Not only did Driktu find it incredible, but even Drotmur, Ulantu Yaqiqige, and the rest of the clan leaders found it incredible.

At this time, they also came out and fought to the death, so many people died during the day, can they negotiate peace? What to talk about? Isn't peace talks a surrender?

"Engdel, how did you learn to talk like the Han people and like to beat around the bush?" A straightforward tribal leader said: "If you want to surrender, just say it, what peace talks do you think the Jin people are willing to accept at this time?" If they ask us to give away the head of Zorictu, will we also give it? ”

The other clan leaders were silent for a while, and they all felt that if they bowed to Nurhachi at this time, Nurhachi's first request would definitely be to ask for the head of Zhuoliktu!

"Of course not! Then it's not called peace talks. Engdel said: "I don't mean to push out Zhuoliktu as a scapegoat, I mean Zhuoliktu, you come out, you talk about it, while blocking Nurhachi, the rest of us go first, want to go to the Ming Dynasty people to defect to the Ming Dynasty, want to continue to go to the west of the desert, continue to go to the west of the desert, and fight with the Ming people for so long, I don't believe in the Ming people." ”

When everyone heard this, they all gasped, everyone couldn't imagine that Engdel was so ruthless, although Zhuoliktu has the most people in these tribes, but it is only forty or fifty thousand people, excluding the old and weak women and children, I am afraid that it is only about 10,000 strong men, how can such a few people resist Nurhachi's people? Isn't that the same as letting Zoriktu die?

Drorictu glared at Engdel, who did not avoid Drorictu's gaze and looked at Drorictu.

"Brother, don't blame me, although my method is a little bit wrong with you, but sacrificing you can keep the rest of us peaceful. Moreover, Nurhachi is not necessarily going to kill you, is he? You can use Ulan Tu Yaqige to make amends to Nurhachi, marry Ulan Tu Yaqige to Wei Bao, and marry one of Nurhachi's sons, so won't you be able to turn hostility into jade silk? Engdel Dao.

"You fart! You are still a relative! Furious, Zottmul stood up at once, condescendingly condescendingly at Engdel, as if ready to punch Engdel's old head at any moment.

Engdel is also calm, and he is also a person who has seen strong winds and waves, and is not afraid of things.

Besides, there are so many leaders here, and no one will watch him being beaten.

Zottmur didn't make a move, but he kept glaring at Engdel, and Trotmur fought all day during the day, covered in blood, and it looked very scary.

Ulan Tuyaqige knew that her brother felt sorry for herself, so she helped herself out, pulled Radro Temur, and asked her brother to sit down first, she also felt sorry for her brother who had been fighting all day, and he must be tired.

But Trotmur pushed his sister's hand away.

"Brother, why don't you go and rest first, I don't know what will happen tomorrow." Ulan Tuya Qiqi Ge said.

"Can I go? If I'm gone, this old guy might have to lead the crowd to surrender and kill our people! Zottmur said politely.

"What do you say? Your father has to be honored to me, you are a junior, no big, no small, no rules. Engdel didn't dare to look at Zortmul, but the shelf was full.

"What kind of elder are you, just from what you said just now, it's not too much for me to kill you! You say don't you? Drotmur said angrily.

Zotmur originally thought that the other leaders would be on his father's side, after all, they all followed their own clan to defect from Jiannu and join the treasure army.

But at this time, no one from the other leaders spoke, and the reason why they agreed to follow Zhuo Liktu to betray Houjin was because they saw the strength of the Bao army, and the Bao army could draw with Houjin, which was already very terrifying, not to mention that behind Liaodong was the huge Da Ming, and the power of the Ming was not comparable to Jiannu.

As long as the brain is not a problematic person, everyone knows what it means for Daming to have a person who can draw with Houjin, which means that Jiannu can live a good life at any time.

In addition, this time the troops were dispatched, and the military rations of Jiannu were completely forced to be taken out by the Mongols, and the Inner Khalkha and Horqin departments were squeezed dry, and this winter really couldn't go on!

