245. Purpose

In the belly of the mountain, Zhao Quan still unfolded the Xuanda map, and studied it carefully according to what Zhao Yingfeng said, "You mean to fight Yulinwei first, but Yulinwei doesn't have much material ......." ”

"When you go to Yulinwei, you can go back quickly, you can grab as much as you can, and there are no eight hundred warriors to share the spoils. We don't even go into the city, so it may not be unprofitable for the tribes who send troops. Zhao Yingfeng explained.

Zhao Quan thought for a while, and then said: "The defenders around Datong Mansion are strong, and if they loot, the casualties will be very large. ”

"It doesn't matter if no tribe wants to go, let's go, and bring another four hundred warriors." What Zhao Yingfeng said didn't matter.

"Does that make sense?" Zhao Quan didn't want to make any sacrifices for Altan Khan.

"We've got ten truckloads of thunderbolts. We'll fight first, and let the tribes that follow us wait for us to open the gap before we move to preserve their forces. It may not necessarily be to play Datongfu, but the left back, central defender, forward guard, and rear defender, just play one or two, which is not necessarily meaningless. When Zhao Yingfeng said this, he laughed again, "Such a way of playing will definitely surprise Emperor Ming." ”

Zhao Quan thought about it, and then smiled: "What about the last one?" We don't have so many thunderbolts. ”

Zhao Yingfeng thought for a long time and didn't make a sound, and finally said: "I only need two hundred warriors." ”

"Okay, what about the last twenty empty cars?" Zhao Quan asked.

Zhao Yingfeng lowered his head again and pondered, "Thirty cars at a time." Sixty cars will be handed over to Uncle Pang to deal with, and I will take two hundred warriors to form a formation. ”

Zhao Quan shook his head, "If you do this, you are really fighting." Two hundred medicine men, even if they form a formation, they can't defeat any of the acropolis. You must know that this time, all the tribes are under the idea of not contributing to work, and they just want to pick up cheap. ”

"Fighting still has to be fought, and the strength of the 'Immortal God Army' must be seen by the Great Khan. Moreover, this time the 'Immortal God Army' is going to all die, so there must be a good reason. Zhao Yingfeng laughed, "It's better if the departments don't help, at least it's one of the reasons for the total destruction of the medicine people." ”

Zhao Yingfeng continued to calculate, "Yanghe, Gaoshan, Tiancheng, if you don't get to Jingshi, the emperor doesn't have to be so nervous." The Acropolis have always liked to be closed to themselves, and without reinforcements, there is less pressure on us. Therefore, the farthest is Tianchengwei. Of the three acropolises, Yang He is the weakest and smallest. The high mountains are close to the yang and the mountains, and the mountains can also be hit by the yang, and finally the nature is made. A few days ago, I thought it was very strange that in the past two years, Altan Khan has either directly hit Huai'an, or he has stopped at Datong Mansion, and every time he skips Tianchengwei. I heard from the congregation that Tianchengwei is already the most prosperous acropolis on the first line of Xuanda. ”

Zhao Quan looked at Zhao Yingfeng, "You mean to fight Tiancheng?" ”

Zhao Yingfeng said while thinking about it: "To fight Yanghe, you can try the medicine man formation first, if you can't beat it by relying on the medicine man alone, give up Yanghe, and let the army directly fight Tianchengwei." As for Gao Shanwei'......, those medicine people may not have so much time. ”

Zhao Quan said to himself: "According to what you said, Tianchengwei is profitable, although it may be difficult to ......fight farther away," he shook his head and mocked, "The Acropolis of the Ming army, how can it be difficult to fight." Okay, just do as you say, I'll go find the Great Khan. You arrange everything and let Uncle Pang leave tomorrow. ”

**********

Tianchengwei, like all military towns, is a military guard. In the beginning, in addition to the garrison, there were some family members of the army in the city. Slowly, I don't know if the Lord likes to be lively, or the surrounding people feel that this place is safe, and tens of thousands of people gathered. Since then, a small military town has also had the scale of a city.

