The young man at the head smiled slightly, jumped off his horse and picked Meng Hong up and said: "Meng Guji, my name is Ma Da, I am the grandson of the Mongolian Dayan Khan, Tumut Wanhu, and my father Balsborot is the co-owner of the steppe!" ”

When Meng Hong heard this, he was so frightened that he almost couldn't kneel, he never thought that the person in front of him was actually the prince of the Tatars!

I replied that he seemed to be very satisfied with the other party's reaction, smiled slightly, and said to Meng Hong in standard Chinese: "Meng Guerrilla doesn't need to be afraid, as long as you cooperate with us, and when you return to the grassland in the future, I will reward you with 10,000 cattle and sheep and 30 beauties!" ”

Meng Hong was already frightened at this moment, and kowtowed again and again: "Ten thousand households, but there is a drive, and the villain dares to disobey his fate?" ”

"Good!" I replied, "I heard that Wu Tingfang of your Jizhen town was dismissed from office, is there a candidate for succession now?" ”

Meng Hong said: "I heard that Liu Gui, the chief soldier of Sichuan, has been appointed by the imperial court as the chief soldier of Jizhen, but Liu Gui is on his way. ”

When I heard this, I was happy in my heart, Jizhen was like a sharp sword hanging over his head, as long as he went south, Jizhen was a great threat to him.

But now, the chief soldier of Jizhen has not yet arrived, which is a godsend for him to go south.

"What other soldiers and horses does Wei Ting have around here now?"

Meng Hong thought for a while and said: "Back to ten thousand households, from Ma Lanyu through Jixian County, Sanhe and then west is Tongzhou, and after Tongzhou is Jingshi Shuntianfu!" ”

"Along the way, there are Yingzhou Right Tunwei, Zhenshuo Wei, Yingzhou Houtun Wei, and Xingzhou Houtun Wei."

"When you arrive in Tongzhou, there are Dingbian guards and Shenwu Zhongwei!"

"There are more than 200,000 people in Jingying and Jingwei in Shuntianfu!"

As soon as I heard this guard, that guard, I immediately frowned.

[Reincarnated Ming King] Zhao Quan on the side whispered: "Ten thousand households, these guards are useless shelves, and once the army arrives, it will fall apart!" ”

"Only the Beijing camp outside Beijing is a bit troublesome!"

I replied that I followed my father and brother to the south several times, so I naturally knew what virtues those guards were.

Even the five military battalions, the three thousand battalions, and the Shenji battalion in the Beijing camp are now in decay.

But what bothers him is that if he follows this route, it will be difficult not to leak the news.

He went south to fight the grass valley this time, if the news leaked and Wei Ting was prepared, and then there would be a strong wall and clear the wilderness, it would be troublesome.

"Is there any other way?" I replied and looked at Meng Hong.

Meng Hong thought for a long time, and then he said, go south from Ma Lanyu, pass by Shimen Town and Yutian, and then turn west, you can bypass most of the guards, but you can still crash into the territory of Yingzhou Qiantun near the Xianghe.

When I heard this, I was immediately overjoyed: "Tongzhou? When we arrived in Tongzhou, we were discovered by Wei Ting, maybe we have already rushed into Beijing! Hahaha! ”

A kind of Tatar general on the side laughed in unison with me, causing the people of Malanji who were surrounded to tremble!

