The leaders also came out of the commotion and became somewhat silent. Zhang Zhijie said lightly: "Of course, I hope that none of you will take the flowers." ”

Even the Horqin Department took in Huadang and was attacked, how dare they take in Huadang as a father and son? The leaders shook their heads in unison in denial, saying that their tribe had not taken in Huadang.

Zhang Zhijie smiled: "Very good, I appreciate your wise deeds. So, I don't know if you know where Huadang went? I think that since Hua Dang wants to escape, he will definitely pass through the territory of one of your clans! ”

The leaders of these tribes all looked at each other a little, and Zhang Zhijie was a little unhappy when he saw this, because Huadang was not alone, he was carrying thousands of cavalry, and such a big movement should not be able to hide his whereabouts.

"The news of Huadang has been hidden for a while, and it can't be hidden for a lifetime, and the news will always spread one day, do you think Ben Dou looks like a very good talker?" Zhang Zhijie said lightly, and there was no lack of threat in his accent.

The leader of the Guerjia tribe hesitated for a moment, and then spoke: "Lord Governor, I know a little about Huadang's whereabouts, he passed through my tribe all the way to the west!" ”

Hearing this, Zizik was a little puzzled and said, "If Hua Dang goes all the way north, it is still possible to escape into the desert, but why should he go west?" If you continue to the west, who will dare to take the flowers? Those tribes are all the territory of Dayan Khan, isn't Huadang killing himself? ”

Zhang Zhijie smiled when he heard this: "Huadang also has courage, I am afraid that only Dayan Khan dares to take Huadang on this grassland, and Huadang can be regarded as a move to survive in death." ”

Qizik wondered: "Isn't Dayan Khan hating Huadang?" Isn't Huadang afraid that Dayan Khan will kill him? ”

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "Although Dayan Khan hates Huadang, it is a little insignificant compared to the hatred of this governor. Moreover, Hua Dang's hatred for Ben Governor was even greater. The two of them are kind-hearted! ”

Qi Qike also felt that it made sense when he heard this, but he immediately thought of a question, their Korqin Department was attacked by Zhang Zhijie with troops because they took in Huadang, and now Dayan Khan is very likely to have taken in Huadang, Qi Qiqi Ke was shocked when he thought of this, and his mouth was extremely bitter.

Although Dayan Khan was defeated several times and his prestige was greatly reduced, he was still the co-ruler of the steppe. Qizik asked worriedly: "Lord Governor, Huadang has fled to Dayan Khan, my lord, you, you are not going to attack the Khan's court, are you?" ”

Zhang Zhijie smiled faintly: "Why not? ”

Hearing the Governor's indifferent tone, Zizik almost vomited blood, and the rest of the tribal leaders were also stunned, and Qizik hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, this matter is not trivial!" Although the Governor defeated Dayan Khan's army twice, it was completely different from the Governor's attack on the Khan's court. ”

Zhang Zhijie naturally knew that Dayan Khan did not call the cavalry to respond much, but if Zhang Zhijie attacked the Khan's court, the situation would be different, for many tribes in the steppe, the Khan's court had great significance.

Zhang Zhijie put away his smile and said in a deep voice: "This governor naturally knows. However, the Governor still had to attack the Khan's court. Ben Governor defeated Dayan Khan's 40,000 iron cavalry in a field battle under the city of Xuanfu, and Ben Governor used 25,000 musketeers at that time! ”

"Bentu defeated Dayan Khan's 20,000 iron cavalry in a field battle under the city of Daning, and used 10,000 musketeers! At the time of the Battle of Xuanfu, there were only 25,000 musketeers in the hands of the Governor, and now, there are 50,000 musketeers in the hands of the Governor! ”

Listening to Zhang Zhijie's words, the people in the big tent immediately began to think quickly, and they quickly grasped the main information. The Governor defeated Dayan Khan's 40,000 cavalry with 25,000 musketeers, and now the Governor has 50,000 musketeers in his hands, doubling his strength!

Although this does not mean that the Governor was able to defeat Dayan Khan's 80,000 cavalry, it also shows that the military strength in the hands of the Governor has increased a lot in just a few months!

However, will Dayan Khan be able to gather 80,000 iron horsemen? No! If he hadn't experienced the Battle of Xuanfu or the Battle of Daning, Dayan Khan might have been able to gather 80,000 strange soldiers, but now, Dayan Khan would definitely not be able to gather 80,000 cavalry.

It is no wonder that the Governor has the confidence to attack the Khan Court, it turns out that the army in his hands is indeed very strong. The leaders in the big tent were all silent, and they were shocked by the powerful military power in Zhang Zhijie's hands.

Zizik recovered from his shock, he did not doubt that the Governor would tell a lie, and he was very glad in his heart that he had chosen to submit sincerely.

Although the army in the hands of the Governor is very strong, it is not a trivial matter to attack the Khan Court, especially for the tribes on the steppe. Qizik said with some difficulty: "Your Excellency the Governor, this matter is not trivial, is it a long-term consideration?" ”

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "It's really not a trivial matter, but there is no need to take it too seriously." Not to mention that Huadang's father and son went to take refuge in Dayan Khan, Dayan Khan repeatedly raised troops to plunder the border and committed heinous crimes, and the governor had to lead troops to attack the Khan Court sooner or later! ”

"The imperial court is stepping up the production of new muskets, and the musketeers of the border army will only increase more and more in the future, and the original governor also wanted to go out with hundreds of thousands of musketeers in the future, but now the governor has no patience to wait any longer!"

Hundreds of thousands of musketeers?! In an instant, Zizik's cold sweat came out, and he really couldn't imagine what a powerful army of hundreds of thousands of musketeers were. How many musketeers were there in the musket array at the time of the Horqin charge? There must have been less than 20,000, maybe even 10,000 musketeers, but their cavalry in Korqin had been beaten and fled.

The 40,000 cavalry assembled by Dayan Khan were all defeated by 25,000 musketeers, and it is said that with Qizik, he really can't imagine how powerful the 100,000 musketeers are, and it is more than enough to sweep the steppe!

Looking at Qizike's appearance in a cold sweat, Zhang Zhijie smiled and groaned: "Of course, although this governor has decided to attack the Khan Court, if Horqin wants to。。。。。。 ”

Before Zhang Zhijie could finish speaking, Qi Qiqi had already knelt down on one knee and bowed down and said, "Horqin is willing to send 5,000 troops to fight with the adults, and let the adults send them!" ”

Zhang Zhijie was extremely satisfied when he heard this, and looked around at the rest of the clan leaders with a smile, although the scale of these tribes is smaller, but as the saying goes, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is also meat.

In fact, the leaders of these tribes have also been shocked, although they have not experienced the power of the musket array like Zizik, but they can also understand the strength of the musket array, and they can also know that the governor does have the capital to attack the Khan's court.

The most important thing is that they don't have any capital to resist, but Horqin is something they can't compete with, not to mention that there is a more powerful Ming army!