Moreover, this is like a blessed land, the Tatars have entered the Ming Dynasty several times and plundered everywhere, and Tianchengwei has escaped, which makes the people on the border more willing to come here to seek refuge. Even at night when it comes to curfew, it is more popular than other acropolis.

The general military palace in the city, in addition to being the residence of the general soldiers, is also the place where the affairs of the acropolis are handled.

More than half a year ago, Liang Lie was transferred to Tianchengwei to take over as the chief soldier. A few days ago, Xu Baoshen brought Yao Fangyu here, which surprised Liang Lie. Although he had received a secret report early and knew that there would be a war in the near future, seeing that Yao Fangyu was not in a high mood, he still took her to take a walk around Tianchengwei and take a look.

Finally, Xu Baoshen met Liang Lie alone at night.

Liang Lie's room is very simple, and the tables and chairs are all old from his predecessor. He only brought a small teapot that had only been used for many years, and some covers.

"It's so far from south to north, I'm not going to say anything about you." Liang Lie was wearing home clothes, sitting in a rocking chair, drinking tea in his small teapot, and looking at Xu Baoshen very easily.

Xu Baoshen smiled and shook her head, and said helplessly: "This little girl is not worrying, she is so old and willful." ”

"Oh?" Liang Lie took a sip of tea, "Yu'er? ”

"The Nangong clan has withdrawn from the marriage. started to be good, but suddenly the two of them quarreled, and Yu'er Gu ran back, with a grudging attitude. ”

"Yu'er and Nangong's family?"

Xu Baoshen nodded, "They have known each other for a long time, the second son has pursued her for several years, and Yu'er doesn't give people a good face, alas, ......." ”

"Really?" Liang Lie didn't believe it, "Yu'er has always been reasonable and will not do anything impolite." I don't understand, even if the two of them have a marriage contract, why did they get together without getting married? ”

"Well, yes. The second son came to the South China Sea, and the two of them didn't know how to talk, so Yu'er followed him. I also don't think it's polite at all, and it's not good to say anything in front of outsiders, thinking that they have a marriage contract anyway, so forget it. I didn't expect that the second son was also such a casual person. Xu Baoshen smiled helplessly.

"Really?" Liang Lie frowned, still not convinced. "Divorce after a quarrel?"

Xu Baoshen nodded, "The Nangong clan has always been strong because of its wealth. For the sake of Wei'er, we have always let go, but this time there is no reason to withdraw from the marriage. ”

"You agreed?"

Xu Baoshen shook his head, "So I'm here to discuss with my brother." ”

"That's it?"

Xu Baoshen smiled bitterly, "The Nangong clan wants us to return all the gifts they sent before. ”

"If the marriage is not finalized, the bride price will be given?"

"I don't know, it's probably their Binh Duong customs. However, I guess it may also be that the second son has a bad reputation, and they are afraid that we will not accept it, so they are desperate to give gifts. ”

Liang Lie nodded, "If this person has a problem with his character, he will retreat." Gifts or something, just return it. ”

"The problem now is that there is no going back. Last year, Cui Ping was seriously ill, and I sought medical treatment everywhere, and finally got better. During the Chinese New Year, it is up and down again. also prepared a dowry for Yu'er, which was almost used for a long time. ”

"Yu'er's dowry?" Liang Lie squinted at him, "Isn't her dowry already prepared, and you still need to prepare it?" ”

Xu Baoshen shook his head and smiled bitterly, "We didn't know that she would marry Pingyang." If it was the Nangong clan, it turned out that what was prepared was not enough. ”

"How so? And the embroidered one. "Liang Lie's eyes widened, and he almost said, 'This dowry has been swallowed by you.'"