At this time, Zhao Quan held a knife on Meng Hong's neck and said, "Meng Guerrilla, are you having something unfinished?" How did I hear that two guards were stationed near Ma Lanyu recently? ”

Meng Hong suddenly shouted: "Ten thousand households, ten thousand households, I really didn't mean to hide it, it's just that these two Jingwei are just recruited, and even the two are not yet full, and there are only three or four thousand recruits when they are full!" ”

Zhao Quan snorted, probably he had never seen this kind of Han bastard who was more than himself, he was like a dog competing for favor in front of his master, he glanced at Meng Hong, turned his head and replied to me: "Wanhu, don't listen to him, Jingwei and these two guards are Wei Ting's concubines, and the new army that Xu He, the champion of the dynasty, was trained by Emperor Zheng!" ”

"Among these people, most of them are Jurchen Ahha, and they are very good at riding and shooting! Don't be careful! ”

When I heard this, I immediately asked curiously: "Xu He? I've heard his name! ”

Zhao Quandao: "This person started from the county exam, passed all the way, no one in the reading field can match, he is the leader in every exam, and was later recruited by the emperor as a concubine and trusted!" ”

"Wanhu, as I told you before, Luojiao is all over the world in Hefei, and the bad thing is in the regimental training organized by this person - the coastal defense battalion!"

"Lord Wanhu must not take this person lightly!"

Meng Hong shouted and said: "Lord Wanhu, as long as the army passes Shimen Town tonight, even the Kuanhe Institute will not be able to find us, let alone Xu He's two guards!" ”

"Broad River?" I don't know why.

Zhao Quan hurriedly explained: "It is a small fort built by Wei Ting on the Kuanhe River, and there are only more than 100 troops stationed in the fort!" Kuanhe is located between Ma Lanyu and Zunhua! ”

I replied: "Then hurry up, everyone get on the horse, and rush to Xianghe tomorrow morning!" ”

"Yes!"

……

I replied and picked up Meng Hong and said, "Meng Guerrilla, how is it?" Are you going to follow us, or are you ......?"

Looking at the young Wanhu who was squinting, Meng Hong was full of wit and hurriedly said: "Naturally, I am loyal to Lord Wanhu before and after the saddle, but my subordinates have a reluctant request!" I hope that the Lord of Ten Thousand Households promises! ”

"Say!"

Meng Hong turned his head to look at the people of Ma Lanji who were surrounded by Tatar soldiers, and said with a fierce light in his eyes: "Meng Hong is dead, please kill these Wei people and protect my nine clans!" ”

I replied with a slight surprise, and then he whipped his horsewhip and galloped out, and said from afar: "Accurate! ”

……

Just when so many things happened in Ma Lanyu, Xu He was resting in the old camp, and in the second half of the night, he was suddenly woken up.

The captain of the pro-soldier Xing Hu said: "My lord, all the sentinels of the Kuanhe River in the west have returned, and in the middle of the night they heard the movement of a large army!" ”

Xu He slept grogily, and when he heard this, he woke up instantly.

At this time, there is a large army marching in the middle of the night, what is going on?

He hurriedly asked Xinghu to call the person into the account. and called Tan Lun, Zhou Bi, He Yu, Li Yi and others all up.

When everyone had gathered, Zhou Bi asked the man, "Who are you from?" ”

"Hui Yu, the villain is Chang San, a subordinate of Li Shichang!"

"Chief Li? Lee Sung-liang? Xu He asked.

"Exactly!"

"Isn't Li Chengliang in Huoyaling? How did you get to the Kuanhesho in the west? ”

Zhou Bi hurriedly explained: "The sentry is changed every ten days, and Li Chengliang happens to be arranged to go to the Kuanhe Institute!" ”

Xu He nodded and looked at Chang San: "What is the specific situation, you can tell me!" ”

"In the middle of the night, the villain got up to relieve himself, and heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, but the distance was too far to hear it really, and the villain went back to the sentry to tell the chief, and the chief went to the sentry to inquire about the news!"

"How? What kind of centaur is it? ”

"The sound of the night is far away, and there are all mountain roads near the Kuanhe Station, the brother of the sentry will investigate the situation and it will take an hour to go back and forth, Li Shichang asked me to come back first to report this matter, so that the old camp can be prepared!"

Xu He nodded with satisfaction and said, "On the way back, bring some wine to warm up, don't freeze!" ”

Chang San knelt on the ground and said movingly: "Lord Xie! ”
