"In the lower Yang Er, I have met General Zu."

Since Zu Kefa has been stationed in Guangning, he recognized Yang Er at a glance and nodded slightly to Cheng Benzhi beside him.

Zu Kefa quickly clasped his fists and returned the greeting immediately, and grinned, "Brother Yang, when I was in Guangning, I said that you were not a person in the pool. As expected, today's pattern is completely different from that day."

Yang Er laughed and said, "That was not what you said back then. You said that I would be a messy person until I die. It would be better to go to the ancestral mansion with you and become a master of the Qiang in two years."

Although these words are disrespectful, they are considered kind-hearted. Zu Kefa himself didn't remember saying this. He probably brags a lot after drinking. He could only laugh a few times and quickly introduced to Yang Er: "Brother Yang, this is Lord Cheng, the Tongzhi, and Mr. Cheng is the new governor of Liaodong, Yuan Junmen, and his identity is very noble."

Zu Kefa was afraid that Yang Er would talk to him to these two surnames Cheng. He was a general and didn't care about face, but only about strength. Although Yang Er had only dozens of cavalry, all of them were wearing silver armor, with strong and thick armor, and dazzling armor. He held extremely sharp weapons in his hands. In terms of military appearance, he was only stronger than the more than 200 Need Dings from the Zu family in front of him.

Just randomly, some accompanying knights came out with such majesty and strength. The group members couldn't help but look up to the power of Hutchison in the Thirteen Mountains.

When Yang Erxiang Cheng Benzhi and Cheng Weiying greeted each other, Cheng Benzhi gave Zu Kefa a few winks, and the meaning was quite obvious.

Zu Kefa said to Yang Er: "I have always heard that Brother Yang is the leader of Guangning Challenge, and later he governed the Thirteen Mountains to fight against Jianlu. I was very impressed after hearing this. But looking at the things in front of me, it seems that there is something else on the Thirteen Mountains. Could it be that Brother Yang is working for the Hutchison Trading Company?"

Yang Er replied casually: "Originally, he was doing his own things, but over the years, Hutchison's financial resources and military training methods were far above us. He used each family and Hutchison to form an army. If he was not talented, he was still appointed as the commander and commanded all the trained regiments on the mountain to train their troops."

"This time I drove away Jianlu, was Brother Yang who led his troops down?"

"That's right." Yang Er said: "Hajima Zhang wanted to use troops to Lin Dankhan, so we first opened up the road between Guangning and Yizhou Guards and began to divide the troops to garrison. However, the number of cavalry is insufficient now and it is impossible to isolate the road. This time, the Mongolian tribes are summoned to form an alliance, and we also wanted to ask the Mongolians to do their part and completely isolate the road. At least within two or three months, it would be better not to let Jianlu receive any exact news."

"Can the Beilu be used by your subordinates?"

Hearing Yang Er's words, Zu Kefa felt that his strength seemed not worth mentioning in front of others, and he was a little cautious in his tone of speaking.

Yang Er actually wanted to talk to Cheng Benzhi because Cheng Benzhi was the governor's aide and Yuan Chonghuan's aide. In any case, the governor of Liaodong was the head of this land. Zu Kefa represented the Zu family at most, but Cheng Benzhi was able to represent the governor.

However, the other party just greeted Kaichu and then kept silent. This was also a bit helpless.

"This time, people from the fried flowers were sent to contact us. Hutchison originally had a great reputation on the grassland. Each tribe was intimidated by the Taijiji, and there were also big Taijiji and other big Taijiji in the middle to contact us. Therefore, there were many Taijiji and Jinan. Representatives from each tribe came here."

Zu Dashou thought for a while and said, "It seems that he has not seen anyone from the Korqin tribe."

"Ming'an Taiji is interested in coming here." Yang Er frowned and said, "But he was stopped by Oba Taiji. It would be fine if he would let them burn together in the future."

Zu Kefa was speechless about Yang Er's tone of being confident and overwhelming the Mongolian tribes. In his heart, the Mongolian tribes that were worthy of being the enemy and being led as a helper were like local chickens and dogs, and could be driven at will.

"I'm afraid your subordinate's behavior is not appropriate." Cheng Benzhi suddenly spoke at this time: "I came to the Mongolian tribes at the order of the military lords, thinking that our Ming Dynasty will help destroy the Eastern Captains. Although Hutchison is powerful, it is still the next business of our Ming Dynasty. We can train to enter the grasslands to prevent the Tumote from disturbing the border and attacking it. The court also agreed to it. We are good at raising border provocations until we were invaded by the Han troops, and encouraged many Mongolian tribes to gather and disturb the military lords. Yang Er, you are also a citizen of the Ming Dynasty. You once called a hero. It would be fine if you could not save your eyes on that day. Now, you really have to wander in the wilderness and never enter the land of the Ming Dynasty?"

If Cheng Benzhi's words directly threaten, not only will Yang Er change his color, but Zu Kefa also frowned greatly.

Although the troops here are stronger, the thousands of Mongolians obviously heard and remembered. In addition, they don’t know how many troops there are here, so they really make a fuss. They are worried about their lives when they are killed.

Cheng Benzhi was not too worried... He knew that Yang Er had always wanted to contact western Liaoning, and seemed to be the intention of opening a town to become independent or relying on Liaoning Town.

