Chapter 423: Lonely Clouds in Northern Xinjiang
Agadorji was stunned and looked at Agadol Timur. The second prince of the Ross Department, who often quarrels with his sister, rarely maintained the same tone with Yuan Qi'er, "At least Mingren won't harm him." ”
What does this mean? The Ming people will not harm Sain Polo, so who will harm him, are we Chahar people? Agadorji's inquiring gaze glanced at the straightforward Bulta. The No. 1 general under Sain Polo did not react violently to the words of their siblings.
"The Ming people have sent back the Second Highness according to the agreement, and we must also keep our promises," Buerta's deep voice said, "Otherwise, it will harm the prince." ”
The positions of the three were surprisingly consistent.
Ashi Timur stood up and bowed slightly to Agadorji, "Second Highness, please use it slowly, Xiao Wang now has to go out and gather people to retreat, let Qizik and the envoy accompany the Second Highness here to have a few more drinks," his eyes stared at Bulta, "General Bulta, let's go." ”
Bulta rose in response.
"Lord Yu," Timur walked to the door of the tent and suddenly turned his head to look at Yu Qian, "Our department retreats according to the agreement, if the Second Highness has any unrighteous acts, it has nothing to do with us," and added, "Qizik, please explain more to the envoy for me." ”
"Got it," Yuan Qi'er's eyes moved, and he smiled at Yu Qian: "The grassland is different from the Ming Kingdom, it has always been the leader of the people, and my second brother can only control the special tribes, as for the Chahar people...... It depends on the attitude of His Royal Highness, please forgive me. ”
Yu Qian smiled and bowed his head lightly: "Thank you Second Prince for keeping his promise, as long as the Second Prince can restrain himself and the prince's subordinates, then I will take care of the prince's daily life and never treat the prince slowly." ”
Ashi Timur nodded, and went out of the golden-domed tent with Bulta.
"If Your Second Highness is tired, rest here!" As soon as she saw her brother come out of the big tent, the smile on Yuan Qi'er's face instantly froze.
"What do you mean by that?" Akdaichin jumped up and shouted, "Are you Raks going to put our Highness under house arrest? ”
"His Royal Highness was frightened last night," Yuan Qi'er said lukewarmly: "I can't eat or sleep well at Mingren's place, and it's not bad to rest more!" Now the sun was high, and through the tabernacle you could see the figures of the people outside, showing that the tent was surrounded by men.
"Tsitik, it is very unlucky for our Mongol knives to be pointed at us," Agadorji smiled bitterly, "I have no more than 10,000 men and horses, and without your support, can I still attack Dushikou alone?" ”
"You've never thought of us as Mongols," Yuan Qi'er sneered, "Even those of your subordinates call us Turkic barbarians in private. In order to replace you first, they did not hesitate to poison my uncle under the pretense of Mingren......"
"Bang-" The wine bowl in Agadorji's hand fell on the table in front of him, and he said in surprise, "What did you say?" Look at Yu Qian and Yang Muyun, who were sitting upright and looking at him, "There must be some misunderstanding in this, the Ming people are cunning, Qizik, you can't fall for them......"
"Did you misunderstand that you went to ask Zheroba," Yuan Qi'er had a pretty face, "Sometimes you people are more insidious than Mingren," looked at Yang Muyun and smiled, "Lord Yang, did you say yes?" ”
"Hmm......" Yang Muyun didn't dare to look at her, and only lowered his head to drink.
"The envoy is quite good for you," Yuan Qi'er's pretty face instantly turned cold when she turned to Agadorji, "If you promise to retreat a hundred miles north with us, I will send you out of the account." As he spoke, a pair of pretty eyes stared at him.
"When have I not agreed to your request?" Agadorji smiled helplessly, "You must know that I only have 10,000 people in my hands, not 30,000. ”
"It's good that you understand," a smile appeared on Yuan Qi'er's lips, "In order to reassure the envoy, you will order your subordinates to retreat north with us." ”
......
All the Mongols began to move north, Yu Qian, Yang Muyun and a group of accompanying soldiers also began to pack up, in fact, there was nothing to pack, the key was how to take Leng Yifei on the road together. Fortunately, Leng Yifei had woken up, gritted his teeth and insisted on getting on the horse by himself, not even in Yang Muyun's heart
I can't secretly admire this tough guy.
