Datong Mansion, Zhai House.

Xiao Zhiyan leaned against the door frame and clasped his hands on his chest.

Not far away, outside the courtyard gate, stood two servants pretending to be pro-soldiers, and after Zhai Zhe entered the fortress from the Battle of Monan, he picked eight loyal pro-soldiers and stayed at home as guards.

There was no one in the courtyard, and the branches of a few poplar trees in the corner that towered into the sky had only pulled out the green shoots. Poplars are the most common tree species in the north, but few people keep them in the yard for ornamentation, when Zhai Zhe bought this house, these poplars are here, Ning Sheng once wanted people to cut them down for a few plum or osmanthus, but he didn't expect Zhai Zhe to fall in love with these poplars at a glance. The momentum that pierced the sky was fascinating.

When Zhai Zhe was talking about business, Fan Yi would consciously avoid it, and Lu Ying and Yuying also knew that the master was doing something big and couldn't be disturbed, and the fierce appearance of the soldiers outside the Saiwai also discouraged them.

"The messenger sent by Gao Yingxiang?" Zhai Zhe touched the stubble of his beard that had just grown, and looked at the mottled light and shadow in the yard.

"Gao Yingxiang has been mixed in the Central Plains in recent years, since Wang Jiayin died in battle, he has gathered the most people in the name of King Chuang, and he is willing to spend money if he can loot, imitating the Guanning Iron Cavalry to create 30,000 heavy cavalry, although it can't withstand the authentic Guanning cavalry, but the ordinary officers and soldiers in the Central Plains really can't resist." Xiao Zhiyan told the information he got in detail.

Zhai Zhe kept rubbing his chin, and after a while, he said, "Is the messenger gathering?" Take him to Chenjiazhuang, I want to see him! ”

"Are you really interested in working with him?" Xiao Zhiyan moved his back away from the door frame, his tone surprised.

"I think he has some point!"

"The Han Department also wants to chase the Central Plains, isn't there enough people there who have died?" Xiao Zhiyan's tone was a little rushed, I am afraid that only he would dare to speak to Zhai Zhe like this.

Zhai Zhe frowned and said, "Why does Gao Yingxiang want to encourage me to enter the plug?" He is now strong and strong, and what he lacks most is a piece of territory, which has been plundered and cannot obtain wealth for a long time, not to mention that the thieves have no artillery, and the cavalry cannot attack the city. The land of the Central Plains is related to the fortunes of the Ming Dynasty, and digging up the tomb of the Fengyang Emperor has caused a lot of trouble, and I heard that the imperial court has transferred elite troops from Jiliao Town into the Central Plains to suppress thieves, and chased after him behind his ass. He wanted me to do it in Xuanda, and the court took care of one thing and the other, and his pressure suddenly decreased, so that he had time to breathe and plan for the long term. ”

"Xuanda is not weaker than the Central Plains, and even the Jurchens can't enter Kou Datong, and the Han Department has less than 5,000 cavalry, how much can it make waves?"

Zhai Zhe nodded and said, "Yes, do you think Gao Yingxiang is just inviting me?" Don't you forget where is the Hanbu? He has a crush on the Mongols behind me! ”

Xiao Zhiyan figured it out and gasped, if the Han Department invaded Xuanda, whether it was Chahar or Tumut, they would probably follow.

"And you're going to see the steppenwolf?" The steppe wolf is just the nickname of the messenger when he used to be a horse thief at the West Exit, and he has known Xiao Zhiyan for nearly ten years.

"To see him is not to obey him!"

Xiao Zhiyan couldn't hold back any longer, and persuaded: "Some roads have become hated for thousands of years when they stumble, you must not forget the promise you made to me when you came out of the jam!" ”

Zhai Zhe smiled and said, "Brother Xiao, please rest assured!" "It's also a blessing for him to have such a friend.

Seeing through Gao Yingxiang's scheme, of course Zhai Zhe would not jump into the pit again. But I have to say that if you want to join Kou Daming, now is the best time. The Central Plains thieves are the most prosperous at the moment, and after Hong Chengchou took the blame and resigned, Lu Xiangsheng, the prime minister of the Central Plains who took office from the governor of Huguang, did not show any decent achievements.

Pulling the dark horse out of Datong City, Zhai Zhe thought all the way.

Gao Yingxiang's arrival touched his heartstrings, and the Han Ministry wanted to enter the Ming Dynasty and needed to wait for an opportunity, either to get an identity from the Ming court, or to be a thief.

The recruitment of the imperial court is far away, and Zhai Zhe does not reject the identity of a thief, but when he asks himself, he knows that he can't lift the butcher's knife.

The thieves will flow in blood and fire until the situation in the world is completely disturbed, and the world collapses irreparably, and rebuild a prosperous world on the ruins. Taking history as a mirror, the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the Yellow Nest disaster are all like this.

Born in troubled times, there is nothing to do.

Even if he only died in inaction, Zhai Zhe didn't want to let his whole body be stained with endless blood.

Chenjiazhuang.

The steppe wolf was personally summoned by Zhai Zhe, thinking that it was done, his expression was excited, and he reminisced with the absent-minded Xiao Zhiyan all the way.

After meeting Zhai Zhe, the steppe wolf once again told the meaning of King Chuang.

Zhai Zhe showed an embarrassed expression and said: "King Chuang's reputation in the Central Plains makes me fascinated, and I have long had this thought, but in the battle of Monan last year, the Han Department suffered great losses, and I am afraid that I will not be able to attack Xuanda in the short term!" ”

The steppe wolf didn't expect Zhai Zhe to reply like this, and he didn't know how to answer the incident.

"Over the years, King Chuang has built cavalry, and I have been helping with me, and now I have encountered some difficulties, I don't know if King Chuang can help!"

