"Hehe, it seems that Yang Po'er can't be the princess of the Chijin Ulus......"

To the east of Xiaojiazhai, at the edge of the camp of the Northern Expeditionary Army set up by Zhuangshui and Guanhailing, Chen Dexing, who was inspecting the passage in and out of the camp, happened to meet Yang Aguo, who had returned, and said to Monk Liu with a smile after hearing the return.

"Big brother, do you really want to exchange Ashulu for Yang Po'er?" Monk Liu whispered to Chen Dexing, "I always feel that the old thief Tachaer is using some kind of trick!" ”

Chen Dexing raised his binoculars and looked at the wilderness and Xiaojiazhai not far away. The sky was getting dark, the day was about to pass, the land in the field of vision was dark, and some Eight Banners soldiers were walking around to protect the camp.

Ten miles away is Tachar's army, as long as they are defeated, Chen Dexing will establish a solid strategic advantage in Liaodong and Goryeo, and a country belonging to Chen Dexing can be said to be created. As for Tachar's trickery and conspiracy, in the face of absolute power, it is all a small skill of carving insects!

"Monk, let's give Tacha'er the old thief a little fantasy, if we don't give any illusion, why should this old guy fight with us?"

Chen Dexing paused, turned his head to look at Monk Liu, and suddenly asked: "Monk, do you say that Kublai Khan still has any tricks to turn the tide?" ”

"Kublai Khan?" Monk Liu felt that Chen Dexing's question was very abrupt, Kublai Khan seemed to have lost his temper completely, and the gate of Yanjing was blocked by Chen Dexing. According to the latest information, Kublai Khan is still negotiating peace with Ali Buge, and it seems that he is still going to cede Shaanxi and the hometown of Western Xia. said that it was in exchange for the support of Ali Buge and discussed Chen Dexing and Li Pu together, but Ali Buge and Kublai Khan had met each other in arms, and it was difficult for two tigers to be accommodated in one mountain. Is it possible to really cooperate?

Monk Liu shook his head slightly: "Brother thinks that Kublai Khan will not be able to do anything." Even if Ali doesn't make peace with his brother, he will still be caught between his eldest brother and Yidu. It's waiting for the eldest brother to take Kaiping. Yidu has Yanjing ...... It's just a bit of a pity! ”

The monk meant that Chen Dexing couldn't take Yanjing - this was an agreement with Li Pu! Without this agreement, there would be no foundation for the Chen-Li Alliance.

Chen Dexing said softly: "Kublai Khan is a hero, today, anyone who can be called a hero, except for me, is Kublai Khan!" Ali Buge is not a hero, neither is Lee Sang-gong, let alone Tachar...... It's just a chicken, a tile, a dog! Maybe I'll lose my life tomorrow! Seriously, I'm not worried about Tachar's trickery at all, but Kublai Khan. It's an opponent after all! Defeat Tachar, and we're likely going to face him!

Other than that...... Trouble will also follow in Lin'an! We have a set now, which is incompatible with Lin'an after all. Maybe Lin'an will unite with Kublai Khan against us! ”

"This ......" Monk Liu thought for a while, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Chen Dexing glanced at Monk Liu and smiled: "I'm just planning something far away and talking to you casually." ”

Monk Liu breathed a sigh of relief, and Chen Dexing turned around and said: "Since Ta Cha'er has agreed to fight with us, we must be ready to go out at dawn tomorrow, and all departments will be on standby at any time, and the Eight Banners Sentinel will go out more." Keep an eye out for the movements of the Mongol battalion. ”

Monk Liu arched his hand: "No!" ”

After Monk Liu left, Chen Dexing raised the telescope again, and the telescope was already vast and dim, and he could not see the Mongolian military camp ten miles away. But Chen Dexing seemed to be ignorant, and he muttered: "Tachar's tricks...... What could it be? ”

……

In the Mongolian military camp more than ten miles away from Chen Dexing, Tachar also held a telescope presented by Pu Shougeng. Look out over the wilderness to the east. It was already dark, and he couldn't see the camp of the Northern Expeditionary Army clearly. But he saw Xiaojiazhai, the village located in the middle of the two armies.

Tachar handed the binoculars to his soldiers, then turned to Hotu beside him. "What? You still don't agree to a decisive battle with Chen Dexing? ”

Huo Tu's big cake face was full of worry: "The decisive battle is good, Chen Dexing is getting stronger and stronger, and his Northern Expeditionary Army is getting stronger and stronger." But such an enemy should not be borne by us and the Ulus on their own. The forces of the whole of Greater Mongolia should be concentrated, why don't we take a step back and wait for Kublai Khan and Ali Buko Khan to reach an alliance? ”

"Reach an alliance," Tachar shook his head slightly and said to Huotu, "Your father Khan and I are not familiar with Ali Buge, but we have worked together with Kublai Khan for many years, and we have always led troops in Han, what kind ......of person Kublai Khan is, I know very well, he will not give up the Khan throne, even if he demolishes the Great Mongolian State!" ”

Huo Tu whispered in surprise: "Father Khan thinks that Kublai Khan will join forces with Ali Buge? However, the Han land has been greatly damaged, and even Liaodong is about to be destroyed...... If Mongolia can no longer unite, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

Tachar snorted coldly: "Kublai Khan can't be the Great Khan, and the consequences are unimaginable!" If you can't be the Great Khan, there is no Mongolian headquarters, and there is no other loss of Bali (Western Regions), and you can't command the four kings of our host. His Han land is under the attack of Chen Li again, how many days can it last? ”

Huotu shook his head and said, "No, Ali Buge will fight with him, and he will not dismantle the Great Mongolia." ”

Tachar smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Huotu, you are just a martial artist, I don't know what the people who are Khans think, if Brother Ali Buge will not dismantle the stage, then he is not worthy of being a Great Khan, and he cannot be a Great Khan...... And no matter what Ali Buge thinks, Kublai Khan will prepare for the worst! So here in Liaodong, only our host four kings ......"

