Under the cover of Zhang Lun, Chen Tao continued to look north for King Ning's army with a messenger. Two days later, he had just over a thousand men left, and in order to eliminate the pursuers behind him, he suffered more than 700 casualties, and in addition to abandoning all the seriously wounded. But he still didn't catch up with King Ning.

At this time, King Ning was in a state of euphoria, because the forward Buwan had broken two rangers in a row, and according to the captives, at the time of Yingchang, the Mongol army charged to protect the younger brother of the Mongol Great Khan, Harguchuk, and the princess Honggaowa, at this time, Halguchuk had fled to the fishing sea, and the Mongol Great Khan Erlebok was now hunting near the fishing sea. The captives advised King Ning to march quickly, otherwise the Khan would inevitably retreat when Kharguchuk informed the Great Khan, and there were not many people around the Great Khan at this time, only more than 10,000 cavalry.

King Ning trembled with excitement, every cell was full of excitement, and his young eyes were full of desire, I want to catch the Mongolian Great Khan and repeat the great victory of fishing in the sea, I want to prove that I am stronger than King Yan, stronger than Lan Yu, and I Zhu Quan is the number one general in the world...... Looking at King Ning's excited appearance, Guo Ying was a little worried, and said to King Ning: "Lord Wang, our army has been out of the fortress for more than 2,000 miles, and it has been marching rapidly for more than ten days, and the soldiers are very tired and need to rest, otherwise once they encounter the enemy, the soldiers will not be able to protect the prince due to lack of physical strength." ”

"Protection?" King Ning's eyes widened, and then he sneered: "Old Marquis, are you really old, can't my 50,000 iron cavalry beat 10,000 Mongolian cavalry?" Have you been fighting for many years and have become less courageous? ”

Guo Ying said: "Lord, everything we know is told by the captive, what if what he says is false?" What if it's a trap? ”

Ning Wang paused for a moment, pressed his eyebrows, and said helplessly: "Old general, do the captives still dare to lie to us?" The king ordered in front of them that if there was a change, the captives would be killed first, and now they have not changed their confessions, which is true, are they not afraid of death? ”

Guo Ying was a little speechless, like a tiger trapped in a cage, with nowhere to do it, so he had to hold the reins of King Ning's horse and said: "Lord, no matter what the enemy is, as long as our army has sufficient physical strength, it can be defeated, so I hope that the prince will let the army rest and set off again." ”

At this moment, the forward Bu Wan came to report that he had broken the counterattack of the third wave of the Mongolian army, captured the maid of the Mongolian princess Hong Gaowa, and a portrait of Hong Gaowa. King Ning couldn't help laughing: "Look, old general, the younger brother of the Mongol Great Khan is in front, as long as we persist, we will definitely be able to catch the Mongol Great Khan." ”

After Bu Wan sent Hong Gaowa's maid, King Ning inquired in detail about the situation of the Mongolian army, and the result was the same as what the captives said, King Ning looked back at Guo Ying proudly, and then opened Hong Gaowa's scroll casually, King Ning was stunned all of a sudden, there is such a beautiful woman in the world? It's still a Mongol. When he confirmed with Hong Gaowa's maid that Hong Gaowa was ten thousand times more beautiful than in the painting, and was just in front, King Ning became even more excited, and I wanted to catch her and leave her in my palace......

King Ning ordered the army to advance at the same time, and it was necessary to capture Erlebok on the shore of Yuerhai Lake. Guo Ying, Chen Heng, Liu Zhen, Wu Jie and others persuaded King Ning bitterly, but King Ning was unmoved, and even said: "If you are afraid, you can go back, this king will go alone, and he will also destroy the Golden Family." ”

Everyone had no choice but to follow King Ning north. King Ning took his generals and 5,000 cavalry to chase after Buwan.

At this time, Chen Tao encountered Duo Yanwei's attack, almost all the troops were wiped out, and the secret decree carried by the messenger Zhang Yang was taken away by Duo Yan Wei. Although Chen Tao and Zhang Yang tried their best to explain that they were messengers of the Ming Dynasty, they were still detained, saying that they would see King Ning before they would find out.

