Red Mansion Soldiers

Chapter 43 Shangdu, Strategy, Barhu

It has been two hours since Jia Hun came out of Yun Yu's handsome tent.

It's nothing serious, just checked the schoolwork, gave me a bunch of military books to go back to read, and then answered some things I didn't understand, and then drove myself away.

The entire upper capital has become a large barracks. After the Mongolian Khan was driven away, the upper capital city became lively again.

20 sergeants, immigrants along the way, merchants accompanying the army, military prostitutes following...

A subtle prosperity has formed on this grassland.

This is actually the border of Daqi, it is the bridgehead for Daqi to sweep the grassland, and it is also a transfer station for supplies.

I ate a little casually at the mutton shop opened by the garrison soldiers, and walked all the way back to the horse army garrison.

He took out his horse and started the daily maintenance.

From then on, the terms of the peace talks became very clear, and the Monan Royal Court was determined to meet Da Qi.

It has already experienced a big split, and the power of the royal court is not as good as before. If you sit back and watch Khalkha rebel and leave, let alone how to deal with the threats from the three surrounding parties, even your own people will think about whether they should stand on their own.

Khalkha, the royal court must defeat him, even if he suffers from the enemy.

In other words, the emperor has made Daqi's reputation outside so bad that he didn't even talk about it.

"Du Si, Yebu took it back." A messenger came outside to report.

"Very well, let them go to rest quickly, and leave one person to report to me." Jia Hun put down his horse, got up and walked out.

. . . . . .

After defeating Nuonuohe, Mandulu suddenly had the posture of the No. 1 general of the Khan court. Now, he has joined forces with the Horqin Department to force the Tuxietu Department to move north, and with the Chechen Department, Buryat Department and The Tuxietu department confronted each other.

To the west, the Yongxiebu and Asut tribes are confronting the Saiyinnuoyan tribe and the Zasaktu tribe in Mobei.

Therefore, the four major tribes confronting Mobei are not a concern for the time being. The first thing to solve is that the coalition forces of Chahar, Tumed, Ordos and some small tribes around them are the opponents of the Qi army in this battle.

"So, the enemy has about 15 people?" Jia Hun flipped through the information that was not received at night.

"Back to the general, Bilig Khan has gone ruthless this time, recruiting nearly a million troops in Monan. You also know that this group of Mughals can make a good cavalryman if you give him a knife, so, 15 is still a relatively conservative number, if you add those old people who are not old enough, it may exceed 20, and even women in the tribe will join the battle when necessary, so there will be more!" Yebu Receive answer.

"Is it just the three Chahar departments?"

"There are about [-] troops facing Khalkha on the east and west sides of the three Chahar divisions."

Jia Hun touched his chin.

"Understood, let me delay you for a while, and go with me to the Commander." Jia Hun stood up.

"Don't delay, this is the duty of a humble job!"

. . . . . .

"Okay, I see, you go down and rest first!" Yun Yu said to Ye Bushou after reading the information.

"Yes." Ye Bushou turned around and left, and intimately helped close the door after going out.

"What do you think?" Yun Yu asked.

Jia Hun thought for a while.

"The west is too far away, and our army can't take care of it this time. Therefore, the main opponents this time are the Wangting coalition forces in the east and the Barhu and Horqin troops in the back."

"Well, continue." Yun Yu nodded, signaling Jia Hun to continue.

"The nomads are different from us in Daqi. Their army is relatively free. When necessary, anyone who can ride a horse and wield a knife can be regarded as a soldier.

But this is also one of their disadvantages. Since they are a patchwork army, they cannot match ours in terms of coordination. What's more, their tribes also have enmity with each other.

Rather than saying that they are Mughals, it is better to say that they are a large alliance of nomadic tribes composed of Chahar, Horqin or Barhu people. For them, the tribe is their belonging and their true root. .As for Khan Court, that's all.

The Khan Court is strong and can bring benefits to them. Naturally, they are closely surrounded by the Khan Court, the Mughals.But if Khan Ting is weak, then they are Ordos or Tumet people. "

Tsk, this kid has something.

Yun Yu took a sip of tea and continued to ask.

"Then what exactly are you going to do?"

"Let him come a few ways, I will only go all the way, gather all the horse troops, and chase after Chahar!"

"What about the rest of the tribes?"

"Now they are gathering together. As long as the 10,000+ soldiers are destroyed and the Khan Court is eliminated, the rest will be old and weak. You have to come and drive them away. After all, this Northern Expedition is mainly about weakening .

These tribes in the west should not be damaged too much. If Oirat is allowed to take advantage of the emptiness and go east, these tribes will surrender to the enemy because of too much loss, and instead make Oirat stronger, then this battle will be in vain. "

"The idea is fine, so what about Khalkha?"

"It's still the same sentence, the west is to resist the Oirats, as long as the tribes in the east are maimed."

