Chapter 26 Shanhaiguan Incident

Since Dong Xiaowan left, Li Xin has been caught in an endless busy schedule. He has no one to help him. Although Jiang Yi, Yang Xiong and others are experts in military training, they are not experts in governance. Do.It is also fortunate that these laborers are honest people, facing Li Xin's sugar-coated shells, they all surrender to it, and work much faster.Daling River City is also changing every day, growing at a speed that is almost visible to the naked eye.

"My lord, Mr. Qiu sent a letter saying that soon, another group of prisoners will be sent here." That day, Li Xin was carefully calculating how much money he still had, when Jiang Yi strode in and said.

"It's actually the same whether you come or not." Li Xin shook his head and said, "You can't add much strength if you come. I'm afraid it's impossible to repair the city before Donglu goes south."

Jiang Yi remained silent.They train soldiers every day as He Kegangsuo said, and it is indeed very effective, but they train soldiers in this way, and now they will gain something every day, from losing five people at one time to winning now.It can be said that the combat effectiveness of Li Xin's cavalry has greatly increased, but that's it, Li Xin does not have any complacency.Because until now, the number of Donglu cavalry encountered every day has become more and more frequent.

"This Zu Dashou is still a little bit capable. I think he knew something wrong recently. The Guanning cavalry around him has also been dispatched, and they are all around the scouting cavalry. They will be eaten by the Eastern captives without even bones." Li Xin said to himself. Then he raised his head and asked, "How does your current cavalry compare with Guan Ning's cavalry?"

"It's not much difference, but if we talk about ruthlessness, I'm afraid we are more ruthless than them." Jiang Yi showed a trace of confidence on his face.These people are different from Guan Ning's iron cavalry. The most important thing for Li Xin's cavalry is ruthlessness. They don't care about humanity. As long as there are enemies, they will swarm them.

"I'm afraid the war is coming soon." Li Xin said softly.

"My lord, do you want to select a batch from those laborers to fill our army? Recently, my subordinates have found a few good seedlings. Anyway, Dalinghe City will be successfully built in a few days." Jiang Yi asked.

"Let's get in touch temporarily, ask them if they are interested, and take them away when the big war comes." Li Xin thought about it and gave up this tempting idea. At this time, recruiting troops is to give Zu Dashou a tongue, so Zu Dashou may Now I want to take my own cavalry as my own.

"My subordinate is afraid that I won't be able to take many people out!" Jiang Yi rolled his eyes, and suddenly walked up to Li Xin and said softly, "My lord, my subordinate has a good way to help you."

"What way?" Li Xin asked curiously.

"My lord, you see that there are more than ten thousand people on the construction site. It is very difficult to count so many people one by one. My lord, why don't you choose a group of people from there now, bring one or two people with you every day, and then send them Send them to the valley, we will keep people there to train them, and at a certain time, we will be able to use them. Hehe, my lord. If you want to send a few people this day, no one else will notice." Jiang Yi said with a smile: "I won't pay attention to Zu's birthday."

"Yes, this method is not bad." Li Xin nodded, and said, "I'm afraid that's not the case. We have to find a way. Make it more similar. Put these people in a camp alone, and bring them out quietly at night. It was only taken away the next day. Anyway, the Dalinghe City has almost been built. It doesn’t matter how few people there are.”

"My lord is Shengming." Jiang Yi was overjoyed.

"Jiang Yi, you are an upright person, I'm afraid you didn't come up with this idea!" Li Xin suddenly realized, pointing to Jiang Yi and said, "Yang Xiong is the only one who can come up with such an unreliable idea and use such cunning methods."

"Hey, Lord Shengming." Jiang Yi also admitted: "Yang Xiong is looking for an opportunity to attack, but he dare not lie to the Lord, so he asked his subordinates to test the Lord."

"Okay, okay, I also know that you are also doing it for my own good." Li Xin nodded and said: "I'm afraid this time is going to be a critical time, so be careful, order someone to go to Jinzhou immediately, see Qiu Hejia , Ask him for weapons. Then transport them to the valley. We are in the city, so what can we do to help us, but once we leave the city, we need to get the weapons ourselves.”

"Yes, this subordinate will do it now." Jiang Yi hurriedly retreated.

