Looking at Qian Ning's proud face, Zhang Yuan was furious, but he couldn't deal with his opponent, so he could only get angry there. He wanted to ask Qian Ning who Zhu Houzhao met and when he would allow him to go in after seeing him, but because Qian Ning's arrogant and domineering appearance was too dazzling, Zhang Yuan stopped talking nonsense to Qian Ning, so he turned around and left.

When Zhang Yuan returned to his private residence, Zang Xian came over anxiously: "Dad, just got the news that King Shouren, the General Secretary of Xuanda, arrived at Zhangjiakou Fort and rushed to meet the saint."

Zhang Yuan angrily scolded: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Zang Xian was stunned, obviously not understanding why Zhang Yuan was so angry.

Zhang Yuan calmed down a little, "What are Wang Bo'an doing? He is here to complain to His Majesty, right?"

"this……"

Zang Xian shook his head and said, "I don't know yet, but I heard that Lord Wang brought more than 20,000 elite soldiers of the Xuanfu family here. Perhaps the order to transfer troops issued by His Majesty before took effect. Lord Wang personally led his troops to show his loyalty?"

Zhang Yuan's face was solemn: "We didn't think about this before. His Majesty dispatched troops from all over the nine sides. Zhangjiakou Fort will naturally come to Zhangjiakou Fort that they are not usually in dealing with. Those vulgar martial artists are easy to deal with, but civil servants and governors in various places..."

Although Zang Xian was used to Zhang Yuan's moodiness, he could not figure out what Zhang Yuan was thinking for a while and quickly analyzed: "Eunuch Zhang, you don't have to worry too much. This yamen in Lord Wang is already close to this side, so it is not surprising that the governors and governors from other places cannot come to Zhangjiakou Fort. The soldiers are the generals and deputy generals, and these people will never dare to be disrespectful to their father-in-law. Besides, the governors who are against you in Jiubian are not only two Lord Wang, and there is also one Lord Hu?"

"There are already three, two are still the general system, and they are in charge of those governors. Even if the remaining governor is still the commander-in-chief of His Majesty, isn't that enough?" Zhang Yuan was furious.

Zang Xian said: "Don't worry, father-in-law, these people cannot threaten you."

Only then did Zhang Yuan remember what happened to Zhu Houzhao, and then briefly said the situation, and asked: "In this way, is the person who faces the saint Wang Bo'an?"

"Well……"

Zang Xian thought for a while and nodded, "Realistically speaking, it should be him, but because my father-in-law hadn't come in and saw it with his own eyes, who knows if it's right?"

Zhang Yuan said angrily: "It's not possible to continue like this. A bunch of people have prejudices with our family. Moreover, Wang Bo'an and Hu Chongqi are both in Zhangjiakou. They now have the convenience of directly facing the saint. If our family doesn't do anything, they will keep saying bad things about our family in front of His Majesty... His Majesty will not accept it once or twice, but over time, His Majesty will still have doubts about our family."

Zang Xian nodded and thought to himself: "This is your usual routine of attacking Lord Shen and Master Xie, right? Don't think that your trick will be easily used by others. Those people have very few opportunities to face the holy people, so where can I have time to attack you?"

Zhang Yuan said: "Our family was obstructed by Qian Ning just now and faced with a frustration. When it gets dark, you will help our family to lay out the blame for Wang Bo'an. You will say that he has resigned without permission. When you see His Majesty, you will impeach them together!"

Zang Xian was very embarrassed, but seeing Zhang Yuan's firm attitude, he knew that he could not avoid it, so he could only draw a memorial immediately.

Zhang Yuan clenched his fists: "Let you all unite to deal with our family, our family will not let you die a bad death!"

...

...

After Zhu Houzhao met the visitor, it was already dark.

This time Zhang Yuan came back, and finally he could meet the saint without reporting. Zhu Houzhao looked tired. It was obvious that it took too long to see the guest before, which made him tireless.

Zhang Yuan complained in his heart: "Damn it! Someone has just seen him now, and His Majesty is absent-minded. I am afraid that the effect of impeaching officials is not as good as expected."

"I'll see Your Majesty." Zhang Yuan knelt down and kowtowed.

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand: "I have said it many times. It's really troublesome to see me privately without kneeling down! If you have something to do, just say it!"

In order to demonstrate his loyalty to the emperor, Zhang Yuan learned to kneel down and kowtow every time he faced the saint, and he did not intend to change it easily. He stood up carefully and said tentatively: "Your Majesty, you have just received the three-sided general king, King Qiong, and Mr. Xie who went to Yansui to manage military pay. They... proposed that His Majesty not recruited the three-sided soldiers to Xuanfu to participate in the battle!"

