Jia Cong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and he didn't expect that it was actually the mission sent by the old slave.

What's even more unexpected is that the old slave wanted to unite with the Mongolian Khalkha and deal with Dachu together, but fortunately, he was destroyed by himself.

I don't know much about the history of Liaodong in the late Ming Dynasty in my previous life.

It is only known that Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, entered the city of Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself, and the Ming Dynasty perished.

Subsequently, Li Zicheng robbed Wu Sangui's woman Chen Yuanyuan.

After Wu Sangui found out, he was angry and led the Qing soldiers into the customs and killed Li Zicheng.

Now after all, it is Da Chu, and history has turned a corner, and it is really difficult to say which direction it will develop in the future.

He inadvertently intercepted and killed the old slave's mission, and the old slave would not give up when he knew it.

Now that the old slave has unified the barbarians and has his own political power, it is full of ambition, and when he is ambitious, if anyone slaps him in the face at this time, he will definitely not stop.

The destruction of his own mission in Mongolia must be counted on the Mongols, and it may lead to a great war.

If this is the case, it will be a good thing for both Da Chu and himself.

He looked up at Li Biao and said: "Tell me to go down, don't mention today's matter to anyone, violators of military law will do it, pack up the spoils, and we will leave immediately." ”

"Yes, Third Master, I'll give you the order."

Li Biao agreed, turned around and went down to carry out the order.

Qingwen said: "Third master, there won't be trouble in this matter, right?" ”

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Don't worry, there will be no trouble, let them keep it secret because they want to push this matter onto the Mongols, let the two groups eat dogs, it is best to have a big battle and consume each other's strength." ”

Jia Cong came to the two captives and inquired carefully about the situation on the barbarian's side.

It's just that this question surprised Jia Cong, this time the messenger who led the team turned out to be Mang Gurtai, the fifth son of the old slave.

Mang Gurtai was named Heshuo Belle by the old slave, and Daishan, Amin, and Hongtai were called the Four Great Beylers, ranking third among the four, so they were called the Three Beylers.

In order to win the trust of the Mongolian Khalkha Department, the old slave sent his son Mang Gurtai as an envoy, which shows that he is full of sincerity.

After inquiry, it was learned that the mission's outpost had discovered Jia Cong's team and reported it to Mang Gurtai.

This reckless Gurtai took a fancy to his steel armor and wanted to kill himself and others and take the armor for himself, so he chased after him and prepared for a surprise attack.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that Jia Cong and the others discovered them in advance, took the lead in the charge, and shot Mang Gurtai to death with an arrow.

One of the four dignified Baylors, Heshuo Baylor died like this.

It's no wonder that Gurtai is greedy, a hundred sets of stainless steel armor are still very useful on the battlefield.

Putting on the soldiers who take the lead in the charge can not only reduce casualties, expand the results of the battle, and even affect the battle situation.

Just like Jia Cong's personal soldiers, wearing armor, after three skirmishes, he didn't die a single person, which sounds a bit incredible.

But when you think about it, you find the truth.

If you don't wear armor, it's definitely not a matter of minor injuries, but serious injuries or even death.

If it weren't for Jia Cong and his kung fu masters, rushing to the front and blocking the strongest impact, many people would definitely die.

This is the role of General Meng in ancient warfare.

The first is to take the lead in rushing and killing, improve the morale of the soldiers under him, strengthen the courage of the soldiers, and play an exemplary role.

That is to say, the general is the courage of the soldiers.

The generals are brave and take the lead, and the soldiers under them will all be brave and brave to be the first.

The generals are timid and afraid of death, and they will hide in the rear in every battle, and the soldiers under them will definitely cheat and play tricks one by one, and they will run away when they see that things are not turning around, and they have no consciousness of fighting to the death.

This is what people often say, one soldier will bear a nest.

Mang Gurtai's death is really not a trivial matter, this matter is a big deal, and the old slave will not give up.

It seems that there will be a big war between the barbarians and the steppe Khalkha tribes.

The old slave was in full swing at this time, and it was estimated that he would not be the opponent of the old slave with the Khalkha Department alone.

Looking at the two captives in front of him, in order to keep the secret and not let people know, Jia Cong directly sent them back to the west.

At this time, everyone had already packed up, and Jia Cong gave an order and returned to the tribe with the spoils of war.

After a few more days, Borchi finally returned, bringing back good news and bad news.

The good news is that Borchi has been recognized by Taiji and has become a veritable leader.

