Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
"The imperial court really wants to remove you from the position of general!" Fan Yongdou was sweating profusely, his expression was stocky, and his eyes narrowed into slits, "I came back from the capital to sue you." ”
"Is the eldest brother's message accurate?" Zhai Zhe played with the dark waist knife in his hand, which was a gift from Lu Xiangsheng.
"Absolutely! The paperwork of the military department has been issued, and I only got the news after I walked the door. ”
Zhai Zhe's face was cloudy, he began to believe this rumor, Fan Yongdou would not come to lie to him. Looking at the seemingly loyal face in front of him, he couldn't wait to give him a heavy ear scraper, he was now extremely sure that if he was removed by the imperial court this time, he would definitely have the credit of this businessman. Although he and Fan Yongdou are relatives, they are not friends, and he does not want to see the Fan family ruined because of Fan Yi, but if Da Shengkui goes bankrupt, he will still feel happy about it.
"You should have planned ahead!" Fan Yongdou sat for a while, and his panting state improved slightly.
"What can I do?" Zhai Zhe sneered.
Fan Yongdou shook his head slightly and didn't say much. Zhai Zhe is a smart man, there is no need for him to draw snakes here, how can a person with five thousand elite horsemen be captured. He has never controlled so many soldiers and horses, but as far as the Da Sheng Kui he is in charge of, whoever wants to take away his Da Sheng Kui, he will fight with whomever he wants.
"Anyway, thank you brother for coming to me to reveal this news!" Zhai Zhe smiled, "The army is shabby, and there is no cup of tea, I'm really sorry." ”
"Then I take my leave, and if there is a place for me, just ask!" Fan Yongdou looked like he was obligated and left.
"Will Guild Lu resist it for me? Will he be able to withstand it? Zhai Zhe slowly pulled out his waist knife. If he goes out of the fortress again, he will never come back, Daming will not accept a repeated person, and the generals under his command may not all follow him, it will be a road to overcome obstacles.
At the end of June, the fighting at Fort Victory finally eased, and the newly built castle was riddled with iron bombardment, but it was finally defended. Datong general Jiang Pan has been sticking to the castle, he shines in this fort battle, and has been praised by Lu Xiangsheng many times.
The hottest heat was coming, and the soldiers and horses of the various departments temporarily retreated, and Zhai Zhe was ordered to lead the cavalry into Fangshan and meet Lu Xiangsheng in the barracks in front of the Victory Fort. When he saw Lu Gong again, Zhai Zhe couldn't believe his eyes. Lu Xiangsheng was plain and uniform, his face was haggard, his expression was sluggish, and his eyes were swollen.
After saluting, Lu Xiangsheng kept looking at him without speaking, and Zhai Zhe's heart suddenly drummed, and he didn't dare to ask more.
"Are you still going to get out of the stopper?"
Lu Xiangsheng's words were pressed down like a boulder, so that Zhai Zhe didn't know how to answer, he didn't know what Lu Xiangsheng meant, so he was afraid that if he answered wrong, he would die in Lu Gongjun. Judging from the case of Wang Dengku, Lu Gong is not a pedantic person, and if he suspects that he will flee to the grassland if he is dismissed by the imperial court, he does not know if he can still be allowed to live.
After a long silence, Zhai Zhe replied with difficulty: "It's all up to the Governor's arrangement!" He kicked the ball back and didn't show a word.
"Do the Mongols still need you to get out of the fortress?" Lu Xiangsheng's voice was hoarse.
"According to my plan with the Chahars, I will join forces with them to besiege Naturalization." Zhai Zhe told the truth.
"You are stationed in Fangshan, and you can no longer enter and leave the grassland at will!" Lu Xiangsheng thought for a long time and added: "In addition to besieging naturalization!" ”
"Yes!"
"Peace of mind for Da Ming!" Lu Xiangsheng waved his hand to signal Zhai Zhe to leave, as if reminding him of something.
