After walking out of the golden horde, he breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, it seems that this Batumunk still doesn't trust himself very much!

The temptation that seemed to be unintentional but was actually intentional, the suspicious gaze of Batumunk, and the way he thought he was bringing people in and out seamlessly, did not escape Batumunk's eyes. All this proves that Batumunch does not fully believe in himself.

After coming out of the slightly crowded earthen city, the cramped atmosphere finally decreased a little, and he returned to his small but very remote camp, and coughed outside, and waited until there was a dull sound of wood knocking inside, and then opened the tent and went in.

"Last." Kneeling on one knee, he said a word, and the words behind were stopped by the serious-faced young man inside.

The young man stretched out his hand and pointed around, meaning that the partition wall had ears.

After a while, he raised his head, stood up, and said, "I'll find you a position when you go back, don't stay in my account all day long." Is your friend reliable? The Great Khan treats me badly, don't bring the wolf in as a teacher. ”

The young man said: "Master, don't worry, this person is reckless, but he is of the same mind as his disciples, and he is also a person who was persecuted by those officials of the Ming Kingdom." ”

While the two were talking, they were writing paper with charcoal.

The young man was dressed in black, his eyes were shining, his ears were pricked up, and he was always listening to the movement outside.

After a while, the young man was in the morning? Sun nodded: "Okay, the person is gone, there should be nothing wrong." ”

Only then did he put down the charcoal pen and knelt down on one knee again: "The last general, Ma Jinzhong, see the commander." ”

Zhang Ru, who secretly left the army and entered the camp of the Tatar army, was not bold, except for Fan Tong and Jiang Wei, who were closest to him, no one else knew.

Jinyiwei, who is good at disguise, carefully concocted a fake Zhang Ru to sit in the army, with 3,000 people to wander around like fools, and directly killed a small group of Tatar cavalry scouts, and fled directly when encountering a large group of cavalry.

A group of old soldiers were very aggrieved in their hearts, but no one had the weight to say anything to Zhang Ru, everyone was holding back the fire in their stomachs, wanting to see what this nine-sided governor was doing.

Fortunately, they didn't know that Zhang Ru was an impostor, otherwise they were afraid that Zhang Ru would have to drown three thousand old soldiers with spittle stars after he went back.

This way of making a dangerous move will be called ? Ma Jinzhong was scared enough, but since Zhang Ru came with Fan Tong, it was not so simple to let him leave.

As a last resort, Zhang Ru pretended to be his apprentice to enter the Tatar army camp, which did not escape Batu Munk's eyes. Fortunately, the invincible Tatar Khan's own ass was not very clean, on the one hand, he had to deal with the Mongol tribal commanders who were not convinced by his appearance, and on the other hand, he had to guard against the relatively weak but outnumbered Ming army. Needing to rely on Ma Jinzhong, the Great Khan did not delve into the origin of this young man.

If it weren't for Zhang Ru's cautious actions, he was afraid that after Ma Jinzhong came back, the last general would make them show their whereabouts.

"How's it going?" After Zhang Ru pulled Ma Jinzhong to sit down, he tapped his fingers on the table and asked.

Since Ma Jinzhong, who is known as Ma San, has lost the temperament of the Ming border army since he accepted the secret mission, he told the situation on his Tatar side in a decent manner.

The commander also saw that Batu Munch wanted to use his subordinates, but he didn't dare to use his subordinates, because his subordinates were Ming people after all. Now that he was too busy to take care of himself, the 300,000 Tatar army looked menacing, but in fact it was an embroidered pillow.

A plague in the summer has reduced the cattle and sheep on the steppe by more than half, and if there are no troops to plunder, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Tatars to survive this winter.

These soldiers who were able to fight on the battlefield were a great rule, and killing all the remaining cattle and sheep in the steppe could only make three million Tatars barely survive the winter.

But they didn't dare to do this kind of dry and fishing, so after an assassination and was barely saved by his subordinates, he led the army to attack Ming, with only one purpose.

Let the border army of the Ming Dynasty kill some grassland iron cavalry who do not obey orders for him, so that he can save a large amount of rations, and then take some grain from the Ming Dynasty and go back.

As long as he gets through this difficult time, it won't be long before Tatar recovers. Ma Jinzhong told Zhang Ru everything he knew, and when he spoke, he would tilt his head and think from time to time, for fear that he would miss something.

Zhang Ru's frowning brows relaxed: "Didn't I ask you to go to Jianyu's side, why did you come to Tatar's side?" What is the intersection between the Tatars and the Jianyu? ”

Ma Jinzhong shook his head and said: "Although he is from Jianzhou, he is just an inferior person. To integrate into the high-level circle of Jianyu, even if there is a husband who used to be a general in the Ming Border Army, it is not so easy.

Jianyu is xenophobic, and he can accept his family and young son, but he can't accept me as an outsider.

