Although the nomads live in the vast and boundless steppes, it seems that it is difficult to find. However, those who really know the steppe tribes do not have this view. As long as it is a living thing, whether it is a person, a cow, a horse, a sheep, etc., all need to drink water.

Therefore, no matter how nomadic people nomadize in the steppe, they are inseparable from water.

The Ao Han tribe can be regarded as a large tribe, mainly grazing in the lower reaches of the Mengke River, the Hebang River and the Dunlai River.

Of course, if there are too many tribes, it is impossible to huddle together, but to spread out along these rivers.

On this day, the wind is mild, the sheep are comfortably gnawing on the fresh grass, and from time to time there are individual spring rams fighting. Most of the herdsmen of the Ao Han tribe are doing their own work and are busy for their livelihoods.

Suddenly, the herdsmen's natural instincts made them feel the faint sound of horses' hooves.

In this regard, not many people looked up to look, after all, in the grassland, the sound of horses' hooves or something, not too normal. And listening to the sound, it came from the upstream direction, obviously from its own tribe.

Of course, there are also idle little kids who like to watch the excitement, so they follow the sound.

I saw that in the distance upstream of the Monk River, a line was approaching this side along the river, red and gray, against the green background, but it was also beautiful.

Many little children saw that there were a lot of people, so they shouted: "The prince is here, it must be the prince who is here!" ”

Ao Han Bandi, by Huang Taiji was named the king of Zasakdoro County, so the people of his tribe called him the prince, compared to the title of the patriarch, it was much more majestic.

Hearing the shouts of the little kids, some adults looked up, if it was really the prince, they had to go to greet them.

However, just by looking at it, they felt that something was wrong. The Mongols wear gray robes for many years, and there is nothing red about it, unless it is a festive day, some people may wear red. However, it is not a festive day now, and it is impossible to wear red so much.

Because the direction of the horse team in the distance was in the upper reaches of the Monk River, for a while, they didn't think about it that much, they just couldn't figure it out.

When they got closer, they found that the knights, who had been jogging, had begun to increase their horse's speed as they approached the camp, which made them even more strange.

It was also at this time that some of them had sharp eyes, and finally saw it clearly, and suddenly, they cried out in horror: "It's the Ming army, it's the Ming army who killed ......."

They are self-aware, and the arrival of the Ming army is definitely not here to be guests.

Suddenly, everyone panicked when they shouted like this.

Men, women and children, some of them got out of the yurt, some got into the yurt, some still carried goat's milk bags in their hands, some had already picked up the guys in their hands, some rode up to meet them, some rode in the opposite direction, and some ran to the flock......

This cavalry army from the upper reaches, that is, the combined army of the Karaqin Department and the Guanning Army, under the leadership of the Karaqin Department, made a big circle, avoided the cavalry deployed by the Ao Han tribe near the handover of the two sides, and launched an attack on the camp of the Ao Han tribe.

Prepared or unprepared, nearly 5,000 cavalry troops, the old and weak in the Ao Han tribal camp and a small number of middle-aged herdsmen, there was no room to fight back, just a charge, and those Ao Han herdsmen who dared to resist were killed. Except for some Ao Han herdsmen who saw that the situation was not good and fled as soon as possible, the other herdsmen were all captured.

Jin Guofeng got Hong Chengchou's secret order and killed all the men, of course, according to the habits of the grassland tribes, those whose height is lower than the height of the chariot are not killed. Before the public execution, Jin Guofeng coldly announced: "The Governor gave your clan a chance before, but your patriarch is obsessed and will continue to be the enemy of the Ming Dynasty. The Governor was furious, now this commander is only a striker, and the Ming Iron has ridden everywhere, and he will definitely step on your Ao Han tribe. ”

Speaking of this, he shouted an order to the Ming soldiers who were executed: "Avenge the people of Gyeonggi, pay for the blood debt, and kill!" ”

"Kill!" The soldiers of the Ming army who were executed all shouted in unison, and as soon as the knife went down, countless heads rolled to the grassland.

All the captured cattle and sheep were slaughtered, and they ate a big meal, and if they could not eat enough, they were thrown into the Monk River, and then they took the captured horses and sailed away in just half an hour.

About an hour after the combined forces of the Guanning Army and the Karaqin Department had left, the nearby Ao Han cavalry rushed over, and they were really crazy when they saw the heads of people, weeping women and children, and the red-dyed Mengke River.

