Shenyang City, in the temporary palace.After a short time, the Horqin chieftain Chahan, who had not yet left, and the envoys of the Chechen Khan and Chahar tribes, came to the outside of the palace.The people gathered in front of the temple and talked in twos and threes, asking why the Lord Regent had summoned them.At this time, a guard came out, "Everyone, enter the temple!"
”Zhao Ming acted resolutely, sending messengers to mobilize cavalry in the pass on the one hand, and summoning the Mongolian tribes to meet him.Although the Ming army has trained a lot of cavalry over the years, there are only about 30,000 cavalrymen who can undertake long-distance attacks.Therefore, Zhao Ming needed the assistance of the Mongols in the battle, and he needed to obtain reinforcements from the Mongol cavalry.Chahan and the others came in, and they all saluted Zhao Ming, "Slaves and others, meet the regent!"
”Zhao Ming waved his hand, "Get up!"
Throne!
”The Mongols were flattered and sat on the chairs brought by the guards with half their butts.At this time, everyone saw that Zhao Ming didn't speak, Chahan broke the silence and said in a low voice: "The regent summoned the servants and others to come, I don't know what?"
As long as the regent explains, the slave will never give up. ”Zhao Ming smiled slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Hailan Pao battled, Da Ming repelled the Rakshasa and made the Jurchens submit, and you also surrendered to the widows.However, in the world, there are still people who do not accept the king, and they do not submit to the throne!
Now that the Northeast Jurchen is established, the steppe Mongolia has been settled.The widow is determined to take advantage of the situation to sweep away the Zhou State and dominate the world. ”Zhao Ming glanced at everyone and said majestically: "Now, the widows are ready to attack Zhou on a large scale, but before the invasion of Zhou, the widows will mobilize your troops and horses, cooperate with the widow cavalry, and attack the Zhou country."
Do you have any objections?
”In the face of Zhao Ming's majestic tone, the Mongolian tribes had just seen the divine might of the Ming army, which dared to disagree."
The minion is willing to work for the Ming Dynasty!"
Chahan and the others hurriedly saluted.Zhao Ming bowed his head with satisfaction, glanced at Chahan, and suddenly said in a gentle tone: "The widow heard that you have a daughter, but you haven't married yet?"
”Chahan perked up, and hurriedly kowtowed: "The slave does have a daughter Haizhu, who has not yet married. ”Zhao Ming smiled slightly, didn't say anything, and got up to leave.However, Chahan was ecstatic in his heart, and he didn't care at all about sending troops and sending his daughter again, and being taken advantage of by Zhao Ming.…… Hebei, Jixian County.In the river valley south of Xifengkou, a Ming soldier led a war horse and took advantage of the cover of night to get out of the pass.The cavalry of the Ming army each had three horses, one holding the armor and equipment of the cavalry, one dragging rations, and the other carrying the military resources of the army, including tents, as well as bronze cannons and tiger cannons.On the Great Wall, Li Yuanyin was wearing armor and pressing his sword, and the soldiers around him were carrying torches, watching the soldiers pass by.A few days ago, Li Yuanyin, who was in Baoding, received an order from Zhao Ming, so he led 30,000 cavalry and quietly transferred to Tianjin, and then exited the Great Wall of Jizhou and went to Chengde to join the Mongols waiting there.It took 30,000 cavalry one night to leave the Xifeng Pass and arrive in Chengde a day later.This is the Mongolian pasture of the Chahar tribe, and a few months ago, the Ming army was often at war with the Chahars, and they did not want to submit to the Ming Dynasty now."
Governor, look!"
One of the generals pointed into the distance.Li Yuanyin raised his head, and only a stretch of yurts appeared in front of him, and countless Mongolian cavalry, cattle and sheep entered and exited.At this time, a group of cavalry roared in the camp, and Chahan led a group of Mongols to rein in front of the army."
Li Dudu, Humble Chahan has prepared a camp for the army!"
