Nanming Engineer

Chapter 306

After pondering for a long time, Wang Huan raised his head and told Li Dingguo about it.

"What?" Li Dingguo was taken aback, his eyes widened: "Jiang Yu, a great general of the Datong, turned out to be anyway?"

"This is not surprising." Wang Huan said lightly: "This person is capricious. First, he was the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty. He surrendered Li Zicheng and became the commander-in-chief of the Datong Dynasty. The people of the Tartars have no bottom line of integrity, so it is not surprising to do anything."

Li Dingguo thought for a while, and agreed: "Yes, Jiang Yu is indeed a villain, but this family has been a general in Shanxi for decades, with a wide range of connections and a long history. If he does anyway, it will be of great benefit to the court."

Wang Huan nodded and said: "That's true. If nothing else, at least face to face in Hanzhong. Meng Qiaofang, the governor of Shaanxi in Xi'an, is going to have a big head. Jiang Guan's military strength is more than ten times stronger than ours. We are in the west and Jiang Guan is in the east. In the middle, it's like being grilled on the fire, it's extremely uncomfortable."

Li Dingguo's mind was active, and he thought about the situation in the north in a short while, and thought of another point, and said thoughtfully: "However, Datong is close to Beizhili, and the Tartars have gathered in Jingpu. Although Jiang Yu has many troops, it is difficult to defeat The encirclement and suppression by elite soldiers from the Eight Banners of the Tartars may not last long."

Wang Huan stood up, folded the letter, put it in his pocket, and waved for the centurion to go down to rest. Yes, it was Azige and other princes and county kings. Most of the soldiers led by the Eight Banners were soldiers from the Eight Banners. We won’t just return to the dynasty, but we will also get rid of Hanzhong along the way, so that Jiang Guan’s success or failure is closely related to us.”

Standing still, Wang Huan's tone became firm, looked at the sky outside the hall, and said in a deep voice: "The three towns in the late Ming Dynasty are anyway, with turbulent winds and clouds, and disputes in a chaotic world. Procrastinate, wait until the three towns are defeated and the Tartars are free, it will be too late, we will return to Hanzhong!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Tiezhu hurried in from outside. He happened to hear the last few words and said in surprise: "Ah, sir, do you want to go back to Hanzhong?"

In front of outsiders, he is still called Mr. Wang Huan. The title of eldest brother is only used in private between the two of them.

Li Dingguo pulled him over and briefly explained what happened to Jiang Yu anyway. Xu Tiezhu suddenly realized, and hurriedly asked Wang Huan: "My lord, what should Huguang do? Shanxi is in chaos, and the Tartars are looking around. He Tengjiao and Du Yinxi are bound to die." Take some action, wait for them to sit down, if He Tengjiao never forgets the silver mine in Tubaozhai, and comes to disturb him again, how can we stop him?"

Wang Huan looked at Xu Tiezhu in surprise. He could instantly think of Huguang from the direction of Shanxi. Xu Tiezhu had indeed grown a lot by Chen Qiyu's side these days, and he had a clear view of the overall situation.

He shook his head and said with certainty: "Kuizhou Prefecture is on the border with Xiangxi. Xiangxi is now Du Yinxi's territory. He Tengjiao is like a pass across the mountain. He can't reach it with his hands. You can concentrate on training your troops and you will have your own use in the future. "

Xu Tiezhu nodded, and agreed: "Okay! Shanxi is in chaos, and the Tartars have no time to look south. This is an excellent time for the imperial court to recover the lost ground and make a comeback. The news will probably spread to Guangdong soon. Will your lord get involved?" Together with Governor Wang, he wrote a letter to ask the emperor to make an order to send all the troops of the whole country to support Shanxi. With the army together, the Tartars will be empty in the south, and they will surely be as powerful as a broken bamboo."

