After being so angry that he vomited blood last time, King Warat's body is now much worse than before, and he can't stand any stimulation, he asked with the anger in his heart.

The minister said: "Now we are fighting the Ming army in the city, and the Ming army does not fight us head-on, presumably they are also trapped by food and grass, but they have sent people to the north, presumably to attack our capital while our army is concentrated here." ”

"What? You say they are going to attack our capital. King Warat suddenly jumped up from his throne and was furious: "What you said is true? ”

The courtier thought of the consequences of Li Changqing, that is, he was killed because he thought of the wrong idea, where did he dare to talk more, and hurriedly said: "This is just the minister's conjecture." ”

The name of the king of Warat on the battlefield is Yexian, and he is not the real king of Warat, but he is the real ruler of Warat.

The real Khan of Warat is named Tokhtarbuhua, and he is cowardly and incompetent, and he is unable to balance and control his ministers at all.

He also had military exploits in the war, and soon became the dictatorship of the court, and he called himself the king of Wara, claiming to be the king of the same word as Tokhtar Buhua.

Now that he heard the report that it was Jian Huaizhen who had sent Nangong Jiuzhong to lead people to attack the capital of Wara, he was surprised, happy and angry in his heart.

I was surprised that I didn't expect Jian Huaizhen to come up with such a strange strategy, and I was happy that if the people led by Nangong Jiuzhong could kill Totoku Buhua, wouldn't he be able to take the opportunity to ascend to the throne of Khan at that time.

The angry thing is that if this matter spreads and he loses in the hands of a Ming Dynasty woman, wouldn't he be laughable and generous.

He couldn't make up his mind whether to bring troops back to the capital to rescue him.

His courtiers immediately panicked, although now he was also known as the king of Warat, but the real Khan of Warat was always the king of detachment. What's more, the capital is the fortress of Warat, if there is anything wrong in the capital, Warat may be captured by the Ming Dynasty at that time.

The courtiers talked a lot, and they asked to bring the troops back first, and it was important to save the capital first.

Seeing that the courtiers were so insistent, they had no choice but to agree. Now there are 180,000 soldiers stationed in the city, and for the sake of insurance, 50,000 people were ordered to guard the city, and the remaining 130,000 people followed him back to Beijing to rescue him.

Nangong Jiuzhong's army went farther and farther, and first led the 130,000 army to follow, and soon the city was empty.

The spies sent by Jian Huaizhen came back and reported: "I also hit the plan first, and went back to the capital with many troops to help." ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard this, he knew that this was a good time to attack.

At this moment, although there are still 50,000 guards in the city of Warat, the generals who remain are just mediocre people. They thought that the army of the Ming Dynasty had gone to besiege the capital, but they didn't expect that Nangong Jiuzhong only took 20,000 people away, and the real army of 80,000 was still gathered outside the city.

Jian Huaizhen waited until Yexian's army was far away, and immediately ordered an immediate siege of the city.

The night was dark, and he couldn't see his five fingers, and occasionally there were one or two crows in the night, which sounded like a ghost in people's ears, and the army of the Ming Dynasty silently surrounded the city of Wara.

At this moment, the 50,000 Varat defenders in the city were still asleep, how could they have thought that at this moment, an enemy would suddenly attack them.

The Ming Dynasty's army of 80,000 surrounded the city without much effort, and soon attacked the city.

At this time, the army of Warat woke up from its sleep, but it was too late.

The armies of the Ming Dynasty were all brave and vigorous, and everywhere they went, there were the cries of the Wara soldiers.

The war lasted for more than two hours, and soon more than half of the 50,000 troops in the city of Warat had been killed or wounded, and the rest were only remnants of the defeated army, which was not enough to deal with. In addition to the dead and wounded, the rest of the Warat army fled, scattered, and walked, and there were not many Warat people in the entire Warat city.

Seeing that everything was going well, Jian Huaizhen ordered the army to continue the march.

