"Come with me."

The scribe left hundreds of Zarayier people outside the Commander's Mansion, and then led Bao Yuanqian and his party to a fort tower.

The terrain of the whole Datong city is quite dangerous, and the command yamen in the city is erected on the middle of the hill in the city, and then the city wall fortress is built to include the entire hill, just like a city in the city that winds and winds.

Bao Yuanqian and his two captives walked all the way up, and only then did they suddenly open up through the narrow and dim passage, and the dim passage was already the highest point in the entire Datong City, and they all commanded the envoy Yamen.

Here the mountain overlooks the surroundings, you can see the whole picture of Datong City, wave after wave of Ming soldiers are practicing in the barracks, the deafening shouts of killing and the neighing of the horses out of the camp to practice archery are intertwined, back and forth galloping back and forth to guard the station of the Shanxi Xingdu Division.

"It seems that this Wu Gao is also a well-trained person." Bao Yuanqian looked at these Datong Ming troops who were waiting for the battle, they were already fat and strong, and their swords and guns were sharpened and they looked like they were ready to fight.

"Wait a while, Master Hou will be here soon." The bookkeeper took them into the room and closed the door.

"Brother, wouldn't this Wu Gao also be an accomplice, let's catch turtles in an urn?" Bao Butong was obviously a little uneasy.

Bao Yuanqian knocked him and said, "If this Wu Gao is an accomplice with these people, it will be much easier, so why hide it from him and go to the Senese people a little bit?"

"Squeak." Half an hour later, the porter rang and pushed the door and two men in official uniforms entered.

"I'm the commander of the capital, Wu Gao." The man in the emerald green official uniform looked at the few people in the room, "Who are you, and how did you hear this news?"

He didn't want to deal with these horse dealers at this juncture, but the bookkeeper added, "People say that Wu Hougui is the head of the Xingdu Division, but he suffers from constraints up and down, and he doesn't want to explain the reason when the military order is not passed?"

This sentence was exactly what Bao Yuanqian instructed the scribe in advance, and if Wu Hou didn't see it, he would tell him the second sentence.

It was precisely because of this sentence that Wu Gao had doubts, how could he, a horse dealer in the Tatar department, know about the internal affairs of the capital of this industry, so he had the heart to meet.

Bao Yuanqian clenched his fists and said: "We and the people outside the Beihua have already had the intention to belong to the Ming Dynasty, and the cowardly Xue guard chief who caught Arutai on the way south learned of the shocking conspiracy."

"Oh? I'll listen." Wu Gao saw that the two captives were one Han and one Mongolian, and he was naturally anxious about Arutai.

Bao Yuanqian looked at the burly man in dark yellow clothes beside him, and he looked a little embarrassed.

Now Datong City is full of holes, not to mention the guards in various places, even military attachés at all levels don't know if there are any female cadres. Except for Wu Gao, he really didn't dare to say anything.

"This is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Lord Ji Gangji." Wu Gao pointed at his colleague and said, "Master Ji is His Majesty's confidant, and he can be blunt in any word."

Originally, he wanted to come alone, but after thinking about it, he felt that this matter would not be simple, since someone sent news to the door, he naturally had the obligation to let the Jinyi guards in the capital know, and he could also clear himself of the suspicion that he could not command these officials.

When Bao Yuanqian heard the word Ji Gang, his eyes jumped and he glanced at the man who looked at the wolf a few times. In the future, Ji Gang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who was famous in the heart of the Dao, was actually in front of his eyes.

His loyal female cadre has its own history book conclusion, but since it is Ji Gang himself, it will naturally not be an inner female cadre. He asked his subordinates to remove the rags from the mouths of Na Cui Rui and the Tatar chieftain, and roughly told the conspiracy of the Shanxi Xingdu Si Ying and the outside.

Although Bao Yuanqian spoke eloquently and lightly, Wu Gao and Ji Gang were shocked when they heard it.

"That's why I know that adults are being constrained up and down, and they won't be able to get through." Bao Yuanqian sighed lightly and said, "This Shanxi Xingdu has long been a mixture of loyal women and cadres, and it is difficult to distinguish them."

Wu Gao frowned and muttered, "Zhenyu, Weiyuan, Yanghe, Gaoshan, Tiancheng... There's also a wild goose gate!"

