Under the blue sky, by the turbulent Luan River, on the endless prairie, the king of Gaoyang County of the Ming Dynasty and the prince of the Great Mongolian Kingdom, Benjamin, were galloping on horseback, shouting loudly, and behind them were the guards and pro-soldiers of the two. Zhang Fu was also in the crowd, but he felt that this kind of scene was very dazzling, and Zhu Gaoxu was talking to Benjamin in fluent Mongolian, which made Zhang Fu feel as if something was blocking his heart......

After the blood alliance, the two sides talked about the details of cooperation, and then in order to show the friendship between the two sides, Zhu Gaoxu stayed overnight, and only set off the next morning.

When he returned to Zunhua again, Zhang Fu felt like a world away, and he finally understood the reason why Zhu Gaochu was proficient in Mongolian, but still wanted him to participate in the negotiations, because Zhu Gaochu had the ambition to win the throne. In fact, in Zhang Fu's opinion, this is not surprising, the cavalry of Wuliang Ha Sanwei is the most elite cavalry of the Yan army, and these cavalry are single-handedly organized by Zhu Gaoxu; Zhu Gaoxu was also responsible for the negotiation and cooperation with the Mongols, and in order to achieve his goal, he did not hesitate to bow down with Benjamin and win over his feelings; In the next day, he will lead 100,000 Mongolian iron horsemen to the south to defeat Sheng Yong and Ping'an, and lay the victory of the prince in one fell swoop; Not to mention that when the prince was defeated in Baoding, Zhu Gaoxu personally led the cavalry to save him.

But Zhu Gaochu has a congenital deficiency, that is, there is also a son, Zhu Gaochi, who was canonized by Emperor Hongwu himself, and his status is difficult to shake. So Zhu Gaochu began to win over the generals, he is a target of Zhu Gaoxu, although his father died early, but there are still many old departments, once he throws himself into Zhu Gaoxu, then these old departments will gradually transfer to Zhu Gaochu's command, which is a big force; Moreover, Zhu Gaoxu also promised to let himself act as the vanguard of the south, once he defeated Ping'an and Sheng Yong, then his military exploits could be comparable to his father, Zhu Neng and others, and he should be treated as a hereditary prince in the future. With such a big temptation, it is not normal for him not to be moved, so he cautiously expressed his allegiance to Zhu Gaoxu, which made Zhu Gaochu very satisfied, but Zhang Fu's heart was mixed.

Unfortunately, it was just a dream. As Zhang Fu learned more, the more heavy he felt in his heart, how could such a confidential matter be known to the people of the imperial court? This shows that in the area of Zunhua, Jizhou and Xifengkouguan, or in the city of Beiping, someone threw himself into the imperial court, but who is this person? Or who are these people? Zhang Fu recalled what he had seen and heard in Zunhua and Xifengkou, and he felt that everyone was suspicious, but he felt that everyone was not suspicious.

What to do? Did you expose this matter to the prince? Zhang Fu smiled bitterly, even if the prince knew about this, he would not cancel the cooperation with Mongolia, and would only turn from secret to public, but would this stop the offensive of the imperial court? This is obviously impossible, just a slight delay in the battle, and there is another possibility, once the Mongols know the news and give up entering the customs, the prince will face a greater dilemma. As for himself, he will be recognized by the court as the loyal of the prince, and it will inevitably be the end of the family and destruction in the future, but watching the prince step by step towards destruction without taking a hand, Zhang Fu couldn't bear it, but at the cost of the Zhang family's annihilation, the prince's family lived for a few more days, and Zhang Fu was also unwilling in his heart.

After returning home, there was no word all night.

The next morning, Zhang Fu went to inspect the market of the mutual market, and he found this market very interesting, the Han and the Mongols could not trade directly with each other, and had to be used as middlemen by merchants of the Uliangha tribe or merchants with special certificates of the Yamen, they generally had to take about 20%, and the transaction could be bartered, or silver or silver tickets. Most Han Chinese choose to barter, and a small number of Mongols will also ask for silver money and then go to the shops in the city to buy things themselves. Not far from the guardrail, there was also a small military camp, which Zhang Fu estimated could accommodate about two or three hundred soldiers, and according to his observations, there were Han and Mongols, and their duty was to protect the safety of both sides of the trade.

