"Whew...... Call...... Whew......"

"They're in front, don't let them run!"

"Kill them all if you catch them!"

In the jungle, people shuttle through the ......

When dozens of soldiers dressed in Donghu costumes and speaking Donghu language were chasing and intercepting in the jungle, the target of all of them was only a dozen people.

"Peng—"

In the hurried pursuit, a slender Han man tripped over the long tree roots, and in front of him, a Han man with mantis legs and a horse's waist immediately turned back and helped her up.

"How? Can you still run? ”

In the damp and cold forest, Shen Lian frowned and looked at the person in front of him, and this person looked up with a dirty face, and his eyes were full of stubbornness.

Before he could speak, a brocade guard with a thin brocade guard rushed out, and when he saw the brocade guard kneeling on the ground, this man couldn't help but say:

"So Jin Yiwei doesn't need women except when he spies on the news, and he ...... trouble."

Although he said this, he still turned around honestly and put his hand on the long Qi family knife.

"Wang Xiaoqi, you take the map and go with them first."

Shen Lian patted the shoulder of the female Jinyi Wei in front of him, Jinyi Wei of their gender is mainly a special Jinyi Wei who is responsible for going to the Donghu General's Mansion to investigate intelligence, and his combat power is not strong, and Shen Lian does not want to leave the other party.

Therefore, after explaining a sentence, he then grabbed the knife and walked to Lu Xiu, who was hanging.

The female brocade guard also grabbed the map and got up and ran, while Lu Xiu listened to the voice of the pursuers behind him, and wrote lightly:

"Three against forty-two people, it's not without a chance of winning."

"Ahem......" Lu Xian next to him coughed, and Shen Lian also wiped the water marks on Yanling's knife.

"Donghu is cold and damp, I'm afraid I won't come for the second time in my life."

Lu Xian coughed, and in the next second, a Donghu soldier who was not wearing cloth arched out of the jungle......

"Poof—"

With the knife in his hand, Lu Xiu killed the other party with a knife, and took the initiative to rush into the jungle.

Shen Lian Lu Xian followed, and the remaining nine Jinyi guards who had been explained by them took the Donghu map and returned to Daming towards the Nanya Pass, which was closest to them.

In three days, the nine people traveled through more than 100 miles of primeval forest, and finally returned to Daming with the map of Donghu.

This map was accompanied by an expedited 800-mile rush from Nanya Pass to Baima Pass, which was more than 5,000 miles away.

"Good!"

On the first day of the first month of March, in the midst of the clamour, Zhu Youzhen got the maps of Donghu, Mengyang, and Mubang.

From the mountains and rivers to the Chengchi Pass, the map depicts the entire territory of Mubang and Mengyang in detail, and as soon as this map is in hand, it means that it is not difficult to lay the Donghu Gate.

"Put this picture away, I didn't expect to get such a big gift before the expedition, and the three of them can be remembered!"

Closing the map, Zhu Youzhen handed him to Lu Wenzhao beside him, and turned to look behind him.

At this moment, he was wearing an imperial mountain armor, with a long knife and a riding gun pinned to his waist, and he was heroic.

He stood on a low slope a few miles outside the city of Baima Pass, and at the bottom of the slope, nearly 30,000 cavalry, more than 20,000 foot soldiers, and more than 300,000 people occupied the long and narrow plain outside Baima Pass and Guan.

"Sun Shoufa led the Long Xiang Guard as the Chinese army, Man Gui led the Xiao Cavalry, Tiance, and Yulin Sanwei as the rear army to protect the people, Cao Meng and Saihan commanded the four guards Teng Xiang as the vanguard and went north first, and the four guards cavalry took the small flag as a unit and released fifty miles."

Zhu Youzhen arranged the vanguard, rear army, and middle army in an orderly manner, and the three generals who received the military order also responded.

After receiving the order, Man Gui put the long knife on his waist and smiled at Zhu Youzhen:

"Your Highness, that Tiger Rabbit Dun should have known that we were going on a northern expedition, but according to the reports of the other departments of Karaqin, he has not yet withdrawn, but he is a little bold."

"It's not guts, it's ignorance......" Zhu Youzhen sneered lightly, he never took Lin Dan Khan in his eyes.

