266 Showdown

North of the Hetao Yellow River, more than 80 miles outside the original Fengzhou City, Timuge and more than 2,000 tribesmen are desperately fleeing.

Timuq was very angry, didn't he say that Dontapu was a general with a heavy army? Why did the Zataran do this, and how dare they do it? Aren't you afraid of retaliation?

Timuge knew that the Zataran tribe was a close comrade-in-arms and close relative of the Golden Family's Qiyan Division, and it was a tribe second only to the Golden Family that was very powerful after the establishment of the Great Meng, but there was no need to bully himself like this! Although the Tatar tribe used to be the sworn enemy of the Golden Family, after so many years, those who should be oppressed and bullied have reached the limit, and those who should be repaid are finished, and the entire tribe can't live anymore, let alone anything valuable.

I couldn't help but cry, I thought that with the protection of Dontap, my people would be a little better, and the rich Timuge of the Hetao knew it, but now I haven't lived a good life, and the first batch of 8,000 clansmen are now only 2,000 left, how can I explain this to the leader of the clan! If it weren't for the sudden appearance of a team of black knights and their escape, it is estimated that more than 2,000 people would not have survived.

The thunderous sound of hooves sounded in the sky, and Timug closed his eyes in despair.

The cluster of tens of thousands of cavalry was amazing, but the expected slaughter did not come, and the leading general Timug naturally knew that it was Dontap.

Dontapu didn't look at Timuge, who fell to the ground softly, but looked at the group of black-clothed knights vigilantly, and they didn't relax until they took out Qin Zhenghao's unique order letter.

In the Generalissimo's Mansion of Chang'an, it is no longer Zahemin who sits in the first place, but Qin Zhenghao, Zahemin is still alive and will show up from time to time, but unfortunately there is no freedom for a long time.

Looking at the silent Dontap, Qin Zhenghao sighed a little, His Highness's move is indeed very useful, but is this still the benevolent and righteous Highness? It is indeed ruthless enough to the foreigners.

Now that Dontap has come to the order, it's time for a showdown.

"Tap, do you know who those knights who saved your people this time?"

Dontap wondered in his heart: "Didn't you send it from the court?" ”

"They are the spies of His Royal Highness King Yan in the Central Plains lurking in the Hetao area, I asked His Royal Highness King Yan to take care of your migrating clansmen, if not, I'm afraid none of your clansmen will survive."

Come on? Care? Dontapu looked at Qin Zhenghao in shock, what is the relationship between the envoy and Lin Jianyue? How is this possible?

"Tapu, it's all to blame for my lack of thoughtfulness, you are the deputy marshal of Guanzhong, and your actions in Hetao have hurt the interests of many people, I just got the news, and I'm not afraid to tell you, Your Majesty... Li Chongshan is about to withdraw from Hebei Huihetao, how can he let you really take root in the rich Nanhetao and completely control the Nanhetao? Naturally, they will use the hands of others to strike you, and if you don't think of a way, the order to dismiss you from your post will come down soon. ”

Qin Zhenghao must eliminate the suspicion that His Royal Highness designed to frame him, the tribes on the grassland are not really a family, not to mention that there is still a feud, although the reason is reluctant, but it makes sense.

"As you think, yes, I am the biggest traitor that His Royal Highness King Yan ambushed beside Li Chongshan. Tap, are you going to turn against me? Don't worry, if you don't want to go with me, I won't do anything to you, let alone stop you, you can take your soldiers and your people back to Mobei. ”

Qin Zhenghao didn't say that there would be any benefits in following him in the future, he just wanted to see what options Dontap had in this situation.

Decades of oppression, the helpless wailing of young children under the horses' hooves, and the corpses of trampled people all appeared in front of Dontap's eyes, and he did not think more and did not hesitate.

Dontapu knelt down: "I, my people, if I don't have an envoy, I may have been wiped out." Tapu had sworn to the Immortal Heaven before that he would always follow the Envoy in this life, and he still does. ”

"How long can I live, Tap? However, watching His Highness conquer the grasslands can still be done. It's not me you're going to follow, it's His Royal Highness King Yan! ”

Qin Zhenghao wanted to help Dontap up, but he didn't get up, Qin Zhenghao understood what he meant.

"Tapu, you know the current situation, Li Chongshan should not be able to resist His Royal Highness King Yan, not to mention that there is a traitor like me who controls Guanzhong, it is even more impossible. The grassland is too big, His Royal Highness told me that the east of Yinshan Mountain and the south of Daqing Mountain belong to the central land, and it is impossible to build a country, but Mobei can, His Highness also needs someone to help him control there, and I choose you. You are not familiar with Your Highness now, it doesn't matter, you will know Your Highness in the future, and I will help you in the future. It will take a long time for Your Highness to take the steppe, and he needs your help. When we take down the entire Hetao, we can first move the people here to cultivate and recuperate, and when we are stronger, we can return to our hometown to build a country, do you understand? ”

Qin Zhenghao spoke earnestly, this was his sincere words, that is, no clansmen were attacked, in fact, he could convince Dontap, but the time was advanced.

Dontap could feel Qin Zhenghao's sincerity, tears flowed down, and he kowtowed heavily.

"There are many people in your army who won't go with you, so let's screen them well, try to choose those tribes that are not doing well and are oppressed, and if you don't feel at ease, gather them, I will transfer them elsewhere. Tapu, you are an old soldier leader, you should know what to do, we can't expose it now, we have to give Li Chongshan the biggest and most fatal blow at the right time, and realize our plan as soon as possible, you know? ”

Dontap nodded and said, "But where is Wei Qi?" ”

Qin Zhenghao said with a smile: "Don't worry, otherwise why would I let him attack the Hetao with you?" ”

In February 249, Cao Zheng led the Longyou army to secretly cross the river into Guanzhong.

Because Dontapu made his position clear, he didn't have to be too sneaky to cross the river, and soon took control of several states north of Jingzhao Province as planned.

Cao Zheng, who arrived in Guanzhong, was a little worried, he found that although the forbidden army from Jianning was strong and had undergone joint training, it still couldn't adapt to the transformation into cavalry to fight.

After thinking about it, he wrote a letter to Lin Jianyue and Qin Zhenghao, suggesting that the troops of Long You Army and Wei Qi should be partially transferred, and all the troops of the original Wei Qi should be changed to cavalry army, and all of his original Long You army should be changed to crossbow soldiers and heavy infantry, so that they can give full play to their respective advantages and be easy to control.

The canal has been dredged to Luoyang, and with the strong bow and crossbow production capacity in the south of the Yangtze River, it is inevitable that a powerful cavalry bow and crossbow infantry battalion can be formed soon, and the enemy can be terrified by dismounting from the horse, and the enemy will be terrified by cooperating with the cavalry on the grassland.

This suggestion was of great significance, and it was quickly endorsed and appreciated by Lin Jianyue and Qin Zhenghao, and even thought that it could be partially promoted.

Lin Jianyue admired Cao Zheng very much, and immediately added Cao Zheng as the general of Zhengxi, Cao Yin had a child again, which was very beneficial to the entire military and political pattern in the future, Lin Jianyue was already consciously decentralizing power, he needed many people like Cao Zheng, maybe there were already many such people in his subordinates, but he didn't notice it.

From Cao Zheng's actions, Lin Jianyue developed an association and inspiration, after the war, it was necessary to transfer not only the troops below, but also the commanders of various armies.
