Chapter 432 The Fall of Fort Weiyuan

"General Zhang, are you familiar with Weiyuan City?" Li Xin looked at Zhang Gui, who was ashamed, and said in a pleasant manner, "I want to take Weiyuan City, but I don't know if you can help me?"

"The general is willing." After Zhang Gui heard this, he looked at Li Xin with complicated eyes. It was the man in front of him who not only broke through Qijiahe Fort, but also held his daughter in his hands. I'm afraid I can't escape the other party's control.

"I heard that the general has enmity with Huang Jinbiao, the guard of Weiyuan City?" Li Xin said with a smile.

"How does the general know?" Zhang Gui was taken aback when he heard the words, and quickly said, "Huang Jinbiao is Jiang Yu's family member. At the end of the year, the general rejected Jiang Yu, so Jiang Yu asked Huang Jinbiao to guard Weiyuan City. Nian Huangjinbiao has often troubled the last general."

"The so-called confidante, if this swan goose does not have a strong backer, then it is called a real confidante. Miss Zhang, I don't know what this general said makes sense." After hearing this, Li Xin nodded and said: " General Zhang, I want to go to Weiyuan City with you this time, I wonder if the general is willing?"

"My lord, why does the lord need to go to such a small Weiyuan city? The last general can just go there." After hearing this, Hao Laosan hurriedly said: "I don't believe that a small Weiyuan city can actually stop me. Conquer the Northern Army." Hao Laosan was full of spirits, in this situation, if he was killing Hukou, he would never have the guts to attack Weiyuan City.

"Can you be someone's son-in-law with your appearance?" Li Xin said with a smile: "This time I am going to the city of fraud, and you will lead five thousand elites to follow. I will ask Zhang Gui to take us there. This Things need to be done quickly, I think that Qi Yunshan may really go to find Yang Zhenwei, one day is enough for Yang Zhenwei to react."

After Zhang Gui heard this, his face became even more complicated. Only then did he know why Li Xin left him and his daughter. He and his daughter coexisted. Li Xin used him to threaten her daughter, and also used him to Daughter came to threaten him.In this way, both of them are under Li Xin's control. Although Li Xin's actions are unreasonable, Li Xin not only wants beauty, but also wants Jiangshan. The main reason for keeping him is Weiyuan City .After all, Qijiahe Fort is a subordinate of Weiyuan City.It is just right to use Zhang Gui to defraud the city.

"Don't worry, this general will not let you die. Not only that, I will let you enjoy the glory and wealth, and I will also make Jiang Guan kneel in front of you and confess to you." Li Xin saw Zhang Gui's expression in his eyes , said with a smile.

"If you can kill Jiang Yu, I will be your woman willingly." A cold voice came, but Zhang Juan's face was cold, and there was no expression in her eyes.

"Haha, if that's the case, this general will take over." Li Xin was taken aback when he heard the words, and soon burst out laughing. Juan was caught off guard, and her delicate body squeezed into Li Xin's arms, and she couldn't help screaming.But Li Xin laughed out loud.Behind him, five thousand elites followed closely behind, smoke and dust rose everywhere, and disappeared in front of Qijiahe Castle in an instant.Only the terrified soldiers of the Ming army on the Qijiahe Fort were left behind.In just a few hours, the Qijiahe Fort changed drastically, and the news that Li Xin's army had entered the hinterland of Datong spread instantly.

Weiyuan City is actually Weiyuan Fort, but it is called a city because of its very important location.Very high status.In fact, Weiyuan City is now called a garrison, but not long ago, it was reported that Jiang Yu was going to play the emperor and promoted the garrison of Weiyuan Castle to a general.This is also because of the importance of Fort Weiyuan.In Weiyuan Fort, there are Weiyuan Guard Station, Garrison Administration, Inspection Department, Central Military Administration, General Administration of Thousands, etc., as well as Confucian Temple Minglun Hall, Shenhang Hangar, Granary, Grassland, Prison and various temples.Outside the fort, there are Sheji Altar, Calendar Altar, Fengyun Leiyu Altar and Leuyuze Garden, which is dedicated to adopting orphans and widows. It can be said that this place is a city.

