Wang Zezhi knew that the reason why Lin Dan Khan moved west to fight the right-wing tribes was actually because he had no food.

Lin Dan Khan's descendant, Guangning, the stronghold of trade between the Chahar Department and the Ming Dynasty, had fallen to Huang Taiji, and Lin Dan Khan wanted to annex the right-wing tribes in order to take the rich city rewards given by the Ming Dynasty to the right wing as his own.

After the young Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to reward him.

The right-wing Mongolian Tumut, Yongshaobu, Harashen, and Ordos tribes were the richest of all the Mongolian tribes.

In addition to the abundant water and grass of the grassland they occupy, it is largely due to the huge benefits obtained from the mutual market with the Ming Dynasty.

This is also the reason why there have been few wars outside Datong Pass in the Ming Dynasty since the "I answer the tribute".

Chongzhen's actions angered Lin Dan Khan, who had worked hard, and this was also the fuse for Lin Dan Khan to go south and attack Datong.

Since Lin Dan Khan moved westward, he has been reckless, without sending envoys or persuading him to surrender, with only one word, beat, fight to the death, until the fighting tribes are convinced.

From the first month of the first year of Chongzhen to December.

Lin Dan Khan swept the Harashen Department and annihilated the main force of the Harashen Department, and Harashen Khan and his son only led more than 100 people to flee.

Conquer the city of Guihua, the center of Tumut's rule, kill the general Wulu Huang Taiji of Shunyi King Bu Lost Tu, expel Shunyi King Bu Lost Rabbit, and Shunyi King Bu Lost Rabbit's brother Se Ling surrendered.

In less than a year, the right-wing tribes were crushed by Lin Dan Khan's autumn wind like falling leaves, until he met Wang Zezhi, which stopped his progress.

In fact, to put it bluntly, in addition to unifying Mongolia, one of the main reasons for everything Lin Dan Khan did was to ask for food.

"Khutuktu Khan was unconscious, and Tushetu Khan refused them access to his domain.

The Khalkha Chechen Khan sent an envoy to express goodwill, and they were willing to accept the desperate Lin Dan Khan and others, and Lin Dan Khan's concubine accepted the goodwill of the Chechen Khan's envoy, and she took the rest of her tribesmen, as well as the Ordos, to the east to surrender to the Chechen Khan. ”

The Mongolian sergeant translated the words of the three men, but Wang Zezhi fell into deep thought.

Chechen Khan, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the eighteenth grandson of Yuan Taizu, Mo Luo Pema, was nomadic in the area of the Krulun River.

His son Shuolei established himself as a Khan, called "Chechen Khan", and was known as the three Khalkha Mongolian Khans together with Tushetu Khan Gunbu and Zasaktu Khan Subadi.

Its territory extends to the Irtysh River in the east, Chahar Khan in the south, Tushetu Khan in the west, and Buryatia in the north.

Lin Dan Khan's coma caused his most loyal guards to defect as well, and they threw themselves into Huang Taiji in droves.

Only the Ordos people are loyal and protect him to the death.

Lin Dan Khan has entered the end of the road, and some people want to learn from Cao Cao to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

This man is the Khan of Chechnya.

As long as Lin Dan Khan defected to the Chechen Khan, his concubines and sons would become the puppets of the Chechen Khan.

So that the Chechen Khan could justifiably unify the Mongol tribes.

If this situation really occurs, Wang Zezhi's hard-won achievements will be threatened, which Wang Zezhi does not want to see.

"Don't rest, continue the pursuit, the goal, to catch up with Lin Dan Khan before he defects to Chechen Khan, intercept him."

Wang Zezhi was worried that Lin Dan Khan had really defected to Chechen Khan and would become a threat to him in the future, so he immediately ordered a pursuit without saying a word.

As for the three captives, they were tied to their horses and taken into custody, and pursued with the procession.

Wang Zezhi chased for a day and a night, and saw a lot of lost items from the remnants of Lin Dan Khan along the way, as well as the traces left by them after they plundered the Khalkhas, killed people and set them on fire.

Wang Zezhi knew that he was getting closer and closer to Lin Dan Khan.