It was against this background that they all fled with Zoriktu.

But who knew that Nurhachi would personally bring people to chase after him, and depending on the situation, tomorrow would definitely be a bloody battle.

Although everyone does not think that Nurhachi can eat the entire Inner Khalkha with a few thousand people, but if there are no reinforcements, maybe the entire Inner Khalkha will end up dead and wounded!

This is a situation that no one can accept.

Moreover, the Mongols have always had no hope for the Ming Dynasty, and they all know that the Ming army wishes that the more they die, the better.

From this point of view, sometimes the Ming army is not as good as the Eight Banners, at least the Later Jin regarded them as slaves and had value of use.

And the Ming army regarded all Mongols, almost all of them as outsiders, and were not accepted.

Just when Zortmur and Engder were about to have a bigger conflict, Drorictu and the leaders of the clan were silent, and Ulantu Yaqiqige burst into tears.

Cao Wenzhao had arrived with an army of 1,000 horses and horses, less than fifty miles away from the place where Zhuo Liktu had set up camp.

Cao Wenzhao is a native of Datong, Shanxi. He was active on the front line in Liaodong very early as Xiong Tingbi, Sun Chengzong, Yuan Chonghuan and other generals, resisted the Houjin, and was promoted to a guerrilla general.

Cao Wenzhao served in the army in Liaodong in his early years, and served Xiong Tingbi and Sun Chengzong, and was promoted to guerrilla warfare.

In the winter of the second year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji besieged Beijing, and Cao Wenzhao followed Yuan Chonghuan into the king of Guanqin, and made meritorious contributions in defending Beijing.

In February of the third year of Chongzhen, Prime Minister Ma Shilong handed over the Shangfang sword given to him by Zhu Youzhen to Cao Wenzhao, and ordered him to lead the staff generals Wang Chengyin, Zhang Shujia, Dusi Zuo Liangyu and others to ambush the dead trees and Hongqiao in Yutian, and was promoted to general because of his meritorious service in the fierce battle.

Then he moved from Daqian Mountain to the vicinity of Zunhua, and followed Ma Shilong and others to capture Da'an City and Ayu Pass. Because of the merits of recovering the four cities, the imperial court added him an official as the governor of the capital.

In July, the people of Shaanxi changed greatly, and Cao Wenzhao was appointed as the deputy commander-in-chief of Yansui East Road, and led the Guanning army into the customs for conquest.

In April of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Cao Wenzhao defeated Wang Jiayin, the leader of the mutinous people who guarded the Hequ, and was promoted to the chief military officer of Lintao with merit.

Light the lantern from Shaanxi into Shanxi. Cao Wenzhao pursued them, and when he reached Jishan, he recruited 700 peasants.

He fled, and was soon captured and killed.

Li Laochai and the lone wolf occupied central Shaanxi, and the governor Lian Guoshi and Wang Chengen, the general soldier of Yansui, surrounded them.

In May, Qingyang's peasant army Hao Lin'an and Liu Daojiang went to help. It happened that Cao Wenzhao triumphed from the west, and joined forces with Zhang Fuzhen, a political participant in Yulin, to encircle and suppress them, killing Li Laochai and his comrades, and the other parties fled to Moyun Valley, and the deputy general Zhang Hongye and the guerrilla general Li Mingfu were killed in battle.

Cao Wenzhao then encircled and suppressed the thieves in Suide, Yijun, Qingjian, and Mizhi with the guerrilla generals Zuo Guangxian, Cui Zongyin, and Li Guoqi, and fought in Huainingchuan, Heiyuquan, Fengjiagou, Mianhuyu, and other places, and all of them won major victories. The Sweeper was beheaded.

Red Army Friends, Li Dusi, Du San, and Yang Laochai are all the remnants of Shen Yikui, and they are stationed in Zhenyuan, preparing to attack Pingliang.

