Chapter 095: Breaking the Captives (I)

Plugged with snow melting, warblers fly and grass grow.

The southeast of the northern Shaanxi Plateau is a depression in the plateau in terms of topography, and Huri Huliang Mountain is a rare peak in this depression, although the reputation is not loud, but it can also be called a "landmark" in this vicinity.

About 3,000 Mongol cavalry were waiting quietly, and the leader of the group, Ilduqi, had a solemn face, and even a little worried.

Ilduqi has reason to worry, although he is the son of Huang Taiji, who has always been close to Ming, but after all, he is not Hannaji, he can't act so decisively, and he can regard himself as a Ming minister without hesitation, and even be excited and happy as a Ming minister.

Although Ilduqi was also familiar with Sinology, he still had a strong Mongol mentality, and he believed that the plan to lure the enemy into the depths of Boshoktu was itself a betrayal.

Mongolia has been divided for so long that even the concept of "loyalty" seems to have changed a lot, for example, since Altan Khan, the Mongolian right wing has not taken the Great Khan on the left wing seriously at all, as if the left wing is the left wing, the right wing is the right wing, and the left and right wings are not the same family at all.

However, no matter what, he still belongs to the 30,000 households of Ordos, and no matter how big Boshuoktu is, he is also the Mongolian Jinong and the lord of the 30,000 households of Ordos, and he should be the object of his allegiance.

However, at this moment, he had to lie, use tricks, and even fight against Boshoketu, which was undoubtedly psychologically stressful for him.

There are only two points that can explain him, one is that his father's order is difficult to disobey, and the other is that Tokhtar brought the golden arrow order of Hannaji Chechen Khan.

This Khan's edict determined that Boshoketu had not reported to Chechen Khan for his approval, and violated the oath of the Ordos Ministry (theoretically, he swore never to betray when he asked for the title), and more seriously, it also affected the oath of the first Khan and Ida, who had sworn allegiance to the Ming Dynasty in public and said that he would bind all the tribes, so he issued a Khan decree to Hannaji Chechen Khan, "Take Boshuoktu to the city of naturalization to question the guilt."

Here is a situation that few people know, that is, when I answered the tribute, I didn't know what reason I thought, and I announced the establishment of a "Ming Jin Kingdom" (historical facts). This country, which is not known to too many people in later generations, contains the entire right-wing Mongolia, and the implication is that the Ordos Department is also a part of the Ming Jin Kingdom, and Boshoketu, who is the lord of the Ordos Department, is of course also a courtier of Tumut Chechen Khan or the Great Khan of the Ming Jin Kingdom.

Well, this may be a bit twisted, but on the whole, the meaning is still relatively obvious, that is, I agreed to integrate and package the tribes and regions under my control, and then put on a vest outside of Mongolia, and used this vest to be affiliated with the Daming Group for backdoor listing.

It doesn't matter whether it is backdoor or not, the important thing is that in this way, Tumut Khan has another identity, that is, the lord of the "Ming Jin State", the Great Khan, and thus has the name of ordering the Ordos Ministry.

The main reason that Ilduzi used to convince himself to move troops against Bosoktu also came from this.

Of course, the more direct reason is the 70,000-strong army that Gao Pragmatism and Tokhtar added together. People are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads, not to mention that the eaves are big and strong, they can't run out and can't break it, do you plan to hit your head and die if you don't bow your head?

The rationality inherited from him finally overwhelmed the traditional Mongolian hierarchical thinking, and he decided to become a "traitor to Ordos" and a loyal vassal of the "Ming Jin Kingdom".

"Taiji, it's almost time, can we catch up?"

Ilduzi had just recovered from his thoughts when he heard the general beside him ask. Ilduqi looked up at the sky, sighed lightly, and nodded: "It's almost there, let's go...... By the way, send someone to tell Chataiji. ”

The 3,000 cavalry soon galloped away and went west to meet Boshoketu, the lord of the 30,000 households of Mongol Jinong and Ordos.

At this time, Boshuoktu's army was only more than 20 miles away from Huri Huliang, which was not far for the cavalry, and even Huri Huliang Mountain could already be seen from afar.

"Jinong, in front of it is Huri Huliang, after this mountain, go about ten miles to the east, there is the Sarawusu River, we can rest by the river, have lunch, and arrive at Iksibar before nightfall." A general said to Bosoktu.

