After a few days of pulling the skin, the negotiations between the two sides finally had some results, both sides did not want to fight, agreed not to offend each other, each to discuss their own lives without interfering with each other, the barbarian mountain respected the Chahar Great Khan, the Chahar Great Khan recognized Li Yuhong Batulu's honorific title, Yun Rong proposed that when one side sent troops to attack a third party, the other party must send troops to help, Li Fugui categorically vetoed, but proposed that when one party sends troops to fight a third party, it must obtain the consent of the other party, otherwise the other side has the right to choose to send troops to the third party area to fight with the sending party, However, he also promised that Barbarian Mountain would never help the Mongolian right wing of Ordos, of course Yun Rong understood that this was Barbarian Mountain to hold on to the thighs of Ming Guo, and he immediately proposed that if a third party sent troops to attack one side, the other party must send troops to help, Li Fugui first sneered, and then readily agreed, he understood the truth of cold lips and teeth, Yun Rong was more satisfied, this is what he wanted most, Barbarian Mountain was invisibly dragged by him to the chariot against Jin Guo.

Ortai proposed to return the land and pastures of Kuku and Tunhe Dongshao, Yun Rong agreed to persuade Chahar Khan - now the area controlled by Chahar is too big to be controlled at all, Chahar Khan should be able to agree, but Yun Rong demanded that he must pay grain and taxes, Li Fugui resolutely refused, the weather outside the border was cold and barren, and the livestock and grain were not enough to eat by himself, how could he have the spare strength to pay taxes, he proposed that as long as the Barbarian Mountain could enter the Ming horse market, Chahar's goods could be handed over to him to trade with the Ming Kingdom, so as to help Chahar obtain benefits, Yun Rong thought about it and felt that it was more realistic to do so.

However, Yun Rong's last question made everyone quarrel again, Yun Rong raised the matter of harmony, since Wu Langha has come to you, and you have annexed her subordinates, then she has to have a name, didn't Li Hanmin say that they should trust each other? Let's marry the princess to him, we finally trust him, anyway, he is also a single, the two of them just make do with each other, so that everyone will be closer?

"Nonsense, only our Royal Highness Princess Wulan can marry Li Hanmin, and she wants to remarry as soon as she is widowed, you can think of it, besides, your princess is more than ten years older than us Hanmin, do you think it is appropriate?" Ortai immediately objected.

"Yunhezhou, you are too much, Li Hanmin and Wulan are a natural pair, all the people in the Barbarian Han Mountain know that Hanmin is Tabu Bag, no one wants to break them up, you take your princess back, marry whoever you like, don't stay with us." Na Mu'er, who got along with Yun Rong the best in the past few days, was also angry, he loved Wulan with all his heart, but he knew that Wulan only had Li Yu in his heart, so he could only accompany Wulan silently, and sincerely wished that this pair would become a good relationship soon, and now Wu Langha wanted to insert a lever, and he would be anxious immediately.

Yun Rong was also a little embarrassed, but Chahar Khan had this meaning, Wu Langha was even more anxious to marry himself, he couldn't help but say, he blushed and said: "Actually, I don't want to do anything about breaking up people, Li Hanmin can marry both, as long as he marries our princess first." ”

"Don't think!" Ortai and Namur replied in unison, and the two of them immediately scolded Yun Rong, Yun Rong was said to be in a hurry, pointing at the two and responding: "You don't want our princess, then why are you still annexing her subordinates, how can she go back like this?" You also did this kind of thing that you don't recognize people when you pull up your pants? ”

"Who pulled up their pants and didn't recognize anyone? It's also your princess's job to take off your pants, and our Hanmin family is very pure! Ortai also used a foul language, which provoked Yun Rong at once, and the two scolded each other.

Li Fugui saw that the more noisy they became, the more disagreeable they became, and came out to be a peacemaker: "Everyone is a scholar, and we should speak kindly, I think so, His Royal Highness Wu Langha will stay here with us first, we will never treat her badly, as for marriage, we have our own heavenly arrangement, so we don't have to worry so much." ”

Yun Rong endured his breath and didn't say anything, but he was thinking about how to make it clear to Wu Langha, and her own affairs depended on how she was scheming. Ortai is also thinking about letting Li Yu and Ulan get married soon, and they can't leave an opportunity for others to take advantage of, so it's best to invite the Erji Lama to come and have his old man to witness it, and in the future, the Taiji and Nuoyan people on the grassland will have to recognize this family.

