(There is another chapter updated at ten o'clock in the evening)

In the general army of Datong, Wei Daben, the prefect of Datong, was chatting with Cao Yue.

"Cao Zongbing, after the hard work and efforts of the people of Datong, the main city of Datong and the nearby guards have been repaired, this is the maintenance record," Wei Daben handed over a manuscript to Cao Yue, and then said with a smile: "Cao Zongbing asked the people to enter the city to hide before the Jiannu attack, and then led the army to defeat the invading Jiannu, and achieved a great victory, the people were greatly encouraged, many people did not care about the remuneration, and volunteered to help, so the repair of the Datong city wall progressed very quickly, more than two months have passed, and it has been completed. The government personally led people to inspect, and the overall repair situation is quite satisfactory. ”

"Lord Wei has worked hard, this is related to the effective mobilization of the adults, before the Jiannu attack, it was the Wei prefect who personally sent people to persuade the people to take refuge in the city, so that many people escaped the killing and plundering of the Jiannu, you are the parent official of the people of Datong, and the general also admires you," Cao Yue politely praised Wei Daben by the way, and then sighed slightly, "Unfortunately, there are still many people who have suffered from the misery of Jiannu, I really hope that one day, all the external troubles can be eliminated, so that the people will no longer worry and be afraid all day long, and they can live a good life in peace and contentment." !”

"General Cao Bing is really worried about the country and the people, and the government admires him very much," Wei Daben glanced at Cao Yue twice, but didn't find that Cao Yue was just talking about the words, his expression was sincere, and he couldn't help but praise: "There are very few leading generals in the Ming army like Cao Zongbing!"

"This is the sorrow of the Ming Dynasty," Cao Yue smiled bitterly twice, and said with emotion: "The Ming Dynasty has fallen into such a situation today, there are enemies on the outside, and there are rogues on the inside, mainly because most of the officials of the Ming Dynasty have been corrupted, and the ministers of the DPRK and China are only for their own fame and fortune, and the military generals want to accumulate wealth and preserve their strength the most." If, up and down the Ming Dynasty, can do that the ministers do not love money, and the generals do not hesitate to die, then the world will not be in chaos like it is now!"

Hearing Cao Yue say so bluntly, Wei Daben was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"I'm not talking about the Wei Governor's Mansion," Cao Yue also understood that what he said was a little too straightforward, and quickly explained with a smile: "The Wei Governor's Mansion is a rare good official in my Ming Dynasty, at least during this time, Lord Wei gave me such a feeling, and he was also deeply loved by the people." I'm young, straight-minded, what do I have to say, if there is anything that offends Lord Wei, please bear with me!"

"Lord Cao's words are serious," Wei Daben smiled, "Actually, I am also a straight person, and I have a lot of fun with Mr. Cao." If you have anything to do with Lord Cao in the future, or have any opinions on so-and-so, please feel free to say it directly. ”

"That's good, I'll say something in the future, but I also said okay, if there is anything that offends Lord Wei in the future, please forgive me!" Cao Yue laughed twice, and then said: "Lord Wei, although Jiannu was beaten away, I think they will not give up and will come back to Datong, so we must be strictly vigilant, especially the guards on the front line of the Great Wall must not be taken lightly, and the broken Great Wall must also be repaired, otherwise it will be too easy for Jiannu to come and go." Also, according to the investigation of his subordinates, the rogues led by Li Yan have signs of committing Datong, and they should be interested in Datong's money and silver. Last year, Henan and Shaanxi were both devastated, and the life of the Liukou was not very easy, otherwise they would not have taken the risk of fighting Datong. ”

"The rogues want to commit Datong, is this true?" As soon as he heard Cao Yue solemnly talk about this, Wei Daben also became serious.

"It should be true, we have captured the spies of the rogue coars, and the level of the spies is not low. If the rogues didn't want to invade Datong, they shouldn't have sent someone of that level to inquire about the military!" Cao Yue didn't tell Wei Daben about the Red Lady, the Red Lady was captured and finally convicted, and only the most trusted people around him knew, and he strictly ordered his subordinates not to reveal the matter.

