The military meeting in Fengzhou was held as scheduled, and Li Yu announced to everyone that the Great Commander's Office intended to send troops to Jinguo, and the battalion officers and guards immediately cheered, and then they stood up one after another to ask for battle, which frightened Jin Sheng and Liu Wenzhong, who were sitting in danger.

Waiting for everyone to calm down, Prime Minister Li Huai reported and analyzed the information collected by the Titang Division to everyone: the northwest failed to appease the gods, and the thief rebelled, in September, the emperor was furious and ordered to arrest the trilateral governor Yang He to enter Beijing to ask for the crime, and the Hong Chengchou who advocated the suppression of thieves took over as the governor of the three sides, the northwest will surely rise again, a large number of Shaanxi thieves are cornered, crossing the Yellow River into Shanxi is their best choice, and once the Shanxi and Shaanxi refugees merge, the stable situation we have worked so hard to create in Shanxi will be broken, Perhaps the situation in Shanxi will deteriorate this winter and next spring, and it may affect Henan, while Shandong will also have a drought this year, and if the drought expands next year, it will be difficult to ensure that there will be no chaos. ”

"Shanxi has more people and less land, food is insufficient, and it relies on the supply of grain from Shandong and Henan to supplement the insufficiency, if there is chaos in Shandong and Henan, it will inevitably make Shanxi worse, and Shanxi is our backyard, and we must not let Shanxi erode, so our eyes are mainly on Shanxi, and if necessary, we will enter Shanxi again to quell the chaos," Li Huai's expression was serious, and he stood up and continued, "This time the imperial court ordered us to rescue the Daling River, we can't fail to obey the edict, but we don't have the time and strength to fight for a long time, This dispatch cannot exceed two months. ”

"We got the news, the Jin army used six Hongyi cannons to attack the Daling River, and more than 50 general cannons, which is unprecedented, obviously the chieftain is determined to take the Daling River, the Jin army is too strong for our army to resist, we can only attack its flank, lead the enemy back to help, so as to reduce the pressure on the Daling River, once the Jin army returns to help must immediately withdraw the troops, and must not fall in love with the war," Liu Xingzuo informed everyone of the news brought by Tu Lichen, and then said solemnly to Jin Sheng and Liu Wenzhong: "At the beginning of this year, the Jin Kingdom was successfully founded" Heaven bless the general cannon', this cannon weighs about 5,000 catties, can hit more than 10 catties of iron, before I left the Jin country, they also picked up a copper cannon on the coast of Liaodong Sea, named 'Zhenguo Longwei General Cannon', plus the capture of the Ming army's 'Luzon cannon' in Liaoyang, Jin may currently have about ten Hongyi cannons, they have built the 'Wuzhen Chao Ha Army', that is, the heavy army that uses artillery, composed of the Han army commanded by Tong Yangxing, the imperial court no longer has any advantage in Liaoxi! ”

"Attacking the city with artillery is more effective than defending the city, I'm afraid the Daling River can't hold it!" Li Yu couldn't help but interject, he suddenly remembered that he was discussing artillery with Sibeile in Shenyang - artillery is a weapon that is more conducive to attack, and the Ming Kingdom really shouldn't put this thing on the city to show off, Sibeile is greedy, and the consequences are very serious.

Jin Sheng and Liu Wenzhong's faces turned pale, and they lowered their heads and said nothing-the Jin army had the Hongyi cannon, and surrounded Zu Dashou and the elite of the Guanning army in the Daling River, what advantage can the Ming Dynasty have in Liaoxi after this battle? Shrink your head and wait to be beaten.

The officers of Fengzhou don't care, Fengzhou has always advocated field warfare, there is no city to defend, and there is no intention of attacking anyone's city, so the madman will drag four or five thousand pounds of guys to run around on the grassland, Ma Guangyuan opened his mouth to speak, but quickly closed it again - forget it, we can't afford to play with the Hongyi cannon, let's use the Franc machine first.

Li Yu waved his hand, and Mo Rige and Wu Xian hung a huge map on the wall - this was a map of the Monan grassland, or was it drawn by Na Mu'er after returning from Beijing with a few craftsmen who could draw, and basically marked out the place names they knew, which was not very accurate but barely usable.

