Chapter 1002: Raid on the Loop


A few years ago, the Zhou army occupied the Hetao, and Wu Sangui requisitioned the people, established four guards, and developed the Hetao.With the reclamation of the Tun army, the Zhou State obtained millions of acres of fertile land in the Hetao, and the Hetao also became the main grain-producing area of the Zhou State.Early in the morning, it rained all night, and finally stopped.The clouds in the sky are thinning and lightening, the white mist covers the grassland, and the water on the ground forms puddles.At this moment, the horses' hooves stepped into the puddle, muddy water splashed, and the Mongol cavalry roared from the north.There was a village in front of you, hundreds of earthen houses, neatly arranged.The cavalry roared into the village, but it was lifeless, the doors of every house were open, but the people were gone.Prince Korqin couldn't help frowning, "Why is it an empty village again!"

Where do all the people go?

”The Mongol cavalry was ordered to bypass the city of Guihua and raid Houtao from the north, and the Zhou state reclaimed the area, but the army went south, all the way over, but found that the Zhou army's tunzhuang was completely empty, no one was in the village, the land reclaimed was not sown."

Lord Wang!

The house was dusty, and Tian was panicked, and the people should have been gone for a few months. ”A Mongolian general said in a deep voice.A few months earlier, Hong had ordered a portion of the Tun army in the Hetao area to move to the Western Regions.At that time, the people from Guanzhong were transferred to the Western Regions, which was easy to expose their intentions, cause panic, and would suffer fierce opposition from the local wealthy families in Guanzhong, so Hong Chengchou hit the idea on the Hetao Tun army.The Hetao is far away from Guanzhong, communication is inconvenient, and it is garrisoned by the government's cantonment troops, which is convenient to mobilize and will not attract the attention of Guanzhong.Therefore, since the beginning of the year, Hong Chengchou secretly transferred the Tun army from Hetao to the Western Regions, and the attention of the Ming Dynasty was mainly in the Guannei and did not pay attention to the Hetao, so he did not know that most of the Tun army had been withdrawn.Seeing this, he pulled the horse and said, "Continue south!"

”The cavalry continued to gallop south, and when they were only fifty miles away from the Yellow River, a dense tent finally appeared in front of them, and some Mongols from the Ordos tribe were untying their flocks of sheep and grazing.Seeing this, his heart was overjoyed, and he hurriedly drew his scimitar and roared loudly: "Kill me!"

”The silence was broken by a roar, and the Mongol cavalry divided into several groups and outflanked them from all sides.After the Zhou army conquered the Mongol tribes in the Hetao area, they pulled out the teeth of the Mongol tribes, and the elite Mongol warriors were incorporated into the Zhou army, leaving only a group of nomadic old and weak.The sudden change woke up the tribe, and the tribesmen got on their horses one after another, picked up their weapons to meet them, but they were far from being the opponents of the elite cavalry, and they were shot off their horses during the gallop, and they were cut under the horses by scimitars in the hedge.In the camp, outside a big tent, more than a dozen Mongolians hurriedly helped a young man onto his horse, "Young chief, go quickly!"

