Chen Xi and Xie Qian negotiated in the central army's tent for more than two hours. It was not until the drums sounded at the fourth hour that Xie Qian got up and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, Xie Qian gave Chen Xi some advice, hoping that Chen Xi would not show off.

Xie Qian said: "You can withdraw your troops by the Tatars. Don't chase the enemy. You must not lose too many troops and horses because of this, and you must not take risks with yourself! Remember!"

Chen Xi bowed and thanked him again, and then sent Xie out of the Central Army's tent.

Wang Lingzhi, Lin Heng and others were waiting outside the tent.

When he learned that the imperial court sent a Grand Secretary to contact Chen Xi, even a powerful general like Wang Lingzhi who didn't like to use his brains knew that he had made a lot of contributions and wanted to know how the imperial court would award rewards... He did not seek gold, silver and jewelry, and was rich and prosperous, but wanted to be promoted to command more troops and fight on the battlefield.

Chen Xi introduced Wang Lingzhi to Xie Qian.

Xie Qian looked at Wang Lingzhi, who was tall and strong, and laughed in silence: "On the Xizhi Gate yesterday, you led troops to attack the Tatar Central Army several times, and each time you were captured?"

In Xie Qian's opinion, since Chen Xi, the senior brother, is well-behaved and has a high level of cultivation, as Chen Xi's "junior brother", Wang Lingzhi should also be full of beauty and eloquent expression. Unexpectedly, Wang Lingzhi was stunned for a moment before nodding: "Oh, it's me!"

One sentence made Xie Qian frown.

Xie Qian looked at Chen Xi. Chen Xi was obviously not ready to explain anything about Wang Lingzhi's simplicity and continued to introduce Lin Heng, but did not specifically explain that this was his brother-in-law. Xie Qian just thought it was an ordinary general in the army. Without asking more, he nodded as saying hello, and then walked out of the camp.

Chen Xi gave Lin Heng a face-to-face message to him: "I'll send General Lin to escort Xie Ge Lao back to Beijing, and I will write a letter to send it to the Ministry of War..."

"No need!"

Xie Qian suddenly stopped, turned his head and waved his hand, indicating that Chen Xi would not have to work hard, "Your affairs are all for me. Just fight this battle and drive the Tatar soldiers out of the capital, and return safely!"

According to the rules, when Chen Xi leads troops back to Beijing, he must write a report on his duties to the Ministry of War and asks the Ministry of War to issue marching and combat arrangements.

But now, Xie Qian made a promise, meaning that Chen Xi ignored the Ministry of War and was responsible for it, so that Chen Xi could command the battle without any scruples without obeying the court's instructions.

Chen Xi knew that the most important thing Xie Qian did for him was to support him in the court and resolve troubles beyond the war.

Chen Xi bowed to Xie Qian and personally sent Xie Qian to the entrance of the camp. Originally, Chen Xi asked Xie Qian to take a carriage, but Xie Qian was talking about the young man and insisted on riding a horse. Chen Xi could not twist it, so he could only make someone prepare a gentle horse for Xie Qian.

After Xie Qian left the camp under the escort of hundreds of cavalry including Lin Heng, Chen Xi raised his head and looked at the Xizhimen of the capital in the southeast. He stopped for a long time but did not leave.

"Sir, it's not too early, it's time to go back and rest!"

Yunliu appeared behind Shen Xi at some point.

Chen Xi looked at Yun Liu without saying anything. He knew that Yun Liu appeared in the central army's tent to serve tea. With Xie Qian's experience, he could naturally distinguish male and female, and thus know the existence of her and Xier, which made Chen Xi feel that Yun Liu was very scheming.

Originally, Chen Xi was about to take Yunliu and Xier into the mansion, but after this incident, he hesitated... He didn't want a woman with ulterior motives and complex background to enter his house, so that the backyard would be in turmoil.

"Um."

Chen Xi responded and turned around and headed towards the central army's tent.

Even if his mind is in a mess at this time, he must hurry up and rest, because Chen Xi knew that in a few hours, a big battle might begin. He must keep his mind clear so that he can respond to various emergencies and not make any moves.

...

...

November 9th.

The morning sun was rising, and the wind was blowing outside the Xizhimen in the capital. On the withered yellow and white land, a camp with tight defense rose from the ground. Looking down from the head of the Xizhimen, the camp was well defense. Although it was not protected by four walls, it was adapted to local conditions and was backed by the Nanchang River, plus two trenches that were three meters deep and three meters wide, so there were basically no gaps in defense.