Li Yu rushed all the way to Fort Victory with a hundred guards, Li Huai finally breathed a sigh of relief, Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Datong, forced him to hand over Fort Victory, and Song Tongyin, the deputy envoy of Datong, also recruited him to return to Yanghe, he was almost unbearable. As soon as Li Yu arrived, Li Huai carefully explained the situation in the Victory Fort.

Bai Xianzhi handed over the seal of the victory fort, and then disguised himself as a lama and slipped back to Datong, Datong governor Zhang Yiming and Datong general soldier Qu Jiazhen did not care, at that time Datong was besieged The situation was not good, someone could take the victory fort this mess over, they also couldn't ask for it, after Datong lifted the siege, they were already their own hard to protect, and the matter of the victory fort was also forgotten, Li Huai took advantage of this time to take the opportunity to make waves, and became the only character in the victory fort, the people of the barbarian mountain listened to him, and the Ming army also unanimously supported him.

Fort of Victory is not only an important pass of the side wall, but also one of the three major horse markets of Fort of Victory, Fort Shoukou and Fort Xinping, which were set up by the imperial court in Datong Town when I answered the tribute, and there are many private merchants in the fort of the Ministry of War, and many private merchants, after Li Huai took charge of Fort of Victory, he was very considerate of the Ming army of Fort Sheng, he expressed great sympathy for the brothers of the Ming Army who could not get the military salary and could not eat enough, but he also had no money to help everyone, so everyone had to find a way to make money by themselves, and he also hinted that the officials of the Taifu Temple Branch and the management of the horse market had run away, and he was a person who read the books of sages, I don't know anything about doing business, he just has to keep the pass, he can't manage other things, as soon as he opens his mouth like this, the fool also understands what's going on, these guys have been here for a long time, and the horse market is all about it, this is a good place to make money, so the Ming Army's business self-help activities began.

In the past, the horse market had a big market that opened once or twice a year in spring and autumn, and there was also a monthly market that was open to the people once a month, the horse market was fenced up, and the Yi people who participated in the mutual market had to wait outside after the officials checked their identities, and only those who called their names could enter the transaction, and the goods could only be released after inspection, and after the transaction was completed, they had to pay the officials in charge of the horse market to pay almost one percent of the value of the "draw points", and the important livestock such as camels, horses, and cattle of the Yi people could only be collected and sold by the Taifu Temple, which was indispensable for the extortion of officials. When the branch of Taifu Temple collected and sold livestock, it also deliberately lowered the purchase price, and then sold it to the people at a high price to make a lot of profits, and part of the income from the horse market went into the Changying Treasury of the Imperial Court Taifu Temple, and most of it went into the pockets of officials, but the merchants on both sides suffered.

The soldiers are real, taking advantage of the fact that no one cares about them now, immediately tear down the fence of the horse market, mobilize merchants everywhere to do business, and ensure that whatever the merchants do, when they do it, they do not care, the horse market does not collect, they only charge a reasonable amount of hard money, this time the horse market on the edge of the victory is lively, the merchants can't care about the war outside, their goods can not be smashed in their hands, and the Mongolians outside the border are also in urgent need of food, cloth, iron, no government life is good, the two sides hit it off, business will be done immediatelyLater, the Ming army saw that the Ming army saw the goods and collected dozens of big sons, and the more people who came, the more money, and also made a handful, and then the Ming army looked at the people making money, and they also participated in it, they first stole the things in the barracks and the warehouse in the fort to sell, and even smashed a few artillery pieces on the fort into scrap copper and scrap iron to sell, and then under the hint of the officer, they went to steal the things in the official office in the fort, and at first they still stole and then simply took it openly, and they also pulled the people of the barbarian mountain Wuerden and Wu Da with two thousand households, and everyone decided to attack and defend the allianceLater, the government traced it, and the Ming army said that the Mongols did it, and the Mongols said that the Ming army did it, and they didn't admit it anyway - this great loot almost divided up the Ming state-owned assets of the victorious fort and several surrounding forts, and the official office of the richest Taifu Temple branch in the fort was almost only left with walls and roofs, and only the general's mansion was temporarily protected from theft and looting because it was the place where Mr. Li, who was loved by everyone, lived.

