Chapter 393: Showdown

Gonggong Zhao was shocked and said, "They are so ruthless? If this is the case, wouldn't thirty percent of the military attachés in this Xuanfu be in great trouble? Will the imperial court really let this? ”
Zuo Qiu Ming sneered: "You still don't understand? The cunning rabbit died, the lackeys cooked, in the past, the imperial court needed us, so everyone reached out to make a bureau, ate a little empty salary, and mingled with those smuggling merchants, the imperial court has always turned a blind eye to this, but now it is different, now there is a student army in the Beijing Division, and after three months of training, they actually defeated the tile thorn iron cavalry in one fell swoop, do you know what it means? It means that our old antiques are no longer of much benefit to the imperial court, not only are they not beneficial, but they are harmful, in this case, the imperial court does not mind taking your and my heads to make an example. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Gonggong Zhao was dumbfounded when he heard this, but he also felt that what Zuo Qiu Ming said was reasonable, the border town has become more and more intensified over the years, and he dares to do anything, but the court will not know? It's not that the court doesn't know, but the court knows, but it doesn't know, this kind of thing can't be managed, you can only let it go, as long as you are loyal and protect the Xuanfu, who cares what you do?
But now it is indeed different, the model of the student army must be promoted, and many generals in the past have become stumbling blocks to the new look of armaments, and the imperial court has to clean them up, and there is no longer any burden.
"But ......" Zuo Qiu Ming said lightly: "We are not without capital, the affairs of the border town have always been involved in the whole body, as long as the court is still afraid of making trouble, these people in Datong are still afraid of taking risks, and they dare not touch you and me for the time being, so they started the idea of summoning the generals of various towns and guerrillas into the customs, Zhao Gonggong think about it, if these people enter Datong, when the time comes, they will only need a few horsemen, and they can wipe everyone out, and then re-dispatch the military attache to receive everyone's military horses, and send officials to the towns to pacify, Even if this matter is a complete merit, and the moment those people enter Datong is also the time when you and I fall to the ground. ”
Gonggong Zhao trembled when he heard this, and said: "What Lord Zuo said is not wrong, unload the mill and kill the donkey, you and I are an outcast, and the generals and guerrillas in various towns must not enter Datong, otherwise the big guys will give them a pot." ”
Zuo Qiu Ming smiled coldly, but shook his head, and said, "Come, of course you have to come, instead of sitting and waiting, let's give it a go." ”
"Ah......" Zhao Gonggong couldn't turn the corner for a while, and said, "......What does Lord Zuo mean?"
Zuo Qiu said calmly: "Couldn't Gonggong Zhao think that if we go on like this, sooner or later we will die without a place to bury?" At present, you and I have reached the point of exhaustion, and if we want to survive, the only way is to let the court know how powerful we are. Therefore, these people must come to Datong, show off their might, and let the court and those people in Datong see, if they move us people, the world must be in chaos. He smiled coldly: "It's just that they want to come, they can't let them come alone, didn't they send out the news for the governor's yamen to order?" The governor Yamen issued an order, all the military horses gathered in the suburbs of this Datong city to train military horses, in order to deter the Tatars and Tile-spur departments outside the pass, so that everyone raised troops to come, and then this Datong city, 100,000 troops gathered, but to see, they still dare to take the fire, and dare not deal with you and me, I am afraid that the court has received the news, and must obediently appease everyone. ”
Gonggong Zhao took a breath: "Lord Zuo, show off your power to the imperial court, this is ...... This ......"
Zuo Qiu Ming sneered and said, "Now that it's over, does Gonggong Zhao have any other way?" ”
Zhao Gonggong was silent, Zuo Qiu Ming really made him feel a little crazy, he was just a eunuch, and he didn't have much pursuit, he just wanted to live in peace for a lifetime, rich and noble, who knew that the final result would be involved in this right and wrong, but now he has no choice, except for this method, he really can't think of a way to keep the wealth in front of him, as Zuo Qiu Ming said, the court has regarded them as a thorn in the flesh, there are all kinds of harm and no benefit, sooner or later they will have to be cleaned up, If you want to keep yourself, you can only let the court know the stakes, and then appease them.
Gonggong Zhao sighed and said: "That's the only way, Lord Zuo, the miscellaneous family hasn't read any books, and I don't understand the truth very well, but this matter, after all, we still can't go too far, just stop it, we have committed a heinous crime, and we can't ignore the height of the sky." ”
Zuo Qiu Ming did not pick up, but just called someone and ordered to convey the military order of the governor's yamen to the military towns, and Zhao Gonggong's side also obediently chose to cooperate and stamped the military order, and when these orders were sent out, they were unimpeded, and when they arrived at the city gates, they learned that it was to convey the military orders of the governor's yamen, and the garrisons of the city gate actually let them go. In fact, they had already received the intention from the caravan that as long as it was an official exchange of official documents from the governor's yamen, they could enter and exit.
