"Zhenren Chen, do you think these officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty can really cross the Helan Mountain without going through the passes?"
In a Tatar tribe 40 miles away from Deng Kui's camp, the tribe leader Hasullah asked his guest Chen Guanyu in a questioning tone for the hundredth time.
Chen Guanyu sat firmly cross-legged on the carpet of Has'ullah's tent and replied in a nonchalant manner: "Leader Has, don't worry. Don't you still believe what I say?"
In the past few years, Chen Guanyu followed Su Hao to many places all over the world. The scenes he experienced became bigger and bigger, and he became more and more confident. Today, he is no longer the person who only pretended to be a ghost and cheated for food.
An old magician, but a seasoned Taoist who can consider himself a real person.
Following Su Hao's orders, Chen Guanyu led a group of people from three religions and nine streams into the grasslands, infiltrated various tribes, and gathered information. With his sharp tongue and a few chemistry tricks taught to him by Su Hao, Chen Guanyu
He successfully deceived a large number of tribal leaders and became their guests, cheating and drinking all day long, so he was very happy.
Has'ullah was the leader of a small Tatar tribe at the western foot of Helan Mountain. Chen Guanyu helped him cure his wife's illness, thus winning the trust of Has'ullah. At that time, Kueibai fled into the grassland and regained his own
He had great power in his tribe, and began to threaten other small tribes, demanding their submission. Has'ullah had no good impression of Kuabai, but was frightened by his power, and did not know how to make a choice.
At this time, Chen Guanyu offered a plan to Has'ullah, persuading him to submit to the Ming Dynasty and submit to the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty. He also said that the Ming Dynasty would wipe out Kuaibai as soon as possible, and then Has'ullah would be able to receive the remnants of Kuaibai, thus strengthening his own power.
.
Hassullah was so fascinated by the bright prospects described by Chen Guanyu that he resolutely agreed to serve as an internal agent on the grassland for the Ming army. Deng Kui's subordinates came to fight with him after receiving the news sent by Chen Guanyu.
Contacted by Has'ullah.
The nomadic people live on the vast grasslands, and their fortunes and misfortunes are all related to the sky, so they are more superstitious than the farming people. Chen Guanyu claims to be the Taoist man. Just talk about divination in the Central Plains can make the Tatars
Tatar herdsmen find it mysterious and unpredictable, thus establishing a lofty status in the hearts of the herdsmen.
In response to Chen Guanyu's rhetorical question, Hasulla was speechless. After being silent for a while, he said calmly: "I naturally believe what the real person said. It's just that Helan Mountain is full of cliffs and deep valleys, except for a few passes.
Besides, those of us who have lived here all year round don’t know that there are other ways to go. How can you people from the Central Plains know?”
Chen Guanyu laughed loudly and said: "Hasn't Chief Haas heard of a saying in the Central Plains? It's called a scholar who doesn't go out and can know the world's affairs. Do you think this real person is quite decent? In my house, the deputy chief soldier
In front of me, this little bit of Taoism is simply not enough. My deputy commander was called an underground master back then. He knew where gold mines were hidden even though he was thousands of miles away. In his old man's place, let alone find one.
Road. Even if you use magic power to open a road, it is just an ordinary thing."
"Are you talking about Deputy Commander-in-Chief Su?" Hasullah opened his mouth wide with admiration on his face. Regarding Su Hao's situation, Chen Guanyu had introduced him to him, and every time
What he said was even more sinister than the last time. Hasullah had already equated Su Hao with the gods in his heart.
"Except for his old man, who do you think I have ever convinced?" Chen Guanyu said.
Chen Guanyu was not lying when he said that he was convinced by Su Hao. The longer he spent time with Su Hao, the stronger Chen Guanyu's admiration for Su Hao became. The first time they met was while gambling in the countryside of Fengcheng.
Naturally, Chen Guanyu was completely defeated that time in the well location competition, but at that time, he just thought that Su Hao was somewhat knowledgeable. In the past few years, Su Hao has repeatedly shown amazing insights, from inventing various technologies to
Pointing out the mineral deposits to everyone, there was almost no mistake, which made Chen Guanyu really confused about the mystery. Chen Guanyu had seen many kinds of pretending to be gods and ghosts. He was also an expert at pretending to be gods and ghosts, but he knew that Su
Hao's magic is definitely not fake, and Su Hao is definitely a person with great abilities.
Trusting Su Hao is one thing. But whether the Ming army can successfully cross the Helan Mountains is another matter. Chen Guanyu is also unsure about this matter. After all, this has never been done before.
Based on the few maps surveyed and mapped by the survey camp, could the Ming army really find a passage in the uninhabited mountains? Chen Guanyu said he was sure to Hassullah, but he was also beating drums in his heart.
"Okay...but, when will the Ming's heavenly soldiers arrive? Kuaibai sends people here every two days, asking us to obey his orders. If the heavenly soldiers don't arrive, I won't be able to hold on anymore." Hasullah
Not daring to continue arguing with Chen Guanyu, he turned to look outside the tent and muttered sadly.
