The Most Powerful Man in the World

However, what Hu Limu could not have imagined was that Chu Yi was so bold that he even left the capital.

Hu Limu didn't even know that Chu Yi went to Jiangnan in person, and he had already quelled the rebellion of King Ning. At this moment, he came with the master of great victory and came from a long distance.

After all, in this era, news spreads very slowly. Even if there is a channel from the imperial court, the news will be delayed for three to five days even if it is thousands of miles away.

Not to mention that the channels for the Tatars to obtain information from the Central Plains are very narrow. At most, some Central Plains people who have joined the Tatars provide some information.

But there are very few high-ranking people among those who have taken refuge in the Tartars, and even the news that these people have received, it is not known how long it has been delayed.

It can be said that unless it is the court's propaganda, I am afraid that the Tatars will have to wait at least a month to know the news that King Ning's rebellion has been quelled.

In a month's time, when the Tartars knew about it, the aftermath of King Ning's rebellion might have been quelled.

Therefore, at this time, in the eyes of the Tartars, King Ning was actually helping them contain the imperial troops and horses, and they were not alone and helpless.

Besides, the Tatars did not regard Daming as a major enemy psychologically. There was a change in the Tumu fortress. When the Tatars faced Daming, at least psychologically, it was no longer than when Daming established the country for decades.

Regardless of whether it was Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang or Chengzu Zhu Di, it really left a great shadow on the descendants of Mengyuan, especially Chengzu Zhu Di, the five expeditions of Mobei, who really chased after Mengyuan's remnants.

But a hundred years have passed, and the Central Plains Dynasty has been fighting endlessly.

However, although Hu Limu knew the name of Chu Yi, he did not think that Chu Yi could do anything to them from the bottom of his heart.

No matter how big Chu Yi's name is, after all, he is not a eunuch.

What power can a powerful eunuch have? The most powerful eunuch in the Tatars' memory is Wang Zhen who instigated Yingzong's personal expedition and led to the change of Tumu Fort.

Therefore, Hu Limu just thinks that Chu Yi is another power eunuch like Wang Zhen.

If the Ming Dynasty really sent a general who could conquer Taiyuan City to occupy Taiyuan City, he would really worry about whether the future of Barsborough's troops would be affected.

But now that he learned that it was Chu Yi, a powerful eunuch like Wang Zhen, who led the troops to occupy Taiyuan City, Hu Limu was not so worried.

Sun Qiu naturally didn't know about Hu Limu's psychological changes, but if he knew, he would probably laugh.

To compare Chu Yi with Wang Zhen is simply an insult to Chu Yi.

If Wang Zhen had one-third of Chu Yi's abilities, then there would be no change in the Tumu Fort.

Anyone who underestimated Chu Yi was now three feet tall.

Staring at Hu Limu, Sun Qiu said slowly, "Hu Limu, surrender!"

Hu Limu looked at the hundreds of subordinates left all over his body. These subordinates were wearing them one by one, with a look of tiredness on their faces.

After all, these subordinates were awakened in the middle of the night, and they fought desperately with him for a few hours, trying to find a way to survive.

Now it has fallen into the encirclement, and apart from surrendering, I am afraid that there is only one dead end.

Taking a deep breath, the machete in Hu Limu's hand fell to the ground with a bang, and Hu Limu said, "This general has descended!"

Unlike the Central Plains generals who regarded surrender as a great shame, Hu Limu was born in the grasslands, and he has done his best. Since he fell into the siege and could survive, of course he would choose to surrender.

Hu Limu chose to surrender, and Sun Qiu couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, but his face also showed a bit of joy.

The value of a living Hulimu is naturally much greater than that of a dead one.

With Hulimu's surrender, the Tatar soldiers behind him also dropped their weapons one by one, and the surrounding soldiers rushed up, tying up hundreds of Tatar soldiers in a blink of an eye.

There was a pile of corpses at the gate of the southern city, especially at the gate of the city, there was only a narrow area about ten feet wide, with corpses on both sides.

Before the Tatars went out of the city, so many people were shot and killed at the gate of the city, and many corpses would naturally have to be cleaned aside, otherwise, the corpses alone would have blocked the gate of the city.

At this moment, Sun Qiu's soldiers are cleaning the battlefield. After all, the Tartars have surrendered. There can't be a pile of corpses at the gate of the city.

Many war horses and the bodies of the soldiers on both sides overlapped, and the bloody soldiers, especially the bodies of many soldiers on both sides, were trampled by the war horses, and some of the corpses were trampled. At that time, many who were stimulated by the bloody scene couldn't help but vomit.

At this moment in Taiyuan City, it is rare that there is no chaos. After all, after the scourge of the Tatars and the Miao family, the Lu family and other families, the city is already full of turmoil, everyone is in danger, and many are hiding in At home, with a stick in his hand, ready to hit anyone who breaks into the home at any time.

Even those local hooligans who always take advantage of the chaos to do evil on weekdays are honestly hiding and daring not to show their faces at this time.

