Chapter 1311: Dismounting
Two groups of men met at the center of the battlefield.
The people on the carriage did not see any movement, and even the windows and doors were not opened. Wu Ling, who was riding on the horse, sat upright like an ice sculpture, motionless, but his eyes were more white and less black at the carriage. However, Ben Kuan, the governor of Taoyuan County, twisted his body uneasy. After all, he was a civil servant and felt that even if the two countries were fighting, the people in the carriage opposite were also envoys of Qi and should receive corresponding courtesy. What's more, the person who came was Prince Cao Yun, who was far superior to them in terms of identity. But Wu Ling was the highest commander of the entire Wuling War Zone. In terms of name, he was also controlled by Wu Ling. If Wu Ling did not move, he would naturally not be able to move.
Inside the carriage, a graceful and luxurious woman looked at Wu Ling riding arrogantly on the horse and said dissatisfiedly: "It's so rude!"
Cao Yun smiled, looked at the man who was as thin as a stubborn stone, and said, "If this guy can come here, it has given me a lot of face. You must know that I am not a legitimate envoy, no rituals, no letter of state, but just went to the Ming Kingdom in the name of a private person. This guy in front of me is the most famous black and hard in the Ming Dynasty, and is known as the Living King of Hell. When he was an enemy of the Ming Emperor, he led thousands of people to hide in the mountains, and even had human flesh."
The woman was a little disgusted and her face turned a little pale. "Is this guy still a human being? This Ming Emperor even valued such a person, which shows that he is not a good thing."
Cao Yun smiled and said, "You have never encountered such a desperate situation. When you really reach that stage, why can't you do it? The person next to him is Ben Kuan, the governor of Taoyuan County. What do you think he has characteristics?"
The woman shook her head and said, "I can't see the majesty that an official should have, but I'm just like an ordinary farmer. I can't think of how such a person can govern a county?"
"It is such a person who has now managed the deserted Taoyuan County with great success. Do you know? In order to increase the population of Taoyuan County, the governor of Ben not only sold humans from Qin, but also personally went to Hulao to recruit people to Taoyuan County. This person, when he entered the county magistrate's office, became a territorial official in the control area, and after he got off the field, he became an authentic farmer. With the merchants, he was a shrewd and old businessman. Duandi was a role!" Cao Yun sighed. "There are many officials like this in the Ming Dynasty. The most famous one is Ma Xiangnan Magong from Changyang County. If you meet him on the side of the road, you will definitely not recognize him."
"Brothers Ma Xiangdong are both elegant and literary. Now one is the chief minister of Chu and the other is the chief official of the Ming Dynasty. Even if I haven't met for many years, how could I not recognize him after meeting him?" The woman smiled and said, "You beat them back then."
Cao Yunha smiled: "Who made Ma Xiangdong want to attack you? Who wouldn't beat him? Ma Xiangnan, ha, if you have the chance, you should say this when you see him."
The woman smiled but didn't say anything, as if she was very disbelief, "Prince, what should we do if that person is so rude? Just stalemate?"
"Of course not. If he doesn't speak first, then I will only speak. Who told us to beg for help now?" Cao Yun smiled, stood up, pushed open the car door, walked out, stood on the shaft, and looked at Wu Ling opposite him.
The carriage he was riding in was extremely tall, just like a small house, and the carriage was naturally extremely tall. Cao Yun was already tall, but he was much taller than Wu Ling who was riding on the horse. He looked down at Wu Ling with a natural expression and bowed: "Cao Yun, Daqi, I hope the general will welcome you."
Wu Ling felt a little uncomfortable. He originally wanted to give Cao Yun a warning, but the other party's attitude of not bringing the breath of human fireworks made him feel full of anger but had nowhere to vent. The other party was still sincere and made people unable to get angry.
To be honest, for a person like Cao Yun, any general who commands a military commander will admire him. If this person is his own enemy, the mood will be even more complicated. Wu Ling has such a mentality. You must know that the person he respects the most was highly respected by Cao Yun back then.
Facing Cao Yun's opening, Wu Ling finally bowed his hand, trying to squeeze out a smile on his face, but he failed. "Wu Ling is ordered to welcome the prince into the country, please."
He said this dryly and said nothing more.
Ben Kuan smiled and bowed to Cao Yun: "Ben Kuan, the governor of Taoyuan County of the Ming Dynasty, has seen His Highness the Prince. The prince has worked hard all the way. Thank you for your hard work."
