Blood from Daming

Chapter 660
When Cao Wenzhao's uncle and nephew arrived at the east gate of Datong City, Xue Liu led [-] cavalry and [-] firearms soldiers to Heyangmen, and ordered a cavalry to enter Yuecheng. According to Ning Guo's talk, Xue Liuqing clearly grasped the situation of Ying'en Gate through Fei Qianzong and Liang Shenjiang's subordinates.

Xue Liu's original intention was to delay Cao's nephew and uncle, and then he came forward to talk to Cao Wenzhao. Unexpectedly, Mr. Fei Qian was very hot. As soon as he came up, his bows and arrows were facing each other. The two sides immediately became a stalemate. It is impossible for Cao Wenzhao's uncle and nephew to attack In Datong City, Xue Liu will be very embarrassed if their uncles and nephews are desperate to make troubles outside the city.

However, Xue Liu did not believe that Cao Wenzhao rushed to attack the city in Datong Town. If Cao Wenzhao did this, Xue Liu could justifiably wipe out his uncle and nephew, and Cao Wenzhao's uncle and nephew could not explain to the court. I believe that Cao Wenzhao's uncle and nephew will still make suggestions to Xue Jiajun, and Xue Liu doesn't mind letting Cao's nephew and uncle blow the cold wind all night.

In this way, Xue Liu asked Cao Wenzhao's uncle and nephew to stay outside Datong City overnight, and did not climb up the gate tower of Ying'en Gate until the end of the next day. Xue Liu asked Fei Qian about the situation, and Fei Qian told Xue The Sixth General reported that Cao Wenzhao's cavalry outside the city gate lacked tents, and a bonfire was lit last night, and everyone huddled together for the night, and just had breakfast.

Xue Liu looked at the fatigue of Cao Wenzhao's department, and couldn't help but feel a little bit of pleasure in his heart. This Datong City was created by the Xue family's hard work. It's your turn to pick up the bargain with Cao's uncle and nephew, but Datong City can't just be closed like this Let alone who is afraid of whom, it is the daily life of ordinary people, and the city gate is not allowed to be closed for a long time. If it is possible today, Xue Liu is going to meet Cao Wenzhao for a while.

Cao Wenzhao was aggrieved last night. If it wasn’t for the warm weather in Datong in July, and basically no Cao’s army with tents, I’m afraid they wouldn’t be standing here like this. Even so, the soldiers were still sleepy. Limp and not much energy.

His nephew Cao Bianjiao proposed to attack the surrounding villages of Datong City, so that some troops could be recruited, and Cao’s army could get enough food and supplies. They could rely on these villages to confront Xue’s army for a long time, and came to a small town to surround Datong City and trap Xue’s army. Died in the city of Datong.

Cao Wenzhao thought about it and still felt it was inappropriate. The nephew's move might be feasible against the weak court officials. The Xue family army is a fierce tiger. If he attacked the imperial city with the imperial soldiers and horses, wouldn't this give the Xue family army a handle? strength, determined to take the opportunity to suppress, the Cao family's 3000 troops may not be able to get out of Datong Mansion.

Cao Bianjiao was very dissatisfied, but Cao Wenzhao had heard from his colleagues that Xue Polu fought against Hongluoshan. Xue's army later made great achievements in Liaodong. Cao Wenzhao has also seen it several times, especially the Xue's army's firearms are very sharp. Ask yourself With the same strength, Cao's army has no chance of winning. When it meets Xue's army's master, its strength is naturally superior.

Cao Wenzhao didn't accept his nephew's bad idea. What he thought in his mind was to take advantage of Xue Yun's avoidance to defeat the other generals of the Xue family army under the city of Datong, destroy the prestige of the Xue family army, and then take advantage of the victory to pursue and enter the city of Datong. At that time, the Xue family could not help but become the dominant branch in Datong City.

So Cao Wenzhao, who had had breakfast, relied on his high martial arts skills, and asked Xue Jiajun to come out to fight in front of Ying'en Gate. Don't hide in the city of Datong and be a shrinking turtle, come out of the city to compete.

Xue Liuxin said that Cao Wenzhao was indeed in the young master's calculations, thinking that with his martial arts, he could win the championship in Datong City, and then entered Datong City without bloodshed, but the young master had already made a plan, which was to use martial arts competitions to avoid bloodshed The way to go Cao Wenzhao uncle and nephew.

Xue Liu asked Wang Erwa to speak up, and Wang Erwa exposed herself on the wall of Ying'en Gate and said to Cao Wenzhao, "Hey, what are you doing yelling under the city?"

Cao Wenzhao looked up and saw that it was an officer of the Ming army who was speaking. Cao Wenzhao finally met someone who was willing to talk to him and said: "This general is the commander-in-chief of Datong Town ordered by the imperial court. Why don't you open the door to greet him quickly? Are you going to disobey the imperial court's will?"

Wang Erwa sneered and said: "What imperial decree is it? It's a disorderly order. My general is appointed by the current emperor. Now that the emperor is seriously ill, you are colluding with each other and attempting to seize military power. Do you want to rebel?"

Cao Wenzhao was refuted by Wang Erwa, and he was suspected of being a traitor. Cao Wenzhao was so angry that he shouted loudly: "Don't mess around, this commander-in-chief was appointed by order, and you disobey the order. If there is a rebellion, whoever opens the city gate, the commander-in-chief will not hesitate to reward."

