A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television

The Khalkha tribe occupies a large area in the northern Mongolia, and is also a very powerful force.

Khalkha is also composed of some large and small tribes, among which the five largest tribes jointly rule the entire Khalkha tribe. Zaisai is the leader of the largest tribe among the five tribes.

When Lu Cheng arrived at the Khalkha tribe and expressed his intention to one of the tribal leaders, the tribal leader immediately sent someone to notify the leaders of the five tribes.

Afterwards, the leaders of the five tribes met Lu Cheng together. Among them, the leader of the Zaisai tribe was temporarily served by Zaisai's younger brother.

After hearing that Lu Cheng might be able to rescue Zaisai, the leaders of the five tribes immediately reached a consensus and gave Lu Cheng 100 war horses and 300 cattle and sheep on the spot.

And said that if Lu Cheng could help the Khalkha tribe rescue Zaisai, the Khalkha tribe would be willing to give Lu Cheng another 1,000 war horses and 3,000 cattle and sheep, and make a covenant of mutual assistance with Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng was a little surprised at the generosity and unity of the other party, and even lamented that he underestimated Zaisai's prestige in the Khalkha tribe.

In fact, what Lu Cheng didn't know was that in the original history, the five Khalkha tribes finally paid tens of thousands of livestock to redeem Zaisai from Nurhaci.

Afterwards, Lu Cheng took out the remaining glass, soap and other supplies and gave them to the five Khalkha tribes as gifts.

At the same time, Lu Cheng also promised that after returning to Liaodong, he would immediately take his most elite men to rescue Zaisai.

Upon hearing this, Zaisai's younger brother said on the spot that he would send 500 of the most brave and combative cavalrymen, waiting for Lu Cheng's dispatch to help them rescue the leader.

Afterwards, other tribes were also willing to send troops to help.

Based on the principle of not using soldiers, Lu Cheng happily selected 1,000 cavalrymen from the Khalkha tribe to follow him back to Liaodong to carry out the "rescue Zaisai" activity.

Afterwards, Lu Cheng did not bother to go to other grassland tribes to form alliances, and directly returned to Liaodong with 1,000 cavalrymen from the Khalkha tribe.

When Lu Cheng returned to Haizhouwei, the 1,000 horses traded with Lin Danhan had basically all been transported back, and Ding Xiu, the new Qianhu of the cavalry unit, was busy organizing training.

After working with Lu Cheng for so long, Ding Xiu had captured many heads, and was promoted to Qianhu by virtue of his merits, and he was already a formal military officer.

In contrast, Ding Xian was not in the open because he served as the captain of the special operations team, and he did not join the Ming army.

After Lu Cheng came back, he temporarily handed over the 1,000 Khalkha cavalrymen to the logistics department, asking them to arrange the cavalrymen's food, living and horses' fodder.

Lu Cheng also specifically told the logistics old horse to treat these foreign cavalrymen well. If possible, it would be best to attract them to stay and join Haizhou Guard in the future, or to be mercenaries for Lu Cheng.

If you want to raise a cavalry team, you can train the riding and archery skills in one or two days.

If these grassland cavalrymen who have lived on horseback since childhood can join, the strength of Lu Cheng's cavalrymen can definitely be quickly strengthened.

Anyway, Lu Cheng has money and supplies, and hiring some soldiers and horses to fight together when necessary is also a good way.

After arranging everything, Lu Cheng immediately summoned Ding Xian and began to formulate an action plan to rescue Zaisai.

Since he has accepted other people's things, Lu Cheng will not do nothing. What's more, it should not be difficult to rescue Zaisai, and he can also get a very generous reward.

The reward is not only the cattle, sheep and horses promised by the Khalkha tribes, but also an ally, a long-term horse supplier.

Just when Lu Cheng made an action plan and was ready to act, Xiong Tingbi sent someone to recruit him again.

As for the purpose of this time, he naturally asked Lu Cheng how he got so many war horses.

More than 1,000 war horses were transported to Haizhouwei, and Haizhouwei naturally had to open up a horse farm for breeding. Such a big thing could not be hidden from Xiong Tingbi, the top leader of Liaodong.

Each of the other generals in Liaodong had at most two or three hundred cavalrymen under his command. Lu Cheng, a commander, actually got so many war horses, how could it not attract attention?

