Chapter 904: Mobei Suspicion
The horse farm built by Datong at the beginning is no longer inferior to the scale built by the Jinren at the beginning, a million-dollar military horse farm.
The horses, which could not be seen at a glance, were galloping wantonly on the grassland, like a brown horse, slowly drifting in the distance.
The rumbling sound of running sounded as if in people's hearts, and the grass broken by the horses' hooves brought out the fragrance of the turf, mixed with the wind peculiar to the grassland, and rushed towards them.
The horse herd held the horsewhip and galloped wantonly on the horseback, shouting loudly, the brightness of the end of the horsewhip and the neighing of the horse, echoing each other in the pasture of the Great Song Dynasty.
"So many horses? How many thousands? Cao Xian looked at the endless horses in the distance and asked in surprise, it was the first time she had seen so many horses galloping on the grassland.
Zhao Huan got off the driver's seat, and he was also surprised to look at the horse training, and it was the first time he saw the horse herding horses.
Hearing Cao Xian's question, Zhao Huan shook his head and said, "No, there are less than 3,000 horses in a pasture. All you see is 3,000 horses. The reason why you can't see the end is just that it's far away, and they're far away. There are many such horse farms throughout Shangjing Road, and in the spring, they will select stallions to return to Datong and do some cross-breeding and selection work with some horses from the Western Regions. ”
"This herd of horses can only produce three hundred war horses at most, that is, the mounts of Yue Fei's Wei army and Han Shizhong's mountain Lan army, and it costs ten taels of silver to buy an ordinary horse, or ten silver dollars of the Great Song Dynasty." Zhao Huan said confidently.
Cao Xian asked suspiciously, "What about the rest of the horses?" ”
Zhao Huan laughed at this, and was slapped a few times by Cao Xian before he stopped laughing and said, "The rest can't fight horses, can't they pull carts?" It's all on the road, this thing can't be wasted, rest assured. ”
"That road is Datong to Zhenzhou, and then from Zhenzhou to the north to Longcheng, Zhenzhou to the west to Qinghe City, Zhenzhou to the east to Jingbian City and Wang Yanbu of Fuyu Mansion. Except for the gallop road to Dragon City, the other gallop roads are almost repaired. Zhao Huan said proudly.
"The road under our feet, leading to Fengshengzhou, Fengshengzhou to Linhuang City has been repaired, and not long ago the Ministry of Industry submitted a construction plan to repair the road from Linhuang to Huanglongfu, they can't wait."
He fulfilled his original promise, and he galloped within his reach, and the frontier of the Great Song Dynasty was also.
"See Your Majesty, Your Majesty Antai." Zhao Ding received the news that he needed to return to the DPRK, and after handing over the work in his hand to Han Fang, he arrived in Datong, and after knowing that the official family had paraded to Taiyuan, he waited in Datong Mansion.
Zhao Huan helped Zhao Ding up, and in the past few years of training in the grassland, Zhao Ding has an indescribable sharpness, and the Great Song Dynasty is now in urgent need of this sharpness.
It has been five years since Yanjing said goodbye, and Zhao Ding's face has also been left traces by the wind and sand of the grassland.
Zhao Huan looked at the endless grassland and asked, "Do you understand the specific situation over there in Mengwu?" They are too closed, and in my strategy, I misjudged them, thinking that the thirty-two divisions of Mobei are all a whole, which is my mistake. ”
Zhao Ding shook his head and said: "This is not to blame the official family, in fact, the official family, Mobei is very big." The minister is in Zhenzhou, and the governor of the military affairs of Shangjing Road also regards the Mobei tribes as a whole to plan, but the official family, Mengwu is actually dying. ”
"Lu Khan of the Kereh tribe has contacted the Sun Khan of the Naiban tribe, and the Sun Khan led his eldest son Buyulu and second son Bai Buhua, with 50,000 cavalry, and the alliance army of the Kereh tribe, towards Mengwu."
"The Naiban tribe is actually the Turks, they have been at war with the Kereh tribe for generations, and they have been fighting for hundreds of years, it is a feud, they can unite together, it is because they see the strength of the Mughal country, so they unite with the Kereh tribe to conquer the Mugul."
"Moreover, the Lu Khan and the Sun Khan of the Kereh Department have sent letters to the Wuge and Wanyan Sect of the Tatar Department, asking for the four ways to defeat the Menggu, that is, the Qiyan Department."
As soon as Zhao Huan heard about these four ways of fighting Menggu, he knew that something bad was going to happen, and he asked worriedly, "Are you optimistic about their battle this time?" Do you think the Jin coalition will win, or will the Muguls win? ”
"The 500,000 troops of the Jin coalition army encircled and suppressed the 60,000 cavalry of the Mengwu, how did they win? The minister thought that the Kim Congress would win. Zhao Ding said inexplicably.
"Concubine Cao Xian, what do you think?" Zhao Huan asked with a smile.
Cao Xian was staring at a detached horse on the grassland, and when she heard Zhao Huan's question, she thought about it, lifted the ends of her hair that was disturbed by the wind and said: "The concubine probably heard a little, compared to the number of people, the Jin State coalition army will have a greater chance of winning." ”
Zhao Huan shook his head, turned his head and asked, "What do you think, Zhao Ying?" ”
Zhao Ying closed his eyes for a long time before saying: "The minister thought that Mengwu would win, and the minister couldn't understand, but the minister thought that there would always be an accident with the coalition army." ”
Zhao Huan nodded, slowly walked towards Datong Mansion, and said, "Send a fast ride, let Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Yang Zaixing, and Wang Yan be careful." ”
After Yue Fei received the edict, he knew that the battle between the Mengwu and the Jin State was about to break out.
"I took the army with me, and twenty thousand horses to carry water and food. If the Mugwu wins, then the Mugwu will be defeated, and if the golden man wins, the golden man will be struck. No matter who wins, in the end, it can only be me who wins. After Yue Fei closed the edict, he said solemnly to Han Shizhong.
Of course, Han Shizhong disagreed, shook his head frantically and said, "Ge Laozi, you go to war alone!" Put Lao Tzu here and stare at the gold thief? Let Yang Zaixing stay, just finish the pig of Yan Zhenzhu, he dares to look at Yang Zaixing at a glance and count Lao Tzu losing! I'll take the Shan Lan Army with you. Bring our artillery, trebuchets, and thistles cannons, and when the time comes, Gant Niang will have a vote. ”
Yue Fei squinted his eyes and thought carefully before saying, "When the time comes to Mobei, you have to listen to me." ”
Han Shizhong nodded and said, "You ghosts and goblins, they all listen to you, then go." ”
After Yue Fei sent a letter to the official family in Datong, he took 14,000 elite horsemen and about 20,000 Hejian troops to Mobei along Daxianbei Mountain.
Wang Yan's more than 40,000 eight-character army went to Huanglong Mansion to receive baggage, followed by a mighty army of 70,000 troops, stationed at the foot of Gnaigon Mountain, camped, and sent a large number of scouts day and night to investigate, but there was no trace of the coalition army.
The Ma army's footsteps were much faster than the forbidden army's ten miles a day, and it took more than ten days to reach the Mobei grassland.
"Is this the end of the fight, or is it not the fight?" When Han Shizhong arrived in Mobei, he scratched his head for a while.
It is inevitable that this will be stationed at the foot of the mountain, otherwise how to get water?
Even the official family is not familiar with the military, and they can arrange the story of Ma Tan's carelessness and loss of the street pavilion.
"We're early." Yue Feile injected the horses, looked at the nomadic people in the distance, and said with a smile: "Hey, the Qiyan Department is there." ”
