Chapter 127: You come and go

Guan Tong knew that in such an open place on the plains, if the enemy cavalry had no intention of fighting to the death, even if he found their location, it would be difficult to get them, so he had no choice but to send dozens of scouts to patrol the eight directions, and he led 50,000 elite cavalry to return to the riverside camp.

Nahachu heard the report of Guan Tong, and knew that Fu Youde on the other side of the river, and the two Ming armies of Lanyu nearby, intended to entangle their hundreds of thousands of troops, and would never fight to the death, using the guerrilla tactics of the Mongolian cavalry, and he was helpless in his heart, so he had to order the army under his command to prepare and prepare to leave the Songhua River.

Hai Sanan, the leader of Fuyuwei, replied, seeing that the other party was only tens of thousands of horses, he was going to force his own hundreds of thousands of horses to avoid it, recalling the hasty evacuation of the Ming cavalry under the city of Gyeongju, he felt aggrieved in his heart, and muttered: "Dashuai, we have strong troops, and we may not need to avoid them." ”

Nahachu pointed to the white ice on the river, and thousands of Ming troops shouted and scolded angrily, and said in a deep voice: "Yesterday's scout reported that although Feng Sheng's army is still in the territory of Wuliangha, it may not be on the way at this moment, if we still stay here and camp, and after nightfall, hundreds of thousands of Ming troops will come ashore along the river, how can we deal with it?" ”

Hearing his explanation, everyone's hearts sank, the Northern Yuan cavalry naturally had an overwhelming advantage in the battle against the Ming army's infantry on the plain in broad daylight, but if it was given to the enemy's army at night, taking advantage of the place where the cavalry on the river could not be used, it would be dangerous to sneak attack the military camp. Although the leader of the three guards gritted his teeth with hatred for Jiang Xinchangsheng's group of Ming troops, he also knew that what the commander Nahachu said was very reasonable, so he had to let the cavalry of the three clans pack up and prepare to leave.

Fu Youde saw that Nahachu was about to lead the army to leave on the other side, and called back Chang Sheng, who was still slandering and scolding in the heart of the river, and smiled at him: "Let all the brothers come back and rest for a while, if Nahachu still wants to go down the river, we will follow him across the river." After looking at the sky, it was estimated that there would be no snow tonight, so he turned his head and said in a deep voice to a scout captain: "You take a few subordinates to cross the river in a circle to find Lan Yu, and pass on my military order, as long as Nahachu leaves the river, lead the army back to the river, don't chase after it, so as not to be ambushed."

An hour later, the Northern Yuan army left the riverside and headed north. At this time, on the plain to the northwest, Lan Yu Changmao led 20,000 cavalry and stopped from afar to watch the departure of Nahachu's army. Lan Yu had already received the military order sent by Fu Youde's sergeant. Seeing that Nahachu's army left the riverside, he did not lead the army to chase after him, and led the knights of the Ming army under his command to rush back to the riverside.

Chang Mao was very angry today, and muttered in a low voice: "Why don't we simply follow the Nahachu army and wait for the night to sneak attack them?" ”

Lan Yu frowned, and reprimanded: "What the deputy marshal said is very reasonable, although Nahachu suffered some small losses today, after all, the army still has an absolute advantage, and you don't think of him as a fool." ”

Seeing that his uncle said the same, Chang Mao stuck out his tongue, didn't dare to be verbose, and led his cavalry to follow Lan Yu.

Fu Youde saw that the blue jade army had returned to the riverside, and immediately passed down the military order, and the two armies echoed each other across the wide river, marching together and searching north.

Fu Youde and Lan Yu's Ming army marched dozens of miles, and no trace of the Liaodong Yuan army was found, so they turned around and headed south, and did not return to Feng Sheng's army camp until nightfall.