Although the Western Regions and the plateau have been conquered, the Junggar tribe in the north is fighting fiercely with the Raksha people. According to the caravan from the west, Turghut has also been hit with real fire. The war has reached a fever pitch. After the end, no matter who the winner is, the eyes will be fixed on this piece of grassland of their ancestors again.

Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the Mughal tribes in the west still have the strength to protect themselves after being weakened, and become a buffer zone and isolation zone between the Oirat and Daqi spheres of influence.

If the tribes in the west are too weak and the winners invade the grassland, the weakened Monan tribes will definitely not be able to defeat them, and they may appear anywhere on the nine sides, which will double the defensive pressure on the north of Daqi.

In order to prevent the front line from being too long, and to limit future wars to the Western Regions, the tribes in the west must have certain strength.

"Why? Why do you value Oirat so much?" Yun Yu was puzzled.

"When I was in the Western Regions, I fought against them. They are very strong, at least stronger than the Timurids and Heshuots. It would be good if the Junggars won. After all, I already know their general strength, but If they lose, the winner will not be weaker than him."

The most important thing is the name Junggar. In the previous life, Junggar started at the end of Ming Dynasty and reached its peak in Yongzheng.

"Okay, since you have made a decision in your heart, let's arrange it!"

After Yun Yu finished speaking, she drove Jia Hun away.

The two purposes of this Northern Expedition, one is to complete the basic strategy, weaken the strength of Monan, and achieve a balance between Monan and Mobei.As long as this strategic goal is achieved, you can play freely.

Another purpose is to select talents for the country. With the decline of old commanders, Da Qi urgently needs a new generation of commanders. So far, it seems that Jia Hun has done a good job.

The rest of the armies were not so good. During the Western Conquest that ended last year, the border towns also exchanged their favorite talents in turn. Under the overall control of the commander, they can command local wars, but they are completely It is beyond their ability to complete a war completely independently. Fortunately, the Daqi Frontier Army receives full salary all the year round, the combat effectiveness is overwhelming, and there is not much loss.

It can be said that a major focus of this Northern Expedition is to cultivate Jia Hun's ability to command the army. With the tyrannical Qi army and Yun Yu behind him, Jia Hun only needs to do his best to command the battle.

In the next few days, Yunyu completely delegated power to Jia Hun, ranging from staff transfers and distribution of supplies to minor pawns fighting and eating king's meals. Jia Hun, tortured by a huge workload, felt pain and happiness.

. . . . . .

"Mandu Luhuntaiji, the will of the Great Khan!" Kexue, who was sent by Bilig Khan to pass the order, finally arrived at the headquarters of Balhu.

Although there were some twists and turns in the change of dynasty, Mandulu finally defeated Nuonuohe. The Taiji of the Balhu Department fulfilled their promises and assigned some tribes to Mandulu. Together with Mandulu's old department, they jointly formed the The new Balti headquarters.

"Chen Mandulu respectfully listen to the imperial decree of Bilig the Great Khan!" Mandulu took the lead and led the various Taiji generals in the tent to kneel to welcome the imperial decree of the Great Khan.

Seeing everyone kneeling down, Qi Xue quickly opened the imperial decree and read:
"In the power of longevity, in the protection of the Great Gospel, in the emperor's decree, in the Baalhu Huntai, Jimandulu and the officers, and in the soldiers.

The edict of the edict:
Emperor Genghis

Emperor Xue Chan
……

According to the imperial decree of Emperor Bilig, Lu Huntaiji of Mandu brought the officers and soldiers to Xilinhot within ten days.

My decree. "

After reading, Qixue respectfully handed over Bilig Khan's will to Mandulu who stood up.

"Dare to ask Hui Taiji, when are you going to leave?" Ke Xue asked with a bent waist.

Mandulu led two armies to defeat the three major coalition forces of Khalkha, and forced the three to flee to Yuerhai. Under the deliberate propaganda of Khan Ting, it has spread throughout Monan, and the troublemakers became Khan Ting The first Battelle, Kexue naturally worshiped Mandulu.

"Pack up your things and leave tomorrow. It's just that the old man has a question, and I hope Khan will answer it." Mandulu was a little puzzled. The situation was obviously in our favor. After ten days and a half months, the three major departments will It was almost time to surrender.

"The next official will know everything and say everything!"

"Hehe, Khan, don't be nervous. The old man has only one question. Why did the Great Khan transfer my Barhu tribe to the south? Is Horqin also going south? They are holding on for a while, and the Khalkha rebels are about to surrender?" Man said. Dulu asked the question in his heart.

"This..." Kexue also knew what Mandulu wanted to ask a long time ago, if he had received this order when the situation was very good, he would have asked the same question.

"Is there something unspeakable?"

"No, no, of course it can be said that this is the case. The Great Khan did not let Horqin go south. After all, you also know that, since that battle, Horqin has not slowed down.

Sai Yin Nuoyan's traitor, Tu Mengken, sent people to detour through the Daxianbei Mountains, and cross the Liao land to ask the Qi emperor to send troops!Da Khan was afraid you would be distracted, so he didn't tell you, and now they have arrived in Shangdu! " Qi Xue finished speaking quickly.

