Chapter 340: Zhu Youzhen's counterattack plan

At the old site of Naturalization City, Yue Zhen listened to the news from the various tribes of Tumut, and his face became more and more ugly.

When he was still in Datong, Yue Zhi's red flag was crippled by Qin Chuan, fortunately, on the way back, Huang Taiji suddenly ordered him to go to Guihua City, temporarily take charge of the Tumut Department and the Ordos Department, and incorporate the Chahar remnants who fled back to Hetao from Qinghai, looking for Lin Dan Khan's eldest son Ezhe and the Eight Great Fujin.

He thought that he could take this opportunity to absorb some of the remaining Chahar troops and replenish the bannermen with red flags, but he didn't expect that Qin Chuan would go north to the Qingshui River to build a military fort and attack the Tumut tribes everywhere, completely disrupting his plan.

The rest of the Chahar confiscated a few, and there was no news of Ezhe and the Eight Great Fujin, but several tribes of Tumut were raided by the Guan Emperor army, losing a large number of people, cattle, sheep and horses.

Now, Emperor Guan's army is divided into two routes, coming towards Guihua City, no more than two days at the latest, and it is likely that it will take less than a day at the earliest, and the troops will come to the city.

Yue Zhi did not make an inch, but as soon as he came, he had to face the Guan Emperor army and a war with no chance of winning.

He had just suffered the loss of Emperor Guan's army, and of course he didn't dare to resist head-on.

What's more, there are only more than 2,000 Red Banner soldiers under his command, and even if you add the troops of the Tumut Division, the total strength is less than 10,000.

These 10,000 soldiers and horses could not stop the Guan Emperor army, whose firearms were extremely sharp.

Therefore, there is only one way in front of Yue Zhen!

"Lord Belle, quickly give the order to retreat, it will be too late." Ombu Chuhuer on the side urged anxiously.

"Yes, Lord Belle, let's go quickly."

"Emperor Guan's army has arrived in Yunchuan, it is not far from here, Lord Belle, quickly order to retreat, avoid its edge first, and when the reinforcements of the Great Khan arrive, it is not too late to fight back and scatter the bones of the man surnamed Qin."

The various Tumut tribes in the big tent also spoke out one after another.

Yue Zhen secretly sighed, said "retreat", and then waved his hand downward.

Yue Zhen knew that Qin Chuan's target was the Hetao region, and after giving up this fertile land, it would be difficult to fight it back.

Qin Chuan will build those impregnable military forts all the way to Naturalization City.

Unless Huang Taiji transfers all the elites of the Dajin Kingdom and fights with Qin Chuan endlessly, it is possible to win it back.

But this is impossible, it is impossible for Huang Taiji to let the elite of the Dajin Kingdom be consumed in an insignificant reservoir, and then be picked up by the Ming Dynasty.

The greatest possibility is to negotiate peace.

Negotiate peace with Qin Chuan, let him fight with Daming first, and Dajin Guo will pick up the cheap behind his back.

It's just that if you want to negotiate peace with Qin Chuan, it's not easy to talk about.

……

In the early morning of the second day after Yue Zhi's withdrawal, Luo Daniu, Bobcat and others stood on the head of the simple city of Guihua City, overlooking a large amount of fertile land to the south and west.

"The three masters, let's chase after it." The lynx on the side licked her lips, her face glowing.

Luo Daniu shook his head: "No, when I set out on the expedition, the big boss repeatedly told me that the poor should not chase, and do not fight, as long as the Tumut Department is driven out of the Qiantao area." ”

The lynx licked her lips again and sighed helplessly.

So far, they have attacked four Tumut tribes, killed more than 3,000 enemies, captured more than 9,000 people, captured more than 3,800 Mongolian cattle, 25,000 sheep, more than 800 pairs of armor, nearly 10,000 horsemen, nearly 10,000 horned bows and various weapons, more than 1,000 tents, more than 4,000 furs, and a small amount of grain and cloth.

