(I've been on a business trip for ten days in a row, and due to time constraints, a lot of updates have fallen behind, and I will make up for them all next week.) )

Zeng Kang's plan was to use Zhou Jin to bring Xiong Kaiyuan to justice, cut off the wings of the acting king, and make him the king of the bare pole domain, so as to deter the lawless officials of Datong in one fell swoop. After all, the acting king is Zhu Ming's blood and blood, and even a man like Li Xin can't move a single bit, let alone his little experience.

What is rare is that Li Xin greatly supported Zeng Kang's plan, and said that in addition to acting as the king, no matter who the officials of Datong want to move, as long as there is conclusive evidence of illegal evidence, he will fully support it. With Li Xin's assurance, Zeng dared to throw off his arms and decided to do a big job, in the past half a year he has seen all kinds of flies and dogs in Datong City, not to mention that he has been angry and suffered, and now he has the potential to turn over in one fell swoop, and he is even more energetic with his arms and sleeves, ready to bring these silverfish of the country to justice.

This Zhou Jin is the first unlucky guy who hit the tip of his knife, originally his impression of Zhou Jin was not bad, although his pragmatic ability was not enough, but he was not in the same stream as the acting king and Xiong Kaiyuan, but with the retirement of time, he gradually found that this person was intentionally or unintentionally aiding and abusing, which is unforgivable.

Zeng dared to accuse Zhou Jin, mainly focused on the relief of the victims and the disposal of food in Datong Mansion after the plague.

In the face of all kinds of accusations, Zhou Jin lowered his once noble head in shame, but he still had the strength to defend himself.

"Zhou, Zhou is also out of helplessness, none of those grains fell into Zhou's pocket, Xiong Fuzun and the acting king have long been in collusion, even if Zhou doesn't do it, there will be Wang, Li or Zhang to do it."

All in all, in a word, it means the same thing, he was forced.

This pale rebuttal was exchanged for Zeng Kang's sneer, which in Zeng Kang's opinion was simply a funny excuse that couldn't be more funny.

"Zhou Tongju, Zhou Tongju, how can you have the face to say such things? As an official of the imperial court, you don't want to serve the court and ask for the people's life, and your psychological face is all about your own future, and you still have the face to say that you are a son of a saint? ”

Zeng Dare's words made Zhou Jin embarrassed, and he wanted to defend himself, but his mouth was open, but he couldn't speak, so he could only smack it up and down twice in vain.

"Although you helped the abuse, but you didn't take a grain of food from the public, this shows that you still have a trace of kindness in your heart, which is one of the reasons why the general decided to give you a reform."

Zhou Jin's old face turned red, of course he knew who he was referring to when he dared to speak, and there was no one else except Li Xin. However, Zeng Dare obviously didn't intend to let him be safe, but continued to poke at his soft underbelly.

"I heard that when I was in Gaoyang, it was you who colluded with Lei Xianling to frame the general? He almost killed the general. Now that the general can open up to you, this kind of mind is also difficult for ordinary people to reach......"

Gao Yang's old affairs were picked up by Zeng Da, which made Zhou Jin even more ashamed, he was indeed very disgusted with Li Xin, who was born as a horse thief. So when Lei County Ling found him and put forward Li Xin's evidence of collaborating with the enemy, he didn't even think about it, and he didn't even verify it, so he made a plan to clean up Li Xin with him. However, in the end, people are not as good as heaven, and it is also Li Xin's fate that should not be extinguished, and finally succeeded in reversing Gaoyang.

Today, although Li Xin has a lot of stains in his hands, he has not been wiped out because of this, which is definitely an extraordinary mind. When Zhou Jin arrived at this step, he sincerely admired Li Xin in his heart.

"Okay, there is no need to talk nonsense, as for the number of crimes and the number of crimes, Zhou Tong's sentence depends on your appearance."

Zhou Jin himself was not a strong-willed person, as he was in Gaoyang, so Sun Chengzong did not give him the opportunity to participate in the defense of the city at all. The same is true for being an official in Datong, Xiong Kaiyuan does everything he can, he doesn't pay attention to the rules at all, he is afraid that he will get into trouble, and many times he will be obedient, and even become an accomplice to the abuse. But this does not mean that he is extremely weak, this kind of cowardice is only shown in front of people who are much stronger than him, and if he is a person whose status and authority are lower than him, he will not hesitate to put on a strong posture.

Zhou Jin had never dared to put this in his eyes before, but now he had the feeling of being gone. In fact, if you think about it carefully, Zeng Dare's behavior is not completely untraceable. At the time of the plague, he dared to have a small experience with the Datong prefect Xiong Kaiyuan, although he was later rectified by the wolf bèi to the extreme, but his personality of not being afraid of power can be seen.

Of course, there is a fine line between not being afraid of power and not being able to measure one's strength. The difference is that at the beginning, Zhou Jin still laughed at that little experience, but now his fate is in the palm of his hand. The world is impermanent, and the speed of change is really surprising.

Just when Zhou Jin couldn't stop sighing in his heart, Zeng Dare had already prepared the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and then made a gesture of invitation to him.

"Zhou Tong, please put it!"

"What is this?"

