Jiang Ning waited beside Zhu Houzhao, looking at the flowers who came quickly and paid a big salute, only to know that the so-called envoy Aslan that day was himself.

The vigilance of Hua Dang in his heart couldn't help but increase a little.

With the end of various ceremonies, Zhu Houzhao and Hua Dang climbed to the top of Baishan Mountain together.

At the top of the mountain, Jiang Ning had already ordered someone to build a Huimeng Pavilion.

There is also a large tent in the pavilion, which is used as the official canonization of the alliance and the place where the credentials are signed.

At this time, Hua Dang knelt on one knee, raised his hands high, and carefully took the canonization edict and the golden seal rune that Zhu Houzhao handed him.

"Minister, Guiyi Wang Huadang, I wish Your Majesty a long life, and the Ming Dynasty will prosper!"

Zhu Houzhao smiled and picked up the flower and signed the national credentials of the alliance with him.

Then, it was time to eat, drink, and celebrate.

With a few glasses of hot wine, the atmosphere in the tent became more and more enthusiastic.

Hua Dang was slightly drunk, and in an excited mood, he actually came directly to the center and danced a dance for Zhu Houzhao himself.

Although the dance is bold and rough and not very elegant, Zhu Houzhao still watches it with relish.

Jiang Ning's face was also filled with a happy smile.

Since this King Guiyi likes to dance so much, he will invite him to the capital to dance in the future.

I can't say that I can form a dance troupe with the little prince and the fire screen.

Suddenly, Jiang Ning noticed that there was a look on him for a while, and subconsciously looked at it, and saw that it was Hua Dang's personal guard.

But he is not as tall as ordinary people, but his face is white, and his lips are red and his teeth are white.

Only the more three-dimensional facial features than the Han people show that he is still a Mongolian.

Jiang Ning didn't think much about it, and responded with a kind smile.

saw that the guard immediately turned his face away, as if he was hiding something.

It's a little weird.

At this moment, a burst of cannon roared into the sky.

There was a sudden silence in the tent.

Jiang Ning's face changed slightly.

This is a sign of hostility!

He hurried out of the tent to check on the situation.

Zhu Houzhao, Hua Dang and others saw this and followed suit.

I saw smoke rising from the surrounding mountains, and most of the soldiers and horses galloped at the foot of the mountain.

"This is indeed a trap you have set!

Chief, the Han people can't be trusted, let's gather people to break through! ”

Huadang's general, Agoura, roared violently, and took a few steps forward, wanting to take Zhu Houzhao as a hostage.

Bai Wenqing got Jiang Ning's instructions, took the guards to protect him to the death, and raised his crossbow to face Agoura.

As the swords of both sides were unsheathed, the atmosphere on the field became tense.

None of the previous pleasures.

Seeing that he would shoot at any time, Jiang Ning immediately shouted:

"Stop! King Guiyi, how can I do such a treacherous thing when I will go to heaven and keep my promises! ”

Hua Dang fell into hesitation.

Objectively speaking, there is really no need to do this.

Except for giving Ming Court a bad reputation, it is not good at all.

After all, the strength of Duoyan Sanwei is not as threatening as Tatar.

At this moment, a guard suddenly jumped out of the crowd, and it was the one who was staring at Jiang Ning before.

"Father, this Master Jiang is right.

If they really want to do it, they just do it quietly behind their backs, so why bother to make such a big splash and even light a beacon fire. ”

Jiang Ning could hear her crisp voice and the name of Huadang, and then he understood that it was his daughter.

It's probably the Miss Yaruo mentioned earlier.

"Yes, my dear Jaro, you are right, I made a fuss."

Hua Dang nodded, and asked the soldier behind him to put down his sword.

Jiang Ning immediately asked Bai Wenqing to stop, looked at Yaruo again, and praised: "The girl is quick and smart, Jiang admires her." ”

Yaruo laughed out loud, and said coquettishly: "Lord Jiang, don't hold me up, let's give us an explanation quickly." ”

When Jiang Ning heard this, he looked at Zhu Houzhao, and when he saw that he nodded to himself, he led people to the mountain pass to check the situation.

"General Xu?"

When I came to the foot of the mountain, I saw Xu Tai galloping with 5,000 cavalry, meeting with the original 5,000 men and horses, forming an army of tens of thousands and waiting in formation.

"My lord, 100,000 urgent!

The little prince drove straight in from the nearest Pohu Pass north of Datong, and led 50,000 iron horsemen to Baishan Mountain.

After receiving the news of the beacon fire in Datong City, General Yan immediately sent the last general to lead his troops to support.

Originally, he wanted to bring his troops in person, but he didn't want to lead his troops to attack Datong at this time, so he had to stick to the city with Governor Zhou, and it was difficult to draw more reinforcements. ”

Jiang Ning clenched his fists.

His worst fears have happened!

The damned White Lotus Sect has infiltrated to this point and can directly control the garrison of an important pass.

"Where is General Yang? Have you ever received a message? ”

"General Yan has sent someone to inform him, but most of General Yang's subordinates are foot soldiers, and I am afraid that I will not be able to support them, so please report to Your Majesty as soon as possible, so that I can make a decision!"

