"Varat?"

Wang Xiao on the dragon chair showed a look of nostalgia on his face, "This name, I feel like I haven't heard it for many years." ”

Since Yongle sealed the wolf Juxu Mountain in the twenty-second year, the Wara tribe has really disappeared for a long time.

Although the spies of Jinyiwei in the steppe sent a lot of news about the resurgence of Warat in the far west of the steppe. But they were too far away, and Wang Xiao had no idea of sending troops to the Western Regions. The two sides really haven't had direct communication for many years.

Now that the Warats have suddenly invaded with a large army, this thing is strange no matter how you look at it.

Yu Qian, who had been the governor of India for five years, entered the cabinet as soon as he returned, and was in charge of the Ministry of Officials, known as the Heavenly Officials.

He stepped forward and saluted and said, "Your Majesty, it is very strange that the Warat people have been going west for many years, and they suddenly break the border at this time." ”

Wang Xiao smiled leisurely, and his gaze swept over the many Wenchen in the main hall, "There are weirdness, but don't care." Since they dare to come, then we dare to bury it. ”

The generals in the hall became excited, patting their chests at Wang Xiao one by one, shouting to lead their troops to destroy the Warat people.

Wang Xiao is different from the previous stingy Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, and Zhu Gaochi. He is very generous, as long as he can make meritorious deeds, he will definitely not be stingy with rewards.

Two years ago, when the Annan rebellion was quelled, Wang Xiao made three marquis and seven earls in one go!

Now seeing that there is an opportunity to fight, the generals in the army are eager to immediately put on the battle and exchange the heads of the Warats for their promotions and knighthoods.

Wang Xiao pondered for a moment and made a decision that shocked everyone.

"This time, I'm going to take the lead in person."

The Fengtian Hall fell silent at first, and then there was a commotion.

"Impossible~~~"

"Why did Your Majesty risk the arrows himself?"

"The country cannot be without a king, and Your Majesty cannot be moved lightly."

"How can the little Warat be so virtuous, that he actually needs His Majesty to recruit in person?"

"Wechen is willing to share his worries for His Majesty!"

"Let me go!"

"Good! This is the real Mingjun! ”

The last sentence was said by Yu Qian, and as soon as his words came out, the people around him immediately shut up and glared at him angrily.

"The country is in danger, and you should experience it yourself." Yu Qian didn't care about the eyes of others at all, and looked at Wang Xiao gushing endlessly, "Your Majesty, as the Son of Heaven, it is the responsibility of talent to protect the Ming Dynasty. The wolf ambition of the Warats has become the new overlord of the steppe in just ten years. If we can't destroy them, they will inevitably grow into a new threat to our Ming Northern Xinjiang in the future. ”

Wang Xiao's gaze fell on Xu Bin's body, and the two looked at each other and nodded slightly.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Jinyiwei was powerful, and his ability to do things far exceeded that of the descendants who had been domesticated at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Civil and military officials and even important gentry families have a large number of secret agents. Their identities range from housekeepers, coachmen, maids, and concubines.

Wang Xiao has suppressed Confucianism for ten years, although on the surface it seems that Confucianism has been tamed by Wang Xiao. But in fact, Wang Xiao knows very well the patience and ruthlessness of these big turbans. The surveillance of these people has never been relaxed.

Long before the Warats sent their troops, Wang Xiao already knew that they would come.

Because this attack of the Warat people is a transaction between the Confucian clans in the Daming Pass and the Warat people.

Their purpose is to transfer all the elite soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty near Shuntianfu to the outside of the pass, and then these Confucians, who have accumulated and endured for ten years, will fight!

If you don't fight, you won't have a chance.

With the deepening of the Age of Discovery, with the movement of people's hearts, as more and more people go overseas to lead, with the continuous dilution of the influence of Confucianism in the imperial examinations, as the life of the Ming Dynasty is getting better and better, and with the decline of Confucianism. Their living space is severely squeezed.

