Yu Hengchen stood at the gate of the Polu Army camp and looked at the dozens of fully armored soldiers stationed like javelins.
He couldn't help but nodded.
Well, Zhao Lie's soldiers at least looked good, like the adopted sons of elite soldiers.
The sound of thumping horse hooves on the ground came from far and near.
Yu Hengchen and his followers stepped aside and saw more than a thousand fully armored cavalry filing out of the camp, sending dust all over the sky along the way.
Yu Hengchen waved his sleeves lightly to sweep away the dust, but his eyes were fixed on the large group of Polu cavalry galloping away.
The bodies of these soldiers naturally undulated with the beating of their horses, completely unaware of the stiff and clumsy riding posture of the Ming army soldiers.
All of these soldiers were covered with armor, and all even had face armor.
The face armor was painted with images of ferocious ghost beasts, making them appear fierce and extremely powerful, unmatched by other Ming armies.
The tall horse on which the cavalry sits is half a head taller than an ordinary war horse.
It runs with great strides and an elegant gait.
Well, this Zhao Lie is not like other Ming generals.
He is willing to spend a lot of money on the army and has great goals.
He is not a greedy and short-sighted person.
Yu Hengchen was young, that is, he was thirty years old.
He had achieved the title of a civil servant at the age of twenty, and he was in a high mood.
However, he failed to pass the imperial examination twice, which made him feel a little discouraged.
Coupled with the embarrassment at home, If there is no other way, then find an opportunity to enter the scene.
It was through the recommendation of his mentor that he had the opportunity to join Yan Jizu.
However, in the past two years, he had only been working as a penman, and his status was not important in Yan Jizu's mind.
After all, he was too young and had little experience.
However, this time Yu Hengchen's judgment of the situation was extremely accurate.
As expected, Zhao Lie besieged Qingzhou City and did not commit any crimes against Jieqiu in other areas of Shandong.
He made it clear that he wanted to resolve his personal grudges with Liu Zeqing.
Yan Jizu was extremely scared at this time.
If he reported it to the court according to Liu Zeqing's statement, the matter would be too big.
Zhao Lie, who was accustomed to fighting, rebelled, and the panic inside and outside the court could be imagined.
The imperial court and the emperor will definitely gather their troops and send people to continue to investigate.
In the end, well, Zhao Lie will attack Qingzhou and confront Liu Zeqing due to personal grudges.
Yes, it is definitely a serious crime for Zhao Lie to raise troops without edicts, but Zhao Lie did not raise troops without edicts once or twice.
He is not guilty of this crime.
But Zhao Lie didn't resist.
Yan Jizu's report was an endorsement of Liu Zeqing's cunning.
In the end, he left a reputation for being uncontrollable and fearful in the face of trouble.
He was considered a different kind of Jian in the emperor's heart.
Yu Hengchen's advice had the effect of turning the tide for Yan Jizu's career.
At this point, Yu Hengchen's status in Yan Jizu's heart has skyrocketed, and becoming the chief think tank is just around the corner.
Zhao Lie fought against Liu Zeqing in Qingzhou, and Yan Jizu was very happy.
He was almost tricked by Liu Zeqing, a bastard.
If there was a chance that Liu Zeqing would be so defeated that he couldn't stand up, Yan Jizu would secretly applaud, well, secretly.
But now Zhao Lie and Liu Zeqing are fighting in Qingzhou under his rule.
As the governor of Shandong, he can't just sit idly by and ignore it.
If this happens in Denglai, it will be Chen Yingyuan's business.
He will never intervene until they are dead. good.
For this reason, this matter must be dealt with, but in the current situation, Zhao Lie will not listen to anyone.

It is not that Chen Yingyuan and Zhang Guoyuan have not tried to persuade him, but Zhao Lie must have ignored it.
He, Yan Jizu, does not think that his face is bigger than Chen Yingyuan's. .
Since Zhao Lie would not give him the face to stop his troops and return to Denglai, then Yan Jizu would not condescend to come and be humiliated.
If his arrival could make Zhao Lie stop his troops, of course he would do it once, otherwise it would be too shameless.
So Yan Jizu sent Yu Hengchen with one purpose: to find out what Zhao Lie was thinking and where he wanted to go in Qingzhou.
Yu Hengchen also arrived outside Qingzhou City in a few days in a hurry.
Now he is waiting for Zhao Lie's summons.
When Yu Hengchen was led into the tent by the guards, Zhao Lie had just finished putting on his armor and had not been there for a few days.
He wanted to visit Qingzhou City.
Yu Hengchen saw a tall young general wearing bright white armor looking at him with a smile behind the case.
Yu Hengchen took a few steps forward and bowed deeply, "Student Yu Hengchen pays homage to Jing Haibo."
Yu Hengchen also had the pedantry of a scholar from the Ming Dynasty, and he had never been ashamed of vulgar warriors.
The warriors he met were indeed greedy and vulgar warriors.
When Yu Hengchen met these people, he would never show respect to them.
But the man in front of him, Yu Hengchen, was convinced by Shi Zhou.
This warrior had fought tooth and nail with the rebel Japanese pirates for ten years, and was invincible.
He had never greedily exploited the soldiers and civilians under his command.
With this information, he was approaching Shandong is very clear.
The emperor and the gentry were all dissatisfied with Zhao Lie because he was unruly, disobedient and disobedient.
No one mentioned Zhao Lie's greed for military pay and squeezing the people.
Is there such a general who drank the blood of soldiers and provided food, wages and seeds for his subordinates to equalize the land?
In addition, Zhao Lie spent a large amount of money on his soldiers.
All of this can't be said.
Zhao Lie was greedy for food and salary, and exploiting military households was an extremely ridiculous crime.
Hengchen had never seen or heard of such a military general, and Yu Hengchen was extremely impressed.
Of course, he also had his own judgment on why Zhao Lie was so different.
Did he have other strange ambitions?
But this did not delay him from respectfully paying homage to Zhao Lie.
"Mr.
Yu, please sit down."
Zhao Liexu gave him a hand and was polite.
"Mr.
Yu, you are tired from poking your horse.
You can rest in the camp now.
I will go to Qingzhou City for a visit.
I will talk to you in detail when I return."
"Sir, I have a gracious request.
Can you accompany the army to Qingzhou City for a visit?"
Yu Hengchen smiled and cupped his hands.
"Since Mr.
Yu insists on going regardless of the fatigue of the pommel horse, of course there is no problem, let's go together."
Zhao Lie said with a smile.
It is necessary to tell the truth, and it just calms the fragile hearts of Shandong officials and tells them that the Qingzhou incident is just a personal grudge.
Of course, in the future, if someone insults Zhao Lie and the Polu Army like Liu Zeqing, he will also end up with the same fate.
He Zhao Lie It will not be tolerated.