Bo Shuoketu glanced at Huri Huliang and said with a smile: "Although this mountain is not high, the surrounding area is too low, which makes this mountain have a tall and majestic image." Then he paused, and snorted lightly: "Just like that high pragmatism in the Ming Kingdom, his ability is not big, but his reputation is not small." But I don't know how to quibble after he is defeated by me? ”

The general who spoke before smiled: "Jinong doesn't know anything, the civil officials of the Ming Kingdom are the best at shirking responsibility." A civil official like Gao Pragmat, who is a good reader, has many comrades in the DPRK and China, and is very favored by the emperor, does not have to worry that the responsibility for the defeat will fall on his head. ”

Bo Shuoketu was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Why is this?" He led his troops to fight and lost, it wasn't his responsibility, whose responsibility was it? ”

The general smiled and said, "Naturally, it is the responsibility of Ma Gui and Li Rusong, maybe the generals of Yansui Middle Road and Yansui West Road will be held responsible." ”

Boshoketu was surprised and asked, "What's the matter with them?" What can they decide? ”

The general shook his head and replied: "Naturally, they can't make a decision to be pragmatic, but as long as our sneak attack is successful, the Emperor of the Zhu family and the Chinese courtiers of the dynasty will definitely say that Gao pragmatic is a general of Wen Chen and does not need to be responsible for the details of the battle, and Ma Gui, as a military minister for generations and a veteran general for many years, will not even be able to do a good job of guarding against sneak attacks, which is completely damned." ”

Boshoketu was stunned for a while: "Can you still say that?" ”

The general laughed and said, "There are even more powerful ones!" Jinong, do you think that Li Rusong is at least three hundred miles away from here, and there must be no responsibility? ”

"Isn't it?" Bo Shuoketu was surprised: "He went to the central part of Shanxi to enter Shaanxi, even if Gao Shishi was defeated, it had nothing to do with him." ”

The general shook his head and said, "It's not strange that you think so, but in fact, the Ming court doesn't think so." They will say that Gao Pragmatic is the main way, and Li Rusong is supplemented all the way, which is the so-called positive and strange, and since Li Rusong is auxiliary all the way, he naturally has the responsibility to cover Gao Pragmatic's way, so once Gao Pragmatic is attacked, Li Rusong can't rush to the rescue in time, that is a great responsibility! If Li Rusong had no one to speak for him in the court, it would not be impossible for him to lose his official position and go to work. ”

Bo Shuoketu was stunned for a long time, and then suddenly remembered a stubble and asked: "...... the generals of Yansui Middle Road and West Road?"

"Jinong is saying that their duty is to guard the border, but the army of Gao Shi is outside the fortress, so it is none of their business?" The general smiled and said, "How can it be so easy...... The jurisdiction of these two roads is not far south of our location, and it is the same as Li Rusong's crime, as long as there is no time to help, it is a big crime of 'trapping the commander'.

And the two of them are small generals, I am afraid that the fate will be worse than Li Rusong, and Emperor Zhu may even cut off their heads along with Ma Gui and give them all to Gao Pragmatic for burial. And Li Rusong...... For the sake of his father's face, as long as he loses his official position for a period of time, he may still have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions in the future. ”

Bo Shuoketu took a deep breath, shook his head heavily, and muttered: "These Ming army generals have also seen the hell, and they are still honest when they are bullied to the head?" I really don't understand. ”

The general was originally a subordinate and confidant of Boshoketu's father Buyan Batur, and he asked himself if he had the duty to teach Boshoketu, so he said this, and only after finishing speaking, did he talk about his true intentions: "Jinong, I said these words not only to let Jinong understand the habits of the Ming court, but more importantly, I want to remind Jinong: It is precisely because of this, as long as Gao Pragmatic himself has the possibility of being in danger, not to mention that Magui's guy must be desperate, even if the two Yansui generals in the south of the Great Wall, and even Li Rusong further away, I'm afraid that they all have to rush over and fight hard - even if they are for themselves, they have to fight, please Jinong must not be careless about this. ”

After listening to his analysis, Bo Shuoketu was naturally concerned with him a little bit, and nodded: "You are right, I will be careful." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he thought about it for a while, found a blind spot again, and said in a light of eye: "But it doesn't matter, we are different from usual this time, instead of defending the city pragmatically, we will attack the city." It doesn't take much time to do this kind of thing in the field attack, and by the time those people south of the Great Wall react, maybe Gao Shishi has already been captured by me and taken to Ijin Holo! ”

The muscles on the general's face twitched, and he sighed: "Even so, that Ma Gui is not easy to mess with, this person ...... at the age of thirteen."

"Okay, okay, I've heard about these things, it's not a big deal, didn't I also follow Abu when I was riding a pony?" Bosuktu interrupted with a wave of his hand.

The general saw that Bo Shuoketu was already bored, so he had to sigh in his heart and keep silent.

At this time, the Malay newspaper came to say that Ilduqi had come to meet Jinong.