He suddenly understood why these guard commanders were disobedient to him, he thought it was just a factional struggle, but he didn't expect these people's intentions to be even more sinister!

In ordinary times, he would definitely not believe the rumors from outside the country

It's just that now the captive's confession is here, thinking of the strange Song Zhilong, he can't help but believe it!

Wu Gaojing's light flashed, and he walked straight to the side of the sand table in the hall, which was vertical and horizontal, and the small flags were densely inserted on the sand table, which was obviously a simulated topographic map of Shanxi Xingdusi.

Everyone gathered around, and heard Wu Gao pointing to the sand table and said: "The two guards of Zhenyu and Weiyuan are guarding the mouth of the tiger in the northwest, and the garrison of the two guards is about 10,000 people, and the foot is divided. The three guards of Yanghe, Gaoshan, and Tiancheng are guarding Yanghekou in the northeast, and the garrison of the three guards is about one person, and they are infantry and cavalry."

Wu Gao pulled out the red flag, replaced it with a Tatar blue flag, and said, "If there is a problem with these two stops, the Tatars can go straight to the city of Datong in two ways.

Bao Yuanqian had no concept of the terrain around Datong before, but now after listening to Wu Gao's explanation along the topographic map of the sand table, he suddenly understood this danger.

This Datong is a long and narrow basin of the four stops, in addition to the mouth of the killing tiger and the mouth of Yanghe into the plug, there are only three gaps, one is the Ningwuguan trail that only allows a single person to ride through, but this road is not yet mature, almost a dead end.

The second is the throat of the ancient road, Yanmen Pass. Yanmen Pass is located in the south of Datong, is the throat Xiongguan that goes south to attack Taiyuan and reaches the Central Plains, if you lock Yanmen, you can be a husband when the pass is not opened, ravaging the narrow Datong Basin.

The other exit is to go northeast along the Sanggan River valley to Juyong Pass, sweeping Yanqing, Huailai, and Xuanfu.

These Tatars were extremely familiar with the terrain of Datong, and they did not think of breaking through the Yanmen Pass at all, but locked the Yanmen Pass with a clear goal to block the Taiyuan reinforcements from going north.

As soon as the Yanmen Gate was closed, the entire closed Datong Basin was left with only a gap in the Sanggan River Valley except for the two mouths, and the Tatar army plundered from the Sanggan River Valley and then plundered the Beiping Dusi, which was a seamless plan.

If they are allowed to succeed, the two divisions of the northern part of the country will be closed and beaten by dogs, and the reinforcements in the pass will be blocked in Juyong Pass and Yanmen Pass, and the situation will be out of control!

Ji Gang asked with a clattering sound, "How many soldiers and horses does Wu Hou have in his hands now?" His knuckles are thick and thick, and at first glance he looks like a martial artist.

Wu Gao listened and put the red flag on the sand table on Datong City, and said, "In addition to the guards scattered in the distance, Ben Hou has Datong in his hands in front, back, center, and left. However, the front, rear, and middle guards are the same city where the capital division is located, and the configuration of soldiers and horses has never been much, and there are only 2,000 people in one guard. There are about 9,000 people in the left and right guards from Datong, and there is only one person in total."

"How about the rebel guards?" Ji Gang crossed his arms and pondered the sand table.

Wu Gao pointed to a few blue flags and said: "All are on the side, each guard is full of 600 people, even if the soldiers have occasionally fled over the years, but it is a drop in the bucket, plus the 3,000 guards of the Yanmen Pass, the rebel army will not be less than 30,000 people."

Ji Gang frowned and said, "No less than 30,000 people... If you count the 40,000 Tatar horsemen in Arutai outside the pass, they have an army of 70,000." At this time, he realized that it was time for life and death, and the rebels were twice as numerous as themselves, and there was no room for sloppiness.

Wu Gao pondered, "Fortunately, we learned the news in advance, and this game seems to be outnumbered, but it is not difficult to crack."

He pointed to Yanmen Pass and said, "The pass is in Yanmen, if I personally lead a large army to attack Yanmen Pass, I will definitely be able to catch Xu Haibing off guard." Once they take control of Yanmen Pass, most of their plan will be ruined, and after we capture Yanmen, we will send people to spread the news to Taiyuan Mansion quickly, and lead a large army to support Xingdu Si, so that they will not dare to act rashly."

