Immortal deeds?

Defeating the Tumen alone may not be considered an immortal achievement, and the Mongols' habitual special attribute of "small defeat is gone" makes defeating it not make much sense.

In Gao Pragmatism's view, only words such as heavy damage and total annihilation can be regarded as real defeat.

But it's hard.

He deliberately arranged the place where the war broke out in Shacheng, and it was true that he had such an idea, but he was not good at tactics, and it was difficult to judge whether the development of the war situation would follow his train of thought.

It is a good tactic to lure the enemy deep into the self, but whether the other party is willing to go deep or not is the key to the problem.

In fact, there was a debate in the Tumen army about the pursuit.

Two hundred miles on the steppe, for the cavalry, it was only two days to break the sky, and the Tumen were really excited when they first "defeated" Hannaji, and they didn't think much about it, so they chased after them with the army.

But after a day of chasing, Tumen was stopped by Buzhhatu.

Buzhihatu was established less than this year, and he was considered a young Taiji who was about the same as Hannaji, and if it was in the past, he would not have put it in the heart of the Great Khan of Tumen at all.

After all, after Dayan Khan abolished the positions of Taishi and Prime Minister, the whole Mongolia was full of Taiji, although Taiji also had high and inferior, but how could Taiji, who was not a descendant or a long-term Taiji, be able to enter the eyes of the Great Khan?

However, after the last meeting, the Great Khan of Tumen realized that Buzhhatu was extraordinary, at least this person was not like most Mongol generals who only saw fighting and robbing, he would think about the problem from the perspective of the overall situation.

This level is really valuable in the current Mongolia, if it were not for the ancestral system, the Great Khan of Tumen even felt that Buzhihatu was "the talent of the prime minister".

After camping at night, Burihatu hurriedly came to the Tumen and expressed his worries.

After Buzhihatu stepped forward to salute, he went directly to the topic, and said: "Great Khan, the minister feels that the movement of Hannaji and Tokhtar is wrong, and now that they think about their defeat yesterday, they seem to have some doubts, and the minister asks the Great Khan to be cautious." ”

Tumen laughed and said, "Is this what the Han people say about heroes?" Ben Khan also noticed that something was not quite right...... You sit down and speak slowly. ”

"Thank you, Great Khan." Burihatu bowed and sat down respectfully.

The performance of such rules made the Tumen Khan very satisfied, and now the Mongols, especially the Mongolian Taiji, there are not many people who understand the rules like Burihatu.

Tumen Khan said with a pleasant face: "Buri Ha Tu Taiji, you are one of the few young talents in our Mongolia, if you have any ideas, just say it directly, Ben Khan will definitely consider your suggestion carefully." ”

Burihatu thanked him again, and then said with a worried face: "Yesterday, Hannaji and Tokhtar fled south after a small loss, and at first the minister didn't think there was anything wrong, and when the Great Khan decided to pursue, the minister also felt that there was no problem, but after chasing, the minister found some problems. ”

The Great Khan of Tumen did not interrupt, but just nodded "um" and motioned for Burihatu to continue.

"First of all, they fled at the wrong speed. ”

This was a little unexpected for the figures, because he didn't notice anything wrong with the other party's speed at first, and couldn't help but ask: "The speed is wrong?" ”

"Exactly." Buzhihatu said calmly: "We have traveled thousands of miles from Chahanhot to Tumut, and they have repaired in the same place after defeating my Abu before...... Even if they were not strong enough to confront the Great Khan's army, and therefore suffered a slight defeat, why did they not flee quickly? In terms of horsepower, our war horses at the moment are much more tired than their war horses, but when they take the road and flee, they can't get rid of us at all, why is this? ”

Tumen didn't mind that he didn't deliberately look up at the Chahar Division, thinking that the other party's cavalry was inferior to himself, so it was normal for him to not be able to run, but he admired Buzhihatu's pragmatic attitude - the Tumen themselves did not underestimate the strength of the Tumut Division, otherwise, when Altan suppressed Mongolia, why didn't the Chahar Division, as the headquarters of the Great Khan, jump out to fight back?

"You're very observant." Tumen nodded and said, "So you think they deliberately ran so unfast and not slow?" Or Ben Khan put it more bluntly: do you think they are deliberately luring us into the bait? ”

Buzhihatu first observed the expression of the Great Khan of Tumen, and saw that he showed no signs of anger, so he nodded and said, "The minister does have such suspicions. ”

Tumen Khan frowned and asked, "Do you have any proof?" ”

As the Great Khan and the chief decision-maker of this expedition, of course he can't be rash, what if the other party really only has this speed? If the suspicious ghost misses the fighter, won't he be ridiculed by future generations?

"There is no direct evidence from the ministers, but if the Great Khan only says that it is corroborated, then there may be a little bit of it." ”

Tumen Khan nodded and said, "Okay, let's hear it." ”

Burihatu then spoke: "First of all, during the first battle yesterday, the opponent's strength was not right. ”

"Oh? What's wrong? Tumen Khan frowned slightly.