The reason why it is called Weiyuan City is because it has a lot to do with its culture.Although Weiyuan Fort is known as a frontier fortress, there are many celebrities in this place.During the Zhengtong period of the Ming Dynasty, the style of study flourished, even in the frontiers, there were quite a few scholars.In the second year of Zhengtong, Li Li, the former deputy envoy of the Inspectorate of Guangxi, was demoted to Weiyuanwei. After that, in the fifth to eighth years of Zhengtong, and in the eighth to ninth year of Chenghua, a large number of well-educated Confucian scholars Wu Fang, Li Zuoxiu, and Huang Zan successively , Xia Yu, Yang Zhan, Wang Zhang, Bao Dehuai, Pan Hong, Wang Bin, Lu Ji, Shang Mian, and Chen Yan were relegated here one after another, but Weiyuan guards did not let them go to guard the border, but appointed them as Weiyuan guards. Professor of distance science.Because so many Jinshi came to teach, Weiyuan Wei School became more famous than Youyu Wei School. Nearby soldiers, wealthy people and ordinary people all sent their children to study, and finally even the children of Datong Prefecture also came to study.In the tenth year of orthodoxy, students Sun Xiang, Guo Ji and others passed the provincial examination. In April of the following year, Sun Xiang went to Beijing to take the exam and got on the list, becoming Youyu's first Jinshi. For this reason, Datong Prefecture specially established a Jinshi workshop for him in Datong City; Guo Ji In the second year of Jingtai, he became a Jinshi.In just ten years, two Jinshi, four Juren and countless scholars and endowed students have been cultivated.The deeds of Li Zuoxiu and others in establishing schools and educating people were recorded in "Datong Mansion Chronicle", "Yunzhong County Chronicle", "Shuoping Mansion Chronicle", and they will go down in history forever.

Because of this, the location of Weiyuan Fort in Youyu County is extremely important, and this is also an important basis for Jiang Guan to promote his convincing Huang Jinbiao as a general.

"This Weiyuan Fort is really good." Under the leadership of Zhang Gui, Li Xin led hundreds of people to Weiyuan Fort. Weiyuan Fort is extremely tall. Xin was shocked that there were many scholars here. You must know that although Shanxi produced many scholars, they were only found in big cities such as Datong and Taiyuan or in towns close to the Central Plains. Forts and other places are frontier towns with many military generals and few literati, but here, it is very strange to see scholars in twos and threes.

"Stop those who come." At this time, several people came galloping from a distance, but they were riding horses, wearing mandarin duck battle jackets, showing off their might, and they were extremely impressive. The leader was a young man with a silver gun in his hand. There is a gloomy and cold color in the middle, which makes people uncomfortable.

"It's Lu Cheng!" At this moment, Zhang Gui went up to meet him, cupped his hands and said, "Hey, is the garrison here? This time I'm here to discuss something with the garrison."

"What's the matter? Master Zhang? Who is this?" Lu Cheng suddenly looked at Li Xin, with a look of surprise on his face, more of a surprise.

"Hey! My family is unlucky, my family is unlucky, I am ashamed as a blind man." Blind Zhang looked up to the sky and sighed, and said, "He, he is my nephew, hey, now! Now he is also my son-in-law!"

"Son-in-law?" Lu Cheng's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, he looked at Zhang Juan's blushing face, and burst out laughing, then pointed at Zhang Gui and said, "Master Zhang, what's your role in leading the army here? !"

"Well, I want to temporarily place my little girl in Weiyuan Castle, but the road is not very peaceful now, so I let the brothers escort me here." Zhang Gui sighed: "I'm just afraid of being scolded by the guard, so I want to ask Brother Lu to report " Having said that, Zhang Gui took out a bank note from his bosom, approached Lu Cheng secretly and said, "What a misfortune for the family! I made you laugh."

"It's easy to say, easy to say." After hearing this, Lu Cheng nodded repeatedly, but his eyes wandered away, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Father-in-law, Juan'er is tired. Didn't you say that you have already bought a house in the city? From now on, Juan'er and I will live there temporarily." At this time, Li Xin rushed out with an arrogant look on his face.

"Sure enough, he's a pretty boy. No wonder he was able to hook up with Zhang Blind's daughter. Heh heh, Zhang's daughter was famous back then, and I don't know how many people wanted to come to ask for marriage. Even the chief soldier was alarmed. Now it seems , is not a good bird, actually Hong Xing came out of the wall. Hehe, this blind man probably has no face in Qijiahe Castle, sorry, I can only send my daughter and this kid to Weiyuan Castle." Lu Cheng saw it clearly, with a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth. He glanced at Li Xin, and finally his eyes fell on Zhang Juan. There was a glimmer of covetousness in his eyes. He thought to himself, "Put this guy in the In the castle, after Blind Zhang leaves, according to this kid's personality, I'm afraid he will cause trouble, and then find a way to teach him a lesson, and take this beautiful girl as his own. No matter how bad it is, enjoy it , Hand it over to the higher-ups, and I can get a lot of benefits. Seeing that Zhang Juan is also a flirtatious thing, she must be hooked soon." Thinking of this, a smile suddenly filled his face.

