The news of the Ming Emperor's visit to Ulju was quickly confirmed, and Arislan quickly delivered the news to Ulanchar, the location of Dayan Khan's Golden Horde, in the rear.

The little prince of Tatar in the mouth of the Ming Dynasty monarchs and ministers is actually over forty years old, or it is more appropriate to call it an old prince, this monarch rose rapidly, swept the thorns, the Tatar tribes, and quickly put an end to the situation of the Tatar tribes scattered and sandy, and established himself as 'Dayan Khan' (the meaning of the Great Yuan Khan), and he was soon worshiped as a god by the tribes of the Tatar State, calling him 'the first great khan of the ages'.

The Mongolian name of this 'old prince' is Vulture Mengke, and it is natural to call him the first great khan of the ages, but this person is naturally not an ordinary person who ended the situation of Tatar division in a short period of time and unified the tribes under his own golden horde.

After ascending the throne, the little prince was deeply hostile to the Ming Dynasty, and his ancestors were driven to Gou'an in Mobei by the Ming Dynasty.

When the news from the former banner of Chahar arrived, the old Tatar prince Bald Fierce was whistling and chasing a group of steppe wolves in the steppe outside the city of Ulanchar; When the guards around him read the letter to him, the bow and arrow in his hand were drawn and aimed at a wild wolf under the hillside, and when the letter was finished, the bald hand shook, and the arrow was several feet off, and not even a single wolf hair was touched.

The Golden Horde warriors who followed were silent, Dayan Khan was superior in force and skillful in archery, his arrows never missed, as long as the prey he aimed at, there was only one end, and that was death; Dayan Khan also did not tolerate defeat, not only against his generals, but also himself.

Dayan Khan must have been angry when he missed this arrow today, and anyone could be his punching bag at this time, and the guards had seen Dayan Khan return to his tent to slash three maidens who were waiting in the tent after losing the sheep contest.

However, Dayan Khan's wrath did not come, on the contrary, Dayan Khan's mouth burst into laughter, threw his bow and arrow to the ground, reached out and took the letter from the guard's hand, read it carefully, raised his arms to the sky and said with a smile: "Immortal Heaven help me, the opportunity has come." ”

Bald Meng Ke quickly led people back to Ulanchar, and immediately summoned the leaders of the tribes and his generals to announce the news, and finally said: "Everyone, you can celebrate in advance, our chance for revenge has arrived, and soon after, I will become the real Great Yuan Khan, and we will be recaptured by the Han people." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and one of the tribal leaders asked, "Dear Great Khan, although your words are encouraging, we don't think it has anything to do with the Ming Emperor's patrols in their border towns. ”

Bald Meng laughed and said: "That's the opportunity you didn't feel here, the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty didn't come sooner or later, but at this time he went to the border town to inspect, isn't this a big opportunity?" If we could catch this little emperor in the border town, what kind of scene would it be? ”

"Honorable Great Khan, do you mean to go and capture this little emperor? I'm afraid this is not easy, besides, it has been more than ten days since the news reached the golden tent of the Great Khan, and the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty in Ulzhou is afraid that he has already fled without a trace, even if he knows that he is still in Ulzhou, how can we catch him? ”

Bald and laughed: "The news of Arislan is very clear, the whereabouts of the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty are northwest, that is, his movement is Datong border town, it is obvious that he is going to inspect the defense of the border; After passing through Datong, either he went west to the Lingzhou area, or east to Xuanfu, I speculate that it is more likely that he will go to Xuanfu, because the westward march is full of wind and sand and Gobi, and the road is far away, and he will definitely not be able to bear it as a pampered little emperor, and it is impossible for him to leave the capital for too long; Therefore, Ben Khan deduced that he was going to return to the capital after the inspection of the Xuanfu. ”

Everyone looked at the map and nodded slowly, admitting that what the Great Khan said made sense, but this was just speculation, and how could they guarantee that they would definitely rush to Xuanfu.

Bald Meng could see everyone's doubts, stroked his yellow beard and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, Arislan has sent a wide range of scouts to inquire about its movements, and the scouts have sent a message with a harrier eagle, and there will be definite news in the near future; What we have to do is to gather troops and horses to get ready, this is the best opportunity given to us by the Immortal Heaven, and I will definitely not let it go; You will gather men and horses to stand outside the city of Ulanchar, and I will order people to go to Ordos quickly, so that Ji Neng can send 10,000 cavalry on the right flank to assemble. ”

A tribal leader with white hair frowned and said: "Great Khan, it's not good to gather soldiers and horses before the news is confirmed, in case the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty has already turned around and returned to Beijing, won't the soldiers, horses, grain and grass be tossed in vain?" Besides, even if we know its whereabouts, with our Tatar troops, how can we resist the more than 100,000 male soldiers in the border towns of the Ming Dynasty? This is absolutely not feasible. ”

Bald Meng Ke raised his eyebrows and shouted angrily: "Are you doubting Ben Khan's decision? Thuluwen, Ben Khan knows that there are many strange things behind you, and he wanted to give you a chance to prove your loyalty, but now it seems that you don't need it at all, your loyalty has been taken away by the wild dogs of the steppe, and from this day on, your tribe will be under my account, and you will no longer be the leader of the tribe. ”

Chiluwen exclaimed, "Great Khan, how can you be like this? My loyal servants to the Great Khan are known to the sun and the moon. ”

"If you open your eyes and talk nonsense, you will be abandoned by the Immortal Heaven, Chiluwen, leave you five hundred food estates, and you can take them to the northern grassland to graze horses."

