At dawn, Wang Jianzhi rushed to Anhua City after a long journey. He did not dare to walk on the main road, and could only find some less traveled paths. He did not dare to walk during the day, so he could only wait until night and set off carefully, so Although he set off earlier than Li Dong and others, he arrived in Anhua City later than Li Dong and others.
Finally arriving, he breathed a long sigh of relief, but he was immediately frightened by the soldiers standing guard at the city gate. That uniform was the uniform of the Guards, which he would never forget.
Looking at Wang Jianzhi who looked like a beggar, the guard guarding the door didn't pay attention and stopped him, "I'm sorry, fellow man, the whole city is under martial law! No entry or exit allowed."
Wang Jianzhi lowered his head and walked away silently. He walked a full five miles before he dared to look back. His eyes were full of fear and he murmured to himself, "So fast so fast" "
He was walking in the wilderness with no direction and his mind was in a state of confusion. Where should I go?
At this time, there was a sway in the withered grass nearby, and a man even more miserable than Wang Jianzhi emerged from it. Judging from his appearance, he should be a Mongolian.
Go to the grassland! A voice immediately sounded in Wang Jianzhi's mind
Li Dong was sitting on the Kowloon chair in the palace hall, with the gold armrests patted by his hands.
"This chair is also uncomfortable. I really don't understand why so many people like to grab this chair to sit on."
There was a woman kneeling below. She raised her head and glanced at Li Dong in surprise, then quickly lowered her head.
"Liu Piaopiao! You deserve great credit for being able to capture Anhua City so quickly this time! What reward do you want?"
"This is the duty of a daughter of the people. A daughter of the people dare not ask for any reward!"
"You have a backup job in Jinyiwei, why do you still claim to be a civilian girl? You should call yourself a subordinate!"
"This time it was all thanks to the emperor's coordination that we were able to achieve such a miraculous feat. I just acted according to the emperor's instructions and I dare not take any credit!"
"You are quite good at talking. These are also taught in the training camp, right?"
"My subordinates tell the truth."
Li Dong threw a baggage in front of Liu Piaopiao.
"There is a thousand taels of silver note in it to reward you, and another is your new identity. Nanchang, Jiangxi is a good place. You can live there."
"Yes, I understand!" Liu Piaopiao responded with a low eyebrow.
"Only Li Xiang knows your true identity. If he doesn't send anyone to find you, you can live a peaceful life for the rest of your life!"
Liu Piaopiao trembled violently and stood there for a long time. Then she kowtowed three times to Li Dong like a man and said in a trembling voice, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"
"Stay back!" From the beginning to the end, Li Dong didn't give Liu Piaopian any smile.
"My subordinates resign!"
Seeing Liu Piaopiao retreating, Li Dong breathed a sigh of relief. This woman's appearance was really alluring, which made Li Dong's heart flutter. At this time, Li Xiang walked in, half-smiling but not smiling. Looking at Liu Piaopiao's retreating back, he looked at Li Dong who was wiping his saliva.
"Does the commander-in-chief want his subordinates to secretly arrange one"
"Come on, it's not like you don't know. I already have three fuel-inefficient lamps at home. If a woman from your training camp comes here, will you let me live?"
Li Xiang chuckled, then coughed seriously. "Commander, Zhou Ang has been buried. According to your request, I was afraid that someone would dig the grave, so I didn't write his name."
Li Dong nodded, "It's a pity that such a person dies like this."
Li Xiang looked at Li Dong and whispered, "Commander, I heard that there are many ways to make life worse than death in the Jinyi Guard Prison. Do you want to let that prince try it?"
"Forget it, look at King Anhua's urine, he looks like a stinky fish and a rotten shrimp. Ignore him and let him fend for himself! Claim to the outside world that he committed suicide by taking poison!"
"Yes, Marshal, the bones of Jiang Han, Li Zeng, and An Weixue have also been found and buried."
