Chapter 338 Qi Gang Arrives

On the evening of the 14th, Xiao Jingchuan summoned all the generals to the provincial government to discuss military affairs.

After the military supervisor finished his discussion, Xiao Lang saw that Qi Gang, who was summoned early by the God of Misfortune, had not arrived yet. He became anxious and ordered Gu Changting to bring a team of soldiers to meet him.

Even though there is no major chaos in Jinan city right now, it is inevitable that someone will do something in the dark alleys at night.

If something happens to Qi Gang, the situation will be dire!

After receiving the order from Changting, he acted decisively and trotted off. As soon as he waved his hand to greet the gatekeeper of the yamen, he was ready to leave!
Suddenly!

In front of the government office, Death Star and Qi Gang happened to rush in one after another at this time!

"Commander-in-chief!"

Qi Gang followed the Death Star, dismounted from his horse at the gate, and walked quickly into the courtyard and hall until he arrived in front of everyone.

"Ah, Overseer!"

"Generals!"

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long!"

After entering the eaves of the hall, Qi Gang took a breath, bowed deeply, and showed a look of shame.

"Hey, Qi, Qi Gang, what are you doing?"

"How did you get all this blood?!" Xiao jumped up from the stool.

"Unfortunate Star, what happened?!"

Seeing Qi Gang in such a miserable state, Xiao Jingchuan became very concerned, so he turned his head hurriedly and asked where the unlucky star was!
"Ah, don't worry, General!"

"No, it's okay!"

"This is not my blood!"

"Let me tell the story!" Qi Gang didn't want to be blamed for being unlucky, and he also knew that the man was not good at speaking, so he simply brought the topic to himself and started to tell the story.

"That's right!"

"Just now, when Death Star went to call his subordinates, he happened to meet the scout from the north returning to report the news!"

"It is said that when the ferry was crossing Jiaohe Bay, it was hijacked by bandits."

"He was afraid of delaying the delivery of intelligence, so he rushed out, but unfortunately, he was pierced by a hidden arrow in the back of his waist!"

"So, when he arrived in Jinan City, he was already near death and fainted!"

"Just now, I was dealing with this intelligence matter, so, so I got bloodstained and delayed the time!"

"I have delayed the military affairs of the governor, please forgive me!"

Qi Gang spoke clearly and explained the matter clearly. At the end, he again apologized and took responsibility awkwardly.

After hearing this, how could Xiao Lang blame him? !

"Hey! What kind of words are you talking about?"

"What's the point of forgiving sins?"

"What crime have you committed?!"

"Hey, that's right!"

"You just mentioned that scout brother, what happened to him?!"

"Can there be any cure?" Xiao Lang expressed his concern.

Immediately, he turned around and looked at the long courtyard.

"Well, Changting, you should go to the military doctor's office in front of the alley and ask Kong Dechun, Doctor Kong, to take another trip!"

"When we get to Qi Gang's place, he must be saved and cured for me!" Xiao Wei handled the matter properly.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changting, who was standing beside the yamen gate, came and went like the wind. In the blink of an eye, he received the order and rushed out to complete his mission!

"Uh, no, no."

At this moment, Qi Gang was quite embarrassed to see General Xiao mobilizing such a large army, so he made an excuse.

But he saw that after Changting received the order, he left in a hurry without even turning his head.

So I could only feel sad and let it go.

"Haha, okay!"

"It's such a trivial matter for the subordinates, and I have to trouble the commander-in-chief to worry about it again!" Qi Gang felt a mixture of shame and emotion at this moment, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

"Eh? Human life is of great importance!"

"Besides, we are all brothers, so we should do this even more!" "Don't worry, let Changting take care of the rest!"

"Come, look at what you've done. You look so messy!"

"Pei Zhong, pour Qi Gang a cup of tea. Let him drink some first to calm down!"

While Xiao Wei was speaking, he stretched out his arm and took Qi Gang two steps towards the generals' table.

"Ah? This is impossible. This is really not possible."

"Oh, good, good!"

"Sorry to bother you, General Sun!"

Qi Gang was flattered. He bent down and took the tea bowl with both hands. He looked at the tea in the cup and drank it all in one gulp.

"Well, tonight, I summoned all of you generals to discuss military affairs. Why did I also call Qi Gang over?"

"Haha, actually it's because of the specific deployment below. We still need the intelligence support from Qi Gang before we can go on!" Xiao Kan explained.

Seeing that the commander-in-chief intended to bring up the topic, Qi Gang also understood the situation and quickly responded.

"Ah, yes!"

"Ashamed, ashamed!"

"I apologize for keeping the commander-in-chief and the other generals waiting for so long!"

"Well, then, I will follow the commander-in-chief's wishes and tell you about the specific situation in the northern border and the southwest of the capital in recent days!"

Qi Gang understood what was going on, and Xiao Jingchuan was relieved, so he nodded to indicate that he should continue.

“Yes, that’s it!”

"Earlier, our Xiao family army joined forces and advanced eastward from Zhending Prefecture at the beginning of the month. The Jiannu in the capital had more than a month to rest and recuperate. With the northern Zhili and the vicinity of the capital basically cleared, we finally had time to spare!"

"So under the order of Prince Jiannu Rui Dorgon, he sent Gushan Ezhen Yechen's troops to enter Shanxi from the northern part of Shanxi, passing through Huaiqing and entering Shanxi!"

"We will also dispatch Aisin-Gioro Ajige's troops to continue leading the Western Expedition Army to plunder southwestwards!"

"And such a large army has been on the march for nearly half a month!" Qi Gang paused to take a breath.

"Well, the news I can confirm is that the Jiannu Ye Chen's army in northern Shanxi had already reached Huai'an and Datong five days ago, and their swords were heading straight for Yanmen Pass!"

"And the Ajige tribe that we fought before has also swallowed up Zhenbao and Bao, and the army is continuing to advance to the southwest!"

"Cross Jingxing Road and head straight to Taiyuan!"

"Haha, how can you say this commander-in-chief is a commander-in-chief?"

"I just received this news from the southwest of Ji yesterday!"

"In Sanpo, Zhending and Baoding, considering the distance they traveled, I'm afraid that this change in the situation must have occurred at least ten days ago!"

"The commander-in-chief has seen the opportunity and led his army eastward. He should withdraw from the southwest of the capital and head straight for Shandong as soon as possible!"

"It's really a stroke of genius that he was able to get out of here just in time!"

"If we had gone down a few days later, we would have encountered this powerful enemy again!"

"It's hard to predict what will happen then!"

While Qi Gang was reporting the military intelligence, he also marveled at Xiao Jingchuan's miraculous military prowess and praised him highly.

Hearing this, Li Huchen seemed to become interested as well.

"Oh, yes!"

"Who is that warlord?!"

"Old God, you can tell the future!"

"No one likes me, Li Huchen!"

"But this General Xiao, I really admire him from the bottom of my heart!"

Hu Chen's eyes widened as he yelled with every word he said.

Hearing this, Xiao Lang smiled secretly. Although he was pleased in his heart, he still looked impatient and tried to interrupt others.

"Go! Go! Go!"

"Stop talking nonsense to me!"

"Look everyone, there is nothing there. Li Zicheng, the King of Rebellion, can only deal with those rotten old troops of the Ming court!"

"Seeing our defeated general, Jiannu Ajige, he was like a mouse seeing a cat, and he couldn't help but beat him!"
