Wang Guoxing followed him up to the mountain, and saw that the top of Mo'er Mountain was still very open, but he didn't believe it, how could there be more than 600 people living in this collapsed house like a cellar on the mountain.

When following Zhou Yuji down a few steps into a semi-underground hall, Wang Guoxing had to be surprised to feel that this house was a little whimsical, semi-underground, in addition to the side windows, there are a number of skylights on the top, not at all dark, nor do you feel stuffy, but also feel particularly warm, looking at a few vertical and horizontal rows of columns, feeling the space of this hall, Wang Guoxing assessed, at least two hundred people.

Seeing the surprise on Wang Guoxing's face, Zhou Yuji smiled and asked, "How do you feel?" Doesn't that seem amazing? ”

Wang Guoxing joked, "I really didn't expect it, if I knew that it was so comfortable to stay in this place, I would have come to join in." ”

Wang Daliang laughed when he heard it, "This is all thought up by our second master." It's relatively warm to live in, and it's very simple to build. I'm just asking how many people Hou Ye brought? To tell the truth, some of the things we eat on this mountain are that the water we drink is not enough, and if Hou Ye's people come, I am afraid that the water will not be enough. ”

Zhou Yuji explained: "What Daliang said is true, the biggest problem in this place is the lack of water. ”

Wang Guoxing was a little anxious, "Then what should I do?" Not only did I bring 2,000 soldiers there, but I also had two horses, and all the way there was dry food to eat, and not only were the people thirsty, but the horses were almost unbearable. ”

Wang Daliang said with a smile: "Hou Ye, don't worry, you go ten miles to the south, there is a small river, although there is no water in the river at this time, but there is a big puddle in the mountain bay by the river, the water can be used casually, just discuss with the prince what to do if everyone eats?" ”

Wang Guoxing looked at Wang Daliang, "Brother, what do you think?" ”

Wang Daliang smiled, "Because there is a lot of water in that place, there are a lot of trees, you can cut down and burn firewood, I want to send you two or three hundred sheep, and then send dozens of pots, everything with condiments and salt, where can you eat barbecue." ”

Wang Guoxing laughed when he heard it, "Hahahaha! Isn't that too blessed for them, what about the horses? ”

Wang Daliang said with a smile: "Master Hou, we have some grain here, why don't you send 20,000 catties of grain, and there is hay growing on the hillside." ”

Wang Guoxing was so happy, "Oops! That's great, it's hard work. ”

Wang Daliang went out and called Fan Batu, the third master, and Liu Jindao, the fourth master, to explain, and Fan Batu and Liu Jindao immediately took people and started to do it.

This Fan Batu is a Mongolian with the surname Fan and his full name is Hasbatu.

Isn't that incredible? How did the Mongols get the Han surname?

Strictly speaking, the Mongols traditionally do not have a surname, and usually use the tribal name of the tribe to which they belong before the first name, but the tribal name is not directly linked to the individual's name as a surname, so Mongolians usually only have a first name, no surname.

When the Mongols occupied China, they found that the Han people had surnames, and they were also very particular about naming names, which were far stronger than their only names, so they began to find a surname for themselves according to the habits of the Han people, so that the blood relationship would not be chaotic.

What should I have my last name? Of course, you can't get up blindly, so I find a surname for myself according to several principles, roughly there are these principles: first, take the name of the tribe as the surname; 2. Take the name of the clan as the surname; 3. Take the ancestor's name as the surname; Fourth, directly borrow the surname of the Han as the surname.

Some also gave themselves the name of the Han nationality, such as the late Yuan general Kuangkuo Timur, and the name of the Han nationality was Wang Baobao.

This Wang Baobao is a great person, he once assisted the Northern Yuan Zhaozong Aiyou Zhili Dala, trying to recover the Great Yuan Dynasty, Ming Hongwu five years to break the Ming army in Mobei, by the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang praised as the world's strange man. However, the replacement of the old dynasty and the new generation is not transferred by personal will, and finally Wang Baobao died in the Haranahai, representing the official withdrawal of the Northern Yuan people from the Central Plains stage.

Liu Jindao's original name was Liu Jindao, when he first participated, he was holding a rusty knife in his hand, others laughed at him that the knife was rusty, he must have never fought, and he called himself a hero, Liu Jindao was strong, and insisted that the rusty knife was not rusty, but a golden knife, so everyone simply called him Liu Jindao, Liu Jindao's skills were the highest in the whole cottage, and generally five or six people were not opponents, so when they went to the grassland to grab cattle and sheep, under normal circumstances, Fan Batu and Liu Jindao led the team.