Because, he found that there was still residual heat in the nearest bonfire, which showed that Lin Dan Khan's team had just left.

As soon as Wang Zezhi wanted to urge the soldiers to speed up, the horse he was riding foamed at the mouth and fell down.

Wang Zezhi didn't notice it, and fell directly off the horse.

He rolled on the grass a few times, and finally sat down on the grassland, feeling only a little dizzy.

"Your Excellency, your Excellency, can you hear me?" When Luo Cong, the guard, saw him fall off his horse, jumped off his horse, and came to Wang Zezhi's approach.

Wang Zezhi's ears rang for a moment, and then he heard what Luo Cong was saying clearly. 2018

"I can hear, I can hear, it's okay, I'm fine, help me up, pass on my life and rest for half a day, and let the war horse rest."

"Yes."

After three consecutive days of long-distance pursuit, not to mention that the horses can't stand it, even the people can't stand it.

"Come back, let the sentinel be on guard, you can't all rest."

"Yes."

Luo accompanied the order to call the herald to go.

Wang Zezhi got up and stroked his mount, the horse's mouth was mixed with blood foam, and it seemed that he would not survive.

It struggled to get up in pain, but no matter how hard it tried, it could never stand up again.

Wang Zezhi looked at the struggling mount and shed tears in distress.

"Old man, I didn't fall on the battlefield, I fell here, I can't stand you."

This horse was his first and had been with him for a long time, and it was impossible to say that there was no emotion.

The war horse seemed to understand Wang Zezhi's words, and no longer struggled, but shed tears, rubbed Wang Zezhi's hand with his head, hissed and hissed, and swallowed his last breath.

"Rest for half a day, let's go back after half a day, and we won't chase anymore."

Wang Zezhi's mount died, and he looked at the tired team, and did not plan to continue the pursuit.

As far as the current state is concerned, even if they carry enough food, they will be trapped and die on the grassland due to the fatigue of the war horses.

If someone attacks them when they are at their worst, there is a good chance that they will be wiped out.

Wang Zezhi didn't want to take this risk.

Wang Zezhi's team rested for a long time, and after the people and the horses were full of spirits, they rode back slowly on their horses.

On the way back, Wang Zezhi ordered people to collect the baggage and war horses left by Lin Dan Khan, no matter how small the mosquito meat is, it is also meat, he has to be diligent and thrifty, and he can't be extravagant and wasteful.

did not pursue Lin Dan Khan, everyone's morale was a little low, although they all knew that Wang Zezhi was for everyone's safety, but they still couldn't help but feel lost.

"Report, a large force of cavalry was found in front, about 5,000 people, and they also carried carriages escorting grain and grass, these cavalry seemed to be protecting someone, and according to their clothing and banners, it was very likely that they were protecting the tiger and the rabbit."

When the sentry suddenly came to report, the dejected sergeants immediately pricked up their ears and listened energetically.

Wang Zeyi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was a little surprised.

What Wang Zezhi didn't expect was that on the way to the remnants of Lin Dan Khan's army to defect to Chechen Khan, Lin Dan Khan woke up.

When he woke up, he realized what had happened, scolded her, and put her in custody.

He said that he took refuge in Chechen Khan because he was seeking the skin of a tiger, and he did not know how he would die when the time came.

So, he led the small Ordos tribe and his family from the north to a specific location.

Lin Dan Khan knew that Wang Zezhi would definitely not let him go, which meant that there were pursuers behind him.

Therefore, he had to make a detour from the north, so that he could stagger with Wang Zezhi.

He went west to an agreed place.

This was the agreed meeting point between him and the Tibetan Zangba Khan, the nomadic Qinghai Choketu Taiji, and the Baili Tusi, who controlled the Kham region.

He had sent a signal for help to the trio a few months earlier, and if he had expected it, their support should have arrived.

This is also Lin Dan Khan's backhand for himself, in case he loses, with the support of these three people, he may not be able to rise from the mountain.

As he expected, the three men sent more than 5,000 cavalry, as well as a small amount of food and grass to support him.

After all, they formed an "anti-yellowist alliance", and they still have to show it.

However, they never expected that Lin Dan Khan had been defeated, and these materials were not a lot for Lin Dan Khan.
