The 20,000 elite cavalry were divided into three groups and began to evacuate. After Pang Heihu's own 3,000 men and horses were cut off, the Yuan soldiers had retreated. However, many years of military service had made Pang Heihu a habit. Although he was at ease, his marching formation was still in order. .
Before the team left, they also captured two prisoners. These two prisoners were two of the five generals who besieged Yang Xiaohu in the second group. These two guys were lucky. They were knocked unconscious by Yang Xiaohu when they were kicked off their horses. , the muscles and bones were not injured, and all sentinels were not as quick as catching prisoners. As long as the method is right, the prisoners will know everything.
The team crossed the Guanchuan River safely and marched all the way to the Ming army's stronghold. Before reaching the camp, dozens of elite soldiers were waiting to greet them.
Pang Heihu was riding on the horse with his head lowered, feeling a little beat in his heart. Da Kui looked sideways at Pang Heihu's expression and couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived in front of the dozens of soldiers, a corps commander stepped forward and said loudly: "General Feng "He ordered Pang Heihu, Zhang Dakui and Yang Xiaohu to be escorted to the central army to wait for their surrender." After saying this, he rushed forward with his soldiers without any explanation. Regardless of whether he was a general or not, he pulled Pang Heihu and Yang Xiaohu off their horses and tied them up. Already.
Dakui was the captain of the regiment. He did not often move around in the army, so few people recognized him. The captain waited until Pang Heihu and Yang Xiaohu were tied up, and then he shouted again and asked: "Who is Zhang Dakui?"
Dakui looked around on his horse, as if the matter had nothing to do with him. There were two prisoners behind him, but they were tied up. Only Dakui was dressed as a general, but without any ropes. When the captain saw Dakui, he was not sure. No, he had no choice but to ask again: "Who is Zhang Dakui?" Still no one responded. The corps commander couldn't help but became angry and turned around and ordered: "Bring Pang Heihu and Yang Xiaohu to the Chinese army first." The soldier took the order and pulled Pang Heihu and Yang Xiaohu. Leave.
The commander looked at the black crowd of 20,000 cavalry and shouted again: "Who is Zhang Dakui? You might as well stand up for yourself. I'm just following orders. Don't make things difficult for me."
Dakui remained silent. The corps commander was really at his wits end and had to say: "The general has an order to capture Pang Heihu, Zhang Dakui and Yang Xiaohu, and the rest of the soldiers will return to their camps."
The team marched again, and Dakui followed the group into the camp on horseback. As soon as he entered the camp, more than ten soldiers rushed up. Without saying a word, they pulled Dakui off his horse and tied him up with five flowers, and then together with two other Yuan generals. They were taken to a camp together.
"Everyone, go in," a soldier shouted angrily, pushing Dakui and the other three into the camp one by one.
Da Kui knew in his heart that if he followed the corps commander to the Chinese Army, he would be beaten even if he was not beheaded. Rather than being beaten, he would be better off pretending to be a prisoner and hiding for a while.
After entering the camp, Dakui found a dry place and fell asleep. Because he was really tired, he was snoring loudly within a short time of falling down.
Inside the Chinese army's tent, Pang Heihu and Yang Xiaohu stood in the tent, but both looked unconvinced. Sitting in the main hall was Tang He, and sitting on his left hand was the Marquis of Ji'an Lu Zhongheng.
"Pang Heihu, do you know your guilt?" Tang He asked coldly, without any emotion in his words.
Pang Heihu said in a low voice: "You knew that the Yuan soldiers had retreated, but you didn't send troops to rescue brother Dakui. Now that I have rescued him, it's up to you to kill or chop Brother Tang." After saying that, he turned his head to the side, He actually ignored Tang He.
Tang He looked at Lu Zhongheng, the Marquis of Ji'an next to him, and then asked Yang Xiaohu: "Have you thought about the consequences if you pretended to pass military orders and broke out of the camp privately?"
