Chapter 424 : Han people are so cunning
Ever since he learned from Xiao Yun that Fang Guozhen intended to surrender, Tuotuo had been filled with joy. This time, the imperial court mobilized all the power of the country to exterminate the rebel Zhang Shicheng. Many people in the imperial court had already complained, so Tuotuo was filled with joy.
There are also some
He was worried that someone in the court was causing trouble behind his back, but now it was better. Not only did Xiao Yun get Zhang Shicheng's city defense layout plan, but what was even more gratifying was that this guy actually convinced Fang Guozhen, who was about the same strength as Zhang Shicheng, to surrender without spending a single soldier.
This is really good news. Once Fang Guozhen surrenders, half of the area in Jiangsu and Zhejiang will immediately belong to the imperial court, and food will be indispensable in the future. Furthermore, with Fang Guozhen's surrender, Tuotuo can also take this opportunity to block the imperial court's mouth.
It can also give the emperor a reassurance. This is a good move that kills three birds with one stone.
So after learning the good news, Tuotuo wrote a letter overnight and sent it back to the court overnight, saying that Fang Guozhen and others were loyal, and asked the court to issue an order to recruit people. I thought this matter would be delayed, and I didn't want the emperor to live in Taizhou in eastern Zhejiang.
There is no need to worry about the seaside. Since Fang Guozhen is willing to surrender, he can be ordered to be sent back to the court officials and given the title of a minor official in the border area, so that he can abide by the court laws and serve the court. "
Now that the imperial edict has been delivered to his camp, Xiao Yun has not seen anyone for several days, and he can't help but feel a little suspicious.
"Here comes someone!" Tuodao frowned and shouted.
A young general ten feet away heard the order and hurriedly walked in. He clasped his fists and saluted ten feet away from Tuotuo's desk, and called out in a low voice: "General Bian He, do you want to meet your lord?"
"Go, call General Ha and Counselor Gong to come over to me. I have something important to discuss with you!" Tuo Tao said without raising his head.
"General, take your orders!" The young general received the order and quickly left the tent.
After a while, Ha Ci led Gong Boxuan into the big tent. Ha Ci was a generous man. When the young general went to his tent, the guy was stripping off his clothes and wanted to pay a courtesy to the Duke of Zhou to two delicate girls.
The young general screamed for a while, and with anger in his heart, he entered the tent and complained to himself: "Sir, it's true, when is it hard to find someone, but at this time?"
Gong Boxuan on the side knew his temperament. Hearing what he said, he vaguely guessed what he was talking about and couldn't help but laugh, but he didn't laugh out loud.
The two were about to salute. Tuoduo waved his hands and said: "We will be outside, so there is no need to be formal!"
Ha Ci complained for a few words and then stopped being polite. He found a chair and sat down. Gong Boxuan on the side asked: "Your Excellency, you have urgently summoned us and two of us. Do you have any important matters to discuss?"
Tuotuo put down the pen in his hand. These intelligence dispatched by the imperial court were sent to the big tent by Ruzhongbai at high speed. Although he had handed over the important military affairs of the imperial court to his younger brother before setting off for the expedition, Timur had also taken charge of it on his behalf. However, his younger brother had no choice but to do so.
He is indeed a good hand at rectifying government affairs and cracking down on corrupt officials, but he always lacks some decisiveness. Originally, Tuotuo wanted to use it as the mastermind this time.
Shuai, but unfortunately in the battle of Xuzhou, the 300,000 troops lost were the most elite troops directly under the central government of the Yuan Dynasty, including the "ace army" such as the Asu Army, which can be said to be the thickest old team. They were all involved in the Battle of Shahe.
Zhong lost all his money at once. From then on, Tuotuo would not dare to use this younger brother as his coach. Otherwise, how could he put down the state affairs of the court and come to suppress the bandits? "
Tuotuo frowned and corrected the last piece of intelligence, then put down the pen in his hand, raised his head and looked at Ha Ci, and said: "General Ha, we have been staying in Suzhou City for dozens of days. Zhang Shicheng's city defense map,
I also saw the real situation, including the soldiers and horses.
After resting enough, why did Xiao Yun disappear after a trip to Suzhou City? Could it be that Fang Guozhen regretted his decision and arrested him, or that he simply did not convince Fang Guozhen and was worried about being reprimanded by the truth?
Just run away?"
As soon as Tuotuo finished speaking, Ha Ci shouted: "Isn't it? In my opinion, it's probably like this. Otherwise, where has the man named Xiao been in the past ten days? There was a soldier with him?
"I paused and then said: "I have told you a long time ago that most of these Han people are cunning people and cannot be trusted. Your Excellency does not believe it. How about now?"
Ha Ci finished speaking loudly, but he didn't know that Gong Boxuan, who was sitting next to him, was very ugly. When Tuotuo didn't see him, he glared at Ha Ci fiercely. This look was so powerful that Ha Ci was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly darkened.
Scolding myself for not being able to speak,
Just now, he said that Han people are cunning and untrustworthy. Gong Bozhen is also a Han. In this case, wouldn't he be scolded again? His face turned red. Ha Ci knew that he had made a mistake and smiled at him and said: "Master Gong is not like that."
People?"
Gong Boxuan snorted coldly, turned his face and said: "Based on my humble position, your lord has filtered it out. If Xiao Yun wanted to escape, he could have escaped as early as the last time your lord dispatched him. There is no need to present the city defense map and Fang Guozhen's surrender."
After good news, suddenly run away!"
Tuotuo nodded and said, "Master Gong's words make sense?"
"That's nice to say. Since he didn't run away, why haven't he seen anyone yet? The court is waiting for him to announce the decree?" Ha Ci disagreed and retorted.
"Xiao Yun brought a trusted soldier into Suzhou City. Suzhou has been a land of fireworks since ancient times. It is normal for him not to come back for ten and a half months. Even if he wants to leave, he can't run away. A monk can't run away from the temple? Where is Lujiabao?
Kyoto, where can he run to?"
"Humph, you Han people are so quibbling!" Ha Ci cursed in his heart twice, and suddenly slapped the table. The table was slapped hard by him, and there was a "hurrah!" sound, and the teacups, bowls and chopsticks all danced together, only taking off his clothes.
Tuo Tuo and Gong Boxuan were startled. Tuo Tuo frowned and thought to himself: "This Ha Ci Da Zhang is a good player, but his temper is too irritable!"
"Grandma, we are marching and fighting here, but that boy went to Suzhou City to have a good time. I'm really angry." In his opinion, Xiao Yun went to Suzhou City and didn't come back for more than ten days. He must be hiding somewhere.
In the land of fireworks, Feng Liu was very happy. He remembered that the two pretty little girls in the big tent just now still needed to hide, and he couldn't help but feel sulky.
