Back to Daming to be a genius

Chapter 245 Young Dog Surrenders?

Lin Dan sent troops this time to announce his greatness, and the lineup is not weak. The think tank and spiritual leader Lama Sarpa accompanied the army. The Uziyet Otok tribe, one of the only two generals under Lin Dan who had defeated Jiannu, Erhunak Duleng Hongtaiji also went south with the army (the other is the father of Gou Shao's father-in-law Auba), and he is one of Lin Dan's most important generals; Lin Dan is in charge of the personal soldiers; there are also Qisai Nuoyan, Tashhai, Huluke Zhaisang, Badasi Zhaisang, Gulu, Intetabu Nang, Yan Chuke, Daiqing Duling, Nang Nuke , Zhongnen, Dorjita, Tuba Jinong, Houhen Batulu, etc., who can recruit good generals and fierce generals, as for the Mongolian Khan, Jinong, Nuoyan and Taiji who accompanied the army, that is even more so. Countless, countless, it can be said that there is a gathering of stars and elites!And when the last local tribal army—that is, the Maoqitan army that ran more than 800 miles in fright when they heard that Young Master Zhang became the Governor of Xuanda, joined Lin Dan’s main force in Kurcha Hanbo, The total strength of Lin Dan's army has reached an astonishing 25 or more!
25 troops marched on the grassland, how majestic the army is!Seen from the sky, the blue and white flags of the Mongolian army marching in separate directions seem to be one after another blue and white torrents, flowing slowly and unshakably on the golden grassland in late autumn; Yellow dragons rolled and meandered on the prairie; on the dragons, there were dragon scales formed by the reflection of Mongolian soldiers' swords, dotted and densely packed.Wherever the army goes, throw whips on the river, enough to stop the flow!Where the soldiers pointed, the vegetation trembled, and the sky and the earth changed color!As for Young Master Zhang, who was named and punished by this majestic and mighty division, his failure in life has basically reached the point of unprecedented and unprecedented!

Eagles fly in September, autumn is the hunting season, and it is also the most suitable season for the Mongolian army to fight. The weather is on Lin Dan's side, and the geographical advantage is also on the Mongolian army's side!Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Xuanda has been the old battlefield where the Ming army and the Mongolian army have repeatedly fought decisive battles. Several famous battles, such as the battle of Tumubao and the battle of Daizhou, were fought on this land. When going to the Central Plains to rob money and food, basically you have to meet Xuanda's Ming army a few times.So even though Daming has lived in peace with Mongolia for more than half a century, the Mongolian army is still quite familiar with the situation of Xuanda's army. It is basically dilapidated and outdated, and it is not practical. In addition, the tribes such as the Maoqitan tribe of Tatar who have been fighting against Xuanda's army for many years actively joined the Mongolian army's southern expedition, and sent Lin Dan a lot of information about Xuanda. Crucial intelligence in various situations, so in terms of geographical advantage, the Mongolian army is not at a disadvantage, and even because of the large number of cavalry and the open terrain, the Mongolian army even has a slight advantage in geographical advantage.

Occupying the right time and place, the rest is harmony between people, because under the banner of seeking revenge from the murderous king Zhang Gou Shao, the Mongolian army is basically united and united, but the Xuan Daming army is not inferior!Lin Dan is very clear, and has long known that the Xuanda army is a relatively capable army among the Ming army. Now that the slave slaughter army directly under Young Master Zhang and the Mongolian mercenaries from Mangui have joined, the overall strength has risen again. The Great Staircase is definitely already the most powerful military region in the Ming Dynasty — bar none!At the same time, Master Zhang's undefeated reputation can also play a huge role in boosting the morale of the Ming army. Coupled with the support of the Xuanda people who have assisted the Ming army in fighting against the Tatar tribes for many years, so in terms of people and harmony , The Ming army can at least draw with the Mongolian army!It is also because of this that Lin Dan dare not take Young Master Zhang lightly even though he has an extremely large number of troops against Xuan Da's army. The slave-building envoys Abai, Bao Chengxian and others asked them about Master Zhang's combat habits and characteristics of using troops in order to formulate targeted tactics; they also found Yaopenerliang and Huoluo who had been fighting against Xuanda's army on the border between Ming and Mongolia for many years. Chi Sao Nao, Qiqing and other Taiji asked them about the details of the Xuan Daming Army.

"Khan, as far as I know, the barbarians have 20 troops in Xuanda's army." Taiji Yaopenerliang of the Tatar Maoqi Charcoal Department who was once frightened by Young Master Zhang ran for more than 800 miles, spitting Lin Dan introduced: "Among them, the barbarians have about 8 troops in Xuanfu, 6 in Datong, and 6 in Shanxi. Among the 20 barbarians, excluding the old and weak troops who are farming , and excluding the barbarian army guarding the local state capital, Zhang Haogu's little barbarian can gather about [-] to [-] troops to fight you decisively, but how many of them are the main force of the barbarians, and how many are second-rate troops to assist in combat, I will tell you Not quite sure."

