Not long after Li Yu lived in the Yanghe Post House, Zhang Chuanjie, the superintendent of the standard, took Wang Yongqiang and Liu Qian, the two captains, and found them, the brothers hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they shouted when they hugged each other, Liu Qian opened his mouth and asked Li Yu to treat him, Wang Yongqiang also coaxed, Li Guerrilla got married, and as soon as he married, he was two wives, so he should eat him well.

Li Yu patted his chest, let's go eat bread and mutton soup, Zhang Chuanjie and they immediately objected, how can such a big thing be finished with a bowl of mutton soup, how can you eat a good meal, Chen Erzhu immediately patted his pocket and said, Brother Yuzi, we have money, when you were at the governor's place, Lord Song quietly stuffed us with three taels of silver for expenses, and the governor Zhang didn't know how, and he also came to send five taels of silver, and we have money to eat.

Li Yu said happily: "Then we will eat the governor and the deputy envoy." ”

Li Yu took Mo Rige, Chen Erzhu, Liu Shishi and Zhang Chuanjie and the three of them immediately hooked their shoulders and carried out of the post house, the soldiers and the officials always think differently, they don't care what kind of wife Li Yu marries, the middle and lower level officers and soldiers of the Ming army are generally very poor, and there are many singles in their thirties and forties, who can marry a wife is a great joy, and others will never be willing to eat a meal.

After the earthquake in Yanghe, many shops were destroyed, and the streets were still a little messy, they looked for a long circle on the streets of Yanghe, and only then found a cheap and clean tavern to sit down, and then they had enough wine and meat to eat and talk, Zhang Chuanjie and others were very envious of Li Yu's young age to be a guerrilla, and they all felt that if this continued, it was possible for Li Yu to become a general soldier in the future.

Chen Erzhu said: "Do you think that our brother Yuzi is a good guerrilla, it is a knife and an arrow, the officials of the Ming Kingdom still don't pay us military salaries, how much risk did we take in the night attack on the Chahar camp last time, if you are not careful, you may not be able to come back, or you are better, hiding in Yanghe City and doing nothing, you still have military salaries." ”

Liu Qian was angry: "Chen Erzhu, don't say cool things, do you think Lao Tzu doesn't want to fight?" Those who are officials don't dare to fight, and those who are soldiers don't want to fight, what do you let us do? ”

Zhang Chuanjie waved his hand and said: "Don't quarrel, it's us who can't blame others for not being funny, Yuzi is this guerrilla, and I am convinced." ”

After drinking a few sips of wine, Wang Yongqiang and Liu Qian complained that there was no future in the governor, the former governor Zhang Xiao was dismissed, the new governor was too old to work for a few days, and the new governor would definitely use his own people in the future.

Li Yu immediately said that the guerrilla Governor Ma Qi had gone to Manhan Mountain to do business, and they had only met two days ago.

Zhang Chuanjie opened his mouth wide in surprise, and hurriedly said: "Yuzi, our brother is your brother, and when you can't get along in the future, you have to take us in." ”

Liu Shishi nodded first and said: "We are short of people who can be officials, but you think about it first, we don't have military salaries there, everyone eats in a pot, starvation is a common thing, I think I can endure this hardship and come back." ”

Liu Shishi's words were like pouring a bucket of cold water, Zhang Chuanjie and the three of them stopped talking, and after a while, Wang Yongqiang said: "If you really can't get along, I'll go to you, it's better than asking for food." ”

Li Yu kicked Wang Yongqiang: "The brothers finally got together, what are you doing when you say something frustrating, today we will eat meat and drink wine, and we will talk about it later." ”

Chen Erzhu and Liu Shishi said hello, and asked for a large plate of pork to eat, Liu Qian said with a smile: "You guard the cattle and sheep all day long, but it seems that you have never eaten meat in your life." ”

Liu Shishi touched his mouth and said: "What do you know, we lack what we want there, and we finally raise some cattle, sheep and livestock, and we have to send them to the horse market for life, who is willing to eat?" ”

Mo Rige, who doesn't like to talk, also opened his mouth: "We have a lot of money in the livestock, the death of a sheep must be reported to a hundred households, the death of a cow, a horse is a big deal, not only must be reported to a thousand households immediately, but the big decision will also send someone to investigate, whoever causes trouble will be whipped."

Zhang Chuanjie was taken aback: "It's so serious!" It seems that you are indeed having a hard time. ”

Wang Yongqiang and Liu Qian are also dumbfounded, it seems that Fengzhou's rice bowl is not good!

