At that moment, Chang Wei no longer hesitated, and with a backhand stroke, the divine sword swung out a poignant sword net in the place where he was around. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the clanging noise, five or six scimitars were hit together, and the ingenious way of sucking the star Dafa brought them all to shake their figures, and even the direction of the impact with the war horse was changed.

Chang Wei saw the opportunity, lifted the reins sharply, and the great Wanliang horse given by the emperor jumped out of the encirclement and rushed away.

The man who had just spoken to Chang Wei was still not giving up, so he turned his horse's head and chased after him from the side, and shouted in his mouth: "Merchants don't have this kind of martial arts!

Chang Wei rushed into the desert and replied: "Have you ever heard of the rivers and lakes? I am a martial arts master in the rivers and lakes!"

The man snorted, "It turns out that you are the kind of person from the Slanting Moon Sect and the Frost Palace!"

Chang Weichi rode in front and turned around and said: "Yes, we are people from the rivers and lakes, this time we are going to Etuoke to buy horses, everyone is not an enemy, don't chase after you!"

The man said disdainfully: "Buy a horse, I think you are going to seek refuge in King Qing!"

"How do you know?" Chang Wei turned back sharply, shocked.

This look is half pretended, half real. Even this knight knows King Qing, which shows that King Qing has colluded with the Tatars, and this time it is no longer a simple rebellion, and it will really be earth-shattering.

Chang Wei was also secretly glad that Hu Wenqing was here, if it weren't for Lao Hu's reminder, who would have thought that King Qing would be out of the plug? Now it seems that King Qing will not only be out of the plug, but also has a big conspiracy!

"Look at your men, all of them have muskets. This kind of equipment didn't even have the Ming army on the Great Wall, so they went to Hetao to buy horses? Who believes it!"

The man saw through Chang Wei's face, and shouted proudly: "The emperor of the Ming Dynasty wants to cut the domain, King Qing is naturally unwilling, he wants to take refuge in Lin Dan Khan, and use the power of my prairie to compete for the throne of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, this matter has spread in Hetao!"

After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the Mengyuan clan fled north to the steppe, controlling most of the Lingbei Province and Gansu and Liaoyang Provinces, east to Goryeo, west to Central Asia, known as the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

Later, the Ming army launched an attack on the Northern Yuan Khan's court, the general Lan Yu raided the Northern Yuan Khan's court in the fishing sea (Lake Baikal), the second son of the Northern Yuan Khan, his wife and his father Huizong's wife, and more than 100 princesses were captured.

Timur was a descendant of Kublai Khan, the hereditary Great Khan of the Mongols, and a descendant of Ali Buge (Kublai Khan's younger brother, who had always been an enemy of Kublai Khan's family).

After Sudieer seized the throne of Khan, many Northern Yuan nobles and ministers did not recognize its legitimacy, and the Northern Yuan was officially divided into two parts, the east and the west, and the Ming Dynasty called the east Tatar and the west Warat.

Warat lives in the northwest of the desert, in the Tatar was Chengzu five northern expeditions, fought far away from the desert north, Warat took the opportunity to rise and began to gradually eastward, to the first Taishi and Tokhtobu Khan period, Warat controlled the entire Mongolian region, its power west to Central Asia, east to the Korean border. At this time, the mighty Warat became the common enemy of both the Tatars and the Ming Dynasty.

In its heyday, under the leadership of Taishi Yexian, Warat launched the famous "Tumubao Change", and after that, the flourishing and declining Warat had internal contradictions and was also killed first.

After the decline of Warat's power, Dayan Khan of Tatar led Khalkha, Etok, Chahar, and Tumut to deal with the Yibuzi, Uliangha, Korqin, Ordos and other tribes, and achieved great prosperity. He also sent troops to conquer Washorn, abolished the autocratic Taishi and Prime Minister, divided the south and north of the desert into a number of parts, and divided the princes and ten thousand households as the Great Khan's domain.

After the death of Dayan Khan, the rise of the state teacher Altan posed a serious threat to the authority of the Tatar Great Khan. In the 26th year of Jiajing, Da Lai Sun Kuden Khan was forced to move eastward to the east and west of the Xing'an Mountains to the Lamulun River Valley, which was known as the "eastward migration of Chahar" in history. The original pastureland of the Chahar Ministry was occupied by Alta.