Now Chen Xi's troops are much more uniform than when he was in Tumu Fort. Several artillery positions are facing the two entrances and exits that were left behind. If the Tartars want to open the gap from the passage, Chen Xi only needs to deploy hundreds of musket soldiers at key locations. Basically, the Tartars die as much as they come. The camp is much more solid than ordinary city blocks.

The Tatars did not dare to harass the Tatars for a night because the troops from Chenxi showed their fighting power on the battlefield that made the Tatars desperate.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Xie Ge Lao!"

"Honey Mr. Zhang."

Early in the morning, Prince Zhu Houzhao led Xie Qian and Zhang Mao to the top of Xizhimen, saying that it was inspecting military affairs, but in fact, the naughty child was specifically looking at the situation of Chen Xi's military use last night. When he found that there were no traces of war outside the city, the king's soldiers only built an indestructible camp. Zhu Houzhao was disappointed and complained: "So, Mr. Chen, since he has brought the troops back, why didn't he wiped out all the Tartars? Unfortunately, I can't lead the troops out to meet him... Mr. Zhang, can you prepare dozens of cavalry for me?"

Zhang Mao frowned and asked, "What does the prince want to do?"

What Zhu Houzhao thought was to take dozens of cavalry out of the city to find Chen Xi. He didn't care about the dangers and just wanted to fight side by side with Chen Xi. Since he could not transfer troops from the city, he would go to the Chen Xi military camp alone and ask Chen Xi to allocate troops to him.

Zhu Houzhao, who was young, had a heart full of his mind and his mind, and how to show off his heroes. As for the country and the country, it was too far away for him.

Xie Qian looked at the prince. He knew very well what the naughty child was thinking about. Even if he didn't know before, he now thought about the naughty child's thoughts and immediately refused sternly: "Northern enemy soldiers are watching the side, and the city gate must not be opened easily. The prince should not think about leading troops out of the city!"

Zhu Houzhao protested dissatisfiedly: "Isn't even possible to think about it? Mr. Xie, you are so domineering... What if the Tartars withdraw their troops?"

Xie Qian sneered and replied: "Get out of the troops and talk about the withdrawal of troops!"

Zhu Houzhao pouted and looked angry, but he was not so angry in his heart, because Chen Xi, as his incarnation, went to the border to achieve a series of great victory. Now Chen Xi is outside the capital. He brought himself into the perspective of Chen Xi and truly felt the wonderful taste of leading troops to fight.

The naughty child thought to himself: "I will sooner or later be the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. I will definitely be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the future to personally exterminate the remnants of the Mongol Yuan. At that time, Mr. Chen will be the Grand Marshal of the Army for me. Our master and disciple cooperate with Wujian, killing the Tartars to escape and seal the wolf's residence, just around the corner!"

...

...

Chen Xi is holding a pre-war mobilization meeting in the camp of Wang Jun outside the city.

The generals were basically here in the central army's tent.

Among these people, Wang Lingzhi is the most glorious. Although he knows nothing about military strategies, his bravery makes everyone present respectful. Such an unstoppable killing god is almost a call for the wind and rain on the battlefield. Most of the Tartars, from soldiers to generals, claim to be brave, but it is difficult for Wang Lingzhi to take two moves. It is easy to imagine how big the attack on the enemy's aura is.

"Mr. Shen, it's a very cold weather, so staying outside the city is not a big deal. Since our mission to serve the king has been successfully completed, when will we not enter the capital at this time?"

Zhang Yong returned to the tent yesterday and was frozen all night. He thought that the capital was under his nose, but he could not go back to the soft pillow of the high bed. The more he thought about it, he became more angry. So he took advantage of the military meeting to attack and prepared to force Chen Xi to allow everyone to enter the city with public opinion.

Chen Xi looked around and asked, "What do you think?"

Chen Xi was not busy scolding Zhang Yong directly, but asked what others meant. He wanted to use the mouths of the people present to make Zhang Yong retreat.

Hu Songyue took the initiative to make a statement: "Mr. Shen, do you need to say it? The Tartars are right in front of us. If we retreat to the capital, our military achievements may not be ours. Even if we want to win a war, we will not be able to stay under your command. Since that is the case, it is better to stay outside the city, obey your orders, and keep them so that the Tartars know that it is easy to get in and go out!"

“Yes, yes!”

The generals in the big tent were, in the past, full of fear of war and not becoming a deserter would be better.
Chapter completed!
