Daniel Zhang received an edict allowing him to return to Beijing to visit his relatives, sent Qin Cha away, and after bidding farewell to Jiang Gui, the commander-in-chief, he immediately packed his luggage and left Datong with a few of his own soldiers overnight and marched towards the capital.

The weather was hot, and the horses were exhausted by noon, and Daniel Zhang saw a big tree in front of him, so he led his soldiers to gallop towards the big tree, preparing to rest under the big tree for a while and eat some dry food.

When I galloped closer, I saw five or six big men sitting under the tree, all of them with their tops bare, wearing only calf nose pants. Some of these people fell to the ground and snored loudly, some leaned against the roots of the tree and snoozed, and when they heard the sound of horses' hooves, they all opened their eyes and looked over.

Daniel Zhang only hesitated, and then let the horse gallop over. The pro-soldiers followed.

When the man on the ground saw five or six horses rushing towards him, he was so frightened that he crawled away with a rolling belt, and the two people who were leaning on the roots of the trees and napping ran away like arrows from the string.

"Son of a bitch." Daniel Zhang cursed in a low voice, gently pulled the reins of the horse, and slowed down the horse's speed. He has been mixing with the sergeants for a long time, and he has learned a lot of swearing words in the south and north.

Several of the Vara people who ran away gathered together again, discussed in a low voice for a while, and the leader of the man walked a few steps closer, stared at Daniel Zhang, who dismounted and threw the horse whip to the pro-soldiers, and said, "Do you think that man is a little familiar?" ”

The man is a Han Chinese, nearly forty years old, handsome, and has a thick beard under his chin. Several other people looked at it for a long time and said, "It's a little familiar." ”

The leader looked in the direction where Daniel Zhang came and said in a deep voice, "From Datong." ”

"We're going to Datong." One of them. They were nominally tributary envoys, but in fact they were secret agents, and after they entered the customs with the envoy Batu, they scattered to the previously assigned states and counties to inquire about the situation, but unfortunately before they arrived at the place, they received a summons from the deputy envoy Gessel, and immediately gathered outside the city of Datong.

They didn't know what was going on, so they hurried and hurried, seeing that Datong was in sight, and met their companions, there were still three days before the time limit, and they planned to rest under the big tree until tomorrow morning before they hurried, but they didn't expect to meet such a group of people.

Several people kept looking at this side, and Daniel Zhang realized their gaze and raised his eyes to stare at him.

At this glance, the leader recognized it, and exclaimed in shock, "It's Daniel Zhang, the deputy chief soldier of Datong, that's right, it's him." ”

When he screamed, the more the other people looked at it, the more they looked like it, and they said, "It's him." Why is he here? ”

There is a humanitarian: "Could it be that the Ming Court transferred him back to Beijing?" If this is the case, you must report to the Taishi immediately. "Daniel Zhang is brave and good at fighting, and he is desperate, if they come to the challenge, as long as they meet Daniel Zhang, there will definitely be casualties.

This person is not easy to mess with. Fortunately, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was young and ignorant and transferred him back. The man who spoke was happy for a while, and he was quite eager to try, looking forward to going back to the city to make a disturbance and disturbance.

Another said: "I don't know who replaced him?" ”

Several people discussed this matter non-stop, Daniel Zhang was not happy when he saw the Wara man, looked left and right, saw that there was no one nearby, greeted the soldiers, and said: "We outflanked the past, and no one was left." ”

The soldiers followed him for a long time, and nodded tacitly. Several people untied the reins and turned on their horses, Daniel Zhang and two pro-soldiers on the left, and the other two on the right, outflanking the past.

The man was talking happily, when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, and he was shocked, and saw Daniel Zhang taking the lead, galloping like a killing god. A few frightened souls were gone, I don't know who shouted, the companions were reminded, and they sighed, but after a few breaths, several Mongolian horses galloped from far and near.

They rested under the trees and let the horses graze everywhere. They grew up on horseback, and the horses they brought were all raised by their own hands, and they were not worried that the horses would get lost.

The horses galloped without stopping, and several people jumped on the horses, clamped the horse's belly, and desperately ran away.

Daniel Zhang and his soldiers were about to join the siege, when they saw several Mongolian horses galloping over, and in less than a breath, several Wara men had turned over on their horses, casually pulled out their quivers, and turned back to shoot arrows while running.

The distance between the two sides was extremely close, and the arrows were coming, and it was difficult to dodge, but fortunately, Daniel Zhang and his own soldiers had experienced a hundred battles, and each used the weapons in their hands to open up.

Daniel Zhang left the big tent, unable to carry a bow and arrow, and in a hurry, he drew his portable sword, looked at the back of the nearest enemy, and threw it.

"Ah-" The man who thought that Daniel Zhang was transferred back to the capital by the edict, and was very happy, only felt a sharp pain in his back, almost fell off the horse, and in danger, the whole person was on the horse's back, his hands were clenched to the horse's neck, and then fainted. The sword on his back swayed as the horses ran.

In the smoke and dust, a few Warat men fled without a trace.

Daniel Zhang led his soldiers to chase after him for a while, tightened the reins and said, "It's a pity to let them run." ”

The Mongolian horse was short and had strong endurance, and he did not run fast at first, and he could not outrun the horse. It's a pity that these Mongolian horses rested for a long time, ate grass again, and were full of energy. He stepped off the war horse and galloped last night until now, and he had been running all night and half a day, and he was already tired, so he let them escape.

The soldiers said: "My lord, do you want to go back and transfer troops to arrest them?" ”

This is in the territory of Daming, close to Datong, it is not easy to take a few Warat people?

Daniel Zhang shook his head and said, "No need. It is very likely that these people are the messengers of Warat. They definitely didn't have a good heart when they stayed in this area, and it was best if they could kill them quietly, and if they couldn't kill them, forget it. ”

After all, the other party bears the name of the messenger, and there is no right thing to kill them all, if he leaves a living mouth or spreads it, and starts a lawsuit of saliva, he will not be reasonable. It's really a big trouble, and those imperial historians in the court who have eaten enough and have nothing to do will definitely impeach him, and those with ulterior motives will also involve his son.

For the sake of my son, let them go.

He circled the horse's head again and dismounted under the tree.

A few people rested here and ate dry food, until there was no trace of the Warat people in the future.

"Let's go." Daniel Zhang got up and said.

…………

Several Warats ran for several miles, and seeing that Daniel Zhang did not catch up, one of them jumped off his horse and fell on the ground to listen, making sure that there was no sound of horses' hooves behind him, and then slowed down his horse and said, "Centurion, they did not chase." ”

The man at the head of the centurion, who was called the centurion, said, "Let's see how Mauisig is doing." ”

Mauiig is the man with the sword in his back, and after a miserable scream, he is silent, and several people don't know whether he is alive or dead, so they are naturally worried. Someone rode over, scooped up Mauiig's reins from his horse, reined in his horse, helped him down, and when he sniffed, he found that he was still alive, but there was a trail of blood where the horse had passed.

After helping Mauisig stop the bleeding, several people discussed for a long time, but there was no way, the centurion said: "Go to Datong City to hide first, and wait for the commander to come back and listen to his orders." ”

The commander he spoke of was Gessel. He received an order from Gessel to gather outside the city of Datong, so he decided to wait for the order at the concentration site.

The closer they got to Datong, the more they were afraid of encountering the defenders, so they hid and hid slowly, and finally hid their horses, walked at night, and hid during the day.
