Two days later. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

According to the agreement, today is the day when the supply of grain and grass arrives at the camp of the Ming army. However, the quartermaster who was preparing to meet in front of the battalion, left and right, but there was never a figure of the baggage soldiers. In order to prevent accidents, I was preparing to ask for instructions on whether it was possible to send a team of cavalry south from the large camp to meet them.

But the alarm bell sounded from the watchtower, and the sentry shouted, "More than 100 horsemen are coming from the south!" ”

The officer on duty hurriedly climbed the watchtower, looked at it with the special clairtelescope made by the six Jinyi guards, and first breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Our scouts should lead the way, and they should be their own people." Immediately, as if he thought of something, his expression became frightened.

At this time, you can see without a clairvoyant mirror that several scouts of the Ming army led nearly a hundred remnants of soldiers to gallop over......

When they got to the camp gate, the quartermaster recognized that they were clearly the troops responsible for escorting grain and grass!

The non-commissioned officers of the garrison apparently recognized these men as well, and they began to talk nervously. At this time, a baggage officer led by him turned over and dismounted, staggered and shouted: "I have an urgent military situation, I want to report to my grandfather!" ”

Chinese Army.

In the commander's tent, Wang Xian, Liu Sheng and others looked cold, listening to the heavy officer crying:

"Two days ago, we had just marched north with grain and grass, and we were only ten miles out of the city, and we were surrounded by tens of thousands of Tartar cavalry! Without saying a word, they began to attack the convoy, although the small ones fought to the death, but the enemy army was too strong to fight hard, not only the grain and grass were taken by the Tartars, but most of the brothers were killed on the spot......" Speaking of this, the officer couldn't hold back any longer, and began to cry loudly, crying while sobbing: "In the end, the commander made the lord desperately cover us and others to break through, and ordered us to come and report to the grandfather quickly...... Woo, grandpa wants to avenge the little ones! ”

In the officer's cry, the atmosphere in the big tent froze to the extreme, and everyone looked sad and angry to the extreme, since they set out on the expedition, the number of injured soldiers is not as large as the number of dead in this battle!

"Who ate the bear's heart and leopard's guts and dared to touch our people?!" There are short-tempered generals who have already beaten their chests and are ready to draw their swords and go out to kill.

"Can you see how many Mongols there are and which tribe?" Although Mo Wen's eyes were full of anger, his expression became more and more calm, and he asked the officer in a deep voice: "Also, what about the situation in Guning City?" ”

"The Mongol cavalry attacking the grain team was at least 30,000 men, without any banner, and it was impossible to see what the way was coming." The officer stopped his tears, paused and said: "After we broke through, they did not pursue, but went straight to Guning City, there are only a thousand guards in the city, and I am afraid that it will also fall into the hands of the Mongols at this moment......

Mo Wen asked for some more details, and when the officer had finished telling all he knew, he asked him to take him down to rest.

The sergeant stepped forward and helped the scarred officer, but he suddenly struggled and kowtowed to Wang Xian, and suddenly blood came out of his forehead, and he shouted miserably: "Grandpa, you want to avenge your brothers!" ”

Wang Xian nodded heavily, stepped forward to help the officer with his own hands, stretched out his hand to wipe the tears on his face, looked at him resolutely, and replied in a deep voice: "No matter who it is, I will let him return it tenfold!" ”

The officer nodded, tears welling up again.

When the officer was helped out, the Chinese army tent exploded, and the generals were furious, and they asked Wang Xian to fight, wanting to lead his subordinates south to avenge the dead soldiers!

Wang Xian frowned slightly, and Liu Sheng on the side scolded the generals angrily: "All scare and shout fart!" Do you know how many enemy troops there are, and what are the origins, and they will take revenge with their armies? Is it revenge, or is it death?! ”

On weekdays, Liu Sheng specializes in singing blackfaces, and let him scold him, the generals all obediently shut up and gradually calm down. This calmness doesn't matter, it's just a lot of scary thought......

The grain route of the army was cut off, and the grain and grass in the camp could only support less than three days, and the 30,000 Tartar cavalry that could have more than 30,000 miles away were a hundred miles away in the south, and a hundred miles away in the north, and Arutai and his more than 10,000 soldiers and horses were hidden......

Originally, the army was already in control, but it was just struggling with the question of whether to completely destroy the enemy soldiers, but in the blink of an eye, the situation took a turn for the worse, and it was already in danger......

Nervous and worried emotions surged into the hearts of the generals, and they all looked at Wang Xian, not knowing how the coach would decide.

Wang Xian's demeanor was as usual, he paced a few steps in the tent with his hands behind his back, looked at Mo and asked, "It's Duoyan Sanwei." ”

"There is no one else but them." Mo Wen nodded and said: "The vitality of the Warat people has not recovered, the strength is less than 10,000 people, and they are far north of Shaanxi, it is impossible to cross the Hetao and come across thousands of miles. As for the Tatars, in addition to the remnants of the Arutai army, they can still raise twenty or thirty thousand horses, but they are far away in the north of the desert, and they need to protect the foot soldiers, so it is impossible to go out and attack us in the south. ”

After a pause, Mo Wen continued: "As for the other tribes, they don't have 30,000 horses combined, and the only Mongolian tribe that can send 30,000 cavalry to cut off my back route is the Duoyan Sanwei in Liaodong." ”

Hearing this, the generals gasped. If that's the case, it's a big problem. The so-called Duoyan Sanwei refers to the Mongolian tribes living in Liaodong, during the Hongwu period, the Northern Yuan Dynasty perished, these tribes were subordinated to the Ming court, and Emperor Taizu set up Duoyan, Taining and Fuyu Sanwei in this area. At the same time, the Ming court conferred official positions at all levels on the leaders of the three guards, and carried out entrapment and restraint. This is the origin of Duoyan Sanwei.

