"What?" When Chechen Khan Shuolei heard this, he immediately stood up and asked.

"What? The Ming army doesn't collect at night? Tushetu Khan Gunbu was startled, and he didn't even know that the wine glass touched it, but he just stared at the person who came and asked.

And Zasaktu Khan Norbu involuntarily stood up, leaned forward, and shouted: "The Ming army does not collect at night? How many are there, can you find out the Ming army? ”

The three of them, just now, came to the conclusion that Gushi Khan did not come back to help, let alone explain the country, even if they wanted to send troops, it was estimated that they would just do it. But as soon as these words fell, some subordinates reported that they had found that Ming Guo did not accept it at night. It's no wonder that they weren't shocked by this news!

This is the extreme west, far away from the Ming Kingdom, and it is the location of the Heshute Department in Oirat. If there is a Ming country here that does not collect at night, doesn't that mean that the Ming army reacted very quickly, at least there are already troops nearby?

In fact, not only these three Khan kings, but also their subordinates, were also startled when they first encountered the Ming army's nightly retreat. In fact, they went up and down, and no one expected that there would be a Ming army here that would not be closed at night.

After understanding the situation, the three Khan kings, no matter who they were, were in no mood to drink and have fun anymore.

"Get out, get out of here!" Shuo Lei shouted at the dancing girls who were hiding on the side. No matter how he looked, he saw that these dancers seemed to have surprised expressions, which made him very bored.

With a gloomy face, Norbu watched as the people in the tent were driven away, and then turned to the other two and asked, "What should I do?" It was a bit unexpected that the Ming army appeared so quickly! ”

The other two didn't speak right away, they both lowered their heads and thought. After a while, Gunbu suddenly grabbed a wine glass and slammed it on the ground, even if the carpet was spread on the ground, he was torn apart, and after seeing him fall, he looked at the other two and said viciously: "What are you afraid of him, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, are we still afraid that he will not succeed!" ”

"yes, what are you afraid of them for?" When Shuo Lei heard this, he shouted, "If there are few people, eat them; If there are many people, they will lead them around the grassland. Hmph, in this grassland, but in the world of our Mongolians, the Ming people dared to come, so they died without a place to be buried! ”

Norbu listened and nodded. He was about to echo him, when suddenly his heart moved and he had another idea. But now the situation is unknown, and he didn't say much. is to send people to each side, and they are scattered on all sides to find out the situation of the reinforcements of the Ming country.

On the Oirat steppe, because of the unilateral massacre, the relaxed atmosphere suddenly disappeared, and the people of the Khalkha tribe were all nervous, and the horn of "woo woo" sounded from time to time, and groups of three or five went out to search for the knights of the Oirat tribes, and they all returned one after another. From time to time, you can also see the herald carrying the command flag galloping out of the three royal tents, disappearing into the grassland.

From time to time, groups of Khalkha cavalry were seen chasing and killing groups of people from the Oirat tribe who were fleeing for their lives. But suddenly, a new order came, and the Khalkha cavalry retreated, allowing the Oirat tribesmen who had fled for their lives to survive. They didn't know what was going on, but they didn't get in the way, and when they saw the red-robed Ming army appear in the distance, they knew what was going on.

Soon, in this western grassland, the news of the arrival of Ming reinforcements slowly spread.

The three tribes of the Khalkha Mongols, who were more dignified, returned to their troops one after another, and reorganized themselves for war; When the Oirat Mongol tribes heard the news of the arrival of the Ming army, they wept with joy one by one, and moved closer to the east, like a trickle flowing down the Tianshan Mountains, and finally converged on the side of the Ming army.

This first Ming army appeared, it was the Baotou army of Baotou Governor Yang Sichang as the commander, and the loyal and brave Bo Mangui as the general, more than 10,000 horsemen, saying no more, saying less and a lot, from Baotou straight into the Tianshan Mountain.

Since the expedition, Yang Sichang and Man Gui have been very excited, they both cherish this opportunity, and lead the army in a hurry, along the way, they don't know how many Oirat Mongols who escaped for their lives. Of course, these Mongols still have to be screened.

