Yuan Qi'er's bold confession made Yang Muyun stunned, and Zi Su never hid his love and hate in front of him, but it was the first time he had encountered it when he said it without scruples in front of so many people. The prairie woman's hotness and frankness greatly impacted his chest, which made him very unaccustomed to being reserved and polite.

Yang Muyun stared for a moment, and looked at her again, but saw Yuan Qi'er with her arms raised, accepting the cheers of all the Rakites, as if she had won not only a game, but also the favorite person around him.

In the monolithic fort, in a quiet backyard room of the Kaiping Weidu Command Envoy Yamen, Luo Hengxin, the governor of Xuanda, was writing a letter of resignation:

Luo Yongshi, the governor of Chenxuan, was a scholar in the second year of Yongle. Since Emperor Taizong, he has been conscientious, sleepless at night, worried about state affairs, and has gone through four dynasties. Taizu was born in the grass, annihilated the heroes, expelled the Tartars, and restored the world of my Han Dynasty. Taizong started from the army, fought in the south and the north, and spread the prestige of the Ming Dynasty in the four seas. His Majesty Chong Ling ascended the throne, was gifted and intelligent, and had the style of Taizu and Taizong. In the 80 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, except for the ugly people in the southwest and the remnants of the remnants of the Yuan in the north, all the four Yi have been subdued. Your Majesty should cherish the immortal foundation created by Taizu Taizong, cultivate children and raise the people, and save national strength. Sun Tzu said: Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored. It is ominous to use the army. The northern grassland desert has a vast area, and the northern captives live in pursuit of water and grass, without the complexity of the city, and it is not easy to conquer. If you want Taizu Taizong's martial arts to cover the world, you still can't eradicate the court, and now you can't do it! Taizong descended, Renzong, Xuanzong ruled the world, Haiqing Heyan, my Ming people live and work in peace and contentment, there are occasional border provocations in northern Xinjiang, and you can prevent it. It is not easy for light soldiers to go deep into the captive realm, Sun Ziyun: 'The husband is the victor without a fight, and he has to count a lot; The temple is not victorious without a fight, and it is considered to be less. More wins, less wins......

Lord Luo is not a good Wuqiu Ba, the writing is brilliant, the folds are written in a sprinkling manner, the words and sentences are considered here, and he hesitated, afraid that the young emperor will be unhappy when he reads this, and puts the latter sentence 'and the situation is nothing!' 'Omit and don't write, there is so much nonsense written in the front, and the following really enters the text. This was also a common problem of civil officials at that time, as if they didn't write more nonsense on the folds, they couldn't show their own literary talent. Zhu Yuanzhang's period of the criminal department of the Lang Ru Taisu, simple and outspoken, the only drawback is that there is too much nonsense, once to this reckless emperor on the fold, the pen waved thousands of words, 16,300 words of the above 17,000 words are all praising Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Zhongshulang Wang Min read for a long time and didn't know what was being said above, and couldn't help but be furious, let people drag this sour Confucian down and beat 20 boards. It wasn't until the next day, when the last 500 words were read, that four pieces of advice were reached. This Emperor Zhu blew his beard and glared at him and said: "Five hundred words can be said clearly, what is the purpose of writing a lot of nonsense?" "In the future, the book should be concise and to the point. Emperor Zhu has no prime minister by his side, and all political affairs are done by himself, and the affairs are heavy, so of course he doesn't have time to listen to so much nonsense. But literati usually have a stubbornness, how can the habits developed for decades be changed when they say they can be changed, they were beaten by the emperor, and they also won the reputation of a minister, they do their own thing, and still red tape should not be, Emperor Zhu can't beat people every day, after getting the hang of it, those courtiers who are verbose and long-winded, looking directly from behind, saves a lot of time. Governor Luo was born as a scholar, so he naturally couldn't get straight to the point when he wrote the chapter, and after doing some foreshadowing, he wrote the main topic.

“...... Xiu Wubo led 5,000 iron horsemen out of the fortress, and returned less than 400, the whereabouts of Chen Chengfeng and Zheng Hong of 1,000 households were unknown, and most of the 100 households and under the general banner were lost. Yu Qian, the right attendant of the minister and the military department, Zhu Mian, the chief soldier of Datong, and Yang Hong, the governor of Xuanfu, led 30,000 elite soldiers of Xuanda to respond to the battle, and 100,000 captured soldiers...... The minister fought viciously, wearing several wounds, blood through armor, and the guards and Wubo and others fought and retreated, to the mouth of the Dushi, and the elite soldiers led by Xuanda lost more than half, and the Datong army suffered heavy casualties. The captives pursued closely until they were under the Dushikou Pass, and the ministers led their troops to fight bloody day and night before retreating to capture the enemy. Captured Chief Sain Polo, I am willing to beg for my Ming Holy Son of Heaven. The minister immediately escorted him into Beijing, hoping that His Majesty would make proper arrangements. Minister Governor Xuanfu and Datong Military Affairs Luo Hengxin bowed to the head of Baibai. The sixth day of the twelfth month of the twelfth year of Orthodoxy. ”

After writing the chapter, he stamped his own letter, and said loudly after a moment of silence: "Quick, please come over and talk about it." ”

......

