Chapter Seventy-Nine: Fate and Chance (3)

"Great Khan, urgent military report!"

"Great Khan, wake up, General Sre is here!"

"Military newspapers? What a military newspaper! ”

Dibaonu struggled to open his eyes and shouted towards the tent door, "Is it Srage?" Come on in! ”

The curtain of the door was lifted, and Si Re rushed up like a gust of wind, ignoring the concubines who were serving the slaves and dressing, and said in a hurried voice: "Great Khan, Xiban is in a hurry, the Ming cavalry has surrounded Huozhou?" ”

"What?"

Huo Ran, the land protector, stood up: "Come on, get a basin of cold water!" ”

The icy water dispelled the sleepiness of Dibaonu and cleared his brain, he took the military report, glanced at it, and immediately said: "Sre, take Tanzan, Kuben, Sanjiha," Speaking of this, Dibaonu paused for a moment and continued: "Also, call Surile over as well." ”

"Great Khan," Si Re hesitated for a moment, and said, "Great Khan, you have forgotten, Tanzan has already left, go to Luntai!" ”

"Oh, well, call the others over!"

"Yes, Great Khan!"

......

Half an hour later, the Dibaonu convened a military meeting in the Golden Horde.

Heated debates ensued at the meeting, but only Suri Le remained silent. He was originally a personal entourage of Eseku, but he surrendered to the Dibaonu and helped the Dibaonu to encircle the Warat army, so not only the Warat people scolded him behind his back, but even the Mongols looked down on him a little, but the Dibaonu valued him very much, and he would be called at a meeting.

"Su Rile, what do you think of the current situation? Let's hear it! ”

Hearing Di Baonu's order, Su Rile hurriedly stood up and said: "Great Khan, the generals have analyzed it very well, the last general is stupid in qualifications, he doesn't know what military strategy is, he only has a lot of strength, the Great Khan gives an order, and the last general will carry it out." ”

"Hehe, Su Rile, they are all just from Mobei, they are not familiar with this place, and they don't know the Ming army in Hami. If the Ming army is a large-scale attack this time, the Great Mongolia will face life and death, so Ben Khan hopes that the general can give advice! ”

As he spoke, the Dibao Nu stood up and bowed deeply to Su Rile.

Su Rile jumped up in fright, hurriedly dodged away, and waved his hand in a panic: "Great Khan, Great Khan is serious, the last general will not dare, the last general will not dare!" ”

"Sit down and speak slowly!"

"Xie Da Khan!"

Su Rile thought for a while, walked to the map, and said: "The Great Khan does not suspect that the last general is shallow, and the last general will say it directly!" ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"

"Great Khan, generals, since last year, the Ming army changed the Shaanxi Xingdu Division to the Gansu Capital Division, the first capital division was Zhang Fu, this Zhang Fu was originally a close confidant of Zhu Di, the king of Yan of the Ming Kingdom, when Zhu Di rebelled, the last general once followed the general of the big-big-left army to see this person."

"This Zhang Fu is tall, superb in martial arts, unsmiling, and a general's billet, and the former national teacher Wang Xing has a high evaluation of him."

Later, he surrendered to the Ming court, sold Zhu Di's family to the Ming emperor, and then sat in a high position in Gansu for six or seven years. Sometimes, I even suspect that he was an undercover agent arranged by Emperor Ming to be by Zhu Di's side, otherwise it would be impossible for him to be promoted so quickly. ”

"Last year, it was said that the Timurid Khanate had the idea of attacking the Ming State, so the Ming court increased a large number of troops in the northwest and hoarded a large number of ordnance."

"After Timur's death, Peel succeeded to the throne, and he sent back the envoy of the Ming Kingdom, Fu An, and was willing to make friends with the Ming Kingdom."

"But the Ming State immediately turned around and transported the surplus ordnance, grain and grass to Hami to support Eastern Chagatai and Warat, and let us attack the Timurid Khanate."

"We accepted the ordnance, Eastern Chagatai has already started a war with the Timurid Khanate, but we didn't, because there is a problem, we go to fight the Timurid Khanate, so what to do with our homeland? Obviously, this is a ploy to drive the tiger and the wolf, so-"

"So it can be seen that the Ming army has always had ambitions for Warat and East Chagatai, so this time the Ming army attacked, and the last general thought it was not surprising."

"Therefore, General Xiban's worries are not exaggerated, our army must be prepared for a big battle with the Ming army."

