Chapter 550: Funeral Rites

"Ah......h

Ah Cheng suddenly shouted, and the thousands of people around him were startled by his high-pitched scream!

Ah Cheng didn't care about other people's eyes, and he didn't care what others thought, he had been presiding over the war in the past few months, and the Great Khan and other Da Taiji asked little, everyone was a little depressed or worried at most, but Ah Cheng clearly knew that he was already aggrieved and was about to vomit blood!

It's not that the Mongols can't fight and don't dare to fight, but that they don't fight with you at all!

There are military forts everywhere, and there are excellent cavalry everywhere, Ah Cheng once hoped that He Yusheng's logistics would not be able to withstand it, and then he scolded himself for being a fool.

What did He Yusheng rely on to start his home, aren't they those carts that can pull six or seven thousand pounds of goods? A dozen cars running one trip is enough for dozens of side piers to eat for many days!

Military rations, ordnance, firearms, gunpowder, firewood, medicinal herbs, all military supplies, there was not a single day of shortage.

It's hard enough to fight with such an opponent, and what's even worse is that people don't fight you at all!

There is nowhere to make people the most uncomfortable, Ah Cheng's depression and sadness lie in this, seeing that the enemy is current, can not fight, sleepy and sleepy, the Mongols have more than 100,000 people gathered here, but there is no chance to fight, people do not fight with you at all, but those who do not fight have a strategic advantage, and lead the Mongols by the nose.

Ah Cheng is also repentant, when he and Yusheng repaired the fort, the various departments did not gather, the Great Khan did not make up his mind, and the timing was not right, Ah Cheng did not insist on immediately gathering a large army to attack and Yusheng's fortification troops, otherwise, even if the other party was prepared, at least he could force Yusheng to gather the main force to fight a decisive battle.

Now Ah Cheng doesn't care much about winning or losing, all he wants is to have a good fight!

This kind of thinking is crazy, if Bai Hong Dataiji and they know Ah Cheng's true thoughts, I'm afraid that the various departments will retreat directly, who wants to fight a conference battle with a madman who is not sure at all? But Ah Cheng knows that if he doesn't think about fighting now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have this kind of opportunity in the future.

Ah Cheng vented fiercely, turned his head to Nemuge and said: "Order all the ministries to be mourned, and ask all the ministries to send more people to gallop back and forth every day to make a chaotic appearance." ”

Nemuge nodded in response, and then said in a deep tone: "We have done everything we can do, now it depends on whether Zhang Han accepts the offer!" ”

Ah Cheng pressed the knife on his waist and looked into the distance without saying a word.

……

"The Great Khan of the Northern Captives is dead?" The first to receive the report, and to observe it carefully, was Li Shouxin.

Within the line of sight, the felt bags of the Mongolians are hung with silk strips inside and outside, the colors are not less, there are colored and white, there are ribbon silk strips everywhere, and the silk strips dance in the breeze like wicker when the breeze blows, which looks both beautiful and weird.

In the place where the sweat tent was originally set up, you can see a huge pyre made of wooden blocks with a telescope, a group of lamas are constantly turning and chanting around the pyre, and there are some small fires everywhere, people are wailing in circles, and then put some clothes and other things into the fire, the fire is blazing, many people grab their chests and cry, and some people take knives to cut off their beards and throw them into the fire together.

"How can you be sure it's the Great Khan?"

Zhang Han also rushed over, and the silver ingot stood beside him.

The silver ingot looked at it for a while, and said with a complicated face: "Looking at this scale, there is no doubt that it is indeed a great sweat." ”

Zhang Han said: "What do you say? ”

"The burial of our Mongolian nobles after death is not to seal the tree, first burn the deceased's things before his death, and then the nobles use two valuable wooden planks together, find a secluded place to bury, and then use horses to level the land, plant trees and grass, kill a lamb in the place where the soil is sealed, and in the next year the place where the ewe finds it is the cemetery to worship, after a few years, the land of the land is forested, and there is no need to worship again. Therefore, when the royal family died, they were all buried in the North Park, and then our ancestors returned to the grassland, and some continued to seal the wood into a forest and buried, and there were also cremated and then piled up stones in it, and then the practice of guarding the mausoleum with the mausoleum, successive generations of the Great Khan, all already had their own mausoleums, judging from the movement in front of them, the corpse should be the Great Khan, and then first burned the Great Khan's life-saving supplies, burned the body seven days later, and then sent back to Qingcheng, and built a mausoleum in the city to set up a mausoleum to guard the ......"

