The Tatar soldiers were divided into several routes, retreating from the land of the capital to the Bauhinia Pass, preparing to go to Xuanfu from the Bauhinia Pass, and flee all the way back to the grassland. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because the soldiers and horses of the Yibula army attacking Juyong Pass were completely annihilated by Shen Xi, coupled with the withdrawal of Yisima due to the withdrawal of troops, the soldiers and horses of the Tatar besieging the Ming Jing Division lacked the necessary strategy and support on the way to withdraw.

Dayan Khan's troops have a lot of materials on hand, and several large tribes also have their own grain and grass reserves, but the food and supplies of the soldiers and horses of the small and medium-sized tribes below are in a hurry, and they can only burn and plunder all the way, but because the Ming Dynasty is close to the Beijing Division, the strategy of clearing the wilderness is implemented, coupled with the cold weather, the Tatars are basically in an embarrassing situation without food and grass along the way, which accelerates the collapse and flight of the Tatars.

On the contrary, Shen Xi's soldiers and horses have sufficient food and grass, and they can rest assured that they can boldly pursue.

Wang Lingzhi and Lin Heng led the 4,000 cavalry, all the way to the Tatars to chase and fight, Dayan Khan sent soldiers and horses several times to try to block the pursuit of the Ming cavalry, but the Tatars were newly defeated, morale was completely lost, and Lin Heng knew the terrain along the way from the capital to the Bauhinia Pass, and many times formed a situation of fighting more and less, and the Tatars suffered losses again and again.

As the Tatar army was about to arrive at Bauhinia Pass, even if the Khan sent troops from various tribes to block the pursuers, no tribe would be willing to obey the order.

Shen Xi led the infantry and marched towards the Bauhinia Pass in a hurry, naturally the two legs were not as fast as the four legs, and Shen Xi did not expect to catch up with the Tatars somewhere, just continue to maintain pressure on the Tatars.

After the end of the battle of Zhengyangmen, Shen Xi's soldiers and horses were only stationed in Nanyuan for more than two hours before they set out on the road, and then they rested for less than three hours at the site of the Guardhouse Castle abandoned by the Tatars between Liangxiang and Zhuozhou in the early morning, and then set off again.

Shen Xi rode on a horse and walked slowly, the whole person was drowsy, and the sound of Hu Songyue and others buzzing was heard in his ears.

“…… Lord Shen, please be considerate of us Beijing soldiers, the credit was taken up by the border army in the past, we finally followed you to win the battle, the wind went to the rain, seeing that it is now a situation of eating meat, how can the credit go to those border cavalry? It's so unfair! ”

In the early morning sunshine, Shen Xi squinted at Hu Songyue and said, "If you have the ability, chase after it yourself, don't babble in front of the official, the official is very sleepy, and he wants to be quiet for a while." ”

Hu Songyue's face was ashamed: "My lord...... In any case, you shouldn't let those border cavalry do their own thing, it's better to transfer them back first, wouldn't it be good for the three armies to advance together? ”

Shen Xi suddenly straightened his face: "What?" In order to share the credit of the whole army, this officer must follow your wishes, transfer the cavalry back, and let the Tatars return to the steppe, right? ”

Hu Songyue was short of words for a while, Liu Xule turned his horse's head, approached Shen Xi, and explained: "Lord Shen, Lao Hu didn't mean to contradict you, but ...... Since the beginning of Tumu Fort, we have fought hard battles one after another, each time it is a hard bone, and now it is finally the turn to eat meat, but those border cavalry ran out to grab the merit, and the soldiers below will inevitably be dissatisfied! ”

Shen Xi said disapprerovingly: "Which one is not convinced, let them come and tell me...... It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, and you just have to do what you are told. From yesterday to today, it has been a high-intensity march, and the soldiers probably can't stand it, and after noon, they will camp in place wherever they march! ”

Hu Songyue asked in surprise, "What?" My lord, camp at noon? You don't mean to say that you are going to fight the Tartars in the afternoon and take a break at noon, do you? ”

Shen Xi yawned: "This official didn't say that, you can understand it whatever you want." By your group of flies, the noise makes people's heads buzz, from now on, in addition to the basic battle report, whoever comes to talk to this official again, will be dragged out to fight twenty military sticks first! ”

Shen Xi was also bored, this group of people was arguing in his ears when they were fine, since they left the Beijing Division a few months ago, they were all like birds now.

The tough measures really worked, what else did Hu Songyue want to say, Liu Xu and Zhu Lie hurriedly looked at each other, and their eyes seemed to say: "Don't want to live anymore?" Lord Shen said that he was beating a military stick, but that was not a joke! ”

……

……

At noon on November 10, Shen Xi's headquarters arrived at the foot of Wolong Mountain west of Yi County.

The latest news came from the messenger of the Ministry of War, and the imperial court had sent an envoy to ask Shen Xi to be stationed in place and not to continue to march the army.

