Chapter 223: The Grassland Hero
Hundreds of people gathered around a middle-aged man galloping over, the snow on the ground reflected the cold shining iron clothes, and the compact formation revealed the calmness and calmness of being in a hundred battles. The middle-aged man in the center raised his left hand, and the entire cavalry team was like one, instantly frozen.
That man is the first!
He is also nearly forty years old, with a strong body, and a faint tiger and wolf between his eyebrows.
Zhu Qiming met him unexpectedly at the border of Datong back then, and he didn't talk to him at that time, but there was a long staring between the two sides, and after that gaze, the appearance of this grassland hero was deeply engraved in Zhu Qiming's mind.
At present, he only led 300 horsemen and horses to the side of the Langpu River, obviously wanting to "greet", rather than coming to Xingshi to ask for guilt, but the two sides had to stare at each other again.
Suddenly, he first raised his head to the sky and roared, and then laughed loudly, and the laughter was full of anger, which shook the bad horses on which the people were riding and neighed in a low voice.
"I have heard the name of King Yue for a long time, and I am disrespectful and disrespectful!"
Yexian's Chinese pronunciation is not very standard, but the listener can still understand the meaning he wants to express even after listening and guessing.
I speak Chinese so lamely, I don't know how to learn more from your sister! Oh, by the way, what about Saihan? Zhu Qiming muttered to himself, and couldn't help but think of Saihan, his eyes searched repeatedly in the other party's camp, but he couldn't find Saihan's red clothes, nor did he find the figure of the man in the cloak.
Seeing that Zhu Qiming hadn't spoken for a long time, he was a little surprised, stared at Zhu Qiming for a few moments, and then smiled: "King Yue hasn't married a concubine yet, most of them are waiting anxiously, thinking about the woman he likes, right?" ”
Miss your sister! Zhu Qiming took advantage of it in his heart, but he felt even worse, but the entertainment on his lips was still inevitable.
"The name of the Taishi is shocking the north of the desert, and he has admired it for a long time!"
also raised his neck with satisfaction first, "The horse doesn't know the way, he strayed into the realm of Wuliangha, accidentally approached Liaodong, and was tired of the prince of Yue to greet him, so I really didn't want to go!" ”
Zhu Qiming smiled back, "What do you say that the boundary is not the territory, the Taishi is located in the north of the desert, crisscrossing thousands of miles, in the eyes of Your Excellency, it is naturally unbounded." ”
He was also slightly stunned, and the chill in his eyes flashed, "Warat and Daming have reconciled, and the envoys and business travelers on both sides are endless, and the king of Yue only waits for me to be the Warat mission." ”
"Oh, it turns out that Taishi wants to make a pilgrimage to the Ming Emperor. Then you have to leave the army behind, go south to the imperial capital, and don't forget to keep the festival and cultivate the book. ”
The word "Hajj" is also unacceptable, and the word "imperial capital" sounds so harsh, I saw his face sink, "For decades, the Ming Dynasty has been blessed with good luck and has been regarded as the kingdom of heaven by all nations." However, now Warat also has this honor, it is really 'time and fate', and the world is impermanent! ”
The two sides don't want to fight each other, so they replace it with verbal and sword fighting, such strange scenes often appear on the border line, Zhu Qiming has long been well versed in this, and at this moment, he also made a provocation first, how could he ignore it and damage the national dignity?
"Daming Xingdao, Ze is admired by the four seas, and all nations are admired to become the co-master of the world, which is the destiny of heaven, and has nothing to do with luck."
also snorted coldly and said, "I don't dare to agree!" In the past, the northern Golden Horde was very prosperous, and its Great Khan was of the same origin as the ancestors of my Warat. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and Yuan Huizong sent an envoy to the Golden Ledger to ask for help, but unfortunately the envoy was nowhere to be found, otherwise, it is really difficult to say who is in charge of the Central Plains now. ”
"Yuan lost his deer, and he has long been unable to return to the sky, how can the golden account be saved? The funny thing is that the Yuan is not dead, but the golden account has collapsed, allowing the Rus principality to take the opportunity to rise. "In the past four years, Zhu Qiming has had a lot of contacts with envoys and businessmen from the Western Regions, and he has seen and heard a lot, and these experiences are just used in the verbal battle at this time.
Zhu Qiming's Rus is today's Russia, "Rus" is the official standard name of the East Slavic Kievan Rus' in the Ming Dynasty, and later generations called "Russia", obviously referring to the pronunciation characteristics of the Mongolian language, in which "Russian" is a habitual vowel when referring to the Mongolian language.
Ye Xian's face became more and more ugly, and his mouth was still unrelenting: "In the past, the Timurid Khanate was dominant in the west, and Timur Khan was of the same origin as the ancestors of my Warats. In the second year of Yongle, Timur Khan personally led a million-strong army to the east to conquer the Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately died of illness on the way, and the success was lost, otherwise, the Central Plains was only afraid that the country would change hands! ”
"If you go against the sky, you will be damned! Timur died and the country was destroyed, and laughing for the people of the world was a dream of Nanke after all. ”
Ye Xian's face was gloomy, and his eyes became aggressive, "I have heard that King Yue is good at fighting, but unfortunately we missed it three years ago, and since we were able to meet today, how can we have any regrets?" Someone came, passed on the order of the Taishi, ordered 30,000 sharp horses, stepped into the territory of Liaodong, and chatted with the king of Daming Yue to play. ”
Bo play? This is undoubtedly a tactful threat, the two sides are arrayed against each other, it is by no means as simple as just playing a game, once the gun is misfired, the consequences are extremely serious!
