Chapter 275 Huangsha Mengjiayu

Time has come to the end of March. At this time, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the spring breeze has blown the green Hanhai grassland. In more than ten days, the ever-changing Mobei finally ushered in a short period of tranquility.

The war is over for the time being, but for Tiemo, there are still a lot of troublesome things. Although Warat expressed submission, there is a big question mark over how much sincerity some of these tribes have. After discussion, it was decided to send Org to garrison in Juyanhai, and at the same time, Ruan Sangou garrisoned the new Guining and ruled Wolf Mountain.

Tiemo was a little worried about Ruan Sangou, because he was too young after all, and his prestige was not enough. But now I really can't find a more suitable person, after the monkey incident, Tiemo has a deep understanding of the importance of stability. Guining City has an important location, connecting the north and south, this Guining garrison, the ability can be poor, but it must be absolutely loyal. In short, there can be no such thing as a monkey.

Originally, the first thing to consider was the sand sculpture, the sand sculpture is steady, scheming, and prestige. can consult with him, but he said that he is not willing to go to Guining City, and the sand sculpture seems to be more willing to lead the special combat team to do things everywhere, and he is not interested in this kind of thing at all. Thinking about it carefully, if you really want to fight, you really can't do without sand sculptures, so you threw this burden to Ruan Sangou.

As for Ruan Sangou's original position, it was handed over to Chen Yaofeng, and Tiemo was quite optimistic about this guy who had repeatedly risen in war. As long as he tempers it well, this guy will definitely become a fierce warrior in his own right.

The stall was spread out, and when it was time to employ people, Tiemo found that there were still too few people under his hands who could take on big responsibilities. Talents are rare, pulling the banner of Sun Chengzong, although he has recruited some people, but there is no real talent.

returned to Zhangbei, and the next day, I got a disgusting news. Bai Hangu, the former deputy commander-in-chief of Ningxia, led his troops to join Wang Ziyong, and at this time he was leading his troops to attack the Ningxia military town. Tiemo and the others were disgusted by this news, and Bai Hangu led his soldiers and horses to fight the place where he had been stationed, which was really ironic. There is still a part of the Ningxia military town in the hands of officers and soldiers, Zhang Cunmeng really wants to fight, and he will be able to fight it soon, but he handed over this task to Bai Hangu, and it is clear that he wants to slap the face of the court.

The imperial court was naturally furious, and issued two orders in a row, asking Datong Mansion and Xuanfu to find a way to suppress this matter quickly. Chongzhen's subtext is also very clear, don't seek to quickly exterminate the king for his own use, first destroy this guy who constantly discredits the court. Being in Zhangbei, you can imagine how ugly Chongzhen's face is.

Gao Yingxiang's peasant army poured into Henan and coerced the Central Plains, but Chongzhen was not so angry, because in Chongzhen's eyes, these people were rogues. But what about Bai Hangu, who was the deputy chief soldier of Ningxia, but he repeatedly slapped the face of the imperial court, which was really unbearable.

In this case, Tiemo can only go to Xuanhua once. As the chief soldier of Xuanfu, he has been sitting in Yunfu, which is really a little unreasonable, this time the court continues to issue official documents, so he has to express it.

On March 24 of the third year of Chongzhen, the spring was warm in the north of Jin. Tiemo took Hai Lanzhu and others back to Xuanhua Town, and now Hai Lanzhu is like a big house in the back, and he doesn't shy away from others. Hai Lanzhu was born in the Horqin Department, and he is smart and virtuous, and after a long time, even Aqige and Chang Minyue can't say anything.

Wanquan Division's command office, all the officials of the Xuanfu were present, and there were many familiar faces here, but there were also many fresh faces. It's a shame to say that since taking charge of the Xuan Mansion, this is the first time to preside over the proceedings, and when I glanced over, I found that I couldn't even recognize people, which was really a little embarrassing. Fortunately, with the help of Li Jiasheng, Hei Yunlong and others, it will not be too ugly.

"The imperial court has issued official documents several times, urging us to exterminate the rogues entrenched in northern Shaanxi, what do you think about this matter?"

Although he asked like this, he didn't think so in his heart. According to Tiemo's meaning, don't pay attention to the broken things in northern Shaanxi, and now the civil unrest in Shaanxi is a mess, and it will not be solved at all for a while. In the case of ineffective disaster relief, the liukou is like a leek in the field, cutting stubble after stubble. However, now is not the time for the Yunfu to be guarded, and everything is up to you. As the chief soldier of the Xuanfu, some things have to be discussed with the people below after all.

After a while, Du Hong, the new deputy chief soldier of Xuanfu, said: "Lord General Soldier, my subordinates think that we should respond to the order of the imperial court, and we have to deal with the Khalkha Ministry and deal with the attack of Abadai Khan before, and we have no extra energy. But now, the north is too peaceful, and it is the time to use troops against northern Shaanxi. ”

Du Hong squinted his eyes, the corners of his mouth curled, and there was a slight hint of mockery. Tie Mo couldn't help frowning when he heard this, this is a hidden knife in the cotton, soft and thorny.

