Lu Bing's eyes lit up, and he also lowered his voice: "Go on." ”

Sky Wolf said: "This time Qiu Luan reported the matter of Zeng Milling Governor Zeng, what is the inside story, can the commander-in-chief find out?" ”

Lu Bing nodded: "Qiu Luan is a hereditary general, his grandfather Qiu Yue, was a Ningxia guerrilla general during the Zhengde Dynasty, quelled the rebellion of the king of Anhua, made great contributions to the country, and finally became the Earl of Xianning, the general soldier of Ningxia, and Qiu Luan is his grandson, who took the title of grandfather, and also became the general of Xianninghou, the chief soldier of Gansu, and is considered a senior general of our dynasty." ”

"But this General Qiu, his grandfather's ability to fight did not learn Sancheng, but he wantonly embezzled and took bribes, bullied his subordinates, and deducted military salaries, and once thought about fighting with the Mongols when he was the governor of the three sides, but this General Qiu was afraid that the war would start, disturbing his good life, and would make his command ability public to the world, so he tried his best to obstruct it."

"On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve last year, Zeng Milling received a secret report that the Mongols were gathering somewhere and were defenseless, so they temporarily gathered all the soldiers and horses to attack, and Qiu Luan and other generals did not want to miss their New Year, so they bought off the heralds around Zeng Mill, and said that Zeng Mill's concubine wanted to give up this battle."

"As a result, Zeng Mill beheaded the herald on the spot, and no one dared to disobey Zeng Mill's general order, the army attacked, ran in the heavy snow for two days and three nights, and finally broke the Mongols, beheading hundreds, but after coming back, Zeng Mill punished Qiu Luan for obstructing military affairs, and went to prison, and the impeachment of his recital and Zeng Miao's recovering the Hetao were almost at the same time as the Beijing Division."

The wolf said hatefully: "So in order to save his life, this incompetent straw bag colluded with Yan Song's father and son to frame Governor Zeng, right?" ”

Lu Bing sighed: "This is also to blame Zeng Mill for not being able to manage his own family, that Chinese New Year's Eve, he not only beheaded that herald. also severely punished the concubine who entered the speech, the herald was actually the younger brother of the concubine, so this woman held a grudge and stole all the letters of Zeng Mi and Xia Yantong guò, and secretly handed them over to Qiu Luan, Qiu Luan inherited his grandfather's position as the chief soldier by taking Yan Song's door, and this time in order to save his life, he handed these letters directly to the emperor and sued Zeng Mian for the crime of rebellion against the ministers. ”

The Heavenly Wolf was sad for a while when he heard this: "It's a pity that such a loyal minister as Governor Zeng was actually harmed by the villain like this. In view of this, he should also bring down the traitor Qiu Luan and avenge Governor Zeng. ”

A cold glint flashed in Lu Bing's eyes: "Heavenly wolf, this is a military matter, you can't say anything." Zeng is indeed ambitious and wants to make a difference. But his proposal was too much to burn money. In order to recover the Hetao, tens of thousands of troops must be stationed there for a long time, and the city must be stationed there, and even the Great Wall must be rebuilt to encircle the entire Hetao. ”

"This kind of large-scale spending is beyond our Daming's ability to bear, especially in the past two years, he has been frequently out of the jam. But most of them returned in vain, wasting money and food in vain, and the emperor supported his idea at first, but after more than two years. Seeing that millions of taels of silver were thrown every year, but even the Mongols didn't see a few, they began to change their views. And according to my investigation, Zeng Milling did also have the behavior of turning defeat into victory and falsely reporting military exploits, this kind of state affairs, it is difficult to say whether it is right or wrong, as far as I personally think, Yan Song's method of guarding the dangerous place on the border is higher than Zeng Milling. ”

The wolf said loudly: "I don't see it that way, since ancient times, if my Han people deal with these steppe bandits, only defend and not attack, then it will only be thousands of miles of the Great Wall, and they will be beaten passively everywhere, although the governor of Zeng did not make a big gain, but it also made the Mongols flee from the wind, at least to keep the peace on the three sides, if the governors and guards in various places can take the initiative to attack like him, then the Mongols will not form a border trouble." ”

