The Three Guards are ready to go north to the side wall at any time, this is the first time that the Three Guards have taken the initiative to attack, and everyone's hearts are stirred with the excitement of making contributions. The internal reward of the Three Guards is far greater than that of the border armies, so after several major battles, all those who remain are people who can fight and dare to die.

Li Xin summoned Lu Jiu, Zhang Shi and others to account for the route of sending troops, this route he had studied dozens of times along the way, combined with the information brought by Huang Sheng, the most important thing in the whole plan was where to choose the first stop out of the border wall.

After some careful consideration, Li Xin decided to take direct aim at the Tumut tribe entrenched in Naturalization City.

"The Ministry of Tumut? Isn't the tribe of Tumut the one of the Batu? This guy is still in Yang Hewei's coolie camp, is he still afraid that the Tartars of the Tumut Department will not obey? ”

Lu Jiu fought against the Tumut tribe several times, and each time it ended in the victory of the Three Guards, and even the leader of the Tumut tribe, Batu, was captured alive several times.

"It's not proper, Batu was tortured very badly, isn't it the same as letting him go back to the mountain?"

Yang Hewei Zhen Fu Mao Wei Zhang has been with him since the chief soldier Li Xin entered the third guard, and after listening to Lu Jiu's words, he told his hidden worries. No one knows better than him the suffering of Batu in the Yang and Wei coolie camps, the Mongols who were captured with him were either exhausted or starved to death, and the guards were even more ruthless.

In particular, when preparing for the construction of railway tracks between Sanwei and Taiyuan Mansion, Mao Weizhang had already received Li Xin's instructions, so that he organized the prisoners of war who remained in the Sanwei coolie camp to clean up the grass and trees and build the roadbed.

The daily food obtained by tens of thousands of coolies of various tribes is simply not enough to supply the basic consumption of an adult, so the coolie camp has made trouble several times, but the body is not good, and each time it is severely suppressed.

Batu, who has always been pampered, has survived to the present day under this harsh living environment, and it is a miracle that he did not starve to death and die of exhaustion.

Lu Jiu's two repressions of the three guards, Qian Tai of the Zhenwei and Mao Weizhang of Yang and Wei, were a little disdainful, and when he heard him look forward to the future, he snorted coldly: "Mao Zhenfu's words are different, Batu has long been defeated by our Sanwei army, where do you dare to surrender and rebel again, even if you let him go, at best, it will be a dog back to the nest, if you are disobedient, it is a big deal to capture him again, what is the difficulty?" ”

"Yes, yes, the Three Guards are brave in battle, with a great reputation, and they deter inside and outside the border wall, Mao has no other meaning, or remind the marshal to be careful!"

Mao Weizhang was cautious, but he also had his own opinions and bottom line, so although he recognized the bravery of the Three Guards, he still euphemistically said that if Batu was allowed to leave, it would not be a safe plan.

"Mao Zhenfu is a serious word of the old man, however, the advantages of putting Batu outweigh the disadvantages after all, and in the current form, Batu can only choose to cooperate with the Three Guards, I heard that the Tumut Department has been controlled by one of his half-brothers, Batu's old department has been purged, even if this guy has the heart to rebel again, he will not have this strength, so as long as we put it forward, this person will gladly accept it, not much, but so, and be grateful to us!"

Zhang Shishi immediately expressed his agreement and support for Li Xinzhi's words, "What the general said is very true, we can be led by this person Batu, and go straight to naturalization, even if this person is defeated, he will always have three points of prestige, and then with the mighty military power of the Three Guards, if you want to take the Tumut Department, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." ”

Mao Weizhang also felt that Li Xin and Zhang Shishi's words were reasonable, but he was still a little worried about Batu's actual situation, after all, after the guards were instructed by him, they tortured the Mongolian coolies very much, either publicly or privately.

Li Xin noticed the hesitation in Mao Weizhang's eyes, and seemed to want to speak before stopping, so he asked, "Mao Zhenfu still has doubts?" ”

Mao Weizhang finally felt that he couldn't hide this matter from Li Xin, so he told him 1510. This surprised Li Xin, but he didn't expect Mao Weizhang, a person who reads sage books, to have such thoughts.

Lu Jiu clapped his hands this time and said: "I Lu Jiu also shouted for Mao Zhenfu this time, I can't be polite when dealing with these Tartars, Mao Zhenfu's trick is good to reduce work, and I Lu Jiu's temper!" ”

Then he changed the conversation and asked, "Hey, don't you subtract Nabatu as well?" ”

"Batu's life is very hard, and he is still alive and well, but he is clamoring to see the general all day long." Mao Weizhang didn't expect Lu Jiu to have a good voice for him, it turned out that this person had been cold to himself because he was too gentle with his mother-in-law in the past, but this Lu Jiu was straightforward.