Tiemo never felt that everyone in the Xuanfu was of the same mind as him, even when Hou Shilu was in power, the Xuanfu was still divided into two forces. It's just that I didn't expect that the first time I presided over the meeting, someone would follow the problem and talk with a needle.

Tiemo didn't know Du Hong very well, this person was originally on duty in Kaifeng, and after he was promoted to the chief soldier of Xuanfu, he was temporarily transferred to be the deputy chief soldier. It is said that such a newcomer, even if he is the deputy commander-in-chief, should be a talent with his tail between his legs. This guy is good, not only is he not a low-key person, but he does things as soon as he comes up.

Without waiting for Tiemo to speak, Heiyunlong sneered and said: "General Du, the last general thinks what you said is very reasonable, it is better to do this, this time the arduous task of exterminating the Liukou in northern Shaanxi will be handed over to you." The last general is here to wish you a victorious start and exterminate the rogues. ”

"General Hei doesn't have to talk like this, if the chief soldier asks Du to go, Du is duty-bound. As a general of the imperial court, how can he stop because of difficulties if he eats the king's fortune and shares worries for the king? ”

Du Hong was not affected in the slightest, and his words were righteous and awe-inspiring. Tie Mo smiled secretly in his heart, the words are so beautiful, if Lao Tzu doesn't give you some color to see, I really think that Xuanfu is a place for you to go wild casually. Frowning, clapping his hands, Tie Mo smiled heartily: "Okay, good, if I have a few more loyal ministers and good generals like General Du, why worry about the indestructible?" ”

"In this way, this general soldier will ask the imperial court for orders, and Du will lead the troops into northern Shaanxi to exterminate the rogues entrenched on the Hetao Plain!" Tiemo's words, Du Hong was a little confused. Du Hong's shoulders sank, his hands were a little unsure of how to place, and countless thoughts turned in his heart. I just said it casually, but I didn't really want to lead the troops to suppress the bandits, but the words had already been spoken, and I couldn't help but admit it.

Suppressing bandits, Du Hong is not afraid, but Tiemo agreed so happily that he couldn't help but think about it too much. After pondering for a while, Du Hong spoke: "The chief soldier said this, his subordinates have the responsibility to take the order, but should they take the soldiers and horses?" ”

"Hmm..... General Hei has to garrison Zhangjiakou, General Li's cavalry has to take care of the Hanhai grassland, and General Ma has to help guard Yanhai....... In this way, in addition to these three people, the others are to be picked by Mr. Du! ”

Tie Mo smiled at the corner of his mouth, but it made Du Hong's eyelids jump. If it weren't for his identity, Du Hong would have jumped up and cursed. In the entire Xuanfu, the only ones who can really fight are Heiyunlong, Li Jiasheng and Ma Fang, and the rest are not good. Tiemo is good, in a word, these three soldiers and horses are all exempted. Of course, nominally, Yunfu also belongs to Xuanfu, but fools know that the Yunfu army is Tiemo's private soldiers, even if Tiemo is sent to Du Hong, Du Hong will not dare to use it.

Without waiting for Du Hong to speak, Tie Mo straightened his face and glanced at the generals in the room very seriously, "General Du intends to make contributions to the imperial court, I wonder which colleagues are willing to go together?" ”

Except for Hei Yunlong and the others, the remaining dozen generals all sat up straight, their faces stiff. They only felt a chill down their spines, as if a knife would fall on their heads at any moment. At this time, many people also understood that the times have changed, and this is not the time for General Hou to rule.

Chief Tie is using Du Hong's matter to force everyone to stand in line. Du Hong's heart was cold, how could he not see through Tiemo's thoughts? At this time, Du Hong really regretted it a little, if he had known that Tiemo was so difficult, he shouldn't have been so anxious. originally wanted to slowly win over these Xuanfu generals, but Tiemo did not take the usual path, using the topic to play, forcing people to stand in line.

As you can imagine, only three people responded to Du Hong's call. Tie Mo immediately kept these three guys in his heart, he was not Hou Shilu, he was in troubled times, if the soldiers and horses under his hands were not of one mind, they would not want to do anything. In short, the Xuanfu under his rule does not allow such people to have two hearts.

"This is very good, with the help of three generals, I believe that General Du will definitely defeat the Liukou. This is going to northern Shaanxi, the cost of materials is indispensable, and this general army will try its best to fight for you! ”

Tie Mo's words choked back all the words in Du Hong's stomach. Du Hong almost fainted, what does this mean? This means that you Du Hong go to suppress bandits, and you should find your own way to deal with logistics. Fight for the imperial court, Du Hong is not stupid, now the treasury is empty, the internal treasury is also empty, and the imperial court can take out 100,000 stone of grain to burn high incense.

