At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

That night, Jing Yuan and Yu Qian held their rice bowls and chopsticks and gesticulated on the map.

"Could it be that they all fled when they learned that my soldiers are coming tomorrow?"

Yu Qian murmured: "All the elites of the Tatars, Japanese, and Jurchens are dispatched. It doesn't seem like they are escaping. They must have other plans!"

Jing Yuan chuckled lightly and said: "Fuck the elites, there are only 2000 people in the sky, how can they come to secretly attack Chen Cang and counterattack Lao Tzu's Mo Beiwei?"

Yu Qian didn't speak, his brows were tightly frowned, and he was thinking rapidly in his heart.

Ever since Daming killed Oala, drove away the Tatars, and transferred Duoyan Sanwei to the Onan River area, it was as if the north gate had been closed, so that people outside could not come in, and people inside could not get out.

Of course, for Daming, it's not that he can't go out, but that he doesn't want to go out.

It's like a rich man who lives in a beautiful mansion, has wine, meat, and hot pits, why should he bother with beggars who are starving and freezing outside?

What's more, these beggars are world enemies with themselves. They used to fight each other with swords and soldiers, causing countless deaths and injuries.

So much so that in the past five years, Daming hadn't checked the whereabouts of the beggars outside the door at all, and he didn't even send spies.

Anyway, if you dare to come, I will beat you. If you don't come, you can die wherever you want. As long as you don't die at my door, I won't bother to care!

Unexpectedly, the Tatars have not given up in the past five years, but are carefully planning.

They contacted the Jurchens who were also expelled, the defeated Japanese daimyo, and the barbarians of the Yasha Kingdom in the bitter cold land, a group of mobs got together, and even played the art of war!

At this time, Jing Yuan suddenly asked: "It's strange to say, the Jurchens were clearly exterminated, how could they revive?"

In the battle five years ago, Jing Yuan was ordered to exterminate the Jurchens, but at that time, the total population of the Jianzhou Sanwei was less than [-], so he didn't pay attention to it at all.

Yu Qian said leisurely: "It is recorded in the "Da Ming Hui Dian" that in Jianzhou and the extreme east of Haixi Jurchen, they were wild Jurchens. They went far to the Central Plains, and tributes were not frequent. The Jurchens mentioned by Kameda just now should be wild Jurchens."

The Jurchens of the Ming Dynasty originated from the collateral branch of the Wanyan family in the Kingdom of Jin. They were originally distributed in the Nuer Gandu Division. There are three major factions in total, namely the Jianzhou Jurchens, the Haixi Jurchens, and the Savage Jurchens.

The Jurchens of Jianzhou had been exterminated by Jing Yuan himself, and the Jurchens of Haixi were also implicated. The only ones who still had fighting power were the savage Jurchen forces.

Jing Yuan was puzzled and asked, "Why are there still savages?"

"It's not a savage, it's a branch of the Jurchens."

Yu Qian shook his head slowly and explained: "They are called savages mainly because these people mainly live in deep mountains and dense forests, live in thatched cottages, hunt and fish for food, wear straight clothes, and use fish skins in summer. , use dog skins in the cold, don't eat grains, and the six animals are dogs at most..."

Jing Yuan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's alright, alright, Sir Yu, you don't need to talk about this, I just want to know, what is the combat effectiveness of these people?"

"It's nothing more than some barbarian tribes. No matter how powerful the fighting power is, it's not worth mentioning without guns and armor."

"Then... what happened to the Japanese?"

"Various forces within the Wa Kingdom fought in a melee, and the defeated ones could not stay in the country, so they would set their targets overseas. This was the case with the Japanese pirates on the southeast coast a few years ago."

"It's at least profitable for Japanese pirates to plunder the people along the coast and merchant ships at sea. What is this Maori going here to starve and freeze?"

Yu Qian thought about it, and said: "You are right, this matter is very strange, let's stop guessing, let's play the court!"

"How to report, just say that the other party's situation is wrong?"

"Of course it's true!"

"However, we haven't figured out where the coalition forces of the Tatars, Japanese, and Jurchens have gone. If the court asks, isn't it a disadvantage for us to do things?"

In Jing Yuan's mind, with the fighting power of the Ming army, it would be easy to deal with the remnants of the Tatars, but he didn't expect that now he couldn't even figure out the movements of the main force.

Moreover, the Jurchens and Japanese were also involved, so I don't know what conspiracy is brewing.

Yu Qian thought for a while and said, "Let's play it truthfully. I always feel that something is wrong. These people must have plans."