The meal was eaten for a long time, and a group of people talked and laughed until late before they dispersed.

Li Yu had a very easy life in Yanghe, everyone was waiting for Hudun Tuhan to come to the door to ask for food, and he was usually idle and had nothing to do, Wang Xiangqian looked for Li Yu to chat when he was bored, and the old Wang Tou quickly discovered Li Yu's greatest talent, this guy can actually understand Han, Mongolian, and Zhushen three languages and scripts, he praised Li Yu to the civil and military officials of Xuanda, who of you dares to look down on Jingyu guerrillas? With this hand, he can eat in the border town, which is more affordable than the middle lifter.

Wang Xiangqian in order to make peace with Hudun Tuhan summoned a lot of civil and military officials to the governor's palace to obey orders, when there is nothing to do, everyone is idle, the hot spots during this time are Zhang Yiming and Qu Jiazhen, the two unlucky guys, the emperor has ordered the arrest of two people and put them in prison, the criminal department of the messenger has taken the two away from Datong's home, the officials of Xuanda are generally a kind of rabbit death fox sad mood, and privately for the two of them are aggrieved, according to well-informed sources, Zhang Yiming is completely finished this time, the emperor wants to kill the chicken to show the monkey, and has hinted that the three law divisions have convicted Lao Zhang of a capital crimeOriginally, the emperor was still reasonable, knowing that the problem of the change in Datong was mainly due to the fact that the Ming army had no food and no pay, and Qu Jiazhen was able to make up a thousand people to defend Datong and it was considered hard work, and he planned to release Lao Qu and a horse, but the Chinese courtiers were not convinced, thinking that since they wanted to arrest Fu Chen, it would not make sense to let go of the town marshal who had the responsibility of defending the territory, and if they wanted to punish them, don't let them go, so Lao Qu was also unlucky, Lao Qu was wronged! Eighty percent will also be convicted of a capital crime. There are also people who say that the former governor Zhang Xiao can't be saved, and the Qingliu people in the court remembered the old account he played to Wei Gelding Jiansheng Temple, and said to the emperor that the ministers and town marshals have been arrested, and the top boss of the two of them, the governor Xuanda, is not small and should also be punished, and it seems that the old Zhang Tou is also going to suffer a lawsuit.

When everyone was discussing, Li Yu hid far away, here his official position was the smallest, and it was not his turn to speak, and Li Yu was usually with Wang Shizhong, the chief soldier of Fuyi of Xuanfu, and Wang Mumin, the general soldier of Fuyi in Datong, both of whom had just been transferred from Jiliao, both of them were Yiren, they were not familiar with the place, and the Chinese language was not good, and the officials of Xuanda did not want to see them, these two guys had nothing to say to others, and naturally regarded Li Yu as the same kind, everyone was from the land of barbarians to serve the Ming Kingdom and eat mixed rice, and no one could afford to put on a shelf, After the three of them braged nonsense a few times, they began to call themselves brothers, Wang Shizhong still had to be related to Li Yu, he claimed to be the grandson of the leader of Yehe, Jintaiji, and Chahar Khan's Sutai Hatun was his cousin, since Li Yu married Chahar Khan's sister, then the two of them were also in-laws, Li Yu thought for a long time and didn't know what kind of relatives this grandson and him were. Wang Shizhong is very refreshing, don't forget if you can't figure it out, anyway, our brothers are tied together, you are better than the two of us now, and you will take care of us more in the future.

Wang Shizhong complained that the Ming people had too many eyes, and they turned their faces when they said that they would turn their faces, and they Ye He listened to the words of the Ming officials and confronted the Jianzhou Department, but even Ye He City was lost in a defeat, and the Ming State did nothing except send a small number of useless soldiers to help defend the city, so that Ye He was wiped out, he didn't want to surrender to the Jianzhou Department, and he went all the way to the Ming State Jingshi, and the officials of the Ming State didn't want to pay attention to him, and sent him away after giving him a few meals.

