Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 254
As soon as Cao Gan said this, Gao Mo and Gao Yu immediately understood: Don’t look at me, I have been in the Monan for decades, and invaded Ming Dynasty countless times, but in fact he has not been able to capture any important towns in Daming. However, for some prefectures and counties that are unable to resist, it is just a robbery, and they will retreat soon.

If we talk about the reason, it is actually very simple: I answer that all of them are cavalry, they are not good at siege, and they are not good at defending the city. The only way they are familiar with is galloping in the field.

Therefore, even though Alda accepted the surrender of Bailian Remnants with his outstanding political vision, and agreed to take in the Han who fled from the north under their persuasion, and even allowed him to build cities and open up farmland, etc., his subordinates would never allow it. These men built Dabansheng City as strong as the city of the Ming Dynasty in the south. Otherwise, if these people turned against the water and became the internal support of the Ming Dynasty, according to Dabansheng City, I answered that the cavalry under their command may not be able to take it immediately. , In that way, wouldn't the Ming Dynasty immediately have a strategic support point in Monan?

No matter how talented I am, I can't guarantee that this situation will never happen, so he had to agree with this point of view, so Daban Shengcheng became a toothless tiger—or, more accurately, it was a tiger. A hedgehog without thorns.

While talking, on the not-too-high tower of Dabansheng City, the "yamen servants" who are part-time city gate guards have noticed the arrival of Gao Mo's caravan. Maybe they can't see the flag clearly from a distance. So immediately there was a whimpering horn and a rush of drums from Daban Shengcheng, and the city gate was quickly closed.

It wasn't until the blood wolf howling moon flag clearly caught their eyes that the government servants who were part-time city guards on the city tower breathed a sigh of relief, shouting "Open the city gate!" and "It's a caravan, Daming's caravan!" , "That's the Blood Wolf Roaring Moon Flag, don't be nervous!"...

Even the wooden city gate, which was reluctant to rivet a few copper nails, creaked open again, and a team of knights rushed out from the gate, about seven or eighty people, all dressed in Mongolian costumes.The group of knights did not rush to the caravan immediately, but formed an anti-crescent formation not far from the gate of the city.

Although their number is much smaller than that of the caravan, their momentum is not lost at all. This is a formation that seems to be "semi-outflanking".

However, after all, this was just for show, and soon a horse jumped out of the formation. The knight on the horse was about forty years old, dressed in Mongolian costumes, and spoke Chinese with a serious Shanxi accent: "You are Baili! Xia caravan team, I am the deputy city lord of Daban Shengcheng, and I wrote the deed with a Chinese pen! Which treasurer are you leading this time? Please come out and answer!"

Deputy city lord?Write the deed with Chinese pen?
Gao Mo and Gao Yu looked at each other, Gao Yu frowned and said, "This man doesn't look like a Mongolian with a round face."

Gao Mo on the other side didn't speak, just looked at Cao Gan, and saw a smile on Cao Gan's face, but whispered in his mouth: "This person is the second person of the White Lotus Sect, Li Zixin, the head of the Shanxi Hall. His Mongolian name, I will go and answer him."

After he finished speaking, he had already stepped out of the caravan, clasped his fists on the horse from a distance, and raised his voice: "Section Master Li, don't come here unharmed, Cao Gan in Xiabailixia, I have admired Section Master Li's name for a long time!"

When Li Zixin heard that someone called himself Cao Gan, she couldn't help squinting her eyes subconsciously, looked carefully through the slits in her eyes, and then bowed back with her fists cupped, and said, "So it's Cao Tianwang. I have admired you for a long time, and I have heard your name for a long time. Yes, I just saw you today, but it's a bit late... However, looking at Cao Tianwang's posture, those who know it know that you are here for business, but those who don't know it, I think you are coming to attack our Daban Shengcheng! "

These words were soft but hard. Of course Cao Gan knew the threats and confidence contained in them, but he was also an old Jianghu after all, so there was no reason for stage fright. He looked up to the sky and laughed, and said loudly: "Leader Li is joking, next time Coming here in person, there are naturally more goods than usual, so I don’t feel at ease if I don’t look at them myself. As for Dabansheng City, there are at least tens of thousands of people in my area. ?”

Li Zixin also smiled, and said calmly: "Daban Shengcheng is just a place for homeless bitter hahas on this grassland. If Cao Tianwang really has other ideas, we can't stop them." You have hundreds of elite riders." But he paused for a moment, and continued: "It's just that Altan Khan, the wise king of the grassland, has troops on all sides of Daban Shengcheng City. Ascending the city to cause trouble, the iron cavalry will arrive in no time, this is our reliance, presumably Cao Tianwang must know about your relationship with the Great Khan, right?"

Cao Gan laughed and said, "Master Li, it's the first time we've met, why do I always feel that you misunderstood me? I, Bailixia, never do anything for no reason. In terms of discipline, I am comparable to Bailixia. The Daming frontier army is much better, when did you hear that I, Bailixia, did the matter of beating rabbits with grass?"

After hearing this, Li Zixin seemed to believe it, and nodded slightly: "Cao Tianwang, I don't trust you, I just want to remind you that Dacheng Taiji is currently entertaining distinguished guests in my Dabansheng City. I have always treated you wise people well, but your profession is full of fierce knights... I looked around, and I am afraid that there are no less than five or six hundred people who can control strings and wield knives. Cao Tianwang, although you have The Great Khan’s decree allows you to lead a team into and out of Monan, but I still want to remind you: since all the ministries in Monan have received the Great Khan’s decree, naturally no one will dare to attack you, so why should you Such a laborious task? Next time, we should bring less troops to avoid misunderstanding."

Cao Gan said with a smile: "Leader Li is worrying too much. I brought these troops, but I did not guard against my Mongolian friends."

Li Zixin's complexion changed slightly, and she suddenly said: "Oh? So that's the case. Why, is there any movement in the south? But I heard that you, King Cao, are now hugging the thick legs of the court officials, and even Xuanfu and Datong The chief soldiers are all polite to you, so are there any ignorant juniors who don't have eyesight and dare to make up your mind?"

But Cao Gan began to fool around with half-truths, saying: "Well, business is nothing more than that. There is no such thing as thick legs. Even if there are, I, Cao, can really hold them firmly." That's good."

Li Zixin frowned slightly when she heard the words. This answer was very slippery, and she couldn't hear anything at all. He wanted to inquire about the situation in the south, and was about to ask again, but Cao Gan continued: "Leader Li just said Dacheng Taiji is also in the city? That's a good thing. Among the goods brought this time, there are many good things that have been transshipped from Yangzhou for thousands of miles. Since Dacheng Taiji is also there, presumably in his capacity, he will definitely treat him. I am interested in these things, can Hall Master Li point out the location of Dacheng Taiji's venerable master?"

　Thanks to the book friend "fengjiyue" for the reward, thank you.
