The capital. Yazhu.

Yang Tinghe hurriedly ran to Yazhu, and after entering Yazhu Hall, he did not see the Fengzhu Lord. So he kept sitting in Yazhu Hall and waiting.

At dusk, the room with bamboo curtains hanging in the hall finally moved. I heard the Fengzhu say, "I heard you are eager to see me, what happened?"

"Prince Feng, Jiang Xia, Jiang Xia executed Yan Song to Lingchi. He cut eighty-nine swords in public. After Yan Song died, he used a war horse to trample his body into meat paste."

"I know this. Yan Song's stupidity knows that the enemy is still dared to do such a thing, and he is not willing to die." said Master Feng.

"But" Yang Tinghe was a little unwilling, and seemed to be a little nervous. He said: "Master Feng, Jiang Xia, even though he knew that Yan Song was my person, he was still so merciless. He clearly didn't take me seriously.

Now the soldiers and horses from the Central Guard of Ningxia, Jingying, Shaanxi and Suzhou regard him as gods. I am afraid that even if he handed over the military power, these soldiers and horses would obey him.

In addition, if he really defeated the coalition forces of Turpan and Ola, we would have to regard Jiangxia as the main force and let him take the position of priest.

At that time, he will be arrested in all political affairs and military affairs. I am afraid that there will be no more foothold in the court."

"There is no place for us to stand in the court. Is there any problem with this? Remember, if Jiang Xia successfully retreats to the enemy, you will immediately fulfill your promise when you return to the court and let him sit in the position of the magistrate.

Not only that, you must also remember to establish a good relationship with him and not be terrified of him anymore. Support all the decisions he made, and try to promote his achievements in the capital and create a good reputation for him."

"Master Feng, my subordinates don't understand why we do this."

"You don't need to understand. As long as you persist for three or five years, you will understand if I don't say anything. Go and just ask me for it."

"Yes!" Yang Tinghe responded, got up and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, Master Feng said, "By the way, the Liu Liangnu you recommended has begun to take charge of Fengtang. She is very good. You did not misread the person this time."

"Yes. That's good." Yang Tinghe frowned slightly.

When he thought of Liu Liangnu, he would subconsciously think of "Uncle Xiang" corpse, which was gnawed by snakes, insects, rats and ants, with only a pile of bones and a little bit of flesh and blood.

When Yang Tinghe thought of the body, he felt a little chilled.

I think I have been in the officialdom for many years and have been instructed to do anything about murder. But I am like Jiang Xia who executed people alive, or Liu Liangnu who lets snakes, insects, rats and ants eat their bodies.

He has never experienced such a cruel punishment.

Yang Tinghe couldn't help but feel that he didn't seem to be as cruel as Jiang Xia and Liu Liangnu.

When Yang Tinghe left, the Fengzhu behind the bamboo curtain shook his head and said to himself: "The older a person is, the less courageous he is."

Ningxia Zhongwei.

Now, after the Ningxia Central Defense has experienced the last incident, in Yang Tinghe's words, it is to regard Jiang Xia as a god.

The past sluggish morale and the dispersed military discipline have now disappeared, replaced by high morale and strict military discipline.

In the current Ningxia Zhongwei, whoever saw the people in the martial arts hall and the courtroom had their expressions as if they had seen ghosts.

Anyone who violates military rules will definitely punish him.

Occasionally, one or two soldiers who were beaten and muttered, "What's so strict, right?" "It's so fucking inhumane."

Once these words are heard by other soldiers, there will always be people who stand up and blame and complain: "Do you know what you are saying? The martial arts hall is a sacrificial wine that the Taifu personally served as the sacrificial wine, and it is a person trained by the Taifu.

Look at the military discipline and demeanor of others. Even if a person in the martial arts lecturer violates the military rules, he will be beaten. If you make a mistake, you should be punished. If you complain, be careful. Then I will teach you a lesson for the Grand Tutor.”

In the General's Mansion, the previous General's Mansion.

Jiang Xia and a group of generals were looking at the sand table in front of them. The commanders and commanders in the three armies were all here, and they had never seen this so-called "sand table". However, these people were also considered old people in the ranks. Jiang Xia's high-restored sand table, and they could understand the mystery at a glance.

Jiang Xia pointed to the sand table and said, "Now Turpan and Oirat have sent a total of 80,000 coalition forces here. It seems that they know that their vanguard troops were defeated, and they temporarily added troops.

Now they are stationed here, about three miles away from us. With our current forces, if we want to fight them head-on, we may lose more than we win or less."

"Sir, what good will you do?" Luo Cheng asked.

Jiang Xia looked at Luo Cheng and nodded slightly, saying, "There is no way, it's just a little bit of a risk."

"What method?" Luo Cheng asked quickly.

Jiangxia said: "Turpan and Oirat have sent 80,000 troops at once. In this way, both Turpan and Oirat will inevitably be very empty. If I write a letter to the Tatars and ask him to help attack the Oirat, I believe that the Oirat will withdraw their troops to ensure domestic security.

Then we contacted the remnants of Tumot and agreed with them to attack Turpan on both sides, and believed that Turpan would suffer heavy losses."

"This is equivalent to asking Tatars and Tumote tribes for help. Will the Tatars take this opportunity to attack our Ming Dynasty and get a share of the pie?" Shaanxi commander Lian Shouzheng said with some concern.

Jiang Xia nodded and said, "This is not ruled out, so I said this is a risk. But judging from the current situation, this is also the most effective method.