Yuan Qi'er rode over to walk with them, Yang Muyun didn't dare to get too close to her, and hid to the side, but Yuan Qi'er didn't come to pester him at all, but talked to Yu Qian.
"Lord Yu is a civil official, and he didn't scatter people along the way, but he is very capable!" Yuan Qi'er looked admiring, "Have you led soldiers before?" ”
"The county lord has won the award, this officer has only been in the military department for a short time, and he has no prestige in the army, this way is just the life of the soldiers, the official is in the middle of the dispatch, fortunately there are no major omissions." Yu Qian smiled modestly.
"If Luo Hengxin's Datong army is also handed over to you, your losses may be even less." Yuan Qi'er said.
"Governor Luo is loyal to the country, and since he has been governor of the border, he has made outstanding achievements, how can he be compared with this official?" Yu Qian said: "If he hadn't taken the young army of the Son of Heaven this time, he would not have taken the Xuanda army out of the grassland."
"Your young emperor is very interesting," Yuan Qi'er raised a smile on her pretty face, "You only sent a mere 5,000 people to invade my grassland, so if they are all 10,000 enemies?" As he spoke, he glanced at Yang Muyun.
"Your Majesty's move is indeed reckless," Yu Qian couldn't help but sigh, "Your cavalry has penetrated deep into the outside of the city of Jingshi, and the capital of Gyeonggi is full of alarms. Let my Heavenly Dynasty lose face, the emperor is young and vigorous, he can't bear the anger of the moment, and wants to wave the army to the north, but the army went south to Yunnan to conquer Luchuan, and the Beijing division is insufficient, so I let the young army of the Son of Heaven brought out by me go out to fight, and cut some heads to come back, so as to save some face, who knows......"
"Who knew that the rabbit didn't hit but was pecked by the eagle," Yuan Qi'er laughed out loud, "Even if your army does not go to the south, all of them go to the grassland, and we will never let you go to the grassland, compared to more than 20 years ago, you are corrupt, and confidential items such as military defense maps are easily sold to us, not only that, but even the combat effectiveness of the army has degraded greatly." General Bai Yier led 5,000 cavalry through the defense line of your border town, and none of the guards could react in time...... "I sighed lightly, "I knew this, so I asked my father to lead an army of 100,000 to surround your Beijing division." Restore the ...... of the world of Dayuan"
"Oh?" Yu Qian's eyes flickered, "If this official is also the first master, he will never give up this opportunity, but I don't know where your 100,000 army was at that time?" ”
"My father was leading a large army to the west," Yuan Qi'er sighed: "Chagatai Khan in the Western Regions also did not spend first because my father supported the throne, his brother Yunus Khan was not satisfied, and took refuge in Timur Khan Shaharu in the middle of the river, Shaharu wanted to send troops to escort Yunus Khan back to China to take the throne, and he also asked my father for help without spending first, and my father immediately led 100,000 elites to march into the Western Regions, and now I don't know what the war situation is?" There was a hint of melancholy on her pretty face, obviously very worried.
"That's really a pity," Yu Qian stretched out his hand and stroked his beard under his chin, "The Western Regions are far less rich and powerful than the Central Plains, and they also missed a great opportunity for the first Taishi to work on an expedition!" ”
"There will still be this opportunity in the future," Yuan Qi'er said leisurely: "My father and king must stabilize the east and west lines before he can go south with all his might, and then the good days of your Ming Kingdom will come to an end." ”
"The county lord said so, aren't you afraid that my Ming Dynasty will be on guard in the future?" Yu Qian glanced at Yuan Qi'er.
"When did you Mingguo not guard against us one day?" Yuan Qi'er smiled, "Since the founding of the country, we have been fighting each other for eighty years, and we have been fighting each other endlessly, haven't we always been strict against each other?" ”
"But in addition to me, Da Ming, there is another person who is guarding against you." Yu Qian also said with a smile.
"Who?"
"Your Great Khan is not free," Yu Qian's eyes flashed, "He wants to maintain his authority as the Great Khan, so naturally he won't want you to be too powerful." ”
"You can see it quite accurately," Yuan Qi'er's eyes narrowed, "But Totoku doesn't want to restore Dayuan, which is incompatible with your Ming Kingdom." ”
"The county lord's words are good, but if this great cause of restoration is a wedding dress made for someone else, I don't want to see it if I don't spend it, right?" Yu Qian said leisurely.
