Chapter 148: Wu Hou is a good horse
More than 100 miles north of Shanxi Xingdu Division, Fengzhou Beach.
This place was called the Eilechuan in ancient times, and it belongs to the plain under the eastern foot of Yinshan Mountain. There are lakes such as the Gunpan River and the Hasuhai Sea in the territory, the water and grass are abundant, the forests are luxuriant, and it has always been the southernmost activity area of the Tatar region.
The west of Fengzhou Beach is less than 100 miles away from the eastern foot of Yinshan Mountain, and the south is less than 100 miles away from the northern border of the Ming Dynasty.
The Tatars originally set up the Dulan Racecourse with the Ming Dynasty, but because of the subsequent hostility with the Ming Dynasty. In the last years of Hongwu, the Ming army frequently marched north from Datong to Tatar, and this Dulan horse farm was also abandoned.
After Jianwen succeeded to the throne, he no longer used troops to the north of the Saibei to change to the Huairou policy, and later fought with the Yan army and the interior, so he had no time to take care of the Tatars.
Seeing that the Ming army had died down, the Tatars naturally made a comeback, and once again on the site of Dulan, they had frequent contacts with officials at all levels of the Shanxi Xingdu Division, and the relationship was ambiguous.
Human nature is like this, once the war stops, interests will follow, Shanxi Xingdu Division is close to the Tatar sphere of influence, naturally with a few private interactions, interests are transported, and over the years, it has become a trend of you have me, I have you.
Jianwen is not eloquent, and he is even more busy with internal troubles, so he naturally does not know about the secret communication between the frontier officials and foreign races. Now that Zhu Di is on the throne, although he is not as childish as Jianwen for the frontier, he is suffering from seizing the throne and is entangled in internal affairs.
Rao is like this, he still used Wu Gao, the Marquis of Jiangyin, who was deposed by Jianwen, more than two months ago, as the commander of the Shanxi Xingdu Division, and settled in Datong City, and was the leader of the entire Shanxi Xingdu Division.
Wu Gaonai is the son of Wu Liang, the founder of Zhu Yuanzhang, who guarded Datong at the beginning of Jingnan, and commanded Yang Wen to attack Beiping from north to south many times, so that Zhu Di was like a fish in his throat. Later, Zhu Di rebelled and asked Jianwen to depose his official position and be demoted to Guangxi.
After Zhu Di seized power, he remembered Wu Gao, who made him suffer a lot. However, he did not pursue his crimes, but still reinstated his official and reinstated Datong.
His return is like a stubborn stone entering a quiet pool, causing ripples in circles. Although Wu Gao was originally the leader of the Shanxi Xingdu Division, after all, Jing Nan was dismissed soon after.
In the next three years, Emperor Zhu had no time to take care of the border, and many officials of the Shanxi Xingdu Division began to communicate with the Tatars and grabbed a lot of benefits from the Tatars, but Wu Gao was an outsider.
Now that the Jingnan has returned, and Wu Gaogang is not disdainful of making peace with the Tatars, many officials in the Shanxi Xingdu Division are naturally quite defensive about him and hide everything.
Speaking of this, the Shanxi Xingdu Division is parallel to the north, located in the northernmost part of the Ming Empire.
The station of the Shanxi Xingdu Division is Datong, and the station of the Northern Parallel Capital Division is Kaiping City outside the Saiwai.
These two lines of capital division control the outer three passes and the north of the place, its south is Shanxi and later the north Zhili, its topography rush, through the inside and outside.
The sky is like a dome, covering the four wildernesses.
In the vast and dim twilight, a team of about 300 horses drove hundreds of horses from north to south, like horse merchants.
These people were all dressed in Tatar costumes, and they galloped all the way like dragons and tigers, and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
When you reach the eastern foot of Yinshan Mountain, it is less than dozens of miles away from Dulan Racecourse. Suddenly, they saw dozens of horses riding out of the col, and they were quite cautious, and they couldn't help but stop castrating and cautiously look at the comers.
They only heard the people coming in the dark night: "The person who came is offering a horse to Wu Hou?" ”
The Tatar who was the leader had some doubts when he heard this, and he stepped forward and said, "Who are you?" ”
"I am a personal soldier of the Shanxi Xingdu Division, and I am here to greet you." The man replied.
