In particular, the imperial court responded so quickly to the severe drought in Shaanxi. In a short period of time, it raised the food for disaster relief and extinguished the potential danger at the last minute.

Regarding the series of measures taken by the imperial court to deal with the severe drought in Shaanxi, Sun Chengzong would nod his head and praise every time he thought of it. The only doubt in his heart was where did so much relief food come from.

It was so much that he could transfer 100 million shi of grain to Liaodong. For this reason, he used his identity as a Liaodong economic strategist to check the place where Jinyiwei stored grain, and saw that every shi of grain was high-quality fine grain.

This made him very puzzled. When did the imperial court have enough food to provide disaster relief?

With all kinds of doubts in his heart, Sun Chengzong felt that the court had changed and became less and less familiar to him.

While thinking, he heard the sound of galloping horses, and then he looked up and saw a cavalry galloping towards him. It was Yebu who he sent to the capital early in the morning, and Yebu took it back. (Ye Bu Shou: that is, the name of the Tanma, the Sentinel in the Ming Dynasty.)

Seeing Ye Bushou galloping back, Sun Chengzong said, "Here we are."

After the voice fell, the ground seemed to be hit hard, followed by the sound of rainy drums, the sound was dull and orderly, as if these Liaodong military generals who came to welcome them were placed on golden iron horses.

This rhythmic sound penetrated the air through the ground. For many years in the military, the Liaodong military generals present only heard the sound, and knew that the sound was caused by a large number of cavalry rushing, and it was a group of well-trained cavalry.

Suddenly the generals became a little confused and cursed.

"Grandma, when did the Jurchen cavalry enter the Central Plains?"

"Impossible. If the Jurchen entered the Central Plains, Shanhaiguan would not know about it."

"Quick, Mr. Jinglue is still ahead."

......

The sudden situation made these Liaodong military generals panic for a moment, thinking that the Jurchens ran into the Central Plains from some corner.

Fortunately, when Sun Chengzong saw the commotion behind him, he yelled loudly: "What is the chaos? It should be normal for Liaodong military generals to fight Jurchens. Can't you even tell if this is the voice of a Jurchens cavalry?"

After being told by Sun Chengzong, these military generals came to their senses. After listening carefully, their old faces blushed, and some blurted out: "Grandma's a claw, I'm so scared. When will we have cavalry in Ming Dynasty who can do this? ? Listening to the sound, even Guan Ning’s iron cavalry is inferior,......”

Although the general was cursing, his curiosity betrayed his envy.

"No, this sound is not up to the level of the Jurchen at first, but it is slightly higher when you listen carefully. At least if there is really a large group of cavalry in front, the sound of the rushing sound is too neat, just like..." The general who listened to the voice couldn't find the words to describe it.

Hearing this, another general said: "A person, it's like a person riding a horse."

"No, it's two people. Please listen carefully. The sound is slightly different in the landing point. There is a sound of a horse's hoof falling quickly, just like a commanding general, controlling the fall of the horse's hoof behind. The speed is average." A bearded, mighty-looking man corrected him.

Sun Chengzong glanced approvingly at the mighty man who had just spoken, and then stopped his subordinates from arguing: "Okay, the voice is coming soon, everyone, get ready, and when you see it in a while, you will know what happened."

It is said that these Liaodong military generals who were arguing about the sound of horseshoes returned to their original positions one after another, waiting in full force, looking at the two large flags that gradually appeared not far ahead, at this time they were curious about the Jinyiwei Tiqi sent by the imperial court.

In just a short breath, the cavalry team under the two flags revealed their entire lineup. It was the wolf cavalry guards led by Li Mu. After a day of regular raids, they finally arrived at Shanhaiguan.

At first, when Li Mu saw the shadow of Shanhaiguan, he ordered the wolf cavalry guards to rush towards Shanhaiguan in high spirits.

This is why the Liaodong military generals led by Sun Chengzong, after hearing the voice, mistook him for an enemy attack when the Jurchens entered the pass.

Dressed in red, he approached the welcoming crowd at Shanhaiguan like a billowing red stream, until Li Mu, the only one among them, who was wearing a bright yellow armor, reined in the horse's reins not far from Sun Chengzong, and the red flood stopped. .

Otherwise, the generals who came to greet them would definitely think that these cavalry would really charge over.

However, when I saw the red torrent stop, I was relieved and shocked at the mastery of these cavalrymen's horse control skills. Just like they discussed before, these cavalrymen in red armor were like a person running on horseback. , After seeing Li Mu stop, there was no confusion, and all of them stopped the horse under the crotch immediately, not at all as if they were running fast just now.

