"It's been three days since Tian Liu disappeared?" After Guo Rong heard the report, he immediately stood up from his seat, his brows quickly wrinkled into a deep Sichuan character, and a rather bad thought had surfaced in his heart. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although Tian Liu's position in the army is not high, he has always been Guo Rong's confidant, and many things that are inconvenient for Guo Zongbing to do in person are all done by him, and this person really knows too much about Guo Rong's secrets.

Originally, it was easy for such a general in the army to be vigilant if he did not show up for a few days, but because Guo Rong always asked him to do some unsightly things, he would always not see him for no reason, and others were used to it. So it wasn't until he didn't hear from him for three days that someone realized that the situation was wrong and rushed to Guo Rong.

Guo Rong had only walked around the room twice, and he had already made a judgment in his heart: "Isn't it the hand of Jinyiwei's people?" He was really jealous of Yang Zhen's methods. Then, he said: "Let's go, go to Qincha Xingyuan to say goodbye." Naturally, he was going to probe the mouth.

It's strange to say, it's been five or six days since Yang Zhen arrived in Datong, but he hasn't moved at all, as if he just came to Datong to play. However, Guo Rong didn't believe this, he knew Yang Zhen's way of acting, and felt that maybe he had sent someone to Weifu for a private visit. For this reason, Guo Zongbing has worked hard among the people to minimize those unfavorable statements to himself.

didn't expect Yang Zhen to act so quickly this time, and actually attacked his henchmen, how could Guo Rong face it calmly?

Soon, Guo Rong came to Qinchaxingyuan, for his arrival, in fact, Yang Zhen had already expected, without too much hesitation, he invited him in. After some greetings and gossip, Guo Rongcai said tentatively: "Judging from the will of Lord Yang, it seems that you are here to rectify the discipline in the army, but it has been five or six days, why haven't you seen a few adults take action?" ”

Yang Zhen glanced at the other party and smiled: "What, General Guo really wants us to quickly investigate the discipline in the Datong Army?" It seems that General Guo must have strict military discipline on weekdays, and he is not afraid of being investigated. ”

"Don't dare...... The last general just acted according to the rules, and did not dare to break the law of the court. ”

Guo Zongbing was humble...... The official hesitated to move, just because he had some slight concerns. ”

"I don't know what Lord Yang is worried about, you can say it, and let the last general help you in detail."

"The border army is hard, but when it comes to military salaries, it is obviously far less than that of rich places such as Beijing or Jiangnan, so I can understand the thoughts and practices of those generals very well. If I investigate deeply, I am afraid that the military will be unstable, but if I don't investigate, I will not be entrusted by the imperial court, and it will be difficult for me to explain after returning to Beijing, so I will delay it for so long. Yang Zhen said with a wry smile.

When Guo Rong heard Yang Zhen's words, his heart was suddenly happy, it turned out that this person was also afraid. As long as he has concerns, then things will be easy to do. So he recommended himself and said: "My lord is really dedicated to my Daming, and the last general will admire it." In fact, I have heard some rumors in this army, but I can't find a suitable breakthrough for a while. If you don't dislike Yang Dudu, the last general is willing to help you straighten out the army together. "As long as he can get rid of his crimes, he doesn't mind pulling a few heads out for the dead.

Sure enough, the dark clouds on Yang Zhen's face suddenly decreased: "If General Guo is willing to cooperate with this matter, it will naturally be better." As long as the army is not chaotic and I can make a mission to the court, it is the most complete solution. ”

"Lord Yang, rest assured, the last general will definitely help!" Guo Rong also replied with a smile on his face, and at the same time, the troubles in his heart were gone.

Because of the cooperation a few years ago, Guo Rong felt that although Yang Zhen acted ruthlessly and witty, he was a very flexible person. Before, for the sake of the overall situation of the northwest borderlands, he could only take Liu Yingji and other relevant people and let go of himself and other families, which is the proof. Since this is the case, it is only natural for Yang Zhen to choose to let himself go in this matter and cooperate with him to act in a scene for the imperial court to see.

After calming down, he said a little tentatively: "By the way, there is a general in our army named Tian Liu, who suddenly disappeared without a trace, and I don't know if it was because he knew that he had done a lot of wrong things, for fear that you would arrest him and run away." ”

Hearing the song and knowing the elegant meaning, Yang Zhen immediately understood the other party's thoughts, this is to use this Tian Liu as a substitute for the dead ghost, this Guo Zongbing is really a character who can afford to let go.

