Chapter 072: Dare to ask where the road is

Do you want to go? This is the most immediate question now before Tumen Khan.

If you don't go, after the other party closes a few ways, you can't go, it's a bit difficult to say.

Yes, he is the Great Khan of Mongolia, for the Mongols, they should come and go freely on the steppe, and they are like the wind, but the problem is that the main cavalry of the other side is also Mongols, and Hannaji is poured out of the nest, plus Tokhtar is based on the Great Khan's Escort Army of the former Altan Khan as the core, and the two troops and horses add up to only a lot more than their own troops.

And now, we have to add more than 10,000 cavalry of the original Ma Fang Department of the Ming Army and the remnants of Xin Ai - there is no doubt that when Xin Ai himself was there, they naturally obeyed Xin Ai's orders, but when Xin Ai himself was captured, they would not give Xin Ai a martyr.

It's hard to say whether the other party's Great Ming Qin envoy can directly mobilize the remnants of Xin Ai, but Zhongjin Hatun, the regent Hatun, must have enough legitimacy to order them, and Han Naji, the great Cheng Taiji of the Golden Family, also has a noble enough identity to command them.

If you add the Ming infantry and the pragmatic cavalry, the opposing coalition army has already rushed to 100,000, which is almost twice the current strength of Tumen - he was originally an army of 60,000, he lost some in Shacheng, and some more in today's battle with Chataiji, plus the 5,000 cavalry on the back road, which is basically no longer available, is now almost 50,000 horses.

Moreover, after losing the cattle and sheep on the back road, the logistics of his 50,000-strong army were already in jeopardy, and he had to plan ahead of time whether he was fighting or leaving.

Fortunately, it is the beginning of spring, if it is three or four months earlier, the weather is cold outside, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to run.

Tumen Khan only felt a cool air rush up his back, making him feel cold all over his body.

At this time, there was also a big question in front of Buzhihatu: Echige was captured, should he continue to follow Tumen Khan?

You must know that the original relationship between Tumut and the Chahar tribe of Tumen was not a close relationship of brotherhood and brotherhood - Alta is two generations higher than Tumen, and it is theoretically considered that Hannaji is the same generation of Tumen, so Buzhihatu and Tumen Khan can also be commensurate with brothers.

And Tumut, as the biggest challenger to the throne of the Great Khan, is a thorn in the side of Tumen, otherwise what would he do? Originally, I was going to subdue Tumut.

And Xin Ai himself doesn't really believe that Tumen treats him as an uncle, he just wants to use Tumen's power to regain the throne of Tumut Chechen Khan, and in his opinion, he intends to pay for benefits, this is just a transaction.

Now that Xin Ai has been captured, and the Xin Ai Ministry has completely fallen under the control of Hannaji, or the Explanation of the People, there is practically no one in the entire Tumut who can prevent Hannaji from ascending to the throne.

At this moment, if Buzhhatu defects to Tumen, it is equivalent to giving up all his noble status in Tumut, but defecting to the hostile side, and whether Buzhhatu, who has lost everything, can be valued in the Tumen camp, I am afraid it is difficult to say, after all, Mongolia is not a Ming Dynasty, and relying on "talent" alone is not enough to stabilize its position, because Mongolians believe in fists more.

But the question is, if you don't cast the pictures, will you go back and dedicate your head to Hannaji?

Although judging from past performance, Hannaji, a supporter of Han culture, does not seem to be a bloodthirsty person, but competing for the throne of the Great Khan is nothing more than anything else, who knows if Hannaji will consider cutting the grass and eradicating the roots?

Chopping grass and eradicating roots, this is a very common thing in Mongolia, and you can find that it is written everywhere that the grass is cut and eradicated!

However, according to his previous analysis, if Echige is defeated, the Xin Ai Department should be assigned to Chung Kim Hatun - to be exact, Chung Kim Hatun's son Butashri, if so, it seems that there is no need to cut down the grass and root out the roots of Echige and even his own brothers.

Because, if you keep your own people, Butashri will throw a rat trap.