Chen Tao and Zhang Yang found out that something was wrong, but they could only pretend to be deceived and secretly waited for an opportunity to escape.

Fu Youde's army went north, with Qu Neng and Zhang Lun as the vanguard. Qu Neng arrived in Yingchang on 22 February and immediately launched an attack on Esehei. Seeing that the situation was not good, Qu Neng only captured a few prisoners, and the highest rank was only centurion, and their knowledge was limited. According to the captives, they were the Warats, led by the son of Uhaqi, the great chief of the Warat. As for the overall situation of the Warat army, they do not know. They had previously reconnoitred on the periphery of Suiyuan with the Asuut Division, and under the blow of the Suiyuan Army, the Asut Division retreated to Wuchuan, and they retreated to Jining. After that, he was driven to Yingchang by the Datong garrison until he was captured.

After Fu Youde received Qu Neng's report, his face was solemn, the Mongols had been planning for a long time, and King Ning was young and vigorous, and he would inevitably suffer a big defeat if he advanced alone. Fu Youde didn't expect anything else now, only hoped that King Ning was still alive when he arrived, otherwise there would be no point in going out of the fortress this time.

Ten days later, Fu Youde received a second report from Qu Neng, in which he said that Qu Neng had encountered some Ming army routs, and after identification, they were Chen Tao's subordinates who had gone north with the messenger Zhang Yang. According to their accounts, they were suddenly attacked by Duoyanwei, and the whole army was annihilated, and the whereabouts of Chen Tao and Zhang Yang are unknown, as for the number of Duoyanwei's army, they are not clear, and it is estimated that it is tens of thousands.

Fu Youde judged from experience that the number of cavalry of the Wuliang Ha Sanwei was more than 30,000, and they should be blocking reinforcements and messengers now. So at this time, there was no other way, Fu Youde called Wang Bi and ordered him to lead 10,000 cavalry, join forces with Qu Neng, move forward with all his might, break through the Wuliang Habu, catch up with King Ning's army, and let the army defend on the spot and wait for rescue. He led the Chinese army to advance steadily and maintain physical strength, and this army would be the main force that would eventually break through the encirclement of the Mongol army.

Yuerhai is the later Bear Lake, which is located on the southwestern edge of the Hulunbuir Prairie, and the Halaha River flows from east to west and flows into Bear Lake; There is also a lake in the north of Bear Lake, called Hulun Lake, which is connected by a river between Bear Lake and Hulun Lake, and the name of the river is Wuersun River. The Halaha River is also the source of the name of what later generations called Khalkha Mongolia.

At this time, on the north bank of the Haraha River, there was a white tent, and the middle tent was huge, which was the camp of the Mongol Great Khan Elbok Khan. Erlebok's face was full of displeasure at this time, and he would ask the attendant at every turn: "Has Halguchuk returned?" So far, the squire has only replied, "No." ”

Those who did not know the inside story thought that Elbok Khan was worried about the safety of his younger brother who personally lured the enemy, because when Harguchuk was arranged to lure the enemy, Erbok Khan strongly objected, did not hesitate to slap the table, and even left the big tent. Although Uhaqi held great power, he could not force the prince of the Golden Family to take risks, so things were frozen there, and in the end, it was Halguchuk who took the initiative to invite Ying to take on the task of luring the enemy, and of course the princess Hong Gaowa, who was blended with his beloved honey, also had to follow. However, the Great Khan's favorite retainer Haohai Dayu knew that the Great Khan was worried about Hong Gaowa's safety and that his brother and daughter-in-law would have something missing.

Therefore, whether it is King Ning or Fu Youde, the information obtained is true, Harguchuk is in front, and Elbok Khan is indeed fishing in the sea.

The guards around Elberk Khan have all been transferred, and it is the Asuth Department who is still in Suiyuan. Now his guards are all subordinates of Uhaqi, the great leader of Warat. So Uhaqi's camp was on the left rear of Elberk Khan. At this time, he was entertaining an important guest, a person who single-handedly planned the Mingyuan War.