Yang Xiaohu asked angrily: "Your father is surrounded by Yuan soldiers, why don't you go and save him?"
Tang He was suddenly snatched away by Yang Xiaohu and was speechless for a moment. He looked at Ji'an Marquis Lu Zhongheng again, but Lu Zhongheng was smiling. Tang He chuckled and asked, "I wonder what General Lu has to say?"
Lu Zhongheng, the Marquis of Ji'an, said with a smile: "Zhang Dakui went to the enemy camp alone and retreated 100,000 yuan of soldiers. He just solved our army's embarrassing situation and made a great contribution."
"Yes, yes, what General Lu said makes sense," Tang He praised repeatedly, and then turned to ask Pang Heihu: "Brother Dakui came back with you, why didn't you see anyone?"
Pang Heihu snorted and ignored Tang He's question. Tang He sighed, knowing that he was a pioneer officer with an upright temper, but he was not as knowledgeable as him. He asked Yang Xiaohu again, and Yang Xiaohu said: "My foster father spent the night Fighting, he must be sleeping deeply at this moment, even if he is decapitated, he will wait until he is full of sleep." The answer was wrong, and Tang He once again hit a soft nail.
Tang He smiled and asked Lu Zhongheng again: "General Lu, how do you think we should decide on this matter today?"
Lu Zhongheng understood Tang He's intention. According to theory, Pang Heihu and Yang Xiaohu disobeyed the military order and went out of the camp privately, which was a serious crime of being beheaded in half. Pang Heihu even falsely conveyed the general order and took away 20,000 troops. On the basis of the crime, even a hundred heads would have been beheaded. However, if the right army wanted to take away 20,000 soldiers and horses, Tang He would not know it, and would he stop it if he knew it? To put it bluntly, it was just a show.
Tang He asked Lu Zhongheng several times what he meant, and it became clear that Lu Zhongheng was an outsider after all, and it would not look good if his own affairs were apparently waterproof.
"It stands to reason that Zhang Dakui's merits outweigh his faults. If his merits and faults are balanced, he can convince everyone,"
Lu Zhongheng looked around and talked about him. Tang He couldn't help feeling angry, but he still asked nicely: "What should we do with Pang Heihu and Yang Xiaohu?"
Lu Zhongheng, the Marquis of Ji'an, laughed loudly and said: "General Tang, has he forgotten that you once sent Pang Heihu and Yang Xiaohu to lead troops across the river to investigate the military situation..."
When Tang He heard this, he slapped his forehead and said, "Oh my, look at me, I'm so busy with military affairs every day that I'm a little confused." After saying that, he stood up and walked over to personally untie Pang Heihu and Yang Xiaohu.
Pang Heihu was confused, but Yang Xiaohu knew it well.
Tang He was unable to come to Taiwan because of Pang Heihu and Yang Xiaohu's disobedience to military orders. They were waiting for a word from Lu Zhongheng, the Marquis of Ji'an. Isn't it wonderful that everyone is happy now?
Yang Xiaohu also admired Tang He's skills in his heart. Tang He was really showing off his talents by not singing, and the farce ended.
Dakui slept soundly and soundly. When he woke up on the second morning, he suddenly found that the rope on his body was missing, and the other two prisoners were also missing. Dakui was confused, so he stood up and left the tent, only to see a person standing outside the tent. , but it was Tang He. Tang He had his back to the tent, his cloak fluttering slightly in the morning breeze.
"Brother Tang," Dakui called softly, feeling sad in his heart. He was lucky to be able to come back alive to see Tang He.
Tang He slowly turned around and said with a smile on his face: "Come with me if you are hungry," and then walked directly towards the Chinese army. Da Kui didn't know why, so he just followed behind him.
Following Tang He to the Chinese army's tent, Dakui was startled when he saw a banquet table set up in the tent. More than ten generals on both sides of the tent stood waiting, including the Marquis of Ji'an Lu Zhongheng.
