From Huaiyuan to Rongxian, and then to Maping, Liuzhou Prefecture City, Chenxi marched very smoothly.

Even Rongxian occupied by the rebels, the Ming army restored the county town without any resistance.

This time, Chenxi's army was a clear goal, which was to detour Liuzhou Prefecture to Lingui, Guilin Prefecture City. He would not stay too much along the prefectures and counties. Usually, he would only station for a day and then continue on his journey.

Arriving at Liuzhou Prefecture City, the soldiers who had already been exhausted came through mountains and rivers needed some rest. Moreover, Luocheng, Liucheng, Luorong and other counties around Liuzhou Prefecture had been haunted by rebels before. Chen Xi wanted to strengthen the defense of Liuzhou Prefecture City, stabilize the rear and then lift the siege of Guilin Prefecture.

On the day Chenxi arrived at Liuzhou Prefecture City, the prefect Huang Weicheng personally went out to welcome the city, and prepared the items to reward the three armies. He led the people in the city to welcome them with great fanfare at the west gate of Liuzhou Prefecture City.

After passing through the prefecture for so long, Chen Xi felt for the first time that he was a patrol place and was a little proud. When the soldiers entered the city, they were arrogant and straight, as if the army was victorious and triumphant, trying to show their majestic state in front of the people.

Chen Xi rode on a tall horse and saw Huang Weicheng leading the people to kneel on both sides of the road. He felt that Liuzhou Prefecture had done too much time and thought to himself: "Is it because Liuzhou Prefecture City was attacked by rebels and the people were full of expectations for the arrival of the official army, which made today's situation happen?"

Chen Xi did not prepare to stay in Liuzhou Prefecture for a long time. Because the team spent the Mid-Autumn Festival during the marching, Chen Xi planned to rest in Liuzhou Prefecture for two days before embarking on the road, just to make up for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

On the night he entered the city, Huang Weicheng personally came to the military camp to visit Chen Xi and introduced the situation of the rebels within the jurisdiction of Liuzhou Prefecture in detail, hoping that Chen Xi's troops could intimidate the rebels and maintain the stability of Liuzhou Prefecture.

Huang Weicheng said: "...I have been an official in the local area for many years. I never thought that Shangshu Chen would be so talented. He was already at the high position of Shangshu at a young age. This time, the lord led his troops to the south to fight, and his grace was invincible, which was indeed the emperor's grace..."

They were all unnutritious scenes. Chen Xi went in and out of the right ear, and did not take Huang Weicheng's words at all. After listening for a while, he raised his hand to interrupt Huang Weicheng's words and asked, "Does Huang have a detailed map of this official at hand for me to have a look?"

"map?"

Huang Weicheng thought for a while and then replied, "There are, but... there are many local map albums that are not detailed. I wonder what the purpose of Shangshu Chen is coming?"

What is the use of the map?

Chen Xi was speechless about this question. He frowned and said, "Prince Huang, don't ask more questions. This official will be useful. Two days later, at noon, I will lead my troops to leave Liuzhou Prefecture City, and the entire army will be rested tomorrow. If you have any questions, you can come to report to me, otherwise... see you again when you see him off!"

Chen Xi issued an order to expel guests, but Huang Weicheng seemed to not understand and wanted to continue talking nonsense. However, at this time, Su Jingyang and Wang He had already set up camp and came to report to Chen Xi, interrupting Huang Weicheng's long-winded words.

Because Wang He and Su Jingyang were not generals in Guangxi and had no direct contact with Guilin Mansion, Huang Weicheng, as the fourth-rank magistrate, did not seem to be respectful when he saw two second-rank commanders, but just nodded slightly.

Chen Xi waved his hand: "Master Huang, I have military affairs to discuss. If you have nothing to do, you can ask me to go back!"

Huang Weicheng then left, and when the others left, Wang He was a little angry: "Sir, the soldiers sent from the local area are all moldy food, and they don't take us seriously at all!"

Seeing that Su Jingyang was also full of indignation, Chen Xi couldn't help but be surprised... Why is Huang Weicheng so unreliable to do things? He didn't even know that the food collected to reward the three armies was moldy? Then the rest of the labor supplies obviously had no quality at all.

Su Jingyang asked: "Sir, do you need to punish the relevant officials who caused the accident?"

Perhaps it was because Huang Weicheng didn't even say hello before, which made Su Jingyang very angry. Although he was a military position, he was much higher than Huang Weicheng in terms of official rank, and the other party was an official in Guangxi, a place where he saw it as "poor mountains and bad waters". Now he was ignored in person and was a little embarrassed.

Chen Xidao: "The punishment is temporarily spared. I don't want to cause trouble in the local area, so as not to be said that I led troops to quell the rebellion and liked to fight with civil servants. It sounds bad to spread. The things to be sent to reward the three armies originally reflected the local people's desire to support the army, but now they are using moldy grain to make up the numbers... Let's do this, just send them back to the government office without saying anything. I think Huang Weicheng should understand what's going on!"

Chen Xi didn't want to pay attention to local affairs.

