"Your Highness, beware of fraud!"
After the Ming envoy came to pass the message and left, there was a commotion in Zhang Dingguo's camp.Faced with the general's sudden overtures, they couldn't help but become suspicious.
Many generals believed that this must be a trick by the Ming army, and they must not be trusted.
Zhang Dingguo couldn't help but hesitate a bit. This young man who was forced to join the peasant army with a dog-beating stick to survive at the age of ten because his family starved to death in the famine, was only 26 at this time.
Younger than that saint of Ming Dynasty.
Zhang Dingguo, known as Little Yuchi, is not lacking in bravery and fierceness, and he doesn't even lack in fighting experience. After all, he joined the army at the age of ten and has been fighting for 16 years now. Apart from bravery, he also has agility and a bit of luck to survive until now.
Zhang Dapeng's kindness is indeed doubtful.
But for Zhang Dingguo at this time, this has become an irresistible temptation.
After thinking over and over again, Zhang Dingguo inquired about Zhang Dapeng, and the information he finally collected was very limited. He only knew that this person was unknown before, but he was born as a servant next to Emperor Zhu. It is said that he was only a part-time worker, only in his twenties years old, even younger than Zhang Dingguo in terms of age.
"This person was a battalion officer when he first entered Sichuan?"
"Well, it is said that as soon as he arrived in Chongqing, he was sent to Hanzhong to deliver an edict to He Zhen. As a result, he encountered yellow thieves on the way, and he brought three people with him. In the end, they pulled up a team of thousands of people, and then they met Liu Jinzhong from the Xiaoqi Battalion at Chaotianguan, and they became sworn brothers..."
There is not much news, and there are even some contradictory and even bizarre places.
Zhang Dingguo doesn't know which one is real and which one is fake, but judging from these news, this Zhang Dapeng is indeed very legendary. Such a person actually became the admiral of the Daming imperial camp in Shaanxi and Gansu, a hero like Liu Jinzhong, a famous man like Tang Zhenbang Chieftain, as well as He Hongqi, who used to be a warrior in the camp, have become his subordinates.
What's even more bizarre is that such an admiral actually offered to give way to them, and even said that he would give them money, food, equipment and support.
And he said that the root of all this is that as long as it is fighting the Tartars, he Zhang Dapeng and the Shaanxi-Ganxi camp will help out.
Sounds like no problem.
But in fact, even the officers and soldiers of the Ming court in the past still paid attention to the distinction between the local soldiers and the troops who aided and suppressed the invaders. Soldiers, wolf soldiers, or inland guard soldiers, etc.
Anyway, sect views are everywhere.
In those years of war with Ming Dynasty, Zhang Dingguo also saw many officers and soldiers deliberately ignore the death of friendly troops and so on.
It's hard to believe that Admiral Zhang Dapeng can have such pride.
But it is really hard to refuse.
If you really want to attack hard, this Yulei Pass is too difficult to fight.
The Western Army was blocked outside Yangping Pass, and hundreds of thousands of people crowded in Baoning. Now it is in jeopardy. If no breakthrough is found, Daxi will be completely collapsed.
"Write a letter to Admiral Zhang for me, inviting him to meet at the bridge."
This was the last test. If Zhang Dapeng dared to go to the meeting alone, then there was nothing to doubt. If he didn't dare, then the so-called saying that he would help the field as long as he beat the Tartars must be a lie.
In order to show sincerity.
When the letter is sent.
Zhang Dingguo made some arrangements for the camp, and then only brought ten riders to the bridge to wait for Zhang Dapeng to come to meet him.
The messenger rode across the bridge with a white flag and came to Yuleiguan City to deliver the letter.
"This piece of Dingguo is on the nose!"
"Too much."
"I can't go, this kid might be holding back."
"Since we want to meet, let Zhang Dingguo come to Guanli to meet the admiral."
