Timur heard this Lu Jiaji speak like this, and his heart was also furious, just because he was in a high position, and his mind was to revitalize the Yuan Dynasty and enter the Central Plains again. ”

Although Highlander was angry in her heart, she was a general of the unified army after all. At this time, the words of the boss Deyin Timur were undoubtedly a military order that must be respected for him, and after glaring at Lu Jiayu fiercely in desperation, he turned around angrily and strode out of the tent. When he came to the outside of the big tent, he spat heavily on the ground, and cursed in a low voice: "A slave dares to scold us for being wolves, and as a Han Chinese, he scolds his own people for being sheep." And what are you? It's just something that a dog can't do. In my mind, I recalled that after Lan Yu's night attack on Gyeongju, I was locked outside the city gate, and I watched the Ming soldiers strangling the Yuan army under Guolai at the head of the city, and I led the army to chase and kill Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, and a few others, but on the slope of the mountain, I gave them a tragic situation of using the terrain to smash stones, and secretly thought: In my opinion, these southern barbarians are more cunning than foxes, where are they like sheep? The warriors of our grassland tribes advocate eagles, and the livestock that they regard as relatives are also horses, can the jackals be compared with us?

It's no surprise that Highlander is so annoyed, as August is the "tender hoof season" for animals. Because this is the time when the thistles come out of the hard thorns, the beasts are running on it, and the hooves and paws are thin, and they can't run far. So it's the best time to get rid of the wolf. If it is in the cold dew of September, its hooves will be hard, and it will not be so easy to catch up. Every season, the hunters make a careful arrangement in advance, forming an encirclement in the place where the wolves are frequented, and shrinking while scouting. At a certain point, people were sent in to frighten the wolves, and the wolves naturally fled in all directions. The hunters, intent on their escape, opened a gap and let them run, and at the same time sent one man on a fast horse to chase them, and then a second one, and two or three fast horses were replaced, and the wolf could not stand it, and crawled on the ground to look at the hunters who were chasing it.

Then another hunter crept up behind it, knocked the wolf out of the back of the head with his club, and then stabbed it in the mouth with a whip and tied it with the tip of the whip. You can skin it alive. When an experienced hunter hunts a wolf, he often chases after it for a while, and when it is exhausted, Pegasus grazes the wolf's side and deliberately lets the wolf bite the hem of his Mongolian robe. At that moment, it hit the bridge of his nose and killed him with a blow. When encountering a she-wolf with a cub, the she-wolf is first killed, and then the burrow is smoked to death by smoking the wolf cubs. It should be noted that during this period, the she-wolf must be killed first. If the wolf cub is killed and the she-wolf is missed, the latter will retaliate frantically, often killing a lot of livestock afterwards. It can be seen that the grassland herders all regard those who threaten their lives and the lives of their livestock as henchmen and wolves, and regard the hunting of wolves as the most glorious act of tribal warriors to prove their bravery and good fighting.

In the big tent, Lu Jiayu saw that Fang Cai Hailanda was furious and almost pulled out a knife to kill himself, his heart was frightened and uneasy, and his face was quite pale, and after seeing this barbaric Northern Yuan general leave the tent, he said softly: "The villain is just a metaphor, and I hope that you will be offended by many things." ”

Deyin Timur snorted lightly in his nose, and secretly thought to himself: You compare the Han people to sheep between your words, and I would have thought the same way before I was twenty years old, but my eldest brother Kuangkuo Timur, known as the famous general of the Great Yuan, and Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong, these people have fought countless times, and they have lost more than they won. I really can't see where the Ming Dynasty of Zhu Yuanzhang's old man is like a sheep? Thinking of this, he said in a deep voice: "Okay, don't tell the story of your sheep and wolf. Let's talk about the army's attack. ”

Lu Jiayu pondered for a moment and said: "As far as the villain can see, the first thing is to persuade His Majesty to participate in the hunt and boost the morale of the three armies. Wash away the hedonistic atmosphere that has been contaminated by the Southern Song Dynasty and Han people for several generations, and restore the brave and warlike style of the Mongolian iron cavalry in the past. The second is to hoard grain and grass and prepare the army for war. Speaking of this, after a slight pause, he looked at the barbarian, and continued with a smile: "As the villain can see, although Guilichi, Arutai, and Mahamu are also quite disobedient to His Majesty's will, they still dare not openly rebel. At that time, when fighting with the Ming army, it is better to let the Oirat tribe of Mahamu serve as the vanguard and fight with the Ming army. ”

The barbarians, Tayin Timur, and Harazhang couldn't help but light up when they heard this.

Harazhang coughed lightly and then said in a deep voice: "In my opinion, the Qiergis tribe of Guilichi is the strongest among the three clans, and the people are also the most arrogant. Why not let him be the vanguard, take the opportunity to weaken, but let Mahamu take the lead? ”

The barbarian waved his hand lightly and chuckled: "In the opinion of this official, although the Oirat tribe known as the "people of the forest" among the three tribes has the smallest number of troops, it has always been fierce and good at fighting since the time of Genghis Khan, and it must not be underestimated. And although Mahamu's talent and intelligence are mediocre, his son Tuhuan is by no means a long-term subordinate, so he can't be guarded against. The most important thing is that the territory of the Oirat tribe is not far to the north of us, as long as he refuses to respect His Majesty's will, we will simply promise Arutai and Guilichi, let them divide the territory of the Oirat tribe, and join forces with us to destroy the Oirat tribe, I think they will also feel very happy. ”

Hearing this, Timur and Harazhang couldn't help but look at each other and laughed proudly.