And at this moment, in Zu Dashou's mansion, He Kegang and others also appeared in it, except for He Kegang, the faces of the others all showed joy.

"Everyone, according to what Li Xin said, Dalinghe City will be completed within three days. At that time, I, Da Ming, will add another barrier to the east of Jinzhou to protect Jinzhou and the corner of Jinzhou City. No matter how many soldiers and horses there are from the East , can't shake us at all." Zu Dashou said triumphantly.

"This scholar is really good, he has a lot of ideas!" Wu Xiang also said with a smile: "In this case, the final general will go to Jinzhou, tell the Master Supervisor, let him send troops to garrison."

"Okay. General Wu can go on his own." Zu Dashou also nodded, and said: "We may not be able to defend Dalinghe City with more than [-] Guanning cavalry. More troops are needed to conquer Dalinghe." The city is like a nail, nailed here, so that Donglu can't eat it if he wants to eat it. If he doesn't eat it, he will feel uncomfortable."

"The commander-in-chief is right." Everyone shouted.

"General Wu has to go and come back quickly. Recently, there are more and more jars from Donglu, and they are more and more frequent. I'm afraid Donglu will be suspected of sending troops." He Kegang spoke at this time.

When Zu Dashou heard the words, his complexion suddenly became ugly, but after thinking about it, he didn't stop He Kegang, but said to Wu Xiang: "What General He said is true, you should go and go back quickly! To avoid that, the Eastern Captives It’s really coming, our army is not strong enough, so we can’t defend Dalinghe City.”

"Father Commander, Dalinghe City has tens of thousands of elite soldiers. Why do you say that Dalinghe City can't be defended?" But a young general glanced at He Kegang in dissatisfaction, cupped his hands and said, "Father Commander, this In Dalinghe City, there are more than ten thousand laborers. These white and fat people raised by Li Xin are all in a top role in their work. If these people are incorporated into the army and trained a little, they must be one Elite soldiers. With the existence of these people, how can it be said that the defense force is insufficient.”

"Yes, yes." Wu Xiang and others also praised.

"Also, the general also heard that the governor's guard has gained a lot recently. It is rumored that their combat effectiveness is far higher than my Guanning iron cavalry. Why not take this guard into Guanning for the time being at the Wendu division's office? Among the Ning Iron Cavalry, supplement the strength of Guan Ning Iron Cavalry, and return it when the world is peaceful in the future." Zu Zerun said with a smile.As soon as everyone heard the words, everyone just laughed at the guard in Li Xin's hands. I had Guan Ning's iron cavalry in hand, so how could I care about such a cavalry? But recently, this guard has finally entered everyone's hands. It's clear, because they are not under Guan Ning's iron cavalry every time they win. It's just that these hundreds of people are few in number and can't play a big role. Can play a little role.

He Kegang sighed on the side, he knew that the guards looked like Qiu Hejia's guards, but in fact, they were Li Xin's private cavalry. Hand over your own guard to Zu Dashou to command. The temporary command that Zu Zerun said just now is just a nice way of saying it.If these people are not exhausted, this cavalry will not be returned to Li Xin.But at this time, he couldn't say anything.

As soon as Zu Zerun heard everyone's agreement, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.He sneered in his heart and said: "Li Xin, Li Xin, this time I think you are going to lose your wife and lose your army. En! Thinking about it, the little lady is already close to Shanhaiguan at this time. I don't know if my cousin intercepted her It's a pity that such a beautiful lady let her cousin get her hands first, no, I will ask my cousin later." Zu Zerun rolled his eyes.

At this moment, outside Shanhaiguan, a group of cavalry was walking slowly, and a small carriage among the cavalry was slowly heading towards Shanhaiguan.The leading general is tall and strong, with a resolute complexion.Who is it if not Zhao Guang?

"Stop, where are you?" As soon as the crowd arrived at the city gate, they saw someone stepping forward to stop them.

"You dare to stop the family members of Master Qiu, Governor of Liaodong." Zhao Guang took out a customs document from his arms, raised it, and snorted coldly: "Not yet."