After hearing this, Huo Tu said excitedly: "Father Khan, the child understands, the child will personally lead the palace tent warriors to charge tomorrow, and he will definitely kill Chen Dexing!" ”

Tachar laughed twice, and said heroically: "With the courage of Wu'er, and Guo Shoujing's flying rocket, after tomorrow, I will be the lord of the whole Liao!" ”

The laughter spread far away, and then disappeared in the empty wilderness of Liaodong, the northwest wind blew again, and the temperature in Liaodong almost dropped to freezing at night, and the last night before the war finally came.

……

At night, it was pitch black around Xiaojiazhai, and occasionally there was the sound of weapons intersecting and people shouting and neighing, and then the silence was restored - it was the two sides of the horse exploration rangers clashing in the dark night. After having the allegiance of tens of thousands of Eight Banner soldiers, the Northern Expeditionary Army finally had a cavalry and horse team that could compete with the Mongols for the battlefield!

This also means that the last shortcoming of the Northern Expeditionary Army has been filled, and this army already has the capital to crisscross the North!

Four or five miles away from the east and west of Xiaojiazhai, the camps of the two armies were brightly lit at this time, and the camps of both sides were lit with lanterns and torches, and the stars were dotted with wilderness, like two seas of stars. On the eve of the war, the warring parties no longer hide their strength, but bluff as best they can. Obviously, there are only 20,000 or 30,000 troops, but they have to put on a shelf of 100,000 troops.

Chen Dexing and several heavy generals and staff officers in the Chinese army prepared tomorrow's combat deployment, and then got up to inspect his large battalion, out of the Chinese army, just in time to see two infantry battalions with half an artillery company quietly pulled, did not light torches, their destination was Xiaojiazhai, which was less than four miles away from the camp of the Northern Expeditionary Army, to replace the Eight Banners soldiers who had been stationed there.

This small and sturdy village is expected to be an important stronghold for the two sides tomorrow, and it is very likely that Tachar will send someone to attack tonight!

At this time, a few small fireballs suddenly rose from the edge of the Tachar army camp in the distance, and Chen Dexing smiled proudly, this is the heavenly thunder arrow shot by the three-bow bed crossbow and hit the Tachar camp. Although this kind of Heavenly Thunder Arrow does not have its own power, it can also reach a range of hundreds of steps. Although the accuracy of the launch at night is not good, it is a good method of harassment. The Eight Banners sent by Chen Dexing tonight were all equipped with a three-bow bed crossbow, and they would open fire at every opportunity.

Less than 150 paces away from the edge of the right flank of the Northern Expeditionary Army's camp, a fire suddenly lit up, and then a few bright spots like fireflies flew out and landed in the camp of the Northern Expeditionary Army. It turned out that the Mongols were shooting rockets (that is, feathered arrows with strips of cloth soaked in grease wrapped around the arrows), and the purpose was also to harass!

In order to facilitate the deployment of troops the next day, Chen Dexing and Ta Cha'er coincidentally set up a wide front of their camp. The advantage of this is that as soon as the troops leave the camp, they can quickly spread out and form an array. Don't catch your opponent off guard. The disadvantage is that there are not enough men and horses to cover, so it is convenient for the opponent's night attack.

"King Ming! It's the king of the stars! Long live King Ming! ”

The infantry, who were leaving the barracks, suddenly spotted their god-like king, and some people could not contain the excitement in their hearts. Then the whole team cheered, and the morale was suddenly raised, I don't know how much!

Their cheers seemed to infect the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army who had not yet fallen asleep, and all of them began to shout together. Soon, the cheers spread from this camp to the camp and finally the entire camp.

"Long live King Ming! Banzai! Hooray! ”

The cheers were earth-shattering, and the Northern Expeditionary Army spread out more than a dozen camps, and at this time, the officers and soldiers, everyone stood up, raised their weapons and cheered to the sky!

The cheers swept all the way to the Tachaer camp opposite, and the Mongols and the Han army of Hong Fuyuan's family were also completely sleepy. Who doesn't know that there will be a decisive battle tomorrow? Who doesn't know that the camp less than ten miles across is the enemy they will encounter tomorrow? Listening to the cheers of these high-morale enemies, who will be able to sleep this night?

Liu Xiaoyuan and Guo Shoujing shared a tent, neither of them went to bed, and when they heard the cheers, they left the camp together, just looking at the brightly lit camp of the Northern Expeditionary Army. His brow furrowed more and more. I don't know how long it took, Guo Shoujing suddenly heard Liu Xiaoyuan beside him whispering to himself.

"Genghis Khan, this is Genghis Khan, the ...... Genghis Khan of the Han Chinese" (to be continued......)
