Chapter 179 hole cards

"Yes, obedience!" Aladdin and Sheng Zhao were stunned and bowed awe-inspiringly.

Some time ago, Qi Zhedu gave Liu Ziren, Wang Kerou, Qiu Yi, Zhang Jiusi and others another official title and a generous reward, and they also muttered in private, saying that Lord Zuo Cheng took those Diao people too seriously, and simply put them on the heads of official officers and soldiers. Only at this moment did I understand that from the beginning, Qi Zhedu was fighting a plan to spend money to buy his life and drive the wolf and the tiger. Regardless of whether Gaoyou is saved in the end or not, he has no intention of letting Liu Ziren and Zhang Jiusi and other Diao Min leaders leave alive.

"Shhh The hearts of other Mongolian officials also shuddered. The eyes that secretly looked at Che Zhedu were instantly filled with fear. They usually rely on the shadow of their ancestors, but they have never taken the small province of Qi Zhedu in their eyes. Who would have thought that this guy who was regarded as a mud bodhisattva by everyone still had such a sharp knife hidden in his heart! If he used the same spicy energy to deal with everyone, even if everyone had nine lives, I am afraid they would have already died cleanly, how could they have a chance to call it now?!

Thinking of this, the Mongolian officials immediately relented and obediently promised that before dark, they would send their respective families to the government to wait for Lord Zuo Cheng's dispatch. Zuo Cheng Qi Zhedu of Henan Jiangbei Province didn't think much of himself, smiled, and said in a low voice: "If my brother offends your brothers today, please don't take it to heart." After the Zhu butcher is defeated, my brother and I will naturally set up a few tables in the largest restaurant in the city and make amends to you on the spot! ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, Lord Zuo Cheng is also for everyone's good." The hereditary Mongol officials waved their hands one after another, and their attitudes were the same as before.

"It's good that everyone understands my brother's distress!" Zuo Cheng Qi Zhedu of Jiangbei Province of Henan Province smiled and continued, "Brother, I have also heard that Zhu Butcher is not a person who is easy to kill. But it's better to hand over your head to others than to carry it in your own hands, isn't it? Moreover, although Zhu Eighty-one did not tickle the killers, he showed no mercy to the big salt merchants in Huai'an City. Although the rumor has it that the salt merchants conspired against him in the first place. But who dares to guarantee that it wasn't Zhu Butcher who laid a trap first and asked the salt merchants to drill into it themselves?! Those are all masters with hundreds of thousands of dollars, kill them, and the military expenses for several years have come out. To be honest, if I replace my brother, I can't help but want to find a reason to kill them! ”

said something that was not only heartfelt, but also hidden. After hearing this, the hereditary Mongolian officials immediately sighed and nodded, "Lord Zuo Cheng is right, that Zhu Eighty-one is obviously going for someone else's family business. I thought things were too simple before, thanks to the reminder of the adults, otherwise, I would have been kept in the dark until I died! ”

"It's all Mongolians, how can I pit you!" Zuo Cheng Qi Zhedu of Henan Jiangbei Province also sighed with everyone and nodded with a smile. "Everyone, don't look at Zhu Butcher is proud now, but his rabbit tail can't grow. I heard from the elders in the capital city that the imperial court also made cannons, and hundreds of them were made at once. Lord Tokhtar also transferred enough troops and horses from Lingbei and Liaoyang provinces, and only when the army was well prepared, he could set off for the south. When the time comes, it will either be Bianliang or Huai'an. In short, now that the slaughterer of Zhu has descended, there may not be any good fruit to eat! ”

"Tooff, Tooff Prime Minister is ready to go south again?" The hereditary officials were surprised and delighted, and asked loudly. Surprisingly, it turned out that Qi Zhedu's guy was also a master with his hands and eyes open to heaven, but his ordinary appearance was relatively low-key. Happily, if the Tokhtar army goes south, Zhu Tuhu's soldiers and horses will definitely be unstable. As long as everyone guards the strong walls of Gaoyou City for two or three months, it is estimated that for the sake of the peace of the nest, the red turban thieves will have to go back to their respective homes. It's impossible to fight everyone to the end.

"It's coming, in a month or two. And I can also tell everyone for sure that the prime minister is the first to calm Huai'an. It's just that there are people in the court who don't know what to see and obstruct at the moment, so they can't decide the direction of attack for the time being! Che Zhe Du smiled and continued to nod slightly.

At this time, all the hereditary Mongolians were really reassured, and they all said that they would follow Che Zhedu and live and die with Gaoyou. Never let the Zhu butcher not even encounter any serious resistance like he did when he attacked Huai'an a few months ago.

"Can Lord Tokhtar really come and sweep the two Huai first?" Only Li Qi, the prefect of the Han people, was not as ignorant as the hereditary Mongol officials. Peeked at the mysterious Che Zhedu, and asked in his heart.

If Timur had suffered a defeat before he had suffered a defeat, Tokhtar would have been able to decide the direction of the main attack. After all, his friendship with the emperor was there, and as the right secretary of the court, his power and prestige were enough to make the courtiers not obstruct his mention.

However, Timur had just suffered a defeat, but Tokhtar, who was the right man of the middle school, thought of brotherhood and refused to hold this person accountable. In this way, it is equivalent to taking the initiative to send the handle to the hands of political enemies Hama, Ballu Timur and Xuexue. In the heart of Emperor Tuhuan Timur, the image of detachment has also transformed from a capable minister and a powerful minister. At this moment, if the DPRK and China really debate the direction of the main attack on the next step of counterinsurgency, Tokhtar may not be able to achieve what he says.

