Chapter 124: Don’t panic, Commander
Just when Hou Rong was performing ventriloquist for Qiu Luan, and at the critical moment when the whole body was tense, Shi Yizai, who was waiting outside, received a message from the subordinates of the General Military Mansion. When the letter soldier sent a military report, I was so frightened that I almost flew away.
Shi Yi didn't care about Qiu Luan's enjoyment at this time, and ran towards the house where Qiu Luan was in excitement.
"Commander! Commander! Something big has happened!"
Shi Yi excitedly broke in through the door. Qiu Luan, who was originally in an excited moment, was immediately stunned by Shi Yi's shout. Interested.
Qiu Luan adjusted his clothes unhappily, looked at Shi Yi who looked excited and frightened, and said dissatisfied: "Why are you panicking?"
Shi Yi tremblingly handed over the military report in his hand. "The spies are reporting urgently that a Tatar cavalry is approaching Datong."
Qiu Luan, who was still unhappy and dissatisfied, suddenly turned pale with fright, and he took the hand from Shi Yi I read the military report quickly.
Angrily: "Are these Tatars crazy? They just came after robbing, so they can't take a rest?"
At this time Qiu Luan also completely forgot that he was competing with his grandfather. The original intention was completely overwhelmed by the fear of the approaching Tatar army.
Shi Yi suggested: "The commander-in-chief should summon all the generals to discuss matters and jointly resist the Tatar invasion."
After hearing Shi Yi's suggestion, Qiu Luan also thought of a way, so he prepared to order the summons Various generals from Xuanda came to the General Military Mansion to discuss matters.
At this time, Hou Rong, who had just performed a ventriloquist, ignored the soreness in his cheeks caused by the hard performance, and suggested in a low voice: "Commander, don't worry too much, An Da just asked for a trade. , the court has not yet made a decision. If the war breaks out again at this moment, it will be very detrimental to the Datong guards. The villain suggested that people should be sent to stabilize Anda first, and said that the court would allow the market to open. "
I was still impatient. Qiu Luan's eyes instantly lit up after hearing Hou Rong's words.
People who are good at ventriloquism have quick minds.
As if grasping a life-saving straw, Qiu Luan praised Hou Rong: "Yes, yes, what you said makes sense. But how can we get in touch with the people in Ada?"
At this time, Shi Yi also became excited, and he suggested from the side: "Commander, I heard that the Tatars are bitterly cold and barren, and they go south to knock on the border because of lack of wealth. If we bring gold and silver, Caibao went to look for them, and the villain believed that they would be willing to believe in the sincerity of the commander-in-chief."
When Qiu Luan heard what Shi Yi said, he also felt that it made sense. Isn't it because of the lack of money that the Tatars have been harassing the Ming Dynasty? Money? If he could send the money to them and make a big pie for them, he would just have to avoid this period of time and wait until that old guy Weng Wanda took over Xuanda, and he would have retired with success.
So Qiu Luan is not worried about money at this time. Fortunately, he sold a large piece of cheap land in Shunyi before and made a lot of money. Otherwise, there is nothing he can do now.
Qiu Luan ordered Shi Yi and Hou Rong, "Hou Rong, you have been in Datong for a long time and are familiar with the roads here. You took Shi Yi and the treasure and sneaked into the Tatar camp. If you can persuade the Tatars If you don't violate Datong for the time being, it will be a great achievement. Once the deed is accomplished, I will be rewarded heavily."
When Hou Rong heard this, he immediately bowed excitedly, "The commander-in-chief is on top, and the villain will definitely live up to the commander-in-chief's expectations!"
Qiu Luan said to Shi Yi again: "Go and prepare gold and silver. , and then set off with Hou Rong. We must do this quickly and carefully, and we must not let others know."
Shi Yi hummed heavily, and then prepared with Hou Rong. Plan and gold and silver to carry out Qiu Luan's mission.
Hour Rong is indeed a man of the hour in Datong City. Through his wild road, a plan to lead to the Tatar camp was quickly formulated.
Seeing such a powerful Hou Rong, Shi Yi did not feel any jealousy. Instead, he felt that he had attracted a great talent to his master.
After the two of them confirmed that their plan was correct, they immediately took action and quietly sneaked out of Datong City with the gold and silver treasures given by Qiu Luan and headed towards the Tatar camp.