"The family members of the Governor of Liaodong?" The soldier was stunned when he heard the words, and scanned the surroundings. Finally, a man with the appearance of a small flag came over and took Zhao Guang's customs defense document, and saw that it was Qiu Hejia's big seal printed on it.Suddenly a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.Subconsciously glanced overhead.

Zhao Guang also looked along, but saw a young general standing on the Shanhai Pass at some point, tall and firm, Zhao Guang was taken aback when he saw this, although he didn't know the name of the young general, but he could tell Come out, this person is probably a master.

"Who is it? He's working on Mr. Qiu's defense?" The young general saw that he had been exposed, so he went down the tower immediately, and saw him riding a dark horse, walking slowly, and glanced at Zhao Guang.Said: "As far as I know, Mr. Qiu came to Liaodong alone, without any family members accompanying him. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to say that it's Mr. Qiu's family members!"

"My young wife is Governor Qiu's niece. This time the master died of illness in Shanhaiguan, and he wants to help the spirit return to his hometown. Master Qiu specially issued this customs clearance document. Isn't this the customs clearance document of Lord Qiu?" Zhao Guang drove immediately Before, said softly.

"Hmph! How do I know if this is Mr. Qiu's relatives? Maybe it's a gangster here." The young general's face changed, and he snorted coldly: "Get out of the way, this Shanhaiguan is an important place for the court. Everyone has to check."

"You, my young wife is a female family member, so it's inconvenient to check." Zhao Guang changed his words and said dissatisfiedly: "This Lord Qiu is also an official of the court, and we are the personal guards of the governor's yamen? Do we also need to check? "

"Don't tell me it's your personal guards? Even if the governor is here, you have to dismount here?" The young general showed a trace of ferocity on his face, and said with a sneer: "You also know that there are many bandits outside the pass. Is it a personal guard or a horse bandit or something? I intercepted the lady of the official family so that I could take the opportunity to enter the customs! In that case, please come down and confront the lady."

"Who on earth are you that offend Lord Qiu's family?" Zhao Guang blushed, pointed at the general and said, "Be careful, I will report to the superior and dismiss you from the military."

"Hehe! Dare to threaten this general. Then I will tell you, this general is Liaodong Wu Sangui, and my father is Liaodong regiment training commander Wu Xiang." The young general drew out a long knife from his waist, pointed at Zhao Guang and said: "In this Shanhaiguan, no matter what you Who is it? Come down and check."

"You?" Zhao Guang became angry.

"Brother Zhao, since he wants to check, let him do it!" At this time, a soft voice came to everyone's ears, and the surroundings were instantly silent.Wu Nong spoke softly, softly and softly. As soon as Dong Xiaowan's voice came out, the vulgar men around fell silent.They stared at the carriage with wide eyes.

"Ma'am?" Zhao Guang became anxious now.

"Haha, it's still the young lady who understands righteousness." Wu Sangui laughed loudly.

"Wu Sangui, if you are humiliated today, someone will tear you to pieces in the future." Zhao Guang's tiger eyes lit up, staring at Wu Sangui firmly.

"I will act according to the rules. Even if your Majesty comes down, I can't do anything to you." Wu Sangui said coldly, but his eyes were fixed on the car door.

"I've met the general." At this time, he stepped out of the car door in a snow-white mourning dress, and bowed respectfully to Wu Sangui.

Seeing this, Wu Sangui couldn't help taking a deep breath. Although he couldn't see Dong Xiaowan's appearance, he could see Dong Xiaowan's exquisite body and beautiful hair, like a dark cloud setting sun, with a very attractive fragrance, confusing the surroundings for several feet, bowing his head between , the snow-white skin between the neck and neck is clearly visible, and the pink earlobes make people want to kiss.

"Young Madam, you don't need to be too polite, Young Madam." Wu Sangui was already fascinated at this time, the so-called women should be pretty and filial.This Dong Xiaowan was already beautiful, and with a filial piety dress, she looked even more charming. Wu Sangui only felt a flame rising from his lower abdomen, and couldn't help saying: "Young Madam, please raise your head."

"Wu Sangui, you are so brave." Zhao Guang finally couldn't bear it anymore, the spear in his hand was like lightning, with dots of cold stars flashing, all of which shone on Wu Sangui.