The generals didn't believe in Zhang Dingguo. In fact, after Zhang Dapeng said that he wanted to make excuses, the opposition never stopped. But on this matter, Zhang Dapeng's attitude was unusually tough.
This was the first time he directly used the title of admiral to suppress someone.
"It's normal for Zhang Dingguo to have worries and even doubts. It's not so easy to resolve such suspicions all at once. It's not too much for him to propose a meeting at the bridgehead. I'll go to the meeting for a while."
"No admiral!"
"Don't trust the thief!"
"Everyone, don't say any more. If I mistakenly believe in Zhang Dingguo and am captured or killed by him, then the camp will be handed over to Wendu Supervisor to act as admiral temporarily. I also ask Deputy Admiral Liu, General Tang, General He, etc. to be united. assist.
Also, even if I am unfortunately slaughtered, don't rush to avenge me or something. It is best to retreat to Tieluzhai and Linjiang Pass and let Zhang Dingguo pass by, as long as he is not allowed to go to Jiezhou. "
"Everyone, Your Majesty has repeatedly emphasized that our primary enemy is the Tartars, so don't rush to fight among ourselves first, and don't take advantage of the Tartars!"
After the confession, Zhang Dapeng took Zhang Xian and several other death squad veterans across the bridge to meet.
On the fast-flowing Bailong River, a Yinping bridge is built on two cliffs.
Zhang Dingguo waited at the head of the bridge with twenty cavalry, and [-] soldiers and horses from the Western Battalion waited more than ten miles away.
"Did you say he would come?"
"I don't think so."
"He must have lied to us, how could he come here?"
Zhang Dingguo looked at the dangerous mountains and cliffs, the rushing river, and the Yinping Bridge and Yulei Pass, which are not opened by anyone, but he was inexplicably confident, "I have a hunch that he will come!"
"The officers and soldiers don't keep their word."
"This person is different. Although I have never met him before, the few words I heard about him make me feel that this person is unusual. Even after meeting, he should be able to talk to me very well."
Zhang Dingguo chatted with the general at random.
Although his face was very calm, even a little calm, but he was actually beating drums.
He very much hoped that Zhang Dapeng would be a good friend who could keep his word, so he said that he was able to be sworn brothers with Liu Jinzhong from the Xiaoqiying camp in Chaotianguan, and let Liu Jinzhong be his deputy admiral, which shows that this young man must be very special of.
Now he has to borrow a way to pass by here.
"coming!"
"he came!"
Across the bridge, a team of people came.
But only counting rides.
Zhang Dingguo squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and counted, there were only nine riders in total.
He brought twenty riders, and the other side only brought eight riders.
The other party dismounted from the horse at the other end of the bridge, tripped the horse directly, asked them to graze there, and then walked across the bridge like this.
Zhang Dingguo couldn't help being moved by this calmness.
He started to join the rebel army at the age of ten, fought south and north, and crawled in Shura Hell for 16 years. Now he is only 26, and he has actually experienced scenes that many people can't imagine in a lifetime.
When they got close, Zhang Dingguo withdrew his mind and became serious.
He adjusted his armor, took off his helmet, and even took off his sword.
Finally, the two met.
Zhang Dingguo went directly to Zhang Dapeng with his sword in hand.
The one-armed Zhang Xian was a little nervous and wanted to make Zhang Dapeng back, but Zhang Dapeng stood there calmly and even smiled at Zhang Dingguo.
"Daxi Zhang Dingguo has long admired the prestige of Admiral Zhang!"
Zhang Dingguo laughed.
"I've also heard the name of General Zhang for a long time."
Zhang Dingguo raised his sword, Zhang Dapeng stood like a pine, without any panic.
He picked up the sword, held it up with both hands, and presented it to Zhang Dapeng, "I got this sword in Xiangyang. It is a peerless sword that cuts gold and cuts jade. I will give it to Admiral Zhang as a meeting gift."
Zhang Dapeng was also polite, took it and drew out his sword to look at it, then looked at Zhang Dingguo, who also stood there calmly.
