1o-2 Batu the Brave

Forbidden City, Wuying Palace, this is the place where the emperor receives foreign envoys every day, the atmosphere is particularly tense today, three messengers in different clothes stand on the hall, with different expressions and different bearings.

Wearing a similar gauze hat to the Ming Dynasty officials is the Goryeo envoy, this official is obviously a little nervous, the cold sweat on the forehead is down, the Celestial Dynasty for many years of power and the sudden declaration of war order in the country made the Goryeo envoy who lives in Nanjing very embarrassed, the thin camel is bigger than the horse, even if the Ming Dynasty is weak, it is not a small country like Goryeo can be bullied casually, but since the king has made up his mind, as a courtier, he has to carry it out, and the officials of the Ming Dynasty have been extremely embarrassed by a burst of scolding, and he can't wait to find a crack to get into.

Relatively speaking, the Manchu envoy is more natural, the time is already May, he has a new white cool hat, the hat is decorated with a new red Yingluo and a one-eyed flower, a blue Manchu official robe, with a bead on his chest, his demeanor is calm, the Manchu Qing and the Ming Dynasty have fought for many years, and the declaration of war is purely a formality.

Today's protagonist is the envoy of the Western Xia, for a long time the Western Xia is a mysterious existence in the eyes of the Ming people, only know that they are a vein of the Yuan Dynasty, and have long occupied the area west of Jiayuguan, where is the vast Gobi and the endless desert, belonging to the barren land that the Central Plains people look down on, few people are concerned, although there have been sporadic wars between the Western Xia and the Ming Dynasty, but in general there is no deep hatred, on the contrary, they also strive to maintain the peace of Shaanxi, speaking of non-enemies and non-friends, it is a strange and mysterious neighbor.

It just so happened that Liu Ziguang was on duty in the palace today, and when he heard the emperor's message, he immediately rushed over, and as soon as he went to the palace, he felt a kind of murderous atmosphere, and the aura came from a strong Mongolian man, who was standing with him on his back, Liu Ziguang stepped into the Wuying Hall The moment he stepped into the Wuying Palace, the Mongolian man seemed to feel a strong threat, turned his head slightly, and the eyes of the two met in mid-air, and suddenly collided with fierce sparks, so strong momentum, both of them secretly marveled.

Liu Ziguang has killed countless people, and he is a very human minister, so he is naturally not angry and arrogant, but the momentum in the eyes of this Mongolian envoy comes completely from the life of fighting and conquering cities and plundering land all year round, full of wildness and unruliness. The two looked at each other for a moment, and the man suddenly said, "You are Liu Ziguang, the first warrior of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Before Liu Ziguang could answer, he had already said to himself: "I am Wanhu Batu, the guard of His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty. After finishing speaking, he stopped looking at Liu Ziguang, Fang Buddha Liu Ziguang is a villain book, and he had already seen it clearly from top to bottom at that glance just now.

Originally, the declaration of war was declared, and after the announcement was made, the envoys went home and prepared to start the war, but today Zhu Youxiao's anger was not smooth, and he had a good birthday for his mother, but he encountered a declaration of war, and it was a war in the east, west, and north at the same time, and these envoys were all dragged 2580,000 as if they were only some civil officials on their side, and they quoted scriptures to scold people and not be angry at all.

"Liu Aiqing, you are here, the envoys of the three countries have already started a war against our Ming Dynasty on behalf of their respective countries, this Manchu envoy said that as long as you hand over your head and Shandong and Henan, you can truce the army, what do you think?"

Zhu Youxiao said this in a ridiculous tone, he just wanted Liu Ziguang to beat the envoys on the spot, so as to relieve the evil anger in his chest, and the civil officials present also thought so, everyone knew that Zhenwuhou was a splash, and the Manchu Qing named his head and he had to beat people on the spot.

But Liu Ziguang was not angry, he smiled, looked the Manchu envoy up and down a few times, and said calmly: "You want my head, right?" Although you can get it, by the way, is the injury on Xuan Ye's face better? Children don't want to learn from adults to play with firearms, and Da Yuer's sister is too, so adults, grandchildren can't take care of it. ”

The Manchu envoy was so angry by his harsh language that he trembled, and he couldn't say a word, and the ministers of the Ming Dynasty around him knew that the Marquis of Zhenwu had disfigured Kangxi's deeds, which would be as if they were happy one by one, but they didn't laugh out loud, and they pursed their lips and stole fun, compared to the Western Xia envoy Batu was much more bold, raised his head and laughed heartily, laughing so that the Manchu envoy's face was blue and red for a while, and after laughing, Batu said to Liu Ziguang in Chinese with a peculiar accent: "I thought you were really a man, I didn't expect it to be a flamboyant guy, and his mouth is stronger than his hands, which is really the tradition of your Ming people. ”

