The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

Today is the third day of February, and there are three more days until the vernal equinox, but there is no sign of spring coming in front of Zhang Fan.Although there is no snow on the hall, the Ju Yanhai in front of me is still very frozen. I heard from the people here that it would be good to be able to thaw in April.

I answered that he kept his word. Of course, he personally led 1 people to escort Zhang Fan and others for his own great cause of reunification.

The merchants in the team were quite worried, not because they knew any news, but because they came out this winter, and they all made a lot of money.Although the herdsmen only exchanged things with them, the tea bricks and coarse cloth they brought, which were worthless in the Ming Dynasty, were exchanged for many valuable things, such as leather, spices, medicinal materials, etc. Escorting always makes them feel a little uneasy.

The officials of the Ministry of Rituals on the mission all acted as if they were bitter and bitter, and their faces were drooping like eggplants beaten by frost.Especially the envoy Longqing sent to communicate with Alta later, his face turned pale with fright, and he secretly regretted why he volunteered to take this job.

The spies of Jin Yiwei and Dongchang also knew the news. Although they looked calm and fearless on their faces, they all scolded those colleagues who stayed behind to inquire about the news.

On the contrary, Zhang Fan acted proudly, not because he wasn't afraid of death, but because he was thinking about it, and he couldn't hide anyway.What's more, now that there are beauties by their side, the two of them are in love with each other for a while, which arouses the envy of others.

After leaving Yiji, because of the large number of people, it took a day to arrive.This place is always mountainous, but it is not suitable for ambushes, and everyone feels at ease.

An Da and the Yiqian Ming Army sent out a large number of scouts every day to find out if there was an ambush ahead, and it was annoying to be cautious.

"My lord, if there is a war, these merchants..." Zhao Ming asked Zhang Fan from the side.

"Most of the reason why the emperor sent troops to reflect on our mission this time is because of these businessmen." Zhang Fan said, "It is natural to protect their safety at that time. But you have to send someone to watch out for me. If anyone dares to If you disobey and disturb the morale of the army, don't be merciful."

"I understand." Zhao Ming took the order and started to make arrangements.

Zhang Fan's orders were very cold, even ruthless, but doing extraordinary things at an extraordinary time, the current situation is intolerable, and he softened his heart.

Zhang Fan, who was in deep thought, suddenly felt that someone was looking at him, and turned around to see that it was Li Yingyue.Zhang Fan couldn't help but said, "Why, do you think I'm a bit cruel?"

Li Yingyue shook her head with a smile, and said softly: "I know that Brother Fan is not that kind of person, not to mention that Brother Fan is doing this to save them, how could he be cruel."

Zhang Fan couldn't help feeling that while Yingyue was submissive, she was also very reasonable, perhaps because she took care of the warmth and coldness of human relationships, she had no womanly kindness at all.But thinking about it, Zhang Fan sized her up, and couldn't help thinking: "Fortunately, Yingyue is very cute. If she was that kind of shrew, I would..." Zhang Fan shivered for a while if she didn't come.

"What's the matter, Brother Fan, but the weather is too cold, do you want to add more clothes?" Li Yingyue's heart is now on Zhang Fan, and she pays close attention to him.

"It's okay, it's not in the way." Zhang Fan said quickly.

Everyone seeks stability, and the road is also very slow.I sent someone to look for Zhang Fan, saying that he wanted to put all the goods of those merchants in the car, so that if something happened, he could run faster.Zhang Fan agreed, but those businessmen refused to do so, thinking that the Tartars wanted to force their own things.Officials such as Zhang Fan and Wang Xilie talked badly, which made them give up.But looking at the goods guarded by the Tartars one by one, seeing the scimitars in the hands of the Tartar soldiers, they still stared at their own things nervously under the lingering fear.

This time, in order to avoid possible pursuit, Zhang Fan and Al Da discussed and decided to take the shortest route and go straight to Ningxia Wei.In this way, not only can Tatar shorten the distance, but also facilitate Wang Chonggu's response when the incident happens.

Everyone walked and prayed all the way, but what should have happened still happened.

On the third day, half of the journey was gone.Alda's subordinates used eagles specially trained by the Tatars to find out whether there was a large group of troops ahead. Although it was not very accurate, it was extremely fast.

"My lord, let me ask someone to invite you over, and say we have something to talk about." Zhao Ming reported to Zhang Fan.

After hearing what he said, Zhang Fan could already guess in his mind.When I came to my answering place, I saw him talking with his subordinates.Seeing Zhang Fan, I immediately called him to my side and said to him, "There are many people in the fifty miles ahead."

"Can Tuhan find out where the troops are?" Zhang Fan asked, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that the people who came were reinforcements sent by Wang Chonggu.

