Zhou Wangji, Chongzheng Palace, early dynasty

"Holy Lord, the minister has his own music." An old man in purple walked out of the queue tremblingly with a wat board, and the middle-aged man on the dragon seat stretched his waist and yawned, "Aiqing, please speak." ”

"The minister thinks that it is not appropriate to rashly send troops to Mongolia, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already received good news on the expedition, so he should return to the court with his division, and should not take the enemy lightly, and the prince is the future of the country, and he must not stay in the barbarian north for a long time, infected by the turbidity of the barbarians, and like to kill, isn't it a bad example for our dynasty, and the prince ordered it to change it overnight, killing the captives who surrendered, killing and surrendering is the most taboo thing on the battlefield, it will definitely cause the anger of Mongolia, and it will take revenge with the strength of a country, causing unrest on my border and turmoil in the hearts of the people." "The minister seconded the proposal." "The minister seconded the proposal."

The emperor glanced at them lazily, "I think that the prince of the country needs to have the ambition to swallow the heavens and the earth, and the means to quell the chaos and calm the people, so that the prince can go to the north, and besides, where is this?" I have just captured the Kulun Banner, and I have not yet reached Tuquan, even if I really want the prince to sweep the northern border, with the men of our dynasty and the blade of the country, will it not be possible? ”

"Your Majesty, the army led by the crown prince is the elite of our dynasty, but among the entourage of the expedition, there are no experienced men who are good at fighting. Soldiers, treacherous ways. Kulun Banner is a small city, 100,000 people, 30,000 defenders, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince captured and it takes more than half a day, no need to plan, blindly attack, and even one out of ten of the dead and wounded of our Korean soldiers, from Haizhou to Kulun Banner Mountain Road is steep, bandits block the road, grain and grass soldiers and horses are not easy to support, Your Majesty! The minister is dead, and beg His Majesty to order the prince to negotiate peace with Mongolia! ”

"Boom lala---" knelt down a minister, and the emperor sat up slightly straight, "Ouyang Aiqing, Mongolian Xizuo went to your house to give gifts after my army set off, but is there such a thing?" Qin Aiqing, you seem to have been at odds with Taifu, this expedition, you took the opportunity to make a lot of money in terms of grain and grass, right? The two ministers' bodies began to tremble uncontrollably, "There are many things that I turn a blind eye to, just because I don't know it." Spread my will, Haizhou general soldier Xu Shu guarded the border for many years, loyal and brave, named Xianyang Bo, led the garrison to meet the prince, must repel Mongolia, shock our country's prestige, Jinzhou, Huludao general army, immediately send troops to help, without delay. Zhangbei, Liangcheng, Datong General Army, immediately sent troops to attack Fengzhen, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu immediately interviewed Mongolia, so that it cut the emperor's name, to me as a minister, you can not blame the past. Retreat! ”

Haizhou, the city tower

Xu Shu and his lieutenants looked at the direction of the grain and grass convoy, hesitated slightly, and said: "Look at this mountain range, this is going to Kulun Banner, the road is steep, this is the insurance set up by God for us, if the Mongols come to attack, they can attack, and they can retreat, but now the prince is deep in the enemy's territory, and the grain and grass are escorted, I am afraid that it is not good." Lead two battalions of cavalry, count the equipment, and we will personally escort the grain and grass! ”

Kulen flag, military tent

"Report ---- small group of cavalry of the enemy army to come to test, do you meet the enemy?" The prince said: "Don't go out of the city, this is the enemy's plan to lure the enemy in-depth, rashly planned, afraid that the city will be lost, don't pay attention to it, seize the time to rest in the city, and wait for reinforcements." "Report--- East Gate was shelled, with 3,000 dead and wounded." "Report --- enemy cavalry is coming at the south gate." "How many troops?" "There are 30,000 enemies." "In any autumn, you lead 50,000 cavalry, 100 brave soldiers, go out of the city to meet the enemy, do not fall in love with the enemy, the mountains are steep and unpredictable, do not underestimate the enemy." "Yes!"