I originally wanted to find a job in Jianzhou temporarily, but after half a month, no one was willing to give the last general a chance. Everything is because the last general is a Ming man.

Jianyu has an inexplicable hatred for people from the Ming Dynasty, whether they are business travelers or ordinary people, but there are many soft-boned scholars who have run to Jianyu's territory, and there are not many people who can really stay and do things for Jianyu.

Thinking that he had not completed the things assigned by the commander, he could not just come back and make a mission, and the ghost sent the gods to the grassland, although these grassland people were extremely arrogant when they plundered, but some ordinary herdsmen were very friendly. As long as you don't come with malice, they'll entertain you with the best mare's milk.

Of course, if you come with malice, they will use the most powerful horned bows and arrows against you.

Disturbed in a herdsman's house for nearly a month, during which time he almost thought of himself as a Tatar.

On the so-called Dayan Khan Batu Munk, I was attacked by 300 men near the herdsman's horse farm, and at the last moment, I saved the life of the Tatar supreme leader with a stone bow in my hand.

The old boy knew very well about Entubao, and not only expanded the herdsman's horse farm, but also made the young man with whom the herdsman had a good relationship with me a centurion.

After that, I never left the Golden Horde, and stayed by Batumunk's side all the time, helping him do some unseemly things. ”

Speaking of the past, Ma Jinzhong's face was full of bitterness, and any of the people of the Ming Dynasty would not think of leaving their hometown to live elsewhere. Even if the life here is better than in the hometown, even if the status here is higher than in the hometown.

The golden nest and the silver nest are still not as good as the kennel at home after all.

Drinking hometown water and eating hometown food, as long as you can wear coarse cloth clothes, it is a satisfying thing. However, when he arrived on the grassland, even if he was wearing silk and satin, which only nobles could afford, those days were very boring.

Zhang Ru patted him on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work." Your eldest son, now in Liaodong, he is fine. ”

An alternative kind of overture is a commander's overture of the chess pieces he personally gave away.

Ma Jinzhong showed a rare smile, although there was still a little bitterness in that smile, but this was already commendable.

Nodding vigorously, he seemed to always be convinced of this matter: "What the commander promised will definitely be done, which Ma Jinzhong can still trust." ”

"He's still young, I'm still young, it's inconvenient to take it with me, when he's older, I'll take it with me personally." Zhang Ru added a sentence with a lot of words.

Since returning from Liaodong, one thing after another has followed, and he has no time to care about the nominal apprentice.

But no matter what, it doesn't mean that he has forgotten that the child is his disciple.

The things that Zhang Ru promised will always be remembered in his heart.

"The Governor is here this time, but what's the matter?" Ma Jinzhong took the initiative to ask.

Zhang Ru nodded and said, "There is a very important matter, and you must not interfere in this matter." ”

"Why?" It stands to reason that if there is something important, Ma Jinzhong, who knows more about the Tatars than anyone else, is undoubtedly the best helper.

Zhang Ru touched his nose, and his gaze became long-term and profound: "The 1.8 million border troops of the Ming Dynasty can really pull out to fight the Tatars, less than 200,000. Among them, Datong Town and Liaodong Town occupy a small half. In this battle, the Tatars can fight, but the Ming can't really fight.

Since he Batu Munk hit Da Ming's wishful thinking, then I will let him reap the consequences. In the internal disputes of Tatars, there should not be the participation of the Ming Dynasty, at least, there should be no participation of the Ming border army. ”

Ma Jinzhong's face was solemn: "Protecting the family and defending the country is the duty of a soldier." ”

Zhang Ru nodded and said: "I know that riding horses and whips and shrouding horses and leather corpses have always been the wish of frontier soldiers. But the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty can die, but they must die on the way to attack. I can't tolerate Batu Munch letting thousands of hot-blooded sons of Daming be buried with him for his own selfishness. ”

Ma Jinzhong's face became solemn, he already understood the purpose of Zhang Ru's trip.

But he couldn't imagine where the young governor of the Nine Sides had the courage and self-confidence, and what means he would have to induce Batumunk's men to start infighting.

Fortunately, he was still a smart man, so he didn't ask.

Even if he asked, Zhang Ru might not answer, after all, the fewer people who knew about this kind of plan, the better.

"Help me arrange a position tomorrow, you don't have to worry about other things, wait until the Tatars attack the city." After Zhang Ru gave a command, he closed his eyes and began to close his eyes to recuperate.

A plan had already taken shape in his mind, and now it was up to him to slowly refine it.

Fan Tong stared at Ma Jinzhong like a goshawk, making him uncomfortable, and after a few glances, Ma Jinzhong, who felt his scalp tingle, simply walked out of his camp tent, and hurriedly ran to ask the familiar officer if there was a position for the titular nephew to take on temporarily.
