Yan Mountain stands in front, Cheng Yuan looks like a giant of the Ming Dynasty, this mountain has made natural protection measures for the people of the Han family in the Ming Pass.

The Ming Dynasty used it to resist the invasion of the nomads to the people, and built the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, and then built a pass gate in a suitable place for entry and exit.

Dao Yan was quite familiar with this place, and the mentioned Ju Yongguan and Lu Longsai Chengyuan also knew it, and he smiled and said: "Master, these places are the places with the most guards, but think about where there are places where you can go over." ”

"There is a place, the poor monk heard the king of Yan mentioned, called Liujiakou Pass, here is a mountain hole in Yanshan, when the Great Wall was built, the water pass was built here, the river passed, it was an arch, the road on both sides of the waterway is narrow, and it is rare to pass the soldiers and horses."

The two looked at each other from a distance, and then approached to see, only to see the line engraved with four regular script characters "Liujiakou Pass".

"His Royal Highness King Yan is really smart, and this place may be a useful place for us to break through." Cheng Yuan carefully observed the terrain.

When the two arrived at night, they found a private house to live in, and the king of Yan used a lot of treasure money for them, and the two bought horses halfway, and rushed to Daning overnight the next day.

Although Daning City is the land of the vassal king, because it is far away from the interior of the Ming Dynasty, the best city towers are only made of earth and bricks, and many of them are made of loess.

When the two of them arrived at the gate of Daning City, Cheng Yuan was taken aback, what kind of city tower is this, it is clearly a small city outside the plug, and it is not as good as a small county in Beiping City.

Among the people who entered the city, there were herdsmen, and there were many local people in Daning, and Cheng Yuan followed Daoyan to be interrogated at the door.

Because Zhu Di raised troops in Beiping Mansion, the imperial courts inside and outside the customs were strictly investigated, and the people passing by were strictly guarded.

The wind is blowing, and the loess dust on both sides of the road is flying, which makes people want to cough.

Cheng Yuan said: "Master, although this fief of King Ning is remote, the people here are fierce, and I am afraid it will take some time." ”

Dao Yan turned his head to look at Cheng Yuan and asked, "Is the little gentleman afraid?" ”

Cheng Yuan smiled: "Master, I, Cheng Yuan, don't know how to write the words I am afraid of." ”

The two were interrogated before they were released.

Since Zhu Di raised his army, people everywhere have been panicked, and Zhu Yunwen has been like a frightened bird, basically guarding all the vassal kings.

At this moment, Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, sat in the study of the palace of the king of Ning and looked at the book, after the death of the king of Qin and the king of Jin, among the vassal kings, the king of Yan belonged to one, the king of Ning belonged to the second, and the king of Xiang belonged to the third, these are the best among the vassal kings.

It's just that King Ning has a very wide range of things, and some of everything is involved, while Zhu Di, the king of Yan, specializes in the art of war and strategy, so in this regard, Zhu Di deserves to be more powerful than Zhu Quan.

Although Zhu Quan is young, he is also brave.

But he is a delicate person, and most of the delicate minds will be indecisive, although he has a strategy, but he is too ink, and he is forward-looking and scruples.

Always think too deeply about doing things, no Zhu Di has the courage to do things, or no Zhu Di to lead the troops decisively.

In the past year, the imperial court has successively attacked the King of Zhou, the King of Qi, the King of Dai, and the King of Xiang, Zhu Quan naturally knows why, because in addition to the King of Qi, the rest of them have something to do with Zhu Di.

That's why they were the first to be pulled off the horse.

Because Zhu Quan was not far from Beiping City, he was also regarded as a target for prevention and control, not only transferring his Ning Wangsan guards away, but also putting pressure on him.

When he was about to cut him, Zhu Di directly raised troops in Beiping City, because of this matter, the imperial court concentrated its forces on Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and Zhu Quan took a breath a little.

At this time, someone came to report, and Zhu Quan glanced at the man: "What did you hear?" ”

"His Royal Highness King Yuning, King Yan captured Geng Bingwen near Zhending, and the imperial court mobilized 500,000 soldiers and horses to march to Beiping City."

Zhu Quan was stunned and stood up: "You are not wrong to inquire?" The imperial court gathered 500,000 soldiers and horses to attack Beiping Mansion? ”

Then Zhu Quan sat on the chair and said with a smile: "Fortunately, this king did not listen to the words of Duoyan Sanwei, if he responds to Zhu Di, the king of Yan, to raise troops and fight against him, the person who the court wants to fight at this time is this king." ”

At this moment, two women dressed in Mongolian clothes walked in, one was Zhu Quan's side concubine Dana'er, the younger sister of the leader of Duoyan Sanwei.

