Text Chapter 35 Back to the Eccentric Pass
Two days later, the north gate of Datong.
Because it is located in a key place on the border, this Datong is also subject to a curfew like Beijing, and there are far fewer places for privileged people and pleasure places such as Goolan here than in the cities of the Central Plains, so there are no people in the whole city at this time.
At this time, it was an excellent time for the secret trip, and a team of more than 20 people, pretending to be Mengren, had quietly walked out of the Great Wall and stepped into the grassland after delivering the relevant tokens.
More than half of this group of people were real Mongolians. Although there have always been disputes between the Ming and the Mongolian people for more than 100 years, and the two sides regard each other as enemies, this does not affect the acceptance of some Mongolian people in the border army as generals to defend the land.
However, in addition to these Mongolian people, there are still a few Han people in the team disguised as them, Yang Chen is one of them, and the other is the real commander of this team, who once led the troops to rescue Yang Chen and their Datong Qianzong Ding Yueqian in the security fort. However, in order not to let people see the flaws, on the surface, he was the same as Yang Chen, and he was also an ordinary Tasu soldier.
In Yang Yiqing's entire plan, they will rush to Bitou Pass as a defector from the Tasu Department to Daming to report the news, and then take the opportunity of recuperating from their injuries and being screened in it, taking advantage of the fact that the officials and soldiers in the pass are not too wary of them and cooperate with Yang Chen to find out the evidence of those corrupt officials embezzling military funds for repairing the city. It is precisely because they have such an identity that they can only step out of the Great Wall again and rush from the grassland to the Biaotou Pass.
After quietly leaving Datong and moving forward for another journey, everyone was completely relieved. Ding Yueqian deliberately rode his horse to Yang Chen's side, and said apologetically: "Lord Yang, I didn't live with you, I originally wanted to introduce you, but in the end, you were thrown into a prison cell by the chief master, and I can't do anything about it." ”
"Mr. Ding Qian, you are serious, this is not your fault at all, you are just following orders." Yang Chen hurriedly smiled and said, "Besides, I'm not doing well, isn't it?" It's all just a means for the chief lord to paralyze the eyes of those corrupt officials, how can I blame you? But it is the kindness you gave me in the place where I am mortal that should be remembered in the future. ”
When Ding Yueqian heard him say this, his heart was relieved: "Lord Yang is really broad-minded, and I admire Lao Ding very much." Don't worry, this time I will go to the wrong pass, Lao Ding, even if I don't want to fight for my own life, I will definitely protect you. ”
These words made Yang Chen frown slightly, this is not a good thing, so he quickly intercepted and said: "Mr. Qian is serious again, as long as we go according to the plan, we will definitely be able to ensure that everyone is safe." ”
"What you're saying is that I said the wrong thing." Ding Yueqian smiled, and slapped his hand lightly on his face, which was regarded as punishing himself.
Just as the conversation between the two came to an end, Tana came over and said solemnly: "You two better change your words as soon as possible, don't be an adult in one mouth, if you get to that partial level and still call each other like this, we will all be in trouble." ”
Only then did the two of them understand, and they quickly nodded their heads again and again. After all, it is not only about the lives of these 20 people, but also about the stability of the entire Great Wall.
In order to adapt to the identity he pretended to be as soon as possible, the two rarely had a conversation after that, and only regarded themselves as a mute - in fact, this is also the normal state of the Mongolian people after entering the realm of the Ming Dynasty, after all, only a few Mongolians can understand Chinese, and these things to negotiate with people naturally do not need the ordinary warriors of the tribe they are currently doing at the moment, as long as they follow the side.
So in the next two days, the group of people hurried with their heads covered, and rushed to the location of the partial head pass as fast as possible. Fortunately, Ding Yueqian led the troops to clean up the Mongolian people in the vicinity, so the journey was quite smooth, and by the afternoon of the third day, they had seen the quaint city wall of the Guancheng from afar.
Looking at this familiar Guancheng, Yang Chen felt a burst of emotion in his heart, although it took less than half a month from his venture to leave and come back, but the twists and turns in it gave people an extremely long illusion, and it was almost the same as a lifetime.
Compared with the rush when he went, he had a lot of confidence to go back to the Eccentricity, Huang Feng replaced these border soldiers who had experienced a hundred battles in Datong, he believed that as long as everyone was careful enough, they would be able to successfully complete this task, and at the same time ensure the safety of the nobles who should have been in the Eccentric Pass.