The Tatar pouted, speaking very quickly. But the Han man heard it clearly, and immediately replied, "Angnesaglu." ”
When the Tatar heard the code words, and these Han people knew about Wu Hou's sacrifice of horses, his doubts were alleviated a lot, but he still said cautiously: "Can you have a waist card to prove it?" ”
The Han man threw a waist card to him, "I am the commander of Yanmen Pass, Xu Haibing, Cui Rui." ”
After checking again and again, the Tatar confirmed that it was correct, and then said, "Didn't you make an appointment to meet with Dulan?" Why do you come here to meet you halfway? ”
Cui Rui said: "You have come from afar to know that now that the talented King Yan has ascended the throne, he has made drastic changes to the border pass. All.
Lan has already been all over the Jinyi Guards and the border army, and this time he can't go to Nadulan Racecourse anymore. Today we are here to intercept you, and early tomorrow morning we will bypass the Dulan Racecourse and enter the country from Yang and Weiyang Hekou, where we will be received by the envoys of the Song Commander. ”
The Tatar leader had already checked their identities and said the right words. Convinced of what they were waiting for him and what he said, he nodded and let his men lead the horses and camp in the hills and cols with the Han Chinese.
The Tatar leader was quite cautious, watching the valley rise on all sides, surrounded by cliffs, and it was really a Jedi!
"This place is so dangerous, if any soldiers come to attack us, we won't be able to leave." The Tatar leader said uneasily.
Cui Rui smiled: "Although it's dangerous, it can also hide people's eyes, isn't it?" ”
The leader nodded, and said in a good way. Now it is not the two armies fighting, nor is it the camp of the large army, they are coming to hide from others, so naturally the more concealed the better.
They set up camp to make a fire, and Cui Rui had already disposed of the wine here to greet them, and these Tatars seemed very cautious, and they did not immediately take the drink.
Cui Rui said with a smile: "The wind and dust have been hard all the way, and I came here in the cold and wind, these wines are hot, let's relieve my fatigue." As soon as his voice fell, the dozens of Han people behind him all carried wine and poured it, without any scruples about the Tatars.
At this time, goose feather snow had already drifted in the night sky, and the snow was several feet there.
The Tatars were freezing and uncomfortable, and they looked at the leader with a blank eye. The leader was silent, and looked at the trembling Tartar men and still called softly.
When the men saw that he agreed, half of them lifted the beauty sprinkler and poured it, but the other half looked at it with a blank look.
Cui Rui looked funny, it turned out that this Tatar leader was still too cautious, Rao didn't dare to spoil the big thing, he only let the ordinary people drink first, and the other half of the people watched.
Cui Rui sat beside him with a bonfire disapprovingly, and said indifferently: "You have come to our Shangguan to pay attention to this time, and I have been told not to leak the news." Obviously, it is different from the usual, and now there are a lot of Jinyi guards in the Guannai, although we are under the banner of Wu Hou, we still have to be careful. ”
The Tatar leader was as strong as a tiger, and said disdainfully: "We pretended to be horse merchants dedicated to Wu Hou to enter the customs, even if the Jinyi guards inquired about it. This Wu Hou is a good horse, who doesn't know? Besides, we are all good and elite on this trip, and with your cover all the way, as long as we arrive at Yanmen Pass, everything will be fine. ”
Cui Rui naturally knows that Wu Hou is a good horse, and Wu Gao has worked hard since he took office, and he does not dare to slack off on patrolling side affairs. Although the officials of the Shanxi Xingdu Division had limited the way of communication with the Tatars in the past, they had long known that Wu Hou was a good horse.
These officials took advantage of the weakness of his good horses and went to contact the Tatars outside the border in the name of choosing horses for him, and brought many Tatars into the customs through the way of sacrificing horses, and scattered them all over the country.
Just hearing him say the word elite, Cui Rui couldn't help but look around, and sure enough, although these centaurs were lightly armed, they were fat and strong. The one-color tiger back bear waist is extremely strong.
He was puzzled: "You are going to Yanmen Pass with this group of elites, but there is something important?" ”
When the Tatar leader heard this, he looked at Cui Rui vigilantly, and Cui Rui smiled dumbly: "Don't get me wrong, we are just doing things for my General Xu, if Tang suddenly asks something important, don't take it to heart." ”
Cui Rui lifted the wine and poured it up to the sky, regardless of whether he drank it or not.
