Chapter 28 Before the Alliance

Chapter 28                                                                                                                             �

The 32nd year of Jiajing, at the end of the first lunar month.

It took only half a year to start from the autumn of the 31st year of Jiajing and after the Battle of Shuozhou.

The strategic forms of the Ming Dynasty and the Tartars have undergone great changes.

I used to fight, kill and kill horses, but now I am heading from Yulin City from all directions, but not for war or alliance. The unpredictable changes in the world are really unpredictable.

Zhou Mengchen finalized the 32nd year of Jiajing and the end of the first lunar month. There was also a reason.

Because last year's negotiations talked about winter. It seemed like only a few big items, but after decomposing them carefully, you will know that there are countless details to discuss. In addition, the communication time with Qingcheng. It is no longer too late to discuss it in three months.

Some negotiations, after talking about the past year, are also some.

When it was finally confirmed, it was already late winter.

It is not easy to use troops in winter.

Zhou Mengchen naturally moved to the beginning of spring. However, there was spring plowing in March. So he advanced the time.

After all, although the alliance is important, in Zhou Mengchen's view, no matter how important it is, it cannot delay the spring plowing. This is the most important thing, which concerns the belly of the entire Datong military and civilians. Especially when the capital cuts off most of the money from Datong, the spring plowing every year is even more important.

Zhou Mengchen's alliance will be completed in February. Before March, each army returned to the army's garrison and asked the soldiers to go home to farm in batches.

Zhou Mengchen arrived in Yulin City for the second time.

Yulin City is still under the control of the Jingying Camp. Cao Shizhong is the garrison of the Jingying Camp. He led 5,000 troops to guard this place.

Zhou Mengchen led more than 60,000 infantry and cavalry. Yulin City could not hold it at all. So they stationed outside the city. Without waiting for a few days, they heard that the horns were everywhere. The Tatar army came from the northwest, like sandstorms rolling in the distance. When they approached, they discovered these sandstorms. They were the gangs of cavalry rolling in the sky.

If there are more than ten thousand people, there will be no boundaries or edges.

Tens of thousands of cavalry formations are even more scattered and occupy a larger area. When they come in such a rolling manner, it really makes them feel a bit shaking.

Zhou Mengchen has long been no longer ahmeng. Over the past few years, he has participated in many major and large wars, and has long been exempted from military service against the Tartars. He was about to call Ma Fang and ask Ma Fang to give them some color. He just thought that Ma Fang was already in the capital.

I couldn't help feeling a little sad.

I don't want to have a meaningless battle with the Tartars.

After all, this is not a war. If it is a war, your spirit must not be lost and your morale must not be declining. The first battle with the enemy must be won. Among the cavalry, Ma Fang is the one who reassures him the most. This matter is naturally left to Ma Fang. But now, it is just an alliance.

Only those who suffer losses will want to find face off the court.

Zhou Mengchen said: "Cao Shizhong."

Cao Shizhong immediately left the list and said, "The last one will be there."

Zhou Mengchen said, "Is it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar? They are local guards. Do you dare to go to the Tartar camp to welcome the natural king of our dynasty. You can do your best to be a landlord. You can make an appointment with the natural king."

Cao Shizhong said: "The last one will obey the order."

Soon Cao Shizhong came to the Tartar army alone. When he saw Xin Ai, he just bowed and said, "The lower-ranking general of the Jingying camp, and the Yulin garrison met His Highness the King of Guihua."

Xin Ai said, "What's your intention?"

Cao Shizhong said: "After the order of the governor, the lower officials asked Guihua Wang An, and agreed with Guihua Wang to the time of the enthronement ceremony."

Xin Ai said, "I have no objection. How many days will you decide?"

Cao Shizhong said: "February 1st."

Xin Ai said, "It's the first day of the second month. Is Zhou Mengchen here?"

Cao Shizhong said: "The Governor is already in the city."

Xin Ai said, "I have seen the etiquette of enthronement. There is nothing to say. I want to meet Zhou Mengchen before this. I don't know if I can arrange it?"

This is Xin Ai's long-standing wish. For many years, he only asked Zhou Mengchen, the enemy who killed his father, but did not see him. On the battlefield, there were few times when two kings met. It can be said that Xin Ai wanted to meet Zhou Mengchen, and he might not have any hope in his life.

Now the two sides are so close to each other.

