Zhang Shixing said angrily: "Don't think about it, I will definitely avenge King Zhongning." "Anyway, we still have to do it.

Huang Zhan hurriedly said on the side: "Kong Zhi, did you ignore Master's life?" ”

When Zhang Shixing heard this, he had to stop, and said to Taiping: "Taiping, I let Batu go, and you also let go of my master, and we will go our separate ways from now on and never see each other again." ”

Tai Ping said: "Okay, we have two grievances, you are not allowed to seek revenge again, and we will not go to your trouble." We high-five and swear. ”

With that, he stepped forward and high-fived Zhang Shixing three times, and Zhang Shixing let go of Batu and threw the knife down.

Seeing this, Batu jumped out of Zhang Shixing's grasp with an arrow step, and the angry commander said, "Take it for me." ”

A group of Mongol soldiers surrounded them and were about to slash them with their swords.

Zhang Shixing was motionless, standing on the spot, closing his eyes and waiting for death, Tana and Little Battle died one after another, and there was no hope of recovering the country, which made him lose his liver and intestines, and he had no business, and he wanted to go with the two of them.

At this time, Taiping shouted, "Stop." ”

He stepped forward and bowed to Batu and said, "Great Khan, since Zhang Tongzhi has stopped, we Mongolian men will do what they say, so don't embarrass him." Wouldn't it be better for us to join forces and capture the Central Plains? ”

Batu snorted, waved his hand, ordered his guards to retreat, and the two sides sat down again, Batu said to Zhu Yunwen: "Master Kongwen, what do you think of Taiping's words just now?" ”

Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhang Shixing, and saw that he was depressed and didn't say a word, besides, King Zhongning was killed by Batu, how did he dare to unite with Batu and conspire with him, so he had to flatly refuse: "Great Khan, King Zhongning is my brother, you kill my brother, you and I are enemies of the sky, how can we do great things together?" But since Kongzhi swore an oath with you, and the two sides made peace, I can't say anything more. This union is absolutely impossible. If you want to kill or chop, listen to it. ”

Batu glanced at Taiping, Taiping smiled and said: "Master Kongwen, we Mongolians are the most faithful, since we can't unite, we are not reluctant, and we will be okay in the future." ”

Zhu Yunwen clasped his hands together and thanked him: "Amitabha, good and good." ”

So Taiping sent everyone out of the camp, gave some dried meat and kettles, and asked Zhang Shixing: "Zhang Tongzhi, where do you want to go from now on?" ”

Zhang Shixing shook his head and said, "The world is so big, there is no place for us. After that, it can only be counted as one step at a time. After that, there were two lines of tears flowing from his eyes, I don't know whether to cry for Tana's mother and son, or to feel sorry for myself.

Taiping comforted him and said, "Zhang Tongzhi, it doesn't have to be like this. In my opinion, you can also go to Arutai, the Tatars are even stronger, and you may be able to do what you want. ”

Zhang Shixing discussed with Zhu Yunwen and others, and decided to listen to his words and go to the Arutai Department, and the group waved goodbye to Taiping and galloped east.

Everyone marched eastward along the Troubled River for more than ten days, and finally found the camp of the Tatar Department, entered the big tent of the Chinese army, and saw Arutai, Zhang Shixing's eyes were red, and he almost burst into tears.

Arutai exclaimed what happened, and Zhang Shixing recounted the death of Tana by an arrow, and the killing of King Zhongning by Batu.

