[Nightlight] Volume 2: Song of Winter, Chapter 288, Victory Castle

More than a dozen carriages bumped along the narrow mountain road in front of Fort Victory, and such a road had recently been specially rebuilt to supply the 4,000 cavalry of Zhai Zhe's troops stationed outside the fortress. The wooden barrels piled up on the carriage swayed, and there was a "bang-bang-bang" sound, and the carriage was followed by more than thirty knights, all carrying bows and arrows, and long knives at their waists.

"Stop, where did you come from!"

At the checkpoint in front of the road, two guards set up their spears to block the way.

"We belong to Datong Firm, Zhai Shen will buy some goods from us and let me send them out!" The coachman didn't move, and the urn sound of the reply was angry.

"What's in it?"

"I don't know, it seems to have some wine!"

"Dismount and check!" The soldier in his right hand turned red with anger, and pushed the black tip of the spear in front of the groom's face, intentionally or unintentionally.

"Be careful, be careful!" The coachman pretended to be frightened and jumped out of his seat.

After such a while, the carriages behind them all caught up and were blocked in the middle of the road, and more than 30 cavalrymen behind the carriage squeezed forward, grinning for the bearded man: "What are you doing, dare to block grandpa's road!" ”

"Check the goods!"

The bearded man rolled up his sleeves and scolded: "These are the goods of General Zhai, so there is no need to check them, right?" ”

The two soldiers looked at each other, remembered the order given to them by the garrison, and shouted back: "This is an order from the Governor's Palace, and no one's goods will work!" ”

"It's all wine, the brothers outside the plug drink wind all day long, and a bird comes out of their mouths, so let's be accommodating!"

"There is an order from the Governor's Palace, and food, armor, and wine are not allowed to go out of the fortress!"

"Lao Tzu gives you face, you don't have a face, don't let Lao Tzu smash you to make this level!" The bearded man urged the horse to crash into it, and forced the soldier to retreat.

"Go, get out of the jam, see who dares to block Lao Tzu's path!" The bearded man led more than 30 cavalry to open the way and walked towards the checkpoint.

This bearded man is Meng Kang, who has not been healed for a long time from his back injury, and he has to make such a fuss this time, there is really a reason for it.

All the grain and grass of Zhai Zhe's cavalry were stored in Fort Victory, and they came to collect it every half month, but they didn't expect to run into trouble the second time. Zhai Zhe's 4,100 cavalry, plus the 500 sailors recruited a year ago, recruited more than 1,200 people from the Tumut tribe, and the army was short of food and grass, so he wanted to receive it according to the rations of 5,000 soldiers. However, this garrison bit the Governor's Palace's fixed salary of 4,000 soldiers, and only allowed Zhai Zhe to receive 4,000 rations. In desperation, Zhai Zhe wrote to Ye Tinggui, the governor of Datong, explaining the details of the recruitment of the navy a year ago, and after Ye Tinggui confirmed it with Lu Xiangsheng, he promised to supply Zhai Zhe with 4,600 rations. But the situation did not improve after that, and although the garrison of Fort Victory put military rations according to 4,600 men, they had to deduct some of each stone, and the actual amount of money received was not much more than before. Zhai Zheqiang was patient and wrote to Ye Tinggui and Lu Xiangsheng, but a month passed, like a stone sinking into the sea, and he didn't get a single reply, and the garrison of Fort Victory was the same as always.

"This is the court of the Ming Dynasty, and Duke Lu can't change the habits of this officialdom!" Liu Suifeng explained to Zhai Zhe.

"Is it just swallowing your anger like this, and you can't be exploited by him!" Zhai Zhe was helpless.

"Lu Gong himself is incorruptible and has nothing to say, but if he wants the entire Xuanda officialdom to be as incorruptible as him, unless he wants to achieve nothing in Xuanda. It's not that there is no way for adults to really want those grains back, but I'm afraid that I will offend some people, and a garrison is not so bold. "Liu Suifeng is confident.

"Tell me about it."

"The adult is recruited from outside the plug, and some people have long wanted to make a fortune from the adult, if the adult swallows his anger this time, there will be more and more people who reach out in the future, so the adult must give a counterattack!"

"How to fight back?" Zhai Zhe was puzzled.

"Governor Ye and Duke Lu are unwilling to take care of this matter, I'm afraid that because it is an adult, there will be no result in appealing again. can only make another opportunity to make things bigger, force Lu Gong and Lord Ye to choose, and let the Xuanda officialdom know that adults are not easy to bully, so that they can get their wish! ”

That's why there is this scene of Meng Kang.

In front of the checkpoint, there were twenty or thirty soldiers of the Victory Fort who were watching, and when they saw Meng Kang and others coming violently, they immediately stood up and gathered together, with swords and guns in their hands pointing forward.

Meng Kang pressed forward step by step, and more than 30 people behind him were gearing up.

The guards were forced to retreat instead, and one of the soldiers pointed the spear over him, Meng Kang sideways to avoid the tip of the spear, allowing the tip of the spear to slip past his waist, and shouted loudly: "Kill, the soldiers of the Victory Fort have killed!" ”

The soldier was afraid in his heart and wanted to draw the spear back, but Meng Kang gave him this opportunity, grabbed the gun and pulled it violently, the soldier stumbled and almost fell on his head.

"The people of Fort Victory have killed people and robbed goods!" More than 30 people who followed closely behind raised their fists, like tigers into a pack of wolves, and rushed into these people and beat them violently.

Even if they don't use weapons, the Ming army in Fort of Victory is not the opponent of this group of barbarians who have fought hard outside the fortress for six or seven years, and these people are specially selected by Meng Kang from the battalion.