After thinking about it, the team had come to the gate, and quickly attracted the vigilance of the guards, and the bows and arrows were already in a state of pulling, and the arrows were also mounted and aimed at the bottom. Then a military attache shouted at the head of the city and asked, "Who are you waiting for?" Why did I come to the offset? ”
Although the Ming and the Mongols have always been in a state of war, as long as the Mongols do not invade on a large scale, the generals defending the city will not order an attack as soon as they see the Mongols. After all, sometimes the credit for killing or capturing a few enemies is greater for the Mongols to surrender automatically.
At this time, it is natural that the real people from the Tasu Department have to come forward to speak. Qinggel urged his horse to get off his hip, pretending to be a little tired, and rushed up and shouted: "This Ming general, we are from the Tatar tribe, the Tasu tribe, because there is an important matter that needs to be passed to you, so we will risk our lives to rush here. I hope you will open the city as soon as possible, and let us in to meet your general. ”
These words caused a burst of laughter from the Ming army on the city, and the other party actually called one of their team members a general, and then called Lord Qianzong also a general, which really has the meaning of respecting and inferior, no wonder it is a barbarian. However, this made their guard a little lowered, and the team replied, "You should stay in the city and not move around, and make a decision after I go to report it." As he spoke, he called one of his subordinates and asked him to go down to the city to find the general messenger, whether to open the city or not, whether to let these Mongolian people come in is not something that a small person like him can make a decision.
In this regard, everyone outside the city naturally had no opinions, so they honestly stayed under the range of the bows and arrows of the defenders at the head of the city, with a clear conscience. Now, if there is an order from above the city, I am afraid that these twenty people will have to give an account here.
However, they won the trust of the defenders, and after a few orders they put away the bows and arrows aimed at them, but the eyes of the defenders were still on them from time to time, for fear that something might suddenly happen to them.
waited for a meal before the city had a new reaction: "My family Qianzong said, let the leader of you talk back and forth, if there is no problem, let you wait to enter the city." As he spoke, a basket was lowered by a rope and dragged up to the city until someone had entered.
In this regard, Yang Chen and the others were not too surprised, if Tana and the others were not all seriously injured at the beginning, and they were sent to Datong City by Ding Yueqian and half escorted, I am afraid they would have to face similar treatment.
After a few people changed their eyes, it was Qingle who came forward to negotiate with the defenders of the city. I saw that after he untied his weapon, he climbed into the bamboo basket a little awkwardly, and then rose little by little under the shouts of the defenders at the head of the city, and was finally pulled up to the city.
He ...... Nothing could go wrong, right? Seeing that people were pulled into the city, Ding Yueqian was a little relieved, and couldn't help muttering.
Tana heard it and quickly replied, "Don't worry. Chingler is the bravest and wisest warrior in our Tasu Division, and it is thanks to him that we were able to escape from the thousands of men of Bohur, so he will be fine if he copes with it. ”
Sure enough, after a while, the closed door was finally opened a gap for one or two horsemen to pass through, and the defenders of the city shouted: "Come in, all of you." Remember to hand over all your weapons when you enter the customs, otherwise don't blame us for treating you as enemies! ”
Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief, and led the war horses as they said, and slowly walked into the narrow gate, and after walking out of the deep passage several feet long, they saw dozens of defenders with bows and knives standing on both sides staring at them with wariness, as if as long as they made the slightest mistake, these people would not hesitate to pounce on them.
However, of course, Yang Chen and the others couldn't have such a move, and they were still coming to them, and they handed over the scimitars, bows and arrows in their hands very cooperatively, to show that they had no hostility.
It wasn't until they were confirmed that they could not be attacked, and the guarded defenders completely relaxed, put away their swords, put down their bows and arrows, and then looked at them with playful eyes, especially many of them, who looked at Tana at the head - her delicate figure set off by the clothes of the Mongols, and the peugeot face made it clear at a glance that she was a woman.
Just as someone began to chuckle and whisper, a general with a serious face, dressed in military uniform, and wearing a long sword at his waist, had already met Qingle. After seeing Tana, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he stepped forward with a smile and hugged his fists and said: "This official is the head guard of the Guanqian Zong thunder, presumably the girl is Miss Tana." Sure enough, she is a heroine, which is admirable. ”
"Tana has seen Mr. Lei Qian, I can't afford such praise." Tana behaved very appropriately at this time, just stepped forward with a smile and gave Lei Ming a greeting gift. And the people behind her, including Yang Chen, also made a similar chest ceremony.
"Hahaha, okay. You can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, come to my Ming to deliver the news, this matter will definitely be reported to the truth, as long as the matter is true, my Ming court will not treat you badly. Lei Ming laughed happily, then stretched out his hand and asked a few of them to go inside with him.
Yang Chen was mixed in the crowd of Mongolian people, looking at the familiar environment in front of him, he sighed in his heart, he finally returned to this partial pass, and this time, he must complete the matter, and he can't escape in embarrassment like before!