Not far from the camp, he saw Yang 6kai also wearing a plain suit and walking towards this side, Zhai Zhe hurriedly stretched out his hand to greet him, "Brother Yang!" ”
"General Zhai!" Yang 6Kai turned around and walked over.
"What is this?" Zhai Zhe pointed to his filial piety clothes.
"Lu Gong's father has passed away! The news I got three days ago was not revealed until the Qing prisoners retreated. ”
"Ahh Zhai Zhe opened his mouth and couldn't close it, it was really eventful.
The cavalry returned to the Fangshan barracks from Fort Victory, and Zhai Zhe tied a white cloth to his right arm, "Lu Gong's father passed away, does Lu Gong want to worry?" "His brain is a mess, if Xuanda Town does not have Lu Gong, will it be a good thing or a bad thing for him?
"It's useless to think so much, I don't know if I'm still a general of Datong when the time comes!" Zhai Zhe laughed self-deprecatingly. It's better to rely on others than on yourself, in fact, no one in this world can be relied on, just like Omubu Khan, every time he wants to rely on himself, he will be sold once.
Separated from the Qing camp in Tuoketuo and the south of the naturalized city, he had no way to contact Ezhe in the Hetao grassland, and he saw the reaction of the Qing captives. Guihua City is surrounded by a large army, and it is dangerous to sneak attack again, and Zhai Zhe will not disregard the safety of the Mongols for his own safety.
The silence of the grassland is filled with murderous intentions, and so is the Ming Dynasty.
July.
This is the peak of the year, and after the month the temperature will gradually decrease until the snow and ice freeze. Since ancient times, the four seasons have been cyclical, like a never-ending river of time.
Scouts in the grass peered into the nomadic tribes in the distance, the scimitars of the cavalry reflecting their light in the scorching sun.
"Kill!" The horses galloped, the knights leaned over their horses, and their bows and arrows struck the shepherds opposite, the best cavalrymen in the tribe. After a long and arduous journey, they did not have time to rest, and how vast the grassland in front of them was, how big their battlefield would be.
Looting the livestock on the opposite side, killing the herders on the other side, the same situation, in different places. Modong and Moxi, separated by the entire vast grassland, are giving birth to the same thing.
The only difference is that Moxi is only a Tengger Desert away from the Hetao grassland, and there is a grassland difference of nearly 1,000 miles between Modong and Guihua City.
When the defeated cavalry of the tribe left behind crossed the Yellow River and rushed to Chahar's tent at the risk of death, he was stunned. For example, a hungry man who is longing for food is suddenly told that there is nothing left, and the next meal is gone.
"When did the Jurchen cavalry cross the desert?" He grabbed the scout by the arm.
"Ten days ago!"
"Aren't there cavalry left behind in the tribe?"
"No one thought that the tribes were scattered in various places and nomads, and most of the tribes were old and weak women and children, please return to the army to save them!" The scouts wept blood.
"How many?"
"I saw more than 3,000 cavalry! I don't know if there will be a follow-up. ”
Rescue must be saved, but after the army withdraws from the Hetao, Huang Taiji will never let go of this opportunity to pursue, Ezhe gritted his teeth. If the news of his defeat spread throughout the steppe, the strange soldiers heading to Modong would be useless, and Tushetu Khan would no longer take them in.
Omubu Khan hurried to the outside of the tent to ask for a meeting, and the Tumut tribe and Hannu were also already in the Moxi steppe.
"Mobilize 20,000 cavalry and return to Moxi first!" In the end, he chose a compromise solution. He was afraid of the combat power of the Jurchen cavalry, and he was afraid that if there were fewer men and horses to be mobilized, he would be defeated more than he would lose, but there were more men and horses mobilized, and he was afraid that he would not be able to hold the Hetao.
The cavalry of the Hetao Grassland Brigade flowed, and the two sides had been facing each other for so long, and such a large-scale movement of troops and horses could not hide secrets at all, not to mention that some people of the Tumut tribe had a deep-rooted relationship with Liaodong.
