When Zhu Quan heard him say this, he sighed secretly in his heart: The range he said looks only as big as a palm on the map, but in fact it is only a thousand square kilometers. If it is summer and autumn, the Yuan army is strong and strong, coming and going like the wind, and it is impossible to lock on to the target at all. Our army can only look for these lakes and rivers in the vicinity of these lakes and rivers, as the old man said, in late winter and early spring, when their horses are weak and their water sources are limited. However, there are many rivers here, plus two freshwater lakes, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to find the exact location of the enemy.

Lan Yu asked in a deep voice, "What is the situation of the Tartars' troops and generals?" ”

At present, the Yuan army under the Northern Yuan barbarian chief Togus Timur is roughly divided into three parts, Taiwei Barbarian, with nearly 90,000 elite cavalry under his command, and the strongest combat power is the remnants of the die-hard remnants left after the death of the former Yuan Dynasty warrior Kuangkuo Timur. At present, he is led by his younger brother Zhan Shifu Tongzhi Toyin Timur. Cao Wenbin said slowly.

Lan Yu snorted coldly in his nose and said, "This guy is that Wang Baobao, right?" In the past, Xu Shuai's Northern Expedition was blocked by his hands. This guy is known as the first fierce general of the Yuan Dynasty, but unfortunately he died of illness a few years ago, and we can only settle accounts with his younger brother. Thinking of this, there was a faint pity in his heart, and he secretly thought to himself: With Xu Shuai's means, the Northern Expedition in the past was also lost in the hands of Wang Baobao, and the 90,000 yuan army under the command of his younger brother should naturally not be underestimated. It's a pity that I didn't have a chance to clean up this Wang Baobao with my own hands.

Cao Wenbin nodded when he heard this, and continued: "The second is the 70,000 yuan army led by the Northern Yuan Prime Minister Ha Tingzhang and Naier Buhua. The remaining 50,000 or so Yuan troops of the large and small tribes belonged to the command of Wu Wang Duoer, Dai Wang Darima, and Pingzhang Balan. ”

Zhu Quan looked at Cao Wenbin, and suddenly chuckled: "It's rare that Lord Cao knows so well about the situation of the generals of the Northern Yuan Army. ”

Cao Wenbin smiled and said, "Your Majesty is obedient to the tribes and herdsmen who come to the northern provinces and allow them to live according to their own customs. In the past, Cao served as a fellow secretary of Jinyi and Wei, and was responsible for foreign affairs. Dispatch the clever people under his command, hide in the civil caravans, and spread the news among the tribes of the grassland that the Ming Dynasty does not kill indiscriminately and discriminates against the Cypriot races. East! Square! Over the years, there have been .com Yuan Dynasty officials who followed Timur of Togus, who couldn't bear the ugly life in the bitter cold land of Mobei, and fled back to the Central Plains with their families. I placed under the powerful subordinates of the Northern Guards and Beiping, and for these officials who had held important positions in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and those who knew something about the situation of the Mobei Yuan Army, I would do my best to take out something useful from their mouths and report it to the lower officials. ”

Zhu Quan smiled when he heard this: "Lord Cao is not afraid of those imperial histories in the court and the central government, and the official will impeach you if he knows about it?" He has been with Jiang Xian, the current commander of Jinyiwei, for a long time, and naturally knows that the so-called means of obtaining intelligence in Cao Wenbin's mouth are nothing more than torture, arresting his wife and children to coerce him.

Cao Wenbin was slightly displeased when he heard this, sighed and said: "Jinyi Wei is the pro-army of His Majesty the Emperor, and it is within his duty to eliminate the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty who dare to threaten my Ming Dynasty. As for what is right or wrong, it is not in Cao's consideration. Besides, when the Yuan Dynasty was tyrannical in the past, people were divided into four classes, and the Han and Nan people under the rule of the Mongols were untouchables. Kill the Mongols to pay for their lives, kill back and pay a fine of 80 taels of silver, and kill the Han people to pay the price of a donkey for a meal. The Han people can't even have names, and several families share a kitchen knife, and countless people died in the year of famine. Cao's methods are naturally intolerable in the eyes of those sour Confucians, but compared with the methods of the Tartars, they are still trivial, right? ”

Zhu Quan couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart when he heard this, and secretly thought to himself: What the surname Cao said is good, even if he is ruthless, he is afraid that he will not be able to kill tens of thousands of people in his life, right? In ancient times, when the production of such food was far behind that of later generations, how many people were killed by a famine? In our history books, we can only use many, many of these abstract words to sum it up. Hundreds of years later, many people scoff at Jinyiwei, the first spy organization in Chinese history. But I have completely forgotten that even the United States, which clamors about human rights and freedom every day, does not have secret services such as the CIA? Their methods are just unknown to ordinary people. East#Fang#Net .com war is too practical, and it is not just a matter of reason that can defeat a fierce enemy. To do extraordinary things at extraordinary times, you need to be ruthless and extraordinary people like Jinyiwei.

Lan Yu heard Zhu Quan's words, couldn't help frowning, slightly impatient, and after squinting at him, he secretly thought: This King Ning, when he was in Gyeongju, and Xu Ying didn't know how many Yuan troops he killed with his own hands in the city. At this time, the mother-in-law and mother got up. As soon as I thought of Xu Ying's appearance, I felt that Zhu Quan in my eyes was less pleasing than Cao Wenbin, and secretly made up my mind and thought: Your Majesty has promised before the Manchu Dynasty that as long as I return from a great victory, I can be promoted to "Liang Guogong". Thinking of this, he coughed lightly and said, "The two highnesses and Lord Cao should go back and rest, we will have to hurry tomorrow at dawn." ”

Zhu Quan, Zhu Di and others saw him so tactfully chasing away guests, so they had to return to their camps.