"I don't know yet, but I have sent someone to investigate." I replied.

While everyone was waiting anxiously, it took a long time before they saw a scout flying horse coming.

"Reporter Khan." The scout got off his horse, bowed hastily, and immediately said, "The army of nearly 2 people in front is approaching us. Judging by their attire, they are from the Ministry of Helin!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and An Da even gritted his teeth and said, "Sangville, you old dog really betrayed me."

Zhang Fan didn't know what grievances I Da had with this Sanvir, and he didn't want to know, so he hurriedly said, "Tukhan, when you are angry from time to time, you should quickly think of a solution."

When he said this, I immediately calmed down and said: "Sangville is insidious and cunning, and it is said that there is a man who defected from your Ming Dynasty as an adviser. Since he came out, then that Bayans who slept with a woman with him It's coming too, I guess he will lead his people to chase from the west of Yiji Naigeng in order to prevent being discovered. Now we are blocked at both ends!" After finishing speaking, he immediately sent another scout with good eyesight to climb up the Yiji Naigeng The top of Thorn Mountain looked back.

When Zhang Fan heard his words, his heart suddenly cooled down.But now is not the time to feel sorry for yourself. After thinking about it for a while, he said, "What is Tuhan's plan now?"

I answer that I am worthy of being a hero, and I am not afraid of being in danger, but: "I have nothing to do now."

"For the current plan, there is only one way out." Zhang Fan said, "Now we are facing enemies, we can only put aside our fear and move forward, maybe we can still have a glimmer of life."

After hearing his words, everyone felt that he was looking for death, but I replied after thinking about it, and said: "Master Zhang is right. If you continue to stay here, when the time comes, people from both sides will rush forward together, and there will be no way out." .It is better to go straight forward and leave the pursuers behind, so that the number of enemies will be reduced by half."

"Tu Khan is wise." Zhang Fan complimented, but it was not empty words.

At this time, the scouts who went up the mountain to inquire also came back.Sure enough, there were 2 people rushing here. Although the distance was still far, it was only less than a day's journey.

In this way, everyone is determined to break through the encirclement.I even made a plan and ordered my bodyguard, Battelle, to protect Zhang Fan and lead him to break through if necessary. After all, Zhang Fan is very important to him now.

The army began to speed up, everyone understood, even the businessmen saw some clues, but what is reassuring is that they are quite calm, maybe when they decided to come here, they had already made up their minds Prepare.

Li Yingyue galloped along beside Zhang Fan, and the two looked at each other without speaking.Li Yingyue had already made a plan, and she would die with him.

The two parties walked towards each other and met within half an hour.When the other party saw his prey appear, those Tartars in front even showed a sinister smile!But when he saw his prey not only didn't show any frightened expression, he just rushed over without even a single pause.

This was a little dazed, and the cavalry of I Da's subordinates had already rushed in, disrupting the enemy formation.The people behind quickly guarded Zhang Fan and the caravan as they passed by.

After all, there were many enemies. After a little confusion, the leader of the army immediately regrouped and began to encircle and suppress them, even sending people to intercept Zhang Fan and the others.Zhang Fan and the others, who were traveling extremely slowly, were immediately overtaken.The Tartars of the Helin Ministry got the order from the leader, obviously wanting to kill everyone in front of them.

The scuffle started, blood and broken limbs were flying, and the bloody air was filled with screams, and those who screamed the most were of course the injured businessmen.

After all, Zhang Fan is an experienced person, and with Wang Meng and Battelle guarding him, there is no danger for the time being.In his free time, he saw that Yingyue was actually holding a long knife from nowhere, and three people fell under her knife, so he couldn't help but look at her differently!

At first, the crowd could resist it, but after a long time, the advantage of the opponent's large number of people immediately appeared.Coupled with the need to protect the caravan, the casualties suddenly became heavy.

As a person who retreated from the battlefield, Wang Meng's combat skills have not weakened at all. On the contrary, because of the extraordinary torture methods in Jinyiwei, the ultimate moves are even more powerful, causing people to die.

Battelle lived up to my evaluation of him in the slightest, and he ignored the pain while being brave.Years of fighting had left his body covered with scars, and his ability to resist blows was even more outstanding. Coupled with the heavy winter clothes and armor, it would be impossible to hurt him if he didn't use his strength.The moves are vigorous and heavy, the knives and knives break people's bones, and they show no mercy to their own compatriots.

But it was precisely because of the guards of the two fierce generals that Zhang Fan immediately attracted the attention of the enemy, and more Tartars rushed to this side.Seeing that he was about to be surrounded by the enemy, Battelle came to Zhang Fan and said to him in not-so-fluent Chinese: "Master Zhang, I will protect you to break through."