As soon as Zhang Fu returned to the mansion, the steward Zhao San greeted him and said in a low voice: "Young master, just now a person who claimed to be the young owner of the Liaodong firm 'Yu Fu Ji' came to visit, and the little one has already arranged it in the side hall. ”

"Arranged in the side hall?" Zhang Fuyi frowned, feeling that Zhao San was a little strange, he was not a big official, and he had always been cautious, and rarely interacted with officials outside the army, let alone businessmen.

Looking at Zhang Fu's frowning brows, Zhao San hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "The young master will find out if he goes to see it, the little one didn't want him to come in, but he was afraid that it would be too eye-catching on the street." ”

Eye-catching? Zhang Fu immediately stopped, Zhao San looked around, leaned over to Zhang Fu's ear, and said in a low voice: "Young Master, Shao Yun, Shao Gongzi is here." ”

"Ahh Zhang Fu said in a low voice: "No one saw it, right?" ”

"This," Zhao San said with some embarrassment: "When I was waiting at the door, someone must have seen it, after entering the mansion, although the small one was very cautious, but this was broad daylight, and it couldn't be avoided, but the small one didn't know, if anyone knew him." ”

This, Zhang Fu also rubbed his brows, Shao Yun is not a small person now, he is the commander of Wei, and he is an official of the fourth grade, especially at this sensitive moment, if he doesn't know him, someone will know him, alas, why is this Shao Yun so careless.

Thinking of this, Zhang Fu ordered Zhao San to transfer the people near the side hall and go to see Shao Yun in person.

Zhang Fu pushed open the door of the side hall, the first thing that caught his eye was a back figure in a white robe, admiring a landscape picture hanging on the wall, when he heard the door ring, he turned around, saw Zhang Fu who walked in, and smiled slightly: "Wen Bi, don't come unharmed!" ”

Zhang Fu paused slightly, walked up quickly, and hugged Shao Yun: "Brother, why are you here?" Uncle Zhao told me, I can't believe it, but I want to kill my brother! ”

Shao Yun hugged Zhang Fu back, patted him on the back, and said with a smile: "Wen Bi, my brother also misses my brother." ”

The two exchanged pleasantries before they both sat down. Zhang Fu personally poured tea for Shao Yun, and then the two of them drank it all.

After sitting down, the two looked at each other, in Zhang Fu's eyes, the former high-spirited and instructive classmate was gone, and now Shao Yun is more quiet and restrained, even if he smiles, he is faint, and there is a faint melancholy between his eyebrows and eyes; In Shao Yun's eyes, Zhang Fu in front of him also became introverted and deep, although his eyes were smiling, there was no smile in his eyes, and his calmness and coldness were no longer comparable to those in the past.

Seeing this, Shao Yun couldn't help but say: "I didn't expect that after many years of separation, Brother Wen Bi has become more and more heroic, it seems that half a year of battlefield battles has made Brother Wen Bi grow a lot." ”

"Hehe," Zhang Fu smiled bitterly: "Yixiang, you don't have to laugh at me as a brother, and I don't know if I will have a chance to go to the battlefield again in the future." ”

After Shao Yun listened, he didn't answer, but picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Zhang Fu pondered his words for a moment and said in a low voice: "Yixiang, why do you have time to come to me?" Is it okay to look forward to? ”

"It's very good, it is estimated that after a while, I will leave for Tongzhou to assist General Right in attacking the city. As for me," Shao Yun said seemingly casually, "It was Lord Wang who asked me to come." ”

"Son-sama?" Zhang Fu hurriedly asked.

"Yes."

Zhang Fu sighed and said with a forced smile: "It seems that Lord Wang has not forgotten me, an unfilial student." ”

"Of course, in fact, not only Lord Wang, how can we, fellow students, forget Brother Wen Bi's ambition to seal the wolf Juxu one day?"

"Don't dare to be, it was just the words of youth and frivolity in the past."

"Could it be that Brother Wen Bi has forgotten his life's ambition?" Shao Yun gently put the teacup on the table and smiled indifferently.
