Two days later, the team arrived in Datong, Shanxi. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The road was very peaceful, because Datong was very close to the Beijing Division, and the imperial court had a lot of soldiers, plus the general Man Gui was in charge, so there were relatively few rogues nearby.

Man Gui personally led people to the gate of the city to welcome the arrival of Qin Shuhuai, the minister of the Qin Mission, the crown prince Shaobao, and the scholar of Wuyingdian University.

"Qin Shaobao, look up for a long time!" Man Gui arched his hand to greet him.

Qin Shuhuai saw that he was full of Gui's big shoulders and round waist, and he was full of pride, and he couldn't help but say: He is really a fierce general. I have been in Daming for so long, and I have seen Ming generals such as Zu Dashou, Yuan Chonghuan, Zhao Shujiao, He Kegang, etc., but I still saw the fierce general brother who wrote the word "brave" on his face once!

So he arched his hand, stepped forward and said with a smile, "It is really a sin and a sin to lead the general out of the city to greet him in person. ”

Man Gui said in his heart, this Qin Shaobao is a scene person, and he speaks so politely, which is very different from those civil officials in the court, no wonder everyone calls him a young hero.

"Qin Shaobao is going to make fun of the lower officials. Shaobao, as the minister of the Qincha, calmed the three sides on behalf of the Son of Heaven, how could the lower officials not go out to greet him? Shaobao, all the way to the dust, let's go into the city to rest. The lower official prepared a little thin wine to wash the dust for the adults. ”

"Hehe, great, then I'll be respectful. ”

"Please!"

"General Man, please!"

The two entered the city, and soon arrived at the General Soldier's Mansion.

Mangui's General Military Mansion is neither shabby nor luxurious, and it is decent. Just like his character, he is neither ostentatious nor low-key, what he should be is what it is.

The wine and food are not served with delicacies from the mountains and seas, but they are also sumptuous. According to Man Gui, the dishes on this table were all cooked by his wife herself.

In the Ming Dynasty, the wives of the eunuchs generally cooked only when the guests arrived, which was a high courtesy to the guests. Of course, it doesn't matter if the lady did it herself, the important thing is that she went to the kitchen to make a fuss.

Qin Shuhuai sat down on the throne without concessions, and Man Gui and Meng Hu were on his left and right, as well as Li Jingting, Lai San'er, Chen Jing and several military generals under Man Gui to accompany him.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, before Qin Shuhuai could speak, Man Gui took the initiative to talk about the situation on the three sides.

Since the change of Jisi, the three sides of the rogue have achieved great development, especially Gao Yingxiang of Shaanxi, in Shaanxi defeated the official army in a row, and has now captured seven cities and eleven counties, and laid a solid foundation.

Zhang Xianzhong in Shanxi is a little worse, although he has a lot of soldiers and horses now, he is also unable to maintain a stronghold, so he can only engage in the trick of officials advancing and retreating, and officials retreating and he entering. In other words, he only attacked areas where the officers and troops were weakly defended, and after the battle, he first stationed there. When the official army came to attack, he immediately retreated and moved to the next place.

To put it simply, Gao Yingxiang has a base, while Zhang Xianzhong is still fighting guerrillas.

Qin Shuhuai thought to himself, could this be the reason why Zhang Xianzhong and other gangsters want to worship Gao Yingxiang as the leading big brother?

Thinking of this, he asked Man Guidao, "Lord Man, if you were to preside over the suppression of Kou, how would you suppress him?"

Man Gui smiled meaningfully and said, "Qin Shaobao said with a smile. Man Gui is just a general soldier of Datong, how dare he discuss the big matter of suppressing Kou?"

Qin Shuhuai said, "General Man is too worried. You and I are just drinking and chatting, just talking on paper, how can we say that it is a false discussion. Can't we have a chat?"