"Brother Zhang, what this little brother said is reasonable. You and I are colleagues. When each other catches cold, I think I don't know that Mr. Huang will soon be promoted to a guerrilla general. In the future, we will call Mr. Huang a general." " Lu Cheng laughed loudly and said: "Let's go, let's go into the city together." Lu Cheng laughed loudly, with a smug look on his face, if Huang Jinbiao was promoted to a guerrilla general, as his confidant Lu Cheng Will be lucky too.

"These followers of mine." Zhang Gui pointed at the soldiers behind him with some embarrassment.

"Everyone is a robe, let's go in!" Lu Cheng was thinking about how to hook Zhang Juan, how could he notice the difference in the soldiers behind Zhang Gui at this time, so he hurriedly called everyone in. city.

Zhang Gui nodded repeatedly after hearing this, but felt a lot more relaxed.Fraudulent city is a technical job, which is not something ordinary people can do, and fraudulent city is also facing danger.Especially while bringing my own daughter, but now it's half done.The rest depends on whether these people can guard the gate of the city.But I heard that Liao Guogong is brave, so I don't think there will be any major problems.

The city gate was getting closer and closer, and Zhang Gui's heart slowly lifted. Lu Cheng, who was walking in front, didn't notice all this. He had a smile on his face, and suddenly asked: "I don't know what happened to the little brother?" What's your name?"

"Me? My name is Li Xin." Li Xin glanced around and saw that he had arrived at the gate of the city. He greeted the surrounding guards and said with a smile.

"Li Xin? Hehe, this name is famous all over the world now! It is the same name as the Duke of Liao, hehe, but the Duke of Liao is the Duke of Liao, and you are you. That’s far away.” Lu Cheng shook his head with a smile and said.

"Really? If you say that, I should praise you more." Li Xin showed a strange smile on his face, and said, "No one has ever praised me in front of me, thank you."

"Ah! Really? Ah!" After hearing this, Lu Cheng's complexion changed, and he looked at Li Xin with horrified eyes. His eyes were full of disbelief. He pointed at Li Xin and said, "You, Duke of Liao?"

"Yes." Li Xin pointed out the spear in his hand, and Lu Cheng only felt a pain in his chest, but saw a blood-red spear point protruding from his chest.

"Kill!" Li Xin's eyes widened, he pulled out his spear, and stabbed a soldier next to him to death in an instant. With a loud cry, Zhang Gui on the side was already ready to go. When he heard Li Xin's order, he didn't even think about it. He drew out the treasured sword and hacked a soldier beside him to death.The soldiers behind Li Xin pulled out their weapons one after another, and slashed and killed the soldiers guarding the city gate. Although these soldiers were in the border areas, they rarely fought. In addition, Li Xin was caught off guard. Take precautions, he was killed in less than a moment.However, there was also a shrill sound from the top of the city. Obviously, the soldiers guarding the city had discovered that there was an enemy attack.

"Just hold on for a while." Li Xin ordered people to prepare for defense, and looked back, but saw smoke and dust rising into the sky in the distance. It was obvious that Hao Laosan led the army to kill him. As long as he persisted for a while, the army would Arrival, when the time comes, the overall situation will be locked.

In the city, in the garrison mansion, Huang Jinbiao had a proud expression on his face. In the border area, these forts are either for defense or for integrity. There are very few generals, but Weiyuan Fort is very important because there is an academy here , there are a lot of scholars, even the academies in Youyu County are not as good as here, such an important place, of course there must be a general, after some operations, the position of the general is about to fall into his own hands.As long as you become a general, your official position will be high.The rights will be there, and the money will naturally increase.Thinking of this, Huang Jinbiao looked excited.

However, his excitement didn't last long, and there were bursts of shrill voices, black smoke rising from the city in the distance, and faintly, there were bursts of shouts of killing.

"Enemy attack, where did the enemy attack come from at this time." Huang Jinbiao was surprised, but he still ordered people to rectify the soldiers and horses, and soon led a team of personal soldiers to kill the city gate.He saw that under the city gate, there was already a huge battlefield. Outside the city gate, hundreds of people were fighting. Among the enemies, he even recognized a familiar person.

