Chapter 745: A Temporary Truce

Everyone was a little caught off guard by the mention of bald and fierce, and was willing to leave his son as a hostage, which shows the urgency of getting out of the bald and fierce, and even Song Nan had to admire that this guy can bend and stretch and give up, and his own son is open-minded, just for the sake of his own safe escape, worthy of being a hero in the world.

This condition must be agreed, not to mention that there is an extra prince as a hostage in vain, this is also a way to test the sincerity of the people of the bald man, if this can not be agreed, it is obvious that there is no intention to reach an agreement, and the bald man will definitely take a risk, kill the hostages and fight to the death.

Over there, Tulu's face was like ashes, and he muttered to himself, "Father Khan...... Father Khan, do you really want to keep your sons as hostages? Father Khan ...... Think twice. ”

The bald man said angrily: "What? Don't you want to? ”

Tulu was terrified, and he was unwilling to do a thousand or ten thousand in his heart, but he still said: "Erchen is willing to sweat for his father, but Erchen thinks that Mingren may not keep his promise......"

He wanted to reprimand him angrily, but after thinking about it, he leaned over and whispered in his ear: "Tulu, I did wronged you this time, but as long as the agreement is reached, your father Khan can get away and leave, and he will try to save you when he turns back." You just need to look like a man, a man who is pedantic, and he will think that we are sincere in making peace, and he will not take too much precautions against you. As soon as you return, Ben Khan will declare you heir, and I will be in your place in the future. Son, Father Khan, there is no way to do this, you have to understand Father Khan's difficulties. ”

Tulu knew that the matter was irreparable, and if he chirped crookedly, he might be cut off by his father Khan when he turned around, so why not show Xiàn a hero, so he straightened his chest and said loudly to the Ming side: "I...... I, Tulu, would like to stay as a hostage, this ...... Sincerity should be enough. I am the eldest son of Dayan Khan, the future master of the steppe, is this not enough? ”

Yang Yiqing took his eyes to ask Song Nan's opinion, but when he saw Song Nan, he laughed and said: "Enough, the eldest prince stayed as a hostage, which shows the sincerity of the Great Khan, so let's make peace and discuss the details." Trouble the eldest prince to move up, from now on, you are our man. ”

Tulu looked at the bald man with a sad face, and nodded his head and said, "Son, go ahead, take care of yourself." ”

Turuwa burst into tears, frowning and shouting, "What are you crying about? Useless stuff. ”

Tulu burst into tears and said: "Tulu is reluctant to ...... his father's sweat"

Song Nan pursed his lips and snickered, obviously scared and cried, but said that he was reluctant, this scene of the parting of father and son was really touching, so he beckoned and shouted: "Prince, it's not life and death, what is there to be reluctant to, if the two countries can be reconciled, my Emperor Ming will definitely build you a mansion to live in the capital, so that you can live happily with your beautiful wife and concubine, no more comfortable than living in your broken yurt room?" Don't waste time, it's not early. ”

Tulu kowtowed a few times to the bald man, and moved to the side of the Mingren, only to come, he was unarmed by the guards, and a few blades were put against the back of the heart, standing there trembling, his eyes glazed and not knowing what to think.

The two sides bargained and discussed, you are pregnant with a ghost, and I have no sincerity, but the face is still a decent negotiation, and at noon, a dense empty agreement was reached, Yang Yiqing specially brought a huge seal seal to stamp, falsely claiming to be the cabinet seal, and the bald man could not see a name for a long time, and he didn't want to show his timidity, and he didn't expect to have any problems, so he took out the seal of Dayan Khan he was carrying and covered it.

Although he was sure that the Ming people were willing to stop the war between the two countries, he would never give in to the hostage matter, and he would not release the hostages until he was outside the Great Wall; Song Nan understood that if he wanted to save the hostages, he couldn't be in a hurry, anyway, he had already decided to do the matter to the end this time, but he was not in a hurry.

After the agreement, the two sides said goodbye amicably, and asked the Ming army to send a meal of meat to celebrate the truce between the two countries, and Song Nan also agreed for the first time; Of course, the meat tartar sent up this time is to be cleaned raw, who knows what the Ming people have done on it, but in order to have the strength to leave this dangerous place, they can't care about any face.

In the early afternoon, according to the agreement, the Tartars began to evacuate. Under the supervision of tens of thousands of Ming troops, more than 10,000 Tartar soldiers and horses slowly climbed the Great Wall, and slowly descended on more than a dozen wooden ladders built on the other side, and more than 4,000 horses could not be taken across the Great Wall.

