As night fell, the defense in Jizhou City was more than several times stricter than before!

The streets were full of patrolling soldiers, and if they found someone with suspicious deeds, they could kill them on the spot without reporting it.

At this moment, the hall of the Governor's Palace is still brightly lit.

At this moment, Yang Xuan, the governor of Jiliao, was counting the materials transported by the imperial court according to the list with many officials.

Perhaps feeling a little tired, I saw Yang Xuan put the list in his hand aside, picked up the teacup on the side, took a sip, and then instructed those officials.

"It's not too early, you guys go down and rest for a while!"

Hearing Yang Xuan's words, those officials responded in unison.

"Yes, Lord Governor!"

Seeing this, Yang Xuan nodded imperceptibly, and the whole person suddenly relaxed.

Originally, Yang Xuan only planned to close his eyes and recuperate for a while, but as soon as he closed his eyes, an irresistible sense of sleepiness swept his whole body in.

I saw Yang Xuan close his eyes and fall asleep.

Ever since Yang Xuan received the report from the scouts and learned that there was a Tatar army of 50,000 people less than 100 miles away from Jizhou, his nerves were highly tense, and he kept making corresponding deployments without resting for a moment.

Yang Xuan knew that as the governor of Jiliao, he would definitely not be able to make any mistakes!

If this is left unchecked, and the 50,000 Tatar army is allowed to plunder wantonly, I am afraid that it will be another Gengxu change, and at that time, the black gauze hat on his head will not be guaranteed, and those innocent people will also suffer.

Even if his black yarn hat can be kept, Yang Xuan can't get over the hurdle in his heart, since he became the governor of Jiliao, he has often suffered from the invasion of Tatars, and he Yang Xuan has long been fed up with this wretched spirit.

Therefore, Yang Xuan made up his mind to take advantage of the opportunity of the strategic focus of the imperial court to give a painful blow to those Tatars who dared to invade the Ming frontier!

He also wants to be like Hu Zongxian on the southeast coast, make immortal contributions, and leave a good name in history in the future and be admired by future generations!

At this moment, Yang Bo, who had just finished inspecting the city's defenses, walked into the Governor's Palace.

He had planned to consult with Yang Xuan again about how to deal with the enemy, but when he saw the sleeping figure in the hall, he shook his head imperceptibly, and without making any sound, turned around and left the governor's palace.

As soon as Yang Bo walked out of the Governor's Palace, he bumped into a guard who was in a hurry and his face was full of anxiety.

Seeing this, Yang Bo frowned slightly, and immediately asked.

"Panicked, what kind of system, what happened?"

When the guard saw Yang Bo, he seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and hurriedly told Yang Bo everything he knew, like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

Yang Bo was also quite surprised after listening to the guard's report, and immediately confirmed.

"You mean, the Tatars, send an envoy to contact us?"

"Yes, Lord Shangshu!"

Seeing this, the guard nodded, and immediately responded.

Just as Yang Bo was about to go back and wake up Yang Xuan, who was asleep, a voice came from behind him.

"What did you just say, that the Tatars sent an emissary?"

When Yang Bo heard this, he followed the prestige, only to suddenly find that Yang Xuan had woken up from his sleep at some point.

Seeing that Yang Xuan, the governor of Jiliao, personally inquired about this matter, the guard had to repeat the reason for the matter again.

Yang Xuan also frowned after patiently listening to the guard's report, everything that happened in front of him was too weird, which made Yang Xuan a little confused for the time being, and then, I saw Yang Xuan turn his gaze to Yang Bo on the side, and asked.

"Brother Weiyo, you say, what kind of medicine are sold in these Tatar gourds?"

"The two sides are about to start a war, but they just send an envoy at this time......"

Then, I saw Yang Bo gather his mind, a determined look appeared on his face, and he immediately spoke.

"Let me go and meet these Tartar messengers, and I want to see what tricks they can play!"

When Yang Xuan heard this, he immediately stopped Yang Bo, who was about to leave, and spoke.

"I'll go with you."

When Yang Bo heard this, he immediately paused, turned his gaze to Yang Xuan, and categorically refused.

"No, you are the Governor of Jiliao, you must not make any mistakes!"

