Huapi Ridge, located in the east of Shacheng one hundred and thirty miles, is located in the Yu Ma Mountains of Yanshan, the terrain is dangerous, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, the mountain springs are rushing, and the wild flowers are splendid.

Because it is a meeting of mountains and grasslands, the most important feature of this place is that it has both dense forests and vast pastures. In later generations, this is the east entrance of the "Grassland Sky Road", which is a famous scenic spot, known as the Jiuzhaigou.

There is also a characteristic of this place, that is, the summer is cool as autumn, since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there is "thirteen provinces in the world, cold but birch peel ridge" said well, at that time birch peel ridge was still the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and now it is dozens of miles outside the pass.

The encounter between Tumen Khan and the "rebels of the Eastern Tumut Road" broke out near this picturesque birch ridge.

In the first round, only the horses of both sides were encountered, and without any fighting, they both cautiously retreated, and then the armies of both sides invariably chose the terrain of "standing on the grasslands and the mountains to the south" to advance.

However, it was Tumen Khan who really advanced, and the Tumut Eastern Route Army only continued to walk seven miles before stopping to eat dry food and feed the horses.

Before the war, it is not advisable to eat too much, and the same is true for feeding horses, only people and horses do not need to drink unlimited water, not to mention Chataiji, these things are also clear to the other Taiji under his command, and he does not have to explain it personally.

Chataiji himself ate a few pieces of beef and mutton jerky, drank a water bladder of water, and then crossed his horse and crossed his knife to examine the surrounding terrain. The centurion of the Tanma beside him reported: "The Ming Army's Ma Chengxun Department has received the news and is detouring to the right, and Ma Shen will say that he can enter the battlefield diagonally from Danan Mountain to the southwest at the scheduled time. ”

Cha Taiji's face was relaxed, and he nodded: "Okay, I know, send someone back to General Ma, and say that the original plan will not change, but you must remind him not to enter the battlefield too early, and he must wait for our army to firmly contain the Tumen Department before suddenly killing him." ”

"Yes!"

Chataiji asked again: "Where is the Ming army of Zhang Bingzhong's division on the southern front?" Have you crossed the double stone ditch? ”

"Back in Taiji, Zhang Bingzhong's department can't be contacted." Tanma Centurion's expression was a little embarrassed: "The last time he contacted us was in Xiaodonggou, and after walking through Dadonggou, he lost his trace for some reason, but according to the distance, he should have passed Shuangshigou by now." ”

"Lost?" Chataiji frowned and did not speak for a moment.

The young generals beside him said unhappily: "Brother Toto, don't you believe us or what's the matter?" I remember that Gao Qin's envoy said that he had ordered Ma Chengxun and Zhang Bingzhong to obey your command for the time being, Ma Chengxun seems to be honest now, what the hell is this Zhang Bingzhong? ”

Chataiji thought for a while, shook his head and said: "According to the Gao Qin envoy, Zhang Bingzhong is loyal and sincere, not like a person who dares to disobey the Qin envoy's orders, but his son Zhang Wanbang is a bold and fat man, and he has a lot of ideas, I am worried that he will make some demon moth at the instigation of his son." ”

"So what do we do?" Qing Jiangdu frowned: "This guy is the main general, shouldn't he be at the mercy of his son in everything?" ”

Of course, Chataiji can't really do anything to a Ming army general, even if Zhang Bingzhong disobeys Gao Pragmatic's order, this matter can only be impeached by Gao Pragmatic after the fact, he is only an envoy now, not a patrol, for generals at the level of generals, unless the other party directly resists the decree in person, it is impossible to "cut first and then play" or "make a decision on small matters".

Of course, if you change to some domineering civil servants, there is a saint like Gao Pragmatic, and this kind of thing may be done, but Gao Pragmatic is obviously not that kind of person, with his habits, he is more willing to be a protector and observator of the rules, rather than a destroyer. When it comes to sabotage, he'd rather find a way to change the rules and then follow them.

After all, in his previous life, he studied law and economics, and both disciplines were about rules.

Chataiji has a good impression of Gao Shishi recently, because as a person who is known for his loyalty, he also talks about rules, so after hearing this, he just shook his head slightly, and said: "Whether Zhang Bingzhong is disobedient or not, it is still uncertain, even if it is disobedient, it will naturally be dealt with by Gao Qin's envoy, and it is not our turn to intervene." Besides, the task of Zhang Bingzhong's department was to go around from Krahada to block the ditch mouth, and this road had to pass through the mountains, and at the same time, because it was not far from the Tumen department, it was reasonable to walk more secretly. ”

The Qing generals were still quite dissatisfied, and muttered: "In case the other department can't be in place on time, even if we and Ma Chengxun win the battle, the Tumen can quickly flee north from the ditch." ”

Chataiji didn't speak.

Qing Jiang sighed and said, "Forget it, if you can't block it, you can't block it!" Speaking of which, Gao Qin made this set of serial plans, what I don't understand the most is that Zhang Bingzhong went to block the ditch, even if the ditch is narrow, can his 6,000-foot army really block the Chahar Iron Cavalry of the Tumen Department who is bent on fleeing north? I'm not optimistic, if this matter is handed over to Qi Jiguang, I can barely believe it, Zhang Bingzhong, I haven't heard of him have any great achievements. ”

Chataiji glanced at Qingjiang and shook his head slightly: "At least all the strategies of Gao Qin's envoy this time have not made a mistake so far, so at the moment, let's not doubt the ability of the friendly army before the battle starts, Zhang Bingzhong, at the latest, will see." ”

Qing Jiangdu's face was relaxed, and he suddenly became indifferent, and said: "I'm not worried, Ma Chengxun is the name of the former Ma Taishi Mongolians, Ma Fang is actually not the old foundation under the command of Taishi, cooperate with us, the time and place are favorable, and the people are all right, enough to drink a pot well, and if you don't die, you have to shed your skin, even if Zhang Bingzhong doesn't block him, he will go back to Chahanhot, and he will not dare to fight our Tumut ghost idea again in this life." ”

Qing Jiangdu was brought by Xin Ai in history to like to get involved with Chahar and Duoyan Sanwei, and followed them to find trouble with the Ming Dynasty, although nothing happened, but the attitude was anti-Ming. But in this life, because of his pragmatism, coupled with his nephew and friend, Hannaji jumped out to compete with Xin Ai for the position, and he was quite attracted to him, making him a hardcore fan.

At this time, Chataiji squinted his eyes slightly and said, "Tumen are here." ”

Qing looked at Chataiji's gaze, but he didn't see anything, but he knew that Chataiji, the Jebel Divine Eyesight, was very good, so he was not surprised, but said: "I can't see anything yet, but since you see it, then Tumen must really be here, hehe, Tumen, it's not slow." ”

Cha Taiji said: "It's good to be fast, he thinks it's going to eat us, so he naturally has to be faster, lest Dacheng Taiji catch up and fight him with us." ”

Then he didn't say much, but shouted to the people around him: "Everyone stop eating and feeding the horses, all pack up, get ready, welcome our Zasaktu Khan!" ”