For the people of the Ao Han tribe, the Karaqin tribe is already a small tribe and should be the target of their oppression. If it weren't for the strict orders of the Qing Emperor, there would be no problem in annexing the Karaqin Tribe.

Therefore, when they crossed the border and entered the pasture of the Karaqin tribe before, their mentality was like an adult bullying a child, and they had a great sense of superiority. Just waiting for the order of his own prince, he can kill the camp of the Karaqin Department at any time.

However, now it was the Karaqin Department that really colluded with the Ming army, and actually took the lead and robbed a camp in their Ao Han Department, which made them all hold their breath.

However, the women and children in this camp still need to be resettled, and the beef and mutton that were thrown into the Monk River still need to be salvaged, after all, no one is rich these days. There are too many things, and there are not many cavalry troops who have come over for reinforcements in the first batch, so they can only send rangers to follow first, and the others will be busy in this camp first, and of course, there is no shortage of urgent reports to their prince.

…………

Ao Han Bandi is in love with Princess Gulun, in fact, it is mainly because Princess Gulun has been sticking to him all this time. Suddenly, I received an urgent report that a camp had been attacked by the combined forces of the Karaqin Department and the Guanning Army, and I immediately jumped up in anger and roared angrily: "Immediately pass on the order of this king, gather the tribal cavalry, and catch up for revenge!" ”

Before he could get out of the yurt, he was stopped by Princess Gulun.

The tribe was invaded, at this time, there was still time to take care of the feelings of men and women, he turned his head a little unhappily, and when he was about to speak, he saw Princess Gulun turn out the hidden bag, and at the same time said to him: "Sheng Jing explained that if the Ao Han Department is invaded, open the bag immediately!" ”

"......" Ao Hanban heard it for the first time, and immediately wanted to scold. He was not stupid, and he heard it at once, it turned out that the Qing Dynasty was using his Ao Han Department as bait.

At this time, Princess Gulun had already opened the bag and took a quick look.

Soon, she immediately said to Ao Han Bandi: "Shengjing's meaning is to let the prince immediately gather an army, block the border of the Ming Kingdom, and prevent this Ming army from escaping back, and at the same time, send a letter to Shengjing urgently for eight hundred miles." ”

As soon as he heard this, Ao Han Bandi immediately became anxious, and almost shouted: "With the military strength of my Ao Han tribe, if we all go to block the border, then what will my tribe do?" Crazy? Also, didn't you hear the emergency report just now? The previous Ming army was only the vanguard. ”

"On the side of the Horqin Department, there are also tips, and there is a strict order on the Shengjing side, and it will send troops to help the Ao Han Department, so don't worry about the prince." Princess Gulun said as she handed over the clever plan and said, "Sheng Jing has actually been assembling cavalry for a long time, this time, it is to unite all the tribes of our grassland, no matter how many Ming troops come to the grassland, they will be destroyed." ”

Hearing this, Ao Hanbandi was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked at the clever plan himself.

As Princess Gulun said, in the clever plan, a big game was laid out, in order to annihilate the Ming cavalry and hit the arrogance of the Ming State fiercely. It's just that the secret agent of Ming Guo Jinyi is too powerful, so in order to keep it secret, he has to make this decision.

After reading it, Ao Hanbandi couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The Great Qing Dynasty laid out such a big bureau, and he had no opinion on eliminating the Ming cavalry. But why use his Ao Han Department as bait?

However, it was already like this, and it was useless for him to be angry. Now, he can only follow the layout of Shengjing's side, and his side will first cut off the return route of the Ming army. If there are still reinforcements from the cavalry in the country, then swim with them without fighting, and wait for the cavalry of the Great Qing Dynasty and the cavalry of other tribes in the steppe to join and annihilate them.

In this regard, Ao Han Bandi didn't think that even if all the cavalry troops of the Ming Kingdom came to the grassland, they could still be arrogant? According to the total number of 20,000 cavalry of the Ming Kingdom, the cavalry of the Qing Dynasty, plus the cavalry of various Mongolian tribes on the grassland, can definitely have 100,000.

In the war of the cavalry army on the grassland, there are not so many conspiracies and tricks that can be used, and the fight is strength, can't you win the Ming army? If that's the case, then everyone won't be able to survive! However, this is obviously not possible!

Thinking so, Ao Han Bandi immediately moved according to the arrangement in the bag.

All of a sudden, all the departments of the grassland, there were teams of cavalry everywhere, the sound of horses' hooves everywhere, and the quiet grassland suddenly ignited.