Tang He entered the big tent, first turned to face Dakui and said: "Captain Zhang has worked hard and accomplished a lot. Today he held a celebration banquet to calm the storm for brother Dakui." After that, he waved his hand and said: "Brother Dakui, please take a seat." He even changed his title. Already.
"Ah," Dakui was dumbfounded and hurriedly waved his hands and said: "It's impossible, it's absolutely impossible."
Tang He couldn't help but pulled Dakui to the main seat in the main hall, forced Dakui to sit on the chair, and then took a few steps back to stand in line with the other generals.
What happened next was beyond Dakui's expectation.
"One hundred thousand yuan of troops have retreated, which saved the Ming army soldiers from a catastrophe, and bought the marshal time to conquer Qingyang. Zhang Xiaowei has done the most great service. Please accept our tribute." Tang He then led ten soldiers from the army. The rest of the generals knelt down and bowed before Da Kui, and clasped their fists together, actually saluting Da Kui.
"Brother Tang, I'm going to kill my younger brother," Dakui stood up quickly and stepped forward to help him. Tang He then led his generals to stand up.
"Brother Tang, please take a seat." Da Kui stretched out his hand to invite you, but Tang He refused: "Today I am just celebrating brother Da Kui. How can Tang be so arrogant? Brother, please don't be too modest. Just sit down when I tell you."
Dakui continued to push, but Pang Heihu became a little impatient, and together with Tang He pushed Dakui back to the top seat. Then the generals took their seats at Tang He's call.
Next, Tang He and Lu Zhongheng took the lead in toasting to Da Kui in turn. This wine was offered to Da Kui by everyone. Naturally, Da Kui couldn't refuse. He stood up to return the gift and drank it all in one gulp.
"It's not wine," Dakui was confused, but he opened his mouth to reveal the strangeness.
"Hahahahahaha," Lu Zhongheng looked up to the sky and laughed, and after a while he said: "Drinking is prohibited in the Right Army. Even though I am celebrating your victory, you must not break the rules." He pointed to the wine glass and said, "This is a gift from a friend of mine. My Pu'er tea, although not fine wine, is still very precious."
Pu'er tea is originally produced in Yunnan. Tea merchants in the past dynasties have transported Pu'er tea to various parts of the Central Plains and Jiangnan. The road they passed is called the "Ancient Tea Horse Road". The "Ancient Tea Horse Road" is the same as the "Silk Road", both are travels. The main thoroughfare of trade, drinking Pu'er tea from the 'Ancient Tea Horse Road', and garrisoning troops on the 'Silk Road', have a different flavor.
Dakui didn't expect that Tang He actually served three bowls of tea in a row, but Dakui responded one by one without knowing what was going on. After drinking the tea, he was still confused.
"Brother Dakui, this time you took risks alone and made great achievements. I have sent someone to recommend you to the marshal. With your ability, I dare not say that you will be reinstated. How can you become a general?" Tang He said and finished his drink. Mouth tea.
Hearing this, Dakui smiled and said: "Brother is lucky enough to survive, how dare you ask for a high position? If Brother Tang can really take care of my younger brother, please let me be discharged and return to my field." Dakui is determined to stay away from officialdom. He has experienced too much right and wrong. Master Lingzhi once warned Da Kui, and Da Kui also said: "Be an official for the people," but at present, the task is arduous and the road is long. It's not that Da Kui doesn't want to, but it is true that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Instead of doing this, it is better to hide as soon as possible. After retirement, fame, fortune, and fortune are all in vain. Being able to have a wife and children to accompany you until you grow old in the countryside is your true blessing.
Lu Zhongheng on the side smiled and said: "Lu had heard about the Da Kui brothers in the early years. In previous years, we met in court but were not familiar with each other. This time, I heard with my own ears that the brothers were coming and going among hundreds of thousands of troops. Lu admired him Now that Brother Da Kui is in his prime, wouldn't it be a pity not to take this opportunity to serve the country?" Lu Zhongheng said, holding up the tea bowl and saying: "Here, Lu also respects brother three bowls,"