"According to I, Abu, when he was attacked by Hannaji and Tokhtok that day, although only two of them actually went out, other tribes followed."

"Who else?"

Buzhihatu looked cautious and said: "In addition to the Tokhtar Division, there are other cavalry in the rear with the banner of the Great Khan's Guard, some of which are very miscellaneous, because they are far away, I Abu can't see it clearly, but the other one he sees clearly, it is the banner of the regent Hatun." ”

Regent Harton? Then there is no one else but Chung Kim Hatun, and it seems that she has already made it clear to the ministries that she is temporarily regent—of course, this is the proper meaning of the title, and it is not surprising.

However, Zhong Jin Hatun's soldiers and horses appeared together with Hannaji and Tokhtar, which was very serious for him, and it was one of the "worst situations" that Tumen and others knew about.

Jong Kim Hatun did not remain neutral, but directly sided with Hannaji.

In other words, there is a good chance that the plenipotentiary envoy of the Ming people intervened in this matter, either threatening or coercing to pull Jong Kim Hatun onto the thief ship of Hannaji. The opponents that Tumen Khan and Xin Ai Huang Taiji are facing now can basically be regarded as the entire Tumut except for Xin Ai's department.

Although he had such a bad plan for a long time, but after the facts were in front of him, Tumen Khan couldn't help but secretly curse in his heart for his incompetence, you are a dignified Tumut Huang Taiji, and you have not been able to win over a few allies for decades, are you a fool?

At this time, Tumen Khan subconsciously ignored that the huge interests of the mutual market were the fundamental reason for Hannaji's "righteous and unhelpful" and Xin's love of Huang Taiji's "unrighteous and unjust", not just a matter of prestige and means.

But now it is useless to scold Xin Ai for being incompetent, in fact, Xin Ai can still bring out more than 10,000 subordinates when he is attacked by superior cavalry, which is already a very good performance in itself.

The Great Khan of Tumen forced himself to take matters into account, and was silent for a moment before saying: "In yesterday's battle, only the 6,000 men in the hands of Hannaji's western outpost headquarters and Tokhto, and the whole army was only half of us. If what you say is true, then the opponent's strength is indeed wrong. ”

Neither arrogant nor cowardly, but calmly said: "In addition to the wrong troops, the performance of Hannaji and Tokhtar yesterday is also very questionable. ”

If Tumen's suspicion of the war situation is mainly due to the subconscious suspicion of a relatively cautious person after the battle is too smooth, then Burihatu's suspicion is really analyzed with his mind.

Tumen couldn't help but pay attention and immediately asked, "What's wrong with their performance?" ”

"Toto's performance was too positive, and Hannaji's performance was too slow." Burihatu replied.

Tumen didn't agree with this statement, and frowned: "Totoku is a rare general, what's wrong with being active?" And Hannaji has never fought any battles, and it is reasonable that the command is dull and slow. ”

Tumen Khan and Buri Hatu Taiji are both the bloodlines of the Golden Family and the descendants of Dayan Khan, so there is no need to brag about the deceptive nonsense that the Golden Family's Hannaji is naturally very awesome.

"Otherwise, Great Khan, the minister is not referring to the level of command of both of them, but to the ......" Buzhihatu hesitated for a moment before choosing a good word, adding: "It's the attitude." ”

"Attitude? What attitude? "Tumen Khan didn't understand.

Burihatu frowned and said: "It stands to reason that if Hannaji can defeat the Great Khan, then no one will be able to shake his position as Tumut Chechen Khan, so his attitude towards this battle should never have any negativity, not to mention taking the initiative to fight, at least he should go all out to meet the battle, but what was his move yesterday?" Do you remember the Great Khan? ”

Tumen thought for a moment and said: "He did not move, and when he exhausted all means, he could not help Ben Khan, and after he was almost surrounded by Ben Khan's guards, he was frightened and took the initiative to start retreating. ”

"That's right, here's the problem!" Burihatu's eyes flashed, and he said solemnly: "There must be something wrong with Hannaji's reaction!" On that day, my Abu was attacked, and although he was also the vanguard at that time, I followed Hannaji very quickly, and I did not see that he had any negative intentions. So why did he suddenly passively avoid the war yesterday? Even if he didn't say that he avoided the war, at least he retreated too simply, could it be that he, the 'Chechen Khan', planned to rely on the support of the 6,000 soldiers? Is his own army of 40,000 in the western outpost all decorations? ”

As soon as Burihatu said this, Tumen Khan understood - yes, it is to make Hannaji to be Chechen Khan, not to Tokhkh to be Chechen Khan, what is the use of Tokhtar being so active?

No matter how active he is, this Great Khan's position will not be his turn, and now he can't be a master or prime minister, he can't get much benefit at all, why be so active?
