Chapter 186: A Sneak Attack
Just five days after Emperor Chongzhen received the good news from Dongjiang Town, he received the good news from Saibei jointly signed by Cao Wenzhao, the envoy of Rehe Town, and Niu Juming, the scholar of Wuying Palace, that is, the person of the military machine.

This good news from the north of the country is not the delivery channel of the political envoy, but the secret folding channel of Jinyiwei.
The reason why this report made the current Chongzhen Emperor overjoyed was because Cao Wenzhao and Niu Juming led more than 2,500 horsemen, and actually set out from Rehe Fort, ran thousands of miles, and copied the old nest of the left-wing Horqin Taiji Zhaisang, which was most closely related to Jianyu.
And the reason why Emperor Chongzhen felt very entangled at the same time was because when Cao Wenzhao and Niu Juming copied the left-wing Horqin nest, they captured a stunning woman who was said to have captivated the country and the city.
Cao Wenzhao and Niu Juming also specifically mentioned in the secret recital that this woman is extremely beautiful, and her posture and appearance are rare in the world, whether she is killed on the spot or left to Horqin, it is a tyrannical thing, so they have no other better way to deal with it except to dedicate this beauty to the emperor.
Now of course, this Emperor Chongzhen understands that this song must be from Niu Juming Niu Jinxing's handwriting, and he secretly sighs in his heart that Niu Jinxing's country is easy to change and difficult to change, and at the same time, he naturally knows who the stunning woman they are talking about is.
Emperor Chongzhen naturally guessed very correctly. Although Cao Wenzhao is both wise and brave, if he talks about deep scheming and fancy intestines, he is definitely not as good as Niu Juming.
Not only can a military general like Cao Wenzhao be compared, but if you think about the emperor's heart and cater to the will of the emperor, I am afraid that there are few people around the emperor who can compare to this scholar of the Tianyou Temple of the Great Shun Dynasty in the original history.
Let's say that at the beginning of September, Niu Juming and Cao Wen made a plan, preparing to take advantage of the opportunity of the left wing Horqin Taiji Zhaisang to unite with the Eastern Mongolian tribes and attack the Karaqin Department in a big south, to encircle Wei to save Zhao, bypass the Karaqin garrison Ulan Hada, and rush thousands of miles to attack the old camp of the left wing Horqin now located in Jiri Galangtu, and give him a black tiger heart.
The two of them had already decided, Cao Wenzhao began to arrange for the personnel to stay behind and prepare for the north, and finally decided that Ying Shisheng would lead more than 500 battalions to stay in Rehe Fort, and urge the young and strong people recruited by the Rehe Town Guard to take advantage of the fact that the weather has not turned cold to step up the construction of barracks and facilities in Rehe Fort.
After everything was ready, that is, on the fifth day of the ninth month, when there were still four days before the day of the Jiri Galangtu alliance mentioned by Wang Zhenyuan and Delige, Cao Wenzhao took the remaining 2,500 elite cavalry soldiers of the Wulie battalion, as well as the liaison messenger Wuliji Department left by Delige, and quietly set off north.
Naturally, there was Niu Juming who quietly went north with him, and Qiao Qitai, the official of the hundred households of Fusi in the north town of Jinyi Weibei who came to Rehe Fort with Niu Juming.
Qiao Qitai also came to Saibei for the first time, and originally thought that he was escorting Niu Juming, a member of the military aircraft house, to pass on a holy decree, but after passing the holy decree, this military aircraft house man had no intention of returning to Beijing.
As the grandson of Qiao Yunsheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Qiao Qitai, who grew up in a family of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, naturally knows the rules of officialdom, and you will tell you sooner or later if you should know, and if you don't know, you won't tell you even if you ask, and if you really know, it's probably not a good thing.
But in any case, Qiao Qitai didn't expect that a new military aircraft keeper would be so bold that just a few days after arriving at Rehe Fort, he actually rushed thousands of miles to raid the old nest of the Horqin Department with the new Rehe town guard.
What he didn't expect was that the new Rehe town guard Cao Wenzhao hit it off with the cattle barn people of the Military Aircraft Department, and just did what he said, and after only a few days of preparation, he really took everyone north!
