Chapter 542: Fighting in the Dark
Is that all? Sain Polo didn't move.
"Also," Hu Hui continued, "the captive population and livestock of Duoyanwei will be returned to Duoyanwei, and the prince and the prince will be asked to ensure that they will not infringe on Duoyanwei, Fuyuwei, and Tainingwei again. ”
"Duo Yanwei?" Sain Polo's eyelids raised slightly, "Is there still Duo Yanwei now?" ”
Hu Hu smiled slightly, "I'm afraid the prince doesn't know, Duo Yanwei's commander is now in the capital." ”
Sain Polo laughed, "Did Dor, he hide here?" What are you here for? Would you like to ask the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to restore the pastures and his subordinates for him? ”
"Lord Wang," Hu Hu glanced at him and said lightly: "Dol is the commander of my Ming Dynasty, and coming to Beijing to meet the emperor is also doing his duty as a subordinate." ”
"Really?" Sain Polo took a pair of chopsticks and put the mutton in his mouth and chewed slowly, "This commander you have sealed is not very honest, as far as this king knows, they have not infested the border fort under the jurisdiction of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, and this king has cleared a big trouble for you, isn't it good?" ”
"Lord Wang," Hu Hui's voice became a little heavier, "Dol is my courtier, if you don't act as a minister, you should also be attacked by my Ming Dynasty, and you don't need to borrow the hands of others." ”
"By your crusade?" Sain Polo chuckled, his eyes full of contempt, "It seems that the army of the Ming Dynasty is still quite capable of fighting, especially the young army of the Son of Heaven trained by your emperor, I don't know how many will come back?" ”
Hu Hu stroked his beard and smiled: "On the battlefield, swords and swords, death and injury are inevitable, just like the prince, didn't you also be invited here by us?" Although the words are polite, they are not without sarcasm.
Sain Polo rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "What is the truth of this king?" As long as the army is still there, all the initiative will be in my hands. ”
"It seems that the prince is very confident in the strength he has mastered."
"Isn't it?" Sain Polo's head raised slightly, "Your emperor's pro-army, as well as the Xuanfu soldiers and the Datong army, which one can block the front of my grassland iron cavalry?" "There was a threat in his voice.
"It seems that the prince is not here to ask me for a seal, but to issue a war letter." Hu Hui's face changed slightly.
"Master Hu don't be nervous," Sain Polo's lips curled up and picked up a glass of wine, "Come, you and I have a drink." Seeing that Hu Hu didn't move at all, he drank all the wine in the cup, wiped the wine stains on his lips and said: "This king is sincerely here to see your Ming Emperor, but your emperor has put this king here for so many days, and he hasn't even seen him, what does it mean?" ”
"Oh, it turns out that this is what makes the prince unhappy," Hu Hu smiled leisurely, "The prince has come from afar, and he has been hijacked by the rebel party in the middle, so he should take a good rest for a while and suppress the shock." When you meet the Son of Heaven, you should choose a very solemn day, and I hope that the prince will not be anxious. ”
"You guys are good at wine and hospitality, this king is not in a hurry," Sain Polo smiled lightly, "This king has the latest news here, my brother Taishi also won a great victory in the Western Regions first, and now he is on the way back, if he knows that I am here, will he lead troops south, it is unpredictable......" Seeing that Hu Hui's face became solemn, he continued: "It's best that the matter between the two of us is reached quickly, otherwise if my brother arrives, he will not be as good at talking as this king." ”
"Does the prince mean that if you don't fulfill your wishes, you will meet each other in arms?" Hu Hui's face changed.
"Master Hu," Sain Polo's gaze swept across his face, "you are also a veteran of the Four Dynasties of the Ming Dynasty, and I believe you know a lot of things. The various departments of the grassland are not as good as the Central Plains, they have no one to make a fortune, and tens of thousands of troops come out, so they can't be allowed to return empty-handed, right? If so, how else can the king command them? The account of spending money to buy peace must be calculated carefully, and you will not lose money...... As for the return of the men and cattle of the Uliang Habu, this king is not the master, and all the sons and men who go out on the expedition have received a share of the captivity, and all the men and animals have been distributed, how can they be recovered? Isn't this a slap in the face of this king? ”
"Lord Wang," Hu Hu narrowed his eyes and said without humility or arrogance: "My Ming is not without the strength to fight, and things should not be done too well." ”
"That's good," Sain Polo stood up, picked up the cotton towel on the table and wiped his mouth, and said, "Then there is nothing to talk about between us, please Lord Hu reply to your emperor, and let this king go back." ”
"It seems that the prince is really drunk," Hu Hu also stood up
, arched his hand, "Please rest early, if you have something to say, let's talk about it tomorrow!" With that, the sleeves of his robe flicked, and he went angrily.
