Chapter 836: Problem!
Looking at the slightly excited face of the Son of Heaven, Yang Lian was calm as usual, in fact, this was also in his expectation, it should be said that this time the big war really made Yang Lian understand a truth, above the battle array, the art of war is treacherous, far from being as simple as the ministers of the DPRK and China think.
Taking this use of troops as an example, it was already amazing for Yang Lian to send a few cavalry as surprise soldiers to raid the rear of the enemy, but the next head-on meeting the enemy made Yang Lian even more amazed......
"The minister also learned after arriving in Datong that General Magui had persuaded the Tumut Taishi Kabi Yatu, and the Kabi Yatu promised to transfer back the Wangcheng army that came to support, and passed the baggage transportation route of Tumut, that night, the Jianzhou Department was ordered to cut off the grain road, but the strange thing is that until the next night, General Magui has been standing still, just when the minister couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart, and wanted to find out, he found that General Magui had called on the whole army to put on armor and wait!"
At this point, Yang Lian's expression also seemed slightly excited, and said.
"Immediately afterward, the minister saw that the Tumut camp outside was on fire, and there were shouts of killing everywhere, and for some reason, there was infighting!"
Zhu Changluo was slightly stunned, and then nodded, a little crying and laughing.
This is expensive, but it is really useful......
As early as the day after he and Kabi Yatu reached an agreement, Liang Yong sent the news back through a secret letter, it should be said that Zhu Changluo is indispensable for Ma Gui's decision, and he will not care about his decision when he gives Ma Gui the power to make such a decision.
What's more, he didn't plan to fight Tumut to the death this time, and the peace negotiation after the war was naturally necessary.
However, even Liang Yong's letter did not mention what Ma Gui wanted Kabi Yatu to do, but it is certain that in addition to handing over the route of transporting grain and withdrawing the army to support, Ma Gui must have made another arrangement, and this arrangement is probably the key to this decisive victory......
Zhu Changluo didn't believe that with such a good internal response, Ma Gui would abandon it.
Yang Lian's tone was slightly regretful, and he continued.
It is a pity that the ministers did not personally participate in the war at that time, General Magui ordered the ministers to be on guard in Datong City, and the ministers also knew after the war, that night General Magui took out a small team of cavalry from the Jianzhou Department, and took advantage of the heavy night to set fire to the only remaining grain in Tumut, and let Kabi Yatu spread rumors in the army in advance, saying that there was no food in the army, so after the grain was burned, Tumut was in turmoil for a while, and at the same time, General Magui sent another cavalry to pretend to be Tumuts to go to the Chahar camp next to loot foodWhen our army arrived, the two sides had already killed each other, so under the impact of the Yeh cavalry, who had been recuperating for many days, Tumut was suddenly defeated, and even Tuolik and others were captured by our army......
Xu was a little excited, Yang Lian said some preambles and afterwords, and even some key points were not clear, but Zhu Changluo still understood it, and after understanding, he had to admire Ma Gui's way of using troops.
A cavalry whose combat power is not extremely strong, but in his hands, it can be used in countless ways, it should be said that Magui not only made the best use of the Kabiyatu, but also made the best use of the Jurchen cavalry.
If you think about it with a little brain, you can see that since the Chahar Ministry is here to support the Tumut Ministry, then how can they fight?
It must be some contradiction between the two, and it is a terrible contradiction, that will make the two armies go to war in anger!
Contacting what happened before and after, Zhu Changluo could easily think that it was Ma Gui who used the Jurchen cavalry to sow discord among them.
There are very few cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, this is a well-known thing in the world, and the only Liaodong iron cavalry must always be guarded in Liaodong and cannot leave, which has created a blind spot in thinking, whether it is Tumut or Chahar Department, when attacked by cavalry, it will never think that it is the handiwork of the Ming Dynasty, but will point the object of suspicion to others.
If Zhu Changluo's expectations are good, attacking the royal city, cutting off the grain route, burning the grain, these things Ma Gui ordered the Jianzhou Department to do under the banner of the Chahar Ministry, maybe one thing is not enough to provoke the relationship between the two departments, but one after another news is not necessarily, even if it is Pullik himself will not suspect Lin Dan, but don't forget, there is also a Kabi Yatu in his army who has already conspired with the Ming Dynasty, with the help of this Tumut Master, it is impossible to block the news, Pullik believes in the Chahar Department, It doesn't mean that other people will believe it, especially the army after knowing the news that the grain has been burned and the grain channel has been cut off, they will only use the knife in their hands to rob and wash away their shame.
