Zhu Di was furious, Xiao Fan was not surprised, although Xiao Fan had done a lot of immoral things in his life, there was no doubt that what he did this time was the most immoral.

However, Xiao Fan didn't expect Zhu Di's reaction to be so fierce.

Didn't you just let you be chased by the Tartars for dozens of miles, we were chased by the Tartars for two days and two nights and didn't say anything, as for being so angry?

These thoughts flashed in Xiao Fan's mind, Zhu Di's movements were very fast, and the waist knife had been slashed a few inches away from the top of Xiao Fan's head, but Xiao Fan's eyes widened, and he didn't react, in fact, Zhu Di suddenly got into trouble, and the time was very short, and he couldn't allow him to react at all.

Zhu Di's eyes were red, and the snowy blade was getting closer and closer to the top of Xiao Fan's head, what the emperor's order was bad, what little intolerable plots, all fuck it! Zhu Di is now only thinking about slashing him to death with a knife, so as to let out the evil anger that he plotted against him.

The blade is as fast as lightning, as fast as thunder, and death comes unconsciously.

At the critical moment, only the sound of "Qiang" was heard, and Xiao Fan was full of excitement, and finally reacted, and his face turned pale in an instant.

raised his eyes to look, but saw Cao Yi holding a sword in one hand, blocking in front of Xiao Fan, and stopped Zhu Di's killing knife.

Zhu Di was also taken aback, and when he saw that the person who stopped him was actually his former subordinate, he couldn't help but be furious: "Cao Yi! You eat things inside and outside, you dare to stop this king? ”

Cao Yi said-for-tat: "Lord Wang, Qin Cha patrols the Quartet on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and he is extremely noble, you dare to openly kill Qin Cha in front of tens of thousands of soldiers?" ”

Zhu Di paused for a moment, turned his head to look around, but saw that around the tent, countless Yan soldiers were watching their actions, and their expressions were different.

Zhu Di was shocked, and his furious mood immediately regained his composure.

Killing Xiao Fan in front of so many soldiers at this time is tantamount to openly declaring war on the imperial court.

Although you can't kill Xiao Fan publicly, if you kill it behind your back...... Zhu Di's face changed, he thought about it for a long time, and finally took a deep breath and put the anger in his heart ...... for the time being, but a firm and strong killing intent planted the seeds, and the crazy sprout in his heart grew "Xiao Fan, you ...... Good! Good! Zhu Ditie blushed, glared at Cao Yi fiercely, gritted his teeth, and said.

Cao Yi stood in front of Xiao Fan, fearlessly facing Zhu Di's resentful gaze, sneering a few times at the corner of his mouth, and slowly putting his sword into the sheath.

"Ahh Xiao Fan came back to his senses at this moment and shouted in horror.

Cao Yi and Zhu Di were stunned together.

――This guy is too slow to react, right? The play is over, and now I think of being afraid, how much slower is he beating...... "You shut up this king!" If you shout again, this king will really kill you! Zhu Di shouted angrily.

Xiao Fan immediately shut up, the one who knows the times is Junjie, he feels that he is simply the best among Junjie, this is Zhu Di's territory, it is better to lower his eyebrows and be happy in everything, and if he has some grievances, he might as well wait until he rebels in the future to settle a general account together.

So Xiao Fan quickly adjusted his mentality.

"Father-in-law, are you alright? I was worried about the death of my son-in-law just now......"

Which pot is not opened, and the anger in Zhu Di's heart suddenly rises.

When you were proud, you stabbed me in the back and hurt me, and you pretended to call your father-in-law under the eaves...... What could you be more shameless?

Zhu Di couldn't hold back any longer, jumped up and beckoned Xiao Fan with a flying leg.

Xiao Fan was startled again, and immediately concentrated on his breath, his shoulders shook slightly, and his body turned to the side, avoiding Zhu Di's kick.

Zhu Di was furious, and was about to kick the second time, Cao Yi bullied up, blocked in front of Zhu Di and said in a deep voice: "Lord, please respect yourself!" ”

The three of them made a fuss, which had already attracted countless Yan soldiers to look sideways, Zhu Di was so angry that he stomped his feet and yelled at the onlookers: "Look at what!" Is it good-looking? The main force of the Tartars is coming soon, and they are not going to set up a formation for this king! ”

…………………… The onlookers dispersed, and the three of them entered the tent.

Zhu Di sat down in the position of the coach in the tent first, and he didn't greet Tie Qing with a blue face, and his broad chest couldn't stop rising and falling rapidly.