All these seizures were sent to the Biaotou Pass, including the more than 9,000 people, and they were also sent back to Shanxi, so that the people of the household administration department could be temporarily resettled, and when Qinchuan completely occupied the Hetao area, they would be sent back to the Hetao to continue half-farming and half-grazing.

After demolishing everything that could be removed from the Naturalization City, Luo Daniu and Lynx led their subordinates to leave the Naturalization City and return to the Qingshui River.

……

Daming Jingshi, Forbidden City.

This time, the questioning and reward for Jiannu's entry into the customs have basically ended, and there are very few officials and generals who have been rewarded, but there are countless people who have been questioned.

In front of Zhu Youzhen, there is another problem.

Qin Chuan, should he be rewarded or not.

When the more than 10,000 heads were sent to the capital and piled up on mule and horse carts to swagger through the city, the entire Beijing division was in a sensation.

People rushed to tell each other and asked each other who had brought these heads to them.

Soon they asked, these heads were presented by Qin Chuan, the rebel Shanxi guerrilla general.

It is said that he captured not only these more than 10,000 heads, but more than 23,000 ranks, and also captured many Jiannu generals.

After the news spread, the whole Jingshi was more sensational than before, the streets and alleys, restaurants and tea shops were everywhere to talk about it, and the storyteller was busy making up stories, describing the battles of Datong as thrilling and tragic.

At a time when Xuanda and Xuanda were in a state of devastation, Qin Chuan was able to recreate slaves with his own strength and win so many heads, which was even more exciting.

The higher the cheers in the city, the deeper Zhu Youzhen's brows in the Forbidden City wrinkled.

Of course he didn't want to reward Qin Chuan, he was a rebel and a thief, and sooner or later he would have to rebel.

However, it can't be said if you don't reward it, after all, it is more than 10,000 heads.

Unless he tears his face with Qin Chuan again and directly sends troops to attack the other party.

For this matter, Zhu Youzhen has convened many officials from the cabinet, the military department, and the official department to discuss it for a long time.

In the end, Zhu Youzhen drafted a large number of holy decrees, named Qin Chuan as the captain of Shangqingche, crowned General Zhaoyong, promoted the commander of the border army, and ordered him to go north to defeat the Mongol tribes of Houjin after returning to Shun.

The reason why he was asked to fight the Mongolian tribes was to play a dog-eat-dog trick, let him fight with Huang Taiji, and sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

In addition, Zhu Youzhen also rewarded Qin Chuan's subordinates in a big way, and even made Luo Daniu, Li Dingliang and Liu Youzhu all lieutenants of Shangqingche, and General Zhaoyong was promoted to the general of the border army.

Like Qin Chuan, these three people are all third-rank generals.

Even Li Baba, He Qizheng, Qin Boyang, Zhao Lishan and others, who had just returned to Qinchuan, were all named military generals from the third rank and promoted to deputy commander-in-chief.

After this large number of holy decrees were drafted, Zhu Youzhen immediately sent people to Lou Fu and sent them to Qin Chuan and many rewarded generals.

But just two or three days after the holy decree was sent, Zhu Youzhen received a piece of military information: more than 10,000 imperial troops from Qinchuan went north out of the fortress and were stationed in the area of the Qingshui River.

As soon as this military information arrived, Zhu Youzhen's face was a little embarrassed, because before his holy decree arrived, Qin Chuan had already gone out of the customs to fight the Tartars.

However, the embarrassment is happy, because Qin Chuan's exit to fight the Tartars means that his strategic goals have shifted to Mongolia and Huang Taiji, and there will be a dog-eat-dog show.

Zhu Youzhen, who was very happy, immediately summoned Wen Tiren and several other cabinet ministers, and Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and others to discuss matters in the Hongde Palace.

In that year, there were several secret decrees out of Beijing and went straight to Shanxi and Shaanxi.