And it is obvious that it is impossible to go to Daming, if it is so easy to attack the city, they will not stay outside Datong City for so long, so if they want to survive, they can only attack the people next to them, whether this matter is done by the Chahar Ministry or not, they will think that the Chahar Department did it.
At this time, the slightest action of the Chahar Ministry could easily turn into a large-scale conflict, and it is clear that this conflict not only happened, but once it happened, it was out of control, sending Tumut directly to hell.
Zhu Changluo already has an outline in his heart, and the only problem is......
"Where was Lin Dan at that time?"
Although Zhu Changluo has not seen Lin Dan, but this son can enter the Tumut Department alone to turn over the clouds and rain, stirring up the wind and clouds, I am afraid it is not an easy master to deal with, although Ma Gui's strategy to sow discord has the advantage of the cavalry, but if Lin Dan is here, the two armies may not be so easy to fight, and since receiving the military report, Lin Dan has not been mentioned in all the news, Zhu Changluo guessed that Ma Gui must have prepared something to support Lin Dan, so that there was this perfect night attack.
"Back to Your Majesty, Lin Dan went to see Weng Guodai at that time......
Speaking of this, Yang Lian was rarely a little embarrassed and said.
However, Luo Sigong, who had been silent for a long time, rarely showed a smile on his face and said.
"Your Majesty, this matter is also a coincidence, at that time, Lord Yang Lian told General Magui truthfully about the process of negotiation with the Horqin Department, and General Magui sent back the military report that night, in addition to ordering the Five Route Army to go to different places to raid, he also sent another secret letter, in the letter, General Magui explained his thoughts in detail, since the Horqin Department has the intention to plot the Chahar Department but the name is not good, we might as well help him, so we sent the cavalry of the Huifa Department to the Chahar Department to raid, Give him a chance to go to the Chahar Department to reinforce the army, and in exchange, Weng Guodai will make a separate appointment with Lin Dan, and on the night of the raid on Tumut, Lin Dan happened to leave the military camp to meet with Weng Guodai, so he failed to stop this! ”
I see!
Zhu Changluo glanced at Yang Lian, this is indeed an unexpected joy, it should be said that this is thanks to Yang Lian's genius, if he directly sent the Horqin Department to attack the Chahar Department, there would naturally be no Lin Dan going out to meet Weng Guodai late at night, and Daming may not be able to provoke the contradiction between the two departments so easily, and then benefit from the fisherman.
It's just that in the final analysis, this is Yang Lian's own decision, and if it comes out of his mouth, it is inevitable that there is a suspicion of inviting credit, so Yang Lian is not too embarrassed to say it, so he can only be done by Luo Sigong.
"In this way, there must be a lot of chaos on the grassland now......
Zhu Changluo raised his head and looked at the northern border, he could imagine how chaotic the grassland was at the moment.
"Back to Your Majesty, it is true, although there was some damage in the battle with Tumut, but Lin Dan came back quickly, so in order to maintain the effect of the night attack, General Magui could only concentrate his forces on the Tumut Department, and Lin Dan took the opportunity to withdraw from the camp with the army, but as far as the minister knows, the meeting between Lin Dan and Weng Guodai was very pleasant, the two armies have converged, according to the original plan, Lin Dan has rushed back to King Qin with a large army because of the attack on the Chahar Department, if things go well, I am afraid it will not be long, The grasslands will be in chaos......"
A smile appeared on the corner of Yang Lian's mouth and he spoke.
A barbarian is a barbarian after all!
Do you really think that coercing the Son of Heaven can make the princes fail?
You must know that Cao Qian had Emperor Han Xian in his hands, and there were still countless opposition forces in various places, otherwise why would he be known as the Three Kingdoms?
Even if Weng Guodai can successfully support Lin Dan to take the throne this time, the other ministries will inevitably attack him en masse, and I am afraid that Weng Guodai's life will not be easy at that time, not to mention that Lin Dan is not an easy master to deal with, and if you want to use him as a puppet, I am afraid it is not so easy!