"It's really a good sword, thank you."
Zhang Dapeng also took off his own knife and handed it over, "I have carried this knife since I joined the army, and I will pay the general back."
"Thank you, Admiral, for cutting your love."
"Admiral Zhang said that he would lend us a way to fight the Tartars. I don't know if it's true or not?"
Zhang Dapeng looked at Zhang Dingguo, the two felt sorry for each other, and felt that they were very right-tempered.
"According to the order of Long live, I entered Sichuan from the west of Nanjing Yuqian, and became the battalion officer of the imperial camp in Sichuan and Shanxi. If it wasn’t for my lack of information about the establishment of the Shaanxi-Gansu camp, I remember that Zhang Xianzhong submitted to the court earlier and was conferred the title of King of Yunnan by the Lord Long Live? It seems that General Zhang and other four adopted sons were also conferred the title of marquis?”
"I don't seem to have heard of any changes, so it means that Zhang Xianzhong is still the vassal king of Ming Dynasty, General Zhang is also a general of Ming Dynasty, and your 2 troops are still all the troops of the imperial court.
Although I am a little puzzled, you are supposed to go south to Yunnan to quell the rebellion in Shadingzhou, the chieftain, but why did you go north to fight the Tartars in Hanzhong instead?
but,
As long as you are still soldiers and horsemen under the name of the imperial court, and you go north to fight against the Tartars and build captives, then I will fully support you, which is a matter of course. "
Zhang Dingguo looked at the admiral who was a few years younger than himself, and didn't know how to answer for a while.
It can’t be said that although my adoptive father didn’t openly raise the banner of anti-Ming, he actually tore up the agreement to surrender and recruit security, and destroyed Chengdu Chuchuan, just to find another way out.
He also knew in his heart that the other party must also know the current situation, but the other party said that the Western Army did not openly contradict the matter, which gave them a step down and provided convenience for borrowing the way.
"General Zhang, I, Zhang Dapeng, and the Shaanxi-Gansu Camp are currently limited in our abilities and can't help much, but more or less we must help in this case. I have already prepared five thousand stones for you, plus some arrows. .”
"I hope you don't feel disgusted."
"In addition, if you need reinforcements in Hanzhong, you can send someone to call at any time, and I will definitely help you if you can."
"In case the situation is unfavorable, you can also safely retreat to me, and I will definitely respond!"
Zhang Dingguo was in a daze.
Five thousand stone grains, for their 2 horses, is enough to serve the army for at least half a month.Besides, this is Jiezhou, and the [-]-mile Yinping plank road is so difficult, I am afraid that these grains are also quite precious grains for the Ming army at Yulei Pass.
Now they are willing to give him this trust, so that he doesn't know what to say.
"Needless to say anything, it's all to resist the invasion of foreign captives and to restore China. If I hadn't been ordered to send troops without authorization, I would have gone to Hanzhong with you to kill the captives side by side."
Zhang Dingguo was in a complicated mood.
"Admiral please accept my worship!"
"General Zhang can't, I'm younger than you, so I don't dare to be."
"If the admiral doesn't dislike it, why don't you and I marry Jinlan here at Yinping Bridge today? I really like the admiral, sorry for the abruptness!"
"The general's proposal is very good, so let's make a sworn brotherhood here."
There is not much difference in age between the two. The young general in his 20s, under the witness of the soldiers of both sides, knelt down at the bridgehead by the river, gathered soil for incense, and swore to the sky that he would marry Jinlan.
Zhang Dingguo took the water bag he was carrying, cut his palm with a short knife, and dripped blood into the water. Zhang Dapeng also cut his palm with a knife and dripped blood into the water.
The two used water instead of wine, and drank blood as an alliance!
After swearing, let's drink blood wine together.
The two embraced each other, feeling very happy.
Even because of this sworn brotherhood, the commander-in-chief of the two troops established trust.
"Brother, please lead your troops across the bridge!"
"Thank you, second brother!"
