Xuanfu, the scorching sun is in the sky.

The Ming and Mongolian armies were facing each other, but they didn't mean to attack and defend head-on. Although the defenders left here at this time were only 20,000 or 30,000, and the Mongolian army under the city was 70,000 or 80,000, the latter still did not have the slightest intention of storming this important town on the border of the Ming Dynasty.

As for the reasons, one of them is naturally because the Mongolian people know that this Xuanhua City is strong, and even if they have several times the number of troops, they cannot easily attack it. At this point, their ancestors in the past have already exchanged blood and human lives for the most direct lesson. Even if the morale of the Ming defenders is low now, it will not change the characteristics of the Ming army.

But more crucially, there is a second reason, the Mongols have a trump card in their hands, and they are sure that by this they can take down this fortified city without blood. This trump card that can make them have such high hopes is, of course, the newly captured Great Tomorrow Son Zhu Qizhen.

Tumubao was defeated, the Great Emperor was captured, and the ministers and hundreds of thousands of generals who followed him were either killed or captured alive, and these people naturally became the most valuable bargaining chips in the hands of these Mongolian people.

Originally, he only planned to kill Zhu Qizhen first and spread his head all over the grassland to boost everyone's morale, so as to break through the Ming border defense in one fell swoop to achieve a long-cherished wish for many years. However, one of his patriarchs, Boyan Timur, strongly opposed and dissuaded him from this decision, and also proposed that holding the Ming emperor in his own hands would be more beneficial.

After listening to Boyan's persuasion, he accepted the idea of leaving Zhu Qizhen alive and planning to use it to extort gold, silver, property and food from the Ming court. Anyway, this kind of trick has not been done by the tribes on the grassland in the past, and it can be regarded as easy to master.

Just as he was about to send someone to the territory of the Ming Kingdom to convey the meaning of the blackmail, a person proposed to him a good idea that was even more unexpected to him.

This person was a palace eunuch who accompanied the Son of Heaven on the Northern Expedition, named Xining, and he also fell into the hands of the Mongols because of the defeat. This was just a powerless eunuch, and naturally he was even less valuable in the eyes of the people, and they did not even intend to waste precious food for him, and after finding out his identity, they wanted to behead him.

Before dying, this eunuch named Xining suddenly burst out with a strong will to survive, and while struggling desperately, he also shouted that he could help him enter the Central Plains smoothly first!

In fact, logically speaking, even if he shouted loudly, it would be useless to be afraid, because this was a large camp of the Mongolian people, and there were many grassland warriors around him who didn't even understand Chinese, so naturally they wouldn't care what he shouted. But it was also the death of this dead eunuch who should not be killed, and this shouting was actually listened to by Xuan Chengyuan, which made his heart move suddenly, and he faintly felt that this might be an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop the torture of Xining.

Xuan Chengyuan also fought against Daming first this time, in order to see Daming defeated by the Mongols with his own eyes, so that he could breathe a bad breath. But in the army, because everything was going well, he couldn't make any contributions. As a result, he is not very valued in the army, and his status as a Han is always despised. This made him very eager to make a great contribution to the first place, so that they could look at it differently.

But now that the situation of the Mongolian people is very good, it seems that there is no room for Xuan Chengyuan to play at all. Just when he was in distress, he suddenly heard Na Xining shouting these words, he naturally felt moved, and immediately came to the rescue.

When he rescued the person from the knife and brought it to the Yexian tent, so that he could explain his plan to the prairie hero, Xuan Chengyuan realized that he seemed to be a little too casual, if he couldn't say anything, he would definitely be blamed first.

And although he saw such a prisoner on Xuan Chengyuan's face, his face was not too good-looking, and he just stared at the trembling eunuch in front of him with a faint gaze: "Say, do you have any ideas to help me march into the Central Plains." If you can fulfill our wishes, I will keep you rich, if not, hum ......"

Frightened by Yexian's words, Xining beat a drum in her heart, and knelt there with a pale face and couldn't speak for a long time. After all, he is just a eunuch who has grown up in the palace since he was a child and has never seen anything in the world, and the pressure on him from such a murderous hero is unimaginable.

Seeing him like this, he didn't get angry at first, Xuan Chengyuan couldn't hold it anymore, and immediately threatened: "If you don't open your mouth again, I will personally escort you out and slaughter you!" ”

"I ...... I said......" Being frightened like this again, Xining came back to her senses from her panic, although she still stammered a little when she spoke, but finally opened her mouth: "Actually, it is not difficult to enter the Central Plains, as long as you ...... Just ......"

"Just what? Don't spit it out! Say it! This time, he was also a little anxious at first, and asked loudly. In the past two days, he has been feeling a headache about this, although this time they did get a big victory that has not been seen in a hundred years, and they also know that the Ming army has been greatly injured, as long as they enter the Central Plains, they can drive straight in, even if they can't really destroy the Ming Kingdom, they can also get a lot of benefits. But those few strong city passes still stood straight ahead, which made him hesitate.

