Chapter 4: The Great Wise Man in Miaojiang (2)

At the same time, Wu Heimiao received news from the Miao people in Yuanling City. The Beijing court sent a Miao minister to deal with matters involving Miao. He only knew that his surname was Huang, and there were a thousand cavalrymen. At the same time, Huang Zongxi also learned from the Han people expelled by Wu Heimiao that Wu Heimiao had four great generals, three sons, a beloved woman and a mysterious wizard, a wise man and a military advisor. It can be said that neither side fully knew the other party’s background. Cao Hu didn’t know what to do, but only knew from the expelled Han people that Cao Hu helped them. The situation changed so much that it was hard to figure out, and even the air revealed a discomfortable depression.

Too calm, it definitely does not bode well!

Xiong Tingbi was shocked when he received an urgent report from Zheng Nansheng. The general of the army was actually poisoned in his military camp. Life was worse than death. He quickly summoned Hong Chenggong, Bi Zisu and Sun Chuanting and three others to discuss secretly.

The situation was urgent, and Zuo Liangyu could not speak or move. The 40,000 to 50,000 troops had no chief general, so the morale of the army must be unstable. Huang Zongxi was just a minister of Miao affairs, and Zuo Liangyu's army did not leave for the purpose of pacifying Miao. Of course, it also came with this responsibility, but was taken away by an imperial edict by the emperor. Therefore, Huang Zongxi and Zuo Liangyu's army were not affiliated with each other. Huang Zongxi had no right to command Zuo Liangyu's army, and Zuo Liangyu's deputy general Zheng Nansheng did not dare to send troops to pacify Miao without authorization, so one person must be in charge of the overall situation. The four people here are only Xiong Tingbi's qualifications, and the other three may not be able to suppress the situation. Anyway, Wei Zhongxian could not transfer the army to attack in the short term, and Wuchang was temporarily safe, so he decided to go to Xiangxi in person.

Just when Xiong Tingbi told Hong Chenggong and others about his matters after leaving Wuchang, two imperial edicts were passed to his Governor's Office. One was that Sun Chuanting, who was counseling military affairs, was promoted to Hunan Governor's governor. After conquering Changsha, he went to the capital to perform his duties immediately. The other was that Hong Chenggong's official position was removed from the position of Huguang Censor, and was transferred to Hunan Censor and the imperial envoy to suppress rebellions in Miaojiang. Both ordered Xiong Tingbi to allocate military horses on the spot to command Hong Chenggong. At the same time, Xiong Tingbi

Bi also received a strategy of suppressing rebellion submitted by the Junji Pavilion. In this way, Xiong Tingbi himself was in Wuchang and instead Hong Chenggong went to Xiangxi to coordinate and command everything. According to the strategy of suppressing rebellion of the Junji Pavilion, Xiong Tingbi allocated the 40,000 troops under Zuo Liangyu to Hong Chenggong for command. After the 80,000 troops led by Yang Zhaoji who attacked Changsha, he also distributed half of the troops to enter Xiangxi according to the deployment of the Junji Pavilion and unified the command of Hong Chenggong.

Hong Chenggong had already led his troops to fight again, but he was now the Minister of Coast Defense and dealing with water. He had nothing to do on land. After the Dongting Lake Naval Division was wiped out, the pseudo-Ming's water power on the Yangtze River was basically in a stalemate stage, and even in terms of momentum, it was a little higher than the south. Therefore, there was basically no war since the beginning of winter, so this imperial edict was very much in his wishes. So after receiving the imperial edict, he quickly selected more than a hundred personal guards from his navy, and took people to the official road towards Yuanling early the next morning.

After listening to the suggestion of military advisor Zhuoba, Wu Heimiao agreed to all four conditions proposed by Magu. First of all, he announced to the Miao people in Miaojiang that he had divorced all the concubines, including Yin Ji. When the news reached Ma Mansion, the old official Ma's chin was almost falling and he ran all the way to the attic where his daughter lived. He wanted to tell his daughter the bad news quickly.

Which girl is not in love with her? Since Wu Heimiao's marriage proposal messenger came, Magu has not even taken a step in her embroidery building in the past few days. At this moment, she is humming an unknown mountain song, her hand is flying in needlework, and her mood is particularly comfortable. Female red is one of the essential skills of Chinese women. Magu has been deeply influenced by Sinology since childhood. Magu also hired a famous female red artist for her to be her teacher. Therefore, Magu's female red skills are not inferior to many skillful Chinese women.

"Magu, why do you still have the heart to embroider things here?" Old Official Ma came upstairs, and saw that his daughter was so leisurely and proud. She was angry and anxious, and she couldn't help but feel a little resentment.

Magu looked at her father in surprise. She seemed to have never seen her father as in a mess in her memory as she is now. She put down the front in her hand and asked, "Dad, what happened to you that makes you so anxious?"

