In the capital of the capital, Dazai Dong Lin Song gently put down the military intelligence report in his hand, frowned, and said: "So the powerful Black Flag Army didn't take advantage of the Red Turban Army?" ”。

The squire of the military department replied: "Yes, Lord Dong, the first batch of 100,000 troops of the Black Flag Army has been dispersed, the vanguard officer has been beheaded, and more than 30,000 soldiers have been killed under Sui'an City. The second group of 200,000 horses was personally led by the so-called Zhongguo Gong, who was blocked from snow wolf for more than a month, and it was difficult to move an inch. ”

Dong Dazai sneered: "Okay! The more people they kill each other, the deeper the hatred will accumulate! It's better to get to the point of life and death, and save us from doing it. Give this military intelligence report to the "Loyal Prince" as well, and we should do more work to add fuel and firewood. ”

The squire smiled and said, "Dazai-sama is clever! At present, the two of them have no time to take care of the capture of our Daqi city, and they are bent on killing each other, and we are waiting to reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”

Dong Dazai said: "How is the recruitment of soldiers in the country? I made a military order before the Holy One. Within a year, a division of kings was formed and trained with a force of 500,000 people, and finally came forward to clean up the mess. Also, how are the candidates for the commander in chief? ”

"Kaiyu Dazai-sama, the recruitment of soldiers is well underway. Boss, some people strongly recommend Lord Wuding Guowu after the gate, but it's just ---that this person is still in the Wangcheng prison. ”

Dazai Qi said: "For what crime was he imprisoned? ”

"This--- this" The squire glanced at Dazai in embarrassment, bowed his head and replied, "The father of Wudingguo has something to do with Lord Wang, the former official of the Ministry of Shangshu. ”

Dazai frowned and said, "This person is not available!" Kill it, and choose another person. ”

Snow Wolf Pass, Lu Yansheng picked up the wine bowl and touched it with Guan Yu, drank it all, and said with a smile: "Little brother, the old man found that your kung fu is not bad, do you work hard immediately, it is really common." The iron spear in your hand is about the same as a burning stick, not slow but completely disorganized. ”

Guan Yu's face was slightly red, and he said: "Big brother is right, I made the gun all by myself, and I didn't get the guidance of a master. ”

Lu Yansheng said with a smile: "It's a pity that the old man throws his pen from Rong, but he can't dance with a gun and a stick." However, the old man has two major hobbies in his life, one is drinking, and the other is collecting all kinds of unique cheats. Since you recognize me as a brother, I will make an exception and give you a gift. As he spoke, he carefully took out a thread-bound book with yellowed raw edges from his arms and solemnly handed it to Guan Yu.

Guan Yu took it with both hands, and saw the four big characters of "Plum Blossom Gun Spectrum" vertically arranged on it. When you open it, there are not only marksmanship formulas, but also illustrations of white drawings. Guan Yu was overjoyed, as if he had obtained a treasure, he got up and said to Lu Yansheng: "For my brother's generous gift, my younger brother is grateful!" ”。

Lu Yansheng smiled and waved his hand: "This thing exists with me, it is just a dead thing to play with like cultural toys and jewelry, but it can have life when you go there, so it is really worth the money." It is also a coincidence that this thing was given to the old man by an old man before he died. ”

Guan Yu was no longer polite, carefully put the gun book into his arms, and then asked, "I don't know what the brother thinks of the current battle situation?" ”

Lu Yansheng stroked his gray beard and snorted coldly: "The enemy army under the city should fight hard, and the losses that can be eaten are enough, and there is nothing to be done." The old man estimated that they would not be willing to see the old city of Shi, and it should not be ten days, or they should be rerouted and detoured, or they should withdraw their troops directly! ”

In the lifeless Tiger Ben camp, Yang Mingyi, whose face was scorched, and listless, listened to Wang Yuanlang's recital.

"Nearly 30% of the sergeants of our army vomited and diarrhea, and the medical officer could not determine the cause, only saying that it was caused by the lack of adaptation to the water and soil. According to the report from the imperial court, Feng Yong's troops had been dispersed, Nie Shilong was killed by the enemy, and 30,000 soldiers were killed under the city of Sui'an----"

With a "click", Wang Yuanlang's words were interrupted. Yang Mingyi, who was furious, was holding a sword, and the corner of the table in front of him had been cut off by a sharp blade.

