Chapter 32 The Wind Rises in the Desert North

It took two days to return to the camp.

If the king of Yan leaves the captives behind, or kills them all. Time can be a little faster. But it's not that King Yan can't do such a thing, but King Yan feels that it's okay to kill him on the battlefield. If it is killed, then it will be too difficult to recruit the Mongols again.

So I'd rather spend a little time than do something like this.

As soon as he returned to the camp, he first went to the Chinese military tent to hand over his errand. Xu Da hurriedly saw him and let him go.

As soon as he came out, he saw King Jin. King Yan strode over and said, "Third brother, have you ever handed over the errand, how many beheadings, how many captures, to put it mildly." ”

King Jin's face turned pale, and he said, "I, I, I," and said three "I" in a row. But I couldn't go on.

As soon as King Yan saw King Jin like this, he knew that things were not going well. "What's wrong?" he asked. ”

King Jin said secretly: "Even if I don't say it, this matter will spread to the camp." He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm lost." By the time they arrived, the Tartars had already run away. ”

King Yan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "Third brother, you -----"

King Jin jumped like thunder and said, "What, isn't it just lost? You haven't lost your way," Immediately, what Wei Qing was undefeated was fortunate by God, and Li Guang had no merit. Can the matter of fighting a war be considered a loss?

So King Yan's face smiled even harder.

King Jin seems to have forgotten one thing, the current army commander. Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, is known by many people as a contemporary Wei Qing. Thereupon. King Yan laughed even harder.

At this moment, there is no gap between the brothers because of the throne, and all King Yan thinks about is to tell his father-in-law about King Jin's affairs today, and then look at King Jin's face.

King Yan laughed more and more from ear to ear.

-------

Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, didn't know what the two brothers were doing now.

At this moment, Xu Da is summarizing news from all parties.

This military operation can be called a thunderbolt. It was in vain that last year I prepared for a year, and within half a month, the entire southern Mongolia was swept away and expelled. From now on, Monan Mongolia is no longer Mongolian, but Ming.

It's just that the war went smoothly. It was too smooth, and it also made Xu Da mutter in his heart.

At least, Xu Da did not receive a single defeat report, and the worst thing was to get lost like King Jin. Let the enemy run away.

Of course, the reason for letting the enemy run away is not necessarily to get lost, the result is the same.

This result can't help but make Xu Da suspicious.

The whole of Monan Mongolia can feed two or three million Mongolians. It's just the number in its heyday, and now it's even a little less. A million Mongols. In the nature of the Mongols, all the people are soldiers. A million men drew at least 100,000 cavalry.

And even more.

Now it is almost as if there is no resistance.

Where is the main force of the enemy?

There are only two possibilities for this problem, one is that this chapter is played too quickly and prepared too well. So that the Mongols did not have time to react. The Mongols simply did not have time to resist. The second reason. It was the Mongols who adopted a strategy of avoiding war, that is, in places that the Ming army had not explored, there was a Mongol army eyeing them.

These two answers lingered in Xu Da's heart.

In fact, it is not difficult to solve such an answer, just count the decapitation skills of the whole army and check all the heads. But it will take time. Once you miss this time period, even if you know the answer, it is useless.

He didn't think that the Mongols would be beaten and he couldn't react after that.

He calculated widely, ten days, within ten days, the remnant yuan would definitely know the news. But it is not known when the remnants will start the counteroffensive. It depends on who the remnant master will be. But be prepared, absolutely.

Xu Da thought about it and asked Mu Ying and Lan Yu to come over.

Mu Ying and Lan Yu are of similar age, but they are completely different in temperament. Although Mu Ying was raised by Zhu Yuanzhang, she is humble. Low profile. Generally not showy. But there is also some arrogance in his bones.

And sapphire is different. Lan Yu's arrogance was not cultivated in a day. Now Lan Yu is already very arrogant.

Xu Da directly threw this question to Lan Yu and Mu Ying. Said: "Where is the main force of the Mongols? ”

Lan Yu replied directly: "The main force, where is the main force, I just summarized the beheadings of all parties, and there are already fifty thousand levels." I don't believe that the Mongols still have any main forces, unless the Yuan court sends troops. Guogong, the minister invited 30,000 soldiers, immediately attacked, crossed the Hanhai, and raided the remnant Yuan royal court. ”

Xu Da actually knows the total number of beheadings.

