Han ride

Chapter 139 I'm Soy Sauce
The vast grassland stretches as far as the eye can see. From time to time, wild horses run on the grassland, causing waves of vibrations, and the cattle and sheep who are grazing are running away one after another.

Suddenly, these grazing cattle and sheep raised their heads one after another, looked into the distance, then neighed, spread their hooves, and ran far away, as if some ferocious monster was coming from afar.

After half a sound, there was a burst of smoke and dust going straight up to the sky in the distance, and the ground shook, and thousands of troops and horses roared towards them.Under the banner of a golden wolf, Lin Dan Khan, under the protection of many generals, came to kill Perak Villa.

"How far is this place from Perak Mountain Villa?" Lin Danhan pointed to the distance and said loudly.

"Back to Dahan, there is still a hundred miles away, and that is Perak Mountain Villa." General Yelich said loudly.

"Khan, the general thinks that at this time, we should not only pay attention to the Thunderbolt Villa, but also pay attention to the movement of the Ming army." On Lin Danhan's right is a middle-aged military general. On the scabbard, there are several gemstones shining with light, but they are Khalkha Chotutaiji, also known as Tushetuhan.He is a loyal supporter of Lin Dan Khan. After receiving Lin Dan Khan's order, he took his army and tens of thousands of troops to Guihua City without thinking about it, and joined forces with Lin Dan Khan to prepare for the eastward retake. A place that belongs to Lin Dan Khan.

"Although the Central Plains people are cowardly, they are very cunning." Lin Danhan nodded and said, "This time we will only take Perak Mountain Villa, and then sweep across it, and go straight east, and just don't meet the Central Plains people." Lin Danhan Said without thinking.

"Great Khan, if this is the case, I don't think it is possible to march again at this time, otherwise, it will be noticed by the Perak Villa." Khan thought for a moment, and quickly suggested: "Khan can only march at this time. Turn the attention of Perak Mountain Villa from the Ming army to you. Even before the Ming army arrives, we will start a war with our army."

"Quetu Khan, the Great Khan has an army of [-], are you afraid that a Perak Villa will fail?" Yelich said disdainfully.

"Of course not. Khan is the master of the grassland. Have you ever seen the reason why eagles are afraid of hares? It's just that there are tens of thousands of wolf under his command. If we persecute too hard, he will fight with you first." Let's go to war. In this way, even if we win, we have lost a lot of troops. You must know that the enemy of the Great Khan is not the Perak Villa, but the Manchus and Li Xin in the distance, as well as the Han people in the Central Plains. The enemy of the Great Khan, if the Great Khan wants to move eastward, he will encounter these people sooner or later, so the Great Khan must preserve the strongest advantage when dealing with these people. It is naturally good if he can not lose his troops. There is a saying in "A trapped beast will still fight. If you push too fast, it will be bad for our army."

"That's right." Yelich was about to speak, but Lin Danhan waved his hand and said, "We can't attack now, and the war will be launched in advance. We can only divert the eyes of the wolf to us. The opponent's 2 People and horses can also cause us no less than 1 losses. My sons are far more valuable than these horse bandits. I need them to fight for me on the grasslands, defeat the Manchus, and sweep the Central Plains in the future. Let the Central Plains people solve it."

"The Great Khan is wise." Chotu Khan said hastily.

"Not only that, but I also want to make the evil wolf more at ease." Lin Danhan also said to Quetu Khan: "I don't know if Ci Khan has the courage to go to Perak Mountain Villa. Meet this evil wolf with me and tell him , we are just going east from here, and we have no intention of going to war with him."

"Confused him?" Chotu Khan immediately understood Lin Danhan's plan.

"That's right, I just want to reassure him and let him boldly attack the Ming army." Lin Danhan smiled all over his face and said to the left and right: "The 6 horse infantry troops who came from the Ming army this time are all elites from Xuanfu, but even though they are The elite, but they go deep into the grasslands, and the turnover of food and grass is not good. Even with the support of the eight aristocratic families, the daily consumption is a huge number. Such an army enters the Central Plains, and there are as many as 10,000+ civilians who need to be mobilized. The amount of food and grass sent out was huge. Therefore, when the Ming army entered the grassland, it could only be cavalry to obtain food and grass on the spot, or a quick battle. The 6 horse infantry army may launch an attack the next day after they arrive. That is to say, an attack will be launched on the place where Perak Villa is located tomorrow."

"Since Da Khan has an order, this subordinate will go to see him." Quetu Khan said without thinking.

"Okay, pass on the order, we will camp here today." Lin Danhan nodded and said to Yelich beside him.Na Yelic didn't dare to be negligent, and cast a vicious glance at Quetu Khan, and ordered Dazhu not to mention the order.

