Zhang Ru spread his hands helplessly, sat down and poured a cup of tea, poured a brain into his throat and explained: "Don't you understand, what is the purpose of the Tatar Great Khan?

Blot, Dzhekobe, and Alibu, these three people can be said to be my old acquaintances, who experienced the first battle of Datong, and if it weren't for their defection, the 300,000 army might have broken the Datong dialectic.

I can't do it right away with them, because it's very unkind. ”

"Renyi is a hammer, now they occupy the territory of my Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu said when he was there, not an inch of land. What you are doing now can be said to be a flagrant violation of the ancestral teachings. "Zhang An didn't have a good airway.

He was really a little angry, and he made such a big battle, and mobilized hundreds of thousands of border troops in Xuanfu, Jizhen, Datong, Shanxi and other places, with only one purpose, that is, to keep the enemy out of the country.

Now it's a good thing, the brigade retreated, leaving a small group of men and horses to occupy the border town fortress of the Ming Dynasty.

If this is spread out, not to mention how the people think of the border army, even they themselves will look down on themselves.

Zhang Ru reached out and stroked Zhang An's back, and brought the teacup to Zhang An's mouth: "Okay, okay, okay, when you are old, where can you get so much anger."

Since Tu Hu wants to borrow my Da Ming's hand to get rid of the thorn in his eye, if I Da Ming really does it, wouldn't it be in his hands.

This time the Tatar army retreated, and who knows if he will make a comeback next time. What Da Ming has to do now is not to fight, but to try to maintain his combat effectiveness.

It is not so simple to seek a breakthrough in stability.

Now there are a lot of internal and external troubles, Your Majesty and I are not ready for war, but at this time, the enemy is coming, what else can we do?

If they want to fight, you will fight, and they will not stop fighting.

If they don't fight, then let them stay in Yajiao Mountain. There is not much food in Guancheng, and now it is the Brott who are most afraid of time, not us.

When they can't hold on anymore, they will naturally come to us and beg for mercy. ”

"What if they don't beg for mercy!" Zhang An's face was slightly pale.

"If they don't ask for mercy, they will die. Now they don't dare to attack, that proves that they are afraid of death. Zhang Ru said calmly.

Zhang An patted his head: "I really don't know how your head grows, so many twists and turns." ”

Zhang Ru smiled and didn't speak.

He wanted to say that I have hundreds of years of knowledge more than you, and that I have read more intrigue novels in my previous life than you have written. I was afraid that after I said it, I would scare Zhang An, and I would let the old general enter the loess mound early.

"So what are you going to do next?" Zhang An asked again.

Zhang Ru replied: "The Xuanfu border army should not leave Datong for the time being, and set up camp in Datong." The men and horses of Jizhen and Shanxi all returned to their positions and prepared for battle.

Next, I want to clear my internal worries. ”

Zhang Anluo stood up with a snort and looked at Zhang Ru with a frightened expression: "Boy, don't you can't think about it!" Although the ministers of the DPRK and China have different political views from you, if you dare to kill you, the old man will not let you go. ”

Kill important ministers in the court? Then it is really a great crime of rebellion.

If an official is guilty, the emperor will naturally punish him, and it will not be Zhang Ru's turn to kill a courtier at any time.

Zhang Ru smiled and said: "I find that you are becoming more and more worried, don't you know who I, Zhang Wenxuan, are." Do it to the minister, unless I'm tired of it.

I'm talking about the White Lotus Sect. ”

Zhang An worried: "The people of the White Lotus Sect are elusive, and they are nothing more than a disease of moss mustard to my Ming Dynasty, and you have made such a huge noise, and the waste of manpower and financial resources is not a small amount." ”

Zhang Ru raised his head and looked at Zhang An seriously: "Zhang Wenxuan puts state affairs first, so the first thing I did when I came to Datong was to lead a large army to attack Tatars." But people can't help but be affectionate, and all my brothers who were born and died several times in thousands of households are the same, and now my brother is missing. Missing together, there are also thousands of brothers from Jinyiwei Datong Thousand Households.

They were all warriors who had fought against the White Lotus Sect for a long time, but now they didn't see anyone alive or dead. I'm a court official, but I'm also a human being, and now that I'm done, I have to go to them. ”

"I've heard a few things about it, but it's so weird that so many people can't just disappear into thin air. Moreover, there were no large-scale armed fights in Datong, and no one seemed to know where they went. Don't you think it's basically impossible for such a thing to happen? Zhang An is not at ease at all, he has been in the army for decades, and he has never heard of such a strange thing.

If it happened in the uninhabited grassland, everything would be possible, after all, there could be a plague in the grassland, and there would be unknown swamps that could easily take thousands of lives.

However, the place where the incident happened was in the Datong Thousand Households in the city of Datong, and no one in Datong knew how these people disappeared, which is a bit unbelievable.