After becoming the de facto leader of 30,000 households on the Mongolian right wing, Altan continued to expand his territory. In the twenty-ninth year of Jiajing, I answered and led the troops to enter Beijing, which caused the "Gengxu Change" and the Ming court was shocked and agreed to pass the city. Under the control of Altan and the Three Ladies, the Tatar Khan was useless.

It was during this period that the Tatars occupied the northern and southern regions of the desert, and the river loops with abundant water and grass also fell into the hands of the Tatars.

After the death of Alta and Sanniangzi, the left-wing three Wanhu in Liaodong, Xuanfu, and Datong and the right-wing Sanbu Wanhu in Hetao, Shaanxi, and Gansu were seriously antagonistic under the provocation and division of the Ming court, and there were constant wars between them.

After Lin Dan Khan succeeded to the throne at the end of Wanli, Nurhachi of Houjin rose. Lin Dan Khan attempted to unify the Mongol tribes, unite the Ming court, and resist the Later Jin together. The year before last, Zhaocheng was defeated by the combined forces of Horqin and Ordos in the Tumut Department, and then by the Tatar troops of Monan and the Houjin Coalition Army defeated by the Zhuluo Gol, and last year was severely damaged by Huang Taiji on the north bank of the Xilamulun River, and was forced to flee westward in embarrassment.

The matter of uniting with Lin Dan Khan was actually known by a small person such as a commander of a thousand commanders, and King Qing's character is really too stupid; Lin Dan Khan is also an idiot, and this kind of major matter can be leaked? No wonder he was driven to Xihetao by Huang Taiji.

Analyzing the chaos on the grassland, Chang Wei tentatively said: "Which part of your excellency is the warrior? Etuoke or Hangjinqi? It can't be the Ordos tribe!"

"Of course we are not the mongrels of Ordos!" the knight scolded before he said proudly: "We are the warriors of the Hangjin Banner!"

Chang Weixi said: "Hangjin Banner, Etuoke, and Alxa of Xitao are all the people of Lin Dan Khan, and we are going to seek refuge with King Qing, so we are not enemies!"

The knight said: "Although we are not enemies, but, when we come out to hunt, we must have some harvest, and I will not let you go if we don't take out something!"

On the prairie, the plundering nature is strong, what friends and allies are really unreliable, only strength is real.

Chang Wei said: "What do you want? We don't have extra horses and livestock for you!"

The knight waved his hand and said, "I don't want much, leave three hundred war horses and three hundred muskets and let you go!"

Chang Wei shook his head and said, "This is impossible! Muskets and war horses are our lives, I'll give you some silver!"

The knight shouted, "What do I want for silver? The steppes only know weapons, grain, and livestock, and if they have cloth, salt, and tea, they are fine, and silver is useless!"

Chang Wei took out a thousand taels of silver tickets from his arms and said: "This kind of silver ticket can be exchanged between the north and the south, and you can exchange it for a year's grain, incomparably beautiful silk, and endless salt!"

This knight is actually a knowledgeable person, took the silver ticket to distinguish it, and shouted: "One thousand taels is not enough, so many of you can do at least ten thousand taels!"

"Robbery! You are robbing!" Chang Wei shouted loudly: "King Qing only paid us a deposit of 10,000 taels, I will give you 2,000 taels at most, and there will be no more!"

"Then give me nine thousand taels, and when you get to the place, King Qing will give you silver!"

After a period of arguing, Chang Wei gave another 5,000 taels before he was able to pass the test. When he left, Chang Wei looked angry, and the Tatar knight was very proud, and after getting rid of the other party and entering the desert, Chang Wei was smiling: "Six thousand taels can get through the trick, the Tatar knight is really easy to deceive!"

Monk Wang said distressedly: "It's a lot, six thousand taels can raise six thousand border troops for a month!"

Ma Yuan wittily diverted the topic of money, "Master, what do you mean by the phrase 'Sai Bai Nu, Nai'?"

"It's like: Hello, friend!"

Hu Wenqing said with admiration: "My lord is really amazing, and he can speak Mongolian." ”

Ma Yuan said: "This is nothing, the master can also speak Spanish, Portuguese, English, German, Japanese, etc., and can speak more than a dozen languages." ”

Wang Ziyong asked in surprise: "Where is this language?