"These three people are all loyal ministers, and they should be greatly praised. Their descendants and families should be taken good care of. As for those officials who have taken refuge in King Anhua, they should be killed, arrested, and those whose homes should be ransacked will be ransacked!"
¡°Don¡¯t worry, Commander, my subordinates understand what to do. By the way, Commander, there is something that I think is quite strange.¡±
"What's up?"
"My subordinates interrogated King Anhua last night. King Anhua also had a shaman named Hu Legen. I remembered a certain person. Do you think he could be the shaman from Hoqi's department who wanted to harm you?"
"Where are the others?" Li Dong frowned.?Brow.
Li Xiang shook his head, "Dewey went from house to house in the city to search for the chaotic party. Wang Ping captured the defeated troops outside the city. Although he also captured a few Mongolians, they were not him. They probably took advantage of the chaos and ran away."
"I just ran away. What could such a charlatan do to me? Speaking of the grassland, I wonder how the money bank is doing." Li Dong looked worriedly in the direction of the grassland
In the impression of the Mongolian tribes in the grassland, it has been many years since there was a Ming army that dared to take the initiative to go out. People of the older generation often say that many years ago, there were very few times when the Ming court sent troops into the grassland, but They were all defeated by the highly mobile Mongolian cavalry. From then on, the Ming people did not dare to set foot on the grassland. Instead, the heroes on the grassland kept riding south, while the Ming army just stayed in their own land. Garrisoned in a strong fortress, unable to get out. Almost every autumn and winter, large and small groups of prairie cavalry would go south to show off their power, plunder property, arrest people, and even tease and kill captured Han slaves in front of the Ming army's fortress to demonstrate their military power.
Therefore, most Mongolians think that the Ming army is as timid and weak as a rat. For this reason, all the grassland tribes close to the Ming Dynasty's border gates only have a few warning personnel placed between their tribes and the border gates. However, a large number of sentries are used to guard against other tribes on the grassland. Our own people are sometimes more terrifying than the enemies.
Fifty miles away from the Otok tribe, sentries were stationed there. When the sentries found that a large group of enemies was coming, they would light up smoke during the day and release haidongqing at night. Their main task is to serve as an early warning, so that the tribe can prepare in advance to meet the enemy, or find help from familiar tribes.
Facing the Jingbian Fort in Shaanxi Province during the Ming Dynasty, a sentry from the Otok tribe was taking a nap. During the day, he rode around in this area and found nothing unusual. Now that he was a little tired, he hid in the morning. He dug a nest in the ground and lit a fire in it before nightfall. The heat had not dissipated yet, so it was a good time to sleep.
Drowsily, he heard a rustling sound outside. The sentry woke up slightly, wondering if there was a wolf. He just grabbed the weapon at hand, and the straw curtain covering the entrance of the den was lifted by someone. Opened, several arrow clusters shot in quickly, and the sentry let out several hoarse screams of pain, and then a man got into the hole in the ground, stabbing him constantly with the sword in his hand.
"General Qian, all thirteen sentry nests around here have been removed!" Huheba Ri reported to Qian Xing.
Don¡¯t forget that these bald soldiers were all from the Golden Horde warriors who ruled the grasslands before. It is too easy to clear hidden piles like this.
Qian Xing looked at Huhe Bari with a complicated expression. This former Golden Horde warrior actually surrendered to his commander-in-chief and performed well in previous battles. Now he is leading the Ming army to massacre his own people on the grassland. He really couldn't understand such behavior among the same kind.
Qian Xing doesn't understand the Mongolians. It's easy and difficult to win the friendship of the Mongolians. It sounds contradictory, but it is true. Sometimes you give him a lot of help, but you don't get their gratitude. Sometimes, just because of a glass of water or a small thing, they can help you and spare no effort to help you.