Xiao Fan also regained his composure at this time, thinking about what he was shouting in front of so many people just now, it was really a bit embarrassing, and his face couldn't help but be a little stupid at this moment.

Zhu Di squinted at Xiao Fan and said coldly: "Lord Xiao, this king lost his temper just now, I hope my lord doesn't mind." ”

Xiao Fan smiled calmly: "The prince is domineering and exposed, and the lower officials were also scared a little out of shape just now, see the laughter." ”

The two of them laughed a few times in unison, and the dull and depressing atmosphere in the tent suddenly eased slightly.

After laughing very unproductively for a while, Zhu Di put away his smile, stared at Xiao Fan tightly, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Xiao, this king wants to ask you, why did you suddenly lead your troops to appear dozens of miles on the left side of Shanhaiguan?" Do you know that because of your rash moves, you almost ruined the king's plan to annihilate the Tartars? I don't know if Lord Xiao has an explanation for this matter? ”

Xiao Fan smiled calmly: "The prince misunderstood the lower officials, at that time the Tartars chased very closely, and I and the soldiers under my command were forced to run around the grassland, but I didn't expect to meet the prince's light horse, as the so-called auspicious people have their own natural appearance, if luck is good, they should not die, this is really gratifying." Speaking of luck...... When I was a child, there was an old man in my village who was very lucky......"

"Alright, alright! This king is not interested in listening to your nonsense! This king asks you, didn't we make an appointment in advance, and you led the Tartars to Shanhaiguan? Why are you leading them astray? And brought them into the ambush of the king, so that one of the king's strange soldiers was exposed in advance, I ask you, what are your intentions? ”

Xiao Fan blinked innocently: "I'm really going to lure them to Shanhaiguan......"

"But you didn't lead them there!"

"That's because the scouts I sent out in advance reported to me that the front of the Shanhai Pass was flat, but I didn't see a single soldier of the prince, if I lead the Tartars to the front of the pass, the city gate in front is closed, and the chasing soldiers are raging, and the three thousand soldiers who follow me will be wiped out, and in desperation, I can only change directions, -- I want to ask the prince, didn't you say that you would meet me in front of the Shanhai Pass? What about the person who answered me? Why not one? I don't know what the prince's intentions are? ”

Zhu Di was stunned, Ne was speechless, and his rugged old face gradually turned red, a little embarrassed.

This is indeed an unexplainable problem, and he has never thought to explain it to Xiao Fan, who is still alive...... Xiao Fan looked at the embarrassed Zhu Di, couldn't help laughing, and said heroically: "I know that the prince must have a last resort, what about me...... The reason why I treated the prince like that on the battlefield, of course, I also have the last resort, you yin me once, I also yin you once, since everyone has so much suffering, it is better to write off this matter, we will not mention it anymore, what does the prince think? ”

Zhu Di hurriedly nodded and smiled: "This is a great goodness, and it even wins my heart." ”

The two of them understood, looked at each other and laughed, and the meaning of the smile was only known to them in their own hearts.

The enemy is the enemy, no matter how bright the smile is, it will never be able to eliminate the old feud that has accumulated for years, and the hostile relationship between the two seems to have been predestined, and no Zen Buddhist scripture in the world can resolve this hatred.

The laughter gradually stopped, Zhu Di looked at Xiao Fan for a long time, and suddenly asked: "You led three thousand soldiers into the grassland, what method did you use to lure the Tartars to Shanhaiguan?" And after a cursory look, it seems that there are no casualties among the three thousand men under your command......"

Xiao Fan smiled proudly: "The prince has good eyesight, and the lower official led three thousand soldiers into the grassland, and when he came back, there were three thousand, not one missing, and he also fulfilled the prince's entrustment." ”

Zhu Di said movingly: "No casualties? This...... How can it be. ”

"Not only did we not suffer a single casualty, but we also killed three Tartars, six thousands, and hundreds of Tartars, burned their camps, and burned their grain and grass......"

Zhu Di was shocked: "These ...... Did you do it without losing a single soldier? ”

"Not bad."

Zhu Di was speechless, he suddenly felt a little more jealous of the court, to be precise, Xiao Fan, he thought that he was just a weak scholar, and he relied on some intrigues to rise to his current high position, but now it seems that his thoughts are wrong, although he always reminds himself not to underestimate him, but it is not until now that Zhu Di realizes that he still underestimates him.