After hearing this, Arutai slapped his thigh and said: "The Great Khan is too anxious, and he fought a decisive battle with the Ming army without waiting for our soldiers to arrive, so that the soldiers were defeated and died, and the Queen Mother was also involved." This Batu dares to kill the master, and I must hate and teach him a lesson when I find an opportunity. Now that you have come at the right time, let's discuss how to deal with the Ming army. ”

Zhang Shixing said: "Arutai, the mother and son of the king of Zhongning both died, I am in turmoil, I don't know what to do." ”

Huang Zhan next to him answered: "Taishi, the Ming army is not difficult to deal with, if we help you defeat the Yan thief, how will you treat my master?" ”

Arutai thought for a while and said: "If we can defeat the Ming army and enter the Central Plains, we will take the Great Wall as the boundary, your master is the lord of the Central Plains, and I will be the king of the grassland, but your Central Plains is rich and the grassland is barren, you want to give us one million taels of silver, such as the story of Song Liao, to repair the alliance, what do you think?" ”

Huang Zhan whispered to Zhu Yunwen: "Master, this proposal is very good, even more generous than our covenant with King Zhongning. You're going to say yes. ”

Zhu Yunwen lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "In order to restore the great cause of the ancestors, except for usurpation, it has to be like this." ”

So Zhu Yunwen and Arutai swore an oath to the sky to discuss Zhu Di.

After the oath was completed, Huang Zhan said to Arutai: "The Yan thief drove 500,000 troops deep into the grassland, and it has been more than a few months now, and the grain and grass will inevitably be insufficient. ”

Arutai pondered for a while and said: "Zhu Di is old in military affairs, when he retreats, he can not be unprepared, he has an army of 500,000, and our department is only tens of thousands, and a rash attack is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg." ”

Huang Zhan thought about it again and said: "Taishi, you might as well send an envoy to surrender, just say that the king of Zhongning has been killed, you have nothing to rely on, and you are willing to belong, the Yan thief will definitely believe it, comfort it, and the class master will return to the court, and he will definitely be unprepared, and at that time, we will lead the troops to attack again, and we will definitely be able to defeat him." ”

After hearing this, Arutai nodded again and again, and praised: "This plan is very good, and we will act according to it." ”

After Zhu Di led the army to defeat the Great Khan of Timur the Complete, he swept the remnants of the grassland for some time, and the grain and grass he carried were about to run out, so he ordered the division and the army to march to Feiyun Gully.

After listening to the envoy's statement, Zhu Di said to him: "You go back and tell your Taishi, I will grant him what he asks, and make him the king of Hening, and I will send an envoy to canonize him in the near future, and ask him to wait for good news." ”

After the envoy thanked him and left the camp, the civil and military officials under Zhu Di's tent stepped forward to congratulate him, saying that this time he drove the expedition in person, which could be described as a complete victory, killing his enemy chieftain and subduing his people, and his achievements were comparable to those of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Zhu Di smiled silently.

Yang Qi stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Tatar Ministry's request for surrender is quite suspicious, and it is necessary to prevent it from surrendering. ”

Zhu Di asked, "Why did Aiqing say this?" ”

Yang Qi said: "The Tatar Ministry was not seriously damaged, so it came to ask for surrender, which is contrary to common sense. If they take advantage of the time of our army's division to cover the attack from behind, our army will be in danger. ”

Zhu Di praised when he heard this: "Yang Qing is like a hill, and he has insight into it. I also suspect that it is a fraudulent surrender, but now that our army is running out of food and grass, I have to return to the court, I salute first and then the soldiers, and canonize him as the king of Hening. ”

So Zhu Di sent envoys to the Arutai camp, read the edict, canonized Arutai as the king of Hening, and gave gold seals, gold books, and jade robes and other things.

Arutai was overjoyed after receiving the order, and said to Zhu Yunwen and others: "Then Zhu Di really hit the plan, I will lead the troops to follow him, looking for an opportunity to fight, and I will be able to destroy it in one fell swoop." ”

Zhu Yunwen and the others nodded again and again, and sighed to each other: "It seems that there is hope for our recovery." ”

Zhang Shixing said coldly: "That Yan thief is scheming, so you still have to be careful." I thought that I could follow from afar, wait for it to pass Kaipingwei, relax my vigilance, and then send troops, so that I could break the enemy in one fell swoop. ”

Arutai shook his head and said, "Kaiping is close to the Ming Kingdom, in case we don't win, it will be difficult for us to escape." I personally led my troops to follow and act when the opportunity came. Zhang Tongzhi has been thinking too much since the Queen Mother, and he is in a trance, so I think he will stay in the camp and have a good rest. ”

Zhang Shixing sighed, didn't say more, and stayed in the camp with Zhu Yunwen and others to listen to the news.

