Chapter 65 There is no Li Ziyong, there is Li Zicheng
Chapter 65 There is no Li Ziyong and there is a Li Zicheng
In mid-July, more than 5,000 people gathered in the small Baideng City.
In this small town, Tie Mo finally met the general Hou Shilu. When he first met, Hou Shilu gave people the impression of being a kind elder, but the momentum naturally revealed, making people dare not have the idea of making mistakes.
Hou Shilu was also carefully observing Tiemo. This young man was so majestic and honest. But in fact, this kid was decisive and ruthless. What was even more precious is that he liked to use his brain more.
Looking at the battle at Yehu Ridge, Tie Mo showed the enemy to be weak, and used tricks to anger King Kong, then exploded the southern intersection and put it to death before he was born. It can be said that he is brave and resourceful, able to bend and stretch.
Tie Mo never seems to care about reputation.
"The last general Tie Mo, please see General Hou. If the last general has today, it depends on the general's support!"
When he entered the camp, Tiemo bowed his knees and gave a big gift to Hou Shilu. He looked sincere and had no intention of flattery.
Tiemo respected Hou Shilu from the bottom of his heart. Although there were Chang and Cao family Shanxi merchants working behind the scenes, if Hou Shilu had no tacit approval, Tiemo would not have completed the aftermath so quickly.
Let’s talk about Zhang Bei’s incident and the specific situation, Hou Shilu knew it clearly. As for the relationship between Tie Mo and Aqige, if he had been stupid, he would have been so angry that he had already scolded the streets.
It can be said that he was able to have a territory in northern Shanxi so quickly, and it was all thanks to Hou Shilu's help.
Such a great kindness cannot be forgotten in this life.
Hou Shilu quickly took two steps and helped Tiemo up. At first, Hou Shilu was really afraid that Tiemo would develop arrogance and looked down on him.
Now that we meet, we have less of this worry. Although Tiemo is young, he has a maturity far beyond his peers. Through the past, this person also values love and friendship.
Hou Shilu likes Tiemo the more he looks at him. If he is trained properly, the border army will produce another general who will cause trouble to the Mongolians. Unfortunately, he is a pure military family and has some flaws.
Li Jiasheng was already very familiar with Heiyunlong and Li Jiasheng, so he didn't need to introduce him. After a few greetings, the few people sat together to discuss the matter about Yanmen Pass.
When talking about Yanmen Pass, the smile on Hou Shilu's face gradually faded away, and what was replaced by a sense of sorrow.
"Just just received the news from General Man, the bandits had already broken through Yanmen Pass yesterday."
"What?" Everyone was shocked. Even Tie Mo, who had two lives of memory, was shocked by the news.
Yanmen Pass is different from Ningwu Pass. There are more than 2,000 troops stationed here, and the Yanmen Pass is also very strong. Not to mention blocking the bandits, it should be no problem to delay for a few days. When will the bandits be so powerful?
Hou Shilu glared at the Black Cloud Dragon who had reacted the most and snorted coldly: "Sit down, you are already guarding, and you are still so fussy when you encounter problems."
When Hou Shilu finished explaining the details, everyone understood why Yanmen Pass was lost so quickly.
Zhao Hongyuan, a hundred households in Yanmen Guard, was actually the brother-in-law of the bandit Heisha God Hai Chao. At night, Zhao Hongyuan took advantage of the opportunity to be on duty and secretly let go of the pass gate. A large number of bandit soldiers entered in a row. When the defenders reacted, the bandits had already seized the pass wall.
Geng Ruoming, a thousand households in Yanmen, was also a fool. The bandits entered the pass and did not want to fight back and delay time. In a hurry, he actually took the lead in escaping from Yanmen Pass.
In this way, the bandits occupied the thousand-year pass in just one hour.
After hearing the whole story of the matter, Heiyunlong's face became darker, and his eyes were so angry that they were about to pop out.
"Is Geng Ruoming a pig? He just lost the city wall, and he didn't lose the entire Yanmen Station. He was afraid of a ball?"
"Okay, please give me a few less complaints." Hou Shilu patted the table and looked a little stern. "In fact, if the bandits are determined to occupy Yanmen Pass, it will not be a bad thing. We just need to control the road near Yanmen Pass. It won't take long, and the bandits will be in chaos without fighting."
Even though he said so, the expression on Hou Shilu's face did not relax, but became even more solemn.
Li Jiasheng smiled dryly and said, "My General, since you can turn bad things into good things, why do you still look sad?"
Hou Shilu shook his head with a wry smile, just glanced at everyone, but said nothing.
After a moment, Tie Mo became aware of the situation and said with some uncertainty: "Sir General, are you worried about the future situation?"
Hou Shilu had a little more relief in his eyes and nodded gently.
"Yes, after all, most of them were forced to embark on this path. Now the court's disaster relief capabilities are getting worse and worse, and the situation in Shaanxi may no longer be controlled. This is just the beginning. What can we do if we keep all of Wang Ziyong's subordinates? Without Wang Ziyong, there will be Li Ziyong in the future, and more hungry people will rebel."
Tie Mo's heart moved and looked at Hou Shilu without a trace. Alas, General Hou, you are indeed as expected. There is no Li Ziyong in the future, but a big rebel Li Zicheng has emerged.
"Your Majesty first ascended the throne, and the court situation changed suddenly. Since Governor Zhang was killed, I have become more and more worried about the situation behind me. You have also served in Xuanfu for many years. I think I understand it very well. At this moment, how many people in Shanxi do you think there are still these gentry in Shanxi who are willing to donate money and grain to the court?"
Hearing this, Heiyunlong and others couldn't help but fall into silence.
In Shanxi, they can see better than Zhu Youjian in the Forbidden City. Since the beheading of the governor Zhang Yiming, a large number of Jin Party officials were taken down, and the right to supply the Nine-side military ordnance was seized, it can be said that the court has completely disappointed the hearts of Shanxi gentry.
Heiyunlong and others did not understand the great principles of courts, but they knew one thing: to protect the border and provide relief to the victims, which of these local gentry was missing?
The emperor must find a way to appease the people, but it is really incredible that the relationship was so stiff as soon as he came to power.
At this time, let alone asking Shanxi gentry to help with disaster relief, if you don’t stumbling behind your back, it’s like burning incense. Think about it, Shanxi gentry is not a fool. I don’t pay the money and food, but in the end I’m not going to leave it. What’s the point?
Shanxi is just a microcosm. If there is such a problem in Shanxi, other places will definitely have the same problem.
"Oh, take one step at a time! I hope that General Yuan can pacify Liaodong as soon as possible. If Liaodong is pacified, the court can also put in enough energy to deal with these natural disasters and man-made disasters."
Hou Shilu sighed, but the fool could hear how confident his tone was.
Tiemo grinned and sneered in his heart.