What really made Duoyan Sanwei famous in the world was the battle of Jingyan during the Jianwen period, Zhu Di was able to seize the world with a mansion, and Duoyan Sanwei played a big role. At that time, Zhu Di faced Li Jinglong's army of 600,000, went to Liaodong in person, borrowed the elite cavalry of Duoyan Sanwei from King Ning, and returned to defeat Li Jinglong. In the subsequent Battle of Jingyan, the cavalry of Duoyan Sanwei has always been the backbone of the Yan Wang Army, and has made great achievements for Zhu Di's Jingnan.

After Zhu Di ascended the throne as emperor, in order to reward the Duoyan Sanwei who had "meritorious service in the war", he decided to reward them with the land of Liaodong, and decided to open mutual markets in Kaiyuan and Guangning for the Duoyan Sanwei Mongols and the Ming Dynasty to carry out trading activities. But later, Zhu Di felt that this was too much of a threat to Beijing, so he reneged on his promise and did not allow them to move south to the Daning area, near Shanhaiguan.

Duo Yanwei was naturally very dissatisfied, in order to obtain the right to reside in the Daning area, he united with the Tatar Department of Alutai during the Yongle period to harass the Ming Dynasty together, and was naturally beaten by Zhu Di. Only then did Duo Yanwei recognize the situation and understand that Zhu Di was no longer the Yan King who had to rely on them at the beginning, but the Ming Emperor who had millions of troops and could not take care of themselves at any time. After that, he honestly stayed in Liaodong and paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

On the surface, Duo Yanwei didn't dare to cross the thunder pool by half a step, but they never surrendered sincerely. Four years ago, when the King of Han rebelled and borrowed troops from them with a lot of money, Duoyanwei dared to really send 5,000 cavalry to cross the sea and land in Shandong on the King of Han's military ship, participating in the rebellion, in a vain attempt to repeat the scene of the Battle of Jingjing.

Although it did not succeed later, the Ming Dynasty did not really punish them, because the Duoyan Wei army had hundreds of thousands of people and nearly 100,000 people, which was a powerful force on the same level as the Tatar Warat. Now, with the fall of the Varat and the heavy losses of the Tatars, they have become the most powerful Mongol tribe!

In the Chinese military tent, although it has been determined that the enemy must be Duo Yanwei, the generals still feel incredible.

"Although there is a covenant between Duoyan Sanwei and the Tatars, it is already the old yellow calendar, and as Arutai has continued to grow in recent years, the friction between the two sides is not small, and it has become a fire and water." A general asked strangely, "How could they risk being requisitioned by the Ming Dynasty and send a large army to help Arutai?" ”

Contrary to common sense, although the Mongol tribes belonged to the same race, they hated each other far more than they did with the Han Chinese. It is not difficult to understand that the Han people attacked them and withdrew after the battle, and they did not annex their territory and people. However, the war between the Mongol tribes was aimed at annexing each other's territory and people, and naturally it was not endless.

"It's really incredible," Liu Sheng twisted his beard, and his face was full of puzzlement: "When did Duo Yanwei become so bold?" As long as the Ming Dynasty cuts off the border and mutual market with them, their lives will not be able to go on, and the heads of those Duoyan nobles will be stuck in horse manure? ”

"Whether it's impossible or not, they're already there." Mo Wen said in a deep voice: "We must immediately decide how to deal with it, and we can't delay for a moment!" ”

The generals nodded one after another, and the army only had three days of rations left, and indeed it could not be delayed for a moment, so someone proposed: "We should immediately withdraw our troops to the west, and if we go south, we may be attacked by Arutai and Duoyanwei." ”

As soon as these words came out, the generals thought so, and it seemed that there was only one way to go west back to Hetao.

"Nonsense!" Liu Sheng blew his beard and glared: "In the several military stations in the west, there is not a single grain of grain and grass, so we have eaten wind and urinated for more than a thousand miles?" ”

"But Master Hou, we have no way to go elsewhere!" Usually, after being reprimanded by Liu Sheng, basically no one dared to say more. At this time, the general stubbornly said: "The number of people in Duoyanwei is much more than ours, and there is no need to even go head-to-head, as long as we are entangled for a few days, we will be so hungry that we can't even hold weapons!" When the time comes, they can only be slaughtered ......"

"Look at your cowardice!" Liu Sheng spit a mouthful of thick phlegm on the general, and scolded: "Just now I was shouting for revenge, why did I get instigated when I heard that it was Duo Yanwei?!" Saying that, his stern gaze swept over the generals, and shouted: "Going west is a dead end!" ”

"What Master Hou said is extremely true." Mo Wen nodded and agreed: "If our army retreats, the Tatars and Duoyanwei will definitely come to the end, our army will be cut off from food and grass, the army will be scattered, and the army will be defeated and flee for thousands of miles, and how many people will be able to escape back to the Hetao in the end?"