After Yang Bo finished speaking, he didn't stop at all, turned around and left the Governor's Palace.

And Yang Xuan looked at the back of Yang Bo leaving, and was silent for a long time, and then as if he had made up his mind, he returned to the Governor's Mansion and dealt with the unfinished business before.

……

Next, under the leadership of the guards, Yang Bo met with Amugu and his party who came to serve as envoys.

Before that, their weapons had been confiscated, and in order not to reveal the state of the city's defenses, they were blindfolded and taken to a room, where they were strictly guarded to prevent any accidents.

Amugu was very happy about Yang Bo's arrival, and immediately whispered to the subordinate who was in charge of translation on the side, and after muttering for a while, the subordinate turned his eyes to Yang Bo and spoke.

"I've seen the respected Ming officials, my name is Amugu, and I came here this time to ask for help from the Ming army, entrusted by the leader of my family, Ja Ertu!"

After hearing these words, Yang Bo immediately turned his gaze, and the subordinate behind him who could understand Mongolian only continued after receiving an affirmative answer from the other party.

"You tell him that this official is Yang Bo, the left Shangshu of the Ming Army, why do you want to ask for help from my Ming Army?"

After listening to Yang Bo's words, the subordinate in charge of translation immediately translated it to Amugu as it was.

After hearing this, Amugu's face was full of excitement, and he muttered for a while.

After a while, I saw the subordinate in charge of the translation continue.

"The leader of my family, Jaertu, received an order from the Great Khan of Tumaihan to clear the way for the army."

"But this is not the original intention of the head of my family, he was coerced by Tumaihan, so he had to act like this, not long ago, Tumaihan sent a messenger and issued an ultimatum, let us attack you by tomorrow night at the latest!"

"There are many people in the tribe who oppose the rule of Tumaihan, and the leader of my family is one of them, and because of this, he was chosen to be the target of Tumaihan's murder of chickens and monkeys!"

After listening to the translation, Yang Bo also reacted quickly, and immediately sneered and asked rhetorically.

"In this case, this is completely an internal matter of your tribe, why should I, Daming, take a huge risk to help you?"

Yang Bo paused for a moment when he said this, and then continued.

"Besides, even if what you say is true, you must know that your Tumaihan Khan has a full army of 50,000!"

"And you are only 3,000 people, there is no need for me to take this risk."

Immediately, I saw Yang Bo looking directly into Amugu's eyes and saying word by word.

"Besides, if it is not of my race, its heart will be different!"

"The official can't trust you, you can go back before the official changes his mind."

After the translator relayed Yang Bo's words to Amugu, the look on his face suddenly became anxious, and then he muttered to the translator for a while.

Hearing this, the translator nodded, and then relayed Amugu's words to Yang Bo word for word.

"He said that he could swear by Allah Allah, and that what he had just said was all true, and there was not a single lie!"

Despite this, Yang Bo still looked like he didn't make any progress, and he only spoke after confirming to his subordinates behind him that there were no mistakes or omissions in the translation.

"I don't know anything about this, and I don't have the slightest interest."

"Before the officer's patience is completely exhausted, you can go!"

When Yang Bo's words fell, the expression on his face suddenly became cold, and he immediately waved his sleeves violently and got up from the seat, looking like he was about to leave.

Seeing this, Amugu suddenly panicked, as if he had made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and said to the subordinate in charge of translation for a while.

And the subordinate in charge of the translation, after listening to Amugu's words, suddenly changed his face.

In the end, he still chose to accept Amugu's order and relayed the words to Yang Bo, who was about to leave.

"He said that in order to show you the sincerity of cooperation, they can take the lead in attacking the 50,000-strong army of Tumaihan!"

When Yang Bo heard this, he couldn't help but stop the steps he was about to leave, his face was full of surprise, and after looking Amugu up and down before continuing.

"Hmph, good calculation, what if you colluded with Tumaihan early in the morning and used a trick to lure our army out of the city, and then the two sides joined forces and killed our army together?"

"This official still says the same thing, if it is not my race, its heart will be different!"

"You must know that what this official carries on his shoulders is the net worth and lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Jizhou Town!"

The subordinate in charge of the translation, after hearing Yang Bo's words, suddenly stiffened on his face, and immediately relayed these words to Amugu.