Buzhhatu's eyes rolled, and it was difficult to decide for a while.

At this time, Tumen suddenly asked, "Buzhihatu, are you going to find your Abu?" ”

Buzhhatu was very vigilant, shook his head decisively, and said: "I have no possibility of reconciliation with Hannaji, he will definitely give all my tribe to Zhongjin Hatun, what is the use of me going back, can he still give me back my part?" Instead of being a captive, it is better to be free to be a prairie prodigal. ”

Seeing that he didn't want to think about it, Tumen opened his mouth, but as if he was telling the truth, he laughed and said: "You are the bloodline of the Golden Family, how can you be a prodigal son of the grassland!" Let's go with Ben Khan, you are still Taiji, the affairs of the tribe and the people, and when you return to Chahanhot with Ben Khan, Ben Khan will give it to you - Chang Ang is a waste, he was beaten by Qi Jiguang with some infantry, he is a Yan Wei, I think it is better for you to master. ”

Burihatu's heart moved, and he said secretly: Take Changang and replace me? Well...... It's a good idea, but I don't know how sincere the figures are. But then again, it's a good move.

Changang Na refused to fight hard with Qi Jiguang, the reason is obvious, but it is also a fact that he is afraid of the enemy like a tiger, and Tumen, as a great khan, has every reason to deal with him. And I changed to master one of the three guards of Duoyan, which is also a good thing for the Tumen, after all, after the battle of Tumut, if I go with him again, it will become a mortal enemy with Daming and even Tumut, I will master the Changang Department, and the southern line of the Tumen will have a buffer, not to mention peace of mind, but at least one more barrier that can be assured.

But after this battle, the loss is not small, and the blow to prestige is even greater, whether he can take Changang at that time, this seems to be a little uncertain, what if he can't take Changang, wouldn't I be a bamboo basket for nothing?

However, if I really go with him, with my design, it doesn't seem impossible to take Changang......

Buzhhatu thought about these things in his head, but the answer on his lips was very fast: "Thank you Great Khan for your attention, Buzhhatu is grateful." May I die for the Great Khan. ”

It's hard to say whether he really wants to die for the Great Khan, but he is a smart man, and he fully understands that if he doesn't say this now, he is afraid that he will die soon to show Tumen.

Seeing that he answered decisively, Tumen was even more happy, believing that he was really willing to join his command, and at the moment it was another promise, and Buzhihatu responded one by one, with great gratitude on his face, and he looked like he could block the gun for Da Khan at any time.

The two of them talked hypocritically for a while, in the end, the military situation was urgent, and Tumen had to turn the topic back: "So, do you think we should continue to make up our minds to defeat Totok now, or quickly withdraw the army and return to the east?" ”

Burihatu pouted in his heart and said secretly: You have already hinted that you want to go back and clean up Changang first, and you still ask me what I am doing with all this nonsense?

But thinking about it, he cooperated with him: "The Han people have clouds, and the son of a daughter can't sit down, and now Han Naji is bent on going his own way, completely surrendering to the Ming people, and the Ming and Mongolian armies are surrounded by several roads...... Although the Great Khan's troops were heroic, in order to preserve the national strength of our Great Mongolia and to clean up the chaos of the Duoyan Department again, the minister thought that it would be better to withdraw his troops for the time being. ”

"This is a great good, Ben Khan will temporarily withdraw from the army according to your plan."

Buzhhatu bowed slightly in thanks, and while bowing his head, he sneered in his heart: In my opinion?

However, now that time was tight, Tumen Khan did not have time to observe carefully, and immediately gathered his men and horses to prepare for evacuation. And Burihatu found a reason to come out, went straight to Tarik's account, and told his brother the latest situation...... And see what he plans to do.

After Talik learned the news, everyone was stupid, and after a long while, he said silently: "I will also go with the Great Khan, as long as the Great Khan has not given up his position as the Mongolian co-ruler, my 'ruling party' must be able to continue to do it, although there is nothing, it is better than returning to Huacheng to offer the head." ”

Burihatu sighed and did not persuade anything.