Jing Yuan replied: "In that case, I will send someone back to Mohe Wei to send a telegram."

Yu Qian nodded, but continued to stare at the map, his eyebrows were still tightly knit together, and he couldn't help wondering, where did the Tatars go?

From the analysis of the battle situation, the battlefields captured by Lianlian in the first battle were all disguises, old, weak, sick and disabled left by Tuotuobuhua, in order to mislead the main force of the Ming army.

The real main force of the Tatars, as well as the main force of the Japanese and Jurchen, had already left the island, and they left by boat.

Where did the 2000 people go...

From the map, the north, west, and east sides of the island are land, and the south side is the sea.

If you go north, you can reach the Yaksha country, which is an uncivilized and wild land, and there is no need to be so troublesome, you can go there at any time.

To the east is the country of Liugui, guarded by Beishanwei. The number is roughly the same as that of the Tatar Allied Forces. However, the equipment strength of the two is very different.

Besides, if you want to fight Beishanwei, you can use the Yasha Kingdom, why do you have to take a boat?
Since the north and east are excluded, only the west remains.

However, the west side is the most unlikely, because there is Mohewei guarded by Jingyuan.

Over the years, the imperial court has been on guard against the Tatars, equipped the Mohe Guards with a large number of sophisticated weapons and equipment, and even has a special line for telegrams. It can be said that if Tuotuobuhua dares to show up, he will be bombarded into scum by cannons immediately .

Going further south is the Liaodong area, and it is even more impossible to gradually approach the hinterland of Daming.

Even they couldn't go ashore at all. The coastal defense ships of the Ming army were equipped with light artillery, and it was completely easy to kill these ships.

This is not okay, that is not right, where did the person go...

Yu Qian drew a circle on the map. It stands to reason that the range of activities of Tuotuobuhua can only be limited to this circle, but so far no trace has been found.

There was a sound of wind outside the door, Jing Yuan strode in and said, "I have sent people back to Mohewei, and the telegram will reach the capital by tomorrow night at the latest."

Yu Qian was staring at the map, suddenly raised his head and asked, "How many defenders are there in Mohewei?"

Jing Yuan said in astonishment, "It's less than two thousand, what's wrong?"

The full number of Mohe Wei is 600 people. However, there is an unwritten rule in Ming Dynasty that all guards will not be full, and there will be some vacancies more or less. Therefore, the actual number of Mohe Wei is less than 2000. , This expedition brought out [-] soldiers and [-] logistics soldiers, leaving less than [-] people in the garrison.

Yu Qian drew a line on the map with a charcoal pen, and his two brows were furrowed even more, almost standing on end.

"Start from here and head south along the coastline, which happens to be staggered with our marching route on land!"

Jing Yuan looked at the map, puzzled and said, "You mean, Tuotuobuhua went to Mohewei?"

Immediately, he waved his hand vigorously and said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Yu Qian asked back: "Why is it impossible?"

Jing Yuan laughed, and said, "Master Yu, you are not kidding, are you? Even though there are less than 2000 people left in Mohewei, the city is strong and there are artillery and guns. Tuotuobuhua's 2000 people are not enough to fight!"

Yu Qian said suddenly: "Who said they were going to attack the city?"

"Ok?"

Jing Yuan frowned immediately, and asked, "Master Yu, what do you mean by that?"

"Let me ask you, what is the function of Mohewei?"

"It is natural to guard the northern border to prevent the Tatars from making a comeback."

"With the strength of our army, how confident are the Tatars in capturing Mobeiwei?"

When Jing Yuan heard this, he suddenly burst out laughing, and said, "One percent... no, not half percent, almost zero!"

"Not bad!"

Yu Qian nodded, and said slowly: "But you have to be clear, their target has never been Mobeiwei."

Jing Yuan put away the smile on his face and said, "Master Yu, I don't understand what you said again."

Yu Qian tapped the map twice with his finger, and said: "Mobeiwei is a wall that prevents the Tatars from going south. Their goal is not the wall, but behind the wall!"

Jing Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, so what?"

"Who said that this wall must be broken, wouldn't they go around it?"

"impossible!"

Jing Yuan shook his head again and again, and said, "I personally supervise and arrange the defenses of Mohewei and its surrounding areas. It is absolutely impossible for the Tatars to bypass the front-line defenses!"

"You're talking about normal times!"

Yu Qian looked solemn and said, "How much defense force do you have left for this expedition?"

As soon as these words came out, Jing Yuan's expression suddenly changed!

He immediately bent down and stared at the map closely. There was a red line in it, which Yu Qian had just drawn.

