"By the way, Old Master Xu, I remember that you had prepared before, and you also sent a team of people to southern Xinjiang, I don't know where you learned about this news?" Zhang Yue looked at Old Man Xu curiously.

A trace of annoyance flashed in Old Man Xu's eyes, he glanced at Zhang Yue, slandered in his heart, and said, if you hadn't stopped us, we wouldn't have to be so anxious now! Of course, that can't be said.

"Lord Zhang, in fact, it was Lord Qincha who reminded me before, but I can't be sure whether it is true or not, so I suggested to Lord Zhang to pay close attention to the situation in various parts of southern Xinjiang, and now it has been proved that Lord Qincha's judgment is indeed correct! Regret not being at the beginning! Although Old Man Xu was annoyed in his words, his eyes looked at Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue's face changed a little, after all, it was really he who didn't listen to Old Master Xu and was vigilant, which led to such an embarrassing situation now. Now that Old Man Xu says two strange words, he can't blame others, after all, he is wrong!

"The old man said that he was joking, this fact is the fault of the official!" Zhang Yue is also a person who can afford to let go, and he bowed his hand to Old Man Xu and admitted his mistake!

A hint of appreciation flashed in Old Man Xu's eyes, after all, not to mention Zhang Yue's official position, even if he is older, he is older than us! Virtue and respect are not jokes, not to mention, this Zhang Yue is a jinshi of Tianshun year, along the way, although the road to officialdom has a slight twist and turn, but it is also an old oilman who has been in officialdom for a long time, and now he actually bows his head, it is not easy!

He didn't dare to go too far, and hurriedly smiled, "Lord Zhang's words are wrong, and I also complain about this matter!" If we had persisted a little longer, maybe we wouldn't have made this mistake! ”

The sedan chair carried people, and the two of them admitted their mistakes, indicating that this section had passed, and the next thing was to discuss how to deal with it, that is, Zhang Yue asked Old Man Xu about the response just now!

Old man Xu was not hypocritical, glanced at the map, looked back at Zhang Yue, and said, "Don't hide it from Lord Zhang, in fact, Xu has reached a tacit understanding with Lord Qincha, and sent some private soldiers from the Guogong Mansion to follow Lord Qincha's side, and also sent spies to always pay attention to the whereabouts of those thieves, and verify each other with the news of Lord Qincha in Yunnan, so I came to a conclusion." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Yue, and then at the officials around him, looking a little embarrassed.

Zhang Yue suddenly realized in an instant, this is a confidential matter, and he can't say it in front of so many people, so he hurriedly raised his hand to signal.

First, the officers of the Ministry of War retreated.

After a while, there were only four people left in this hall, Zhang Yue, Old Man Xu and two waiters.

"Old Guogong, if you have something to say, it's okay to talk about it!" Zhang Yue said with a solemn face.

"Actually, I have already reached a consensus with Lord Chincha, and Lord Chincha has recently sent a letter back." Seeing this, Old Man Xu nodded with satisfaction and continued his previous words.

As he spoke, he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue was stunned, but then reacted, took the letter, and took a look.

"Old man Taijian: When Wang was in Yunnan for disaster relief, he found that the combat power of the Maitreya Society personnel was too inconsistent with their performance, and he had doubts in his heart, and this time, the chaos in southern Xinjiang was too weird, so I think that the Maitreya Society has a bigger conspiracy, so please also ask the old man to make sure that the Nanjing Imperial Court attaches great importance to this and thoroughly investigates this matter!"

"This?" After reading it, Zhang Yue was stunned for a while, he didn't know about this situation in this central place, but he knew about it in Yunnan Province? What a dereliction of duty! He couldn't help but feel a fever on his face.

"Yes, this is exactly what I agree with Lord Qincha, if the Maitreya thieves and thieves are for the sake of Yunnan Province, but they have exposed all the arrangements in southern Xinjiang, aren't they afraid that after this exposure, they will be taken down by the imperial court in one fell swoop? The province of Yunnan alone was not enough to make such a sacrifice! Therefore, they must have a greater conspiracy, but what is this conspiracy? I couldn't have imagined it! Old man Xu explained to Zhang Yue while thinking.

Zhang Yue nodded thoughtfully, expressing approval.

"Therefore, now, our main task is to immediately use all the forces at our disposal to ascertain the true intentions of the Maitreya Society; The second is to ensure the stability of the situation in various places and prevent the conspiracy of the Maitreya Society from succeeding. Old man Xu made a judgment.

