Before dawn the next day, dozens of Mangui's close relatives gathered in groups and rode straight to the west of Dajianshan.

However, Man Gui also made it very clear to Li Yuanqing last night.

In such a situation at this time, it is difficult for the surrounding small Mongolian tribes to obtain excellent breeding horses. In fact, there are not many qualified breeding horses.

To a large extent, these Mongol Tatars are even more hateful than the Later Jin Tatars.

At the beginning of last year, several small tribes in the Duoyan tribe, such as Gongtu, Chaohua, Zasai, etc., with thousands or even hundreds of people, begged for protection from the Ming Dynasty.

Although Sun Chengzong did not make the mistake of Yuan Yingtai and moved these Mongolian tribes directly to Ningyuan City, he settled them around Ningyuan City and set aside land for them to graze and recuperate.

But these Mongolian tribes are simply more hateful than dogs.

During the day they were grazing herds, but at night they transformed into hateful gangsters who burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil against the surrounding Han people, causing panic and resentment among the people.

It was Mangui who went to suppress this incident.

Although they were of the same clan, Mangui was not too merciful. He defeated these Mongolian tribes and put an end to the chaos. It was precisely because of this that he got the throne of deputy general.

Li Yuanqing was also a little helpless about this.

This is a world of the weak and the strong.

For these Mongolian tribes on the grassland, it is more real and realistic.

Whoever has a bigger fist can have more resources, such as war horses, cattle, sheep and various livestock, including women of course. On the contrary, he can only fend for himself.

Although Mangui is a Mongolian, his roots are not in Mongolia. His relationship can only be conveyed from the leaders of these small tribes to Taiji, who heads them.

Now, this kind of thing can only depend on luck.

However, something is better than nothing, and Li Yuanqing is still optimistic about this matter.

After some stallions join, at least they can accumulate some experience in raising horses in the longevity camp.

It would take at least seven or eight days to contact the Mongolian tribes. During these days, even if Li Yuanqing was impatient, he could only stay in the camp and wait peacefully.

Fortunately, with Mangui as a living treasure, it won't be too boring.

Every day, this guy would go into the mountains on time. After five or six days, the harvest was quite large, and he even hunted a young tiger.

Of course, this guy didn't forget his "professional job" here. A large number of sentinels were swarming around to see if they could catch one or two lone Houjin sentinels.

It's a pity that this guy's luck is really not good. In the past few days, the sentries have traveled a lot every day, but they haven't even caught a single bird feather.

On March 19, crackling hail fell in the sky, and the whole world became gloomy.

The weather was so bad that Mangui could no longer go hunting in the mountains, so out of boredom, he skinned a wild boar himself.

Don't tell me, this guy is really talented in this area, especially when he is covered in blood, and coupled with his sexy big beard, if he were shirtless, he would be in "Time Magazine" without any problem...

Li Yuanqing was on the side, playing with the little tiger cub.

Different from later generations, at this time the Northeast was still a bitter cold land with sparsely populated areas and abundant wildlife resources, including many tigers.

Although Li Yuanqing couldn't tell the type of tiger cub, he liked this little thing very much.

The young tiger was slightly injured when it was hunted by Mangui. Li Yuanqing not only bandaged the wound carefully but also took care of it personally.

It's about three or four months old, and it's as furry as a puppy. It hasn't grown its fangs yet, so it's very cute.

Li Yuanqing went to Mangui to get some juice from the wild boar he had slaughtered, and gave it to the little tiger cubs. The little thing seemed to have found a treasure, and ate it sweetly, while sticking out its little tongue and looking at Li Yuanqing in a flattering manner.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help being amused by it, and his mood suddenly felt much better.

"Yuanqing, let's prepare a pot at noon. Hey, let's see how good my brother is at this craft!"

Although there was thunder and lightning above the head and the weather was cold, Man Gui was sweating a lot. He simply opened half of his clothes on his chest, revealing a large area of ​​black chest hair. In addition, the blood all over his body made it really difficult.

It's majestic.

Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Brother Gui, move more smoothly. Xiaohu and I are waiting."

Man Gui couldn't help being speechless, but she laughed for a moment and said, "Come on, you'll be fine soon."

But as soon as Mangui put the chopped wild boar meat into the big pot, someone who went to the Mongolian tribe came back, and they also brought back the latest news.

There was a Taiji in the Duoyan tribe who did not want to reveal his identity. He was willing to make a deal with Li Yuanqing and provide twenty high-quality horses. However, the price he offered was also from Haikou, one thousand taels per horse.

These twenty stallions cost twenty thousand taels of silver.

"What a fool! Haven't you ever seen any money? Yuan Qing, we won't accept this deal. Without this bastard, we wouldn't be able to buy a stud horse?"

Man Gui was furious. This was no longer not denying him face, it was simply trying to swell his face.

How could he endure this?

Li Yuanqing was very calm. He thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Brother Gui, don't be angry yet. One thousand taels of silver, haha. I can give it to him, but it depends on whether his horse is worth the money."

"Well?"

Man Gui was stunned and somewhat understood what Li Yuanqing meant.

Now that he is here, Li Yuanqing must be determined to get some good stallions to take back.