"No, no, no, I think back then, I had never done it for a thousand miles a day. Now, I am enjoying the world in a comfortable carriage. The governor of Ben County has long been honored." Cao Yun returned the favor.
"It's not worth mentioning. Your Highness, Prince, it's getting late, so let's get off as soon as possible." Ben Kuan glanced at Wu Ling, whose face was always dark, and said with a smile.
"Of course, the Ming Dynasty has changed a lot in recent years. I have heard of it but never saw it. Now it is a great opportunity. I have long wanted to see it." Cao Yun said with a smile.
"Your Highness the Prince will definitely see enough. You can see whatever you want. Keep it unsatisfied." Wu Ling said coldly. "The Prince is a distinguished guest. Your Majesty heard that you are coming to the Ming Dynasty for a walk, but he was very happy!"
Cao Yun laughed, reached out to call a cavalry, and whispered a few words. The man immediately jumped off the horse and handed Ma Jiang respectfully to Cao Yun. Cao Yun turned over the horse, knocked his belly lightly at the horse's belly with his toes, and walked to Wuling: "I am walking with you with the two, can you?"
"I can't ask for it!" Wu Ling said lightly, "The prince can also see the majesty of my Ming soldiers."
Cao Yun smiled but said nothing about Wu Ling's provocation.
The three of them walked together, and Cao Yun naturally walked in the middle, Wu Ling and Ben Kuan walked together one on the left and one on the right. Behind the three of them, several carriages also slowly followed, and the cavalry on both sides gathered together but were clearly separated.
Xian Bisong stared at Prince Cao Yun gradually faded away with Mingren, with a complicated expression. "General, there will be no danger in the general, right?" a general asked softly.
Fresh pine slowly shook her head.
"General, if I were a wise man, I would take this opportunity to detain the Grandmaster. Aren't people like Grandmaster their most dangerous enemy? Finally, a tiger can fall into the trap and let the tiger return to the mountain?"
"The battle between the two countries is based on the general trend, and people are just one link. No matter how heroes are, they cannot reverse the general trend. Moreover, our general is already a goshawk with a broken wing and a tiger that has been caught. There is no special surprise, I am afraid I will never go back to the past." Xian Bisong said sadly. From Cao Yun's resolute refusal to enter Changning County to celebrate with the soldiers, he clearly realized this.
"What is a special accident?" someone asked.
Xian Bisong looked back at him and said, "I believe you wouldn't want to have such a day. If the Grand Marshal had a day to come out again, it would be the time when our Grand Marshal was about to fall."
Everyone was silent. Everyone hoped that the general would come out to take power again, but no one thought that the Grand Qi would really have such a day.
"The Marshal is old, and it's time for him to enjoy his life. I can't always expect him to shelter us from the wind and rain!" Someone smiled dryly.
"Go back!" Xian Bisong turned the horse, raised his whip, and left first. Behind him, thousands of Qi cavalry rolled up smoke and dust and ran towards Changning County.
Li Xiaoya looked at the cavalry that was leaving, and the eagerness in her heart could not be suppressed. The war horse under her crotch seemed to feel the master's high fighting spirit. Her four hooves kept digging the ground and sniffing loudly. Her big eyes looked ahead with red eyes, and her long mane seemed to stand up one by one.
It has been a long time since he personally fought a big battle. Li Xiaoya missed the past years very much, but he is now a general who is in charge of 5,000 cavalry. The years of passion and rushing blood are now a little far away from him. Every day he sees the military achievements reported by the soldiers in his military tent, which is simply greedy. He has done all these things at the beginning!
Seeing the Qi cavalry gradually fading away, and then looking at the approaching general and his group, Li Xiaoya couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, unable to move, and it was still okay to give her opponent a warning.
People of Wu Ling still have considerable admiration or awe of Cao Yun, but Li Xiaoya's young generals don't care at all. In his eyes, the number one Emperor of the Ming Dynasty in this world is the second.
He called several members of the deviant generals over and whispered a few instructions. The deviant generals all walked away with a wicked smile.
Cao Yun wanted to ride a horse with Wu Ling, of course he also wanted to see how the Ming army is today. He had never fought with the Ming army face to face, but Guo Xiancheng and Xian Bisong, whom he trained, suffered losses at the hands of the Ming army. This made him always maintain a very curious attitude towards the Ming army. Although he has been away from the front line in recent years, he has never relaxed his research on the Ming army. He is familiar with the old-fashioned battle camps of the Ming army, but today, he sees some relatively unfamiliar numbers.
