Chapter 18: Independence (1)

Then he saw that the horse had slowed down, and immediately a dazzling light appeared in the knight's hand, which flashed and went out, and then lit up again, and so on. Hu Shan was overjoyed, took out a small piece of bronze mirror from his arms, reflected the light at the noon sun, covered the bronze mirror with his hand, and then let it go.

This is the joint code between him and Ding Yi.

Ding Yi is not a reckless person, although the assembly point is set up here, but there is more than one place, if there is a Warat army passing here, Hu Shan and they will definitely retreat to another place. Riding a horse directly, in case of crashing into the army of Warat, it is really a self-defeating net. So when they almost arrived at the place, they used a bronze mirror to illuminate the daylight, and if Hu Shan and Chen San were here, they would naturally contact them by the agreed length.

"Sir!" Hu Shan greeted him.

Ding kicked off the horse and threw the reins to Hu Shan, yawned but said, "Don't mention everything, let me sleep for a while." Hu Shan could see that Ding Yi was extremely tired, and hurriedly led him to the yurts that Jinyiwei was hiding.

Because this long journey is not the strength of the white horse, so he didn't even want to take the white horse, one person and three horses, day and night rushed back, in the middle to avoid the place where the army of the Warat people passed, and went around several circles, fortunately after all, the special forces were born, and by virtue of the sun and moon topography, he did not walk the wrong road from beginning to end and did not lose his way.

Two days ago, two horses died of exhaustion on the road, and one could not run, but fortunately they met a small tribe after a short time. Ding Yi went in at nightfall and stole the two horses, so that he could return in time for the season.

But sleep has become a luxury along the way, he doesn't dare to sleep at all, and there is no one to guard against, and it is not a jungle with natural vegetation that can be used as a protective color, and there are various terrain advantages to lay traps. There are more than just wild beasts in this steppe. There are also the Warat soldiers who are being mobilized, not to mention sleeping to make people discover, but I'm afraid that if I fall asleep, tens of thousands of iron hooves will step on my body, and then there will be no real immortals.

So sometimes tie yourself up and get confused on the horse; Sometimes I couldn't bear it, and when I saw a tree, I climbed up and slept for an hour and a half, and when I ran here, there were a group of disciples guarding my side, and the string in my heart immediately relaxed.

Ding Yi went into the yurt. I fell asleep upside down, almost literally with my head on the pillow.

After sleeping for seven or eight hours, that is, fifteen or sixteen hours, Ding Fang woke up hungry, only to feel extremely sore in his muscles and bones, thinking about how long he had been working day and night for so long. The horses are tired of two horses, and they can still hold up here. It is already a will like iron. But the jolting of the horse, the strain on the body, is not a problem that the will can solve.

After eating the fried noodles that Chen Sandan had mixed with hot water, Ding Yi fell asleep again after a while.

This time it was okay, he woke up after three hours of sleep, and Ding Yi took a breath. I didn't feel until this time that I gasped.

He was afraid that it would be too late, and all the arrangements would be empty.

Ding Yi knew little about other histories, and he remembered the Battle of Tumubao quite clearly:

July 16. Yingzong and Wang Zhen led 200,000 troops from Beijing; Then go to the first of August, and recover Datong, but this is only a conspiracy of the first, and the Ming army that immediately went out to pursue was defeated, and then the tragedy opened, Wang Zhen felt unsure when he heard it, so he commanded the army to return to Beijing.

Wang Zhen is a person who plays with power, and he has the ability to dominate the world, but his military talent is really not a zero score, but a negative score.

Think about the 200,000 troops, the retreat route has been changed again and again, and at this time, I also want Yingzong to go to Ulzhou's hometown so that he can live the addiction of returning to his hometown; Later, he felt that 200,000 people would definitely step on the farmland, and some people in later generations said that Wang Zhen was afraid of stepping on the farmland and letting him lose his money. In fact, this possibility is not too big, Wang Zhen was so powerful at that time, even Yu Qian could do it, so he didn't care about the harvest of the farmland, right? I feel that this person is nostalgic, and he should be worried about damaging the farmland, and the people in his hometown will definitely scold him, so he will change the retreat route again.

Anyway, what infamy do you care about at this juncture? What a military minus! So the Waratites pursued them.

And Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, who said in Khan Qingzhong, "looks very great, but lacks bravery", didn't know if it was a fate or what was going on, but he actually had the courage to lead 50,000 horsemen to meet Wara! He may think that there are only 30,000 or 20,000 people first, and he is still a cavalryman or 50,000.

As a result, when he went to Harrier Ridge, he also ambushed his troops first, not only did Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, be martyred, but also recorded in the 33rd biography of the Ming Dynasty that "the 50,000 horsemen who were in command were gone." ”

50,000 cavalry, the Ming army has few horses, and the weight of these 50,000 cavalry is definitely not light, not to mention that Yingzong has more than 200,000 troops, so there are no 50,000, or mobile troops, this loss is absolutely extremely painful.

It's just that the tragedy hasn't ended yet, and then the siege of Tumu Fort is over.

So Chen San and the others were saying, "I thought Mr. would return in August." "Xiaoliu said in August, and I also said that I was afraid until September"

Ding Yi just smiled bitterly when he heard it, don't talk about September, August, if you come back in August, the daylily will be cold!