"There's no hurry, it's quick, it's quick..." Chen Guanyu said perfunctorily.
The two of them were depressed with their own thoughts. A herdsman ran over from outside the camp. He rushed into Hasullah's camp and reported loudly: "Chief, chief, three Han people have come outside. Call them by name."
See you and Master Chen."
"Coming?" Hassula stood up and asked Chen Guanyu in surprise.
"So fast?" Chen Guanyu was shocked. He stood up after Hasullah, calmed down a little, and said: "Has leader, don't be anxious first, find out who the person is. I worship that traitor.
There are also many Han people in the camp, could it be that the news about us leaked and Kuai Bai was provoked?"
"Yes, yes, Master Chen reminded me very much. Come on, be on guard, don't mess up your position, wait for me and Master Chen to go out and have a look." Hasullah ordered.
More than a hundred warriors from the tribe quickly gathered. They were armed with sabers and simple armor. They followed behind Hasullah and Chen Guanyu on horseback and walked towards the camp gate. Chen Guanyu rode on
Immediately, he held the reins with one hand and stood in front of his chest with the other hand. As he walked, he kept reciting the Taoist slogan silently in his mouth, and various thoughts were spinning rapidly in his heart.
Whether he is alive or dead, we will know soon.
Outside the camp, Xiong Minyang and three other people were sweating and uneasy. There was no expression of anxiety or nervousness on their faces, but each of them had a hand on the musket, ready to deal with various possibilities at any time.
Accidents occurred.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Lord!" A clear chant rang in the ears of Xiong Minyang and others, and then, Chen Guanyu's solemn yet wretched face appeared in front of them.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, is it really Taoist Xiong?" When Chen Guanyu saw Xiong Minyang, his heart finally fell to the ground, and he was filled with ecstasy.
Xiong Minyang saw the joy on Chen Guanyu's face and knew that everything was going well, and his heart suddenly felt at ease. He subconsciously replied: "Infinite Heavenly Lord, Chen Laodao, are you okay?"
"Everything is fine, I'm fine, old man." Chen Guanyu laughed loudly, "Come on, Mr. Xiong, let me introduce to you, this is the leader of Haas."
Xiong Min turned his head, looked at Haasullah, smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said: "Chief Haas, Chief Xiong Minyang of Kanyu Camp Firearms, this is just polite."
"Mr. Xiong, it's not easy to come from afar. This, this... I'm polite." Hasullah didn't know how to call himself, so he could only imitate the people from the Central Plains and call himself "I".
Xiong Minyang had no reaction to Hasullah's self-effacing remarks. This kind of tribal leader was just equivalent to a village chief in the Central Plains. He was not worthy of Xiong Minyang's compliments. If it weren't for the fact that he had to rely on the other party's strength, Xiong Minyang might not even be able to win.
I didn't even bother to say hello to him.
"Chief Haas, our army has successfully crossed the Helan Mountains under the command of Deng Zhongjun, and is now resting at the foot of the mountain. Deng Zhongjun sent me to ask the leader that you have expressed your intention to submit to the Ming Dynasty through Daozhang Chen, and are willing to act as an internal agent for my army.
Now that my army has arrived, has there been any change in what you promised?" Xiong Minyang asked Has'ullah in a light tone.
In Has'ullah's eyes, Xiong Minyang's arrogance was that of an envoy from a great country. He brought hundreds of fully armed subordinates with him, while the other party only had three people, but they did not show any timidity at all. This courage was obviously
Strength is the guarantee. He bowed slightly to Xiong Min and said: "President Xiong Bao, I am willing to join the Ming Dynasty. There is no doubt about it. Where is Deng Zhongjun now? Could you please introduce me to him, President Xiong Bao?"
There is a way! Xiong Minyang was happy in his heart, but his face did not show it at all. He nodded and said: "I am very relieved that Chief Haas can keep his promise. Deng Zhongjun is resting in the camp now. If Chief Haas wants to see you, please follow me.
go together."
"That's what I mean." Hasullah responded.
After saying this, Has'ullah turned around and began to give orders to his men. For a moment, the entire tribe became busy. A beautiful girl came out with milk tea and offered tea to Xiong Minyang and others. Seeing the charming look in their eyes
With the way they were flowing, it was probably not too much to ask them to sacrifice themselves. There was also a young man who quickly caught a dozen fat sheep, tied them up and put them on the horse, probably to give gifts to Deng Kui.
use.
After everything was tidied up, Hasullah bowed to the sky a few more times, then got on his horse and said to Xiong Minyang and others: "Mr. Xiong, everyone, let's set off now."
Someone had already brought the horses prepared for Xiong Minyang and the others. Xiong Minyang, Liao Yiming and Yin Guoxian got on the horses, pointed forward with their hands, and said, "Let's go."
Xiong Minyang and others led the way, followed closely by Hasulla and Chen Guanyu, followed by dozens of herdsmen on horseback carrying fat sheep and wine bags, galloping towards the Ming army camp.
