Chapter 179 Trump Card "Yes, I humbly obey my orders."
Aladdin and Sheng Zhao were stunned and bowed solemnly.
Some time ago, Qi Zhedu granted officials and generous rewards to Liu Ziren, Wang Kerou, Qiu Yi, Zhang Jiusi and others.
They even murmured privately that Master Zuo Cheng took those unruly people too seriously and almost ignored them.
It was placed on the heads of official officers and soldiers.
It was only at this moment that I realized that Qizhedu's plan from the beginning was to buy lives and drive away wolves and welcome tigers.
Regardless of whether Gaoyou can be saved in the end, there is no intention to let Liu Ziren, Zhang Jiusi and other unruly leaders leave alive.
"Hiss" The other Mongolian officials also trembled in their hearts.
The eyes that secretly looked at Qi Zhedu were filled with fear.
They usually rely on the legacy of their ancestors, but they have never paid much attention to Zuo Cheng, a small province like Qizhedu.
Who would have thought that this guy who was regarded as a clay Buddha by everyone still had such a sharp knife hidden in his heart.
If he used the same fierce force to deal with everyone, even if they had nine lives, they would have died long ago.
How about calling now if there is still a chance?
Thinking of this, the Mongolian officials immediately surrendered and promised obediently that before dark, they would send their servants to the government office to wait for Master Zuo Cheng's dispatch.
Qi Zhedu, Zuo Cheng of Henan Jiangbei Province, didn't think too much about himself.
He smiled and said in a low voice: "If my brother has offended any of you brothers today, please don't take it personally.
After Zhu Tuhu is defeated, , Brother, I will naturally set up a few tables in the largest restaurant in the city and apologize to you on the spot."
"Don't dare, don't dare, Master Zuo Cheng is doing it for everyone's good."
The hereditary Mongolian officials waved their hands again and again, their attitudes completely different from before.
"It's good that everyone understands my brother's difficulties."
Zuo Cheng Qizhe of Henan Jiangbei Province smiled and continued, "Brother, I have also heard that Butcher Zhu is not an easy person to kill.
But if you give your head to others, It's not as safe as holding it in his own hand.
Moreover, although Zhu Bayi has not been teased by the killer, he has nothing to do with the big salt merchants in Huai'an City.
No mercy.
Although there are rumors that the salt merchants conspired to harm him, who can guarantee that Zhu Butcher didn't set the trap first and asked the salt merchants to dig in?
The owner of hundreds of thousands of dollars has spent several years of military expenses by killing them.
To be honest, if it were my brother, I wouldn’t be able to help but find a reason to kill them.”
His words were not only heartfelt, but also had a hidden edge.
After hearing this, the hereditary Mongolian officials immediately sighed and nodded, "Master Zuo Cheng is right, that Zhu Ba11 is obviously going for other people's family business.
I thought the matter was too simple before. , thank you for your reminder, otherwise, I would have been kept in the dark until my death."
"We are all Mongolians, how could I trick you?"
Qizhedu, Zuo Cheng of Jiangbei Province, Henan, also sighed with everyone and nodded with a smile.
"Everyone, don't look at Zhu Butcher's pride now, but his rabbit's tail can't grow.
I heard from the elders in the capital city that the imperial court has also made cannons, and there are hundreds or even thousands of them at one time.
Master Tuotuo also Congling The two provinces of Bei and Liaoyang have mobilized enough troops and horses, and only need to prepare enough military supplies before they can head south.
At that time, it will be either Bianliang or Huai'an.
In short, those who surrender Zhu Tuhu now may not have any good fruits. " "Tuotuo, Prime Minister Tuotuo is preparing to go south again."
The hereditary officials were surprised and happy, and asked loudly.
Surprisingly, it turns out that Qi Zhedu is also a master with great eyes and hands, but he usually behaves in a low-key manner.
Fortunately, if Tuotuo's army goes south, Zhu Tutu's soldiers and horses will definitely be unstable.
As long as everyone can rely on the strong walls of Gaoyou City to defend for two or three months, the red scarf thieves will probably go back to their respective homes for the sake of the peace of their lair.
It is impossible to fight to the death with everyone.
"It's coming soon, within a month or two.
And I can also tell you for sure that Prime Minister Tuotuo urges Huai'an to be pacified first.
It's just that there are people in the court who are ignorant and obstructive, so they can't decide on the direction of the first attack for the time being.

That's all."
Qizhe smiled and continued to nod lightly.
At this time, the hereditary Mongols really felt reassured, and they all expressed their intention to follow Qizhedu and live and die with Gaoyou.
We will never let Butcher Zhu do what he did when he attacked Huai'an a few months ago and didn't even meet any serious resistance.
"Master Tuotuo can really come and sweep the Huaihe River first as he wishes."
Only the Han prefect Li Qi was not as ignorant as the hereditary Mongolian officials.
He secretly glanced at Qi Zhedu, who had a mysterious face, and asked secretly in his heart.
If Timur was defeated first, Tuotuo would definitely be able to decide the direction of the main attack.
After all, his friendship with the emperor was there.
As the right secretary of the dynasty, his power and prestige were enough that the ministers in the dynasty would not easily block his proposal.
However, Timur had just suffered a defeat, and Tuotuo, who was the right prime minister of Zhongshu, thought of his brotherhood and refused to hold this person accountable.
In this way, it is equivalent to taking the initiative to hand over the handle to political opponents Hama, Tulu Timur, Xuexue and others.
In the heart of Emperor Tuohuan Timur, Tuotuo's image quickly transformed from a capable minister to a powerful minister.
