There was a flat and vast plain in front of Shanhaiguan. The Yan army had set up camp tents on the spot and began daily training. The sound of killing on the plain was shocking, swords and swords attacked each other, and war horses were neighing, and the murderous and solemn.

In the handsome tent, Zhu Quan's young face looked a little ugly, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Looking at Zhu Di's unpredictable smile, Zhu Quan felt a coldness in his hands and feet.

"Fourth Emperor Brother... There are no outsiders in this tent today, so I opened my mouth, "Emperor Brother, I know why you want to borrow troops. To be honest, I don't think much of our new emperor. When the late emperor passed away, Huang Zicheng summoned all the ministers to visit the new emperor in front of the body of the late emperor in Wuying Palace. I was extremely unhappy at that time. I almost fought with Xiao Fan. The new emperor was too weak and gentle, and was angry with us uncles. I am not a fool. I understand all these, but the emperor..."

Zhu Quan looked up at Zhu Di and said slowly, "...But, brother, I dare not, I dare not take this big mistake in the world! The new emperor was appointed by the father when he was alive. The emperor ascended the throne, and the support of all civil and military officials in the court. His ascension to the throne was seen by everyone in the world, and he could not find any fault. Brother, no matter whether I am satisfied with the new emperor, I cannot change the fact that he is the emperor. I can only politely politely. If you have other thoughts on borrowing troops, I will not dare to accept it. I cannot lend you a soldier or a soldier."

After Zhu Quan finished speaking, he lowered his head. Loyal ministers and rebels, this choice has nothing to do with integrity. In Zhu Quan's opinion, this is a matter of standing up after weighing the pros and cons. Loyal kings, maybe there is, but it is more of fear. How could he win the power of the court with hundreds of thousands of troops, with the rebellion of him and the fourth emperor brother? It's simply a joke!

Zhu Di still smiled, and Zhu Quan's answer was not surprising to him.

Rebellion is not about treating guests to dinner, or eating or not eating is just a matter of just a matter of betting on his own wealth and life. Zhu Quan did not agree to it as Zhu Di expected.

Zhu Di shouted at the sky and said, "The Seventeenth brother is still so straightforward. Everyone has their own ambitions and cannot force them. I just said casually, don't take it to heart. The three guards of Duoyan are your treasures. How can I bear to win someone's love?"

Zhu Quan also smiled: "The three guards of Duoyan are all Mongolian cavalry, and they are used to the wind, sand and dust in the north. Although the outside world is bitter and cold, they are their hometown. They are naturally willing to fight the Tartars to the north. To go south, haha, the south is so beautiful that they can't get used to it..."

A pair of brothers looked at each other and laughed, everything was silent.

Zhu Quan walked out of the handsome tent with a smile on his face until the curtain of the handsome tent was lowered, and his smile suddenly became gloomy.

The personal army guarding outside the tent came forward, and Zhu Quan let out a long sigh and said coldly: "I ordered Tuoluhuchaer to annihilate the Tartars in this battle, everyone will immediately leave Shanhaiguan and withdraw back to Daning Mansion, and will not be allowed to stay for a moment!"

"yes!"

In the tent, it was not until Zhu Quan left that the monk Daoyan, who had been sitting aside for a long time, slowly raised his head. The rosary in his hand had been put into his arms, and his face was calm and peaceful.

"Prince, Prince Ning's words have been clearly stated. It is impossible for him to lend them to you by Duoyan's Three Guards."

Zhu Di's smile had already become gloomy. He clenched his fists and said coldly: "The world is in a cold state, and my brothers can't count on it. How sad!"

Daoyan smiled slightly: "The prince has to do his life and his life. King Ning doesn't have that courage, so he dare not bet this bet."

Zhu Di sneered: "Zhu Yunwen has decided to reduce the vassal states. Only Yan Ningjin is the strong vassal state in the world. Our brothers can fight with the court. If everyone only cares about sweeping away the snow in front of the door, will it be useful to regret it when the sword is added to the neck of the future? It is so short-sighted, it is simply stupid!"

Daoyan smiled and said, "King Ning is not short-sighted, but thinks that he has no rebelliousness towards the court, so the court will not cut off his vassal. He believes that he has a clear conscience, but he does not know that the court regards the vassal king as a thorn in his eyes, and must cut it off soon. He doesn't care whether you have rebelliousness or not. King Ning's idea is too simple."

Zhu Di frowned and said, "Sir, the three guards of Duoyan cannot borrow it, what should I do?"

Daoyan smiled deeply and said, "If you can't borrow it openly, why not take it secretly?"

"How to steal the secretly?"

"As far as I know, Duoyan Wei's commander, Tuolu Huchaer, is a man who forgets his righteousness when he sees profit. If the prince is moved by his wealth and food, it is not difficult for him to rebel against King Ning. If Duoyan Wei rebelled, Taining and Fuyu will definitely follow..."

Zhu Di brows tightly and said in a deep voice: "Can such a person be used?"

Daoyan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you use it for the time being. When the prince's great cause is completed and he will win the world, then he will just send the three guards of Duoyan far away."

