Yuan Zonghao quickly rushed to Xi'an Mansion with people, and heard that Cheng Xiaolian was going to lead the cavalry to raid Datong Mansion, and immediately stood up: "Your Highness, you have grown up, you can make your own decisions about this kind of thing, I only want to say one word, all the hopes of our Ming Dynasty now are on you, you have to think twice about what you do, and you must not be whimsical." ”

Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "Don't worry, I have the bottom in my heart, and I still have Wang Jiyong and Yang Youcai by my side, the two of them have brocade guards to take care of everywhere, and the other is more familiar with the road, and after so many years of cavalry, even if you can't win, you can't lose." ”

Yuan Zonghao nodded: "Since this is the case, I will no longer advise, I only hope that His Highness will succeed immediately." His Royal Highness does not have to worry about the situation in Shaanxi, and His Royal Highness Daniel Zhang in Ningxia can rest assured, if he does his best, it is fine, if he dares to have different intentions, His Highness does not have to worry about the back road. ”

The army prepared its armament in Xi'an, and it took two or three days to familiarize those cavalry with the palm mines, and then the army rushed towards the Hetao.

This time, the long-distance attack, the siege war is basically impossible to fight, even if it is estimated that it is too late to make the siege equipment in Datong Mansion, so you can only rely on the palm thunder and the unexpected fighter to see if you can take advantage.

Although Yuan Zonghao brought many people to Xi'an Mansion, they did not have much help for Cheng Xiaolian, these people staying in Xi'an Mansion could deter Daniel Zhang and stabilize the situation in Tongguan, so Wang Jiyong gathered together five thousand cavalry, and these people stepped into the land of Ningxia with Cheng Xiaolian.

Daniel Zhang had already returned to Daming, and Cheng Xiaolian naturally couldn't do anything behind him, so he told him the news in advance.

Daniel Zhang's first reaction when he heard the news was to change the place by himself, once Cheng Xiaolian led people into the grassland, Ningxia would be the closest rear to them, whether it was grain and grass supply or reinforcements, it was the most suitable place, so Daniel Zhang felt that such an important place must be guarded by a trustworthy person.

It's just that I didn't expect that when Cheng Xiaolian's army entered the land of Ningxia, there was no news of changing guards, at this time Daniel Zhang muttered in his heart, he didn't think that he could make Cheng Xiaolian trust to such a point, if Cheng Xiaolian didn't change generals, would he kill him?

As soon as he thought of this thought, Daniel Zhang immediately began to hesitate, to be honest, since he returned to Daming, he has lived better than expected, and has begun to gradually have a sense of belonging, at this time Cheng Xiaolian wants to take him under the knife, although it is somewhat unexpected, but according to the current situation, it can only be like this.

With this in mind, there is the question of whether to fight back or sit idly by. If he sits still and waits to die, his head will definitely not be saved, and his family may not be able to stay alive, but if the Jedi fight back, his reputation will be over, and if he turns against the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, and spreads it, won't he become Wu Sangui's second?

Moreover, when Wu Sangui led the Qing soldiers into the customs, he still played the banner of avenging Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, and he turned back and forth like this, no matter which side he went to, it was estimated that he would not be able to die.

Thinking of this, Daniel Zhang smiled bitterly: "The sky wants to destroy me, just let me Daniel Zhang have eyes without beads." Then he waited for death to come in Lingzhou City.

When Cheng Xiaolian arrived in Lingzhou, he saw this scene: "I said Daniel Zhang, I heard that you have not dealt with political affairs in the past few days, is it because you are sick?" The army passed by, and I came to see you. ”

The corners of Daniel Zhang's mouth showed a hint of disdainful ridicule: "Your Highness is afraid that if you don't pass by, you have to come and see me, right?" If you want to do it, I only ask for one thing, and I have no credit these days, which can be regarded as some hard work, just ask His Highness to spare my family. ”

When he said this, Cheng Xiaolian was stunned: "What are you talking about?" ”

"Didn't Your Highness come this time just to take my head?"

"What kind of mess, I'm not asking someone to talk to you, I'm going to take a trip to the Hetao and borrow Ningxia."

"Your Highness is going to go on an expedition, so naturally you must have a stable rear, do you think I want to be a stable rear?"

"Of course, if you General Zhang is not stable, who can stabilize the situation, see for yourself what your army is messed up with, if you don't handle it well within ten days, there will naturally be General Yuan to settle accounts with you, I'll leave, you show me the rear, let me tell you, although I trust you, but it's not without a backhand, if you do something rebellious, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Only then did Daniel Zhang understand a little: "Your Highness, do you mean that I will continue to guard Ningxia?" ”

"! If you don't guard Ningxia, do you want me to guard it? I'm gone, remember, show Lao Tzu the back road, if the back road is broken, your life will be gone! ”

Although he didn't respect Daniel Zhang very much, Daniel Zhang didn't care about this for a long time, and his heart immediately rushed from hell to the clouds, and he didn't expect that His Highness really handed over the job of guarding the back road to himself. Although this is not a great feat, and you may be severely punished for not doing a good job, but these are relatively nothing.

Because from today on, Daniel Zhang is His Royal Highness's henchman, and he is no longer a Manchu general, this Chinese have liked to be born as a general since ancient times, and the army is not exempt from vulgarity, the ability of individuals in the army is not too important, who is the red talent in front of His Highness is important, otherwise the grain and grass will be a matter of stretching your hand for two or three days, and there is no way to sue, and there is no grain and grass in the army, and the prestige of this general will plummet.

Although Daming is now thriving, there are Jinyi guards in the army who secretly report the situation at any time, but there is no shortage of food, but Daniel Zhang is used to the Manchu Qing side, otherwise he would not have contacted Mo Luo to suppress the king in the first place! Auxiliary ministers. He always feels that this identity is awkward now, and now His Highness is relieved to hand over the back road to him, which is to promote him, and this errand must be done even if he is desperate.

Wang Jiyong did not enter the mansion with Cheng Xiaolian, anyway, he and Daniel Zhang have a feud against his father, and now for the sake of the overall situation, he can act as if nothing has happened, but let him and Daniel Zhang shush and ask him warmly, he can't do it, if he does, the soldiers in the army will also look down on him.

Cheng Xiaolian glanced at Wang Jiyong, who was iron-faced, and smiled bitterly: "I said General Wang, don't be bitter, your father and he were their own masters, and they fought and died openly, which is not a grudge, and now we have handed over our backs to him, we are colleagues in the army, and we are not allowed to black hands on our comrades on the battlefield." ”

Wang Jiyong didn't want to swallow this breath, but Shao Lingzhi had already told him before he came, if he took revenge, there would be opportunities in the future, but he had to wait until the Ming Dynasty was stable, and now if he took revenge, he would offend His Royal Highness to death, and the Wang family would have no future.
