Chu Yi said very clearly in that recital, directly to the son of tomorrow, he has returned to the division, and landed in Tianjin, at this time he has already rushed to Taiyuan Town, preparing to recapture Taiyuan Town, and completely block the back road of the Tatar army of Balsborough that went south into the Central Plains.

Everyone can understand why Zhu Houzhao has a happy look on his face, it is completely because of Chu Yi's return to the teacher.

However, after everyone learned that Chu Yi had returned to the division and planned to swallow the Tatar army in one bite, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, as if they were relieved all of a sudden.

Chu Yi's actions can be described as leaky, everyone has never seen Chu Yi do anything wrong, over time, as long as Chu Yi wants to do something, no one will doubt whether Chu Yi can do it.

Just like now, Chu Yi was about to swallow a Tatar army in Balsborot in one bite, and everyone inexplicably thought that since Chu Yi said it, then he would definitely be able to do it.

As for how to swallow the tens of thousands of Tatar elite troops outside the city, everyone subconsciously ignored it, anyway, Chu Yi dared to do that, there must be a way.

Chu Yi himself didn't know that Jiao Fang, Han Kun and the others, and even the Son of Heaven had a lot of confidence in him, thinking that as long as it was what he wanted to do, there was nothing he couldn't do.

Jiao Fang stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The chief manager personally went out on the horse, and the Tatars are afraid that it will be difficult to fly this time!" ”

Han Kun and Cheng Xiangwu laughed even more, and said to Zhu Houzhao with an excited face: "Your Majesty, the chief manager asked us to delay the Tatars for as long as possible to buy time for them to recapture Taiyuan Town, and the ministers implore Your Majesty to allow us to go out of the city to fight the Tatars!" ”

When the words fell, Jiao Fang, Chen Ding and others said in unison: "No! ”

Jiao Fang and Chen Ding reacted immediately, and almost instinctively raised objections.

This city is well guarded, with the city walls as a support, the Tatars will not be able to break through the city at all, and fools know that fighting with the Tatars in the field is to attack the enemy's strength with their own shortcomings, and a single careless may be completely annihilated.

After all, they also had to admit that when it came to field warfare, the Tatars born on horseback were not comparable to the Ming soldiers in either cavalry or field warfare.

Of course, if the elite army of Taizu and Chengzu who expelled Meng Yuan was still there, even if it was a field battle, they were not afraid of the Tatars, and the key was what the Ming army looked like at the moment, others did not know, as important ministers above the court, they knew it very well in their hearts.

Jiao Fang said to Zhu Houzhao, who had a look of emotion: "Your Majesty, you must not, the Tatars have tens of thousands of cavalry, and my Ming soldiers go out of the city, how can they have a chance of winning, even if they want to buy time for the general manager, then they can't joke with the lives of my Ming soldiers." ”

Saying that, Jiao Fang said to Han Kun and Cheng Xiangwu: "Several generals are all people who know the soldiers, don't you know that going out of the city to fight in the Tatar field is based on your own shortcomings and the strength of attacking the enemy?" Even if the old man doesn't read military books, he still knows this, don't the generals even know this bit of common sense? ”

Han Kun and Cheng Xiangwu showed a little embarrassment on their faces, how could they not know this, they were staring at Jiao Fang now.

I only heard Cheng Xiangwu cough lightly and said to Jiao Fang: "I don't know what Lord Shoufu said." ”

Jiao Fang snorted coldly and said: "Since you know this, why do you bewitch Your Majesty and persuade Your Majesty to allow the army to leave the city, are you going to give Beijing City to the Tatars?" ”

Seeing that Jiao Fang was put on the line, Han Kun saluted Jiao Fang and said: "Lord Shoufu, aren't I waiting to help the chief manager drag down the Tatars, besides, we are not trying to send a large army, but just sending a cavalry team of about 10,000 people out of the city." ”

Saying that, Han Kun said again: "If you want to come to the city with a cavalry team of about 10,000 people, it won't affect the defense of the city!" ”

Zhu Houzhao had a bit of hesitation on his face, looked at Jiao Fang and the others with a look of disapproval, and then looked at Han Kun, Cheng Xiangwu and others who were reasonable.

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Hou looked at Cheng Xiangwu and Han Kun: "Generals, if the cavalry is allowed to leave the city, can you guarantee that the army will not be destroyed by the Tatars?" ”

Zhu Houzhao obviously didn't want the cavalry on hand to be wiped out by the Tatars, but when it came to the prestige of the cavalry, even Zhu Houzhao didn't think that the Ming cavalry could kill the Tatars.