Lian Guoshi issued a document asking Yang Jiamo, the chief soldier of Gansu, and Wang Xingshan, the deputy general, to stifle their offensive, and the peasant army had to retreat to Qingyang. Cao Wenzhao set off from the small road in Longzhou to meet Yang Jiamo and Wang Xingshan.

In March of the fifth year of Chongzhen, Cao Wenzhao fought with the peasant army in Xihao, beheaded thousands of levels, and captured Du San and Yang Laochai. The remnants of their army, together with other peasant armies, plundered Wu'anjian, occupied Huating, and attacked Zhuanglang.

Cao Wenzhao and Zhang Jiamo arrived, and the peasant army stationed troops in Zhangma Village, and the Ming army pressed straight over and attacked them together, and the peasant army fled to the high mountains.

The guerrilla generals Cao Bianjiao, Feng Ju, Liu Chenggong, Ping'an and others rushed forward with shouts, and the peasant army was once again defeated and fled.

At this time, Wang Xingshan and Gansu deputy general Li Hongsi, staff general Mo Hejing and others arrived, and they fought together and won more than 520 heads.

The Ming army took advantage of the victory to pursue, and successively defeated the peasant army in Xianning Pass and Guanshang Town, and when they chased to Long'an, Jiamo and Bianjiao jointly attacked and defeated them.

Thousands of remnants of the peasant army tried to flee to Hannan, but were intercepted by the guerrilla general Zhao Guangyuan, so they fled from Changningyi to Zhangjiachuan.

There was a strong force of thieves separated from Qingshui, and the deputy general Jiang Yiyang was defeated after meeting them, and Li Gongyong was arrested. Cao Wenzhao then used a counter-plot to fool the other leaders, let them kill the Red Army friends, and then rushed to Shuiluo City to defeat them, and when they chased to Jingning Prefecture, the thieves rushed to occupy Tangmao Mountain, and Bianjiao took the lead in attacking the mountain and annihilated the peasant army.

After the leaders of the civil rebellion, Man Tianfei, Hao Lin'an, and Liu Daojiang were defeated by Wang Chengen, they retired to Tiejiao City. Lone Wolf and Li Dusi rushed to meet them, and Man Tianfei and Liu Daojiang joined hands to besiege Heshui. Cao Wenzhao went to the rescue.

The peasant army hid its elite troops, only allowing more than a thousand cavalry to come out to meet the battle, luring the Ming army to reach the southern plains, and the ambush army rose up.

The people in the city said that General Cao was dead. Cao Wenzhao charged back and forth with a spear, and was single-handedly surrounded by more than 10,000 peasant troops.

Seeing this, the armies sent troops to help, and the peasant army was defeated, and the corpses were all over the field, and the remnants of the peasant army fled to the Tongchuan Bridge.

Cao Wenzhao led Cao Bianjiao, Feng Ju, Zhang Jiamo and their general Fang Maogong to catch up with them, charged into battle, fought desperately, and the peasant army was defeated again.

Soon, Cao Wenzhao, Ningxia General He Huchen, and Guyuan General Yang Qi defeated the peasant army at Ganquan Hujiwa, and all won a complete victory.

The general soldier Hong Chengchou slashed the sky in Pingliang and surrendered to his general Bai Guangen, and the rest of the peasant army fled by separate routes. Cao Wenzhao rushed to Longzhou, Pingliang, and Fengxiang to chase them down.

In October of that year, the peasant army was defeated three times in three battles. Then they forced the peasant army on Yaozhou's Awl Mountain, and their henchmen surrendered after killing the Lone Ranger and Hao Lin'an. Hong Chengchou killed more than 400 of them, and the rest were sent home. The peasant army in Guanzhong was slightly wiped out at this time.

Governor Yu Shi Fan Fucui won a total of more than 36,600 heads in all battles in the recitals handed to the imperial court, with Cao Wenzhao's merits first, Zhang Jiamo second, and Wang Chengen and Yang Qi second. When Wen Zhao was in Shaanxi, he fought dozens of battles and made the most meritorious contributions, but Hong Chengchou did not give him credit. Wu Shengsheng, the inspector of the imperial history, attached great importance to the edict, and Fu Cui also reported it again, but the military department still suppressed his merits, and finally did not reward Cao Wenzhao for his meritorious deeds.

