"Lord Zhang, this Wu Dashan, but the baby I picked from Xuanfu, I haven't seen him just now, I just heard the two adults say that their victory is also thanks to your Lord Zhang's command, and your mandarin duck formation, otherwise it will be difficult to win, aren't your family members also sacrificed there!"

"Alas, this is the first time the old man has experienced war, it is too cruel, I hope we can make an agreement with the 'Mongolian' ancients this time, and don't act rashly!"

"Lord Zhang, if you don't fight with the 'Mongolian' ancients, how can the 'Mongolian' ancients know that we are powerful, our Beijing army is still afraid of them, so Lord Zhang won't be afraid. Cheng An said unconvinced.

"Hou Ye, you misunderstood what the official meant, I mean it wouldn't be better if you didn't fight and negotiate things, if you make a big move, does Hou Ye know how many soldiers will be killed and wounded, how many children will lose their fathers, and how many wives will lose their husbands, it is the best policy not to fight and surrender the soldiers, if we really fight, we are not sure of victory, Hou Ye thinks what the official said is right!"

"Yes, Ben Hou thinks that since the 100,000 army is here, he should also beat them and let them know how powerful we are, but I brought all the firearms battalions this time, and there are a hundred 'red-clothed cannons' behind him, he' The cavalry of the Mongolian army is powerful, but our firearms can completely restrain their cavalry, and long-distance killings will make them lose the ability to attack, but Ben Hou didn't expect that Lord Zhang is a cabinet minister, and he is so compassionate and considerate of the soldiers, Ben Hou is ashamed, if Lord Zhang can not fight the soldiers of the people, then Ben Hou will run for nothing! ”

Cheng Anhou is a cheerful person, if he is wrong, he is wrong, and he will never cheat.

"Master Hou, your Beijing army was transferred to Xuanfu, and at that time I discussed with Your Majesty to deter them, but also to prevent them from attacking Xuanfu, we are negotiating, and you must also be ready to fight, if it doesn't work, let's fight, this official doesn't understand military affairs, these Hou Ye and Lord Wang will discuss it!"

Everyone is an acquaintance, and Cheng Anhou can be seen every day in the court, so Zhang Juzheng also needs to be polite, and he said goodbye and went back to write a copy to the emperor, which is the most critical thing, and it must be sent to the capital as soon as possible, and the ministers in the capital should discuss the results.

Zhang Juzheng left by himself, I was fine, so I had to stay here to chat with the three of them, and the one who sent someone to call Wu Dashan also came back, Wu Dashan first saluted Cheng An, this is his superior.

"Master Hou, you are not slow to get old, and the little one doesn't know that you are old so fast, and I haven't gone to the city 'gate' to greet you." Wu Dashan said with a smile, the generals are different from these civil officials, they are not so polite, the size of the official position is not a problem, they usually joke or something, they can bring their personal feelings closer, Cheng Anhou is such a person, and he is still very affectionate and tolerant of the people he likes.

"You kid, you fought such a big battle with Lao Tzu on your back, you usually don't pull a few, but when you get to the battlefield, you are a good hand, tell Lao Tzu, how to fight!"

"Master Hou, this victory is not what you usually train us in, this time thanks to Lord Zhang and Lord Lan, if you are small, that is, a tie, it is impossible to defeat those 'Mongolian' ancient cavalry, Lord Zhang's family members are all heroically killed!"

"Okay, let's not talk about it, those wounded and fallen soldiers, you have to settle them properly, and when I return to the court, I will reward you well!"

"Master Hou has already arranged it, we have just picked up the wounded, and Lang Zhong, who was arranged by Lord Wang, is rebandaging them!"

"Then I'll go and take a look, Lord Wang, Lord Fang, Lord Lan, you guys are busy with yours, I'll go see the wounded." After speaking, Cheng Anhou stood up and was about to take Wu Dashan outside.

As soon as I thought about it, I was fine here, and I didn't have a good look when I came to Xuanfu, so I just followed this Wu Dashan out for a walk, so I said: "Master Hou, I'll go and have a look too, there are two more in it who are coming with me!" ”

Cheng Anhou stopped walking, glanced at me and said, "Okay, since Lord Lan is fine, let's go and have a look!" ”

Following Wu Dashan we out of the general military office, Wu Dashan's soldiers were placed in a barracks near the 'gate' of the east city, rode there, dismounted to the inside, looked at the soldiers who were not seriously injured, my two eunuchs carrying a sedan chair, the injuries were not serious, I comforted them a few words, and followed them to other wounded people's houses, Xuanfu because it is a border pass, the soldiers here are all experienced, for the wounds they bandaged yesterday, they are all open and re-applied 'medicine' to clean and bandage.