If this continues, Confucianism, which advocates separating itself and keeping the common people trapped in the fields, will really die.

If it was the great Confucians who were able to write and martial arts in the Han and Tang dynasties to do this, it would definitely not be easy for people to detect the news.

This kind of major event, which is not much different from the usurpation of the throne, strictly guarding secrets is the first priority.

But the problem is that at this time, the Confucian disciples of the Ming Dynasty have long lost the demeanor of their ancestors.

They met and deliberated in secret, thinking they had avoided their eyes and ears. But they didn't know that they had already fallen into the eyes of the Jinyi Guard, who had been monitoring them all the time.

Not surprisingly, the entire plan they had discussed was leaked.

After they had a meeting in the evening, the relevant news would be sent to Wang Xiao's desk the next morning.

Even, the envoy team they sent out of the customs to collude with the Warats included people from the brocade guards.

Wang Xiao has been looking for an opportunity to get Confucianism out completely, but there has never been a good enough reason.

Now that Confucianism finally took the initiative to jump out, he did not directly extinguish this matter, but pushed the boat down the river to make it bigger.

even personally drove the car to give them a good time and space.

As the leading actor, Wang Xiao is very happy to cooperate with these supporting actors. It's just that the appearance fee is very expensive.

"No more." Wang Xiao stood up, "I have made up my mind." ”

Ten years of glory have given Wang Xiao enough majesty to suppress all different voices.

When he made his decision, no one objected.

Many civil officials in the main hall looked at each other, and their eyes showed surprise.

Their original intention was to mobilize the garrisons around the Beijing Division to go out, but they didn't expect Wang Xiao to go out in person. In this way, the chances of achieving great things are greater.

The three major battalions of the Beijing Division were all taken away by Wang Xiao, and many of the princes and princes also went out together.

The entire Jingshi became empty of defense.

Some people also questioned it, saying that there was no need for the Warat people, who could not deal with tens of thousands of horses, to mobilize the people so much, but they were vetoed by Wang Xiao.

After more than a month of preparation, more than 200,000 troops marched out of the customs and into the grassland.

"Your Majesty."

Fan Zhong, who was martyred at the time of Tumubao, stepped forward and saluted, "The Warat people have been fighting and retreating, and they seem to be leading us to the depths of the grassland." ”

Wang Xiao, who put on the armor again after a few years, nodded slowly, "I know, let's chase after it." ”

Fan Zhong hesitated, "If you chase too deeply, the grain route of more than 200,000 horses will be in danger." If it is cut off by the Warats, it will be a catastrophe in an instant. ”

Wang Xiao laughed: "Do you think the logistics of the Warat people are better than ours? ”

"These guys, who ride around all day long, look very mobile, but in fact they have very poor strategic mobility."

Looking at the many strategic generals in the big tent, Wang Xiao explained to them, "The tribes on the grassland have a strong tactical ability to maneuver on horseback. But they must follow their own tribe behind them. Because they rely on the support of the tribe for their strategic supplies. ”

"These men, women and children driving ox carts and carrying tents are the biggest weakness of the steppe tribes. Without them providing food, grass, meat, and goat's milk, those steppe cavalry would not have been able to fight at all. Even if they had horses as a means of transport, these tribes would never be too far away from them. No more than five hundred miles at most. Defeat these tribal strongholds, and the steppe cavalry will be finished. ”

Many generals suddenly cast admiring glances, and tons of incense pi blurted out.

"Your Majesty, Wen Taowu, is unparalleled in the world. The steppe cavalry harassed the Central Plains for thousands of years, and only His Majesty penetrated their reality and reality. ”

Wang Xiao sighed: "I really can't recognize this reputation. In fact, this matter was discovered by a peerless famous general more than a thousand years ago, when he beat the head of the Huns to blood. repeatedly broke through the rear camp of the Huns, and made immortal feats. ”

This has been said very clearly, and it clearly points to a peak hero of the Chinese soldiers.