"Why do you want to ask knowingly, Kaiyuan, the first evil bear in Datong City, is waiting for your reply!"

Zhou Jinyan didn't understand what Zeng dared meant, and made it clear that he wanted to let himself use words to bring the bear Kaiyuan, and then it was round or flat to see how the horse thief Li Xin rubbed it! Zhou Jin trembled and lifted the pen, his chest was full of sorrow, this thing is not glorious, once he does it, he will definitely be pointed out in the future, but if he doesn't follow the instructions of Zeng Dare, I'm afraid they will take advantage of themselves.

Just when Zhou Jin hesitated, Zeng Dare's words completely broke his psychological defense, making him have to let go of all his reserves and concerns.

"I heard that Zhou Tong's deceased Lu Dianshi also came to Datong Mansion, has Zhou Tongju heard of it? It's a pity that now he has been beaten by the general like a lost dog......"

The lukewarm words fell into Zhou Jin's ears, and they were as straight as a sharp dagger, stabbing him in horror and embarrassment. Lu Dianshi guarded Gaoyang with him at the beginning, which can be regarded as a great contribution to the imperial court, and at the same time won them the highest personal prestige. But this qiē was like a mirror, and Lu Zhifan threw himself into the Tartar in a blink of an eye and completely became a traitor. As for him, Zhou Jin, he was cautious as an official, for fear of making a wrong step, but in the end, he didn't do the lackey who sold Xiong Kaiyuan in Datong City?

In a sense, what is the difference between him and Lu Zhifan, who has already become a traitor? may not even be as good as others, but he can still control his fate according to his own wishes, and he has nothing else but to go with the flow and make a fuss. Now he was threatened by a yellow-mouthed child, and he had no power to fight back.

Zhou Jin sighed gloomily, this is very different from the previous ideals, the reality is always a hundred times more cruel than imagined, he finally no longer hesitated, filled the wolf with ink, and put a pen on the paper.

A letter was written in just a few moments, and Zeng dared to pick up the paper that had not yet dried the ink, and nodded with satisfaction after reading it.

"Zhou Tong's judgment of this letter is the life talisman of Xiong Kaiyuan!"

At the same time that Zeng dared to deal with Zhou Jin, Li Xin met with the envoy of the Mongolian tribal alliance who came from outside the border wall. The reason why the main force of the Three Guards Army was stationed in Datong and did not continue to move south was because of the Baiyintu Department located outside the side wall.

He was afraid that Baiyintu would take the opportunity to enter Datong Mansion and sweep through the Datong Mansion like the Turglu Domain, so he had to choose a position in this place to deter the north and south. Taking 10,000 steps back, even if there is an accident on either side, the Three Guards will be able to put out the fire in time. Now it's just a matter of taking it steady, and the victory will be theirs.

Sure enough, the news brought by Bikoer's subordinates made Li Xin let go of a tightly hung heart a little, but it was difficult to be happy. It turned out that since Li Xin led the main force of the Three Guards Army to the south, Bekoer led the tribal alliance to fight two fierce battles in succession with the Mobei Mongol coalition army of Baiyintu.

The final result was that both sides were defeated, and the Northern Mongol coalition army retreated more than 100 miles to the east. This means that Baiyintu has almost no southward power. Then, you can concentrate on dealing with Turg in the hinterland of Shanxi.

Before killing Turg, Li Xin ordered Lu Jiu to completely defeat Lu Zhifan's sharp spirit along the way, which had almost completely lost his fighting spirit. As long as Lu Zhifan can't play his due role by Turg's side, Turg, who has always been more powerful than brainy, will almost 100% not be the opponent of the Three Guards.

Lu Jiu sent people to ask for the capture of Lu Zhifan several times, but Li Xin refused several times, he believed that a Lu Zhifan who had lost his fighting spirit by the side of the Tartars would definitely be much more useful than a Ming army capturing Lu Zhifan.

Li Xinyan ordered Lu Jiu to rush Lu Zhifan all the way to Turge, and at the same time ordered Cheng Mingjiu to take two large infantry battalions along the line of Yingzhou and Mayi to aid Taiyuan Mansion.

However, before Cheng Mingjiu's thousands of troops arrived in Ningwuguang, they received the news that the new army of Taiyuan Mansion had won the victory just after Shanyin. The Turge army was driven out of Taiyuan Mansion in one fell swoop, driven to the north of Waisanguan, and re-entered the territory of Datong Mansion.

After Li Xin heard about it, he slapped his thigh, which was the best change he expected.

Taiyuan Mansion is the key area of the operation of the Three Guards Army, and if there is a decisive battle in Taiyuan Prefecture, Li Xin will definitely throw a rat trap, for fear that Turg will fight and run away like this before, and only aim to kill and injure the soldiers and civilians of the fort. And to Datong Mansion is very different, first of all, Datong is widely popular, and secondly, it is not very easy to destroy, and there is no need to throw a mouse bogey when fighting.

Li Xin followed up with the third and fourth step battalions, echoing Cheng Mingjiu's first and second step battalions, and was ready for a decisive battle.

In the end, the Turg army was surrounded by the old and new Three Guards in the area from Jinping Mountain to Bilingkou. On the eve of the decisive battle, a fast horse hurried from Taiyuan......
