Chapter 327: Sell the first level at a clear price

Qin Chuan really wanted to block Azig in the Xinding Basin.

The three brothers did not suffer much loss at all after entering the customs, but robbed a lot of money all the way.

As long as the Shanhaiguan, Dashikou and Pingxingling Pass are blocked, the 20,000 horses with the white flag and the white flag will not be able to get out.

Therefore, when Huang Taiji pulled out the camp and retreated, Qin Chuan did not chase after him.

There should be nearly 20,000 soldiers with two white flags, two blue flags, and two red flags, and there must be several thousand Mongolian soldiers, with a total of 20,000 and several thousand troops, and the number of troops that Qin Chuan can dispatch is only 15,000 at most.

He only let the Zhao Wu faction follow behind at night, staring at the movements of Huang Taiji's army, and after the opponent's main force went away, he led the three thousand trapped camp and the three thousand Wudang camp out of Ning, and marched east along the Heng Mountain, wanting to occupy Dashikou and block the three Azig brothers.

At the same time, he asked Luo Da Niu and Luo Ba to lead 2,500 cavalry each, far behind Huang Taiji's main force, in order to contain each other.

However, when there were still fifty or sixty miles away from Dashikou, Tanma suddenly reported that the three brothers, Azig, Dolgon, and Duoduo, were leading the Jiannu army through Dashikou.

Moreover, the main force of the two white flags has already set up camp on the west side of Dashikou and is ready for battle, and the main force of Huang Taiji has stopped in the Yingzhou area, only about thirty or forty miles away from Dashikou, and can support Dashikou at any time.

It seems that Huang Taiji has been prepared for a long time, and I am afraid that he will not be able to help the three Azig brothers.

In desperation, Qin Chuan had to camp in place and wait and see if there was a chance when the Jiannu army withdrew from the pass.

Luo Da Niu and Luo Ba also stopped, about thirty miles away from Huang Taiji's main force.

……

Since Wu Xiang was defeated, Jiao Yuanqing, the governor of Xuanzhen, hurriedly invited Wu Xiang and You Shiwei back to Xuanzhen, while Hu Zhanen, the governor of Datong, personally retained them, wanting these two guest generals to stay and garrison Datong.

The two competed, and finally You Shiwei and Jiao Yuanqing returned to Xuanzhen and stationed in Huai'an.

Wu Xiang stayed in Datong with Hu Zhan'en and was stationed in Ulzhou.

Zhang Zongheng and Zhang Quanchang and other Xuanda Ming generals slowly gathered a large army and prepared to march to Shuozhou to rescue Shuozhou and Mayi, but as soon as they received the news of Huang Taiji's eastward retreat, everyone hurriedly retreated back to the cities where they were stationed.

The Ming army's probe horses did not dare to approach Ningwu Pass, Zhang Zongheng and others did not know that Huang Taiji had just lost troops in Ningwu Pass, but when they saw Huang Taiji suddenly retreat east and gather troops, they also guessed that he must have suffered a defeat at Ningwu Pass.

But the main force of Huang Taiji is still there, and no one dares to go out of the city at this time, after all, no one knows if Huang Taiji will suddenly turn around the peak of the army to attack the city they are stationing.

You must know that the emperor personally issued a letter, and those who fell into the city were sentenced to death.

Including Cao Wenzhao, when he learned that Dai Shan led thousands of soldiers and horses near Datong, he also closed the city gate and did not move, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry under his command was less than 2,500 people, plus the defenders in the city, the troops that could be mobilized were less than 4,000, Datong City was not only the king of the country, but also his hometown, and his Cao family's family members were all in the city.

In this way, after Huang Taiji turned the three Azig brothers, he swaggered out of the side wall of Fort Victory and withdrew from the border of the Ming Dynasty.

Qin Chuan has been following behind, but he has never found any opportunity to intercept and kill, and in desperation, he has to collect his troops and return to Ningwu Pass.

On the way, he sent people to spread the news, saying that there were more than 17,000 real slave heads in Ningwu Pass, more than 6,000 Tartar heads, 28 heads of generals above Niu Lu Zhangjing, and 22 prisoners.

These heads and captives can be sold, and the price is the same as the price when he went out to kill Jiannu the year before, the real slave head twenty taels of silver, or ten stone of grain, and the head of the Tartar five taels of silver, or two stone and five buckets of grain.