Chang Wei shook his head and smiled: "Western Spanish, Portuguese, English, Oriental Japanese, Nanyang language, Mongolian and Tibetan in the north are not difficult, as long as you have a little language talent, you can learn it." The most difficult thing is our Chinese ......"

After the knights of the Hangjin Banner intersected, the cavalry of the Volunteer Battalion could no longer care about the hardships of the desert march, and the next 200 miles were all sneaking in the depths of the Mu Us Desert, not because they were afraid of the Tatar cavalry, but in order to quietly reach the Black Mountain Pass and perform the set tasks.

After sneaking southwest in the desert for nearly a day, they finally came out of the desert, where they had bypassed the Etok tribe in the steppe oasis, and the soldiers turned northwest along the trail in the forest valley, galloping all night and most of the day, and finally saw the wide and flat Yellow River.

This is the upper reaches of the Yellow River, the river water is clear, translucent, without the slightest bit of sediment, the fish swim freely in the river, the birds fly by the river, the wide and flat river extends in all directions, and the river surface is everywhere you look.

In the river, there are countless oasis aquatic plants, large and small, which can really be said to be in the river, and the grass is in the water. In winter, when the river becomes shallow and the water level drops, the original surface of the river will become land, and in the following spring, summer and autumn, it will become a wide river with a width of ten miles. The people on the plug call the scene of the Yellow River 'broken river'.

Therefore, this section of the Yellow River is plugged up, and it often flows indiscriminately to the southeast, northwest, and northwest, and the nomadic people also migrate around with the water and grass.

There were naturally many herdsmen in this natural pasture, but the cavalry, who had been walking through the desert for two or three days, did not care about these at all, and with excited war horses, they cheered and plunged into the water and grass area, and spread joy.

Because the river is wide, the water level here is very low, only ankle-deep in shallow places, and only three feet deep, and with the water nature of horses, it is easy to flow through.

Before the rangers in the distance rushed over, Chang Wei gave an order, and more than 2,000 horsemen roared towards the south with foot-deep water, chasing for half an hour, and arrived at the confluence of the Dutu River and the Yellow River, where the towering Great Wall appeared, and the rangers could only retreat unwillingly.

The terrain here is high, it becomes a platform, the river surface is also narrowed and restricted, the Ningxia Pingnu in the western section of the Great Wall stands on the rock platform that is dozens of zhang high, the west of the Great Wall is the Yellow River, the south is the winding outer Great Wall and the fortress of heavy garrison, and the east and north sides of the Great Wall are the river loops with abundant water and grass. Inside and outside the Great Wall are two worlds, two worlds and two worlds!

Ma Yuan, Yin An and other clever people did not wait for Chang Wei's order, so they raised the banner, and in an instant, dozens of banners such as "Beizhen Fu Envoy", "Qin Cha", "Shaanxi Governor", "Chang" and the Wang Ming Banner were hunting in the face of the strong wind!

This is an important node of the Great Wall, and the guards, imperial historians, eunuchs, and officers and soldiers on it have long seen these more than 2,000 powerful cavalry, and they dare not relax even if they see the banner.

After negotiating between the two sides, the Great Wall specially sent people to fall down the city, inspected Chang Wei's sword and seal letter, and then brought the documents back to the officials to see, and after verifying the authenticity, they opened the gate and let them in.

After stepping through the three gates, the guards, the imperial historian, and the town guard eunuchs hurriedly went down to the city and knelt down in front of their horses, saying: "Neglecting Lord Qincha is a capital crime!"

Chang Wei dismounted and helped them up, and said, "You strictly abide by the general's order, what is the crime? When King Qing's affairs are understood, I will reward you again!"

The three of them immediately reported: "Under the strict orders of the adults, several fortresses near Yinchuan dispatched nearly 10,000 people to participate in the battle, the Qingwang Mansion has been captured, and the Jinyi Wei completely occupies the palace. However, King Qing, escorted by the thief Han Chaozai, fled to the Shizuishan area behind Weizhen Fort, and the nearby Weizhen Fort and other forts were organizing manpower to surround it. ”

Chang Wei hurriedly took out the map and looked at it, it was only sixty miles away from the Black Mountain Pass, and the situation was very critical, "How many people are there in King Qing and Han Chaozai?"

