Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 203 Promoted to Commander-in-Chief

When Sun Chengzong led the soldiers and horses of King Qin of the World to Zunhua City, he met Zhao Wen who was escorting the people to Longmen Castle on the way.

Sun Chengzong was riding on the horse, looking forward with a solemn face.

"Report, emergency military situation!"

A fast horse rushed over from the front and came towards Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong rode on the horse, looked at Ye Bushou who rushed over, and asked in a deep voice: "What is the emergency?"

"Returning to my lord, a large number of people suddenly appeared in front of us. Roughly estimated, there are about 15 people." Ye Bushou clapped his hands at Sun Chengzong on his horse and said eagerly.

"15 people? Where are they going? Are they the people who were plundered by Jiannu?" Sun Chengzong frowned when he heard this.

"I have never met Jiannu, but what drove the people away was a team called the Longmen Army." Ye Bushou said to Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong looked into the distance, and said solemnly: "Longmen Army? Isn't the Dragon Gate Army the special army that His Majesty told me about? Didn't they go after Jiannu? How could they drive away the people?"

"Explore again!"

Sun Chengzong couldn't figure out why the Longmen Army wanted to drive away so many people for a while, so he asked Yeburen to investigate again.

At this time, Zhao Wen also got the news that Sun Chengzong had come. He was sitting on the horse, his face was full of solemnity.

This Sun Chengzong is an extremely loyal person, if he knows that he drove away so many people, he will definitely come up and question him.

Sun Chengzong will definitely become suspicious if he has made so many people.After all, except for Zhao Wen, no one in the world likes to gather common people.

Just as Zhao Wen was thinking about it, he rushed over again without closing the night.

"My lord, Sun Chengzong's troops are coming towards us."

After leaving a word that night, he rushed out again.

Zhao Wen rode on the horse, and said to himself: "It's a blessing, not a disaster. A disaster can't be avoided. Today I will come to meet you, the emperor!"

Zhao Wen flicked the whip in his hand and rushed forward.

A few quarters of an hour later, Zhao Wen led Zhao Daniu and several personal guards to stop in front of Sun Chengzong's army.

"Who is here?" A soldier looked at Zhao Wen and the others who rushed over, pulled out the waist knife from his waist, and asked with a vigilant expression.

Zhao Wen took off his life card from his waist and waved it in front, "Xuanfu Town Longmen Fort is guarding Zhao Wen!"

"Wait, I'll report!"

The soldier put away his waist knife and walked towards the rear.

A moment later, the soldier ran back again.

"You can go in now." The soldier cupped his hands at Zhao Wengong and shouted loudly.

Zhao Wen nodded at him, then jumped off the horse and headed forward under the leadership of the soldier.

After a little effort, an old man who was over [-] years old but looked extremely energetic appeared in front of Zhao Wen.

He was wearing a scarlet official robe, riding on a war horse, looking down at Zhao Wen.

Before Zhao Wen could speak, Sun Chengzong asked first, "Are you the Zhao Wen who guarded Longmen Castle?"

Zhao Wen arched his hands at Sun Chengzong, and said in a deep voice: "This junior has met Mr. Sun!"

Seeing that Zhao Wen was quite respectful to him, Sun Chengzong couldn't help nodding, his eyes full of satisfaction.

This Zhao Wen didn't look like the other generals. If the armor on his body was replaced with a shirt, he would be a living scholar.

I really didn't expect that a young man who looked like a scholar would be the hero who captured Mang Gurtai alive and wiped out half of the Zhenglan Banner.

This is really true that people cannot be judged by appearances, and sea water cannot be measured.

"What do you want from me?" Sun Chengzong looked at Zhao Wen, stroked his beard, and asked slowly.

Zhao Wendao: "I heard that my lord is leading the troops, so I'm here to pay my respects."

"I don't need to pay a visit. Now that Jiannu is raging in the capital, the conquest of Jiannu is the most important thing." Sun Chengzong only knew that Zhao Wen led the troops to chase Jiannu, but he didn't know that Jiannu had been defeated by the Longmen army.

So he still thought that Jiannu was still in Daming territory.

"Go back to your lord, Jianu has already retreated, so there is no need for your lord to conquer them." Zhao Wen said in a deep voice.

Sun Chengzong's face changed slightly when he heard the words. He thought Zhao Wen was coaxing him, and anger appeared on his face, "Do you know what you are talking about? How can Jiannu retreat? With your thousands of troops?"

"My lord, when I arrived in Zunhua City, there seemed to be internal strife among the Jiannu. A man named Amin and the slave chief Huang Taiji seemed to have a dispute over their Khan position, and they attacked each other for several days. A few days ago, the man named A Min lost to Huang Taiji and led his troops to flee, but Huang Taiji led his troops to chase after him."

