Wang Jin nodded: "Yes, Daming sent troops to attack Xingxing Gorge, but did not attack directly, but stationed in Hongliuhe." Hongliu River is located in the east of Xingxing Gorge, which can be attacked when entering and can go straight back to Dunhuang. For Ba Ra, a Ming army stationed outside the Star Gorge, even if it does not attack, it is like a fish in the throat, and it is impossible to leave it alone, but if you want to repel it, it is simply not enough to rely on the army left behind by Ba Ra. What's more, Ya Ra will also be afraid that we will really copy his back road, so he will definitely not go deep into the grassland. This would give Kublai Khan a chance to catch his breath. ”

After saying so much at once, Wang Jin had a painful look on his face, and he couldn't help coughing lightly twice. The wounds left by the Battle of Xingxing Gorge have not yet healed, and they are still tormenting him every moment. Especially when Wang Jin talked about "Xingxing Gorge" and "Hongliu River", the painful look on his face was not because of the pain on his body, but because of the pain in his heart.

"But what about Haidu? The sea can't sit idly by. Zhang Jue was a little puzzled, "In the final analysis, Ba Ra is still a general under Haidu, and it is impossible for Haidu to let it go." ”

"Haidu wishes we could do it." Yang Feng suddenly spoke.

"Huh?" Zhang Jue was stunned for a moment.

Yang Feng said unhurriedly: "The main reason why Haidu raised troops was that Kublai Khan intended to mobilize the khanates of the Western Regions to participate in the war when the Mongolian soldiers were insufficient, and the khanates of the Western Regions originally had a gap with the Mongolian headquarters, and it would be very good if the two sides did not meet each other, so whether it was Haidu or Bara, there was no way to ensure that the army under his command would not be pushed to the front line by Kublai Khan to become cannon fodder, so Haidu was forced to embark on the road of confrontation with Kublai Khan, but in fact, the situation has developed to this point, for Haidu, The complete annexation of Kublai Khan is not a good thing. ”

Tang Zhen and the others all nodded, now neither Kublai Khan nor Haidu can make up their minds to annex each other, because it means that the probability of success is not high and the vitality is inevitably damaged. And once one side is destroyed, the other side may have to face the overwhelming Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty, which is simply unbearable for Mongolia, which is now weak and divided, so in the end there is only one possibility of the destruction of the whole army.

The sea is not stupid, Kublai Khan is not stupid, so they have to do everything in their power to maintain this somewhat strange but extremely important balance.

Therefore, if Ba Ra attacks Kublai Khan, Haidu will definitely find a way to get Ba Ra back. Once the Ming army enters Xingxing Gorge, Ba Ra will inevitably withdraw his troops, which means that Hai will not spend a single soldier to achieve his goal, so why should he not do it.

Therefore, when the Ming army marched into Xingxing Gorge, Haidu did not say that it would not send troops, and it was even possible to applaud.

In fact, there is a more important reason, everyone understands it in their hearts, but no one points it out. That is, Kublai Khan's defeat in the Battle of Dunhuang, his vitality was greatly damaged, coupled with the aggressive offensive posture of the Ming Dynasty in all directions, so Kublai Khan had to deal with it with all his strength, so at this time, a strong Haidu Alliance was definitely not a good thing for Kublai Khan, and it was even possible that after the Ming defeated Kublai Khan, it would become a strong opponent that the Ming had to face, and it was even difficult to defeat.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty has actually set out to weaken the strength of the Haidu Department from now on. In the final analysis, the Haidu Department is just a loose alliance, and it is naturally easy to fall apart under the intentional control of Jinyiwei, and the eight tribes sent troops without authorization, which is actually the completion of the first step. This is followed by the second step.

Haidu faced the danger of Bara, and did not move. Even if Haidu does have many, many reasons that can be explained, even the most clumsy excuse such as "Ba Ra did not obey orders and rashly marched as a punishment" can be justified, but in any case, as long as Hai does not send troops, it is equivalent to forming a gap within the alliance.