Boshoketu didn't expect Ilduqi to be able to guess his position at the moment, and at that moment, a cold air came out of his back and penetrated his head, and he hurriedly asked: "How many people did he bring?" ”

Tanma said: "About three thousand." ”

Bo Shuoketu breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and said to his cronies: "There are only 3,000 people, and it seems that they are indeed here to greet me." Hehe, he's a lot more knowledgeable about current affairs than he is. ”

Everyone was quite happy to see the different attitudes of Ilduqi and Chedu, and congratulated Boshoketu together. Only the forty-year-old general frowned deeply, and said in a deep voice: "We have miscalculated this matter. ”

The word "miscalculation" obviously Bo Shuoketu didn't like it very much, and when he heard it, he said with some displeasure: "This is obviously an unexpected joy, how can it be said that it is a miscalculation?" ”

The veteran's status may also be a little special, knowing that Bo Shuoketu has been secretly dissatisfied, but he still insists: "Otherwise, what I said about miscalculation is not this, I mean...... Although Ixibal is a territory of the end, it is not surprising that Ilduqi could have expected us to follow this path, but we ignore the possibility that what if Ilduqi changed his mind at the moment and became an enemy of Jinon? ”

"He dares!" Bo Shuoketu glared and said: "My Ordos Khan tent elite gathered here, he only brought about 20,000 troops this time, how dare he temporarily change his mind and become my enemy?" Do you really think that Ben Khan would not dare to do anything to him because he is also a golden family bloodline? ”

Of course not, there are so many civil wars between the Golden Family's own people and their own people that they can't be more, even if they kill the other party, it's just a routine operation, and one more Boshok Tu to kill Ilduqi is certainly not a big deal.

Of course, the veteran knows this, but what Boshoketu says is not without reason. In the end, the elite of the sweat tent is still the elite, and now there is an obvious advantage in troops, if Ilduqi brings all the main forces that have been cut off, then he can fight a big battle, but he only brought 20,000 soldiers and horses, at this time, wouldn't the "rebellion" be crazy?

He thought about it, and finally came up with a possibility, and asked: "Is there such a possibility, that is, Ilduqi has already thrown into Gao Shipra, and the army of Gao Pragmatism has already arrived in Iksibar, and Ilduqi is here just to lure us to knock on Gao Shiba's tortoise shell?" ”

Boshoketu laughed after hearing this, and said: "Ben Khan went out with his father when he was young, but he is not a young eagle who can't fight. The march of the Ming army was too slow, and Ben Khan had already calculated that it would take at least two days for Gao Shishi to reach Ixibir. ”

The veteran was a little stunned, he really didn't expect that the seemingly rough Bo Shuoketu actually had brains, and he could calculate the marching speed of the Ming army. His heart widened, and his gaze softened a lot when he saw Bo Shuoketu, and he nodded and smiled: "Jinong Yingming, it turns out that I have already calculated, but it seems that I am too worried." ”

Boshoketu received his praise, and could not help but be triolated, but he could not boast about himself again, so he had to pretend not to care, and said to the horse: "All right, you go and ask Ildu Qitaiji to come overβ€”his three thousand men will stay where they are, and I will be safe here, so that he will not have to worry." ”

Everyone knew what was going on behind these words, but of course they wouldn't break it, so Tanma quickly went.

Not long after, Ilduqi rode into the camp alone, drove his horse to see Boshoketu, and about twenty zhang away from Boshoketu, he didn't even control the speed of his horse, so he turned over and jumped off his horse, and walked towards Boshoketu as if nothing happened. Only then did Boshoketu and others remember that Ilduqi's equestrianism was well-known throughout right-wing Mongolia, and this hand seemed to be a bit ostentatious just now.

However, Ilduqi's display did not seem to be deliberate, because when he stepped forward quickly, he immediately respectfully greeted Bosoktu with a Mongolian salute, and said: "Ilduqi has seen Jinong, may Jinong be in good health, and have herds of cattle and horses." ”

Seeing that Ilduqi's face was as usual, Boshoketu even gave him a rare full salute in public, and couldn't help but be overjoyed - when he was in good health, his sons regarded themselves as brothers in front of Boshoketu's peers, how could they perform such a big courtesy?

Boshoketu thought that Ilduqi had really "figured it out" and was going to make a fortune with him, so he couldn't help but walk up happily in person, helped Ilduqi up, and said: "Ilduqi Aha (brother), it's good that you are here, we are brothers, and we don't have to make such a big gift...... Come, let's sit down and talk while drinking. ”

The veteran became nervous when Boshoketu approached Ilduqi, and even held the hilt of the knife for a while, until Ilduqi still honestly performed the big salute and was pulled up by Bosuktu without any misdeeds, and then he relaxed slightly.

However, Ilduzi's next words surprised everyone: "Thank you Zinon, but I'm afraid we won't have time to drink right now - the army of pragmatism is about to arrive in Ixibir!" ”