Genghis Khan Temujin should be regarded as a representative figure of the Mongols. Jamukha was his Anda. He once helped him defeat the Merbeggers, regain his wife, and also helped him recall his lost tribesmen. But Temujin not only Some of the tribesmen and animals that were originally attached to Zhamuhe were taken away. In the end, Zhamuhe died in Temujin's hands, and Bo Shu, one of Temujin's "Four Heroes", was just After regaining a few war horses for Temujin, the two formed an alliance with Anda, and Temujin trusted him throughout his life.
Huhe Bari glanced at Qian Xing in surprise, wondering why the young general was staring at him.
"General Qian, the soldiers of the Otok tribe have a reputation for bravery on the grasslands. General Qian, please be more careful!"
Qian Xing nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you for the reminder. You will know how powerful your Mongolian cavalry are. If you go head-to-head with them, you will be at odds with yourself. I can't say that the commander-in-chief entrusts the cavalry to me." Go back after a miserable victory, otherwise the commander-in-chief won¡¯t be able to spare me!¡±
"That's what the general said!"
"Lao Hu, do you have any good ideas?" Qian Xing asked Hu and Bari with a smile.
Huheba Ri smiled bitterly and shook his head. These Han people always like to use the first character of their names as their surnames, and then add the old character to call them bareheaded soldiers.
"General Qian, we cannot let the Otok cavalry run out of their camp, block them in the camp overnight without them noticing, and then take advantage of our firearms to encroach on them bit by bit. Otherwise, there will be people outside."The cavalry is harassing us, and some tribesmen are relying on the camp to resist. I'm afraid this battle will have to be fought. The food and grass we brought may not last that long. What if other tribes find out, steal our retreat, and attack us from both front and rear? , the consequences. . . "
Qian Xing nodded in approval and said, "What you said makes sense. But I want to let their cavalry out. We have eliminated nearly 2,000 of their cavalry in the pass. If we eat up his remaining cavalry, by then They have no warriors inside and no reinforcements outside, so what else can they do to stop us from attacking the camp?"
"But General Qian, didn't you just say that you didn't plan to confront them head-on?" Huhe Bari asked in confusion.
¡°I don¡¯t plan to confront them head-on now, Lao Hu, I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll have to trouble you to make a trip¡± Qian Xing smiled mischievously
Jida is the second son of Narisu, the leader of the Otok tribe. He is currently riding his beloved Qingli Huaer back and forth on a hillside next to the tribe, but this does not make him feel at all Be more comfortable. Abba actually sent the third child to lead the troops into the customs. The third child only talks to please the old man, but he is always outside fighting for the tribe. But if there is really any good thing, the old man should think of the third child first. I really don¡¯t know. What did the old man think?
Jida is a typical Mongolian image, with prominent cheekbones and sunken eye sockets. The cotton robe on his body is bulging out from his chest muscles. He is as strong as if he were made of iron. At the age of twenty-seven or eighty-years-old, he is in the prime of life. He is a Mongolian in his prime age. He has a bald forehead, countless pigtails on the back of his head, and a bell, which adds a lot of toughness and ferocity to him. He is waving a spear as thick as his arm, and his voice is like The beasts in the mountains are roaring.
At this time, a lone rider came from the other side of the hillside, approaching quickly like a ghost. The guards behind Jeddah smiled slightly and looked over there casually. Their master was in a bad mood these days, so he could kill him. Personal relief from boredom. A person missing on the grassland is as normal as a drop of water evaporating in the desert.
Jida shook his head and made a series of loud ringtones. He also saw that person. He was as strong as him. It must be very exciting to kill such a person. Besides, the opponent was actually wearing good cavalry armor. , such a good thing can't be bought with money. This reason is enough to kill him. The corners of Jida's mouth twitched, and a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his face, just like a ferocious beast seeing its prey.
Huheba Ri cursed Qian Xing in his heart for his scheming and actually asked him to lure the snake out of its hole. Although he was reluctant, when he saw those Otok herdsmen, the murderous aura in his eyes was beating like a flame. got up. What surprised him was that the mighty-looking Otok herdsmen on the opposite side had the same murderous intent as him. They rode their horses and rushed towards him without even asking a question.