If Liaodong was not in internal and external troubles, Lu Cheng's behavior would be very dangerous.

Other division commanders and army commanders only raise a cavalry battalion, but you, a brigade commander, have a cavalry regiment. What's going on?

Some generals are even suspicious that the general is

Did your lord give all the food and salary allocated by the court to Lu Cheng?

"Commander Lu, you have made a lot of money recently? You can afford to raise so many war horses."

Facing Xiong Tingbi's inquiry, Lu Cheng also smiled: "Master Jinglue, I can't make a fortune. I just reached an agreement with the Mongolian tribes on the grassland. I will help them rescue the Zasai leader of the Khalkha tribe. They Just sell me some war horses at a low price."

"Oh? Are you sure about this?"

"Of course, the general will never fight an uncertain battle."

"Lu Cheng, you may not know yet, but I have just received information from Hou Jin. After defeating Li's North Korea, Nurhachi harvested a lot of food and supplies. He forced Li's North Korea to surrender to them and pay tribute. Provide them with food.

Recently, Nurhaci learned that our Ming Dynasty was changing its throne, and was preparing to take this opportunity to raise troops to invade again. If my prediction is correct, Nurhachi will march into Shenyang this time. With Shenyang's current military strength, it may be difficult to defend it. At that time, troops from other places will need to be mobilized to rescue Shenyang. Your Haizhou Guard also needs to send troops to help. "

Lu Cheng was not surprised but overjoyed when he heard this: "Master Jinglue, if this is the case, the general will have to go to Hetuala. If Nurhachi really raises his troops to invade, the defense of Hetuala City will definitely be empty.

When the time comes, General Mo will lead his troops to wreak havoc. Nurhaci will retreat immediately. Whether he wants to attack Liaoyang or Shenyang, he will end up in vain. "

"Surrounding Wei to rescue Zhao? This strategy is feasible. However, this must be kept secret and the news cannot be spread."

Lu Cheng nodded. No need for Xiong Tingbi to say more, Lu Cheng would naturally keep the secret.

Afterwards, Lu Cheng returned to the Haizhou Guard, suspended the operation, and allowed the special forces members to continue training. He also calmed the cavalry in Khalkha and let them wait for the opportunity.

More than half a month later, news came again from the capital that Mingguangzong Zhu Changluo, who had just ascended the throne for more than a month, passed away. Prince Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne and changed his reign name to Taichang.

In just two months, the Ming Dynasty experienced two successions of thrones. This also made Hou Jin, who had suffered a loss in Liaodong before, very excited. He immediately gathered troops and prepared to attack Liaodong again.

Of course, Nurhaci will not attack Haizhou Guard easily this time. He plans to capture Shenyang first, then Liaoyang, and then march west to capture Yizhou Guard and Guangning Guard, thereby cutting off the connection between Haizhou Guard and Daming Pass. , turning Haizhouwei into an isolated city.

At that time, the entire southern Liaoning will be isolated and will naturally defeat itself.

After formulating such a marching strategy, Nurhaci again led an army of 60,000 troops from north to south and marched into Shenyang.

Lu Cheng sent a large number of scouts to keep an eye on the movements of Hou Jin's army. When Hou Jin's army marched near Tieling, Haizhou Guard's troops also began to take action.

Among all the infantry, four thousand households stayed in Haizhou to guard the city, and one thousand households took some explosive packs and sent them to support Xiong Tingbi. Among the one thousand cavalry, 300 veterans and 500 recruits also stayed behind to ensure that Haizhou was safe.

Among the one hundred special operations team members, in addition to the ten sent to the pass, ten special operations veterans were left behind to lead forty special operations recruits to guard the city to deal with emergencies.

Lu Cheng himself, along with Ding Xian and forty special operations team members, were responsible for executing this rescue mission and destroying the strategic goal of Hetuala City.

Ding Xiu led 200 cavalry and 1,000 Khalkha cavalry, a total of 1,200 light cavalry. They were responsible for going deep into Houjin, connecting with Lu Cheng, and responsible for harassing the Houjin tribe and causing chaos.

After formulating a complete plan, Lu Cheng immediately led the team and headed straight to Hetuala City...
