Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Chapter 117 Wang Ting comes to report
  The scenery on the grassland has always been the same. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. As far as the eye can see, the blue sky is connected to the horizon, and the sky and the earth merge into one piece.

Wang Qi stopped his horse and looked at the pastures and cattle and sheep in the distance.

In three days, when Songshan Fort was surrounded layer by layer by the army of Hou Jin and the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty fought bloody battles. When all the attention of Hou Jin was attracted by the Ming army in Songshan Fort, Wang Qi led only more than 3,000 men under his command to bypass it. The Nuer River passes through the upper reaches of the Xiaoling River and enters the vast grassland.

After entering the grassland, I speeded up my steps and crossed the upper reaches of the Daling River in less than a day.

The current location of the army is the southern boundary between the Horqin tribe and the Chahar tribe.

"Sir, Battle's troops have arrived more than fifty miles north of our headquarters, and a group of scouts are coming towards our headquarters." Qin Erbao was dusty and had his armor with him, but his eyes were different from those four months ago. It has changed from simply ruthless to perseverance.

Since being killed by Huang Taiji, Qin Erbao has become a household name in his hometown of Jiaodong and throughout the Ming Dynasty. Although Wang Qi is dazzling, as long as the story of Huang Taiji's death and Horqin's death is mentioned, one has to Mentioning Qin Erbao's night attack on Jianu Sibeile!
  Especially the sentence that Qin Erbao said after receiving Huang Taiji's sword: It's nothing more than that.

This makes Qin Erbao's image among the people comparable to that of Cheng Zhijie.

"The political king of Horqin does have some foresight and planning," Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile beside Wang Qi: "Since being sent to the grassland by Dingyuan Marquis, the grassland tribes that were originally ready to make a move have completely turned to our Ming Dynasty."

"Yue Shan has no other choice. When Huang Taiji died of Horqin, the certificate of surrender was already printed on Horqin's face. It was impossible for Nurhachi of the Later Jin Dynasty to forgive Horqin, and the Chahar tribe led by Lin Dan Khan also He is contacting me overtly and secretly, and wants to join forces to fight against Hou Jin. Does he have any other choice?" Wang Qi withdrew his gaze, looked at Lu Xiangsheng, and said with a smile: "Planning with vision? For the grassland tribes, this is helpless!"

After hearing Wang Qi's words, Lu Xiangsheng, Qin Erbao, and Lu Enguang all looked at each other: Wang Qi is naturally qualified to speak, but others are not.

At this moment, a prairie scout with the Horqin Prairie Order Flag hanging in the distance came riding a horse from afar.

Not long after, the scout knelt in front of Wang Qi and said: "Dear Lord General of the Ming Dynasty, I, Horqin Councilor Wang Yueshan, Battelle and others welcome your arrival. Prince Battelle specially sent us to receive all distinguished guests! The guard of honor to welcome you has arrived. Three miles away, Prince Bater and Princess Hailanzhu will come in person to wish the God of the Grasslands to protect you,"

After saying this, the scout raised his hands and presented Battle's contact letter.

Qin Erbao stepped forward to take the letter, opened it directly, checked it was correct, and then handed it to Wang Qi.

The moment his eyes fell on the letter, Wang Qi frowned. He recognized the handwriting of the letter writer - Hai Lanzhu was also here.

The letter was dictated by Battelle and written by Hai Lanzhu himself. The general content is also very simple: The army of the Hou Jin Dynasty invaded the Liaodong region. After Horqin found out about it, he specially sent Battelle to lead five thousand elite troops south, hoping to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty and attack the Hou Jin Dynasty. The army, but after detecting Wang Qi's men, they first stationed troops in the grassland area of ​​​​the upper reaches of the Daling River, hoping to have a meeting with Wang Qi and make long-term plans.

At the end of the letter, there is Hailanzhu Juanxiu’s signature: Nu Hailanzhu, here goes.

"Your prince is already here?" Wang Qi put away the letter and looked at Scout Horqin who had already stood up.

"It's just three miles away. Sir, please take a break!" the scout lowered his head and replied.

Wang Qi nodded, turned around and ordered: "Send the order to camp at Horqin Camp tonight."

"General, I will obey your orders!"