Arutai led 30,000 light cavalry to quietly follow behind Zhu Di's army, observing the movement and waiting for an opportunity to attack.

In the middle of June, the Ming army returned to the Yinma River, it rained a few days in the past few days, the flood irrigated, the river was dozens of zhang wide, the riverside mud was deep, and the horse's belly was trapped, the army was not allowed to go, after the Tatar reconnaissance cavalry infested the team, the scouts came to report, all the ministers were shocked, if the enemy attacked in a big way at this moment, the consequences were unimaginable.

Zhu Di smiled slightly and said: "It's just in time, I can avenge the victims of the Battle of the Drinking Horse River." ”

After that, Zhu Di ordered the left and right armies to ambush beside the meanders of the river in the distance, and ordered the rear team to lure the enemy with more baggage, and he personally led more than 1,000 elite soldiers to observe the enemy situation on the hill.

Arutai led his troops to follow Zhu Di, and when he heard that the army was blocked by the big river, and his baggage was behind, his eyes lit up, and he ordered to send troops, shouting and fighting, and tens of thousands of Tatar cavalry rushed towards the Ming army like dark clouds.

As soon as the Ming army saw that the enemy had arrived, they threw down their baggage and fled in all directions.

Arutai did not chase either, and ordered people to escort these baggage back to the camp, and he also turned his horse's head, ready to return to the camp, and asked left and right: "King, are we not going to pursue the Ming army?" ”

Arutai said with a smile: "We only have tens of thousands of people, how can we fight against the Ming army with hundreds of thousands of horses and horses, just get some property." ”

Zuo Qi said: "Then how did the king form an alliance with that Zhang Tongzhi and others?" ”

Arutai said: "It's just to coax them to give me ideas, do you really think that this king will go to war with the Ming army for them, and he is sentimental." ”

Before the words fell, the sound of killing all around, the Ming army ambushed the soldiers on both sides, the guns rang out and the arrows fired, the Mongolian soldiers fell off their horses one after another, Arutai screamed badly, hurriedly crossed the river, and fled north in panic.

Suddenly, his horse fell into the mire and could not move, and seeing that the Ming army was about to rush up, he gave his horse to him with his own soldiers on the left and right, and Arutai escaped. The Ming army pursued the victory, pursued more than 100 miles, beheaded hundreds of people under his famous king, and the Tatar department was defeated.

After the Ming army defeated the Tatar army, it continued to march southward to capture Hu Mountain, and Zhu Di ordered Le Shi to be inscribed and said: "Hanhai is a man, Tianshan is a sage, sweep away the dust, and clean the desert forever." ”

In August, the army returned to Beijing, and Zhu Di was congratulated by hundreds of officials in the Heavenly Palace.

Arutai was defeated and returned to the camp, and in order to avoid the Ming army, he prepared to continue to flee north. That night, Zhang Shixing said to Zhu Yunwen: "Master, I don't think this Arutai is really allied with us, just using us. Now that he has returned to the camp in defeat, if he is trying to please the thieves, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not betray us. I think we'd better go early. ”

Huang Zhan complained: "Senior brother, isn't this Arutai friends with you?" And swore an oath to us, how could he betray us? ”

Zhang Shixing sighed and said, "This time, that time." At that time, I was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he was in a high position, so he was naturally willing to make friends with me, and now that we are in trouble to vote, and there is no use value, what kind of friendship will he talk to us. If he betrayed his master in exchange for a high-ranking official, why didn't he do it? ”

Zhu Yunwen was shocked when he heard this, and said, "Kong Zhi, what you said is true." But the world is so big, where are we going to stay? ”

Zhang Shixing said leisurely: "Master, we have been pretending to be a monk for so many years, do you want to really be a monk." ”