Ji Gang nodded and said, "Good plan, Wu Hou will go to Yanmen Pass at that time, and I will sneak to Juyong Pass with Jinyi Wei to wait." If there is no abnormality in Juyong, once there is an abnormality, we will take down the rebel general and lead the army of Beiping Dusi to attack the Sanggan River Valley. In this way, great things can be accomplished."

"Wu Hou's plan is indeed good, but he ignores one point." One person spoke, and Gao Ji and the two looked like Bao Yuanqian.

Bao Yuanqian said: "Now that the military attachés of the Xingdu Division have long been enemies and enemies, if Wu Hou mobilizes a large number of soldiers and horses, it will inevitably leak the news, once the grass is alarmed, then if Arutai knows that the matter is revealed, he will send troops immediately, and there is no room for turning around."

Wu Gao was a little stunned and said, "It makes sense, it's just... If you don't move your soldiers and horses, can I take Yanmen Pass with my dozens of personal guards?"

Bao Yuan

Qian Huixin smiled and said: "Wu Hou doesn't know the inside story, this more than 300 elite Tatars were originally going to Yanmen Pass, but they were annihilated by me outside the pass, and Xu Haibing of Yanmen is waiting for this group of people to be stationed in Yanmen. Now all my men are Ishishayans, no different from the Tatars. If Wu Hou does not abandon his trust, the people under my command can be the vanguard of Wu Hou's rebellion."

Wu Gao said abruptly after hearing this, "You mean..."

"Exactly, Wu Hou has ever heard of Li Yuxue entering Caizhou at night? As it is said, the army is plotting, and the city is besieged. If a capable person deceives the Guan soldiers and takes Yanmen without blood, why should they send a large army to attack the soldiers and increase the casualties?" Bao Yuanqian said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "If you take Yanmen quietly, those rebels will definitely not know. At that time, the reinforcements from Beiping and Taiyuan will come together, and they will definitely be able to wipe out these traitors. Wu Hou can't let these people hear the news in advance, so they will run away."

Wu Gao nodded, and thought in his heart that since these people were rebellious, they must not be allowed to leave, otherwise it would be difficult for the Son of Heaven to explain in anger.

If the army goes out to attack Yanmen, the movement is too big. It is very easy to leak the news, if these rebel generals learn the news in advance, and flee north after sweeping the people's army to loot Datong, then they are still guilty of escaping.

"Even though you say that, it's just that you're an outsider, and your identity is unknown. Just let Wu Hou go to Yanmen with you, who knows if it's a feast of Hongmen?"

Just as Wu Gao was about to agree to this timer, Ji Gang on the side squinted his eagle eyes and looked at Bao Yuanqian and his party.

Bao Yuanqian looked at Ji Gang, who was extremely distrustful of him, glared at him twice, and couldn't help but feel bad.

Ji Gang said: "How did you know such a big news? If it's the inner line of Arutai, wouldn't it leave the top and bottom of the Xingdu Division leaderless?!"

"Fuck you!" Bao Bu heard the same tiger roar, pointed at Ji Gang and scolded: "My brother has worked so hard, I don't know how many times he died before he got the news back, and you are still fighting in the nest here!"

He knew that Ji Gang was Jinyiwei, but the Jinyiwei he knew since he grew up in Suzhou Wei was only Ying Hao and the others, and he felt that this Jinyiwei was not a big deal.

Now seeing that Ji Gang is so suspicious of his own group, no matter what kind of acquaintance he is or the commander, he naturally scolds.

"How many heads do you have?" Ji Gang laughed instead of being angry.

Bao Butong pushed away Ying Hao, who was blocking him, and said, "It doesn't matter how many heads the master has, but if you talk nonsense, the master will definitely be able to guarantee to screw your head off!"

What he said is true, not to mention his two arms, just say that he is hiding behind people without looking amazing, it is not something he can handle.

Ji Gang sneered, looked at Wu Gao and said, "Wu Hou, I said that these people are from unknown origins, so be cautious. Now that I have questioned it, I have jumped over the wall in a hurry, and I have not quickly sent someone to take it down for interrogation."

