Chapter 154: Fierce General
Ye Xun and his entourage were all cavalry, and the marching speed was extremely fast, if it wasn't for a break halfway, the messenger wouldn't have been able to catch up at all.
And the reason why Ye Xun stopped was to wait for news from Li Guangrong, the general soldier of Guangning, because he asked Li Guangrong to send a guide.
When leaving Liaoyang, Chai Guozhu once took a map to Ye Xun, but the location marked on that map was extremely vague, and it was many years ago.
In order not to run the wrong way, Ye Xun could only let Li Guangrong send a guide, which gave the messenger a chance to catch up with him.
Looking at this urgent report, Ye Xun couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
In the art of war, there has always been a saying about fiction and reality, and Nurhachi is a person who is very good at using soldiers, otherwise he would not be where he is today.
According to normal thinking, Nurhachi's operation with Yehe is the most correct strategy for the Jurchens at present, but if Nurhachi's fight against Yehe is fake, and the real purpose is Tieling, then the problem is serious, and Tieling can be defended to this day, which can be said to be completely supported by Ye Xun.
And Nurhachi obviously saw that Ye Xun was not in Tieling, so he came up with a trick.
This can also be said to be a very obvious plan, if he holds on to Tieling, Nurhachi will let go of the Yehebu and then destroy them all.
If Ye Xun led his troops to rescue Ye He, Tieling would inevitably be empty, or he would be surrounded by Nurhachi to help, you must know that the Ming army is still far behind the Jurchen army in field warfare.
After pondering for a long time, a smile suddenly flashed at the corner of Ye Xun's mouth, beckoned the messenger, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, when you go back, you will go to Master Cheng to receive five hundred taels of silver, this is my reward for you."
The messenger never expected that he would send a letter in a hurry, and the Ye Gong Guild would give him such a big reward, and he wouldn't say anything when he was excited, just kowtowed vigorously.
"Father-in-law Xie, Gonggong Xie's reward"
Ye Xun ordered someone to take a pen and paper, quickly wrote a few orders, and then stamped his own seal, carefully packed it and handed it to the messenger.
"Give these edicts directly to Master Cheng, there are my orders on them, be sure to deliver them as quickly as possible"
"Father-in-law, rest assured, the villain is tired to death, and he will never delay his father-in-law's big event"
The messenger kowtowed heavily to Ye Xun again before he got up and jumped on the war horse again, turned the horse's head and whipped away.
Cao Bianjiao said worriedly: "Father-in-law, why don't you go back!" You still have to be in charge of the overall situation on the Tieling side! ”
Ye Xun smiled slightly and said, "Tieling will be fine." The old slave is the best at playing with you coming a few ways, and I only go all the way, so let's learn from him this time."
Cao Bianjiao is a person who doesn't like to use his brains, and after listening to Ye Xun's words, he couldn't help scratching his head and said, "We have entered the grassland, and we are getting farther and farther away from the Jurchen tribe, how can we fight them?" Why don't we raid Lin Dan Khan and then raid Nurhachi? ”
"Hey, hey! Although we can't reach the whip, isn't your uncle still idle? ”
When Ye Xun said this, Cao Bianjiao suddenly understood, and said happily: "Didn't my father-in-law want my uncle to attack Hetuala?" That's not right! Uncle doesn't have so many people, I'm afraid he won't be able to beat the Tartar's lair, right? ”
Ye Xun smiled slightly, but didn't answer him, Qi Bingzhong brought back more than 10,000 people, and at the same time transferred some troops in Shenyang, and this force didn't really want to fight Hetuala, as long as it could involve the Jurchen army and dare not let go to fight Ye He's department.
In fact, there is still an idea in Ye Xun's heart, that is, to let Nurhachi's army pinch Ye Hebu for a while, and when the two are defeated and injured, it will be the time for the Ming army to rescue Ye Hebu.
This idea is too dark to say to a person like Cao Bianjiao, who has a single intestine to the end.
While pondering, a rapid sound of horses' hooves came from a distance, and when he looked up, he saw a man and a horse galloping towards this side.
There was no need to order, Ye Xun had already had a scout on his side to greet him, and there was not much time, so he saw the scout leading a stout man back.
I saw that this man was not tall, with big ears on the long side, a thick black beard covering half of his face, and two small eyes that were extremely bright.
There was no need to ask, Ye Xun saw that this was a Mongolian man, and he couldn't help but wonder, Li Guangrong should be able to guess what he was going to do, but why did he send a Mongolian?
Before Ye Xun could ask, the person who came knelt down like a jade pillar pushing the golden mountain, and shouted in his mouth: "The last general is full of Gui, meet Grandpa Ye, and ask Grandpa Ye to take him in."
Mangui? This person is actually full of gui!
Hearing this name, Ye Xun was pleasantly surprised, this Man Gui was a fierce general in the late Ming Dynasty, and although he was a Mongolian, he was loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and he had always been a person that Ye Xun admired very much.
But I don't know how he came to him, and he kept saying that he would take him in, would he still be homeless?
Ye Xun didn't know that the reason why Man Gui came to him was because Man Gui had met a nobleman, and this nobleman was none other than Yang Hao, the culprit who led to Salhu's defeat.
To say that Yang Hao has no ability at all, it seems that he has wronged him a little, at least he didn't misunderstand Man Gui.
Before being taken away by the Jinyi Guard, Lord Yang, who lacked a string in his head, recommended Man Gui to the imperial court.
If Yang Hao did not have the defeat of Salhu, it would be normal to recommend talents for the imperial court, and the recommended people could also be reused, but the problem was that Yang Hao was smashed.
At this time, Ye Xun made a lot of trouble in Liaodong, and compared the two compartments, he suddenly compared Yang Hao to nothing, so Emperor Wanli waved his pen and cut Yang Hao first, and then liquidated the people who had a relationship with him, and Man Gui was one of them.
It can be said that because of the appearance of Ye Xun, history has been completely messed up.
On the other hand, Man Gui admired Ye Xun very much, and when he was by Li Guangrong's side, he knew that Ye Xun was looking for a guide, so he immediately took the initiative to invite Ying to come.
Listening to what Man Gui said, Ye Xun couldn't help laughing, people's luck is coming, they really can't even stop the city wall, they have been begging for the fierce general, but they don't want the fierce general to take the initiative to find it today.
He didn't hesitate at the moment, and after briefly explaining the purpose of this trip to Man Gui, he asked: "This operation must be fast, accurate, and ruthless, can General Man be sure to take us straight into Lin Dan Khan's tooth tent?" ”
Man Gui is obviously also a belligerent goods, after listening to Ye Xun's words, his little eyes couldn't help flashing with excitement, and said: "Father-in-law, don't worry, Lin Dan Khan's tooth tent is the most recognizable, but the last general thinks that the best time for our raid is the time when the Lin Dan Khan tribe has a meal, so that the best effect can be achieved."
"From here on, we will enter the territory of the Chahars, we must be careful, and if necessary, we can also change into Mongol clothes"
Listening to Man Gui's words, Ye Xun nodded secretly, very good, this Man Gui seems to be rude, but his mind is very fine, and he is stronger than Cao Bianjiao in this regard.
"From now on, we are General Man's subordinates, and we will do what you say."