This work is done by Man Gui. The Oirats who have been proven to vouch for the newcomers of the Oirats, and those who do not know each other will also get in touch with the Oziertu Khan through the military factory guards. Verify it by descriptive. If there is really no way to prove it, there are Oirat people who can prove it.

Slowly, Yang Sichang's side also knew that the enemy in front of him was the three major tribes including the Khalkha Mongols, each with more than 10,000 cavalry troops, while the Tsarist Russian army only had about 6,000 people.

There is a bit of a disparity between the enemy and us, but Yang Sichang and Man Gui did not flinch, they still led the army to approach, still went straight into the Tianshan Mountain, and the posture seemed to be that people were blocking and killing, and Buddha was blocking and killing Buddha. After a few days of contact, there was no large-scale fighting.

In this regard, Yang Sichang smiled confidently and said to Man Gui: "The three tribes, each of which is not under its control, is just a plate of scattered sand. The official expected that none of them would dare to come up first and fight with our army! How is it? ”

"Lord Zhongcheng!" Man Gui, the bearded man, grinned and smiled in a good mood, "I hope they don't coward, so let's fight for a while, let's take the lead!" ”

Hearing this, Yang Sichang couldn't help but nod and said, "Governor Hong has already led his troops north, and the Liaodong Army has set off one step earlier. They are currently planning each other, and they are about to reach Mobei, once there is a war over there, if the news comes here, the three tribes will definitely come back to help, and when the time comes, we will not fight. This matter should be considered by the official! ”

This time, Emperor Chongzhen made a bloody investment, or because a large number of people were added to the chat group, he also absorbed a lot of people in the chat group called the factory guard. For this battle, he sent almost all the people in the north to the armies. Because of this, Yang Sichang can keep abreast of the movements of the Naturalized Army and the Liaodong Army at any time.

After thinking for a while, Yang Sichang had an idea and said to Man Gui: "Let's go, let's rescue Ozirtu Khan first and knock out his signboard." At that time, it was a good bait, and I believe that these three tribes will have to fight a dozen! ”

"Hehehe, Lord Zhongcheng is high!" Man Gui had a battle to fight, so his mouth was much smoother, patted Yang Sichang's ass, and hurriedly arranged for the army to march.

Yang Sichang guessed correctly, when the three Khan kings of the Khalkha Mongols heard the size of the Ming army, and also knew that this army was led by a governor of the Ming State, and the famous Man Gui on the grassland was the general, they did not act without authorization, and gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

"Is Emperor Ming crazy? actually sent more than 10,000 riders over, and he was still full of Gui as a general! Tushetu Khan Gunbu said angrily, "Then Oziertu is his own son or what, he is even more eager than Gushi Khan!" ”

Hearing this, Zasaktu Khan Norbu furrowed his eyebrows and said: "The Emperor of the Ming Kingdom must have such a big plan, we must be careful!" ”

Speaking of this, he looked at the two people in front of him a little worriedly and asked, "You say, will our Mobei side be attacked by the Ming army?" ”

When Gunbu heard this, he replied without hesitation: "How is it possible, the Ming Kingdom has already sent more than 10,000 horsemen here, how many men and horses do you say to send to Mobei?" It's useless to have less, but if it's more, will there be so many cavalry in the Ming Kingdom? If it's a foot army, I want them to go to Mobei! ”

When Norbu heard this, he hurriedly reminded: "Don't forget, the Ming army annexed the Chahar department, and it is said that there are many tribes in eastern Mongolia who have defected to the Ming country. ”

Obviously, they don't have Emperor Chongzhen's chat group, and with the inconvenience of communication on the grassland, their news lags a lot.

