Winter turns to spring, and the ice and snow slowly melt.

After the first month, Zhai Zhe stayed in Jizi for a long time, and only went to the old camp in the valley once, and explained the contact matters to Xiao Zhiyan clearly.

It should not be far from the day when the caravan returns to Zhangjiakou, the eight businesses are very busy, but Zhai Zhe is the most leisurely, and he has no chance to meddle in business affairs.

Except for occasionally drinking and chatting with old friends such as Gong Chen, Zhai Zhe only stays at home every day to read books and practice martial arts.

Zhai Zhe is waiting, and many people in the set are waiting. The steppe Tumuts and Chahars, with a total of more than 100,000 troops, have been facing off for half a year, and this year there will be a winner no matter what, and for some, this may be the last chance.

From February onwards, the number of Mongolians who came from all over the steppe gradually increased. Without the Tumuts changing hands, the most remote Mongol tribes also needed to send people to Zhangjiakou to purchase goods.

On this day, on the road out of Zhangjiakou, eight knights straddled the sword, carried a bow, and the quiver was full of arrows.

Zhai Zhe is among them, and his big dark horse is also eye-catching in the crowd.

Gong Chen walked in the front, stretched his waist on his horse, and said, "One winter, the bones of my body are like rust. ”

A man next to him interjected, saying, "Old bow, you haven't even forgotten how to shoot a bow and arrow!" ”

"You fart, look how I win you today!"

Another person said: "Don't make any noise, if Xiao Zhiyan is here, you people will give it for nothing." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Zhai Zhe.

Five of these people are the border soldiers of Zhangjiakou Fort, and two are the guards led by Zhai Zhe, everyone is very familiar with each other on weekdays, and today it is Gong Chenti who made an appointment to go hunting in the grassland together.

Hearing this, Gong Chen seemed to suddenly remember something, slowed down his horse, landed beside Zhai Zhe, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Xiao, where have you been, I haven't seen him for a long time." ”

There are some things that Zhai Zhe can't reveal to Gong Chen, saying: "He has already left the Zhai family, maybe it's out of the jam!" ”

"Are you going to be a horse thief?" Gong Chen shook his head, and he didn't believe it after speaking.

There is no snow on the Zhangba grassland, and the cold air outside the plug enters the lungs, which is exceptionally fresh. The group left Zhangjiakou and turned to the east, and to the west was the assembly place of the Chahar army, and they didn't want to ask for trouble.

Zhai Zhe urged the big black horse to gallop to the top of a grassy slope in the direction of Zhangba grassland, so that the horse could also stretch his muscles. Suddenly, he seemed to see a dark shadow moving on the horizon in the distance.

"Mongols, Mongols!" Zhai Zhe pointed into the distance and shouted back to his companions.

What's so strange about the Mongols, it's worth shouting so much when you see the Mongols in the steppe! The other seven men followed him and rushed forward.

"The army of Chahar!" Looking in the direction pointed by Zhai Zhe, Gong Chen's face changed, and a cavalry under black pressure on the horizon in the distance was moving silently.

"At least three thousand! Don't know where they're going? ”

When the Chahar people moved westward to fight the Tumuts in the Zhangba grassland, the border army of Xuanda Town of the Ming Dynasty was also very nervous, and even the merchants in Zhangjiakou retreated to the Great Wall at that time. However, Lin Dan Khan did not send a single soldier to Zhangjiakou, and he kept in touch with the governor of Daming Jiliao in the Duoyan grassland, and slowly Xuanda Town relaxed its vigilance. When the Tumuts asked for help from the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court also sent mediation envoys.

Gong Chen looked at it carefully for a moment and said, "Judging from the direction of the march, it should be towards Zhangjiakou!" We have to report back right away! ”

The eight immediately turned their horses around and galloped towards the market town.

Gong Chen and the other five went directly to the direction of Zhangjiakou Fort. Zhai Zhe was restless after returning to the set, straight \u6

3a5 went up to the second floor of a restaurant and asked for a pot of wine.

Pedestrians were rushing through the streets, and no one knew the danger that was coming.

For about half an hour, I only heard the rumbling of iron hooves in the direction of the entrance, and the sound was like muffled thunder from far and near.

"It's really coming towards Zhangjiakou!"

Zhai Zhe hurriedly went downstairs, and when he reached the staircase, he heard someone shouting: "The Chahar people are here!" "In the set, people swarmed through the streets from north to south.

"The Mongols are coming!" Cries were heard in all directions.

