Datong Town repelled the invading Tartar cavalry, and the memorial of Governor Liu Tianhe was soon passed to the capital.

In the memorial, Liu Tianhe made a detailed report on the process of the Tartar invasion. It seemed that there was no problem, but this process seemed to be developing in a direction that was beneficial to him.

At first, he judged that the Tartars would raid the Yulin Guard in the northwest of Datong Town, so he led the elite border troops of Datong Town to garrison the Yulin Guard in advance.

Sure enough, the main force of the Taurus cavalry immediately crossed the Great Wall outside the pass and headed straight for the Yulin Guard. Fortunately, he had already led his army to be on guard in the Yulin Guard. The main force of the Taurus cavalry failed in the first battle and soon retreated to the outside world. Unfortunately, the Taurus cavalry had two separate divisions breaking into the vicinity of Yanghewei and Zhenlu Guard, and flew to Datong Prefecture City and Weizhou.

When he received the news, he immediately reported to the court, requested reinforcements, and personally led the elite troops of the Datong border army back to defend Datong Prefecture City.

Fortunately, the two side divisions of the Taurus cavalry did not rage in Datong Town for long. The Taurus cavalry that fled into Weizhou was soon repelled by the elite border troops of Xuanfu Town who were ordered to come to support. Then, the Taurus cavalry that fled into Datong Town near Datong Town was also driven away by the elite border troops of Datong Town, Taiyuan Town and Xuanfu Town.

Less than five days before and after the Tartars invaded, there were no casualties between the military households and civilians in Datong Town. Instead, the Tartar cavalry who fled into Weizhou were surrounded by elite border troops led by Yang Cong, the governor of Xuanfu, and suffered heavy casualties.

In his memorial, he also listed in detail the achievements of Yang Cong, the governor of Xuanfu in the Battle of Guangling, while in the other two places, he stated that because the time of fighting was too short, the Taurus cavalry retreated too quickly, and the achievements were quite small.

This memorial does not look like Datong Town was captured by the Tatar cavalry, but the three elite roadside troops of Datong Town, Taiyuan Town and Xuanfu Town jointly blocked the invasion of the Tatar cavalry and achieved the final victory.

It can be said that most of the memorials are true, and Yang Cong's contributions are also real. He did not fake it, nor did he count Yang Cong's contributions on himself. He just changed the concept and portrayed the incident of the Tatar cavalry breaking through Datong Town as he joined forces with the elite border troops of Taiyuan Town and Xuanfu Town to actively resist the invasion of the Tatar cavalry.

In this way, he not only did not make any mistakes, but made achievements. After all, it is very common for Tartar cavalry to invade the northwest border towns. As long as the military households and civilians in the border town have no losses and they will repel the Tartar cavalry in time, it would be good. If there is a victory, it would be considered a contribution.

His memorial was indeed written with great skill, but unfortunately, he made a fatal mistake, that is, he should not have performed his merits for Yang Cong in the memorial.

This is how it is these days. Ability and achievements are secondary. The important thing is to take the team. As long as you take the team correctly, even a corrupt official can reach the top. If you stand in the wrong team, it will be useless even if you work hard and make great contributions.

At this moment, Xia Yan is the leader of the cabinet. Xia Yan has the final say in the memorial. Yang Cong and Xia Yan are definitely rivals. He has made contributions to Yang Cong in the memorial, which is a typical example of being in the wrong team.

When Xia Yan saw the memorial, he was immediately angry. What a thing, you dare to say good things to Yang Cong. Is it fake to be the chief minister of the cabinet?

He immediately wrote on the bill: "The crime of losing Datong Town is unforgivable, and he should be dismissed and investigated and arrested, and then arrested and returned to Beijing. The Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, and the Censorate's Office will be tried."

If this guy was Xia Yan's one-man show in the court, Liu Tianhe would be really finished.

Fortunately, the Yangming lineage was still in the court at this time, and Yang Cong's network of relationships was spread throughout the court. After reading Liu Tianhe's memorial, Yang Cong expected that Xia Yan would definitely be in trouble with him.

As the saying goes, "Do good things to the end and send them to the West." Yang Cong felt that Liu Tianhe was not bad and worthy of winning over. Therefore, when Liu Tianhe handed over the memorial, he also wrote a sealed letter, ordering people to send them to the capital for 800 miles in a hurry to Lu Bing.

In his letter, he also described the things that happened in Datong Town in detail, and even outlined the content of Liu Tianhe's memorial. In short, just one thing is that Liu Tian and this person have a clear grudge and deserve a guarantee.

Lu Bing certainly understood what Yang Cong meant. This was worthy of protection. It was not that he wanted to protect him alone, but that he wanted to mobilize the Yangming lineage to protect him. He could not protect Liu Tianhe alone. After all, he was just a commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei at this moment.

He quickly conveyed Yang Cong's meaning to the bosses of the Yangming lineage and asked them to come forward to protect Liu Tianhe. At this time, the war in the northwest was also a hot topic among the court officials. However, most of them were not Liu Tianhe, but Qiuluan, the Hou of Xianning.

What's going on?

Hou Qiuluan, Xianning, didn’t really fight with Ji Nang, and even if he really fought, the results he received were nothing compared to Yang Cong’s gains. For now, the court officials were hotly discussing the matter of Hou Qiuluan, Xianning, for now.

This was naturally made by Hou Qiuluan, Xianning himself. He spent a lot of money to fund Ji Nang 10,000 taels of silver and 300,000 shi of grain. Ji Nang asked him to play an offensive and defensive battle with him. At such a huge price, he naturally wanted to get more rewards.

For this reason, he asked his son Qiu Xiong to find Yan Shifan again.

Qiu Xiong is still a young man now. Of course, this does not mean that he has a brain problem. People will always go through the stage of being young and ignorant or naughty. However, some people are stunned for a short time, while others are stunned for a long time. If someone really has a brain problem, they may still be a young man in their forties or fifties.

Qiu Xiong is less than twenty years old now, and it was just a very shocking time. It was the same day that the day was just around the corner. As soon as the professor of the Imperial College announced the end of get out of class, he ran to Yan Shifan happily and smiled and said, "Brother Deqiu, I have something to do and I want to ask you for help. I wonder if Brother Deqiu has time to accompany me to have a drink of water and wine?"

This guy probably thought everything was familiar again and again. He thought that he had bribed Yan Shifan last time, and this time he was too lazy to say polite words, so he just asked someone for help.

Yan Shifan is helpless. At least he knows how to cover up the bribery, but you kid are afraid that others will not know.

He was really worried that this naughty green would say anything to help in front of so many classmates, so he would not be able to withstand his face.

He quickly got up and patted Qiu Xiong on the shoulder and said, "It just so happened that Brother Wei also wanted to have a few drinks today. Let's go and have a drink. Last time you invited me, and this time I will treat you, and we will be even."

Qiu Xiong was still waiting to talk, and Yan Shifan immediately pulled his arm and pulled it out.

The two of them came to the restaurant they often visited, booked a private room, ordered some wine and food. Yan Shifan took the initiative to ask, "Brother Junjie, what's going on this time?"

He also knew that it would be useless to follow the guy to play the game. People may not understand it, so it would be better to ask directly.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Xiong immediately smiled and said, "It's my father's business. Didn't my father make great contributions again this time? He wants to be a general, rule the nine borders, establish a military office, and take charge of military affairs. Brother Deqiu, do you think this matter can be accomplished?"

"Puff", Yan Shifan heard this and sprayed out all the tea he had just drunk.