The bad news is that in return, Borchi's tribe doubles the annual tribute they pay to Taiji.

In Jia Cong's opinion, this is not a big deal, as long as the position of the tribal leader is recognized, all the efforts are worth it.

A few supplies are nothing, and with the support of Jia Cong's caravan, the tribe will only get stronger and stronger.

"Since your side is stable, then I should also go back, there may be a big war on the grassland in the future, you have to prepare early, you really have to go to the battlefield, and the main thing is to preserve your strength."

Xu Hua asked suspiciously: "Third Master, do you mean He Da Chu, or He Barbarian?" ”

"Naturally, it is a barbarian, the old slave has unified the barbarians, and now the soldiers are flourishing, which is very suitable for expansion, and the city of Shenyang is thick and thick, if you want to break Shenyang, you have to take your life to fill it.

There is no strong city in the grassland, which is better to fight than Shenyang, and there will be countless war horses after the battle, which can allow the barbarians to form cavalry, and the strength will be even stronger.

Da Chu is relatively conservative, and there is a lack of war horses in the army, so he will not choose to take the initiative to attack, but will only take passive defense. ”

Jia Cong did not tell them about the killing of Mang Gultai and the Barbarian Mission, and these people were not all trustworthy.

It's just a reminder from the side.,If you really don't listen.,There's nothing you can do.。

Borchi's tribe is just a game of chess played by himself, a stable trading place, and as for whether he can use it in the future, even he doesn't know.

Xu Hua pondered for a while and said, "What the third master said has some truth, it seems that it is indeed necessary to prepare in advance." ”

Bol Equator: "Third Master, if there is really a big battle, can you let the cavalry led by the king send troops with our tribe?" ”

Jia Cong directly shook his head and refused, "This is impossible, you have to see your position clearly, even if Mongolia wins, the benefits are also your Taiji's, it has nothing to do with you, the soldiers I spent money to raise, it is impossible to fight for your Taiji."

On the contrary, if the Mongols lose, it will be really beneficial to you, and you can take advantage of the situation to gather some defeated troops and some remnant tribes to make yourself stronger, which is the real benefit. ”

Borchi nodded, not saying more.

Wang Shun said: "Third master, what is our team going to do next?" ”

Jia Cong said: "Although these people are good, they can't do the order to prohibit them, you lead the team back to the camp and train for three months first, Zhang Hu knows what to do." ”

Wang Shun arched his hand and said: "Yes, third master, my subordinates must train well after they go back, and strive to make them elite soldiers as soon as possible." ”

The next day, Jia Cong left with his personal guards, accompanied by Wang Shun and Zhang Hu's cavalry team.

After resting in Wang Shun's camp for a day, he returned to Black Mountain Village the next day.

This time I went to Mongolia for more than a month, but the harvest was extremely huge, the formation of a cavalry team of 2,000 people, got the effect of Borchi, had a fixed trade route, and accidentally killed Mang Gurtai.

However, the consumption is also very large, more than 2,000 cavalry, each person has a monthly salary of two taels of silver, which is nearly 5,000 taels a month, plus people eat horses and chew, they also get 5,000 taels, this month will get 10,000 taels, and a year will get 120,000 taels of silver.

And that's not counting weapons and armor, not many of these people have leather armor, most of them don't have armor, and the weapons are also used in the past.

This is really a money-burning business, but with this trade route, one trip is enough to support them.

These people Jia Cong didn't think about what to use them for.

It can't be brought into the army, let alone let people know, so it can only be used as a temporary backhand.

At that time, you can do something that is inconvenient for you to come forward.

After three months of training, give them a hundred sets of iron armor, and arm the hundred people who lead the charge, which can increase the victory rate and reduce casualties, and the others will wear leather armor.

There is no shortage of cowhides in the tribe, and this time a batch was also purchased, and it was enough to find someone to make leather armor.

After more than a month of training, the recruits trained by Zhang Dakui have also taken on some appearance, and after three months of training, he will take them out to see the blood.

After Jia Cong returned to Black Mountain Village, he decided to rest for a while.

Sent Tiezhu with twenty special combat members to the barbarians to inquire about the news, and sent another team to Quang Ninh, first, to understand the situation over there, and second, to clean up the house over there.

The summer harvest is about to begin, and when the grain is in storage, I am ready to go to Quang Ninh.

Meet with He Shiyuan first to learn about the situation in the army.

······

Hetuala, the old slave angrily threw the cup in his hand to the ground.

The news that his son Mang Gurtai and his mission had been ambushed and killed finally came back.

