Chapter 297: It's Dangerous to Go
Zhang Ke has long promoted the sand table in the army, and this method is obviously more intuitive than talking on paper, and it is deeply loved by generals at all levels. β Top Novel, www.
However, the sand table also has a fatal problem, that is, it is too intuitive!
The comparison of forces between the two sides can be seen at a glance, Zhang Feng, Yue Zixuan, Wu Boyan, Du Qing, Shen Yue, Xiong Ruoguang ...... The big guys looked stupidly at it if they didn't understand it.
In front of them, there were all small blue flags, and the number of them was so large that it made people's scalps tingle, and the timid ones could frighten the guts.
Shen Yue scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "Don't blame me for my bad words, no matter how you look at it, we don't have much chance of winning!" β
"It's really not good, but it's the truth!" Yue Zixuan smiled bitterly and said: "There are more than a dozen Tartar tribes that have come this time, among them, there are more than 30,000 people and horses in the Eastern Tumut Department and the Swift Hai Department, and I heard that Lin Dan Khan has also shot 20,000 elite soldiers, and they are traveling day and night." When the Tartars are assembled, I am afraid that the total strength will approach 200,000, even now, there are more than 100,000! β
Wu Boyan also said: "One hundred to one thousand, one thousand to ten thousand, it may be easy, but ten thousand to one hundred thousand, it is too difficult." Especially since the Tartars come from all directions, even if we wipe out one of them, the rest of the horses will be enough to sweep away the family business that has been built so hard. β
The big guys looked at each other, and every time they came to such a time, they had to rely on Zhang Ke to decide.
And Zhang Ke was under unprecedented pressure at this time, and the consequences of defeat were unbearable for him. Not to mention that the painstaking management was ruined, even the officials in the capital would not let him go.
In this battle, only victory is allowed, not defeat!
"Everyone is right!" Zhang Ke sighed: "The situation we are facing is indeed too difficult, but we have no choice, only victory, and a big victory!" As long as we can defeat the Tartars, from now on, the Wanli grassland will be our rear. Even if it is Jiannu to kill again. We're not afraid either! β
controlled the grassland, not to mention Jiannu, even in the face of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Ke also had the strength to fight. If you want to be a hero outside the city, you have to belong to your own stage, and the narrow Liaoxi will only let the Yizhou soldiers walk on the old road of Guanning Iron Cavalry, and the grassland can stimulate the wolf nature of martial arts!
"Brethren, whether it is a Tartar invasion or a wanton plunder, we are all losers! There is only one way. It is to induce the Tartars to attack in advance, we will fight a positional war, a war of attrition, completely cripple the Tartars, and become the real masters of the grassland! β
Zhang Ke said, slamming the table hard, shaking everyone's ears.
β¦β¦
Eagles flew through the air, sturdy horses galloped, bowstrings sounded. An arrow pierced the sky and struck the eagle's body with precision.
"Good!"
The tidal wave of cries was given to the most courageous Jebe, the archer of the Eastern Tumert Division!
A man in his early thirties urged the war horse. Rushing to the prey, grabbing the eagle that was not yet dead, and laughing at the sky, it attracted countless cheers.
In the midst of this cheer. But someone looked at it with disdain, full of disdain, this person was Zana.
"Isn't the sharpshooter amazing? What Lao Tzu has is silver. What's so hard about buying ten or eight sharpshooters! "As a complete tyrant, Zhana has learned to convert everything into silver, and when he thinks of this, he is very proud. A bunch of stupid savages, at all times it's someone else's gun!
Zana secretly scolded himself, and suddenly someone slapped him behind him, which frightened him and hurriedly turned around.
"Lord Taiyoshi!"
It was Shanba who came, he smiled and patted Zhana's shoulder, his eyes were full of appreciation, this Zhana had given him countless strange things in the past two years, whenever the Taiji sat together, Shanba was always the most dazzling one, and the earth satisfied vanity.
"Brother Zana, the Khan wants to see you!"
"Yes!"
Zhana nodded hurriedly, although the Mongol Khan was flying all over the sky, but when so many armies gathered together, only the most noble and powerful person could be called the Khan King.
This man is Gartu, the leader of the Eastern Tumet!
His father is Xin Ai Huang Taiji, and his grandfather is the famous Altan Khan, known as I Da!
The noble-born Galtu is well-informed, and ordinary things can't get into his eyes at all, but this time it's different, Shanba presented two special clothes, and a lot of novelties that made Galtu doubly interested, and even personally ordered Zhana to be asked to interrogate.
In the huge yurt, there are more than a dozen huge braziers, exuding a blazing temperature, and in the middle, an old man in his fifties and sixties reclines on a mahogany circle chair, looking at Zhana with a squint!
"You're the one who did business with the Akito?"
"That's right, it's the villain."
"Hmm!" Gartu asked quietly: "I heard that the Han people are cunning and changeable, won't you suffer a loss if you do business with them?" β
Zhana couldn't help but feel that his heart hung in his throat, and he couldn't answer a good sentence, which made Gartu suspect that he had a relationship with the Ming people, and it was too late!
In order for yourself to continue to make money, for the sake of your friends, you must play a good job!
"Back to the Khan King, the villain thinks that the Ming people are cunning, and the Mongols should be even more cunning!"
"Hahaha, well said, ambitious. Genghis Khan's descendants would not care about the former slaves, and the Han people put their minds on enjoyment, and they would not be the opponents of the Mongol warriors. β
Gaertu felt himself swelled, intoxicated by the glory of the past, and after a while, he finally came to his senses, and his big rough hands unconsciously caressed the soft woolen fleece.