To put it bluntly, whenever there is an existence like Alta and Dayan on the Mongolian Plateau, Nurhachi and Huangtaiji in history will be beaten, and even the Yuan court may be resurrected.

It can be seen from the entry of the Qing army into the customs that the combat power of the Eight Banners has gradually declined in the tug-of-war with the Ming Dynasty, and the number of dead and wounded has allowed them to pull out 100,000 men from the 46th year of Wanli to only 60,000 when they enter the customs.

If it weren't for Li Zicheng's attack on Beizhili, perhaps the infighting between Hauge and Dolgon would have lasted for more than ten years.

In this case, once the Mongolian tribes with more than 200,000 men were unified, the Ming and Qing dynasties would face tremendous pressure.

Lin Dan Khan, a politically reckless man, spent more than 20 years to make Mo Nan and Mo Bei submit to him in the name, which is completely inferior to Meda, and even worse than Dayan Khan.

To deal with this kind of political recklessness, it is enough to knock out his sharpness and then divide the interior.

"Send someone to contact Taiji from all parts of Karaqin and tell them not to act rashly, our goal this time is only to drive away the Tiger Rabbit Dun and Bo Dun gangsters, and the real fight is Horqin."

"Let them stay honest, wait for the defeat of Hutudun, and escape far away with Hutudun, and when I sweep the north again in a few years, they will have a good treatment."

Zhu Youzhen held the handle of the knife with one hand, watching the army and the people under the slope continue to move, and a sense of pride was born in his heart.

"The Horqin tribes also promised that as long as I exterminated Oba, they would still be able to graze in Horqin, and the Ming Dynasty would build a city and garrison troops in Horqin to protect them."

"Yes!"

The conversation between the two was extremely relaxed, and they didn't seem to take the Mongolia of the southern desert tribes in their eyes.

It's right to think about it, the three major tribes of Hetao have been defeated by them, and only these tribes in the eastern part of Monan are left, and it is strange that they can confront the Ming army.

"Let's go!"

After that, Zhu Youzhen turned around, and Saihan stretched out his hand to help him hold the war horse.

The generals got on their horses together, and the army in the camp began to leave the camp in an orderly manner, and the flags of each team formed a long red dragon, which continued to extend.

Even the 300,000 people were dressed in mandarin duck battle jackets, holding simple spears in their hands, and carefully escorted mule and horse grain carts under the escort of the three guard cavalry.

The Ming army moved, and compared with the liveliness of the Yanshan Mountains, more than 900 miles away, under the southern foot of the Harawen Mountain, on the grassland where the spring snow melted and the grass grew, tens of thousands of Mongolians were still grazing on their own.

The adult males among them set up simple tents on the periphery of the herds, each with twelve guards, which was equivalent to a fixed stronghold.

The people in the tent are sentinels, who are released more than 20 miles to explore the surrounding area, providing a safe environment for the Mongols stationed in the grazing area, and can issue warnings in time.

There was one of these tents for twenty li each, and they spread three hundred li south until they approached the pass of the Yanshan Mountains before reaching their periphery.

"I don't know why the Great Khan is fighting with the Ming Dynasty, now we don't even have black coal, so we can only go to the mountains and fields to find trees."

"Those female straight people are liars, and I heard that many Taiji are dissatisfied with the behavior of the Great Khan."

On the green grass at the mouth of the Yanshan Mountain Range, the two sentry horses in charge of guarding were strolling around, and they kept complaining about Lin Dan Khan's behavior in starting a war.

They were Chahar's cavalry, and they shouldn't have questioned their Great Khan, but the severance of trade caused by the war with the Ming Dynasty made life inconvenient for all of them.

After getting used to the simple and cheap honeycomb coal, many people would rather exchange a dozen sheep for a year's supply of honeycomb coal than go to the mountains and fields to find trees.

Unlike Monan, which later generations believed that there were trees all over the mountains, there were many trees in places like Harawen Mountain, but there was very little vegetation in the Yanshan Mountains.

From the end of the Song Dynasty to the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the world was always in a low temperature period, and this low temperature period led to the eastward shift of the precipitation belt.

In the vast desert south and north grasslands, trying to find a forest that can be used as firewood can be said to be tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

Livestock manure can also be burned, but when the white plague hits in winter, all cattle and sheep have to cut back on food, and the amount of manure produced is not only small, but also the time it takes to wait for it to be used as fuel.