Lu Bing shook his head: "Sky wolf, your idea is too naïve, when will you have the opportunity to go to the grassland to see the Mongolian cavalry, you won't think so, these steppe robbers are all riding horses, coming and going, our army on the nine sides is already the elite of the Ming Dynasty, but still can't catch up with their high mobility, usually these robbers are in groups of several hundred, break through a side block, grab and run, and when my army arrives, you can't even see the shadow of the people, if there are fewer people to go, you will be ambushed by these robbers halfway, take advantage of the situation to besiege, Very headache. ”

"At that time, my Ming Dynasty's founding generals Xu Da and Li Wenzhong were also out of the fortress, wanting to sweep the cave in Liting and completely eliminate the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty's forces, but even with their generals, they couldn't find a way in the vast desert, they were ambushed, and almost all the troops were wiped out, and it was not easy to open a bloody road and retreat to the pass, and the Yongle Emperor also personally conquered Mobei many times, and did not completely eliminate Mongolia, even the blue jade general who claimed to eliminate Mongolia and made immortal achievements, only captured the prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and captured their jade seal."

The Heavenly Wolf frowned: "The Mongols are also human, the Mongolian steppe is vast and sparsely populated, and the tribes are in a state of division, attacking each other, why is it so difficult to eliminate?" ”

Lu Bing sighed: "The vast desert, Kokand is like a sea of smoke, much larger than our Central Plains, those Mongolians graze for a living, the four seasons are steep, there is no fixed place, unlike our Han people are built cities and live, so it is difficult to catch them, these people can't beat the tent roll, run away without a trace, and wait for us to retreat and then come back to harass, so since ancient times, we have no good way to deal with Mongolia." ”

Tian Wolf still can't accept this conclusion: "Not necessarily, such as Han Zhihuo to get sick, Wei Qing, my Chaozhi Lanyu, take the initiative to attack, use the whole cavalry force, isn't it also able to defeat the Huns and seal the wolf Juxu?" ”

Lu Bing laughed: "What about after sealing the wolf Juxu?" Wei Huo's prestige is an achievement, but behind this is the Han Wu Emperor Dynasty, almost spent all the family resources of Wenjing for decades, the population has been reduced by half, and the threat of the Xiongnu has not been completely eliminated, General Lan Yu claimed to have eliminated the Northern Yuan, but the Tatars and Vale came again, and within a few decades, the Mongolian cavalry hit the Beijing division again, and even our emperor of the Ming Dynasty was taken prisoner, so the emperor began to be excited for a while, and later after calming down, he also knew that Zeng Miao's approach was not feasible, of course, it was the collusion with Xia Yan that put him to death, the emperor will not tolerate the ministers and border generals having private contact. ”

Heavenly Wolf secretly said in his heart, I'm afraid he won't tolerate these courtiers who want to make a difference to disturb your immortal cultivation affairs. But he changed the topic: "I won't talk about Zeng Miao's matter, Qiu Luan cleared his own charge by framing Zeng Miao's and Xia Yan, and now I'm afraid that he has been reinstated." ”

Lu Bing shook his head: "Not to mention the reinstatement of the official, he also transferred from the Gansu General Army to the Datong General Army, this place is directly the gateway of the Beijing Division, and it is the most important border fortress of my Ming Dynasty. ”

Sky Wolf laughed: "That's it, if you change someone else, maybe it's a lack of fat, but for this straw bale general who just wants to make money, this place is not a blessed place for him, he can't continue to eat empty salaries and drink soldiers' blood, but he has to worry about the Mongols all day long, right." ”

Lu Bing said "um": "What you said makes sense, but Yan Song put him in this position, probably because he wanted the Mongols not to come for a few years, or not to come from Datong, so that Qiu Luan could also rely on the merit of guarding the border to rise up." It's just that Qiu Luan is very cautious, and with Zeng Miao's experience, he will not be stupid enough to leave any evidence such as letters to others to attack him. ”

Sky Wolf's eyes sparkled: "Commander Lu, the matter is man-made, I believe that this Qiu Luan must have a handle, I entered Jinyiwei to benefit the country, whether it is public or private, getting rid of Qiu Luan is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, now I want to fight back against Yan Song's father and son, and get rid of the Qiu Luan they pulled out of one hand, this effect is much greater than killing an oriental maniac."