Shi Heng hurriedly came to Luo Hengxin's room, dressed in armor and not gone.

Looking at the haggard face of the No. 1 general in Datong, Luo Hengxin hurriedly asked people to set up a seat for tea.

"The Governor summoned the last general, I don't know why?" Shi Heng asked.

"The Governor is wounded, so he can't risk the arrows himself," Luo Hengxin looked at

He motioned for him to sit down, "I wonder what the military situation is at the pass?" ”

"The Tartars haven't made a big deal out of it yet," Shi Heng replied, "but the soldiers don't dare to slack off in the slightest." ”

"Well," Luo Hengxin bowed slightly, "How is your nephew's injury now?" ”

"Lord Xie is concerned," Shi Heng arched his hand, "Although Biao'er is wearing more than a dozen wounds, it is not serious, and he can still go to the city to defend it." ”

"Okay," Luo Hengxin's eyes flashed, "Shi Yanshi, this governor is now assigned an errand to you," paused, and said solemnly: "You now order all the soldiers and horses under your command to escort the enemy chief Sain Polo into the capital ......"

"Now?" Shi Heng was stunned, "This is what Lord Yu meant?" ”

Luo Hengxin said abruptly: "This governor is a member of the imperial court, and he can play the Son of Heaven directly if he has something, and he doesn't need to consult others. ”

"So that's the Governor's decision." Shi Heng said secretly in his heart. He arched his hand again, "Your Excellency the Governor, we have made a private agreement with the Tartars that if they withdraw their troops for a hundred miles and truce for three days, they will send the enemy chieftain Sain Polo back, why do you want to escort them into Beijing?" ”

"A three-day truce?" The corners of Luo Hengxin's mouth hooked, "What about three days later?" ”

"Didn't Lord Yu negotiate with the Tartars?" Shi Heng said: "I guess there will be results in two days." ”

"But the enemy Chief Sain Polo doesn't want to go back," Luo Hengxin looked at him and said lightly: "He wants to go to Beijing to meet the saint." ”

"He wants to see the emperor?" Shi Heng was puzzled, "Why is this?" ”

"There are his own plans in this, you don't have to ask, just send him to Beijing."

"But what if the Tartars come to ask for someone?" Shi Heng said worriedly.

"Sain Polo will take care of this, don't worry about it." Luo Hengxin glanced at him and handed over a sealed cylinder with fire paint, "This is a recital written by the governor to the emperor, and you can also bring it to the capital." ”

"Yes, sir." Shi Heng bowed down to take the seal, and asked again, "......Where is Lord Yu?"

"Lord Yu has been informed by this governor, don't worry about it," Luo Hengxin stood up and told him: "You must be cautious along the way, and you must not make any mistakes." ”

"The last will know." Shi Heng bowed deeply.

"Shi Yanshi," Luo Hengxin stared at him and said: "This time, you and General Zhu invited the merit to advance, causing most of the elite of Datong Town to be lost, and the border fortress garrison was wasted...... accentuated his tone, "This time escorting the enemy chieftain into Beijing, whether you can offset your guilt is up to you." ”

"Rest assured, Lord Governor, the last general will never dare to slack off in the slightest." Shi Heng's head hung lower, and he was covered in cold sweat.

"If you escort the enemy chieftain into Beijing safely," Luo Hengxin said after a moment of silence: "The emperor will most likely summon you, what to say and what not to say, do you understand?" ”

"The last general, the last general is foolish, and I ask the governor to mention it." Shi Heng said busily.

Seeing his respectful look, Luo Hengxin nodded, "This governor personally led the Datong army to save the Son of Heaven's army, sacrificing his life and forgetting death, the soldiers fought bloodily, and killed no less than 10,000 enemies, and my Datong army fought a bloody battle alone, and the Xuanfu soldiers led by Yu Shilang were late......"

"Lord Governor, this, this ......" Shi Heng raised his head and widened his eyes in surprise.

"Isn't it?" The corners of Luo Hengxin's mouth hooked, and his eyes were cold.

"Yes, yes, what the Governor said is very true." Shi Heng nodded repeatedly.

