"Shuozhou victory!" Zhai Zhe stubbornly told him, it was really difficult for this sentence to pop out of his mouth.

Wu Fu's face was as usual, and he stretched out his hand to signal him to be exempt, and said: "Congratulations to General Zhai, this time you can successfully drive the Qing captives out of the plug, and you should remember Zhai Shen's merits!" Zhai Zhe's twisted demeanor fell in his eyes, which made him feel good, at least this is an official who has not yet been blackened by the Ming officialdom.

"At the end of the battle, Shuozhou was killed, and more than 3,000 people were killed, but I regretted that I failed to save the people of Shuozhou!" Zhai Zhe's face showed a look of pain, and half of it was indeed true feelings.

Speaking of Shuozhou, it was the deepest scar in Wu Fu's heart, he straightened his waist and chest, and denounced: "Qing Yu is brutal, this is my great pain, and it is the shame of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

On the outskirts of Shuozhou, a row of deep trenches five miles long and fifty steps wide were dug at the foot of the mountain above the north of the city. Men recruited from Shanxi were carrying corpses from the city, carts full of corpses bouncing across the rubble roads, blood dripping from underneath the carts.

Zhai Zhe followed behind Wu Fu, his eyes wandering in the distance, he didn't want to stay here for a moment. Those corpses, he felt he owed them.

It is not impossible to hide the matter of Shuozhou's massacre from the imperial court, but neither Lu Xiangsheng nor Wu Fu dare to do so. After the change of their own affairs, the two of them are the only remaining governors of the Donglin Party, and there are not many people in the court who are staring at their shortcomings.

"General Zhai!"

"The last general!"

"I know about the victory in Shuozhou. You'd better go to Taiyuan and report to the princes who guard Shanxi Town and Datong Town! Wu Fu stepped on the land outside Shuozhou City, and his mind was full of the situation that General Xuanda would face after the war. Lu Xiangsheng ordered Zhai Zhe to repay himself for his merits, because he wanted to give himself a step. Shuozhou lost, he as the governor of Shanxi could not escape the blame, Shanxi town lost two cities in a row, did not win a battle, Zhai Zhe who won the battle is the general of Datong Town, Lu Xiangsheng's move is to show himself that Xuanda Town will credit him with this credit.

"Shall I report it?" Zhai Zhe was surprised, he didn't understand the hidden meaning of this.

Wu Fu pondered for a moment and said, "I'll write you a letter, and you immediately take this letter to Taiyuan to repay your merits." ”

"Yes!"

On the same day, Zhai Zhe and a column of 100 cavalry left Shuozhou and stepped into the Ningwu Pass, and Wu Fu ordered a garrison of the governor's battalion to lead the way. The Qing captives retreated, the soldiers and horses of Xuanda Town were still concentrated in the northern border area, and the rest of the cavalry of Zhai Zhe's department were stationed on the outskirts of Datong under the command of Zuo Ruo and Feng Qin, and Xiao Zhiyan's scout battalion was ordered by Lu Xiangsheng to go deep into the grassland to investigate the movement of the Qing captives' retreat.

Leaving Shuozhou, he couldn't see the mountains of corpses in his eyes, which made Zhai Zhe's heart feel much easier.

The road along the way was familiar and unfamiliar, Jiexiu was just west of Taiyuan, and the memories of his predecessor who inherited this body suddenly poured out of his mind like an open box, and the embankment that he had worked hard to build for ten years collapsed. In the second year of Chongzhen, he left his hometown with the caravan and never returned here, and he spent most of the first ten years in this area.

The big dark horse is a divine horse, walking on a steep mountain road like walking on flat ground, and Zhai Zhe's heart rises and falls along the road all the way. Looking at the mountains and rivers all the way, when he arrived in the east of Jiexiu County, he suddenly felt sour in his heart, and said silently: "Father! Forgive your unfilial son! In an instant, he suddenly couldn't tell who he was, and the love of blood was difficult to give up.

He is Zhai Zhe in later generations, and he is also Zhai Zhe in this life.

