"All the baggage has you brought?" Xu Huizu asked.

"All of them have been brought, all of them are loaded in the car, and the subordinates have ordered them to unload the baggage before they came to report to the two generals, please ask the general to indicate whether to send them to the baggage camp or stay in our camp?" Yang Feng asked.

"Just stay in your camp. Most of those baggage weights are weapons handed over by the emperor to the guards, and other guards will not use them; Besides, the baggage camp is not close to the barracks of your department, so it is not easy to transport. Xu Huizu said.

"Yes, General." Yang Feng nodded in agreement.

Xu Huizu asked a few more words and let him go down.

When he retreated, Lan Zhen asked, "Brother Xu, in your opinion, will Yang Feng fight a war?" ”

"He? It's hard to say just a few glances, and I never paid attention to him when he was a guard next to His Majesty in the past. Xu Huizu paused and said.

Lan Zhen's face showed disappointment. Although Yun Xi promoted Zhang Fu by leaping the rank and Zhang Fu also proved his ability, the generals of the Ming Dynasty did not fully believe in the emperor's vision and still had some doubts, and Xu Huizu was recognized as having a good eye, so at this time Lan Zhen asked him.

"The reason why I see people better than you is because I never make a decision after a few glances. I have to look at him for a few more days before I can assert it, before I dare to assert it. Xu Huizu said again.

"I also know that because the emperor handed over all the guards to you, you are afraid that the loss will be too big to explain. Let Yang Feng fight in the past few days and try his level. ”

"It's not just the loss of the upper guard. Yang Feng himself is also the concubine of the eldest princess of Zhongshan, and Her Royal Highness the princess is already there, and I heard that the princess really likes him. If Yang Feng has an injury, it is not a good thing. Lan Zhen said honestly. He is very familiar with Xu Huizu, so he will speak directly.

"It really has to be considered." Xu Hui Zu said. Her Royal Highness the Princess has been canonized for the second time, and if she is really killed or disabled in battle, it is impossible for Her Majesty to be without mustard. What's more, Her Royal Highness the princess still likes it, likes?

Thinking of this, Xu Huizu suddenly came to his senses and asked Lan Zhen: "The eldest princess of Zhongshan likes horses?" How do you know? ”

"Ahh Lan Zhen immediately covered her mouth with a look of remorse. I didn't know about this matter from the outside, and he only found out when Siqi said that he leaked his mouth, so he couldn't spread it at will.

"Brother Xu, I'm vaguely hearing that there is such a thing, and I don't know if it's true or not. You can't just say that. It was me Meng Lang just now. ”

Xu Huizu glanced at him and did not speak. Lan Zhen must have some definite news, maybe it was Lan Siqi who told him. But since he didn't want to say more, that's it.

Xu Huizu talked to him about business: "Yang Feng's five Shangzhiwei more than 50,000 people have arrived under Yiwu City, and we have a total of more than 470,000 people now, so don't be afraid of Timur." ”

"But I think it's still necessary to fight steadily, not be greedy for merit, and wait for the opportunity to send troops. What's more, there are tens of thousands of troops coming behind us, don't worry. ”

"These tens of thousands of soldiers in the back," Lan Zhen showed a look of contempt on his face: "Except for the few people sent by His Royal Highness King Ning, the others have no combat effectiveness at all, and even if they arrive in Yiwu City, they are just a waste of food." ”

"You can't say that. Every guard and even the barbarians are useful. Xu Huizu said immediately.

Lan Zhen didn't refute Xu Huizu's words again, but looking at his expression, he was still very disapproving. Xu Huizu couldn't either.

The two of them discussed a few more words, and Lan Zhen was about to leave to deal with the affairs of the former army, when suddenly one of Xu Huizu's guards walked in and reported loudly: "My lord, General Lan, Yili sent the great sweat and Sha Michagan to bring the troops to come and ask to see your lordship." ”

"Shami Chagan? He dared to come! When Lan Zhen heard this name, he immediately became very angry: "He led 40,000 cavalry, of which 10,000 were allocated to him by His Royal Highness the King of Qin, so he was counting on him to contain the soldiers of the Western Captives outside, but what has he been doing these days, there is no trace outside Yiwu City." ”

"Brother Xu, Shami Chagan is not reliable at all, it is better for us to pretend to accept Shami Chagan and let him lead troops to be stationed nearby. Then he took away the soldiers in his hands with both hard and soft. ”

"This," after listening to Lan Zhen's suggestion, Xu Huizu was silent for a moment and said, "No, it's still useful to check Sha Mi now, you can't just take his soldiers." ”

"Brother Xu! These Mongols are not trustworthy at both ends, and even if he comes to take refuge with his troops now, it is only because our army has relieved the siege of Yiwu City, and the subsequent battles are still fought. If our army is at a disadvantage, I am afraid that he will turn his head and kill the Ming soldiers in his hands first, and then lead them to attack our army with all his strength. Lan Zhen stood up and said.

