In the hall, the king and his ministers met with each other. Zhu Houcan looked at Xu Jin with calm eyes, and suddenly felt relieved. He was also a little guilty. He looked around and looked around, "Xu Qing is quite simple here."

Xu Jin said calmly: "The border is bitter and cold, and the conditions are naturally not as good as those in the capital. How did the emperor sneak out of the capital?"

Zhu Houguang rolled his eyes: "I am the king of a country. I still have to sneak away from Beijing... Cough, I just finished visiting Tailing the Mausoleum the day before yesterday. Seeing that there was still plenty of time, I took a trip to Datong... Research, yes, it is what Xu Qing talked about to investigate and understand people's livelihood and people's conditions."

Xu Jin couldn't help but speechless. Tailing is the tomb of Emperor Hongzhi of Emperor Xiaozong of Ming Dynasty. It is located in Changping County, a northern suburb of the capital. It is about 100 miles away. It is far from Datong and it is not easy to go.

"No ministers in the court know that the emperor is here?" Xu Jin asked while pouring a cup of tea.

Zhu Hougui sat down next to the tea table, curled his lips and said, "Let them know what they are doing, I'm asking for trouble!" After that, he raised his legs and picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"I knew that!" Xu Jin frowned secretly, sat down on the other side of the coffee table, and poured himself a cup of tea.

The king and his minister were silent for a moment, and Zhu Houcong asked with a somewhat unnatural expression: "Xu Qingke finds out clearly, why did Altan suddenly withdraw his troops?"

Xu Jin shook his head and said, "Never before, the Tartars blockades are tight, and our army's scouts cannot go deep into the grassland to find out the news."

"Oh, have the two thousand Shenji Camp cavalry sent out returned?" Zhu Houguan asked with concern.

Xu Jin said heavily: "Not yet, I'm afraid there's a lot of danger. According to the news from Yulin, the Ordos tribe of the Tartars has frequently dispatched troops these days, so they may be trapped in the Hetao area."

Zhu Houcan raised his eyebrows and said, "Does Xu Qing have a map here?"

"It's true!" Xu Jin took a military map and opened it, and the king and his ministers gathered around the map to discuss it.

Although Zhu Hougui has never led his troops to fight, under Xu Jin's intentional guidance, he became very martial and determined to expand his territory. He has read a lot of military books and maps. Although they are all talking about war on paper, they are not a layman and are still very insightful in some aspects.

Zhu Houcong observed the map for a while, and his eyebrows frowned deeply and said, "The terrain in Hetao is flat, the Ordos tribe of the Tatars is strong, with nearly 100,000 cavalry. As long as the road to Yulin is blocked, it is difficult for the Shenji Camp to break through... If he can't get through, he will have to cross the Yellow River and return to the north in the end."

Xu Jin nodded and said, "I think so too. The best result is to escape into the Great Green Mountains."

Zhu Houcan stared at the Daqing Mountains that stretched for hundreds of miles on the map, sighed and said, "The cold season is coming soon, and it will not be easy even if you escape into the Daqing Mountains."

Xu Jin said a little heavy: "There is nothing to do, I can only leave it to fate."

Zhu Houcong clenched his fist with his right hand and slammed his left palm, saying, "It's a pity that the flintlock rifle has not yet equipped the border army, otherwise it would be difficult to directly send troops to Hetao to destroy the Ordos tribe of the Tartars."

Xu Jin shook his head and reminded: "Master, it is not the time to use large-scale military forces against the Tatars."

"I also understand that it is not the time." Zhu Houcong said regretfully.

Xu Jin smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to hurry. At most, it will only take two or three years. By then, our Ming Dynasty's maritime trade will be on track, and the land in the country will be cleared again, and the tuition will increase by at least 40%. Our Ming Dynasty's treasury will definitely be filled quickly.

By then, high-yield crops were also planted on a large scale. Our Ming Dynasty's national strength became increasingly strong. We wanted silver, food, and firearms. Not to mention regaining the Hetao Plain, it was no problem to include Tatars, Tishu, and the Western Regions countries in our Ming territory."

Zhu Houcong listened to the prospect described by Xu Jin, and his heart couldn't help but feel extremely hot. As if he had been injected with chicken blood, his handsome face turned red. If all these goals were achieved, then his civil and military skills would be far superior to those of Taizu and Taizong, and he could be called the eternal emperor in Chinese history!

Zhu Houguan looked at Xu Jin with a scorching eyes. It can be said that the Ming Dynasty can achieve such a prosperous situation today is inseparable from Xu Qing's efforts.

First, the Qingtianzhuang was proposed and implemented by Xu Qing; secondly, the sea ban was proposed and implemented by Xu Qing; secondly, the high-yield crops of sweet potatoes, corn and potatoes were also introduced and promoted by Xu Qing; there are also flintlock rifles, Firring cannons, steam engines, etc., which are also Xu Qing's ideas.

There are so many things, which one is not a great thing that has benefited the Ming Dynasty a lot? Not to mention the countless military achievements made by Xu Jin. If Xu Jin, who was "working hard for the Ming Dynasty" like Xu Jin, would betray him, would not believe it if Zhu Houcong would beat him to death!

"Xu Qing...you will always help me to conquer this country, right?" Zhu Houcong said a little excitedly.

Xu Jin smiled and said, "You treat your country's scholars as your country's scholars, and you should repay them with your country's scholars!"

Zhu Houcan smiled happily and said, "It's necessary!" He pointed to a place on the map and said, "When will Xu Qing send troops to destroy Heitai Mountain? The white lotus witch Xue Bingxin must not be kept!"