Of course, the khanates and tribes below did not want to see themselves cut off by others one day, while Haidu Khan, whom they were loyal to, sat behind with a large army and could not save them. The alliance, which was already loose, was basically completely disintegrated after this time. Da Ming only needs one victory to turn the entire Haidu Department into a piece of scattered sand.

After a moment of silence, Tang Zhen said those two words again, but this time in an affirmative tone: "Send troops!" ”

Gao Gao and Zhang Jue glanced at each other, and Huo Ran stepped forward: "Send troops!" ”

Liang Yanwu, the governor of the Daming River West Province with the highest official rank here, slowly lowered his hand, stood up as if he had made up his mind, and nodded: "Send troops!" ”

Yang Feng, who was standing under the pillar, had a smile on the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, a herald walked quickly into the meeting hall: "Enlighten all the ministers, the south of the city has found Tibetan reinforcements!" ”

"Tibetan reinforcements?" Liang Yanwu and the others all showed a look of surprise on their faces, and they immediately turned into smiles.

"This Tibetan person also knows when he should make a contribution and share the pie!" Tang Zhen couldn't help but say with a smile.

Several generals in the council hall who held the power of life and death in the entire Hexi glanced at each other and laughed.

Although the Tibetans were a day late, they were not slow. In this way, the Ming Dynasty had a greater certainty in the next battle of Hexi.

And Wang Jin squinted his eyes and looked at Yutu.

Hongliu River, Xingxing Gorge.

The pain and wound of the heart must be baptized with the blood of the Mongolian Tartar!

"Whew!" With a whistling, the door of the council hall, which was originally half-covered, suddenly parted to both sides, and the howling wind swept straight into the hall, with a moist breath, which surprised everyone in the hall. Before they could come to their senses, the fine and dense rains were already intertwined in front of the court, and the raindrops continued to fall down the eaves and beat the steps.

The cold and dry city of Dunhuang was shrouded in dense spring rain almost instantly.

Why should Qiang Di complain about the willows, the spring breeze does not pass the jade gate.

In this March wind, the breath of spring finally descended on this city.

Even if it was delayed, it still caused the whole city to cheer, and even standing in this heavily guarded council hall, you could still see the officials and soldiers pouring out outside, watching the long-lost ups and downs in surprise.

The last trace of cold and wind seemed to be covered by this spring rain at this moment.

"Spring has finally arrived." Wang Jin sighed softly.

"yes, spring has arrived." Gundam and Liang Yanwu turned to look out the door, listening to the cheers that came with the wind, and also looked at the figures running in surprise.

Tang Zhen and Zhang Jue, the two younger generals, glanced at each other, and they both saw the joy on each other's faces.

Spring rain moistens all things, a good omen.

Especially when the Ming Dynasty was preparing to fight with the Mongolian Tartars in Hexi.

―--

Thousands of miles away from Hexi, Jiangnan.

March is the most beautiful time in the south of the Yangtze River. Fireworks in Yangzhou in March, in fact, not only Yangzhou, but also the north and south of the river, inside and outside the Wujiang River, thousands of purples and thousands of reds are in full bloom. The green hills are dotted with the color of flowers, and the streets and alleys of the town, waiting for the vitality of a winter, are flourishing at this moment.

The former Song Dynasty did not control the commerce in the town as the Tang Dynasty, but it was completely liberalized in the Ming Dynasty, and the streets of the entire city were lined up with rows of shops on both sides. And with the beginning of spring ploughing, the people in the towns below also went into the city to buy supplies for more than half a year. As for those literati and scholars, they naturally will not let go of this good opportunity, and almost everywhere in the city where you can see the scenery of the third point, there are people dressed as scribes who chant poems.

