Xuanhua.

"This is the Mughals? How is it similar to a group of Hanako? ”

Wang Yue looked outside with interest.

Hundreds of nomadic horsemen were galloping by, looking in a good mood, from the banks of the Troubled River, where the highest temperature was minus 50 degrees Celsius, to this place where the extreme cold weather was only minus 20 degrees Celsius, and the average temperature in winter was mostly less than freezing, they were really as happy as Eskimos in good weather......

Including their livestock.

At this time, the pasture grass on the banks of the River of Distress is probably still sealed under the ice and snow!

It's already green.

Wrapped in filthy leather robes, these men rode dwarf Mongolian horses, galloping like their singing and dancing descendants, who were real barbarians in this era, and had been isolated from the snowy wasteland for centuries.

"Back to the king, these Meng ancients were extremely poor, and it was even strictly forbidden to sell them iron tools in the old Liao period, they could only use their teeth to make arrowheads, but even then they often rebelled. The reason why Lao Liao was weakened was that in addition to Tianzuo's mediocrity and incompetence, and the Yelu family's infighting for the throne, it was largely exhausted by these guys.

It's not just the Moe Kobu.

Divination, Ugu, these are all the same.

Before the Jurchen rebellion, the old Liao had just put down the rebellion of the obstruction.

The garrisons on the grasslands of Kedun City and Hedong City need a lot of financial resources to maintain them every year, and even if they are at war with the Jurchens, the garrisons in these places do not dare to move, because once the garrison leaves, these Tatars will rebel, and at that time, the Khitan will not even have a way back. Tianzuo fled west because there was a grassland garrison behind him, and he knew that he still had a strong legion, but he didn't expect this legion to fall into the hands of Dashi Linya, and he would rather go to the Western Regions than come to help him. ”

Shi Xiong, the commander of the Second Cavalry Army beside him, said with some embarrassment.

Well, this is a Khitan.

Wang Yue's current generals, most of them are promoted from the grassroots level, there are all ethnic groups, he doesn't care if the Han people or other nationalities, anyway, now they are all Han people, this Shixiong is not only Khitan, but also the old Liao Heng Tent, that is, Yelu Abaoji series......

Of course, the Ministry.

He didn't even have a last name in the past, he just had a name.

This stone is his original name.

Khitan names.

The meaning of his previous Khitan name was stone, so he simply took Shi as his surname, and then the person in charge of registration added a male casually, and his name became Shi Xiong. Wang Yue's subordinates, except for Liu, who originally changed his surname to Yelu, and Xiao of various descendants, many of the remaining Khitan and Xi people were raised casually in this way, which was quite the style of the Meiji of the Wa Kingdom.

Anyway, it won't take many years, and their descendants will forget the source, in fact, now people like Shi Xiong are making up the source.

After all, they all like to find themselves a more majestic ancestor.

If you can find it, you can find it, and if you can't hire someone to find it, for example, Shi Xiong hired a poor Xiucai and made up an ancestor of Shi Shouxin's nephew for him.

This ancestor followed Shi Shouxin's son, the horse Shi Baoji with the sorghum river car god Northern Expedition, during the defeat of the Song army he was captured, and then was compiled into the Liao State Heng Tent, since then dare not say that he is from a background, but from generation to generation remember, now finally return to the homeland before daring to show his life experience. even sent someone to run to Shi Shouxin's descendants with gifts in the hope of recognizing their ancestors and returning to their ancestors, it shouldn't be a big problem, anyway, Shi Shouxin's family is quite depressed now, in fact, his grandchildren are already very ordinary. The highest among his grandsons is only the deputy of a road in the northwest, and it has been almost a hundred years since then, and there are no high-ranking officials in the court at all, and the family originally crossed to the south in history.

Now it is still very beneficial to be able to have a promising family with Wang Yue's subordinates.

This kind of thing is not uncommon.

The down-and-out old aristocracy needs the nouveau riche to be fed, and the nouveau riche needs the old nobility's signboard to gild themselves, which is a consensual thing, just as the New World tycoons at the end of the nineteenth century stared wide-eyed and searched for the marriage of those declining nobles in the Old World.

The latter is also full of anticipation and pounces on the upstart with the old ancestral coat of arms.

Anyway, all they have left is the coat of arms......

Uh, and the body.

"Forbidden iron."

Wang Yue said.

Indeed, this is the usual method of the steppe.

But now it is useless, because the Jurchens gave the Muguls a large number of iron weapons, even armor and weapons, in fact, before uniting with the Jurchens, they had already taken advantage of the war in the Liao State to start arming themselves.

"King, if you really fight, these Meng ancients are not so difficult to fight, in fact, if you set up a formation, the three cavalry armies can defeat them, but they will not fight us, as soon as our cavalry goes out, they will immediately disperse and flee. Even they can escape all the way to the Liao realm, the farthest time we chased them north to the Mandarin Duck Bo, but we really can't catch up any further, our cavalry is not like them after all, they have been riding horses like this all their lives. In the end, they had to return in vain, but after they came back, they came back immediately after, and there was a sentry that was eaten by them, and we were already like this, and the other three were not as good as us. ”

Shi Xiong said.

