"Dad, fortunately we left a soldier outside the city in advance. I didn't expect that the bandits were so powerful that they broke through Daizhou City without even a day."

Yuan Chong looked lingering in fear when he spoke.

At this time, Yuan Chao looked glad.

Fortunately, he saw that the situation was wrong, so he escaped from another gate of Daizhou City with his personal soldiers, otherwise he would have become a prisoner of the bandits at this time.

"It's a pity that I was unable to bring the magistrate out with me. I don't know if he was loyal to the Ming Dynasty in the city." Yuan Chong looked back at Daizhou City behind.

Yuan Chaoju said, "You'd better be glad that he's alive, otherwise when the court blames him, most of the crimes of losing the city will fall on you, my father and son."

"Father, are you deliberately throwing the magistrate into the city?" Yuan Chong was shocked.

Yuan Chaoju said: "Someone must be responsible for the crime of losing the city. The magistrate of Daizhou colluded with bandits and betrayed the city walls. You, my father and son fought hard and were outnumbered and had to withdraw from Daizhou City."

"Will the court believe this?" Yuan Chong asked hesitantly.

Yuan Chaoju said: "It doesn't matter whether the court believes it or not. As long as the Daizhou magistrate falls into the hands of the thief, the court has to believe that it was him who colluded with the bandits in Datong."

The fierce look on his face flashed...

As long as he can preserve the power of the Yuan family and sacrifice a magistrate of the Daizhou, he doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.

"Does Yangqu send someone to handle some things? But the savings at home are left in Daizhou City, and I'm afraid it's already in the hands of the bandits." Yuan Chong looked worried.

If he wanted to blame the fall of Daizhou City on the magistrate, he knew that it would be impossible to just open his mouth. He needed to deal with the governor and the officials who announced the political envoy of Shanxi Chengxuan.

Yuan Chaoju said, "I have prepared the money I used to make some money. When I knew that Yanmen Pass had fallen, I had already arranged for your second brother to send all the savings of our Yuan family to Dong County in advance."

"It's still my father's foresight that he had long seen that Daizhou City was difficult to defend." Yuan Chong said praisefully.

Yuan Chaoju said, "I arranged for your second brother to take the Yuan family's savings to Dong County. I didn't think Daizhou City could not be defended, but I just wanted to leave a way out for the Yuan family. But I didn't expect Daizhou City could not hold on for even one day and was captured by the bandits."

"In the past, I always heard others mention how powerful the bandits in Datong were. My child didn't agree with it before, but now I know that only the Qi family army in those days could match it." Yuan Chong sighed.

Although he had never experienced the era of the Qi family army, the Qi family army was so famous in Jiubian. They were all born in Jiubian and had heard of them since childhood.

Yuan Chao raised his mouth and snorted, saying, "The bandits are indeed capable, but they are still unmatched with the Qi family army. If the Qi family army is still there, how dare these bandits rebel against the court?"

"Father took a sip of water." Yuan Chong handed over a water bag and said, "Isn't it said before that Liu Zhe from Datong was about to accept the recruitment, but why did he suddenly send troops to attack Taiyuan Prefecture? Our Daizhou is also unlucky. It borders Shanyin County of Datong Prefecture and becomes the first target for the bandits to deal with."

Yuan Chaoju took the water bag, took it to his mouth and took a few big sips. The last stroke of water droplets stained on his beard, and said, "Liu Zhe wanted to separatist the two Xuanda prefectures and formed their own vassal states. The court naturally did not allow it. He was unable to send troops to quell the rebellion for a while, so the matter of recruitment was delayed again and again. Liu Zhe should have felt that he was full of wings, so he began to attack Taiyuan Prefecture, wanting to occupy more territory."

"I didn't expect that Liu Zhe actually wanted to separatist the land. I used to hear that Liu Zhe was born as a merchant and had such great ambitions." Yuan Chong's tone was mixed with a little envy.

As a military general, he was very envious of the situation where the vassal states were separatist in the late Tang Dynasty, and even fantasized that the Yuan family would have such a day.

Unfortunately, civil officials in the Ming Dynasty have always had the habit of suppressing military generals. Even if their Yuan family is a hereditary family, they are also the target of suppression by civil officials.

The prefectures and magistrates of all generations have never relaxed their vigilance against their Yuan family, otherwise they would have become the Yuan family and would have had the opportunity to stand out.

As for the separatist rule of the vassal states at the end of the Tang Dynasty, he could only yearn for it through history books. He knew that the Yuan family had no possibility. Now he heard that someone really did this, how could he not envy it?

"You only know one thing but not the other." Yuan Chaoju put down his bag and said, "The Liu thief of Datong is a merchant on the surface. In fact, he was the first bandit who fled from Liaodong to Datong, and now he has only recovered his nature."

After so many years, some of Liu Heng’s past has been understood by the court, and others have only noticed the scene of Liu Heng after the rise of Lingqiu.

"I didn't expect that Liu Zhe was actually a thief." Yuan Chong exclaimed.

Like most people, he only thought that Liu Heng was a merchant who rose from Lingqiu, but now he realized that the other party was actually a thief.

Yuan Chaoju said: "It is not accurate to say that he is a bandit. When the imperial court and slave thieves fought in Sarhu, Liaodong, the thief was still a battalion under General Du Song's tent. Now so many years have passed, in order to attract him, the court even promised him a general. If Du Song does not die, he will be just a general."

"General! If our Yuan family has a general from the Nine-side, there will be one more general and goalkeeper from the Nine-side in the future." Yuan Chong sighed.

Compared with the generals on Jiubian, their Yuan family is still a little worse after all.

After so many generations of management, he has only achieved the position of Zhenwu Guard Commander, and not every generation of Zhenwu Guard Commander is the Yuan family.

Many times, the Yuan family had only one commander Tongzhi.

Yuan Chaoju said: "You think this general is so easy to do. You have to go to Liaodong to fight the slave thieves. Even if you get this general, your life will be left in Liaodong."

"There are so many generals in Liaodong, so it's okay. As long as you get the general, it's a good thing to be a general wherever you go. Maybe you can kill more slave thieves and you can be further awarded titles in the future." Yuan Chong said disapprovingly.

Just when he was in full swing, he didn't think he was too bad to be the general in Liaodong.

Yuan Chao raised his eyes and glanced at his son and said, "You think slave thieves are so easy to deal with. If they are really so easy to deal with, it would not be that most of Liaodong will fall into the hands of the thieves. Many generals and generals alone will die. Liu thieves are recruited bandits. If they go to Liaodong, they will only be suppressed. Sooner or later, they will be killed by the civil servants and generals in Liaodong, and then swallow their troops."
