes from Xingyang.

They were sent one after another to the prisoner-of-war camp outside Luokou City, almost thirty thousand of them.

More than 15,000 people have already begun training, and those who are too old or disabled, as well as some women and children, have been placed in another prisoner of war camp.

A large number of looms, needles and threads, and various materials will be transported there, and they need to rely on their own hands to sew new military uniforms.

Or making arrow shafts. In short, every time you do something, you can get work points, and then use the work points to exchange for food, clothing...

The newly arrived prisoners of war could only squat in the old prisoner of war camp, nibbling steamed buns, drinking pickle soup, and looking with envy and jealousy at the well-fed and well-educated Pao Ze opposite them.

I also look forward to the next time someone comes to recruit me so that I can enjoy such an opportunity.

Aren't they just a few simple military orders: stand, take a rest, sit down, line up, walk in unison, separate left and right...

Many prisoners of war, after swallowing the rations of preserved fruits, began to practice quietly, hoping that after going over there, they would not be punished by having their meals halved.

It is precisely because of the expectations and the words and deeds of the old prisoners of war that there have been no incidents in the prisoner-of-war camp except for troublemakers when there were first prisoners of war.

"Well done, thank you for your hard work."

Yang Qian stood on the city wall and saw the 15,000 repentant prisoners of war who were training properly in the new camp, with a happy smile on his face.

Although the time is short, he still cannot become an excellent Jiangdu Army general, and may even pose a threat to the safety of Luokou City.

However, as the timeline stretched, Yang Qian believed that he had achieved success in Jiangnan.

We will definitely succeed here, and in this way, I believe that the formation of the Dongdu Army will be put on the agenda before too long.

As he was talking, a detective horse came to report. "Commander, General Pei has moved. He has left Dongdu North and is moving east, possibly heading for Hulao Pass."

Yang Qian was a little stunned. "Hulao, what is he doing in Hulao?"

"Today, the land of Hulao is not in front of the enemy but behind the enemy. Where he goes..."

Li Jing's expression suddenly turned ugly. "Commander, I think it would be best to inform General Xu and Duke Tang as soon as possible."

Changsun Wuji reacted immediately and took a breath of cold air. "You mean that Pei Renji has a different ambition?"

"Pei Renji, who is now well-equipped with troops, should have led his army to attack the enemy in Dongdu. Going to Hulao at this time is really inconsistent with military law and strategy."

Yang Qian frowned, thought for a while, and glanced at everyone present.

"I am a guard in the eastern capital, and I also have the authority and responsibility to dispatch troops and generals. I don't know who is willing to go to Pei Renji's army on behalf of Yang."

"Go and ask Pei Renji for me what he wants to do. In addition, send an order to Xu Shiji to move into Hulao immediately."

"Commander, the general is willing to go."

Before anyone else could speak, Li Jing, the handsome man Yang Qian relied on as his right-hand man, stood up and saluted Yang Qian.

Yang Qian glanced at Li Jing, pondered for a while, and slowly shook his head.

"No, I need you to take charge of the overall situation here. Changsun, I'm afraid I still need to trouble you to make a trip."

Yang Qian took Changsun Wuji to the side. "I'm a little worried. I'm worried that Pei Renji and his son will turn to Li Mi."

"This is what I guess. Otherwise, why would Pei Renji leave the battlefield at such a time?"

"Nowadays, there are not many elite troops in the Eastern Capital, and there is even less talent for generals. Only Pei Renji and his son, the father is a good general, and the son is a warrior."

"If the father and his son lead the army to leave, then Dongdu will be equivalent to half opening the door."

"Since he did not directly march towards Dongdu, but instead sent troops away from Dongdu, it shows that he is still hesitant in his heart..."

"So, I hope you can help him and tell him to come to Luokou City. If he has any problems or difficulties, just ask and Yang can help him."

"The only thing is, if he leads his army to surrender to Li Mi, then you don't need to say anything more and just come back."

After giving some instructions, Yang Qian summoned Yuchi Jingde.

"General Yuchi, the safety of Changsun Changshi rests in your hands. I hope General Yuchi can protect Changsun Changshi's safety."

"Don't worry, Commander. The general will be around, and Changsun Changshi will have no worries." Yuchi Jingde nodded solemnly and stood behind Changsun Wuji.

#####

Half an hour later, Changsun Wuji rode his horse, and Yuchi Jingde led two thousand cavalry to follow. After the two set off for about Zhuxiang Kungfu.

Yang Qian was really worried, so he ordered 10,000 cavalry to follow him, twenty miles apart, with his camera moving.

After they left Luokou City, Yang Qian received a secret letter from Jiangdu. He only glanced at it briefly, and Yang Qian's expression couldn't help but change.

Standing on the city wall, he stared blankly towards the southeast.

Although Yigan Wenwu didn't know what news Yang Qian received, he could clearly feel that the atmosphere suddenly seemed sluggish.

As for Yang Qian, who was standing there, although his expression seemed calm, it still made people feel that he was not looking at the distance, but at the shocking tide.

"Jiangdu Guoxiao's army began to secretly join forces, intending to raise troops to return north. People inside and outside Jiangdu County are in panic all day long."

"Your Majesty has not seen Yu Shiji and General Lai for several days..."

"Perhaps His Majesty is sick?"

"The news from the palace is that His Majesty is fine. However, the envoys who are most trusted by His Majesty have also been transferred outside the city on the pretext of practicing."

Having said this, Yang Qian reluctantly smiled.

"Fortunately, I have been operating in Jiangdu for several years and have already made arrangements. I hope the worst case scenario will not happen."

Fang Qiao narrowed his eyes slightly and saluted Yang Qian.

"In this case, please make plans early, Commander-in-Chief, so as not to cause the world to collapse and all life to be devastated..."

Yang Qian nodded heavily, waved his hand, and walked straight down the city wall without looking back.