Bai Xianzhi began to explain the operational outline: This rescue of the Daling River, because the strength of our and the Jin army is too different, so we will not enter the western Liaoning region, but go to the grassland outside the pass to give full play to the advantages of the cavalry's rapid mobility. In addition, Chahar has also received an invitation from the imperial court to send troops, and is moving troops and grain stations to Dorenoor, and we will join forces after meeting with them, so that our strength can be greatly increased. The target of this operation was the Mongol rebellion in the area of the Xilamulun River and the Laoha River, and took the opportunity to threaten the Duerbi or the mouth of the Daling River, thus forcing the Jin army to return to help relieve the siege of the Daling River, with a force of seven battalions and 10,000 horses and livestock. The duration of the operation did not exceed two months, including the time of the round-trip journey.

"Hanmin, you are Hu Lai, the Daling River is in danger, but you ran to the Xilamulun River thousands of miles away, what is your idea?" Jin Sheng couldn't help but be a little annoyed.

"I don't trust those people in Liaoxi, what Zhang Chun's 40,000 people can't do, I can't do it either, the food and salary given to me by the imperial court is insufficient, and no one will care about my life or death when I go to Liaoxi, I want to fight in the territory of Jin to feed the war, as long as I hurt the Mongolian rebellion, the Jin army will not withdraw." Li Yu replied decisively.

"There is such a thing in the book of war that Wei Wei rescued Zhao, so let's fight according to Li Shuai's method, and our family will go and tell the emperor." Liu Wenzhong glanced at Jin Sheng very dissatisfied, nerds are stupid, just such a little money, it's good to be able to send people out, what are you really doing!

Bai Xianzhi continued: "This time the troops were personally led by the marshal, and Ma Guangyuan, who was in charge of military affairs, and the sequence of the troops: Mengke, Jida's Flying Tiger Battalion, Sun Fuhu, Qiu Xian's cavalry left battalion, Kubai, Chaolu's cavalry rear battalion, Sun Shoufa, Ma Danian's infantry left battalion, Manzhu, Hou Shijie's infantry army's right battalion, Ding Qiming, Jin Guoding's military selection battalion artillery sentry, and ordered Asari and Dehun An to temporarily organize the Xuande Wei cavalry battalion, Haishan, Fei Yangwu temporarily organize the Xinghe Guard Cavalry Battalion, and the two temporary battalions went out together. ”

Ma Guangyuan proudly stood up and bowed his hand to everyone, he has been aggrieved enough over the years, and the old account of abandoning the Jianchang camp and surrendering to the Jin army was so heavy that he couldn't raise his head, and he was not afraid of the officials of the imperial court - there were many people like him in the Ming army, as long as he didn't enter the customs, the government pretended not to know, and no one dared to find something to go out of the customs to arrest him, the problem is that it is too embarrassing to have this previous conviction, and he didn't dare to mention his previous experience in front of his brothers. He had to catch it well.

Wuhai and Baiyintu were a little annoyed, they didn't have them when they went into Shanxi to suppress the thieves, and this time they threw them at home again, and the two of them stood up and were about to make trouble, and when they saw Ortai staring at them viciously, they sat back in fright - the front battalion of the cavalry is the number one main force second only to the Flying Tiger Battalion, and they are all natives of Fengzhou Sichuan Mongols and Bansheng Han people, if the Flying Tiger Battalion is Li Yu's guard, the front battalion of the cavalry is the guard of the Grand Commander's Mansion, and their first task is to be optimistic about their home. The other generals who stayed at home were not convinced, Zhang Chuanjie and Borshu shouted the most fiercely, and Li Yu scolded them, pointing out that their task was not only to take care of the house, but also to keep an eye on Shanxi, and at the same time promised to give them a share of the loot they brought back, so they drank these guys.

"Lord Jin, Gonggong Liu, this time to send troops, my elite in Fengzhou to the fullest, no matter the foot rider is all one person and two horses, the little money and food given by the court is definitely not enough, can you allocate some more horse materials and cotton clothes and quilts? We don't take it for nothing, but exchange it for the head we have won. Li Huai begged with a smile on his face.

"Here, you send someone to go back to Datong with me to get it, although the one in the treasury is taken, if it is really not enough, our family will go to the barracks to strip clothes, those who fight have no clothes to wear, and those who are idle at home are embarrassed to eat and clothe?" Liu Wenzhong immediately patted his chest and agreed, and his face bloomed with happiness.