Jing Jun, who was following Zhu Quan's side, saw that all the Jinyi guards who were accompanying him to protect him were patrolling a few feet away from the camp tents of the two princes, and couldn't help but whisper: "This Cao Wenbin looks like this, but he is also knowledgeable and interesting, but I am afraid that it will be more difficult than the current Jinyi Guard commander Jiang Xian." ”

Zhu Quan chuckled when he heard this: "In my guess, the people who followed Cao Wenbin this time are all confidants who have followed him for many years, and they are capable subordinates." Jiang Xian's gang is to let them participate in this bloody Northern Expedition, which is justified in eradicating dissidents. ”

At the same time, on the shore of Haizi Lake in the north of the desert, the cold wind is howling. In the dark night, among the tents that stretched for dozens of miles, there was a large cowhide tent that was still brightly lit.

A few people sat on the ground in the tent, listening to a Mongolian commander tell that some time ago, the Ming Dynasty expeditionary army, under the leadership of Feng Sheng and Fu Youde, forced the surrender of more than 200,000 yuan of troops under the command of Nahachu, the commander of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

On the left side of the desk, a short, stout middle-aged Mongolian man about forty years old, with twinkling eyes, couldn't help but reach out and slap the table after hearing the report of the ten thousand masters. Scattering the mare's milk wine in the wine glasses on the table, the commander of the ten thousand men with angry eyebrows rebuked in Mongolian: "Highlander, you useless thing, led five thousand cavalry to Liaodong, and the whole army was destroyed? Do you still have the face to come back? Speaking of this, he said angrily to the two soldiers behind him: "Escort this useless waste to this official and cut it down." ”

It turned out that this commander of the Yuan army was the Northern Yuan general Hailanda who was ordered to lead his army to Liaodong to reinforce Nahachu last time. After his 5,000 cavalry attacked Lanyu at night, he killed Feng Tieling's cavalry and fled, suffering heavy casualties. After the loss of Gyeongju, under the strict order of Nahachu to attack the city, the Ming army defending the city was killed and wounded countless under the rain of arrows with strong bows and crossbows, and finally the remaining hundreds of remnants were defeated when ambushing Shen Peng's caravan, pursued Zhu Quan, Qin Zhuofeng and others climbed the mountain, and hurriedly fled under the killing of the terrain for the other party, and after a lot of hardships, he finally returned to Mobei with more than a dozen subordinates earlier, and found the location of the Yuan Court.

When Highlander saw the two guards rushing forward to capture her, she could only bow her head and remain silent, not daring to resist. After all, it is an indisputable fact that he was defeated and fled back, and if his boss Zhan Shifu and Zhituo Timur wanted to behead himself and show himself to the public and order the three armies, it would be helpless.

In the big tent sat two other high-ranking officials of the Northern Yuan court. The lion-nosed eagle-eyed, gray-haired, and fifty-year-old man above the main seat in the center was a Taiwei barbarian. The man sitting opposite Timur was tall and mighty, richly dressed, and his face was quite vicious.

When Harazhang saw that Tayin Timur was going to kill Highlander, he was a little amused in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Wait. Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at the barbarian and Tayin Timur, stood up and said: "After all, General Highlander only has a few thousand soldiers in his hands, how can he fight against Feng Sheng and Fu Youde?" Although he was defeated and fled back, after all, he was loyal to His Majesty. It is better to let him wear the guilt and make meritorious contributions. ”

The reason why Highlander is loyal to the current Northern Yuan Emperor is because his ancestors were also born in the golden family of Kublai Khan. The barbarian and Toyin Timur knew that the defeat was largely due to the lack of reinforcements for Nahachu, so naturally they would not kill this confidant general loyal to the emperor because of this matter, and they were just showing it to Harazhang.

"Captain Ben remembers that you are loyal to Your Majesty, and the strength in your hands is indeed limited, and the defeat is not entirely your fault, and you are allowed to make meritorious contributions." The barbarian said with a calm face.

After letting go of the two soldiers, Highlander bowed his head and stood behind his superior, Deyin Timur.

The barbarian sighed and said, "I thought that Nahachu had more than 200,000 troops in his hands after all, and he knew how to fight. Feng Sheng, even if Fu Youde's army wins, it will have to suffer heavy casualties. Under the damage of the Ming Dynasty's military strength, it is bound to win us several years, how do you know that people are not as good as heaven, Nahachu actually forced Feng Sheng to surrender at the end of the mountain. A few years ago, King Liang attacked Fu Youde's army in Yunnan and was defeated and died. At present, Nahachu forced Feng Sheng to surrender without a fight. Zhu Yuanzhang's Ming Dynasty has strong troops at the moment, and his next target is naturally us, and the situation is really not good. ”

Hearing this, Harazhang was extremely annoyed in his heart, stretched out his hand and slapped it on the table, and said angrily: "The two things of the prefect and the prime minister are cowardly, and they confuse the emperor all day long. His Majesty is still addicted to wine, singing and dancing every day. The last time Lord Taiwei proposed to personally lead an army of 50,000 to reinforce Nahachu, it was also a bad thing for these two guys. These two things don't fight at all. Although Nahachu has self-respecting troops and has always disobeyed His Majesty's will, after all, he is still in a situation of dying with us. It's okay for the two wastes who can't see this at all to be in a high position, but they still have to point fingers at military affairs, what is the difference between this and Cai Jing and Tong Guan in the Southern Song Dynasty in the past? Speaking of this, I couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