At this time, the peasant army saw that Shaanxi was strong, so most of them flowed into Shanxi, and their leaders Zijin Liang, King Chaoshi, Ji Guansuo, Eight Kings, Cao Cao, Chuang Collapsed Tian, and Xingjia Hali commanded the seven battalions respectively.

There were 10,000 people in each department, and 5,000 people in the few, and they were wantonly active in Fenzhou, Taiyuan, Pingyang and other places.

Zhang Chenji, the imperial historian, wrote to the imperial court and said: "The thieves are from Shaanxi. Cao Wenzhao, a general in Shaanxi, was famous, and the gentry and common people made up songs and ballads for him, saying: "There is a Cao in the army, and the western thief is afraid when he hears it." Moreover, he had made meritorious contributions in Shanxi, and the thieves in Shaanxi had been wiped out, so he should be ordered to enter Shanxi to help encircle and suppress the thieves. So the imperial court ordered the generals of Shanxi and Shaanxi to be under the command of Cao Wenzhao.

In the first month of the sixth year of Chongzhen, Cao Wenzhao arrived in Huozhou, defeated the peasant army in Fenhe and Yuxian, and pursued to Shouyang with victory. Governor Xu Dingchen sent his adviser Zhang Zai to try to fight the peasant army before the army arrived, but the thieves were frightened and retreated.

In February, Cao Wenzhao pursued them and killed the king of Chaoshi in Bixia Village, and the remaining peasant army was driven away by a fierce tiger, and met Cao Wenzhao's army at Fangshan, and was defeated again, and the thieves in Wutai, Yuxian, Dingxiang, and Shouyang were all pacified.

Xu Dingchen ordered Cao Wenzhao to garrison and defend the eastern part of Taiyuan, and ordered Zhang Yingchang to garrison Fenzhou and defend the western part of Taiyuan. Cao Wenzhao successively defeated the peasant army in Taigu, Fancun, Yushe and other places, and the peasant army in Taiyuan was almost wiped out.

Because Cao Wenzhao made the most meritorious contributions, Zhu Youzhen ordered the areas he passed through to accumulate more grain and grass to reward his soldiers and horses, and ordered Cao Wenzhao to suppress the peasant army as soon as possible. Liu Zhongyun, a eunuch in Shanxi who monitored the military situation, wrote to him: "When Cao Wenzhao encircled and suppressed the thieves in Xugou, Yuxian, and Dingxiang, the authorities in these places not only did not give them rice, but wounded their soldiers with cannons. Zhu Youzhen handed over the matter to the imperial historian for questioning.

In March, the peasant army ascended the Taihang Mountains from Hanoi, and Wen Zhao defeated them at Zezhou. The thieves fled to Lu'an Cao, and Wen Zhao went to Yangcheng and encountered the peasant army instead of attacking it, but secretly sent troops from Qinshui to abduct it. attacked them in Qindi and Liu Village, and captured more than 1,000 heads.

In April, the peasant army garrisoned Runcheng, and the other team fought Pingshun and killed Xu Mingyang, the magistrate.

As soon as Cao Wenzhao arrived, the peasant army retreated, so Cao Wenzhao attacked Runcheng in the middle of the night and captured 1,500 peasant troops.

Zijin Liang and Lao Huihui fled from Yushe to Wuxiang, and Guotianxing fled to Gaoze Mountain, and Cao Wenzhao rushed to defeat them.

Other thieves besieged Shexian, and when they heard that Cao Wenzhao had captured Licheng, they hurriedly broke the siege and left.

In May, Zhu Youzhen sent the eunuch Sun Maolin to be a Chinese officer in Cao Wenzhao's army.

The peasant army attacked Qinshui, and Cao Wenzhao defeated them, captured their leader Dahu alive, and defeated them in the west of Maoling Mountain in Liaocheng.