Zhai Zhe jumped to the door of the restaurant and saw that the street was full of crowded people, running and shouting. Frightened mules and horses were mixed in and slammed around.

There are still more than thirty miles away from Xuanzhen, and Zhai Zhe knows that if the Chahar cavalry comes, no one in this set will be able to escape. When I arrived in Xuanzhen, I couldn't enter the fortress, and I didn't know that I became the target of the Chahar cavalry, so I simply moved a chair and sat down.

The Chahar cavalry was staggering, and two columns of cavalry galloped across both sides of the market town, completely encircling the place. Only about 20 horsemen escaped from the market town, and the Chahar cavalry did not pursue, but only blocked the water surrounding the market.

A group of cavalry rushed in from the wide main street, gathered around the circle, and gave a loud order: "The Great Khan has an order, everyone assembles on the grass outside Zhangjiakou Fort, and those who disobey will be beheaded." "There was no time to dodge along the way, and seven or eight people were directly knocked into the side of the road.

Whether it was the owner, the buddy, or even the Mongols who came to buy the goods, they all honestly followed the instructions of the Chahar cavalry and walked in the direction of Zhangjiakou Fort, and Zhai Zhe was also mixed in.

The Chahar cavalry drove behind them with a fierce whip.

"Hurry up!" One of the horsemen suddenly drew his scimitar and slashed at the wounded who were slow-moving behind.

Then I heard a scream, and someone shouted: "Kill, kill!" "Everyone's steps are faster. Zhai Zhe suddenly saw Fan Yongdou's figure in the crowd, his face was pale, he didn't even know where his hat had fallen, and he bowed his head and hurried away under the package of the guards.

The cavalry began to whip and whip, screams rang out, the streets narrowed, and the scene became more chaotic, and Zhai Zhe gradually \u8

43d is in the back.

When the set was out, there was the sound of cavalry hooves all around, Zhai Zhe lowered his head and quickened his pace, and suddenly heard a whip, and his back was hot and painful, and he was whipped.

"Get down on your knees! The Great Khan has arrived! I don't know where such a shout came, and the people in the group surrounded by cavalry fell to their knees, and Zhai Zhe also bent his knees on the soft grass.

The whole field was silent, and the cavalry stopped their movements and stood in solemn columns.

Zhai Zhe secretly looked up and glanced forward, and saw a middle-aged red-faced man in fur surrounded by forty or fifty cavalry coming to the front of the team, with a hooked nose and a yellow and gray head, like a hedgehog.

Is this the Great Khan of Mongolia, Lin Dan Khan? Zhai Zhe lowered his head.

In Zhangjiakou Fort, the garrison Huang Hua stood by the stone of the female wall and looked at the thousands of people under the fort who were escorted by the Mongols, his hands trembling slightly. The Chahar people came without warning, and received a report from Gong Chen and others, who had always thought that it was just a cavalry passing by Zhangjiakou.

A loud Mongol rushed to the fort and shouted: "Listen to the officials of the Ming Dynasty, the one who is coming is the Great Khan, the co-lord of the 400,000 Mongols." The Tumut tribe, which has been constantly commanding the commander, has been conquered and no longer exists, and the Great Khan demanded to accept the city reward given by the Ming Dynasty to the Tumert! If you don't listen, you will raze Zhangjiakou to the ground. ”

Huang Hua only woke up after hearing this, the Chahar people did not come to Koubian, but to ask for a city reward! Hurriedly ordered someone to reply on the city wall: "Tell the Great Khan's request to the Holy Lord, and the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia will always be together!" ”

Lin Dan Khan muttered a few times on his horse and waved down.

The forty or fifty Mongol cavalry surrounding him suddenly drew their bows and arrows and shot into the sky, and a moment later a suppressed scream erupted from the crowd.

The Mongol shouted again: "Within a month, the city reward will be done!" Otherwise, the Great Khan will break through Xuanfu! ”

After hearing these words, Lin Dan Khan turned his horse's head and took the lead in the direction of Zhangba grassland, followed by a large group of cavalry behind him, leaving all the people in the collection where they were and leaving.

Lin Dan Khan is here to ask for a reward from the city!

The city reward is an agreement reached between the Ming Dynasty and Tumut Altan Khan when they negotiated peace decades ago, and the clear point is that the government procures, twice a year, the Ming court sends people to negotiate directly with the Tumut tribe to trade tea and horses. However, after so many years, the trading volume of the market reward is now less than 10% of the trading volume of private firms.

No wonder Lin Dan Khan ignored Lu Fuyou, he pinned his hopes on the imperial court's market rewards.