Li Mu reined in his horse and saw the team in front of him. First of all, he recognized Sun Chengzong, the governor of Liaodong. Facing this loyal minister in the history of the late Ming Dynasty, he still resisted the Jurchen invasion at the age of 76, and finally died for the country.

Li Mu didn't dare to trust such a pure person in history, so he immediately dropped the reins in his hand, got off his horse, and took two quick steps to follow the path of courtesy.

"Commander Li Mu of Jin Yiwei has seen Master Sun."

Sun Chengzong was taken aback by Li Mu's enthusiasm, and then he smiled and said, "Master Li, I never thought that the imperial court would send a commander of Jin Yiwei to lead the team to the border of Liaodong. I really didn't expect it."

"Where, the Empress Dowager and the imperial court have orders, and some of the current officials do not obey orders." Li Mu would not say that this was all arranged by him.

Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "As a subject, you must act according to orders."

.....

After exchanging pleasantries at Shanhaiguan, Sun Chengzong suggested, "Master Li, how about going to the Liaodong military camp and discussing in detail?"

"Okay, it's all up to Mr. Sun." Li Mu nodded, as if to do whatever he wanted.

Not long after, Li Mu and Sun Chengzong entered a Liaodong military camp near Shanhaiguan. Of course, the wolf cavalry guards also entered the military camp behind them.

In the military barracks, Li Mu and Sun Chengzong are sitting in the middle seat on the general platform, with Liaodong military generals as foils on both sides.

Sitting down, Sun Chengzong took a sip of tea, looked at the neat wolf cavalry below and said: "Master Li, these Jinyi guard cavalry are extraordinary, and their posture is comparable to Guan Ning's cavalry."

"Master Sun has good eyesight." Without humility, Li Mu pointed to the wolf cavalry guards under the stage and said: "The wolf cavalry guards under my command can be said that no one can surpass the cavalry of Ming Dynasty."

"As for the Guanning cavalry? It's not bad to be able to face off against the Jurchen cavalry."

There was a hint of contempt in his tone, implying that Guan Ning cavalry was not as good as wolf cavalry, but only comparable to Jurchen cavalry.

Indeed, as Li Mu said, the Guan Ning Iron Cavalry has been able to fight head-on against the Jurchen cavalry in history, and it is already a pretty strong army. , this kind of weapon has thorns all over its body, which can be used in long-distance combat or as a mace in close combat. It can be regarded as the most advanced cavalry weapon at that time.

However, when Li Mu said this, it was obviously provocative.

Sun Chengzong, who was seated in the main seat, didn't care much after hearing this, it was all assumed that Li Mu had no experience in leading the army, and officials from the court liked to be defiant, and planned to laugh it off.

But a reckless general next to him couldn't sit still.

The reckless general stood up and shouted: "What? This lord from the capital, why do you say that our Liaodong Guanning cavalry is not as good as your silver spears and wax heads? Except that the armor is more colorful, I don't think it's much of a big deal."

Sun Chengzong, who was at the side, saw that Ai Jiang was so reckless, and hurriedly scolded: "What is Man Gui doing, why don't you apologize to Lord Li, step back!"

"Oh, wait for Master Sun, let him finish." Li Mu immediately became interested when he heard the name of this reckless general. He picked up his teacup and looked at Man Gui to defend Guan Ning's cavalry with great interest.

"Just say it." Man Gui, who stood up, was also a bachelor, looked at Li Mu and said, "I, Man Gui, don't understand the truth, but I have something to say, it's a mule or a horse that comes out to walk around."

Li Mu asked, "How did you slip?"

Man Gui said with great confidence to Guan Ning's iron cavalry: "The two armies are facing each other, as long as the wolf cavalry guards of the adults can win, Man Gui will lose."

"Okay, this seat agrees, let the wolf cavalry guards meet for a while, the number one iron cavalry in Liaodong, Guan Ning cavalry." After finishing speaking, Li Mu changed the subject: "However, if this seat wins, your title will be returned to you. seat."

"Okay." Man Gui asked: "Then what about the adults losing?"

"I lost?" Li Mu smiled, but still said: "If the wolf cavalry loses, I will play the Queen Mother, how about making you Man Gui the commander of the Guanning iron cavalry?"

After finishing speaking, Li Mu looked at Man Gui. He also thought of this reward temporarily. He expressed his dislike for Zu Dashou, but it was impossible for the Wolf Riders to lose. manner.

What Li Mu said proves that this gamble has become a foregone conclusion.
