Lao Huihui and others followed the tactics of the head coach. They fought if they could beat them, and ran away if they couldn't.

Shanxi Governor Xu Dingchen walked to Northern Zhili with Mao soldiers who had expanded to two thousand people, and then he received news that the bandits fled to Henan.

Except for Lu Xiangsheng who continued to defend, the rest of the troops were transferred back.

This time, Xu Dingchen was so angry that he brought his own food and grass. Before he could get the food to be allocated to the destination, he was asked to return.

In desperation, he had to ask the counties to provide food along the way to prevent the army from entering the city from causing bad effects.

Fortunately, the person who led the team was a civil servant. If he was a military general, those magistrates would not take you seriously.

When Xu Dingchen was working alone, he took a vain trip back to Fanzhi County.

Hearing that the Hammer Bandits were besieging Yanmen Pass, Yang Wenyue, the new Shanxi left governor, was leading his army to resist, so he hurriedly led his troops to support him.

After receiving the notice, the Hammer Bandit did not know the reality of Yanmen Pass, and called Jiang Xiang, deputy general of Datong Town, to assist in the defense.

Xu Dingchen then felt at ease. In any case, Jiang Xiang was still a man who could fight. Their brothers defeated the invading Mongolians several times and beheaded a lot.

"I've been working hard for the governor Yang Zuo during this period."

Xu Dingchen had a smile on his face. He believed that his suspicious plan would make He Jinchao deterred and dare not come here easily.

That's why he dared to respond to the imperial edict to support Beizhili, thinking about some affection, and Lu Xiangsheng would also come to support himself.

So what if the cannons on the city wall cannot be fired?

The thief doesn't know.

It's dense, just be able to scare people!

But Yang Wenyue was not much better. He was afraid that the Hammer Bandits would suddenly attack and lead to the loss of Yanmen Pass these days.

Therefore, he couldn't sleep well and couldn't eat well. He lost several pounds. Fortunately, Jiang Xiang led his troops to sleep peacefully.

I believe the hammer bandit He Jinchao was also very cautious and did not easily believe the words of those defected soldiers. In addition, the Shaanxi government army achieved good results in southern Shanxi.

He would not choose to go to war at the same time as the north and the south.

When Yang Wenyue saw that Xu Dingchen was also looking calm and gentle, he couldn't help but feel angry:

"Governor Xu, there are no defensive troops in Yanmen Pass City, and there are only two counties left in Shanxi. What courage do you have to take your elite troops out of here to support Beizhili?

I heard from Your Majesty that your memorial said that Shanxi is in good condition and that the hammer bandits were suppressed, but this is how it was "suppressed"?

If the bandits are trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain, you are all attracted to Henan by him. The hammer bandit He Jinchao broke through Yanmen Pass and entered Beijing all the way east, which disturbed His Majesty. You are not easy to explain!"

Jiang Xiang, deputy general of Datong Town, immediately picked up the tea and drank it. Now that it was gone, another senior official from Shanxi who wanted to do his job well.

I just don’t know which of these two is better?

If Yang Wenyue had the same dragon and phoenix chick as Xu Dingchen, the remaining two counties in the government would not be in their hands.

Jiang Xiang raised his eyebrows slightly and happened to watch the show. At the right time, he urged them to have a big fight, so that the soldiers guarding the gates below could do things better.

Xu Dingchen was also very unhappy when he was asked aggressively as soon as Yang Wenyue came up, and he had already made arrangements.

But you came to mobilize troops to reinforce, and you seemed very guilty and suddenly you were afraid of the Hammer Bandit.

"Don't worry, Lord Yang, I have already arranged the defense of Yanmen Pass."

"What a good person who has already made arrangements." Yang Wenyue stood up suddenly:

"I heard that the Yanmen Pass guards had been owed more than half a year and many people were frozen to death in winter, and even artillery could not be fired.

Lord Xu occupied the entire gold mine and did not pay taxes, so he had no money to pay wages to his subordinates?"

"Impossible." Xu Dingchen immediately stood up and said, "Yanmen Pass is the place where I focus on management. Where is Zhang Xin?"

The guard beside him was sweating coldly on his face and immediately knelt on one knee: "I'm here."

"Tell the Zuo Gongshu, did this official send you money and food last year?"

"Send it."

Yang Wenyue suddenly stood up and pointed at him and said, "Didn't you tell me personally? Didn't you send me a message?"

"I have never said these words."

Xu Dingchen snorted, which made Yang Wenyue shaky. He was actually deceived by the people below?

However, he visited many soldiers, but none of them paid any salary.

"So, you are cheating on Lord Yang, who instructed you to do this?"

Jiang Xiang handed a knife next to him.

Zhang Xin immediately called Tianqu and said that it was not easy for Lord Xu to maintain the life of the soldiers here.

"Then how do you explain that you have defected to half of the people?" Yang Wenyue sat on the chair and quickly adjusted his condition.

"The Hammer Bandit is so vicious." Zhang Xin gritted his teeth and said.

"How are they vicious?"

"The hammer bandits ate rice for the families of the defected soldiers, and gave meat to them, and paid for their work!"

"What's the matter?" Xu Dingchen and Yang Wenyue looked unbelievable. This is called vicious?

However, Jiang Xiang choked her throat by the stimulating tea and kept coughing.

Compared with the treatment of the families of the Ming Dynasty's official army, it has to be said that the method of the Hammer Bandits is too vicious!

However, Jiang Xiang admired He Jinchao, who was willing to spend money, not only did the mutton provided by the Mongolians.

I heard that many chicken, duck and goose farms have been opened in the Luliang Mountains and primary schools in various villages and towns to provide additional meals for soldiers and students.

These poultry farms are also quite far apart, so as not to involve a large area due to chicken plague and other things.

Most of Shanxi provinces, not to mention that they were managed in an orderly manner, people died in winter.

But I haven't heard of many people who starve to death, as most of them are the elderly who can't survive the winter.

To be honest, if He Jinchao sent troops to occupy Datong, Yulin and other places, he would have surrendered long ago.

After all, my family and my family are in these two places. If you rashly change your camp, you will probably implicate your family.

Two high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty were speechless by their subordinates.

Even though Xu Dingchen asked himself, he rewarded his men with great rewards, but the families of these people would not be treated as good as those of the hammer bandits.

Yang Wenyue couldn't speak for a long time, and he felt that Xu Dingchen could not have known about this situation.

The only possibility is that Xu Dingchen intends to help the hammer bandit deceive His Majesty. This is a game of chess that he plays, deliberately destroying his prestige.

Xu Dingchen also calmed down. He did not expect that after Yang Wen took office, he not only did not cooperate with him in his work, but instead wanted to give himself a warning.

Wang Xiangkun had family interests, and was a few officials in the court and had a huge influence.

I discussed Shanxi's political affairs with him in a angrily voice. Although when he was seriously ill, Xu Dingchen repeatedly mentioned his good ideas and methods to him.

But Wang Xiangkun said that you do not have the potential to become a Confucian general. He really listened to his advice and gave up as soon as possible, and replaced someone who knew the soldiers.

But Xu Dingchen had a different idea in his mind when he was listening to a person on the sickbed.

You have never seen me chatting and laughing with the generals, and they are convinced by me.

You have been trapped in Taiyuan for so long and have no choice but to rely on me to call reinforcements several times.

I guess he was on the sickbed and Wang Xiangkun wrote a letter to his personal relationship and asked someone to replace me.

So after Yang Wenyue took office, he wanted to find a way to squeeze me away first, so that he could monopolize the military and political power in Shanxi!

Everything is done.