The smile on Yuan Qi'er's pretty face became brighter and brighter, "Lord Yu's witty words, I believe that my father will see you at first sight." ”
Yu Qian smiled, "I can see Ye Xiantai."
Teacher, Yu is comforting in his life. ”
"Is Lord Yu willing to stay in our grassland?" Yuan Qi'er blinked a pair of autumn-like eyes, "You are so talented, my father will definitely reuse you." ”
"The county lord looks down on this official, this official is a scholar, not as good as a warrior on the grassland, and as a minister, he should be careful to observe the minister's festival." Yu Qian held the reins of the horse and arched his hand.
"You're a very good scholar!" Yuan Qi'er's eyes flickered, "In just a few words, I can do something that even the grassland warriors can't do." ”
Yu Qian smiled slightly, and glanced at Yang Muyun on the side, "Yang Qian is both civil and military, and thoughtful, over time, his achievements will be far greater than mine." ”
"He's too young compared to adults." Yuan Qi'er also glanced at Yang Muyun and said with a smile.
Yang Muyun was looking at Leng Yifei who was riding a horse, and didn't notice their gaze. Leng Yifei's body is still very weak, his cold face is pale and not half bloody, although his hands are holding the reins of the horse, and his back is straight, but careful people can still see that his body can't help but tremble slightly.
"I hope to send Sain Polo back in three days, and they will collect their troops and return to Mobei." Thinking back to the uncertain future, Yang Muyun felt a wave of worry.
......
The army marched north to a hundred miles away, and then stopped and set up camp. White felt tents were instantly covered with the grassland after the snow.
"The speed of this group of Tartar soldiers marching and camping is much faster than that of my Ming soldiers......" Yang Muyun was secretly frightened, even if he fought for three days, the distance of a hundred miles would be like a walk for the Mongolian cavalry, which had been trained since childhood, but it would be killed back in an instant. How many of the soldiers and horses of the Daming Guard can really be ready to deal with this invasion from the grassland cavalry.
He helped Leng Yi to fly into the felt tent to rest, and his heart was surging.
"I didn't expect them to push back Agadorji's words." Yang Muyun came out of the felt tent and said to Yu Qian: "I was really nervous to be in the big tent at that time. ”
"Because of the matter of Zheroba, they owe us a favor," Yu Qian said calmly, "and they did have a dislike for the Chahars...... Sain Polo is still in our hands, and they don't dare to act rashly for the time being. As he spoke, his face became a little heavy, "But it will be difficult to say in three days, and it only took them two hours to march for a hundred miles." If you march in a hurry, you should be able to push back under the monolith mouth in an hour. ”
"We should have said a few more days," Yang Muyun secretly regretted, "Three days is still too tight for my Ming border army. ”
"It's not easy for them to promise us to wait for three days," Yu Qian sighed: "It's not a day or two for my Ming army to be weakened, and it won't be a matter of a few days to be reborn." They probably know this better than we do, and that's the real reason why they agreed to wait three days. ”
"Do you also think that if we send Sain Polo back in three days, they will not withdraw to Mobei?" Yang Muyun said: "Then what if we don't let people go? ”
"It's not as simple as you think," Yu Qian's eyes flickered, "If we break the contract, Agadorji will force the Agadorji brothers and sisters to send troops as the younger brother of the Great Khan of the Tartars, and at that time, all the Tarts will put all the resentment in their hearts on us, and as soon as the war starts, the responsibility lies with me, Sain Polo will turn from a chip to a hot potato, and it will make things unmanageable, and then ......" said and shook his head, "Lose faith in the barbarians, lightly provoke and provoke, If the court is put in an unfavorable situation, the official will die and will not be redeemed. ”
"If that's the case," Yang Muyun said: "I'll escort the adults to leave here secretly, Dushikou can't be without you in charge!" ”
"I'm afraid you and I won't be able to leave," Yu Qian sighed, "That Tartar County Lord accompanied us all the way, didn't you hear what she said?" In the speech, the intention of soliciting the official was revealed, and after three days, they made up their minds to wait for Sain Polo to detain us as soon as he arrived, and then wave their army south, as for the place of attack, it is not necessarily a monolithic pass, my Ming Dynasty's northern frontier is long, and you can drive straight into it if you break through a pass at will. His eyes looked at Yang Muyun solemnly, "Muyun, since the official came to this enemy camp, he didn't plan to be able to go back, but you don't have to be trapped in this place with me." ”