Niu Lu Zhangjing's head was two hundred taels, or one hundred stones of grain, and the price of the captives was doubled.

The head of Jialazhangjing was five hundred taels, or two hundred and fifty stone of grain, and the price of the captives was doubled.

Meljangjing, Baya Lama Zhangjing, and Kabush Xianzhangjing had a head of 1,000 taels, or 500 stone of grain, which was doubled as above.

The head of Gushan is 2,000 taels, the grain is 1,000 stones, and the captives are also doubled. 110 Literature

As soon as the news came out, the governors, magistrates, and generals of Xuanda and Da were in an uproar.

The news that Qin Chuan broke the Jiannu in Mayi and Shanyin County and killed countless enemies had already spread all over Xuanda, and those officials and generals thought that he had won at least tens of thousands of victories, which was amazing enough, after all, since the old slave rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has never won such a big victory.

Unexpectedly, his gains were more than this, but more than doubled.

You must know that although Jiannu is known as a 100,000 army when he entered the customs this time, there are many clothed slaves among them, plus the Mongolian tribes, the total strength is only less than 60,000, and Qin Chuan actually killed more than 30% of the opponent's troops, which is really amazing.

Behind the discussion, those officials and generals also secretly raised silver and food, ready to buy heads and prisoners.

Especially those officials and generals who have lost their states, counties or military forts, urgently need a group of heads to save their black yarn hats, and even save their lives.

Others who did not lose the city came for their exploits.

However, they all know that there is a risk in buying the head, because Qin Chuan won a big victory, and the news of taking the initiative to sell the head will definitely not be hidden, and it will not be long before it will definitely spread throughout the capital, and the emperor and the ministers of the court will naturally know about it.

Therefore, you can't buy too much for the first level, only buy a few hundred or even dozens of levels, and lie about small-scale battles or small victories, and you must not be greedy for merit, otherwise those combat exploits will become guillotines.

And those generals and prisoners can't buy them, because the living can speak, and when they get to the military headquarters, if the prisoners' confessions are far from their own good news, it's over.

Cao Wenzhao was the first to receive the news, Qin Chuan had a friendship with him, and also knew that after Jiannu entered the customs in this year in history, Cao Wenzhao was dismissed and sent to the army.

Therefore, Qin Chuan wanted to help him, and even gave him a seven-fold discount, wanting to see if the real Cao Wenzhao would buy the first rank and lie about his military merits.

The moment he received the news, Cao Wenzhao couldn't help but smile dumbly, and his heart was both admiring and complicated.

What I admire is that Qin Chuan was able to kill so many heads with his own strength, and even the generals above Niu Lu Zhangjing killed or captured as many as fifty people.

What's complicated is that he didn't send troops at the right time, and cooperated with Qin Chuan to attack from both sides and completely defeat Jiannu.

"Uncle, should we buy some heads? After all, many fortresses around Yingzhou and Datong have fallen, and the emperor will definitely ask you for the crime, but if you can buy the head, you will be able to make up for it. ”

was in a complicated mood, Cao Bianjiao on the side suddenly spoke.

Cao Wenzhao shook his head: "No, I can't buy it, it's for the future of you and the Cao family." ”

"As we all know, Qin Chuan is strict in governing the army and attaches great importance to military regulations and laws, if I buy the first rank, I will fall behind in his eyes, and when you go to serve him, I am afraid that he will see it clearly."

"Uncle, but if you don't have military exploits, the emperor will ask for guilt......"

"Don't worry, Datong and Shuozhou have not fallen, the emperor will not kill me, at most it will be used as an army to defend the border."

"But ......"

"Don't say it, we can't buy this batch of heads, not only that, after passing to Qin Chuan's side, you and your subordinates must change their temperament and style, and they must absolutely obey orders."

"Uncle...... Be! ”

……

Xuanda border, Huang Taiji.

When he returned to the Xinghe area, Huang Taiji summoned all the generals and ministers to the Khan tent, and announced in public that he was going to establish the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han Army, and he would quickly fill the army.

No one objected to the military generals in the sweat tent, and they should indeed expand their army.

In this way, with the support of many ministers and generals, Huang Taiji began to prepare for the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Second Banner of the Han Dynasty, one year faster than the time in history.
