Chapter 134: Beat Your Little Brother
Apocalypse's several big moves last year, although only the elimination of the eight Jin merchants had a direct impact on Jianyu, but combined with all the things, Huang Taiji had a new view of Apocalypse, and he didn't dare to underestimate it anymore.
Therefore, this time the Ming army took the initiative to attack the left flank of Mongolia in the opposite direction, and even Lin Dan Khan was willing to cooperate, which made him more cautious.
If it weren't for the fact that he had led his troops out a few months earlier, and had a bigger plan to prepare, he might have come to the crusade himself again.
However, he still believed in Zilharang's ability and believed in the bravery of Zhubeile, but he still reminded Zilharang not to move blindly, and to strengthen intelligence reconnaissance before making a decision.
Zilharang did the same, because he also deeply felt the unusualness of the Ming army this time.
He followed Huang Taiji to deal with Man Gui not once or twice, and knew that Man Gui was a rare member of the Ming army, and he was very brave.
And such people are often very belligerent, and if they have the opportunity, they really dare to fight.
But this time it was strange, he successively sent Haoge, Yue Tuo and several other Baylors to lure him several times, and gave him a good opportunity to send more than 1,000 people to his mouth, and he was not fooled.
Even if he goes to war, he will take advantage of a small advantage and withdraw, and he is not greedy for merit at all, is this still the Man Gui he knew before? Or is the one on the other side a fake mangui?
……
"Lord Commander, if you fight for a while, even if it's just for a moment, you can at least take dozens of more heads." Adjutant General You Shiwei said with some pity.
Man Gui stroked his beard and said indifferently: "Now the initiative is mine, and if Jianlu wants to avenge Karaqin, he has to coax us and keep serving us food." ”
"So, there is such an opportunity, we are not greedy, we only eat one bite of each dish, even if it is poisonous, it can't poison us, hahaha......"
You Shiwei looked at the Lord Zongzhen, who had been with him for many years, as if he had met him for the first time.
In fact, how did he know that before setting out on the expedition, Tianqi specially summoned Man Gui and Heiyunlong to the Qianqing Palace, but they explained it many times.
In this operation, I don't care at all how many heads you take, it doesn't matter if you don't have any of them.
If you let the Ming elite suffer unnecessary losses because of your greed for merit, I will be very angry.
As long as you keep dragging them and teasing them.
I like to see them angry and helpless at us, which makes me happier than 10,000 captives.
Of course, this is a joke, the ultimate goal of the apocalypse is to exhaust the army of the captives, and at the same time to disturb the situation of the Mongolian left flank, taking into account the consumption of the resources of the captives.
Because as soon as the soldiers and horses move, they need a lot of money and food, and the longer the time drags on, the greater the consumption of the prisoners.
Now that the Ming treasury is full, there is enough confidence to slowly consume with them, and for Jianyu, if a large amount of loot is looted in every battle, it is a loss.
Apocalypse said everything so clearly, and there was a black cloud dragon overseer next to him, no matter how greedy Man Gui was, he would not dare to disobey Apocalypse's will.
Therefore, it made You Shiwei, Zierharang and others feel that Man Gui seems to have changed, not that he has changed, but that the desire in his heart has been suppressed by the emperor.
After spending a few days like this, seeing that the oil and salt of Mangui did not enter, even a person with a calm temperament like Zilharang couldn't help but burst into foul language a few times.
However, this is only one of the reasons, mainly because the intelligence of the spies in the past few days has not brought any good news.
The situation on the Derge side was similar to that of himself, and Zu Dashou also adopted the same strategy, which was obviously discussed.
According to the spies, it seems that a large number of Ming troops were indeed deployed at many Great Wall passes, and the city was brightly lit all night.
Even if the three are closer in the middle of the night to investigate, once they are discovered, they will quickly sound in unison, and after a while, the city walls will be full of people.
For this kind of information, Zilharang doesn't believe it very much, how many forts and guards are there on the line of the Great Wall in Beizhili alone? If there are a large number of Ming troops in each, it will not be enough for the Apocalypse to transfer all the troops of the entire Ming Kingdom.
So there must be fraud in this, but it's really hard to judge where it's false and where it's real.
Moreover, the troops under his command were all cavalry, and they did not carry any siege equipment, so it was not easy to test it.
"Pull out the camp and conquer Har." Zilharang didn't want to play hide and seek with Man Gui on the edge of the Great Wall anymore, so he immediately changed his strategy and prepared to pretend to attack the Chahar Department and lure Man Gui to his rescue.
After Jierharang led his troops to open a distance of fifty miles away, Man Gui immediately led his troops to follow without hurry, and also marched along the line of the Great Wall.
Man Gui and Heiyun Long looked relaxed, but Gui Yingcha was a little worried, because Jian Yu went in the direction of the Chahar Department, and it only took six or seven days to arrive.
In fact, he knew that Lin Dan Khan had been prepared for a long time, and he also knew the situation here.
Because the transmission of information between the two sides has never been interrupted, and there is no need to bypass the Jianyu army, with the help of the Jinyi Guard, they can safely transmit to each other from within the Great Wall.
The old and weak women and children of the Chahar tribe had already moved west for 500 miles as early as a month earlier, and Lin Dan Khan led an army of 15,000 to stay in the camp to see the opportunity.
And the reason why Lin Dan Khan was willing to do this was because the apocalypse directly gave him a benefit fee of 500,000 taels.
As soon as he thought about it, he just moved for the time being, and when Jianyu was evacuated, he could move back again, for the Mongols, moving was a normal thing, and it was also very convenient.
It was easy to earn 500,000 taels of silver in this way, and he didn't do it for nothing, so he happily agreed.
And when the people had received the money, they were also glad, and they were all rejoicing.
Of course, the premise of this is that Daming can guarantee the safety of the Chahar Ministry, and if it causes unnecessary losses to the Chahar Ministry, Daming will compensate.
The apocalypse is naturally measured, and it is impossible to pit the Chahar Department at this time, the gains outweigh the losses, not to mention that it is not so easy to pit others.
No, Zilharang had just walked for less than a day before he stopped, not because Man Gui had been fooled, but because there was bad news from the east: the Tumut Department was fiercely attacked by the Ming army.
Originally a whole, Tumut is now divided into Eastern Tumut and Western Tumut, because after Lin Dan Khan moved west to the right wing of Mongolia, some Tumut people chose to submit to Lin Dan Khan, and the other part did not want to submit to the homeland of the Chahar Department and took refuge in Jian.
Now Zhao led the army out of Xifengkou to attack north, and it was Dongtu Mote who attacked it in the north.
Although the strength of Dongtu Mut is not strong, they are the same as the Karaqin Department, they are the key targets of the construction and capture, and now that they are under attack, Zilharang naturally cannot help but save them.
If he led the army to rescue, Dongtu Mot followed in the footsteps of Karaqin, and the face of the Great Khan would be dull.
And this is also the strategy of the Apocalypse, if I am not sure to win you in the field, I will beat your little brother, and if you want to attack the Chahar Department, I will beat your little brother.
If you want to do anything, I will beat your little brother, and I will beat your little brother at every opportunity.