That Wu Sangui was also a master, he lost his soul when he saw this, he didn't even think of beauty, he drew out the long knife in his hand instantly, curled up a burst of blades, and protected it in front of him.He only heard the sound of gold and iron clanging, and finally felt a chill on his neck, so he had no choice but to put down the long knife in his hand.His skills were not as good as Zhao Guang's, and he was in a hurry, so he was not Zhao Guang's opponent.

"You want to kill me?" Wu Sangui looked at Zhao Guang with a half-smile, raised the long knife in his hand, his expression changed, but he saw that his hundred-refined fine steel long knife was full of cracks at the moment, and several bullet holes could be seen faintly on top.

"As far as your martial arts are showing your shame, if my son does it again, you won't even have a chance to stop him." Zhao Guang glanced around disdainfully, and said, "You are all soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. If you spread the word, you people will be cast aside by the whole world."

Many soldiers around looked at each other when they heard the words, and put down the weapons in their hands one after another. Not to mention that Wu Sangui was still in Zhao Guang's hands, it was said that the matter of bullying a weak woman wearing Xiao was indeed what Zhao Guang said. , once spread out, I'm afraid it will be ridiculed by the people of the world.Even Wu Sangui showed a hint of embarrassment on his face.

"I let you go, but you can't blackmail me like this. You're blackmailing the imperial court official." Wu Sangui said coldly.

"You bully even a weak woman. How can I, Zhao Guang, trust you? What's more, we have Lord Qiu's defense document. You don't even care about this, so why should I care about it? I want to see if it is spread out. You are unlucky or I am unlucky." Zhao Guang widened his eyes and looked at Wu Sangui coldly.A look of disdain appeared on the corner of his mouth.This matter is related to Dong Xiaowan's safety, Zhao Guang dare not do so lightly.

"I'm just a Shanhaiguan general. If you threaten me like this, I'm afraid it won't work." The embarrassment flashed across Wu Sangui's face.Sweeping to the side, there is a lovely and charming face oncoming, and the almond eyes are full of sadness at the moment.It made Wu Sangui's heart skip a beat, but at the moment he was helpless.

"If you were an ordinary general, I wouldn't take it seriously, but you are Wu Xiang's son and Zu Dashou's nephew, so I don't believe that your identity has no role in Shanhaiguan." Zhao Guang But he was not stupid, and said coldly: "Order the switch to let people go, hum, someone will come to you to settle this matter in the future, if you bully the Liaodong governor's family like this, even your superior will not be able to protect you." Zhao Guangsao Glancing around, he suddenly saw a red tassel on the door flashing away, and the corner of his mouth suddenly showed a gloomy look.

"Okay, okay." Wu Sangui waited for a long time, saw no one came out to speak, how could he not know what the situation was, he had no choice but to wave his hand to let the people around him let him go.Zhao Guang didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly ordered people to escort Dong Xiaowan out of Shanhaiguan, found Yizhuang, and the Dong family's villain who was waiting there pulled Dong Fusheng's coffin and walked along the official road towards Beijing.

"My friend, now that you're out of Shanhaiguan, you should let go!" Wu Sangui was ashamed and angry. Once upon a time, someone pointed a spear at his neck for an hour.

"We'll talk about it after fifty miles from Shanhaiguan." Zhao Guang was not fooled, and sneered.

"Brother Zhao, you are a hero. How can such a person be a servant? Why don't you join my Guan Ning Army and I will guarantee your wealth in the future?" Wu Sangui rolled his eyes and couldn't help persuading him.

"Just you?" Zhao Guang glanced at Wu Sangui disdainfully, and said, "If you can reach half of my lordship, I will follow you."

"Just that old man Qiu Hejia?" Wu Sangui laughed dumbfounded.

"How can a Qiu Hejia make me, Zhao Guang, surrender?" Zhao Guang said disdainfully, "My lord is Huaian Li Xin, Wu Sangui, you have to remember."

"Huai'an Li Xin? Who is he? What qualifications do you have to have such a beautiful woman, and what qualifications do you have to have such a strong general following you?" Dong Xiaowan and his party had already passed fifty miles away from Shanhaiguan, and Zhao Guang released Wu Sangui according to the agreement.But Wu Sangui was in his mind, thinking of Dong Xiaowan's figure, which he could not forget for a long time.