In the camp of the Liaodong Yuan army, the leader of the three guards was sitting around the fire. Hai Sanan, the leader of Fuyuwei, replied that Xi picked up the bowl and took a sip of tea, frowned and hurriedly spit it out, and couldn't help but scold: "Damn, these hateful Han people, if they catch us, they won't fight to the death, they just blindly make trouble, so that we can't be quiet." ”

Tabin Timur, Azashri drank the tea with the smell of muddy grass roots, and also frowned again and again. It turned out that Nahachu was afraid of camping by the river for the Ming army to sneak attack, so he stayed away from the river and camped under a sheltered hillside in the Daxing'an Mountains. It was difficult to get water in the barracks, so they had to shovel the snow on the ground into a cauldron and burn it for the soldiers and horses to drink.

Tabin Timur has listened to the herdsmen in his tribe in the past two days, knowing that the Ming army is digging land on his own territory, a plan to take root, his heart is anxious, and he said in a deep voice: "Look at this posture, the Ming army is determined to consume with us, they also have tens of thousands of cavalry, if the spring grass grows, they are also so disturbing everywhere, so that I and other herdsmen of the three ethnic groups can not graze, then it will be troublesome." ”

Although the Ming army only has 50,000 or 60,000 cavalry, it is impossible to fight to the death with the Liaodong Yuan army in the plains, but it is easy to control the territory of Sanwei and not let the herdsmen graze cattle and sheep.

Tabin Timur stood up and said with a calm face: "The Han people can harass them, so can't we harass them?" I'll go talk to the marshal. Then he lifted the curtain and strode away.

After Azashri and Haisan replied that they looked at each other, they also stood up and followed him. Although the three of them have no lack of intrigue on weekdays, at this time, the Ming army dug the land and reclaimed the wasteland, and cooperated with the plan of disturbing and grazing, which was tantamount to roasting the three tribes on the fire, and it was a matter of the survival of their own clan, and they had to go with Tabin Timur.

Nahachu paced back and forth in the tent, listening to the complaints of the leaders of the three guards, and was very helpless in his heart, the Ming army controlled the territory of the three guards, undoubtedly cut off the way of life of the three tribes, although he was the commander-in-chief, he could not forcibly stop the request of Tabin Timur and others to take the initiative to attack, and secretly thought to himself: It seems that there is only a way to disturb each other, try to delay the time, and see if it can be delayed until the Ming army is short of food and grass, and withdraw the army on its own. Thinking of this, he turned to the leader of the three guards and said, "You wait for the three of you to lead the army to attack tomorrow, not to fight to the death, but only to disturb the attack." ”

In the early morning of the second day, Tabin Timur and the other three commanded three guards with a total of 60,000 horses, and went out of the military camp to the west bank of the Songhua River, galloping south along the river, looking for the Ming army camp. Nahachu and Guantong still commanded the main army of the Liaodong Yuan army.

Tabin Timur said to the two accomplices beside him: "If only we could inflict heavy losses on the Ming cavalry and make them unable to control our territory." Azashri, Haisa Nan replied, and nodded when he heard this, deeply agreed.

At dawn, Fu Youde and Lan Yu led the Chang brothers, commanding more than 50,000 cavalry of the Ming Army, and also left the camp of the army, and went north along the river on the east bank to continue to search for the place where the Yuan army of Nahachu was stationed. After a short walk, I heard the scouts in front of me reply, saying that the Yuan army had been found on the other side of the river.

Fu Youde instructed his two knights to hurry back to the camp to report to the commander Feng Sheng. led the army to continue to move forward, and after a short time, he saw tens of thousands of cavalry of Sanwei galloping like a tide across the river.

Fu Youde looked at the number of Yuan troops on the other side of the river, but it was not the Liaodong Yuan army that poured out, so he simply didn't bother to pay attention to it, and Lan Yu led the army to continue to go north along the river to search for the main force of Nahachu.

