The Ming Dynasty started with caution

The imperial court sent people 800 miles away to deliver a message to Dayan Khan. The imperial court was already raising food and it would take some time.

Although Ningxia's military warehouse has about 300,000 shi of food.

But the imperial court still decided to raise another 300,000 stones of grain. If the grain from the Ningxia military warehouse was given to Dayan Khan, and he attacked the city on the spot, but he was out of grain, wouldn't he lose his wife and lose his troops?

To rescue a few generals, he would naturally not mobilize the Beijing camp to go on an expedition. Wang Yue secretly sent people to mobilize the troops of Yansui and Gansu, and the forces of the three sides gathered in Ningxia.

Half a month passed like this.

"Don't worry, my dear nephew, Dayan Khan will not act rashly without food in his hands." Wang Yue comforted Yan Chengjin.

Now we need to delay time and let the troops from Yansui and Gansu gather in Ningxia.

Of course Yan Chengjin knew that since Dayan Khan wanted to exchange for food, he would not sacrifice the chips.

………………

Outside Ningxia City, about a hundred miles away in the Tatar military tent, Dayan Khan was here.

In a fairly large tent, Yan Kesong and Zuo Zongyi were under house arrest. Dayan Khan's generals, Huhe Bari, were personally guarding them.

At this time, Yan Kesong was sitting in front of the desk, concentrating on writing a book.

This is the latest manuscript that Yan Chengjin asked Fang Guanshi to secretly bring to him.

Writing a book while guarding the border didn't tell Emperor Hongzhi that the border guard was not doing his job properly?

Therefore, Yan Chengjin asked him to write it secretly, so as not to expose it to the public, and then print and distribute it to Lao Wang Bookstore when he returned to the capital.

But now that he has been captured by the Tatars, who knows how many days he will survive, so it doesn’t matter.

Wang Zongyi thought he was writing his last words. When he saw the big words "Earl of Helan Mountain" written on the cover of the book, he couldn't help but curl his lips: "The knife is on the neck, but Brother Cangjin is still thinking about writing a book."

Yan Kesong let out a long sigh: "I wonder if Your Majesty will exchange food for us. If you die here, I want to leave a legacy for my son."

There is a food shortage on all sides. The severe cold has greatly reduced food production. It is just past April, which is not the time to harvest food. Three hundred thousand stone grain is not a small amount.

Despite Dayan Khan's preferential treatment to them, if the news from the court was not changed, Dayan Khan would immediately kill a few of them.

Wang Zongyi smiled awkwardly: "Brother Cang Jin, I also have a few last words to express."

It was night, and outside the big tent, pots of flames were lit.

The central Tatar tent.

A Tatar's fast horse went straight to the tent. The Tatar dismounted and rushed into the tent: "Great Khan, urgent report! The Ming troops from Yansui and Gansu are secretly gathering here."

Dayan Khan squinted his eyes and started thinking.

Half a month ago, he received the decree from the Ming court and was willing to exchange, but he just had to wait for some time.

He had long heard that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was a kind man, and he had no doubts. As long as he was willing to change, he would naturally be willing to wait. After all, it would take time to raise funds.

Now it seems that Daming just wants to delay time.

Dayan Khan's face became grim: "They are going to fight me. These two people are useless. Ming Dynasty has no intention of replacing them. They dragged them out, killed them, and threw their heads into Ningxia City."

Wang Zongyi was a little scared. The firelight kept flashing outside the big tent tonight, and it seemed a bit chaotic.

"Brother Cangjin, come and take a look."

At this moment, a burly man walked quickly into the big tent. It was the general guarding them, Huhe Bari.

"The Great Khan wants to kill you and throw your bodies into Ningxia City to vent his anger."

Yan Kesong's heart suddenly thumped.

Unexpectedly, what Huhe Bari said next shocked him even more.

"Sir, pack your bags. Huheba Ri will take you back to the city tonight!"

There was a lot of information, and Yan Kesong and Wang Zongyi were a little confused.

Yan Kesong was a little confused: "Why did you save us? If you let us go, wouldn't it be betraying the country and surrendering to the enemy, betraying Dayan Khan, and betraying the grassland?"