Chahan glanced at Li Yuanyin and saluted.At that moment, Li Yuanyin was talking with several Mongolian leaders while going to the camp and learned that Chengde had gathered nearly 40,000 Mongolian cavalry.Of the 40,000 cavalry, the Chechen Khan sent 5,000 troops, Korqin sent 20,000 troops, and Chahar sent 15,000 troops.It was night in the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Yuanyin stood in front of the map, watching the Mongol and Zhou army garrisons in Guihua City and Hetao in the west.If the Ming army wants to make a detour and break into Hexi, it must be clear about the enemy forces in Hetao and Guihua City, otherwise they will not block the way, and they will be like a dagger against his back.If they were not clear, Li Yuanyin would not have been able to bypass the Hetao and attack Gansu."
Dudu, the soldiers and horses and population of the Zhou army outside the mouth are mainly divided into two parts, one is the front set centered on the Naturalization City, which is here!"
Chahan was very diligent for this expedition, and had already inquired about the situation of the Zhou army in Hetao.He pointed to a red circle on the map, "The Zhou army in the naturalized city is the soldiers and horses of Jiang Xiang in Shanxi, there are about 5,000 people, and there are tens of thousands of naturalized Tumut Mongols living around. ”Li Yuanyin bowed his head slightly and asked, "How is the defense of this Naturalization City?"
”Chahartaiji has been watching and observing Li Yuanyin, and found that this Ming Dynasty general was a talent, and he was very happy in his heart.When he saw that Chahan had given his daughter to the regent, he also wanted to give all his women to the Ming Dynasty officials in order to gain political protection.At this time, he saw Li Yuanyin asking, and hurriedly said: "Dudu, after Jiang Xiang occupied the naturalization city, he strengthened the city, if it is attacked, it will not be able to break it for a while." ”Li Yuanyin frowned when he heard this, even if he was running for thousands of miles, what he wanted was speed and surprise, if he wasted time in Naturalization City, it would be easy for Zhou Jun to find out his intentions."
What's the aftermath?"
Li Yuanyin asked.Chahan pointed to a red circle on the map, "This is the back set, fertile fields for thousands of miles, and fertile pastures."
The Zhou army has tens of thousands of troops here, and there are also Ordos departments grazing here.There are more Zhou troops here than the Zhou army in Naturalization City, but there is no city like Naturalization City. ”After listening to the information provided by the Mongols, Li Yuanyin gradually had a plan in his heart to attack the Hetao.Li Yuanyin was silent for a moment, and said to everyone: "Jiang Xiang has been operating in Guihua City for many years, and our army is mainly cavalry, and it will attack the city directly, and it may be blocked by the enemy army under the city.In this way, when Wu Sangui gets the news, he will guess our intentions, and the regent's plan will fail.Therefore, for the enemy army in the Hetao, it is necessary to use strategy to break through it quickly. ”Chahan and Chahartaiji couldn't help laughing: "It seems that the governor already has a plan. ”Li Yuanyin nodded, "This governor needs your cooperation, you will lead the army, bypass the Naturalization City, and raid the Houtao under the banner of the Tuxie Tu Department and the Zasak Tu Department, and the Zhou army in the Naturalization City will definitely send troops to rescue when they get the news, and then the Governor can take advantage of the void to capture the Naturalization City." ”The Tushetu and Zasaktu tribes were Mobei Mongolia, and they were not subject to the Zhou state, and conflicts often broke out with the Zhou state.The Horqin, Chahar, and Chechen departments made a detour to the north to raid Houtao, and the Zhou army only thought it was Mobei Mongolia and would not suspect that it was the Ming army.Chahan and the others glanced at each other and saluted: "The governor is wise, and he is lowly and commanded." ”Li Yuanyin immediately said in a deep voice: "Without further ado, the soldiers are fast, rest for the night, and act separately tomorrow." ”(Updated tomorrow) ()