Not only are the Tatars born to be qualified cavalry, but there are too many Tatars outside the city, and there are only more than 10,000 cavalry they can handle, so this is still a lot of them. Compared with the Tatar army of 10,000 people, not to mention anything else, this number alone is much worse.

Cheng Xiangwu and Han Kun glanced at each other, and saw Cheng Xiangwu take a step forward and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, the minister will personally lead the cavalry out of the city, but after leaving the city, the minister will not fight head-on with the Tatar army, but will only find an opportunity to harass the other party and drag the Tatars out of the city as much as possible." ”

Zhang Mao, who had been sitting there, slowly got up at this time and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the chief manager's strategy is very good, and we should help the chief manager, and this cavalry must be sent." ”

Hearing Zhang Mao say this, Zhu Houzhao's eyes couldn't help but light up, and Jiao Fang and Chen Ding sighed slightly.

In fact, when Cheng Xiangwu and Han Kun said that they would only send cavalry out of the city, their original opposition was much weaker.

As Han Kun said, even if the cavalry is sent out of the city, it will not affect the defense of Beijing City, and the worst result is nothing more than the loss of more than 10,000 cavalry.

In terms of the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, if the more than 10,000 cavalry is really lost, it is indeed very painful, but it will not endanger the national capital, and this is directly related to whether Chu Yi's plan can go smoothly.

Regarding Chu Yi's plan to swallow the Tatar army of Balsborot in one bite, to be honest, Jiao Fang and the others agreed very much in their hearts.

As long as the Tatar army of Balsborot can be swallowed, the 100,000 Tatar army will be destroyed, which will definitely be a nerve-wracking for the Tatars, and I am afraid that it may not be able to recover for decades.

One is more than 10,000 cavalry, and the other is tens of thousands of Tatar troops, and the risk must be bearable, after all, if you want to get a greater gain, you must take risks.

Jiao Fang and several other pavilion elders glanced at each other, only to hear Jiao Fang say to the Son of Heaven, "Your Majesty, if you say that only cavalry is sent, the ministers have no opinion!" But General Cheng must ensure that he must not fight hard with the Tatars unless he has to! ”

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing when he saw Jiao Fang and the others nodding, and looked at Cheng Xiangwu with a fixed gaze: "General Cheng, since this is the case, then I will allow you to lead 10,000 cavalry out of the city and find an opportunity to contain the Tatar army. ”

Cheng Xiangwu took a step forward, bowed down with a happy face, and said: "The last general will live up to His Majesty's expectations." ”

said that Chu Yi led an army of 50,000 people, directly spared the city of Beijing, and went straight to Shanxi.

I have to say that the Tatars are too confident, although it is said that some sentry agents have been sprinkled around the city of Beijing, but these sentry agents are only around the city of Beijing for a radius of one or twenty miles, and there is no attention at all further away.

Although Chu Yi and the others have a large number of people, tens of thousands of people, and the movement is not small at all, but from Beijing City to Tianjin, the distance between the two places is not close, but the Tatars are not aware of it at all.

But if the Tatars take Tianjin City first, even if they can't stop Chu Yi's army from landing, they can at least get the news in advance.

But right now, the Tatars don't know that the Ming side is on the side of the Ming Dynasty, and an elite army of tens of thousands of people is heading towards Taiyuan Town.

If the Tatars knew about it, they would not dare to take it lightly, no matter how arrogant and confident they were, it would be absolutely impossible for them to sit back and watch the road blocked by tens of thousands of troops.

From Tianjin to Taiyuan, the journey is not at all, almost thousands of miles away, thanks to Chu Yi made arrangements early and prepared, even so, it will take at least 20 days to arrive in Taiyuan from Tianjin.

If it weren't for that, Chu Yi would not have been able to let the Son of Heaven cooperate with him to drag the Tatars as much as possible.

If the Tatars said that the siege of the city under Beijing was not smooth, once they chose to retreat, then with the speed of the cavalry, they would be able to reach Taiyuan Town in ten days at most.

And Chu Yi's men were a group of infantry soldiers, and their marching speed was not comparable to that of the Tatar cavalry at all.

This is a gap of at least ten days, so if the Tatars do not delay for one or twenty days under the city of Beijing, I am afraid that by the time Chu Yi leads the army to Taiyuan, the Tatars will have already left Taiyuan and returned to the grassland.