Among the tribes of eastern Mongolia, the most closely related to the Manchus were the Ao Han and Horqin tribes. The Ao Han Department has already said that its patriarch is the eldest son-in-law of Huang Taiji, and he was also named the king of Zasakdoro County. In the original history, this Ao Han Bandi also devoted himself to the Manchu Qing Dynasty and made a lot of contributions to the Manchu Qing Dynasty's southern and northern wars.

And the relationship between the Horqin Department and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, not to mention, the sister of its patriarch, and two daughters, were married to Huang Taiji. Now, Huang Taiji is dead, and the patriarch of the Horqin clan, Bu He, is also dead, but this does not hinder the relationship between the two families.

The patriarch of the Horqin tribe is Wu Keshan, the son of Buhe, who was named the prince of Horqin Zhuo Liketu, and he is also the fourth son-in-law of Huang Taiji. The Manchu Emperor was also his nephew, and the Empress Dowager was his sister. With so many relationships, compared to the Ao Han tribe, it will only be closer to the Manchu Qing.

But even so, the tricks of these two tribes are all kept by Huang Taiji's daughter. It will not be opened until the conditions for opening the trick are met. In short, doing so much is just for the sake of secrecy.

Dai Shan was not mistaken, after Wu Keshan saw the clever plan, he immediately complied with it, gathered most of the tribal cavalry, and drove eastward, and at the same time coerced, it can also be said to be semi-forced, or according to the order of the Qing Emperor, he also ordered the Kulun and Naman departments to send troops together, and pounced on the side of Ao Han and Karaqin. It's like a net sweeping across the grassland.

……

On Shengjing's side, as soon as the eight hundred miles of the Ao Han Department arrived in a hurry, several princes of Jianyu were immediately excited.

Bumu Butai was also happy, he heard Dai Shan's plan before, and now he heard that everything was going smoothly according to Dai Shan's intentions. If she can win the Ming army, it will greatly consolidate the position of her son Fulin as emperor.

Therefore, she did not hesitate to praise it, and praised Dai Shan: "It is still Prince Li, but the Ming army fell into the calculation but did not know!" ”

When Dai Shan heard this, he didn't have a trace of pride, but his face was serious, and he asked the excited princes present: "The cavalry troops are dispatched from all over the country, but they are all secret, and the rumors released are going north to reinforce Prince Rui?" ”

"Needless to say, for sure!" When Hauge heard this, he shouted a little dissatisfied.

Yue Tuo was also not happy, and said with a little thorn in his words: "We are not children, how can we not know the importance of this matter!" ”

"Do you suspect that any of us will get the word out?" Duoduo also didn't have a good impression of Dai Shan, and sneered, "What a big joke! ”

Regarding their reaction, Dai Shan was obviously very deep in the city, and he would not be furious at all, so he just nodded and said, "This is also for prudence, just foolproof." Of course, this king believes that they all love the Xinjueluo family, so how could they reveal the news! ”

After finishing speaking, he turned around and saluted the little emperor who was dozing off, and said solemnly: "In this way, Your Majesty can issue an order to immediately send cavalry troops to reinforce the grassland." At the same time, a feint attack was carried out on Jinzhou to prevent the Ming army over there from making trouble. ”

The little emperor Fulin was still dozing off with a hala, but he didn't react. Of course, Dai Shan's words were not really said to the little emperor.

When Bumu Butai heard this, he said, "But! Everything is dispatched by Prince Li! ”

When Azig, who had not spoken just now, heard this, he immediately said to Daishan: "I'll go, I'll go to the grassland!" ”

Dai Shan listened, but shook his head and said: "You were defeated by the Ming army in the grassland, I am afraid that you will lose your sharpness, it is not appropriate!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Azig's face turned red, and he suddenly became a little annoyed and angry, and he wanted to be mad, and he wanted to shout, you were captured by the Ming army!

However, Dai Shan obviously didn't give him a chance, so he had already turned to Duoduo, Hauge and Yue Tuo and said, "Most of the cavalry troops transferred this time are under the banner of the three of you. Therefore, by leading the army and uniting the cavalry armies of all the grasslands, you should be able to encircle the Ming army and annihilate them on the grassland! ”

This is about the same, the three of them listened, nodded and agreed.

Then, Dai Shancai looked at Azig again and said: "You will lead the army to Xinjin, bluff, and make a posture that the Qing Dynasty wants to take Jinzhou, so as to attract the attention of the Ming army." But don't really fight, but focus on defense, so as not to lose the battle and ruin the big thing. ”