"Alright, let's go back and rest first!" Keenly aware of Li Qi's unusual demeanor, Qi Zhedu secretly glared at him, and then continued to say to his fellow brothers, "Just send the family over in time." As for the defense of the city, I don't dare to bother you. With me and Governor Li, it's enough to deal with it. If it really doesn't work, send someone to the door to ask for help. There is labor, there is labor! ”

"Then I'll be respectful and obey my fate!" The hereditary Mongol officials, eager to stay away from the battlefield, happily folded their hands and bid farewell to Chezhe. The latter took several main figures in the government to send them out of the gate, and when they turned around, they immediately changed to another solemn face, "The thieves are menacing, I estimate that Bao Ying can hold out for about ten days at most." Therefore, the second line of defense, I am going to set up in Fan Shui Village and Shijia Fort. There is a river Van between the two places, and you can communicate with each other by boat. If it is planned properly, it should not be a problem to drag the thief army for another ten days! ”

"I would like to ask a general to go to Fan Shuizhai." As soon as the words fell, Zhao Lian, the governor of the political affairs, arched his hand and took the initiative to ask for help.

"The last general is willing to go to the punctual fort!" The Uyghur general Guoguotai also bowed closely, willing to advance and retreat side by side with Zhao Lian.

"I can only give each of you 5,000 salt dings, and the other generals, you will take Hua Fu, Zhang Si, Zhang Jiuliu, Li Bosheng, and their respective men." Che Zhedu looked at the two of them and nodded in satisfaction. "Remember, don't come out to fight with the Zhu butcher, just defend by the river. The soldiers and horses that were defeated from Baoying, you also directly collected them, and let them defend the city together. If you can't hold it anymore, the two of you will retreat to Gaoyou Lake and Sheyang Lake. Then one returned to Gaoyou by water, and the other went directly to Xinghua. The main tactic is the word "drag", the more tired the red scarf thief is, the easier it will be for the official to fight in the back! ”

"Yes!" Zhao Lian and Guoguotai bowed down again, each received a general order, and went out to gather soldiers and horses. Nodding approvingly at the backs of the two, Qi Zhedu turned his back to Li Qi and said in a low voice, "Morale can be boosted, so no matter where the prime minister goes next, you and I must insist on telling everyone that he has to come to Gaoyou first!" ”

"The lowly job understands, the lowly job just now Meng Lang!" Prefect Li Qi's face was red, and he arched his hands to apologize to the other party.

"I don't blame you! You are a civilian official, and you don't understand the truth that soldiers don't get tired of cheating. Sometimes, it is not only the enemy who wants to deceive, but also your own people! Qi Zhedu smiled, turned his back to him and continued to shake his head and sigh, "The state is difficult, you and I must work together." Don't take those people's false words to heart. In fact, since the accession to the throne, there has been no longer a deliberate distinction between who is a Mongolian official, who is a Semu official, and who is a Han official. To be honest, I speak Chinese more fluently than Mongolian, including myself! ”

These words can be regarded as heartfelt. Li Qi was moved to tears, bowed down, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" My lord, my lord is kind. Humble position, humble position, how dare you care about a few nonsense words for no reason? Humble position, humble position is willing to live and die with adults and Gaoyou City! ”

"I shouldn't die, but you and I will definitely fight hard next!" Qi Zhedu smiled again, and explained to Li Qi very frankly, "That Zhu butcher can also be called a cautious person, and this can be deduced from the fact that he stopped moving immediately after he took Huai'an. So since he dares to come this time, he must be determined to win Gaoyou. Therefore, the two lines of defense of Baoying and Fan Shui may not be able to stop him. The real decision is still under Gaoyou City. I have already written a request for help to the imperial court, handed it to my henchmen, and quietly sent it out in the cargo ship heading north. Also to you in the same year, Dong Mengqi, the deputy envoy of Zhedong Xuanwei, wrote a letter, asking him to bring troops to help. Last year, he was preparing to have a showdown with Guo Thief Zixing, but because of the change in the people of the two Zhejiang, he was ordered to quell the chaos, and he had to let Guo Thief live. This time, I heard that Guo Zixing also came to find death, presumably he will not miss the opportunity again! ”

"Your Excellency is clever!" Li Qi was overjoyed when he heard this, and most of the worries in his heart suddenly flew away. That Dong Junxiao, Dong Mengqi is not an ordinary civil official, among the students who studied at the same time as him in Guozijian, this person is the only one who was born in a Han military family. Not only is the article splendid, but the immediate effort is also first-class. It is not an exaggeration to use the words "both civil and military" to describe it. (Note 1)

Not only that, after Dong Junxiao is released as an official, everywhere he goes, there will inevitably be bandits extinct. The number of unjust prisons and bullying of men and women in the localities has also dropped significantly. Both official and non-governmental have praised him.

With such a well-known and outstanding performance in quelling the chaos as the backing of the fierce generals of the world, it is no wonder that Qi Zhedu has always been calm and relaxed today. When everyone was under Gaoyou City and dragged Zhu Butcher to exhaustion, Dong Junxiao suddenly led a large army to kill him from the waterway. It is bound to be called the five-way red scarf thief Kou can not come and go, and there is no way to regret it!

Note 1: In the official history, Dong Junxiao was a fierce general at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, who defeated Guo Zixing, Liu Futong and others many times, and was later killed by the red turban general Mao Gui.
