Heavy snow fell again in the land of Xuanfu. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This was the fourth day after Yi Si Ma Yin withdrew his troops to Xuanfu, and early in the morning of this day, he received the news that Shen Xi led his troops to break through the Tatar defense line outside Tumu Fort, and that the whole army of the loving general Wu Licha had been annihilated, and his life and death were unknown.

"I expected this day to happen!"

Yi Si Ma Yin didn't feel much surprised when he heard the news, in his mind, Wu Licha didn't have the strength to fight with Shen Xi at all, Shen Xi's victory was both reasonable and unexpected, mainly because he didn't expect Shen Xi to grasp the fighter so well, and the battle would be won or lost.

At this time, Ah Wulu, who had been a dewy couple with Yismain for a few days, walked into the room, handed over the hot tea brewed by himself, and said softly: "The general knows that Wu Licha is not Shen Xi's opponent, why would he leave him behind?" Isn't this a child's play for the lives of his own people? ”

Yismain raised his head and looked at Awulu, his face full of helplessness. He stretched out his hand to take the hot tea, but he didn't drink it for a long time, and after half a ring, he simply put the tea on the handsome case, and sighed softly:

"There is an old saying in the Central Plains, I don't kill Boren, Boren will die because of me...... Although Ulica is a general under my command, he has been working for the Khan in the past few years, and the soldiers and horses he led only know that there is a Great Khan, but he does not know the danger facing the current tribe. I had ordered the entire army to evacuate, but Ulica felt that it was difficult for the Great Khan to explain, and he said that he was sure that he could trap Shen Xi in Tumu Fort. Since it was his own choice, and now that the army is defeated, he can't complain about others! ”

Awulu's heart trembled, he didn't expect that the man he loved was so "ruthless and unkind", just because Ulica wanted to complete the task handed over by the Great Khan, he let him take more than 2,000 soldiers to death, you must know that Ulicha's subordinates are basically warriors of the Yismayin tribe.

"Those who achieve great things are not informal, can the Zhao envoy think that I am wrong to do this?" Sensing the change in Awulu's expression, Yi Sima looked up and asked.

A Wulu smiled slightly: "When the judgment continues, there will be trouble, the general can break the wrist of a strong man, and he will be able to achieve great things." The general acted under pressure, otherwise how could he prove to the people of the steppe that the general had indeed worked hard to fight the Ming people? It's a pity that the Ming army in the Tumu Fort suddenly got reinforcements to help, so there was such a big defeat...... The concubine is willing to stand by the general's side physically and mentally! ”

Yisima was very happy with Ah Wulu's understanding, and he was full of spirit for a while, and laughed: "Okay, the heart of the Zhao envoy can be expressed, and I am very relieved." ”

"The Ming army is really hateful, it actually destroyed the Great Khan's plan to chase the Central Plains, I should pack up my soldiers and horses, and have a good competition with the Ming army in Xuanfu......"

"This battle will definitely play the momentum of our second largest tribe in Tatar, I dare not say that it will be a complete victory, but at least it will make the Ming army jealous of our tribe, and it is easy not to dare to say anything about it."

"I know that the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty that the Great Khan wants to deal with are the last hope of the Ming court, the trilateral soldiers and horses led by Liu Daxia, the secretary of the Ming Dynasty's military department." Ah Wulu asked with some confusion, "But what about Shen Xi and his soldiers and horses in Tumu Fort?" Ignore it? ”

Yi Si Ma Yin shook his head: "There are not many soldiers and horses on that road, even if you add the cavalry of the border army of the Ming Dynasty, it is not enough to fight with the soldiers and horses of my Khan, so Zhao Envoy should be prepared...... Something, it's almost time to go! ”

There were words in the words, and after a little pondering, Awulu already understood Yismayin's intentions.

It was a fake to fight hard with the soldiers and horses led by Liu Daxia, but Yisimayin's real intention was to withdraw his troops and return to the grassland, taking advantage of the favorable opportunity of Dayan Khan Batu Munk's invasion of the rear of the Central Plains to rapidly expand his power and establish his supremacy in the grassland.

In the past, Yismain did not have this qualification, because he did not have the blood of the Golden Family, but now he has Batumunk's own son as a supporter, and he only needs to support Batumunk's young son to become the Khan King, and he can take power alone.

The youngest son of Batu Munch was the son of Awulu.

This is the main reason why Awulu and Yisima are embarrassed, because both of them feel that they are alone, once the Dayan Department rises strongly, Yisimayin, who is cooked by rabbits and dogs, will definitely not end well, and Awulu's heirs will never have the right to inherit the throne.

It's a combination of interests.

Yi Si Ma Yin sighed: "Shen Xi soldiers and horses, at this time should retreat to Juyong Pass, it is likely to encounter the soldiers and horses of Yi Bu La...... This is the most elite tribal soldiers and horses on the grassland except for the Dayan Department, if Shen Xi can win the battle, then his next step is to wave the Qin King. Haha, at that time, the Ming Jingshi was lively. ”

Ah Wulu asked, "Does Shen Xi dare to lead his troops to the capital?" The Great Khan was entangled with more than ten tribes, fighting on the plains, without the ravines and ravines outside the civil fort, Shen Xi may not have the strength to fight......"

Yi Si Ma Yin shook his head slightly: "Shen Xi's thoughts, I can't guess it, his wisdom is one of the best among the people I have seen, and I think I am inferior to him in terms of control of the battlefield and the situation...... It is not without reason that it can rise rapidly in a place like the Ming Dynasty where there is a strong talent system and a strong system. ”

"I thought that people from the Central Plains would only die studying, but I didn't expect that there would be such an outstanding genius as Shen Xi. Looking at the whole Da Ming, only he can convince me! ”

A Wulu nodded again and again, thinking in his heart: "Shen Xi is indeed unfathomable, but unfortunately he is not from the grassland and cannot be used by me, I can only commit myself to such a bad old man as Yi Si Mayin." ”

Although the two are in a cooperative relationship, and Awulu also regards Yismain as a lover and his strongest supporter, Awulu lacks respect for Yismain.

