Li Guangyi had the idea of ​​recruiting Liu Heng.

The defeat of the two soldiers from Datong and Xuanfu in Xinpingbao made him realize that relying on Xuanda's troops would be difficult to be the opponent of the Tiger Flag Army.

"Unless the court is willing to be the king of Liu Heng, it will be difficult to recruit the tiger flag. The court will not allow a king of different surnames to be in the Ming Dynasty who holds heavy troops." Hu Mingyi looked at Li Guangyi and said.

In his heart, he was not optimistic about recruiting.

Li Guangyi frowned and thought for a while, saying, "You are right. You must be granted a title, you can be granted a title, a marquis, or even a duke. I don't believe him, Liu Heng is not moved."

"I'm afraid I may not be moved!" Hu Mingyi sighed.

Li Guangyi, who heard this, looked at Hu Mingyi in front of him and said, "To put it nicely, Liu Heng is a white-body businessman, to put it bluntly, he is just a leader of a bandit. If he has the chance to be awarded a title, can he give up the title he can get?"

"Dongweng, don't forget that Liu Heng was the guardian of Xinpingbao and a fourth-rank guerrilla general. Didn't he just say no to it?" Hu Mingyi reminded.

Li Guangyi waved his hand and said, "It's different. How many people can give up the title of the Ming Dynasty. Even the tribal leaders on the grassland regard the title of the Ming Dynasty as a treasure."

"Students are still not optimistic about the recruitment of the tiger flag." Hu Mingyi said without catching the title, and directly admitted that he was not optimistic about the recruitment of the tiger flag.

Li Guangyi sighed and said, "It's not that I have to recruit the tiger flag. It's really because Datong has no force to encircle and suppress the tiger flag army. Once the tiger flag army comes to attack the prefectures and counties below, I have no way to stop it."

"Dong Weng is afraid that Datong will fall into the hands of the thief?" Hu Mingyi asked hesitantly.

Li Guangyi nodded with a wry smile and said, "Once Datong falls into a thief, what will happen to me? You should know that I have no choice."

"You can submit the court and ask the court to send troops to support it." Hu Mingyi said.

Li Guangyi shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know what you said, but the distance cannot relieve the near thirst. It is impossible for a large army to mobilize to send troops to Datong in a few months. In these few months, it is enough for the tiger flag to capture most of Datong, and even the Datong Prefecture City under my feet may be captured."

"We can invite the Kaiyang Master of Yulin Town to come forward. He has been secretly interacting with the tiger flag. As long as we help us delay for a few months, everything will be solved as soon as the court army arrives." Hu Mingyi suggested.

Li Guangyi shook his head again and said, "At this time, you must not expose any secret interactions between Kaiyang and the Tiger Flag. Once the court knows, the entire Li family will be implicated. Moreover, even if Kaiyang comes forward to contact the Tiger Flag, Liu Heng will not be able to remain silent unless he does not intend to attack Datong from the beginning."

"The tiger flag sent an army of tens of thousands of people to Datong from the grassland, which obviously wanted to use troops to Datong. Otherwise, this tiger flag army could have stayed on the grassland to wait for the imperial army to come to the door." Hu Mingyi twisted the beard on his chin.

Li Guangyi grabbed the paper spread on the table with his palm and said, "You go to Xinpingbao in person and find a way to meet the chief general of the army of Tiger Flag. Try to convince the other party to accept the court's amnesty. With the relationship between Kaiyang, the people with Tiger Flag may not be able to do anything to you."

"Students are worried that people with the tiger flag may not be willing to accept our invitation?" Hu Mingyi asked.

Li Guangyi said: "Whether you agree or not, you must try your best to delay the time and delay the use of the tiger flag to various prefectures and counties in Datong. Our official will send people to the court to seek help, so as to delay the arrival of reinforcements from the court."

"When will the student go to Xinpingbao?" Hu Mingyi asked about the time he set off.

Li Guangyi said: "The faster the better, it's better to set off immediately. The longer I am afraid that the longer I will delay, the more prefectures and counties will be captured by the army of tiger flags."

"Students will go back and prepare now and try to set off today." Hu Mingyi took the initiative to say goodbye.

Li Guangyi stood up and walked out from behind the table, grabbed Hu Mingyi's hands intimately, and said, "I will send people from Fubiao Camp to escort you to Xinpingbao, and it will all depend on Mr. Hu next."

Hu Mingyi nodded heavily.

An hour later, Hu Mingyi left Datong Prefecture City under the escort of a team of soldiers from Fubiao Camp.

At the same time, an army of ten thousand people under the Tiger Flag was moving rapidly towards the Tianchengwei.

The sun is tilted westward.

A vanguard camp of the Tiger Flag Army appeared outside the Tiancheng Acropolis.

Tianchengwei was a garrison in Datong territory of the Ming Dynasty. Later, the Zhenluwei on the grassland was abolished and combined with Tianchengwei to form a guard. In the past, the military households of the Zhenluwei were also placed in Tianchengwei.

In name, Tianchengwei is just one ward, but in fact it is two wards. The Zhenluwei also exists, but everything is dominated by Tianchengwei.

A soldier wearing cotton armor rushed into the yamen of the commander of Tianchengwei. When he saw the commander Zhou Tong, he said anxiously: "The general is not good, and a rioter is found outside the city."

Bang!

Zhou Tong, who was sitting in the seat, heard the bandits coming and was stunned for a moment, and the lid of the teacup held in his hand fell to the ground.

"Commander Zhou, please order the city gate to be closed quickly and do not let the soldiers of the rioters enter the city." Wang Baohao, who was sitting in the same seat, woke up.

After the Xuanfu army was defeated, he, the general of the Xuanfu, retreated to Tiancheng Guard under a team of personal guards.

There were thousands of defeated soldiers gathered along the way to Tianchengwei with him.

Zhou Tong came back to his senses and hurriedly said to the soldier who was delivering the letter: "Listen to General Wang, go to the city gate quickly and must not let the rioters sneak into the city."

The sergeant turned around and left quickly.

"Commander Zhou, don't worry, the thousands of soldiers and horses I brought are just right to defend the city." Seeing Zhou Tong's face full of panic, Wang Bao had to comfort him.

Zhou Tong faced Wang Bao, clasped his fists with his hands, and said, "Next, I'll have to defend the city."

The two were the commander of the Datong Guard Office and the general of the Xuanfu. They were nominally incompatible with each other. In Tiancheng Guard, Zhou Tong would not have to give Wang Bao any face.

But now it is different. He knows that defending the city depends on the troops from Xuanfu.

As the commander of Tianchengwei, he knew very well what the soldiers and horses were.

The military households of the garrison who can fight may not even be able to make up two thousand.

Faced with the defeat of the two border troops of Xuanfu and Datong, he did not even have the confidence to defend Tianchengwei in his heart.