Zhang Ru said firmly: "No matter what danger it is, no matter what moths the White Lotus Sect makes, I must leave this trip." Otherwise, I'm sorry for the brother who was born and died with me, and I'm sorry for those brothers in Datong Qianhu. ”

"You bring more people, be careful all the way, this side of the fortress, with me, you don't have to worry." Zhang An understands some of Zhang Ru's thoughts very well, because he has also had such a time.

He didn't think much about it, so much so that later, after he knew the truth, he even wanted to pull Fan Tong out and scold the fifty military sticks. Of course, that's a story for later.

After arranging everything in Datong, basically all the generals who could be used went to the border fortress, and Zhang Ru took 2,000 people to go to the station of Datong Thousand Households with the detectives sent by the Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi and the Nanzhen Fusi.

With the order of the Shanxi Political Envoy, the station still maintained the situation when Jiang Wei and the others disappeared, there were dozens of people watching outside, and no one dared to go in half a step.

After Zhang Ru successfully took over the defense, those people left with a sense of relief, and anyone who stayed in such a strange place would feel creepy. What's more, they insisted on guarding this station, not only during the day, but also at night.

If it weren't for the fact that they had given enough money, these people would not have dared to come.

The detective masters of the North and South Second Towns Fu Division are not afraid of this kind of ghost thing, they have seen too many things, and there are really a lot of strange things encountered during the investigation, but they don't believe in gods and ghosts as much as ordinary people.

The people of the North and South Zhenfu Divisions obviously did not get along well with each other, and the leaders of the two sides each brought their own people into the station, but they groped their way in one direction by one.

The detective master of the Beizhen Fusi is named Meng Fu, and his ancestors are all born in the past, and his father once joined the Beizhen Fusi, and later the position of this military household was left for him.

The master on Nanzhen's side of Fusi is called Xiao Anu, a woman with five big and three thick, not very good-looking, but she is very arrogant, no wonder Meng Fu can't get used to it.

Meng Fu to the east, Xiao Anu to the west.

The footprints in the station were very messy, but there were no traces of a fight, and the footprints on the ground were rarely intact.

After a careful search again, no footprints of half of the other people were found in the direction he was responsible for in the entire station.

After entering the barracks, all the things in the barracks were neatly arranged, and there was not a trace of blood on the ground or walls. To his surprise, everything in the kitchen was rotten, but there were no toxins in it.

Looking at the increasingly frightening scene, Meng Fu unwillingly began to wander around the station.

Only halfway through, he found that Xiao Anu was doing the same thing as him, and the other party's eyes were also full of incredulity.

For the sake of the progress of the case, Meng Fu reluctantly shouted Xiao Anu: "You didn't find other people's footprints either?" ”

Xiao Anu nodded with a cold face, and an ominous premonition surged into the hearts of the two of them at the same time.

After going around the entire station together, it was already dusk, but fortunately, there was a lot of open space on the side of the Datong Thousand Households Station, which was enough for Zhang Ru to set up camp with more than 2,000 people.

The two detective masters walked out of the station with more than 20 detective masters with gloomy faces, and Zhang Ru's expectations came to naught. Looking at the faces of the two, you can know that this time is not an ordinary tricky matter.

"How?" Although he already knew that there was a high probability that there would be no progress, Zhang Ru couldn't help but ask.

Meng Fu and Xiao Anu glanced at each other, one pursed his lips, and the other lowered his head.

Zhang Ru was a little anxious: "You guys are talking!" Aren't you the detective master of the brocade guard, you see what you find, and tell it all. ”

"My lord, we didn't see anything, we didn't find anything." Seeing that Xiao Anu had made up his mind not to speak, Meng Fu had no choice but to reply with a hard head.

Zhang Ru was stunned: "What do you mean, what do you mean that you haven't found anything?" Could it be that all the people inside disappeared out of thin air? ”

"Back to the adult, I really didn't find anything, all the footprints on the ground are official boots, which means that no outsiders have ever entered here. The possibility that adults say is not impossible. Xiao Anu still kept a straight face, but he was a little more careful when talking to Zhang Ru.

The person Zhou Li, who was sent to Nanzhen Fusi, was very rigid like himself. But as long as Nanzhen Fusi is a person from Zhou Li, he knows that there is a person in the capital who must not be provoked. This person is none other than Zhang Ru standing in front of Xiao Anu.

Zhang Ru looked at the two of them with a strange expression, then waved his hand to signal the others to leave, and beckoned the two to enter his military tent.

As soon as he entered the military tent, Zhang Ru immediately asked: "Is it possible that they are dead, now I can say it, I can stand it." ”

Meng Fu glanced at Xiao Anu with an even more strange expression, and then said carefully: "My lord, my subordinates don't know whether to say a word or not." ”
