Chapter 578: Go south to Jinzhou
Azig raised his hand, and his own soldiers stepped forward, "Master, what do you command?" ”
"Tell me that you will camp here tonight."
"Huh!" The soldiers took the order and left.
"Okay, you two pack up today, get ready, and go south with us tomorrow." After Azig finished speaking, he said to Surutsud.
"Lord Belle, are you going to attack Jinzhou?" Surut asked, feigned surprise.
"Where are so many words?" Azig was a little impatient, and deliberately teased, "We haven't laid down the Daling River, and the Jinzhou city wall is even taller, do you think we can beat it?" Why don't you Sunit try it? ”
The two prime ministers on the left and right smiled wryly, "Lord Belle said it was a joke." ”
"Okay, you'll know when you get to the ground, and then disperse." Azig motioned for the two to stand down.
"Going to Jinzhou?" Zhiwen listened to Sulut Sude's words and couldn't help asking.
"Yes," Surut scratched his head, obviously puzzled, "Azig himself said that it is really strange to bring so many soldiers and horses without fighting Jinzhou. ”
"Who are they in the army?" Zhiwen has good eyesight, and he has long seen from a distance that this Biao people are complicated.
Sure enough, Su De replied, "In addition to the bannermen of the Jin people's headquarters, there are also the military horses of Halaqin to follow, and the most are Han people. ”
Zhiwen looked at Song Xiance, Song Xiance spread his hands, "Don't look at me, Brother Zhi, I don't know anything, and I can't speculate anything." ”
"Forget it, don't think about it so much, Xiaozhi." Lin Yuan persuaded, "I'll know when I get to the ground, and I'll act when the time comes." ”
Zhiwen nodded, and it could only be so, and asked Sulut to arrange people to sneak out of the camp at night and find Sun Kewang to inform them of their whereabouts.
There was nothing to say all the way, the Ming army in Jinzhou was like a frightened bird, there were more Jiannu people and horses at this time, and on the way south, they didn't even see it all night.
When they arrived at the ground, the four gates of Jinzhou were closed, and the flags at the head of the city were fluttering, looking like they were facing a great enemy.
Azig squinted his eyes and looked at the city, and then said to Yue Tuo, "Jinzhou will be handed over to you here, and I will continue to go south." ”
With a wave of his hand, he led half of the men and horses, crossed Jinzhou, and continued to move forward.
Yue Tuo waved his hand, and two teams of about 4,000 elite heavy cavalry came out of the crowd and camped on the east and west sides of Jinzhou City, respectively, while the rest of the men and horses, under the command of Yue Tuo, were far away from the city and began to set up camp.
Among the crowd, the number of people who brought the cloth with Jiannu was the largest, and they had to do the work of building the camp tent.
However, the Sunit Department can't touch their light, so they still do it themselves, the Mongolian people's dwellings are mainly tents, and the marching and fighting are even more so, it is much easier to set up, and when the Jin people are still busy, this side has already been done.
Zhiwen and the others sat aside, watching coldly, most of the wrappers had shaved their hair, with money rat tails, and in the scolding of Jiannu's leather whip, they either took tools and materials to their hands, or went to the vicinity to collect local materials, and kept busy.
When the tent was almost set up, some people began to carry sundries from the carriages and horses, mostly baskets and sacks, Zhiwen was bored to see, and his eyes moved into the distance.
There is outside the city of Jinzhou, actually also gathered ridges into fields, all over the mountains and fields are planted with wheat, it is estimated that because of the lack of water, the growth is sparse, it can be seen that some of the wheat ears are empty, the wheat stalks are still standing straight, and some have produced heavy wheat grains, and lowered their heads.
"It's time to harvest the wheat." Seeing this, Liu Cai couldn't help but talk to himself.
Harvesting wheat? Zhiwen and Song Xiance glanced at each other, thinking that Azig led the army to continue to the south just now, and it was unreasonable to divide the troops in this way, whether it was to attack the city or to attack the reinforcements, could it be...?
"Dangchang!" At this moment, not far away, a coat who was carrying sundries accidentally dropped the things in his hand to the ground, making a loud sound of gold and iron colliding.
Zhiwen followed the prestige, and it was two sickles.
"I see."
"I see."
These two sentences, Zhiwen and Song Xiance said almost at the same time, and the two laughed at each other.
"Know what? Son. At this time, Surut and Sude were busy and just arrived, and when they heard their words, they both asked playfully.
"Hehe, what do the Jin people want to do when they come to Jinzhou, we know, right, Mr. Song?" Zhiwen guessed Jiannu's movements, and couldn't help but feel good.
"That's right, I can't imagine that the Jin people are already short of food so far, and the first purpose of fighting Da Ling River is for food." Song Xiance also said with a smile.
"What is this," Xiaoying was dissatisfied, "You guys don't sell it, okay, Brother Xiaozhi?" ”
"Oh, I got it, too." Lin Yuan's reaction was a little slower by half a beat, and then he finally came back to his senses, "The wheat is ripe, plus the sickle, the basket, and the sack, the golden man is going to..."
"Harvest the wheat!" The rest of the people said in unison.
"Okay, you're not stupid." After Zhiwen finished joking, he said to Sulut Sude, "The two adults can rest assured, this battle can't be fought, the Jin people are unwilling to attack the city, and the Ming army doesn't dare to go out of the city, at most they will make a small fuss." ”
"That's right." Song Xiance also continued, "I don't know how the Jin people arranged Sunit, hoarding their own elites on the east and west sides of Jinzhou, in order to prevent the Ming army from attacking and ensuring the safety of the wheat harvest, it seems that they are still not very worried about Sunit's combat power, which is good, so we don't have to fight against the Ming army." ”
Sulut Sude was skeptical, not because they didn't believe in Zhiwen's inference, but because they felt that the Jin people came to Jinzhou with great fanfare, just to grab the grain, it was a bit difficult for them to believe that the grassland people were not so sensitive to food, and they would only know the importance when they were hungry.
The Mongolian tribes worked hard for the Jin people, and the Jiannu would give them some military rations, but it was not enough, and if they wanted to eat better, they had to find some ways to do it themselves.
This trip to the east to Liaodong, they have a lot of food, the trade union to bear it, of course, in order to cover people's eyes, Sunit up and down the food is not much, if the war is prolonged, food shortage, you can find Sun Kewang to get it.
"Two prime ministers." At this time, a soldier came to report, "Yue Tobel is invited." ”
This time, the time was not long, the two prime ministers came back soon, just saw Zhiwen and them, they looked up and down, and then learned the etiquette of the Han people, hugged their fists, "Zheng Gongzi, the two of us have served." ”
Without waiting for Zhiwen and the others to speak, Su De continued, "The Jin people really want to harvest the autumn grain, and in addition, they have also arranged a job for us. ”
"Shall we also take up the sickle and cut the wheat?" Liu Cai quipped, "I'm okay, but you..."
