Chapter 687: Raid on the Loop

After the Yellow River met the Loess Plateau, it turned to the north, turned a big bend in the shape of "several", and then was forced to change its course to the south by the Luliang Mountains.

At the top of the word "several", it is called the Hetao, where the water and grass are fertile, and it is plugged into the south of the Yangtze River.

When the Central Plains Dynasty was strong, the power would generally go deep into the Hetao, Qin set up Jiuyuan, Han set up Shuofang, Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, Tang set up Fengzhou, Shengzhou, Anbei Duhu, the Ming Dynasty also controlled this place for a long time, but later it was based on the Tatars.

After defeating Lin Dan Khan, the Later Jin completed the conquest of Mongol in southern Mo and took control of this region, and the Hetao became a sharp knife on the back of the Western Wei State.

At this time, in the city of Xi'an, in the yamen of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, Gao Yihuan and several generals were discussing the strategy of counterattacking the Mongols.

Gao Yihuan was wearing a dragon robe, wearing a wing crown on his head, and his hands were domineering holding the jade belt around his waist.

It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang once had a habit of lifting the jade belt to his chest, indicating that he was in a good mood. On the contrary, when his jade belt drooped below his abdomen, it showed that Lao Zhu was very unhappy, and if he wanted to go crazy, he had to slaughter someone.

Gao Yihuan doesn't have this bad problem, the jade belt is always very tired, he is mostly holding a small belly, pressing down the belt, very leader.

"The Great Wall is thousands of miles, and the feudal government can't defend it at all, so the ministers think that it is better to take the initiative to attack than to defend passively." Li Dingguo stood on the edge of the sand table and pointed to the line of the Great Wall with a wooden stick.

As soon as Zhang Xianzhong died, Li Dingguo joined the Western Wei State, and there was no obstacle and he officially became a member of the Western Wei State.

Gao Yihuan pressed his belt with both hands: "Dingguo, you will plan to talk to a few generals." ”

In discussing how to deal with the Mongols, Gao Yihuan has discussed with several major ministers and generals, and has come up with a strategy of both offense and defense.

For Li Dingguo, a general of the Western Army who joined the army halfway, joined the Wei army, and directly entered the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, becoming the right governor of the former army, many Western Wei generals were still a little dissatisfied.

However, Li Dingguo's single-handedness was gratifying, and he beheaded the Manchu king, so that although they were emotional, they couldn't have a seizure.

In addition to Li Dingguo, Wu Sangui was also made a governor, but he was completely a fictitious title to stabilize the old department of Guanning.

"King! Everyone! Li Dingguo saluted and bowed his hand, and then said: "The minister thinks that our army should use infantry troops to defend the Great Wall along the way, guard the land in the pass, so that the Mongols can not easily break through the pass, and then send elite cavalry to raid the Mongolian tribes, to attack instead of defend, kill chickens and monkeys, and let them know that my Great Wei is not easy to mess with." ”

Wei Jun was the little overlord of Zhongzhou before, and he was able to survive because of a ruthlessness that dared to play with his life.

It's like a little hooligan who doesn't take his life seriously, and at the same time despises other people's lives, others know that if they really fight, they can probably kill this little hooligan, but this turtle grandson is ruthless enough, and he may cut off one of his hands with a knife, so the vast majority of people will not provoke this little rascal.

Gao Yihuan coughed lightly and took over the conversation, "The weaker you are, the easier it is to attract more jackals to peep." Our Great Wei has a Great Wall defense line, and the Mongols can't easily get in, but their Mongolian steppe is a flat river. Our horse army attacked, attacked when it met a small tribe, and left when it met a large tribe, and when it was chased to the point of no way, it retreated into the Great Wall, and after resting, it attacked from other passes, which would surely inflict heavy losses on them, forcing them to surrender or migrate. “

Xu Heihu, Hu Dawei, Hao Shaoqi, Ma Bao, Wang Pingfan, Gao Qilong and other generals around the sand table listened carefully, and all the generals of the Wei army were gearing up, but Wang Pingfan and others were a little shocked on their faces.

Since Salhu, the army of the Central Plains has rarely taken the initiative to attack outside the pass, and they are still a little unaccustomed to it.