Liu Ziguang said: "If it weren't for the two countries and the two countries not fighting each other, I would have to screw your head off just by your words, but you don't have to worry, the head of the Wan household who guards the pro-army, right, we have a chance to meet, I guarantee that the next time you see me, you will be a prisoner." ”

Batu said: "I give you the same words, Changshengtian testifies, I will definitely capture you, the number one warrior of the Ming Kingdom, alive on the battlefield, whether it is a real warrior or a braggart warrior." ”

Liu Ziguang nodded: "Very good, then let's see you on the battlefield in Shaanxi." ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Batu's mouth: "I'm afraid we won't meet in Shaanxi, I'm afraid that Shaanxi will have fallen into the hands of my Great Xia." ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar, looking at the appearance of the Western Xia people did not look like they were lying, presumably their time was very good, and they declared war here and started to attack there, but Zhou Zhenglong's Shaanxi army was so vulnerable? For so many years, under the rule of Governor Zhou, the Shaanxi authorities have been insisting on the two strong enemies of the Western Xia and Manchu Qing dynasties.

Batu's words brought panic to the officials of the Ming Dynasty, and even Zhu Youxiao began to feel uneasy, and the military situation was urgent and he didn't have the heart to fight with them again, so he waved his hand to signal that it could be over, and the eunuch shouted at the top of his voice: "Kneel down and retreat." ”

After the envoys retreated, the ministers talked about it, the Ming Dynasty finally breathed a sigh of relief, and now it has encountered such a chaotic situation, attacking on three sides, than when there were bandits in the year, and the situation of building captives outside is more critical, fortunately, now the Ming army has many famous generals, both Yuan Chonghuan, Wei Guogong and other handsome talents, and Liu Ziguang, Wu Sangui and other young generation generals, the army is also equipped with sharp firearms, plus the last few wars are victorious, morale is very strong, or can fight.

War is a huge system engineering, which requires close cooperation among various ministries, the assembly of troops, the transportation of grain and grass, the recruitment of people, the cooperation of local governments, and the recruitment and training of recruits.

There are countless spies scattered in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty basically knows how many troops and how much grain and grass there is, but there is very little information about the Western Xia, and there has been no systematic investigation of the situation in the Western Regions, only knowing that there are many small tribes, small countries, and various ethnic groups living together, and they are fighting and killing all year round, and the Silk Road from the Central Plains to the Western Regions has long been broken, and the trade is only outside the customs. There are a few guys in the Red Shirt Regiment who have served as soldiers in the Western Xia army, but they are also low-level non-commissioned officers, and they don't know much about the upper echelons, they only know that the Xia army is strong in combat and is far away from the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty.

What should I do if I can't find someone who is familiar with Western Xia for a while, Liu Ziguang thought about it and suddenly thought of a person, no one knows Western Xia better than him......

Although it is said that the two countries did not cut the envoys, but the envoys of the three countries handed over the battle table or quickly left Nanjing to return to their respective countries, returning north first to cross the Yangtze River, rolling the Yangtze River is a terrible place for the skilled western men with bows and horses, Batu They came out of the Forbidden City after packing up their things and hurriedly went out of the city, taking the boat provided by the Manchus across the Yangtze River moat, looking at the surging river, Batu said to his fellow ---- the Manchu envoy: "Today angered the Han people, they won't do anything in the river, right?" ”

The Manchu envoy said: "Although the Han people are cunning, they always have to take care of face, even if they humiliate them ruthlessly, they will not do anything to the envoys, you can rest assured." ”

Batu nodded and said contemptuously, "Hmph, hypocritical Han people. ”

Just as he was saying a word, the boat had reached the center of the river, and suddenly the hull of the ship trembled, and with a bang, the whole boat was disconnected from the center, and those Mongols and Manchus fell into the water with their war horses in an instant, and Batu quickly hugged his war horse, because he knew that although he could not swim, the war horse could swim.

It's a pity that the war horse is not a war ship after all, 6 horses galloping on the ground can't become a dragon in the water, can only barely tread water, the horse is also tied to a lot of chickens and dogs, carrying luggage, plus a Batu, where to support it, a wave hit the water and choked, Batu was also stunned by the waves, where have the western men seen so much water, in a daze, only felt that someone dragged themselves, pulled themselves into the water, Batu is such a fierce general, to the water actually can't show at all, choked a few mouthfuls of water one after another, I couldn't open my eyes, and finally fluttered a few times and disappeared into the Yangtze River.