In the case of repeated defeats, the peasant army avoided Cao Wenzhao's main force and mostly flowed north of the Yellow River.

Emperor Zhu Youzhen then ordered Wen Zhao to move his troops to the crusade.

The peasant army had defeated Deng Xi's army in Linxian County, and Cao Wenzhao led five battalions of troops to attack at night and defeated them.

In July, he defeated Huaiqing's peasant army in Chailing Village, killed its leader Rolling Dilong, and pursued Lao Huihui in Linyuan.

When Cao Wenzhao was in Hongdong, he was at odds with Liu Lingyu, the local imperial historian who was at home.

By this time, Liu Lingyu came to inspect Henan.

The army of Ma Fengyi, the chief local official of Sichuan Shishi, was defeated at Houjiazhuang, and relied on Cao Wenzhao's fast horse to arrive to repel the peasant army.

After the battle, Cao Wenzhao had just disarmed and rested, and met with Liu Lingyu, and he did not talk speculatively.

Cao Wenzhao brushed his clothes and reprimanded him to his face.

Liu Lingyu was annoyed, and took Fengyi's defeat as Cao Wenzhao's sin.

The military department thought that Cao Wenzhao was proud after winning a few battles, so he transferred him to Datong.

In July of the seventh year of Chongzhen, the Qing army entered the Guanxi to conquer the Han Dynasty, and when he returned to the division, he casually entered the territory of Datong, captured the victory fort, and the general Li Quan committed suicide, so he besieged Huairen County and Jingping Fort, Yingzhou and other places. Cao Wenzhao and the governor Zhang Zongheng were first stationed in Huairen to hold on.

In August, Huairen relieved the siege and moved his troops to garrison in the town to challenge the Qing army, but failed and returned.

Later, most of the castles of Lingqiu and other garrisons fell, and the Qing army returned triumphantly.

In November, the imperial court assessed the guilt of the generals, and Cao Wenzhao, Zhang Zongheng, and the governor Hu Zhan'en were convicted and sent to the border guards.

As soon as the order was issued, Wu Shengsheng, the governor of Shanxi, wrote a letter recommending Wen Zhao to know the soldiers and be good at fighting, and asked him to be arranged to come to Shanxi. So the imperial court ordered him to be the chief military officer of the aid and suppression, and let him make meritorious service to atone for his crimes.

At this time, the war disaster in Henan was particularly severe, and Zhu Youzhen had already agreed with the opinion of the Ministry of War, and ordered Cao Wenzhao to lead his troops to Henan urgently to suppress the thieves. Wu Shengsheng protested and wrote a letter to fight for it, asking Cao Wenzhao to pacify the thieves in Shanxi first, and then march into Henan, but Zhu Youzhen did not agree. However, Cao Wenzhao was retained by Wu Shengsheng because of Wu Shengsheng's kindness to him, so he finally took Taiyuan and was retained by Wu Shengsheng.

At this time, Gao Jiaji, the leader of the peasant army in Shanxi, had been annihilated, and Fengyang had fallen, so Cao Wenzhao reorganized the army and went south, and met with Hong Chengchou in Xinyang in March of the eighth year of Chongzhen.

Hong Chengchou was very happy and immediately asked him to go to Suizhou to attack the peasant army, and Cao Wenzhao chased and killed more than 380 peasant troops.

In April, Hong Chengchou was stationed in Ruzhou, because the peasant army all ran to Guanzhong, and decided to turn back and eradicate the nest of the peasant army first, so he ordered the generals to guard the key points, and issued a document to summon Cao Wenzhao to enter the pass, and Cao Wenzhao then rode to Lingbao to meet Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou believed that the peasant army was in Shangzhou and Yunan, and if he heard that the army had passed, he would definitely flee to Hanzhong first, and when the army entered Hanzhong from Tongguan, it would fall behind the peasant army.

