Without making Zheng Xiong wait any longer, the Tianyuan Army arrived.
Outside Yanmen Pass, Gao Ba Si Tie Mu'er and Hong Boyan Tie Mu'er led the Liaodong delegation to the pass, raising a cloud of dust.
The defenders quickly warned, and the generals guarding the pass took a defensive posture.
Zhang Huaiyuan and Wang Xing also came to the wall. After a long time, Zheng Xiong was late.
Holding the telescope, Zheng Xiong looked outside the pass.
The telescope that should have been popularized was clung to Lao Zhu's hands and treated as a strategic material.
Except for the army going out to distribute some, and some guarding places to equip some, there is no intention to popularize it at all, and it is firmly in their own hands.
After observing the situation, Zhang Huaiyuan spoke first.
"What's going on, who among you knows?"
I don’t know, I don’t know, even Yanmen Tidiao doesn’t know anything about it, how can you expect people like us to know anything.
Only Zheng Xiong had an excited look on his face, which attracted attention, and everyone turned their attention to Zheng Xiong.
Being watched by everyone, Zheng Xiong put down his telescope and smiled awkwardly.
"I know a little bit about this. I wrote a letter a few days ago, inviting Naha, the remnant of the Yuan Army, to come out and compete. I just arrived today, so don't be nervous."
Come on, Xian himself is living too leisurely. Isn’t he just looking for trouble? Everyone present felt a sense of resentment.
It was a bit embarrassing, but fortunately, under the city wall at this time, a Yuan army general who looked like a high-ranking man stood out and shouted to the city wall. His voice was so loud that everyone standing on the city wall heard clearly.
"Who is the champion?"
You are really a mischievous kid, how can you be so capable? Don't you know how wet your champion is?
"I am here, everyone. You are here as invited."
Unlike Gao Basi Tem'er's loud voice, Zheng Xiong's voice was much weaker. When it reached Gao Basi Tem'er's ears, only intermittent words remained, which could not be heard clearly.
"Who is the champion Hou Zhengxiong? Who spoke just now? Can you speak louder? You haven't eaten!"
A reckless man lacks strategy.
He didn't give himself any face at all, and even shouted loudly. At this moment, countless pairs of eyes looked at him, and the pressure was really great.
With his eyes turning red, Zheng Xiong shouted back at the top of his lungs.
"I am the Champion, who is here?"
"I heard, why are you talking so loudly? You are the one. Looking at you looking so weak, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was really blind when he allowed you to get this title."
Very good, whether you really can't hear or pretend you can't hear is no longer within Zheng Xiong's consideration. Now he has successfully aroused Zheng Xiong's anger.
Zheng Xiong's face turned from red to white, and suddenly he changed into a smiling face, and he asked with a smile on his face.
"Who are you?"
"Listen carefully, I am Liaodong Gao Ba Sitemu'er, and I have been ordered to come to compete. Who dares to challenge me?"
This style of painting seemed so familiar that Zheng Xiong thought he was wearing it again.
"You have come all the way, so you are not in a hurry. I have specially prepared wine and food for you. You can eat first, and we will talk later when you have rested."
As soon as these words came out, Yuan Jun's eyes lit up.
This period of time was too hard. I was beaten by the Ming army and didn't bring much food. The sequelae of working hard was that I didn't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes.
At this time, facing Zheng Xiong's temptation, it is really difficult to control one's heart.
"You have such good intentions, even if you really have such good intentions, then you ask who cares about your little food."
After saying that, Gao Basi Temu'er looked at his soldiers, wanting to confirm the answer, but wherever he passed, everyone dodged their eyes and lowered their heads.
Okay, I'm a little too confident, and I'm still a little hungry after doing this.
After getting the answer he wanted, Gao Ba Si Temu'er said shamelessly.
"Fight or not. If not, I will go back."
It's no use having a tough mouth. The expressions of the soldiers under his hands betrayed Gao Basi Temu'er, who was obviously still a little tempted by the food.
"Since you don't want to, I won't force you. You'll have to eat and sleep in the open all the way, and you won't even get a good rest even if you think about it."
"You guys have a good rest today. Let's have another showdown tomorrow, okay?"
This is possible. After a long journey, Yuan Jun's condition is a bit bad. It is still a bit gentlemanly to let yourself rest and be prepared.
"Okay, as you said, let's fight again tomorrow."
After saying this, the Yuan army set up camp on the spot, not caring about the belated arrival of the Ming army behind them.
Seeing this group of Ming troops, everyone on the city wall looked happy. Mao guessed that they were similar to the Yuan army. With the defenders on his side, this group of Yuan troops could not be said to be no threat, but it could only be said that there was nothing to fear.
The people on the city wall were about to say hello, but the arriving Ming army did not give the people standing on the wall a chance to speak, and silently set up camp around the Yuan army's camp.
The two sides were clearly separated, leaving a safe distance and not interfering with each other. The Ming army guarding the city wall scratched their heads and couldn't figure out the relationship between them.
Zheng Xiong is not upset, he has made enough preparations, and having these people here is the icing on the cake, providing an extra layer of protection.
After saying hello, Zheng Xiong left the Qiang Tower with his chief and deputy commander, and walked back to the military camp.
Seeing that Zheng Xiong had no intention of speaking, the chief and deputy officials should have been prepared for this, so they left without asking any questions.
Zheng Xiong returned to the military camp and said to Li Si.
"Have you arranged all the arrangements? The Yuan army has arrived, so don't let me get lost at this critical moment."
It's another new word, but Li Si has been following Zheng Xiong for a long time. Such a word is not difficult to guess, and he can guess some of its meaning.
"Ti Ling, get ready. With the cooperation of your Thirteen Incenses, drugging is not a problem and no one will find out."
"That's good, go get ready."
"Yes, Lord Marquis."
At some point, a smell of meat came from Yanmen. The fragrance was long and lasting.
Following the direction of the wind, it drifted far away to where the Yuan army was camping. Of course, the Ming army also smelled the smell of meat.
Coincidentally, both sides spat in the direction of Yanmen.
"Bah, you are not a son of a man."
In an encounter, both sides lost a lot of things, especially dry food. The Ming army did not allow them to pick it up, and their own side did not dare to cause trouble.
Now looking at the dry food in my hand and comparing it with the smell of meat coming from Yanmen, it’s okay not to eat this dry food.
My stomach growled for an unknown amount of time. Suddenly, the scent came closer and closer, as if it was in front of my nose. It made people salivate under my tongue, and I swallowed silently.
Following the direction from which the scent came, I arrived outside the camp unknowingly.
Looking closely, I saw a group of Ming Dynasty civilians standing outside the camp, carrying a lot of food on their shoulders.
In particular, one of the roasted whole lambs is quite eye-catching. Most of the aroma comes from the roasted lambs, and there is still steam coming out of them. Apparently they have just come out of the oven not long ago.