Zhao Wen spoke nonsense to Sun Chengzong without blushing or beating heart.

It was impossible for Zhao Wen to tell Sun Chengzong directly that Jiannu was destroyed by himself. After they met me, Zhao Wen, they ran away like sheep after seeing a wolf.

If Zhao Wen really dared to say that, Sun Chengzong might not believe it either.

Listening to Zhao Wen's words, Sun Chengzong showed an extremely weird smile on his face, "Is what you said true? Did Jiannu really have internal strife?"

"It's absolutely true, Jiannu did have internal strife. Because of the internal strife, they threw the looted people directly into Zunhua City. After they ran away, I rushed in." Zhao Wen looked at Sun Chengzong , said in a deep voice.

Sun Chengzong squinted his eyes, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, staring straight at Zhao Wen.

To be honest, Sun Chengzong didn't believe what Zhao Wen said. The big reason why Jiannu rushed into the pass was for the common people.

Now throw the people away because of internal strife?How can this be?

And will Jiannu have internal strife at such a critical moment?
Seeing that Sun Chengzong didn't quite believe it, Zhao Wen said again: "I grabbed my tongue, and under torture to extract a confession, I also got some news.

It seems that the slave chief Huang Taiji was not in the right position. The imperial edict he used when he ascended the throne was fake, but the real one was obtained by Amin some time ago.

The tongue said that the name on the imperial edict was Amin, so Amin refused to accept it, so he fought with Huang Taiji. "

Sun Chengzong listened to Zhao Wen's words and thought about it.

If it is really what Zhao Wen said, then the internal strife in Jiannu can be explained clearly.

Since ancient times, the battle for the throne has been the cruelest, and this point applies everywhere.

Sun Chengzong stroked his beard gently, and said slowly: "I can't retreat because of your one-sided words. I will definitely go to Zunhua City."

"My lord, Zunhua City is now an empty city. I got all the people inside out."

Zhao Wen looked at Sun Chengzong, bit the bullet and said.

"Just now there was no reward for one night. It was said that there were 15 people in front of them. They were driven slowly towards the west by a force called the Longmen Army. Did you do this?" Sun Chengzong looked at Zhao Wen with his eyes wide open. full of doubts.

Since you have rescued all the people, why don't you just put them in Zunhua City?Why not get it out?

If you do this, wouldn't Zunhua City completely become a ghost city?
And if you get these people out, can you support them?
Zhao Wen looked at Sun Chengzong who was full of doubts in his eyes, and replied: "There are no people in my Longmen Fort for a hundred miles. If there are no people, then my Longmen Fort is like duckweed on the water, without any foundation, so I want to put these The common people got it near my Longmen Fort."

"You brought the people near Longmen Fort? What about Zunhua City? Besides, can your small Longmen Fort support so many people? I advise you to keep these people here." Sun Chengzong Open your mouth to persuade.

"My lord, I must get the Longmen Fort for these people, and I will give His Majesty a tip. As for this Zunhua City, I really can't do anything." Zhao Wen's face was full of determination, there is no doubt road.

"I really can't figure it out, you are short of people in Longmen Castle, so you shouldn't get them from here?"

Sun Chengzong looked at Zhao Wen, who was not allowed to eat oil and salt, with anger on his face.

But after thinking about it, he said again: "Oh, forget it, since you want to get it, then get it, I won't stop you, you lead the people away. But remember, you must be kind people."

Although there are no people in Zunhua City, there are people near Zunhua City.

It is not long for Jiannu to enter the customs this time, and it is impossible to plunder all the people near Zunhua City. The same is true for recruiting people from the vicinity of Zunhua City.

This Longmen Fort is located on the border, uninhabited, and it is not easy to get some people.In addition, Zhao Wennai captured Mang Gurtai alive and beheaded countless people. He is now a big celebrity in front of His Majesty, and there is no need for him to quarrel with him because of these people.

Besides, where are these people not living?It's just a different place.

Seeing that Sun Chengzong agreed to take these people away, Zhao Wen cupped his hands at Sun Chengzong and said, "Thank you sir!"

Zhao Wen bowed to Sun Chengzong, and then walked to the rear.

Looking at the back of Zhao Wen leaving, Hong Chengchou who was beside Sun Chengzong frowned and said, "My lord, why did you let him take these people away?"

Sun Chengzong glanced at Hong Chengchou lightly, and said: "It's just some common people, where is life not life? Longmen Fort is an important border defense site, and it can't be done without people stationed."

"But this is 10,000+ people, what if he has evil intentions, what should he do?" Hong Chengchou said worriedly.