Now, this shrunken guy actually said that it was not difficult to enter the Central Plains, which naturally made him feel impatient for a while, and he just wanted to know what to do immediately.

I said...... It's Your Majesty. Didn't you take your majesty? As long as he is revealed, in the name of my great tomorrow, let the generals defending the city open the city, and naturally everything will be solved! Xining was frightened by him, and he didn't stutter anymore, and poured beans into a bamboo tube to express his thoughts.

There was a sudden silence in the tent, and both Xian and Xuan Chengyuan showed strange looks, and they didn't say anything for a long time. After a while, the latter laughed: "It doesn't take much effort to break through the iron shoes and find nowhere to get them, it turns out that we have already mastered the key to entering the Central Plains!" ”

Ye Xian also laughed: "Okay! Just use the emperor of his Ming Kingdom to open their city, so that the Ming Kingdom is within easy reach for us! He believed that as long as the gate of the border gate could be opened, the Ming cities in the rear, and even the city of Beijing, could be captured by this method. This is really a very convenient way to play, not only is it efficient, but it will not cause any damage to the clan, and there is no better way in the world.

Happy, he first got up and walked to Xining, personally untied the rope on his body for him, and said with some excitement in his mouth: "This."

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Back we can attack the Central Plains, when you ...... What is your name? ”

Xining, who was still a little apprehensive, saw that the other party was reacting like this, and her heart suddenly settled, and she quickly replied with a flattering smile: "The slave maid is cheaply named Xining." ”

"Oh, Xining. Yes, this time we can enter the Central Plains, you should be the first to take the lead! He also laughed first, and reached out and patted Xining's shoulder twice, so that the latter suddenly lightened his bones a few pounds, and he was busy kowtowing again, saying that he didn't dare to be.

Subsequently, he first ordered someone to send Xining to the tent on the side to live, and then issued an order to summon his patriarchs and generals to come and discuss important matters. After doing this, he smiled and looked at Xuan Chengyuan, who was looking a little embarrassed at this time: "Mr. Xuan, don't worry, this Taishi is just talking." If you really talk about merit, this Xining can't compare to you. If you hadn't rescued him in time and brought him to me, how could we have such a good way to easily attack the Central Plains? ”

It was only at this time that Xuan Chengyuan's face looked better, and he was busy with a few modest words. Subsequently, when everyone came one after another, he also instructed him again: "Now there is an important thing that you need to do, Mr. Xuan, that is, to persuade the emperor of the Ming Kingdom to be used by me." I don't think there's a second person here who is better suited to it than you. ”

In this regard, Xuan Chengyuan naturally will not refuse, because this is indeed a great opportunity for him to make meritorious contributions. He immediately patted his chest and promised that he would live up to his trust, and then took advantage of the fact that he also discussed things with his subordinates first, and came to the tent where Zhu Qizhen was being held.

At this time, there were two people talking softly, and when they saw someone opening the account and entering, a tall, but slightly elegant Mongolian nobleman sitting next to Zhu Qizhen couldn't help frowning slightly, and then turned his head to look over, and he collided with Xuan Chengyuan's gaze.

"It's you!" The two muttered something strange almost at the same time. This Mongolian man who would actually accompany Zhu Qizhen to speak at this time was Boyan Timur, who had previously advocated protecting his life, and it could be seen that he and Zhu Qizhen had a good conversation.

After Xuan Chengyuan recognized the identity of the other party, he didn't dare to be rude, and hurriedly surrendered his hand: "It turned out that the patriarch of Boyan was here, and he hoped to forgive his sins if he broke in recklessly." ”

"What are you going to do?" Boyan just asked arrogantly. He has never had a good impression of this man who has turned his back on his country. And Zhu Qizhen, who was beside him, obviously felt a little uneasy at this time, his face, which was not bad just now, turned pale again, his eyes were lowered, but he didn't even have the courage to look at Xuan Chengyuan.

In the past few days, watching the tragic situation of those soldiers and officials being slaughtered by the Mongolian people like pigs and cattle, has filled the heart of this great genius with fear of the Mongolian people. If it weren't for Bo Yan's many times of appeasement before, he would still be able to huddle in the corner and tremble.

Although Xuan Chengyuan was a little unhappy in his heart, he still endured it, and just replied with a smile: "I came here on the orders of the Taishi, and I hope that His Majesty the Emperor can do us a favor." ”

"What's the busy?" Boyan's brows furrowed even deeper, Taishi won't change his hexagram again, right?

"It's very simple, Taishi hopes that His Majesty the Emperor can come forward and help us persuade us to open the gate of Daming Border Town!" Xuan Chengyuan happily expressed his intentions, but the faces of the two people in the tent changed......