Zhou Yuji has been recuperating in Mo'er Mountain for more than ten days, and he is particularly worried about the situation outside, "Lord Wang, how is the capital?" How did the second master of this cottage become the son of the queen mother? Is the emperor okay? How about the DPRK? What other arrangements does the emperor have? Is there any movement in Liaodong's Jianyu? ”

A series of questions almost blinded Wang Guoxing, this week the Hou Ye seems to be unable to stay in this place, anxious.

Wang Guoxing looked at Zhou Yuji, "Marquis Zhou, don't you know, at the beginning, everyone heard that you fought Li Zicheng, and everyone admired Li Zicheng for killing seventy or eighty thousand people, who has such a ability?" I heard that Li Zicheng slaughtered Ning Wu, the whereabouts of the Hou Ye are unknown, some people think that you will die, someone set up a mourning hall to commemorate you, and I was uncomfortable for several days, in those days, the emperor was also irritable, often angry, and beat people at every turn. ”

Zhou Yuji was moved and sighed, "How can Yuji He De worry about the emperor, he didn't keep Daizhou Ningwu, and he is ashamed of the emperor!" ”

Wang Guoxing filled Zhou Yuji's tea bowl with tea, "Don't say that, Marquis Zhou, if you let Guoxing come to guard Ningwu in Daizhou, Guoxing will definitely not be greedy for life and afraid of death, but he doesn't have the ability to eliminate so many people from Li Zicheng!" In the south, Huang Degong is leading troops north, after the emperor heard about it, he praised Huang Degong as the same as you, he is a loyal minister and good general of the dynasty, and Ma Dai, the chief soldier of Baoding, was promoted to the governor of Jiliao, what do you guess the emperor said about Ma Dai? ”

Zhou Yuji looked at Wang Guoxing in surprise, "How do you evaluate it?" ”

Wang Guoxing said with a smile: "The emperor asked Ma Dai if he dared to take two thousand men and horses to sweep both sides of the canal?" Ma Dai said, it doesn't take 2,000 people, 1,000 people are enough, the emperor praised Ma Dai for having another Zhou Yu Ji in my dynasty, hehe! You don't know how much the emperor appreciates you, otherwise, you can't directly crown your marquis! ”

"Recently, a lot of things have happened in the imperial court, first of all, the first is to arrest the first assistant Wei Zaode, followed by the arrest of Chengguo Duke Zhu Chunchen and Xiangcheng Bo Li Guozhen, appointed Li Banghua as the first assistant, the emperor is worried about Jiang Huang and Wang Chengyin in the north, and secretly confessed to bring two thousand brocade guards to find Zhou Houye, and he was also worried about accidents, in two days, people did not break the saddle, and rushed over, thanks to the fact that he often rode horses before, or he died in the middle of the road, you don't know my subordinates, many people will not walk when they get off the horse."

"The emperor said, after the Marquis of Zhou took over Datong, he should step up the rectification of the troops, train people, and choose a capable cadre to guard the line of Ningwu Pass in Daizhou to the side pass, and form an attack posture against Li Zicheng, the focus is still to prevent the Northern Yuan people."

"The emperor analyzed that Li Zicheng may have returned to Shaanxi a long time ago, and when to recover Taiyuan, everything is decided by the Marquis of Zhou himself. In order to form an oppressive trend against Li Zicheng, the emperor also promoted Liu Zhongsi, the commander of the Baoding Rear Army, to take over as the general army of Baoding, and ordered Liu Zhongsi to send troops to the Bauhinia Pass and the first line of the Reverse Horse Pass to attack the Liukou. When to hit? Everything is decided by the Marquis of Zhou himself, the emperor said, the war is to destroy the enemy, not to care about the gains and losses of a city and a place, and repeatedly explained that he must explain this truth clearly to Marquis Zhou. ”

"Shi Kefa was promoted to a second assistant, and the emperor ordered Shi Kefa to be in charge of Jiangnan affairs as a second assistant. Now, Shi Kefa and Huang Degong are leading the soldiers and horses along the canal to the north, Ma Dai assisted Shi Kefa to capture Liu Qingze and brought the soldiers and horses of Shandong to the capital, Huang Degong led his subordinates to clean up the Liukou in southwest Lu and eastern Henan, it is estimated that after Huang Degong succeeded, the emperor would have a holy decree to the Marquis of Zhou, and I am afraid that he would have to assist the Marquis of Zhou to do it at that time. ”

