There will be no danger along the way.

Moreover, the main force of the bandits is still in the Guanzhong area, and the bandits in Henan are far from becoming a climax.

Because of this, Zhang Jingyi advocated going to Guide Mansion quickly.

However, Zhang Jingyi also noticed some situations, so he reported to Emperor Tianqi: "Your Majesty, several quick horses who released the letters to Guide Mansion, either there was no news or there was no trace. I think... nothing happened to Guide Mansion, right?"

Under normal circumstances, communication is a crucial issue in the process of conducting camps.

In this era, the communication method is relatively primitive, and it is nothing more than sending fast horses.

If the world is peaceful in normal times, there will naturally be a series of measures to ensure communication problems.

But the situation in Henan is different now. Long ago, Emperor Tianqi's camp was interrupted from Guide Mansion.

This shows that there may be some kind of "mysterious power" between Guide Mansion and Xingying, which cut off the communication.

Emperor Tianqi was very familiar with military affairs. When he heard this, he immediately said: "It's not that something happened, but something must have happened! Combined with the bandits that appeared in Qi County, I think... there should be a large number of bandits nearby. Zhang Qing... It seems that he will release a large number of scouts, choose fast horses, and ten elite scouts as a team, so that they can set out from several ways to search for traces of thieves. If they encounter an enemy, there is no need to fight against each other. After observing their scale, they will withdraw immediately."

Zhang Jingyi's expression also became solemn, and he said, "I will arrange this."

Emperor Tianqi sighed, "I never expected that the situation in Henan would become like this. Zhang Qing, you are my trusted minister, and there are no outsiders here now. To be honest, please talk to me."

Briefing?

Zhang Jing said: "When people have no food, they have to leave their ancestral homes. At the beginning, the capital collected a lot of refugees, but the people couldn't survive. They first wandered in groups of three or five to find food. But when they couldn't find them, they either starved to death or were a bandit. Among these bandits, there will always be some wild people who gradually learned how to organize people's hands and how to unite people's hearts. So many leaders came out."

"Just like the King of Breaking, there were Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng. At first, they might have just captured prefectures and counties, just to get food to survive... But gradually... When they found that they had the ability to conquer prefectures and counties, they evolved and turned into giant bandits, attacked cities and villages, organized camps and groups, selected elites, and called themselves kings. The bandits now reached this second stage."

Emperor Apocalypse nodded in agreement.

In essence, refugees are raising poison. In the process of constantly breaking the city and being encircled, only the most persevering people can gradually stand out.

Zhang Jingyi continued: "In the second stage, it is actually not scary. After all... they have no foundation after all. As long as the court is determined to surround and block or recruit them, they can still win."

"The most troublesome thing is that it has reached the third stage. The bandits are no longer satisfied with wandering around and starting to manage themselves. At that time, they will absorb talents and start to win the hearts of the people. These giant bandits who stood out from countless bandits have often cultivated a large number of elite soldiers and generals through countless wars. In addition, there are many people who follow them and grow up to govern the people. At that time, it will be the time when the world collapses."

When he heard that he wanted money, Zhu Youjian's hair seemed to have added a lot of snow to his head, but he thought it was very reasonable. After all, the soldiers are about to kill the enemy, so how can they not be rewarded?

So Zhu Youjian said, "The Lone King will do his best to raise the money, don't worry."

Wang Wenzhi said: "Your Highness is like this, how dare you not do your best?"

Zhu Youjian asked again: "How many people have you brought this time?"

Wang Wenzhidao: "I brought all of them, 15,000 people."

Zhu Youjian said excitedly: "The army will first station the city towers. If I can split up, I will go to work hard."

Wang Wenzhi responded.

Zhu Youjian sighed again: "The Lone King has entrusted all military affairs to Zi Yan. I believe that Zi Yan will definitely make the Lone King look at him with admiration."

Wang Wenzhi couldn't help but be moved, and tears flashed in his eyes.

Seeing him like this, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but feel sad and sobbed each other again.

After talking for a long time, Wen Tiren and Wang Wenzhicai both left, left the palace, and then naturally went to Wen Tiren's residence.

After entering the Wen Mansion, the two of them walked through the heavy door signs and then into the inner hall. Several maids went forward to pour tea with a well-trained manner.

The two of them took a sip of tea, but Wen Tiren suddenly said, "Ziyan, you just said, have you brought back all the troops?"

"Of course." Wang Wenzhidao: "En Mansion, this mansion is important after all."

Wen Tiren said strangely: "It seems that when I welcome you into the city, I saw that there were not many soldiers and horses you brought."

Although there were no heads, Wen Tiren was not a fool, nor was he blind. The size of the team could be seen at a glance.

At first, he thought that Wang Wenzhi only led a vanguard army to come back first because he was worried about the safety of King Xin, so he didn't take it seriously, but now...

When Wang Wenzhi saw his mentor asking, he stammered: "It is indeed 15,000 people... the Mansion..."

"Tell the truth." Seeing Wang Wenzhi's reaction, Wen Tiren's face gradually changed, and even had a gray face.

"En Mansion..." Wang Wenzhi looked embarrassed, as if he could not hide it, so he had to say, "Actually... only nine thousand."

Wen Tiren's face was still frozen, and he only stared at Wang Wenzhi coldly, his voice coldly: "There are nine thousand?"

Yes, he doesn't believe it.

Wang Wenzhi smiled bitterly and finally said, "I dare not hide my mentor. In fact, there are six thousand people... those Qiu Ba only know how to eat empty salary and blood of soldiers... If you don't report 15,000 people, how... how..."

Wen Tiren's eyes were like a knife, still falling firmly on Wang Wenzhi.

Seeing Wen Tiren like this, Wang Wenzhi simply said, "Then the students said it straight, in fact, there are only three thousand people... Enfu, the students have their own difficulties..."

Wen Tiren's face suddenly turned pale when she heard this, and she couldn't help but become dizzy.

Wen Tiren couldn't help but say, "But the list you sent has a name and a surname..."

Wang Wenzhi said for granted: "Since this... is to receive the salary, of course we must have a name and a surname."

Wen Tiren actually thought this answer was quite reasonable.