Jiang Ning nodded: "You lead your troops to hold the mountain pass first, and you don't allow the slightest mistake!" ”

As he spoke, he looked at Zhang He on the side and said, "You take 5,000 Beijing troops and cooperate with all General Xu's actions." ”

"Subordinates take orders!"

Zhang He knew that he was not very good at military affairs, so he immediately agreed.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Ning hurriedly returned to the top of the mountain, but saw that Zhu Houzhao had already re-entered the big tent with Hua Dang and others.

He put away his slightly annoyed countenance, changed to a hearty smile, and strode into the tent.

"Your Majesty, good news!

The little prince, who thought he was extremely smart, really took the bait and fell into the trap of our army. ”

Zhu Houzhao was slightly stunned, and then stroked his palms and laughed:

"Good, good! This little prince really deserves to grow up under the wings of a woman, without the Queen of Mandu Sea, this fang is nothing! ”

Jiang Ning smiled slightly.

He and Zhu Houzhao get along with the monarch and ministers, and many things don't need to be said explicitly, but they have a tacit understanding in them.

"Lord Jiang, are you talking about Dayan Khan leading his troops to attack Baishan Mountain?

How did he come to attack the gate? ”

Hua Dang opened his mouth and said in great surprise.

Jiang Ning smiled:

"It's all Your Majesty Shengming, who did not hesitate to risk his life, deliberately revealed the news of the alliance between the two sides to the little prince, and deliberately asked the general of the Pohu Pass to turn against him and lure him to attack.

Originally, we weren't sure if the little prince would fall for this.

Unexpectedly, he was really stupid, and he really came with his troops. ”

Jiang Ning said as he turned his back to Bai Wenqing and quietly made a gesture to him.

Bai Wenqing's eyes froze, and the guards changed their positions slightly without a trace, controlling the big tent.

And reached out and touched the saber bow and crossbow on his body, ready to move at any time.

And Hua Dang and the others, who were still surprised, didn't notice anything unusual at all.

Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

The purpose of what he did just now was to make Hua Dang and the others suddenly change after they knew the inside story.

"So why is that?

Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor must have the confidence to completely annihilate Dayan Khan?

That's tens of thousands of Tatar horsemen! ”

Hua Dang still couldn't believe it.

Zhu Houzhao probably understood Jiang Ning's meaning at this time, and immediately said:

"Hehe, what is the value of tens of thousands of horses, as long as the ambush we arranged earlier arrives, under the encirclement, no matter how many people and horses he has, he will definitely be defeated.

When the time comes, won't King Guiyi easily enter the grassland?

This is the greatest sincerity that Daming gives to Duoyan Sanwei! ”

Jiang Ning echoed:

"Yes, I have been planning this matter for a long time, and there will be no mistakes.

Please also ask the king and the princes to put their hearts in their stomachs and continue to drink and feast.

It is estimated that when we are full of food and drink, we will be able to pass the good news. ”

With that, he returned to his place, picked up a glass of wine, and said:

"This cup of wine is a tribute to Your Majesty, King Guiyi and the leaders of all the tribes, and I wish us a victory!"

Yaruo, who was standing behind Hua Dang, looked at Jiang Ning, who was calm and relaxed, and where he had a sense of righteousness, his beautiful eyes were full of color, and he was a little reluctant to remove his eyes.

Seeing this, Hua Dang basically believed most of it, and hurriedly raised his glass in return.

Jiang Ning took the opportunity to say again: "But King Guiyi knows that most of our army's troops are foot soldiers, and most of the cavalry that can be drawn out has already fought with the Tatars at the foot of the mountain.

It will take a long time for the pre-arranged ambush soldiers to rush to the encirclement.

Therefore, on this occasion, I would like to ask King Guiyi to send the elite of the Duoyan Sanwei under his command to fight against the little prince together with our army and strengthen the momentum.

In this way, it is appropriate to show the sincerity of the Guiyi Wang League, right?

Of course, it doesn't take many men, just a thousand cavalry is enough. ”

As he spoke, Jiang Ning walked to the center of the big tent, lifted the blanket, and pulled the wooden board hard, revealing a dark hole in the ground.

"The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and there are many stray arrows shooting, for the safety of Your Majesty and King Guiyi, please take refuge in the cave for a while."

Hua Dang lost himself in the title of "King Guiyi", and after a little thought, he waved his hand:

"What Lord Jiang said, His Majesty the Emperor was far-sighted and did not hesitate to use his body as bait, how could this king, as a courtier, stand by and watch.

Agoura! ”

"The last general!"

"You immediately lead the five thousand iron cavalry under the command of this king, obey the dispatch of Lord Jiang, and help the friendly army to attack the Tartars!"

Jiang Ning arched his hand: "With the thousands of elites of King Guiyi, the Tatars will definitely die!" ”

Immediately, he looked at Zhu Houzhao again, and saluted: "Your Majesty, the minister will go out to command first and see the battle situation." ”

"Jiang Qing goes, you don't have to pursue a quick victory, grind that little prince well, so that he is in awe of me from the bottom of his heart."

"Minister, take the order!"