After a white plague, it is not surprising that hundreds of cattle and sheep were killed and injured in the pastures of some small lords.

But since Zhu Youzhen made the honeycomb coal, the small lords of the various departments could completely exchange cattle and sheep for a large amount of honeycomb coal to burn in the tent.

Some cow and horse dung was collected into a special tent, and then a dozen honeycomb coals were placed in the tent, so that for three consecutive days, the cow and horse dung was dry and could be burned directly.

Not only that, but some wealthy small lords simply gave their cattle and sheep a grazing area, and then lit the cattle and horse manure in the pasture to protect the livestock from the cold.

As a result, the number of cattle that died under the White Plague was greatly reduced, and although the various ministries traded with cattle and sheep, on the whole, they still made money.

Therefore, the result of the severance of mutual markets and trade is the complete severance of cheap honeycomb coal, and last year's white disaster increased the dissatisfaction of the various ministries with Lin Dan Khan, Bo Huang and others.

If the dead cattle and sheep were traded for honeycomb coal and salt tea, all the nobles would be able to live comfortably for the winter.

As a result, not only the cattle and sheep died, but the winter was also a difficult one.

This made them all nostalgic for the period of peace between Ming and Mongolia, and they even scolded Lin Dan Khan's stupid behavior in private.

It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift......

Many Mongols at this moment began to resent the rule of Lin Dan Khan.

It was also under such dissatisfaction that many of the Beizhen Fusi Jinyiwei hidden in the various departments obtained a lot of information through the lords of all parties.

In total, the strength of Bo Huang and Lin Dan Khan was around 63,000.

But if the disgruntled nobles all withdrew from the Haravan Mountains, the forces of Lin Dan Khan and Bo Huang would only be 36,700.

Looking at it this way, the situation is obvious, except for Bo Xuan and Lin Dan Khan, everyone does not want to fight this battle.

They don't care if Lin Dan Khan can unify the south and the north, they care about the immediate interests.

Regardless of whether the state or the tribe, the feudal system or the modern system, the upper class people are using the collective public instrument to seek benefits for themselves, this is human nature.

Similarly, as the Great Khan, Lin Dan Khan, it is impossible for him not to know the criticism of the people below, but he only feels that this group of people is short-sighted.

He was a descendant of Genghis Khan, and his short-sighted subordinates could not understand him.

This is Lin Dan Khan's arrogance, and this arrogance is not only hidden in his heart, but also expressed by his behavior.

"Hutuketu Khan has an order, and all the tribes' Taiji and Beile will go to the Golden Horde to discuss matters!"

The sentinel was giving orders, and although the Taijibel of each department was reluctant, they all honestly went to the big tent in the center of the pasture.

The constant influx of Beltaiji filled the big tent, while Lin Dan Khan, who was sitting on the main seat, was satisfied.

Finally, when all Taiji arrived, Lin Danhan spoke:

"We found that the Ming army was heading north in some sentry horses in Yanshan, and this time it was Zhu Youzhen's doll who led the troops to the expedition, and there should be fifty or sixty thousand soldiers on the scale."

"Fifty or sixty thousand?"

"So much?"

"Then there must be four or five hundred thousand people, right?"

"While it's still far away, you can migrate."

"Quiet!" Looking at the chaotic Zhubu Taiji, Lin Danhan was very unhappy and scolded them:

"Although the number of the Ming army is large, there are only twenty or thirty thousand cavalry, and there are still seven or eight hundred miles away from us, what are you panicking about?"

Lin Dan Khan is very majestic, he didn't take Zhu Youzhen in his eyes, and even in his mouth, Zhu Youzhen seems to be just a milky doll.

However, his majesty only represented him, and after he finished scolding, Bo Xuan said a little restlessly:

"Great Khan, the Ming cavalry's running distance and speed are very long and fast, Zhu Youzhen only spent six or seven days in Hetao to run thousands of miles, we should move now."

"That's right, it's still too late to migrate, and when Zasaktu Khan and them go south, it's not too late for us to fight the grass valley."

"Now that spring has not been long ago, the cattle and horses have not yet been fattened, and some horses are so thin that they can't even carry their children, how can this be a war?"