Not long after, on the banks of the Daling River, at the long silver snake, a group of honor guards appeared, with flags fluttering and carriages in clusters, heading towards the Ming army.

In the distance, Battle led the way, leading the guards behind him.

By recently, Battle had dismounted.

"Battle, on behalf of the Horqin Royal Court tribe and the grassland herdsmen, would like to welcome the arrival of the Commander-in-Chief. I hope the god of the grassland will protect you," said Battle, wearing a blue military uniform and a gray beard, with an unusually respectful expression on his face.

Yue Shan asked Battelle to come to support Ming Ting, and Wang Qi was also involved among them.

In addition to Hailanzhu, Battelle is actually Wang Qi's high-level liaison in Horqin Palace. After all, it was Battelle who led the team to the horse market in Guangning City.

"Prince Barter, I haven't seen you for a long time. Please make a trip this time." Wang Qi got off his horse and helped Barter up.

"Your Majesty, Commander-in-Chief, you are serious. There is no need to elaborate on the brotherly relationship between Ming Dynasty and Horqin. I believe that if the situation were reversed, I believe that Ming Dynasty would also lend a helping hand." Battelle had a respectful smile on his face.

"That's exactly what you said." Wang Qi patted Battle on the shoulder and continued: "The situation in Liaodong is not optimistic this time. We need to discuss countermeasures as soon as possible. Let's go to your temporary camp first."

After saying this, Wang Qi got on his horse.

"Sir!" Battelle stopped Wang Qi with a subtle expression on his face: "The royal court has prepared an eight-horse carriage for you. Please get on the carriage."

Wang Qi raised his eyes and looked at the comfortable frame not far away. Just from the appearance, it was extremely luxurious and exquisite, like a small mobile bedroom.

And the little maid named Qingluo was standing quietly next to the carriage, waiting for her master's arrival.

"There's someone waiting for you up there," Battle added.

Things were urgent in Liaodong, so Wang Qi had no intention of meeting Hai Lanzhu: "Tell her to wait."

Seeing that Wang Qi had no idea, Battelle did not insist and bowed: "Then go back to camp with your Excellency first!"

After saying that, Battle stood up and waved to his guards.

Then the little maid Qingluo seemed to understand the meaning, turned over and returned to the carriage, and replied to the woman inside.

About half an hour later, the Ming army led by Wang Qi arrived at Horqin's temporary camp, which was close to the north bank of the upper reaches of the Daling River. The pastures here are lush and the mountains are gently undulating, making it an excellent place for shepherding and setting up camps.

Boom boom boom! ! !
  As soon as Wang Qi entered the camp, drums for gathering generals sounded in the main camp. Wang Qi obviously wanted to convene a military council immediately to discuss the alliance between Ming Dynasty and Horqin.

This time, Hou Jin is coming fiercely, and everyone understands the truth that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold.

Daming and Horqin must unite to fight against the Jin Dynasty.

"More than two thousand miles east of the Royal Court is our city of Shenyang in Liaodong." Wang Qi faced the general in the tent, walked to the edge of the map, and pointed at the distance between the Royal Court of Horqin Left Banner and Shenyang City in the Ming Dynasty: " It takes two days and one night of cavalry raids to arrive!”

The generals in the tent looked at this extremely young but well-reputed chief military officer of the Ming Dynasty, waiting for the next words.

"I hope that the troops from the Horqin Royal Court will invade Shenyang City of the Later Jin Dynasty from the east to contain the soldiers and horses left behind in Shenyang and Liaoyang City. At the same time, I will 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 retreat!"

"Sir, although the old slave is out, there must be some troops left in Shenyang City of the Later Jin Dynasty. Although I, Horqin, are not afraid of the Eight Banners," a second-class general in Horqin said with doubts: "If we invade rashly, I'm afraid we will be defeated." trap."

"What is a rash attack?" Wang Qi frowned and said somewhat speechlessly: "For the prairie cavalry, isn't this a thousand-mile attack?"

At that time, Hou Huo, the champion of the strong Han Dynasty, traveled thousands of miles to attack the royal court of the Xiongnu and sealed the wolf in Xu Mountain.

After more than a thousand years, have the prairie people still not learned it?