"Xuan Da's 20 barbarian army, Zhang Haogu's little barbarian can only mobilize 20 to [-] to fight me?" Lin Dan was a little surprised.Taiji Qiqing, who was next to Wa stabbing under the knife, replied with a smile: "The Khan doesn't know that the mobilization ability of the barbarians is far inferior to that of our Mongolia. They are old and weak military households who have been fighting with hoes and farming all year round. Even if they go to the battlefield, they can only transport food, grass and weapons, which will not play a big role. Only the remaining half can go to the battlefield. And among the half of the army that can go to the battlefield, And half of them are going to guard the fortresses of various states, so Yao Pen'er Liang Taiji said that Zhang Haogu's little barbarian can gather [-] to [-] troops, which is still talking to Gao Li."

"Great Khan, I think what the two Taijis said makes sense. Zhang Haogu's little barbarian can muster [-] to [-] troops to fight us decisively, which is considered good." Lama Sharpa said calmly: "Daddy Khan, don’t forget that Zhang Haogu, the little barbarian, still shoulders the important task of preventing the Shaanxi rebels from advancing eastward, and dare not send too many troops from Datong and Shanxi to Xuanfu to help in the battle, so this number will only decrease, not increase.”

"Will that little barbarian ask for help from the barbarian army in the capital of the Ming Dynasty?" Lin Dan asked worriedly.Lama Sharpa was not very clear about the situation of the Ming army, so he dared not answer, but Bao Chengxian, the envoy who established slavery next to him, hurriedly said: "Khan, don't worry, the little barbarian Zhang Haogu has a proud personality and thinks he can He is victorious in all battles and never asks for help from anyone on the battlefield. He will not ask for reinforcements. And according to the habits of the barbarian army, even if Zhang Haogu asks for help from the capital of the barbarian, the barbarian will not attack him for the safety of the capital. Send reinforcements one by one."

"So, we are sure to win?" Lin Dan was amused, and said with a smile: "Zhang Haogu, a little savage, can muster 25 to [-] troops, and I have at least [-] troops here. , or drown him."

"Khan, you must not underestimate that little barbarian Zhang Haogu." Bao Chengxian warned: "Although Zhang Haogu's army is far inferior to yours, but this time you will fight him decisively. To use his ace Slave Slaughter Army and Mangui's traitorous cavalry, the combat effectiveness of these two armies is extraordinary, especially the Slave Slaughter Army. It is not an exaggeration to say that they can outnumber ten by one! And Zhang Haogu is a little savage The most formidable thing is not his military strength, but his cunning, if you fight him, even if you put up all your energy, you will fall into his trap at any time, and you will never get out of it!"

"How can a savage in his twenties be so powerful?" Lin Dan snorted unconvinced.Bao Chengxian recalled the experience of fighting against Young Master Zhang in the past, and said with fear on his face: "Khan, this little barbarian is not so powerful, but even more powerful than this! This goddamn little barbarian has never been upright on the battlefield. When fighting against people, every time he fights, he doesn’t feel comfortable without a lot of tricks and tricks to make people dizzy! And what he is best at is making divorce and counter-measures. We Da Jinhan and Huang Taiji Baylor are The relatives of father and son were all deceived into mutual suspicion and brother-in-law, and finally forced Huang Taiji Baylor to leave the Horqin Grassland. Nurhachi was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot and is still in bed! What's more frightening is that this The little barbarian is very good at sneak attacks, as long as he reveals a little bit of flaws, he may be caught by him and bring disaster!" Speaking of this, Bao Chengxian sighed and cursed from the bottom of his heart: "Our Dajin Kingdom is on the battlefield! To meet this god-killed little savage in the world is simply the bloody misfortune of eighteen lifetimes!"

"It's getting more and more exaggerated. I want to see if this little savage has three heads and eight legs, is he really so powerful?" Lin Dan laughed, and sneered at Bao Chengxian's exaggerated words.Lama Sharpa tugged Lin Dan's sleeve and warned in a low voice: "Khan, be careful, our army is composed of a coalition of hundreds of tribes, and the Tejinoyans of each tribe are intriguing with each other. , everyone thinks in their hearts to save their own strength and let others die. It is difficult to truly work together and share the same hatred! If Zhang Haogu, the little barbarian, is really good at using estrangement as the envoy of Dajin said, then we will be in danger .”