Entering the territory of Taiyuan, there are more and more pedestrians on the road. The news of the Qing captives retreated from the army spread for hundreds of miles in a day, and the refugees who escaped from Datong returned to their hearts like arrows, and the brave ones embarked on the road of return first, Wu Fu arranged very thoughtfully, and set up a porridge shed all the way from Taiyuan to Shuozhou, and so on to enter the realm of Datong and it was not under his control.

Iron hoof into Taiyuan City, Zhai Zhe did not see the chaos caused by the military disaster at all, the streets were lively and peaceful, and the northern and southern merchants gathered here. The city of Taiyuan is not as majestic and strong as Datong, but the scope of the city and the prosperity of the city are better than Datong. Almost all Jin merchants, regardless of whether they came from the west or east, would set up a branch here.

The governor's battalion was familiar with the road, and took Zhai Zhe straight to the eunuch's mansion.

Seventy or eighty cavalry led their horses to the outside of the eunuch's mansion, and Zhai Zhe's personal soldiers all looked murderous, with swords and bows, and they were majestic, which surprised the porter.

With his armor on his body, Zhai Zhe strode to the door and arched his hand: "Zhai Zhe, the general of Datong Mansion, was ordered by the governor of Xuandalu and the governor of Shanxi to come to meet the prince and father-in-law, and he has an urgent military situation to tell him!" ”

The eunuch of the town guard listened to the heavens, no matter who came to meet Wang Gui which one was not polite, the porter had never seen such a rough visit. But listening to Zhai Zhe's speech and posture, it seemed that it was quite big, he rolled his eyes, hesitated again and again, and finally decided not to embarrass these people, because his father-in-law seemed to be very concerned about the war in the north.

"Wait a minute!" The porter glanced at Zhai Zhe, although he decided to report, he was still a little unhappy in his heart.

"There is labor!" Zhai Zhe had never dealt with eunuchs, and he heard a lot of rumors in his ears, and he was both curious and nervous.

Bar Lord 7

After a while, the porter came out and said, "Father-in-law summons!" ”

Zhai Zhe handed over the sword, bow and arrow to the soldiers behind him, and followed the man into the house.

The eunuch's mansion was better than any yamen Zhai Zhe had ever seen before, both in size and decoration, and in comparison, the Xuanda Governor of Yang and Wei could simply be described as shabby. Thinking of the image of the eunuch, Zhai Zhe had a layer of goosebumps on his body, and he didn't even dare to look at the carved fences and flowers along the way.

After turning a few corridors, the porter pointed into a hall and said, "Justice is waiting for you inside!" ”

Zhai Zhe entered the door hard, and when he saw two servants guarding the door, he was about to speak, and the two beckoned and said, "Zhai Shen, please come in!" ”

Zhai Zhe Xie entered the door after the end, saw that the hall was open, and hung a pair of horses galloping in the middle hall opposite, the momentum was vigorous, down the middle hall was a mahogany long of about three zhang long, and a piece of jade carving Ruyi was placed on it, and a wood carving of the top horn of a golden bull was placed. The long table was preceded by a square table, and on the left side of the table sat a man in a short figure, as if curled up in the middle of the chair.

His eyes swept over the room, and he immediately bowed his head and arched his hand: "Datong General Zhai Zhe pays a visit to the prince!" On the orders of the Governor and the Governor of Dalu, I came to report the victory! As he spoke, he took out the letter written by Wu Fu from his bosom and presented it above his head.

The person on the other side didn't speak for a long time, Zhai Zhe waited in his heart, and held the letter in his hand higher.

I don't know how much time passed, Zhai Zhejue's arms were a little stiff, and the figure opposite understood what was going on, and asked, "You are Zhai Zhe?" ”

"It's the last general! The last general was ordered by the governor of Shanxi, Lord Wu, to raid the Qing captives in Shuozhou, cut 3,000, and expelled Dolgon from the fortress, and came to report the victory! ”

"Bring it on!"