"Blind Zhang, do you dare to rebel?" Huang Jinbiao roared angrily.

"The Duke of Liao led the army here, and those who are afraid of death should disperse quickly." Blind Zhang also ignored life and death at this time, and roared loudly at the city gate.

"What, Li Xin is here?" Huang Jinbiao, who had just prepared to fight the enemy bravely and drove the enemy out of Weiyuan City, changed his face drastically. He looked up, but saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance, and countless soldiers and horses coming to kill him. He was immediately frightened His face was pale, and he said to the soldiers beside him: "Let's go, hurry up, Li Xin and Zhengbei Army are here, I think Zuo Yun and Youyu have already failed, if you don't leave now, I'm afraid Li Xin will kill you." Gold After Biao finished speaking, he turned his horse's head, turned around and rushed to his mansion, preparing to take advantage of the time when his army resisted, packed up the gold and silver treasures, and fled.

At the city gate, although many soldiers of the Ming army came to kill one after another, there was no unified command. In addition, Li Xin and others defended properly, the Ming army could not break through Li Xin's defensive line at all, and many were killed. step back.

"The Northern Zheng army is here, get out of the way." At this time, there was a shout of killing, but it was Hao Laosan who led the army to kill, and thousands of cavalry rushed into the city in an instant. Where are the soldiers? The opponents also scattered in all directions.

"Weiyuan City is finally in my hands." Li Xin looked at the thousands of cavalry in front of him, with a look of relief on his face. Only when the troubles here became more ruthless, would Jiang Tuan be forced to send out troops and keep his soldiers and horses at bay. He was transferred from Datong and put into the battlefield of chasing and killing Li Xin, and then Jiang Yi had a chance.

Yang Zhenwei in Youyu County has not noticed the difference, because in the past two days, he has already felt the strength of the Zhengbei Army. He said that the Zhengbei Army is invincible in field battles, but it is quite powerful when attacking cities.Because the North Army had its own strategy for attacking the city, with cannons as the mainstay, the cavalry guarding the artillery, and the infantry expanding the results of the battle, it was no different from the Ming army attacking the city.Even his bravery was far higher than that of the Ming army, which put a lot of pressure on You Yucheng.Originally, he also wanted to imitate the appearance of his ancestors and ask Jiang Xuan to come from behind the Zhengbei army. Unfortunately, the news from Jiang Xuan said that Zuo Yun was also attacked, and Jiang Xuan did not dare to divide the troops.

"Damn it, how many soldiers and horses has this Li Xin dispatched? It's so crazy." Yang Zhenwei, who had been commanding the battle for a day, asked the maid to take off the armor on his body, and he sat on a chair in only a single shirt, and said viciously.Now he is not sure whether he can hold Youyu City. If Li Xin didn't have many cannons, Li Xin might have already captured Youyu City.

"General, there is a person outside who claims to be a scholar from Qijiahebao, and he has something important to see the general." At this time, a soldier came in cautiously and said.

"What's so good about a scholar? Tell him to go away." Yang Zhenwei sneered and said, "These guys boast that they are all Zhuge Liang, and that they can lead an army in battle, but they don't know that it's just us generals What they just did, they should be traveling in the mountains and rivers, reciting poems and composing poems is the right thing." Yang Zhenwei hates literati very much, if it weren't for Yang Sichang's strategy, he might have led the army to kill Hukou at this time, and he wouldn't have in this place now.

"He said he saw Li Xin's conquest of the Northern Army." The soldier said cautiously again: "He is the son-in-law of Zhang Blind."

"What, he is Zhang Blind's son-in-law? Did he see the Northern Army?" Yang Zhenwei suddenly changed his face, stood up abruptly, and said, "How could there be an army in Qijiahe Castle? Quick, quick, Let him in." Yang Zhenwei knew what it would mean if he found the Northern Army in Qijiahe Fort at this time.

After a while, I saw a man with the appearance of a scholar striding in, whoever it was, Qi Yunshan.I saw that he was dressed in white, but his face was full of dust.

"You are Zhang Blind's son-in-law, this general remembers you." Yang Zhenwei looked at Qiyun Mountain, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, showing a trace of disdain.This guy made a lot of noise in the city back then, and even Jiang Yan knew about this guy.But now it seems that it is nothing more than that.