Zhao Lie and Yu Hengchen arrived at Qingzhou City accompanied by five hundred guards.
At this time, Qingzhou City surprised Yu Hengchen.
Qingzhou City is also a state city that is covered with bricks for nearly ten miles, but now the bricks are basically broken, exposing the rammed earth inside.
However, these specks of remaining city bricks are stuck to the city wall like dog skin plaster, which is extremely ugly and eye-catching, making Qingzhou City look extremely ugly.
The towering city is full of craters and deep craters, and the walls are full of large and small cracks.
Some people believe that Qingzhou City looks like an abandoned city that has been abandoned for decades.
Following Zhao Lie's footsteps, Yu Hengchen came to the back of the Polu Army's artillery position, only to see dozens of dark steel bodies lying quietly on the ground in front.
Many soldiers of the Polu Army stepped into this position, carrying medicine packages and projectiles.
After a while, they stood neatly around the cannon, waiting for the order from General Bai.
President Bai trotted up to Zhao Lie and saluted, "Commander Bing, all members of the artillery team have entered the position.
Please give me your instructions."
"Start the bombardment.
Pay attention to heat dissipation."
Zhao Lie ordered in return.
Mr.
Bai hurriedly saluted again and left.
After a moment, the artillery began to fire, and the sound of dozens of artillery roaring together was so loud and awe-inspiring.
A large plume of smoke and dust suddenly rose up in front, with firelight flickering faintly in the middle.
Most of the gunners were hidden in it and could not be seen.
The roar of the artillery covered up all the sounds, and there was only the reverberation of the roar in Yu Hengchen's ears.
His eardrums really hurt, making him feel dizzy.
He watched with his own eyes a large plume of smoke and dust rising from the top of Qingzhou City a few miles away.
More than ten cannons hit the city, and the entire city was shrouded in sand and dust and turned gray.
The gunners of the Polu Army brushed the chambers, put in the bags and projectiles, and then lightly compacted them.
Then they waited for General Bai's order to light the matchlocks.
Dozens of cannons roared again, and the walls of Qingzhou City were once again covered with dust.
It has to be looming.
Seeing the situation in front of him, Yu Hengchen thought that even if he was in Liu Zeqing's position, there was nothing he could do.
He could only be beaten and unable to fight back until the city was destroyed by artillery.
He would either be forced to leave the city for a decisive battle or fight in the streets in the city.
Anyway, it will be a situation of destruction in the end, but Mr.
Yan Jizu does not want such a situation to occur.
"Mr.
Zhao, my lord has sent me here to ask if you and General Liu Zeqing can call off the war.
There are many things we can talk about.
Peace is worth it."
Yu Hengchen cupped his hands and said, of course the words were shouted, and the voice he shouted with all his strength could barely be heard clearly by Zhao Lie.
"I, the general, value peace.
I sent my men to make peace and asked Liu Zeqing not to harm others.
However, this thief beat my subordinates with sticks, so I could only send out a large army to attack him."
Zhao Lie spread his hands and said that you really can't blame me for this matter.
You seem to have beaten the people Liu Zeqing sent to make peace with you later.
Yu Hengchen slandered, of course he was not stupid enough to say that he would come out.
"My lord, what do you think of this?
Lord Zhao tells you the conditions for you to stop the troops and make peace.

I will go to Qingzhou on behalf of Lord Yan to persuade Mr.
Liu to agree to come down.
What do you think, sir?"
This is the purpose of Yu Hengchen's coming.
On the border of Shandong, the Shandong Army is surrounded and beaten by the guest Denglai Army.
Is there anything more embarrassing than this?
Yes, the guest army Denglai army broke through the city and finally captured the Shandong general soldiers alive.
It was simply embarrassing to the whole Ming Dynasty.
Yan Jizu wanted to try his best to avoid this situation.
"It seems that Master Yan is still quite concerned about the war."
Zhao Lie smiled slightly.
He knew very well what Yan Jizu had in mind.
To put it bluntly, it was to suppress the situation.
Once there was a problem in the officialdom at home and abroad in ancient and modern times, suppression was the first thing to be done.
It was no exception.
"As long as Liu Zeqing, a rogue soldier, can agree to a few conditions, the Denglai army will withdraw."
Yu Hengchen's eyes lit up and his mind became clear