Because the Tartar soldiers in the city were gathered and taken away by Hulimu, there was no robbery in the city, which saved a lot of trouble.

When Xu Tianzuo led a group of troops into the city and found out that Hu Limu was leading a group of cavalry towards the south gate, he naturally rushed away.

However, when Xu Tianzuo arrived, he saw a group of Daming soldiers cleaning the battlefield at the city gate, and several familiar figures were in front of a group of war horses.

Seeing such a group of war horses, even Xu Tianzuo couldn't help his eyes light up. There were nearly a thousand war horses. Although some war horses were injured, most of those injuries were minor injuries. It was natural to be able to capture thousands of war horses at a time. Not a small gain.

Although Daming itself is not very short of war horses, after all, Daming implements the horse policy, although it is said that the horse policy has become a policy of harming the country and the people at this time, but the horse policy still plays a certain role, that is, Daming does not lack horses.

However, the horses raised by those horse households are a little less wild than the horses on the grasslands. These horses captured from the Tatars are natural war horses, and they can be used by themselves with a little familiarity.

Sun Qiu noticed the movements of Xu Tianzuo and his party, turned to look at Xu Tianzuo, and said with a smile on his face: "Commander Xu, the city was defeated in the first battle, congratulations, congratulations!"

Taking a look at Sun Qiu, Xu Tianzuo said, "Congratulations to Commander Sun as well. If you want to come to the leader of the Tatars, Hu Limu should fall into Commander Sun's hands."

Sun Qiu glanced at the edge of the distant city wall, where a group of Tartar soldiers were bound one by one, and with so many horses intact, even guessing could guess that the Tartars did not fight to the end. One person, the biggest possibility is that they choose to surrender when they are lost.

Sun Qiu smiled slightly and said, "Thanks to the commander Xu, Mr. Sun stayed on the sidelines and forced Hu Limu to surrender outside the South City Gate."

The sky gradually became brighter, and the sun was about to rise.

Taiyuan City has returned to calm, but when the Tartars who were guarding the other two city gates wanted to escape, it was too late, and in the end they could only choose to surrender.

As a result, Taiyuan City was breached this time, and the Ming side attacked and killed more than [-] Tatar soldiers, and captured more than [-] Tatar soldiers, including about [-] horses.

Of course, the most important thing is that Taiyuan Town, one of the important border towns, has finally returned to the hands of Daming, blocking the gap in the north, and also blocking the tens of thousands of Ballsborot who are attacking Beijing city. The retreat of the Tatar army.

Riding a horse, Chu Yi slowly entered Taiyuan City surrounded by a group of generals.

At the east gate of Taiyuan City, there are still some traces of the war. Although the corpses and blood at the gate of the city have been cleaned up, even the blood on the ground is covered with loess, but even if it is covered with loess, it is still It was hard to hide the bloody aura.

Xu Tianzuo, Sun Qiu and other generals had already made preparations at this moment. They saw Chu Yi entering Taiyuan City from a distance. The two walked side by side and rode forward.

One turned over and dismounted, and the two of them and the generals behind them bowed to Chu Yi: "The last general will welcome the chief general!"

Chu Yi looked at Xu Tianzuo, Sun Qiu and other generals, smiled slightly, turned over and got off the horse and took a few steps forward.

Having received such praise from Chu Yi, the faces of everyone couldn't help showing a bit of joy. After all, it was quite rare for Chu Yi to praise them like this.

At this moment, Chu Yi patted Xu Tianzuo and Sun Qiu on the shoulders and said with a light laugh, "This time, we have retaken Taiyuan City and successfully blocked the retreat of the Tartars, which is a great contribution. The Governor will report to the Son of Heaven and ask for credit for the generals."

Chu Yi has always been clear about rewards and punishments. Since Chu Yi said so, it means that their military exploits have been recognized by Chu Yi, and naturally there will be no problems with the emperor.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"I will wait and thank the Chief Executive!"

The generals dodged to get out of the way, and soon Chu Yi and his party arrived at the seat of the Yamen, the prefect of Taiyuan City.

The prefect's yamen has been cleaned up at the moment. It was originally occupied by the Tartars. After some repairs, it has restored a bit of its old appearance. It is also suitable as a resting place for Chu Yi.

In the government office, Chu Yi took his seat, and all the generals also took their seats.

Chu Yi's eyes fell on Xu Tianzuo and Sun Qiu. He picked up the tea beside him and took a slow sip of the tea before saying, "Tell me about the loss of this battle!"

Xu Tianzuo and Sun Qiu looked at each other and heard Xu Tianzuo say: "Master Hui, this time we will attack the city at the end of this time, killing more than a thousand Tatar soldiers in total, and killing and injuring hundreds of ourselves."

Sun Qiu took a deep breath and said: "The last general guarded three gates, but he stopped the Tartar leader Hu Limu who fled in a hurry. After a fierce battle, a total of nearly [-] Tatar soldiers were killed, and their own casualties... Self-inflicted casualties. As many as two thousand people!"

