Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 209 No Fluctuation
The next day, after getting permission from the King of Yu, Hong Niangzi set foot on the road to meet with only a pair of personal guards under heavy frost.

The mist had just dissipated, and the coolness gradually began to rise. Hong Niangzi turned around and said: "King Yu is from the clan after all. Unlike King Chuang, there are very strict rules. You must obey everything."

"Obey!" Dozens of female guards responded without hesitation, and Hu Niang's voice was the loudest, and the shaking was also the loudest.

Thirty miles outside the city, checkpoints have been set up, and a large number of cavalry are constantly patrolling, exploring, and looking for suspicious persons.

Hong Niangzi was not afraid, she was not hostile at all, she looked around openly, wanting to know the strength of King Yu.

A tiger Li Guo, Zhang Xianzhong, was he the one who defeated it?
However, as expected, the rules were really strict, and there were more than three people who checked the badges along the way.

The battalions on the road are stationed not far apart, and once they find something, they can support each other in a blink of an eye.

"General, the armor in King Yu's army is really high."

The tiger lady rode side by side, turned her head and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid it's around forty to fifty percent. Among the burglars, it's only the old camp's treatment."

"That's right!" Hong Niangzi nodded, her beautiful eyes turned serious, "It's just that this armor is really strange, it's too thin and stiff."

"However, even if it's just a piece of iron, it's a great protection for soldiers."

The forging of armor requires not only a large number of craftsmen, but also a huge amount of iron. In this troubled world, the value of iron is comparable to grain.

This is also what Chuangying lacks. A large amount of its armor comes from the captured Ming army, so that the robes of the two are almost exactly the same.

After spending half a day, a group of people arrived at Xiangcheng, a precipitous city leaning on Funiu Mountain.

At the gate of the city, a large amount of supplies poured in continuously, and there were so many mules and horses that there was no time to clean up the excrement accumulated on the road.

However, it is miscellaneous but not chaotic, and the few people come and go freely, live and work in peace and contentment, which makes people feel chaotic.

"Red Ginseng General?" At the gate of the city, the guard looking at the badge said softly, "Your Highness is in the county office, you can go there by yourself."

"As for the personal guards, you need to confiscate your weapons and wait outside the city. Don't worry, all the wine shops are fully equipped."

As he said that, the red lady followed his instructions and saw that there was a large wooden shed at the foot of the city wall not far away, where many people dressed as soldiers ate and drank.

"Go!" The red lady ordered softly, and then swaggered into the city.

The tiger mother could only nod her head, shaking the slightly swollen place, which made the guards startled.

"Haven't you seen a woman?" Hu Niang snorted coldly.

Entering the city, as far as the eye can see, there are three steps and one post, five steps and one post, and patrolling soldiers are everywhere, which can be described as airtight.

The pressure in her heart gradually increased, so she bit the bullet and came to the county government office.

"You are the red lady?"

It went inside very smoothly and met His Royal Highness Prince Yu.

King Yu was dressed in a strong suit, with a dignified appearance, eyes like bright stars, a nose as high as a distant mountain, and slightly thick lips, giving him a heroic look.

There is a short beard on the chin, which is quite chic and handsome.

"A general, why is he so handsome?"

It's a pity that Hong Niangzi didn't care much about this, and was even a little disappointed.

Compared with the big-armed, round-waisted and bearded general in his imagination, King Yu was really far behind.

"Red Lady is your real name?"

King Yu looked at the female general inquiringly, and couldn't help showing a trace of curiosity.

I saw that she was wearing armor and a red cloak, and she walked in a hurry.

Danfeng eyes, straight nose bridge, thin lips slightly pursed, with a hint of fierceness between his brows and eyes, he looks shrewd and capable.

Her temperament was similar to Qin Liangyu's, but her fierceness was even stronger. She was not rouged, and her skin was wheat-colored, like a rebellious rouge horse.

"Appearance, it can only be considered above average!"

Zhu Yixi looked at her in her heart, besides Qin Liangyu, she was the only woman with masculinity.

"The last general's maiden name is Zhao. Because she was born in a juggling business, she likes red, and travels all over the world, so she is called Hong Niangzi."

The red lady lowered her head and responded.

"Li Zhaoshi?" Zhu Yixi murmured, "Forget it, let's call you Hong Niangzi!"

Glancing at her resolute face, Zhu Yixi said in a businesslike manner:
"You are Li Yan's wife, and you have a deep blood feud with Li Zicheng. This time, when you go north to Henan, you will not only fight Li Zicheng, but also Jiannu."

"Your subordinates have to obey orders, and you can't tolerate reckless actions, otherwise the military law will be followed, understand?"

"As long as the last general wants revenge, he should obey the military laws and orders."

The red lady raised her head, and solemnly promised: "As long as I can get revenge, I will be smashed to pieces, and I will not hesitate."

"Go on!" Zhu Yixi nodded, waved his hand, and said, "There will be no shortage of food and supplies for you. Work hard. I look forward to a female general."

"Obey!" The red lady relaxed a little before turning and leaving.

Looking at her wasp waist and round buttocks, Zhu Yixi shook his head, holding back his thoughts.

At this time, it is not advisable to make extra branches.

As the red lady walked out, she always felt a burning sensation on her back, which made her feel weird.

……

At this time, Luoyang City was also under military control.

Liu Zongmin sat down boldly, eating a large piece of mutton in his mouth, and his face was covered with oil stains.

Two rows of generals also sat cross-legged, drinking strong wine, eating wine and meat, very happy.

After a long time, it seemed that the meal was finished, Liu Zongmin swept his eyes away and said in a deep voice:
"Brothers, the battle at Shanhaiguan was really aggrieved. This guy Wu Sangui was unreasonable, communicated with foreign thieves, and betrayed His Majesty and us, resulting in a great defeat."

"Now, my foot injury is healed, and the army is almost integrated. Your Majesty has gone to northern Shaanxi to fight Azig and Wu Sangui. We are here to deal with Duduo who is going south."

After talking, Liu Zongmin was a little thirsty, took a sip of wine and continued: "In Henan, this is our territory, we must severely dampen his spirit and take revenge."

"revenge!!!"

Mentioning this, the generals filled their chests with anger, chasing them all the way, half of the gold and silver they got from Beijing was scattered, it was so irritating.

However, during the words, there was still some guilty conscience.

Man Qing's is so powerful that I have a shadow in my heart.

"How should we fight?" Li Laiheng couldn't help asking: "We have 100,000 people in our hands, and we can't beat them without cavalry."

Hearing this, Liu Zongmin said in a deep voice: "We brothers are not afraid of field battles, but the cavalry, we are at a disadvantage, but we have to bite the bullet and fight."

"The emperor's mind is to start from Luoyang and gradually reduce the spirit of building slaves."

Liu Fangliang couldn't help but said: "We also have troops in Huaiqing Mansion. Jiannu must break through Huaiqing Mansion in order to cross the south of the Yellow River."

"There are 20,000 people in Huaiqing Mansion, so it's not that easy to break through!"

Liu Zongmin said without any fluctuation.