I didn't say much to them at the moment, but just ordered to pack up and enter from Bauhinia Pass immediately, and then set off to Datong. I hope that before the official army arrives in Datong, Wang Zhen can be persuaded first, and if it is not good, it is also haode to let Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, hand over the 50,000 cavalry to himself to command; Take 10,000 steps back and say, remind Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, and let him be careful, which is also one of the options.

"Assemble, I have something to say to you as a teacher." Ding Yi commanded.

Chen San and the others received the order, so they went to gather their sergeants to come over, and after the array, they came to ask Ding Yi to give a lecture.

"This time I went, but it was a dead word." Ding Yi leaned over to the more than sixty people in front of him and said, "If anyone doesn't want to go, say it first, enter the Bauhinia Pass, and those who don't want to go can go back to Jingshi, and go directly back to Goldfish Hutong to find Su Zhen, and he will arrange for you to take care of the home." ”

For a moment there was silence, and the wind of the grassland blew through it, and it was fierce.

Ding Yi looked at them and didn't say anything more, even if he said it thoroughly, if he didn't understand, he couldn't help it.

It's just that even if he is the only one, Ding Yi tightens the long knife in his hand, but he feels that his heart is stronger than he thinks: even if he is not willing to go with him, he will go alone!

This is not the fate of a Ding Yi,

It's the fate of the Ming Dynasty!

There are more than 10,000 people, and there is no boundary. What's more, the Ming army marching towards Datong was as many as 200,000. And because of the hasty mobilization, all kinds of materials are insufficient, and the military discipline is not in order, which makes the ranks even more chaotic, and the Ming army is everywhere along the way.

A herald came on horseback, shouting, "Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Emergency military intelligence! Fuck the mistake, watch your heads! Those soldiers didn't eat this, and moved slowly, and Zuihou still the officer couldn't stand it, so he shouted loudly before he made his debut.

"No way!" Li Xian, who was riding on a horse, categorically rejected the proposal of several colleagues around him who were wearing imperial robes, "How can there be a godnephew who assassinates the uncle?" Don't talk about it again. "Shang Zhen and Ding Yi are his brother-in-law, so as soon as he squirts, he is the elder brother's jiashi; The emperor does not roll his tongue in front of him, it is the duty of a loyal minister, so he will also let go of the spray. But among ordinary colleagues, Li Xian is still very particular, and it is obvious that the rhetoric of these people seems to have touched Li Xian's bottom line, otherwise Li Xian, who pays attention to reading and cultivating his temperament, will not reprimand the other party so directly, no matter how trolls he is.

The few imperial historians on the side saw Li Xian's face darkened, and some people whispered: "If you can only use Zheng Wenkui, a native of Shenpu, this character is Yongzhang, and his sex is upright......" But he was complained by other imperial historians and didn't want to ask for his life for the people, what is the use of being upright? said that the prisoner surnamed Zheng is full of enthusiasm, where is there any kung fu?

"Don't rush to the doctor." Li Xian finally calmed down, pulled the horse's head and let the baggage carriages on the side pass, the sergeant on the horse was drunk, Li Xian was so uncomfortable that he couldn't help but subconsciously turn his head, but said to a few colleagues, "What reason did Zheng go to see that eunuch?" Could it be that the factory guard asked him, and said that he was going to kill someone? For a while, a few imperial historians were speechless.

Li Xian shook his head, and suddenly thought of the mantra of his younger brother Ding Yi, "Don't be afraid to fight with ghosts and gods, but fear being in front of the pig", these colleagues are really the pig-like robes that Ding Yi said, how could they come up with the idea of finding a prisoner to do such a thing? Or, this kind of thing for the sake of the country should not have been combined with these people in the first place.

He didn't know that the sergeant who was sitting on the heavy carriage that had been behind them just now was Ding Yi. Although he could only hear a few words, Ding Yi knew very well what they were discussing, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart, but he also felt extremely mocking.

Ding Yi finally understood why Li Xian, a scholar, forced Shang Xian, the top student among the scholars, to teach him to be a bagu, and arranged a lot of topics, so he had to make a sea of tactics.

It was Lee Hyun who was worried about his future.

Li Xian hoped that no matter what changes in the court, Ding Yi would at least be able to embark on the road of the imperial examination and gain fame to protect himself.

Because he wants to overthrow Ding Yi's biggest backer, Wang Zhen.

Unable to achieve this with normal procedures, Li Xian was prepared to use unconventional means to achieve this, including assassination.

As soon as Wang Zhen fell, Ding Yi lost his backer, and perhaps, under the anger of Yingzong, he also handled Li Xian, who was the main assassin, so Ding Yi was helpless in this Ming Dynasty. That's why Li Xiancai was so nervous to force Shang Yi to teach Ding Yi to do Bagu Wen. Ding Yi said to Chen San, who was walking beside the baggage carriage: "You go and tell Master Li that I know what he wants to do, and I will do it, and he won't toss anymore." ”

Chen San responded, then stopped following the baggage carriage and slowed down, waiting for Li Xian and them to approach on horseback, before calling Li Xian: "Master Li, you have a letter from home." Chen San knew Li Xian, but Li Xian didn't know Chen San, looking at this little flag wearing ordinary military clothes, he only felt strange, how could the family letter be sent by this little soldier?
