Just after Tang Jiuzhou and Li Wanqing revealed their identities to Cao Wenzhao's department, Niu Juming also rode over on horseback. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After roughly understanding the situation, Niu Juming signaled to Cao Wenzhao to speak privately.

The two of them came to a hundred paces away, looking back at the crowd kneeling on the ground, and the fire-like Horqin old camp not far away.

Cao Wenzhao said: "Lord Niu has something to say, please say it clearly!"

Niu Juming said: "There are more than 1,000 herdsmen here, and they must be as deep as the sea with Horqin, and I have just learned that there are still 3,000 old and weak women and children in the camp here, and there are countless horses and sheep near Baiyintao. If we want to bring these captives back, this group of herdsmen in Horqin in front of me can be of good use to me. I don't know what the general thinks? ”

When Cao Wenzhao heard this, he suddenly laughed and said, "Lord Niu is worthy of being the military aircraft handpicked by the Holy Lord today!" My lord's words are exactly what Cao wants! ”

After saying this, Cao Wenzhao was about to leave.

At this time, I suddenly heard Niu Juming say: "General Cao, don't panic! This Tang Kyushu and Li Wanqing are not yet gullible! ”

Cao Wenzhao turned around when he heard this, and said puzzledly: "What does Lord Niu mean by this? ”

Niu Juming smiled and said, "Come with me!" ”

The two of them returned to Tang Jiuzhou and Li Wanqing, and then Niu Juming opened his mouth and said: "Tang Jiuzhou, just now you said that you have something to say, I don't know what you want to say?" ”

Although Tang Jiuzhou didn't know what the identity of the person in front of him was, he knew that this person could definitely decide his fate, so he kowtowed and said: "If you go back to the adult, the little one wants to say that Horqin is not a camp here, along this Baiyin set to the north, there is a slightly smaller camp, which is where the concubine of Horqin Taiji Zhaisang lives, and now Zhaisang's wife and daughter are there. At this time, there should be no Mongolian young people stationed in it, and if you wave your army to go, you will definitely be able to capture them in one fell swoop! In this way, it is considered to have achieved full success! ”

After Tang Jiuzhou finished speaking, Li Wanqing suddenly continued: "The little one once saw the daughter of Zhaisang, and it is never an exaggeration to say that it is the best in the world. His youngest daughter is said to be married to Huang Taiji, the chief of the current Jiannu Slave, and her eldest daughter is more beautiful than her younger daughter. If the general captures Zhaisang's wife and daughter, first, the general and others can ensure a complete victory, and second, they will be taken hostage, and they may be able to coerce Jianyu in the future. ”

After listening to the words of Tang Jiuzhou and Li Wanqing, Niu Juming suddenly asked, "Does this woman have a name?" ”

Tang Jiuzhou and Li Wanqing glanced at each other and said, "This woman's name is Hari Zhula!" ”

Hearing this, Niu Juming nodded, then looked at the two of them intriguingly and said, "Are the two strong men willing to return to the Ming Dynasty and continue to serve my Ming Dynasty and use them for my Ming court?" ”

When Tang Jiuzhou and Li Wanqing heard this, they immediately said, "Of course the little one is willing." The small one was originally a Han person, but he was plundered here, and he didn't want to return to the Ming Dynasty all the time over the years. If the general is willing to take him in, the small one will be broken to pieces, and he will repay the kindness of the adult! ”

After Tang Jiuzhou and Li Wanqing said this, the Han herdsmen who were kneeling not far behind them suddenly became excited, and they kowtowed and said, "The little ones are also willing to return to the Ming Dynasty, please take them in with the general!" ”

Niu Juming pressed his hand against the crowd that was a little commotion for a while, waited for the crowd to calm down, and then said: "Of course I know your mood!" No matter how you came here before, now that you have met it, as long as you are willing to serve the Ming Dynasty loyally, of course, there is no reason not to bring the Ming back. Are you willing to serve the Ming Dynasty with all your loyalty?! ”

Hundreds of Han herdsmen led by Tang Jiuzhou and Li Wanqing said in unison: "Yes!" As long as we can return to the Ming Dynasty, we are willing to go to the soup for the general! ”

Seeing this, Niu Juming beckoned to Tang Jiuzhou, motioned for him to come closer, and then said: "Tang Jiuzhou, you go and ask those Tartar-born herdsmen if they are willing to be used by my Ming Dynasty, if they are willing, you and Li Wanqing can be incorporated into their team!" ”

Tang Jiuzhou was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately walked over, and soon brought over a stout man with circle-legged legs and a red face.