Xin Ai suddenly wanted to meet Zhou Mengchen, meet this enemy who killed his father, and meet the person who defeated him.

Look at how many arms, legs, and eyes he has.

Cao Shizhong was stunned and said, "Your Highness Guihua King, you can only report this matter to the Governor. As for what the Governor wishes, it is not something that the Governor can predict."

Xin Ai also understood and said, "Then you can report it quickly."

Cao Shizhong bowed and came back immediately. He informed Zhou Mengchen of this matter.

After hearing this, Zhou Mengchen raised his eyebrows and said, "Xin Ai wants to see me?"

Cao Shizhong said: "That's right."

"Sir, beware of fraud." Xu Wei said: "Now, the adults are in the army of more than 100,000 Datong. You should not take risks easily. Moreover, the adults cannon Altan to kill him, which is also Xin Ai's enemy who killed his father. Xin Ai has the situation today, and it is because of you, you must be careful."

Zhou Mengchen shook his head slightly and said, "Brother Xu's words make sense. But I have to go. Now, the Ming Dynasty represents my every move. If I dare not go to the appointment, everyone in the world will say that the Ming Dynasty has no courage. Therefore, if Xin Ai dares to invite me, I will dare to go to the appointment. Of course, courage is not the only one who is brave. Brother Xu, I promise to meet King Guiyi. But how to meet? I will ask Brother Xu to have a good talk with the people from the Tartars."

After hearing this, Xu Wei immediately said, "Students understand."

After a while, Xu Wei came back and said, "The agreement has been made. Just before the two armies. Within two hundred steps, no one is allowed, only the adults and Xin Ai. And considering that Xin Ai reaches out, the adults can bring a guard."

Zhou Mengchen said, "Don't you bring Xin Ai?"

Xu Wei paused slightly. Zhou Mengchen knew what Xu Wei meant and said, "To be fair, I will bring someone to you, so that Xin Ai will also bring someone. The court will not take advantage of him." When he said this, Zhou Mengchen slightly said, "I also want to meet Xin Ai well."

This is also the truth.

Only by knowing oneself and one’s enemy can one win every battle.

Although Zhou Mengchen has unknown many qualifications about Xin Ai, these materials are second-hand. The portraits of this era are also very poor. Although Zhou Mengchen feels that he knows Xin Ai very well, he still has never seen Xin Ai.

Nothing else. Just to identify Xin Ai's head in the future, you will have less worries. Zhou Mengchen wants to meet Xin Ai, so it is best to have a conversation and understand clearly what kind of person Xin Ai is.

Be prepared for the future.

After both sides agreed, they made arrangements soon.

In the northwest of Yulin City, clear a piece of land. The Taurus cavalry were hundreds of steps away from the Ming cavalry, as if it was preheating before the war. Many war horses even became excited in this atmosphere. They couldn't help but use their hooves to dig the ground, and seemed to be ready to charge at any time.

In such an atmosphere, the Ming army placed a table between the two armies and placed two chairs to drink and drink.

Zhou Mengchen took Qi Jiguang to ride out of the military formation.

At this moment, Zhou Mengchen was wearing a big red official robe and was quite powerful in the sun. His clothes were very wide these days, and no one could see that Zhou Mengchen had three layers of chain mail in his clothes. However, Qi Jiguang was fully armed. He was wearing armor, reflecting the sunshine. He had a long sword on his waist, a long bow on his back, and several hand guns on his waist. He was always ready to kill seven in seven out at any time.

At this time, Qi Jiguang was more nervous than Zhou Mengchen himself.

When Qi Jiguang first became a disciple, although he was a little respectful to Zhou Mengchen, he might not necessarily want to learn much knowledge from Zhou Mengchen. He wanted to build relationships in the name of master and apprentice. After all, Qi Jiguang knew very well that as a general, it was impossible to develop without the support of civil servants behind him.

Now so many years have passed. Qi Jiguang has long admired Zhou Mengchen's five-body spirit. Zhou Mengchen's knowledge deeply impressed him. In his opinion, his achievements in military tactics have been successful under the guidance of Zhou Mengchen.

Especially when he was the governor of Datong, Zhou Mengchen did last year. Qi Jiguang understood the most. This made Qi Jiguang feel that the world must be self-free, but the teacher must be free. Today, he fought hard to die, and would not have any accidents.
