The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

After listening to Wang Xiliang's story, Zhang Fan finally had a general understanding of what happened along the way.

However, Wang Xiliang said that after learning that he would be attacked by more than [-] Fusang troops here, he rushed over in a hurry. Zhang Fan was relieved by his worry, but at the same time, he also felt Wang Xiliang's attack. This decision was a bit hasty. From Zhang Fan's point of view, he should stay there to ensure that everything over there goes smoothly. It is best to wait until everything develops in the direction they envisioned before coming back.

But Zhang Fan thought about it, and found that there was no need for that at all. Even if Wang Xiliang was waiting there, if something changed, he might not be able to change anything with his ability. Moreover, he has already returned now. , Besides, those that are useless are of no use.

"So, let's just wait here now," Zhang Fan asked Wang Xiliang.

"This...I'm afraid this is the only way to go now," Wang Xiliang said with a rather embarrassed face.

Seeing that Zhang Fan fell silent, Wang Xiliang suddenly thought of something, and said, "My lord, I have something to say, it's just... this..."

"Just say what you have to say, what are you doing so dawdly, like a bitch, and rest assured, I won't blame you," Zhang Fan said.

"Then my lord, that's all for now," Wang Xiliang seemed to be encouraged by Zhang Fan's words, and said, "I went to Fusang this time, and everything I did was done according to my lord's instructions. I dare not have a little bit of joy, if everything is as expected by the adults, I think there will be no problem with this matter, but..."

Seeing that Wang Xiliang stopped at this point, Zhang Fan already understood what he wanted to say in his heart, and then he said: "You want to say, but all of this is just my guess, and there is no real truth. The evidence is right, and even if you went to inform that Oda Nobunaga, that Oda Nobunaga really sent troops to attack that Ashikaga Yoshiaki, but whether this Oda Nobunaga can beat that Ashikaga Yoshiaki It's also an unknown number, in short, everything is my guess, whether it will happen or not is uncertain, right?"

"My lord, it's not... a humble job..." Wang Xiliang was about to refute, saying that he absolutely believed in Zhang Fan, and he had never thought about it that way before, but when he saw Zhang Fan's serious expression, , he immediately stopped the flattery he was about to say, and finally, although he still didn't say anything, he nodded.

"I know what you're worried about, but since I let you go, I'm sure about it." Zhang Fan didn't blame him for doubting himself, but said frankly, "Although I never I have been to Fusang, and what Weizhong knows about Fusang today is not very detailed, but even if I know it, you don’t need to ask me how I know it. I have already told General Qi about this matter. And I also took all the responsibility for this matter, and the matter has developed to the present situation, so don't say those frustrated words in the future, "

"It's my lord," Wang Xiliang replied, originally he wanted to say something, but seeing that Zhang Fan was no longer in the mood to listen to what he had to say, he said goodbye and left.

Zhang Fan was the only one left in the camp. In fact, he didn't have no thoughts about what Wang Xiliang said just now. To be honest, although he had strong confidence in the decision he made, but now, his It is true that he has no idea in his heart, if things don't develop according to his expectation, it will be troublesome then.

Although the enemy has been driven into the city of Suzhou by the powerful army led by Qi Jiguang, it is very difficult for them to cause any more damage, but what Zhang Fan is worried about is not this matter, what he is worried about It is because this war has dragged on for too long, what impact will it have on the DPRK and China.

Originally, there were more than 8000 enemies. Although they lost a group when they stormed Yangzhou City, and were later wiped out by Qi Jiguang, they still have nearly 8000 to 1 people. It is normal for the big city where [-] people were to capture it to be captured for a while. Even if Gao Gong wanted to take advantage of this to make trouble, it is estimated that many people in the court would oppose it.

But the nature of this incident is different from the previous kind of foreign war or internal rebellion. After all, this time is the first time that a force from another country has invaded the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and it still occupied a big city like Suzhou. , and the impact they caused before was also very huge. The three major cities were captured, and a total of hundreds of thousands of people were displaced, not to mention the other losses caused by it.

But now, although Qi Jiguang's army had already approached the opponent, he had not launched an attack for a long time. Zhang Fan was worried that this would become the target of Gao Gong's attack.