The Tatar leader nodded, he saw that Cui Rui himself was also drinking, and he looked at the subordinate who drank first, and there was nothing unusual, he also went down with vigilance, and casually took a jar of wine beside him and poured two sips.
In the face of the snowstorm, more than 300 people leaned on the wooden stakes on the mountain wall and drank comfortably.
"What's going on, what's going on with my head..."
Suddenly, a strong Tartar man was a little dazzled, and he forced himself to get up but fell to the ground!
"How can I..."
"Oh no, there's something wrong with this spill!!"
The Tatars were in turmoil, but they felt weak and looked around in confusion!
The Tatar leader immediately drew his sword and jumped up, looking at Cui Rui beside him looking at him with a strange smile.
"Bastard!!" He shouted angrily, although he had also drunk but not much, and now although he was a little dizzy, he could stand still.
"Kill!!" At this moment, there is no way out. Error-free updates @
Torches lit up one after another, and countless figures poured in from all directions, slashing at the Tatar elites of the three realms!
"Ahh screamed again and again for a while, these Tatar elites were all good hands, but no matter how good they were, they couldn't withstand the erosion of medicinal power, and they became powerless fat sheep and were cut down one by one.
"You are not Xu Haibing's person.. Who are you!? He forcibly resisted the potion and asked.
"Cui Rui" smiled and said: "My name is Chen Changgong, I have been waiting for a long time!" ”
The Tatar burst into flames and slashed at Chen Changgong with a knife.
Chen Changgong turned over with a harrier to dodge, and immediately stabbed the Tatar with a single knife when his footsteps moved.
It's just that the Tatar man is really not covered, and in a dazzle, he grabbed Chen Changgong's knife body with one arm and threw it away, and he actually threw Chen Changgong off with a single knife.
Just listen to "When!" With a bang, Chen Changgong inserted a single knife into the crack of the stone, splashing a piece of rubble!
As soon as the Tatar man succeeded, he approached Chen Changgong, who was defenseless, and his knife skills were superb, and he slashed out more than a dozen knives in the blink of an eye. The knife was as fast as lightning, like an afterimage, sealing Chen Changgong's surroundings through the wind and rain!
Chen Changgong retreated again and again, he never expected that this Tatar knife technique would be so thunderbolting, and he would throw his single knife out of his hand with one arm!
Just when he was about to hit the knife, a long arrow on one side rushed to the Tatar man's blade, and the huge force came and shook the Tatar man two inches away and fell on Chen Changgong's ear!
When the power of the medicine came up, the Tatars were dizzy again.
At this moment, he only felt that there was a person on his side rushing like a lightning speed, as fast as a rabbit!
He didn't even have time to swing his knife and slash away, even though he felt his legs entangled in the man like an octopus, and he couldn't move!
He was shocked in his heart, and said that this person's body was so flexible that he lost his center of gravity and fell on the snow in a strange posture by the man's clothes.
He wanted to break free from the man and get up, but he didn't expect another strong man to pounce on him and press him to the ground, "Bang! With a crisp sound, he cried out in pain, only to feel that his arms had been broken with great force!
"Baobu is smaller than you, don't get killed!" The man who wrapped himself around the Tatar's legs and fell him down was none other than Bao Yuanqian.
Bao Yuanqian's skills are now much faster than in the past, and he just rushed to the ground, just like hanging sandbags on his ankles all the year round, and suddenly unloading the sandbags one day, he only felt that his body was much more agile, and even he himself was amazed.
Otherwise, the stupid duck's skills in the past would have been cut in two before he even ran in front of the Tatars!
Bao Butong said: "Even if you pout his two arms, you can't die!" ”
The Tatar was crushed on the snow, and watched in pain as he watched in pain as his three hundred elite men were almost slaughtered, and their corpses were stacked on top of each other. Hot blood mixed with cold snow, sizzling white.
He hated it in his heart, these three hundred elites were one in a hundred or even one in a thousand miles, all of them were low-level officers and warriors in the Tatar tribes, and now they were slashed and killed here by this group of people of unknown origin, and the great plan of his own master was instantly wiped out!!
And these people who do it are mixed with Han and Mongolian, Han Chinese are only a small part, and more seem to be Mongolians! Naturally, these people can't be Tatars, only the damned Varat!