The 80,000 coalition forces of Turpan and Oirat are brave and good at fighting. If we want to defeat them from the front, with our current strength, it is hard to reach the sky."

Lian Shouzheng nodded and admitted that what Jiang Xia said was very reasonable.

Finally, after everyone was silent for a while, Luo Cheng said, "Sir, you have a good idea and make every decision. Just make the decision on what you should do.

If you say you want to hit us, you will fight us. If you say you want to guard us, you will defend us. If you say you want to ask Tatars for help, then we will ask. At worst, you can notify Xuanfu and Datong, just let them be careful."

Jiang Xia thought for a while and finally nodded.

"Let's go here today, and order people to prepare for the loss and let's go."

"yes."

After the generals left, Jiang Xia sat on a chair and rubbed his forehead.

In fact, just speaking of his personal feelings, he believed in Alsu. After all, everyone’s friendship was there, and I believe Alsu would not take the opportunity to stab the knife in the back.

In addition, now the Tatars and the Ming Dynasty have opened border markets on each other, which is good for both sides. I believe Alsu will not be willing to destroy this.

But Jiang Xia understood that his decision had a great impact. Once some "if" was issued, he might be a sinner of the Ming Dynasty.

Jiang Xia shook her head.

Finally, I made up my mind.

He walked back to the study, picked up a pen and wrote a letter, then stamped his own private seal, and then sealed it with paint to find Xiao Sha.

Jiang Xia handed the letter and the Khan King Order handed to him by Alsu to Xiao Sha, and said, "This letter must be handed over to Alsu in person. No one except him shall be transferred. Please, Brother Xiao."

Xiao Sha nodded and said, "Don't worry. I will deliver this letter to Alsu as fast as possible."

"Yes." Jiang Xia nodded.

Xiao Sha left Ningxia Central Guard overnight, so he would defend the city hard.

From the third day after Xiao Sha left, the coalition forces of Turpan and Oirat began to continue to siege the city.

The two sides began to fall into a stalemate and consumption competition.

At night, Jiang Xia quickly walked on the city tower. Gao Jia and Qiu Wenshi were following him.

Jiang Xia looked at Qiu Wenshi and asked, "Wenshi, do you think we can successfully retreat the coalition forces of Turpan and Oirat this time?"

"It's very difficult." Qiu Wenshi analyzed, "This time, Turpan and Oirat dispatched a total of 120,000 elite soldiers. Their combat power is very strong, far from comparable to our soldiers.

Now there are only less than 100,000 troops left in the city, most of which are soldiers who have never fought much. Without foreign aid, it will be difficult to defend the Ningxia Zhongwei City. Now we have to make two plans."

"Two plans? Which two plans?"

"First, contact reinforcements from all over the surrounding areas to help; second, give up the city of Ningxia and lead troops back to the capital to defend the enemy."

After hearing this, Jiang Xia nodded silently, and he admitted that Qiu Wenshi's analysis was correct.

Soon a soldier came to report, "Master Taifu, there is a disciple who claims to be a Qianmen who asks to see you."

"Take him to see me immediately." Jiang Xia said.

"yes!"

Soon the disciples of Qianmen were taken to the city tower by the soldier. After seeing Jiangxia, the disciples of Qianmen saluted and said, "See the leader."

After saying that, the disciples of Qianmen took out a letter from their arms and handed it to Jiang Xia.

After taking the letter, Jiang Xia opened it and glanced twice.

It was dark and fortunately he had good eyesight to see the words clearly, otherwise he wouldn't understand what was written on the letter.

After a few glances, Jiang Xia showed ecstasy expression on his face. He turned his head to look at Qiu Wenshi and said, "There are reinforcements, we have reinforcements!"

At noon, the war drums sounded.

The coalition forces of Turpan and Oirat began to attack the city again.

They collected a lot of siege equipment from the cities they had captured along the road, causing great trouble to Jiangxia. Fortunately, there were also many defending items in the city Zhongwei City in Ningxia, otherwise the city might not have been able to defend until now.

Seeing the enemy army slowly coming, Jiang Xia immediately ordered people to prepare items to defend the city. The front of the city gate was covered with caltrops, and he was slapped to resist the horse.

Jiangxia also set up five catapults on the city tower, and the huge rocks were piled up. In addition, there were several barrels of turbulent oil on the city tower. Anyway, if the Turpan and the Ola coalition forces wanted to seize Ningxia Zhongwei City from Jiangxia, they would pay some price that hurt them.

Jiang Xia simply moved a chair and sat on the city tower, with a long knife in his hand placed it horizontally on his knee.

Soon Jiang Xia heard the "bang rumbling", as if the sound of thunder sounded. Jiang Xia stood up and walked out of the city tower to look forward, and saw the wind and smoke rolling in front and flags fluttering.

Jiangxia knew that Turpan and the Oirat army had arrived.

After the enemy army arrived, they did not start siege at the first time. They first formed a formation, which did not look like the grassland herding people who did not know much about siege.

Jiang Xia looked at the place where they sorted out the formation, then reached out to call Qiu Wenshi over and asked, "Do you think we can use a catapult to hit the camp opposite?"

Qiu Wenshi looked at it and shook his head and said, "I don't know, I haven't used a catapult car."

"It's okay, just try it." Jiang Xia nodded to the fifty soldiers standing next to the catapult cart and signaled. Two of the soldiers immediately put a huge rock in the catapult cart, and then the other fifty soldiers pulled down the lever with force.