Zhang Han pondered: "Could it be that the corpse is fake?" ”

The silver ingot was dumbfounded: "If you use the life and death of the Great Khan as bait...... Even if he wins, the various ministries will become the laughing stock of the entire Mongols, and the Great Khan will be disgraced for the rest of his life, even if the Great Khan himself is willing, the Taiji people below will not agree. ”

"That seems to be true...... Zhang Han observed the situation in the Mongolian camp with a telescope, everywhere was chaotic and disorderly like an ant colony, and even some cavalry teams were galloping back and forth in the camp, and there were armored soldiers confronting each other, it seemed that a fight might break out at any time, and the entire camp of more than 100,000 people was in chaos everywhere...... If there are thousands of main forces with more than 10,000 soldiers at this time, it is likely to defeat the main force of the northern captives in one battle!

"What an attractive view...... Zhang Han suddenly smiled.

Li Xuan strode up from under the city, saluted Zhang Han from a distance, and then said loudly: "My lord, the cavalry patrolling the sentry caught a northern captive, saying that Ah Cheng Taiji and others wanted to kill him, so they absconded here to join us." ”

"What a coincidence." Zhang Han stroked his forehead and smiled: "What about people? ”

"The man was seriously injured when he fled." Li Xuan said with a look of annoyance: "After I caught it, I died after saying a few words." ”

Li Xuan said again: "This person said that Bu Shitu Khan contracted typhoid fever and died on a rainy night, he was the one who served, the Taiji were furious, and killed dozens of people who served the Great Khan. ”

Zhang Han didn't speak, and several generals on the side shouted, and one of the generals shouted: "The Bu Shitu Khan of the Northern Captives is dead, and there will be chaos at this time, my lord, let's take the opportunity to counterattack, right?" ”

Li Xuan also said: "My lord, this is indeed a good opportunity. ”

Several staff officers jumped up, and they had already begun to deduce the course of the campaign.

Zhang Han looked at Li Shouxin and Zhou Yao and asked, "What do the fort guards and Zhou Yao think?" ”

Zhou Yao frowned and said: "Although the silver ingot Taiji and the northern prisoner that Li Xuan grabbed said that Bu Shitu Khan died, but when this kind of thing happened at this time, the subordinates always felt that something was not right, and they felt a little strange, but what was wrong, the subordinates couldn't say." ”

Li Shouxin nodded when he heard this, and said, "One after another, I don't feel right." ”

Zhang Han smiled: "Then how to deal with it?" ”

Zhou Yao said: "The subordinates mean to strengthen the sentinel and see the next news." ”

Li Shouxin said: "The subordinates should respond to all changes with the same, and the current situation of our army is the most favorable, no matter what happens to the northern captives, we have no need or reason to change." Everything is still as designed by the adults, winter battles or no battles with the North at all, slowly boiling them to death! ”

Zhang Han looked at Li Xuan and the others, Li Xuan looked disapproving, compared to Zhou Yao and the others, Li Xuan and the others were obviously much more aggressive.

Zhang Han put his left hand on the battlements, and his right hand was still holding a telescope to observe.

His mood was also up and down, and there was a feeling of panic.

If the chaos of the Beilu is true, the main force of Heyusheng can be gathered within five days, and form an absolute advantage over the Beiyu on both the east and west roads.

But Zhang Han's own judgment is that the chaos in front of him is fake, and everything is a deliberate illusion.

The matter is very simple, because the current state of affairs is extremely unfavorable to the northern captives, it is now autumn, there is almost no autumn on the grassland, after the autumn may enter the winter at any time because of a snowfall, after the winter is often heavy snow, often minus thirty or forty degrees Celsius extremely cold weather, under this kind of weather, it is impossible for the hundreds of thousands of northern captives in front of them to continue to surround the military fort here, and even leave a small number of troops to confront here.

The siege that lasted for half a year was hastily ended, which was a tragic ending that the northern nobles could not accept no matter what.

By next year, He Yusheng will have more artillery, more manpower, and more soldiers, and the posture will undoubtedly be more beneficial to He Yusheng.

Although Zhang Han feels that there is no chance to fight the Beiyu now, there will be variables in the end......

Zhang Han was puzzled by the death of Bu Shitu Khan, could it be that for this faint variable, the Northern Captives would make a shameful move to sweat and cheat to death?

At this time, an officer who had been observing the enemy's situation shouted: "My lord, the northern captives are moving again." ”

Zhang Han looked to the north again, and at this time, more than a dozen teams of cavalry rushed out of the camp in the north, and after running out of the camp, they went in all directions, and quickly dispersed.

At the same time, one or two thousand horsemen rushed out of the camp, and only after the small groups of cavalry had gone far away did they slowly retreat.

"This is the cavalry that went to the various departments to complain." The silver ingot's face was a little pale, and he said, "It is certain that the Great Khan has died." ”

"No," Zhang Han laughed suddenly, and he said to the silver ingot: "There are only two possibilities, one is that Bu Shitu Khan is not dead, this is a fraudulent death." The second is that Bu Shitu Khan did not die of typhoid fever or some kind of disease, but was assassinated. The reason for killing him was that Bu Shitu Khan asked the troops to retreat. After killing him, make these illusions to induce our army to go and raid, so that the northern captives have a chance to fight us......"