Feng Sheng heard Fu Youde's subordinate sergeant inform him that the Yuan army was coming from the other side, and after a little silence, he ordered all the people to stay in the barracks, and the artillery in the two barracks closest to Dajiang turned around, and the muzzles were aimed at the ice surface of Jiangxin. He led Zhu Di, King of Yan, Zhu Quan, King of Ning, Li Jinglong, Duke of Cao Guo, and others out of the barracks and walked to the riverside to check the enemy's situation.

Tabin Timur and the other three led the army to the opposite bank of the Ming army camp, looking at the four extremely solid camps built of rough wood on the opposite side, they all had a sense of powerlessness in their hearts, they suffered a big loss yesterday, how could they dare to let the army go on this slippery, difficult to ride and gallop on the ice? Even if they made a detour through the river, in the face of the opponent's fortified defense, the cavalry was useless.

Zhu Quan saw that the Yuan army on the other side hesitated, turned his head to Feng Sheng and said: "At present, the Yuan army of Liaodong is already in an extremely passive situation, and it is estimated that it is the Wuliang Ha Sanwei people who are here. Let's take the opportunity to surrender to them, if we succeed, wait until we cut off Nahachu's arm. ”

Daoyan, a monk beside Zhu Di, King of Yan, whispered to him on the side: "Your Highness must not miss such an opportunity, as long as you surrender the Nahachu Department of the Liaodong Yuan Army, then Your Highness's weight in Your Majesty's heart will increase a lot." Zhu Di bowed slightly when he heard this, and thought it was true.

Feng Sheng also felt that Zhu Quan's words were reasonable, but who should go? As the commander of the three armed forces, he naturally can't take risks.

Zhu Di and Zhu Quan bowed down at the same time to ask for their lives, and went to recruit the three guards of Wuliang Ha. Feng Sheng was very embarrassed in his heart, and said: Listening to what Lan Yu said, His Royal Highness King Ning has a sharp tongue, and he has also dealt with Gui Lichi, Tuhuan and other Mobei Yuan army clan leaders, and he also has martial arts, which is more suitable than His Royal Highness King Yan. Thinking of this, he smiled and said: "Please King Yan and Ben Shuai sit in the army, and His Royal Highness King Ning should not go to the bow and arrow of the Yuan army on the other side, and let Jiang Xin, the leader of the Yuan army, talk." ”

Zhu Di was greatly disappointed when he heard this, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Zhu Quan immediately invited Nai Thorn Wu, Jiang Xian, and Master Qin Zhuofeng to set off, Xu Ying also argued that he had to go, Zhu Quan had no choice but to let her, and said with a wry smile: "Let's not go to fight, what are so many people going to do?"

Xu Ying smiled: "If these Tartars are afraid, just let them bring two more people." Anyway, it is difficult to ride a horse on the river, and even if you fight, you are not afraid of them. ”

Several people put on a pair of non-slip straw sandals on their feet, and when they were about to set off, Zhu Quan called Ma Sanbao to his side and said to him: "If I go to talk to these guys about a stick of incense and there is no result, you can pick two distant points of the mines we planted two days ago and set them on, so as to bluff these guys who are hard and don't eat soft." ”

Ma Sanbao understood when he heard this, turned around and went to the riverside with Jing Jun and Sima Chao to prepare.

Zhu Quan walked on the river, turned his head and saw that Nai's hands and feet were trembling slightly, and he didn't know whether it was cold or fearful, so he couldn't help but smile and comfort: "As long as you surrender this Wuliang Ha Sanwei, after returning to Yingtian, this king will truthfully report to his father and the emperor, and let him give you an official and a knight, and respond to the blessings of heaven." ”

It turned out that the population, economy, and culture of the early Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty were in a state of "the south is heavy and the north is light", which is extremely unbalanced. The vast northern region with Beiping, that is, the capital of the former Yuan Dynasty, is far from being comparable to the current capital city of Yingtian in terms of population, city size, and economic and cultural prosperity. Nai Thorn has never been to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, the prosperous and rich land of Jiangsu, and has been fond of this for a long time.