"Hmm!" Zhang Yue nodded slightly.

"Old man, you said earlier that you have made arrangements with Lord Qincha, what is it? How does it help us? "Finally, there was a squire who couldn't take it anymore.

Zhang Yue and Old Master Xu glanced at him strangely, and then glanced at each other.

"Yes, we must immediately make all kinds of preparations to deal with the bigger conspiracy of the thieves!" Another squire also suggested.

Old Master Xu smiled, "Isn't this being considered now?" ”

The two squires were stunned.

"Alright, stop teasing them!" Zhang Yue spoke.

Old Master Xu smiled dumbly and said no more.

The two waiters looked at each other, a little crying and laughing in their hearts, I didn't expect that at such a time, Old Man Xu was still in the mood to tease us, it was true! The two couldn't help but be speechless.

"Okay, you first tell me about your plan with Lord Qincha, let's discuss it and deploy it!" Zhang Yue glanced at Old Man Xu and blamed him.

Old man Xu understood that the matter was important, nodded his head, and stopped saying these digressions and doing these off-topic things.

So everyone came to the table with a grimace.

Suddenly, the four people in the room gathered together, looking at the map on the table, carefully studying and discussing.

While the Nanjing Military Department was studying the situation in southern Xinjiang and its response, Wang Shouren finally led the anti-rebellion army formed by the Qincha Guards to Dingyuan County, Chuxiong Prefecture (now Muding County, Yunnan Province) in Yunnan Province.

Chuxiong Mansion, Ming Taizu Hongwu 15 years (1382) changed Yuanwei Chukai South Road to Chuxiong Mansion. Weichu County was renamed Chuxiong County (in present-day Chuxiong City, Yunnan Province).

Chuxiong (the county is in present-day Chuxiong City, Yunnan Province), Dingyuan (now Muding County, Yunnan Province), Guangtong (the county is in Guangtong Town, Lufeng County, Yunnan Province), and Dayao (now Dayao County, Yunnan Province), a total of 4 counties; Zhennan (prefecture in present-day Nanhua County, Yunnan Province), Nan'an (prefecture in present-day Shuangbai County, Yunnan Province), and Yao (prefecture in present-day Yao'an County, Yunnan Province) were a total of 3 scattered prefectures. The jurisdiction is similar to the current Yunnan Nanhua, Muding, Chuxiong, Shuangbai, Nanjian and other counties.

At the same time, Mu Kun, the prince of Mu, also led the Mu family army to Zhennan Prefecture in Chuxiong Mansion.

Of course, at this point, everyone has already passed the message among the scouts, that is, they are about to join the division, and they know to each other that the battle between these two places is the last battle before they will be divided.

Although it is not yet known where the main force led by the special envoy of the Maitreya Society is at this time, but now that they have fought here, it can be regarded as having a clear understanding of their strength, and only after this meeting, they will discuss the future behavior, or the focus of the future suppression.

Having said that, the purpose is also quite equal, but the two armies are riveting to get a point of superiority.

As a result, the two armies launched a fierce attack on the two cities.

Although the two armies were equally heroic and invincible, however, after all, it was the Pingchao army of the Qincha Guards who had sharp weapons and had obvious advantages in siege, so they took the lead and occupied Dingyuan County.

Of course, the Chincha Guard's counterinsurgency army was still as strong as ever.

Wang Shouren and Ming Zhongxin stood behind the army, watching this siege battle, the sound of rumbling in the city was endless, looking at the Qincha Pingchao banner that had been erected at the head of the city, the two looked at each other and smiled, it seems that this time it is going to be a smooth meeting.

"Lian Li, you unconscionable guy! It's hard to die! Suddenly, there was a shout of anger from the top of the city, and the voice was full of anger, and the indignation in it was palpable.

This shout was followed by a scream, and a figure fell down the wall.

"Lian Li! I hate it so much! The figure shouted in the air with hatred.

Lian Li? Wang Ming and the two were puzzled for a while, and glanced at each other, who is this guy? How can the people of this city be so resentful?

However, just after this angry shout, Mingzhong's confidence suddenly palpitated, his face turned pale, and he immediately turned his horse close to Wang Shouren, his left hand grasped the reins, his right hand rested on the blade of his waist, and his eyes looked around.

"What? Master? Wang Shouren was shocked when he saw Ming Zhongxin's situation.

"My lord, run!" Ming Zhongxin's eyes flashed, he screamed, and then the cold light flashed, and a stream of blood spilled into the air.

