The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

"My lord, my lord, wake up, Suzhou is here," the car stopped, and Wang Meng woke up Zhang Fan who was sleeping.

Slowly opening his eyes, Zhang Fan felt a little uncomfortable. After all, he ate something when he got into the car and fell asleep while the car was driving. , Naturally, I was a little upset.

"Are you here? How come so fast?" Zhang Fan complained slightly, "Let me sleep for a while." It seemed that he was really tired, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a hurry to come here. Going to sleep again.

"My lord... my lord..." Wang Meng lowered his voice this time, pushing Zhang Fan and shouting, "General Qi is waiting for you here."

"General Qi, let him wait for a while, when I sleep well..." Zhang Fan was sleepy, so he said casually, suddenly, he seemed to have realized what Wang Meng said, this time, he Shi immediately woke up, sat up quickly, and asked Wang Meng, "You mean...General Qi is waiting for me,"

Wang Meng nodded.

"Now,"

Wang Meng nodded again.

"right here,"

Wang Meng nodded for the third time.

"How long have I been sleeping?" Zhang Fan asked Wang Meng while arranging his clothes and smoothing out the creases from sleeping just now, "I mean, I didn't make General Qi wait too long, did I?"

"My lord, please don't worry. I met the scout sent by General Qi on the road. I asked you about it. As soon as the car arrived, General Qi was already standing outside the camp to greet you. I will call you right away. up,"

Hearing what Wang Meng said, Zhang Fan relaxed a little bit. At least he knew that he didn't waste much time, and most importantly, he didn't make Qi Jiguang wait too long.

After tidying up his clothes, Zhang Fan patted his cheeks with his hands, as if he wanted to drive away the sleepiness on his face, and then got out of the carriage.

"Master Qi, it's been more than half a year, don't come here without any problems," Zhang Fan got out of the car, and saw Qi Jiguang standing not far away, smiling at him, and hurried forward to say hello.

"Master Zhang, I'm really safe and sound, but Master Zhang, I haven't seen you for half a year, and if we meet again, I'm going to call myself an official," Qi Jiguang still smiled and said to Zhang Fan.

"General Qi flatters Zhang Fan too much. It's all thanks to the emperor's blessing. Zhang Fan is just acting according to the emperor's will," Zhang Fan said hurriedly, cupping his hands.

"Hey, Mr. Zhang, why should you underestimate yourself?" Qi Jiguang said, "You went to Mobei at the beginning of the year. Although it was His Majesty's will, I have heard a lot of rumors about you here. You can do what you are doing now. , it can be said that it deserves its name, "

"General Qi, please stop quickly. Zhang Fan has just entered the official career for a few days, and the general praised him so much, I am afraid that his tail will go up to the sky." Although Zhang Fan said so, there was a smile on his face. Then he said, "General Qi, we'd better enter the camp before we talk,"

"Oh, please, please, please, look at me, you are busy talking, but you forgot to invite guests in, this is not the way of hospitality," Qi Jiguang hurriedly led Zhang Fan into the barracks.

"The eunuch Wan Zhong who is the supervisor of the army is not here now, but he went to rest." After entering the army tent, Qi Jiguang greeted Zhang Fan to sit down, and said, "Master Zhang, I don't know if you came to Suzhou in the middle of the night. nothing happened,"

"Well, Mr. Qi, isn't Zhang coming here this time for those people who are now occupying the city of Suzhou?" The overall situation has been decided, but Zhang Fan still has some things to worry about, "

"Oh, Master Zhang is worried about something, can you tell me about it," Qi Jiguang immediately became interested when he heard what Zhang Fan said, and hurriedly asked.

Seeing Qi Jiguang's appearance, Zhang Fan sighed in his heart. He knew that what he said next was not something that would interest people, and he probably would disappoint Qi Jiguang very much.

"The siege of Yangzhou has now been lifted, and the Japanese pirates occupying Huai'an Mansion, Songjiang Mansion, and Ningbo Mansion have made us pay a huge price, but they have finally been wiped out by the whole book," Zhang said. Fan said, "Now there are only a group of Fusang troops entrenched in Suzhou City. Although it is only a matter of time for Lord Qi to annihilate them, Zhang Fan advises Lord Qi to understand this matter sooner. "

"..." After hearing Zhang Fan's words, Qi Jiguang was silent for a while, and then said, "You are worried that if this matter drags on for too long, the court will..."