Huang Weicheng had no obligation to reward the three armies, but now he actually sent moldy food, which is suspected of being a spoiled. If Chen Xi wanted to punish him, some of his troops were unknown... People kindly sent you things, but it was not an errand sent by the court. What's the point of punishing him?

After discussing the matter, Chen Xiping retreated and went to rest. After marching continuously, he was also exhausted.

...

...

Early in the morning the next day, just as Chen Xi came out of the tent, the guards came to report that Huang Weicheng had been waiting outside the tent of the Central Army for half an hour.

Chen Xi blamed, "Why don't you know this official?"

The guards were a little embarrassed: "Sir, it was the magistrate Huang who said he would not disturb him. He said that he was over-training the troops..."

Chen Xi waved his hand and told him not to continue. It was obvious that Huang Weicheng was not exposed in his work, but how could such a rigorous person send some moldy food and labor troops?

Chen Xi was very curious. Could it be that Huang Weicheng wanted to use this to test it? What is the purpose?

When he arrived outside the central army tent, Huang Weicheng knelt on the ground, drooping with his head down. His official uniform seemed very old, and there were patches on the hem, which seemed a bit desolate. Chen Xi walked over and shouted "Prince Huang". Huang Weicheng opened his eyes and looked at Chen Xi. Perhaps because his eyes were too small, he didn't see the spirit inside.

"Is there anything wrong?"

Chen Xi asked in discomfort.

Huang Weicheng stood up staggeringly, his face looked a little ugly, and asked, "Shangshu Chen, for some reason, you were sending some moldy grain to the government office yesterday, but you need the help of the officials to replace it?"

Chen Xi was very surprised that Huang Weicheng dared to turn the tables. What is the situation?

Chen Xi narrowed his eyes and looked at Huang Weicheng. Huang Weichen had an innocent expression on his face, which didn't look like a disguise. Chen Xi thought for a while and asked, "Master Huang, weren't the food you sent to send?"

Huang Weicheng replied in surprise: "Shangshu Chen, you can't... talk nonsense. What the subordinates sent you the best food. How could your military officer sign and accept it in public?

Chen Xi really wants to kick it up. Since you never admit it, don’t pretend to be pitiful in front of the Central Army tent. It seems like I was deliberately wronging you... It’s okay, if you act like this, are you too idle and have nothing to do?

Chen Xi didn't bother with Huang Weicheng. While lifting the curtain and walking into the big tent, he said, "Since the prefect Huang doesn't admit it, that's fine. The food is burned on the spot. I'm afraid that even animals won't eat these moldy foods, and they won't live long after eating them..."

Huang Weicheng took over the conversation: "What Mr. Chen said was that those foods were indeed not for animals to eat..."

Can't give food to animals but use it to work hard?

If Chen Xi could not hear that Huang Weicheng was deliberately causing trouble at this time, he would be too broad-minded and big-minded. As for the reason why this dog official came to find fault, Chen Xi didn't know, but it was expected that it should be related to personal grievances. If not, it would be the civil servant group behind the scenes.

Chen Xi ignored Huang Weicheng and went straight into the tent. Huang Weicheng wanted to follow in and continue talking to Chen Xi, but was stopped outside by the guards.

Huang Weicheng scolded: "I'm so brave, I don't even look at who I am!"

The guards don’t care about which one they are. The Heavenly King must go to the Central Army’s tent and go through Chen Xi’s permission in advance unless Chen Xi explains in advance.

Huang Weicheng was about to yell at the guards, but Su Jingyang brought the guards over. Seeing this attitude, Su Jingyang was angry: "What is Huang's magistrate doing? Is it that you still want to break through in the tent?"

"you!"

Huang Weicheng stared at Su Jingyang, perhaps feeling that the man in front of him was incomparable to his fourth-rank civil servant, and he wanted to yell, but then he thought that Su Jingyang was the commander of Huguang, and Chen Xi personally brought the general to quell the rebellion, so he restrained himself, shook his sleeves and left angrily.

"I don't know where I'm used to it!" Su Jingyang said disgustedly, and then entered the central army's tent. Before he could stand in front of the general's case, Chen Xi had sorted out the copywriting on the table and raised his head to instruct: "Send the orders to the three armies, and all of them will set off at noon today!"

Su Jingyang was a little surprised: "Sir, what did you say...?"

Chen Xi repeated again: "Now I am going to lead the troops to fight. You just need to convey military orders. This marching is not a day or two. Is it better to use my official to explain it in detail?"

Su Jingyang was puzzled: "Sir, why is this? Just because of the prefect named Huang? He, a fourth-rank civil servant in a remote place, sent moldy food. Could it be that he still has the right to do it? If he dares to do anything randomly, he will see that I will not kill him directly, so he will regard it as a sacrificial flag to suppress the rebellion!"

Chen Xi said angrily: "If you bite you, can you still bite it back? At this critical moment, I don't want to know why this person is so arrogant with me. When the rebellion is put down, I will deal with him well. But if you are entangled with him at this time, it will be irresponsible to the court. Could it be that you want to be a sinner of the Ming Dynasty?"

"this……"