Zhou Yuji understood that by that time, Emperor Zhu Youzhen wanted to attack Li Zicheng in the north and east directions, which would indeed force Li Zicheng to retreat, needless to say, he led his troops south, and the line of the Great Wall was handed over to Wang Guoxing, "The emperor is really clever!" ”

Wang Guoxing looked at Zhou Yuji with a smile, "Didn't Marquis Zhou ask how the second master of this cottage became the adopted son of the Queen Mother?" What's going on? I can't tell you even below. It is said that Zuo Du Du is the nephew of the Queen Mother's hometown, and the whole family died in the Kaifeng City Flood the year before last, it is estimated that at that time, Zuo Du Du went to the capital and began to secretly run errands for the emperor, and he was also sent by the emperor to Shanxi, and the emperor ordered Zuo Du Du to save the Hou Ye of Zhou no matter what. ”

Zhou Yuji was stunned, could it really be that the emperor sent Zuo Dudu to save him? Thinking about it, it should indeed be like this, otherwise how could this Zuo Dudu lead his troops to Ningwu Pass so coincidentally? Six hundred people dared to attack Li Zicheng's army of hundreds of thousands, and no one would do anything! Could it be that the emperor has long suspected that Jiang Jiu and Wang Chengyin are unreliable? Think about it, otherwise, why wake up and ask what's going on, Zuo Dudu only laughed and didn't answer?

My mother! The emperor is really great, what a genius.

However, the emperor is so clever, so there is nothing he can do about Li Zicheng? Contradictory!

"Where's Shanhaiguan?" , Zhou Yuji asked, he was born in Liaodong, he was a soldier in Liaodong, what kind of feelings people who have lost their homes are towards their hometown, everyone must be able to understand, Zhou Yuji never forgot to recover Liaodong, but the army of the imperial court has been defeated again and again for more than ten years, retreating again and again, and every battle will be lost, which makes Zhou Yuji very frustrated, and gradually discouraged.

"The emperor also thinks about it, listens to the emperor's intentions, and after compressing Li Zicheng to a certain range, he will fight Jianyu."

Zhou Yuji was surprised, does the imperial court still have the strength to fight Jianyu? People have entered the jam several times, rampaged, and robbed there if they wanted, and the court had no way at all.

Wang Guoxing smiled: "Don't look at me like that, Marquis Zhou, I tell you, it's really possible to defeat Jianyu." ”

"Why?" , Zhu Youzhen's eyes widened.

"Hehehehehe! If it were our gang, it would definitely not work, but Zuo Dudu could! ”

Zhou Yuji looked at Wang Guoxing, and didn't know why Wang Guoxing said this, could it be that Zuo Du Jing and tactics? That's impossible, the contrast between the two sides is too bad.

"Marquis Zhou! Recently, the big things that happened in the court, do you think the emperor did it? Actually, it's not, that Wei Zaode was just promoted by the emperor, if the emperor finds out that Wei Zaode is a traitor, can he promote Wei Zaode? If you think about it, you can understand, that Zhu Chunchen is also the emperor's most trusted person, right? How long has that Li Guozhen been managing the Beijing camp? Since the time of his father Li Shouqi, the Beijing camp has been managed by their family, why has the emperor never found out that there is a problem with the Beijing camp? Zuo Du Governor went to the imperial court, why were all the traitors discovered? ”

Then, Wang Guoxing talked about the process of Zhu Youzhen's military parade.

Zhou Yuji was particularly surprised when he heard this, "So, it was really Zuo Dudu who found out." ”

Wang Guoxing laughed, "Is that okay?" I'm afraid that this brocade guard will also move. ”

Zhou Yuji was taken aback, "Jinyi Wei is the emperor's guard, and he is also in charge of the prison, what's the matter?" ”

"What's going on? We don't know. I'm afraid that Luo Yangxing will be unlucky, do you know who the emperor promoted when he exempted me from the errand of Jinyiwei? Li Ruoqi. This person you may not know, is a very upright person. To tell you the truth, there are a lot of ruffians mixed in the brocade guard, and I'm afraid they will have to be cleaned up. In the past, our kingdom was very good, and the emperor was also important, but he had never been so important, otherwise, how could you ask me to come to Shanxi to find you to take over Xuanfu in the future? I'm afraid it was also recommended by Zuo Dudu to the emperor. With our identity, we are all marquises, what can we do if we have an errand or not? But the emperor trusts, and if you hand over the big things to us to do, it will feel different, to be honest, I don't have as much ability as you, I don't want to make much credit, and I am very content to do the errand given by the emperor. ”