"Brother, don't you know about their Nangong clan's move, last time in Quanzhou, they sprinkled 200,000 taels of silver at one time. This time, the gifts they sent to our Nanhai faction alone exceeded 50,000 taels, not to mention the Yao family. Xu Baoshen's expression was no longer sure whether to cry or laugh.

Liang Lie was also taken aback, "Is that second son missing arms and legs?" Or is it dying? ”

Xu Baoshen sighed softly, "I'm afraid it's worse." Spending all day drinking and bullying a woman from a good family is a trivial matter, he is in Pingyang, alas, everyone dares to be angry and dare not speak, and he can't even stand the second room. is a gentleman who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, and his family is spoiled, as if he can't see him being wronged. Therefore, there are no women in Jindi who are willing to marry at all. ”

Seeing that Liang Lie didn't say anything, he shook his head and continued: "Now, we are still dragging our feet, and we are also persuading Yu'er, if we can go and admit our mistakes to the second son, with the second son's obsession with her, this matter should be settled." But Yu'er refused to ....... ”

Liang Lie said thoughtfully: "If that person is really as unbearable as you say, Yu'er can't get married." ”

"The old brother also thinks he can't get married?" This time, Xu Baoshen's expression seemed to be about to cry, "But where did I get 50,000 taels, and my entire family background is only 20,000 taels." ”

When these words came out, the scene was quiet.

"You're here to borrow money?" Liang Lie suddenly understood Xu Baoshen's intention. "Thirty thousand taels of silver, I don't have it."

After a while, Xu Bao sighed deeply and said: "Brother, I really don't know what to do, or you can help persuade Yu'er tomorrow, or marry her." ”

"The man is not good, so he can't get married. If you want her to marry, what will she do with the rest of her life? ”

Xu Bao said with a bitter face.

"But as a military attachΓ©, how much silver can I have." Liang Lie looked at him, and his words were not so relaxed,

After another half an hour, Xu Baoshen said softly: "The reef island ...... back then can't be found now. He smiled again as if reminiscing, "It's been more than 20 years, heh, I didn't expect to know my brother so well." ”

Liang Lie's hands trembled, staring at the small teapot in his hand in contemplation.

Xu Bao said in a deep and faint voice: "At that time, the sea was really blue and ....... ”

"You think you can threaten me with this?" Liang Lie sneered, "Or are you going to continue kidnapping Fang Wei?" ”

"How am I a threat? Everyone is the same, and if you talk about this kind of thing, don't say it's just to protect Yu'er, isn't it? Xu Baoshen smiled and said, "Brother, you also think too badly." Until now, I'm still keeping my promises. ”

"If it weren't for you bewitching Yu'er and preventing her from marrying into the Liang family, would this be the case now? Xu Baoshen, you don't have to pretend to be a good person, everyone knows it. Liang Lie was about to end the conversation, "Thirty thousand taels of silver, I really don't have it." In addition, more than 20 years have passed since the ...... back then, can't you take out 30,000 taels? Liang Lie stared at him, "I can talk to the Nangong clan through Taiyuan Mansion, if they still want to do business well, it is impossible for them to be willing to offend our defenders." ”

Xu Baoshen was very unhappy in his heart, but there was still a helpless wry smile on his face, "Then please leave it to my brother." ”

"And." Liang Lie didn't look at him, "You guys should leave tomorrow, there may be a war soon." Seeing a sneer on Xu Baoshen's face, Liang Lie explained unhappily: "I don't have to lie to you, I received a military report today that a Tartar army is coming to the southeast. ”

"Okay, in that case, I still have to mention this matter to my brother and Yu'er. Especially the Nangong clan's divorce, it is still a bit of a blow to Yu'er......" Xu Baoshen said lightly.

"You didn't tell her?" Liang Lieqi said.

Xu Baoshen spread her hands and said, "She didn't believe what I said, I'm afraid she wants us to retreat first, but now that the Nangong clan has retreated, we can't grab this first." ”

"Really?" Liang Lie squinted at him, and although he didn't believe it, he didn't say anything more.
