When Xu Xingwei wrote to recruit the letter, he probably didn't know that Zhong Ji and Yao Pingzhong had been seriously injured one after another. Even so, he still wrote the letter, which was probably Xu Zixian's intention.

They were all friends with fellow comrades, and a family of generals like Zhong Ji and Yao Pingzhong, with good abilities and young people in their twenties, with great future and abilities. It would be a pity to die on the battlefield in western Liaoning.

Zhong Ji and Yao Pingzhong both understood in their hearts, but they still chose to refuse. Without it, it was not without friendship, nor did they not want to go south to achieve ready-made fame. Both of them are now commanders of the battalion. With their abilities and qualifications, it is not difficult to fight for the command of the military commanders of the government troops in the south within two or three years.

As long as the King of Qin does not openly raise the flag to rebel, the government army will also serve the King of Qin within the system of the Great Wei army and join the government army. They will still be the military officer of the Great Wei imperial guards. After becoming the commander of the military capital, they will try to return to the north, serve for more than ten years, and make certain military achievements, and then covet the command position of the Xiangdu commander.

But no matter how exquisite the calculation is, it cannot withstand the depressed and frustrated mood of the two of them now.

The army was confronting each other for a long time, and the imperial envoys came one after another. The army was likely to start a battle with the enemy and be forced to fight. The army's chances of victory would not exceed 50%. At this time, when thinking that relatives and friends are in the army, and they are involved in the national destiny of the Great Wei Dynasty, how could the two young military officers go south to fight for their wealth?

"Let's talk about it when there is a result." Zhong Ji said last, this is already the conclusion.

"Let's wait for the news." Yao Pingzhong also sighed and stopped talking.

The ship was shaking. The ship was a navy ship of the court. It was old and broken, and it was a miracle that it could be activated. The warships of Wang Zhi's troops were preserved quite well, but Wang Zhi's troops worked hard for more than half a year ago. The court did not give a penny or a stone of grain, and everything was paid out of Wang Zhi's own pocket.

Wang Zhi wanted to buy people's hearts to redeem his past. Now Wang Zhi's reputation is much better than before. His subordinates also sacrificed more for the war in western Liaoning. People have accepted that Wang Zhi's troops occupied multiple islands, and even the intention to use Dengzhou as a base was tacitly approved by the court.

Although the trade in the north shrinks, Wang Zhi's troops have been disbanding their old subordinates. Now the number of people has shrunk greatly, and the ships have also eliminated a group of old ones. Now only more than 200 warships of different sizes remain.

Even so, the strength of Wang Zhi's troops was still enough to be arrogant in the entire northern seas. The Bohai Kingdom had an old navy, which was not as powerful as the Nanyang navy of the Great Wei Dynasty. There were only dozens of warships and thousands of naval officers and soldiers, which was not enough for Wang Zhi to sway. The strength of the Great Wei court in the north was similar to that of the Bohai Kingdom, and it was even weaker.

If the court gave Wang Zhi's troops food and wages, the navy of his subordinates would naturally be able to be used by the court. Now Wang Zhi's troops have withdrawn their rest and rest, or have returned to merchant ships, or collected taxes at sea, and used these means to support themselves.

After working hard for the court for several months, no one has been able to blame Wang Zhi on the stance of justice.

The old imperial navy ship was shaking constantly, and the old hard sails and masts made a squeaking sound, as if the hull could break at any time.

The bow of the ship splits the sea water, while the hull tries to avoid large pieces of ice floating. The entire hull moves forward crookedly, heading towards Jinhai Port.

"The Red Flag Envoy arrives." A young military officer in military uniform, shouldering the responsibility of the officers in the camp, shouted loudly on the arrow tower at the camp gate when the Red Flag Envoy arrives again.

Many soldiers with stubborn soldiers stood in the spring rain, staring at the team of people with confusion or anger. Within ten days, the Red Flag Envoy arrived seven times, which meant that every day there were imperial envoys holding the Red Flag to urge the battle.

The weather was extremely bad this time, and there was almost no sun for more than ten days. Every day it was either dark and cloudy or drizzling. The weather was wet and cold. This coldness was much more uncomfortable than the dry and cold in winter. It was wet everywhere, and the snow was mostly not melted yet. It was mixed with the drizzle. The ground was frozen in the morning and melted again at noon, muddy, and the barracks and tents were also wet and cold. Everyone's mood was the same as this weather, cold and wet.

An old man watched the horse's hooves fly, splashing a large piece of muddy red flag in the camp. His right hand, which had frozen and cracked, spitting on the ground, and cursing in a strong northwest accent: "You thief, you're urging you to death."

Another imperial guard looked deep into the camp. It was the area with the most tightly-defended camp. In the eyes of many people, the central army camp that covered trenches and resisted horses and arrow towers was safer than Ningyuan City. There were quite obvious calls for big flags there, and the red flag made the horses gallop, and it was almost under the big flag.

