Arrow array!
There was a hint of wariness in Ha'er's evil eyes, and Tolu Hucha'er squinted his eyes and said in a low voice with a serious face: "He gave us a warning before they arrived. Haha, the person who came here is not a good person."
The arrow formation is a frontal assault formation, with the most elite part in the center and front, responsible for cutting through any obstacles, and the left and right wings follow up to tear apart the defense line.
Like an arrow, it pierced through.
This formation is obviously offensive.
Ning Wang Zhu Quan reined in his horse and raised his hand high. The sergeants behind him stopped and looked ahead without saying a word.
Tuolu Huchaer, along with Ha'erji and others, went out to greet him. Tuolu Huchaer clenched his right hand into a fist, beat it on his left chest, leaned forward and said, "The Duoyan guards have seen King Ning."
Zhu Quan smiled boldly, stood up and dismounted, and said: "Master Qianshi, there is no need to be polite. I am here just to inspect the Duoyan Guard as usual. If there are any difficulties, please inform them one by one, and I will inform the court."
Tuolu Huchaer smiled peacefully, turned sideways and invited: "Your Majesty, please come to the account."
Zhu Quan turned around, looked around, and ordered the others to wait outside. He only took Liu Changge and Keshan with him, and walked inside with Tolu Huchaer and others. Looking at the heads not far away, Zhu Quan couldn't help but stop. Footsteps, asked: "This is?"
Tolu Huchaer smiled calmly. Said: "This man is Hu Weishan from Han Dynasty. He entered Duoyanwei a few years ago. Seeing that he had some strength, he let him herd horses. But who knew that he actually hated the Ming Dynasty? Today, for some reason, he actually instigated a relationship between Duoyanwei and the Ming Dynasty. , let Duoyan Guard capture Daning Mansion."
Liu Changge looked at the dead head and saw that the blood was still flowing, so he knew that this person had been killed not long ago.
This was a careerist and a person who hated Ming Dynasty. However, he died.
Zhu Quan's eyes froze slightly, he looked at Tuolu Hucha'er, and asked slowly: "Does Lord Qianshi really want Daning Mansion?"
Tuolu Huchaer laughed loudly, pointed to the corpse on the ground, and said: "Your Majesty, if Duoyanwei wants to betray the Ming Dynasty, why do you need to kill this person? And why do you need to explain to the prince? Because he has no guilt in his heart and is loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Only when the sky and the earth are clear can we have the courage to speak frankly."
A smile appeared on Zhu Quan's lips and he said: "Duo Yanwei is a loyal minister. I know this, and the court also knows it. It's just that these rebellious ministers and traitors really deserve to be killed. I wonder where his family is?"
Tolu Hucha'er raised his brows and said, "I heard that he is the only one, and the other family members may not be alive."
"It's easy for him!"
Zhu Quan said coldly.
Tuolu Huchaer's tooth hurts a bit. This is the virtue of the old Zhu family. When cutting the grass, they don't forget to dig out the roots...
Accounted.
Tuolu Huchaer arranged for Qi Qiqi to prepare a banquet and invited Zhu Quan to take a seat. Zhu Quan refused, and finally made excuses several times. , sit down slightly northeast.
It is inappropriate to take over other people's territory.
Although Duoyanwei surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, they could only be regarded as "mercenaries" who were paid to do things. To be polite, they obeyed the orders of the Ming Dynasty and helped the Ming Dynasty protect the Northeast.
If you are rude, you may fall out at any time, and it is not uncommon for mercenaries to kill buyers...
After Zhu Quan exchanged a few pleasantries, he asked: "Master Qianshi, the cold winter is coming. I wonder if Duoyan Wei is ready?"
Tuolu Hucha'er looked troubled, sighed and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, there will be no problem in Duoyanwei's winter."
Zhu Quan waved his hand and said, "Looking at your demeanor, it doesn't look like there's nothing wrong with you. You used to be straightforward, why are you gone? If you have anything, just tell me."
