Lan Yu didn't wait for him to finish speaking, he waved the horse whip in his hand, pointed at the Yuan army formation three miles away, and said coldly: "Show goodwill? Bring tens of thousands of troops to this Liaodong, the place where the Ming Dynasty belongs, to show goodwill to the Great Ming Dynasty? It seems that this general needs to use cannons, so I should pay you a good salute. ”

This time is not only to get rid of the joy, but also the "Desert Flying Eagle" Tuo Yu on his side, who has always had a very good temper, and when he heard Lan Yu's aggressive words, he was also slightly angry in his heart, and when he turned his head, he saw a knight in his forties beside Zhu Quan, staring at his face with a sly smile, his eyes were full of provocation, and he couldn't help but be even more displeased, but he thought of the major affairs of the tribe in his heart, so he didn't have a seizure, and muttered to himself in his heart: I have heard that the Han people know etiquette, but I didn't expect to see that there are many barbarians today.

Qin Zhuofeng just saw Tuo Yu's figure and bearing, ugly appearance, and knew that this must have caused his apprentices Zhu Quan and Xu Ying to suffer a small loss, and the master nicknamed "Desert Flying Eagle" squinted at him, and said in his heart: If you find an opportunity, you have to fold this kid's sharpness. It turned out that he had always been hostile to the people of the Beiyuan tribe, and he regarded Xu Ying as his daughter, and he was extremely protective of his shortcomings, so he had already made up his mind at this time to find an opportunity to fight alone with Tuoyu and humiliate this "birdman" in public.

Seeing Lan Yu's brutal words, Tuhuan forced himself to hold back his anger, and said indifferently: "The leader of our three clans, I hope to sit down and talk with General Lan, I don't know what the general thinks?" ”

"The battle between the two armies is up to the general. Other matters are decided by His Royal Highness King Ning, the fourth prince of His Majesty Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty. Lan Yu said as she squinted at Zhu Quan on the side.

Zhu Quan saw that Tuhuan's nose was almost crooked to Lan Yu, and he had to be patient, he couldn't help but laugh, rode his horse to Tuhuan's side, and said proudly: "Since your ministry and other three major tribes have the heart to negotiate peace, then we will not move on both sides, and we will set up a tent between the two armies, and later ask the head of your department to lead a hundred guards to meet with the big tent." ”

Seeing that this Han boy who gave a horse to his sister Su Lan in his army last night, and then rescued him, was His Royal Highness King Ning of the Ming Dynasty, he couldn't help but be surprised, and heard what Zhu Quan said, which was very fair, so he also smiled and nodded, and rode back. When he was riding the horse, he couldn't help but look back at the strict military appearance of the Ming army, and the figures of Zhu Quan, Lan Yu and others, and said in his heart: I thought that the son of the emperor of the Han people, with a noble status, must be pampered, but I didn't expect him to be so bold that he dared to hide alone in the Han caravan and come to the camp of my tens of thousands of troops.

Zhu Quan saw Tuohuan and the others leaving, turned his head to look at Lan Yu's indifferent attitude with a solemn face, and the army of 30,000 tigers and wolves behind him, but he was very emotional in his heart, and said: A weak country has no diplomacy, and it is really a wise saying in ancient times when the nomadic tribes in the north of the desert are surrounded by wolves and smoke, and it is also an undeniable fact that looks at human society thousands of years later. Without a strong army as the guarantee of a country, it is impossible to defeat others, and it is only a fool's dream to talk about peace. Recalling that above the temple of the Ming Dynasty before the expedition, a group of scholars in the prosperous land south of the Yangtze River vigorously opposed the expedition, and couldn't help but sneer slightly.

When Lan Yu heard that Zhu Quan and Tuhuan had negotiated, he immediately ordered his 100 soldiers to set up an extremely solid and wide cowhide tent in the open space between the two armies.

Zhu Quan saw that the tent had been set up, so he immediately led Qin Zhuofeng, Xu Ying, Ma Sanbao, Jing Jun, and Sima Chao to lead the 100 Ming troops led by 100 households under Lan Yu to ride their horses towards the big tent.

The deputy general Wang Bi was worried about Zhu Quan's safety, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Your Highness, these Mongolian Tatars are fierce and cunning, it is better to wait for their leaders to go to the big tent first, and then you can go." ”

Zhu Quan looked at the extremely solid cowhide tent and said with a smile: "Based on what I have seen in the alliance army of the three clans, when dealing with them, you can't show the slightest weakness, they don't have firearms or artillery, our 30,000 army is close at hand, what can I do?" In this case, let's simply be generous and don't underestimate this group of barbarians who think they are invincible in the world. ”

Lan Yu rode his horse and looked around, only to see the Ming soldiers behind the cavalry, all of them were crossbows wound, the guns were loaded, even the cannons had been loaded, and the gunners were all holding torches, standing on the side of the guns, ready to bombard the Yuan army at any time, and couldn't help but be very satisfied. After instructing his deputy Wang Bi to say a few words, he rode his horse to follow Zhu Quan and galloped towards the newly built tent between the two armies.