”At this time, Chahan's cavalry had already rushed into the camp, and the Mongols slapped the young horse's buttocks, and when they saw the war horse rushing out, they hurriedly pulled out their horses and turned back to meet the rushing enemy.Several sharp arrows swished and hit the horse's head, the horse fell, and the Mongols also rolled to the ground, surrounded by Chahan's cavalry.In a matter of moments, the camp was captured by Chahan, and all but a few of the herdsmen, accustomed to being managed, fled to their knees.~~~~~ that year, the Zhou army conquered Hetao, Wu Sangui led the troops, and attacked the Ordos Mongolia in Houtao, while Jiang Xiang attacked the Tumut Mongolia in Guihua City.After the war, the court of the Zhou State occupied the back set, while Jiang Xiang occupied the naturalization, and changed the name of naturalization to Yunzhong, and set up the Yunzhong Festival Envoy.The front set and the back set were originally not subordinate to each other, and they lived their own lives, but a month ago, Wu Sangui suddenly issued an order to crown Jiang Xiang as the king of Jin, and gave Jiang Xiang Hetao and Henan.After the battle of Guanzhong that year, Jiang Xiang was demoted from the king of a word to the king of the county, and cut off Hedong, although Hedong is still called the king of Jin, the Ming Dynasty also called Jiang Xiang the king of Jin for a long time, and the Zhou army of Hedong was the Jin army, but the official of the Zhou State did not recognize it after all.Now Wu Sangui is the king of Zhou, and Jiang Xiang is the king of Jin, which is almost equal to being on an equal footing.Although Jiang Xiang knew that Wu Sangui was not well-intentioned, but hoped that the Jin army could help him resist the attack of the Ming Dynasty, Jiang Xiang still accepted it gladly.After all, whether it is to fight against the Ming Dynasty or surrender to the Ming Dynasty, it is not a bad thing for him to have a larger territory and a higher status.If the Ming Dynasty could not give Jiang Xiang a satisfactory treaty, Jiang Xiang and Wu Sangui would stand aside and resist the Ming Dynasty together, and they could gain more territory, which would undoubtedly increase the strength of the Jin army.If he decided to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty and sit on the lands of Hedong, Luoyang, and Hetao, it would undoubtedly increase Jiang Xiang's bargaining chips and capital.In the face of Wu Sangui's canonization, Jiang Xiang only thought that it was a compromise made by Wu Sangui in order to win him over after the fall of Sichuan, so he gladly accepted it.After receiving the canonization, Jiang Xiang sent his brother Jiang Rang to Luoyang, and his brother Jiang Xuan took over the back set.In the city of Guihua, Yunzhong Jiedu envoy met Jiang Xuan and was furious when he got the news of the Mongols' raid.Over the years, with the light of the Ming Dynasty and Wu Sangui, the Mongols, who were originally regarded as beasts of the flood, have in turn become lambs in the eyes of the Jiang family.In the past, they were all Mongols, who went south to plunder from time to time, but in recent years, they have reversed, and the Ming army, Zhou army, and Jin army have nothing to do and go out to rob the Mongols, and rob some cattle, sheep and horses back.Jiang Xuan was stationed in naturalization, and in recent years, he often fought with Chahar and Tushetu, and the Jin army, with its excellent armor and sharp muskets, can be said to have won more and lost less, taking advantage of a lot.Therefore, the Jin army stationed outside the Great Wall gradually changed the strategy of relying on the Great Wall for defense in the past, and changed to attack and defend, taking the initiative to attack, so that the Mongols did not dare to invade the Hetao area.After all, the Hetao is outside the Great Wall, and there is no Great Wall to protect it, so if the Mongols come to plunder from time to time, then whether it is farming or grazing, it will be difficult to live.Under the initiative of the Jin army and the Zhou army, in recent years, the Mongols have been relatively honest and do not dare to take the initiative to go to war.At this time, Jiang Xuan heard that Mobei Mongolia actually dared to attack the Hetao, and he was immediately furious.Just when the Chahan cavalry came out in all directions and attacked the back set, the gate of the naturalization city was wide open, and the iron cavalry of the three thousand Jin army galloped out of the city, the horses' hooves were like thunder, the dust was flying, and the back set was rushing forward.The Mongols dared to take the initiative to sneak attack, and their arrogance must be defeated, otherwise there would be no peace in the Hetao area.Jiang Xuan led the cavalry to gallop, and not long after he left, 20,000 Ming cavalry galloped in and seized Guihua City.After Wu Sangui gave the Houtao to the Jiang family, the Zhou army's forces retreated to Guanzhong, so the Houtao forces were empty, and Jiang Xuan did not have time to receive the Houtao, and did not send a garrison.This made Jiang Xuan a little anxious in his heart, urging his soldiers and horses to gallop for fifty miles, and when he was about to pass through a forest, a trumpet suddenly sounded, and thousands of Ming troops were killed on both sides.