"I heard it's made of wool?"
"That's right, the Ming people bought a lot of wool from the grassland, and I heard that the woven wool was even sold overseas!"
"Humph!" The Galtu were so angry that they stamped their feet, and the Mongols also used wool to weave, but they could only weave coarse felt, which was not uncommon even for the poor. However, the Han people can weave soft and warm wool, and when you touch it with your hands, it is like a woman's skin, smooth and supple......
People are more angry than people!
Squinting at the sight of another garment, Gartu was even more puzzled.
Light and fluttering clothes, not weighing a pound, but when worn on the body, they are warmer than leather jackets, can the Han people not be magical!
"Zana, what is this made of?"
"King Qiyu Khan, this is down, the outside is made of the most delicate and precious brocade, and the inside is filled with the down of chickens and ducks, and the weight is the lightest. But when worn on the body, even on a snowy day, it is not cold at all! β
Gartu stared at the two clothes, revealing strong jealousy and greed, if he couldn't do it, then he could only snatch!
"Zana, do you know where the Han people's wool is, I'm going to grab it all!"
It's good to be greedy, and the time to flicker that Zhana has been waiting for has finally come. "King Khan, the little one has seen the workshop of the Ming people. The woven wool was quickly shipped away and sold, and we couldn't grab much, but ......."
Shanba said with a calm face on the side: "But what, don't hurry up and tell King SΓΉ Khan." β
"Yes, if you want to have enough wool, the best way is to grab looms and weavers, plus our wool, and you can weave it yourself, as much as you want!"
"I see." Galtu though is more interested in grabbing things. However, his grandfather used to vigorously develop the handicraft industry, iron-making, brick-making, and paper-making. Sake brewing ...... Although they all disappeared later, Galtu still has memories in his head, and these are all money-making businesses.
"Zhana, are there many workshops for the Han people?"
"Very much. There are all kinds of things, furniture, textiles. Iron-making, mining. But it's a pity! β
"What a pity?"
Zhana knelt down and climbed half a step, and said, "King Khan, the other Taiji are not as wise and far-sighted as you. As soon as they walked by, they must have robbed all the workshops, and it was a pity that the skilled Han craftsmen could only become groom farmers! β
Gartu stared at the pile of good things, and his heart kept churning.
If you can take all the Han people's workshops for yourself and sell them to the grasslands further west, you are guaranteed to make a lot of money......
For the first time, he was worried that there were too many tribes coming, and he definitely had to strike first, and he couldn't let those guys rob him of the benefits.
At that moment, someone suddenly ran in from outside.
"King Qiyu Khan, we have captured a few Han people's husbands."
"Bring them in!"
After a short time, three Han people came in from the outside, and they were tied up with five flowers, two of them were covered in blood and suffered a lot of injuries.
"What do you all do?" Galtu asked.
The three of them didn't say a word, and one of them even smacked Galtu fiercely, which immediately angered him.
"Drag me out, beat, beat me to death!"
The tartar dragged the three men outside, and the leather whip was picked up, and in a few strokes the clothes were torn apart, and the skin was torn apart, and the screams were incessant, and people were horrified to hear.
After a quarter of an hour, the sound was much quieter. A leader ran in, lay on the ground, and said to Galtu, "Tell the king of Khan, a wise man has spoken, and he said that he was carrying grain to Yingzhou, and they encountered a snowstorm on the way, and they were separated from the army. β
Yingzhou? Military rations?
Gaertu quickly grasped the key, he looked at Zhana and asked, "Do you know Yingzhou?" β
It's finally here!
Zhana Qiang suppressed his heart that was almost beating out, and said in a somewhat changed voice: "The little one has been there twice, not to mention how prosperous it is." The Han people bought wool in Yingzhou and set up many workshops. Yingzhou also has the most craftsmen, and I heard that some of them still made things for the Dog Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. β
Without much to say, Gartu's curiosity was hooked.
There are military rations, and there are workshops, isn't this exactly what you want!
"Shanba, what do you think of attacking Yingzhou?"
"King Khan, you are too clever in this move!" Shanba patted his chest and laughed: "After taking Yingzhou, the Han people will have no food, in this cold day, they will definitely surrender obediently, and then the world of the Khan King will be outside the Great Wall!" β
Gartu was completely moved, on the one hand, there were flaws in the Han people, and on the other hand, there were fat and big pieces of meat, and before Lin Dan Khan's men and horses came, he killed the Ming army first, and all the spoils were not his own!
The more I thought about Gartu, the happier I became, and the more I thought about it, the more feasible I felt.
"Shanba, you go and sue everyone, gather immediately!"
β¦β¦
Outside Yushu Village, a team of men and horses was gathering, Zhang Feng was wearing armor, standing proudly in the wind, his body as straight as a javelin.
A pair of cold hands wrapped around his neck, and the woman sobbed silently.
Zhang Feng has grown so big, and it is the first time he has been so intimate with a woman, and his whole body seems to be burning.
"Don't do this, let the brethren see it!"
"There's nothing bad about it, I just let them know that people, people are your women!"
The voice was as thin as a mosquito, and it was in Zhang Feng's ears, but it was like a Hong Zhong, and the man's pride exploded all of a sudden!
"Xiulan, it's very dangerous to go to Yingzhou here, waiting for me to come back and marry you!" (To be continued......) R527
