Chijianling, Fengjiazhuang.

There is a group of people sitting in the hall of the Feng family's ancestral house, the top is an old woman with silver hair and a kind face, next to Feng Yilong with a beautiful long beard, and on both sides are Feng Wubao, Feng Qiwolf, Feng Babiao, Feng Shiyi Eagle, Feng Thirteen Eagle.

The faces of this family were solemn, and they were thinking about something with their eyes lowered.

After being silent for a long time, Feng Wubao, who had a broken arm, suddenly asked, "Big brother, the person surnamed Qin has made such a big move, can the court spare him?" This time only 13,000 soldiers and horses came, and it was a few fools who commanded the army, so he escaped a catastrophe, what if 30,000, 50,000 or even more soldiers and horses came next time? You must know that there are more than 100,000 border troops in Xuanda and Da, and once they go south, no matter how cunning the surnamed Qin is, it is impossible for his two or three thousand people to resist it. ”

Feng Yilong shook his head, "I guess, he will make peace with the imperial court." ”

"Will the court make peace with him?"

"If he is willing to spend money and find someone to mediate for him in the court, he will not be able to make peace with him, after all, the emperor has not caught him at all, and there is no evidence to prove that the three hundred heads outside Taiyuan City were hung by him, and his previous great military exploits are there, and the person who mediates for him only needs to seize this point."

"As for his private artillery and recruitment...... Nowadays, the officers and soldiers of the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty still dare to use the rotten firearms of the Ordnance Bureau, most of the small cannons like the tiger squat cannon are made by the officers and soldiers of each town themselves, which is no different from private manufacturing, and all the generals and officers have also made up and trained private soldiers without authorization, as little as thirty or fifty people, and as many as seven or eight hundred. This kind of thing is something that the imperial court would have turned a blind eye to. ”

"Now, Liukou is jumping back and forth in Shanxi, Hebei, and Henan, stirring up the imperial court, and in the area of the Qingshui River outside the head pass, a Jiannu suddenly appeared, and it has been there for a long time, and fools know that this Jiannu is here to recruit the surnamed Qin."

"The imperial court is a dilemma, if you want to send a large army to attack the surnamed Qin, and you are afraid that the Jiannu outside the gate will take advantage of the situation, and you are afraid that the surnamed Qin will escape and join the Jiannu, Kong Youde Geng Zhongming of Denglai, Shandong is a lesson from the past, if you don't fight, the movement of the surnamed Qin is too big, the court can't get off the stage, and I'm afraid that the surnamed Qin will take advantage of the situation and completely reverse the Ming Dynasty."

"At this time, if the surnamed Qin shouts grievances, and someone mediates for him, if he talks about his previous military exploits, maybe the emperor will get off the donkey and let this matter settle down, and the emperor can still get a general and thousands of strong soldiers."

"I suspect that this matter was planned step by step by the surname Qin, in order to find an excuse to take Jingle and Lanxian."

Hearing Feng Yilong's words, the brows of the several brothers present furrowed, and even the old woman above looked thoughtful.

Not long after, Feng Babiao suddenly asked again, "Big brother, he has occupied Jingle and Lanxian, if the imperial court wants to make peace with him, how should he deal with the affairs of these two places?" It is impossible for the imperial court to enclose land for him as a king, and looking at his appearance, he will definitely not give up the few villages in his hands, after all, it is tens of thousands of acres of fertile land. ”

Feng Yilong pondered for a moment and said, "In my opinion, the imperial court is likely to send him out to fight, such as sending him south to fight the Liukou, and then sending people in to divide his people before he walks away, and take back the territory he occupies." ”

"Will he listen to the court?"

"I don't understand."

Feng Shiyidiao interjected, "Big brother, what do you say he is trying to do?" ”

Feng Yilong hesitated slightly, and suddenly said, "This is a great country." ”

Hearing this, the faces of the brothers present changed.

The childish Feng Shisanying suddenly asked again, "Big brother, do we really want to vote for him?" ”

Feng Yilong didn't answer, but looked at the old woman above.

The old woman lowered her eyes, as if she was asleep.