The army marched, the smoke and dust billowed out, and when viewed from the air, it looked like a long dragon lying on the ground.

A carriage was slowly moving forward in the middle of the army, and it was Chu Yi in the car.

As soon as the fast horse galloped over, he saw Lin Pingzhi take a letter and said to Chu Yi: "Chief Administrator, a letter from the capital!" ”

Chu Yi took the letter and opened it to take a look, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, needless to say, this letter was naturally written by Zhu Houzhao himself, detailing the current situation in the capital one by one, and finally hoping that Chu Yi could close the door and beat the dogs, and break the Tatar army, and then Zhu Houzhao would personally go out of the city to welcome him back to Beijing.

Just looking at the letter, Chu Yi could even imagine how excited Zhu Houzhao was when he wrote this letter.

Putting down the letter, Chu Yi walked towards Lin Pingdao, who was accompanying him outside the carriage: "Pingzhi, how long is it still from Taiyuan City?" ”

Lin Pingzhi said to Chu Yi: "Back to the Grand Manager, there are still about ten days to go!" ”

Chu Yi pondered and said: "Send an order to Xu Tianzuo and Sun Qiu, and ask them to urge the army to march and arrive at Taiyuan City within ten days." ”

Taiyuan Town

As an important military town, it is also an extremely important city in Shanxi, Taiyuan Town is adjacent to Datong Town, both of which are one of the important towns on the nine sides.

The fall of Taiyuan Town was broken by the Tatars, and the Miao family in the city was a great contributor to welcoming the Tatars into the city, which was naturally valued by the Tatars.

Balsborough led his army straight to Beijing, but handed over the affairs of Taiyuan Town to Miao Yuan, a great hero, to take care of.

As for the 5,000 Tatar army stationed in Taiyuan Town, it was led by the commander Hu Limu, who was a reckless man, and it was impossible to expect him to conquer the city, but it was extremely difficult to count on him to govern a city.

The Miao clan, as the biggest contributor to the Tatars' entry into the city, coupled with several families in Taiyuan Town who also took refuge in the Tatars, were barely able to maintain the operation of Taiyuan Town.

Because he was in a hurry to go to the city of Beijing, Balsborough did not loot the town of Taiyuan, but this did not mean that the Tatars spared the people of Taiyuan Town.

After Balsborot left, Hulimu, who led the army to garrison Taiyuan Town, was ordered by Balsborough to loot grain and grass in Taiyuan Town, and even snatched grain and grass from the people, part of which was kept for his own use, and part of which was transported to the capital to supplement the needs of Balsborot's army.

After all, tens of thousands of troops, people eat horses and chew, and the daily consumption of grain is extremely amazing, and what Balsborough and they carry with them is only a few days' rations, and it is by plundering from the cities that they have not run out of food and grass.

Taiyuan City, among the original prefect yamen, has changed from a merchant to a person in charge of the city, Miao Yuan is frowning in the yamen at the moment and sitting opposite several Tatar family masters who have taken refuge with him.

The head of the Lu family looked at Miao Yuan with a wry smile and said: "Brother Miao, General Hu Limu asked us to hand over 10,000 stone grain tomorrow, how long has it been, he forced us to hand over nearly 100,000 stone grain, if this continues, I am afraid that our family foundation will be hollowed out!" ”

The Lu family and several other families are not top families in Taiyuan City, and their net worth is only tens of thousands of taels of silver, and there can be tens of thousands of stones of grain in the family, which is already a family business saved by generations of talents.

I thought that a speculation would lead the Tatars to break the city, and the Tatars would eat meat, and they would also be able to have soup to drink.

The result was a good thing, Baalsborot first killed tens of thousands of soldiers, and even now that they think about it, they can't help but have nightmares.

Anyway, Balsborough handed over Taiyuan City to them to take care of, and as a result, Hulimu almost gave them grain and grass every day.

Hulimu scavenged grain and grass from the people in the city, and it was not their food anyway, but Hulimu forced them to offer food.

They wanted to learn from Hulimu to snatch food from the people, but after Hulimu robbed him, the city was almost starving to death, and no matter how hard they tried, they could not find much food.

However, in the face of Hulim's demands, they had to offer their grain on time, so that they could only offer the Tatars with the grain they had hidden.

Once, twice, several times, even if you have thousands of family wealth, you can't bear it!