"Master, Lin Dan Khan's army is already a hundred miles away from here." In the big tent, Shi Yuanzhi chose a flat ground on the huge sand table in front of him, planted a black flag, and pointed to a huge basin in the middle. : "My lord, look, if Lin Danhan fights out from here, he will be able to kill me in Perak Villa in just three hours."

"Where is Hou Shilu?" Li Xin asked gently from the side.

"Fifty miles away from here." Yang Xiong explained on the side, pointing the scabbard in his hand to the valley in the south.

"Hou Shilu has [-] soldiers, and the horse infantry marches together. I'm afraid he consumes a lot of food and grass every day!" Li Xin scanned the distance, and the place was not marked, but it was Zhangjiakou.

"That's right. These days, my Perak Villa retreats fifty miles to the rear every day, which means that the supply of food and grass for the Ming army must be extended by fifty miles." Shi Yuanzhi nodded, shook his head and said, "If it wasn't for Lin Dan Khan's army to come , even if our army retreats like this, it can still drag the Ming army to death."

"If we don't retreat, how can we get close to Guihua City?" Li Xin shook his head and said: "The Ming army must fight quickly, otherwise, the food and grass hoarded in Zhangjiakou may not take much time. No matter how powerful the Eight Great Aristocratic Families are, It can't last much longer."

"That's right." Yang Xiong nodded and said: "The news from the spies said that there are hundreds of carts of food and grass from Zhangjiakou to the Ming army camp every day, and I don't know how many civilians have been mobilized. These eight families are really rich." Yang Xiong's words were full of jealousy.He was also from a poor family, so he naturally had a bad impression of the eight great families.

"General Yang, don't worry, this family will belong to the lord soon. When the time comes, my lord will give you a mansion from the eight great families." Shi Yuanzhi laughed loudly.

"Well, now that the Eight Great Aristocratic Families have made a move, neither the Ming Army nor Lin Danhan is far away from us, so it's time for us to take action." Li Xin waved his hand and said, "Hey, I really didn't expect that. , let me meet Lin Danhan so early."

"The lord should be happy." Shi Yuanzhi said proudly: "If the lord didn't have the arrival of Lin Danhan, if the lord wanted to unify the grassland, he would have to fight Lin Danhan for a long time, but now it is different. As long as the lord defeats Lin Danhan , It’s only a matter of time before the prairie is pacified. Hey, thanks to Hou Shilu, if he didn’t add [-] horse infantry to the lord out of thin air, I really don’t know when we can defeat Lin Danhan!”

"The most important thing this time is to lure the Ming army and Lin Dan Khan to fight. As long as they start a war, it is our chance." Li Xin thought for a while and said: "After nightfall, Yuanzhi led 3 troops to leave the army and march along the Great Wall. Go west and enter Guihua City. Lin Danhan goes east. Although there are some people in Guihua City, they are not Yuan Zhi's opponent. Jiang Yi, go with Yuan Zhi."

"Your subordinate obeys orders." Jiang Yi said without thinking.

"The remaining 3 people, Jutu, you, Shen Fei, and Qin Han will lead an army of [-] people, with Mongolia as the main force, to launch an attack on the Ming army camp. Remember, you must fight harder." Li Xin added commanded.

"My lord, don't worry, the subordinates are worried that they will beat him hard and scare away that Hou Shilu." Ju Tu laughed loudly.

"Yang Xiong and I led the army to attack Lin Danhan." Li Xin thought for a while, then sneered, "We don't ask them to fight immediately, but as long as both sides are on guard against each other, then Jiang Yi only needs to capture Guihua City , I can let Hou Shilu unite with me to attack Lin Danhan." There is nothing magical about Li Xin's method, but even if the two sides know Li Xin's calculations, there is no way. The Han people and the grassland people are life and death. As long as Li Xin leaves the battlefield, Hou Shilu's mission will not be completed, and he can only return to Zhangjiakou in despair. How can the court let him go back to Xuanfu after wasting so much food and grass without any military achievements? such an opportunity.So he can only join forces with Li Xin to defeat Lin Danhan, which is a great achievement.It is enough for Hou Shilu to offset the evil results of these offensive expeditions.

"My lord, there is a person outside who claims to be the envoy sent by Lin Dan Khan, so I saw the lord." At this time, a soldier outside said.

"Yuanzhi, what do you think Lin Danhan sent an envoy to at this time?".Li Xin's eyes lit up when he heard the words, he turned and said to Shi Yuanzhi.

"This is to reassure my lord, so that my lord can concentrate on fighting against the Ming army. He can safely and boldly attack our army's rear." Shi Yuan said without thinking: "My lord, it seems that there is a relationship between them. It’s a good thing to have conflicts!”

"If they are united, that would be my sorrow." Li Xin nodded and said, "In that case, let him come in. I want to see what Lin Danhan wants to say. This guy, no Maybe he wants to tell me that Lin Danhan's [-] troops came here to herd horses, so he passed by here and borrowed a way from me!" The generals couldn't help laughing out loud.