Xu Yuan walked in the city of Kulun Banner, where there are 100,000 people, the pasture outside the city is fertile, there are countless cattle and sheep growing up here, the people in the city are simple and simple, and have been adjacent to the Central Plains for a long time, since there are many places that are the same as the Central Plains. Walking into the prince's mansion, the wood hibiscus flowers in the courtyard were set on fire, and the Chang Wang's Mansion fell and the figure of Chang Wang did not appear, which is a little weird. There was no one inside, the treasure was also robbed, because the grain and grass were burned, the rebels in the city took the opportunity to rob, the people were not happy, at this time everyone was hungry, unkempt, the enemy besieged the city for three days, the water was cut off for three days, but the commander did not give the order to go to war, the sergeants could only rob the orphans and widows of the food, for a time the relationship between the military and the people in the city was tense, often swords and guns. The cruelty of war is that your brother may die before you, you join the army to defend the weak, and in the end you can only live by bullying the weak.

Ren Qiu led the order to lead a hundred death squads, 50,000 cavalry out of the city to meet the enemy, this is the only remaining cavalry in the city, if they die in battle, it is impossible to rely on infantry to compete with cavalry on the grassland, let alone any formation, unless they can fly in the sky. Out of the city, Ren Qiu didn't wait for the drum to beat, he led the army to rush out, the sergeant was dumbfounded, the commander fought with his life, it seems that it is really time to fight against the water. They rushed to kill everywhere, from the morning to the evening, the sergeants were tired, and when they were about to collect the troops and count the battle, they suddenly rushed out from all sides to kill 20,000 cavalry.

It was a civilian official who supervised the war for him, and after he understood what Ren Qiu meant, he shouted at him: "General Ren!" You can't come back, if you come back, the city will be over, don't worry, I will do my best to help you! "Ren Qiu almost laughed angrily on the spot, you help Lao Tzu like this? There was no way, he could only go back and continue to work hard. Just when the sergeant was fighting less and less, he suddenly heard a loud shout in the distance: "I am Xu Shu of Haizhou, rush to kill the enemy, add officials to the knighthood, and fight here for military merits!" The sound of killing was everywhere, Xu Shu brought people to support, and the front and back attacked, and the Mongols were really defeated and fled in all directions.

Xu Shu came with grain and grass, which brought hope to the defenders in the city, and then planned the plan, but the prince and Xu Shu had a dispute.

At this moment, our army is flanked by the front and rear, defeating the enemy army, and taking advantage of the high morale of our army, we should take advantage of the victory to pursue and annihilate the enemy army in one fell swoop. Prince Road. "The crown prince set out from Gyeonggi under the emperor's order, with an army of 300,000, and now more than half of the dead and wounded, he should not rush forward, but should stay behind to prevent the enemy from attacking. The grassland of the Horqin grassland is wide, Mongolia can not give up lightly, and now capture the Kulun banner, is to hang a knife on their heads, Weichen thinks, should recuperate, no longer attack, Kulun banner is Changwang Wangcheng, the royal city was captured, Chang Wang must be angry, repeatedly led troops to attack, and now our army is low-hearted, it is not appropriate to wave the division to the north, with a strong attack and the enemy's iron cavalry hard confrontation, Weichen thinks it is inappropriate, please think twice! ”

"Xu Shu! Disobedience before the tent, do you know what a crime! "The soldiers are treacherous, you can't always reason, Your Highness, if King Chang sends troops to attack, Haizhou, Kulun Banner is empty, what should I do, and what should I do if the mob in the city riots?" The prince was silent, and Xu Shu hurriedly knelt down, "Your Highness is the main seat of the East Palace, which is the future of the country, and it is different from ordinary people, you can't sit under the eaves of danger with your daughter's body!" Your Highness! If you make a mistake, what should the world do, and what should your majesty do! ”

The prince's face was gloomy, "What a Xu Shu, this palace has written down you, you are really a loyal and good general!" Come, Your Majesty, the infantry will stay behind, and the palace will lead 10,000 elite cavalry back to Beijing! ”

Haizhou Outside the city, King Chang led 200,000 cavalry and launched an attack.

Outside the city, the Mongol Great Khan personally led 300,000 cavalry and launched an attack.