"The imperial court?" Wang Huan looked disdainful and snorted: "Yinxi and He Tengjiao started fighting on their own in Changsha, and you still expect them to go north together with the same enemy? Who has the ability to suppress these people as a governor? People? From governors and governors to generals, they all have selfish motives. They share the credit, and there is no one to charge into the battle. The weak soldiers and generals can only scare the people. It doesn’t matter if this memorial is not written, but Wang Yingxiong’s side You can inform me that our military sect is going to do something in Hanzhong, Tie Zhu, and I will leave it to you."

Xu Tiezhu agreed, and then said: "Are you going to go back to Shizhu first? The person Qin Taijun sent to deliver the memorial ceremony yesterday was asking, when will you go back to see the preparations for the wedding? Is it to your liking?" If you don’t like it, you can change it.”

Saying this, Xu Tiezhu and Li Dingguo both looked a little unnatural. After all, just now they were crying on Chen Qiyu's grave, and now they are talking about the happy wedding, which always feels a bit weird.

Seeing that the two people were looking at each other, Wang Huan looked away as if he was a thief. Being proposed to by a woman would be something you would be proud of and show off in later generations, but Wang Huan felt that Princess Changping came to her like this. , always a little uncomfortable.

"Well, it's too late in time. It will take two or three days to go back to Shizhu. The military situation is urgent, so I still won't go back." Wang Huan coughed and said calmly, although he knew that Princess Changping had to marry Yes, but in his heart, he still has some subconscious resistance. If he can procrastinate, he procrastinates: "I will leave this matter to you."

Wang Huan pointed to Xu Tiezhu and said, "You are responsible for explaining to the foster mother."

Li Dingguo stared at him from the side, Wang Huan caught his eye, and immediately turned his head to look to the other side as if he didn't see it.

Xu Tiezhu's body froze. He had known Wang Huan's thoughts for a long time, and he said a little dumbfounded: "But, my lord, Her Royal Highness Princess Changping is waiting at the stone pillar, waiting to marry you. It's inappropriate for you to leave like this. Right? Violating court etiquette is a serious crime."

Li Dingguo glanced at Xu Tiezhu and sighed secretly.

It's over, the reason why Wang Huan hates this marriage is not because she hates Princess Changping, but because she is dissatisfied with the imperial court's oppression, and was used by the emperor through marriage. Now that Xu Tiezhu raised the imperial court etiquette, didn't he offend Wang Huan?
Sure enough, Wang Huanru jumped up like a cat whose tail was caught, and roared viciously: "Fuck etiquette! It's none of my business. I gave up the love of my children for the sake of the country and the country. What an honor. Those sour scholars dare Use this to punish the crime, let them come, and see if I am afraid!"

He roared out of embarrassment, like a shrew who scolded the street. It was the first time that Li Dingguo and Xu Tiezhu saw the appearance of Wang Huan, who had always been calm and calm. They froze in place, dumbfounded.

After venting, Wang Huan calmed down. Once his feverish mind cleared up, he immediately regretted it.

Looking awkwardly at the two people who seemed to be looking at a monkey, Wang Huan said with a straight face: "It's not that I won't go back, the military situation is really urgent, uh, urgent."

He pretended to take two steps in the hall and wanted to go out, but turned back, took off the sword from his waist, handed it to Xu Tiezhu and said: "This is the sword I carry with me. It has never left me. You can hand it over to Xu Tiezhu." Princess, I just want to say that I have military affairs to serve my country and my family, so I can only put aside my personal affairs for the time being and ask her to take care of me. The sword by her side is like a person by your side, the same, the same."

Xu Tiezhu took the sword, raised his head with complex eyebrows and said: "Master, if you do this, you can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever."

Wang Huan sternly said again: "Don't talk so much, just do what you want. I'm not here, and Kuizhou will be handed over to you. Be diligent and don't slack off!"

After all, he ran out the door as if fleeing.

Li Dingguo and Xu Tiezhu were left in the hall, looking at each other.

Li Dingguo smiled wryly, and was about to say something to Xu Tiezhu, when Wang Huan yelled as if his butt was on fire outside, calling Li Dingguo to leave quickly.

Li Dingguo shook his head helplessly, bowed his hands to Xu Tiezhu, turned around and chased him out.