Gao Yihuan looked around at the crowd: "The best way for dynasties to solve border troubles is to take the initiative to attack, and the defense can only be beaten passively, and it will be eaten away by the barbarians little by little." The Han Dynasty pursued the Xiongnu and the Tang Dynasty attacked the Turks. Mongolia has already sunset, and my Great Wei is like the rising sun in the east, how can they be bullied? Xu Heihu, Hu Dawei, you prepare, the army will set off tomorrow, and sweep the tribes of Hetao before the Mongols make a move. “

Gao Yihuan didn't know what conditions Dolgon used to move Mobei Mongolia, but he knew that the reason for Mobei Mongolia to go south must be inseparable from two factors, one was profitable, and the other was that the Western Wei State could be bullied, and only by meeting these two requirements at the same time would Mongolia go south.

Thinking about this clearly, Gao Yihuan and the Western Wei State can formulate a strategy accordingly.

When Xu Heihu, Hu Dawei and the others heard this, they immediately clenched their fists solemnly, "The ministers will receive their orders!" “

Two days ago, Gao Yihuan had already reminded Hu Dawei that the army had already made preparations, and Gao Yihuan gave an order, and after the army cleaned up, they immediately advanced north.

At this time, Mongolia was mainly divided into three parts, one was the southern Mongolia and the eastern Mongolia that had taken refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty and were controlled by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the other two were mainly the northern Khalkha Mongolia and the western Mongolia.

As the Manchus grew stronger, both the Khalkha Mongols and the Moxi Mongols adopted a policy of rapprochement with the Manchus, and a long time ago, the three Khalkha tribes, Chechen Khan, Tushetu Khan, and Zasaktu Khan, sent envoys to the Qing to pay tribute to the Qing as a nominal submission.

Two years ago, Mobei Mongolia entered Koushan West and was defeated by the Qing army, which made Mobei Mongolia even more afraid of the Qing and once again expressed its submission.

However, this kind of submission is not like Southern Mongolia and Eastern Mongolia, which are completely closely integrated with the Qing Dynasty, but still maintain independence.

In November, the Hetao Plain was covered with a layer of snow, and the land was snow-white.

By this time, the Yellow River had frozen, and thousands of white tents were densely packed in a wilderness by the river, and some Mongolian herders were feeding their livestock in sheepfolds withered grass.

In the camp, Mongolian women with flushed cheeks are boiling mare's milk wine and milk tea, preparing breakfast.

Miles away, a murderous army was silently hiding behind a hillside, like a sword about to be unsheathed.

Wei pulled Ma Bao out of the clairvoyant mirror, looked at the smoke rising in the distance, took the clairvoyant mirror into his arms, and then pulled out the war knife and roared angrily, "Kill!" ”

The three thousand horsemen galloped, the horses' hooves stepped on the ground, splashing patches of white snowflakes and yellow dirt, and the knights of the Tiger Horse Army, their swords unsheathed, their war lances held horizontally, like a group of wolves pounced on the flock of sheep miles away.

The herdsmen living in the grasslands have not seen the army from the south appear on the grasslands for I don't know how many years, and they are not aware of the danger that is coming.

In the early morning, the tribe was quiet and peaceful, and in a large tent in the center of the tribe, the tribal chief was gathering several men and said in Mongolian: "This time, the three Khalkha tribes went south to Guanzhong to fight the grass valley, and we should send warriors to be guides." The king of Zasakdoro has asked our tribe to send three hundred people, and Amitai, you can take people out today. ”

Outside the camp, Ma Jun had already faintly seen the camp tent in the distance, Ma Bao pointed his long knife to the left and right, and the cavalry behind him immediately divided into three teams, one way directly to the camp, two ways to the left and right outflanking, killing the tribe composed of a thousand tents.

"Rush! Kill the Tartars! The roar of the Wei army and the trampling of the horses' hooves alarmed the Mongols, and many herdsmen in the camp mounted their horses one after another, picked up their weapons to meet them, and the men, women, and children in the tents rushed out in a hurry, and became a mess.

A small tribe, with a shortage of people, welcomed out of the Mongolian herdsmen, one after another, were cut off their horses, the air was filled with blood mist, corpses were everywhere, the snow was dyed scarlet, the scene was terrible......

The Wei army slammed into the camp, the knives flew over, the camp was full of hacked herdsmen, there were heads, stumps and bloody corpses everywhere, the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, the blood gathered into a ball, and the camp was full of miserable howls~~~