"Great Khan, you are really vicious, I Chiluwen loyally worked for you, my tribe sacrificed the lives of thousands of warriors for you, but in exchange for these; I understand, you want to annex my tribe, you want to grab all the tribes on the steppe, don't you think! ”

Bald Meng sneered, slowly turned his back, and suddenly turned around, the cold light flashed in his hand, and a long knife slashed down, and Chi Luwen didn't even snort, and his head was split in half.

"This old thing is confused, and he actually slanders Ben Khan so much." Bald could wipe the blood from the long knife on Chiluwen's body, and his eyes looked around at the panicked leaders in the tent.

"Is Ben Khan the kind of person he says he is? Surely some of you think that Ben Khan is taking away the people, the cattle and the sheep under your tent, and in order to show Ben Khan's intentions, I declare that the five thousand households of the people and the cattle, sheep and horses under the tent of Chiluwen shall be divided equally among you, and Ben Khan will take nothing. ”

The leaders were frightened, and they were chilled by Dayan Khan's ruthlessness, but when they heard this, they suddenly showed joy one by one, and Chiluwen died, but the benefits were given to everyone, you need to know that the white thorn tribe of Chiluwen occupies the fattest pasture, and also produces the most beautiful girls, which is the most coveted tribe, if it weren't for the fact that Chiluwen was the first to submit to the Khan's right-hand deployment, everyone would have wanted to move his hand a long time ago; Now that the Great Khan had slaughtered him with his own hands, but had cheapened the group, the people soon forgot about the ferocity and ruthlessness of the bald man, and turned to praise it loudly.

Bald and fierce Ke said solemnly: "Follow Ben Khan, sooner or later, there will be a day when you occupy the Central Plains, and at that time, the people of the Han people will be your slaves, and the women of the Han people will be your crotch, and the gold, silver and jewelry will be piled up as high as a mountain of white heads, and you can spend whatever you want; But before that, you must carry out the decision of Ben Khan without objection, and there is no loyal person in exchange for not wealth but butcher's knife. ”

The leaders were excited, and they all said that they would obey the orders of the Great Khan and return to their tribes to reorganize their troops and horses.

The next morning, the harrier eagle who flew from the front banner of Chahar brought good news, and the scout horses sent to investigate found out the movement of the little emperor's chariot of the Ming Dynasty, and they crossed the Datong Mansion to the border, and it seemed that they were going to go east through the inner side of the Great Wall, and cross the remaining veins of the Taihang Mountain to Xuanfu.

Bald Meng can carefully study the route, this road is the Ming army's border town guards, from the north of Datong Gaoshan Wei, Zhenyu Wei to Tianchengwei, and then to Xuanfu's Wanquan left and right guards and Huai'an Wei, are the Ming Dynasty's heavy army gathering place, any place is not suitable for hands. There is only one place in between that is a vacuum zone, that is the junction of Xuanfu and Datongfu, where is the natural passage divided by the Taihang Mountain and the Daqingshan Mountains, and there is only one place where the soldiers and horses can quickly arrive at the rescue, that is the Ulzhou Wei in the south.

With the strength of the Ulzhou Guard's soldiers and horses, the bald and fierce can be completely ignored, but the problem is that if you do it here, you must also make a feint in Datong and Xuanfu to attract the attention of the Ming army, otherwise once you are caught in two places, the consequences will be unimaginable; Even if there is a high mountain barrier, the Ming army can be reinforced by the plank road of the Great Wall, and the speed is a little slower, but it is by no means impossible.

Without further ado, according to the speed of the Ming Dynasty emperor's car, it would take about seven or eight days to reach the neutral section of the defense, and there would not be much time left for him to deploy his troops.

The about 20,000 soldiers and horses assembled outside the city of Ulanchar sent 10,000 flying horses to the eastern foot of Daqing Mountain, and cooperated with the right battalion of the front banner of Chahar to feint to attack Xuanfu Wanquanwei, and he led 10,000 cavalry straight to the junction of the two provinces to intercept the chariot of the Ming emperor.

In the evening of the same day, the army set out, a long line of torches on the grassland outside the city of Ulanchar, stretching for miles away, the horses' hooves crushed the silence of the night, and the residents inside and outside the city closed their felt tents one by one, praying that the immortal heaven would bless the army for safety.

At the same time, at the foot of the majestic Great Wall on the northwest frontier of Datong, the sound of silk and bamboo in the camp of Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty was leveled out, and he did not know that the danger was approaching.
