Cao Bianjiao fought with all his strength, and he was ashamed of being a good general.However, transportation is easy, difficult to make achievements, and easy to be defeated, so it is difficult to seek courage and lack of courage, and die for it.Gai Tianming has its own return, so don't do anything but do it.

Woohoo, generals Cao and Dao will never forget each other forever!

.........

"The first emperor's business was not halfway established, but the middle road collapsed. Today, three points are lost, and Yizhou is exhausted. This is a critical autumn of life and death..."[

It was already very late at night, under the bright light of the study room, half of the elderly were still reading books tirelessly.What the old man read is "The List of Teachers" by Zhuge Kongming of the Three Kingdoms.He read it word by word without stopping for half a minute.

When I read the moving part, I couldn't help but put down the book, looked up, and meditated quietly.On the stage, the bodhi incense used to repel mosquitoes was lit.Under the reflection of the light, the cigarettes spread out in a bend and a bend.

Smelling the faint fragrance, the old man felt a sense of comfort in his heart. After all, it is the famous incense of Xiyi. It can not only repel mosquitoes, but also enjoy the smell. It is much better than the smoke in the temple.

After a long time, I swayed my waist from side to side. After all, I am old and have lost the energy of my youth, so I feel tired now.

Just as he was about to order his servants to prepare for washing, the housekeeper outside came to report: "Master, Vice General Yansui Cao sent someone to ask to see the master."

"Deputy General Yansui Cao?"

Hearing this official name, the pupils of the old man's eyes widened sharply, and the previous feeling of exhaustion disappeared immediately, and he raised his hand and said "please": "Please come soon."

"Yes, sir."

The housekeeper responded outside, and after a while led a young man to open the door.

The young man is very young, about eighteen or nineteen years old, his eyebrows are like two swords, his eyes are like stars, he is handsome, his appearance is very outstanding, and what is more rare is that he is very tall. The action made people's eyes shine, and they couldn't help but praise: What a young man!

Perhaps it was because of the travel and dust, there was a light layer of dust floating on the young man's face, but he didn't look sloppy at all, which gave the young man a heavy feeling.

After seeing the half-hundred old man, the young man bowed his head and bowed respectfully, "My nephew Cao Bianjiao has met Lord Qiu!"

…………

This Master Qiu is naturally Qiu Hejia who is the governor of Liaodong on behalf of the Son of Heaven.He was born in the provincial examination in the 41st year of Wanli, and he is known for his good talk about soldiers.In the first year of Chongzhen, the imperial court issued an order to the prefects and counties to serve as magistrates. At that time, there were ten people in the world, divided into Qiu Minyang, Song Yihe, He Tengjiao, Zhang Liang, Liu Kexun, Liu Yingyu, Sun Yuanhua, Xu Qiyuan, Chen Xinjia, and the last one was him. Qiu Hejia.

After Qiu Hejia got it, he was first appointed as the head of the Ministry of War. During the "Jisi Change", the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not dare to come out. Qiu Hejia was the only one who asked to supervise the army. .

At that time, the power of gold was strong, and the four cities of Yongping fell, and the assistant Sun Chengzong was blocked at the gate, and his voice was blocked.Zhang Fengyi, governor of Jiliao, was supposed to be in command of all the troops, but there was nowhere to be found, and the governor of Shuntian, Fang Daren, was too old to move at all.

Qiu Hejia felt that the country's affairs were difficult, and in order to serve the country, he wished to go with his own body.It is said that Ma Shilong sent troops to break through the closed gate, attracted Sun Chengzong to help, and then led the army into Kaiping himself.When the Hou Jin army came to attack, he led his troops to refuse to defend. The Hou Jin army could not attack for a long time, so he retreated.Afterwards, Qiu Hejia ordered the deputy generals Zhang Hongmo, Jin Guoqi, Liu Guangzuo and others to fight, and the supervisor and general Cao Wenzhao and others moved to Zunhua.Under his single-handed planning, the Ming army finally recovered the four cities and drove the slaves out of the pass.After the war, Emperor Chongzhen specially bestowed a gold plaque of "Leaning on the Great Wall" to honor his merits, and gave him the post of Yuqian, the capital of Youqian, the governor of Liaodong and the jurisdiction of Shanhaiguan.

People at the time praised: the civil servants who led the army were the first to close the door, Sun Jinglue, and the second to be the Juren Qiu Hejia!

"Nephew, please get up!"