For the city of Nanjing, the beginning of spring has awakened the vitality in the soul of almost the entire capital people. Ten miles of Qin Huai, drunk gold fans. This in the Southern Song Dynasty in the past hundred years, because of the war and dissipation of the prosperous ten-mile Qinhuai, finally once again showed its charm. Along the banks of the Qinhuai River in ten miles, restaurants, tile houses, teahouses, and green buildings have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and even the painting boats on the river have doubled unconsciously.

The prosperity of Qinhuai did not attract the intervention of the government, and even the Nanjing government has always supported it. The opening of a restaurant means that Nanjing Mansion has a lot of taxes every year, not to mention these restaurants along the river, the service objects are all the imperial court magnates in Nanjing, for Nanjing Mansion, casually arresting a person in it, it may be a relative of the emperor who cannot afford to offend.

What's more, His Majesty the Emperor has always praised the thriving capital under his nose, and Nanjing Mansion is naturally happy to see that Qinhuai is more prosperous, and "prosperous" is prosperous.

Ten miles of Qinhuai is the soul of the wind and moon in Nanjing City, and the most beautiful time of Qinhuai is still night. The restaurants and green buildings along the river hang their own lanterns at the same time, in various forms and colors, illuminating the entire Qinhuai and even half of Nanjing City as if it were daytime, and the painting boats on the river are even more passing through like a shuttle, you can vaguely see the staggered figures and toasting postures on the painting boats, and you can hear the shouts of people and the sound of outstanding musicians singing and dancing.

Ten miles Qin Huai seemed to crush all the magnates of Nanjing City in it.

A figure skillfully squeezed through the crowd, and many people turned their heads to scold this short-eyed guy, but found that where could they still find this guy? This thin man crossed two streets in a row and ran directly onto a bridge in the middle of Qinhuai.

The boat cut through the water and slowly crossed the high bridge, and the pedestrians on the bridge pointed at the boats below, their faces full of smiles.

The thin man rushed to the bridge in three steps and two steps, and saw the person he was looking for at a glance, so he immediately stepped forward and lowered his voice: "Subordinates see the commander." ”

The brocade-clothed man standing on the bridge looked very ordinary in this bustling crowd of Qin Huai visitors, but this slender man with a sturdy figure bowed his head slightly in front of him very humbly. At this time, the right hand of the man in brocade could be seen, and the calluses on it were faintly visible in the moonlight and light. The thin man exhaled softly, he didn't know what kind of experience it took to make the commander's hand like this, but he knew very well that countless Mongolian Tartars had died at the hands of the commander.

It's just that I don't know why the commander is suddenly interested in this ten-mile Qin Huai?

"The boat is booked?" The man in brocade smiled slightly.

The thin man hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Well, Xianggong Xiao Zhang has already led someone to book the painting boat in advance, using the name of the Ministry of Works, so it will not arouse the suspicion of others." ”

"Xiao Zhang's husband is quick to start." The man in brocade couldn't help but chuckle, "That's fine." ”

The thin man snorted: "Xiao Zhang's appearance is better than that of the Praetorian Guards, so his subordinates came back directly to restore their lives." ”

The man in brocade standing there was none other than Wu Chucai, the commander of the Ming Praetorian Guard. Hearing the thin man's explanation, Wu Chucai nodded knowingly, and just wanted to say something, a hand suddenly put on his shoulder, and then a familiar voice came from behind him, with a hint of a smile in his voice: "Xiao Zhang Xianggong has booked, then let's go over and take a look now." ”

The thin man looked at the young man standing behind Wu Chucai in some surprise, his face showed a trace of hostility, as Wu Chucai's subordinates, for all those who intended to get close to the leader, the thin man would be somewhat wary, especially since this person's hand was already on Wu Chucai's shoulder. Wu Chucai had already reacted, and hurriedly said, "This is my friend who intends to feast tonight." You lead the way in front. ”

The thin man was singled out to do this, and he was naturally a clever person, knowing that no matter what the identity of this young man was, he couldn't afford to provoke him, so he hurriedly bowed slightly. Wu Chucai's clumsy excuse is obviously to cover up, the dignified commander of the Ming Praetorian Guard, although the official rank is not high, but he is a general under His Majesty's throne, and the previous royal driver and personal expedition are the personal guards and commanders of His Majesty's side, it is impossible to say that there is no trace of prestige. Moreover, Wu Chucai and Jiang Tie are very clear about what kind of people are needed to take on their positions, so they have always had nothing to do with the hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China.