It's just that he misunderstood Wara, these Han people are the disciples of Feng Saizhang, and the Mongolian people are the warriors of the Zara Yier Division, and they are squatting here with Bao Yuanqian and others all the way south!
The screams in the valley gradually ceased, and the tatar leader with his broken arms was tied up with a dozen or so remaining Tatars, who looked around them with resentment at the "Warats" who were slashing them like cattle.
But what they were even more puzzled by was that there were also a bunch of people tied up beside them, and the bunch of people were all Han Chinese, and they were also gagged and whining.
The Tatar leader suddenly understood that these people were the subordinates of Xu Haibing, the commander of the Yanmen Pass, and they had already been kidnapped and dropped by them!
Bao Yuanqian looked at the wind who was walking on the side and said, "Senior Feng, what Cui Rui said is really true. Things are all on the right one by one, but I don't know what these people are going to do in Yanmen Pass. ”
Feng Saizhang nodded, the captive is not afraid of not being able to ask here, now that we have the initiative, it will be much easier for him to enter the customs in the future. ”
。
Twenty days ago, they went south from the Kereh tribe in the far north, and after passing through the Zara Yier tribe, they belonged to a thousand war horses that they had been deceived into and the thin noodles of the wind and the wind were exchanged for the name of the Zara Yier tribe and the warriors of the Zara Yier tribe went south with them.
All the way through the territory of Varat, Tatar. It was not until three days ago that they arrived near Toyosu Beach, where Tatar and Daming meet. Because they caught the captives of the Asuth Division, they touched the Dulan Racecourse according to their tip-offs, and happened to meet Cui Rui and his party waiting here.
Because of the confessions of the captives of the Asut Ministry, they hung the token on their waists, which quickly attracted the attention of Cui Rui and others. They deceived Cui Rui and his party out of Dulan Racecourse under the pretext of taking them all down and obtained the latest confession.
Wu Hou is a good horse!
Cui Rui explained the inside story of the top and bottom of the Shanxi Xingdu Division, which officials were fornicating with the Tatars and which were innocent, and said that the new commander Wu Gao liked good horses, so they repeatedly used this to deceive Wu Gao by secretly forming a knot with the Tatars. At the same time, he also explained that they received the Tatar elite, and said the code words that recognized each other and the way the Tatars must go.
Although Zhu Di ascended to the base of the moon, after all, the emperor was far away, and there were still many Tatars in this Dulan. Bao Yuanqian wanted to capture these people, so naturally he couldn't startle the snakes, so he intercepted them halfway and tricked them to this place.
Feng Saizhang asked Chen Changgong to pretend to be Cui Rui, trick them into tricking them with code words and waist cards, and then drug them, and probe the tone of these Tatars.
Unexpectedly, these Tatars were very cautious, and Chen Changgong did not say a word when asked about the things planned.
It's just that they didn't expect that these wines would become a winning method, and the Tatars around them were full of doubts, they clearly looked at Chen Changgong and his party to drink, how could they end up with completely different endings?
Bao Yuanqian took a sip of wine, looked at the Tatar captives with a puzzled expression, and said with a smile: "Are you curious why we weren't poisoned?" ”
"Hahaha!!" The surrounding disciples laughed at the Tatars.
Bao Yuanqian said with a smile: "There is a saying that talking about toxicity aside from the dose is a hooligan." ”
There was indeed medicine in these wines, whether it was drunk by Chen Changgong and others or by the Tatars, they were all drugged by Feng Saizhang.
It's just that this medicine is not a strong poison, and you will die if you drink it.
Rather, the toxicity is weak and extremely slow, and if you drink a sip or two at will, you will not rush to pour it violently, and there is no medicinal property at all. It is easily excreted by the human body, and these so-called toxicities do not work at all.
It's just that these Tatars came tired, their mouths were dry, and they drank quickly and violently, and the large amount and illness caused this medicinal property, which was also the root cause of their poisoning!
This is also the reason why although the Tatar leader poured some water, he was able to hold on better than his own subordinates and fight back, just because he drank less.
But now that they have all become turtles in the urn, Bao Yuanqian needs to ask these Tatars what they did when they went to Yanmen Pass, how many people entered the gate in the past, what they were trying to do when they went to Yanmen Pass, and what actions Arutai would do outside the pass, these questions all need to be answered by these Tatar elites.