"The generals will immediately return to their headquarters and set off in two days," Li Yu stood up and ordered, and then pointed at Liu Xingzuo and said, "During my absence in Fengzhou, Liu Xingzuo will sit in the Grand Commander's Mansion as a deputy commander, and handle the important military and political affairs of Fengzhou together with the three fellow governors. ”

With the issuance of the order to send troops, the machine of Fengzhou, which integrates the military and the people, quickly turned, and on the day of the dispatch, the people of Fengzhou rushed to tell each other, ecstatic, and went out of their homes to send their children to the battlefield. The garrison of the guard post also carried weapons, horses and three buckets of fried rice from their respective homes to the garrison to assemble, the officers and the establishment are ready-made, as soon as the people arrive, they will leave immediately, and their efficiency makes Jin Sheng and Liu Wenzhong dumbfounded, and what surprises them even more is that not only the Fengzhou cavalry is both ridden, but the so-called Fengzhou infantry also has its own war horse, and there is also a horse or a mule.

Fengzhou is warlike and extremely elite, and if it goes on like this, I don't know if it will be a blessing or a curse for Daming - Jin Sheng looked at the Fengzhou army who strode away with his chest up amid the cheers of the people, and wiped the cold sweat on his head while thinking.

On the tenth day of the first month of October, Li Yu led his troops to Duolunor, where Chahar Khan had gathered more than 30,000 people, and almost brought all the men who could fight. The news of Li Yucha's arrival made the Chahar people feel very uplifted, and Tuba Jinong and Garma Jinong led their troops out of the camp for ten miles to meet the Fengzhou army, and Li Yu also saw Buck among the people who welcomed him - this guy's other identity is the head of the Chahar Titang Institute with the rank of a hundred households, and this time he received an order from the Titang Division to lead the two hundred fierce men who escorted the caravan to act as the guides and scouts of the Fengzhou army.

Tuba and Karma told Li Yu that not long ago, the minister of the Alu Korqin Division, Dalai Huchur, together with the three Taiji of the Sizi Department and the Aruyisut Division, led his troops to surrender to the Jin State, and the Great Khan was furious, and he must fight to the Xilamulun River and severely punish those who rebel, and the Chahar tribes were ready to set off and were waiting for him.

"Great Khan, you brought what you wanted, where did we hit this time?" Li Yu entered the camp and saw Chahar Khan and asked, Chahar Khan has been crazy about buying weapons from Fengzhou recently, and this time he brought him 10,000 iron-headed arrows, it seems that he is really desperate.

"Keep fighting to the east, Ben Khan wants to fight across the Xilamulun River, it is best to go back to the old capital Chahanhot to see," Chahar Khan waved his hand, and said to Li Yu, "You give Ben Khan a striker, after hitting the Xilamulun River, Ben Khan crosses the river to fight north, you fight south, if there are Jin soldiers from the mouth of the Daling River to the north, you block them for Ben Khan by the way." ”

Chahar Khan didn't wait for Li Yu to answer, he pulled him up to a high platform, today's Chahar Khan is wearing armor, hanging a scimitar at his waist, looking majestic and majestic, facing tens of thousands of soldiers who are ready to go, he said loudly: "Humbaturu Li Yucha, invincible steppe warriors, Jin Zhushen is also afraid of him, Ben Khan officially named him Jinong today, he will fight with you, cheer, Chahar warriors." ”

The cheers sounded instantly, like thunder in the sky, Chahar Khan smiled and waved to his subordinates - it is difficult for the Ming army in Daling River to escape, after this battle, the Ming army in Liaoxi will be slumped, the next target of the Jin State is definitely him, this is probably the last time he returns to his hometown, since this is the case, then fight again, the Jin State Zhushen can't afford to provoke, just take those rebellions.

"Sharp blades, solid armor, this is the warriors of all the tribes directly under my Chahar, Zhushen is the mortal enemy of my Mongolia, unless one falls, he will never stop fighting, use your sword to tell the rebellion of the Xilamulun River, whoever betrays my Great Mongolia will die, let Zhushen and the rebels tremble!" Chahar Khan roared in anger.

At the end of October, the Fengzhou army with the black eagle banner and the wolf's head suddenly appeared south of the Xilamulun River, and the Mongol tribes attached to the Jin State fell into chaos in an instant—almost all the young and strong elites of the tribes were transferred to the Daling River by the Great Khan of the Jin State, and how could the old and weak women and children who stayed at home be able to defeat the enemy armed to the teeth, and the sporadic resistance organized by the nobles was destroyed in an instant, and escape became the only way out, but unfortunately it was not so easy to escape.