"The Datong army led by this governor disregarded the casualties and covered the retreat of the Lord and the Son of Heaven's army, but there were too many prisoners, all over the mountains and fields, no less than 100,000 people, and my Datong army was 20,000, fighting to Dushikou, which was less than 4,000 ......"

"Your Excellency the Governor, it seems that there are only forty or fifty thousand Tartar soldiers." Shi Heng hesitated for a moment and interjected.

"Shi Yanshi," Luo Hengxin's eyes flashed, he took a deep breath, and said slowly: "The emperor lives in the deep palace, do you still have to go to the side to watch the Tartars count one by one?" ”

"The last will be dull, the last will be dull." Shi Heng said repeatedly.

"Of course," Luo Hengxin said, "if you are fortunate enough to be summoned by the emperor in person, you can also elaborate on your merits in front of the emperor."

。 ”

"The last general will not dare."

"Whether you can turn over, whether the Datong army can turn over, it depends on whether you can safely escort the enemy chieftain into Beijing and perform in front of the emperor." Luo Hengxin said this, and his tone became very solemn, "You must know that Sain Polo is famous among the grassland tribes, and he is the second person after Yexian. ”

"The end will be saved." Shi Heng was so excited that he clasped his fists and saluted.

————————————

Night fell again, and bonfires lit everywhere on the grassland. People are noisy and noisy. Yang Muyun and Yu Qian were invited to the huge bonfire outside the Jinding tent, and Leng Yifei actually followed.

A huge fire burst into flames, and important figures of the Mongol army sat around it. Agadorji and Agadorji sat on the left and right seats, Yuan Qi'er actually sat beside Agadolji, chatting and laughing with him, she didn't look at Yang Muyun when she came, and seemed to have forgotten what she said to him during the day.

"Women seem to be really fickle," Leng Yifei, who rarely spoke, actually sighed, "I was affectionate with one man during the day, but now I am smiling with another man." ”

"When did Brother Leng become so emotional?" Yang Muyun glanced at him with some surprise, "This doesn't seem to be your style." ”

Leng Yifei's cold face rarely showed a faint smile, "I didn't expect you to play polo so well." ”

"This official didn't expect it," Yu Qian also interjected with interest, "Mr. Yang Qian's polo is really exciting, and the polo team in the palace of the first emperor in the past is not as popular as today!" Mr. Yang Qian's move really boosted my prestige. ”

"Lord Yu has won the award, the micro skills, what is the value." Yang Muyun said humbly. The heart said that this is not very difficult for people who know martial arts and are good at riding. Besides, with the cooperation of a master like Yuan Qi'er, it is not too surprising to play such a situation. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Yuan Qi'er, only to see that she was talking and laughing with Agadorji, which was completely different from her usual cold face. And Agadorji's mood also became very good, and he changed his depression during the day and became high-spirited. Timur had never seen the affectionate words between them, and frequently drank with his subordinates.

Yu Qian and the others were invited over, but they were left to the side, and no one cared. No one said a word to them, not even one to look at them.

This kind of cold field feels a little weird.

"My lord, why don't we go back?" Yang Muyun whispered beside Yu Qian.

"If you come, you will be safe." Yu Qian smiled slightly, "I'm not a distinguished guest, do I have to be held by others to feel at ease?" He dusted off the sleeves of his robe and sat down in an inconspicuous place.

"It's still Lord Yu who has the bearing of a general." Yang Muyun secretly praised in his heart, and stood left and right with Leng Yifei behind Yu Qian.

Over there, Agadorji didn't know what to say, and Yuan Qi'er's coquettish smile attracted the attention of many people. Yang Muyun had an indescribable feeling in his heart, sour and astringent. He has always avoided intersecting with Yuan Qi'er, but seeing that she is talking happily with other men, he still feels a little uncomfortable in his heart. Some men are like this, they don't want to accept a woman's love for him, but they don't want to see her show favor to other men.

"You still have some liking for her in your heart." Leng Yifei saw the different color on his face and said lightly.

Yang Muyun was silent, did not refute it, but tried not to look away from it, and did not look at Yuan Qi'er.

The waiter came over and set up a table in front of Yu Qian, bringing a pot of wine and a pair of lacquered plates, on which were placed a few pieces of charred mutton and a pair of knives and forks. It seems that they have not forgotten their existence.

"Strange, why are they so snub to adults tonight?" Yang Muyun frowned and fell into deep thought, "I treat each other politely during the day. Could it be ......" His gaze swept around.

"Something must have happened there at the mouth of the monolith." Leng Yifei said in a low voice.

Yang Muyun's heart moved, and he retracted his gaze and looked at him, "What did Brother Leng see?" ”

"They're a little too relaxed." Leng Yifei said.
