Chapter 512 kills two birds with one stone

Sure enough, Badasi and Jirigala were both tigers and wolves, and when they heard that someone had killed Erke Kongguor Ezhe and Sutai, they advocated an immediate army to avenge them.

Luo Busan's temperament is a little older, and he hopes to discuss it with General Erdemutu of Datong Mountain, and sending troops is not a trivial matter after all.

Gao Yigong and Liu Tuanfu originally didn't care, they hadn't even seen Su Tai and Erke Kongguo Ezhe, they didn't have any feelings, they would die if they died, and it would be more convenient to be in charge of the Tiger Cavalry, but they didn't think of revenge.

However, they had all been instructed by Li Zicheng in advance, and they were even more radical than Badasi during the meeting, and they were eager to immediately send troops to break the robbers' corpses into pieces, kill all the strong men, and rob all the women, cattle, sheep, and property to Yonggu City as a punishment for the rebels.

Badasi was originally just filled with righteous indignation, and when he heard that there were still women and property, a greedy light suddenly flashed in his pair of tricks, and he glanced at Jirigala and resolutely demanded that the murderer be severely punished, otherwise, it would be disrespectful to Lin Dan Khan and all the previous Khans of the Chahar Department.

Jirigala had always been close to Badassi, and even criticized Lobusan as incomplete, accusing him of waging his tail and begging for mercy from his enemies, and that he was not worthy of being the civil servant of Yonggu City.

Li Zicheng is the Khan of Destiny, and now he has taken over the Chahar Ministry, and he is also quite annoyed by the killing of Erke Kongol, Ezhe and Sutai.

In the end, Gao Yigong, as the commander of the Tiger Cavalry, stood up and spoke, "Dare to offend the Chahar Department and offend the Tiger Cavalry, although it is far away, you will be punished!" ”

Seeing that the crowd was excited, Rob Sang became a minority in the venue, so he quickly closed his mouth and obediently became a lamb of silence#.

The meeting ended quickly, and as Li Zicheng expected, the result was that the Chahar troops would do their best to avenge Sutai and Erke Kongol.

Li Zicheng assured those attending the meeting that Li Jibu, who was stationed in Lanzhou, and Li Guobu, who was stationed in Luyang County, would give full assistance to the tiger cavalry and the wolf cavalry.

For the Mongols, revenge was more of a front, and they needed an excuse, an excuse to slaughter and plunder other tribes.

Li Zicheng just provoked the murderous factor in the blood of the Mongols, anyway, both sides of the battle were Mongols, and it didn't matter who was killed or injured.

The Mongols inside and outside the city of Yonggu have been incited as early as the time of mourning, although Sutai and Erke Konggol Ezhe defected and left the city of Yonggu without permission, but after all, they are the people of the Chahar Department, they are the relatives of Lin Dan Khan, they made mistakes and should be punished internally, and the outsiders killed them, not only to the contempt of the Chahar Department, but also to the insult to the Chahar Department!

After the meeting, Li Zicheng first sent an order to Li Ji and Li Guo, asking them to immediately inquire about the information, and the army approached the place where Erke Kongguo Ezhe had an accident, and then sent a message to the Erdemutu Feige in Datong Mountain, ordering him to take all the cavalry and rush to Liangzhou to converge.

Yonggu City was also agitated, and Gao Yigong, with the assistance of Badasi and Jirigala, sent a military order to the surrounding herdsmen: All strong men must rush to Yonggu City within three days to converge.

On the bank of the Shiyang River in the northeast of Liangzhou City, thousands of Mongolian cavalry are waiting for the battle, the original royal flag of Lin Dan Khan, has now been replaced by the Kyushu flag of the Heavenly Mandate Army, Gao Yigong and Erdemutu are standing at the forefront of the two teams, their minds have already passed through the border wall in the north.

Li Zicheng took Namu Zhong and personally saw off the tiger cavalry and wolf cavalry.

He jumped off his horse, took the tiger head military flag and the wolf head military flag sent by He Xiaomi, held a flag in each hand, faced the morning sun, and walked slowly for a few steps.

Gao Yigong and Erdemutu hurriedly jumped off their horses and greeted them.

"General Gao, General Erdemutu, Tiger Cavalry and Wolf Cavalry, I will hand it over to you," Li Zicheng handed over the unique military flags of the two cavalry to them, "There are many deserts outside the Fortress, and this is the first battle out of the Fortress, no matter what the victory or defeat, you must bring the brothers back." ”

Li Zicheng is not pretending, in the vast outside the fortress, there is no cavalry, it is difficult to conquer, he only has this seed of the grassland cavalry in his hands, and he still expects them to become a big thing, the first expedition outside the fortress, must not be too bad to lose the army.

"Yes, Grand Duke!" Gao Yigong and Erdemutu both knelt down on one knee and took the military flag with both hands.

"Along the Shiyang River, out of the side wall, General Gao went out to the northeast, followed the east of the Yibula Mountain, and then turned west, and when he returned, he returned along the west of the Yibula Mountain," Li Zicheng handed over the self-made marching sketch to Gao Yigong and Erdemutu, "General Erdemutu first went west, and then turned to the northwest, until the weak water was weak." ”

"My subordinates understand!" Both bowed hand in hand.