Cao Bianjiao's appearance is very similar to his uncle Cao Wenzhao, especially the spiritual head, which is really carved out of the same mold.Qiu Hejia became more and more delighted as he looked at it. He was delighted that Cao's general had another son, and that Daming had added another general.He and Cao Wenzhao were friends of the same generation, and Cao Bianjiao was naturally his nephew.The old man's children are naturally happy when they visit.

In joy, regardless of his status, Qiu Hejia stepped forward to help Cao Bianjiao get up with his own hands, and moved a chair for him with his own hands, motioning him to sit.Cao Bianjiao hesitated and sat down calmly.The housekeeper brought another bowl of tea, Xu was drinking heavily, Cao Bianjiao picked it up and drank it, like drinking wine.Fortunately, it's herbal tea, otherwise I'm afraid I'm going to have a mouthful of bubbles.But he drank in a hurry, but he was also choking, coughing continuously, and he didn't know how to hide it.

The butler watched from the side, stunned, thinking that he is the nephew of the dignified deputy commander, but how come he doesn't understand etiquette at all, so rude?

Qiu Hejia liked Cao Bianjiao's true temperament. Although he was a civil servant, he never liked those sour etiquettes. He dealt with those generals all the year round, so he was naturally close to them.The more Cao Bianjiao was like this, he felt that this son was amiable, vaguely like a piece of uncarved jade!

After smiling and motioning the butler to serve another bowl of tea, he said in a harmonious voice, "It's thousands of miles away from Yansui, my nephew has worked hard all the way."

Hearing this, Cao Bianjiao hurriedly put down the tea bowl, wiped his mouth, and said: "My lord, my nephew is not from Yansui, but from Lintao."

"Lintao?" Qiu Hejia was taken aback. Didn't Cao Wenzhao serve as the deputy commander in Yansui? Why did Xiao Cao come from Lintao?

Seeing that Qiu Hejia was confused, Cao Bianjiao hurriedly got up and said, "Uncle doesn't know something. My uncle defeated Wang Jiayin, the leader of the Bianmin guarding the Hequ last month, and was promoted to the commander-in-chief of Lintao with his meritorious service. My nephew has been with my uncle all along, so he also followed the family. Uncle has arrived in Lintao. It is my uncle's intention that my nephew is here to see you." As he spoke, he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Qiu Hejia.

Qiu Hejia took it with his hand, and looked at it carefully. Although he and Cao Wenzhao didn't work together for long, they got along very well, and naturally recognized his handwriting.In the letter, apart from greeting him, Cao Wenzhao only said that his nephew Cao Bianjiao had grown up and hoped that Governor Qiu could take care of him for him, but he didn't say much else.

Cao Wenzhao is also the commander-in-chief of one party now, how could his nephew come to my Liaodong?Furthermore, even if he wants to train his nephew, he can be sent to Zu Dashou's tent, how can he be sent to me, the new governor who has no name?

Qiu Hejia was confused, and raised his eyes to look at Cao Bianjiao. The latter may have been instructed by his uncle, and immediately said it himself:

"When my nephew came, my uncle once confessed that a boy should serve the country and make great achievements. Now that the Donglu is entrenched outside the pass, he is eyeing my Ming Dynasty. It is the time for my life. Although there are bandits in the pass, they are not as dangerous as the Donglu. It's too old, so my uncle asked my nephew to come to Liaodong to join the army." After a pause, he continued: "To tell you the truth, the reason why my nephew didn't go to my grandfather's place but to my lord's is because of my nephew's own wishes. "

As soon as he heard that Cao Bianjiao was coming to join him, Qiu Hejia suddenly became interested, and asked him with a smile: "Oh, what do you mean, why?"

Cao Bianjiao said frankly: "My nephew heard my uncle mentioning my grandfather many times, and I always feel that my grandfather is a little stagnant and too conservative in leading troops, but my nephew himself advocates offense, and the way adults do things is just what my nephew wants, so my little nephew This is why I defected to the lord. If I serve under the tent of my grandfather, my nephew may not be able to achieve his life's wish."

Cao Bianjiao is young after all, but can the word twilight be easily said?What's more, he was talking about his uncle's old boss, so he really didn't know what to do.

If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would think that this son is frivolous, a fledgling who doesn't know the heights of the heavens and the earth, and is in the eyes of others.But when Qiu Hejia heard this, he felt like he was scratching an itch. What Xiao Cao said was not his perception of Zu Dashou!

But these words can't be said anymore, Qiu Hejia coughed lightly, and asked Cao Bianjiao with a smile: "It's rare to have a life wish at such a young age, but I don't know what your life wish is?"

