I, Zhu Youjian: the first prodigal son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 171
Looking at the back of Mao Yuanyi going away, Sun Chengzong's face was gloomy, and he stood under the city gate for a long time before returning to the Guancheng government office.

'Rush to help Jizhou Town, Datong Town, Yulin Town...'

"Jiannu is in Shanhaiguan, but it's a feint to attack, don't pay attention to it?" '

Sun Chengzong stood in front of a huge map, hesitating, feeling very suspicious.

This Mao Yuanyi only brought a piece of bright yellow silk, even if it was stamped with the emperor's seal, how could he trust it without a few words of 'imperial decree'?
"Come here, urgently summon Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang to see you!"

Sun Chengzong waited for a day and a night, but Zu Dashou did not come.

Wu Xiang didn't come either.

Sun Chengzong was angry, but he was helpless.

They replied, Zu Dashou went to defend the city on the front line of Daling River; Wu Xiang, as the general soldier of Liaodong, was mobilizing troops and horses on the front line of Liaodong Town, preparing for a 'fight to the death' with the Jiannu heavy cavalry.

Will be outside, the king's life will not be affected.

What's more, the war is imminent, and he is desperately fighting on the front line. He, the governor of Jiliao, can't blame the two most capable subordinates, can he?

Then, let's continue building the castle fortress...

……

At the same time, outside Shanhaiguan, in some military towns in the Liaoxi Corridor, all the defenders of the Ming Dynasty stood ready to prevent the sudden attack of Jiannu cavalry.

Because Jiannu passed through Chahar, Yongshao, and Duoyan, the entire Liaoxi Corridor spanned hundreds of miles and became the front line in an instant.

Every attack of the slave cavalry is tentative.

Anyway, the defenders of the Ming Dynasty did not dare to fight with them, they could only hide behind the battlement parapet, and they would never take the initiative to fight.

Therefore, Jiannu's attack was very powerful. He found a city at random and fired a few shots at the city gate. A team of thousands of people flaunted their power outside the city built by Daming before leaving. .

For a while, there was a feeling of black clouds overwhelming the city.

The defenders of the Ming Dynasty are in danger.

But in the General Military Mansion of Liaodong Town, Zu Dashou, Wu Xiang, and Zu Dale seemed a little relaxed.

Thunder, little rain.

The feigned attack in the Liaoxi Corridor was actually just a distraction, and the target of the attack was the Great Wall of Yulin Town and Datong Mansion. This was the preliminary judgment of several general soldiers.

These few people are all sensible people, and they know the details of Jiannu very well.

The rumored 20 cavalry is actually less than [-].

What's more, the idiot emperor Zhu You has been tested twice and suffered two big defeats in a row. The elite who can be drawn out to fight tough battles is estimated to be no more than [-] people, which is nothing to worry about.

In the General Army's Mansion, singing and dancing were carried out, and wine and wine were intertwined.

"Uncle, Jianu has already been beaten and disabled, why do you have to make such a fuss?" During the banquet, Wu Xiang, who was sitting at the bottom left, picked up his wine glass and asked with a smile to his brother-in-law who was sitting in the middle about his birthday:
"Could it be that they lost their minds and went crazy?"

Zu Dashou smiled and said nothing.

"Uncle, if all the best of the Jiannu are out, if we take down Datong and Yulin, and march south with the northern barbarian cavalry, can we attack his lair and stab him a few times?"

Sitting next to Wu Xiang was a young man of seventeen or eighteen, full of heroism, but he was Wu Sangui, the son of Wu Xiang, the general soldier of Jinzhou.

Right now, he is just a small commander and guerrilla general.

"Bullshit!"

Wu Xiang glared at his son Wu Sangui, stood up, poured a glass of wine for his brother-in-law, Zu Dashou, and said with a smile, "Everything must be obeyed by your uncle.

Marching and fighting is not about eating meat and drinking, so how can you take chances?
Uncle, do you think so? "

Zu Dashou took a sip of wine, waved his hands, and said with a smile, "Sangui's words are very reasonable. Jiannu's eyes are empty, and it's really a god-sent opportunity."