Everything is afraid of comparison, looking at the world, Yi Si Ma Yin's ability is already outstanding, and his ability to play Liu Daxia and the Ming court between applause is evident, but compared with Shen Xi, it is dwarfed.

……

……

On the afternoon of October 27, it was not a moment.

In the official office of Wenyuan Pavilion, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian gathered together to study the current situation and deploy the defense of the capital.

The previous seven-member advisory group, with the crown prince being entrusted with the important task of supervising the military and government, has no value in continuing to exist.

The seven advisers returned to their original posts, the crown prince Zhu Houzhao was in charge of the military and political affairs, the three scholars of the cabinet made the plan, Xiong Xiu, who was the squire of the military department and temporarily replaced the secretary of the army, as the conveyor and executor, and Zhang Mao, Xu Yuan, Zhang Heling and others fulfilled the obligation of leading the troops into battle......

Everything seemed chaotic at the end of the morning meeting, but after only two hours, things were in order.

After discussing the use of troops in Gyeonggi, the three of them drafted a vote on the specific functional officials appointed by the Ministry of War, and after redrawing it, they formed a written report to be submitted to Zhu Houzhao.

After the matter was discussed, Liu Jian suddenly sighed: "Binzhi, Yu Qiao, you say, why did there be such a big change in the border pass, even Zhangjiakou Fort and Xuanfu Town were lost, and there were so many beacon towers, but the news could not be accurately transmitted to the capital?" ”

Li Dongyang was silent, and Xie Qian replied: "Young Master Liu may not know, the beacon tower west of Neiguan has been damaged in many places since Yongle, and it has been repaired during the Xuande period, but then it has undergone its own changes...... The change in Jisi is caused by the poor transmission of beacons everywhere and the blockage of information. ”

Later, although Chenghua and the early years of this dynasty were repaired, the repaired beacon tower was basically a three-sided land, and the Neiguan and Xuanda lines were never valued. There is a coincidence, Di Yi soldiers and horses may be able to grasp the loopholes in my Ming defense, and the conspiracy will succeed! ”

Liu Jian was very angry: "If there is a word or phrase coming to the capital at the border pass, why did it come to this point? The Beijing division is in danger, and now with the soldiers and horses of the guards, the total number of garrison troops in the capital is only 100,000, which is less than 50% of the soldiers and horses stationed after the change of Jisi, but the soldiers and horses of Diyi have 100,000 upwards, far exceeding the soldiers and horses of Wara who invaded Middle-earth, this battle is worrying! ”

After the change of Tumubao, there were only 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers and horses in Warat, although they were elite, but the number was limited.

At that time, Yu Qian dispatched more than 220,000 soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty in the defense of the capital, and the new emperor ascended the throne.

In this war, the Mongol Khan led the soldiers and horses, gathered the major tribes of the steppe, and even the Uliangha and other tribes who had defected to the Ming Dynasty before also participated in the troops, and the total number of soldiers and horses was about 100,000 to 150,000, but the number of soldiers and horses in the Beijing Guard of the Ming Dynasty and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies was greatly reduced, and the total number was only 100,000.

Originally, it was inferior in the quality of individual soldiers, but now it is not even able to gain an advantage in quantity, and the situation is indeed very bad.

Xie Qian was a little disdainful...... Who said that there was not a single word coming from the border pass? Didn't Shen Xi'er explain the situation a long time ago? It's just that you ignore it yourself, and you think that Shen Xi is not a fool. Later, Shen Xi said that he encountered the main force of the Tatars, but you still chose not to believe it, and you have great trust in the so-called beacon tower of the imperial court.

Li Dongyang said: "The top priority at the moment is to strictly guard the gates of the city, to prevent the Tatar sentinels from entering the city, money, grain, and baggage must also be arranged in advance, the capital has been under martial law for a long time, and the people's livelihood is suffering, if you do not prepare in time, requisition and transfer the money and grain of the large families in the city, I am afraid that there will not be enough military funds for a protracted war!" ”

Liu Jian pondered that the war was about logistics, and the Tatar soldiers and horses invaded the Central Plains, and the grain and grass supply lines dragged on for a long time, which was an opportunity that could be exploited.

Li Dongyang told him about the lack of grain and grass in Daming, while Liu Jian was thinking about how to use the difficulty of supplying grain and grass in Tatar logistics.

Seeing that Liu Jian was silent, Li Dongyang looked at Xie Qian: "What does Yu Qiao think?" ”

Xie Qian shook his head: "The city has been under martial law for a long time, there is a shortage of grain and grass, and there are deficits in granaries everywhere. Now that the war is coming, if you forcibly requisition the people's food, I am afraid that the people will not be convinced, why not imitate the change of our own country, first distribute half a year's money and food with the generals, so that the army's heart is stable, and then try to fight, how about it? ”

After the change of Tumubao, Yu Qian stabilized the morale of the army and distributed the grain and grass stored in Tongzhou to the generals first, which not only cut off the risk of being looted by the Wara soldiers and horses, but also improved the morale of the army, which was a clever move made by Yu Qian.

Li Dongyang hesitated: "Is it feasible to repeat the old technique?" ”

Liu Jian nodded: "In extraordinary times, it has to be like this, so according to what Yu Qiao said, it will be implemented as usual!" ”

Just as he was about to make a decision, Xie Qian said: "This matter needs to be played by the prince, and the prince will decide!" ”