Whether it's on the battlefield or in the court, underestimating the enemy is a heavy price!

This person must never let him return to Jingshi alive! He is a high wall in front of his great cause, covering all his sunshine and future, and if he does not remove it, his great cause will be hopeless.

Zhu Di had a smile on his face, but the murderous intent in his heart became more and more intense.

"Lord Xiao is worthy of being the Son of Heaven, the important ministers of the court are really extraordinary, no wonder the Son of Heaven often relies on you as the left and right arms, this king admires the five bodies to the ground, this king will be sent to the Beijing Imperial Court on the report of success, will be Xiao Lord listed as the first major merit of this battle...... I wonder if Lord Xiao can tell me, how did you make such a miraculous achievement? ”

Zhu Di's eyes were a little urgent, for the first time in his life, he wanted to know more about his enemies, his surname, hobbies, his style of warfare, and everything about him.

Only by understanding the enemy can we touch the enemy's thinking, can we push others with ourselves, and can we take the lead when we meet on the battlefield in the future.

Xiao Fan smiled, looking at Zhu Di's gaze with a slight mockery, as if he had seen through his intentions.

"The prince has been on the battlefield for a long time, and after a hundred battles, the Mongolian Tatars were so frightened that they fled when they heard the name of the prince. Don't make fun of the lower officials. Xiao Fanpi said with a smile.

Zhu Di sneered in his heart, but it was inconvenient to ask any more, he leaned back, and said slowly: "Lord Xiao fought on the battlefield with a weak body, this king admires it very much, I don't know what earth-shattering things Lord Xiao has done in the grassland?" ”

These words seemed to have reached Xiao Fan's heart, Xiao Fan perked up, patted his thigh and said excitedly: "Too much!" Xia Guan found that the war was really interesting, so let's go all the way and grab all the way......"

"Wait! What does it mean to walk all the way and grab all the way? Zhu Di was stunned.

"It's literal, robbing, lord, we robbed a lot of things in the Tartars, robbed the small tribes when we saw them, flashed when we saw the big tribes, and so we got to the Tartar camp all the way ...... the way.

"Grab ...... Robbing ......" Zhu Di's eyes straightened, and he muttered: "...... You are the elite of the Beijing Division, and you actually went to the grassland to rob cattle and sheep with the Tartars......"

Xiao Fan was unhappy: "Look at what you said, the landlord's family has no surplus grain, we only brought ten days of dry food, if we don't rob, what will our three thousand soldiers eat?" ”

"Okay...... Fighting to feed war, the Tartars have done this all the years, what else have you done besides robbery? ”

"We also robbed the tartars of a lot of women......"

Zhu Di's eyes widened again: "Women also robbed?" Can you eat it? ”

Xiao Fan's eyes looked like looking at an idiot: "Women are not snatched to eat, but snatched to use." ”

Zhu Di's brain didn't react, and he said, "How to use it?" ”

Xiao Fan raised his eyebrows, revealing a scratching gaze, and said with a strange smile: "The prince is fierce and fierce, there are many princesses, how to use women, you should have more experience than me, it's not right to pretend to be pure......"

Speaking of this, Xiao Fan couldn't help but sigh secretly, I only slept with your niece until now...... Zhu Di finally suddenly, silent with a cold face.

This bastard, who went to the grassland to rob cattle, sheep and women, seems to be living extremely happily, he now doubts whether his decision to force Xiao Fan to go to the battlefield was wrong, what is this to harm him, obviously he was invited to the grassland for leisure and entertainment...... Brutes!

After a long time, Xiao Fan said slowly: "I have something to tell the prince......

"What?"

"The prince is famous on the grassland, and everyone hates him, and the name of the prince has become a ghost, so cough, the lower officials are not talented, and when they sleep with Tartar women, they are all in the name of the prince, and it is not popular to use condoms these days......"

Zhu Di suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart: "You...... What do you mean......"

"Xiaguan means that if there are many Tartar women who come to the Yan Wangfu in a few years, it is not said that their children are the illegitimate children of the prince, please ask the prince to help take over the ......"

Zhu Di's brain immediately burst out with green tendons: "............"

Before Zhu Di went crazy, Xiao Fan hurriedly laughed: "The lower officials are joking with the prince, whether it is a Han or a Tartar, the wife and daughter of the silver man are beasts after all, how could I do something that is not as good as a pig and a dog......

"It's really funny...... Zhu Di forced out a smile and burst out a few words from between his teeth.