Cheng Anhou said to Wu Dashan: "These wounded, you must treat me, this is our future baby, they all have battlefield experience, in the future, the pro-soldier guards must have fought and the wounded are the best, don't go to train cavalry after you go back, I will transfer a few more from other places, you go to be the captain of my personal guard!" ”

At this moment, Wu Dashan was so happy that he knelt down on the ground with one 'leg' and said: "Thank you, Master Hou, you should have been smaller a long time ago, but I have been waiting for three years!" ”

"Haha, you guy, it turns out that I have already hit the idea of my captain of the guard, if you didn't fight well this time, the old man really didn't know that you kid still has such a great ability, I used to think that you are good at riding, and you have also fought, you are a warrior, I didn't expect you to be brave and strategic, the old man didn't misunderstand you, you didn't disappoint the old man, okay, now let's go up to the city tower to have a look, and I'll also see how Lord Wang's defense of their city is!"

Surrounded by the guards, we came to the city gate, there were four 'door' cannons on the upper floor, and the rest of the two soldiers had a 'door' cannon every dozen steps, and there were a lot of rolling stones and wood. ”

"Master Hou, I'm afraid that the 'Meng' ancients won't come, but I'm looking forward to them coming, but I didn't kill enough yesterday." Wu Dashan said with a smile.

"You know that you have to use your brains to fight, and if you can let them retreat without fighting, it is the best policy, and the soldiers who surrender without a fight are masters." Cheng Anhou immediately used what he learned from Zhang Juzheng here.

Standing on the city tower, looking into the distance, more than three miles away from the city wall, the Beijing army brought by Cheng Anhou is encamped, a busy scene, and further away is the camp of the 'Meng' ancients, because this has become a battlefield, there are few people on the official road, there is a fast horse from a distance, is running here, it seems to be a messenger, or our exploration horse.

A few of us looked at the defense of the city wall again, and the fast horse in the distance also arrived in front of the city 'gate', I looked at the man on horseback a little familiar, because it was wartime, the city 'gate' was closed, if someone came, first shouted 'gate', the man shouted below: "I want to find Lord Qinchalan, I told Zhang Yunchuan to let me in quickly, there is an urgent military situation to report!" ”

The soldier on the tower of the city asked, "Who are you, if there is an emergency military situation, we must report it before we can open the 'door'." "Those sergeants, they didn't know that I was here, and at this time, I also saw that the person below was Zhang Yunchuan, who left a few days ago.

I don't know what the reason for Zhang Yunchuan's sudden arrival, he said that there was an urgent military situation, could it be that the 'Mongolian' ancients still had some tricks.

I said to the hundred households who were in charge of guarding the 'gate' of the city, and now accompanied us to watch the defense: "I am Lan Yunjie, the deputy envoy of the Qin Mission, and the following is indeed my person, let him come in!" ”

The hundred households only knew that I came with Cheng Anhou, and did not know my identity, looked at me suspiciously, and did not speak, Cheng Anhou knew that the hundred households were questioning my identity, I was the deputy envoy of the Qin mission at such a young age, so that no one would believe it, and now it is an extraordinary period, so Cheng Anhou said: "What do you see, this is Lord Qin Chalan, go and open the 'door'!" ”

At this moment, the hundred households still dare to be lazy, and quickly arrange for the soldiers to go down to open the 'door', and I also followed down to the city tower, don't look at Zhang Yunchuan can enter the city, not everyone can come up to this city tower, the defense situation above is top secret, not everyone can come up to see.

When they arrived at the gate of the city, the soldiers opened the gate of the city, Zhang Yunchuan led the horse in, and when he came to me, he first saluted, then looked left and right and said: "Lord Lan, I have an emergency military situation, and I ....... here." Zhang Yunchuan looked at the soldiers not far away, and stopped talking.

I knew that Zhang Yunchuan was probably afraid of being heard, so he said, "Let's go over there and talk about it!" ”

Zhang Yunchuan followed for more than a dozen steps, and when he arrived at a place where no one was there, I said, "Zhang is in charge, what military situation do you have!" ”

"Lord Lan, there is a new trend in the 'Meng' ancients, we have discovered the cavalry of the 'Mongolian' ancients over there, and our big boss asked me to report to you quickly!"

"Really, how did you find out, how many 'Meng' ancient cavalry there are!"

"It was also a chance that our eldest brother went out to find a horse farm, and found the cavalry team of the 'Meng' ancients on the road, thanks to the eldest brother, they withdrew quickly, but our eldest brother also left spies and has been following them, how many people are there, my eldest brother said that there are more than 3,000 people, I'm afraid they are going to attack our Weibao over there!"

This is a new situation, I said to Zhang Yunchuan: "Second master, wait a minute, I'll go and call Cheng Anhou down first, and then we will go to the General Military Mansion and tell Lord Wang about them, as for your identity, just say that I will send you over there to inspect the market, see if you can open a silver account over there, don't say that you leak your mouth, and tell us about the 'smuggling' and the matter of the racecourse!" ”

"Lord Lan, don't worry, I won't say it." After appeasing Zhang Yunchuan, I sent Liu Lianjiang, who had been following me, to the city tower to ask Cheng An to come down.

Cheng An waited for him and asked, "Lord Lan, what information did your people send!" ”

"Master Hou, this is my family Zhang Yunchuan, I sent him to the mutual market over there to see if I can set up a silver horn over there, who knew that he found out that the cavalry of the 'Mongolian' ancients appeared over there, this is the new military situation, so he will come back quickly and report to me."
