Chapter 384: Delaying Tactics
When he was thinking, Tu Hu's thoughts turned back and forth, and he wanted to kill Zhang Ru so that he would have no worries, and he remembered a certain promise to someone.
In the end, the difficult decision was also well thought out.
In the final analysis, Tu Hu still couldn't let go of Su Qiqi, so he was so embarrassed.
Walking out of the Golden Tent of the King of Khan in full view of everyone, and then stepping on the way home with heavy steps, Zhang Ru's back was actually soaked in cold sweat.
When he talked to Tu Hu, he also had fear in his heart, he was not a saint, and he couldn't be fearless.
Especially when Tu Hu said the truest thoughts in his heart, his hairs stood on end. At this time, Tu Hu couldn't withstand any blows and teasing at all. Otherwise, he could be taken to extremes at any time.
Fortunately, in the end, there was a thrilling escape from the Tatar camp.
That night, the three thousand old soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country at the pole of Tuhu and the Lingtai Mountain, the Tatar Khan, who touched the scene, did not call even a single outsider, so he carried a pot of wine to the city.
In the place where he once hung, Tu Hu couldn't cry, thinking of the past, as if everything was in front of him, the sound and smile of those rough border men, he remembered every one.
"Uncles, rest assured under Jiuquan, the little five sons are still alive, alive and well. If the little five sons live for a day, the incense of Yajiao Mountain will not be cut off, and it will never be. Tears covered Tu Hu's face, and choking made his voice a lot hoarse.
All his subordinates, whether they were his henchmen or not, were driven down the city by him, and at this moment, he only had one identity, that is, the last of the three thousand guards of Yajiao Mountain who was alive.
The sacred name of the Ming Frontier Army came to mind again, and suddenly, Tu Hu felt that his previous decision was right.
Putting aside personal grievances, not counting the love-hate entanglement between Su Qiqi and Zhang Ru, he still has an identity that will never be erased.
Crowhorn Mountain Border Army!
It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that Tu Hu walked down the city with an empty wine jar, and the two henchmen Wan Fu supported him with a worried face: "Respected Great Khan, are you okay?" ”
Tu Hu waved his hand, and his eyes returned to clarity: "Ben Khan is fine, pass the order, all the grassland warriors are ready, and tonight, leave the territory of the Ming Kingdom." ”
"We withdraw?" A captain asked cautiously.
Tu Hu nodded firmly: "Yes, withdraw the army, our world is on the grassland, this time we were bewitched by traitors, so we rushed out to fight." Unexpectedly, the Ming Kingdom has been so strong that if it weren't for the people of the Ming Kingdom who had no intention of killing, Ben Khan would have used this Crowhorn Mountain as a place to bury bones.
Ashina, sent a decree to all the tribes, from now on, the Golden Horde Commanders Blot, Dzhekobe, and Alibu are no longer from the Golden Horde.
All the tribes that obey the orders of the Golden Horde, and see the traces of these three men and their men, must report to the Golden Horde.
At that time, Ben Khan will personally lead the army to conquer. ”
Tu Hu's words made all the people look at each other, those old people are all cronies of Mandu Haikedun, and now that the Great Khan has not been back for a long time, those old people not only did not get the benefits they deserved, but their status plummeted.
Take this expedition as an example, Blott advocated the expedition, and it is understandable that the Great Khan wants to conquer him. Even if Alibu didn't express his opinion, which made the Khan King angry, they could understand it. But Zhekobe was resolutely opposed to this expedition, why did the Great Khan regard Zhekobe as a thorn in his side?
Most of the commanders who can be promoted to be the captains of ten thousand have several characteristics, one is young, the other is good at fighting, the third is loyal ministers, and the last and most important one is smart.
They didn't have to think too much about it to understand the Khan's intentions.
From the moment they became the captains of the Golden Horde, they were destined to disassociate themselves from their former superiors, which also meant that they had boarded Tuhu's thief ship.
The order was unswervingly carried out, and the people below had doubts and puzzles, but no one said it.
The news reached Blot and the others five days after the Tatar army left, and the three of them gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
At that time, it was the three of them who unswervingly stood in the camp of Mandu Haikedun that the current Tatar Great Khan Batu Mengke controlled more than 100 tribes. Now, when it was time to unload the mill and kill the donkey, Batu Mengke did not hesitate to treat them as outcasts.
"It's better to surrender to the Ming Court! At least, they were not bad about those who surrendered. Dzeko had an idea.
"No, surrendering to the Ming Court is an insult to the bloodline of the Golden Family. When we die, the Immortal Heaven will not forgive us. Alibu vetoed Dzhekobe's proposal.