Wang Erwa said: "What you said is useless. A small guerrilla, relying on that traitor Yuan Chonghuan, wants to come to Datong to take advantage of it. Even if Yuan Chonghuan comes in person, this general will give him three knives and six holes before he will give up. "

Cao Wenzhao was told by Wang Erwa that he had a heart attack. Yuan Chonghuan was indeed the one who fought hard to come here as his chief soldier. It is best to use it for your own use, otherwise you should capture the thief and capture the king first to avoid future troubles. What Yuan Chonghuan cares most about is to get the secrets of Xue's army's firearms. This is also the most important task Yuan Chonghuan entrusted to Cao Wenzhao.

Cao Wenzhao said: "Anyway, you General Xue Yun is only a deputy, and this general soldier's appointment as a principal has nothing to do with him. It is better for you to open the city as soon as possible, so as not to delay your own future."

Wang Erwa shouted: "My general is the Imperial Forest Army who leads a thousand households of Jinyiwei and the imperial patrol envoy to hunt on behalf of the sky. Unless you have the emperor's handwriting to release my general from hunting on behalf of the sky, otherwise you will give and receive privately, or Come and go wherever you come from."

Cao Wenzhao thought that there are quite a few titles for Xue Yun. When he came from the capital, he only said that Xue Yun was seriously ill. With Pu's support, Xue Yun came back to life again. He was still ordered to patrol the sky on behalf of the sky. How could he have the emperor's will? This was clearly pushed into the kang by Yuan Chonghuan. If it wasn't already on the line, Cao Wenzhao couldn't afford to lose this People, maybe turn around and leave this place of right and wrong.

Cao Wenzhao thought of this and said: "Since we all say that the public is right and the woman is right, why don't we see the truth on the sword and gun, and the winner is the king. I, Cao, win, and your Xue family will open the city gate to win." When the general enters the city, if Cao loses, he will leave immediately and let your Xue family become the king in Datong City."

Cao Wenzhao couldn't enter the city, so he decided to put all his eggs in one basket and compete with Xue Jiajun. If Xue Jiajun refused to agree, he would lose face in the whole Datong City. The morale of Xue Jiajun was beaten down, and the officers and soldiers of Datong Town would no longer be monolithic. If the Xue family army agreed to the martial arts competition, besides Xue Yun, Cao Wenzhao could not think of any generals who could be his opponents.

At this time, Wang Erwa from the city spoke up: "With your three-legged cat skills, you dare to show off your power in the city of Datong. You are the one who loses, so don't play tricks."

Cao Wenzhao was amused when he heard it, and the officer fell into the urn, so he shouted loudly: "This general will do what he says, I don't know if you can do it."

Wang Erwa said: "Ben Qian always dares to speak, so he can be the master, so how do you compare it?"

Cao Wenzhao said proudly: "As long as someone in your Xue family army wins the iron spear in the general's hand, the general will immediately lead the troops to leave Datong. If the general wins by chance, please ask the Xue family army to open the gate of Ying'en Gate and welcome the general into the city." Cheng took up the post of commander-in-chief of Datong Town."

Wang Erwa said: "Okay, according to your wishes, the Xue family army will compete with you to win the commander at noon."

Cao Wenzhao wanted to ask questions again, but there was no voice at the gate of Yingen, so Cao Wenzhao had to go back to the horse formation, dismounted and rested to wait for the noon battle. Cao Bianjiao stepped forward to propose a substitute battle to his uncle. Cao Wenzhao thought it was just to be on the safe side , it is more reliable to go into battle by yourself, so he politely declined Cao Bianjiao's request to go into battle for him.

Cao Wenzhao has been recuperating in the shade of the army. When it was almost noon, a lot of big umbrellas were opened on the gate of Ying'en, and there were obviously more people in Lu Qiang. Cao Wenzhao looked at it and saw that there were many people exposed They were dressed as scribes, and some people wore official hats. They should be officials and gentry in Datong City, who came to see him compete with Xue's army to win the commander.

Cao Wenzhao is so angry, where is the loyalty of these officials and gentry in Datong Town? The operation in Datong City is very solid, and it is really very difficult for me to grab it.

Just after noon, the gate of Ying'en slowly opened, and a group of cavalry came out in a file. The team was dispatched for more than a quarter of an hour. Cao Wenzhao counted the number of people, and a total of [-] cavalry and [-] infantry came out. That posture was one of the best soldiers in Ming Dynasty, and the infantry was undoubtedly the firearms soldiers of the Xue family army. This lineup made Cao Wenzhao feel that there was no chance to take advantage of it.

Cao Wenzhao ordered his soldiers to line up, and then slowly moved towards the formation of Xue's army. The two armies stood at a distance of [-] steps. Two generals came out from the formation of Xue's army. In front of them, after more than [-] steps each, the two sides reined in their horses together at a distance of [-] steps.

Cao Wenzhao recognized Mr. Qian who was talking to him earlier. Although the master didn’t know him, he wasn’t the lieutenant general Xue Yun. He should be Xue Liu, the general who presided over Datong Town for a long time. However, Cao Wenzhao still spoke to make sure. The identity of the other party: "The general will pass the name."
