Yang Hong received the challenge letter brought by the messenger of the flower without the flower, and couldn't help but hehe: "Interesting, this flower is not from the flower." I'll go back and tell you, Lord Chito, that General Ben has taken over. ”

"Then I'll go back-" The envoy almost didn't laugh out loud, Hua is the first warrior in the desert, Yang Hong really doesn't know how thick the sky is.

"Wait, General Ben also has two conditions." Yang Hong drank the messenger.

"General, please speak—"

"Don't bring troops, don't take hostages, and don't come if you're not sincere."

"Okay, I'll tell you what I'm saying." The messenger withdrew from the tent.

The envoy conveyed Yang Hong's conditions to Hua Libuhua, but he didn't expect that this conceited Hua Libuhua should not be taken seriously at all: "Okay, I'll go to meet this hereditary general alone in three days, and Kaipingwei will soon be in my pocket." You have done a good job, and this general will be rewarded! He took out a mina of gold and rewarded the messenger.

Three days later, Hua Buhua did not miss the appointment, and came to the outskirts of Kaipingwei alone, he was wearing a silver helmet and silver armor, holding a moon halberd, standing outside the city and shouting: "Yang Hong, come out, I want to duel with you!" ”

Yang Hongxun ran up to the city, looked at it, and the person who came was really a flower or not, so he asked: "Hua Qianhu is really full of courage, just with your sincerity, this general will have to fight with you today." Then Yang Hong went down to the city, ordered someone to open the city gate, and galloped out with a gun and horse.

The young and vigorous Yang Hong has experienced the Battle of Jingjing, how many times he has fought with the government army, and he has retreated, and he is not afraid of Hua Buhua, who claims to be the first warrior of Kaiping. The Yang family's ancestral 360 strokes of the Yang family's gun marksmanship are enough to knock the flower off the horse. Fifty steps away from Hua Buhua, Yang Hong restrained the war horse and arched his hand: "Hua Qianhu, what kind of tactics?" Horse or infantry? ”

In his opinion, Yang Hong is a southerner, not good at horse warfare, and the odds of winning are more than eighty percent, with his own strengths against Yang Hong's shortcomings, defeating Yang Hong is just a piece of cake. This time he was wrong again, Yang Hongbu Zhan and Ma Zhan are both masters, and he danced dazzlingly with the 120-pound Yang family gun, and it is impossible to use it so freely without more than ten years of work.

"Come on——— "Hua didn't leave Hua and made a preemptive strike, holding his 80-pound Yuehu halberd towards Yang Hong. The opponent's move is fatal, Yang Hong has a little luck, resists left and right, and does not fight back, so that Hua Li does not spend ten moves, Hua Li's tiger mouth is numb, Yang Hong's internal force is too deep, and the transportation capacity is on the barrel of the gun, and Hua Li's ruthless moves are resolved one by one.

Hua Li Buhua was very annoyed by Yang Hong's attitude of only defending and not attacking: "Yang Hong, if you don't make a move, Kaipingwei will belong to me!" ”

Yang Hong was testing Hua Buhua's strength at that time, and saw his flaws, there was no sense of defense in the fierce offensive, and the more impatient he was, the easier it was to mess up. Yang Hong began to exert his strength, and suddenly put away the Yang family's gun, and suddenly attacked Hua Libuhua, and in an instant, he continuously attacked strange moves, and the moves were all full attack, and the momentum was terrifying, and the fight made Hua Lihua feel painful.

"Seal chain—"

"Rain beats pear blossoms—"

"The Demon Lord has descended—"

"Blood splattered in all directions—" ......

Yang Hong suddenly made a move to dance the lotus flower, and the head of the spear pierced Hua Libuhua's throat, and Hua Libuhua subconsciously used his Yuehu halberd to remove the gun. Yang Hong put away the gun, picked it up again, and flew away the Yuehu halberd that Hua Li didn't have, and then the gun was horizontal, and it swept towards Hua Libuhua's chest, and Hua Li Buhua flew into the air, and fell out of a foot with a bang.

But as soon as Hua Buhua's buttocks hit the ground, she jumped up and landed firmly on her horse. Yang Hong only used sixty percent of his strength, or he would have died if he hadn't spent it. Yang Hong raised his gun and wanted to stab, but Hua Lihua, who was bare-handed, shouted at this time: "General, don't kill me, I will admit defeat." ”

Hua got off the horse, stood on the grassland, took out the jade pendant on his chest, split his palm in half, raised it high and said, "General, you and I are brothers, how about it?" Hua Lihua was moved by Yang Hong's martial arts and took the initiative to show favor to Yang Hong.

Yang Hong waved his hand, and Li Zhong and several soldiers presented the worship items that had been prepared one by one.

"Good! Hua Qianhu is worthy of being the first warrior in the desert, or the first sincere and trustworthy person, today I, Yang Hong, recognized this brother! Yang Hong took the other half of the jade pendant in Hua Libuhua's hand, and the two high-fived and swore an oath.

"It's the same root." Flowers are inseparable from flower arrangement.

"Why is it too anxious to fry each other!" Yang Hongdao.

"Han Mengben's family—" Yang Hong said.

"This jade is proof!" Flowers are inseparable from flower arrangement.

"I don't want to be born in the same year and month, but I want to die in the same year, month and day!" Flowers are inseparable from flower arrangement.

"This is unlucky, we have to change our oath!" Yang Hong said with a smile, serving blood wine and wanting to drink, but he felt that it was inappropriate. ，

"Okay, it's up to you!"

