A supply arrived in the steppe today, and Amur was lying in his mud house, the smell of roasted lamb wafting into his nose outside the door.

The scouts who had gone to Yan'an City to inquire about the news rushed back and were taken to the Chinese army.

The "newspaper" scout announced through the door curtain: "A large group of Ming soldiers and horses appeared in the south of Yan'an City, waving the banner of the left character"

Amur turned over and got up from the bed like an electric shock, and was stunned for a moment, although he was suddenly awakened, and ordered: "Gather soldiers and horses immediately, and enter Yan'an City." ”

The Mongol cavalry galloped to various places to deliver orders.

The deep ditch of Yan'an Mansion is traversed, and the water and grass are distributed in the east and west, and the Chahar cavalry are scattered and stationed dozens of miles north of Yan'an City in order to find a suitable place to raise war horses. The Mongol scouts had been keeping a close eye on the city of Yan'an, and Amur was not worried about being suddenly attacked by the Jurchens heading north.

There is no army in the world that is more mobile than the Mongol cavalry.

The gathering of the scattered cavalry took at least half a day, and Amur was in a hurry. He knew that his previous actions to the Courier might lead to serious trouble.

Zuo Ruo would rather give up cooperating with the Mongols to flank the Qing captives than verbally talk to Chahar. When the Mongols met such a Shaanxi governor, it was very difficult for them to maintain a relatively independent position when they formed an alliance with the Ming Dynasty.

Two Mongol warriors brought the captured messenger to the Amur.

Recalling the rudeness of the past few days, Amur has mixed feelings in his heart.

He now hopes that the Jurchens in Yan'an City will not live up to the name of the Eight Banners and are good at fighting, and it is best to give the Ming army some hardship, so that Zuo Ruo has to rely on the Mongols, so that the Mongols have the opportunity to show their value. However, with the current siege ability of the Mongols, if the Ming army is defeated under the city of Yan'an, his 5,000 people will not be able to play a role.

Although the Chahars seized the messenger, they did not dare to be rude, and kept it with good meat and wine.

Amur asked: "I got the news today that the royal envoy has arrived in Yulinwei, are you waiting for the royal envoy here, or are you going north to Yulinwei?" ”

The messenger did not know why Amur had suddenly changed his attitude, and was overjoyed and asked: "Will you let me go north?" ”

Amur forced a smile and said: "What are you talking about, Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty have formed a brotherly alliance, I am just to protect your safety, not to imprison you"

The messenger was afraid that the Mongols would change their minds, so Shi Li said: "This is very good, the military situation is urgent, and I want to go north."

"Okay, I'll send a hundred cavalry escorts"

Half a day later, without waiting for the Chahar cavalry to be fully assembled, Amur led 4,000 cavalry to gallop south, hoping to arrive at the battlefield as soon as possible, and still make a contribution to redeem a little impression in Zuo Ruo's heart.

Mongolia has been weak for many years and has no ability to sit on an equal footing with the Ming Dynasty, such as the trilateral governor of Shaanxi, the status of the governor of Xuanda is not much different from that of the Mongolian Great Khan, and these local governors have the ability to influence the policies of the Ming and Mongolia.

After encountering a hard nail in Zuo Ruo's place, Amur Xun changed his strategy.

Four thousand Chahar cavalry rushed to the outside of Yan'an, and the head of Yan'an had been replaced with the banner of the Ming Dynasty. The Mongol scouts had been operating around the city of Yan'an, and the Jurchens had already received the news that they had abandoned the city and fled.

Amur sighed.

He once wanted to pursue the rout of the Qing court and settle the grievances with Zuo Ruo with a victory. But after thinking about it, the Qing soldiers were not defeated, but took the initiative to abandon Yan'an, and he led 5,000 cavalry to pursue and may not be able to win the battle, if it is a miserable victory, it is not cost-effective.

Two Mongol thousand households led two hundred cavalry to the city of Yan'an, shouting: "Chahar Amur meets General Daming Zuo"

The defenders of the city immediately went to the government to report to the government.

Zuo Ruo has been wandering in the steppe for many years, and he is not as friendly to the Mongols as Zhai Zhe. After a while, the defenders of the city replied: "My general ordered Amur to enter the city to speak

It was really very polite, the faces of the two Mongolian Qianhu who passed the word changed, Amur's status in Chahar was second only to Ezhe, and the general of the Ming Dynasty was too rude, and he did not send a military attache out to greet him.

Two Mongol thousand households returned to the main camp to spread the word.

Amu's face was cloudy, he hesitated for a long time, and finally resolutely urged him to step forward and run to Yan'an City.

He rode alone to the north gate of Yan'an, dismounted and shouted: "Chahar Amur asks to see"

After a while, the north gate creaked open, and a military attache with a black beard about a foot long on his chin walked out, looked Amur up and down, and after a while, he returned the salute and said: "Li Hu, a general in the Ming Army, is ordered to welcome you into the city."

Amur's face was full of smiles, "Thank you, General Li"

Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling man, the Ming army was in a happy mood after winning the battle, Li Hu pursed his lips and sat in front.

The city of Yan'an was under martial law, the city was in order, the streets were empty, and Amur did not see any people along the way, all soldiers were in a hurry back and forth with a majestic posture.

Zuo Ruo led the army to attack, did not carry much grain and grass, and the Qing soldiers were eager to scrape the ground when they left, and Yan'an City was in a period of shortage of materials. The Ming army was transferring grain from Qingyang Mansion and Xi'an City, and Zuo Ruo's principle of governing the army was to rather suffer the people than the soldiers.

Amur was taken to the government office, and Li Hu entered to report.

