The grain purchased by the imperial court from Mao Wenlong not only solved the possibility of turning soldiers into soldiers at the border pass, but also leftover, Chongzhen waved his hand and directly allocated it to those soldiers who sent troops to Shanxi to assist in rehabilitation.

In this way, he recruited nearly 50,000 real elite soldiers for Lu Xiangsheng, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't imagine that Chongzhen was suddenly so generous, and actually solved the problem of the border pass, and sent a lot of grain and grass for his own use.

Lu Xiangsheng has these grains and grass and the 50,000 elite soldiers under his command at this moment, and he is determined to completely rehabilitate Shanxi this time!

The border pass was quiet, and the situation in the Ming court became very good, however, at this time, Chen Jisheng led the Dongjiang army to still be in the land of Tatar, marching east and west, killing people and killing people happily.

Since he had more than 10,000 war horses, Chen Jisheng reorganized the army and directly turned eighty percent of his troops into cavalry. Coupled with the original number of cavalry of the Dongjiang Army before, Chen Jisheng currently has nearly 20,000 cavalry under his command.

The power of 20,000 cavalry is shocking enough, even if the Ming court wants to organize a cavalry of 20,000, it is not easy. It may be impossible to say that it is not possible at all, first, the war horse will directly restrict the imperial court from being able to have.

Second, the cost of cavalry in the territory of the Ming Dynasty is definitely something that the imperial court cannot afford at present. The third is very simple, the first two points cannot be done by the imperial court, so is it possible to have an army of 20,000 cavalry?

The answer is obviously no, there is no doubt about this, even the imperial court has no way to do it, but Chen Jisheng will easily do it. Therefore he was very proud and complacent, especially when he had these cavalry, and he was even more swift when attacking other Tatar tribes.

The day before yesterday, a small tribe of less than 100 people had just been leveled, and this large army was advancing towards the next small tribe that was detected. It's a pity that the weather is not beautiful, and today it suddenly snowed again, although it was not big, but it also added a lot of trouble to the army, and the speed of the march was even slower and slower.

"General, five miles ahead is the location of the small Tatar tribe." A soldier in charge of reconnaissance came to Chen Jisheng on a fast horse.

Chen Jisheng showed a hideous smile on his face, he didn't hesitate at all, and immediately ordered: "The old rule, spread the whole army, rest for half an hour." All sharpen the knife for Lao Tzu and prepare to kill the enemy. ”

"Yes, General!" The Scout immediately received orders to go down and give orders.

Xu Fuzuo dismounted at this time, the armor on his body was already covered with snowflakes, due to the high body temperature, the snowflakes would soon turn into water vapor when they fell on his body, directly wetting his clothes.

The armor can resist swords, guns and arrows, but it can't keep Xu Fuju warm in cold weather, and even after the snowflakes melted, he was directly soaked all over. If you ride a horse, you won't feel so cold.

As soon as it stops, you immediately feel sick. He immediately took off his armor and took off his coat along with his coat. The coat was completely wet, but the underwear on the body had not yet been touched.

The cold wind blew, and although I felt very cold, my body felt very comfortable, and I no longer had that feeling of clammy coldness.

Xu Fuzuo took out a Tatar fur sweater from the package tied to the saddle and changed it, and then turned his head to look at Chen Jisheng, only to find that this guy was also like him, and had already changed into an animal skin sweater that only Tatars have.

"What, are you soaking wet too?" Xu Fuzuo took out the dry food and said with a smile while nibbling.

"It's damn weather, we've been on the road for less than half a day, and we've already changed into a second outfit. Or this Tatar fur sweater is so real that it will not be soaked with snow at all. Maybe it would be better for everyone to wear Tatar clothes. As soon as Chen Jisheng opened the conversation, he began to complain.

"If you really give this order, it is estimated that when the time comes for the next battle, we will not be able to distinguish between friend and foe in the battle array. When you accidentally hurt your own people, that's really fatal. Xu Fuzuo pursed his lips and warned Chen Jisheng again.

Chen Jisheng was not the slightest impatient about Xu Fu's warning, he didn't even mean to refute, he said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm not so stupid as I am." ”

As he spoke, Chen Jisheng also took out the dry food and began to nibble on it. It has been the twentieth day since they entered the realm of Tatar, and how deep they are now, Chen Jisheng and they don't know the bottom in their hearts. According to his and Xu Fu's plan, they could evacuate after five more days, and escape from here before Huang Taiji arrived.

Chen Jisheng finished eating the dry food, took out a wine jug, poured a big sip, and said with a mouth full of wine and disdain: "The wine of this grassland is really tasteless. ”

Xu Fuzuo glanced at him and shook his head helplessly. In fact, the wine made by the Tatars is still good, at least in such weather, it can play a role in keeping out the cold. But when marching, there are rules in the army that alcohol is not allowed, so every time Chen Jisheng secretly drinks alcohol, he always has to explain that these drinks are not wine.

I was too lazy to persuade Chen Jisheng again, anyway, Xu Fusheng knew in his heart that Chen Jisheng would not be greedy for a cup and delay the business. He finished gnawing the last bite of meat on the leg of mutton, threw the leg bones at will, and then said with a straight face: "In five days, we can withdraw, this time we have gained a lot, and it is a success to build an elite army, and we have more than 10,000 war horses." There is nothing to delay, in order to ensure a smooth return, it is better for us to return to Daming immediately after pacifying this small tribe, what do you think? ”

A hint of hesitation flashed on Chen Jisheng's face, although he felt in his heart that there was no need to be so careful. After all, Huang Taiji had not been able to rush here in thirty days since he got the news and then led the army from Jiayuguan. Not to mention, at this time, the Dongjiang Army had no fixed place and was rushing every day, even if Huang Taiji arrived, it was not easy to find the location of the Dongjiang Army.

But Chen Jisheng also considered that in such a ghost weather, it was really boring to rush every day, and after some deep thought, he nodded and said: "According to what you said, our purpose has been exceeded anyway." ”

After the two discussed, they unanimously agreed to withdraw early, and after spreading the news to the whole army, all the Dongjiang troops broke out in high spirits. Obviously, no one wants to stay in this hellish place anymore.

The mood of returning home spread among the Dongjiang army, and the morale of the soldiers was high, and they were eager to go back now. Now the only thing that stands in the way of them returning to their homeland is the small tribe in front of them, and as long as the last tribe is leveled, they can embark on the journey home.

Under the leadership of Chen Jisheng and Xu Fuyu, the army quietly surrounded the small tribe, and the soldiers sharpened their swords, just waiting for Chen Jisheng to rush in with an order.