The other party can easily order 30,000 elite soldiers, while his own side only has more than 3,000 people, plus the people of Changsheng Fort, the total strength will not exceed 4,000 people, how can this be "playful"? Of course, Ouyang Tong and Feng Duo heard the meaning of Ye Xian's words, and immediately glanced at each other, and a thick melancholy appeared between their eyebrows. Leng Wuya on the side turned his head to look back at the direction of Changsheng Castle, his eyes full of uneasiness.
Only Pang Zhe calmly fixed on the horse's back, his eyes closed, as if admiring the sound of the wind and spring in the quiet stream.
That's what I'm waiting for! Zhu Qiming was secretly happy when he heard this, thinking that he could retreat from the enemy by shaking his lips and tongue, and avoid a disaster that the people of Liaodong were about to face.
"Oh, Taishi, it's really not a coincidence, North Korea claims that a strange beast is about to sneak into Liaodong, maybe it will run to the Yalu River, Liaodong's 100,000 army is idle and bored all year round, and it smells that there is such a strange thing in the world, how can you still sit still? No, the Liaodong army has laid a net everywhere, and invited this king to participate in this grand field hunt, this king doesn't want to miss this grand event! Of course, it's okay for the Taishi to come and watch, just change clothes, hike, and don't hold weapons, oh, don't be careful, this move is just to avoid misunderstandings. ”
Misunderstand? There was a Tartar thief who could understand Chinese when he heard this, and he was furious for a while. Although our clothing and etiquette are very different from those of Middle-earth, we always have a human shape, how can there be misunderstandings? Did King Yue say that he would treat us as beasts······
Outrageous!
He was not angry, he stared and thought, carefully interpreting the meaning of Zhu Qiming's words. Although Zhu Qiming's words were sarcastic, his words revealed bits and pieces of information, which involved the trilateral interaction between the Ming Dynasty, North Korea, and Warat, and touched the treacherous situation in the north!
A generation of heroes is not a reckless man, and he first knows how to advance and retreat freely in the harsh environment of struggle, and how to grasp the balance and timing. At this moment, he had to judge clearly whether the king of Yue really understood his intention to cross the border into Korea, and whether this intention was known to the Liaodong army.
The result of the interpretation made him slightly disappointed, it was obvious that Zhu Qiming had insight into his intentions! Such an insight in itself is doubly shocking, and it doesn't matter whether the 100,000 Liaodong army is really planning a grand "field hunt"!
is also unwilling in his heart, if the other party is just an officer in Liaodong, he can take the opportunity to bully him, anyway, he will not admit it afterwards, and Daming will be helpless. It's a pity that the other party is a dignified prince, and behind this prince, there are still 100,000 Liaodong troops.
Let's just let North Korea go, endure the anger of the moment, and seek the long-term! So, I waved my hand vigorously first.
"Farewell!"
"Master walks slowly."
also led the crowd to leave first, and Wang Lie rolled his eyes for a long time, "Eh, Your Highness, you haven't enjoyed the verbal battle yet, why did you admit it so quickly?" ”
Pang Zhe smiled heartily, "The verbal battle is not easy to fight!" Words are beady, and the soldiers who surrender without a fight are not something ordinary people can do. will also lead the troops to leave, and the people of Liaodong will be safe! ”
······
After days of heavy snowfall, Zhu Qiming left his accompanying guards and crossed the Langpu River with Ma Hu and entered the Liaohe Hetao area.
There was no longer a single Uliang thief nearby. As can be seen from the large area of ice and the withered grass outcropping in the high places, it was originally a swamp land, and in the summer there must be abundant water and grass, when the Uliangha people who lived in pursuit of water and grass may have migrated here to graze, but in the harsh winter, the ice is not a habitable place.
Sloppily chiseled open the ice, there was only a small shallow puddle at the bottom, and the water was two feet high from the ice, and he picked up his net and fished the silver carp and carp that had nowhere to escape, and his face was full of joy to share the harvest.
"General, you are a big hero, why are you still digging ice and catching fish with the kid?"
Zhu Qiming sat near the ice cave, looking at the shallow water below, "Ben······ I may live in Liaodong for a long time, and when the world is too peaceful one day, I will take off my uniform, fish in summer, and catch fish in winter, which can add a lot of fun. ”
Ma Huo didn't seem to understand, and grinned, "General, you teach the kid to practice martial arts, and the kid teaches you to catch fish, how about it?" ”
Do you still need to be taught to catch fish? Zhu Qiming tilted his head to consider whether this transaction was worth it, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a red shadow flashing on his side, and suddenly turned his head to look, his eyes touched the charm on Saihan's face, but her outstretched hands exposed the viciousness of the sneak attack on the golden mask.
He hurriedly dodged, "snorted", and slid along the ice surface into the distance at great speed.
The experience of skating on the ice for the first time was extremely uncomfortable for him, not to mention that it was certainly indecent to skate on both knees. He quickly pulled out his short knife and thrust it hard into the ice, and suddenly, his body was stunned and stopped there.
Several cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the ice, followed by a "click" sound.
Zhu Qiming pulled out the short knife, rolled backwards, and after getting up, he looked at Fang Cai's foothold, and saw that a large area of ice shattered and fell, forming a large ice hole.
The next moment, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
Fish, the bottom of the water is shallow, countless large fish are frozen into ice cubes, and the fish array seems to have no end in sight, if the naked eye can see through the ice.
Ma Hu chased after him with concern, followed Zhu Qiming's gaze, and his eyes immediately showed brilliance.
"Wow, the general has made a fortune!"
