It was a cold, bitter winter, both in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty and in the southern grasslands.

The Han people endure half-starvation and half-satiety, and the Tumut people are also struggling to support themselves.

The Mongol tribes of Modong, who were oscillating between Lin Dan Khan and the Jurchens, finally could not bear the torture of famine and threw themselves into the arms of the Jurchens in Liaodong for food. Throughout the winter, the Chahar cavalry stirred up trouble in Modong to punish the tribal leaders who had betrayed the Mongol Great Khan.

When spring came, Lin Dan Khan finally couldn't hold on.

The Chahar tribe was unable to supply enough livestock, so Lin Dan Khan disbanded the standing 30,000 iron horsemen, leaving only 10,000 to garrison the Zhangba grassland, and leaving the other 20,000 people to return to the tribe to find their own livelihood, hunting or nomadic herding, in short, to find a way to survive.

The Tumut people in the Hetao steppe and the Helinger Mountains have killed seventy percent of their livestock, and most of them are desperate for the future.

In March, the spring rain on the grassland came late, and the rain fell from the sky for several days, and the grass began to sprout. Lin Dan Khan was overjoyed and came to the mausoleum of Genghis Khan on the outskirts of Naturalized City again to pay respects, thanking Changshengtian for not abandoning Mongolia and thanking his ancestors for their protection.

As long as the grass grows, the Chahars will be able to regain their vitality. Cattle and sheep will give birth, and the baby will give birth.

However, some people are reluctant to give them a chance to regain their vitality.

In March, the Jurchen Emperor Taiji ordered the cavalry of the Eastern Mongols to gather in Shengjing. The two sides have been fighting against each other for nearly ten years, and it is finally time to make a move against Lin Dan Khan. The Han merchants in Zhangjiakou passed the news, and Liaodong was right

Last year, we were well aware of the drought in the grasslands of Monan, and of course we would not return to the mountains if we were as shrewd as Huang Taiji.

In recent years, the Chahar Department has won successive victories in the conquest with the Mongolian tribes, and Huang Taiji does not dare to underestimate it. In April, the ministers of the Korqin, Zarut, Bahrain, Naiman, Aohan, Karaqin, Tumut, Alu Korqin, Ongniut, and Asuut ministries met on the banks of the Xilamulun River, with a total strength of about 100,000.

In late April, Huang Taiji personally led a large army across the Xing'an Mountains and stationed at the Duli River, ready to attack at any time.

It was late at night, and there was a lot of noise in the camp of the Eastern Mongol coalition army, and the tribal leaders were not clear about the specific movements of the Jurchen army, and the smart people knew it. Although they took refuge in the Jurchens for survival, the thought of being an enemy of the Mongol Great Khan and the descendants of the Golden Family still made some people feel uncomfortable.

The large camp of the Mongol coalition army was surrounded by the Jurchen Eight Banners camp, and no one dared to make an abnormality.

At the ugly hour, it was the best time to sleep, and in the Jurchen Yellow Flag camp in the northwest, two fast horses quietly rushed out and disappeared into the dark night in a hurry.

In the early morning, the army was ordered, and Du Du, the owner of the yellow flag, was shocked, and there were two less Mongols who raised horses in the camp, and two horses were missing.

The scouts went out and soon discovered the traces left by the Mongols when they fled, Du Du did not dare to hide it, and personally went to the Huang Taiji camp to ask for guilt.

In the big tent, all the generals gathered, Du Du put on his military uniform, and knelt on the ground when he entered the door.

"Great Khan, two Mongols who raised horses escaped from the Yellow Flag camp last night!"

"What?" Huang Taiji's broad body bounced up from his seat.

"Damn it!" Du Du really wanted to slap himself in the mouth, Shangsanqi was the Khan's personal soldier, and he was the banner master that the Khan had always trusted, why did something happen like this.

"You, you piece of shit!" Emperor Taiji Great Thunder. The fleeing Mongols must have informed Lin Dan Khan of the news of the Jurchen army, and a sneak attack was unlikely.

"Mongols, Mongols are dogs that can't be fed!" Huang Taiji was furious, it was rare to lose his temper like this.

Waiting for the Great Khan to calm down, Belle Yuetuo stepped out and said, "Great Khan, this matter is not to be worried. Even if the Chahars get the news, it's too late to react. Soldiers and gods, the recent rain in the grassland, the water and grass are abundant, our army should attack Lin Dan Khan with all its strength at this moment, and not give Chahar a chance to breathe. ”

The tent is full of Jurchen ministers. Huang Taiji nodded in approval and said, "You can also see that if Lin Dan Khan is not removed, the Chahar people will not be submitted, and my Dajin's control over the Mongols is not so stable." This expedition against the Chahars was imperative. ”

This is the shadow left by Genghis Khan, the pride of heaven, to the Golden Family among the Mongols for hundreds of years.

Yue Tuo controlled the horse thief Eru Zhuo of the Duoyan Grassland, had a close relationship with Fan Yongdou and others, and knew the recent situation of the Tumuts, and said: "You can contact the Tumuts in the Hetao area, if they can fight with our army from east to west, the Chahar people will definitely be in chaos!" ”

Huang Taiji's eyes fell on Yue Tuo, and he did not hide his approval, and said: "As it should be, the news has leaked, you notify the merchants of Zhangjiakou and ask them to contact the Tumut Mongolian Department to attack the Chahar people from east to west." ”

The Zhangjiakou Chahar garrison battalion, Amur got the news in the middle of the night, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly rushed to Lin Dan Khan's bed.