Cao Bianjiao said without any pretentiousness: "I don't want Fenghou, I hope Haibo is safe!" When he said this, he looked at Qiu Hejia arrogantly, and there was a look of determination on his young face.

I don't want to be named Marquis, but I hope Hai Bo is at peace!

This is a poem by Qi Jiguang, a famous general in the Jiajing period of this dynasty. How could Qiu Hejia not know it, but now that he listens to it, he really feels a sense of pride.

Good boy! [

Qiu Hejia secretly praised: He really is the son of the general family, a good nephew trained by Cao Wenzhao!

After clapping hands, he agreed generously: "Okay, I will take you under my tent, but I have to see if you are as heroic as your uncle!"

Cao Bianjiao raised his head and said, "Your Excellency, just wait and see!"

"Good, good, good!"

It has been a long time since I saw such a young man with such a genuine temperament, and he is also the nephew of his friend Cao Wenzhao. Qiu Hejia couldn't help but want to see if this Cao Bianjiao would really be as he said in the future, and be able to be a great Ming Jingping Yunei.

How to arrange this little Cao?Qiu Hejia pondered for a while, and said to Cao Bianjiao: "You can be the general manager under my name, and when Hitachi has achieved military exploits in the future, I will invite an officer for you."

"Everything is up to the adults." Cao Bianjiao didn't mean to be dissatisfied at all.

In fact, Cao Bianjiao really didn't care what kind of official he was. If he came to Liaodong just to be an official, he would really underestimate him.Uncle Gui is the commander-in-chief of a town, so it's not a trivial matter to get a guerrilla general for his nephew.Anyway, those refugees can't help but fight, there are hundreds or thousands of heads, and there are as many military exploits as they want.But Cao Bianjiao's wish in his life is to learn from Qi Jiguang - the title of Marquis is not my wish, but I hope Hai Bo's peace, this is something that officials and officials can't compare!

Qiu Hejia saw Cao Bianjiao's appearance and appreciated him even more when he saw that he didn't care about his official position.He took Xiao Cao to sit down and chatted with him about Cao Wenzhao's recent situation.

"A few months ago, I read the Tang newspaper. It said that the Yansui area has suffered from years of famine, and seven out of ten people went into exile and rebelled. But I don't know what the situation is now?"

As we chatted, we naturally talked about civil unrest in Shaanxi.A lot of Tang newspapers have been published recently, but Qiu Hejia is still very worried about the real situation.What is said in the Tang newspaper may not be taken seriously, just like when he came to Jinzhou, many of the memorials sent to the court were covered up, and it is difficult for outsiders to see the truth from them.

"To be honest with my uncle, as far as my nephew has seen, the situation is not optimistic. As far as Shaanxi is concerned, there are quite a lot of thieves. There are no fewer than a hundred people with famous names such as Diandengzi, Li Laochai, Yilong, Sweeping King, and Shangyunlong." , There are also refugees under the heads of the thieves, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds, and in a city, there are often several strands of refugees, echoing each other, and the officers and soldiers are endlessly suppressing them." Speaking of this, Cao Bianjiao suddenly stopped, somewhat He said solemnly: "Famine has been in successive years, and the imperial court has provided relief. If this continues, the foundation of the country may be shaken."

Hearing this, Qiu Hejia didn't feel alarmist, but also felt the same way: "Under the famine, the common people feed on it, and the daring thieves raised their arms and shouted, and the sounders gathered, attacked the government and plundered the county, and the government and army suppressed it everywhere. To tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, to suppress this place, and then reverse that place, what a head. Alas, if the court cannot make the people safe for a day, there will be no end to the rebellion. If it goes on like this, it really should A single spark can start a prairie fire. It is very dangerous for your uncle to lead the army to quell the chaos, and if you are not careful, you may be doomed."

Hearing what Qiu Hejia said, Cao Bianjiao's face darkened, and he couldn't help worrying about his uncle when he thought about the chaotic state capital he saw before he arrived.

Outside the pass there are captives from the east, and inside the pass there are civil disturbances. God seems to hate our Ming Dynasty. There has been a severe drought in the northwest for several years. Some heartbroken.

Although Cao Bianjiao was young, he could also see that Governor Qiu looked haggard, and knew that it would be better for Mr. Qiu to rest as soon as possible, otherwise the old man's body might not be able to withstand it.He was about to stand up and leave immediately, but before he could speak, he saw a secretary running in hurriedly, seeing the governor, he didn't care to salute, and hurriedly said:

"My lord, report urgently to Tanma, Jiannu has besieged the Songshan grain army!"