Jiang Shaoheng persuaded her and said: "Princess, although we have captured this city in Warat now, the soldiers are already extremely tired after a night of running. If we send troops now, I'm afraid that the soldiers will be exhausted, so it is better to let them rest for a while. ”

Although Jian Huaizhen felt in her heart that saving soldiers was like fighting a fire, it was not unreasonable to hear Jiang Shaoheng say this, so she said: "Since this is the case, I will order the brothers to rest." ”

Jian Huaizhen took some people to count the remaining grain in Warat City, and found that the remaining grain was enough for 100,000 troops to eat for more than ten days. In this way, there is no need to worry about the problem of Tang Jingran and Li Xian's side transporting grain and grass.

The soldiers had a good meal and a good rest for the day.

In the evening, Jiang Shaoheng automatically asked for help and asked to lead the army to continue northward.

Jian Huaizhen said: "Since the soldiers are almost rested, why don't we move north together." ”

Jiang Shaoheng shook his head solemnly and said, "By all means, the way of using soldiers lies in the real and the false, and the false and the real." Although the army of Warat has now been defeated by us, the 130,000 troops led by Ye Xian surpass us in strength. If we leave now, they will also send troops to besiege our base camp with their deceitful tactics, and we will be the ones who will be frustrated. Now, it is better for you to lead the 30,000 army to guard here, and the rest of the 50,000 troops will be under my command, and I will lead them to rendezvous with Nangong Jiuzhong. ”

Jian Huaizhen saw that Jiang Shaoheng was confident, and it seemed that everything was being calculated, so he asked, "Brother Shaoheng, do you already have a plan in your heart?" ”

Jiang Shaoheng smiled slightly and told him what he was going to do.

It turned out that Jiang Shaoheng had already read the map in advance, and knew that if he also retreated north with the Warat army to rescue the capital, he would definitely pass through a place called "Red Menggu".

Although the "Red Menggu" claims to be a valley, in fact only one side is surrounded by mountains, and the other three sides are often empty, and there is a large open space under the foot of the mountain that can be attacked. The Warat army set up camp, and if it could take advantage of the mountain to burn the company camp, it would definitely be able to annihilate the entire Warat army at that time.

When Jian Huaizhen heard Jiang Shaoheng say this, she couldn't help but admire his way of using troops very much, but she still had doubts and said, "Brother Jiang, how do you know that the Warat soldiers will definitely camp here?" What if the wind blows at night is not the direction we want? ”

Jiang Shaoheng smiled and said: "That Hongmenggu faces the southwest, I have already observed through the stars that the northeast wind will blow today, and as long as we attack with fire at that time, the Warat army will definitely not be able to escape." ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard Jiang Shaoheng say this, her heart suddenly calmed down, and she couldn't help but admire Jiang Shaoheng when she saw that Jiang Shaoheng was so powerful.

After Jiang Shaoheng said goodbye to Jian Huaizhen, he marched forward with 30,000 troops, and they walked all the way, and soon arrived outside the Red Meng Valley.

It turned out that Jiang Shaoheng's plan was indeed not wrong, and the king of Warat also led his army to the place where the capital must pass through, that is, Hongmeng Valley.

He also wanted to chase Nangong Jiuzhong first, but he didn't expect that there would be someone ambushing behind them at this moment, implementing the strategy of catching cicadas and yellow finches behind the praying mantis.

The last time the soldiers led by Li Tianyou were planted in the hands of Jian Huaizhen, it was because the terrain of the Tianhe Valley was easy to defend and difficult to attack. And now they are resting in the Red Menggu, which has a very different topography from the Tianhe Valley.

Hongmenggu was surrounded by mountains on one side, and the other three sides were flat, so as long as they wanted to escape, they would definitely be able to escape, so he was not worried that any soldiers would come to besiege here.

At night, the group camped at the foot of the Red Menggu Mountain.