At this moment, Tuotuo, who was in his prime, was happily drinking wine and eating meat in his camp, enjoying the Han women he had snatched earlier.
"Akito is really too weak. The first time I made a move, I scared the shit out of them."
Tuotuo and his subordinates talked unscrupulously, without any trace of fear. He didn't take Daming seriously. In his eyes, Datong was like meat in a bowl, which he could eat at any time. It’s just that he had just eaten the last meal, and there is probably no meat in this bowl now, so he led his troops to appear near Datong this time. In fact, he was executing another of Zanda’s strategies, continuing to pressure Ming and force him to The Ming court agreed to mutual trade.
So Tuotuo came to the vicinity of Datong again this time. It was actually just an outing, and he didn't have much thought about actually visiting Datong City.
After all, he had taken advantage of him last time and killed two of Ming's generals, so he was already enjoying great glory.
And that battle also cost him a lot of soldiers. Now Datong City is full of suffocating soldiers. There is not much benefit, so a fool will continue to fight at this time. Datong.
While Tuotuo and his men were happily eating meat and drinking wine, a messenger arrived at his tent.
"Taiji, there is a messenger from the Ming Dynasty asking to see you."
When Tuotuo heard that the messenger said that there was an envoy from the Ming Dynasty asking to see him, he immediately became interested and said, "Bring him here."
The messenger immediately went to bring over the messenger from the Ming Dynasty he had received.
After Shi Yi and Hou Rong arrived at Tuotuo's tent, they did not show that the envoy had the integrity, and directly flattered and worshiped: "The villain pays homage to the Great Khan."
Tuotuo Ting The word "Great Khan" was very useful. He smiled and said, "Who do the two envoys represent?" Qiu Luan, the commander-in-chief of Hou Xuanda, came to discuss matters with the Great Khan. ”
Tuotuo laughed and said, "The titles of you Han people are really too long and fancy. Who is Qiu Luan? I have never heard of it."
Shi Yi smiled awkwardly. His marshal's reputation is among the Tatars. Tare's side is indeed not big, but now is not the time to argue.
Shi Yi said: "My commander-in-chief knows how hard the Khan is working, so he sent a special villain to offer Cheng Yi to the commander-in-chief to say hello to the Khan."
Tuotuo laughed again, "Your boss Shuai is also a wonderful person, and he knows the rules. He is much more sensible than the original old man. Tell me, what's the matter?"
Tuotuo looked at Shi Yi and Hou Rong indifferently, and continued. They drank wine and ate meat, waiting for their reply.
Shi Yi bowed and said: "Great Khan, my commander knows that your ministry has been begging the imperial court to open the mutual market. This time my commander asked the villain to come and give the Khan some information. The imperial court has intended to open the market. I hope that the army of the great khan will be there." Don't enter when passing through Datong, so that my commander can continue to work for the opening of the market."
Hearing this, Tuotuo rolled his eyes. Although he is the main fighting faction, Sengge is the faction that advocates opening the market.
But Sengge has not made any progress so far. If he takes a little action to bring the news of the opening of the market to An Dahan, doesn't this mean that he is much better than Sengge?
Thinking of this, Tuotuo bared his teeth and smiled, "Very good, not bad. Your handsome man is really a man who knows the current affairs. I accepted his gift. After I and my family report it with great sweat, , and I will reply to you. If you are not in a hurry to reply during this period, you can wait for the message in our tent."
When Shi Yi and Hou Rong heard this, they were very happy and quickly bowed to Tuotuo. .
Then Shi Yi said: "The two of you would like to thank the Great Khan. In order to let the Marshal know the Great Khan's good intentions as soon as possible, I will go back to Datong to report first, and let Hou Rong wait here for the good news of the Great Khan."
Tuotuo hummed, and he didn't bother to pay attention to the two Qiu Luan envoys, and said: "You can discuss this matter among yourselves, and I will not interfere."
Hour Rong also knows his status and trust. The level was not enough to compete with Shi Yi, so he did not have any objections and directly agreed to Shi Yi's proposal. He would wait for the news in the Tuo Tuo camp and let Shi Yi go back and report first to appease Qiu Luan. .