"Um?"

Zhu Houzhao frowned and said nothing, but her anger had already appeared on her face.

Zhang Yuan said: "I dare not delay, so I quickly bring the memorial to Your Majesty for your review... Please ask Your Majesty to submit it to you. Should you follow the wishes of the two adults?"

Zhang Yuanxue is smart and does not interfere with his own opinions. He just tells the matter out, let Zhu Houzhao feel it himself, and then makes a decision.

Although Zhu Houzhao was irritated, he still took the two memorials handed over by Zhang Yuan and read them in detail. He first looked at Xie Qian's one. When he saw that Xie Qian really didn't want to transfer troops to Xuanfu, he was too lazy to go and read Wang Qiong's one.

Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "What's going on? Is what I said not useful? I have arranged to fight the Tartars in Xuanfu, why do they still say that?"

Zhang Yuan originally wanted to attack the two of them directly, but when he thought it was not appropriate, he couldn't help but think of Zang Xian's previous explanation and said tentatively: "Your Majesty, don't get angry, maybe the two adults have other thoughts! The two adults said that the journey from Sanbian to Xuanfu is long, and the troops are transferred to the house for at least one month. Even if the cavalry is faster, it will take more than half a month to arrive... Moreover, the defense area of ​​the three borders is vast. If the troops are transferred out and the rear is empty, changes may occur..."

While speaking, Zhang Yuan kept looking at Zhu Houzhao's reaction. When he found that the emperor's face was flushed, he felt relieved.

Zhang Yuanxin said: "It turns out that if you want to add fuel to the fire, you don't have to follow His Majesty's tone to emphasize anything. It's better to say something slander."

Zhu Houzhao slapped the table, "No matter there are thousands of reasons, it is wrong to not obey the order! Immediately issued an order and ordered the three sides to immediately dispatch troops, and no 50,000 troops should be missing! Those who disobey should handle it strictly!"

Zhang Yuan said: "Your Majesty, will this be possible..."

"Eunuch Zhang, is there any part of your conversation here? You just need to draft an imperial edict for me and then issue it conveniently!"

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand angrily, "The imperial edict must be delivered in the shortest time, and people must be sent to urge all localities to send troops. If there is one less soldier in any place, the relevant governors will be responsible. I will mobilize at least 250,000 troops in Xuanfu, and no one can stop it!"

Zhang Yuan was reluctant to do this, but he still looked embarrassed and nodded bitterly, "I will give you instructions now, Your Majesty, don't be angry, so as not to be incompatible with the dragon body. You are the trust of Laozi and the people of the world!"

...

...

After Wang Shouren led his troops to the camp south of Zhangjiakou Fort, he immediately entered the city to meet the king and reported the military situation to Zhu Houzhao.

Then Wang Shouren left the garrison yamen and went to meet Hu Lian, who had arrived at Zhangjiakou Fort with him earlier. This was the first time the two met after they said goodbye in Xuanfu.

Although Zhangjiakou Fort and Xuanfu were not far away and the intelligence transmission was relatively smooth, Zhang Yuan obstructed it, the connection between Wang Shouren and Hu Lian was almost cut off, and the two did not dare to contact each other privately, so as not to have more reason to attack the two of them for making mistakes.

Wang Shouren arrived in Hu Lian's tent. At this time, Hu Lian was still patrolling the city and waited for almost half an hour before returning until the first update.

"... Brother Jinqi, you have worked so hard." When Wang Shouren saw Hu Lian, he felt that Hu Lian was thinner and more vicissitudes than before, and couldn't help but sigh.

Hu Lian had a bitter expression and asked Wang Shouren to sit down.

After the tea was served, Hu Lian shut down the relevant personnel, obviously wanting to talk to Wang Shouren alone.

Hu Lian said: "After my investigation, although the Tatars gathered heavy troops outside Zhangjiakou Fort, the little Tatar prince himself was not the one who commanded the troops. However, it was impossible to determine which confidant he was. The number of people entrenched outside was far less than that in the rumors, and there were only about 20,000. However, because the Tatars frequently attacked our border, the wars were constantly everywhere, and the number of enemy troops was infinitely exaggerated."

Wang Shouren frowned: "I also noticed that the situation was not good. No matter how arrogant the Tatars were, they would not be able to attack Xuanfu when our troops were at their peak. This is too unwise. I am afraid that the purpose of this Tatars was to restrain our Ming army in the Xuanfu area and prevent His Majesty from leading the army out of the frontier."

The two looked at each other and saw the deep worry in each other's eyes.

Hu Lian asked, "Boan, do you know about Shangshu Shen?"