Zhu Quan, Zhu Di, under the leadership of Lan Yu, led three thousand Ming soldiers to stay overnight. After more than a month, Beiping has passed. It has come to the territory of Daning, look around, only to see the ravines vertical and horizontal, the mountains are undulating, the landform is complex, the whole terrain is high in the north and south, low in the middle, and gradually inclined from east to west. Surrounded by mountains in the north and south, the central hills and Yuanchuan are staggered, and the Xinshui River crosses the county border from east to west and flows into the Yellow River.

Zhu Quan saw the rather complicated terrain here, and secretly thought to himself: Marshal Feng Sheng and General Fu Youde chose Daning as a fortress at the beginning, which was really good. The complex terrain of ravines, rivers, mountains, and plains is an excellent place to stop the nomadic cavalry and defend the northern provinces.

It turned out that he followed Feng Sheng to conquer Nahachu last time, and he also passed by here, but he did not experience the battlefield last time, and he could only be said to be ignorant, after experiencing the battle with the Yuan army in Gyeongju, he had already deeply realized that although the cavalry impact of the nomadic tribe was strong, it also had to rely on the terrain that was conducive to development such as the plains in order to exert the greatest power. No matter how powerful the cavalry is, in the face of narrow ravines, condescending mountains and fortified cities, it is useless.

A day later, in the afternoon, Zhu Quan and his entourage finally came to the city of Daning. I saw that the city wall in the distance had been raised a lot, and it was not the same as when I followed Feng Sheng's northern expedition in the past. The ant-like people of the city are still busy building the walls.

Zhu Quan rode the "dark clouds covered with snow" and came to the outside of the city gate. A middle-aged general in armor and about forty years old led a team of sergeants to ride a horse, bowed to Zhu Di, Zhu Quan, and Lan Yu and said, "Your Majesty Guo Ying sees the two highnesses, General Lan." "It was after Feng Sheng returned to the north that he led 30,000 soldiers and 200,000 people to continue to build the former military capital of Daning, Wuding Marquis Guo Ying.

Lan Yu nodded, and asked Wang Bi to lead three thousand soldiers to camp outside the city, and himself, Zhu Di, and Zhu Quan led thousands of households into the city with their guards.

Half a month later, the Ming cavalry mobilized by the guards had arrived one after another to camp outside Daning City.

At dusk, in the handsome tent, Lan Yu stood in the center, and in front of him stood Wang Bi, Guo Ying, and Geng Zhong and Sun Ke. On one side sat Zhu Quan, King of Ning, and Zhu Di, King of Yan.

Lan Yu looked at the map given by Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, Huo Ran turned around and said in a deep voice to the generals: "Pass on my general's order, starting from tonight, all cavalry will tie their war horses in front of the tent, sleep in their clothes, and not take off their armor." All bows, arrows, knives and other weapons are placed in front of you. An army of 150,000 is not allowed to enter the city for a single step, and it is not allowed to violate it. ”

Sun Ke, who was in his thirties and had a slightly rough appearance, frowned and asked, "Now it has begun to enter the rainy season, and it will often rain after that." Some men and horses can also be stationed in Daning City, so it is better to let the brothers take turns to go into the city for the night, so as not to be exposed to wind and rain in this wilderness. "It turns out that when the tent camping in the field of the army encounters heavy rain, there is often a leakage of rain, and it is common to sleep until midnight and be made **. Sun Ke is also a veteran general in the army, and he has always loved soldiers, and he doesn't want his soldiers to suffer too much, so he said.

"Rain? Even if you put down a knife, you will not be allowed to give orders from the general, and you will not be allowed to enter the city even a single step. Lan Yu said coldly Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Jinyiwei and Cao Wenbin, who knew it, and continued: "You and Jinyiwei are also soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and they are responsible for the safety of the two highnesses, so naturally they will stay in the barracks." ”

Zhu Quan and Zhu Di couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this, and couldn't help but smile slightly bitterly.

Zhu Quan was angry and funny in his heart, and secretly thought: This blue crab said to Cao Wenbin in the open, but in fact, it was insinuation, afraid that Zhu Laosi and I would sneak into the city to sleep.

Guo Ying, Geng Zhong, and Sun Ke saw that King Ning and King Yan, as well as Cao Wenbin, the leader of the emperor's pro-army Jinyiwei, did not speak, and even though they were slightly displeased in their hearts, they had to bow down and respect the military order.

In the middle of the night, when Zhu Quan was sleeping soundly, a noisy sound suddenly sounded in his ears. Suddenly alert in his heart, he reached out and took the long sword at his side, and walked out of the camp to take a look. I saw a group of dozens of Ming soldiers holding torches and carrying war knives not far away, led by Lan Yu, who was wearing armor, and came to the camp where several Ming troops were resting.

With Lan Yu's order, Wang Erhu and the other guards rushed into the already dark camp like wolves. With a burst of shouting, scolding, punching and kicking, a topless Ming sergeant was grabbed and immediately pressed to the ground, tied with ropes.

Lan Yu led a few guards to walk through the camp tent on Zhu Quan's side, turned his head and looked at Ma Sanbao, Jing Jun, Sima Chao and the other three who walked out of the camp tent on one side, all carrying swords and wearing clothes and armor, without saying a word, and left quickly with a calm face.

Zhu Quanren nodded with satisfaction, and smiled at Ma Sanbao and the others: "You are still clever, if you catch Lan Yu, I am afraid that you will have to eat dozens of military sticks before you can stop." ”
