Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 331

"The enemy is coming, prepare to meet the enemy!" Wang Yi roared, and after the roar, he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to arrange the chariot formation.

The soldiers were awakened, and there was commotion in the camp.The enemy's situation is unknown, only the sound of iron horses flying, the number of the invading enemies is quite large, it seems that there are no less than three thousand.

Xia Wanchun ran out of the tent, just happened to meet Cao Huachun, and asked eagerly, "Director Cao, what's going on?"

Naturally, Cao Huachun didn't know the specific situation, so he approached Zhang Qitai and asked, "How could there be such a group of strong men at the foot of Yin Mountain? Are they bandits or Qing soldiers?"

Zhang Qitai was terrified, he didn't know what to ask, and he just said: "The villain has long said that the trade in the north to Mongolia has always been extremely dangerous. Don't wear your head on your trouser waist to make money. It is common to encounter strong people and villains. Now it is a world of chaos. , more dangerous..."

"Shut up, you can't tell why, you can only make noise!" Cao Huachun scolded.

The three of them were talking here, and the chariot had already been set up on Wang Yi's side.It turned out that when the mission went north, it was well prepared to encounter a strong enemy. The vehicles transporting goods in the team were all chariots.

Not long after, the enemy came to the front of the formation.Wang Yi was taken aback. The opponent's soldiers were strong and their horses were strong, and their weapons were excellent, which were not comparable to bandits.

The two sides fought quickly, and the enemies were all cavalry, and their combat effectiveness was very sturdy.But the other party didn't seem to have expected that this caravan would bring chariots, and after fighting for a few rounds, they hurriedly retreated far away, adopting a strategy of encircling and not attacking for the time being.

Both sides lit torches, and the battlefield was as bright as day.At the same time, both sides were in a state of shock, their swords were on the verge of breaking out, but they were in a stalemate.

Xia Wanchun and others came to Wang Yi's side and asked, "Duke Yi, have you figured out where the other party came from?"

Wang Yi stared at the enemy closely and said: "I'm not sure, but one thing is certain, this group of people are not ordinary thieves, most of them are Mongolian cavalry. Heh, just entering Mongolia, and encountered such a strong enemy, I'm afraid they will fight It's getting dark!"

Zhang Qitai suddenly pointed at the enemy's commander-in-chief flag and said, "Look, it's a white flying dragon flag! Oh, I heard their voices, it seems to be full of people's language..."

"What?" Cao Huachun said sharply, frowning, "Could it be that these people are Manzheng white flag cavalry? Could it be that our actions have long been exposed, and the Manchu Qing court sent troops to intercept and kill them?"

Xia Wanchun's expression changed: "Director Cao, have you forgotten? The owner of the Manzheng White Banner is Azig!"

"Ah!" Cao Huachun opened his mouth wide and suddenly laughed, "Is it God's will that allowed us to meet Azig at the foot of Yinshan Mountain? Haha, if this group of thieves were Aziger's subordinates, we might not have to Went to Moxi."

Speaking of this, Cao Huachun had an idea, and said: "Zhang Qitai, let's go north to do business under the banner of your Zhang family. On the surface, you are the leader of the caravan. It is up to you to come forward to negotiate with the enemy at this time. You should stabilize the situation first." situation, and then find out where they came from.”

"I...can I do it?" Zhang Qitai was shaking like chaff.

"It has to be done even if it doesn't work!" Xia Wanchun understood Cao Huachun's intention and made a decision immediately, "While the enemy is in a state of shock and they don't understand our origins and dare not go to war rashly, it is best to negotiate. If you have the opportunity, it will be the best." Passing away, there is no room for loss!”

With a wave of his hand, two soldiers already took up Zhang Qitai's arms, one on the left and the other on the right, and dragged him to the front chariot.

Because Zhang Qitai often dealt with Jiannu in the past, he knew a few common Manchu words. He shouted in Manchu first, and then in Chinese: "I am Zhang Qitai, a Shanxi merchant in Puzhou, and I have seen military men! We will not commit any crimes." River water is good for making money in harmony, as long as the two sides don't fight too much, the villain is willing to give ten thousand taels of silver!"

After shouting several times in succession, the enemy was obviously tempted.After a while, a thin and dry old man came out on horseback and shouted: "Are you really Zhang Qitai from Puzhou? Don't lie! Old man Niu Jinxing has dealt with the Zhang family in Puzhou and met Zhang Qitai himself. Do you dare to come and meet?"

Bull Venus?
Wang Yi and the others looked at each other, nervous and excited at the same time, thinking to themselves that Niu Jinxing was here, it must be true that this group of enemy troops were Azig's subordinates.