Of course, although Qiao Qitai was born in a family of eunuchs, he was not a pure gentleman.
In the past, there was an old saying, called "Poor learn literature, rich learn martial arts". Poor scholars are to become officials in the imperial examination to make a fortune, while rich scholars and martial arts are to strengthen their bodies and protect their lives.
Qiao Qitai is like this, although his talent for learning literature is average, and his qualifications for learning martial arts are not excellent, but his family has a great career, and martial artists from all walks of life have also worshiped a lot, so he still learned some things such as swords, guns, swords, halberds, bows, horses, riding and shooting, etc. Otherwise, as the eldest grandson of Qiao Yunsheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Lao Qiao's family would not let him inherit the position of a hundred households.
In addition, the adventure story of Hu Yikui, a hundred households of Jinyiwei, in Karaqin Mongolia before, is now passed on by Jinyiwei to be miraculous, which also stimulates Qiao Qitai's adventurous spirit.
For a moment, he not only forgot about the possible dangers, but also forgot about his duty of surveillance as the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town.
Cao Wenzhao gave an order, and Qiao Qitai followed Cao Wenzhao and Niu Juming north without saying a word.
September in the Saibei grassland is the best time of the year. Although the west wind is rising, the sun is still warm. The days are not very hot, and the nights are not cold. In addition, at this time, the mountains and forests are gradually dyed, and the pastures are yellow, and the scenery along the way is infinitely beautiful.
The group left Rehebao early in the morning, galloped northwest along the upper valley of the Luan River, and two days later, at noon, arrived at Duolenor, two hundred and twenty miles away, and then turned around and galloped northeastward, and a day later, arrived at Dalenor in the upper reaches of the Xilamulun River. This place is the upper reaches of the Xilamulun River, the river is narrow and shallow, and it can be crossed by horseback.
From Dalenor to the north, we crossed the West Lamulun River, turned around and headed east, arriving at the upper reaches of the Narit River in a day's time.
Then, starting from entering the upper reaches of the Narit River, more than 2,500 horsemen, set off at dusk, hid at sunrise, and finally arrived at the area near the loop where the Narit River and the Sila Mulun River meet in the early morning two days later.
Sandwiched between the Narit River and the Silamulun River, this land of abundance and happiness is located in the center of the vicinity of Kailu in later generations, which is the Jiri Galangtu at this time.
The Baiyintao on the eastern edge of the Jirigalangtu area is the place where the left wing of Horqin is stationed in this time and space.
It wasn't until they arrived near Jiri Galangtu that Cao Wenzhao and Niu Juming really put their minds at ease.
They took more than 2,500 horsemen around a large circle, lasted seven days, and walked an extra four or five hundred miles of unjust roads.
Cao Bianjiao, Cui Zongyin, Li Guoqi and other battalion officials naturally knew what was going on.
Qiao Qitai was a little inexplicable, he didn't say anything along the way, but he always wondered if he was going the wrong way.
And Wu Liji, an honest man who was originally retained by Delig as a liaison messenger, repeatedly reminded Cao Wenzhao that he had taken the wrong path.
It wasn't until Cao Wenzhao led the team and bypassed Ulan Hada far away that Uliji completely shut up, knowing that he didn't know the situation at all.
After all, when Delig hurried north with the armor and weapons he got from Rehe Fort, and when he returned to Karaqin to resume his life, he didn't tell Uliji what would happen next.
And a small leader of the level of Uligi also has a clear understanding of his identity and status, and he knows the secrets of the upper level, which he can't understand and can't ask.
Later, when Cao Wenzhao led the team along the edge of the Yongshebu Department belonging to Chahar Lingtan Khan near Duolun Noor, bypassed the Keshiketeng Department and came to the upper reaches of the Xilamulun River, Uliji realized that the goal of this Ming cavalry was to copy the back road of the Eastern Mongolian Tribes.
After that, Uliji became active, and also gave full play to his key role in recognizing the way, leading the cavalry led by Cao Wenzhao and Niu Juming all the way, from the north of the Xilamulun River, like a needle, bypassing the places where the Weng Niute and Naiman were stationed and grazing, and successfully arrived near Jirigalangtu between the two rivers.