Zhai Zhe approached lightly, but didn't see Wang Gui reaching out to pick it up, so he had to bow down and put the letter on the corner of the table and then retreat to the same place.

"All the captives are out of the jam?" Wang Gui had heard the rumors, but he had not yet received definite news.

"The Datong defenders regained the Victory Fort the day before yesterday and drove all the Dolgon's soldiers and horses away from the Ming Realm!"

"Good!" Wang Gui opened his face a little and asked, "Where is Governor Lu?" ”

"The Governor is in Datong, urging the soldiers and horses to recover the border fort!"

Wang Gui picked up the letter on the corner of the table, was not in a hurry to open it, and said with emotion: "This time, Governor Lu can hold Shifuling without losing it, and prevent the Qing prisoners from invading the Ming Dynasty, which is really my great luck!" He almost followed Lu Xiangsheng to the post of governor of Xuanda, and at the same time went out of the palace to guard Shanxi. In the ninth year of Chongzhen, Azig led his troops to break through the Great Wall of Xuanfu and invade the capital, the Ming Dynasty military department Shangshu and the governor of Xuanda committed suicide to avoid crime, Shanxi, Datong, Xuanfu three town governors, general soldiers and eunuchs were all convicted, this time he was in Taiyuan, in fact, his heart has been hanging in the air. With the temper of today's saints, if something happens in any town, the town chief officials will be held responsible, and these officials in Xuanda Town are actually grasshoppers hanging on a rope.

"The Governor is mighty!" Zhai Zhe agreed, this sentence came from the heart.

"Humph!" Wang Gui snorted lightly, and suddenly said in a sharp voice: "You should especially remember Governor Lu's kindness!" He waved the letter in his hand and said, "If you have to say something, I know everything!" He had correspondence with Lu Xiangsheng, and understood that Lu Xiangsheng had the heart to protect Zhai Zhe. Xuanda has a governor like Lu Xiangsheng, he, the eunuch of the town, can sit firmly, so why bother looking for trouble, although the Qing prisoner retreats, there may be a time to come again.

"I will remember the kindness of the Governor!" Zhai Zhechui.

The caliber of the governor of Xuanda Town, the governor and the eunuch guarding the town are one, which can basically ensure that the storm set off by Dolgon's entry into the Kou can be turned into a small one. As long as the imperial city is not calamitized, and the matter does not get out of control, Emperor Chongzhen does not have so much energy to get to the bottom of it.

When Zhai Zhe walked out of the eunuch's mansion, it was getting late. That night, the accompanying garrison led the way, and everyone stayed in the Taiyuan governor's barracks, and most of the soldiers of the governor's camp were still stationed on the front line of Ningwu and Shuozhou, and the barracks were empty.

The weather is getting warmer in April, since the beginning of the war, the soldiers have not got a stable night, the Taiyuan barracks are not as difficult as in the mountains, and today they can finally rest early. Zhai Zhe lay on the bed and recalled the whole process of this war, the declaration of the war made him touch the corner of the court battle, and the decision of the governor not only to consider the victory or defeat of the battlefield, but also to take into account the reaction of the court. He tossed and turned, and many places were still as if he were looking at the scene in the clouds, and he did not know very clearly.

"It's time for me to find a helper!" Zhai Zhe touched the strip of cloth in his chest pocket, which was the secret letter obtained by Xiao Zhiyan by killing the spy in Shenchi. He could guess where the letter might have come from, and if it was to be presented to the Governor, it would cause an uproar with unpredictable consequences. The Shang Alliance and the Eight Great Families must have a fight, but if the Zhai family and the Fan family are dissipated because of this, he will become a ruthless and unfilial person, and then related to the notoriety that has been left in Shanxi, he will become the finger of Qianfu, and at that time I am afraid that he can only become a sword in the hands of Lu Xiangsheng.

"Zhai family, Fan family!" Zhai Zhe was a little helpless. Sure enough, every bite he ate had to be returned, he relied on his family to start his family, and relied on the Fan family to get rid of the crisis in the grassland, and these things eventually became shackles around his neck.

Maybe it's time to go home!