"Sweeping, each battalion swept by itself, robbed the nobles of their cattle and property, and distributed to the people on the spot if they could not take it away, and those who dared to resist were killed." Li Yu will never be soft on those nobles, the experience of the last time he fought Karaqin told him that if he killed those Taiji and Nuoyan, their subordinates would become a piece of scattered sand, not only would they not resist, but they might even mix with him, with the help of the local people, they would not have to worry about eating and drinking.

"Let not one be spared, for the Great Khan has decreed that the sin of treason is unforgivable, and that everyone may be killed, and that they shall bring back to me their population, livestock, and goods, and burn on the spot what they cannot take away, and leave nothing for them." Tuba Jinong yelled at the Chahar soldiers, this time he was with Li Yu again, the two of them fought together as a pioneer, Chahar Khan dragged his feet and still lagged behind, and he couldn't catch up in three or five days, but Tuba also likes to be with Li Yu, he doesn't have to work hard to fight, and he still makes a lot of loot, and he is a man from the Hana barbarians in charge of Sutai Hatun, Su Tai and Wu Langha partner in business, of course he has to learn from his master to fight with Li Yu in partnership.

The Mongolian nobles of the Xilamulun River were unlucky, almost there was no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the earth, the people of Fengzhou killed them, the Chahar people killed them, and even the poor people looked at them like they were looking at a fat sheep, and they wanted to run but could not outrun the elite cavalry. The most terrifying thing is that the Yellow Sect Lama, who has always cooperated with them, is also ready to move, and the lamas seem to think that as a disciple of the Third ******** Lama and a close associate of the Living Buddha of Maidari, he should naturally be the leader of the Yellow Sect in the steppe, and the reincarnation Altan Khan confirmed by his old man is more worthy of refuge. Among the lamas, there was an endless stream of people who flattered the Fengzhou army and offered their courtesy, and the Mongols in the Fengzhou army were almost all followers of the Yellow Sect, and they consciously acted as the protectors of the lamas without Li Yu's order. The rebels were abandoned, and before the Fengzhou army could kill people, the lama over there deprived the unlucky man of his honorific title - the Xilamulun River was completely chaotic, and it seemed that the sky was about to change.

At this time, someone finally stood up, and the Horqin Minister Lao Oba gathered the remaining men of the Horqin tribes, and quickly rushed to the Xilamulun River, and at the same time issued an order to the Mongolian tribes fleeing in all directions, the vicious Chahar Khan is coming back, and the Li Yuhong Batulu from Tumut is his accomplice, and the Mongolian tribes must unite to resist the strong enemy, and if they persist, there is hope, and the Great Khan of the Jin State will never abandon us, and will soon fight from the Daling River. Inspired by the venerable old Oba, the Mongol tribes took action and rushed to join the Korqin people - dozens of tribes and tribes such as Korqin, Balin, Zalut, Aohan, Naiman, Alakyut, Arukorqin, Sizi, and Aruisut gathered along the Xilamulun River, and the nobles of each tribe unanimously agreed to fight together against the murderous Chahars and supported Oba as their leader. Lao Oba also brought a few envoys from Khalkha Shuolei Taiji, telling the nobles of the tribes that the Khalkha tribes supported them, and the son of the old Subu of Karaqin, Gulu Siqib, was also gathering Karaqin reinforcements, and they would never be isolated, and the camp against Chahar Khan was unprecedentedly strong, and the nobles of the Mongolian tribes were in great spirits and were desperate.

"Great Commander, those rebels have taken the initiative to pounce, there are many of them, there may be tens of thousands, but most of them are old and weak, they are not fully armed, and the armor is even less pitiful, so it will not be too difficult for us to fight them." Buck ran to report to Li Yu.

"Tuba, how far is the Great Khan from us?" Li Yu asked, looking at the map.

"It's still far away, the Great Khan has been collecting people, cattle and sheep and property all the way, and it won't be there in three or five days, Li Yucha, we have five or six thousand people together, and it's no problem to fight this rabble." Tuba said with a smile.

"Let's withdraw, drag them out and catch them all," Li Yu rolled up the map, got up and said to Tuba, "Don't patronize and rob your people, gather and prepare for war immediately, you won't be afraid to fight rebellion, right?" ”

"Look at what you said, we are the best at fighting rebellion, and let's play forward."

With Li Yu's order, the combined forces of Fengzhou and Chahar began to retreat westward, and the backward two battalions of Sun Shoufa and Manzhu were beaten to pieces, leaving behind the looted cattle, sheep and property, and fled in a hurry under the cover of the cavalry.