Yexian's powerful courtiers were by Yexian's side, and said to Yexian: "I don't know why the king marches so slowly? If we rush to the capital, and the army led by Nangong Jiuzhong has already invaded the capital, how can it be good? ”

He also laughed first and said, "What if Nangong Jiuzhong is to attack the capital with the army?" Not to mention that he led a rabble, but that he only brought with him a maximum of 70,000 or 80,000 people, and that we were twice as many as theirs, and that it would not be easy to inflict heavy losses on them? They actually made a big mistake by thinking of the method of seeking the near and far. ”

When the right-hand men around him saw that he was so conceited, they could not persuade him.

It turns out that he was also very conceited, and if others persuade him from the side, and he feels that he does not like to listen to the "persuasion" in his heart, then the person who advises will suffer.

After first ordering the soldiers to set up camp, after chatting with the powerful courtiers, he ordered the soldiers to rest.

The army led by Jiang Shaoheng soon pursued to the outside of the Red Menggu Valley, and Jiang Shaoheng saw that the soldiers were traveling a long way, so he also ordered them to camp and make a fire and rest dozens of miles away from the Wara army. The reason why he ordered his army to camp so far away from the Warat army was simply because he didn't want the Warat army to discover their army, so he was suspicious.

Everyone in the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty knew that Jiang Shaoheng had a lot of tricks, and he must have thought of a new special plan when he brought them here this time, so everyone was very excited and their morale was high.

Around midnight, Jiang Shaoheng ordered the rested soldiers to get up and prepare for battle.

Jiang Shaoheng first ordered the soldiers to stretch the battle line, line up, each with bows, arrows and fire in their hands, and then walked forward. The battle line of the soldiers was stretched very long, and almost the entire Hongmeng Valley was encircled.

Soon all the soldiers came to the outside of the Red Menggu Valley, and Jiang Shaoheng ordered some people to climb from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and prepare the fire from the top of the mountain to shoot down.

The other part surrounded it on all sides, because every man had a bow and arrows and fire, and he was not afraid of the enemy even if he escaped. After all, no matter how powerful a person is, he is always as powerful as a raging fire.

After everything was arranged, Jiang Shaoheng gave an order and ordered the soldiers to shoot rockets.

At this time, it was really a northeast wind, the northeast wind was cold and whimpering, and the voice was miserable and miserable, floating in everyone's hearts.

The rockets soon hit the tents of the Warat army, and the flames burned, and the Warat soldiers, who were still asleep, suddenly smelled the fireworks. When they came out of the camp tent, they saw that the fire was already raging outside, and the raging fire had burned to all the camp tents, and they became afraid.

The first to wake up screamed wildly, hoping to wake up his companions.

At this moment, he was also awakened first, he heard the shouts of the soldiers, and saw people coming and going outside, and it was a mess. And looking at the camp accounts on his side, almost all of them have been burned.

He also shouted in his heart, "It's not good, it's a trick again", and then blew the horn and ordered the soldiers to break through quickly. He secretly said in his heart: Fortunately, there is only one side of the mountain in this Hongmeng Valley, and there are three sides to escape, so it is not so difficult to escape.

He ordered the soldiers to break through, but at this moment all the soldiers were already in disarray, who would listen to him? Everyone trampled on each other, and before they knew it, many people were trampled to death by their companions, and the rest also broke out. But the Ming army is surrounded by layers of copper walls and iron walls outside, where is it so easy to break through.

The rockets of the Ming army were like ghosts into the camp of the Warat army, and this long arrow was borrowed by Jiang Shaoheng from the Warat army, and now they are the ones who bear these long arrows.

After several hours of firing rockets, most of the Varat army was killed and wounded, and only a few thousand escaped.

Jiang Shaoheng deliberately ordered people to notice Ye Xian, and he and Fang Xiao personally went to arrest Ye Xian.

In the early morning, he also took a few cronies to attack outside, but was arrested by Jiang Shaoheng and Fang Xiao. Jiang Shaoheng and Fang Xiao's martial arts are so strong, where are the first few guards to be their opponents.

Soon, there was no way to do it, so I had to be caught. Around this time, Jian Huaizhen had already arrived with someone.

