What can you think of in the savannah?

Vast and desolate is definitely a word that comes up often, but for Qi Qi, he feels the same now, that is, cold. The north wind was blowing, and the clothes on his body had already been pierced.

This is not the most unbearable, the most unbearable is the cold wind blowing in the face.

That kind of feeling like a knife cut, it's really worse than death, and it's only been a few days since I arrived here, and a cut has already appeared on my face. Smeared a little badger oil, which made Qi Qi feel a little better.

Glancing at Li Dong, a thousand households sitting next to him eating meat, Qi Qi was a little depressed.

This northwestern man seems to be very unimpressed by this kind of weather, although his face is also blown red, but it does not mean to dry up. The maroon red face is very rough, but it looks useful.

The knife in his hand stuck a piece of mutton in his hand, roasted it on the fire, and then stuffed it into his mouth.

Picked up the wine bag next to him and took a sip, with a comfortable and satisfied expression, he looked up at Qi Qi, and seemed to see that he didn't eat, so he said with a smile: "Lord Qi, there is a saying in the northwest, called 'don't panic when you have food in your stomach', if you are hungry, you will be colder." ”

Qi Qi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "We've been waiting here for so long, they should have arrived too, right?" ”

"It's coming!" Li Dong nodded and said, "Our tent can't work, and when we get to Warat, their tent won't be so cold." Although Lord Qi suffered this time, his contribution was not small. ”

Qi He continued to smile bitterly, thinking of the content of his holy decree, Qi He didn't think that his errand would go smoothly this time.

Canonized the son of the third lady, Bu He was rude as the king of Shunyi, this is to do things, after this holy decree came out, many people in the court opposed it, but it was still issued by the emperor. As a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, he went to this grassland to spread the decree, and he didn't want to take credit, just don't make trouble.

"My lord, there's a ranger!" A hundred households in armor walked in and said to Li Dong.

Stuffing the half-baked meat into his mouth, Li Dong reached out and inserted the dagger into the scabbard, stood up and said, "Let the brothers cheer up, saddle up immediately, bow and string, don't let people take us to the end." ”

"Send the scout horse out to see, if there is any change, we will withdraw, we can't put our lives on this place where birds don't."

After looking at Qi Shu, Li Dong opened his mouth and said, "Lord Qi, you are also ready, if things are not right, we will escort you back." ”

Seeing Li Dong walking out of the tent, Qi Qi didn't dare to slack off, this is not the Ming Dynasty, if you really want to make a moth die here, there is no place for you to cry out for injustice. It didn't take long for the neighing of horses to be heard outside.

Then came the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, and the whole earth seemed to tremble.

Qi Qi was nervous, but he saw that the tent curtain was lifted, Li Dong walked in from outside, glanced at Qi Qi, and said: "It's the people of Wara, Mo Rigen came with people, and he came to pick up the adults!" ”

Hearing this, Qi Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief, only then did he feel a little cold, it turned out that he was sweating from being nervous just now.

There was no departure that night, and Qi Qi also ate a little meat before going to sleep. But he didn't dare to eat more, his appetite was not very good, and if he ate too much meat, he wouldn't have to sleep at night.

After getting up early the next day, the group set off for Naturalization City.

The atmosphere along the way was quite good, but what people didn't expect was that as soon as they walked out, a pair of Warat cavalry rushed over, looking at the scale, it was more than 5,000. The cavalry ran up, just as earth-shattering.

"Array!"

What Qi Yan and Li Dong didn't expect was that there was no reaction from their side, and Mo Rigen spoke first.

I saw that the cavalry brought by Mo Rigen was rapidly deployed, and directly maintained the posture of battle, the sword was unsheathed, the bow was wound, and a posture of being ready to attack at any time. This makes the Ming side unclear, is this infighting?

Thinking of the holy decree in his chest, Qi Qi was weak for a while, could it be that something was wrong?

As a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Qi Qi was very clear about his task this time, and he also figured out the situation on Wara's side before coming. After the death of Altan Khan, the two forces of Warat fought fiercely.

One is the force headed by the three ladies, and the other is the force headed by the eldest son of Altan Khan, Huang Taiji.

In the last few years of Altan Khan, he was already terminally ill and could not be a director, and the power of the entire Warat was in the hands of the three ladies. The third lady also holds the 10,000 personal guards given to him by Altan Khan, which is the elite of the Warat elite.

Although the number is small, the combat strength is strong, and with the support of the Waraki Lagut Division, the strength is strong.

Now the difference between the three ladies is a justifiable one, and the holy decree in his arms gives the three ladies a justifiable name, and this also represents the support of the Ming Dynasty for the three ladies, and Qi Zhai is clear.

The son of the third lady, Bu He, is only eight years old, just a child, and it is not the third lady who is in charge.

You must know that Huang Taiji now occupies the righteousness, he is the eldest son of Altan Khan, the bloodline of the golden family, but with this holy decree, he is the nominal king of Shunyi, and he is also the son of Altan Khan!

Li Dong also saw that something was wrong at this time, and glanced at the deputy general beside him.