After thinking for a moment, Man Gui said: "Yuan Qing, this... ugh. These stupid Mongolian bastards are asking for a lot of money. In the past, even a good breed horse would never cost more than 500."

two."

Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Brother Gui, it doesn't matter. At this time, after all, we are the ones asking for help! These brothers, I have to trouble you to make another trip for this matter. As long as it is done, I, Li Yuanqing, will express my gratitude!"

"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, I will definitely do my best if I am in a lowly position." Several of Mangui's confidants were overjoyed, kowtowed to Li Yuanqing and left.

"Wait a minute."

But Man Gui stopped them, glanced at their eyes one by one and said: "You guys, please keep your eyes open for me. If you dare to act like a fool, report back truthfully as soon as possible."

"yes!"

Several soldiers left in a hurry despite the broken hail.

Man Gui suddenly smiled coldly and said: "Yuan Qing, if you dare to act like a fool, we will run directly over and catch them all!"

Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Brother Gui, this plan is just a bad idea. We should not act rashly unless it is absolutely necessary."

Not long after, the strong aroma of meat began to waft out of the cauldron, and the little tiger happily stuck out his tongue and looked at the cauldron eagerly.

In the past few days, the little thing seems to like eating cooked food, and he rubs against Li Yuanqing's feet affectionately.

It has a huge appetite and may eat more than ten kilograms of meat in a day.

Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Don't be anxious, little one. I'll get you a good piece later."

As he said that, Li Yuanqing was about to take his chopsticks to pick up a piece of good meat. At this time, Mangui's soldiers came to report hurriedly, "Two generals, it's not good. Tatars were found at the bottom of the hillside to the north. Look at their appearance.

, there are at least three more Niulu, no less than a thousand people!"

"What?"

Li Yuanqing and Man Gui looked at each other and were both shocked.

"Let's go and have a look."

Not even bothering to eat the meat, Li Yuanqing winked at Man Gui and hurried out of the camp.

Man Gui also reacted and hurriedly followed behind Li Yuanqing.

…………

At this time, under the cover of swaying snow and hail, about a mile ahead, there were more than a hundred Tatar knights standing on a small slope, faintly sizing up the camp.

Not far behind them was a dense forest of battle formation flags.

Li Yuanqing's eyesight was very good, and he could see their flags clearly in a moment. There were two battle flags with yellow flags and a battle flag with a yellow flag.

"Come on, mother~~! Two Niu Lu with yellow flags and one with yellow flags. Yuan Qing, we are in big trouble this time."

Man Gui also reacted and quickly looked at Li Yuanqing beside him.

At this time, Li Yuanqing calmed down and couldn't help but laugh: "Brother Gui, what is this called? You can't find anything even if you break through iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it. Your achievements have been accomplished!"

Mangui naturally understood what Li Yuanqing meant, but couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Yuanqing, I'm afraid the opponent has no less than a thousand people, and they are the elite of the two yellow flags. It's hard to say who is the prey!"

He glanced around and said to Li Yuanqing in a low voice: "Yuanqing, we are still more than a mile apart at this time. If we run now, they may not be able to catch up. As long as we run a few dozen miles in the direction of Jinzhou, we will definitely encounter us."

people."

Li Yuanqing slowly shook his head, "Brother, if we run away now, our equipment and good meat will be at the expense of these dog Tatars."

Man Gui was stunned for a moment, and somewhat understood what Li Yuanqing meant, and hurriedly said: "Yuan Qing, you, do you want to fight?"

Li Yuanqing suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Gui, are you willing to fight side by side with me?"

Although Man Gui felt a little embarrassed, how could he lose face at this time? He couldn't help laughing and said: "Yuan Qing, don't you dare to have a ball? If your head falls off, it won't be as big as a bowl! I'll have a scar!"

We’re afraid that these dog Tartars are stupid! Why don’t we go and attack them first while they have not yet established a stable footing?”

Li Yuanqing shook his head hastily, "Brother Gui, this is inappropriate. In my opinion, these dog Tatars should just pass by here accidentally. They haven't found out our details yet. If they attack blindly, it's better to win. Just in case.

If it doesn’t go well, then we will be in danger.”

Man Gui also calmed down, and now he somewhat understood why Li Yuanqing was able to win consecutive battles in southern Liaoning and eastern Liaoning, and wiped out the main force of the Jin Tatars.

At this moment, Li Yuanqing's seemingly simple calmness was already better than his.

"Yuanqing, what should we do? Defend the base?" Mangui asked hurriedly.

Li Yuanqing glanced around and suddenly smiled coldly, "Defend the base? We don't seem to have much danger to defend. Brother Gui, I still have to leave this matter to you!"

Li Yuanqing said and quickly whispered a few words into Man Gui's ear.

Man Gui's pupils suddenly dilated, and he understood Li Yuanqing's meaning in a moment. He smiled coldly and said: "Yuan Qing, don't worry. The scolding formation is my specialty!"

Not long after, at the Ming army camp on the hillside, Man Gui led two hundred personal guards, like the wind, rushed to the open space between the two armies, and cursed at the Hou Jin army opposite, almost threatening to kill the old slave.

Eighteen generations of ancestors have read it over and over...
