The strange person Xia Bangxing was talking about was naturally Chen Guanyu, a veteran who was among the Tatar tribes. After instigating the rebellion of the Hasiulla tribe and helping Deng Kui successfully annihilate the Abai tribe, Chen Guanyu went to the Tatars in the Hetao area. He continued to engage in his great business of deception. With his sharp tongue, he won the favor of many tribes. He cheated and drank all day long, and occasionally had a Tatar girl to sleep with him. His life was extremely comfortable. .
Xia Bangxing came to the Hetao area with Bu Shitu. After arriving, he followed Bu Shitu's instructions and contacted the leaders of each tribe, persuading them to leave Litu and support Bu Shitu. In this process He heard people talk about how great Taoist Chen was in Zhongyuan several times, and he couldn't help but become curious. After being introduced by a tribal leader, he finally met this mysterious Taoist and learned about Chen Guanyu's The art of verticality and horizontality.
As a knowledgeable counselor, Xia Bangxing would naturally not be fooled by Chen Guanyu's iron mouth. He knew that such wandering Taoist priests relied on their words to make a living, and what they said was more false than true. Acceptable. However, he was somewhat interested in Chen Guanyu's experience. He had already heard that Su Hao was a dark horse in the Ming army, and Chen Guanyu said that he had an old relationship with Su Hao, so that was someone worth paying attention to. Character.
Xia Bangxing had always had some doubts about fighting the Ming army. After receiving the invitation from Zhulitu, Bu Shitu happily headed to Ningxia with tens of thousands of troops. Xia Bangxing could not stop him, so he could only follow him and prepare. Look for the right moment to persuade Bu Shitu to think twice. Now that Bu Shitu has suffered a loss from the Ming army, he is beginning to think about retreating. Xia Bangxing just takes the opportunity to make a suggestion, suggesting that Bu Shitu negotiate peace with the Ming army and not fight with each other.
After getting Bu Shitu's approval, Xia Bangxing immediately went out to find Chen Guanyu. He rode a horse around the camp and found Chen Guanyu among a group of Tatar officers and soldiers. At that time, the old Taoist was spitting. He was bragging about Su Hao's magical abilities to the officers and soldiers. You know, most of the exaggerated legends about Su Hao in the Tatar camp came from Chen Guanyu.
"Daozhang Chen, can you please take a moment to speak?" Xia Bangxing stepped forward, saluted Chen Guanyu, and said.
The Tatar officers and soldiers recognized Xia Bangxing from the color of his clothes as a senior official next to Bu Shitu, so they naturally did not dare to make a mistake. They stood up one by one and stood aside to stand in silence. Chen Guanyu was originally sitting on the ground with his legs crossed. On a blanket. Seeing this, he quickly stood up, returned a salute to Xia Bangxing, and said, "Where did Xia Bangxing come from? I'm a poor man who couldn't greet you from far away. Please forgive me."
Xia Bangxing waved his hand and said, "There is no need to be polite, Taoist Chen. Xia is here to ask Taoist Chen to go to the big tent to talk about it on the orders of my prince."
"Your Majesty?" The Tatar officers and soldiers surrounding them opened their mouths wide and cast admiring glances at Chen Guanyu. What an honor it is to be personally received by Bu Shitu. It seems that Chen Daochang's His Taoism is so high that he can already alarm the young prince. When I see Daozhang Chen again in the future, I should be more respectful no matter what.
Hearing Xia Bangxing's words, Chen Guanyu was also shocked. He was an intelligence officer sent by Su Hao. He spent all day hanging around in the Tatar camp, which was actually equivalent to dancing on the tip of a knife. He usually fooled the leaders of the small tribes. There is no problem. Because the Tatars have always respected Taoism in the Central Plains and will not embarrass him as a Taoist. But going to see the fortune teller is another matter, especially after the Kanyu camp just severely damaged the Tatar army. .Will Shitutu vent all his anger on him?
Although he was muttering in his heart, there was no timidity on Chen Guanyu's face. What was outstanding about him was that he had a very stable psychological quality. When encountering such a big thing, he could pretend to be nothing.
.
"It is the honor of the poor man to be summoned by the prince, but I don't know what the prince's advice is for summoning the poor man." Chen Guanyu asked Xia Bangxing.
Xia Bangxing smiled faintly and said: "How can we, the servants, speculate on the prince's thoughts? Daozhang Chen will know after he goes with Xia. Don't worry, our prince has always been courteous to virtuous corporals. For Taoist Chen, who is so enlightened,
People will be respected very much."
"How dare you, how dare you, let me change my clothes and wash my face, and then go to see the prince." Chen Guanyu said.
Xia Bangxing wanted to say that there was no need to be so grand. When his eyes fell on Chen Guanyu's body and face, he swallowed back his words. Just now, Chen Guanyu didn't know what good food he was sharing with the Tatar officers and soldiers.
, making his body and face all shiny. This appearance in front of Bu Shitu was indeed a bit unsightly.
Chen Guanyu returned to the tent where he stayed, changed into a new Taoist robe, got some water, washed his face, combed his hair, and then came out, and together with Xia Bangxing, went to Bu Shitu's tent.
"Your Majesty, this is Taoist Chen Guanyu." Xia Bangxing took Chen Guanyu into the tent, saluted Bu Shitu, and then introduced him.
"I pay my respects to the prince, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!" Chen Guanyu took two hurried steps forward, knelt down on the ground without saying anything, and kowtowed seven or eight times to the Rabbit.
