Chapter 20 Poor Drinking Horse Riverside Bone 3
The army marched from Juyong Pass all the way to the north, and came to Kaipingwei, where they found that Timur's headquarters had been withdrawn, and there was not a single soldier in the city.
Qiu Fu asked the local Han people to inquire about the situation, and the people said that the Great Khan learned of the Ming army's northern expedition and led his tribe to retreat north in a hurry, leaving behind a lot of property.
Qiufu sent people to check and found that the Mongols had left behind a lot of tents, Lele carts, and even some armor and grain.
When Qiu Fu heard the news, he said to the generals: "When the Tatar troops heard that our army was coming, they fled north in a panic, and they dragged their families with their mouths, and they will definitely not go far. ”
Wang Cong, the Marquis of Wucheng, the deputy general of the left, advised: "The enemy army has abandoned so many burdens and fled north without a fight, I am afraid it is not a plan to lure the enemy." ”
The right deputy general Tong Anhou Huozhen said: "We Mongolians regard Lele Che as our life and will not throw it away easily. This time, the Timurid people lost so much, I think they are really afraid. ”
Qiu Fu nodded and said, "What Anhou said is extremely true, so I decided to personally lead more than a thousand elite horsemen to chase after the chieftain, and the rest will follow." ”
With that, he glanced at the generals and asked, "Who wants to go with me?" ”
Huo Zhen said: "The last general is willing to go, fuck him." Another fishing victory, famous in history. ”
The rest of the generals did not dare to lag behind, and they all said: "The last general is willing to go." ”
So Qiu Fu led more than 1,000 elite horsemen and horses to chase northward, and the rest of the brigade followed closely behind, two or three days away.
Along the way, there were discarded household supplies, sometimes hundreds of cattle and sheep, and a few shepherds.
Qiu Fu arrested them and questioned them, and they all said that the Khan had led his people to flee in the direction of the fishing sea.
Qiu Fu was overjoyed, his clothes did not take off his armor, his horse did not get off the saddle, and he led the vanguard to chase down.
After chasing for more than a month, Qiu Fu and others chased to the south of the Yuqu River and encountered a small group of Mongolian Tatar rangers. Qiu Fu led his troops forward and defeated them in one fell swoop.
There was a leader in it, seeing that the situation was not good, and fled to the north of the Yuqu River.
The Yuqu River, also known as the Yinma River, originates from the Kent Khan Mountain in Mongolia, meanders all the way to the east, and finally flows into Hulun Lake, with a total length of more than 2,000 miles. It was August, the flood irrigated, the river was dozens of zhang wide, and the water was more than one zhang deep.
Qiu Fu was about to chase after the fleeing enemy, and the right staff general Jing'an Hou Wang Zhong advised: "Qi Guogong, the river here is wide and deep, if there is an ambush, it will be difficult for our army to retreat." ”
Qiu Fu looked at Wang Zhong and knew that he and Li Yuan were both generals in Ulzhou, and said quite contemptuously: "If Jing'an Hou does not dare to pursue the enemy, stay on the north shore and wait for good news." ”
Wang Zhongdeng's face turned red, and he said angrily: "The last general wishes that only the Qiu Gongma will be the first, and there will be no retreat." ”
Qiu Fu nodded, urged the war horse, swam across the Luqu River, boarded the north bank, chased out Wuli, and after some hard fighting, finally chased the leader.
Under the first trial, Qiu Fu found that the leader turned out to be a Mongolian scholar, with a very high position, and his name was Taiping.
At that moment, if he had obtained a treasure, he ordered someone to prepare wine and food for Taiping, so that he could feast on it.
After Tai Ping ate and drank to his heart's content, he wiped his mouth and stretched his neck and said, "Come on, Nanban, let's do it, I'm ready." ”
When Qiu Fu heard this, he laughed and said, "What kind of hands? I respect you as a man, and I won't kill you. ”
As soon as Taiping heard this, he stood up, thanked Qiu Fu, and turned to leave.