"What, the people of Qi have sent troops again!!" Mandulu was shocked, and the Khalkhas made a detour from the north with all precautions!

Scenes of deeply buried memories flooded Mandulu's mind.

Since he was born, Abu has been respectful to every Qi merchant who came to his tribe. At that time, he didn't understand why Abu, who was able to hunt fierce tigers and single-handedly challenge hungry wolves, was so humble. descendants, they should not be like this.

When I was ten years old, I heard from the clansmen that the Great Khan of Xishou had returned!Mandulu, who grew up listening to the stories of Emperor Genghis and Emperor Xue Chan, was very excited. He believed that the returning Khan would lead the tribes to glory again like the great Emperor Genghis, and let those The merchants of the Qi people who looked at people with disgusting nostrils lowered their heads.

But in the end, things backfired. Those who came to the tribe were no longer those merchants from the Qi people with their nostrils upturned and carrying all kinds of good things, but the army of the Qi people in iron armor with hideous faces!

He will never forget that day of despair.

At the age of 12, Abu once again went to meet the great Sarujian Khan, but this time it was different from usual. All the uncles and brothers in the tribe followed Abu. I only remember what Abu said over and over again Tell the ahas to take good care of the house, and when he comes back, the ahas also nod their heads with serious faces.

The heartless self also acted like a baby to his father, wanting Abu to bring him a new bow, but Abu agreed with a smile, but he smiled so reluctantly.

Nearly a month later, I, who was bored shooting rabbits, saw the nightmare scene that made me a lifetime.

A black curtain appeared on the hillside in the distance, like the waves of the Hulun River, shooting towards the home where I grew up for 12 years.

All of a sudden, it seemed that there was only that huge black wave left in my world, and my whole body froze there, and I felt what death was for the first time.

But a familiar figure crashed into the black waves with a gray-white long arrow.

"Run! Mandulu, take your Eji and run!"

It's Abu!
The embarrassed father came back with his uncles and brothers in the tribe, but the number was less than half of the number before departure!
I saw one uncle after another fall off the horse, one brother after another was pierced by a spear, and even Abu, who was as tall as a mountain, was knocked off his horse. The knight in black armor held a spear and nailed Abu to the ground.

Power poured back into the limbs.

I have never obeyed Abu's words so much, jumped on my little white horse, and ran madly towards the tribe. Ahha, who had heard the sound, had already summoned the uncles who stayed behind, and rushed towards the black wave. He frantically beat himself and several Ahha's ponies who were about the same age, and fled northward...

Since then, every once in a while, Qi people will organize people to attack their homeland, from the age of 12 to 40, time and time again...

"Huntaiji, Huntaiji?" Ke Xue looked at Mandulu who was stunned, and shouted anxiously.

"Ah, I remembered something, and Khan made me laugh."

Wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, he forced a smile.

"Is the Khan tired too? I still have some time to pack my bags, why don't you go down and have a rest?" Mandulu finished speaking and summoned a maid.

"Go down and take a rest with sweat, remember, be careful!"

The maid promised and left with Qixue.

The generals Taiji who had been waiting for a long time hurried over.

"Huntaiji, are you really going to support Hanting? Isn't Tumed and Ordos already there? Why do you want us to go? No more fighting in the north?" A group of people asked Mandu one by one. Lu.

"Okay, support must be supported. If the territory is lost, we will fight back later, but if the people are gone, everything will be over! When the Qi people come to attack, do you think we can stay out of it?
Could it be that everyone has forgotten what the people of Qi have done to us?Which one of your households did not die at the hands of Qi people?Do you think that only Chahar Sanbu can stop Qi people? "

The atmosphere in the big tent suddenly became heavy.

"Okay, we don't have to go anyway, Sultan, you lead your people to stay, and confront Khalkha with Horqin, and you, you, you too, stay together , I will take 4 people this time, and let Sultan take the remaining [-]."

Sultan quickly got up and agreed.

Although the Barhu tribe had just experienced a split, following the war, they annexed some small tribes. Overall, their strength even increased a lot compared to before the split, and the number of regular soldiers even reached [-].

1 people were kept at home, and 6 people were taken away by Mandulu to open a film with Khalkha.

As for the Horqin tribe, this group of descendants of Hesar Khan, as the main force of the Khan court in the battle, fought a real fire with the Qi army, dozens of bloody battles, and their strength was greatly damaged.

At present, it is a tribe between a medium-sized and a large-scale tribe. Its strength is far superior to that of a medium-sized tribe, but it cannot compare with a large tribe like the Barhu tribe. It can only gather [-] soldiers.This battle is only to assist Mandulu in the battle.

"Since we have decided to raise our troops to go south, let's go get ready." After speaking, he waved his hand to signal that it was time to leave, and the generals who were full of tents understood and immediately returned to their respective troops.

The next day, under the leadership of Huntai Jimandulu, the well-packed Barhu Department embarked on the journey again.