The anarchy caused by Li Huai benefited the officers and soldiers of Fort Shengbao and the vast number of businessmen, and everyone hoped that Li Huai would stay in Fort Victory as long as possible, so when the new governor of Datong, Zhang Zongheng, arrived, it was not easy to get rid of Li Huai. Zhang Zongheng didn't take it seriously at first, Li Huai is a person from the Governor's Mansion and a son of the Ming Dynasty, of course, he is his own person. He instructed the Datong General Military Mansion to politely send an official document, asking Li Huai to take those soldiers out of the customs, but the General Military Mansion even ordered a few documents Li Huai just did not move, Li Huai was forced to reply to a letter, telling the Datong General Military Mansion that it was not that he didn't want to go but didn't dare to go, the original Shengbao staff general Xing Wanmin didn't even find a bone after leaving, who knows whether this guy is dead or alive, and the new Shengbao general sent by the imperial court has not arrived, and the seal in his hand can not be handed over, if the handover is not clear, who is responsible for what happens in the future? He demanded that the governor of Datong must personally issue an official document to send someone to hand over, in addition he is a person from the Xuanda Governor's Palace, and there must be an official document from the Xuanda Governor's Office agreeing to the transfer, the new general of Datong Man Gui felt that Li Huai was reasonable, and immediately pushed the matter back to the governor of Datong, Zhang Zongheng scolded this dead-eyed Li Juren to death in his heart, and had to personally write a letter to ask Li Huai to hand over the seal of the defense to the Zhenqiang Fort garrison, and immediately took the Tatars away, and took the official document of the Xuanda Governor's Mansion and sent someone to the Victory Fort, a few days later Li Huai's letter came, He still couldn't hand it over, because the garrison of Zhenqiang Fort fell ill in bed and couldn't see things, please send another person - delay for a day to earn an extra day's money, this is the unanimous wish of the officers and soldiers of Fort Victory, the garrison of Zhenqiang Fort immediately fell ill very interestingly, and the post of general fell to him, so he would not provoke public anger.

Zhang Zongheng was angry, a small man with no official body dared to push back with him, could this set of ghost tricks hide from him? He sent someone to tell Li Huai, you immediately take your Tatar soldiers to get out, and the seal of the defense will be handed over to the garrison of Zhenqiang Fort for temporary management, not to mention that he is sick or he is dead, you put the big seal on his coffin and count, if you dare to disobey your orders, I will inform Shaanxi Xuezheng to reform your reputation and hand you over to the government for punishment, Li Huai knew that he couldn't stand it, and Li Yu happened to arrive at this time.

Li Huai smiled bitterly and said to Li Yu: "The situation here is like this, I have to go, Lord Song wrote that Lord Song is bedridden again, I want to go to see the old man, and then go back to Yulin's hometown, after coming out for so long, it is time to go home." ”

"Brother Yushan, are you going to leave us? Am I having something wrong with you? If you say it, I will change it, you stay! When Li Yu heard Li Huai say that he was leaving, he was so anxious that his eyes were red. He and Li Huai have only been together for two or three months, but he feels that Li Huai is a brother he can trust, and he can even feel that Li Huai has a special love for him.

"Something is going to happen in the northwest, there was a drought last year, but we were lucky to avoid it, there has been no rain since the beginning of spring this year, Yulin, Suide and Yan'an are already redland, this time I can't hide, I have to go back to see," Li Huai's eyes were full of sadness, patted Li Yu's hand and said, "The people in the northwest are bitter!" There are many people and little land, the land is barren, only fifty or sixty catties of millet can be harvested from one acre of land in northern Shaanxi, and the rent and taxes are not enough to eat in normal years, and it is miserable in the event of natural disasters and man-made disasters, Fengzhou is much better than Yulin, three mountains and one water and six fields, and the land is vast and sparsely populated, as long as you manage it well, you just said to me that Hudun Tuhan's envoy came to negotiate peace, this is great, the first fulcrum of Fengzhou's survival has been found, the next fulcrum can only be Daming, I will plan for you after I arrive in Yanghe, your strength is too weak, If you want to survive, you must find an opportunity between the Ming and the Han, but you have to remember that the Han is just a group of tired people, the tiger and the rabbit are talented and cowardly, and the defeat is only a matter of time, the Ming is the fundamental, at all times you must hold on to the Ming Dynasty, and you must not openly confront the Ming Dynasty, this victory fortress is just a projectile land, and you should abandon it. ”

"I understand, Da Ming is fundamental, and you must not fight against Da Ming," Li Yu nodded, and then said sadly, "Brother Yushan, will you come back?" ”