Man Gui hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Since Qin Shaobao said so, then let's talk crazy after drinking." ”

"Hehe, General Man said well, please speak quickly. ”

"Now the trilateral gangsters, in the eyes of the lower officials, are just a group of rabble. Among the rogues, there are many factions, not to mention Shaanxi, let's talk about Shanxi, there are the Dingbian faction headed by Zhang Xianzhong, the Chuang faction headed by Liu Guoneng, the Chuang faction headed by He Yilong, and so on. These factions are all inseparable, and they are now in a good relationship with each other. If the officials and soldiers can intensify their efforts to suppress the Kou and make them tired of running around, they will inevitably complain to each other at that time, and even betray their allies in order to protect their own strength. How can these people understand the truth of cold lips and teeth, so to deal with them, you only need to beat them with a stick first, and after hurting them, they will fall apart, and then we will break them down. Look, they'll be sure to protect their own when the time comes, and if they don't get it, they'll stab their allies behind their backs. ”

Qin Shuhuai nodded frequently when he heard this, what Man Gui said was similar to what Hong Chengchou did in history. The reason why Hong Chengchou was able to purge the trilateral gangsters in just a few years after taking office was, on the one hand, that he used a high-pressure policy based on suppression, and on the other hand, he used various strategies to break down.

In Qin Shuhuai's plan, he had the idea of fighting a few battles with the rogues to cool down the trilateral banditry. Man Gui said that there are at least three factions among the Liukou in Shanxi, which Hua Shen, who has only been in office for only half a month, has not detected.

This is excellent information that can be used when the time comes.

said, "What General Man said is that Qin also thinks so. By the way, don't hide it from the general, Qin went to Taiyuan to assist in suppressing bandits, but he didn't know anything about the situation over there. Can the general give me some advice?"

Man Gui smiled heartily, "Qin Shaobao, how can you be so polite, you are a Shangguan, just ask, and the general will answer all questions." There are currently 80,000 officers near Taiyuan Mansion, and the general army of Taiyuan is Cao Wenzhao, this guy was originally from the Guanning Army, and he has only been transferred in the past two months. ”

Qin Shuhuai said in surprise, "General Cao has been transferred to the Taiyuan General Army?"

Although Cao Wenzhao is not as famous as Man Gui, Zu Dashou and others in history, he is never under these generals in terms of military talent. In particular, in the matter of suppressing bandits, he made outstanding achievements, and for a long time after Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui died in battle, he was known as the first good general in Guannai.

It's a pity that he died early. However, with Qin Shuhuai here, he would not die so easily.

Man Gui said in surprise, "Qin Shaobao also knows him?"

Qin Shuhuai smiled, "That's not true, I've just heard of his name." By the way, there's more, you go on. ”

Man Gui continued, "Under the command of Governor Yang He, there are a few people who are also talented people who can fight well. One is called Hong Chengchou and the other is He Huchen. Coupled with Cao Wenzhao, logically speaking, with these three people on the three sides, the suppression of the thieves should be just around the corner. ”

Qin Shuhuai smiled playfully, "Logically?"

Man Gui also smiled back, "Hehe, yes, logically speaking." ”

Then, the two burst out laughing.

There was a deep sense of helplessness in the laughter.

Logically speaking, the rogue on the three sides should have been cleared up a long time ago!

But Qin Shuhuai and Man Gui didn't talk about the second half of the sentence, that is, because of the existence of Yang He, the rogues on the three sides were not clear, and they became more and more intense.

Hong Chengchou, Cao Wenzhao, He Huchen, Qin Shuhuai has heard of the first two, but he has never heard of this He Huchen.

I thought to myself, since he is a person who is admired by Manguidu, he must not be far behind.

In this way, there are 80,000 soldiers in Taiyuan and three generals!

That's enough. When Yang He was killed, the big drama of the trilateral banditry was sung by himself.

After Man Gui and Qin Shuhuai smiled tacitly, their good impression of Qin Shuhuai became deeper and deeper.

At first, he just admired Qin Shuhuai's reputation, after all, as a military general, it was impossible not to respect Qin Shuhuai, who almost single-handedly reversed the situation of the war.

After meeting Qin Shuhuai, he had a good impression of Qin Shuhuai's immodest and approachable style.

And after smiling at Qin Shuhuai, he thought of a word, that is, the hero sees the same.

It turned out that this Qin Shaobao, like himself, had long seen that the trilateral suppression of bandits was not effective because of the relationship between Governor Yang He.

Everyone doesn't say it, but tacitly understands it, this is the highest tacit understanding.

Man Gui felt that this Qin Shaobao had a tacit understanding with himself.

Tacit understanding is speculation.

After a speculation, the two simply lived in a room at night and chatted until dawn!

The next day, Qin Shuhuai bid farewell to Mangui and set off for Taiyuan. Man Gui personally sent him off, and he didn't go back until he was sent five miles outside the city.