"But don't forget, there are still Jianzhou Jurchens in Liaodong! Didn't the Ming Kingdom ignore Liaodong and go north with all the troops? Gon Bu said with emotion, "If this is really the case, then there is something wrong with the Ming Emperor's brain, and those courtiers under him will agree?" ”

Speaking of this, he paused and looked at Norbu and said, "Don't give me an assumption, the Ming Kingdom has eliminated the Jianzhou Jurchens. If that's the case, then I have nothing to say! ”

Hearing this, in this tense and serious atmosphere, the three Khan kings all laughed in unison. The Jianzhou Jurchen is so powerful, it is so easy to eliminate! If the Ming Kingdom is really so strong, the three clans of themselves will not be able to fight with the Ming army, so they should have thought about surrendering earlier.

"Alright, alright, let's talk about something practical!" The Chechen Khan Shuolei, who had not spoken, clapped his hands, and then said to the two khans who looked over, "The headquarters of the Ming army, more than 10,000 horsemen, look at their appearance, and have been marching westward. How are we going to deal with this army? ”

Hearing this, it seemed that he had touched on a taboo topic, but no one answered, they all lowered their heads, and either went to study the color of the mare's milk wine on the case, or began to concentrate on admiring their jade wrench.

Seeing this situation, Shuo Lei couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He also knew the thoughts of the other two Khan kings.

The Ming army came with more than 10,000 horsemen, and among the three men and horses, there were almost 10,000 horsemen each. Either side, if it attacked the Ming army alone, was not sure. The tripartite alliance, that question arises, who is the main attacker and who responds? The point is that even if this is divided, who can guarantee whether the other two will not work?

Don't look at the three families who are now close to each other, but Shuo Lei is 100% sure that after the three families go back, for the sake of the ranch or something, the three families will fight each other when they turn back. If one side fights to the death with the Ming army here, even if it does not reach this level, as long as the losses are heavy, it will be very uncomfortable in the following days.

No one is a fool, no one wants to let their men go down to wear out, and no one believes that anyone will really have to fight hard with the Ming army!

What's more, now that the three of their tribes have robbed a lot of things from the Oirats in this war, people and livestock, etc., at this time, the people under their hands are thinking about going back as soon as possible, so as to divide and seize them as soon as possible.

However, the Oziertu had not yet been captured, and a considerable part of the Oirats had escaped. The three of them didn't want to leave like this, and then Ozirtu cleaned up the remnants and re-emerged with the support of the Ming Kingdom.

At that time, they could be sure that the Oziertu would definitely hold on to the three of them. I remembered that last year, the troops and horses led by Ozirtu were so strong that they all suffered losses.

What's more, there is also a Gushi Khan, although he said that he would not return now, it did not mean that he would not come back in the future. What if Gushi Khan comes back?

In any case, the three tribes clearly knew that they must take advantage of this time to defeat the Oziertu to death and the Oirat Mongol tribes to be destroyed. Only then will they have peace of mind in the future. At that time, even if Gushi Khan came back, without the foundation here, I believe that Gushi Khan was powerless for the three clans.

I was silent for a while, or I knew that such silence and dodging were not the way to do it after all. Norbu suddenly thought of the previous idea, and with joy in his heart, he raised his head and said to the other two, "You two, I have an idea. This Ming army came over, and it was not only the three of us who were damaged......"

When they heard this, the other two's eyes lit up in unison, yes, why did they forget about them.

“…… The Russian army was still frantically looting the property of the Oirat tribes scattered all over the place, and they were still frantically slaughtering the people of the Oirat tribe that they could find. This Ming army came suddenly, it will affect them after all, right? The more Norbu said, the more confident he became, "These mad dogs in the west just don't know about the Ming army, the three of us go and talk about it together, if necessary, we can give some price, give them a little more cattle and sheep, let them go to fight with the Ming army first, it is best if they can defeat both, even if not, it doesn't matter, anyway, it will definitely lose the military strength of the Ming army." And then we'll reap the benefits of the fisherman, how to ......"

With a long note, he looked at the other two, and suddenly, the three of them laughed out loud in unison, laughing very happily.

