Chapter 1242: Soft Persimmons?
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the daytime temperature in Hami has been hovering around 20 degrees, very comfortable and pleasant, it is a good season for autumn to be high and cool, melons and fruits are fragrant, and horses and sheep are fat, but the mood of full speed sweat is not very refreshing, in fact, for more than a month, he has been so aggrieved that it is difficult to eat.
It's no wonder that it took more than ten years for Full Speed to eat away from Daming Qiwei in Kansai, and as a result, most of it was lost in less than a month, and now only the Hami region is still under control, and it is strange that the mood is not aggrieved.
Mansuer Khan is ambitious, he is an out-and-out war maniac, he has always only invaded others, and now he has suffered such a big loss under the hands of the Ming army, how can he swallow this breath?
However, the combat power of the Ming army is strong, and the commander of the Ming army is a "sinister and cunning" ruthless character, and Man Suer Khan feels that he is not an opponent, so even if he can't swallow this breath, he has to hold it for a while.
For more than a month, Man Suer led an army of 80,000 to retreat in Hami, waiting for the Ming army to attack on thin ice, but the left and right did not see the Ming army attacking, and he couldn't help but be shocked and suspicious, so he sent a large number of scouts and spies to find out the news.
The scouts and spies of Turva tried their best, and even risked their lives to infiltrate Suzhou City, and finally let them hear a shocking news - the Ming army has changed its commander. The frightened Ming army commander Xu Jin, who was known as Xu beheading Xu Changsheng, was ordered to return to Beijing, and his replacement was called Yu Dayou, who was also said to be very young and had been leading troops along the southern coast.
When the Turbo spies heard the news, they immediately rushed back to Hami without stopping and reported it to Mansuer Khan.
When Man Su'er heard the news, he jumped up with excitement, probably feeling that the opportunity for a counterattack was coming, and immediately summoned the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to discuss.
In the hall at this time, all the civil and military ministers under the command of Man Su'er who were able to carry the weight had arrived. I saw Man Su'er sitting on a white tiger skin throne with a golden knife, and said excitedly: "This king has just gotten the news, the Ming army has changed its commander, and Xu Jin, the Duke of Yasukuni, has been transferred back to the capital, and the person who replaced him is called Yu Dayou, although he is very famous, but he is a naval general, who has been leading troops in the south of the Ming Dynasty, and is not good at cavalry field battles, haha It is really heaven to help Ben Khan!" ”
A group of civil and military ministers were overjoyed when they heard this, you must know that changing the commander in battle is a taboo for soldiers, and the Ming army suddenly changed the commander in the case of winning the battle, and the successor is still a naval general, the Ming Emperor should not be in the water in the head, right?
For a time, all the generals were gearing up, vying to lead the troops to fight, but there were still sober minds among the ministers, Zaisang Abla was one of them, he reminded: "Qi Great Khan, the Ming Emperor suddenly changed the commander at this juncture, it is really a bit abnormal, and the new Ming army commander Yu Dayou is afraid that he is not an idle person, otherwise the Ming court would not have sent him to take over the position of commander." ”
Man Su'er couldn't help frowning, and his feverish head calmed down slightly. Seeing this, the general Ya Lan hurriedly said: "Great Khan, the government of the Han people has always been controlled by civilian officials, and there are quite a lot of people who form parties and run private businesses among civilian officials, and it is normal for parties to fight each other, and it is estimated that the sudden recall of Yasukuni Gong Xu Jin is also the result of partisan struggle, so it is not surprising that the last general thinks that the Ming army will change commanders."
As for Yu Dayou, the new commander of the Ming army, his reputation is far worse than Xu Jin's, not to mention that he is just a general who has led the naval army in the south for a long time, even if his skills are great, where can he go? Water warfare and field warfare are fundamentally two different things. Therefore, the last general thought that this was the best time for us to counterattack, and took advantage of the fact that the other party had just arrived and had an unstable foothold, and recaptured Guazhou and Dunhuang in one fell swoop. ”
"General Yalan is right, hesitating at this time will only slack off the fighter, and the last general is willing to lead a vanguard army south to recover Guazhou to atone for his crimes!" Hu Li Na said loudly.
It is said that after escaping from the west gate of Dunhuang that day, Huli Na Er was chased and killed by the Shenji Battalion all the way, and finally fled into the Lop Nur Desert.
However, when Hu Li Na Er crossed the Lop Nur Desert, there were only a dozen personal soldiers left around him, and the rest were all buried in the sea of sand, and even the mounts were not left.
Let's say that Huli Na'er almost survived and fled back to Hami in embarrassment. If it was in the past, Huli Na We'er, who had suffered such a big defeat, would have been cut down by the order of Man Suer Khan, but now that the enemy is at present, it is the time to employ people, so it is rare for Man Su Er to be generous, not only did he not cut Hu Li Na We'er, but he also comforted him with good words and let him continue to stay.
In this way, Hu Li Na'er is really grateful to Man Su'er Khan, and he can't wait to be smeared, so he actively asks for war at this time, one is to repay Man Su'er's kindness, and the other is to be ashamed.
Man Su'er was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately nodded and said: "Very good, Huli Na Er, that Ben Khan ordered you to lead 10,000 cavalry as a vanguard army and go south to attack Guazhou." ”
Hu Li Na'er clenched his left hand into a fist and beat his chest, and said loudly: "The last general will be ordered!" ”
"Yalan, Ben Khan ordered you to lead 50,000 troops and then respond, and you must take Guazhou, there must be no mistake." Full Speed commanded again.
Yalan also punched her fist with her left hand and said loudly: "The last general will be ordered!" ”
On August 20 of the sixth year of Jiajing, that is, the fifth day of Xu Jin's departure back to Beijing, the 60,000-strong army of Turbo marched south from Hami, and the troops pointed directly at Guazhou, ready to pinch "soft persimmons"
And half a month after Yu Dayou, the "soft persimmon", arrived, he was about to usher in his first battle......
……
Let's not talk about how Yu Dayou faced the Turbo army, and said that Xu Jin left Guazhou on August 16, led the Shenji Battalion and the Datong army into Jiayu Pass, returned to Suzhou and stayed overnight, and then took me back to Beijing on the second day.
Nearly 5,000 miles from Suzhou to the capital, if you walk on your feet, it will take two or three months, even if you ride a horse, you still need more than half a month.
When Xu Jin and his party returned to Datong, it was already the twelfth day of the first month of September, and it took twenty-seven days, and when they returned to the capital, it was estimated that it was almost late September.
It is the end of autumn now, the sky above Datong is high and cloudy, Xu Jin's mood at the moment is like a queue of northern geese in the sky, returning to the heart like an arrow, after Datong Town is Xuanfu Town, after Xuanfu, the capital is in sight.
However, just as Xu Jin and his party were about to enter Datong City, an old eunuch was already waiting at the gate of the city with a smile, and it turned out to be Chang Huaien, the eunuch who was the master of ceremonies.
Xu Jin couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly dismounted and stepped forward.