"Okay, leave this matter to you. Sir, don't let me down."

"Sir, the tents are burned, and we have nowhere to stay in the camp..."

"Sir, our food, grass, cattle and sheep were all put into the sea of ​​fire and burned into coke. The dry food the soldiers carried was only enough for five days. Those Han people were too despicable!"

"Sir, the twenty Han people who assassinated could not find their traces. I don't know if they had escaped or had sneaked into our team..."

“…………”

A series of bad news made Gui Lichi stagger involuntarily, and Alutai next to him hurriedly supported him.

"I want to divide the five Han horses into pieces! The five horses into pieces! God of Changsheng--" Gui Lichi was disguised with his hair, and more than ten small braids on his bald head swayed left and right, with an extremely terrifying expression.

Alutai said: "Don't worry, leader, the heaven of immortality will punish those despicable and humble Han people. What we need to do now is how to resettle the army and how to obtain food and grass."

Gui Lichi's eyes were blood-red and he roared: "How to place it? How do I know how to place it?"

Alutai sighed and said, "You are the commander of the first army..."

Gui Li shook his lips twice and said in grief: "... Ask the soldiers to sew the remaining tents with needles and threads, and live more people in each tent, squeeze them, and tell the soldiers to capture Peking Mansion, and many big houses are waiting for them to live..."

“…Where is the food and grass?”

"Scrape it and grab it along the way, and there will always be food!"

Alutai wiped his sweat and said, "I haven't lived or eaten. Isn't this... like a beggar? Otherwise, we should withdraw our troops and come back until the grass is decayed in winter..."

"No! If you don't take revenge, what's the face of me, Gui Lichi, to meet tens of thousands of warriors? After being slapped in the face, do you want me to endure it? Take revenge! You must take revenge! In which direction did those despicable and shameless Han people escape?"

"Teamma Chi reported that they fled southeast, and met another thousand people halfway through. There were only three thousand Han people who attacked my camp. At present, we have 10,000 vanguards chasing them..."

Gui Lichi exploded as soon as he heard this: "Three thousand people? Only three thousand people! Three thousand people made my 50,000 camp a mess, and even killed hundreds of warriors, six thousand men, three thousand men, burned my tent, burned my food and grass... Who was their leader?"

"This...is not known yet."

Gui Lichi took a deep breath and said, "Send the order, the whole army will set out to Shanhaiguan. Even if this despicable army escapes to the ends of the world, I will swear to kill it!"

The despicable army was speeding up on the grassland.

There was a vastness around, and the same scenery quickly retreated in my eyes. Facing the violent gale, three thousand people rode on their horses, looking very tired, but their eyes were filled with a strong sense of excitement.

Three thousand people made the Tartar camp a mess, killed many senior generals, almost stabbed the commander Gui Lichi to death, burned their tents, burned their food and grass, and most importantly, after these earth-shaking things, no casualties were found on their own side.

This is simply a miracle in the history of war.

How did Lord Xiao, who was born in a literati, have a mindset? He did not lose a soldier when fighting. Such an incredible thing was actually done. Apart from the word "magical", there was no other word to describe him. This person is even more evil than a monster...

During the speeding journey, all the soldiers looked at Xiao Fan galloping in front of the team with admiration and admiration. His back was still as weak as a literati, as if a gust of wind could blow him down, but the soldiers clearly saw a huge and surging energy hidden in the weak body. Anyone who dared to underestimate him will pay the heaviest price.

It is a blessing in life to be a worker under the commander who cherishes his subordinates like this. At this moment, the soldiers suddenly felt that they could hand over their lives completely to this calm young man who had just led them to win a battle but was not surprised or happy.

Xiao Fan's prestige in the army gradually increased and expanded without realizing it. It was as majestic as a mountain and as deep as the sea.

Xiao Fan rode on the horse, unconsciously his prestige in the army was no less than a veteran who had been fighting on the battlefield for many years. He squinted his eyes and rode his horse in front, but his heart was filled with a sense of grief and anger.

Finally, I had to escape, killed so many senior generals, burned their tents and food, and now I was fine, completely annoyed the Tartars.

More than ten miles behind the team, the sky was filled with dust, and ten thousand vanguards of the Tartar army were chasing them reluctantly, as if they were swearing to catch up with them to death and swallowing them alive.

After successfully meeting Cao Yi and the two thousand soldiers who attracted the attention of the Tartars, Xiao Fan led them to Shanhaiguan without looking back. The battlefield was too dangerous. Scholars like him were not suitable for going to the battlefield at all. - Cheating scholars are also scholars! Who has ever seen scholars become generals? Isn't that harmful? Zhu Di's bastard is too irresponsible. He must find them back if he has a chance!

While galloping, Xiao Fan did not forget to look back, but saw the yellow dust in the sky more than ten miles behind him. The Tartars's forward was like a crazy dog, chasing and biting them tightly, never giving up.

Xiao Fan immediately sighed heavily and said in grief: "These Tartars are too boring. Didn't they just kill them and burn a few broken tents and some food? Is it true that I chased me for two days and two nights? As for how poor I am so?"