Datong City is as calm as ever, but behind the calm is hidden the stormy waves, everyone's eyes are on the treasure caravan and the governor's yamen, this treasure caravan is no longer a caravan so simple, when those guards guarding the door are wearing Qinci flying fish suits, everyone realizes that these people represent the imperial court, on behalf of the imperial power. And the governor's yamen is relatively disgraced, at least in Datong City, they no longer have the slightest strength, and the only strength has been wiped out, until now, where are Wang Fen and the others, and those Zuo Qiu Ming's cronies in Datong City are alive or dead.
The officials of the other battalions were waiting for the change in the situation, both sides seemed to be silent, and no one acted rashly, which made people think of the latest military order.
At this time, it is really more and more incomprehensible, it seems that each side thinks that they will win, but no matter which side, it seems that there is not much certainty, after all, the military towns of all walks of life, whether they have ghosts in their hearts, or obey the words of the court, are unknowable, after all, the bureau is too widely involved, and there are many people related to the illegal smuggler Jia, so these people help the court to deal with the bureau, to draw knives against the people who want to move the court, are they not afraid that the butcher's knife of the court will be raised on their heads?
All kinds of suspicions have spread to the streets and alleys in Datong, the air in the city of Datong is suddenly tense, the early winter is coming, the beginning of November in Datong has a fine snow, snowflakes fall on the roofs and streets, falling on the aisles of the city gate buildings piled up on the city wall, the ice cubes hang under the eaves, so that this Datong is covered with a layer of silver.
At the same time, the military order of the governor yamen quickly arrived at the border town of Qilu, and the border towns did not pay attention to the situation in Datong, but this day was cold, and the governor yamen actually summoned all the ministries to perform in Datong, which was really a bit unprecedented, and everyone's eyes really paid attention to Datong, and then, all kinds of news suddenly made everyone stunned, I really didn't pay attention to it, I didn't know, I paid attention, I knew that the sky of the Xuanfu was going to change, and the situation changed so quickly that it was really incredible.
Which side should be standing, or a bowl of water on both sides, has been placed on the heads of the generals from all walks of life, but they don't have much time to choose, time is pressing, the governor yamen is urgent, since the governor yamen has a military order, they don't dare to make a time, in addition to the military horses that must be configured in various passes, the generals from all walks of life have selected military horses, and set off to Datong from all directions.
Outside Datong City, the first to arrive was Liu Fu, the general of the North Road Dushi Horse Battalion, after Liu Fu arrived in Datong, he put 7,000 military horses at the east gate, and then took a few generals to ask to enter the city, and let him in at the city gate, he was not ambiguous at all, and went directly to the governor's yamen.
Liu Fu's every move has actually attracted the attention of almost everyone, after all, the Xuanfu Seventh Route Army, the strongest combat power has always been the North Road Dushi Horse Battalion, and Liu Fu, the general of this Dushi Horse Battalion, was also personally pulled out by Zuo Qiu Ming, if this Liu Fu is on Zuo Qiu Ming's side, I am afraid that things will be complicated.
And Liu Fu's actions did not disappoint Zuo Qiu Ming, as soon as he entered the city, he went directly to see Zuo Qiu Ming in the name of Dianmao, this is not how loyal he is to Zuo Qiu Ming, in fact, when he came to Datong, Liu Fu has already mastered the news of Datong, it is obvious that the imperial court is going to make a move on the Bureau, to the Lord Zuo, but he Liu Fu has also gained a lot of benefits in the Bureau, and the smuggler Jia went to the pass he guarded to enter and exit the ban, which was also released by the warrant he personally issued after he got the benefits, and these messy things in the Xuanfu Mansion, There are really few people who have a relationship with him, so Liu Fu is also afraid that the court has pursued Xu Guan, and now he is pursuing Lord Zuo, sooner or later, he will find his head.
When he arrived at the governor's yamen, Zuo Qiu Ming heard that he was the first to come to Datong, Zuo Qiu Ming was overjoyed, and personally connected him to the yamen, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, this Liu Fu stayed for half an hour before returning to the station outside the city.
After a few days, all kinds of military horses arrived, some camped directly outside and no one was seen, some took people into the city, went to the governor's yamen, everyone's attitude was clean, some people were afraid of thoroughly investigating the situation, implicating themselves, and some, naturally, because they were not deeply involved, they couldn't make trouble with Zuo Qiu Ming, naturally they didn't dare to enter the city, for fear of being suspected of having an affair with Zuo Ming.