Brott muttered, "Now that little bastard doesn't care whether we live or die, and has also strictly ordered all the tribes of Mongolia to be exterminated if they see us." 50,000 soldiers eat horses and chew horses, which is not a small amount. To the northwest, there are our brothers and sisters sharpening their knives and huo huo waiting for us, and to the southeast, there are hundreds of thousands of troops of the Ming court waiting for us. You say, what should we do now! ”
Zhekobei said: "Is it possible to send someone to find Kedun?" ”
Blott shook his head and said, "Kedun is all about the little bastard, and when he was in the Golden Horde, Krotun violated his principles countless times. In the past, when Batumunk was there, we were commanders of thousands of troops, and we controlled tens of thousands of troops. Now in the hands of this little bastard, we are nominally the captains, but the men and horses under our command are not even as good as they were a few years ago. ”
Alibu echoed: "Yes, Kedun is no longer the Kedun he used to be, and if we go back, it will be tantamount to throwing ourselves into the net." ”
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, you have to find a way! We can't let the sons and daughters starve to death outside this Datong border town! Dzekodon't be angry.
Alibu thought as he patted his head, and the three small strands of pigtails on his head swayed in the air.
After a while, he didn't come up with a solid idea.
Brott touched his beard and said, "For today's plan, I can only delay." If there is no Zhang Wenxuan in the Ming Court, our annexation should be a happy thing for the Ming Emperor. But with Zhang Wenxuan in the Ming Court, the situation is completely different. Zhang Wenxuan is a wolf, a hungry wolf who only knows how to eat human bones.
Batumunk's life in the capital is worse than death, and now that he is dead, he is relieved.
That Ming man is like a leech, and he won't let go of any opportunity to suck blood. Once we join the Ming Court, we will not only be abandoned by the Immortal Heaven, but also become the soul of his sword. ”
People are greedy for life and afraid of death, and these Tatar men who think they are brave are no exception.
When encountering people like Zhang Ru who never play cards according to common sense, they also have to think about it more. After all, one thought of life, one thought of death.
"What a drag." Alibu asked.
Dzekobe also looked at Blott with a curious expression.
Brott said: "We are now in the sphere of influence of the Ming Court, and now the little mongrel has left with his descendants, but the border army of the Ming Court is still guarding around us.
In other words, we are now making enemies on all sides, and no matter which direction we go, we will inevitably encounter enemies. With the amount of strength we have now, once we encounter the enemy, there is only one way to die.
This Yajiao Mountain Pass City cannot be said to be impregnable, but it is not something that a little man can defeat. We have the food and crossbows left behind by the defenders of Yajiao Mountain, and we can hold out for a long time. ”
"How long is it, a day, two days, or a month? One day, the food in this castle will be eaten. Those Ming troops are not dead people, this is their territory, do you think they will not come to attack? As soon as Blott finished speaking, Dzekobe retorted.
"If you have a better way, we can go our separate ways." Blott said coldly.
He's really fed up with this stupidity.
Ali preached: "Everyone is in the same boat, no one blames anyone, no one says anything about anyone. The most important thing now is to see how you can avoid this catastrophe. Now, we can only follow Blott's method to take one step at a time, and if we hold Yajiao Mountain, we will have the capital to negotiate with the Ming Court. If we can't hold it, we will all become a handful of loess under this Crowhorn Mountain. ”
Two of the three agreed, and Dzekobe couldn't say anything more, and Alibu was right, the three of them were now sitting on the same dress, one with glory and one with loss.
After an overnight emergency deployment, a group of Tatar soldiers abandoned by Tuhu began the task of defending the city, which they were not good at.
The Ming army didn't seem to find that there were still so many Tatar soldiers here who had not evacuated, not only did the original defenders of Yajiao Mountain not return, but they also arranged all those people in Yajiao Mountain to other places.
Blott waited for half a month, but suddenly heard that Zhang Ru, the commander of the three armies this time, had returned to Datong Mansion with a large army.
The three of them were like frightened birds, panicking all day, they really couldn't figure out why Zhang Ru suddenly left with people, why they didn't even want their own territory.
Also incomprehensible to Zhang Ru's actions was Zhang An, the chief soldier of the Xuanfu, who asked Zhang Ru more than once along the way what he meant, but unfortunately, Zhang Ru did not mean to tell the truth.
Finally, after the army entered Datong Mansion City, Zhang An couldn't hold back any longer, grabbed Zhang Ru and asked: "What do you think, do you know how many people will give you a reason to attack you if this news is transmitted back to the capital." ”
Zhang Ru smiled faintly and said confidently: "My old general, you said that you are old, why are you still so frizzy!" ”
Zhang An blew his beard and glared: "Don't care if Lao Tzu is frizzy or not, you have to give me an explanation today." ”
Zhang Ru smiled: "Hasn't the general understood yet?" ”
Zhang An subconsciously asked, "What?" ”
