Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 708 Heavy Rain (Part [-])
The eunuch Chen Dakui got the position of supervising the army, but he spent a lot of money to get Cao Wenzhao here.

Without him, Cao Wenzhao can fight!

Among the credits for the entire pacification of Shaanxi, Cao Wenzhao is the first, Zhang Jiamo is the second, Wang Chengyin, Yang Qi, and He Huchen are the next.

Cao Wenzhao made the most meritorious deeds in dozens of games in Shaanxi, but Hong Chengchou did not credit him with merit.

Said it was to prevent him from being complacent, and when he was in Pingding Shanxi, he would discuss his merits together, and maybe he could also be named an earl or something.

Although the governors and censors all admired Cao Wenzhao very much, the Ministry of War did not reward him for his meritorious deeds.

Chen Dakui simply spent money and went straight to Cao Wenzhao, thinking of getting more credit for his work.

Asking for money is not the main purpose, but to establish a relationship between superiors and subordinates, so that Cao Wenzhao knows who to listen to.

Fortunately, Cao Wenzhao did not live up to Chen Dakui's expectations, and defeated the Eight Great Kings one after another, relying on his reputation to scare away Chuangshatian, kill Hunshiwang, and reunite with Hu Dawei.

Besides, he wiped out so many thieves, how can he have no money?
All the thieves and bandits in southern Shanxi were wiped out except King Gao Chuang.

Chen Dakui felt that he didn't get this money for nothing. If your immediate superior doesn't reward you for your contribution, no matter how good you are, it's useless.

Fortunately, I can write a memorial to Your Majesty, telling Your Majesty the great military exploits Cao Wenzhao made in Shanxi.

After finishing the gossip, Chen Dakui smiled and tried to make his voice more masculine.

"Cao Zongbing has a headache recently about food and grass?"

"Don't dare to deceive the supervisor, it is true."

"Don't worry, I've informed Your Majesty that you must accumulate food and grass to reward your troops wherever Cao Zongbing passes. I believe the edict will be issued soon."

Cao Wenzhao's eyes lit up, he never thought that there would be such an unexpected harvest, and immediately thanked Chen Dakui a thousand times.

"Cao Zongbing, I can't help you with the suppression of the bandits, but you have to remember, if you have finished your majesty's errand, hello, and me too."

After Chen Dakui finished speaking, he asked his personal eunuchs to carry the silver box and went out.

After the eunuch disappeared, Cao Bianjiao showed suspicion: "Master, is he trying to win you over?"

"It's better to win than to starve us."

Cao Wenzhao didn't refuse anyone who came, anyway, his contribution was suppressed, so it's not bad to have this direct way to Tianting.

This is a contest between civil servants and eunuchs, and has nothing to do with him.

"I'm taking my letter to Shaanxi and handing it over to Governor Hong. If the artillery doesn't arrive, it will be difficult to break through the heavy armored cavalry of the trespasser in a short time. The supervising army has been urging troops to be dispatched."

"Yes."

Yang Jiamo, who was second in meritorious service, but actually the first in meritorious service, finally got Hong Chengchou's shield supply first.

This thing is much easier to handle than artillery.

Today he summoned all the generals to discuss counterattack.

"Everyone, the strategy of arrogance we have set has already worked." Yang Jiamo said with a smile on his face:

"The thieves have relaxed their vigilance, and it is a good time for our army to charge and kill them."

Sun Shoufa and the others all showed doubts on their faces. The brothers had been sticking to the camp all the time. Seeing that the food supply was almost out of supply, the master was ready to attack.

This was too eager, but no one said anything, just waiting for Yang Jiamo to give an order.

"Guangen, tomorrow you will lead two thousand brothers to attack with thick shields. As long as you break through a car formation, the army will follow and swallow these bandits."

Bai Guangen stood up and took orders.

"Don't worry, the new governor of Yansui, Chen Qiyu, will send troops to attack Lin County to make the hammer bandits ignore each other."