"The sky is above, before Kaipingwei, I Yang Hong and Hua are inseparable from the flower as brothers with different surnames, no matter the wind and rain in this life, they will share weal and hardship!"

"The sky is above, before Kaipingwei, I am inseparable from the flower and Yang Hong to become brothers with different surnames, no matter the wind and rain in this life, we will share weal and hardship!"

The two of them picked up the blood wine, bowed deeply three times to the blue sky, and then drank it all.

"Come, brother, and go to the guard house for a drink." Yang Hong warmly invited.

"No, brother. There will be opportunities in the future. "Hua Buhua stepped on the war horse," there will be a period later! ”

"There will be a period later-" Yang Hongmu sent the flowers away from the flowers.

After that, the Tatar tribes rarely came to harass Kaipingwei, as long as they said the name of Huali Buhua, they retreated with interest. If there were Warat people to attack Yang Hong, Hua Lihua would send the information to Yang Hong in advance in a timely manner, and the Kaiping Weiming army was prepared and defeated the Warat people every time.

Kaiping defended the enemy, and the commander-in-chief Guo Liang was very happy. As long as he was free, Guo Liang invited Yang Hong to his camp to discuss military affairs with Yang Hong, and Yang Hong's reasoned and well-founded exposition and unique insights made Guo Liang feel very pleased.

Yang Hong is like a rising star, shining brightly on the northern border of the Ming Dynasty.

In the early years of Yongle, although Guilichi of the Mongolian steppe won the throne of the Great Khan, he called himself the Tatar Khan, abolished the name of the Yuan Dynasty, and took the initiative to show favor to the Ming Dynasty and wanted to get the support of the Ming Dynasty, which caused dissatisfaction among the Mongolian tribes. The Mongol aristocracy fought among themselves, and they split into three tribes: Tatar, Warat, and Uliangha.

With the support of the Taishi Arutai, Benjamin killed the ghost Lichi who was friendly with the Ming Dynasty and seized the supreme control of the Mongol tribes, and among the three tribes, the Tatar tribe was the most powerful.

The Kaiping guards Yang Hong and the Tatar tribe's Hua Buhua became brothers and lived in peace. So, the desperate Hua simply led his troops to surrender to Yang Hong.

In February, Ming Chengzu swore an oath at Deshengmen and set out to conquer Tatar in the north by means of Juyongguan, Huailai and Xuanfu (now Xuanhua, Hebei). The Ming army successively arrived at Lingxiao Peak (now northeast of Zhangbei, Hebei) and Kuanhai (now Hulun Lake, Inner Mongolia).

At the beginning of May, the army entered the valley of the Yuqu River (now the Krulun River), and Zhu Di renamed it "Drinking Horse River". Benjamin was terrified when he saw that he had caused a great deal of trouble, and asked Arutai.

After several changes of power, Arutai is still in the highest decision-making center: "Great Khan, this time Yongle came to attack my Mongolia, the front is very long, it is advisable to divide troops to break it. ”

Benjamin had no idea at this point: "How to divide the army?" ”

Arutai is also leaving a way out for himself: "The momentum of the Ming army is unstoppable, and the only way is to get rid of the pursuing Ming army lightly." The Great Khan led a group to the west and joined forces with Warat as soon as possible. ”

Benjamin asked, "Where is the master going?" ”

Arutai said: "Old minister, I will go east, so as to avoid the danger of being surrounded." ”

Benjamin was silent for a while, then said, "That's all there is to it." So he fled west with more than 100,000 cavalry to the area of Warat, where abandoned flocks of sheep were everywhere.

Zhu Gaoxu learned the battle report from the front, and hurriedly entered his father's camp: "Father, Arutai and Benjamin split their troops and fled in two ways, should they fight Benyashuri or Arutai first?" ”

Zhu Di actually admires Zhu Gaoxu, the second son who is eager to make new contributions, but his personality is too much like himself, advocating force, lest Zhu Gaochu become the crown prince, which will be detrimental to the Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Gaochu has nothing to say about marching and fighting.

Zhu Di pretended to be mysterious and said: "Boy, are you testing your father and me?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu smiled: "How dare you? Benjamin is already like a frightened bird, with a lot of baggage, and when he is not far away, he can concentrate superior forces to defeat him in one fell swoop. ”

Zhu Di applauded: "It coincides with me, and he deserves to be my son." ”

Zhu Gaoxu asked: "Father, when will you attack?" ”

Zhu Di said: "Boy, I just had breakfast, and there are still thirty miles away from the Difficult River, why are you so impatient?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "If you don't pursue it today, it is equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountain, and the fighter plane is rare!" ”

Zhu Di said: "Okay! You go to the vanguard and tell Yang Hong to set off immediately! Then I and the army arrived. ”

Zhu Gaoxu left the camp and urged the horse to gallop towards the front line. Yang Hong saw Zhu Gaoxu's expression coming in a hurry, so he asked, "His Royal Highness the King of Han, when do you have to come in person?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Holy Command, gather the team and immediately set off to pursue Benjamin!" ”

Yang Hong knew that the military situation was very urgent, so he beat the drums and gathered, and in less than five minutes, 5,000 men and horses had arrived. More than 20 generals, including Yang Wen, Yang Wu, Yang Shuang, Yang Shuang, and Yang Chong, stood in the front row, their armor shining, holding the Yang family's big gun, carrying bows and arrows on their backs, and they were majestic.

Zhu Gaoxu saw the starting lineup of Yang Jiajiang for the first time, and clapped his hands: "Strong! The Yang family will be the pillar stone of my Ming Dynasty, and it is really mighty, set off! ”
