Although Xu He said this, he just pretended to say it to Xinghu, and in fact, he couldn't be sure.

All judgments are based on his knowledge of the situation.

It has been more than ten days since the Tatars entered the Koukou.

These days, they have robbed and robbed, killed and killed, if my mind is clear enough, he should know that reinforcements will continue to come to Beijing.

When the time comes, he will have to shed his skin even if he wants to leave, not to mention, he only brought less than 20,000 people into the customs.

In fact, Xu He had already noticed that there was something strange about my recent behavior.

After coming into contact with Mao Bao, he knew better than anyone how many Cao soldiers there were in Tongzhou.

But obviously a large amount of grain was placed in Tongzhou, but the Tatars never took it down, which can only show that the Tatars wanted to fish.

As for who was fishing, Xu He guessed at first that it was Beijing.

The Tatars wanted to fish out the three battalions of soldiers and horses in the Beijing division and annihilate them, and finally break through Beijing in one fell swoop, so as to be cool and thorough.

But gradually he realized that something seemed to be wrong.

According to the Wei army spies who came back to report that the Beijing division had no intention of sending troops at all, but the Tatars became more and more advanced, and even made the drama of "flooding the Seventh Army".

"Isn't this aimed at Jingshi?" Xu He was puzzled at that time.

But is it against Jingshi, and what are they for?

It was only just now that it dawned on him that the Tatars' target seemed to be himself.

Otherwise, why would the other party deliberately abandon Tongzhou and attack Zhangjiawan in the south?

Xu He was stunned when he thought of this, what reason did he have for me to send troops?

At this moment, in the Tatar army, Zhao Quan asked very puzzled: "Wanhu, why do you have to fight Xu He, this guy is just a white-faced scholar, the emperor's favorite minister, let's rob it and rob it, the whole north is in chaos at the moment, when will you wait if you don't withdraw from the customs?" ”

As soon as Zhao Quan's voice fell, all the Tatar generals in the tent looked at me.

I sat on the chair at the top and looked at Zhao Quandao: "Zhao Bansheng, let's compare Wei Ting and these people to a flock of sheep, and there is nothing to eat on the grassland, so they will enter the customs to slaughter the sheep." ”

"But one day, among the sheep, suddenly there was a sheep, and he had a group of dogs to guard against us, do you think I should slaughter this sheep with only ideas?"

Zhao Quan was stunned when he heard this: "You mean those Jurchens." ”

I replied and sneered: "It's not all because of those Jurchens, Xu He is very interesting, I have heard a lot of his stories, I also admire him, if he is willing to go out with me, I can treat him as a guest, if not, then it is better to get rid of him as soon as possible." ”

Speaking of this, I sighed: "It's a pity, smart people emerge like needles everywhere, and our Tatar warriors can't take down that group of Cao soldiers even after so many deaths and injuries!" ”

Hearing this, all the Tatar generals in the tent bowed their heads.

Zhao Quan did not have the shame of the Tatars, he suddenly came back to his senses after listening to my answer, Xu He also brought trouble to the "imperial court", and the coastal defense battalion even uprooted the foundation of the Luo religion in Nanzhi, if Xu He could be eliminated by the hands of the Tatars, wouldn't it be a great achievement?

Thinking of this, he just wanted to speak, but I replied to the general in the account: "Leave 2,000 people to watch Xu He, and the rest will wait for the rest to return to Tongzhou and empty the grain in Tongzhou, and we will withdraw to Guanwai." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Quan was taken aback: "Wanhu, why don't you fight, those people under Xu He, as long as they work harder, they will be gone!" ”

I squinted at Zhao Quan, as if he wanted to see through Zhao Quan's careful thoughts, but he finally smiled and said, "The dog guarding the sheep is now gone, let's take the other sheep back to the grassland!" ”

Zhao Quan still wanted to persuade him again, but I didn't give him a chance to speak at all, so he lazily leaned back in his chair and waved his horsewhip, and ended today's meeting.

Soon, news of the withdrawal of the Tatars reached the ship.

Xing Hu looked at Xu He's back with admiration.

At this time, Xu He said with a calm face: "I want to leave, but we can't let them go so easily." ”

Speaking of this, he turned his head and explained a few words to Xinghu, who looked at him with wide eyes after listening.

Xu He looked at Xinghu: "Is there a problem?" ”

Xinghu hurriedly shook his head and said, "I'll go now!" ”

Then, he looked at Mao Bao and Li Lin, who were wrapped in zongzi, and said: "Get off the boat, three lucky boats go to Tongzhou, although it won't bring me any big trouble, but it's okay to harass me for a while." ”

By the next day, the 2,000 Tatar cavalry monitoring Zhangjiawan were still stationed far away, apparently not wanting Xu He and them to ruin the process of attacking Tongzhou.

But in the afternoon, the cavalry hastily withdrew.

Mao Bao thought that Tongzhou was beaten down.

But who knew that it was the soldiers and horses of the Shandong Dusi who arrived.

With the entry of Shandong soldiers into the battlefield, the soldiers and horses in Xu He's hands suddenly expanded to more than 30,000, and he no longer had to worry about being afraid.

Moreover, the good news kept coming, and I Da, who was besieging Tongzhou, for some reason, hurriedly retreated to the northeast with his subordinates when Tongzhou was about to fall.

Mao Bao said worriedly: "What kind of moth is this answer, won't you go to besiege Jingshi again?" ”

Xu He shook his head: "Now everyone knows the roots, when he goes to Beijing, he can go directly to the east bypassing Tongzhou, there is no need to go northeast, and then turn back to the south." ”

He had some speculations in his heart, but he wouldn't announce them in front of everyone until he confirmed it.

Since the Tatars had withdrawn, Xu He did not talk nonsense, and set off towards Tongzhou with the remnants of the Cao army and the soldiers and horses of Shandong.

As soon as he arrived at the city of Tongzhou, Guan Dayao saw the blue-background banner of Xu, the commander of Jingwei, from a distance, and was so excited that tears almost fell.

He had already learned from the Cao soldiers on the Fu boat that it was Xu He who led people to relieve him from the siege.

The Tatars had just retreated, and his own people came, and he was closer than he saw his mother, and he was busy letting people open the city gates.

When the bearded Guan Dayao crawled out of Tongzhou City, he saw Xu He on the horse, and he hugged Xu He's thigh and cried "Woo Yinyin".

"Horse, horse, I will give you a lifetime of saddle before and after the horse, and in the next life, I will repay the horse with a grass ring!"

The fur jacket on the car on the side was itchy when he saw this, and the soldiers he brought saved his subordinates, but in the end, Xu He became a great benefactor.

"Guan Dayao!" Mao Bao shouted, who knew that he didn't pay attention to the wound, and he grinned in pain.

Guan Dayao turned his head and saw that a humanoid zongzi actually called his name, and the familiar voice ......, it doesn't matter, the horse is a benefactor.

"General Guan, why don't you go to see your family's general soldiers?" Xu He smiled slightly and turned his head to look at the "zongzi".

"Huh? General soldiers? Guan Dayao stumbled and almost didn't stand firm......

"Master Hou, Master Hou, what's wrong with you? Master Hou was injured like this in order to save me? I will give you a lifetime of saddle before and after the horse, and in the next life, I will repay the Hou Ye with a grass title ring!! ”

Xu He: "......"