Wang Guozhong said sadly: "Those days were miserable! I doubt that one day I will starve to death on the streets, but fortunately, Sun Ge Lao served as the governor of Jiliao, and I relied on Sun Ge Lao's support to find a job in Jiliao, brother, you have to pay more attention, without the troops and territory in your hands, no one will take you seriously! ”

Wang Mumin also said: "Brother, our people on the grassland are honest and kind, easy to be deceived, if you have anything in the future, you can find our brothers, and those of us who are brothers will definitely help you." ”

After a few days of mixing, Li Yu felt impatient, and at this time the Fengzhou Commander's Mansion sent an urgent report - Chahar Khan finally arrived, he personally led the Chahar army from Ordos to cross the Yellow River east into the Fengzhou West Outpost area, and sent Yunrong to the Barbarian Mountain to inform Li Yu to see him, the Great Commander's Mansion ordered a full preparation for war in case of emergency - Li Fugui, Ortai and Zhao Ji estimated that it was unlikely that the two sides would swear to start a war first, but they were also afraid that Chahar Khan would have a fever and clean them up together, All the 1,000 households in the west outpost of Urden have withdrawn to the Matou Mountain camp to join the two thousand households of Wuhai and Bake, the Qinwei battalion and the 1,000 households of the 1,000 households left behind in the Barbarian Mountain have already gone to the west bank of the Cangtou River to prepare for the attack, and the two thousand households of Qiu Xian and Borshu south of the Heihe River are also ready, as long as Chahar dares to make a move, they will immediately attack Kuku and Tun, and the two thousand households of Terig and Yang Dazhi in the east outpost are ready to reinforce Qiu Xian and Borshu at any time.

Li Yu quickly went to the Governor's Mansion to report, asking to return to the Manhan Mountain, the people of the Governor's Mansion were relieved to hear the news, Hudun Tuhan finally appeared, there is no doubt that he has received a report from the old capital of the big tent, and came to negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty - Ordos is vast and sparsely populated, and there is a large desert Gobi that cannot be grazed, and the local tribes are very poor, and he will not get much benefit from this victory, he is still a poor egg, and he has to ask for food when he should be.

"Jinglu guerrilla, you rush back immediately, Hudun Tuhan wants to see you, you go and tell him that this official has arrived in Yanghe, he wants to find a way to live, so he quickly begs for peace with me," Wang Xiangqian finished speaking to Li Yu, and then instructed Song Tongyin, "Offer a campaign, Hudun Tuhan wants to come to the peace meeting, you will take the general soldier of Datong Fuyi Wang Mumin and others on behalf of this official." ”

Zhang Zongheng added: "Jingyu guerrilla, if Hudun Rabbit dares to make trouble and provoke, you will beat me hard." ”

Li Yu wanted to leave immediately, but when he heard Zhang Zongheng's words, he stood up again, and said with a sad face: "Lord Governor, the last general has no food, no salary, and no armament, so he can't beat the Han!" ”

Zhang Zongheng was a little angry when he heard this, this guy also learned to negotiate the price, Song Tongyin hurriedly said: "It is really difficult for Jingyu guerrillas to attack there, now that the autumn grain has begun to enter the warehouse, you can give them some food, arrows and other ordnance can also be given, if something happens to them there, the side wall will be dangerous." ”

Wang Xiangqian also nodded in agreement, and Zhang Zongheng said to Li Yu angrily: "Don't worry, this official will send someone to send you some food and arrows, don't go quickly!" ”

Fengzhou Chuan, Fengzhou soldiers and Chahar soldiers have been facing each other on both sides of the Cangtou River, the two families are their own people on the surface, but in fact, everyone is on guard against the other party hacking themselves, Ortai even sent people to monitor Wu Langha and her gang of Chahar people, which made Wu Langha complain, but Wu Langha is still more interesting, knowing that this is not a place for her to mess around, after the news of the Ebuha River reached the Barbarian Mountain, the people of the Barbarian Mountain looked at their Chahar people A little wrong, especially when Ulan learned that his father Khan was killed in battle, The news that his brother Batu's whereabouts are unknown, as soon as he sees Wu Langha, he looks at him angrily, so Wu Langha is very disciplined these days.

The Chahar people couldn't stand this atmosphere, and Chaolu, who had been transferred to the guard camp, brought a large group of people to Zhao Ji to complain, and these people swore to tell Zhao Ji that the most loyal to the Great Commander was none other than their group of Chahar people, who followed those evil Chahar nobles in the past, they could only live a hard life without enough food and clothing, maybe one day they would freeze to death and starve to death, after defecting to the Great Commander, they finally turned over and were liberated, ate a big pot of rice, and no one bullied them anymore, they would never allow others to destroy their happy life, Not even the Great Khan of Chahar. Zhao Ji was startled by the excitement of the Chahar people, everyone was tired of eating the big pot of rice, these guys also ate with relish, it seems that the Chahar people were hungry and afraid, and finally under the unanimous request of the Chahar people, Zhao Ji agreed to put them on the front line of the Cangtou River, so seven or eight hundred Chahar young men under the leadership of Chaolu drove to the Cangtou River with great fanfare and confronted their people.