After a while, Gunbu gave Norbu a thumbs-up with a jade wrench, and praised him repeatedly: "Well, that's a good idea, those barbarians, but the mad dogs have come and cut off their financial routes, so don't be too crazy." We just need to encourage them a little more and give them some benefits, and we are afraid that they will not rush to the Ming army and bite for a while! ”

Chechen Khan Shuolei also smiled and nodded, but he finally reminded: "But don't be careless and send someone who can't speak to talk about it." I know these Tsarists better than you, they are crazy, but they also have brains! ”

"Hehe, that's it!" Gunbu echoed a little carelessly, "A mad dog without brains would have been destroyed a long time ago, and he wouldn't have lived until now!" ”

Although he said this, he added in his heart: although he has brains, he is limited!

None of them wanted to lose their own forces, so they naturally hit it off, and then the three of them began to sum up, and finally decided to send the most eloquent of each of the three clans to contact the Russian army that was plundering in the west.

Soon after, all three tribes received a response from the Russian army. As they said before, when the Tsarist Russian army heard that the distant Ming State had sent an army to save the Weilat Division, they immediately flew into a rage, and they shouted angrily that they must let the Ming army not return.

The three Khan kings met again, and the atmosphere in the big tent was much more relaxed than the last time.

Gunbu said with a smile: "Look, I'm right, these Tsarist Russians only have money in their eyes, and as soon as they heard that the Ming army was preventing them from making a fortune, they didn't ask how many people the Ming army came, and they all shouted that they wanted to kill the Guangming army!" ”

"Hehe, you forgot!" Norbu also responded with a smile to Gon's sermon, "There has been a conflict between Tsarist Russia and the Ming army in the far north!" The Ming army robbed a lot of Tsarist territory and property. ”

"Yes, it's too far away from Tsarist Russia itself, and they are bullied by the Ming army, but they are also powerless." Shuo Lei also smiled and further explained, "They want to send more troops to the east, but the price is high. What's more, the Ozirtu are making trouble in the west and intercepting the goods they have plundered in the northeast. Therefore, the Tsarist Russians will first propose to eliminate the Oirats. If my guess is correct, the Tsarist Russians, the next step, is to send troops to the east. Maybe they will unite with us again and go together to wipe out the Ming army in the east! ”

Hearing this, the other two both nodded. However, Norbu was also a little puzzled, and he asked the other two: "You say, that far north, even we can't look down on it, why did the Ming Kingdom occupy the rich Central Plains, but still send people to compete with Tsarist Russia?" Is it just to disgust the Tsarists? ”

The other two listened to it, but they didn't understand why the emperor of the Ming Kingdom wanted to do this, was it because he was bored?

After a digression, they quickly turned back to the topic. Listening to Shuo Lei: "Tsarist Russia has now gathered its troops and looted materials, and will soon lead its army to converge." But they said first, and the goods promised to them were to be given first. Otherwise, once the fight starts, they don't know if they can send these belongings back in disgrace. ”

"Give it, we won't pay it!" Hearing this, Norbu said generously, "What I should give here has been prepared, and I can send it to them later." ”

"Mine is fine, give it to them as soon as possible, let them rest assured as soon as possible, come over as soon as possible, and get rid of these Ming troops!" Gunbu also nodded and said, "On our own side, it's time to send the seized things to Mobei." ”

There is about to be a big battle with the Ming army here, so many captures are naturally not suitable for the army. They also had to do the same as the Russian army, and they had to send the captured things back to the rear first.

After this was decided, the three tribes got busy, the army assembled, sent out the horses, as for the booty, what should be given to Tsarist Russia was given to them, and what should be transported back to Mobei was transported back to Mobei.

But until the Ming army immediately arrived at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, the armies of the three tribes waited for a long time, and they did not see the Tsarist Russian army coming to converge. The Khan kings of these three tribes are a little anxious, the Russian army grabbed things so quickly, this is about to fight, why is it so procrastinating, the war can't be dragged on all the time!

When they were in a hurry, the people who had contacted the Tsarist army came back quickly, and their angry and corrupt demeanor made the hearts of the three khans sink in their hearts.