"Yes, I will come back, because you are my brother," Li Huai hesitated for a moment, replied firmly, he took Li Yu's hand and sat down, and said slowly, "There is something I wanted to tell you a long time ago, do you remember the first time we met under Baishan Mountain?" You must wonder why I ask you so many things, and I have to pull your collar to look at the back of your neck, don't laugh, I have a younger brother named Li Yu, who looks almost the same as you, and has the same age, and there is a black mole on the back of the neck, you don't believe it, I ask you, have you ever been to Yulin? You've never been there, why do you sometimes pop up with a few Yulin accents when you talk to me? ”

Li Yu was stunned, he remembered that when he was in Yizhou, Hu Dawei also said that he would bring out the Yulin accent when he spoke, but he really hadn't been to Yulin, and he couldn't even figure out where Yulin was, he shook his head suspiciously, Li Huai stared at his eyes and said word by word: "Because you are from Yulin, like me, the son of Li Biao, a guerrilla guerrilla who died with Marshal Juniper in Salhu, Liaodong, did you hear clearly?" You are the son of Li Biao, a fierce general in Yulin. ”

Li Yu was stunned, his face was pale and his head was in a cold sweat, he could barely sit still, did he find the life experience he was looking for so unexpectedly? He shook his head vigorously in disbelief, tears couldn't help but burst out of his eyes, Li Huai hugged his shoulders, and cried loudly: "You are my brother, my own brother, mother!" Did you see it in the spirit of heaven, I found your favorite little elm, and I will take him home to see you. ”

Outside the door, Mo Zhige and Meng Ke immediately rushed in when they heard the cry, they were stunned by the scene in front of them, Li Huai and Li Yu hugged each other and cried bitterly, Mo Zhige looked at it for a while, pulled Meng Ke out of the door, and quietly closed the door again.

Li Huai cried for a while, wiped his tears and said: "Yuzi, do you still remember the jujube tree in our yard, every year when the jujube is ripe, you sit on our big shoulders and beat jujubes, do you remember the day you left, our mother made you red dates and small rice, you broke your brain in the war, you can't remember, the second brother will tell you all about our family." ”

Li Yu seemed to be in a dream, listening to Li Huai tell the past of the Li family: the Li family was originally from Nanzhili, and was issued to Yulin as a military household during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, Li Huai's father Li Biao was accepted as a personal soldier by Du Tong Marshal because of his bravery when he was young, and since then the Li family has followed the Du family to fight in the south and the north, and the Du family has two generations of three marshals, and is a famous general in the Ming Dynasty, Li Biao has followed Du Tong, Du Wenhuan and his son to fight in the northwest, and became the Du family's henchman, from a soldier to a guerrilla, Du Tong's brother Du Songfeng was transferred to Liaodong to suppress the thieves in Jianzhou, Li Biao was selected by Juniper as a guerrilla and was killed in Salhu with Juniper. Li Biao's eldest son Li Yang served under Du Wenhuan, the son of Du Tong, and the official went to the town standard division, with Du Wenhuan into Sichuan to suppress the water thief luxury Chongming, the second year of the Apocalypse was killed in the capture of Chongqing Futu Pass, Li Biao's second son is Li Huai, the Du family believes that the children of the Li family can not all join the army, when the Li family boss Li Yang joined the army, the smart and studious Li Huai was admitted to the Du Mansion to study with the children of the Du family, the Du family hopes that the Li family who is loyal to follow their own family can have someone to glorify their ancestors in the imperial examination, Li Biao's third son Li Yu learned to bow and horse since childhood, and the Ming army Guangning was defeated in the second year of the Apocalypse, The imperial court recruited western soldiers to defend Liaodong, Li Yu and a group of Yulin villagers embarked on a long journey to Liaodong in the east, Li Yu never returned, and some fellow villagers came back to say that Yuzi and several Yulin soldiers were ordered to go to Guangning to investigate the enemy's situation, but none of them returned.

Li Yu was skeptical, he firmly believed that Li Huai would never lie to him, but if he disappeared in Guangning, how could he run to Zhenbei Pass, which was thousands of miles away.

"This is what I have never figured out, so I have never dared to recognize you, maybe you were scattered, fled to the territory of the Mongols, and then moved to Zhenbeiguan in the north of Kaiyuan, no one can say what happened in the middle," Li Huai shook his head and continued, "I'm leaving, I don't know when I can see you again in the future, since God has given me the opportunity to find my brother, I can't deny you." ”

"Is life good at Yulin's family?" After listening to Li Huai's story, Li Yu asked in a low voice.
