Jiang Yingzhao said: "We have brought 50,000 troops from Liaodong this time. I have to be responsible for them. Before coming, Yuan Futai repeatedly warned that this army must not be compromised in Xuanda."
"Do you think that the 50,000 troops we brought will be defeated by the Liu thief from Datong?" Man Gui curled his lips disapprovingly.
When he was in Ningyuan City, he personally led the troops to defeat the 130,000 slave bandits brought by the old slave. This time he came to Xuanda to deal with the bandits. In his opinion, this was a credit that was placed at hand.
No matter what, the bandits will never be more powerful than the slave bandits in Liaodong. He is not even afraid of slave bandits. The group of bandits occupying Xuanda is not in his eyes at all.
As for the failure of Zhao Lijiao, in his opinion, it was because Zhao Lijiao brought too few troops. This time they brought more than 50,000 troops from Liaodong. You must know that when they defended Ningyuan City, it was useless. There are so many Guan Ning soldiers and horses.
With these 50,000 Guan Ning soldiers and horses present, the outcome of the Liu thief's annihilation is already doomed.
Jiang Yingzhao said: "Our soldiers and horses in Liaodong will naturally not be defeated by a group of thieves, but it is not necessarily the case if the person commanding the battle is Xing Duxian. You have also seen along the way that the soldiers of each guard station What is the situation like? The court said that in addition to us, it also sent a hundred thousand troops from various guards in the pass. But can the guards and horses in the pass compare with our soldiers and horses in Liaodong? They will not hold us back on the battlefield. That’s pretty good.”
"Then what do you think we should do? That Xing Duxian sent someone to tell you and me to rush to Juyongguan to see him." Man Gui said.
After hearing this, Jiang Yingzhao tapped his fingers lightly on the table, thought for a while, and said: "We definitely can't hand over the soldiers and horses from Liaodong to him. How about this? Let's invite the supervisory army and find a way to ask the supervisory army to come forward. Xing Duxian can suppress you and me as the commander-in-chief, but as long as the supervisory army supports us, he, the commander-in-chief, can only hold his nose and admit it."
"This supervisor has a big appetite. If we want him to stand in our position, I'm afraid it won't work if we don't have enough money." Speaking of the supervisor in the army, Man Gui showed a hint of displeasure on his face.
He couldn't stand a eunuch showing off his power in the army.
However, this supervisor belongs to Wei Zhongxian, so even if he dislikes him, he can only tolerate it. Now that the eunuchs in the court are powerful, Wei Zhongxian cannot be offended by anyone.
Jiang Yingzhao said: "I'll think of a way to get the money. As long as I capture the Liu thief, I'm afraid there won't be enough money to use. But you, don't keep a straight face when you see the supervisor. I know you are tired of this person. I It's the same, but the form is not as good as human beings, so you have to bow your head when you should."
"Okay, I get it. At worst, I'll leave when you invite someone over. It'll be over if you don't see him." Man Gui said.
Jiang Yingzhao shook his head and said: "No, let's forget it if it's just a small matter. This matter is too big. I alone may not be able to persuade the Supervisory Army to come to our side, so you have to go with me to see the Supervisory Army." , this is also to better eradicate the Liu thieves, so that you and I can make great achievements earlier, so you just have to endure it."
"Listen to you, I can't bear it anymore." Mangui said helplessly.
As the same commander-in-chief, he couldn't leave everything to Jiang Yingzhao alone, otherwise others would think he was the deputy commander-in-chief under Jiang Yingzhao.
Seeing that Man Gui agreed, Jiang Yingzhao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Since you have no objection, let's go and see the supervisor together."
"Go now?" Man Gui frowned slightly.
Jiang Yingzhao said: "Xing Duxian has already named us to see us. One more day of delay will be dangerous. The sooner we meet with the supervisory army to settle the matter, the sooner we can send troops to Xuanda."
"Yes, yes, it's up to you, let's go!" Man Gui stood up from his seat.
Jiang Yingzhao asked his soldiers to get a helmet, put it on his head, and walked out with Man Gui.
The army of more than 50,000 was stationed outside Huanghua Town. The two generals also lived with the army's sergeants in the military camp outside the town. However, the supervisors who accompanied the army were different. They lived in Huanghua Town, and they were accompanied by a group of soldiers. guard.
The two men mounted their horses and rushed to Huanghua Town with a group of soldiers and servants.
Huanghua Town is located on an important road, the north gate of the capital, connected to Shanhaiguan Pass in the east, Juyongguan Pass in the west, and Sihai Administrative Office in the north.
In the Jin Dynasty, it was originally a larger village. In the Yuan Dynasty, a thousand households were set up and soldiers were stationed there. In the Ming Dynasty, the village was renovated on the basis of the Great Wall of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Huanghua Town was set up, and garrison troops were arranged in the city.
Jiang Yingzhao and Man Gui rode into Huanghua Town with their soldiers and servants.
When the guards in front of the city gate saw these soldiers and generals coming from Liaodong, they didn't dare to stop them. They even helped them drive away the people who wanted to enter the city and let them go first.
Soon, the two men rode to the door of a wealthy family in the city.
This family was originally a wealthy family in the city, but later the house was spotted by the military supervisors in the camp. The family had to give up their house and temporarily move elsewhere.
"Go in and let me know. Manzhentai and I want to see the supervisors." Jiang Yingzhao said to a guard guarding here.
The guard turned and entered the courtyard.
After a short time, the guard came out, made way for the door, raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation, and said respectfully: "In front of you, the supervisor agrees to see you."
Jiang Yingzhao and Man Gui entered the courtyard.
When the two people walked to the backyard, they were stopped by the guards in the backyard.
"You two, Zhentai, please hand over your weapons and go in to see the supervisor."
Seeing this, the two men took the sabers and threw them to the guard who stopped them. Then they were let go and entered the room in front of them.
"The last general Jiang responded to the imperial edict and paid homage to the supervisor."
"At the end of the month, General Mangui paid homage to the supervisor."
The two people entered the room and bowed to a white-faced, beardless, feminine man sitting in the room.
"Two generals, please get up. Come here and prepare a seat for the two generals." The general sitting on the main seat told the maid waiting in the room.
Two maids walked over gracefully, put down two round stools and then stepped back gracefully.
The supervisor held a blue and white bowl in his hand, put it to his mouth and gently blew the hot air inside, and said sharply: "Why are you two here? Could it be that something happened in the army?"
"That's not true." Jiang Yingzhao was the first to speak, "General Mo and General Man are here to ask the Supervisory Army to decide on something."
As he spoke, he cupped his hands into fists.
The supervisor became somewhat interested, slowly took the tureen from his mouth, and asked curiously: "It's interesting that you two didn't go to Juyongguan to meet Xing Duxian, but you came here to our house."
Chang Sui, who was blocking the front, unconsciously lost his momentum and said forcefully: "No one can enter without the governor's summons."
"Humph, I want to go in, do you think you can stop me?" The leading cavalryman sneered contemptuously, and pressed his upper body forward to suppress the long follower who was blocking him in front.
Chang Sui subconsciously took a step back.