"Red scarf bandits, my father and you are incompatible! In this life, you can't wear the sky together! Yang Mingyi roared with red eyes.

Nie Yunniang, whose face was pale and her eyes were full of tears, stepped forward and said, "The last general is willing to lead a team of men and horses, bypass the Snow Wolf Pass, enter the bandits' lair, and avenge Shilong!" ”。

The reaction of the rest of the people who were arguing every day was surprisingly unanimous at this time, and they all fell to their knees and said in unison: "Grandpa Guo is angry!" Let's withdraw our troops for the time being! ”。

Yang Mingyi frowned, turned his face and said, "Jiang Shoufu, what do you think?" ”

Jiang Qiliang knelt forward and climbed half a step, arched his hand and said: "Returning to China, the method of breaking the enemy pays attention to the momentum of thunder, and it can be achieved overnight." Now that Feng Yong's troops have been dispersed, our army has lost the significance of attacking Snow Wolf Pass again. Moreover, the army was tired and sick, morale was low, and the supply of grain and grass in the imperial court was obviously much slack. In addition, I have received news that while our army is on an expedition, our good neighbors, the Tuni tribes, are constantly harassing and looting our rear border. As the saying goes, a gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, we might as well withdraw our troops and go back first, and then take a long-term view. ”

Hearing this, Yang Mingyi sighed like a ball that suddenly deflated. The ambition of Lingyun just now disappeared without a trace in an instant. I was going to play a game of big fish eating small fish, but I didn't expect this fish to be so violent, not only swallowed the bait, but also dragged the fishing rod away! For now, I had to go home silently and weave fishing nets, in order to catch them all as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Yang Mingyi said gloomily: "The Zhongqing family is flat, just wait for the words, go down and prepare early, and tomorrow the class teacher." ”

Nie Yunniang snatched Bai Dao unrelentingly: "I want to lead my troops to avenge Shilong---"

Yang Mingyi interrupted her with a wave of his hand and said, "Yun Niang, how can my father-in-law let you take risks alone, this matter must not be." You don't have to mention it again. ”

Looking at Nie Yunniang's back as she left angrily, Yang Mingyi narrowed his eyes and recalled a scene a few days ago:

That day, Liu Ganting begged to see him outside the account early in the morning, and after he was reported to be in the account, he fell to his knees, his eyes rolling around but he didn't speak. Yang Mingyi asked impatiently, "What do you have to report?" ”

Liu Ganting kowtowed and said, "Grandpa Guo, this matter is confidential, can you retreat first?" ”

Yang Mingyi waved his hand, and when there were only two of them in the account, Liu Ganting leaned forward and said: "Grandpa Guo, there is something that I have been holding in my heart for a long time, but I don't know whether to talk about it or not. ”

Yang Mingyi said angrily: "If you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go, what are you talking about?" ”

Liu Ganting gritted his teeth, clasped his fists and whispered: "Grandpa Guo, the little one is loyal to you and loyal, so he dares to risk death to return the gift: there was a night when he had a bad stomach during the day, and he ran out of the account late at night to diarrhea. Unfortunately, I saw a man in black walking out of the deputy leader's tent from a distance, heading straight in the direction of Snow Wolf Pass. The small one chased for a long time and didn't catch up, so the small one suspected that the deputy leader had already colluded with the red turban bandits, so that our army lost its troops and couldn't take the Snow Wolf Pass for a long time. Also, if there were no spies to inform them in advance, how could General Feng Yong fall into the trap of the red turban bandits? ---”

Yang Ming stood up in surprise and asked, "This matter is not a child's play, you really saw it with your own eyes?" ”

Liu Ganting kowtowed and said, "The little one dares to guarantee with his life!" Absolutely true. ”

Yang Mingyi sat down in his seat with a slump in his ass, remembering that Nie Yunniang had opposed the attack on the Red Turban Army at the beginning, and suddenly joined in a hurry before the departure of the team, which was indeed suspicious.

