Following Shaning's safari team back to Daning City, relying on Shaning's identity to avoid the investigation of the city gate, Gu Huai returned to the inn where he was temporarily staying, and before the cup of leftover tea was finished, Wei Laosan's big black face appeared outside the window.

Seeing that he had been sneakily looking inside the house, Gu Huai reluctantly spoke: "Come in, it's all negotiated, no one is watching." ”

Wei Laosan, who was still dressed as a herdsman, breathed a sigh of relief, pushed the door in, crossed his legs on the kang, took off his shoes and buckled his toes over there: "My lord, it's really successful?" ”

"If nothing else," Gu Huai got up and opened the window to let the sour smell out a little, "but the next thing will be more and more troublesome." ”

Wei Laosan showed a trance-like look: "It's just such a letter... At the beginning, when you asked me to go, I still thought that most of this matter was going to be yellow, but it could really force King Ning to rebel? ”

"It's a conspiracy, who told King Ning and Duoyan Sanwei to have their own little abacus? Moreover, the example of our prince raising troops is in front, and it is impossible for the imperial court not to do anything to Ning Wangfu. ”

"I still think it's too risky... What if the court didn't do anything? When the time comes, will it really beat Daning? ”

Gu Huai paused: "Actually, I really made this plan at the beginning... You also know the terrain over there in Dengjiakou, it only takes half a day for the cavalry to attack Daning after coming out of the mountain, even if Ning Wangfu does not fall into this dilemma, the prince's army arrives outside Daning City, and King Ning can't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River, what else can he do when the time comes? ”

"Your Excellency, you're so bad..."

"It's a situation of survival in death, where can you risk no matter how risky you are? Now the Northern Army has made a wrong move and lost all the games, since this is the case, it is better to gamble bigger," Gu Huai said lightly, "It's really not good, if you lose Beiping, there will still be Daning and Liaodong as your backhand..."

This is the worst plan, and it is also Gu Huai's distrust of the original history, the real Battle of Jingjing, Beiping will not have problems, but now Gu Huai is more and more worried that some of the things he has done will have an unknown impact on the process of the Battle of Jingjing... For example, he can't figure out how the 500,000 army of the imperial court lost, and how Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, got on Zhu Di's thief ship.

I vaguely remember that it seemed that Zhu Di came to Daning as a guest, and pretended to be a retreat and asked Zhu Quan to help him write a book, but when he left, he took Zhu Quan on his hand and held the Duoyan Sanwei he controlled... But now it seems to be a fantasy story, Duoyan Sanwei has its own station, how can it appear in Daning? Chen Heng and Liu Zhen are not fools, and Songting Guan Daning Wei is not a decoration, how can he watch Zhu Di come to Daning to hang out, and he is not afraid of being held accountable by the imperial court afterwards?

The funniest thing is that Zhu Quan took his wife and children to send Zhu Di out of the city, but he was served in a pot... What did the person who compiled this history think about treating future generations as idiots?

Gu Huai thought that the most outrageous thing was that Lao Tzu had really become an idiot and took these seriously, before coming to Daning, he thought that he would just sit and watch the play, but it took so long to be on the right track...

Wei Laosan on the other side was still chattering: "My lord is really a god, I'll go to Duoyan Sanwei to find that stinky woman... Looking for that mango seed, guess what? That Yan Sanwei couldn't wait to offer her, the place was poor and cold, no one wanted to go except for the adult's carriage and horse shop, and the things of the carriage and horse shop were sold cheaply, and when I asked Mangzhong, I knew that it was the adult's arrangement... Did you think of this day when you entered Daning? ”

"Most things in this world are to take one step at a time, and there are not so many people like Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang who take one step and count three steps."

"What did you talk about with Princess Ning? I don't think Princess Naning is a good person, she can listen to adults? ”

This remark led to the previous scene, Gu Huai sighed softly, probably... It's a little regretful in my heart, right?

With such a beautiful body and such a noble identity, what kind of attraction is it for any man who is physically and mentally healthy? He Gu Huai is not a saint, how could he not have a little psychological fluctuation, and just calmly persuaded Shaning to put on his clothes?

But Shaning is too strange, sometimes very rational and sometimes very impulsive, Gu Huai really can't tell if that kind of thing really happened, what kind of trouble will be waiting for him in the future... And what is more important at the moment is King Ning and his Duoyan Sanwei.

He took another sip of cold tea and suppressed these thoughts.

……

"Actually, if you think about it... Maybe that's not a bad thing. ”

In King Ning's mansion, Zhu Quan closed his eyes, and after listening to Shaning's concise and capable narration, he thought for a moment and came to a conclusion.

The long time between Shaning's departure from the palace and his return is enough to weigh the pros and cons many times... The current situation is not worse than before, after all, this sudden change will not only make him scramble, but also calm down the fangs of Duoyan Sanwei.

It's just a pity that I made my own preparations during this time...

No, it's not a waste, and if things go well, there may be unexpected uses later.

And breaking the game often requires external force, the handwriting of the fourth brother's envoy broke the tranquility that Daning has always had, and the reason why he failed to make up his mind before was because he failed to see the possibility of winning? But where in the world are there so many things that bet on not losing, and these things help me to make a decision.

When there is no way out, people always want to give it a go, and probably they have become a red-eyed gambler like the fourth brother now.

But some things will not change, Daning must be his own, Duoyan Sanwei must also be his own, with Daning and Liaodong, there is still enough combat power, so that he can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight and negotiate the price with the imperial court, the fourth brother of Beiping can win the best battle, even if he can't win himself, he has to help him beat the northern border to a piece of erosion, and then the young nephew who became the emperor must be willing to talk about business with himself for the sake of the stability of the world... This can be regarded as his own retreat, it really can't be done, and it's not impossible to think about the method in the north, if Meng Yuan goes south, the imperial court still needs to block itself out of the pass...

