Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Great War is Coming

"The way of this world!" Zhu Youxiao sighed. It's okay to say that the etiquette is broken, and the good thoughts of the ancients are gone.

At this moment, Zhu Youxiao hopes that there will be hundreds of schools, even if there are none, even if it is a Confucian student of the Han Dynasty. Song Ru is not a real Confucian!

When Zhu Youxiao sighed, the weather in Liaodong was a little warmer, and Xiong Tingbi stood at the head of the city. The north wind blew his face red, but Xiong Tingbi didn't care, looking into the distance with burning eyes.

There was a eunuch standing next to Xiong Tingbi, who was Cui Fu, the eunuch guarding Liaodong Town. This one came to Liaodong after Xiong Tingbi, and it is said that he came from the door of Chen Hong and Chen Gonggong in the palace.

As for the eunuch Chen Hong who gave him the decree at the beginning, Xiong Tingbi had a very good impression, so after contacting this Cui Fu Cui Gonggong, Xiong Tingbi found that this Cui Gonggong was also good, and he did not interfere at all in his own battles or anything.

Instead, this father-in-law Cui walked around the barracks with people, putting on a posture of inspection, and he looked like he was ready to impeach whoever was not pleasing to the eye.

Under the actions of this Gonggong Cui, the military discipline of the entire Liaodong is much better, which can be regarded as an unexpected joy.

Xiong Tingbi glanced at Li Guangrong on the other side, and then asked, "Are those people honest?" ”

The innermost people in Xiong Tingbi are naturally the Mongolian refugees collected by Yuan Yingtai, and there are many real girls among them.

Yuan Yingtai planned to form an army of these people, but Xiong Tingbi did not see it that way.

In Xiong Tingbi's heart, the Mongolians are unreliable at all, let alone these Mongolian refugees? They themselves are trying to survive, why should they work hard for Daming?

So Xiong Tingbi directly got these people to work, digging ditches, strengthening the city defenses, and even did not allow these people to enter the city at night.

Li Rongguang took someone to take charge of the guard, and when he heard Xiong Tingbi's words, he said with some worry: "Some people ran away, a few died, and some people made a noise, and I have already led people to kill the troublemakers and hang their heads on the construction site." ”

Saying that, Li Rongguang secretly glanced at Cui Fu, the smiling eunuch next to him, and saw that he had no reaction, so he continued: "It has stabilized." ”

Xiong Tingbi said indifferently: "Keep an eye on them, pull them out and bury them when they die, don't make a plague." ”

"My lord, I'm afraid I'll be impeached if I do this!" Li Rongguang looked at Xiong Tingbi and said cautiously.

As the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, Li Rongguang has also been well aware of Liaodong's affairs over the years.

It is not easy to be an official in Liaodong, especially as a military officer. Those civil servants who don't do anything will stare at you, turning over and over, thinking of all kinds of ways to impeach you, and it won't be over if you don't impeach you anyway.

Under such circumstances, Li Rongguang was naturally afraid that Xiong Tingbi would be impeached.

You must know that Xiong Tingbi has a criminal record, the last time he was impeached, it was only a few days after he came back, if he is impeached again, what should he do?

"Mr. Li, you can rest assured about this." Cui Fu spoke on the side at this time.

I saw him rolling up his sleeves and said with a smile: "The emperor has already ordered Dongchang Wei Gonggong to thoroughly investigate the last time Lord Xiong was impeached, and now he has some eyebrows." Yao Zongwen and Liu Guojin are from Liaodong, and they colluded with Li Ruzhen, the general soldier of Liaodong, to force away Lord Xiong. ”

"The emperor has sent them to the prison of Dongchang. By the way, now Feng Sanyuan, Wei Yingjia, Zhang Xiude and others are involved, all of whom have accepted bribes from Liu Guojin and Li Ruzhen. ”

Saying that, Cui Fu looked at Xiong Tingbi and said with a bright smile on his face: "Lord Xiong, soon you will be wronged." ”

Xiong Tingbi was stunned for a moment, and then the whole person became excited, his body trembled, his face showed ecstasy, and he bowed directly in the direction of the capital: "Minister Xiong Tingbi thank God!" ”

As he spoke, Xiong Tingbi kowtowed respectfully, and then stood up, his eyes a little red.

Cui Fu stood beside Xiong Tingbi, the expression on his face was still smiling.

In Cui Fu's opinion, Xiong Tingbi has an element of acting in it, but it doesn't matter, it's better to have an attitude than no attitude.

"Report!"

Suddenly a shout sounded from the downstairs of the city, and a fast horse rushed directly over, and above was a soldier on horseback, carrying a command flag behind him, and the speed was very fast.

The soldiers ran and shouted in their mouths, and the people along the way hurriedly hid to the side. The expressions of several people standing at the head of the city also became serious, this is a scout, obviously this is a big matter.

Soon the scout ran into the city, and without waiting too long, he climbed to the top of the city, knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "Report, I found that the Jurchen cavalry is approaching Shenyang City." ”

"Sure enough!" A look of excitement flashed on Xiong Tingbi's face, and he said with a laugh.

Xiong Tingbi knew very well in his heart that Shenyang and Liaoyang were like a thorn in the eyes of the Jurchens, as long as this thorn was rooted here, the Jurchens could not do anything, they could not attack the grassland to the west, they could not conquer Korea to the east and east, they could only be pressed here.

In any case, the Jurchen must take Shenyang and Liaoyang. In addition, now in March and April, it is the time when the green and yellow are not available, and the Jurchens need supplies, otherwise they will not survive, they just want to rob them.

"Order, clear the wall, all the people withdraw to the city, drive all those Mongols out of the city, give them some weapons, let them meet the enemy." Xiong Tingbi said with a serious face.

This time, even Cui Fu turned his head to look at Xiong Tingbi, this cheeky and black-hearted, he knows this, but this is too thick-hearted, right? People have worked for you, and now you won't even let you enter the city? What's going on?

However, Cui Fu couldn't say that he knew his duty, and his godfather told him a thousand times before he left the capital, and he must keep his mouth shut.

Chen Guangrong didn't expect that his family's strategy would be such a general, and when he looked at Xiong Tingbi, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Big handsome, is this move inappropriate?" ”

"There's something wrong." Xiong Tingbi said as a matter of course: "Tell them that if they can defeat the Jurchen vanguard, Ben Shuai will accept them as the border army of the Ming Dynasty and give them food and salary." ”

Fools don't believe this, the Ming army can't beat it, those Mongolian refugees can beat it? I don't have any equipment, how can I fight?

Besides, these people must have surrendered directly after they passed. Chen Guangrong couldn't help but say with some worry: "Dashuai, I'm afraid this person will vote for the Jurchen!" ”

"If you vote, we can save a little food." Xiong Tingbi didn't care at all and said, "The Jurchens have food to feed them? ”

"Look, if they vote for the Jurchens, they will only be forced by the Jurchens to attack the city, and the Jurchens don't talk about mercy." Saying that, Xiong Tingbi said: "Go and give the order." ”

Chen Guangrong nodded, and hurriedly turned around to give the order, everyone knew that the big war was coming.