It was better to meet Batu, for he understood what it meant to betray again after such a long time...... Where is this man now? ”

"Go back to the general, by the Xiyan River in the Acropolis, the roadbed is being repaired!"

"Let's go, go now!"

Li Xin pondered for a long time, and decided to send rangers out of the side wall first, find out the situation all the way, and then follow the large army. There is also this Batu, which is also a key point in this dispatch, and it is always necessary to make full use of the people and things that can be used.

The roadbed construction site by the Yanhe River is not as hot as the imaginary storm dust, but everywhere is filled with a hot depression and despair of uneasiness, the coolies are almost naked, shouting the trumpet, with flesh and blood shoulders to drive the huge wooden hammer, and tamp the soil foundation again and again.

In these people, where can we still see the wild nature of the past who were competitive and brave, and even burned and looted?

Someone with sharp eyes, suddenly found that a group of generals were hugging in the distance, and the horse team was clearly in the crowd, hunting in the wind, it was the root of these Tartars' teeth that hurt in their dreams, and the bones that were afraid were crispy, Li Xin, the chief military officer of Shanxi Town!

Suddenly, among the many naked, scrawny and blackened coolies, one of them rushed out crying and rushed straight towards this group of generals.

"General, General, Batu's brave master, you can be regarded as looking forward to you......"

Li Xin was taken aback, and after carefully identifying it for a long time, he recognized that this product was actually the fat Batu, it seems that what Mao Weizhang said is true, where is this coolie camp, it is clearly a concentration camp. But then again, in such a cruel and harsh environment, this thing can survive it, and it can be regarded as a strong wonder!

The soldiers immediately stepped forward to stop them, preparing to take away the Tartar prisoner who was trying to approach the general, but Li Xin waved them to let Batu go.

Batu stumbled and ran in front of Li Xin in three steps and two steps, almost throwing himself to the ground with his face, and shouted excitedly: "General, your humble slave, looking forward to your arrival every day, like cattle and sheep falling into the desert, all the time I don't want to miss the fat water and grass, just like losing the sun, losing the light......"

It was clear that Batu was already incoherent, and he probably didn't even know what he was talking about. Mao Weizhang whispered in Li Xin's ear to explain Batu's situation in the coolie camp. Imprisoned in the same outpost as Batu were all members of the tribe with whom he had a strained relationship, while his men were imprisoned in another outpost, Batu was as alone as a pack of sheep and wolves, and it is not difficult to imagine the hardships he endured.

Li Xin couldn't help but sigh for a while, but Lu Jiu asked, "Is the taste of betrayal okay?" ”

Batu is still in a five-body posture, and Lian Lian denied an answer that was close to crying: "Batu has never betrayed his master, Batu ......"

"Forget it, the past will not be pursued, this time there is an opportunity, to see if you can grasp it?" Time was of the essence, Li Xin didn't have time to listen to his ramblings, and went straight to the topic. Batu's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "Master, please command, Batu's liver and brain are smeared on the ground, and his bones must be sworn not to be dishonored!" ”

"I heard that the Tumut Department was occupied by your half-brother, do you want to take it back?"

In the coolie camp, Batu also knew that if he was not there, the Tumut Department would definitely be occupied by others, but after hearing Li Xin say it himself, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, and then he unexpectedly spewed out scorching anger.

"It must be the earth rat of Beergo, the jackal on the steppe went to a distant place, and he thought that he could be the king of the khan......"

The Mongols admired wolves, and naturally compared heroes to wolves in the desert, so Li Xin was not surprised that he compared himself to a jackal, but he was very surprised that this person's attitude towards people of different strengths and weaknesses changed so naturally, and he did not feel ashamed and embarrassed at all.

"Ben Shuai can help you get back in charge of Tumut, but there is a word first, the Han people often say, again and again, you can't repeat it, this is your last chance, understand?"

Batu looked up at Li Xin, got up on the dusty ground, first dusted off the dust on his body and face, and this time solemnly knelt down and saluted, swearing that he would never betray Li Xin, otherwise he would die at the hands of the woman!

Li Xin has never been very optimistic about swearing by gambling curses.

"All the old troops of Tumut have been released to you, but you do not want to swear allegiance to the commander, but to the great tomorrow!"

"This ......"

Batu looked at Li Xin in surprise, waiting for his next words. Sure enough, Li Xin continued: "Not only you, but all the Mongolian tribes from naturalization to Daqing Mountain to the vast grasslands of Khalkha must swear allegiance to the Great Tomorrow. ”

Batu's eyes were confused, what is Li Xin going to do? There are now four major tribes on the Monan grassland, and there are countless small tribes scattered among them, so how easy is it for them to rejoin the Ming Dynasty? What's more, there is still a Manchu Qing in Liaodong, and even the Ming Court is not their opponent, can the Three Guards turn things around?

Batu had no choice, and although his heart was full of a thousand and ten thousand doubts, all he could choose was to receive his fate!