Hearing this, Sun Chengzong laughed, "You mean he is going to rebel? Haha, you are worrying too much. He is just a small Longmen Fort guard. This time he won the battle by luck, and was promoted to the general by His Majesty. Soldiers. Even if he has 10,000+ people in his hands, what waves can he make?

How many people did King Anhua and King Ning have under their command?How big is the site?How many people are there?But isn't it the same as being wiped out by the court?With hundreds of thousands of people wanting to rebel?How dare you think. "

Hong Chengchou looked at Sun Chengzong who was laughing loudly, and looked a little embarrassed.

When Zhao Wen returned to the Longmen Army, Sun Chengzong also gave him the way.

Zhao Wen led the Longmen army and escorted the people past Qin Wang's soldiers and horses.

After the Longmen Army left, Sun Chengzong led his troops to Zunhua City.

Even if Jian Nu has retired, what should be done is still to be done.

……

When Zhao Wen escorted the people back to Longmen Fort, it was already close to the end of the year.

Zhao Wen threw this commoner directly to Liu Wenzhong, and hid himself in the Garrison Mansion and fell asleep.

Ever since Zhao Wen led the soldiers out, he has hardly had a good night's sleep. This time, he managed to rest for a while, and of course he had to relax a lot.

When Zhao Wen was relaxing in the garrison mansion, Cao Huachun led the troops and came towards Longmen Castle with the reward from Emperor Chongzhen.

This time Zhao Wen captured Mang Gurtai alive and beheaded countless slaves. This reward is a must.

After the cabinet's discussion, the reward for Zhao Wen was also decided.

Zhao Wen was promoted to be the general officer of Xuanfu Town, he was given the seal of General Shuo of Zhenshuo, and he was given Mang clothes, and his son was a hundred households of Jinyiwei.

A series of rewards such as ten thousand gold rewards, one hundred pieces of silk, etc.

Originally, Chongzhen wanted to make Zhao Wen's wife Yipin Gaoming's wife, but Zhao Wen was not married at this time, so he gave up.

……

When Cao Huachun came to Longmen Fort, his eyes were not enough for an instant.

This is a fort?This is beyond the town, especially the city wall, which is so dark that it seems to be made of cement, and the ground, which is also made of cement.

"This Zhao Wen is really rich!" Cao Huachun couldn't help saying, looking at the things in Longmen Castle.

When Cao Huachun appeared in Longmen Fort, Zhao Wen also led the people to greet him in a hurry.

"Haha, Eunuch Cao, we meet again."

Zhao Wen cupped his hands at Cao Huachun with a smile on his face.

Cao Huachun jumped off his horse and said with a smile, "Haha, we meet again. It's just that I should change my words now, and I will call you Zongbing Zhao from now on."

"Haha, it's all thanks to His Majesty's love and father-in-law's contribution. Otherwise, how could I be the chief soldier? Come on, please!"

In fact, when this order was just issued by Chongzhen, Zhao Wen had already learned about it.So now I don't feel any surprise when I hear Cao Huachun like this.

Zhao Wen took out a 2000 taels of silver note from his sleeve and handed it directly to Cao Huachun.

Cao Huachun took the banknote, glanced at it, and stuffed the banknote into his pocket with a smile on his face.

"Haha, General Zhao hastened to make some preparations. The miscellaneous family is here to make an announcement." Cao Huachun looked at Zhao Wen and said with a smile on his face.

Zhao Wendao: "The incense table and so on have already been prepared, so the father-in-law doesn't have to worry about it."

After speaking, Zhao Wen led Cao Huachun towards the garrison mansion.

When everyone came to the defense mansion, the incense table was already set up in the hall of the defense mansion.

Cao Huachun took a wooden box from his entourage, opened it respectfully, and took out a bright yellow scroll from inside.

He held up the imperial decree and looked at Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice, "My minister Zhao Wen, can I ask Sheng An?"

Cao Huachun said in his shrill voice, "Saint Gongan!"

After all, Cao Huachun slowly opened the imperial decree.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said: Zhao Wenyong in the defense of Longmen Fort is brave in state affairs... Now he is promoted to the general officer of Xuanfu Town, with the seal of General Shuo of Zhenshuo, bestowed with mang clothes, and his son is a hundred households of Jinyiwei. Reward ten thousand gold, A hundred bolts of silk... this!"

Cao Huachun slowly closed the imperial decree, and looked at Zhao Wen with a smile on his face.

"I thank the emperor for his kindness!"

Zhao Wen saluted the imperial decree, then stood up and took the imperial decree from Cao Huachun.

"Haha, congratulations!" Cao Huachun congratulated Zhao Wen a few times, then turned around, and said to the followers behind him: "Bring up all the rewards from the emperor!"