"Master Hu......" Yang Muyun got up and chased out.
......
Hu Hu was in the middle of the line when he suddenly heard someone behind him calling for him. He stopped and looked sideways, and saw Yang Muyun chasing after him, and waved at him, "Send the lord off the official." ”
"Hmm......" Hu Hu nodded and walked first. Yang Muyun followed closely behind him.
"Did you really capture that enemy chieftain?" Hu Hu asked inadvertently.
"Lord Hui, exactly."
"I didn't expect you to be young, but you are quite capable," Hu Hu glanced at him with appreciation, "This credit is not small, and I changed the ambassador of the district association, which is too wronged for you." ”
"Xia Guan is not yet sixteen years old," Yang Muyun said, "Being able to be in the ninth rank deeply feels the emperor's grace." ”
"The emperor sent you here?" Hu Hu was stunned for a moment, and then understood the emperor's intentions, "It seems that the emperor really relies on you in this matter, you have to be careful." ”
"The lower officials are saved." Yang Muyun said.
"This enemy chief," Hu Hu couldn't help but scold hatefully, "I'm so arrogant when I'm in prison, I really don't take my Daming seriously." When he went back, he would pay homage to the emperor and send him to the prison of the Criminal Department, taste the bitterness, and kill his arrogance......"
"Your Excellency doesn't have to be angry," Yang Muyun said to him: "The top priority is to ask the emperor to issue an order to strengthen the defense of the border passes, and not to let the Tartars have a chance." As for talking, it's better to sit down and talk to him. ”
"Do you think that enemy chief is working with the court to delay the army?" Hu Hu's brows furrowed slightly.
"My lord, the so-called war can make peace, and it's good to make more preparations for a rainy day." Yang Muyun arched his hand and said.
"Ambassador Yang," Hu Hu stared at him deeply, "This official doesn't understand military affairs, you have fought with the Tartars, you should know the combat power of the Tartars." You say, can't my Ming soldiers really stop them? ”
"The lower officials don't dare to hide it from Lord Hu," Yang Muyun sighed lightly, his face solemn, "The Tartars are all cavalry, and their riding and archery skills are exquisite, and they come and go like the wind." I am mostly infantrymen, and my mobility is not as good as that of a Tartar. It can only rely on the fortification of the northern borders. In this expedition, the avant-garde of the government army was almost completely gone, and the elite strength of the Datong army was also lost by half, this is all cavalry! ”
Hu Hu gasped as he listened, what an elite cavalry force meant, even he, who didn't understand military affairs, knew it very well. There are not many cavalry in the Ming Dynasty, and if the losses are too huge, it means that the Ming army has lost the possibility of taking the initiative to attack, and can only be beaten passively. And the northern border of the Ming Dynasty is thousands of miles long, fortified everywhere, and it is impossible to defend everywhere, once it is broken through by the Tartar cavalry, the consequences are unimaginable. No wonder Sain Polo was also arrogant when he was captured, and he really saw the weakness of Da Ming.
The imperial court did not tell the government and the opposition the true situation, but only said that Mobei won the victory, forcing Sain Polo to come and sue for peace in person. I came here with confidence, who knows...... He closed his eyes and sighed, "People will insult themselves, and then they will insult them." The above is untrue, what can the minister do? ”
"Everything is done by man," Yang Muyun advised: "Adults should not worry too much. ”
"That's right," Hu Hu shook his head, "The civil official of my Ministry of Rites can't suppress the arrogance of the enemy chieftain, so it's better to show the emperor and ask the emperor to send someone from the army department to come and talk to him in detail!" ”
Yang Muyun's heart moved, Yu Qian, the right attendant of the military department, was a very tough and capable character, maybe he could be more suitable than others to send over to talk to Sain Polo.
He opened his mouth, and was about to speak, when he saw an official in a crimson official uniform hurrying over.