Bao Yuanqian sneered: "The dignified brocade guards are actually loyal to women, and they are blinded!" He looked sideways at Feng Saizhang on the side, and he was already planning to take Ji Gang in his heart.

This Ji Gang is cunning, and he has clearly heard the news of himself, but he wants to beat him upside down, but it is very insidious.

Wu Gao was in a dilemma for a while, this was his only chance to break the game, and he was willing to take risks for it.

"Ki-sama! This is a misunderstanding, they are all straightforward and pure people, and this trip is for the sake of attaching the Great Ming."

Just when Wu Gao was in a dilemma, Ying Hao, who was dressed plainly and cleaned up simply, stepped forward to speak.

"Who are you? Who is qualified to say that?" Ji Gang frowned and looked at Ying Haodao, who looked like a Han man.

"I'm the brocade guards scattered on the side, Ying Hao." Ying Hao explained, "I and the hundred households of Kou Shicheng are all Jinyi guards who have lived in the border pass for a long time, and they have inquired about the Tatar Warat army many times. This information was discovered by me and this righteous man of Saibei, and it is absolutely true."

"Jin Yiwei?" Ji Gang and Wu Gao couldn't help but be surprised, they didn't expect that in this bitter cold place in the north of the country, there were still Jinyi guards willing to take such a big risk to spy on intelligence.

Ying Hao presented the two waist cards and said gloomily, "For this reason, Kou Baihu has been martyred. The two adults, these righteous people in Saibei, are all righteous and thin, and they are all proud and righteous, and they have been together many times

Help me both. I beg the two lords not to let the Kou Baihu sacrifice in vain, and don't let the people of Senai cause trouble!"

Bao Yuanqian secretly said yes, they didn't calculate that Wu Gao was next to this brocade guard, and he was still a second-in-command guard commander with Ji Gang!

Originally, he couldn't figure out how to gain Ji Gang's trust, but this Ying Hao came in handy.

Sure enough, Ji Gang handed the waist card to his subordinates, so that the Jinyi guard who followed outside the door dispelled a lot of doubts after inspecting the thin one.

That Ying Hao is both a brocade guard, and he said so. Naturally, he has to send it when he is ready to fly, and he is not good to doubt it too much.

Ji Gang snorted coldly, looked at Bao Butong and said, "What's the name of the two of you?"

"Xiao Ye Xing will not change his name, and he will not change his surname. Wrap the cloth together!" Bao Butong pointed at Bao Yuanqian and said, "This is my brother, Bao Yuanqian!"

"Very good, there are few people who dare to insult this official, great." Ji Gang glanced at the two of them meaningfully, and then said to Wu Gao: "Since Wu Hou has made up his mind, time is running out. I'll take someone to Juyongguan right away, and we'll see you when it's done."

Wu Gaozuo said, "Now there is Master Lao Ji."

After sending Ji Gang away, Wu Gao looked at the Bao family brothers, he never expected that people who did not have official positions in size would not be afraid of Ji Gang at all, and couldn't help but become interested in these people, "Your name is Bao Yuanqian, right?"

"Exactly."

"Good Bao Yuanqian, immediately take your men and horses to Yanmen Pass with Ben Hou."

"Obey!"

...........

There are nine stops in the world, headed by Yanmen!

The continuous and majestic Yanmen Fortress is brightly lit, like a fire dragon crawling on the mountain in the vast dark night. In the winter night, the Yanmen Xiongguan, the wind blew the goose feather snow and drifted down, fell straight on the armor of the Ming army under martial law in the city tower and turned into snow water, disappeared without a trace.

Shuoqi spreads the golden watch, and the cold light shines on the iron coat. The melting snow aggravated the chill of the soldiers.

Xu Haibing, the guard commander of Yanmen Pass, was standing on the tower of Yanmen Xiongguan with a heavy mind at the moment, looking at the dark valley fields in the north with heating, as if he was anxiously waiting for something.

Suddenly, a watchtower's Ming army sounded gongs and drums and sounded the alarm, "There is a situation!"

Xu Haibing got up and looked, and sure enough, in the valley where the two cliffs were towering, there was a faint flash of fire.

The man he was waiting for is here!