"My ancestor was Dr. Guanglu of the Yuan Dynasty. He once warned his descendants that there is much to learn from the culture of the Han people. He married a Han man. My grandmother is also a Han man. I have Han blood in my body. Huhe Bari I respect heroes, like to read Han people's books, and am impressed by his works. If he dies here, there will be one less writer in the world," Huheba Ri said.

No wonder he can speak Chinese and understand the books he wrote.

In fact, Yan Kesong didn't know that Tatars like Huhebari who were not of pure blood were not welcomed in the army.

However, Huhebari relied on his powerful force and the military strategies learned from Han military books to become a general under Dayan Khan.

The moon and stars were sparse, and the executed Tatars were sharpening their knives in front of the tent.

Yan Kesong and Wang Zongyi were well prepared. In fact, as long as they brought some manuscripts, nothing else mattered. Clothes and other things were just cumbersome things.

There are soldiers patrolling outside the account from time to time, in teams of ten, patrolling once every quarter of an hour.

Huheba Ri came to the tent with several more soldiers, changed Yan Kesong into a Tatar military uniform, and went to the stable to lead some strong horses.

The guard at the gate of the military tent said to Huheba Ri: "General, you still want to go out so late?"

"This general has been ordered to patrol, let me go!" Huhe Bari shouted.

The crossbar was removed, and a dozen war horses galloped out. When they were a mile away, a horn sounded behind them to warn of the enemy's situation, and flames shot into the sky.

Huheba Ri looked back and shouted: "Dayan Khan is coming after me. Sir, run away. I'll wait here to meet him!" He raised his spear.

Yan Kesong said: "You go with me!"

Huheba Ri smiled bitterly: "Today I betrayed Dayan Khan, and I will never be able to return to the grassland. As a Tatar, how can I enter the territory of the Ming Dynasty? It is better to die here."

Yan Kesong scolded: "Nonsense! You have my Han blood, so you are my Ming people. My Ming Dynasty never discriminates against compatriots. Lord Wang, you say!"

Wang Zongyi nodded: "You and I have saved our lives!"

Huheba Ri was grateful and dismounted immediately: "Thank you, sir. I am afraid that the name Bahe Huri cannot be used when I go to the Ming Dynasty. Please give me a name!"

Yan Kesong thought quickly: "You are strong in martial arts, use spears as weapons, and can read articles. Why not call me Lin Song?"

Huheba Ri was delighted. He liked this name, "Lin Song, thank you, sir!"

The group did not dare to delay and rushed to the gate of Ningxia.

A month has passed since they received the news. The court has allocated grain from various places. Three hundred thousand stones have been prepared and they are finally going to set off.

Some officials impeached the Ministry of War and the Five Military Commandery for lax defense. The Ningxia border troops were stationed outside the city, which gave Dayan Khan an opportunity to take advantage of and caused the court to suffer such a huge loss.

Wang Yue was criticized because it was when he was the general of the three borders that the general's tent was set up outside the Ningxia city. In addition, the morale of the Helan Mountain soldiers was soaring, and the border troops relaxed their vigilance and did not withdraw the barracks back to the city.

Wang Yue cursed: "Huh! A bunch of stinky scholars who can only talk, how can you know that my actions are not to disturb the people in the border city."

Yan Chengjin said: "Your Excellency, you should be more stable on this trip."

Zhang Mao rode on a big horse, his face flying: "You are the son of Anding Bo, right? This country will definitely rescue your father, don't worry."

He was excited to finally lead the army to go to war!

He wished that Dayan Khan would capture Anding Bo a few more times so that he could charge into the battle and take down Dayan Khan's lair.

Knowing how long this Duke of England had been holding back, with the title of general, he had only fought a few battles in his life. Yan Chengjin said: "The Duke of England is so majestic on horseback!"

A eunuch ran over breathlessly: "No need, no need to go to war, Anding Bo used his talent to influence the Tatar general, no need to go to war..."

Talent, influence?

Generals such as Wang Yue and Zhang Mao were stunned.