Yun Rong is the hardest working person, he went to the Barbarian Mountain at the behest of the Great Khan, and as soon as he arrived at the camp, he was besieged by Li Fugui, Ortai and Namur, we just swore an oath, and your Great Khan will rush into our territory, are you planning to break the contract? Did your Great Khan have a bad idea to ask our Grand Commander to meet him? Yun Rong swore to the sky, this time the Great Khan took the opportunity to go to Mingbian to make peace, and by the way to meet his new brother-in-law, he would definitely leave after the matter was done, and he would never break the contract, Yun Rong also said that he was also a loyal supporter of Fengzhou's new life, and he was also a good friend with everyone, how could he do something sorry for his friends, he Yunrong would come out to meet people in the future!

Li Fugui said bluntly, we can trust you Yunrong, and even believe in the Great Khan, but are the nobles around the Great Khan trustworthy? You Chahar are fragmented and scattered, can you guarantee that those nobles will not take the opportunity to make our great commander ruined? Yun Rong has nothing to say, those Chahar nobles are indeed not things, a fool will believe them, he hurriedly ran back to ask Chahar Khan again, Chahar Khan also felt that the Taiji around him were really unreliable, and he couldn't tell if there would be a madman, he said very generously, since this is the case, I will meet my new brother-in-law by the Cangtou River, Yun Rong returned to the Barbarian Mountain to inform everyone of the latest progress, Li Fugui They are not easy to refuse, but they continue to argue in the details, Yun Rong has to run back again, and finally put the location, The etiquette and the number of guards on both sides have been decided, Yun Rong sighed and said, Now it's over, let's set the time.

Li Fugui nodded, okay, so be it, but you still have to wait for our Great Commander to come back, Yun Rong is angry, after making trouble for a long time, your Great Commander is not here at all, you plan to exhaust me to death! Li Fugui said confidently: "Do you know where our Great Commander went? It's to go to the yang and! Our great commander is now a person who is named in the Ming court, and the new governor of Xuanda has to see our great commander as soon as he comes, and he also said that the things inside and outside the wall here cannot be played without our great commander, and he has invited four or five times, and our great commander really can't wipe off his face before going, our great commander is good enough, you can wait with peace of mind. ”

Yun Rong said angrily: "Count you cows, I won't leave, I'll wait for him here." ”

Li Yu rushed back to the camp of Barbarian Mountain, Yun Rong breathed a sigh of relief, Chahar Khan and Li Yu's first meeting was finally decided, Wu Langha came out, and when he saw Li Yu, he said with tears in his eyes that he wanted to live and die with Li Yu, and after discussing with Li Fugui and Ortai, Wulan agreed that she would accompany Li Yu to meet her brother Khan.

By the Cangtou River, the prairie in autumn is still green and grassy, but the river water is a little yellow, meandering through the grassland, the white fog gradually dissipated, a large number of cavalry suddenly appeared on the east bank of the river, and then the horn sounded, and the opposite bank soon came to respond to the horn, Li Yu, who was draped all over his body, turned his head and said to Zhao Ji beside him: "Chahar Khan has arrived, I should pass, you stay and lead the team to guard." ”

Li Yu waved his hand, five hundred guards battalion iron cavalry followed him out of the queue, quickly waded across the Cangtou River to the opposite bank, just met with a group of cavalry of similar numbers galloping on the opposite side, both sides stopped, four or five hundred steps apart from each other in formation, Li Yu looked at the opposite side, a group of people were pointing at him under the big line, Wu Langha beside Li Yu suddenly shouted, and then rushed over desperately.

"Brother Great Khan, sister Taisong." Wu Langha rushed to the bottom of the big river and hugged his brother and sister warmly, Chahar Khan stroked his sister's long hair, smiled and said: "Wu Langha, my lark-like sister, you are more beautiful than before, is your Li Yucha here?" ”

"He's coming, he's coming to Brother Khan, and he's the tallest one." Wu Langha excitedly pointed behind him - Li Yu left Meng Ke and Jida behind, and was walking towards this side with Mo Rige and Chen Erzhu, Chahar Khan nodded, and Yun Rong rode out from his side to greet Li Yu. Under the guidance of Yun Rong, Li Yu turned over and dismounted in front of Chahar Khan, knelt down in front of Chahar Khan, and shouted loudly: "Great Commander Tumut Li Yu sees the Great Khan, may the Great Khan be auspicious!" ”
