Chapter Ninety-Seven: Just like a tiger lying on a barren hill

Xia Dade glared, and slowly the restlessness in the crowd subsided, Xia Dade smiled: "You dare to fight back, okay, it's still a little bloody." I don't know if you are following the wrong person, but I know that there is a road in front of you now, are you willing to follow the butts of this group of Shandong reckless men to pick up the remnants, or are you willing to establish your own merits! ”

"At this moment, I, Xia Dade, say a word here, I dare not say that the meritorious person will definitely be rewarded by the imperial court, but he will also be reused by my Xia Dade and incorporated into the Shandong regiment training army. There are not many opportunities in this life, but now I have given you a chance, whether you can grasp this opportunity, whether you are a bad seed depends on your own performance! After Xia Dade finished speaking, he turned over from the stage and arranged training.

In the next half month, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court received training that they had never thought of in their lives, and they were happy or unhappy, and whether they were full or not were put aside, and most of the soldiers did not shout to give up even if they fainted, and everyone was holding back a lot of strength in their hearts. Xia Dade only trained for seventeen days before it was over, first, time was pressing, and the most important thing was that Xia Dade felt that this group of people had reached the limit.

After all, they are just ordinary soldiers, not the kind of elite soldiers who have been carefully selected through layers of screening, nor are they the old Shandong troops who have been trained for several years from scratch, what supports them is only the yearning for a better life and the evil fire caused by Xia Dade's words before. Now in the face of arduous training, these meager wills have been exhausted, if this continues, I am afraid that the morale of the army will be weakened, and the soldiers will also collapse, it is better to end here, let them get the joy of victory and enrich their self-confidence.

Xia Dade did the right thing. If the great wisdom is foolish, it is not an exaggeration to put it on Xia Dade as an adjective. Under the leadership of Xia Dade, in just seventeen days, this group of soldiers was reborn mentally, so that Qi Jingtong was taken aback when he saw it, and called Xia Dade a good general in the world. Yes, indeed a wizard with troops.

Xia Dade led the troops to the battle, and the 7,000 soldiers and horses said that it was not too much, but it was not much less. But this kind of number is rare in foreign wars, especially when dealing with the northwest nomads, the Ming Dynasty is often more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, not to mention 70,000 or 80,000, dare 7,000 people to go deep alone, I have to say that Xia Dade is bold. Cavalry is the nemesis of infantry. It is really difficult to fight against the nemesis, to be strong with the weak and to win more with less.

Xia Dade's actions were not fast. In his case, the speed of the soldiers seems to be not established at all, how cool and comfortable the day and night are, how to march, and swaggering into the hinterland of the four countries of the melee. In fact, at the moment when Xia Dade took the hinterland from the Ming Dynasty and opened the army, the Sentinels of the Four Kingdoms discovered it. And quickly repay their own khan. In addition to this, the Great Khan of the Yarkand Khanate, Said. The other three khans were worried.

Although 7,000 soldiers and horses can't make a big difference to the entire battle situation, it is also a troublesome matter, not to mention that the Han people are good at using stratagems, who knows if these 7,000 soldiers and horses are a trick to deceive the enemy, and there are bigger killing tricks waiting for them? Said was besieged by Uzbekistan, Turpan, and Yili to the three kingdoms of Uzbekistan, and he was already miserable. Seeing that in addition to a little help in the early days, the Ming army patronized and took the opportunity to encroach on the territory and did not send troops to rescue. hated so much that his teeth itched, and scolded Lu Bing for being a child who was untrustworthy. But now he saw the light, and immediately sent a messenger to contact Xia Dade, hoping that Xia Dade would come to the rescue and solve Yarkand's urgent need.

Xia Dade warmly entertained the messenger of Yarkand, the wine and food can be made, if there are beautiful women in the army, they are also entertained, so that the messenger of Yarkand can not find the north, so when he goes back, his mouth is full of good words, and Said's is also excited.

Xia Dade readily agreed to Said's request, and agreed to attack Tulupan together and tear up the breakthrough. Compared with Yili Jiangli, Turpan is a greater threat to Yarkand, not only because of the geographical location, but also because the contradiction between the two families is the deepest.

Knowing oneself and knowing that the other is victorious in a hundred battles, this Han people's proverb Saide naturally knows the Tao, and he also collects information about Xia Dade as much as possible, when he learns that Xia Dade has a rude personality and speaks rudely, and is Lu Bing's sworn brother, the corners of Said's mouth appear except for a trace of an imperceptible smile. He finally discovered that Lu Bing also had unsatisfactory points, and it was a taboo for the sake of his relatives, but he was afraid that Lu Bing's insidious plan of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight would fall short on the reckless Han Xia Dade.

In May of the tenth year of Jiajing, according to the agreement, Sayid launched a fierce counterattack on Turpan, gave up the direction of Yili and Uzbekistan's attack, and hit Turpan desperately, as if he wanted to fight to the death.

Tulupan was shocked, since the siege of Yarkand, they have rarely received such high-intensity resistance, but thinking of Xia Dade's troops slowly wandering around the vast land, so they were suspicious to fight with Yarkand, and at the same time divide the troops to prevent the Ming army from taking the opportunity to attack the rear position, the front battle and the backyard fire is not fun, and the bottom of the kettle will definitely lose.