However, there was only a surprised expression on his face: "There is such a thing, it is really a thief's heart." He didn't want to think about where he could run away as a sinner if the whole world was not the king's land. Guo Zongbing, rest assured, such a culprit, this official will definitely bring him to justice. ”

"Shame...... Then everything will be entrusted to Lord Yang, you will deal with it, as long as the Lord has instructions, the last general will not refuse......" Hearing the meaning of Yang Zhen's words to let Tian Liu bear all the charges, Guo Rong was completely relieved, and hurriedly reassured.

After getting up with a smile and sending Guo Rong out of the courtyard gate, the look on Yang Zhen's face suddenly turned cold: "This Guo Zongbing can really be regarded as a character." Thinking that Guo Rong quickly abandoned Liu Yingji, the soon-to-be-fallen governor, a few years ago and turned his head to cooperate with him, the fierceness in Yang Zhen's eyes became even stronger.

Such a two-faced, but insatiable guy, not to mention that he is useless, even if he had, Yang Zhen would not have left such a big silverfish in such an important border town as Datong.

Thinking of this, Yang Zhen had already come to the small hall next to the living room where he had just met Guo Rong, looked at the guy sitting there with a pale face, and said with a smile: "How is it, do you have any opinion on this?" ”

"Guo Rong, despicable villain! He's ready to put all the best names on me! This is Tian Liu, and at this moment, he gritted his teeth, and he couldn't wait to rush over and tear Guo Rong apart.

Although Tian Liulao has long felt this way, he still has certain illusions about Guo Rong. But today, after hearing Guo Rong's words with his own ears, he was completely dead. If he promised Jinyiwei to testify that Guo Rong was just forced to do so two days ago, now it is completely out of spontaneous motives.

Seeing him like this, Yang Zhen showed a satisfied smile: "As long as you are willing to do things for me, not only can the previous sins be written off, but I can also help you operate and go to the capital, so that you will not be targeted because of Guo Rong's affairs." ”

"Multi-...... Thank you Lord Yang for your consideration, and the little one will do his best to make his crime public. Tian Liu hurriedly said again.

"Good! That's what I want, and now it's just a matter of waiting for the time to come, and you're living in the middle of the line, and no one is going to do anything to you here. ”

"Yes, the little one." Tian Liu's heart was settled, and then he went to the backyard to rest under the escort or surveillance of the Jinyi guard outside the door. And Yang Zhen raised his eyebrows again, wanting to find an opportunity, but it was not so easy.

The night is quieter, and the moon hangs high.

Located in the north of Datong City, seven is more than a mile away, there is a fortress of the Ming Dynasty, named Ming Weishu.

This fortress is very close to the border between the Ming and the Mongols, so it is particularly important, there are soldiers who have been guarding for 120 years, and it is actually equipped with a cannon with considerable strength.

After the chaos before Xuanfu, Datong's garrison of the border land was not tightened, and the defenders who went into the fortress to rest after nightfall on weekdays were also arranged to guard five people against the cold wind at this time.

A few guards with no background or relationship were bored, and began to arrange the people above.

"We are miserable, taking such a small amount of money, but we have to stay next to each other for a long time. But the generals above are eating and drinking spicy, and the mother-in-law with the sign gives them warm quilts......"

"Who's to say it isn't? In fact, it's just a matter of suffering a little, the most terrible thing is that we are here as the first target of those Mengren, if they come to kill at this time, I am afraid we will all be finished. ”

"What nonsense? Now that it is the month of Layue, how can the Mongolian people attack it? They had such a big advantage in Xuanfu before, and finally retreated, and now they must have returned to the grassland to herd horses for the winter. ”

"It's also said that the Mongolian people have always used soldiers in the early autumn, and it is really impossible to come now, so we are waiting here to be fully fed."

When a few people said this, their spirit was even more insufficient, so they leaned against the city and glared.

But they didn't notice it, and just as they were distracted and talking, a group of three or five hundred black shadows had quickly approached. Even when they were under the earthen walls, the guards were unaware of the approaching danger.

When he glanced at the wall of the fortress, which was only two feet high and full of potholes, a trace of disdain flashed in the eyes of the person in charge. With a wave of his hand, the other black-clothed men climbed up to the top of the city like apes, and in just a few clicks, they flipped in.

Then, there was the sound of a knife slicing into a human body, and the five soldiers were killed in the blink of an eye, and barely made any movement.

Different from the previous way of fighting to seize the fortress, after these people took control of the city, they did not go down to open the door, but went straight down, the knife in their hands flashing with a faint light.

Half an hour later, the blood and qi in the Ming Wei Garrison filled the entire space, and all the Ming soldiers were killed by them. Except for a few who resisted slightly, all of them were killed by cutting their throats in their sleep, and it can be said that they died in vain. In this way, it is naturally impossible for the beacon fire here to be lit again.

And just before and after, the same situation continued to occur among many fortresses and fortresses outside Datong, and everyone born in the city was still ignorant of this......