Hu Songyue and others, who thought they could win a big battle and were completely angry, learned the news and went to the big tent of the Chinese army to find Shen Xi, but they were turned away by the guards, but they did not give up and still stayed outside the big tent and waited.

Until sunset, Shen Xi was still closed, and at this time, the imperial envoy rode a fast horse and rushed to Shen Xi's military camp in a hurry.

This envoy, Hu Songyue and the others are no strangers, they have been to the army once before, they are in a high position, it is not at all that he can offend, even if Shen Xi sees this person, he has to salute respectfully and shout: "Xie Ge Lao!" ”

Hu Songyue and other generals were waiting for Shen Xi to see him, as soon as Xie Qian came, Shen Xi personally came out of the tent to greet him, Xie Qian said angrily: "The old man set off from Beijing from time to time, hurried and hurried, and actually walked for a whole day to catch up with you, you ran really fast all the way!" ”

Shen Xi glanced at Hu Songyue and the others, although these generals were dissatisfied with Xie Qian's grievances, no one dared to speak up...... These people are very strange now, Lord Shen is invincible on the battlefield, even the Tartars are afraid of him, it turns out that there are also people who can lecture him in a stern tone in person?

Shen Xi made a respectful gesture: "Elder Xie Ge, go inside and speak!" ”

Xie Qian looked at Hu Songyue and the others sideways, with a touch of strangeness in his expression, this group of people followed Shen Xi back to the capital and lifted the siege of the Beijing Division, in his opinion, these generals have a lot of ability, and they can almost be said to be the saviors of the Ming Dynasty, he didn't show his face to these people, it was regarded as respect for the heroes, and nodding was a greeting.

"You go first!"

In order to maintain the prestige of the commander of Shen Xi's army, Xie Qian let Shen Xi enter the big tent first, and then followed in.

Entering the big tent, Shen Xi retreated the guards, and when the people went out, Xie Qian pointed to the door of the tent and said, "You...... Is it to take this group of people back to the capital? ”

Shen Xi narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why did Elder Xie Ge ask this?" ”

Xie Qian said: "I'm just curious, what kind of ability do you kid have, can cultivate a group of people who don't learn and don't know how to do it into a hundred battle elites in the field?" ”

Shen Xi wanted to say that he didn't deliberately cultivate at all, but just forced people into a desperate situation, and then forced them to fight with the Tartars with him, and as a result, he grew up step by step, and changed to other armies, and the effect was estimated to be the same.

Shen Xi said: "Elder Ge, don't talk about this matter for the time being, just ask you, the imperial court has ordered the withdrawal of troops?" ”

Although there is a gap in status between the two, this gap is narrowing, Shen Xi is now a major official of the Zhengerpin Frontier, although he doesn't know how long the official title of the Zhengerpin can last, it is estimated that it is good not to be swept to the end after returning to the capital.

If you don't want to go to the end, there is only one option, which is to go to the northwest to continue to lead the troops and perform his errand of "Yansui Governor", if so, he feels that it is better to stay in the capital as an ordinary Hanlin official, at least his wife and children are by his side, so that he will not be alone like now, and he will not be able to sleep well every day when he is frightened and tremble.

Xie Qian replied very simply, nodded and said, "Yes." Your Majesty has issued an order that you must withdraw your troops and return to Beijing to prevent Diyi's soldiers and horses from attacking the capital! ”

After a short silence, Shen Xi looked at Xie Qian: "Elder Ge came all the way, this time is approaching the Bauhinia Pass, do you think that the Tatar people's minds are still in the capital?" ”

Xie Qian said angrily: "This is His Majesty's holy decree, could it be that you want to disobey the order?" Now the Tatars don't covet the capital, but if your soldiers and horses suffer a crushing defeat, you can try again! ”

Shen Xixin said: "What kind of stimulus did Xie Qian get to talk to me so loudly? Could it be that he was frightened by the Tatars attacking the city several times, so he used anger to cover up his weakness? After pondering for a while, Shen Xi asked again: "The Tatar division led the troops to withdraw from Xuanfu, Liu Shangshu recovered the town of Xuanfu, and the soldiers and horses were about to return to Neiguan, should have been reported back to the imperial court, right?" ”

"So what?" Xie Qian asked rhetorically.

Shen Xi said: "Since the imperial court has known that Liu Shangshu's soldiers and horses are about to fight with the main Tatar force, if the battle is defeated, the reinforcements will not be able to retreat to the Beijing division, and the first line of Neiguan is still occupied by the Tatars, why should the soldiers and horses that can echo Liu Shangshu on this road be evacuated?" ”

Xie Qian said angrily: "Shen Xi, you have to remember your identity, as a courtier, you must act according to your orders." There are things that shouldn't have been told to you, even so...... It doesn't hurt to say that you know, not only do you have instructions to withdraw your troops, but Liu Shangshu's side, the same is true, wouldn't it be a good thing to let Di Yi's soldiers and horses return to the grassland as soon as possible and prompt them to fight? Do you have to let the Ming soldiers be bloody on the battlefield and suffer countless losses before you are satisfied? ”