Listening to Su Rile's eloquent talk, Di Baonu felt a little proud in his heart, and others have always complained about their reuse of Su Rile, but now it is worth it to see everyone listening attentively.

"So what does the general think our army should do?"

"In response to this situation, the former big leaders and national teachers have made deductions."

Su Rile stood up straight, pointed to the map and said: "The Ming army's attack must be launched from Hami, and there are two roads they can choose, one is the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, through Huozhou to the West Sea; The other is to walk the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, pass through the Pu Sea, that is, Balikun Lake, and arrive at what the Han people call Luntai, cutting the territory of Wara into two sections, so that we can't take care of each other in the north and south. ”

"From Luntai, the Ming army can choose to go north to Jinshan, or south to the West Sea, so that our army will have a general trend."

"Therefore, my Wara army is generally divided into three parts, Xihai, Luntai and Jinshan, and at the same time ambushes and set up outposts in Huozhou and Puzhihai to prevent the Ming army from sneaking up."

"Judging from the current situation, it is unlikely that the Ming army will attack on a large scale, otherwise Huozhou will inevitably be lost."

"According to the analysis of the last general, there are three possibilities, one is that the Ming army is to hunt down and kill the former general, since the establishment of the Wen Dynasty, the arrogance of the Ming army in the northwest has become more and more arrogant, this situation has also happened before; Another possibility is that the main force of the Ming army attacked our winter pasture (Luntai) from the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and Huozhou is only a suspicious soldier here. ”

"There is also the possibility that the Ming army is using harassment tactics in preparation for a major offensive next spring."

"Oh,"

Dibaonu thought for a moment and said, "So, what does the general think is more likely?" How should our army respond? ”

"This,"

Su Rile hesitated for a long time and said with a wry smile: "Great Khan, there is too little information to make a judgment now. ”

"But now that the bitter cold is coming, it is unlikely that the Ming army will attack on a large scale. For the Ming army, a thousand-mile attack required carrying a large amount of grain, grass and provisions, and with the cautious character of the Ming Emperor, he would not do such a risky thing. ”

Therefore, the last general thought that it was very likely that the Ming army was bluffing, but just in case, the last general suggested that a small number of troops be sent to reinforce Huozhou to test the reality of the Ming army; At the same time, send someone to inform the Luntai side, be careful, and still can't rule out the possibility of a sneak attack by the Ming army! ”

Su Rile's analysis was well-organized, well-reasoned, and comprehensive, and his suggestions were appropriate, and the expressions of the generals in the account could not help but relax, and their eyes turned to the chief of the Great Khan Di Baonu.

Di Baonu was a little hesitant, he admitted that Su Rile's analysis was reasonable, but the uneasiness in his heart still existed: "General, is it possible that Emperor Ming secretly hoarded heavy troops in the northwest and attacked in winter?" ”

Maybe Di Baonu's idea was too far-fetched, so without waiting for Su Rile to speak, Si Re stood up: "Great Khan, the last general thinks that there is no such possibility, and the transfer of our army to the West Sea is the result of a series of misfortunes, we didn't expect it before, how could the Ming court think of it?" ”

"In addition, in the battle of Tongliao, although the Ming army won, I believe that there are not a few troops and grain and grass requisitioned by the Ming court, so the northwest must be empty, and it is impossible to prepare enough troops in advance, so the last general thinks that the large-scale attack of the Ming army will be in the spring and summer of next year at the earliest."

"On the Hami side, the army is only five or six thousand, and with the Ming garrison, the total number will not exceed ten thousand."

"In addition, according to the military system of the Ming State, without the order of the Ming Emperor, the Ming army would not dare to launch a large-scale attack, so the last general thought that the Ming army in Huozhou was just a small group of harassing troops, so there was nothing to worry about."

"But for the sake of insurance, the last general is willing to lead the army to Huozhou, expel the Ming army, and kill the spirit of the Ming army."

"The last will go!"

"The last will go!"

Hearing everyone's call for battle, Di Bao Nu was expressionless, just pressed his hand lightly, and the generals were immediately silent, but their eyes were staring directly at Di Bao Nu.

Dibaonu pondered for a long time, and then turned his gaze to Su Rile: "Su Rile! ”

"In!"

"Ben Khan gave you 5,000 elite soldiers, are you willing to relieve the siege of Huozhou?"

"The last general is willing!"

"Very good, Ben Khan allowed you to chase the Ming army to Hami, but not to attack the city, understand?"

"The last general obeys!"