As the commander of the Praetorian Guard and the last line of defense to protect His Majesty's safety, once he has any interaction with the hundred officials, even the most ordinary friendship, it may arouse His Majesty's suspicion. Even if Ye Yingwu trusted the two of them, the two of them knew what they should do and how to do it. Therefore, Wu Chucai and Jiang Tie have never hosted a banquet in the capital, which also makes them not famous in Nanjing, especially in the ten miles of Qinhuai.

The young man stood here today, his eyes wandering, he didn't care about himself and Wu Chucai at all, and although Wu Chucai didn't show him verbally, his every move was respectful, so the thin man didn't have to think about what the identity of the person in front of him was.

Except for the Ming Emperor, who can make Wu Chucai so respectful?

Without the slightest hesitation at the moment, the thin man bowed slightly and made a gesture of please, and the killing intent in his eyes just now had converged without a trace.

"Interesting." The thin man guessed well, and standing behind Wu Chucai was His Majesty the Ming Emperor Ye Yingwu. It's just that at this time, Ye Yingwu is standing here in a white fish dragon suit, looking for a lot of customers in Qinhuai, who doesn't seem to be outstanding, "Let's go, go and see and see." ”

Wu Chucai was suddenly a little surprised, waved his hand to let the thin man retreat, walked to a secluded place under the bridge with Ye Yingwu, bowed slightly and said in a low voice: "The official family should think about it again, if it passes on a whim, I'm afraid it will ・・・・・・."

Ye Yingwu immediately patted the stone lion on the bridge beside him, and said with a smile: "As a Ming official, there is no reason for me to sit idly by and watch this kind of thing, let's go and take a look." What's more, if you have more knowledge and knowledge, you can also experience the suffering of the people, so why not do it? ”

Before Ye Yingwu could finish speaking, Hui Niang came over with a sugar gourd in her hand and said with a smile: "Husband, when can we rent a boat to walk on the Qinhuai River?" ”

Behind Hui Niang is the Tubo princess Gesang, although this little girl has not been subdued by Ye Yingwu, but because she is very yearning for the prosperity of Jiangnan in her heart, she is not willing to stay in the palace, so she twisted and pinched, and ran out with Ye Yingwu, at this time a sugar gourd in her left hand, and a sugar man in her right hand are eating happily, where is the majesty of Princess Tubo?

Wu Chucai couldn't help but smile bitterly and looked at the serious Ye Yingwu.

Speaking of which, Your Majesty the Emperor, are you really sure that you are here to experience the suffering of the people? I'm afraid that your previous experience in Xingzhou and on the battlefield is much more real than that of here, right? What's more, you have two wives and concubines, isn't it a little too unprofessional? It should be said that pleasing women is the main or even the only purpose.

Wu Chucai led the way in front without saying a word, while Ye Yingwu shrugged his shoulders, and just wanted to take a step, a trace of coolness suddenly fell from the sky.

The fine and dense spring rain fell silently on the world, and the capital of the Ming Dynasty was also shrouded in this spring rain.

The people on the street scattered unhurriedly, and even raised their heads to try to catch the spring rain with their hands. Even the cries of the shops on both sides of the street are louder. People who take shelter under the eaves of their houses to take shelter from the rain are more or less attracted to the shops.

And Ye Yingwu took off the robe on his body, directly covered the heads of Hui Niang and Gesang, and then took the two petite bodies into his arms at once.

Shaking the sleeves of his clothes that were stained with water droplets, Ye Yingwu said with a smile: "I want to wet my clothes and want to wet the apricot blossom rain, this spring rain is really timely!" (To be continued.) )