Neither Li Guorui nor Yue Zhi lived in Ningyuan City. This city, built at the pass, was first established. It was only more than three miles long. There were large trenches, antlers and arrow towers on the outside. The entire city was filled with the smell of soil. In winter, the sun was not hot enough, and all the houses seemed to be dry.

Not moving to the city to live is only secondary reasons. No matter how bad the conditions in the city are, they are much better than outside the city. Li Guorui just doesn't want to live in the city, and he crowds with the military supervisors, military inspectors, and transportation envoys... The various officials sent by the court, from the two governments, from the three departments, from the weapons supervisors, from the three departments, from the grain supervisors of the three departments, from all kinds of officials who inexplicably went to the front to make military achievements. There were at least a hundred officials in the red robe in a city that was several miles apart.

This is not surprising. The 300,000 people mobilized more than one million people in front of the dynasty. This is the biggest military mobilization of the dynasty since the founding of the country. The government and the people are paying great attention from the emperor to the local area. There are many soldiers who are hiding from the battlefield, and there are certainly many ambitious people who want to make enough contributions on the battlefield, and replace the red robes with red robes with red robes.

These officials either pretend to be honest and honest, and show the face of an honest official who is indifferent to the salt, or they are flattering and greasy, which makes people feel bored at first sight.

Li Guorui did not live in the city, so he would rather live in a camp outside the city. At least he was a person who did practical things here. Even the officials of the Shuaisi brought or selected them himself. At least they could not see those annoying things in the officials.

Li Guorui was a Jinshi during the reign of Emperor Wuzong. He was the "Same Jinshi" and the top three. There were only three people, and there were more than two hundred people below. He was called "Same Jinshi" and there were dozens of people. He was also the top ranking among these dozens. He was the editor of the Secretariat of the Sect. He was transferred to the magistrate of the CPC several years later. It was the most difficult for local people to be the chief official in the capital, because the capital was either rich or noble. The dynasty did not leave any royal family in the capital, but the powerful people were also

There are many people. This qualification has laid a solid foundation for Li Guorui's position as the sanction envoy. It is not that he has learned a lot, but that in this position, due to his cautious and cautious, capable and decisive style, he has been appreciated by several big-name officials, and since then he has entered the fast lane of promotion.

It's fast, but it's actually just one step at a time.

In his early thirties, he went from the magistrate of the Jing County to the Deputy Privy Councilor, then to the Attorney Censor, the Military Arts Supervisor, then the Privy Councilor, the State Defense Envoy, and then the Palace Attorney General, the Transport Authority, the Privy Councilor, the Privy Councilor, the Commander, the Pacant Envoy, and the Deputy Privy Councilor.

Li Guorui's official position was not as prominent or noble as the central position such as Ci Lin and Zhongshufang. He had always been in the position of Privy Council, military weapon supervisor, local people-friendly officials, and governing officials.

After thirty years of service, he is nearly fifty years old this year. He is the army recruiting envoys and deputy envoy of Privy Councilor. If the Northern Expedition is successful, the title of Duke is expected to be granted.

"It was the doctor's order, Lord Chen." The Red Flag Envoy was equivalent to a formal envoy, who had the same identity as the emperor before the imperial edict, which was equivalent to the emperor's will.

For Li Guorui and others, the emperor has been involved quite frequently. Not only is the Red Flag urging the war, but many officials also adhere to the emperor's will and frequently intervene in specific military affairs. This is already unbearable.

In fact, Li Guorui had no interest in the career of the officialdom. If it weren't for the great relationship between the Northern Expedition, not only the life and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in front of him, but also the luck of the Great Wei and the future of hundreds of millions of Chinese people, he would have wanted to leave and resign and go home directly.

"I've seen the envoys." Chen Chang took the red flag and said it was a greeting, but in fact it was a straight back. He went straight into the tent. The personal soldiers, military officers, officials, and officials around him had seen many envoys of the red flag recently, and he was already quite familiar with everything in front of him. Now everyone gave way and made Chen Chang enter with great enthusiasm.

Li Guorui, Li Xiande, Zhang Bangwen, Yue Zhi, Li Youde, Liu Guoding, Mai Jitong and other important officials and generals also followed.

Chen Chang stood in the middle. The red flag was actually a small flag. The flagpole was only about three feet away, but it was just a small red flag. However, the flagpole was made quite exquisitely. The bottom of the flagpole was inlaid with gold, the flagpole was painted yellow, the red flag cloth was triangular, and the decorative pattern was patterned. In the middle of the red flag, it was a very obvious word "Chi".

This is the red flag representing the will of the emperor. During the Taizu period, the army was frequent, and many generals of the military were on their own. It was not common for Taizu to send envoys to hold the red flag to supervise the battle, because Taizu was magnanimous and generous, and he did not doubt people, and he did not use doubts. Many generals of the military were not only not able to see the imperial envoys around him, but even civil servants were not permanent. Taizu relied on the establishment of the army and the system of the army, rather than relying on a few eunuchs or civil servants to monitor the army.