It's just that the generals in the big tent are all old fritters, and no one will jump out at this time and shout that I know who is going to be in the limelight.

The generals all looked at Wang Xiao with a curious look on their faces, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, I don't know who this big hero is?" ”

Therefore, it is impossible to be an emperor if he wants not to float.

The people around you are trying their best to figure out your mind and seize every opportunity to do what you like. All opportunities to be in the limelight are also handed over to the emperor without hesitation. Even when they don't have the opportunity, they will take the initiative to create it.

Wang Xiao, who has adhered to his heart for ten years, sighed and said, "It's the champion Hou." ”

"Oh~~~"

A group of generals who almost engraved on their heads that I am a big boss, I don't read and don't know anything, immediately suddenly, and said again and again that it turned out to be the champion Hou, and sure enough, His Majesty is still knowledgeable.

For these sand sculptures who forcibly blackened themselves, Wang Xiao didn't want to waste saliva with them, so he waved his hand to let everyone out.

Humanity, humanity, it's so speechless.

The Warat people hooked up with the three major battalions of the Ming Dynasty and kept moving towards the northwest, and Wang Xiao was also very cooperative here and kept moving forward.

After the supply line was pulled out for more than two thousand miles, those people in the capital who had already been unable to hold it down finally made a move.

A convoy carrying grain, grass, and heavy supplies was attacked by the Warat cavalry on the way out of the customs.

The convoy suffered heavy losses, and almost all the carts loaded with grain and hay were burned by the Warats.

When the news was transmitted back to Beijing, it was natural to set up a new transport team as soon as possible to transport the materials over.

But at this time, there were problems in all aspects, from the dispatch of people, the collection of vehicles, to the allocation of grain and grass, and the inventory of materials.

The relevant yamen pushed each other and kicked the ball.

This one said that I was not ready here, and the other said that the materials were on fire in the reservoir room and could not be made in a short time.

In short, it is a word, try every means to delay the time of the shipment of materials.

Cabinet Sanyang is an old fritter who has been an official for many years, and immediately sensed that something was wrong.

In the past, there were such things, but they were all single incidents. It's the first time that there are problems at all the yamen like this.

"What do you think about this?"

Cabinet Sanyang has been a cabinet scholar from the Yongle period to the Hong Xi year, and then to Wang Xiao's Xuande years. They were both princelings and now royalists. It has long been a common practice to meet and discuss in private.

With such a big move by Confucianism, it is impossible to hide it from them. Today, we gathered for a drink to discuss what to do.

"What else do you need to see?" Yang Rong took the wine glass and drank it all, and said indignantly, "This is to cut off the emperor's supply and let the more than 200,000 troops die outside the pass!" ”

The atmosphere in the wing room was a little solemn, this matter was too big.

"So what should I do?" Yang Pu's hands trembled a little. They all knew that there were many big families involved behind this incident. And on the other side is the emperor who does not tolerate sand in his eyes. This is to choose a side, and if you choose the wrong one, you will be killed!

"What is there to deal with!"

Yang Shiqi, who was full of momentum, slapped the table heavily, "We are deeply favored by the emperor, so we naturally want to repay the country with death." These rebels and thieves want to rebel, and we will fight them to the end! ”

"Well said!"

Before Yang Pu and Yang Rong could speak, there was a cheer from outside the wing.

The door was pushed open, and Yu Qian, who was supposed to follow the emperor to the outside of the plug, appeared at the door in surprise.

Yu Qian solemnly saluted the three of them, "The emperor said that all the ministers in the court and the central government may rebel, but the cabinet Sanyang will not." When I saw it today, it really lived up to its name. ”

It's all old fritters, and when Sanyang saw Yu Qian suddenly appear here, he immediately understood that the emperor had already known about this matter.

"I see." Yang Shiqi nodded in response: "Your Majesty, but you want me to catch the rebel?" ”

Yu Qian pulled a chair and sat down, and poured himself a glass of wine, "Definitely." Your Majesty told the three adults to do nothing. ”
