    Although it has just passed July, the cold wind of early autumn in Liaodong is already very cold, especially in the middle of the night. The flowers in the tent tightened the tight-fitting sheepskin jacket, and casually grabbed a few pieces of dried cow dung and threw them in front of them.  Then he put a piece of mutton next to him on the fork and put it on the fire to roast. After a while, the fresh mutton began to emit an attractive aroma.  Hua Dang is just forty years old this year and is in his prime as a man. He has a standard Mongolian face, with a round face, a flat nose, obvious sunburn on his cheeks, and slender eyes with twinkling twinkles.  The cold light made it clear at first glance that the Mongolian in front of him was no simple figure.  After the mutton on the fire was cooked, Hua Dang put the mutton on the plate in front of him, then picked up the knife and cut the mutton into slices, wiped it in the salt bowl next to it and put it into his mouth.  Although Huadang is the leader of Duoyan Guard, his daily life is no different from that of ordinary Mongolians. He even doesn¡¯t like to wear silk and cotton from the Ming Dynasty. He usually wears a thick and hard sheepskin jacket.  People who knew him would never guess that the ordinary Mongolian man in front of him was Huadang, the leader of the Duoyan Guards who was famous in Liaodong.  It's already past the third watch. The reason why Hua Dang hasn't slept yet is because he has to think over his plan again before the sneak attack to see if there is anything missing. This is also his habit before every battle.  .  Speaking of which, the reason why he was able to lead Duoyan Guards to sit firmly at the head of the three Duoyan Guards was due to his cautious character.  Originally, after Huadang heard the news that Ming had once again defeated the little Tatar prince, and at the same time increased its troops in Liaodong, he immediately decided to leave the Tatars and submit to Ming. However, what he never expected was that Ming would  He actually made a very excessive request.  Not only was he required to hand over his military power, but he was also required to send officials into Duoyan Sanwei to manage various tribes. In this way, his flowers could only be used as decorations, so he could not agree to such conditions anyway.  Huadang rejected the conditions proposed by Daming.  He immediately made preparations for the war. He had seen from the previous defeats of the little Tatar prince to the Ming Dynasty that the Ming Dynasty was no longer the weak tiger before, but a tiger that suddenly recovered from illness and recovered.  It can be said that the current Ming Dynasty is very scary.  It was even more terrifying than when Zhu Di was emperor, so he had to use all his energy to deal with it.  In fact, facing the aggressive Ming Dynasty, Hua Dang's reason told him that he would never be able to defeat the Ming Dynasty. Even if he could defeat the Ming Dynasty's attack this time, it would still be due to the national strength of the Ming Dynasty.  The second and third attacks can be organized soon. With the strength of the three Duoyan guards, they cannot defeat a behemoth like Daming. Therefore, facing this situation, their wisest choice is to escape, and to escape.  The better to go north, taking advantage of the vastness of the country and the speed of the horses.  This makes Ming unable to catch up at all, and then when Ming's strength begins to decline, they will fight back at that time.  However, although the above idea is good, it is unrealistic. The first reason is that the timing chosen by Ming Dynasty to attack is so good. It is autumn now, and the cattle and sheep on the grassland are in the fattening season. If the cattle and sheep cannot be allowed to  If they grow enough fat, they may not be able to survive the severe cold winter, so this season is definitely not suitable for tribal migration.  Not to mention migrating to colder places in the north.  Huadang has already asked the tribal elders about this, and they told him that if the tribe moves north now, half of the women and children in the tribe may die, and most of the cattle and sheep will be reduced.  At that time, their tribe may collapse without being attacked by others.  The second reason is that the grasslands in the north are getting colder and colder. They finally moved from the north to the relatively warm Daning area. The tribesmen have become accustomed to the climate here. If they move to the north, they may not only die.  , and it will also cause dissatisfaction among the tribesmen. In addition, after they left, the northern grasslands have been occupied by other nomadic tribes. If they want to go back, they must go to war with those tribes, and this is a battle for survival.  It must end with the complete destruction of one party, otherwise no one can give in. This is more cruel than any war.  It is precisely because of the above reasons that after thinking for a long time, Hua Dang finally decided to use force to protect his homeland. This was the land that Zhu Di rewarded his people, and it was also the war merits that his ancestors had paid for with their blood.  , all because Ming Dynasty did not keep its promise, so in the end they had to use force to take it back. Now that Ming Dynasty wants to use force to drive them out again, let God decide who owns this land.  