"Soon after you left, the Tartars came to attack the city," the general lamented. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"It's my fault, and I didn't expect that there would be another plan after the Tartar plan...", Yang Bo also had some helplessness and remorse in his tone.

"When Lord Qiu saw that someone was attacking the city again, he thought you were outside the city... Got ambushed by the Tartars, so... And he said, "This high platform... He must not be able to hold it, so he will lead the army out of the city and flee...", the general manager continued to tell Yang Bo.

"Then no one persuaded him?" , Yang Bo asked angrily.

"Persuaded, but... I can't be persuaded at all...", explaining anxiously, "He said that if it wasn't for the Tartars who succeeded outside the city, they would definitely not come here to attack the city... He also said that the high platform could not be defended anyway, so it was better to rush to the aid of Ganzhou immediately to relieve the siege of Ganzhou..."

"Humph! To put it bluntly, isn't he just worried that something is going on in Ganzhou, he estimates that he wishes I would die outside the city! Yang Bo angrily slammed the table next to him.

He also said that he would rather ... sacrificing Gaotai, it is absolutely necessary to protect Ganzhou...", the general estimate is also angry with Qiu Luan, and now I think Yang Bo sued the "black state".

"This bastard!" , Yang Bo couldn't hold back the anger in his heart now, and actually scolded in front of all the soldiers.

"Later, most of the soldiers in the city were taken to help Ganzhou, and only me and a few hundred brothers stayed, but... We can't hold it anymore, so many brothers... Both...", I can't help but say this, thinking of so many brothers who died tragically just now, I can't help crying bitterly.

"Don't be sad...", Yang Bo patted the general shoulder and comforted him.

"Qiu Luan. I've got to make you look good! Yang Bo secretly swore in his heart.

But it was said that Qiu Luan led many soldiers. After a while, they rushed to Ganzhou.

And there are not many Tartar troops surrounding Ganzhou, and their purpose here is nothing more than to contain the defenders of Ganzhou. To prevent them from going to the rescue of Gaotai, the second is to confuse the Ganzhou army with the fact that Qiu Luan was caught, after all, they also know that Qiu Luan went to Gaotai City, maybe they were really deceived.

But when they saw that there were reinforcements coming to save Ganzhou, they couldn't help but panic. And the defenders in the city also recognized that this was Qiu Luan, and couldn't help but be happy. And since they knew that Qiu Luan had nothing to do, they had no worries, and simply opened the city gate and led the army to kill.

The Tartars who were surrounding the city of Ganzhou had no intention of fighting, and some of them were also transferred to Gaotai to help. They absolutely could not resist these two attacks, so they quickly fled from Ganzhou City.

Qiu Luan has returned to Ganzhou City, and when he saw that the city was fine, he was relieved for the most part. And he saw the enemy fleeing. The siege of Ganzhou was easily resolved, and I was even happier in my heart.

"Lord Qiu, you can come back, all the soldiers are worried to death...", Qiu Luan's generals hurriedly rushed to Qiu Luan's horse.

"Lord Qiu, now the enemy is fleeing. Do we want to chase? The other general hurriedly asked.

"No, you're tired after guarding the city for so long. Hurry up and go into the city to rest...", Qiu Luan was worried about Ganzhou, but now Ganzhou is safe. In addition, he himself is sleepy, and he doesn't want to get involved in the war anymore.

Now Qiu Luan has returned to Ganzhou. The heart is satisfied, and the previous worries are gone. But at this time, the thoughts and worries in Datong City are fermenting.

"Master Peng, there have been many wars these days, and after careful analysis, the purpose of the Tartars is not as simple as before, just want to break a small city, grab something, there may be other attempts...", Zeng Mill has been analyzing the situation of these side events in the past few days, and seems to have come to some different conclusions.

"This is obvious...", Peng Yue saw Zeng Miao's question, and replied a little carelessly, "The Tartars attacked the city, one is to grab things, and the other is to demonstrate to the imperial court and force the imperial court to open border market trade, after all, relying on such siege and robbery, their casualties are also very large, and it is inevitable that there will be times when the gains outweigh the losses..."