Chasing these people crying and shouting for their mothers to flee back to Fort Victory, two or three miles away, Meng Kang sneered at the corner of his mouth, and ordered the soldiers behind him to prepare for defense.

In less than a quarter of an hour, two or three hundred soldiers in the Victory Fort rushed out with twenty or thirty cavalry, blocked at the crossing, and reprimanded one person in good armor: "Who are you, dare to break through the checkpoint, don't you know the royal law of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"Lao Tzu is a cavalry garrison outside the Saiwai, how do you care about your subordinates, you actually use knives and guns against your own people, when Lao Tzu is killing Tartars, which city are you hiding in to pee your pants?" Meng Kang's poisonous tongue can remind people of a fierce woman.

"You're so bold! Take it for me! The guard's face turned pale, and the soldiers behind him surrounded him.

"Where are you going to take Lao Tzu?" Meng Kang dismounted and stepped forward.

"All goods are confiscated, and these people are imprisoned in the fort!"

"Who dares to touch me!" Meng Kang urged him to step forward, came to the guard half a step in front of him, drew his sword and scolded: "Don't you want to live anymore!" ”

"It's the other way around, it's the other way around! You gang of thieves! The guard waved his hand, and the bird behind him raised his long gun flat, and the gloomy mouth of the gun was aimed at Meng Kang. Unexpectedly, Meng Kang was not afraid at all, strode under the guarded horse, raised his head and scolded: "You are a guard, Lao Tzu is also a guard, do you dare to kill me?" ”

"Shut up, lock up!" The guard scolded: "You are also worthy of me!" ”

Hundreds of defenders surrounded twelve carriages and more than thirty soldiers, and Meng Kang suddenly put his sword back into its sheath, as if he didn't expect the defenders of Fort Victory to really make a move. The guard saw Meng Kang's look of fear, his face was bright, and he escorted the group back to the fort. In the end, they were all the border troops of the Ming Dynasty, and both sides were afraid, Meng Kang only dared to use his fists before, and the people in the Victory Fort did not dare to really hurt them.

Less than an hour later, the sound of iron hooves rumbled in front of Fort Victory, and a column of cavalry galloped towards encirclement of the north and west gates of Fort Victory. A soldier with a loud voice rushed out of the army and shouted: "Listen to the soldiers of the fort, I heard that you have seized the garrison and goods of our army, and sent them out in the morning." ”

The garrison heard the movement of the soldiers and horses under the fort, and shouted at the head of the city: "General Zhai, don't be rude, it was your garrison who beat people first, and then smuggled wine out of the fortress, so I detained it!" ”

Zhai Zhe sneered at Guanxia, "Did what you said deceive a three-year-old child?" ”

"If you don't believe me, you can send someone into the fort to check!"

Zhai Zhe agreed: "So wait for me to send someone to check!" With that, Pegasus returned.

The cavalry retreated three miles, and Bao Guang led thirty cavalry to the front of the victory fort. The garrison opened the gate of the fort and welcomed Bao Guang into the castle, he was just a small garrison, relying on the forces behind him to see Zhai Zhe, a general, approaching the fort, and he was not afraid at all.

"Meng Kang, who committed the crime, is inside!" The garrison led Bao Guang inside.

Hearing the foul words in Meng Kang's mouth from afar, Bao Guangqiang couldn't hold back a smile, and when he was about to reach his eyes, he suddenly took a sideways step, took out a dagger from his arms and put it on the neck of the guard, and the thick arm of his right hand wrapped around the man's neck, and shouted: "You little bedbug, you dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, and you dare to hijack the goods of my generals!" ”

"What do you want to do?" The face of the garrison was as white as earth.

"Let go!"

"Let go!" The garrison's face was as white as earth, and he did not dare to raise his mouth, and gave orders to the sergeant of the fort.

"It's this kid who slapped Lao Tzu twice!" Meng Kang, who was untied, was furious, walked close to Bao Guang, and was about to hit someone with a fist, obviously suffering a little loss before.

"Get out of the fort!" Bao Guang tilted his head at him and took the guard behind him to prevent Meng Kang from beating him.

The soldiers around were at a loss, each with a sword and gun in his hand, and did not dare to move, watching as these people drove the carriage out of the gate of Fort Victory. Bao Guang had been tightly circling this garrison and retreated to the barracks and arrived in front of Zhai Zhe.

"Just this kid, dare to slap Lao Tzu twice!" Meng Kang carried the axe around the outside, lingering.

"Wang Shoubei, is my benefit so easy to take?" Zhai Zhe motioned to Bao Guang to put down the garrison.

"General Zhai, it's me who is wrong, let me go!" The guard knelt in front of Zhai Zhe, peeking at the fierce and vicious soldiers around him, kowtowing like a pound.

"If you want money, tell me, it's easy to do anything, you are so strong, you are just slapping me in the face, I don't know who you rely on, you are so bold!" Zhai Zhe's voice was very gentle.

"General, let me live!"

Zhai Zhe sighed and said, "You and I are serving in the Ming Army, how can I want your life, go back!" ”

The garrison trembled and stood up, took two steps out, and saw that no one was coming to stop him, and then he dared to fly towards the fortress of victory.

Zhai Zhe looked at his departing back with hidden worries, he listened to Liu Suifeng's construction, and decided to gamble, the location of the victory castle is too important to him, if the lifeline is in the hands of such an unconscious person, I don't know how much trouble there will be in the future.

Liu walked out of the tent with the wind, and said confidently: "My lord, immediately send a letter to the governor and Duke Lu!" With the foreshadowing of the previous letters, I guarantee that this garrison will be replaced! ”

"I hope so!" Zhai Zhe's heart is not so steady, is this garrison really as Liu Suifeng said, not arranged by Lu Gong?