"Your Majesty, there is really no problem."
Tolu Huchaer said with certainty.
Ha'erjie on the side said quickly: "Sir, how can we say there is no problem? This winter is going to be very difficult."
"Shut up, the prince is here, how can you talk about difficulties?"
Tolu Huchaer scolded.
Seeing this, Zhu Quan stopped Tuolu Hucha'er and asked Ha'er: "Master Tongzhi, please speak frankly."
Ha'erzhi said with a worried look on his face: "Your Majesty, I heard that the cold wind has started to blow in the north. This winter will definitely be extremely cold. The things Duoyanwei has stored may not be able to withstand the severe cold, and Duoyanwei doesn't have much salt in his hands." , if there is heavy snow in winter and the roads are blocked, and the imperial court is unable to supply enough, Duoyanwei will be faced with a situation where there is no salt available. When the severe cold and lack of salt combine, Duoyanwei will suffer heavy losses."
Zhu Quan frowned and asked: "I remember that the court just supplied Duoyanwei with a batch of salt not long ago, right? There are twenty stones, enough for Duoyanwei to eat for two months."
Ha'er was a little anxious and said: "Your Majesty, the court supplies salt, but it is based on the minimum amount, and it is based on 18,000 households a few years ago. Now the population of Duoyan has increased to 20,000 households, and the number of cattle and horses It has even increased, but we still supply salt according to the old system, which is simply not enough.”
Zhu Quan was a little embarrassed. He looked at Tuolu Huchaer and asked, "Is this really the case?"
Tuolu Huchaer sighed: "There is such a problem, but please rest assured, Your Majesty, Duoyanwei will not become a burden to the court, we just need to eat less salt."
Zhu Quan looked at the somewhat tragic Tolu Huchaer, glanced at Liu Changge, and then said: "The court will not ignore Duoyan Guard's difficulties. If not, I might as well ask my entourage to investigate. I know what the problem is with Duoyanwei. After returning to Daning, I can notify the court in a document, okay?"
Ha'erji stood up solemnly and said, "I am willing to lead the way."
Zhu Quan glanced at Liu Changge and Keshan, nodded, and the two stood up and followed Haerjie out of the tent.
When Tolu Huchaer heard that the person had gone away, he reached out and grabbed a big bone and said to Zhu Quan, "Is that the former commander of the Security Bureau, Shi Liu Changge?"
Zhu Quan nodded slightly and said, "This person should not be underestimated."
"Haha, in my opinion, it's nothing more than that."
Tolu Huchaer said disdainfully.
Zhu Quan did not explain, because Tuolu Huchaer did not know Liu Changge's past.
For a long time, Liu Changge was inconspicuous, but he had been in the army for more than ten years and even participated in the Battle of Yuerhai. He had rich combat experience. What was even more rare and valuable was that this man could actually read and write, and was quite capable of generals. talent.
It's just that in the Hongwu Dynasty, there were too many generals. Even a genius like Lan Yu was dimmed for a long time, let alone a low-level officer like Liu Changge.
Zhu Yunwen discovered Liu Changge and handed over his security bureau to him, which shows that Liu Changge's ability is not trivial.
Zhu Quan was arrogant, but he would not underestimate those who were a threat. He looked at Tuolu Huchaer and said softly: "The imperial court may not increase the supply. Salt and iron are more strictly controlled by the imperial court."
Tuolu Huchaer sighed and said slowly: "After all, the Ming court is still unwilling to accept the three guards of Duoyan and always treats us as outsiders. Isn't our surrender over the years not enough to win their approval?"
Zhu Quan listened to such remarks without any rebuttal and said calmly: "Therefore, it is better to submit to the king than to submit to the Ming court. As long as the king is in Daning, the three guards of Duoyan will be indispensable. If something happens to the king, or After leaving Daning, haha, the Duoyan Three Guards can only survive like the Tatars and Oaras, relying only on some traveling merchants."