"However, Jianu has always been cunning, maybe he set up a pocket formation for us, just waiting for us to drill into it."

"Wait and see."

"When necessary, it is still possible to light a fire behind them and restrain them."

Wu Xiang nodded again and again, bowed and said: "Uncle uses soldiers like a god, Wu Xiang, Wu Sangui and his son, only Uncle follows the lead!"

"If a family doesn't talk about two families, let's not say a few polite words." Zu Dashou was in a good mood, picked up his glass and drank it down, and said with a smile: "Sangui is good, both civil and military, young people are aggressive, this is Good thing."

Immediately, his face gradually darkened.

"It's just hateful, the imperial court is incompetent, the idiot emperor credulously trusts the treacherous Wei Zhongxian, builds large-scale construction projects, wastes people's money, and what little money and food is not used to strengthen the defense of the nine borders, but to build some shit railway!
It's just ridiculous! "

Seeing that the wine glass of brother-in-law Zu Dashou was empty, Wu Xiang quickly got up and filled it again, and said with a smile: "Uncle, calm down, calm down, anyway, this Ming Dynasty belongs to his old Zhu's family, so he can do whatever he wants Bar."

"Hmph!" Zu Dashou snorted coldly, and said with hatred: "Who said this world belongs to his old Zhu family?"

"Without the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Liaoxi who fought to the death, the Jiannu iron cavalry would have gone all the way south, approaching the land of the capital."

"The idiot emperor reused Sun Chengzong. He only built the city and repaired it. It was a waste of money and food. He was not like Yuan Chonghuan when he was Marshal Yuan. He was so heroic and proud.

The two great victories in Ning and Jin are enough to prove that our Liaoxi defenders can completely compete with the Jiannu Iron Cavalry..."

Zu Dashou took a sip of wine, scolded the imperial court for being incompetent, and then scolded the idiot emperor.

Obviously, he was already a little drunk.

Wu Xiang, Zu Dale, Wu Sangui and the others could only smile apologetically and nod their heads in agreement.

The double payment promised by the imperial court lasted less than half a year, and it was delayed for various reasons.

Especially the grain, which has not been delivered for several months.

On the contrary, there are a lot of bullshit gold and silver coins promoted by the idiot emperor, but they are not used at all in Liaodong.

The big guys do business with Jiannu, Goryeo, Japanese, etc., and they don't recognize your Daming national currency. It has always been an exchange of gold and silver, or even an exchange in kind.

"Uncle, a few days ago, there... people came to Liaodong Town again."

When Zu Dashou finished vomiting the anger in his chest, Wu Xiang smiled without losing the opportunity: "The Emperor Jiannugou thinks highly of our Liaoxi generals, and from time to time he sends people some mountain goods, gold and silver things. It seems that they have recently Grain and copper and iron."

Zu Dashou nodded slightly, but remained silent.

The several major military towns in the West Liao Corridor are not only military towns, but also good places for trade. A large part of the food and clothing of hundreds of thousands of troops is earned from business.

Today, with the reappearance of border weapons, life is hard for everyone.

"Brother-in-law, it's better not to communicate too frequently with Jiannu Mang Gurtai, and those Baylors and Beizis recently," Zu Dashou pondered a few times before saying:
"What the idiot emperor hates the most is that those of us who lead the army support the bandits."

"A few days ago, two major cases were related to border trade. The eight major Shanxi merchants lost all their lives. A large number of vassal kings and high-ranking officials were killed. We don't need to deal with this bad luck."

"Right now, the idiot emperor still relies on us.

So, he didn't dare to tell us what to do, but once Jiannu is completely beaten to the ground, I'm afraid life will be difficult for you and me. "

Wu Xiang and others nodded and said yes.

"The business that should be done, just do it quietly," Zu Dashou continued: "However, the battle that should be fought, just show it."

"Jiannu was beaten to the ground, and the idiot emperor freed up his hands. The first one to deal with is probably our Liaoxi general."

"And that dog thief, Liaodong Mao Wenlong!"