"You mean, the Tatars bypassed the Mohe Guard's defense line by sea while we were dispatching our troops to the front line?"

Yu Qian nodded and said, "I've seen your defense map. There should have been an outpost here, but before the expedition, you withdrew the troops here, didn't you?"

Jing Yuan has already realized that the situation is not good, looking at the position of Yu Qian's finger at this time, he was speechless for a while.

That's right, the guards of this outpost were withdrawn to the city by him.

It is normal for the army in front to go out and the city is not well defended, so people will be drawn from each outpost, and even the entire outpost will be withdrawn.

Especially for this outpost, the main defense target is the sea, which is even more irrelevant.

boom!
Jing Yuan slammed his fist on the table, and said angrily, "Tuo Tuo Bu Hua, this old fox, is taking advantage of the emptiness of our army's rear, playing his mother's secret game?"

Yu Qian said: "I'm afraid that this opportunity is not waiting for him, but designed by him!"

Jing Yuan was already furious, and asked: "Could it be that our actions are all within his plan?"

Yu Qian nodded and said, "It's possible!"

Since the beginning of the war, Yu Qian felt something was wrong.

However, he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Now that he has found the island where the Japanese are hiding, and learned that Tuotuo Buhua led the elites of Tatar, Jurchen, and Japanese to sail by boat, he realizes that the matter is far more serious than he imagined.

This Tuotuobuhua first scattered the old, weak, sick and disabled in various strongholds, misleading the Ming army all the way north. It turned out that his real goal was to enter the hinterland of Daming from the sea while the Ming army's defenses were empty.

Whether it was Mohewei or Duoyan Sanwei, they all focused on the north, but unexpectedly, these grandsons landed quietly and touched the shore.

It is not difficult to disguise 2000 people.

Moreover, they are likely to have an internal response!
Since the man surnamed Wang in Guitiankou dared to smuggle food to the Japanese, why didn't he dare to cooperate with the Tatars?

The Tatars only need to get horses and weapons, and they are still very threatening.

In this way, Tutuobuhua arranged for the Tatar captured by Beishanwei in the battle between Liugui Kingdom and Yecha Kingdom?

Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on Yu Qian's back.

Because he thought of a more serious problem, the Tatars have worked so hard and tried their best, what is their goal?
As long as 2000 people go ashore, it will be a deadly battle, and there is absolutely no chance of escape.

No matter how brave and skilled they are, under the encirclement and suppression of the Ming army, there is only one dead end in the end.

These are two thousand dead soldiers. If they dare to do this, there will definitely be an earth-shattering action.

Yu Qian raised his head suddenly and exclaimed: "Oops!"

Jing Yuan was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?"

"emperor!"

"What happened to the emperor?"

"The emperor has gone to Mobei!"

Yu Qian finally figured out the Tatars' conspiracy, and his face turned black.

Jing Yuan didn't understand yet, so he asked: "The emperor went to Mobei...what's wrong?"

Yu Qian picked up a red pen and drew a line on the map.

"If the Tatars have really landed, they can go all the way west from here to Mobei!"

Jing Yuan was stunned for a moment, then said: "I don't think it's possible. Even if we deploy all our troops in the north, there are still outposts in the south. If we find the enemy, we will definitely notify the army as soon as possible."

Yu Qian said in a deep voice: "They only need to get horses, even if their tracks are exposed, when our army is assembled, they may have already arrived in Mobei!"

"Where did they get the horses?"

"Don't forget, they have internal support!"

Jing Yuan also realized that the situation was not good, and asked, "You mean the one who smuggled food?"

Yu Qian nodded and said, "At least there is someone surnamed Wang, and I'm afraid he's not the only one."

"Who else?"

"I still do not know yet!"

Yu Qian waved his hand and said, "Since Tuotuo Buhua has already planned everything, all links must be foolproof, otherwise, they would not be able to take the initiative to come to die!"

Jing Yuan thought for a moment, finally nodded and said: "You are right, their target is the emperor, so the explanation makes sense."

Just think about it, if they can really win against the odds and capture the emperor, the imperial court will definitely use their hands to prevent them from surviving.

I don't know how long this conspiracy has been planned, all for the arrival of this moment.

Tuotuo is not gambling, and it is a big gamble.

If you win, you can make a comeback.

If it is defeated, it will be wiped out, and there will be no more Tartars in the world.

Yu Qian threw the pen in his hand and said, "It's not too late, let's chase after it!"

Jing Yuan hurriedly said: "It's better to send a telegram first, warning the emperor that there is danger, and he needs to return to Beijing immediately!"