Although Jian Huaizhen was very confident in Jiang Shaoheng's plan, she was still a little worried in her heart, so she ordered her generals to lead the troops to guard the base camp, and she hurried over with thousands of people. Seeing the situation in front of him, Jian Huaizhen choked up for a while, although it was the Warat people who were killed and injured, but no matter who it was, he had his own brothers and sisters, wives and children.

Jian Huaizhen knew very well in his heart that tolerance to the enemy on the battlefield was cruelty to oneself, so one must not be tolerant of the enemy. But when she saw such a tragic scene in front of her, she couldn't help but feel heavy in her heart.

Jiang Shaoheng saw Jian Huaizhen suddenly coming, and hurriedly greeted him, smiling at Jian Huaizhen.

Jian Huaizhen knew what he wanted to say, what he wanted to say was "we have won completely".

Jian Huaizhen also smiled, everything was silent.

Fang Yu also walked over first, and said to Jian Huaizhen: "This is the Yexian of Warat, who has been caught by us, and it is this person who seeks to usurp the throne and is known as the King of Warat." The person who took off Buhua was originally very cowardly, and he didn't have the heart to attack the Ming Dynasty, everything was carried out under the instigation of Yexian. ”

Jian Huaizhen had already heard of Ye Xian's behavior, and now that he saw that he had become a prisoner of his subordinates, he couldn't help but sneer: "Ye Xian, you didn't expect that there would be this day, right?" When our emperor of the Ming Dynasty was caught by you, how did you torture our emperor, we will torture you tenfold today. ”

Jian Huaizhen's threatening words made Ye Xian shudder. He was originally so angry that he had hemoptysis because of the defeat of the army, but now when Jian Huaizhen said this, he only felt a stirring in his heart, a burst of sweetness in his throat, and a mouthful of blood spit out.

also fell into the hands of Jian Huaizhen, Fang Xiao and Jiang Shaoheng first, and became very frightened, he knelt down and pleaded: "You are the imperial princess of the Ming Dynasty, right?" I've heard of your heroic deeds, so please let me go. ”

Jian Huaizhen didn't expect that the dignified King of Warat would be so greedy for life and afraid of death, she sneered and said: "Why should I let you go, didn't you lead an army of 300,000 to invade my Ming Dynasty in the south?" If I let you go today, I don't know what will happen in the future. ”

He was also panicked for a while, he looked at Jian Huaizhen blankly, thought for a long time, and suddenly said: "As long as you are willing to let me go and let me do anything, I can exchange it with you with a very valuable thing, I believe this thing must be what you want." ”

Jian Huaizhen didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd, so he thought for a while and said, "In that case, you take out the things first." ”

Then I fumbled in my sleeve for a long time, found a contract, handed it to Jian Huaizhen and said: "This is the contract signed by your Ming Dynasty Cao Jixiang Cao Gonggong and our Wara, and it is also the certificate of Cao Jixiang's betrayal, haven't you always wanted to cure Cao Jixiang to death?" With this contract, you can easily punish him. ”

Jian Huaizhen took the contract and looked at the contents, and knew that most of this contract was true, otherwise, why would the army led by Cao Tie lose military rations on the way?

Jian Huaizhen smiled coldly, raised the long sword and slashed it first.

He also hurriedly blocked it with his hand, his arm happened to touch Jian Huaizhen's long sword, and one hand was cut off by Jian Huaizhen with a long sword. He looked at Jian Huaizhen in horror, his face was full of panic, and he held back the pain in his heart and said, "You, you, the eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty, are so discredited?" ”

Jian Huaizhen's expression was very calm, and she said with a smile: "How can I not be trustworthy, you should come and hear it." ”

also pointed to his severed hand on the ground and said, "You clearly promised me that as long as I take out Cao Jixiang's contract of treason with the enemy, you can let me live." Why is this woman of yours rebelling again, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the world? ”

Jian Huaizhen glanced at him calmly, and said slowly: "King Yexian, I think you are mistaken, just now you said that you wanted to exchange your life with me with Cao Jixiang's contract of betrayal, but I didn't agree." ”

"You, you, you, you're not a good person." also came up with such a remark in a hurry.