"Who is it? Who killed Mang Gurtai and destroyed our mission, go and find out to me, you must find out, I will make him pay the price of blood. ”

The angry roar of the old slave echoed in the main hall, and all the civil and military officials lowered their heads and trembled.

The old slave hadn't been angry for a long time, and the pain of losing his son this time made him unable to control his emotions anymore.

Since the uprising, the old slave has been smooth sailing, successively exterminating the major forces of the barbarians, completely annexing them, unifying the barbarians, and establishing the Houjin regime.

He has a close relationship with the Horqin Department and is an ally of each other, and when he was about to show his skills, his son was killed, how could he not be angry?

It's really a white-haired person sending a black-haired person.

Dai Shan arched his hand and said: "Father Khan, Mang Gurtai and the envoy were killed in Mongolia, and they must have nothing to do with the people of the Khalkha Department, they have often come to our side to fight grass valleys over the years, it is time to teach them a lesson."

I think we can take this opportunity to send troops to Khalkha, defeat them in one fell swoop, and annex them, so that from then on we will no longer be short of war horses, and we can form a large number of cavalry and attack the Central Plains in one fell swoop. ”

Dai Shan is the second son of the old slave, as the eldest Baylor of the four major Baylors, he is in charge of the two red flags, and he is the right-hand man of the old slave.

The old slave slowly calmed down the anger in his heart and thought carefully.

This time the mission was sent to Khalkha, not really to form an alliance with them, but to paralyze them.

To this end, he also sent his own son, Mang Gultai, to gain their trust, hoping to gain their trust and make his plan successful.

His real intention was not to unite with Khalkha to deal with Da Chu.

Rather, they wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Khalkha were defenseless, to raid the Khalkhas, defeat them in one fell swoop, and annex them.

After all, in a war on the steppe, the power of cavalry is very great, and the Mongols are almost a national cavalry, and if they want to reduce casualties and achieve victory, they can only use stratagems and unscrupulous means.

But he didn't tell anyone else about it, lest the news be revealed, and even his own sons wouldn't know about it.

It's just that what I never expected was that the mission I sent was wiped out, and even his son Mang Gurtai was not spared, which made the old slave's plan completely ruined.

Ay! It's really better to be a human being.

If this matter is settled like this, his subordinates will definitely be dissatisfied, and his prestige will be hit, and it seems that he will not be able to fight this battle with Khalkha.

At this time, Amin also stepped forward and said: "Great Khan, the Khalkha Ministry is good at killing our mission, and even Mang Gurtai does not let us go, and he does not take us in his eyes at all, let alone the Han in his eyes.

If we are not punished severely, how will the world view us? Where is the majesty of the Great Khan? The last general was willing to lead the army to conscript the Khalkhas, and he breathed this evil breath for the Great Khan. ”

Amin is the nephew of the old slave, the second of the four beylers, and is the owner of the blue flag.

Hong Tai also spoke: "Father Khan, sons and ministers are also willing to conquer Khalkha for Father Khan, bring their steppe into the hands of Father Khan, and help Father Khan achieve hegemony." ”

Hong Tai is the eighth son of the old slave, that is, Huang Taiji, also known as Huang Taiji, is the fourth of the four Baylors, and is in charge of the white flag.

The old slave saw that his sons and nephews were all asking for war, and his mood suddenly improved a lot.

After glancing at the civil and military officials under the account, he said: "Since ancient times, the two countries have not fought each other, and our mission went to Khalkha with the purpose of peace and to go to the alliance, but it was ambushed on their territory.

Killing our mission is a provocation to us, and the Khalkha has an unshirkable responsibility for this matter, and must be severely punished, so I decided to personally conquer the Khalkha and make the Khalkha steppes our pastures.

Dai Shan, Amin listened to the order, and ordered the two of you to lead the red flag, the red flag, and the blue flag, and set out to Khalkha as a vanguard. The other divisions followed me as the Chinese army, and this time I will completely conquer the Khalkha steppes. ”

With the old slave's order, the entire city of Hetuara moved in preparation for the army's expedition.

It is not as simple as a surprise attack by a small group of troops, it is necessary to mobilize troops and horses from all over the place, and there must be sufficient food and grass logistics supply to ensure the needs of the army.

Half a month later, the old slave led the barbarian eight banners of soldiers and horses, and all barbarian tribes, a total of 50,000 troops, to attack Khalkha.

At the sound of an order, the army slaughtered towards the Khalkha steppe.