"Great Khan, we can think about moving north temporarily, and the supplies of the Ming army can't keep up."

Bo's words immediately made many Karaqin lords follow suit, after all, they are the inner ghosts hidden among the Mongols, and no one wants to conflict with Zhu Youzhen.

If they knew that this guy had secretly formed an alliance with the Jurchens, they would definitely abandon Bo Huang as soon as possible and take refuge in Da Ming with the news, instead of letting Bo Huang burn down the Baima Guanhu Market.

Now I haven't caught a single fart, and I have to be chased and beaten by Zhu Youzhen and his soldiers......

Thinking of this, some of the Karaqin Beltaiji looked at Bo Di with resentful eyes.

As for Bo Xuan, he didn't think there was anything wrong with his approach, after all, after the barbarians were destroyed and the three major parts of the Hetao were also destroyed, he who was stuck in the middle would definitely be swallowed up by the Ming Dynasty.

Only by annexing and obtaining the buffer zone in the north of Yanshan can the city of Beijing be safe, and the cavalry of the Ming army can build the city outside the pass.

So he never regretted it, what he regretted was that he didn't do it so neatly at that time.

If he had broken through the White Horse Pass at that time and led his troops to rush to the vicinity of the capital to plunder, maybe the Ming Dynasty could only increase his annual reward, and would not be as embarrassed as he is now.

Who would have thought that Zhu Youzhen would be able to leave the elite of Sanwei in the Yanshan military camp to garrison Baima Pass in the case of sweeping the set......

It's just that it's useless to regret it now, what Bo Huang wants now is to run first, and when Zhu Youzhen goes to fight the Jurchen, he will go to fight Caogu.

He was really scared of Zhu Youzhen to death, if he hadn't been fooled by Fan Wenhuan for a while, worried that Zhu Youzhen would clean him up after beating the Hetao, he would not have rebelled.

To put it bluntly, it was because he had done too many bad things to Daming before, even if Zhu Youzhen gave him the conditions of a marquis, he didn't dare to go to Daming to be an official.

In terms of the frequency of entering the Kou, he is more than Huo Luochi and Su Nan combined......

"Moving north? What to move? ”

I never thought that when everyone was thinking about moving north, Lin Dan Khan suddenly sneered:

"He, Zhu Youzhen, can come to Monan casually, doesn't that mean that the Great Mongolia has become a pasture that he can enter and exit? So what are we? His herdsmen? ”

"The form is stronger than the people, and it is better for him to spend money and food for a while, and then go south to the Hetao to fight the grass valley in the autumn when the people are strong and the horses are strong, he Zhu Youzhen can't have our horses fast, right?" Bo Xuan listened to Lin Dan Khan's words and patiently persuaded him.

In his opinion, going head-to-head with the Ming army was like being kicked in the head by a horse.

He didn't take Baima Pass with more than 20,000 people at the beginning, but now the Ming army is dispatched, and they only have 50,000 or 60,000 people, how can they fight?

"If he comes to Haravan Mountain, I will go to Xuanfu!"

Lin Dan Khan stubbornly wanted to go south, but when he saw this, he immediately became angry:

"If you want to go, you can go, I will take people to the northern foothills!"

After that, he turned his head to look at the Beltaiji of the Karaqin tribes, and when they saw this, they also echoed:

"It's better to hide first."

"Avoid the edge of the Ming army, and wait for the autumn to go south to fight the grass valley."

"The troops are equal, and even if they win, they will suffer heavy casualties."

The people who support the northward migration still account for the majority, and this scene made Lin Dan Khan instantly dissatisfied:

"Uncle! Since you have recognized me as the Great Khan, now you must obey my Khan's commands. ”

"I'm willing to obey, but only if it's not a stupid Khan order!" Bo fainted and rebelled against Lin Dan Khan.

He also has his own pride, when he and his father invaded the Ming army, Lin Dan Khan was just a doll.

How many times has he fought with the Ming army? Now that he has put down his body, he has been persuaded for a long time, and he is still so stubborn.

Then there is no way, he will not do the death thing anyway.

"You ......" Lin Dan Khan subconsciously put his hand on the hilt of the knife on his waist, but the Taiji of the Karaqin tribes also noticed this and put their hands on their waists.