"Isn't this Meng Xiang Meng Shilang?" Yang Muyun said secretly in his heart.
"Xiaguan see Lord Shangshu." Meng Xiang came to Hu Hu and gave a deep salute.
"You came in a hurry, did something big happen?" Hu Hu asked.
"Tomorrow, the envoy of Luchuan will return to China," Meng Xiang said: "Xiaguan has come to ask your lordship, what specifications will you want to send?" ”
"What is the emperor's will?" Hu Hu frowned slightly.
"Nope."
Meng Xiang replied very simply.
Hu Hu snorted lightly, "Then you can watch it!" ”
"The Luchuan mission is headed by their princess......"
"Luchuan is at war with my Ming Dynasty," Hu Hu said, "How can it be according to normal etiquette?" The emperor is benevolent, and he didn't embarrass them, so our Ministry of Rites won't have much trouble, let him go! ”
"Yes, sir." Meng Xiang responded.
"Luchuan envoy," Yang Muyun said secretly in his heart, "Isn't it the group of people who live in Feihongju Restaurant?" It's been so many days, haven't they left yet? ”
————————————
"My lord," Mo Buyu came to Yang Muyun and said excitedly: "Today I won another game against that Alexei, he and I tried to wrestle, but I was thrown to the ground hard." ”
"Yes," Hu Wenguang also said: "I didn't expect that big golden retriever to have a lot of strength, and it is not easy for Brother Mo to win!" ”
"What do you do with him every day?" Yang Muyun glanced at Mo Buyu unhappily.
"He has betrayed the trust of the adults, and I have the heart to kill him," Mo Buyu said: "If it weren't for the repeated warnings of the adults, I would have slashed him." ”
"Okay, okay," Yang Muyun saw that he was even talking with gestures, and the more he talked, the more energetic he became, so he stopped him, "What about the prince, how is he now?" ”
"I'm still eating shabu-shabu there," Mo Buyu smacked his lips, looking greedy, "My lord, I haven't eaten shabu-shabu for a long time, look ......"
"It's not productive, and I drool when I hear it." Yang Muyun reprimanded.
"Uncle, I want to eat too." Hu Wenguang also said with a blank eye on the side.
"Let's wait for the evening," Yang Muyun was a little helpless, these two big gluttonous insects really didn't know what was in their heads, "I know that there is a shabu-shabu shop that tastes very good, and I will lead you over then." He remembered the shabu-shabu shop he had with Zhu Qiyu when he first returned to Beijing.
"Thank you, sir."
"Thank you, uncle."
Mo Buyu and Hu Wenguang glanced at each other, looking delighted.
Yang Muyun sighed, the realm of foodies is only so wide.
......
"Uncle, the shabu-shabu in the capital is really delicious," after coming out of the shabu-shabu shop, Hu Wenguang said with a long aftertaste: "I will come here to eat tomorrow, is it okay?" ”
"Of course you can," Yang Muyun smiled faintly: "But tomorrow you please." ”
"But I don't have any money."
"It's okay, just deduct it from your monthly money." Yang Muyun winked at him.
"That's ......" Hu Wenguang suddenly felt a little reluctant.
"What, no?"
"I ......" Hu Wenguang looked at his gaze and stopped talking.
"My lord, don't pay attention to him," Mo Buyu grinned, "He wants to save money to marry his daughter-in-law!" How can you be willing to deduct it and invite someone to drink? ”
"You ......," Hu Wenguang blushed, "You don't say nonsense." ”
"I'm not talking nonsense," Mo Buyu argued, "You have told me more than once, you want to ......"
"Okay, okay, let's not say a word." Yang Muyun interrupted him and didn't let him say any more, Hu Wenguang was his nephew after all, and he didn't want to embarrass him too much.
The three of them were talking, when they suddenly saw a person staggering in front of them, who seemed to be about to fall down at any moment.
"Look, uncle, that person must have drunk too much." Hu Wenguang pointed at the man and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the man fall to the ground with a thud, and after a few convulsions, he did not move.
"On such a cold day, if you lie outside and sleep overnight, you have to freeze to death." Yang Muyun looked up at the sky, and snowflakes were falling from the dark night sky. Winter in the north is like this, when it snows a lot.
"Silent," Yang Muyun commanded, "You go over and pick him up and send him home." ”
"Yes, sir." Although Mo Buyu was reluctant, he still walked over.