After hearing this, everyone understood.

It turned out that Governor Hong had recruited enough ships and almost built weapons, so he wanted to put down Shanxi in one go.

Attacking back and forth, he must make him ignore each other from head to tail.

"Mr. Cao is a fierce man, but he was from the Guan Ning Army after all.

This group of Qin bandits came to Shanxi, no matter what, we have to wait for the Qin people to calm down before we can give His Majesty an explanation. "

After Yang Jiamo reminded everyone: "Today we will make meals at the fifth watch, and the whole army will have a full meal."

"Yes."

Lin County.

He Jinzhao stood by the Yellow River, wearing a coir raincoat, watching the river rush.

"My lord, the current is more turbulent than in previous years."

In the severe drought in the past few years, even the Yellow River couldn't stand it, and a large number of dry places appeared, revealing the traces of the past.

But now it's really not the case.

"My lord, it is specified that it is raining heavily in Mongolia." After finishing speaking, Ji Gui added:
"There is still no movement from the officers and soldiers outside Mengmen Pass. I have transferred two battalions to cooperate in robbing wheat, leaving only one battalion of Mrs. Guo to garrison."

"Will the Yellow River burst its banks?"

"It's hard to say, it's very likely that the embankment will burst." Ji Gui pinched his beard and recalled:
"During the Tianqi years, the dikes broke many times, that is, the droughts every year in the past two years, people forget this."

"Mengmenguan is too close to the ferry, and the terrain is low, so it is easy to be washed away."

He Jinzhao looked at the turbulent water of the Yellow River: "Withdraw two brigades and come back to cut wheat together, forget it, time is tight, ask Mrs. Guo to lead a squadron to guard the border.

Put more flags, if the government and army come to attack, avoid the battle, once the Yellow River breaks its embankment, run to Mengmen Mountain to escape.

It doesn't matter if Mengmenguan is lost, let the officers and soldiers come to the county along the Qiushui, lengthen their team, and just get them after harvesting the wheat. "

He Jinzhao originally planned to eat up this group of officers and soldiers as well, but after a severe drought and heavy rain, it really failed.

"clear."

"The lord put all the soldiers and auxiliary soldiers into the ranks of harvesting wheat. With so many young and strong people joining, our loss will not be too great."

Ji Gui pinched his beard and laughed: "On the contrary, the officers and soldiers are sitting on the mountain, and they can't beat us."

He Jinzhao took an umbrella and headed back to Lin County by himself, only the cut roots remained in the surrounding wheat fields.

Many old people and young children were picking wheat ears in the fields while the rain was light.

After all, it takes about a year for everyone to have a full stomach, and the ears of wheat must not be wasted.

The good houses of the landlords in the village have been sold out, and the common people are thresh wheat inside. Who will let them have everything in their homes?

When He Jinzhao entered the village, except for the guards around the arsenal, all the temporary rooms were set up.

Mrs. Guo, who was guarding Mengmen Pass, received the commander's order, and naturally responded loudly, calling for the squadron leader under her command, and asked people to draw lots to keep the first team.

Mrs. Guo breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the people wearing coir raincoats rushing to Lin County.

He stood at the gate of the gate, looking at the Yellow River, feeling very scared in his heart.

I'm afraid that Jiaolong will get angry and roll up the Yellow River all at once, and destroy the Mengmen pass that he guards.

This kind of disaster is far from being able to win and make up for it.

Fortunately, the commander-in-chief didn't order to guard the gate of Mengmen, otherwise the brothers would be in a state of turmoil.

Even Yang Jiamo, who was determined, had to cancel the military operation after it rained at night.

Because according to this kind of weather, the hammer bandits will not send troops, and their firecrackers and artillery will be seriously affected.

Yang Jiamo watched the soldiers under his command poke the rainwater gathered on the tent, and cursed:
"My god, if it doesn't rain, it won't stop raining."