"Oh, daughter, you're in trouble. Wu Heimiao suddenly announced today that he would divorce the concubines he had married before, especially the Yin Ji, whom he loved the most, also let him drive him out of the door." Old Official Ma scratched his ears and heads, and was anxious to turn around.

After hearing this, Magu not only did not show a surprised expression, but instead laughed and said, "Isn't this great?"

"It's okay?" Old Guan Ma widened his eyes and looked at his daughter with an incredible look on his face. He thought to himself, wouldn't his daughter be so anxious? Can she say such words?

"What's wrong with it? Dad, he drove all his women out of the house. With his lustful nature, Dad, how many days do you think he can stand it?" Magu didn't want to see his father's emotional fluctuations because of his own affairs. He picked up the mandarin duck brocade handkerchief in his hand and continued to embroider, asking while embroidering.

Mr. Ma was too concerned about his daughter, but instead lost his previous wisdom. After being so little, Mr. Ma immediately understood and slapped his thighs and said, "Good daughter, you are so smart, why didn't my dad think of it?"

"My dad cares about his daughter too much. It's a mess. My dad loves his daughter so much. My dad must find a filial son-in-law for his father. Do you think it's okay?" Magu put down the needle and thread in his hand, showed a cute smile, and hugged Ma Laoguan's neck and said coquettishly.

"You, please pick up what my father likes to hear!" Old Official Puppy pinched Magu's pink and tender nose in a doting way, and Lao Huai smiled comfortably.

"Hey, Ma Gu, my father usually sees you either embroidering flowers or embroidering grass, or embroidering tigers, rabbits, etc., why did you embroider the mandarin ducks today?" Ma Laoguan's eyes suddenly fell on the half-complete embroidery in Ma Gu's hand, and pointed at the two almost finished mandarin ducks on it.

Magu's pink and white face turned shyly and replied, "My daughter is just embroidering and playing with it."

"Oh, Dad understand!" Old Guan Ma said with a sudden realization.

"Dad, what do you understand?" Magu lowered his head in shame and asked in a low voice.

"My father's baby daughter is finally in love with her. She wants to get married!" Ma Laoguan has always been worried that his daughter will not be able to get married because her daughter is so outstanding. Among the Miao people, there are very few people who can match her daughter. But there is not a single one who can love her. In recent years, he has had several hair whiter for Magu's lifelong affairs. However, Magu has always seemed to have no idea of ​​getting married. If it weren't for Wu Heimiao's almost forced marriage, I guess this girl would have considered her lifelong happiness!

"Dad, I haven't told you about my daughter. My daughter will never marry for the rest of her life, so I will accompany my father for the rest of her life!" Magu said shyly.

"Good baby, you have grown up and you will always get married. What's the point of staying with your father?" Ma Laoguan was thinking of marrying into a son-in-law so that he could have an heir for such a big family business. But he respected Magu's ideas and never expressed his thoughts to Magu.

Ma Gu knew the most about her father's thoughts. If she married a faraway place, she would leave her father alone to guard a deserted home. She felt uncomfortable. So for several years, her father had been planning to take advantage of her husband. No matter what she liked or didn't like, she refused, in order to spend more time with her father.

"Dad, let your daughter stay with you for a few more years. Is it okay? If there is a suitable one, whether the daughter is marrying or marrying into the other party, my daughter will listen to you." Magu said with some moist eyes.

"What should Wu Heimiao do? It seems that he is bound to win you!" Old Master Ma sighed.

"Dad, don't worry, my daughter has her own strategy to deal with him!" Magu said confidently.

Ma Laoguan was still a little confident about his daughter's intelligence, but when he thought that the other party was Wu Heimiao, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. Wu Heimiao's generals and talents were full of talents. It was probably difficult for everyone to rely on his daughter's wisdom alone. In particular, there was a great wizard, the great wise man and his daughter. Both of them had the intelligence of their daughter, which was very difficult to deal with. Just thinking that it was necessary to remind her daughter not to underestimate the enemy, but then she thought that her daughter's wisdom was far above her, and she was not the kind of person who was arrogant. It was okay to remind her well. If this reminder deepened the burden on her daughter's heart, it would be more than worth it. The words to her lips turned into a sigh in her heart.

Three days have passed in a row. Wu Heimiao, who is not happy every night, is a huge torture. Whenever he sees Yin Ji's hot body, he will sit beside him, but he will pretend to be a serious gentleman who does not look squinting. He can't even touch the corner of Yin Ji's clothes. This torture makes Wu Heimiao's temper become more and more irritable, but the warning of the military advisor Zhuoba is in his heart. As long as he touches other women before getting married to Magu, then all his efforts will be done.

All his previous efforts were wasted. As long as Magu caught a little evidence, Wu Heimiao would never have the face to go to the Ma family to propose marriage, and his reputation would plummet. On the contrary, if he did it, Wu Heimiao's reputation would definitely reach its peak. It would not be difficult to reorganize a plate of loose Miao people. At that time, what he would get will be ten times and a hundred times the support, and the grand career is just around the corner! So Wu Heimiao endured the torture of inner desire.
