Chapter 498: A Thousand Miles Rush
One thing Dan Zhen Wangbo guessed correctly, that is, Gushi Khan did lead troops into Tibet.
But there are also things that Dan Zhen Wangbo didn't guess, that is, Gushi Khan had already felt the threat from the direction of Daming, so he had to want to switch to Qinghai-Tibet, and after coming, he didn't plan to leave.
Tubo, like Mongolia, has been a place for elite soldiers since ancient times, and the huge Mongolian steppe in the east has almost all been under the control of the Ming army.
Lin Dan Khan, the Twelve Coalition Forces of Inner and Outer Khalkha, Horqin and other steppe tribes fell under the iron hooves of the Ming army, and Gushi Khan was not sure that he could fight against the Ming Dynasty army alone, so in order to strengthen his strength and protect himself, he had to bring the Qinghai-Tibet region under his rule.
After years of mergers and expansions, there are no less than 200,000 people in the Erlut department, and Gushi Khan selected 80,000 elites to accompany him into Tibet, leaving more than 100,000 troops to protect the tribe.
Not only that, Gushi Khan also sent a large number of scouts to the east to monitor the movement in the direction of Tsahanhot at any time.
After arranging everything, 80,000 iron horsemen slaughtered towards Tibet, and when Gushi Khan sent troops into Tibet, the envoy of Dan Zhen Wangbo had not yet arrived, but Gushi Khan knew that Ye Xun had entered Tibet.
Gushi Khan and Ye Xun both supported the Yellow Sect, so Gushi Khan's dispatch of troops this time was more of a deterrent than a real war with the Ming Dynasty.
For a time, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was turbulent, and the heroes gathered...
The eyes of the Mongolian tribes such as Gushi Khan were always focused on the Ming army in Chahanhot, but no one noticed that an iron cavalry composed of 20,000 Liaodong troops had been sleeping overnight along the inner side of the Great Wall, and secretly lurked in Jiayuguan.
Outside Jiayu Pass has long been the world of the Mongols, but several emperors of the last Ming Dynasty have never stopped repairing Jiayu Pass, obviously still want to rely on this Great Wall to block the Mongols.
The best defense is always offense, and the Ming army was not capable of it in the past, but since Ye Xun's rise in Liaodong, it has the ability to implement this active defensive strategy again.
After receiving Ye Xun's order, Sun Chuanting sent people to make a noise, but secretly asked Ye Xun again to transfer troops from Liaodong and launch a surprise attack on the Erut Department for thousands of miles, so as to completely eliminate the Mongolian resistance force remaining in the western steppe.
Sun Chuanting's idea can be said to have corrected Ye Xun's appetite.
There is no one in the world, only no one in the world, only no one in the world; Don't suffer from not knowing people, but suffering from knowing people without using them.
In another time and space, Sun Chuanting is a generation of famous generals, and the chemical effect produced by the combination with Ye Xun in this time and space can only be described as invincible.
The army was led by He Shixian, who was known for his calmness, with the fierce general Cao Bianjiao and He Guangxian of the dare battalion.
There are not many soldiers, and the Liaodong Army can be called the most elite and well-equipped army in the world, and at the same time, it is calculated or unintentional, so whether it is Ye Xun or Sun Chuanting, they are confident that they can win this battle.
Maybe many people in the Erut Department will not understand, our people have never provoked the Ming army, why did the Ming army come to fight us?
This question seems to be easy to answer, when the Central Plains Dynasty was weak, it also did not provoke the northern nomads, why did those nomads invade the Central Plains?
There is a cause and there must be an effect, this is an era when the strong are respected, and the truth is only within the strong force.
On the night of the third day when Gushi Khan led his army to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, 20,000 Liaodong troops descended from the sky and suddenly attacked Yili Bari, where the court of Erut was located.
Suddenly, the soldiers and civilians of the Erut tribe were caught off guard and only held out for a moment before they dispersed.
These Liaodong soldiers were all predators who had dealt with the Jurchens, and they didn't know what mercy was, but they would kill anyone who resisted.
The killing, which lasted for nearly a night, only killed the corpses of the Erut tribes all over the field, the blood flowed like rivers, more than 100,000 troops, hundreds of thousands of people, and less than tens of thousands of people fled.
After clearing the battlefield at dawn, the army was divided into two, and He Shixian led 10,000 troops to escort the prisoners to Jiayuguan.
The captives were to be sent to Liaodong in batches, and some of the younger and strongest were to be sent to labor camps to participate in road construction and mining projects.
He Guangxian and Cao Bianjiao led the rest of the men and horses to lurk on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau on the way back to the grassland.
This battle will not give Gushi Khan any chance to turn around, and the Erut Department will also be completely wiped out from the steppe.
Three days is enough time for a lot to happen.
Gushi Khan's command was full of cavalry, and he was in a hurry, hoping to reach Jalan Sa before Ye Xun arrived, so he ran out of nearly a thousand miles in three days, so that the men who escaped from Yilibari wanted to catch up with the report, and it was only on the fifth day after the two horses were exhausted that they caught up with Gushi Khan's brigade.
But what the messenger didn't expect was that the anxious Gushi Khan actually led 5,000 of his men and rushed to Jalan Sa first...
The Fourth Dalai Lama sent 3,000 men to meet Ye Xun, and after welcoming Ye Xun into Jalan Sa, he surprisingly did not see Ye Xun immediately.
Ye Xun and Sun Chuanting have always had an exchange of eagle letters, and they have already learned about what happened in Yili Bari, and Gushi Khan naturally knows about the fact that Gushi Khan went to Jalan Sa one step ahead of him, so he is not surprised that the Fourth Dalai Lama did not see him immediately.
The Fourth Dalai Lama did not see Ye Xun, but Du Song Mangbu, the envoy of Dan Zhen Wangbo, secretly found Ye Xun.
Ye Xun has seen a lot of people of all kinds, and he knows that it will not be long before the Fourth Dalai Lama and the Fifth Dalai Lama will find him again.
At night on the plateau, the sound of the cold wind blowing through the streets is like a ghost howling from hell, which makes people shudder.
There are almost no people on the streets of Jalan Sa, and Ye Xun relies on his profound internal strength, so he has not been affected much.
Walking through the streets and looking at the lights of the Potala Palace in the distance, which seems to be in mid-air, is also interesting.
Du Song Mangbu was about to hate Ye Xun to death, he thought that it was time for Ye Xun, Ye Xun was like a convulsion, he had to come out for a walk, there was no way, for the mission on his body, he could only stand up.
After walking for a while, Du Song Mangbu couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help but say: "Father-in-law, father-in-law, let's, let's go back and talk!" ”
Ye Xun turned his head to look at him, and said lightly: "Zangba Khan's intentions, my father already knows, if you want to cooperate with your father, you have to show sincerity, tomorrow at noon, this father will set up a banquet for him outside the city, as long as he is willing to come, everything will be easy to say."
Ye Xun's condition is really a bit embarrassing, because although Dan Zhen Wangpo also lives in Jalan Sa, Jalan Sa is also divided into east and west cities, half of which is under the control of the Gelug sect, and the other half is under the jurisdiction of Tan Zhen Wangbo.
The people of the Gelug sect are okay to say, but Gushi Khan's 5,000 Mongolian iron cavalry is a huge threat to Dan Zhen Wangbo and others, and Ye Xun's attitude is still unclear, who dares to guarantee that Ye Xun is not going to deceive Dan Zhen Wangbo and cause harm?
Seeing that Du Song Mangbu hesitated, Ye Xun continued: "Please go back!" Other than that, I don't want to say anything more"...