Tuolu Huchaer knew this truth and also knew that Zhu Quan could not die or leave.
"Are you too ambitious? What do you want?"
Tulu Huchaer asked seriously.
Zhu Quan picked up a small knife, cut off a piece of meat, chewed it gracefully, and after swallowing, said softly: "You know what I want, of course. Liu Changge is in Daning now, and he is a threat. He is here, It’s difficult to proceed safely.”
"To deal with one person, do we, Duoyan Wei, still need to take action?"
Tuolu Huchaer looked at Zhu Quan in surprise.
Zhu Quan shook his head slightly and said: "He cannot die here. The people arranged by this king have investigated clearly. The main purpose of Liu Changge's trip is indeed to investigate Fang Kuan, the governor of Daning, but Fang Kuan does not have many flaws. I What the king needs Duoyanwei’s help is to give them a chance.”
"oh?"
Tuolu Huchaer looked at Zhu Quan with interest.
Zhu Quan inserted the knife on the table and said sternly: "The disaster is diverted to the east."
Liu Changge followed Haerjie to many tents, and even went to Duoyanwei's temporary warehouse. The materials inside were only allocated by the court, and there were no materials transported through other channels.
Standing on a high slope, Liu Changge looked at the young people galloping on the grassland with a bit of worry in his eyes.
After these years of cultivation, the population of Duoyanwei has increased a lot. In addition, the Mongolian tribes do not obey anyone and will start wars from time to time. In order to avoid disaster, some people ran away from the Tatar tribe and joined the Duoyanwei. .
Do the mighty Duoyan Sanwei really have no ambitions?
Liu Changge was not sure, but looking at those young people, they were skillful with bows and horses, brave and fearless, it would be a disaster if they became enemies of the Ming Dynasty.
The cavalry of the Ming Dynasty were often trained the day after tomorrow.
But the Mongolian cavalry was born with it.
"If these people are not eliminated, they will definitely be a thorn in the side of Ming Dynasty!"
As Liu Changge was thinking, a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old came running over on a brown horse. The horse jumped up, but the boy didn't grab the reins and rolled over. He shouted with bared teeth: "Black Teeth, you throw me again!" "
The horses lowered their heads and gnawed at the withered roots of the grass.
The young man patted the dirt on his body, stood up, looked at Liu Changge who was leading the horse, his eyes lit up, and he shouted: "Your saber looks good. We wrestled and I won. How about you give me the saber?" "
Liu Changge laughed and said, "I can't give you this knife. What's your name?"
The young man said with disdain: "If you don't even have the courage to be wrestled, how can you deserve to know my name? Are Han people cowards?"
"If you don't accept the challenge, are you a coward?"
Liu Changge smiled slightly.
The young man took a step forward proudly and said: "Of course, if you are a man, let's compete."
Liu Changge patted the waist knife on his body and twitched the corner of his mouth: "If I win, what can you lose to me?"
There was disdain in the young man's eyes, and he grinned and said: "I, the Perfect Tamerlane, have never lost to anyone. If I lose, the black teeth will be yours. This is a good horse from a thousand miles away, how about it?"
"Timur the Perfect?"
Liu Changge was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the child in front of him was the eldest son of Tolu Huchaer.
"The perfect Tamerlane, don't be rude."
Ha'erji came over on horseback, bowed his hand to Liu Changge, and said, "The child is ignorant. Don't be offended by Liu's experience."
Liu Changge laughed and didn't mind. He took off the knife from his waist and handed it to Timur, the master, and said: "Since he is Qian Shi's son, he still needs a meeting gift."
Timur the Ender looked at Liu Changge, snorted coldly, grabbed the reins, stepped over the stirrups, flew onto the horse's back, turned the horse's head, and said coldly: "What I, Tamerlane the Ender, want is Defeat you, and then take away your knife. Now that you gave it to me because of my father, are you pitying me? Such a knife is no longer worthy of me, so keep it to yourself."
After saying this, Timur rode away.