Song Nan led the generals to watch the Tartar soldiers and horses slowly withdraw from a distance, and Jiang Bin smacked his lips unwillingly: "Could it be that you let this guy retreat after doing evil?" ”

Song Nan said slowly: "When he killed women and children in front of me that day, I was determined to break his body into thousands of pieces, how could I let him be free." ”

Xu Tai said: "It's really a pity that the general let him go like this for the sake of these hundreds of women and children, and it may not be so easy to catch him in the future." Out of the pass of the Great Wall, a hundred miles away from a horse Pingchuan, to the Hetao Plain, that is the place where the Tartars operate, it is difficult. ”

Song Nan smiled and said: "I let him go for the sake of these hundreds of women and children, you must think that I am a woman's benevolence, which is understandable." If you change to any person, you will not hesitate to attack and take his dog's head. But what I want to say is that the life and death of the bald man is actually insignificant, and I have decided to take this opportunity to recover the Hetao and never suffer from the border troubles of the Ming Dynasty, and this agreement can also confuse the Tartars to take it lightly. Besides, in front of tens of thousands of troops, hundreds of women and children cannot be saved, even if they are slaughtered, what is the point? You may not want to listen to me, but I only ask, if the Tartar holds you and my wife, children, and parents, will you still think that I am a woman's kindness? ”

Everyone was silent, and Yang Yiqing sighed for a while: "The old and the old, the young and the young, the adults are telling us not to ignore the life and death of these people, women and children because they are not our relatives, and we must have the heart of treating other people's parents, wives and children as our own parents, wives and children." It's very thought-provoking. ”

Song Nan said with a smile: "I haven't thought about so many big truths, if I can save it, I must save it, if not, it is also their life." I hereby swear that if I can't control the bald fierceness with my hand, I, Song Nan, will take the official title and return to my hometown to farm. ”

……

In the evening, the soldiers and horses of the second prince Urus, who was twenty miles away, converged with the bald Mengke, and according to the agreement, when leaving the Great Wall pass forty miles, the bald Mengke put back hundreds of women, children and children who had suffered a lot, and the Ming soldiers who fell in the rear welcomed them into the army, and hundreds of women and children cried and knelt down in front of the generals, the scene was mixed with sorrow and joy, and it was embarrassing.

After being released to the people, the Tartar army retreated rapidly to the north, and the two watches were clear at the time of the military outpost to report that the Tartar soldiers had been eighty miles away without stopping, and the speed of the march was simply incomparable, which showed that in order to stay away from the land of right and wrong, the Tartar soldiers were also allowed to go out.

As the Tartar soldiers and horses retreated, everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and this fierce battle that lasted for months was over. Taking stock of this battle, although the soldiers and horses of the Tatar State were exhausted, they mobilized the strength of the whole country and spent several years of careful preparation for a large-scale attack, and finally ended in a disastrous defeat at the cost of losing nearly 150,000 soldiers and horses. And the Ming army suffered a lot of damage, in the two fiascos before Song Nan took office, more than 80,000 soldiers and horses were killed and wounded, dozens of generals were killed, Song Nan took over after the two sides fought a number of battles, the Ming army suffered nearly 50,000 casualties, plus the devastation of the people in the towns, the Ming army did not have much advantage.

But one thing has to be admitted, the tide of the war was immediately reversed after Song Nan took over, after the battle of Jingyu, the fierce momentum of the Tartars was contained, and then the Ming army rushed to the Tartars from the defense to the attack, if it were not for the advantage of the mobility of the bald and fierce honor guards, I am afraid that the area west of Guyuan and east of Jingyu would be strangled and wiped out.

After this battle, Song Nan's prestige in the Ming army reached an unparalleled level, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the idol in the hearts of the Ming soldiers. If the strength of the two sides in the battle of Jinglu is almost the same, the battle of the Great Wall Pass is a rare model of defending the battle with 20,000 soldiers and horses to resist more than 100,000 Tartar soldiers and horses, leaving people with infinite surprise and sighs.

It was night, there was a jubilant sound in the camp of the Ming army, and the nervous nerves that had been tense for months could finally be relaxed, and in the night when the whole army was drinking and eating meat and carnivaling, Song Nan's general tent was empty; The drunken Xu Tai and Jiang Bin came to pull Song Nan out for a drink, but they got the news from the guards: the general went out with fifty guards at the second watch, saying that he was going to find someone.

Under the questioning of Jiang Bin and Xu Tai, the guards said that the general's concubine Ye Fanggu had sneak attacked the enemy camp that night and the Condor cannon was missing, and suddenly his joy turned into consternation, it turned out that Song Nan had been talking and laughing freely in the past few days, but he had hidden the pain of losing his relatives in his heart; If it is an ordinary concubine, it is Ye Fanggu who is missing, the mother of Song Nan's children, and the wife of the dregs who followed Song Nan first. Others don't understand, but Jiang Bin understands the deep emotions between Song Nan and Ye Fanggu better than anyone else.