Booming, Wang Shouren's horses shouted wildly in the sky, and galloped away.

But it turned out that the cold light was the steel knife in Ming Zhongxin's hand, and the horse's buttocks were cut by him, and the pain was naturally unbearable, and he screamed and galloped away.

Wang Shouren couldn't reach it, his hands clutched the reins, he didn't dare to loosen it a little, and he didn't have time to ask what happened, so he was taken away and fled into the distance.

At the same time, a whoosh, a rain of arrows shot towards the place where they had just stood, and at this time, there was only Ming Zhongxin in the same place.

Ming Zhongxin waved his blade, trying to block, but because he swung his knife to cut the horse, he reacted a step slower, and with a bang, his face turned pale, and an arrow was inserted into his right arm, although the steel knife in his hand never took off his hand, but it hung down weakly, and he was no longer able to lift it.

At this moment, he felt that his body had fallen, and he jumped to the side, but the horses under him had fallen to the ground, twitching, and he was about to choke.

Suddenly, Ming Zhongxin couldn't control his body at all, a donkey rolled, turned over and stood up, but he was also a little discouraged.

Whoosh, no time for people to react at all, another rain of arrows came from the sky, Ming Zhongxin's eyes flashed coldly, blocking left and right, but it was inevitable that he was hit by a few more arrows.

At this moment, there was a burst of dust, and a group of people with swords suddenly appeared around, silently rushing towards Ming Zhongxin.

But it turned out that there was a team of people in ambush here, and there were quite a few of them, there were nearly 100 of them, and they were hiding underground before.

At this time, Ming Zhongxin wanted to run again, but it was hopeless. Just because, there are enemies on all sides.

Along with these attackers, the arrows rained down on Ming Zhongxin.

There was a sound of breaking drinking, and a group of sergeants rushed around Ming Zhongxin, blocking the arrows for him. Ming Zhongxin breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the attackers.

At this time, the sergeants also rushed forward and engaged the attackers in close combat.

However, this group of people was so brave that they didn't care about the slashing of the sergeants, they didn't look at the blades, they just dodged the vital point, and then slashed the knives at the sergeants who fought against him, exchanging injuries for lives, which can really be described as a death and death with a single sword.

And those injured attackers, regardless of their own injuries, are still so desperate, bravely striving for the first, the goal is very clear, and it is clear that they are coming for Ming Zhongxin.

Dead soldiers! A trace of fear flashed in the eyes of the sergeants, they had heard that Ming Zhongxin had suffered a surprise attack before, but they had never believed it, after all, Ming Zhongxin was just a master, and who was so desperate to target him, and now, in front of the situation, they knew that this Ming master had really provoked a ruthless person, and he wanted his life without caring about life or death.

I wanted to escape, but I didn't dare, just because, if the main general was here, they would not go to the battlefield to bear this protective duty, and they should have protected the commander.

Miserable! Let's fight!

However, since people are deliberately trying to kill Ming Zhongxin, how can they be repelled so easily?

So, a life-and-death struggle began, the sergeants marched forward bravely, the dead soldiers were not afraid of life and death, the two collided with each other, and the swords of the dead soldiers saw blood, and in a moment, the sergeants slacked death.

Bang, there was a bang, and a dead man turned over and fell.

Everyone was startled and looked at the place where the sound came from, only to see Ming Zhongxin standing on the ground, with something in his hand emitting light smoke.

But it turned out that at this time, Ming Zhongxin had already taken away the arrow in his arm, and although he was sweating in pain, he had simply bandaged it. In his hand, however, he held a two-rod short gun, emitting light smoke.

Bang, bang, the sound exploded, and one by one the dead men turned over and fell, unable to stand up again.

Kill! The dead soldiers finally changed color, but they were still fearless, charging forward, straight to Ming Zhongxin.

Ming Zhongxin finally changed color, his hands trembled unconsciously, and the tightly wrapped cloth gradually oozing bloodstains, although he had a good medicine for wounds, but because of the recoil and concussion of the short gun, the wound that had just been bandaged burst out again, not to mention, at this time, he was unable to bandage it well, naturally blood was bursting out, and even more, his hands were already trembling, and if he shot a few more times, he was afraid that he would no longer be able to fight.

Obviously, the dead soldiers understood this truth, so they rushed to kill Xiang Ming Zhongxin.

At this time, Wang Shouren, who was carried by horses and ran into the distance, had already reined in the reins and waved his hand to order the sergeants to rush here to rescue Ming Zhongxin.