At this moment, if the DPRK and China are really arguing about the main direction of the next counter-insurgency attack, Tuo Tuo may not be able to keep his word.
"Okay, let's go back and rest first."
Keenly aware of the difference in Li Qi's demeanor, Qi Zhedu glanced at him secretly, and then continued to say to his brothers of the same race, "Just send the servants over in time.
As for I don’t dare bother you with the matter of defending the city.
Magistrate Li and I can handle it.
If it doesn’t work, I’ll send someone to ask for help.”
"Then I'd rather be respectful than obey orders."
The hereditary Mongolian officials wished they were farther away from the battlefield.
They happily raised their hands and said goodbye to Qizhedu.
The latter took them out of the gate with several important figures in the government office.
When he turned around, he immediately changed his face to another solemn expression, "The thieves are coming fiercely.
I guess Baoying can hold on at most."
It will take about ten days.
Therefore, I plan to set up the second line of defense between Fanshui Village and Shijiabao.
There is a Fan River between the two places, and if the management is good, we can drag more rebels up.
Ten days shouldn’t be a problem.”
"In my humble position, I would like to invite a general to guard Fanshui Village."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Lian, the political advisor, offered his hand and volunteered.
"The last general is willing to go to Shoushijiapu."
The Uyghur general Guo Guotai followed suit and bowed, willing to advance and retreat side by side with Zhao Lian.
"I can only give each of you five thousand salt cubes.
For other generals, you can take Hua Fu, Zhang Si, Zhang Jiuliu, Li Boxheng and their respective men."
Qi Zhedu looked at it.
The two of them nodded happily.
"Remember, don't go out to fight with Zhu Tutu, just defend by the river.
You also directly collect the soldiers and horses that were defeated by Baoying and let them defend the city together.
If you can't hold it anymore, you two go to Gaoyou Lake They retreated to Sheyang Lake.
Then one returned to Gaoyou by water, and the other went directly to Xinghua.
The main tactic was to drag the red scarf thieves out, the easier it would be for me to fight in the back."
"Yes" Zhao Lian and Guo Guotai bowed and saluted again, each received a general's order and went out to gather troops.
Nodding approvingly at the backs of the two of them, Qi Zhedu turned his back to Li Qi and whispered, "The morale cannot be discouraged, so no matter where Prime Minister Tuotuo goes next, you and I must insist on telling everyone that he is going to Come to Gaoyou first” "I understand, I just made waves."
Magistrate Li Qi blushed, cupped his hands and apologized to the other party.

"It's not my fault that you are a civil servant and don't understand the principle that a soldier never tires of deception.
Sometimes, you want to deceive not only your enemies, but also your own people."
Qizhe smiled, turned his back to him and continued to shake his head and sigh, " The country's affairs are difficult, and you and I must work together.
Don't take those people's nonsense to heart.
In fact, since His Majesty came to the throne, he has no longer deliberately distinguished who is a Mongolian official, who is a Semu official, and who is a Han official.
To be honest, myself included.
They speak much more fluently than Mongolian."
These words can be regarded as speaking from the bottom of my heart.
Li Qi was moved to tears.
He bowed down and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is a wise and wise sir.
You are kind and kind.
I'm humble, how dare you care about a few unreasonable nonsense?
I'm humble, I'm willing to live and die with you and Gaoyou City."
"You probably won't die, but you and I will definitely have a tough fight next."
Qi Zhedu smiled again and confessed to Li Qi very frankly, "That Zhu Butcher can also be called a cautious person.
From his perspective, After taking Huai'an, we can deduce that since he dared to come this time, he must be determined to win Gaoyou, so the two lines of defense of Baoying and Fan Shui may not be able to really determine the outcome. , still under Gaoyou City .
I have written a request for help to the imperial court, handed it to my confidant, and secretly sent it out on the cargo ship going north.
In the same year, I also wrote a letter to Dong Mengqi, deputy envoy of Xuanwei in eastern Zhejiang, asking him to lead troops.
Come to help.
He last year Just when he was about to have a showdown with Guo Zixing, he was forced to let Guo Zixing live because of the civil unrest in Zhejiang and Zhejiang provinces.
This time, he heard that Guo Zixing was also looking for death, so he would not do it again.
Missed opportunity”
"Sir, you are brilliant."
Li Qi was overjoyed when he heard this, and most of the worries in his heart immediately flew away.
Dong Tuanxiao and Dong Mengqi were not ordinary civil servants.
Among the students who studied at the Imperial College at the same time as him, he was the only one who came from a Han military family.
Not only is the article beautifully crafted, but the effort put into it is also top-notch.
It is not an exaggeration to describe it with the words "both civil and military".
Note 1 Not only that, after Dong Tuanxiao was released as an official, bandits would inevitably disappear wherever he went.
Local cases of unjust imprisonment and bullying of men and women have also been significantly reduced.
Both the official and the private sector have praised him highly.
With such a powerful general in the world who has a distinguished reputation and outstanding achievements in quelling chaos, it is no wonder that Qi Zhedu is always calm and calm today.
When everyone was dragging Butcher Zhu to exhaustion at the foot of Gaoyou City, Dong Tuanxiao suddenly led his army to kill him from the waterway.
The five red scarf thieves must have come and gone, and it’s too late to regret it.
Note 1: According to official history, Dong Tuanxiao was a fierce general in the late Yuan Dynasty.
He defeated Guo Zixing, Liu Futong and others many times, but was later killed by the red scarf general Mao Gui