"At first, there were 50,000 people in the Han Dynasty, and only 30,000 people fled after the first battle of Qingwangfu, and after going north through various fortresses and suppression, there were more than 10,000 people left. ”

"Order: The nearby fortresses and Zhenyuanguan must capture King Qing at the Black Mountain Pass, and he will never be allowed to cross Helan Mountain and enter the West Loop, nor can he cross the Yellow River to the east and enter the East Loop!

"Yes!"

"Prepare your boats and build a pontoon bridge immediately, and I will immediately cross the river in pursuit!"

"Yes!"

"Do you have anything to eat? get us some!"

The eunuch of the town guard smiled flatteringly: "The conditions of this institute are difficult, there are only some mules, horses and livestock, so this will be killed and sacrificed to the adults!"

Chang Wei raised his hand and said, "The livestock are for war, how can I eat these? Don't bother, just get me some bread and hot soup to fill my stomach." This official is not pampered, when he exterminated the white lotus and chased the thieves, he ate dry food with the officers and soldiers for dozens of days, and it was good to have a mouthful of hot food!"

The eunuch bent down and said, "Thank you for your understanding, then let's kill the six pigs that were raised for the New Year and feed the adults to satisfy their hunger." ”

"The border land is poor, and it is not easy for you, but the pigs are still raised, and they will be eaten by the officers and soldiers during the New Year. ”

Chang Wei helped him up, took out a thousand taels of silver tickets from his arms, and said, "You prepare some ordinary meals for our 2,000 people, this is the food fee, and I won't make everyone embarrassed." ”

He took out a stack of thousands of taels of loose silver tickets and said: "The one thousand taels you are an official will be divided, and I will give this one thousand taels to the thousands of soldiers in your office, and I should be paid an extra month's salary!"

Saying this, let Ma Yuan and others go to divide the silver tickets, and after a while, there was thunder of joy in the city and under the city, and the soldiers shouted in unison: "My lord's benevolence and righteousness", "I am willing to listen to my lord's orders", "My lord is in Shaanxi for a day, and we will serve the dead"

The three chief officers were even more excited with tears in their eyes, kneeling down and kowtowing to thank them. The border land is poor, and these officials have no way to make money except for drinking the blood of soldiers, and besides, the officials here must always be ready to fight with the nomadic cavalry outside the fortress, and it is easy to be cut off by their superiors and the court.

Therefore, whether it is a guard, a royal historian or a eunuch, they are all people who are unexpected, and it is not too much to get an adult like Chang Wei, who is a saint and a long person, and say that God has eyes.

After receiving such favors, the three officials killed six pigs in order to comfort the cavalry of the volunteer battalion without Chang Wei's knowledge. When the smell of meat wafted out, Chang Wei looked at the pitiful eyes of the thin border soldiers, and decided to eat together!

Six pigs are less than 1,000 catties of meat, and more than 3,000 people eat them, and one person has only two or three taels of meat, which is just a slice of palm-sized size.

Whether it was to buy people's hearts or really touched the softest place in their hearts, in short, Chang Wei took his subordinates and personally carried a knife to guard the edge of the cauldron and divide the meat for everyone. Moreover, it was the soldiers of the Pingnu Institute who came first, and after the thousand people were divided into a piece of meat, all that was left was a finger-sized meat star.

In the end, the cavalry of the Volunteer Battalion swallowed more than a dozen flatbreads with these meat stars and melon and vegetable broth. However, they don't care, they have eaten much better than this since following Chang Wei, and the salary is even more abundant, and it is nothing to suffer for a while.

This move made thousands of officers and soldiers of the Ningxia Pingnu Institute burst into tears, and knelt down and kowtowed, knowing that even if the six pigs were raised until the New Year, they would be the first to eat by the officials, and they could only share some broth and meat foam.

The immediate effect of this move was that after just an hour and a half, the pontoon bridge was erected.

More than 2,000 cavalry, under the reluctant eyes of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Pingnu Station, stepped across the pontoon bridge and galloped one hundred and twenty miles away at the Black Mountain Pass!

After this hour and a half of rest, the strength and morale of the volunteer battalion recovered a lot, and it can be said that it was non-stop along the way, every second counted, and at midnight rushed to the Zhenyuan Pass and near the Black Mountain Pass, but saw that the fire here was bright, and shouted to kill the sky.

"Galloping thousands of miles, finally catching up!"

Ignoring the fatigue of his subordinates, Chang Wei shouted, "Kill!" (to be continued.) )