Wang Cong said coldly on the side: "You man doesn't know anything, we spare your life, and give you wine and food, you just left without saying a word, don't you feel ashamed?" ”
That Taiping turned around and came back, stretched his head out again, and said: "If you want to kill or chop, whatever you want, if you let me tell me the whereabouts of the Great Khan, you don't think about it." ”
Qiu Fu smiled slightly and said, "If you don't say it, we also know that your Great Khan is nearby, otherwise we wouldn't have sent you out to patrol." I will send scouts on all sides, and it will not be an hour before I can find out the whereabouts of your Great Khan. ”
When Taiping heard this, he was silent, and seemed to have acquiesced to Qiu Fu's words.
Qiu Fu continued to ask: "Taiping, I see that you are nearly thirty years old, and you must have married a wife and had children. ”
Taepyeong nodded.
Qiu Fu said: "We have detected the location of your royal court, and we will definitely send troops to attack." I am the vanguard force, there are 100,000 troops behind me, and when your battalion is attacked, it will definitely be burned, and your family is estimated to be immune. I see you as a man, so I don't want to kill you. Do good deeds to the end, send the Buddha to the west, if you show us the way, we will spare your family. What do you think? ”
Taiping pondered for a long time, and finally made up his mind: "When the Great Khan of my family heard that the Ming army was coming, he knew that it was difficult to resist, and he was afraid to go north, and now they are camped thirty miles away from here. I would like to wait for you to go, and hope that the general will spare my family. ”
Qiu Fu was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately summoned all the generals and said: "Timur is camped thirty miles away from here, and our army should take advantage of his unpreparedness and gallop to capture him." ”
Wang Cong said: "Qi Guogong, I think that since we know where the finished Timur is, we might as well order the rear army to advance quickly, wait for the armies to converge, and reconnoiter the enemy's reality before advancing." ”
Qiu Fu waved his hand and said: "The opportunity must not be lost, when the rear army arrives, the enemy will flee far away, and the work will be fruitless." ”
At this time, Li Yuan couldn't bear it anymore and admonished: "Qi Guogong, don't trust that Taiping, maybe he is a spy and lure me in." I come alone, it will be unfavorable to enter, if I form a camp and consolidate myself, raise my flag and drum during the day, and challenge it with surprise soldiers; At night, they will fire more torches and cannons, bluffing the army's momentum, and making the enemy unpredictable about the reality of our army. When the rear army is completed and attacked with all its might, it will be a great victory. If the enemy does not dare to fight, I can return with all my division. ”
When Qiu Fu heard this, he was angry and shouted: "I led my army into the enemy's territory for 3,000 miles, and I returned with nothing, so what face did I have to see Your Majesty." ”
Li Yuan saw that he was talking about Emperor Yongle, so he took the opportunity to persuade him: "Duke Qi Guo, when the army is leaving, how did the emperor talk to the general, has the general forgotten?" After the army arrived north of Kaiping, even if there was no trace of Kou, it was advisable to be on guard at all times, as if facing a great enemy, the camera should be advanced and stopped, and not stubborn. If the enemy fails to win in one fell swoop, you can withdraw your troops for the time being, and Xu Tu will raise it again, not recklessly. "Three-two
Qiu Fu saw that he was using Emperor Yongle to suppress himself, and he was even more furious, and shouted: "Your Majesty's words, this duke dare not forget for a moment." But you have to remember that I am the general of the conquest, and whoever dares to disobey the order will be killed. ”
With that, he jumped on his horse in a rage, galloped first, and then ordered his soldiers to follow. The generals had no choice but to follow the advance, and everyone knew that there was a lot of luck in this place, and they all shook their heads and wept.
Qiu Fu ordered Taiping to be the guide, galloping all the way to the north, and after a while he arrived at the foot of a mountain, only to see countless camp tents set up on the endless grassland in front of him, dotted with fields, and there were Mongolian people herding horses and sheep outside the camp, leisurely, not knowing that danger was coming.
Qiu Fu drew his saber and shouted, "Rush! "He took the lead and rushed towards the enemy camp.
Behind him, more than a thousand Ming cavalry also drew their swords in their hands, and rushed over with a shout.
When the shepherds outside the tent saw this, they immediately scattered and fled.
Qiu Fu and others rushed into the enemy camp, only to find that this was an empty camp, and then went to look for Nataiping, but it had long disappeared.
Qiu Fu secretly screamed that it was not good, he was fooled, and he hurriedly retreated.
Suddenly, there were artillery trumpets all around, ambushes rose in all directions, and countless Mongolian cavalry poured in from all directions, and arrows rained down.