The brothers of the Feng family didn't ask any questions, just waited quietly.

After a long time, the old woman slowly opened her eyes and gently relieved >>

In one breath, he said in a low voice, "I sent away several of your brothers and sisters for my mother, and I sent away your father, I don't want to send you anymore, and I don't want to see Fengjiazhuang full of mountains anymore." ”

Feng Yilong stood up and said with a straight face, "Mother, the person surnamed Qin promised the child not to kill anyone in Fengjiazhuang, if he doesn't pay attention to faith, the child swears that he will take his head with his own hands." ”

The old woman looked up at him and nodded slowly.

Feng Yilong knelt on the ground on both knees, and the brothers of the Feng family behind him also knelt down one after another, kowtowing three times to the old woman.

……

Shouyang City is forty miles to the south, on the north bank of the Xiao River.

Not long ago, the Liukou who had already entered Hebei and Henan showed signs of pouring into Shanxi, and tens of thousands of Liukou appeared in the mountainous areas around Heshun, attacking the city and plundering everywhere.

Cao Wenzhao's 3,000 Guanning iron cavalry camped on the north bank of the Xiao River to rest, wanting to wait for Zhang Yingchang, Ai Wannian, Po Ximu and others on the west road to approach to the southeast, intercept the passage of the Liukou to the south from Liaozhou, and then cross the Xiaohe River, approach from the north, and surround the tens of thousands of Liukou in the mountains.

Since the westward invasion of bandits, he has not had a good day of recuperation, this day is rare to be free, so he got two fishing rods, and his nephew Cao Bianjiao fished by the Xiao River.

At dusk, fifteen or sixteen horsemen suddenly came to the west, and there were a few pack horses, carrying heavy goods, and they were stopped by the sentinel army from a distance, and then a sentinel came on horseback, knelt down on one knee and said, "General, someone asked to see the supervisor Liu Gonggong, claiming to be sent by Liu Wenzhong, the Datong supervisor." ”

"Liu Wenzhong?"

Cao Wenzhao frowned slightly, and suddenly remembered a news he heard not long ago, and Qinchuan, a hundred households in the Ninghua Institute of Shanxi, went north to rob and kill Jiannu, and Liu Wenzhong, the supervisor of Datong, led the army to help, and both won the heads of hundreds of Jiannu......

"Huh."

Cao Wenzhao shook his head and smiled, and said lightly, "Let them come in, and then send someone to inform Gonggong Liu." ”

"Yes."

Cao Bianjiao, who was on the side, turned his head curiously and asked, "Uncle, what happened to Liu Wenzhong who sent someone from afar to find Liu Yunzhong?" ”

Cao Wenzhao smiled again: "This group of people was not sent by Liu Wenzhong, but by a thousand households called Qinchuan in the Ninghua Institute of Shanxi." ”

"Qin Chuan?"

"Not long ago, I went to the outside of the gate to intercept and kill hundreds of Jiannu, and I was almost attacked and killed by two hundred Jiannu in Lou Fu, and then I put a bunch of Jiannu heads in front of the governor of Shanxi, threatening to bleed into a river of Qinchuan."

"Hey, it turned out to be him, uncle, he is the number one person, he dares to go outside the gate to intercept and kill Jiannu, and he can defeat two hundred Jiannu elites with one hundred guards, there are few people like him in the nine border towns."

"It's really a character, but it's unruly and difficult to control."

"Uncle, what did he send someone to find Liu Yunzhong for?"

"It should be that Xuanda's border army was defeated under him, and he wants Liu Yunzhong to mediate for him, and wants the court to complain."

"Yo ho, even the Xuanda border army was defeated under him?"

"This person is indeed a rare general."

"Uncle, did you say that the three hundred heads outside Taiyuan City were hung by him?"

"Who else but him."

"Hey, this guy is a little bolder."

"Someone collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, leading Jiannu deep into the hinterland of Shanxi to attack and kill him, and if he was someone else, I am afraid that he will also jump on his feet, not to mention his kind of unruly person."

"Uncle, Xuanda's place ......"

"The water is too deep, fish well."

"Oh."