After all, he is a smart person, it takes a short time to accept the reality, and then it takes even a shorter time to find a way to survive, Zhu Quan thinks that even if he loses slightly to the fourth brother in the war, he is still the top in the world, if he joins forces with the fourth brother, there will be a lot of room for maneuver.

It's just that these words are not good to say to Shaning, she is a woman who worships heroes, and such calculations will inevitably fall behind in her heart, and Zhu Quan has not been aware of some of her thoughts for so long, such as thinking that he is a vassal king who has the courage to resist like the fourth brother, and has the ability to resist, but Zhu Quan is not disgusted with this, and these places in Shaning are exactly what he likes.

But Duoyan Sanwei is in his hands... Sha Man couldn't get around, a hint of gloom flashed in Zhu Quan's eyes, this time I'm afraid I'm going to be sorry for Sha Ning.

Her eldest brother is not dead, and Duoyan Sanwei can't really become his own thing, at most he will be like now, between an obedient dog and a wolf who eats the master.

Looks like we're going to have to get ready... He rubbed Shaning's hair, his face full of pampering: "Thanks to you this time, my Shaning, she is really the best woman in the world... Let people go to Duoyan Sanwei and tell your brother that after all, they are a family, and I agreed to the previous things, so let them go south immediately. ”

A happy flush appeared on Shanning's face, he withdrew his hand and muttered to himself:

"O city gates..."

……

When it got dark, it began to rain, and the rain ran down the armor, and the soldiers left a place to shelter from the rain, and let the rain hit themselves.

The war horses of the Ming Dynasty are much more than those of the previous dynasties, but every year the war horses that come out of the horse farm, the best have to be sent to the Beijing camp, and the remaining war horses have to be divided by the border of the two directions in the northwest.

But what if it's not a god? For cavalry, the horse is his wife, no, phew, how can the wife be compared with the horse? For cavalry, horses are everything! An infantry without weapons can still be called infantry, but what about cavalry without horses? Dogs are inferior.

Therefore, every northern cavalry cherishes their horses very much, and they are fine if they are hungry for two days, but the horses must not be hungry, and it is okay to get wet in the rain, and the horses can have a place to hide.

Chen Ping, an authentic northerner and an authentic Ming cavalryman, took out a salt cake from his bag, let his horse hide under the tree lick it carefully, and let the rain hit his young face.

A comrade came over and wanted to order salt cakes, Chen Ping was expressionless, and he only said a word to roll, who had always been stingy with words.

In addition to sending his monthly military salary back to support his family, the rest was smashed on the food of his war horse, you bastards went to the kiln every month after paying their military salary, and now they are running to Lao Tzu to ask for it? Why don't you die?

Chen Ping felt the rough touch of the tip of his war horse's tongue, and felt the heat brought by the breath of the war horse in the cold rain, and he smiled happily.

For a wife who listened to the roar of the lion in Hedong when she returned home, this horse was much cuter than her wife.

patted the horse's neck, and followed him all the way from Xiaoqi to the comrades of the thousand households who came over again: "Boss, I heard Wei Laosan say before, you slaughtered ten southern soldiers in the camp outside Zhending City, is it really fake?" ”

"It's eleven," Chen Ping thought for a moment, "I remember clearly, Wei Laosan has five more than me." ”

"Then Wei Laosan said that he slaughtered fifty when he was drinking? Net bragging, I really thought he killed the gods and reincarnated. ”

Chen Ping smiled, he touched it again, took out a cooking cake and ate it.

He had a hunch that the trees were getting thinner and thinner, and he might have to go out of the forest.

Daning will certainly not be more difficult to fight than Zhending, and the defenders there will not be more ferocious than the Mongol barbarians, but after all, it is a long-distance battle, and at least respect must be there... And unlike before, when he went to the battlefield to fight and obey orders, now he is one of the five thousand households on this trip, and he is considered to be the leader of the group, and the more than 1,000 lives under his hands now depend on him.

Feeding the war horse salt cake is learned from the Mongols, so that the endurance of the war horse will be better, and the running will be faster, after fighting for so many years, these things have also learned a lot, but as his wife said, when he goes home and sleeps in the bed, he has to put a knife at the head of the bed, which is really not a good habit.

Speaking of which, I almost became a scout in the first place... Since ancient times, fighting scouts is the most dangerous, most of the people who can be scouts are vigorous figures in the army, not only alert, but also excellent personal martial arts, battlefield news is transmitted by human life and blood, and sometimes the news sent by scouts can even directly change the direction of the war.

Moreover, when the two armies intersect, the first thing to face is the scout, this kind of small-scale cavalry battle, which often ends with the direct death of one party, so there are very few people who can be selected as scouts, and even fewer scouts who can survive a few wars.

It's just a pity that the brother of Xiaoqi at the beginning, after so many days of fighting, there are few people alive, but Chen Ping can still accept it, the war is like this, someone has to die, either the Mongols or the Han, and this time there are Han people on both sides... It's just that when I went to give them a bereavement pension, I felt a little uncomfortable, and two of them were just like myself and had just become fathers.

The more I thought about it, the more blocked it became, but fortunately, after half of the cooking cake was eaten, the military order was handed down, and the cavalry who were the front army began to reorganize and prepare for the march, and Chen Ping also put the cooking cake into his arms.

Seven points full, not bad.

He touched the war horse he had chosen and was reluctant to take care of his subordinates, and squinted in the direction of the end of the mountain range.