Seeing that Yarkand was going to fight to the death with Turpan, he had no time to take care of the other two sides, so Uzbek and Yili quickly occupied the land of Yarkand with Riga troops, taking advantage of the competition between Yarkand and Turpan, just to divide it as soon as possible and make a profit.

The Uzbek Khanate was not very fortified in the far west, and Turpan was an ally of Turpan, and Turpan did not send many troops here, but it was different. In order to prevent the Ming army from sneaking up on the border of Chen Bing, the army in Turpan was deployed near the border of Yili Jiangli, and Yili was particularly nervous.

Looking at the unrighteous wars in the Spring and Autumn Period, the wars between countries since ancient times have been untrustworthy. What if it is a long-term attack on Yarkand, Yarkand and Turpan put aside their past prejudices and deliberately acted in such a play, taking the opportunity to attack Yili and Li, what should I do?

However, at this time, it was a good time to give up the emptiness of the Yarkand country, and he was unwilling to make the Li, so he also tried to divide the army policy, focusing on attacking the Yarkand and dividing the territory and garrisoning the Yarkand Khanate and preventing the surprise attack of Turpan. Originally, Yili was relatively weak, and the family base of the old empire had long been exhausted in the constant war, and now it was tossed like this, and the domestic army was completely empty.

And at this time, Xia Dade ordered to send 500 soldiers and horses to guard the baggage, and the rest of the men and horses to supplement the food and grass for three days, carry light siege weapons, and attack Yili to make the capital of the Li Khanate!

Just like a tiger lying on a barren hill lurking minions to endure, ten years without a sound, a blockbuster!

—————————————————————————————————————

Meng Xueqing rubbed her somewhat sore head, Mi Thirteen, Mi Thirteen, where did you hide, you stirred up people's desires, and made Da Ming embattled and the world was in chaos, but it was hidden, was it the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind or did you run away when you saw something bad?

Meng Xueqing thought for a while, but she didn't figure it out, so she stood up and walked out: "Prepare the car." ”

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed in front of Meng Xueqing's eyes: "Madam, Master Lu said, don't let you go far, it's a special period, and it's inconvenient to go out of the city." This voice was slightly frivolous, but what he said was serious, this person was not someone else or Ji Lianhong of the Nanwu faction.

Ji Lianhong has a lonely and arrogant personality, and his nose is facing the sky all day long, even if he comes to the Lu Mansion, which is full of talents, he has never looked at anyone, but he has become even more rampant, but he only respects Meng Xueqing alone. The reason why he appeared in the Lu Mansion was because of Lu Bing's invitation, and others didn't say anything about it, but Duan Qingfeng was resolutely opposed.

First, Duan Qingfeng didn't like this rampant fellow practitioner very much, and secondly, when Ji Lianhong and Lu Bing were competing in martial arts, he had said something indecent, and the content of that sentence was directed at Meng Xueqing, Duan Qingfeng was only afraid that Ji Lianhong would have bad intentions, and he would protect the old man in Beijing and Lu Bing was not at home, in case Ji Lianhong made it bad, then no one could stop it.

It's just that Duan Qingfeng has a weak heart and only sighs helplessly, the capital is an important place of officialdom, if Ji Lianhong's character lets him follow Lu Song, he may cause a lot of trouble.

And Lu Bing's so-called employment is not suspicious, and there is no doubt about it, which is also quite reasonable. Since he defeated Ji Lianhong, he has used virtue to convince people regardless of his past suspicions, and a letter Ji Lianhong rushed all the way to the capital to fight with Bai Yu and others, which shows that Ji Lianhong's temperament is still acceptable. As for the arrogant face on weekdays, it is nothing more than the result of arrogance. Lu Bing has encountered a lot of people with different hearts over the years, so you can't just look at the surface, Lu Yao knows that the horsepower has been seen for a long time.

Of course, Lu Bing can't be unguarded at all, the hundred refining elite soldiers and various martial arts people left at home are not decorations, although they are not defeated by Ji Lianhong, they can also protect the master, but when they encounter top masters, they still need Ji Lianhong to settle down, which is also the main reason for Ji Lianhong to come. Lu Bing felt uneasy even if he laid a net, but Ji Lianhong's arrival made him feel a lot more at ease.

In fact, to be precise, not only Ji Lianhong came, but the entire Nanwu faction's family moved.

Since the last time Ji Lianhong entered Beijing to help Lu Bing, it is said that the two sides are clear, but Lu Bing still spent a lot of money to rebuild the temple for the Nanwu faction. Although this money is just a drop in the bucket in Lu Bing's opinion, it is indeed a huge amount of money for the Nanwu faction. As a result, Lu Bing also gained the reputation of repaying grievances with virtue, as well as the support of the Nanwu faction.

This time, everyone thought that Ji Lianhong had to take a shelf, but they didn't expect Ji Lianhong to immediately agree to come to help, and the Nanwu faction was under construction, so all the people in the Nanwu faction lived in the Lu Mansion, one could defend the Lu Mansion, and the other could also look at Ji Lianhong. Fortunately, the Lu Mansion is huge, and the Nanwu faction has few people, so even if the entire sect is installed, it doesn't feel like anything at all. (To be continued......)