"On this expedition, you have no reinforcements and no supplies," Li Zicheng returned the salute to the two, "Everything can only depend on yourself," after a pause, he said: "However, the purpose of this expedition is revenge, and seventy percent of all the gains belong to you." ”

Erdemutu muttered in a low voice: "It's a pity that we have too few war horses and too many belongings, I'm afraid we can't transport them back......"

Gao Yigong said with a smile: "Out of the side wall, will there still be a lack of war horses?" ”

Li Zicheng smiled faintly, and cast an approving look at Gao Yigong, this kid, who had just taken over the Tiger Cavalry, was well versed in the way of plunder, and he cultivated it with his own heart, he waved his hand to the two, "You guys be careful, I'm waiting for you to return in Liangzhou City!" ”

Gao Yigong and Erdemutu had already gone out of the side wall, and the tiger and wolf cavalry had already gone far, so Li Zicheng turned his horse's head and slowly returned to Liangzhou City.

He just asked He Xiaomi's flying geon to pass the book to Guo Shijun, and then rushed into the study, staring at the marching map drawn by himself in a daze.

This map, although not very accurate, took a lot of effort on Li Zicheng's part, and it can be said that he has been preparing this map since he decided to avenge Erke Kongguoer Ezhe and Su Tai.

The knowledge of later generations is really lacking, he only knows that the place where Gao Yigong and Erdemutu conquered is called Alxa Right Banner, and there is a huge desert in it, called Badain Jaran Desert, which is already the edge of the Great Gobi, and after this Gobi, it is the Mongolia of later generations, and in this era, it is the Mobei where the Mongols live.

The only trace that can be found on the map of the Ming Dynasty is the Yibula Mountain, and other than that, the map is almost blank.

Since it is the edge of the Gobi, and is divided by the Badain Jaran Desert, it is impossible to appear a large area of pastures, although there are Mongolian tribes nomadic here, the number should not be too much, Gao Yigong, Erdemutu two cavalry, has more than 4,000, the victory itself has no suspense, the key is after the war.

Shall this land be left in a state of desolation?

No way! Li Zicheng immediately rejected this idea, the nomadic tribes were pervasive, and once this place became terra nullius, it would soon be occupied by the nomads on the periphery, and it would still be an enemy to the Mandate of Heaven.

Can this place be placed under the jurisdiction of the Providence Army? It would be even better if it could become the pasture of the Mandate Army!

Li Zicheng originally framed the Mongols here to kill Erke Kongguor Ezhe and Sutai, mainly to arouse the hatred of the Mongols, and then strengthen his control over the Chahar Mongols through war and plunder, but at this time he had a new idea.

The Alxa Right Banner happens to be the northern barrier of Liangzhou and Ganzhou, and if it can be placed under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Mandate Army, then the entire Hexi Corridor will also have a strategic buffer place, and the Li Jibu stationed here will also be able to free up their hands and participate in the battle with the imperial court in the future.

But Li Zicheng didn't know anything about the topography, landform, and population of the Alxa Right Banner, so he had no choice but to let Guo Shijun come over, Guo Shijun originally studied history, maybe he had a deeper understanding of this land.

After receiving the flying pigeon message sent by He Xiaomi, Guo Shijun rushed to Liangzhou non-stop, and finally rushed to Liangzhou Mansion on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival.

He Xiaomi served the tea and took it out, Namu Zhong knew that Li Zicheng and Guo Shijun had important matters to negotiate, so he simply took his adopted daughter Li Shuji out for a walk.

There are only two people left in the hall of Xingyuan, Li Zicheng and Guo Shijun, and there is millet guarding the door, and the two of them can sigh carefully.

Li Zicheng and Guo Shijun exchanged a few words, and then couldn't wait to say their confusion, only in front of Guo Shijun, he recovered his appearance as an ordinary person, no longer need to pretend to be a god, Guo Shijun is the only person who knows his details.

Guo Shijun carefully looked at the marching sketch drawn by Li Zicheng, took the marching map of the Ming Dynasty and compared it for a while, touched his nose with his hand, and pretended to say: "It's not impossible for the Metropolitan Governor to want the land outside the fortress, but the tiger cavalry and the wolf cavalry go out of the side wall to take revenge, and the entire Alxa Right Banner is probably going to become a barren land......"

"Then, according to Shijun, can the Heavenly Mandate Army still be effectively controlled?" Li Zicheng couldn't wait, he had been restless for the past few days, just waiting for Guo Shijun to solve his doubts.

"The Metropolitan Governor wants to control this land and protect the Hexi Corridor, and his subordinates have a way," Guo Shijun swallowed two sips of tea, and said: "To the west of the Alxa Right Banner, that is, to the north of the Horsehair Mountain, there must be Mongolian nomads, as long as they move some of them out of the pastures of the Alxa Right Banner and manage them, they can achieve their goal." ”

But will they migrate? How can they accept the jurisdiction of the Mandate of Heaven? Li Zicheng has always been assertive, but in front of Guo Shijun, he seems to have resumed his identity as a primary school student.

"Strength, in front of the nomadic tribes, in addition to absolute strength, there will be no second way," Guo Shijun drew two routes in the north and south on the marching map with his hand, "Move east along these two routes, and then simply control this area together, I'm afraid they will be busy for a while." ”

Li Zicheng was overjoyed, in this way, the entire northern edge of the Hexi Corridor would become a strategic buffer for the control of the Heavenly Mandate Army, "Shijun's idea is good, just kill two birds with one stone," paused, and said: "Shijun used to study Mongolian history?" ”