Bu Shitu frowned, waved his hands and said, "Get up, I'll give you a seat."
It's also strange that Xia Bangxing spoke too much before. In Bu Shutu's heart, he imagined Chen Guanyu as a worldly master with an immortal demeanor. At least when he saw him, he should have put on some airs and would not kneel down.
Even if you don't bow, you can still say something reasonable. Who would have thought that this Chen Guanyu's knees are extremely weak. How is this different from the ordinary Han people Bu Shitu has seen?
"Your name is Chen Guanyu?"
After the soldier next to him found a chair for Chen Guanyu to sit on, Bu Shitu asked coldly.
"Yes, Pindao is none other than Chen Guanyu." Chen Guanyu replied.
"I heard that you are of high moral character?" Bu Shitu asked again.
Chen Guanyu said: "Don't dare, don't dare. In front of the prince, how can a poor Taoist with such meager skills dare to claim to be a Taoist? They can only look at the earth's energy, survey the feng shui, judge the good and bad, and resolve some grudges."
"Where did you learn the Tao?" Bu Shitu directly filtered out Chen Guanyu's boastful words and asked him.
Chen Guanyu said: "Pindao learned the Tao at Yuhua Mountain in Jiangxi. Pindao's master is the twenty-sixth generation real person from Yuhua Mountain. He is a famous master in our Ming Dynasty. Pindao has followed his master since he was a child.
I learned some skills from my master."
"I heard that Su Hao, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Ningxia Army of the Ming Dynasty, is your senior brother. Where did you get the idea?" Bu Shitu asked again.
Chen Guanyu was well prepared for this question, and he replied: "Back to your lord, this Su Hao is the only son of Pindao mentor, and the twenty-seventh generation of our Yuhua Mountain Taoist sect. Although he is very young, he has profound Taoism.
Even a poor fellow should call him senior brother."
"You mean, Su Hao is a Taoist priest?" Bu Shitu felt a little surprised. He couldn't combine the two identities of Taoist priest and deputy chief soldier anyway.
Chen Guanyu said: "My senior brother was born in a Taoist sect, but he is not a Taoist priest. He just inherited the position of head of my Taoist sect in Yuhua Mountain, but the master's last words were that he wanted him to pursue an official career, so he did not become a Taoist, but became a Taoist priest.
After entering the public service, he held the high position of deputy commander-in-chief at the age of twenty."
Bu Shitu said: "Since you and Su Hao are brothers, he has now become the deputy general soldier, so he doesn't support you? In other words, you have been an officer of the Ming army for a long time and joined our Tatar army.
Are you here to be a spy?"
"No, no!" Chen Guanyu was so frightened that he fell off his chair. He knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand me. Pindao is really an outsider and has nothing to do with my senior brother. Pindao is here."
The Tatars came here just to spread morality and have no other meaning."
"Spreading morality?" Bu Shitu glared and said, "Last night, my camp was on fire one after another. I suspect that someone was working inside and outside to set fire to our army's food and grass. The people outside are naturally Su Hao's Ming army.
.The person here is probably you, a fake Taoist, right?"
"Pindao is unjust, please take a closer look, Your Majesty!" Chen Guanyu begged, "Your Majesty, you can go and ask. Last night, Pindao was always... gambling with others, and never left the tent at all. There was a fire.
, I don’t know anything about this.”
Since Bu Shitu wanted to summon Chen Guanyu, he naturally knew the situation beforehand. Chen Guanyu said that he had been gambling with people the night before, which Bu Shitu already knew. He just said what he said before
He deceived Chen Guanyu and gave Chen Guanyu a show of strength. Once Chen Guanyu was scared, it would be easy for him to say what he said next.
"Whether this fire incident is related to you, I will definitely investigate in detail. If I find out that you are a traitor, I will definitely cut you into pieces!" Bu Shitu threatened.
"It must have nothing to do with Pindao. Pindao can swear by the Infinite Heavenly Lord!" Chen Guanyu said jumping to his feet.
"What's the use of your oath? You haven't told the truth since you entered this big tent. How can this king trust you?" Bu Shitu said.
Chen Guanyu said: "Your Majesty, everything Pindao said is true!"
"Are you telling the truth?" Bu Shitu said, "You said that you have nothing to do with Su Hao and that you only entered the grassland to spread morality. Do you dare to say that this matter was not arranged by Su Hao?"
"This..." Chen Guanyu was speechless, "This matter... has something to do with my senior brother."
"So, why did Su Hao send you to the grassland?" Bu Shitu asked.
Chen Guanyu said: "Although my senior brother has become the deputy general soldier, he is from the Taoist sect after all, and he has good moral character. He said that the Ming Dynasty and the Tatars are brothers, and the Prince of Shunyi and I have signed an agreement long ago in the Ming Dynasty.
, and are not allowed to fight without permission. The former has a traitor who betrayed the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty naturally wanted to chase him to the grassland and capture him, but he was worried that this would misunderstand his Tatar friends and cause some unnecessary conflicts. So my senior brother
The main reason for sending me to the grassland is to resolve the misunderstanding between the two parties, so as to avoid the loss of life."
"Did he really say that?" Bu Shitu asked.
Chen Guanyu said: "It's absolutely true, that's what he said."
"Then can you bring me a letter to Su Hao, saying that my prince also has a good life and is unwilling to commit more killings. He is required to lead the Ming army back to the Ming Dynasty within three days. Otherwise, don't blame me.
Sabers and guns have no eyes." Bu Shitu said viciously. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature for better and faster novels!