After listening to the words relayed by the translator, Amugu couldn't think of any countermeasures for the time being.

No matter what conditions he proposed, the Ming official in front of him always had a skeptical attitude, and in the end, in a hurry, he saw Amugu showing determination, kneeling on the ground with a 'plop', looking directly into Yang Bo's eyes, and putting forward his own suggestions.

"We will send false news to Tumaihan that we have broken through your defenses and induce them to lead a large army deeper, and then we will attack them, you only need to send troops and horses to watch the battle from a distance."

"As for whether to participate in the war or not, it is up to you to decide, if you can annihilate the main force of Tumaihan, within ten years, he will not be able to invade you again!"

After these words were relayed to Yang Bo by the translator's subordinates, I saw Yang Bo's eyes narrowed slightly, and he began to think about it in his heart.

I have to say that Yang Bo's heart was moved by Amugu's words, if he can annihilate the main force of Tumaihan, the frontier of the Ming Dynasty will be stable for a long time, in other words, this is a battle that will be completed in one battle!

If this happens, the Ming will be able to greatly weaken the power of the Tatars, and they will no longer have to worry about the intrusion from Tumaihan, but will be able to free up their hands to concentrate on dealing with Altan Khan.

In the face of this huge temptation, no one could resist it, and immediately, I saw Yang Bo retract his gaze, casually found an excuse, and immediately spoke.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to ask my chief for instructions!"

When the words fell, Yang Bo did not stop for the slightest, and after telling his subordinates to take care of these Tatar envoys, he turned around and left the room.

After Yang Bo left the room, he called his cronies and said in a low voice.

"You go and invite Yang Xuan, the governor of Jiliao, to come here, and say that there is something important to discuss, go quickly!"

"Yes, sir!"

After the cronies responded, they immediately left the place.

……

In the Governor's Palace, Yang Xuan finally counted all the heavy grain and grass transported by the imperial court.

Despite this, there was no relaxed expression on Yang Xuan's face, and he saw that he supported his chin with one hand, thinking about the intention of sending an envoy from the Tatar side.

Just as he was deep in thought, he saw a guard hurriedly enter the room and report respectfully.

"Lord Governor, Lord Shangshu sent someone to deliver a message, saying that there is something important to discuss, let you come over!"

"Well, the official knows, you go down!"

When Yang Xuan heard this, he nodded, and immediately commanded.

After the guards were ordered to leave, Yang Xuan immediately fell into hesitation: "What happened, do you need me to go over and discuss?" ”

After thinking for a while, Yang Xuan rushed to the scene with his personal guards, led by the cronies sent by Yang Bo before.

Yang Bo, who had been waiting here for a long time, hurriedly greeted him, and the two sides did not exchange too many pleasantries, only to see Yang Xuan glance at the room, and then asked.

"What the hell is going on?"

When Yang Bo heard this, he shook his head imperceptibly, and after organizing the language, he immediately told everything that had happened before.

"Here's the thing......"

After listening to Yang Bo's story, Yang Xuan couldn't help frowning, the complexity of the matter was beyond his expectations, and it could even be said that it was a foot in heaven and a foot in hell.

If the bet is right, then it is an immortal achievement, and the addition of officials to the knighthood is just around the corner, and it will not be guaranteed to be mentioned in the history books in the future.

In this way, Yang Xuan fell into hesitation, and after a long time, he saw him come back to his senses, turned his gaze to Yang Bo on the side, and was silent for a long time before he spoke.

"Let's go inside!"

"Hmm."

……

In the room, the apprehensive Amugu was quite excited about Yang Xuan's arrival, in his opinion, this was the official who had agreed to his proposal, and the next thing to do was to discuss the details of the operation.

Just when he was full of hope and wanted to discuss the specific details of the action with Yang Xuan, he was coldly interrupted by Yang Xuan.

"I hope that the official will still do it according to the method we agreed on earlier!"

"In other words, you delivered false news to Tumaihan, and we cooperated with you to set up an ambush in the surrounding area."

"As for whether to participate in the war, when to participate in the war, the specific arrangement, etc., it is up to us to decide, how, can you accept it?"

"If you can't accept it, just leave quickly, we'll see you on the battlefield!"
