Chapter 117: The Royal Court Comes to Report
The scenery on the grassland has always been the same, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, the blue sky is connected with the horizon, and the heaven and earth are brilliant and brilliant together.
Wang Qi stopped on his horse, looking at the pastures and cattle and sheep in the distance.
In three days, when Songshan Fort was surrounded by the Houjin army, the Ming soldiers fought bloodily, and all the attention of the Houjin was attracted by the Ming army of Songshan Fort, Wang Qi led the only more than 3,000 people under his command to bypass the daughter river, cross the upper reaches of the Xiaoling River, and enter the vast grassland.
After entering the grassland, his feet sped up, and it took less than a day to wade through the upper reaches of the Daling River.
Now, the location of the army is the southern boundary between the Horqin tribe and the Chahar tribe.
"My lord, Battle's troops have arrived more than fifty miles north of our department, and a team of scouts is coming towards our department," Qin Erbao was dusty and dusty, and his armor was with him, but compared to four months ago, his eyes had changed from simple ruthlessness to perseverance.
Since the blade Emperor Taiji, Qin Erbao is in his hometown of Jiaodong, which is the entire Ming Dynasty, and he is already a household name, although Wang Qi's light is dazzling, but as long as the story of Huang Taiji's death in Horqin is mentioned, Qin Erbao's night attack on Jiannu Sibeile has to be mentioned!
Especially the sentence after Qin Erbao received the Blade Emperor Taiji: But that's it.
It also makes Qin Erbao's image in the folk comparable to Cheng Zhijie.
"Then the king of Horqin has some vision," beside Wang Qi, Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile: "Since being the Marquis of Dingyuan into the grassland for a while, the grassland tribes that were originally ready to move have completely fallen to my Ming Dynasty. ”
"Yue Shan has no other choice, when Huang Taiji died in Horqin, the name was already printed on Horqin's face, it is impossible for Nurhachi of Houjin to forgive Horqin, and the Chahar tribe led by Lin Dan Khan is in contact with me openly and covertly, wanting to jointly fight against Houjin. Does he have any other options? Wang Qi retracted his gaze, looked at Lu Xiangsheng, and said with a smile: "Vision? For the steppe tribes, this is helpless! ”
After listening to Wang Qi's words, Lu Xiangsheng, Qin Erbao, and Lu Enguang all glanced at each other: Wang Qi naturally has this qualification to speak, but others do not have this qualification.
At this moment, a grassland scout with the Horqin Grassland Order Flag hanging in the distance came from afar.
After a while, the scout knelt in front of Wang Qi: "Your Excellency the Honorable General of the Ming Dynasty, I, Yueshan, Battle, and others welcome your arrival, and the prince of Battle, has sent me to pick up your distinguished guests!" The guard of honor to greet you has arrived three miles away, and Prince Battle and Princess Hailanzhu will personally come to wish the god of the grassland to protect you,"
With that, the scout put his hands on the occasion and presented Battle's letter of contact.
Qin Erbao stepped forward to take the letter, opened it directly, checked it and handed it to Wang Qi after checking that it was correct.
The moment his eyes fell on the letter, Wang Qi's brows furrowed, and he knew the handwriting of the letter writer, Hai Lanzhu, who also came.
The letter's Batel dictated, Hai Lanzhu personally wrote, and the general content was also very simple: the Houjin army invaded the Liaodong region, and after Horqin knew about it, he specially sent Batel to lead 5,000 elite men and horses south, wanting to cooperate with the Ming court and attack the Houjin army, but after detecting Wang Qi's men and horses, he first garrisoned the grassland area in the upper reaches of the Daling River, wanting to talk to Wang Qi in the long run.
At the end of the letter, it was Hai Lan Zhu Juanxiu's signature: Nu Hai Lan Zhu, presented.
"Your prince is already here?" Wang Qi put away the letter and looked at the Korqin scout who had already gotten up.
"It's just three miles away, please take a break!" The scout looked down and replied.
Wang Qi nodded, turned around and ordered: "Order, camp in Horqin camp tonight." ”
"The last general will obey!"