Thinking of the unfair treatment of his tribe, Hua Dang also showed a look of determination on his face. This time he had found out clearly that the 70,000 troops attacking him from the south were all the elite of the border army. In addition, he also got a  The exact news, who is leading this army?The leader's name was Zhu Shou, and he had just been conferred the title of Duke of Zhenguo by the Ming Dynasty. However, Hua Dang knew that this so-called Zhu Shou was actually Zhu Houzhao, the absurd emperor of the Ming Dynasty.  Hua Dang was originally very excited about the Ming Emperor's personal conquest, because he had heard of the Ming Emperor's ridiculous name. If such a person led an army to attack him, he must belong to this ridiculous emperor.  On a whim, as long as he can defeat the opponent several times in the early stage, Zhu Houzhao will definitely become discouraged and fearful, and may even order the withdrawal of troops.  Of course, Huadang also heard about the fact that the Duke of Zhenguo, whose pseudonym was Zhu Shou, led troops to repel the little Tatar prince in Datong. However, Huadang believed that this was definitely not commanded by Zhu Houzhao himself, but by someone else from the Ming Dynasty.  The general defeated the little Tatar prince, and then Zhu Houzhao took it to increase his reputation. After all, he absolutely did not believe that an emperor who grew up in a deep palace could defeat the little Tatar prince who roamed the grasslands.  However, Huadang soon discovered that the conclusion he had reached before was a bit hasty, because since the Ming Dynasty's army entered the grassland, he has been sending cavalry non-stop, either to harass or investigate. As a result, Huadang was very surprised to find that the Ming Dynasty's army  Under the command of Zhu Houzhao, the army advanced and retreated in an orderly manner. Whether marching during the day or camping at night, the Ming army did not reveal any flaws. Several cavalry groups he sent to test were captured before they could get close to the Ming army.  The Ming cavalry outside jointly strangled, which shows that this Ming army is definitely not as vulnerable as I thought.  It was precisely because they saw how difficult the Ming Dynasty's army was that Hua Dang led Duoyan Guard's army and did not dare to approach the opponent. After all, the total number of troops that Duoyan Guard could use was only 30,000, which was less than half of the opponent's number.  , if they are bitten by the Ming Dynasty's cavalry and then surrounded by the opponent's infantry, then their Duoyan Guards may really be exterminated, so Hua Dang can only hide far away with the army. Unless it is a last resort, absolutely  Don't reveal your whereabouts.  Originally, Hua Dang wanted to wait for an opportunity to find flaws in the Ming army. After all, during the long march, the opponent would always make some oversights. Then that would be his opportunity. After all, their army was too small and they were facing a battle with the Ming army.  That was just looking for death, so he could only use a sneak attack. It was a pity that Zhengde didn't give him any chance for a sneak attack.  Seeing that the Ming army was getting closer and closer to Daning, even only three or four days away. In order not to give the Ming army any chance, Huadang implemented a strategy of clearing the grassland and all the tribes were moved there.  Around Daning, it's just autumn, and cattle and sheep need vast grasslands for grazing, so the area around Daning where tribes are scattered is very scattered. As long as the Ming army moves forward for one day, they can encounter grazing tribes.  tribe.  Although the Ming Dynasty's army has not appeared on the grassland for many years, Hua Dang still remembers the cruel policies implemented by Zhu Di against the grassland people when he attacked the grassland. In fact, it cannot be said that Zhu Di was cruel. He only imposed the Mongols on the Han people.  The cruelty in his body returned. For example, when Zhu Di attacked the grassland, he would slaughter all the grassland tribes he encountered, and then robbed the tribe's cattle and sheep for food. They would even set fire to the grassland in autumn.  Burning grass, you must know that once the grass on the grassland is set on fire, it will be a catastrophe, and it is even likely that several tribes will die of freezing and starvation in the winter. It can be described as extremely sinister.  All of the above are what Huadang heard from the elders in the tribe, and these elders even experienced the catastrophe personally. As the leader of Duoyan Guard, Huadang naturally did not want his tribe to be bullied by the Ming army again.  , so he must have a fight with the Ming army tonight, and no matter what, he must prevent the Ming army from moving forward again, otherwise their people don¡¯t know how many people will die under the swords and arrows of the Ming people?  Thinking of this, Hua Dang suddenly punched the table, grabbed the mutton on the plate and ate it in several bites, then grabbed a few handfuls of vegetables from the basket next to him, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and then swallowed it.  Go down.  These green vegetables were also his secret weapon. Most people in the grassland suffered from nocturnal syndrome, but Huadang found that the Han people did not have this problem, so he arrested several Han doctors for questioning, and finally he found the reason, that is  The grassland people only eat meat and drink milk, but they don¡¯t eat vegetables like the Han people. Only those who eat vegetables for a long time can see clearly at night, so now all the men in their Duoyanwei need to eat vegetables, and most of them can already do so.  He can see clearly at night and is no longer blind. This is also an important reason why he dares to sneak attack at night.