Before arriving at the big tent, a hundred soldiers under Lan Yu's command stood solemnly outside the tent under the leadership of the hundred households. Zhu Quan and Lan Yu sat on the main seat in the tent, and Qin Zhuofeng and the others stood beside them.

Guili, the leader of the Qierjisi tribe, saw Zhu Quan with his bare eyes, and Lan Yu and the others only took more than a hundred soldiers to the big tent, and hurriedly whispered to Wanfu Dato beside him: "I will find an opportunity in a while, and propose to let our people compete with the Ming army, if you can take advantage of the chaos to kill Lan Yu's hairy boy, you will immediately wave your army and rush to kill the Ming army." After the order was completed, he led Arutai, Mahamu and his son to the big tent.

Qin Zhuofeng saw Zhu Quan swaggering upright, his heart was very uneven, and he thought: Next time I won't pretend to be any more sergeant, the apprentice sits comfortably, and I, the master, are standing behind him, what kind of system is it?

As soon as Gui Lichi entered the big tent, he looked at Zhu Quan and Lan Yu, and then looked at the furnishings of the Han people around him, and muttered a few words.

After listening to Gui Lichi's guards translate in rough Chinese, Zhu Quan and Lan Yu understood why he was asking why he didn't sit on the ground according to the rules of the Yuan clan in the big tent?

Lan Yu sneered: "The land of Liaodong here is owned by my Ming Dynasty, you wait to come here, don't you follow our etiquette, but do you have to follow your rules?" How can this really be true? ”

Zhu Quan looked at the chair he was sitting on, and suddenly smiled: "In order to show respect for you, let's each have our own rules, General Lan and I will sit on the ground according to the rules of the Han people, and you will sit on the ground according to the customs of the grassland tribe." Speaking of this, he instructed Jing Jun, Sima Chao said: "Remove the chair and spread the sheepskin carpet." ”

Hearing this, Tuohuan suddenly smiled and said: "As the saying goes, guests are as they are pleased, and my father and I sit on chairs." So saying, he and his father went to the last two chairs and sat down.

At this time, not only Arutai, but also Gui Lichi looked at where Zhu Quan and Lan Yu were sitting, and also understood, raised his hand to stop Jing Jun and Sima Chao, came to the two chairs and sat down, and said in his heart: You said it nicely, what are the rules of each according to itself? You sit on the chairs, let's sit cross-legged on the ground, and before we can start talking, we will be dwarfed. It looks like a captive being interrogated by you.

Zhu Quan waited for Jing Jun and Sima Chao to finish serving tea to everyone, and said to Tuhuan with a smile: "You just said it well, the guest is as the host, of course you have to obey the host's arrangement, but you are here with tens of thousands of troops, according to our rules, guests can only bring gifts, how can there be guests with swords and swords?" "He doesn't fight with Qin Zhuofeng for a day on weekdays, but he is uncomfortable, and he is good at all, and he is also very enterprising, and he is not weaker than martial arts at all.

As a matter of difficulty, he said: "I and the other three tribes do not want to be enemies of the Great Ming Dynasty, just because they belong to the Mobei royal court, they have no choice but to respect the holy decree of His Majesty the Emperor of the Northern Yuan. ”

"In that case, please take these tens of thousands of horses home." Zhu Quan said lightly.

Arutai looked at Gui Lichi and Tuhuan father and son on the side, and suddenly said with a smile: "I wonder if Your Highness can allow me and the other three tribes to benefit from trade and mutual market on behalf of the Ming Imperial Court?" Trade us some salt, silk, porcelain, iron, tea, wine, etc.? "Although he is not a rebellious and domineering tribal leader such as Gui Lichi on the surface, he is also a scheming person, seeing that His Royal Highness King Ning and Lan Yu of the Ming Dynasty are both young and vigorous people, I hope to use good words to trick him into agreeing to the transaction. Other things are not enough, this iron tool is necessary for the formation of cavalry, not only to make knives, spears and other weapons are essential, but also tens of thousands of war horses need horseshoe, that is not a small number.

Lan Yu heard Arutai say it lightly, and was afraid that Zhu Quan would not pay attention, so he agreed to his request, and hurriedly stretched out his hand under the table and waved it lightly, signaling Zhu Quan not to agree.