Li Yuan said to Qiu Fu: "Qi Guogong, I will lead five hundred horsemen to meet the enemy, and you will lead the rest of the men and horses to break through to the south." ”
Qiu Fu was moved: "Anping Hou, I regret not listening to your words and insisting on going my own way, so that after I break through, I will gather a large team of people to rescue you again." ”
Li Yuan said: "Qi Guogong, you are the commander of the first army, as long as you can escape with your life, there is still room for redemption in this battle." ”
Wang Cong said on the side: "Anping Hou, I'm here to help you." ”
Li Yuan nodded, so Li Yuan and Wang Cong led five hundred elite horsemen to rush towards the Mongolian army brigade in the rain of arrows.
Before he could reach the battle, Wang Cong was hit by an arrow and fell to the ground.
Li Yuan rushed into the enemy formation with hundreds of Ming troops, and fought with the Mongolian army, the two sides fought viciously for two hours, and in the evening, the Ming army killed hundreds of enemy soldiers, and there was not much left of themselves.
Li Yuan saw a person in the distance who looked like that Shangshu Taiping, so he slapped his horse and danced his knife and rushed forward, shouting: "Thief, take your life." ”
That Taiping didn't parry, and fled.
Li Yuan hated him for playing tricks, and chased after him. Suddenly, a tripwire popped up in front of him, and Li Yuan's horse was extremely tired at the moment, and he couldn't dodge it, and he tripped and fell to the ground with a thud.
Li Yuan also fell off his horse.
The Tai Ping circled back to the horse, looked at him with a smile and said, "General Li, if that Qiu Fuken listens to you, why is this so." ”
Li Yuan scolded him, and was about to get up, when the Mongolian soldiers next to him rushed forward and tied him up.
Qiu Fu led the rest of the men and horses to break through to the south, and after a burst of killing, only he rushed out alone.
It was getting late, and Qiu Fu was heading south, when suddenly a group of men rushed out in front of him and blocked the way.
Under the light of the fire, the first person, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, shouted to him: "Qiu Fu, do you still recognize me?" ”
Qiu Fu looked at it carefully, and felt that this person was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
The man sneered and said: "Back then, outside Huailai City, you and Huo Zhen betrayed the imperial court, fought back, and killed the governor Song Zhong, have you forgotten?" ”
Qiu Fu suddenly came to his senses and pointed at the man: "Could it be that you are the Jinyi Wei Tongzhi Zhang Shixing?" ”
Zhang Shixing snorted and said, "It's good if you recognize it, I want to avenge my uncle today." With that, he swung his saber and rushed forward.
Qiu Fu hurriedly raised his sword to parry, but he had been fighting for a long time, he was exhausted, and he was too old to fight, his physical strength was not enough, and he couldn't fight, so he was knocked off his horse by Zhang Shixing and tied up.
Zhang Shixing took Qiu Fu to the big tent of the Chinese army to meet with Timur, the completer, only to see that Li Yuan, Huo Zhen, and Wang Zhong had all been captured and detained under the tent.
When Timur saw that Zhang Shixing had captured Qiu Fu, he praised loudly: "Zhang Tongzhi, he is really a hero, he actually captured the commander of the enemy army, and he should be the first credit." ”
Zhang Shixing excused himself and said: "Great Khan, this battle of Taiping lured the enemy deeper, and it should be the first credit." ”
Timur smiled and nodded, "You don't take credit, it's good, I will definitely reward you well." ”
After that, he ordered someone to bring Qiu Fu and the others up.
Timur smiled and said to Qiu Fu and the others: "I am the son of Emperor Xiaokang, and you are also my subordinates, if you are willing to surrender to me, I will spare your lives." After I enter the Central Plains, you can also be regarded as the founding heroes, enjoying all the glory and wealth. ”
Qiu Fu scolded: "A shameless thief, willing to be in the company of Hu Lu, an enemy of the court, and turn his back on his ancestors, is really a great rebellion. When my heavenly soldiers arrive, they will be broken into thousands of pieces. ”
When Timur heard this, he was furious and said: "You dare to insult the Great Khan, you are impatient, come and drag me out and behead me." ”
Suddenly, a voice came: "Great Khan, keep people under the knife." ”