Xiao Fan laughed a few times, suddenly his expression was solemn, and he said with a straight face: "...... But when we robbed, we were indeed under the banner of the prince, and I am not joking, now the Tartars on the grassland call you 'Yan Bandit', and they make up songs to scold you eighteen times a day......"

Zhu Di had a strong urge to draw a knife again: "............"

Outside the tent, the war drums suddenly sounded, and the three people in the tent were in a row, and at this time, a pro-soldier walked into the tent and said: "Lord Wang, the scout has come to report, the main force of 40,000 Tartars is less than 100 miles away from Shanhaiguan, and the leading commander is the ghost of the Qiergis Department." ”

Zhu Di's spirits perked up, his eyes radiated with excitement, and he said in a deep voice: "Herald soldiers, Buhe Wing Array!" In front of the formation, hundreds of Hongwu cannons and horses were deployed, and the two wings extended to the left and right, and the three guards under the command of King Ning were ready to outflank the right wing at any time! ”

A series of military orders were issued, and Zhu Di strode out of the big tent as he spoke, ignoring Xiao Fan and Cao Yi in the tent.

Cao Yi smiled and said, "Did you make your father-in-law angry again?" ”

Xiao Fan smiled bitterly: "I'm just joking with him, others say that the prime minister can support the boat in his belly, I thought that the prince could at least run horses in his belly, who knew he was so stingy......"

"This time, the 40,000 horses of the Tartars, do you think King Yan can clean them all up?"

Xiao Fan shook his head and said: "It is unlikely that it will be completely annihilated, although the king of Yan has set up a crane wing array that is good at outflanking the left and right, but after all, the number of Yan troops is not large, plus the defenders of Shanhaiguan, a total of more than 50,000 people, the king of Yan has lengthened the left and right wings, and its purpose is to surround the Tartars, but the longer the front is stretched, the more scarce the soldiers will be, and the Tartars may suffer heavy losses, but if they are desperate and concentrate their forces to attack one point, the ghost power can still break through." ”

"Listening to King Yan's military order, isn't there still Duoyan Sanwei as an ambush on the right wing?"

"That's not good, there is a flat grassland in front of Shanhaiguan, this kind of terrain is very favorable to the Tartars, with mental calculations or unintentional, it is unlikely that the Tartars will win, but it should still be possible to break through and escape."

Cao Yi sighed: "It's a pity that King Yan swore that he would wipe out all the Tartars, but I'm afraid that this will become an empty sentence." ”

Xiao Fan said with a smile: "It's not completely empty words, this time the Tartars dispatched 50,000 young and strong, if they can eliminate most of them, the Tartars will inevitably be greatly injured, and King Yan can be regarded as achieving other goals." ”

Cao Yileng said: "What other purpose does King Yan have? ”

Xiao Fan said leisurely: "Don't forget the ambition of King Yan, he is ready to wave his army south to rebel, if the Tartars take advantage of him to make trouble around his Beiping Mansion when he goes south, it will inevitably affect the morale of the Yan army, and it will also increase his concerns as the commander, so first, beat the Tartars down, or beat them so that they can be honest for a few years, and then buy time for King Yan to rebel, so that there is no worries, and you can let go and fight with the imperial army......"

Cao Yi suddenly said: "It turns out that he still has such a purpose......

Xiao Fan smiled: "Now you know how dirty the hearts of the big people are, right?" ”

Cao Yi glanced at him and said, "Can you guess that those dirty thoughts in King Yan's heart are not even dirtier than him?" ”

"Nonsense! I often read the ...... of the Tao Te Ching"

"The Yan army is ready to fight the Tartars, what are we going to do? Look at King Yan like that, it seems that he is not ready to let us participate. ”

Xiao Fan smiled lightly: "It's best not to let us participate, who wants to carry their heads on their trouser belts to do this desperate business?" ”

After thinking about it, Xiao Fan pondered: "...... However, I can't say anything about it, I'm still just an earl, and I should go up a liter, otherwise I'm embarrassed to say hello when I go home and see my wife......"

Cao Yi agreed: "The brothers also want to make a military merit and give their wives and sons......

Xiao Fan pondered for a long time, and finally said with a smile: "Since you want to gain fame, you must save your surname, think about it, only the stuffy stick that knocks on the ghost power is the safest, let's lead the troops to set off!" ”

Cao Yi was stunned and said, "Where to go?" ”

"Fifty miles away from the left flank of the Crane Wing Formation."