This scene was seen by Lin Dan Khan, no matter how arrogant he was, he knew that there were more Karaqin Taiji and Baylor in the tent, and there was no way to guarantee his own safety if he really fought.

Therefore, he could only suppress his anger and say:

"You can take your men with you, but you have to leave five thousand cavalry behind."

"Yes!" Hearing that he wanted to keep 5,000 cavalry, although he was unwilling, he didn't want to tear his face with Lin Dan Khan, and besides, the 5,000 cavalry was not his family.

"Subudi, Xuan Xuan each sent a hundred cavalry, we sent a thousand five, enough five thousand cavalry to give Hutu Ketu Khan!"

"Yes!" Hearing his own Abu's words, Subu also took the initiative to stand up, and Lin Dan Khan calmed down his uncomfortable emotions a little when he saw this, and raised his hand to signal Bo to leave.

Seeing this, Bo Xuan immediately left the Golden Tent with the people of the Karaqin Tribes, and after they left, Lin Dan Khan looked at the only remaining Chahar tribes Taiji and Beile in the tent, and said with a gloomy face:

"You gather troops and horses, and your family rolls follow Karaqin to move north."

"Yes......" Hearing Lin Dan Khan's words, the Zhubu Beltaiji breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they were a little afraid of fighting the Ming army, they were most afraid of the safety of their families.

If you can move the troops north first, then you can flee north even if the fight doesn't go well, and there will be no situation where you can't take the people with you.

It's just that they breathed a sigh of relief, but it attracted Lin Dan Khan's dissatisfaction.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Bo Huang wanted to take people away, he would not be willing to let the tribes move north.

After all, in his opinion, Su Nang and Huo Luochi were defeated by Zhu Youzhen because they were wasted.

Karaqin and Tuman are also on the same level, and the Tuban have been wiped out by him and Huang Taiji, and there is no difference between Karaqin and waste.

Since the Ming army has not conquered Karaqin and the barbarians, it must be because of the lack of strength.

Then his own headquarters, which can easily defeat the barbarians, even if he can't defeat the Ming army, will not end up in a fiasco.

So what he wanted was to command the forces of the two major divisions of Chahar and Karaqin, first frustrate the sharp spirit of the Ming army, and then go north with a part of the spoils after the setback, and then take the opportunity to subdue the Trans-Khalkha in Mobei.

As long as Transkhalkha is subdued, then he will have 100,000 string control men under him.

When the time comes, when the Ming army goes to fight the Jurchens, he will go to subdue Horqin, and then march west to conquer Moxi Weirat.

As long as he conquered these large parts, he would be the veritable lord of the 400,000 Mongols, with tens of thousands of subordinates, and he could easily invade the Hetao and harass Hexi.

At that time, as long as you gather troops to win a battle, you can take the opportunity to propose mutual markets and annual rewards to the Ming Dynasty.

In this way, he is the second lord of the Great Mongolian Kingdom since Dayan Khan.

It's just that the idea is very good, but it is difficult to implement, and Bo Xuan took the lead in opposing his behavior, which made Lin Danhan very angry.

If it weren't for the imminent arrival of Zhu Youzhen's soldiers, he would definitely not mind teaching Zhu Youzhen a lesson before cleaning up.

However, since things have developed to this point, he can't retract his words about sending troops.

Sending troops was necessary, but he also had to be prepared for the second hand, so he arranged for his troops to move north.

To be honest, he is also ready to run if he can't beat it.

Although it was a bit embarrassing, as long as he could get some loot, he could go back and brag about his "results" against the Ming army.

Anyway, if the Ming army can't catch up with him, he will have to withdraw, and no one will expose what he says at that time.

With this result, he was able to stabilize Trans-Khalkha and Karaqin, and took the opportunity to win over Korqin.

Thinking of this, Lin Dan Khan thought about how to fight this battle.

But no matter how they fought, first of all, they couldn't be dragged down by the Ming army, otherwise they would have to face the scene of being pursued by the Ming army.

In addition, he must not kill or wound too many of his troops, otherwise even if he gets a lot of spoils from the Ming army, it will also hit his prestige within Chahar.

Therefore, after many associations, he finally ordered:

"Gather the army, let's go south first to teach Zhu Youzhen's vanguard army a lesson."