"What do you mean?"

"King Chuang once roamed the grassland, knowing the defects of the grassland, and what we lack most at the moment is the iron cavalry. I heard that King Chuang has built 30,000 ironclad cavalry, and we can't even match the arrowheads made of iron. If King Chuang can transfer some troops to us at a low price, in a few months, I will be able to discuss this matter with the Mongol khans!" ”

"This ......" steppe wolf can't call the shots.

"You go back and tell King Chuang about this, and then discuss!"

The business alliance has spent a lot this year, Zhai Zhe wants to get some oil and water from Gao Yingxiang's hands, judging from the business trend of the war horse, there is no shortage of money in the hands of the thieves, so it depends on Gao Yingxiang's reluctance to pay this capital.

After Zong Mao joined the Shang Alliance to take charge of Datong's business, in fact, the income and expenditure of the Han Department were integrated, and Zhai Zhe knew the accounts at a glance. After interacting with the daimyo officials, Zhai Zhecai's cash was really not enough to spend, especially Geng Guang's expenses in Beijing City were getting bigger and bigger, but he never complained at all.

After the steppe wolf left, there was no response for the time being, but the Shang Alliance then agreed to increase the price of the war horse, and Gao Yingxiang seemed to be hesitant.

The news from the south was delayed, and at the end of March, a message from the north made Zhai Zhe vigilant.

Zhang Guang, who killed the Hukou garrison, was transferred to the partial pass, and Jiao Yuanbo promoted a new officer, Li Mingli, from the Datong garrison, to serve as the new garrison. Killing Hu Kou and changing the garrison Shang Alliance was not a trivial matter, and Zhai Zhe immediately ordered Gong Chen to find out the details of Li Mingli.

Gong Chen's movements were fast, and within two or three days, he found out that this Li Mingli was originally one of the hundred households of Xuanda Town's Victory Fort, and he was appreciated when Jiao Yuanbo first came to Datong to inspect, and he was continuously recommended for promotion, which can be regarded as Jiao Yuanbo's cronies. I learned from my colleagues that Li Mingli was very strict in managing the army, in short, he was a person who still had some skills in the border army.

This is not good news for Zhai Zhe, for four or five years, Shangmeng and Zhang Guang have cooperated happily, and there must be a reason for the sudden change of person at this time.

After waiting for more than ten days, Hu Kou really had a reaction.

The new garrison Li Mingli took office, and the number of caravans that killed Hukou and left the fortress was strictly counted, how many people went out of the fortress, how many people were when the caravan returned, and the border pass of Hukou was not allowed to enter on weekdays. This is extremely inconvenient for the messenger to and fro. However, Li Mingli still turned a blind eye to the ironclad armament in the caravan and let it go out of the fortress.

Zhai Zhe understood, this was Jiao Yuanbo giving him a warning.

After the Great War of Monan, he spent half of his time in Senei, and lived in Datong for a particularly long time. The movements of the Han Department in Datong and Youyu in the past few months have aroused Jiao Yuanbo's vigilance.

In Zhai Zhe's eyes, Jiao Yuanbo, the governor of Datong, is a good official, and he can be regarded as a courageous official. But this is not a good time.

Jiao Yuanbo could allow the Mongols to obtain supplies from the Ming Dynasty, but he absolutely could not tolerate the infiltration of the Han tribe in the Ming Dynasty.

Knowing people and knowing faces but not hearts, no matter what Zhai Zhe thinks, the Han Department is still a vassal of the Tumut people in the eyes of big celebrities, and Jiao Yuanbo, as the parent official of Datong Town, should be responsible for the safety of Datong Town.

In mid-April, Zhai Zhe received news from Jiao Yuanbo and ordered him to enter the palace for a meeting.

Xiao Zhiyan was also uneasy and persuaded him not to enter the city at will.

Zhai Zhe thought about it, and decided to see Jiao Yuanbo, after all, the life and death line of the Shang Alliance was still in the hands of others, and Jiao Yuanbo did not leave him no room.

Datong Mansion is impregnable, and it is useless to bring more guards into the city, so Zhai Zhe simply entered the governor's yamen alone.

This time, even the gift of sending a letter to the porter was exempted, and after listening to Zhai Zhe tell his identity, the porter slipped into the house to report, and after a while, Zhai Zhe was brought in.

"Meet the Governor!" Zhai Zhe didn't even bend his waist, and said straight and straight.

"I'm glad you're here!" Jiao Yuanbo's attitude was very kind, and he didn't care about Zhai Zhe's rudeness.

"May I ask what your lordship means by your recent claim, has the bird been hidden?" Zhai Zhe spoke as a thousand households of the Tumut Han Department, and he was not polite at all.

"Are you Han or Tumut?" Jiao Yuanbo answered the question.

"I'm Han!"

"How?"

Zhai Zhe was silent for a moment and said, "I can't prove it!" ”

"That's right, it's not that I don't distrust you, but please take care of my difficulties!" As the governor of a town, it is very embarrassing to say such things to Zhai Zhe. After the Great War of Monan, Xuanda Town also had more awe for the Mongols who were close at hand. When Zhai Zhe wanted to enter the customs last year, Jiao Yuanbo also remembered the threatening words he said very clearly.

Zhai Zhe continued to be silent.

"I have already shown your loyalty to the imperial court as the Tumut Han Department, as long as you can persevere, I believe that the Han people who have left the fortress will return sooner or later!" slapped a slap and threw a date, Jiao Yuanbo was also worried that Zhai Zhe would do what he feared most under his anger.

"Your Excellency didn't lie to me? You know, I don't know anything about the court! ”

"You just have to go and find out, and you will know the truth and the false!"

"Good! If that's the case, you won't be embarrassed! (To be continued)