"That's right, that's exactly what Zhang Fan is worried about," Zhang Fan said, before Qi Jiguang finished speaking, he opened his mouth.

"Well, this is really a trouble," Qi Jiguang said after thinking about it, "If it takes a long time, I'm afraid not only Mr. Zhang will be implicated, but I will also have trouble here. I am not afraid of those things. It's a mess, I'm just afraid that if they make such a fuss, it will harm my subordinates and my jurisdiction. Now I am stationed in Jizhou, in case something happens to Mobei, and there is no one to guard it If you let those Tartars break in there, they may be able to go straight to the capital, "

"What Lord Qi said is exactly what Zhang Fan is worried about," Zhang Fan nodded and said, but he was a little ashamed now, because he just thought that if this matter was delayed too late, it would bring trouble to many people. Unfavorable influence, but what Qi Jiguang considers is related to the overall situation. Compared with it, he feels that he is a bit selfish, but he also comforts himself in his heart. In his opinion, he is still too immature .

"Then, is there anything you can do there?" Qi Jiguang asked, "You must know that the group of Fusang troops is now stationed in Suzhou City, with the city gates tightly closed. I also sent people to investigate and found that the four towers of Suzhou City With their people on patrol, I am afraid it will not be easy to make a surprise attack. If we insist on a strong attack, our army will suffer heavy casualties. It is really not worthwhile to deal with a group of enemies who have no way out. up,"

"Well, this is also a trouble," Zhang Fan pondered, "Now we'll see if the enemy soldiers in the city can open the door and come out by themselves."

"Here, are you kidding?" Hearing Zhang Fan's words, Qi Jiguang fought and killed countless enemies all his life, but after hearing what Zhang Fan said just now, he was still very surprised, "I lead the soldiers After fighting for decades, I have seen many strange things. Some of them lost their morale and came out to surrender; If they don’t come out, they obviously know that they are no match for us, but they still want to live. If so, how can they open the city gate and come out?”

"What Master Qi said is that there are no absolutes in the so-called world. There are many things that seem impossible, but they really happened," Zhang Fan said with a smile, "Master Qi can think about it. Although Fusang is in a war, There are many forces from all sides fighting against each other, but in fact, in our view, they are simply fighting between gangs in the rivers and lakes, and even more than a thousand people can become a force on their own.

"Master Qi, you can think about it. The war in Fusang is still in chaos. This batch of enemy troops must be sent by one of the forces. If the other force knows the news and knows that they are short of manpower, send troops. If we go to attack, then that side will definitely be tired of fighting, and at that time, Master Qi thinks they will get back the [-] troops and go back to help."

"You mean..." Qi Jiguang understood what Zhang Fan wanted to say, but there were still many things he couldn't understand, "I've heard about the situation in Fusang that you mentioned, it's really like That's what you said, but how can you be sure that their lord will be attacked elsewhere, and where did you get the news from there?"

"Hehe, Mr. Qi doesn't know something." Zhang Fan smiled and began to explain, "The thing is like this, and it starts from the time when I first came to Jiangnan..."

Zhang Fan spoke very quickly, and what he said was the key points. He also skipped some irrelevant things, and Qi Jiguang also listened very carefully, and while he was listening, he was also thinking about it.

"So that's what happened," Qi Jiguang said after listening to Zhang Fan's explanation, "This Liu Shan really deserves to die. He was corrupt and perverted the law on such a large scale that he should have been hacked into pieces, but he actually Dare to forge gold medals privately, pretend to be the Holy One, and even dare to go to other countries to cheat, everything that this place in the south of the Yangtze River has suffered should be blamed on him. It's a pity that he actually cut himself off. If it wasn't like this, he really should Your Majesty, please reopen the punishment of Ling Chi to make him suffer enough. By the way, this eunuch is not a good thing, and it was the same with Liu Jin back then. Let me see, this eunuch is not a good thing ,"

Zhang Fan was speechless after hearing Qi Jiguang's words. It seemed that Qi Jiguang really had a lot of resentment towards the eunuch. However, now is not the time to discuss these things, there are still many important things to consider.

"My lord, now that we know about this situation, shouldn't we have made preparations earlier?" Zhang Fan asked.

"Well, you're right," Qi Jiguang said, "If it's true what you said, they must want to go back to Fusang when they opened the city gate, so I'll send someone there to take away their ships, and let me The men and horses under us are guarding there, and when the time comes, we will attack them from both sides, and they will be attacked from both sides, "