Cao Yi rode on the horse and panted and said with a smile: "Your family was burned, killed and robbed, are you not anxious?"

Xiao Fan thought about it and felt that Cao Yi's words made sense: "Okay, I can understand their anxious and angry mood... Brother Cao, would they forgive me if I returned the stolen things to the Tartars?"

Cao Yi thought for a while and said seriously: "I'm afraid it won't work."

Xiao Fan said anxiously: "...will you apologize to them again?"

"...I'm afraid it's still not possible. The Tartars are determined to be with you all the time."

Xiao Fan slapped his thigh and said sadly: "Look, look, I'll just say that the Tartars are really very arrogant. Who said that life on the grassland is so heroic? Bullshit!"

Outside Shanhaiguan, Zhu Di led five thousand light cavalry to a small hill more than fifty miles to the left of the pass. He rode on his horse and set up a pergola, squinted his eyes and looked at the calm and verdant grassland in the north.

"Have there no news from Xiao Fan yet?" Zhu Di asked without looking back.

Zhang Yu, who was covered in hangs behind him, said, "Xiao Fan did not take the initiative to send back the news, but according to our scouts, Xiao Fan led three thousand personal troops to make trouble for the 50,000 Tartar camp. Now the 10,000 Tartar van is chasing Xiao Fan. It seems that he is going to get rid of him quickly. Gui Lichi also ordered the remaining 40,000 troops to follow him, and was coming to Shanhaiguan..."

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment: "How did Xiao Fan provoke the Tartars? The 50,000 army chased 3,000 people so tightly... Did Xiao Fan dig the ancestral tomb of the Guili Chi family?"

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "I don't know this. I rarely see Tartars so angry that they ignore the consequences. Prince, this is good news for us."

Zhu Di also smiled: "No matter how Xiao Fan provoked the Tartars, at least he did a pretty job in this matter and successfully attracted 50,000 Tartars to Shanhaiguan. This person is indeed a bit capable. No wonder he is highly valued by two generations of emperors. What a pity... It's a pity that he cannot be used by this king!"

Zhang Yu said: "Prince, after Xiao Fan comes, can the last general lead the army to support him?"

Zhu Di's smile suddenly became cold: "Receive? Who should I accept?"

Zhang Yu was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said, "Didn't the prince tell Xiao Fan that he would pick him up in front of Shanhaiguan?"

Zhu Di said coldly: "Xiao Fan and the Tartars, both inside and outside, are all my confidants. Wouldn't they be able to fight and consume them? Will this king be so stupid to meet my enemies?"

Zhang Yu was shocked, looked at Zhu Di in surprise for a while, and then said carefully: "What does the prince mean?"

Zhu Di looked forward with his eyes, his expression was cold and cruel, and said, "Send the order, all soldiers enter the pass, and then close the gate of Shanhaiguan, and no soldiers are allowed to enter and exit!"

"...Where is Xiao Fan coming to the gate?"

"Of course they are not allowed to enter the pass! When the Tartar vanguard arrives, they will be killed without any of them. Then you can order people to rush out of the pass to annihilate the remaining enemies, and immediately set up a crane wing formation to wait for Gui Lichi's 40,000 main force to arrive."

Zhang Yu was shocked. The prince made up his mind to kill Xiao Fan! At that time, the city gate was closed, and there were pursuers behind him. There was no way to advance or retreat. What else was waiting for Xiao Fan except death?

Suppressed his shock, Zhang Yu asked carefully: "The prince's five thousand light cavalry..."

Zhu Di smiled faintly and said, "I and the five thousand light cavalry are here. After Gui Lichi's 40,000 main force fell into the crane wing formation, the three guards of Ning Wang will surround the Tatars' back team from the right side outside the pass. In this way, all the 50,000 Tartars, including 10,000 forwards, were surrounded by us. If Gui Lichi found something wrong at that time, he would definitely break out from the left and flee north in panic. The five thousand light cavalry of my king will be waiting for him here!"

Zhang Yuxin said with sincerity: "Your Majesty is so scheming!"

Zhu Di laughed loudly, his eyes shone coldly: "I said that I will annihilate all the enemies outside Shanhaiguan! No one left! My enemy is not just Tartars!"

On the vast grassland, Xiao Fan and Cao Yi still led their troops to continue running. - It can also be said to be escaping.

Mongolian horses have long endurance, and with Mongolian cavalry fighting, each knight basically carries three or four or even five horses at the same time, so that they can constantly change horses during long-distance raids, and maintain the physical strength of the war horses without decreasing speed.

So Xiao Fan, who was running ahead, was gradually caught up by the Tartars. The Tartars' ten thousand forwards were getting closer and closer to Xiao Fan, and the two sides were only one mile away, as if they were within reach.

Xiao Fan frowned and kept whipping the war horse under his crotch. He felt anxious.

What would happen if three thousand people were really caught up by the Tartars? Apart from death, it would never survive. War is war. When fighting head-on, there are not so many conspiracies and tricks. They are all true under swords. Facing the Mongols with strong combat power, Xiao Fan knew that fighting head-on was definitely not their opponent.