However, Cao Yue is not very able to understand that Li Zicheng's army is going to commit Datong at this time, after all, Li Zicheng's power is not very big now, they have not completely occupied Shaanxi and Henan, it can be said that Li Zicheng is still in the gradual expansion of power, occupying more territory, and has not yet had the strength to attack Beijing and completely bury the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, what the army under Li Zicheng had to do was to defeat the official army of Shaanxi and Henan, and put these two places under his rule as his rear. After stabilizing these occupied territories, he considered attacking Shanxi and Beijing, overthrowing the Ming Dynasty, and becoming the emperor himself.

Now Li Zicheng's army is about to attack Datong, a fortified city in the north, and Cao Yue can't think of any reason.

To the south and west of Datong, there are many cities controlled by the Ming official army, Datong is close to the Great Wall, Jiannu often invades the south from this direction, even if Jiannu occupies Datong, it is difficult to hold, because it is possible to encounter the attack of the Ming official army and Jiannu in two directions.

But the incident of the Red Lady proves that Li Yan's army does have signs of attacking Datong.

However, Wei Daben's words made Cao Yuemao pause.

Li Zicheng is still quite smart, he knows that the Datong army led by Wang Pu has been lost in the Battle of Songshan, so he wants to take advantage of the weakness to attack and take all the money, food, and weapons of Datong. I believe that Cao Zongbing also knows the situation in Datong, because it is an important town on the nine sides, Wang Pu's net worth is good, the money and salary of the Datong army are still much more generous than other military towns, and Datong has a lot of grain, so the Liukou will focus on this and want to take advantage of the fire to rob," Speaking of this, Wei Daben couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Fortunately, Cao Zongbing arrived and trained his troops on the orders of the emperor, and this time he defeated Jiannu's army." I believe that when the rogues heard about this, they didn't dare to come to Datong again. ”

"It turns out that the Liukou wanted to take advantage of the collapse of the Datong army to take the opportunity to capture Datong and loot it, Wei Daben's analysis is still quite reasonable, why haven't I thought about this aspect? Hehe, IQ is a little insufficient," Wei Daben's words made Cao Yue's doubts in his heart be lifted at once, and after sighing in his heart, he immediately echoed a sentence: "I really hope that as Lord Wei said, when Liukou heard the news of Jiannu's defeat under Datong City, he no longer dared to fight Datong's idea, and the people of Datong no longer had to suffer from the flames of war." ”

"I hope so, but we can't pin our hopes on the difficulties of the Liukou and retreat, we must be on strict guard, if the Liukou dare to attack, we must find a way to repel it, the training of the Datong New Army has just begun, and it is still far from becoming an army, in the next time, the general will also train the new army and strive to train a hundred elite soldiers to come out," Cao Yue said, got up, and saluted Wei Daben, "Many things, I also hope to get the support of Lord Wei." I really hope that in the future, we can work together to defend against foreign enemies!"

Wei Daben hurriedly got up and returned the salute: "Lord Cao is polite, this is the responsibility of this government, and this government will support Lord Cao's military training." ”

"Okay, I hope that our sincere cooperation can build Datong into a fortified city with copper walls and iron walls, so that any enemy who comes to attack will be under the city of Datong!" Cao Yue stretched out his hand to Wei Daben.

"It must be so!" Wei Daben was stunned for a moment, and finally stretched out his hand to shake Cao Yue, "I feel very lucky to work with Cao Zongbing!"

"Haha! Cao Mou is too, doing things with Lord Wei is really exciting," Cao Yue shook Wei Daben's hand tightly, and said with a smile: "Lord Wei, if we are free today, we will open our minds and talk about things related to the Datong guards!"

"Good!"

Just when Cao Yue and Wei Daben were discussing how to train troops and strengthen the city defense of Datong, Li Yan was also discussing fiercely with his generals whether to attack Datong!