"Oh, I know Niu Jinxing!" Zhang Qitai yelled, and asked for instructions, "Three adults, what should I do?"

"Of course we met him, let's talk in more detail!" Xia Wanchun pulled Zhang Qitai off the chariot and said decisively, "Let's go, I will accompany you to meet Niu Jinxing."

"Lord Xiaoxia, let me go." Cao Huachun said with burning eyes.

"Azig is nearby. As an ambassador, I should be the one to act." Xia Wanchun argued.

However, Cao Huachun said: "Azig hasn't shown up yet. It's his master Niu Jinxing who came here. Naturally, the deputy governor, the governor, should be allowed to negotiate. Besides, whether there will be any progress in the follow-up depends on how this negotiation goes. It's not that the governor underestimated it." Mrs. Xiaoxia, but His Majesty said that our family is more suitable for dealing with people. Talking about people and talking about ghosts are our family's specialty. Mrs. Xiaoxia has read poetry and books, but he may not know how to negotiate with these desperadoes. "

Xia Wanchun thought for a while, and said, "Forget it, I have to thank Cao Factory Superintendent."

Cao Huachun first asked Zhang Qitai to speak and told Niu Jinxing that the two sides could start friendly negotiations.

When Niu Jinxing agreed, the two of them rode out of the camp on horseback, without guards or weapons, and walked hundreds of meters forward at the risk of their own lives.

Wang Yi clenched his fists and ordered: "If the enemy makes any movement, fire immediately and rush out to rescue Director Cao!"

Niu Jinxing felt relieved when he saw that there were only two people coming from the other party. Surrounded by four soldiers, he rode forward.

Still ten steps away, Niu Jinxing tightened the reins and stopped his mount. He squinted his eyes for a while and finally nodded with a smile: "Sure enough, it is Zhang Qitai himself who is here. Mr. Zhang, I haven't seen you for many years. How are you?"

Zhang Qitai exchanged some greetings, then cupped his hands and said, "Master Niu, why are you here? We are old friends, and we fought each other. It's really a flood that washed into the Dragon King Temple. Isn't this a joke?"

Niu Jinxing said coldly: "Speaking of which, I do have some friendship with you, but it would be an exaggeration to say that it is my family. No one asks you if you are poor in the downtown area, and have distant relatives in the mountains if you are rich. Can we become our own family? It all depends on Mr. Zhang’s sincerity! How about this, a one-buy price, give 10 taels of silver, and the old man will let your caravan leave!”

Zhang Qitai didn't open his mouth, and Cao Huachun, who was on the side, smiled strangely: "You have thousands of elite soldiers, but you can only do robbery and rob caravans, and you only need a mere 10 taels of silver. Hey, Niu Jinxing, Niu Jinxing, you are living better and better!" gone back!"

"Who are you? The toad yawned so loudly!" Niu Jinxing raised his triangular eyes and asked angrily.

"Cao Huachun, the admiral of the West Factory of the Ming Dynasty!"

"What?" Niu Jinxing almost fell off his horse, recovered his senses, and shouted, "Fire the arrow, shoot the hermaphrodite to death!"

Cao Huachun straightened his body, and said unhurriedly: "It's okay to shoot the governor, but you, Niu Jinxing, will miss out on a great event of glory and wealth, and ruin Azig's event, so don't regret it."

"What did you say?"

"To tell you the truth, the purpose of this governor's trip to the north is to find Azig and cooperate with him. If Azig is willing, the governor can make him the prince again!"

Niu Jinxing frowned like a twist, and said: "Don't lie, we are deadly enemies, why should we trust you?"

"In this world, there are no permanent friends, nor permanent enemies, only permanent interests." Cao Huachun kicked the horse's belly lightly, and took a few steps forward, almost face to face with Niu Jinxing.

He squinted his eyes, showing a contemptuous expression: "The matter is very important, and the governor wants to discuss it with Azig face to face. You Niu Jinxing is not qualified, take our family to see your master as soon as possible!"

Cao Huachun is worthy of being a master negotiator, his contemptuous and unruly attitude shocked Niu Jinxing all of a sudden.

Niu Jinxing thought for a while and said, "Prince Ying is in the mountains. If you want to see him, you have to go back to the village with me. But to show your sincerity, you are not allowed to bring your men, and during the negotiation, you have to order the soldiers to lay down their weapons." .”

"It's impossible to put down your weapons. The governor can only guarantee that he will never take the initiative to fight!" Cao Huachun said beyond doubt.