"The national teacher reminded me, I will be careful." Lin Dan nodded, trying to remind himself not to take it lightly, don't be like the senior who was promoted by his sister and brother, and changed to a grassroots soldier after throwing the whip.Lama Sharpa then turned to Bao Chengxian and Abai and asked: "Sanbeizi, Mr. Bao, you have fought against Zhang Haogu barbarian many times, and you must have accumulated a lot of experience and experience. Seeing that the Mongolian Daikin has formed an alliance and jointly For the sake of attacking the Ming Dynasty, I wonder if the two of you can give some pointers?"

"Of course." Abai replied in a deep voice: "This is also the precious experience and lesson that our Dajin exchanged with blood and life - fighting against Zhang Haogu, if he sends someone to deliver the letter, then the letter on the letter You can’t read a single word, and burn the letter immediately! If he sends an envoy to negotiate, then he must kill his envoy immediately, and you can’t listen to a word of the envoy!”

"So exaggerated?" Lin Dan couldn't help but sneered again, "It's a pity that our Mongolia is no better than your Jin Kingdom. It is the rule of heaven set by our Mongolian ancestors not to kill the envoys. You can't kill the envoys, you can only kill them on the battlefield!"

"Then Da Khan will drive away his envoy immediately!" Bao Chengxian said with a gloomy face, "Khan, for the sake of us Dajin and Mongolia working together to destroy the barbarians, I solemnly advise that if Zhang Haogu sends the barbarians The envoy must not be seen or listened to, so he can only kill or drive away his envoy immediately - this is a painful lesson that our Daikin has paid for with the blood of countless soldiers!"

Seeing that Bao Chengxian spoke so seriously, Lin Dan, Lama Salpa and the Mongolian generals present looked at each other. I really don't know whether Jiannu was scared by Young Master Zhang, or was deceived by Young Master Zhang?Or, both?
………………

On September [-]th of the eighth year of the Great Ming Dynasty, Lin Dan's army passed through the Hunsandak Desert and arrived at the Burhatai River on the edge of the Hunsandak Desert. The small inland lake in the lower reaches took a rest. As soon as the army settled down, a messenger from the garrison of Lin Dan's army in Ulan and Shuo came and sent Lin Dan the latest situation of the garrison in Zhangjiakou.Contrary to the expectations of all the Mongolian generals, when Mongolia was almost attacking with all its strength, Young Master Zhang actually only mobilized about [-] Xuanda troops to meet the enemy in Zhangjiakou - of course, no matter how much Young Master Zhang pursued a few elites, Tu The [-] iron cavalry of Man Gui and Ma Dengyun's fourth team of the slave army also had to be transferred to Zhangjiakou. In addition, the [-] train soldiers newly formed by Sun Chuanting were also transferred to Zhangjiakou to prepare for the decisive battle with Lin Dan.What was even more unexpected to Lin Dan and others was that under the situation of Mongolian soldiers pressing down on the border, Master Zhang had not closed the border markets of Zhangjiakou and Datong, and allowed merchants from various Mongolian ministries to continue to do business and purchase grain in the border markets.

"The border market hasn't been closed yet? Zhang Haogu is arrogant or careless. He is not afraid that I will let the army disguise as businessmen and sneak into his checkpoint?" Lin Dan was confused, and asked Sha who was reading the letter. Lama Erba asked: "Master, what about our besieged army, how is it going now? And that idiot Ezhe, is he dead?"

"Our scouts and agents found that most of our surrounded army has surrendered." Lama Sharpa replied with a serious face: "Little barbarian Zhang Haogu is really powerful. He let us Mongolian merchant nobles in the border market of Zhangjiakou As a guarantee, as long as our merchants or nobles sign a peace treaty with Zhang Haogu on behalf of their own tribes and swear that they will never follow the Great Khan to start a war against Ming, he can accept the surrender of soldiers from that tribe and promise not to harm this All the captives of the tribe, supply them with enough rations and drinking water, and release them home. In this way, in our surrounded army, except for the army of the Chahar tribe that you directly control, the Great Khan, most of the army of other tribes They all surrendered. Now there are only less than [-] troops, and they are still fighting against the enemy under the leadership of Prince Ezhe, waiting for our reinforcements."

"E Zhe, that idiot, finally didn't surrender and shame me." Lin Dan snorted coldly, and then sneered: "The envoys of Jiannu all boasted that Zhang Haogu was a rare barbarian in the sky, and he was unique on the earth. I think He is also an idiot similar to Er Zhe. A few businessmen or don't beg for guarantees, what can they say? He believes it?"