A moment later, a banner officer came out and gave the order, "Ordering Amur to enter the house for an audience"

Amur could still laugh, but already barely enough.

The government of Yan'an City is not big, and after walking through the two middle gates, Amur saw that there was a hall opposite, and two rows of soldiers stood majestically, and among them sat a general with a face as hard as a zombie.

Amur walked into the hall, looked up at the man sitting on the top of the main hall, and guessed that it was Zuo Ruo.

In such a crowd, it was difficult to say a lot of things, and if Amur hadn't had the messenger previously detained a ghost in his heart, he would have turned around and left.

He made a Mongolian salute and said, "Meet General Zuo, I haven't seen you for ten years, and General Zuo's demeanor is still the same."

Zuo Ruo did not speak well, did not describe the old feelings, and asked: "Amur, why did you come when you led the army into the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"The king of Jin ordered the king to go north to discuss the alliance between Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty, and I led the Chahar cavalry into the Yulin Guard, precisely to cooperate with General Zuo to pass through the northwest."

"In that case, why are you withholding my messenger?"

Amur sneered, and was about to repeat his statement to the Messenger. There was a crisp sound in the main hall, and it turned out that Zuo Ruo knocked on the table with an iron token, and said: "I don't want to hear what you say, I just want to see what you do, after I take Yan'an City, the Qing captives fled to the bank of the Yellow River, fighting and not fighting, retreating and not retreating, what are you still doing outside Yan'an City, do you want to wait for me to finish everything and wait to pick peaches?" ”

Where is this alliance, it is simply Shangguan reprimanding his subordinates.

The muscles on Amur's face stiffened, and flesh piled up on both cheeks.

"It's not that I don't want to contribute, it's really that my Mongolian cavalry lacks iron weapons and is poorly equipped, if it weren't for the fact that I heard that the Ming Dynasty was going north, we would never dare to attack Shaanxi. The strength of the Qing Dynasty still exists, and the cavalry of my Chahar is only 5,000 people, and I am afraid that I will lose the battle and fall into the prestige of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Most of the people in this world who don't eat hard are arrogant in their hearts, and Amur speculated about Zuo Ruo's thoughts, deliberately lowered his figure, and then didn't mention that Chahar was the lord of Mongolia and other topics.

Zuo Ruo's anger subsided slightly, and he really slowed down his tone, and said: "You just lead the army to pursue eastward, don't worry too much, with me here, what are you worried about?" ”

With me here, what are you worried about? What domineering, what self-confidence.

"I know it under it"

"Where are the Tumuts?"

Amur weighed his words and said: "Tumut Geriltu is guarding Yulin Guard, and he will go south in the near future."

"Very good, you join forces with the Tumuts and immediately march east to Qingjian, don't let me underestimate you Mongols"

Even though Amur was over half a hundred years old, he was also irritated by Zuo Ruo's words. If the Mongols want to gain the respect of the Ming Dynasty, they must show their strength on the battlefield, and in the face of a commander like Zuo Ruo, saying 10,000 words is not as good as doing a beautiful thing.

After the rebellion of Chahar, he should have been dominant in Mongolia, but Tumut had a special position. Relying on the old relationship with the king of Jin and the relationship between Ulan and the king of Jin, Ge Riletu disobeyed Ezheyin and Yang and was unwilling to listen to Chahar's dispatch.

With Zuoruo's words, Amur could justifiably take command of the Mongol coalition forces.

"I'll go back and convey the gathering of soldiers."

When he left Yan'an City, he saw that the Ming army was camping out of the city, and he was likely to be ready to attack again.

After being stationed in the north of Yan'an for a day, a messenger came to inform him that the Tumut cavalry had moved south. This was expected by Amur, the Ming army messenger went north to see Wang Yi, Wang Yi did not know that the Ming army had taken Yan'an Mansion, but as long as he knew that the Ming army had traveled thousands of miles to take Xi'an, Wang Yi and Geriletu would inevitably go south to respond.

He ordered his troops to go north in the name of Zuo Ruo to send an order, ordering the Tumuts not to go back to Yan'an City, but to pursue the Qing prisoners directly to the east.

At the same time, the Chahar cavalry marched eastward, towards Qingjian.

Qingjian has nearly 20,000 Qing soldiers, although most of them are Han soldiers, but only 10,000 Mongolian cavalry will definitely not be able to eat.

Inside the city of Yan'an.

Zuo Ruo opened an urgent report that was just delivered, and the vanguard of the Azig army broke through Zhushui County, which was only a hundred miles away from Xi'an City.

The rebels from all over Shaanxi are still gathering in Xi'an, and if the Ming army continues to pursue the Qing captives north, the newly recruited rebels in Xi'an are not worth trusting. Liang Chengbao's fake bald donkey seems to have some ability, but the time to stay by his side is still short, and it remains to be seen how his heart is.

Xi'an was breached only eight days ago, the hearts of the people of Shaanxi fluctuated, and after Azig gave up Hanzhong and led the army to counterattack Shaanxi, the Qing court had 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers and horses here. With 20,000 soldiers and horses, he wanted to pass through the northwest, and it was difficult to succeed without dangerous roads. But he marched thousands of miles into Shaanxi and crossed the Meridian Valley, and he had taken a dangerous road.

It is difficult to start the situation without taking risks, but if everything is dangerous, often walking by the river, it is inevitable that your shoes will get wet.

Offensive or defensive? Now he has only the scheming Mongols around him.

Holding Xi'an, there is a foundation in Shaanxi, and if you are as strong as Zuoruo, you are also in a dilemma at this moment. If the Qingjian army can be broken first, the Azig army should not be worried, otherwise it will fall into the dilemma of facing the enemy on both sides.