He whispered to Liu Ganting and instructed: "The stakes are very high, you must not mention this matter to anyone except me, otherwise you will die unexpectedly, and I will not be blamed!" ”

Liu Ganting trembled, kowtowed, and said: "The little one is only loyal to the grandfather of the country and obeys the orders of the grandfather of the country." ”

Yang Mingyi nodded with satisfaction and said, "You are loyal, perform well, and if you have the opportunity, my father will definitely promote and reuse you." ”

Liu Ganting was grateful, and kowtowed again to thank him: "Swear allegiance to the grandfather of the country!" ”

Feng Yong led more than 5,000 remnants, wrapped in dust, and finally came to the Snow Wolf Pass. The high walls of the pass obscured his view, preventing him from seeing the retreating army outside the gate. He was chased by the bandits for several days, and he tried his best to escape, which made the generalissimo of the bandits emaciated and haggard, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Looking up at the bright and dazzling red turban army banner dancing in the wind on the city, Feng Yong sighed. He did not give the order to force the attack, but without saying a word, he turned his horse's head and embarked on the long journey home around the pass.

"Report to Lord Zhang, the news from most of the capital has been confirmed that Lord Wu was indeed beheaded for the crime of rebellion. In addition, the imperial court sent Lord Liu to lead a team to the city gate, did Lord Zhang lead his troops to greet him? ”。

Zhang Baiqian was stunned for a moment, as the deputy general of Wu Dingguo, he temporarily commanded 50,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Tongzhou as the commander-in-chief. A few months ago, I only knew that the coach Wu Daren was ordered to return to Beijing, and I was afraid that he would be promoted, who would have thought that this would become a permanent secret.

He said calmly: "Inform the generals and go out of the city to greet Lord Qincha." In addition, he ordered to go down and hold a banquet tonight to catch the wind and wash the dust for Lord Qincha. ”

Looking at the open city gate and the generals who came out of the cave and respectfully saluted, Lord Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the fear he had when he left Beijing disappeared in an instant. Before leaving the capital, Dazai-sama personally recruited him to go to teach him face-to-face, in order to prevent the mutiny of his subordinates who killed Wu Dingguo, Dazai-sama specially drew up a list, and some people were added to the official ranks, and each had a reward. He was also given 5,000 additional guards, and was given the right to arbitrarily act on the spot, and to behead those who were recalcitrant on the spot. But judging from the cautious and respectful attitude shown by the generals in front of him, there should be no possibility of conflict.

At the banquet in the evening, Zhang Baiqian led the crowd to toast Lord Liu in turn, saying their hard work, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious. Lord Liu lost no time in reading out Dazai-sama's edict to everyone to increase the number of officials and knights, and the atmosphere of the scene reached **. The generals celebrated with their crowns, talked about the wine, and constantly praised Dazai and Lord Liu's care and thoughtfulness, and under the effect of the wine, Lord Liu was inevitably a little fluttery.

A drunken red-faced man suddenly asked: "Lord Liu, Wu Dashuai treats us like brothers and sisters, and has been fighting with my brothers for many years, serving the country loyally, and the world can learn from heaven and earth!" How could he suddenly be victimized by a traitor for the crime of treason? ”

Lord Liu smiled awkwardly and looked at Zhang Baiqian, hoping that the deputy general would persuade him to ease the unfriendly atmosphere. But I saw that Master Zhang turned a deaf ear, lowered his head and picked up the tea bowl, and tasted the tea slowly and with great interest.

Lord Liu tried his best to suppress his dissatisfaction and said lightly: "The specific situation is not very clear to the official, and there is no conclusive evidence to believe that the imperial court will never kill innocents indiscriminately." You should not believe rumors, you only need to be loyal to your duties, and you will naturally enjoy endless glory and wealth. ”

The red-faced drunk man stroked his palms and laughed: "A good piece of evidence is conclusive, a good one is glorious and rich!" The faint king and traitor are in charge, and their lives are still in danger, isn't the so-called glory and wealth equal to fart? ! What's the use of coming? ”

Lord Liu got up and changed color and said: "Come on, take down this rebellious rebel thief for me!" ”