Why is it difficult to suppress bandits in Shanxi? It is not because the imperial court is short of materials and is unable to provide disaster relief, and it is also unable to mobilize heavy troops to gather in Shaanxi.

.......

On March 27, Du Hong led nearly 5,000 soldiers and horses to the west. As soon as he left, Tie Mo's face instantly turned cold, "Hmph, Tie Mou has just become the chief soldier of the Xuanfu, and the cabinet has sent people to fight for power with Lao Tzu." I think that General Hou was too kind to them in the past, and I really thought that our Xuanfu was easy to provoke, and anyone could intervene. ”

Black Cloud Dragon leaned over, his eyes narrowed, and he looked at the figure in the distance, "Do you want the last general to send someone to follow you and find a chance to kill this guy." ”

"No, no matter what Du Hong says, he is also the nominal deputy commander-in-chief, if he dies in an unknown way, I'm afraid there will be trouble. And even if he dies, someone else will come to replace him. Some people in the imperial court will not rest assured of us after all, who doesn't want to share a piece of the cake of Xuanfu? Tiemo shook his head and walked slowly, "Just pay more attention in the future, as for the bandits, do you think Du Hong can really take back the Hetao?" ”

Heiyunlong and the others were stunned, and then smiled disdainfully: "Just him? It would be nice if he could come back alive, and take back the loop? That Zhang Cunmeng is not easy to mess with. ”

......

Passing by Datong Mansion, Du Hong sent someone to inform him, intending to ask the soldiers and horses of Datong Mansion to help, but Man Gui closed the door and disappeared, and Lou Daji and others invited Du Hong's people out like flies. Datong, Man Gui sat in the chair, constantly scratching his head, "What is this Du Hong thinking?" Let's help him hit the loop, who does he think he is? ”

Man Gui is not stupid enough to see the situation clearly, Du Hong, the old man, made it clear that he was sent by the cabinet to fight for power, and in this matter, he must be with Tie Mo. If Du Hong is allowed to get the Xuanfu done, the next step for the cabinet is to build the Datong Mansion.

On the first day of the fourth month, Du Hong led his troops to approach Shenmu, but when he arrived, he found that the soldiers and horses of Datong Mansion who were originally stationed nearby had quietly withdrawn. Du Hong is called a gas, what is this called? Lao Tzu came to fight the Hetao, if you don't help, forget it, and withdraw the garrison, hide behind and watch the excitement, what does it mean?

Du Hong was furious and sent an official document to the capital. The imperial court immediately reprimanded Tiemo and Man Gui, and strictly ordered them to provide Du Hong with help within their capabilities. The order came down, but Tiemo and Man Gui didn't take it seriously, and they still went their own way. At the same time, Tiemo also personally wrote a letter to Chongzhen, describing the whole story.

Although Chongzhen doesn't have too many imperial talents, he can still see through the basic things. At least for now, Chongzhen knows who is close to him. If the cabinet is allowed to take away the military power of the Xuanfu, then he, the emperor, will have even less right to speak. No matter how arbitrary Tiemo is, at least he still listens to his words.

Unconsciously, Du Hong had already led his troops to Mengjiayu. Mengjiayu is located in the southeast of Shenmu, only fifty miles away. Du Hong was not in a hurry to attack, but such an army of several thousand people suddenly appeared in Mengjiayu, but it scared Zhang Cunmeng enough.

Du Hong thought that he could drag it out, but he ignored Zhang Cunmeng's sensitivity. Now everyone under Wang's command regards the Hetao Plain as a golden pimple, but whenever there is a little threat, they feel that they can't sleep well. Now that an army of several thousand people is in Mengjiayu, how can Zhang Cunmeng endure it.

Soon, Zhang Cunmeng reported to Wang for his own use, and Wang for his own use was even more straightforward, and immediately sent a fierce general to attack Meng Jiayu. This person is none other than Zhang Xianzhong, who is the most capable of fighting under Wang Ziyong.

Since Zhang Xianzhong defected to the peasant army, he must take the lead at almost every station, fight bravely, and have a flexible mind, and soon won the reputation of "Yellow Tiger". Wang Ziyong sent Zhang Xianzhong in the hope that Zhang Xianzhong could defeat Mengjiayu's officers and soldiers in a battle.

Mengjiayu is hilly and high slopes for dozens of miles, there is very little vegetation, spring comes, the wind blows fiercely, the yellow sand rolls in the air, and the cheeks of the people who hit are painful.

Du Hong ate a mouthful of dust, spat and said depressedly: "This broken place is really not for people!" ”

Du Hong complained, but he didn't know that at this time, a small group of people was slowly touching along the Mengjiayu path. These people were all wrapped in khaki clothes and turbans, like a moving piece of loess.