"Where is their king's tent?"

Wang Yue asked.

"It is also the irregular migration, the mandarin duck mooring, the dying water, the Baishuiluo, the Sanggan River, these are their four main stations, with the king's tent as the center, and each department is nomadic for hundreds of miles around, but they all have a general range, and usually the distance from the king's tent will not exceed two days. At present, it should still be on the bank of the Sanggan River east of Datong, before they didn't know our details, they once moved to Shunsheng and tried to rob our transportation line, but they were raided and beheaded by the last general more than 500 levels. They knew that we were not easy to provoke, so the king tent did not go east, and at this time they were still nomadic along the Sanggan River in the south of Datong, and Yang Zongmin could not beat them, so they could only hold in Datong City.

Zhe Keqiu attacked once, the Mughal people fled north to lure him into pursuit, and Zhe Keqiu was ambushed and besieged on the mountain just after Bai Mountain.

Yang Zongmin had no choice but to go out of the city to rescue.

After being rescued, he was forced into Datong City by the Muguls, and later the last general sent troops, plus Guo Qizhong went south, the Mughurs broke the siege, and Guo Qizhong attacked the rear team, Zhe Keqiu left Datong and returned to Yanmen Pass, and Yang Zongmin continued to echo north and south.

But the Mughals did not go far and continued to be nomadic in the area.

The most difficult thing now is that if they don't leave, the cultivation in this area will not be able to recover, and they are indeed very weak in siege ability, in fact, they will not be able to take any city that they hold onto. But their nomadism outside will make these cities orphaned, and even if they can transport supplies from outside, the final transportation cost will be extremely high, and most of them will be cheaper. The reason why they didn't leave like this was to take the population of Datong hostage, as long as Yang Zongmin didn't give up Datong, he would have to transport supplies to him, and then the Mughal people would grab these materials.

It's easiest to give up Datong directly, but then this area will become theirs completely. ”

Shi Xiong said.

Mandarin ducks moored in the north of Zhangbei, modern has become several small ponds, but at this time is the main lake outside the Saiwai, the paradise of nomads, the dying water is Daihai, Baishuiluo is the Yellow Flag Sea, nomads must follow the water source, either lakes or rivers, can not be too far away from this kind of place.

Previously, several major battlefields of the Liaojin War were also in these places.

At present, the entire battlefield is Datong as the core.

Indeed, abandoning Datong completely solved the passive situation of the entire battlefield, but abandoning Datong also gave the north of Yanmen Pass to the Muguls.

"Gotta give them a hard shot!"

Wang Yue said.

Shi Xiong looked at him cautiously.

"Evacuate Xuanhua!"

Wang Yue said suddenly.

"Well, the king is trying to lure the enemy?"

Shi Xiong said.

"Evacuate Xuanhua, release the news to the outside world, Sticky Han has conquered Jinzhou, Chizhan Hui surrendered, Yinshu can attack Yuguan forward, you need to return to Guannei to reinforce Zhang Jue, but you are not going back to Guannei, but retreating east to the mountains to find a place to hide. All the militia of Xuanhua withdrew to the Guannei, filled all the cars, even if they were filled with grass, and released the news to the outside world, saying that the 100,000 stone of grain and countless goods and ordnance hoarded by Xuanhua had withdrawn to the Guannai. ”

Wang Yue said.

Maybe you can learn about the civil fort.

It is completely isolated from Liaoxi, and even if they communicate with each other, it will take a long time, and it is impossible for the Mughuls to know the truth in a short time, and what they lack most is undoubtedly food. The Xuanda area experienced the continuous destruction of the Liaojin War, coupled with the Song-Jin War, especially Geng Shouzhong's large number of people, and the total population was only 400,000 when Yang Zongmin took over.

After the invasion of the Mughurs, all the surrounding areas of Datong shrank into Datong, and the remaining populations of Yingzhou, Shuozhou, and Ulzhou all fled south.

The Muguls didn't have to rob it.

Although they are nomads, and this area is more suitable for nomadic herding, but the lack of food is also inevitable, if there are really 100,000 stone of grain and countless goods, they are slowly rushing to Juyong Pass, they will inevitably rob it.

Then you can ambush them, at least give them a heavy blow.

It's really hard to deal with them when they spread out.

But just like the last time the White Tatars, once they fall into a special terrain and can't spread out and run, it is not difficult to encircle and annihilate, so the key is to let them enter the preset battlefield. The area around Tumubao is indeed a perfect preset battlefield, and in fact, it is not only Tumubao, but also this narrow valley from Xuanhua to the south to Badaling.

"It's not difficult to hide, there are ravines everywhere through the Longmen Pass, not to mention more than 10,000 cavalry, even 100,000 cavalry can be hidden, it is easy to have a king in charge and want to destroy them, just how to coax them to believe and come, this needs to be arranged, these Mugwu people look rough, but they are actually very cunning, and they are very careful."

Shi Xiong said.

"Tell you a secret!"

Wang Yue said with a smile.

The latter looked at him blankly......

"I'll take their word!"

Wang Yue said.