It's a pity that the glory of the Golden Family blinded Weng Guodai's eyes, causing him to lose his usual calm, and finally did it......
I'm afraid that next, there will be another scuffle on the grassland!
"The two Aiqing have worked hard, so you don't have to accompany me here all the way, let's go back and rest first! When the army is triumphant, I will recount the merits of the two Aiqing! ”
Breathing a sigh of relief, Zhu Changluo smiled and waved his hand.
Yang Lian and Luo Sigong got up and respectfully retreated.
However, although the two of them left, Zhu Changluo did not move, he sat on the empty hall of the Qianqing Palace, looking at the candle flame in front of him, his expression was complicated, but he was muttering to himself.
"Beheaded 2,000 and captured tens of thousands...... Ma Gui, Ma Gui, you really gave me a big problem! ”
Looking at the calm face of the Son of Heaven, Wang An hesitated for a long time, and finally tiptoed forward.
"Your Majesty, it's late at night, it's time for you to rest! In two hours, it's time to go to court......"
Zhu Changluo seemed to realize something, sighed softly, rubbed his forehead with his hand, and said.
"Wang An, what do you think I should do with those captured Tumut army?"
"This ......"
Wang An was stunned for a moment, and only replied cautiously after a while.
"The slave and maid don't dare to speculate on military affairs, but according to the usual practice, the army of prisoners should be released, not to mention that Your Majesty has just been in the harem, didn't you promise Mrs. Zhongshun to make friends with Tumut? Besides, General Magui also promised the Taishi of Natumut not to kill them all! ”
"As is customary? Let them go back to recuperate, and then cross the border again in two years? ”
Zhu Changluo sneered, but glanced at Wang An and said.
"Do you know why I asked you instead of Eunuch Chen? Didn't you even ask the ministers of the court? ”
Wang An swallowed his saliva, but a little cold sweat broke out on his head.
He naturally knew what the Son of Heaven meant by this, because whether it was Chen Ju or the ministers of the court, there would only be one answer to the emperor, let him return to his hometown and form an alliance forever.
This is a natural idea as a civil minister, since the other party has surrendered, the Ming Dynasty naturally wants to show the bearing of a great power.
But is that really the case?
In Wang An's opinion, this is really stupid!
He doesn't know any messy truths, but he also knows that cutting grass must be eradicated, if he is asked, it is better to kill all these captives, but killing and surrendering has always been taboo, how dare he speak, after thinking about it, he had to speak softly.
"Your Majesty, at present, there are still 10,000 troops stationed in the royal city, and Your Majesty has made an agreement with Madame Zhongshun, if it is...... I'm afraid that it will damage Your Majesty's Shengming, and it will implicate General Magui, and it may also provoke Tumut's rebellion again, so please be cautious! ”
As the emperor's personal entourage, Wang An can only persuade to this point, or rather, he can only come up with such an idea, in this case, the Tumut army has surrendered, it is impossible to kill, if you have to kill, you can only let the generals on the front line carry this black cauldron, this kind of thing is not uncommon in history, but the matter of killing and surrendering has always been a taboo, even if it is a great merit, I am afraid ......
Listening to Wang An's words, Zhu Changluo sneered and said softly.
"Rebel again? In their heyday, they didn't dare to do anything, just with their remaining army of 10,000? ”
But after saying this, he fell into silence for a long time, Wang An was right, killing and surrendering is not a good reputation, and if it is not done well, it will cause countless disasters, but this time Tumo sent all the elites, how could Zhu Changluo let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to return to the mountain?
This should be the longest time Zhu Changluo hesitated, until the sky in the distance was glowing with a faint light, Zhu Changluo slowly shook his head, regained his flat expression, and commanded.
"Grind!"
Wang An didn't dare to slack off, and immediately stepped forward to lay out a pen and paper and waited carefully.
After a while, a letter took shape under Zhu Changluo's pen, and when the ink dried slightly, Zhu Changluo put the letter away with his own hands and commanded.
"Send this letter to Liang Yong as soon as possible, without delay!"
Wang Anxin tightened up, but he responded respectfully and retreated, but he didn't dare to read a word about the content of the letter......
