Early September.

The endless drizzle lit the yellow flowers all over the meadow, adding another layer of coldness to the area around Dongtao Ulate.

The face of the rabbit facing the firelight of the bonfire also looked more and more gloomy.

Boom!

Suddenly, the Rabbit kicked over the copper basin burning the bonfire, causing sparks to splash everywhere, and the flying fire almost tore Rick's robe.

"What are you doing, he doesn't come, can you blame me?!"

Pullik looked angry and asked loudly, and then said, "What kind of tantrum are you throwing here?!" Do you think that I don't want to completely annihilate this Ming army, so as to monopolize Dabansheng City! ”

"Hua Ma Chi, Bi Bai said that he had an internal response, let us directly attack the city pass, but there was no internal response at all, and later we found out that it was Wan Shide and Xiao Ruxun These Han people had already driven out the Mongolian people in the city, and we lost people in vain."

"Now, because I heard that he Magui is going to attack Hetao directly, I will contact you and let all the Mongolian people come here to ambush him, and I want you to lure him out and occupy Bansheng City by the way, but I have waited until the frost is getting heavier and heavier, and I haven't waited for him, do you have to wait until the snow to wait for these Ming troops?!"

After saying this, he stood up directly and said to Rick: "Either you are too stupid and show your stuffing; Or maybe he's too cautious! ”

"Then I'll send someone to urge him, and continue to say that there aren't many people here who are working on the rabbit, and the main force of your rabbit is still playing in the south of the flower horse pond."

As he spoke, he looked at the rabbit and asked, "Is this all right?" ”

Li Rabbit said: "This is naturally the best, now we must let him come to the trap we set, otherwise we will come here in vain!" ”

Pullik nodded, and then really sent someone to send a letter to Magui again, asking Magui to come quickly.

But Pullik waited for several days and didn't get a letter from Magui.

"Maybe it's already here?"

"So the messenger didn't come?"

"Maybe something else has delayed and the messenger has gone wrong on the way?"

So Rick talked to the Rabbit on this day.

Zhu Li Rabbit said in a deep voice: "Wait for him for another month, if he doesn't come for a month, I can only go to Zhenbei Pass and worship Li Rusong, you remember to send a few more messengers to urge!" ”

"In addition, it is ulterior motives to send people to him to Daming Jingshi to spread the word that Ma Gui stayed in Dabansheng City and did not advance, and deliberately colluded with King Qing and the Tumut Department to rebel."

"Good!"

Capital.

Due to the cooling of the weather, Shen Shixing, who had already put on his jacket first, looked a lot fatter, and when he got up, his movements were slower, so he had to pull his belt first, and then asked Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang:

"Are you saying that Hou Mashuai of Shuozhou is still in Dabansheng City?"

Li Chengliang nodded first and replied: "It's almost winter, is it too cautious for him to stay there?" ”

"It can't be because the roast lamb is so delicious, right?"

Shen Shixing asked with a smile, and then looked at Qi Jiguang: "Does the cardinal minister have any plans to send someone to urge, Huamachi is still waiting to be lifted." ”

Qi Jiguang thought for a while and replied: "Don't rush to urge first, at this time, Magui should want to win more than any of us." ”

"But you can't just drag it on forever, I think you still have to rush, it's not good to keep consuming like this."

At this time, Wang Xuan, the secretary of the ministry, said.

And Shen Yiyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said: "Is it possible that this Shuozhou Marquis had other intentions to deliberately delay his progress?" ”

Shen Shixing looked stunned after hearing this, and then asked, "What can you think?" ”

"I am also dissatisfied with the exemption from forced labor, and I want to restore the old rites!"

"That's why he deliberately waited for Huamachi to be captured, the Tieling Hou Department was completely annihilated, and the entire Shaanxi Province was not protected, and then he and the Tartars of the Tumut Department waved their troops south!"

Recently, there has been such an argument among the people.

Shen said consistently.

Li Chengliang said at this time, and said: "This is impossible!" He must have been too cautious. ”

"How is it impossible, Shuozhou Hou is the general of Datong, I don't know how many officials in the entire Hedong will be his relatives and friends, if he has this thought, he is naturally more suitable than others."

At this time, Shen Yi followed up again, and then looked at Shen Shixing: "Yuanfu, I think Your Majesty should give an order to urge Magui to attack the Mongolian camp in Hetao as soon as possible, relieve the siege of Huamachi, and recover Hetao!" ”

Shen Shixing looked at Qi Jiguang: "What do you think?" ”

Qi Jiguang asked rhetorically: "Ma Gui is not credible, are Lu, Dong, Du and others not credible?!" ”

"Seventy thousand officers and soldiers, not his private soldiers, as well as the superintendent of the imperial history and the Jinyi guard, and even a lot of people from Xingming Academy have served as officers, so there is no need to mess around."

"The Imperial History of the Prison Army, Li Suifang, sent an urgent delivery!"

At this time, the privy deputy envoy Ling Yunyi walked over quickly, handed a copy to Qi Jiguang and said: "Li Suifang impeached Hou Magui of Shuozhou for staying in Daban and not being able to advance, resulting in stagnation in military affairs and declining morale, and there is a suspicion of being captured!" ”

For a moment, the quiet needle drop in the Imperial Division could be heard.

And Qi Jiguang opened his mouth first: "Transfer Li Suifang back!" In order to show his trust in Ma Gui, let him supervise the army to supervise whether there is any corruption of military salaries, not to interfere with the command. ”

"How can there be such a reason, if this thing is true, how can you let Yushi be wronged?"

Shen couldn't help but ask.

"Which Imperial Historian has been wronged?"

Zhu Yijun walked in at this time.

Seeing this, Shen Shixing and the others hurriedly bowed their hands: "Your Majesty! ”

Then, Qi Jiguang told Zhu Yijun what Li Suifang had played, and told Zhu Yijun that Ma Gui was still in Dabansheng City, and he did not break through the Mongolian camp in Hetao.

Zhu Yijun said at this time: "The cardinal's decision is right. ”

As he spoke, Zhu Yijun said, "Bring people up!" ”

After a short time, as soon as the official who served as a foreigner in the Privy Council was brought up by the brocade guard.

Zhu Yijun then asked Qi Jiguang: "Can the prime minister recognize him?" ”

Qi Jiguang replied: "I recognize, it's Geng Xianlong, a member of the Privy Council." ”

"This person was captured and found out by Jinyiwei."

"As soon as your Privy Council transferred troops, Cao Zideng and Bibai knew that it was aimed at him."

"The matter of Ma Gui's exit has also been spread by him, so the trap must have dealt with it."

Zhu Yijun said and looked at Shen Shixing and the others: "You must understand why I said that the cardinal's decision was right, right?" ”

"Wait for you to understand!"

Zhu Yijun then asked: "Do you know that in recent years, what has the imperial court vigorously developed infrastructure for?" ”

Many of the ruling ministers looked at each other.

At this time, only Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang looked at each other and smiled, and then Qi Jiguang came out of the queue first and replied:

"Your Majesty should be fighting for the imperial court, and the ability to transfer troops and transport grain is stronger, so that the imperial court can withstand one or two major defeats without hurting your muscles and bones!"