Xu Jin's heart skipped a beat and became silent. Seeing this, Zhu Houguan's smile gradually faded away, and he frowned and said, "Can't Xu Qing do it?"

"I obey the order!" Xu Jin thought of the lightning and spit out three words helplessly.

Zhu Houcong sighed and said with a smile: "There are few willows on the branches, and there are no fragrant grasses everywhere in the world. If Xu Qing likes beauty, I will search for hundreds of stunning stunning nationwide for you, as long as it is, the premise is that Sister Xiaowan does not object!"

Xu Jin couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Is the emperor treating his ministers as Dumas?"

Zhu Houcan laughed and drank the cup of tea and said, "While I have a few days left, how about Xu Qing sending troops tomorrow? A small black Taishan is not easy to win for Xu Qing!"

Xu Jin did not answer Zhu Houcan, but instead called Zhao Datou, the captain outside, in.

"What are your instructions?" Zhao Datou asked after coming in and bowing.

Xu Jin waved his hand and ordered: "Let Sanqian and Pi Shiyi leave the city and notify Wang Lin'er, and let him come to me and discuss the encirclement and suppression of Black Taishan."

"Yes!" Zhao Datou turned around and retreated from the house.

Zhu Houcong was happy to see Xu Jin so happy. Could it be that A Bing inquired about the news that he had made was wrong? Xu Qing and the white lotus witch Xue Bingxin had no affair at all. It was outrageous. I will never give up the false accusation bastard!

Let’s talk about Zhao Datou finding Xie Sanliang and conveying Xu Jin’s words intact. After hearing this, the latter’s eyes flashed: “My brother-in-law wants to encircle Heitaishan?”

Zhao Datou stroked Datou and said, "Yes, the emperor's will is still fake."

Xie Sanliang nodded and said, "I understand, I will inform General Wang now."

After Xie Sanqian finished speaking, he called the eleventh one. The two went to the stable to hold the mount, but as soon as they left the house, they met Lu Bing. The latter was obviously waiting there on purpose, and there were more than a dozen lieutenants in the Jinyi behind him, and everyone was holding the mount.

"Brother San Gun, where are you going?" Lu Bing asked with a bright smile.

Xie Sangun rolled his eyes and said, "Where is the young master Bing?"

"That's a coincidence. I'm going to leave the city as well, let's go together." After Lu Bing said that, he turned over and got on his horse.

Xie Sanqin frowned, but he couldn't say anything. He and Pi Shiyi got on the horse and walked towards the city gate, while Lu Bing followed closely, and the other Jinyiwei followed behind him in a fan shape.

"Young Master Bing, what are you doing when you go out of the city?" Xie Sanqian asked intentionally or unintentionally while riding his horse.

Lu Bing laughed and said, "Where are we going, brothers San Gun?"

Xie Sangeng's face darkened and said, "So Lu Zhenfu is going to follow me, I don't seem to have committed any trouble, right?"

Lu Bing said without changing his face: "Oh, Brother San Gun, look at what you said. We haven't seen each other for a long time. I just want to gather with Brother San Gun, and there is no other meaning. It would be even better if I could have a conversation with each other."

At this time, everyone had already ridden out of the city gate. Xie Sanliang ran to the camp of Shenji Camp and smiled and said, "So that's it, of course, no problem. In this way, Young Master Bing's skills must have improved a lot."

"Hey, there, there, a little bit, I guess I can't beat the three-gun brother!" Lu Bing said modestly, following Xie Sanliang's side while riding a horse.

At this time, Xie Sanqian suddenly stopped the horse and laughed, "Since we want to compete, let's compare riding skills first. Seeing that there is no Tangzi Mountain over there, whoever arrives first wins!"

Lu Bing's eyes rolled and said, "Forget it, I'm definitely not as good as you in riding. I'd better wait until the camp of Shenji Camp and let's compete in martial arts."

Xie Sanqin winked at Pi Shiyi. The latter was carrying a flintlock rifle, unspoken the safety quietly, and buckled the board note, and there was a loud bang.

Lu Bing and the Jinyiwei were all shocked, and the horse under his crotch also subconsciously took two steps back, while Xie Sanqian took the opportunity to scramble out with his horse's belly, and screamed in surprise: "Oh, the horse is frightened, beast, stop... Stop quickly!"

Xie San shouted in the mouth, but the horse under his crotch ran very fast and rushed out more than ten meters in the blink of an eye.

"Oh no, it's going to go crazy!" Pi Shiyi took off his flintlock rifle and pretended to check it out.

Lu Bing finally reacted at this time and shouted sternly: "Xie Sanqian escaped, chased, and catch him!"

The seven or eight horses and Jinyiwei immediately rode their horses and chased after them, but the riding skills of these Jinyiwei were not as good as Xie Sanqiu, not to mention that Xie Sanqiu started first, so the pursuit became more and more backward, and he could only watch Xie Sanqiu and his horse succeeded.

Lu Bing was so angry that he smoked his seven orifices. He pulled out Xiuchun's sword and put it on Pi Shiyi's neck, and said sternly: "You are so stupid, I dare to be yin!"

Pi Shiyi said in surprise: "Why did Lord Lu say this?"

"Stop pretending to be garlic for me. If you have any plantings, go to the emperor and take them down!" Lu Bingli shouted, and the two Jinyiwei immediately rushed forward and pulled Pi Shiyi off the horse, and helped them with the rope.
