Cao Wenzhao was right, the court did ask him about his crimes.

Most of the officials and generals who were impeached by the courtiers were questioned, including Zhang Zongheng, Zhang Quanchang, Dai Junen, Jiao Yuanqing, Hu Zhanen, Wang Kun, Liu Wenzhong, Liu Zhongyun and others.

The prefectures and counties that were captured in Datong Town included Yingzhou, Hunyuan Prefecture, Lingqiu County, and Guangling County, and Cao Wenzhao, who was the chief soldier of Datong, was even more to blame and ended up with a dismissal of officials and confiscation of the army.

On the day the decree arrived in Datong Town, Cao Bianjiao was so indignant that he took off his armor in front of the eunuch and threw the guerrilla seal letter on the ground.

As soon as the eunuch left, Cao Bianjiao packed up his belongings and persuaded Cao Wenzhao to follow him to Ningwuguan.

But Cao Wenzhao resolutely refused, and ordered Cao Bianjiao to immediately take the Cao family's family to Ningwu Pass, and he himself was willing to accept the punishment of the imperial court, and was ready to follow the escort officers and soldiers to the border of Yunnan.

Cao Bianjiao had no choice but to take more than 100 members of the Cao family, as well as more than 700 subordinates who were willing to follow him to serve Qin Chuan, and pretend to be a grain transport team to Ningwu Pass.

What they didn't know was that Wu Fuzheng, who had just been appointed governor of Shanxi, pleaded for Cao Wenzhao, saying that he was brave and good at fighting, and wanted to transfer him to Shanxi to continue to suppress bandits.

……

Qin Chuan knew that Cao Bianjiao was not here to buy the first rank, because Emperor Guan's army had inspected their mule and horse carts, which contained very little money and grain, and more of them were fine and soft, clothes and bedding, pots and pans, and even table and chair ornaments.

Moreover, there were a lot of women and children in the convoy.

Obviously, Cao Bianjiao was moving and moved their Cao family over.

As soon as he heard the news, Qin Chuan hurriedly ran out of the garrison mansion in Ningwuguan and personally went out of the city to greet him.

Cao Bianjiao, the most courageous vanguard general in Cao Wenzhao's army, must take the lead in every battle, leading the Guanning Iron Cavalry to be invincible, and the only one who threatened the life of Huang Taiji, and cut Huang Taiji's guards to pieces.

When Qin Chuan went out of the city, Cao Bianjiao was standing a hundred steps away from the city, curiously looking at the two turrets like scorpion pincers.

Seeing Qin Chuan come out, he retracted his gaze and took the initiative to greet him.

"Hahaha, Brother Cao, don't come unharmed."

Qin Chuan smiled and hugged Cao Bianjiao's shoulder and patted it a few times.

Cao Bianjiao also patted Qin Chuan's back in response, then pointed to a turret and said, "Brother, what's that thing about?" I heard that my brother relied on these two enemy platforms to kill thousands of slaves. ”

"Hehe, you'll know if you go in and see it in person later, let's go, let's go into the city."

"Eh, brother, let's get down to business first."

"Yes, say."

"Brother, my uncle was punished by the court, dismissed the official and confiscated the army, I came, it was like coming to defect to the elder brother, I don't know if the elder brother welcomes me and these brothers."

"Welcome, of course welcome, it's too late to welcome, with the help of Brother Cao, why worry about a big thing?"

Qin Chuan laughed happily a few times, then changed his words, and continued: "It's just that your brother and I have a few ugly things to say in front, and I am in the army under my command, but I am not as comfortable as serving the imperial court." ”

"The Guan Emperor's army is strictly disciplined, whether it is training on weekdays or marching and fighting, it must absolutely obey the orders of the generals, it is strictly forbidden to harass or rob the people, it is not allowed to kill indiscriminately, let alone commit adultery.

"In other words, in my army, I can't live a free life anymore."

"But, correspondingly, the treatment of the Guan Emperor Army is much better than that of the Ming Army, although the monthly salary is only one tael, but all the soldiers can eat three meals a day, two dry and one thin, and there is meat to eat every day, and there is a reward for winning the battle, and there is no arrears."

"As for the generals...... is not as comfortable as the generals of the Ming army, but the future is bright, and the big thing is the founding minister. ”

After listening to Qin Chuan's words, Cao Bianjiao hurriedly smiled and said: "Don't worry, brother, before coming here, I had a certain understanding of Emperor Guan's army, and knew that this was a strong army with strict discipline. ”

"Brother, I have already thought about it, so I brought the Cao family's family and subordinates to join my brother."

"And the more than 700 brothers in the back." Cao Bianjiao pointed to the hundreds of cavalry on both sides of the convoy behind, and continued: "Before coming here, those brothers knew that Emperor Guan's army was strictly disciplined, and they all took the initiative to follow me to serve after careful consideration. ”

"Good, good, good!"

Qin Chuan said a few words in a row: "Since my brother has been prepared, then I won't talk nonsense, let's go, let's go into the city and talk." ”

"Thank you, brother."

Under the guidance of Qin Chuan, Cao Bianjiao and more than 100 members of his Cao family, more than 700 Guan Ning Tieqi, Yuguan entered Ningwu Pass.

After Li Dingliang, Liu Youzhu, Feng Yilong and others heard that Cao Bianjiao had come to return to Shun, they also hurried to the city gate to greet them, and other generals such as Luo Niu and Luo Ba, who had just returned from their respective stations, also happily greeted them.

After all, this is the first Ming army general to take the initiative to serve.

Moreover, everyone has heard a little about Cao Bianjiao's bravery, and knows that this young general's son has real skills.

Under Qin Chuan's introduction, Cao Bianjiao and the generals met one by one, and then were welcomed into the garrison mansion.

Qin Chuan also ordered someone to set up a banquet for Cao Bianjiao and the family soldiers he brought.

Cao Bianjiao, who had just arrived, was very curious about everything, and was obviously drunk, but still ran to the city wall and the turret after the break, observing the guns of the Guan Emperor's army and the turret built with reinforced concrete.

When Cao Bianjiao personally picked up the hammer and slammed it on the wall, leaving only a piece of silver on the wall, the wine woke up all of a sudden, and then he kept touching the gray wall and was amazed, and he was reluctant to leave after touching it for a long time.

Early the next morning, after Cao Bianjiao woke up completely, Qin Chuan asked him to go to the garrison mansion, talked with him alone for a while, and then decided where he went.

He went to the tiger and leopard battalion as a general and led 2,000 cavalry.

Of the two thousand cavalry, some of them were the more than 700 subordinates brought by Cao Bianjiao, and the remaining part was selected from each battalion head, and the last part was supplemented by recruiting new soldiers.

Qinchuan wants to expand the tiger and leopard camp.

Because he was ready to start the Hetao raid and conquer the grassland, it was indispensable to have a strong cavalry.

When he fought Jiannu, he captured thousands of war horses, and now he has enough war horses, as long as the personnel are in place, he can start training immediately.

The day after Cao Bianjiao surrendered, Qin Chuan also decided on the future of those Jiannu captives.

After accepting the surrender of Yan Yechen, there is also a Jiala Zhangjing named Tushan, and three Niu Lu Zhangjing.

These generals were lucky to survive, and after a while, Qin Chuan had to let them continue to lead the troops to fight.

As for the other Jiannu generals, they all cut off their heads and prepared to exchange them for food and silver.