Although there were only 1,000 people brought by Li Dong this time, they were all elites of the Ming Dynasty, all cavalry, not only well-equipped, but also experienced in combat.

With Li Dong's order, the Ming army behind him also instantly opened up the formation.

"Morrigan, I need an explanation!"

Li Dong arranged his subordinates, beat the horse and came to Mo Rigen's side, and said in a deep voice: "When you arrived in the capital, my Ming Dynasty treated me with courtesy, and I was summoned by His Majesty the Ming Emperor. ”

"Now what's going on? Soldiers, envoys, are you going to war with the Ming Dynasty? ”

You must know that the Ming Dynasty is no longer the Ming Dynasty of the past, and Altan Khan was not cowardly at all when he was alive, not to mention that Altan Khan's old man is dead. With the confidence that has been fought for so many years, the Ming army has this self-confidence.

At this time, the Ming army did not dare to go out of the fortress, but they dared to fight with the Wara out of the fortress.

In July of the 39th year of Jiajing, Liu Han, the chief soldier, ordered the generals Wang Mengxia and Ma Lu to guerrilla Xu Qin, and put 53 officers such as the chief arrester and Ge Ji, and Liu Benjing to garrison, and selected 3,000 elite soldiers to lead them out of the country.

Liu Han himself, Zhao Cao, the deputy commander-in-chief, and the generals Sun Wu and Zheng Xiao also led heavy troops to arrive at Yulin Pass in three outposts to garrison as a backup, and Meng Xia and others led these 3,000 elite soldiers to march in the starry night.

The Ming army arrived at Fengzhou at dawn after a night of wild running, and immediately launched an attack on Bansheng City, but the defenders of Bansheng City were unaware and fell into chaos and collapsed in confusion.

The target of this battle was Altan Khan, and the attack was also on Altan Khan's palace, but Altan Khan was not in the palace.

The Ming army that invaded the city quickly found and entered the palace area, and then set fire to all the buildings.

These 3,000 men rushed wildly on the steppe and attacked, and the Altan Khan reinforcements who arrived later not only failed to leave these 3,000 men, but were also repulsed. It can be seen that the Ming army has the confidence of hard spirit, and Ma Fang and Altan Khan fought for several years, and Altan Khan suffered a lot of losses, which led to the later Longqing peace.

Altan Khan accepted the canonization of the Ming Dynasty and crowned the king of Shunyi, and the Ming Dynasty is now not afraid to go to war with Warat.

Listening to Li Dong's words, Mo Rigen also had a headache, he didn't expect Huang Taiji's people to come so quickly. In fact, the third lady is no longer in Naturalization City, and she has fallen out with Huang Taiji.

The third lady, with her son and the 10,000 personal guards given to her by Altan Khan, is now in Bansheng City.

Now that the two sides are saying that the situation is almost over, the three ladies have made up their minds to take the envoys of the Ming Dynasty to Bansheng City first, and Huang Taiji wants to snatch people to Guihua City. It seems that he still hasn't been able to hide from Huang Taiji, and he can't figure out that he is going to fight today.

"General Li, those are Huang Taiji's people!" Morrigan said, pointing to the other side.

Li Dongyi frowned, he was a border general, of course he knew about the bad things in Wara, but he didn't know about the falling out between the third lady and Huang Taiji. But as soon as Morrigan's words came out, he understood.

"Huang Taiji's people? What about Huang Taiji's people? Li Dong said with a calm face: "Huang Taiji's people can surround the envoys of the Ming Dynasty?" What does he want to do? ”

Mo Rigen glanced at Li Dong, he didn't know if Li Dong was awesome or pretended, but Mo Rigen knew that he couldn't let the envoys of the daimyo follow Huang Taiji's people to Naturalization City, once the person was taken away by Huang Taiji, something would happen.

After a few steps forward, Mo Rigen scolded loudly: "Who are you? Why block the way? ”

"Mo Rigen, Ben Khan is here to welcome the Ming envoy!"

As soon as the words fell, a person on the opposite side came out on horseback and said loudly, in a very unceremonious tone: "What do you want to do in the Waraki Ragut Department?" Do you want to betray Ben Khan? ”

Mo Rigen was stunned, Huang Taiji actually came in person? He didn't care about Huang Taiji's self-proclaimed Ben Khan.

"I was ordered by the third lady to pick up the Ming envoy to Bansheng City, if you want to listen to the holy decree of His Majesty the Ming Emperor, then come to Bansheng City!" Mo Rigen was not polite at all, and said directly.

"Mo Rigen, I won't talk nonsense with you, the Ming envoy must go to Naturalization City!"

Huang Taiji did not show weakness at all, and at the same time, as soon as he waved his hand, the cavalry behind him suddenly became noisy, obviously having a tendency to charge over.

Mo Rigen's face suddenly became ugly, he brought a thousand horses this time, plus Daming's thousand horses, it was only two thousand horses, and in the face of Huang Taiji's five thousand people, there was no chance of winning at all.

Besides, the people of Daming would be willing to fight this battle with Huang Taiji? Obviously impossible!

Qi Qi listened to their conversation and said directly: "General Li, you can't go on like this!" ”