"Big Khan, forgive me for speaking bluntly, little monk, you are very wrong about this." Lama Sharpa said darkly, "This move by Zhang Haogu is actually not stupid at all, and it is also a very clever plan to divorce Because he doesn’t need to be afraid of being fooled at all. The guarantees made by those Mongolian merchants and people from Bieqi will definitely not work in normal times, but when the war is not good for us, the tribes where these merchants and Bieqi belong will Competing to recognize the validity of the peace treaty, withdrawing from the battlefield, and dispersing our tens of thousands of troops, even one hundred thousand troops without a single soldier! Moreover, those Mongolian soldiers who surrendered to Zhang Haogu's little barbarians are still being captured by Zhang Haogu Gu Xiaomanzi is in control, and on the battlefield, Zhang Haogu Xiaomanzi can also buy them with money and food, so that they can turn around and fight with us, and become Zhang Haogu's little manzi's arm——Zhang Haogu Xiaomanzi's Northern Expedition Horqin Grassland, use this trick!"

"It makes sense, this little barbarian is really not simple! No wonder he didn't close the border market, so he still wants to buy people's hearts!" Lin Dan suddenly realized, and asked worriedly: "Master, what should we do? Zhang If the good old barbarian armed those weak bones that surrendered, he could increase his army by [-] to [-] at once. These troops will at least cause us a lot of trouble when they arrive on the battlefield. Is there any way to prevent his tricks from succeeding? "

"There is only one way." Lama Sharpa held up a finger and said calmly: "Please the Great Khan issue an edict to pardon all the Mongolian soldiers who surrendered to Zhang Haogu, saying that they had to surrender due to the situation. So you don't blame them, when our army destroys Zhang Haogu's little man, they will accept your reward like all the Mongolian soldiers who have not surrendered. The news spread. In addition, let all the princes of Mongolia Taiji who signed the peace treaty with Zhang Haogu little barbarian write a letter, announcing that the peace treaty signed by their tribal people and Zhang Haogu little barbarian is invalid, and announcing that the peace treaty between them is invalid. There will be an endless decisive battle in the future, breaking their idea of ​​​​concluding a peace treaty with Zhang Haogu alone."

"Wonderful!" Lin Dan slapped his thigh again, and said happily, "As long as I announce the pardon for all the Mongolian soldiers who surrendered, they won't have to worry about being punished by me after they come back, and they won't give their lives to Zhang Haogu! That's it, the country Master, quickly draw up an imperial edict for me." Lama Sharpa agreed, and hurried to get a pen and paper, but at this moment, a messenger ran in and clasped his fists at Lin Dan and said, "Report to the Great Khan, our army's Outside the camp, a group of envoys from the Ming Dynasty came with white flags, claiming to be sent by Zhang Haogu, the Governor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty, with a bag of gold, silver and jewels, and they were going to give it to the Great Khan to reward our Mongolian army."

"Sure enough! He even came so far to contact. It seems that Zhang Haogu is determined not to hold back any good ideas!" Lin Dan and Lama Sharpa were shocked. After exchanging glances, Lin Dan He shouted: "Go and tell the envoys of the Ming Kingdom to tell them to get out! It's like negotiating with me, unless the envoys sent by the emperor of the Ming Kingdom come with Zhang Haogu's head!"

The orderly led away, but after a while, the orderly ran in again with a bulging hard object in his waist, and reported to Lin Dan: "Khan, those envoys from the Ming Dynasty refused to leave. One of them, Ruan Dacheng, is said to be the magistrate of Xuanfu in the Ming Dynasty, and he said that he is going to give you a Fusang beauty." Speaking of this, the messenger who received a lot of benefits from Ruan Dacheng added, "Xiao I finally saw the beauty that Ruan Dacheng was going to give to Da Khan, she is indeed very beautiful, none of the beauties in Chahanhot City can compare to it."

"What else is there?" Lin Dan was startled, and his heart began to flutter.Lama Sharpa over there said in a deep voice: "Khan, didn't you hear Zhai Sang's report that this barbarian named Ruan Dacheng also sent a beautiful woman from the Western Regions to Prince Ezhe?"

Lin Dan was stunned again, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then shouted: "Go back and tell him to take the beauties to get out, if he doesn't get out, let someone beat them away." Unexpectedly, the messenger ran back not long after.This time, before he could speak, Lin Dan yelled angrily: "Are you going to drive him away? Don't tell me, that Ruan or something barbarian, is he planning to give me something?"

"No, he didn't say that he would send Da Khan this time." The messenger replied tremblingly: "He just said that he represented the Great Governor Zhang Haogu of the Ming Dynasty to surrender to Da Khan, and he wanted to surrender to Da Khan. Khan, you submit the letter of surrender, Da Khan, if you don’t see him again this time, he will leave immediately.”

"Little barbarian Zhang Haogu surrendered on his own initiative?" Lin Dan and Lama Sharpa were stunned together. After a little hesitation, Lin Dan said subconsciously: "Okay then, call him in."
