The first two pieces of news are closely related to Zhao Muyun personally. Whether to pay attention to them and how to respond depends mainly on Zhao Muyun personally.
But the third piece of news was extraordinary.
I didn’t expect that Li Jingang had such a strategy and he is such a great man in the army!
Zhao Muyun just asked Pei Liao about Pei Lun's whereabouts. When he learned that Pei Lun was going to Xijing, he felt that something was wrong.
Now the information sent by Wang Tiezhu echoes that of Pei Liao.
It turned out that Pei Lun went to Xijing because Li Jingang's army had reached Xijing.
"Xijing is the key point of Dayin. Once it is captured by Li Jingang, it will be like losing a vital part of Dayin."
"The population, resources, and geographical location are enough for Li Jingang to become the king and dominate the area, competing with Dayin."
Zhao Muyun frowned.
"Brother Zhao, is there anything you need us to do now?" Wang Tiezhu asked immediately when he saw Zhao Muyun's serious expression, as if he had thought of something.
"Pei Liao is also keeping an eye on Xijing's movements!"
Zhao Muyun said slowly, "Since you already have someone to send to gather intelligence, then keep a close eye on Li Jingang's movements."
"Li Jingang's power is growing. He's not only a threat to the imperial court, but also a huge threat to us."
"If the Minister of War sent by the court fails this time, the court will most likely transfer us to quell the rebellion. This is a situation I don't want to see!"
Wang Tiezhu was puzzled: "Brother Zhao, it's a good thing that the court has sent us to quell the rebellion. Doesn't this mean we can kill the enemy and gain merit?"
"Zhu Zi, we've had it so easy these past six months! Although we're dedicated to fighting for our country, many people in the court don't see it that way."
"We will not be allowed to go to the battlefield again unless it is absolutely necessary."
"This period of time is just right for us to rest and recuperate."
"Therefore, I certainly hope that this Minister Yang can put down the rebellion."
Zhao Muyun said slowly.
At this moment, he thought of Fan Nan, the Minister of War who had helped him.
I wonder if Fan Nan is doing well in Lingnan now?
Zhao Muyun could never forget that when Fan Nan asked his personal guard Fan Tong and others to come and seek refuge with him, Fan Tong left angrily because Zhao Muyun and Pei Lun got along very well.
But Zhao Muyun could understand Fan Tong's confusion.
He was in a low position at the time and his words had little influence, so even if he stood up, he couldn't say anything for Fan Nan.
Fortunately, he traded the captured family members of King Zhelan with Pei Lun in exchange for saving Fan Nan from death and exiling him instead.
However, Fan Tong did not understand all this at all. He thought that Zhao Muyun was treacherous and would immediately go find a new master after Fan Nan fell.
Now, Zhao Muyun has become the governor of several prefectures and the captain of the Pinglu Army. With the record of defeating two Tartar cavalry commanders and several heavyweight silver-armored thousand-man commanders, he finally has some say.
Zhao Muyun secretly vowed to bring Fan Nan back from Lingnan.
"I'll do whatever Brother Zhao says!" Wang Tiezhu nodded firmly.
"Well, in addition to keeping a close eye on Li Jingang's movements, do you still remember our surprise attack and decapitation operation against Subutai in the Flying Tiger Territory?" Zhao Muyun asked.
"Of course I remember. More than 20 of us launched a surprise attack in the early morning, broke into Subutai's camp, and captured him alive." Wang Tiezhu was beaming with joy when he talked about this.
Subuchi was naturally treated as a trophy and sent to the capital along with the victory report.
Originally, Zhao Muyun planned to exchange him for money with the Northern Di Chanyu, but there was no response at all. He then realized that once the Tartars were captured, they would either die or never be able to return!
After returning, he will only be a disgrace to the Northern Di people and be despised by everyone.
The Tatar generals were different from King Zhelan's family members. They would rather die than be captured.
Therefore, Mahmud, a Northern Di official who was captured in Shulechuan, chose to surrender to Zhao Muyun and spared no effort to smuggle salt for Zhao Muyun in the Mobei grassland.
Also captured on the battlefield like Subuchi was Murong Chunhua, the son of Murong Hu, the chief of the Murong tribe who was subdued by King Loufan.
This man is now imprisoned in the Shuozhou prison. He keeps crying out to see Zhao Muyun, saying that his injury has healed and he wants to fight Tang Yanhai again.
Zhao Muyun and Tang Yanhai were busy with military affairs and had no time to deal with him for the time being.
The Murong tribe probably didn't have the same rules as the Tatars in treating captured people.
But would Murong Hu, who was living under someone else's roof, choose to give up his son out of resentment in order to gain a foothold in front of King Loufan?
"If you have elite men, you can kill a few rebel leaders appropriately."
Zhao Muyun reminded him, "But this is done on the premise of ensuring your own safety. Otherwise, if you fail to escape unscathed, the beheading will be a failed operation!"
Hearing this, Wang Tiezhu's eyes lit up. "Don't worry, Brother Zhao. Among the one hundred people currently training in Black Camel Mountain, I'm optimistic about many who have potential in this area! Now that you mention it, I'll convert their training into actual combat exercises."
"How you arrange it is up to you. Remember what I said. You must make sure you escape safely. Once you are in danger of being captured, you must act decisively." Zhao Muyun said seriously.
"I understand, Brother Zhao!"
Wang Tiezhu paused, saluted Zhao Muyun, and hurried away.
"Remember to come to my wedding and attend the military training class!"
"No problem, I will be back on time."
Wang Tiezhu turned around and smiled naturally and calmly, revealing his two fangs.
At this moment, Zhao Muyun's left eyelid suddenly twitched. Looking at Wang Tiezhu's back, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.
He shook his head, collected his thoughts, and strode back to the hall.
Yin Ji, Bai Ruolan, Pei Liao, Du Zhong, Huan Kui and others were discussing something intensely, but when they saw Zhao Muyun come in, they all fell silent.