So he ordered Cao Wenzhao to take the mountain road from Ruxiang to Shangzhou and Luonan, go straight to the lair of the peasant army, and then rush to Hanzhong from Shanyang, Zhen'an, Xunyang and other places to prevent them from escaping.

And said to him: "This march, the road is tortuous, the distance is long, the general is very hard, I gather the troops in Guanzhong and wait for the arrival of the general." Then patted him on the back affectionately to see him off, and Cao Wenzhao went without saying a word. On May 5, the edict arrived in Shangzhou. The peasant army was thirty miles from the city, and the lights of the barracks were all over the mountains. Cao Wenzhao led his nephew general Cao Bianjiao, garrison officer Cao Dingjiao, and Du Si Bai Guangen to defeat the peasant army in the deep mountains and old forests in the middle of the night and chased them to Jinlingchuan. The peasant army took advantage of the dangerous terrain to meet the battle with a thousand cavalry, Cao Bianjiao shouted loudly and rushed into the enemy position, all the soldiers and horses moved forward together, and the peasant army was defeated and fled. Cao Bianjiao bravely crowned the three armies, and when the thieves heard about the big and small generals Cao, they were very afraid.

It didn't take long for the peasant armies led by Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, and Zhang Xianzhong, the king of the Eight Greats, to attack Fengxiang and advance to Huangyang and Longzhou, and Cao Wenzhao rushed to the front line from Hanzhong. The peasant army rushed to Jingning, Qin'an, Qingshui, and Qinzhou, with a strength of nearly 200,000 troops.

Because the strength of Wen Zhao's troops and the forces of Zhang Quanchang and Zhang Waijia together were only 6,000 people, and the disparity between them and the peasant army was too great, Hong Chengchou complained to the imperial court and did not receive any instructions. In June, the Ming army met the peasant army at Ranmachuan. Liu Honglie, the vanguard of the Chinese army, was captured, and soon the deputy generals Ai Wannian and Liu Guozhen were killed in battle. When Cao Wenzhao heard this, he glared and scolded, and immediately rushed to Chengchou to ask for a march. Hong Chengchou said happily: "If it weren't for you, General Cao, no one would be able to eliminate this group of thieves." But my forces have been dispatched, and I can't send out a team to meet you. After the general departs, I will rush from Jingyang to Chunhua to be your backing. ”

Cao Wenzhao then led 3,000 men to march from Ningzhou and met the thieves in the town of Hutou in Zhenning. Changjiao took the lead in climbing the city wall, beheading 500 people, chasing the enemy for 30 miles, and Cao Wenzhao led the infantry to follow. Tens of thousands of cavalry in ambush by the thieves suddenly came out and surrounded them, and the arrows were as dense as the thorns of a hedgehog. The thieves didn't know that it was Cao Wenzhao's army, and one of the small soldiers was captured and tied up in a hurry, and shouted loudly: "General, come and save me!" The rebels in the middle of the peasant army knew Cao Wenzhao and pointed out to the peasant army: "This is General Cao Bing." "When the peasant army rejoiced, it tightened the encirclement even more. Cao Wenzhao jumped left and right, killed dozens of peasant armies with his own hands, and fought for several miles. In the end, he lost his strength and committed suicide by drawing a knife. More than 20 guerrilla generals died below the level of pacification.

Hong Chengchou beat his chest and cried bitterly after hearing the news, and Zhu Youzhen also grieved for him, posthumously awarded him the crown prince Taibao and Zuo Dudu, gave him a funeral ceremony, and let his descendants have the official position of hereditary commander of affairs, and ordered Yousi to build a temple for him, and pay tribute in spring and autumn every year. Cao Wenzhao's loyalty and courage are incomparable in the world, and he is known as the first person among the good generals in the late Ming Dynasty.

For his death, the peasant army congratulated each other.

Cao Wenzhao was able to go to the outside of the border to pick up the people of Inner Khalkha, which was something that even Wei Bao did not expect.

Wei Bao just sent someone to send letterheads to the various garrisons of the Jizhou Army, and as for who would buy his Wei Bao's account, Wei Bao was really not sure.
