On the night of September 28.

At the station of the Datong Mansion Guard, the camp was brightly lit at this time, and the three thousand Ming troops lined up neatly with torches on the martial arts field.

Xu Yingxu glanced at the hourglass and shouted, "When the time comes, start acting." ”

The camp gate was wide open, and half of the 3,000 Ming troops rode war horses, and the other half rode bicycles.

They came all the way to the main gate of Datong Mansion.

After the torches flickered and extinguished three times above the gates, the gates opened, and the wagons flowed out.

The two teams merged into one team without any communication, and then came all the way to the northwest of Datong Province.

Xu Yingxu let the two thousand households lead the team in front, and he came to the fifth carriage in the center of the convoy.

"Brother."

A female voice in the carriage almost frightened Xu Yingxu to jump out of the carriage.

He took out the fire fold and took a look, only to find that it was Xu Miaoqing, and next to her was Zhu Gui, who was a little embarrassed.

"Lord, princess, why are you here?"

Zhu Gui tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "You ask her, I was pulled by her." ”

Xu Miaoqing said disappreliantly: "I can't sleep, come out for a walk." ”

Xu Yingxu said angrily: "Nonsense, do you know how confidential this matter is? Once it is discovered by the imperial court, it will be lost. ”

"Aren't you here yet, brother? Can you come, why can't I? Xu Miaoqing retorted.

Xu Yingxu was speechless for a while, looked at Zhu Gui on the side, and wanted him to say a few words, but the latter spread his hands and said: "If this king could convince her, he wouldn't be here." ”

"Brother, don't be angry, what do you see I brought? Supper, it's a dish from the recently opened Yanchun House in Datong Mansion, and I heard that the chef there is very famous, and you have to queue up every day to enter. ”

Xu Miaoqing took out a food box and began to serve dishes outside.

Soon, the carriage was filled with the smell of vegetables.

Now, Xu Yingxu also knew that it was useless to say more, so he could only sit down, pull his face, and say nothing.

Zhu Gui was already used to it, and he said while eating: "Not bad, familiar taste." ”

"Familiar taste? Why didn't I eat it? Where have you eaten it before? Xu Miaoqing asked.

Seeing that the couple sang and didn't care about Xu Yingxu at all, he didn't want to be angry, so he picked up the chopsticks and tasted it.

"Well, this tastes good, this Yanchun Building is really a bit of a doorway."

Xu Yingxu's expression changed, and he was full of praise.

……

An hour later, the horses and chariots finally arrived at the intended place of trading.

There are already thousands of Mongol cavalry waiting here.

It seems that they are paying more attention to this deal than to the Datong side.

After receiving the report from the pro-soldiers, Zhu Gui and Xu Yingxu came to the front of the team together, while Xu Miaoqing stayed in the carriage.

"I've seen the prince." Heimuhan was still among the three Mongol chieftains in charge of the deal.

"You can take these convoys back with you."

Zhu Gui ordered his own soldiers, and the convoy immediately went to the Mongol ranks.

The expressions of the three Mongol leaders all became excited.

"Here are a thousand war horses, happy to cooperate." Heimuhan asked dozens of Mongolian herders to drive the horses over.

When they wanted to leave, Zhu Gui suddenly said: "These herdsmen should stay, go back and send their families over, and I will pay ten stones of salt in exchange." ”

The leader of the Mongolian tribe, who had been a little hesitant, immediately agreed when he heard the 'Ten Stone Salt'.

Naturally, the dozens of herdsmen had nothing to say.

Just as the transaction between the two sides was coming to an end, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

A Mongolian cavalryman came running and shouted, "A cavalry is approaching this way." ”

"Who is it?" Hei Muhan asked with a wary expression.

The other two Mongol leaders also looked at Zhu Gui with a panicked expression, as if they were thinking that this cavalry was the army of the Ming people.

Zhu Gui said helplessly: "It's not the king's person, don't you ask how many people there are first?" ”

The cavalryman breathed a sigh of relief and said, "More than a thousand." ”

"Could it be King Yan's cavalry?" Hei Muhan looked at Zhu Gui.

"Probably not, but be prepared." Zhu Gui frowned slightly.

The teams on both sides are arranged in defensive formations.

It's just that compared to the neat formation of the Ming army, there was not much change on the Mongol side, but it was just a change of direction.

Soon, a detachment of Mongolian cavalry appeared not far away.

"Mongols? What's going on here? Zhu Gui looked at Hei Muhan and the other three Mongolian leaders and asked.

"We don't know, but please don't misunderstand, before coming, all the ministries of our grassland have already made it clear, and we are responsible for this transaction."

Hei Muhan hurriedly explained.

And the Mongols on the opposite side obviously didn't expect that there were so many troops here, but they didn't seem to notice the Ming army, and the leader ran to the front and said, "But the Black Wood Tribe? ”

Heimuhan rode out and said, "I'm Heimuhan, which tribe are you from?" ”

"I'm from the Chaha tribe, and I now order you to send troops to help me immediately." The Mongol said in a commanding tone.

"The Chaha tribe? Aren't you a tribe from Ningxia? Why did you come here? What happened? Hei Muhan wondered.

"Because of the outbreak of war, we have broken through the border city of Ningxia, but the war is in a state of anxiety, so we specially ordered you to go to support."

The Mongol explained impatiently.

Here Zhu Gui and Xu Yingxu had already heard it, and the two glanced at each other.

"Lord Wang, what should I do? The current situation is very unfavorable for us, and once they find out about us, I am afraid that there will be a conflict, should we do it first? ”

Zhu Gui nodded and said, "You take two thousand people to outflank you from the rear, and this king is holding on here." ”

"But what if these Mongols join the fight?"

Xu Yingxu asked a little uneasily.

"Rest assured, they should know what to do."

Zhu Gui said lightly.

Xu Yingxu did not doubt him, and immediately entered the rear troops, and began to lead people to retreat, wanting to detour from another direction.

The movement of two thousand people was not small, and the Mongols of the Chakha tribe immediately noticed it.

"Who are they? Ming? What the hell is going on? Have you surrendered to the Ming people? The Mongol cavalry shouted.

Hei Muhan was about to explain, but Zhu Gui shouted: "Do it." ”

Behind him were a hundred soldiers who had originally come with the convoy.

The flintlock pistol whistled out in front of him, and there was a burst of people rolling on their backs and screaming.

The faces of Heimuhan and the three Mongol leaders beside him were extremely ugly.

They didn't know which side to be on for a moment.