The other is Da Yu'er, who is the daughter of the leader of the Duoyan Sanwei and lives in the Daning Mansion with her aunt.

The father of the Zhang family, the concubine of King Ning, was Zhang Tai, the commander of the soldiers and horses, and his side concubine was Dana'er, the sister of the leader of the Duoyan Sanwei.

There are some things about Zhu Quan and Duo Yanwei, which he will pass on through his side concubine.

Seeing his beautiful side concubine, Zhu Quan hugged her in his arms with joy, looked at her and said: "Na'er, I heard that the imperial court sent 500,000 soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress King Yan, and your eldest brother persuaded me to follow King Yan at the beginning, but now it seems that this king is still wise." ”

Dana Er said: "King Yan is so brave, he led his troops to attack the imperial court, and he is a well-deserved Baturu. When will you raise your army, my lord? ”

Zhu Quan said: "Wait for King Yan to hit the soldiers and horses of the imperial court well, and then my nephew will dare to cut Tibet?" King Yan was enough for him to drink a pot. ”

King Ning's side concubine Dana'er said: "I heard that there were traitors in the imperial court, so the imperial court received a trick to cut off the soldiers and horses of the vassal king. At that time, the outside of the gate will be the prince's world, why did the prince hesitate again. ”

Da Yu'er is beautiful and bewitching, but her eyes are as pure as a deer, and she looked at her uncle Ning Wang and said, "Little uncle, didn't you say that you want to be Baturu, why did you regret it again." ”

Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, hugged his beloved concubine and said to Da Yuer: "Uncle, I am not stupid, if I go to help King Ning or raise troops at this moment, it will be sent to death." It's better to preserve your strength, the court won't let me go, and I will unite with your father and them to raise troops. ”

Da Yuer was a little angry, at the beginning, Duoyan Sanwei wanted to follow King Yan to raise troops, but was blocked by Zhu Quan, and said that he would also raise troops at that time.

But now it seems that King Ning is worried.

There is no determination to raise troops at all, is it a Baturu.

They are all sincere warriors on the grassland.

"Lord Wang, King Yan has sent someone." The guard at the door came in to give a report.

"Let them in."

Ning Wang Zhu Quan immediately stood up, Yan Wang's people came to find out what to do with him, didn't he make trouble for himself.

While thinking about it, Cheng Yuan and Dao Yan had already entered the study of King Ning's Mansion.

Cheng Yuan has removed his previous disguised appearance, and Dao Yan's hair has also been put away.

Dao Yan said with a smile: "The poor monk has seen His Royal Highness King Ning, and it is good for His Highness to come in." ”

Cheng Yuan arched his hand: "Cheng Yuan, King Yan is in charge of affairs, and I have seen King Ning." ”

Zhu Quan said: "What do you mean by the two of you? ”

"We want to borrow soldiers and horses from King Ning." Dao Yan got straight to the point.

Zhu Quan hesitated: "I also miss the fourth brother, I am worried about his safety, and I hate the court for being so cruel to the vassal king, but the court is powerful, and this king does not dare to act rashly." If I am an enemy of the court, I will die for life. ”

Cheng Yuan heard what King Ning meant, glanced at the two women behind him, looked at King Ning and said, "Your Royal Highness King Ning, if the imperial court exterminates King Yan's mansion, I am afraid that King Ning and the other vassal kings will not live." ”

"King Yan once told me that he and King Ning are good brothers, so I took the risk and came to ask King Ning for help.

Cheng Yuan and King Ning are not much different in age.

Zhu Quan looked at Cheng Yuan and said: "This king doesn't dare to lend the soldiers and horses to King Yan, and he won't borrow them, so please go back, this king should not have seen you." ”

At this time, Dana'er, the side concubine behind her, looked at Zhu Quan and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, we should leave two roads, in case King Yan wins, there will be room to turn back at that time." ”

"How can the prince be sure that the imperial court will definitely win? King Yan is alive, which is also a help to the prince. ”

Zhu Quan knew that Zhu Di was not an ordinary vassal king, he listened to his concubine's words the most, and after the two bit their ears.

He slowly stood up and looked at Cheng Yuan and Dao Yan: "This king and the fourth brother also have some friendship, the boat and car are tiring, please rest in the palace for a few days." ”

Dao Yan smiled: "Thank you King Ning." ”

Cheng Yuan's attention was on the two female dependents behind him, and it stands to reason that outsiders in the palace should not be seen.

But the nomadic girl is enthusiastic and fierce, and it is normal to follow King Ning to meet guests, and Cheng Yuan and Dao Yan are not surprised.

Da Yu'er glanced at Dao Yan, the old monk was not interested, but because of the words Cheng Yuan just said, she couldn't help but look at Cheng Yuan a few more times.