"How could I escape alone?" Zhang Fan said.

"This is what Tuhan meant." Battelle didn't say much.

Zhang Fan understood what he meant in an instant, and now that he and I Da had made an oath, it became more important.Wang Meng didn't say anything, seeing Zhang Fan acquiesced, he immediately went to kill a bloody path.

Yingyue, a powerful woman, personally guards her Ailang.The three rushed out of the enemy's formation and ran southward at full speed, with Battelle entangled the enemy behind them.But there were too many enemies, and some of them went after Zhang Fan, the rightful lord.

The chase is going on here, and the fight over there is also going on. The 1 soldiers I answered are all carefully selected by him. They stand bravely, but the opponent is twice as big as him. Gradually, Started to feel overwhelmed.

The fighting continued until night, and the side fought and retreated, and had reached the edge of an inland river.This river flows down from a high mountain in Daming territory, the water is quite fast, but it does not freeze.Everyone has come here, and there is no way to retreat.At this time, the chasing army from behind also rushed over.

The 8000 army is facing the exhausted army with only [-] people left, and it is a deadly situation!

Two teams of troops rushed out from the enemy's formation, escorting them and walking slowly to the front of the formation.One of them looked at me and said with a smile, "Lord Tuhan, I never thought you would really help the people of the Southern Dynasty!"

"Sanvir, you still know that I am Khan! You dare to attack me, aren't you afraid that everyone will turn against you!" I replied sharply.

"What did Master Tu Khan say!" Another person said, "We are here to kill the Southern Dynasty troops who broke into our Tatar territory. It's just that Tu Khan took the lead and died at the hands of the Southern Dynasty people!"

"Bayans, do you and Sanwell want to start a war between the Ming Dynasty and our Tatars!" I replied loudly.

"Don't dare, but those arrogant nobles may not be sure." Sanwell said with a sly smile, "At that time, let them fight the Southern Dynasty to the death. This Tatar will sooner or later be our world."

"One mountain cannot contain two tigers, Bayans, and I don't think Sanville will spare you when the time comes." I replied.

"Tu Khan doesn't need to separate us." Bayans said, "I know that I am not strong enough, so I have already sworn allegiance to Sanvir Khan."

"It's up to you!" I Da looked at Sanville contemptuously, and said, "Only you, Sanville, dare to say hello!"

Sanwell seemed to hate the tone of my answer, and couldn't help being a little annoyed, and ordered: "Kill them all for me."

Immediately, the subordinates who got the order swarmed up.Seeing that it is about to rush, I Da and everyone in the Ming Dynasty are waiting in full battle.A rain of arrows flew from nowhere, and in an instant, all the charging Tartars fell down.

The rescued people were a little baffled, and suddenly someone shouted: "Look!"

To the east, countless torches were lit on the pitch-black desert, and they were moving rapidly towards this side, and the rumbling sound of galloping horses could be faintly heard in the ears.

Sanwell and Bayans were a little stunned, and the two who came back to their senses couldn't help but panic when they saw I replied that their reinforcements had arrived.Judging by the number of torches, there may be 7 to [-] people.There is a river in front of you, if you don't retreat and wait here, you will definitely die.

"Quick... retreat!" "Retreat!" Sanville and Bayans hurriedly ordered their subordinates to retreat.Nearly [-] troops immediately became chaotic.

The men and horses brought approached, but the enemy had already fled far away.

"My lord!" The visitor shouted loudly with the torches held by the guards.

"This old man is here." Wang Xilie hurriedly responded, and came out with some disheveled clothes.

The people who came were led by Wang Chonggu himself, but there were only 3 people who came, but each of them held two torches in their hands.It was these torches that scared the enemy away just now.

When everyone met, I thanked Wang Chonggu, who had fought against me for so many years. The two of them didn't meet each other as enemies, but they felt a little sympathetic to each other.

"Lord Wang, why did the genius come so late!" Wang Xilie didn't blame him, he knew very well what Wang Chonggu was like, he just wanted to ask about the situation.

"Don't mention it." Wang Chonggu felt a little helpless.It turned out that last year, the person who tipped off the Tatars made another move this time, blocking the person who came to ask for help.Fortunately, Wang Chonggu had been on guard against him for a long time and had been sending people to monitor him, so he discovered this in time.

After counting the number of people, it was found that not many of the merchants had died, and only more than 200 of the thousand Ming soldiers who guarded them had died.But the 1 people I answered were a lot of casualties.

While everyone was talking, Battelle was carried out with many bruises, and said hoarsely, "Tuhan, Battelle is sorry for you, Master Zhang whom you want me to protect is missing."

"What!" Everyone was shocked!