Moreover, to be honest, Zhang Fan is not very worried about himself. Even if Gao Gong's attack is justified, and with Long Qing's presence, things will not necessarily fall on Zhang Fan. What Zhang Fan is really worried about is that Qi Jiguang will therefore As for what was involved, Zhang Fan would not only feel guilty for implicating Qi Jiguang, but also for the various effects of Qi Jiguang's conviction. After all, what Qi Jiguang is guarding against now has the meaning It can be said that it is very detached, and there is absolutely no room for any mistakes.

After Wang Xiliang came back, Zhang Fan was no longer as leisurely as he was in the past few days. From time to time, he would go to Qi Jiguang to inquire about the situation, and the question he asked was naturally whether anyone came from the east and sneaked into Suzhou. There are such things in the city, but Zhang Fan only got a negative answer when he went to ask several times, which really made him a little disappointed.

This situation continued until that night.

What happened this day was really nothing drastic, but it was enough to make Zhang Fan's heart uneasy. In short, Zhang Fan felt very tired at the end of the day.

In one day, he was playing chess with Wan Zhong in the morning, and in the afternoon, he shuttled back and forth between his tent and Qi Jiguang's tent, constantly asking about the situation of Suzhou city.

However, time and time again he went away full of hope, but time and time again he returned with disappointment. After half a day, it can be said that he was exhausted.

"My lord, my lord," Wang Meng stopped asking, opened the curtain and walked in, speaking a little anxiously.

"What's the matter, what happened?" Zhang Fan, who was about to go to bed, couldn't help asking very puzzled when he saw Wang Meng running in in such a panic.

"This...isn't the lord let me take this low position, and I will notify you if there is any movement," Wang Meng said.

"Well, that's true," Zhang Fan, who was a little tired, was about to dismiss Wang Meng, so that he could sleep well, but he suddenly woke up, "What did you say, what happened?"

"My lord, the scouts sent by General Qi have reported that the gates of Suzhou City are said to have been opened, and the enemy troops in the city are preparing to leave the city," Wang Meng said a little excitedly.

"What did you say?" Zhang Fan was very surprised when he heard the news. After all, he was only paying attention to this matter before, but he has never heard any news that someone sneaked into the Suzhou mansion. , But now, the news that Wang Meng brought said that the Fusang enemy army in the city had already opened the city gate and was about to leave the city. This really surprised him a bit.

"Did the person who reported the letter see it?" Zhang Fan asked.

"The reported news did not say that someone had sneaked into Suzhou City before," Wang Meng shook his head and said, "The humble job is also a bit strange about this matter. Although it is already dark now, Lord Qi wanted to be able to Keep abreast of the movement of the place, and sent a large number of people to watch around Suzhou City. It should be impossible for someone to sneak in without knowing it, but until the enemy army in Suzhou City opened the gate, they didn't find it. There are traces of someone sneaking in,"

"That's strange. Could it be that those Fusang people really have the ability to come and go without a trace," Zhang Fan said a little to himself.

"I don't know about this lowly position," Wang Meng said, "But my lord, no matter how they sneaked into the city to report, maybe our people didn't notice it because of a momentary omission, but my lord, the most important thing right now is Well, those Fusang people have finally opened the gates of the city and are ready to leave the city. This is the most important thing.

"Now Mr. Qi is ready and ready to leave at any time. Now I am waiting for Mr. Qi. Mr. Qi should clean up quickly. Let's go first and then talk,"

"What you're saying is that I almost forgot important things, and started to get obsessed with these little things," Zhang Fan said, slapping his forehead. So he followed Wang Meng out.

"Master Zhang, here we come," Qi Jiguang said with a smile when he saw Zhang Fan coming, already fully dressed and riding on his horse.

"Zhang Fan came late, the general had to wait for a long time," Zhang Fan apologized.

"It's not too late, it's just right now," Qi Jiguang said, "Master Zhang should get on his horse quickly, we're going to kill the enemy now," said Qi Jiguang.

"General Qi is really brave," Zhang Fan said, and he had already rolled on his horse. "This time, Zhang Fan is just going to watch the excitement, and I just hope not to cause trouble for the general." After finishing all this , he nodded to the supervisor Wan Zhong at the side.

After exchanging pleasantries, Qi Jiguang's subordinates came over to report to him that the team had arrived, and Qi Jiguang was unambiguous, waving the horsewhip in his hand and pointing straight ahead, and ordered to set off.
