Master From the King's Fort Chapter 131

The commander of the Left Tunwei in Yingzhou was named Cai Fang. He was promoted for his military achievements and was almost fifty years old.

Because he had no roots, he was transferred from the frontier to Yingzhou. There, he was always suppressed by the co-magistrate Sun Lian, excluded by his colleagues, and became depressed and frustrated.

When the Tatars attacked the border, the Miyun Guard and Chaohe Guard rushed to ask for help one after another, and the commander was willing to help. However, Sun Tongzhi had a grudge against the Miyun Guard commander, and he found all kinds of excuses to win over the generals of the Guard and obstruct the dispatch of troops to reinforce.

When the commander insisted on giving the order, Sun Tongzhi threatened him with "disobeying the emperor's order, arbitrarily mobilizing troops, and plotting against the government", and confined him to the palace.

From his family members, he learned that the Tatars had successively broken through Chaoheso, Miyunhouwei, Caojiazhai and other places, and that the fast horses asking for help had arrived several times, but there was still no movement from Weizhong. The commander was furious and went directly to find Sun Tongzhi, but was repeatedly ridiculed by the other party. After returning home, he spit out blood and fainted on the ground.