Just now, Xu Tianzuo said that he killed thousands of Tatars, and his own casualties were only a few hundred, and many generals showed excitement on their faces.

You must know that Xu Tianzuo and the others are the siege party. The casualties of the siege party have always been several times that of the defender. As a result, Xu Tianzuo broke through the city of Taiyuan, and his own casualties were not as many as those of the Tatars. This is naturally surprising. Surprised.

And Sun Qiu stopped Hu Limu from fleeing, and actually paid nearly [-] casualties. Compared with Xu Tianzuo's casualties, it was naturally shocking.

But as long as you calm down and think about it, everyone can accept the number of casualties among Sun Qiu's soldiers.

There is a saying that goes well, don't chase the poor robbers. In the face of the poor robbers who are fleeing for their lives, it is not very good to chase and kill them, let alone directly block the other party's escape route.

Think about the number of Tatar soldiers killed by Sun Qiu. The two sides are almost one to one. This is a great achievement.

Regardless of the number of casualties among Sun Qiu's men, none of the generals present, even Xu Tianzuo, can't guarantee that if he is in Sun Qiu's position, he can do better than Sun Qiu. There will be more casualties.

Chu Yi nodded slightly in appreciation and said, "Yes, it is true that Sun Qiu was able to stop the Tartars despite their desperate efforts. Sun Qiu's contribution to this battle was so perfect."

Hearing that Chu Yi admired Sun Qiu, Xu Tianzuo was not jealous. The reason why Sun Qiu was praised by Chu Yi was that Sun Qiu deserved it. It is natural to imagine how dangerous it would be for Sun Qiu to block the gate of the city in the face of the charge of the Tartar cavalry.

Even if the Tartars really broke through Sun Qiu's army, the Tartars would be more ruthless, and conversely, they might not be able to step on Sun Qiu's men.

Sun Qiu respectfully said: "General Manager, Hu Limu surrendered, and is now outside the hall. I don't know what to do at the end, and I also ask the Governor to make it clear."

Chu Yi pondered and said, "Bring Hu Limu!"

"Bring Hu Limu!"

Hu Limu, who was quickly tied up with five flowers, was brought over by two soldiers and entered the hall. Hu Limu's face was a bit rebellious.

Although it was said that he was defeated and surrendered, from the bottom of Hu Limu's heart, he actually looked down on the generals of the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, Hu Limu doesn't think that his defeat is because the Tartars are not as good as Daming, but his negligence and lack of men and horses. If he is given [-] iron cavalry, he will definitely be able to kill the city and even hit Daming hard. .

Entering the hall at this moment, Hu Limu glanced at the generals of Ming Dynasty in the hall, and finally fell on Chu Yi who was in the center.

When he saw Chu Yi, Hu Limu couldn't help showing a bit of astonishment in his eyes. It really was that Chu Yi was too young.

Chu Yi looked like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, especially when he was sitting there, his power was naturally revealed, so the moment he saw Chu Yi, Hu Limu could hardly believe that what he saw was a rumor. Among them, the powerful eunuch Chu Yi.

While Hu Limu looked at Chu Yi, Chu Yi also looked at Hu Limu.

There is nothing special about Hu Limu, he is just an ordinary leader of the Tatars, neither his strength nor anything else is enough to make Chu Yi look at him differently.

After just one glance, Chu Yi was no longer interested in Hu Limu.

On the contrary, Hu Limu stared at Chu Yi and said, "Are you that big robber Chu Yi?"

As a prisoner, he even called Chu Yi a robber as soon as he opened his mouth. It can be seen that in Hu Limu's heart, he did not consider himself a prisoner at all, or in his psychology, he did not think that he had lost.

But as soon as the words came out, Hu Limu felt a little regret in his heart.

Although he didn't think he had lost in his heart, he also knew that he had been reduced to a prisoner. If he really had the courage to look at death as if at home, he probably wouldn't have chosen to surrender when he was under siege.

But since the words have been exported, it is obviously impossible for Hu Limu to take it back, so he can only hold on.

"Bold, dare to be rude to the chief executive!"

In an instant, a cold snort came, followed by severe pain in Hu Limu's legs and knees, the whole person involuntarily fell to the ground, the severe pain made Hu Limu almost fainted, but was framed by two soldiers Can't even fall to the ground.

Broken knee!

As soon as Qi Hu made his move, he smashed Hu Limu's knees in the air and abolished Hu Limu's legs, which could be regarded as punishment for Hu Limu's rude behavior.

Chu Yi's expression did not change, but he looked at Hu Limu indifferently and said, "You are Hu Limu who was left in Taiyuan City by Ballsborough, right? The Governor seems to be dissatisfied with you?"

Hu Limu gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain and said, "I don't agree. If we have the ability to fight one-on-one on the battlefield, who am I afraid of Tartar cavalry?"

Shaking his head slightly, Chu Yi said with a calm expression: "Just a reckless Fuer, chop off his head and send it to Ballsborough!"