Such people are still very passionate about fame and fortune. Even if they are not for profit, they must seek fame. Such people will not admit that they have rebelled. Once they annoyed the governor, they will be rebellious and their reputation will be ruined. For these once famous heroes in the world, it is even more uncomfortable than death.

Sure enough, Yang Er looked very ugly. After a while, he said: "Mr. Cheng, I have some difficulties. Please stay in Yizhou Acropolis for a while and then explain in detail later."

Cheng Ben smiled proudly... This time he had a bet right.

Continue to move forward, the grassland is lush and the mountains are gradually emerging. Guangning City is also built along the abdomen of the mountain, and there are mountains to the southwest and northeast. The border wall of the old Liao Town was built more than 200 years ago. After the Ming army retreated from the Nuergandusi, it gradually completed the city in decades, including Shenyang and Liaoyang Zhucheng, which were mostly built during the Hongwu period.

During the Hongwu period, not only was the border wall built, but hundreds of garrisons were sealed outside the border wall, and there were also the grasslands such as Daning to Dongshengwei. Then there were the three Duoyan guards who thought they were guarding the outer wall. Then they were the many Duoshi controlled by many vassal kings, including Peking, as the second line of defense.

If it weren't for the Jingnan Campaign and Chengzu indulging the three guards of Duoyan and moving away the Ning and Liao kings, I'm afraid the border wall today would be considered an inner town, and no one could tell it clearly.

Yizhou Acropolis was also built when the walls on the east side of Liao were first established. Like Guangning Guard, the acropolis was more than three miles wide and had four gates. Everyone could enter through the north gate. When Cheng Ben arrived directly near the front, many Mongolians were scattered around the city and were already preparing to camp for the night.

As expected, the north gate was destroyed, and the defenses such as the arrow tower were also severely damaged.

During the past century, when the Chahar people often invaded the borders, I don’t know how many times the Yizhou Acropolis was surrounded, and the city walls were full of arrow holes, which proved that these Mongols probably never thought that they would build felt bags to live next to the acropolis that they had never been able to capture for a long time. The people of the Ming Dynasty never thought that this city and Guangning had been supporting each other for many years and had never been captured by the Northern Barbarians. However, they were defeated by the Jurchens. Not only did they lose the city, but they were also demolished and destroyed. Now the city wall is only more than one person high, and defense facilities such as the arrow tower are almost useless.

Outside the city walls, weeds grow from the ground, and there are shrubs more than one person tall growing on the base, but they withered in winter and look quite sparse and broken.

Yang Er said: "We killed from the mountain, and the Jurchens' Duoqi Ding was unable to fight and was repelled by us in one battle. Later, the Donglu led his troops to attack, and our army was very harsh, so he returned without success."

Only then did everyone realize that Guangning was indeed a regiment on the mountain that he broke through. Not only in one battle, but also in the battle to break the siege, they also faced the Jurchen reinforcements. They also defended the attack of the Jurchen reinforcements at the foot of the Thirteen Mountains. The Jurchens defeated the Jurchens for two consecutive battles. What strength is this?

During the Liaoxi War not long ago, the performance of the Ming army was ashamed. Compared with the two, the gap was really too big and too obvious.

However, Yang Er didn't care. He had something to do, so he didn't want to look at the expressions of Zu Kefa and others, and would not count what he was thinking.

"After the Second World War we drove away the Donglu reinforcements and calculated that they would not come again in a short time. Therefore, in addition to building camp defenses from Shisanshan to Guangning City, we also sent engineers and baggage troops to the Yizhou Acropolis. The city walls were not as good as reinforcement and reconstruction, so we could only block the gap. It would be good to have a protection during the war. Most of the decaying old houses in the city were demolished. Some of them were repaired and lived in. The places that were dismantled were used as military camps and schools, which was also considered as the best use."

Yang Er introduced while walking, while everyone became more and more shocked.

The city has changed its scenes. In addition to a few important buildings, the city was also full of residential houses and various courtyards filled the entire city. Now most of the houses have been demolished, and the remaining buildings have been renovated. Large areas of military-barracks-like houses have been built everywhere in the city, and the barren land has been leveled, and several large and small schoolyards have been built.

The entire Yizhou Guard has become a large military camp area, and there is no sign of decline or destruction.

The situation in the city forms a very sharp contrast with the outer walls, which is amazing and amazing.

"The outer city wall will not be repaired for the time being." Yang Er said in a muffled voice: "If you want to repair it, it is also to repair Guangning, but we do not have the ability for the time being, and there is no need for this. So we only built fortifications in the village below the corner of the mountain, and the Yizhou Acropolis will sort out the city and live in it."

"It's just that you can live." Zu Kefa smiled and joked: "It's much better than our doghouse in Ningyuan."

Yang Er did have plans to repair Yizhou Acropolis and Guangning City. Two cities and one restoration, plus internal reconstruction, with over 20,000 laborers and engineers from the Merchant Army, they could easily do these things.

But Cheng Fang and Xu Ming insisted that it was not possible because they had to consume a lot of manpower and money. At present, Hutchison's assistance to the mountains was still not in place. At least they had to give in to the battle to conquer Lin Dankhan and repair the Yizhou Acropolis of Guangning was the next step.

In addition, a large number of cavalry must be equipped to block the Jurchens. This repair is meaningful. Otherwise, if the infantry and the Jurchens' huge cavalry came over, it would not be difficult to defend the city. If you want to go out to fight, you are not strong enough and have no ability to cut off the enemy's food route. Repairing the Guangning area is just a useless task.