But he knows better than Lan Yu the catty in the number of beheadings, and generally all parties can report a lot more. When beheading, there are often examples of indiscriminate filling, and it is also common to fill the heads of women and old people into the heads of soldiers.

After all, one more head is one more reward.

Inside, the army did not dare to do anything to kill the good and take the merits, but on the territory of Mongolia, even if the above knew about killing the Mongols, they would not say much.

After all, when the soldiers sent out the army, they all hoped to get more rewards and go home. It's not here for public welfare.

Therefore, the total number of beheadings cannot be trusted. It is not even necessary to tell whose head was beheaded, and even the numerical calculations may not be accurate. You have to settle it out to know the exact number.

However, 50,000 decapitations, even if some water is crushed, is already quite a lot. The tribes of southern Mongolia in the south of the desert, those who died, those who surrendered, those who fled, and those who fled, were seriously injured. But it does not mean that the tribes of southern Mongolia have no power to fight back.

It's also a different style of conducting.

The same evidence, here in Sapphire, can already be determined. But here in Xu Da, there is still a little missing.

Xu Da looked at Mu Ying again.

Mu Ying pondered for a moment. said: "When the last general was in Nanjing, I heard how His Majesty talked about this battle, and the important thing in this battle was to include Mo Nan in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, not to raid Mongolia. The last general thought that now he could report to the imperial court. And he chose the place to build the city in Monan. ”

"As for the rest, just ask for your life."

Lan Yu sneered and said, "Fight by asking for instructions." You can't even eat hot. ”

Xu Da listened and judged the talents of the two people.

Lan Yu's military talent is better than Mu Ying's. But it's too reckless to be a human being. He fights, and it is easy to win and lose. If you hold each other for a long time, you will lack patience and resilience.

Mu Ying, on the contrary, is resilient. Be patient. A little bit forward-looking. It is estimated that he is not as beautiful as Lan Yu in terms of record. But it is enough to entrust one party. The most important thing is that Mu Ying's political sensitivity is more than Lan Yu I don't know how many times.

It seems that Mu Ying doesn't do anything and fights by asking for instructions, but in fact, Mu Ying is already hinting. Follow the steps in Nanjing. Zhu Yuanzhang wants to be Monan, and it is not in the plan to fight Mobei at this time. It should have been vetoed, but it couldn't be vetoed for the sake of face, so let's ask for instructions.

This is like Sima Yi, when he was fighting against Zhuge Liang, the people below had to fight, and Sima Yi went to Luoyang to ask for instructions. That in itself already shows the attitude. Mu Ying didn't know about this request, and the fighter plane missed it.

Mu Ying didn't want to fight herself.

Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, suddenly asked, "How long does it take to build a city in Monan?" ”

Mu Ying said: "The last general thinks that it is good to be able to repair it before the snow falls this year. ”

Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, said: "Then do you think that before the snow falls this year, the Mongols will not go south?" Won't they send troops? ”

Mu Ying said: "What Guogong means. ”

Xu Da said: "Preemptively, Lan Yu, if you want 30,000 cavalry, I can't give it." I can only give you 5,000 and immediately send troops to cross the Hanhai, north of the Hanhai, I will not be remote, but I will not cross the Yellow River. ”

The Little Yellow River is the Huang River. In the north and south of the desert. Not in-depth.

Lan Yu was a little reluctant, but he still knew that the military order was difficult to disobey, and he didn't dare to talk back to Xu Da. He said, "It is the last general who obeys." ”

Xu Da said: "You go." Remember not to go deep into the Yellow River. ”

Lan Yu said, "The last general obeys. Then he left.

Xu Da said: "Lan Yu is too reckless, you go and help him." ”

Mu Ying said: "What Guogong means. ”

Xu Da said: "Your headquarters is camped on the Little Yellow River, and Lan Yu will definitely go deeper." Where are you answering him? ”