"I know what you said. But for now he's useful. Xu Huizu said: "Although he won't make too much effort to fight, after all, he won't throw himself on Timur's side for the time being; If we take his men and horses now, firstly, the Mongols under his command will not be willing to fight when they come to our hands, and secondly, the other tribes in Yili Jiangli, who are hiding in the south, will be very suspicious of me, and it will be even more difficult to subdue them later. ”

"Brother Xu, why are you thinking about what will happen after you win the battle now! Before leaving, His Majesty specially explained that this battle must not be won first and then fought, so as not to carelessly underestimate the enemy. We haven't defeated the West yet, but it's not time to think about it. Lan Zhen said.

Xu Huizu was stunned. Lan Zhen's words do make sense, and she thinks a little too much.

But he thought about it again, and felt that even if he captured these 30,000 horses, it would be of little use, so he said to one of the guards: "You go to find His Royal Highnesses King Jin and King Gaoping, and invite the two Highnesses to come over." But if they were with His Royal Highness King Qin, they didn't have to invite them over, but just reported that Yang Feng had already commanded the troops. ”

The guards were commanded. Lan Zhen knew that he didn't invite Zhu Shangbing, the king of Qin, to come to discuss because he had been besieged in Yiwu City for twenty days before, and he was afraid that he would have a grudge against Sha Michagan, who had not shown up all this time. However, Xu Huizu also made sense to do this, and he couldn't object.

After a while, Zhu Ji, the king of Jin, came over, listened to Xu Huizu say this, and after thinking for a while, he said: "It's better to see Sha Mi Cha and do it first, and then make a conclusion." ”

……

……

"Yili Jiangli Guojun, our prince and General Xu are invited." One of the guards walked up to Shami Chagan and straightened up.

Sha Michagan didn't care about this humiliation, took out two small silver ingots of five taels and handed them to him, and asked softly, "This lord, may I ask how His Royal Highness King Qin is feeling?" ”

The guard did not immediately reach out to take the silver, but waited for him to finish the question he wanted to ask, then took the silver from his hand and said, "Who told you that His Royal Highness the King of Qin summoned you?" It is His Royal Highness the King of Jin. ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin?" Sha Micha was stunned. He knew that there was a King of Jin in the Ming Kingdom, but it was said that the fief was far away from here, so how could he suddenly appear in Yiwu City?

"It's His Royal Highness the King of Jin. Don't stand here, Your Highness and General Xu are waiting. The guard said again. He was a guard beside Jixi, and when he came to Yiwu and heard about the 'glorious history' of Shami Chagan, he looked down on him very much, and he spoke politely at all.

Sha Micha paused and decided to go with him to meet this King of Jin and Xu Huizu. It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, since he came to join the Ming army again, he was expected to be humiliated, as long as he didn't kill himself.

"If you had led your troops to appear near Igo Castle, even if it was only once, you wouldn't have to be so passive at this time. Sha Michagan couldn't help but sigh. However, although he sighed like this, if he was given another chance, he would definitely lead his troops away from Igo City. Timur's cavalry was not weak, and if he was discovered, he might have been wiped out. Even if the army is not wiped out, these 30,000 people are almost his last old bottom, and if he is wiped out, he can only find a cemetery in advance.

Shami Chagan followed the guard into the barracks. They came to a large tent, and the guard whispered a few words to the guard, and the guard entered. After a while, he heard a voice: "Please Yili put Shamichagan, the king of Lihan, into the account." ”

Sha Mi Chagan hurriedly walked in, and when he saw a person dressed similar to Shang Bing, he immediately bowed down and said, "Yili has seen His Royal Highness the King of the Ming and Jin Dynasty. He said to Xu Huizu again: "I've seen General Xu." ”

Seeing his respectful attitude, Ji Xi was happy in his heart, stepped forward to help him up and said, "There is no need to be so polite, I am just a prince, and I am the same rank as the monarch, so the monarch does not have to salute me." ”

"How can this be the same?" Shami Chagan continued to speak respectfully.

He also had no choice. He knew that he and his father's original disguised Yili had completely pierced the relatively powerful outer skin of the Li Kingdom this time, and it was impossible to maintain his position in the future, and his status was directly reduced to the same as that of the Uliang Ha Sanwei - the leader of the Uliang Ha Sanwei was only a commander at this time, and he was called by several princes in the northeast, and he did not dare to disobey his orders at all - he could only lower his posture, so that after the Ming Kingdom won this war, he would still rule the Gurbantunggut Basin, instead of changing to another person.

Perhaps it was his low profile that played a role, although Ji Xi asked a few questions, he still let him go, let him lead troops to be stationed near Geng Xuan's headquarters, and provided him with food and grass.

"But this time, the soldiers in the army must obey the unified dispatch of the army, and if there is anything that does not respect the military order, General Xu will deal with the generals in charge." Ji Xi said.

"I know. Never dare to obstruct the law of marching. Sha Micha said hurriedly. But he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

Ji Xi said a few more words to him and told him to step down.

As soon as Shami Chagan went down, Ji Xi immediately said to Xu Huizu: "Brother Xu, the army guards the Shami Chagan Department, and it is best to send someone to infiltrate his army." ”

"Why is that?" Xu Huizu asked.

Ji Xi whispered a few words in his ear, Xu Huizu understood, and said, "I know, arrange it immediately." ”