Lin Dan Khan was immersed in sleep with his arms in the bag of Dafu Jin, and the rain in the Monan grassland made it difficult for him to relax for several days.

Outside the tent, Amur was so anxious that the sweat tent guards did not dare to disturb the Khan's rest. The matter was urgent, and Amur did not dare to flinch and shouted loudly at the sweat horde guards.

Lin Dan Khan, who was asleep, was awakened, rushed out of the big tent shirtless, and was waiting for the fire.

Amur knelt on the ground and said urgently: "Great Khan, the Jurchens are here, and the Jurchen army has gathered in the Duli River. ”

In an instant, Lin Dan Khan was like a plate of cold water poured down from his head, and his drowsiness disappeared completely. The drought in the Monan grassland has just eased, and all parts of Chahar are scattered in the steppe nomadism, and it is impossible to gather all the cavalry in a short time.

"Careless, careless!" Lin Dan Khan paced back and forth, and the joy of the rain made him let his guard down.

Amur said anxiously: "There is still some time, please gather the herdsmen of the Great Khan to migrate to Mobei and work together with the three tribes of Mobei Mongolia."

5fa1 Jurchens. ”

The Jurchen army of 100,000 people poured the strength of the whole country. The Chahars are not an opponent even if they are prepared, and fleeing is an inevitable choice.

Lin Dan Khan calmed down and nodded: "Immediately sent an order, all tribes with rich people and many livestock are not allowed to stay in Monan, and all of them migrate to Mobei." ”

"The light cavalry scouts are on full alert in the east, closely monitoring the movements of the Jurchen army."

On the steppe in the middle of the night, the Chahar Khan ordered the cavalry to gallop towards Liangcheng, Jining Haizi, Tuoketuo grassland, and the settlement of the Chahar people. The sleeping Chahar herdsmen were woken up, packed their bags in the dark, and when the east showed a bleak whiteness, it flowed like a tide to the north.

The steppe was empty, and the Khan tent ordered the cavalry to urgently find all the herdsmen, Lin Dan Khan did not dare to wait for a long time, and in the afternoon of the third day, he led the 60,000 or 70,000 troops gathered, men, women, and children to migrate to Mobei together, leaving the Amur Department to continue to collect the scattered Chahar herdsmen.

The Chahars of Monan almost disappeared in three or four days.

Motianling is close to the Tuoketo grassland, and Princess Ulan soon showed something different. The Chahar herdsmen who had been densely packed in Tokto were gone, and the bold Tumut herdsmen went deep into the steppe and never saw a single Chahar tribe again.

It is not surprising that a small number of herders are migratory and nomadic, but now the Tuoketo grasslands are empty, and the grasslands where aquatic grasses grow vigorously are devoid of livestock.

Princess Wulan sent scouts to continue the search, and at the same time informed Zhai Zhe of Hanzhai.

Before Zhai Zhe's reply, the scout cavalry came back to report that the Chahar cavalry was galloping endlessly on the grassland, and a large number of Chahar tribes in Naturalization City were migrating north.

"It's time to wait! Finally waiting for this day! Although there was no definite news, Princess Ulan had a strong premonition that the most difficult days of the Tumuts were over. Unable to calm down any longer, she ordered all the Tumut tribes to hide in the cottage and personally prepare their horses to rush to the Han village.

Zhai Yan received a letter from the Tumut cavalry in the morning, and in the evening Princess Wulan personally rushed to Hanzhai.

"The Chahar people are all migrating north, probably to Mobei, there must be something wrong." Princess Ulan's forehead and temples were covered with sweat, and the weather in May had begun to slowly warm up, and the rapid galloping of horses made her gasp incessantly, and her plump chest rose and fell.

"Are you sure?" After waiting for so long, Zhai Zhe was very calm.

"Not yet, but now the Toketo grasslands are almost empty!"

"Don't worry, it's not time to act rashly." Zhai Yan suppressed his excitement with all his might, and at the same time motioned to Princess Wulan to calm down.

But after waiting for more than a year, after the most difficult time, finally ushered in a turning point, how could Princess Ulan calm down.

"The Chahars are still very strong, and they can kill us at the turn of a corner."

Zhai Zhe's words made Princess Ulan's boiling blood cool down, this is the last chance for the Tumut people, and there must be no mistakes. This past winter, the Tumuts lost most of their livestock and were on the verge of survival.

Zhai Zhe closed his eyes and thought carefully about every detail.

"You quickly inform the Tumuts in the Hetao steppe, let Ge Ri Letu take his livestock and his men to flee to the border of the Ming Dynasty, and don't let the Chahar cavalry seize the loop."

The most important thing now is to preserve his strength, of course, he doesn't know that Lin Dan Khan has no time to take care of the Tumuts anymore.

Princess Ulan nodded.

"How's the water in the Yellow River?"

"There was no heavy rain in Moxi, but the water level of the Yellow River rose after the spring rain in Monan, and the Junzijin ferry in the Tuoketo grassland can be passed by horseback." Princess Ulan and Geriletu have been in contact and are well aware of the condition of the Yellow River.

"Send a messenger to the end!"

Princess Ulan specially selected two cavalrymen with good water characteristics and galloped to the Junzijin ferry of the Yellow River in the Tuoketuo grassland.