"That's not what I meant...", Zeng Mill explained, "You see that they are now attacking Liangzhou City, Liangzhou City is difficult and dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack..."

"Don't worry, Lord Zeng, the Tartars have no such ambition, they have long lost the ambition they had at the beginning, and now they have no intention of going south at all...", Peng Yue said with a smile, "Of course, they don't have the ability either." I'm afraid they want to capture some big cities, so let's negotiate with us on this condition. Liangzhou is surrounded by the Ming Realm on all sides, and even if they capture it, they can't defend it. ”

"I know that they are trying to force us to open border trade...", Zeng Mo saw that Peng Yue didn't understand what he meant, and couldn't help but be a little anxious, "I mean that they first kept disturbing the border in Datong Town, and at the same time attacked Liangzhou in the west, so that the west side is also in chaos." Although the Tartar army attacking Liangzhou was led by Alta, but the last time I guarded Datong, Altan also used it as a decoy at the north gate, so I guess..."

"You mean the Tartars have other plans?" , Peng Yue also vaguely understood Zeng Miao's thoughts.

"That's exactly what it means...", Zeng Miao's eyes were a little worried, "They have now made the central and western borders all tense, so will they take the opportunity..."

"Could it be that the Tartars will watch over the Jingshi?" , Peng Yue's heart suddenly tensed.

"You have to be careful...", Zeng Mo nodded hesitantly.

"Lord Zeng, why don't you and I write together and ask the imperial court to open the border market trade...", Peng Yue saw Zeng Mo raise this matter, and wanted to take the opportunity to persuade Zeng Mo to agree to his proposal to open a border market.

"Lord Zeng, the Tartars attacked and plundered the city like this, firstly, to rob things, and secondly, to force the imperial court to open a border city." Peng Yue began to recount his thoughts again, "A large part of the reason why they rob things is that they lack things, but if the border market trade is opened, they will be able to barter for things, and they will not have to risk their lives to rob them." In this way, the reason for their offense is gone. Therefore, instead of speculating here about where the Tartars are going to plunder today and tomorrow, we should agree with their proposition of opening a border city. That way, we don't have to worry about the Tartars all day long. And we also take what we need, through the border trade, we will get a lot of high-quality war horses..."

"Master Peng, don't say it anymore...", Zeng Miao's expression was a little unnatural, "Since ancient times, ambition has swelled with strength, and they have no ambition to go south now, which does not mean that their strength will increase in the future." We are now fulfilling their demands in exchange for a moment of peace, but this is actually a real problem! At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, he repeatedly made peace with the Xiongnu, but in the end, he still had to rely on Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to conquer the Xiongnu in order to keep peace forever..."

Every time he said this, Peng Yue was speechless. Indeed, now that Mongolia has no intention of going south, who can guarantee that they will not have the heart to go south when they become stronger? Like the Liaodong Jurchen, what did he have the ambition of the world at the beginning, but it was not an idea born after being strong. And the reason why Houjin is getting stronger and stronger is not because some advanced technological things in the Central Plains have been transmitted there.

"Lord Peng, if you want the Tartars not to offend, you can only completely eliminate them, or reduce their strength as much as possible. Trying to exchange meat for the forbearance of hungry wolves will end badly. And to reduce their strength, we must start by recovering the Hetao, so that we can not only have high-quality war horses ourselves..."

"Master Zeng, you're right, I understand what you mean...", Peng Yue saw that Zeng Mian had brought up the matter of recovering the Hetao again, and hurriedly interrupted him.

"Lord Zeng, it is imperative to speculate on the movements of the Tartars, lest they cause even more damage..."

Zeng Mo saw Peng Yue's intentions, but it was inconvenient to say it clearly, so he had to smile reluctantly: "Didn't you already say it just now, the main thing is to prevent the Tartars from trying to attack Jingshi, and this possibility... Very large..."(To be continued.) )