Tang Jiuzhou said to Cao Wenzhao and Niu Juming: "This person's name is Bagen, a Chahar person, and he is the leader of that group of Tartar herding slaves. ”

Cao Wenzhao immediately asked, "Bagen, are you willing to work for us?" ”

Tang Jiuzhou translated this, and the man named Bagen muttered excitedly when he heard this.

Tang Jiuzhou said: "Back to the words of the adults, Bagen said that as long as they get rid of their status as shepherd slaves, they are willing to do anything for General Daming. ”

Cao Wenzhao heard this and said: "That's the best! In this case, more than 1,000 of you are temporarily mixed into a battalion, with Tang Jiuzhou as the battalion officer, Bagen and Li Wanqing as the deputy battalion officers, and follow our army to conquer Horqin! Would you three be willing?! ”

Tang Jiuzhou, Li Wanqing, and Chahar Bagen immediately knelt on the ground and clenched their fists, and they all said: "We are willing to die!" ”

At this time, I only heard Niu Juming say: "Since you say that you are willing to die, now is an opportunity!" If you can slaughter all the old and weak women and children in this camp and show your loyalty and submission, then from now on, the three of you and your subordinates will be the border town soldiers that my Ming can rely on! Would you like to?! ”

Having said that, Niu Juming and Cao Wenzhao all looked at the three people kneeling under the horse with burning eyes.

Tang Jiuzhou and Li Wanqing glanced at each other, and then muttered to Bagen, and then said: "Horqin kidnapped us as slaves, it is our enemy who cannot share the sky, revenge is our lifelong wish, dare not obey orders!" ”

What happened next was a matter of course.

Cao Wenzhao, who was already a little taboo about slaughtering the old and weak women and children and the people of Horqin, completely let go of the fortress in his heart at this time, and soon distributed the swords, shields, bows and arrows collected after killing the old and weak remnants of Horqin, as well as the surplus weapons of the self-army, to the herdsmen of Tang Jiuzhou and Bagen's department, and quickly armed them.

And when these people heard that what they needed to do was not to charge into battle, but to go to the Horqin camp, which had been burned for a long time, to find the defenseless old and weak women and children of Horqin to take revenge.

Soon, these people, under the leadership of Tang Jiuzhou and Bagen, rushed to the Horqin camp that was still burning.

And Li Wanqing, who was sick, stayed in front of him to listen to the order under Niu Juming's instructions.

It was only at this time that Niu Juming said to Cao Wenzhao: "What Tang Jiuzhou and Li Wanqing said before about Zhaisang's wife and daughter, I think it is very reasonable. If the daughter of Zhaisang is really the best in the world, we will leave it or kill it, it will be a tyrannical thing.

"And this woman's own sister is the concubine of the chief of Jiannu, and I am afraid that ordinary people can match. Niu Mouwei was on duty in the Wuying Palace, and knew that there was a lack of people in the holy harem today, only one queen and two concubines. Since I have this opportunity today, I can't wait to dedicate this woman to my great tomorrow! I don't know what the general wants? ”

Having said this, what else can Cao Wenzhao do, of course, he immediately agreed.

At that moment, Cao Wenzhao ordered his right battalion to guerrilla Li Guoqi, continue to stay in the south to block the way of the Horqin people, and he took the Chinese army's capital Zhang Xiushen and his personal guards, as well as Wu Liji and Li Wanqing, to run to the west hill guarded by Cao Bianjiao.