Wang Shouren shook his head slightly: "Following Brother Chongqi's words, there is no message from Shen Shangshu here in Zhangjiakou Castle? This... the situation is not very good. According to common sense, the Tatars arranged such a situation and had obvious intentions to restrain themselves. They should be planning to Shen Shangshu's troops. Could it be that the war has begun on the grassland?"

Hu Lian shook his head and looked solemn. Obviously, he and Wang Shouren thought of a question: Why did the Tatars keep harassing around Xuanfu, just not withdrawing their troops?

The answer is either the battle between Shen Xi and the main Tatars has not yet ended, and the two sides are having fun fighting in the hinterland of the grassland; or Shen Xi has been defeated, the Tatars can concentrate on fighting the Xuanfu and take advantage of the momentum of defeating Shen Xi to fight the Ming Dynasty.

Hu Lian sighed: "This little Tatar prince has great ambitions."

Hearing this, Wang Shouren couldn't help but sigh and smiled bitterly: "The little Tatar prince is Batumonk, now known as Dayan Khan, who has roughly completed the unification of the grassland tribe. If the Ming Dynasty had not sent troops this year, the Tatars only needed to wipe out the Yongsebu tribe on the right and the Korchin tribe on the left to achieve their goals. Therefore, Shen Shangshu's strategy of sending troops is correct, but after sending troops... many things cannot develop as expected!"

Hu Lian stopped talking, and his worries were even more serious than Wang Shouren.

Wang Shouren asked: "Does Brother Chongqi report the situation in the Di Yi army that he found? "

Hu Lian shook his head helplessly: "Is it useful to say it? Now not only did Eunuch Zhang deliberately block all the news about the Tartars, but His Majesty himself has also made a conclusion on the current situation. Besides, I have no evidence to show how many Tatars there are outside the pass, so..."

The old shopkeeper was shocked: "It's definitely not like this... I'm sorry, no matter how brave I have, how dare I deceive you?"

"Who is the old man?"

Xiao Twist frowned, with a helpless smile on his face.

Originally, Xiaozi had a stern face and looked like he was going to kill someone. When he heard this, he looked much more kind. The old shopkeeper was a little braver and said:

"As far as I know, when I met Shangshu Chen, he was in Tucheng... Lord Shen did not make things difficult for us, but he ordered that he would not be allowed to do it and talk nonsense after he came back. After that, Lord Shen continued to lead the army north, probably to the former site of Xuandewei..."

Xiao Guozi didn't know what to ask, so he looked at Concubine Li.

Concubine Li asked: "When will it happen?"

"this……"

The old shopkeeper hesitated and thought for a long time before he said, "It was about May 18th and 19th. At that time, it was only three or two days before the imperial court said that Lord Shen sent troops, so I thought my subordinates were talking nonsense and did not take it seriously."

Concubine Li nodded: "That's it."

Because the actual time of Chen Xi's troops was five days apart from the time of the troops announced by the court, a lot of information seemed asymmetric, and even if someone found out the news, he would not dare to report it casually, because the matter was too incredible, and the time and mileage were completely inconsistent, and even they themselves were skeptical about it.

Concubine Li said to herself: "No wonder there is no news now. There is news about her feelings but no one dares to report it!"

Xiao Taozi asked: "Who else do you have any news about Shangshu Chen? As long as you check it out, you will be rewarded..."

Because the old shopkeeper talked about the situation of Chen Xi's troops, some people wanted to make up random things, but now they didn't dare to speak out. Liao Han said, "My dear brother-in-law, I sent someone to check the news about Lord Shen, but because this place is Xuanfu, Chen Shangshu went from Datong to the frontier, and merchants here basically went from Zhangjiakou to the grassland, so it was difficult to know more information."

When Concubine Li saw this posture, she knew that she could not find any useful information after asking. She waved her hand immediately, meaning that she would not have to listen anymore and turned to the inner room.

Xiao Guozi nodded: "Since you haven't found anything, you can continue to check it. If someone dares to have a bad idea about your people or goods, just tell our family that our family will make the decision for you!"

"We are so grateful to our father-in-law for blessings and blessings!"

The old shopkeeper took the lead in kneeling down and kowtowed to Xiaozi.

Xiao Tiaozi said, "No need to be polite. Our family is not an official. You don't need so much polite... Just do your best for our family in the future, so go ahead."

Xiao Tiaozi does not show off in front of the people. He mainly wants to show off his airs to the people around Zhu Houzhao, because without airs means no dignity and status.

When Xiao Tiaozi sent the man away, he took Liao Han into the inner room with him. He saw Concubine Li drawing something on a sloppy military map.