Not long after, on the bank of the Daling River, at the silver long snake, a team of honor guards appeared, waving flags and flying frames, coming towards the Ming army.
In the distance, Battle took the lead, leading the guards behind him.
By recent times, Battle had dismounted.
"On behalf of the Horqin royal tribe and the herdsmen of the grassland, Batel welcomes the arrival of the chief soldier, and wishes that the god of the grassland will protect you," Battle, dressed in a blue military uniform and with a gray beard, had an unusually respectful expression on his face.
Yue Shan asked Battle to come to support the Ming court, and Wang Qi was also involved.
In addition to Hai Lanzhu, Battle is actually Wang Qi's high-level liaison in the Horqin Royal Court.
After all, when Quang Ninh City was in the city, it was Batel who led the team to go.
"Lord Battle, I haven't seen you for a long time, you have to run hard this time," Wang Qi turned over and dismounted, helping Battle up.
"The chief soldier is serious, the brotherhood between Daming and Horqin, there is no need to say more, the old man believes that if the situation is reversed, I believe that Daming will also lend a helping hand." Battle had a respectful smile on his face.
"That's right," Wang Qi patted Battle on the shoulder, and then said: "The situation in Liaodong is not optimistic this time, we need to discuss countermeasures as soon as possible, go to your temporary camp first"
After that, Wang Qi was about to turn over and get on the horse.
"Your Excellency!" Battle opened his mouth to stop Wang Qi, with a slight subtle expression on his face: "Wang Ting has prepared an eight-horse carriage frame for you, please get on the carriage."
Wang Qi raised his eyes and looked at the comfortable frame not far away, just from the outside, it was extremely luxurious, exquisite, like a small mobile bedroom.
And the little girl named Qingluo was standing quietly next to the frame, waiting for the arrival of the owner.
"Someone is waiting for you up there," Battle added.
Liaodong was in a hurry, and Wang Qi didn't have the heart to see Hai Lanzhu: "Tell her to wait." ”
Seeing that Wang Qi didn't have any ideas, Battle didn't insist, and bowed down and said, "Then go back to the camp with the adults first!" ”
With that, Battle stood up and waved at the guard.
Then the little girl seemed to understand the meaning, turned over and returned to the frame, and replied to the message to the woman inside.
About half an hour later, the Ming army led by Wang Qi arrived at the temporary camp in Horqin, which is close to the north bank of the upper reaches of the Daling River, where the pastures are abundant and the mountains are gently undulating, which is an excellent place for sheep herders to set up camp.
Knock knock knock!!
As soon as Wang Qi entered the camp, the drum of the generals sounded in the main camp, and Wang Qi obviously wanted to immediately convene a military council to discuss the matter of the alliance between the Ming Dynasty and Horqin.
This time, Houjin is menacing, and everyone understands the truth of cold lips and teeth.
Daming and Horqin must unite to fight against Jin.
"More than 2,000 miles east of the royal court, is my Liaodong Shenyang City," Wang Qi faced the main general in the tent, walked on the side of the map, and stretched out his finger to point to the distance between the royal court of the Horqin Left Banner and the Shenyang City of the Ming Dynasty: "The cavalry will attack for two days and one night, and you can arrive!" ”
The generals in the tent looked at this extremely young but well-known chief military officer of the Ming Dynasty, waiting for the next words.
"I hope that the Horqin royal court will invade Houjin Shenyang City in the east, so as to contain the soldiers and horses left behind in Shenyang and Liaoyang City, and at the same time make it difficult for the old slave to take care of his head and tail, so that I can take the opportunity to attack and cut off his back road!"
"My lord, although the old slave is out, but there must be people left in Shenyang City in Houjin, although I Horqin is not afraid of its Eight Banners," a second-class general of Horqin said with doubts: "If you invade, I am afraid that you will fall into its trap." ”
"What is a rash invasion?" Wang Qi frowned, and said a little speechlessly: "For the grassland cavalry, isn't this a thousand-mile surprise attack?"
At the beginning, Hou Huo, the champion of the strong man, went to the Hun court for thousands of miles to attack the Xiongnu royal court, and sealed the wolf in Xu Mountain.
More than a thousand years have passed, and the grassland people still haven't learned?
