When Bi Chengen escaped from Lingzhou City, he only brought three hundred Cangtou troops with him, that is, the family members of the Bi family, and they were the most elite part of the Ningxia rebels. According to his prediction, the time of his escape was very good, when the official army had just broken through the city, all attention should be on controlling the gap in the city gate as soon as possible, and in the shortest possible time to kill the army into the city to control the situation.

At such times, the officers and soldiers will not notice him.

But what he didn't expect was that the telescope in the hands of Gao Shishi and Ma Gui and the original monocular equipped with them in Ningxia Town had poor performance, so he was discovered when he slipped away from the city tower. As for using a stand-in to disguise or something after going down to the city tower, although they can't see it, it doesn't matter anymore.

This little mistake led to his escape plan being discovered first, and later Gao Shishi's pursuit order finally caused the Cangtou army to lose nearly half of its men in the breakout.

However, Bi Chengen is cold by nature, even if the loss is his own family, it doesn't make him sad, he is just a little afraid, and then the excitement of escaping the cage is excited.

Bi Chengen's "luck" was not used up even here, and on the way to escape from Lingzhou to Ningxia, he encountered several rebels who were urgently transferred back to Ningxia from various forts. Originally, these people were not exactly the subordinates of Bibai's father and son, but at this time, Bi Chengen took all of them under the pretext of the military emergency, and took them all under his command as the eldest son of Bibai, and when he arrived in Ningxia, he actually gathered enough 2,000 people - equivalent to him bringing all his troops in Lingzhou back to Ningxia.

Bibai, who had previously learned that Lingzhou was besieged and was in a hurry in Ningxia, heard that his son was back, and he was naturally very excited, especially when he knew that Bi Chengen had also incorporated some of the other generals' subordinates along the way, he was even more secretly happy in his heart, not only did he not blame, but he didn't even let him return his subordinates to the rest of the generals.

Bi Chengen returned to Ningxia in the morning, and at noon Ningxia City also held a reception banquet for him, but what he didn't expect was that in the afternoon, someone actually returned to Ningxia in embarrassment.

This person is none other than the ambitious Tuwenxiu before.

When Tu Wenxiu returned to Ningxia, he was much more miserable than Bi Chengen, and the 5,000 troops he brought out only came back in his early 2,000s, and many of them were lightly injured - the seriously wounded had long been gone, and the baggage was almost completely lost, and the first thing he did when he arrived in Ningxia was to hum and chirp to eat.

Why is it so miserable? Of course it was beaten. To be more precise, it was hammered.

Tuwenxiu's department was not weak, even if Xiao Ruxun brought Ma Kongying's department under Ma Gui back together, but the sum of Pingyu City's inside and outside the city was only about seven thousand. It stands to reason that even if Tu Wenxiu can be defeated with such a force, it will not almost wipe out Tu Wenxiu.

Taihu Hantong is the mother of Bo Shuoketu, the one who used to be the regent of the set of ministries and gave up power to her adult son a few years ago "Queen Mother", Taihu is the Ming transliteration of "Queen Mother", and Hantong is "Hatun".

After learning that his son Boshoketu was defeated and captured, Taihu Hantong rushed to Ixibar to confess to Gao Shishi. She herself is a bright fan like Zhong Jin Hatun, and in the face of Gao Pragmatism, who easily defeated the Great Khan of Tumen, she can be said to have no temper at all, her posture is quite low, and all kinds of words such as "willing to serve dogs and horses" are sprinkled out without money, which fully proves that she is a real Mongolian woman.

Mongolian women are very different from Han Chinese women, they don't have to worry about loyalty, honor, and the like, their only traditional style is to obey the strong, and Mongolian men don't have any objections to this - tradition is power.

If it weren't for Gao Pragmatic's lack of interest in her, there would probably be no difficulty in letting her sleep. Speaking of which, Taihu Hantong's age is not too old, she was born at the age of sixteen, and she is only thirty-seven years old this year, which is the age when the charm still exists.

Of course, Gao Pragmatic did not have this interest, although she herself was mentally prepared before she came, but after all, she was still worried about her son's safety and future "future", and she would not take the initiative to hook up.

Of course, it is to save face to say that the discussion is to give face, but in fact, it is a pragmatic instruction, and Taihu Hantong said that he "will definitely do it".

One of the most important "instructions" at that time was to order her to lead the army to assist Xiao Ruxun in stabilizing the situation in Pingyu City and blocking Tu Wenxiu's possible escape route to northern Xinjiang.

There is no need to elaborate on this war, in short, Taihu Hantong is not satisfied with blocking Tu Wenxiu's way, she wants to make more credit, and strive for Daming to be lenient with her son - theoretically, it is to deal with Hannaji, but in fact, everyone knows that as long as Gao is pragmatic and speaks, Hannaji will never refuse. Therefore, Taihu Hantong knows that the more meritorious he makes to Gao Shi, the less his son's sin will be.

After Xiao Ruxun learned what she meant, he thought about it for a long time and came up with an idea: let Taihu Han and his subordinates pretend to be ordered to attack the Huoluochi brothers, and go around Pingyu City to the west. Then Xiao Ruxun's headquarters went out of the city to fight with Tu Wenxiu, dragged Tu Wenxiu back, and finally Taihu Hantong came back again and defeated Tu Wenxiu with him.

Xiao Ruxun's idea is not bad, but unfortunately Tu Wenxiu saw it. Tu Wenxiu didn't think there was a problem when she learned that Taihu Han was going to the west, but only one day after she left, Xiao Ruxun led the army out of the city to challenge, which suddenly made Tu Wenxiu alert.

Worried that Taihu Hantong would come back at any time, Tu Wenxiu chose to temporarily avoid Xiao Ruxun's edge - retreat. Who knows that this withdrawal is in trouble.

Originally, according to Tu Wenxiu's guess, Xiao Ruxun went and returned, bringing back 3,000 reinforcements, and at first glance, it was to defend the peace and wait for change, and there would be no other overly radical moves.

This reason is very simple, since the Ningxia Rebellion, the entire Ningxia has been completely lost, only he has always stood in Pingyu City, his name must have reached the heavens, should be rewarded, should be promoted, everything is indispensable to his share. In this case, as long as he held the peace, it was already an excellent situation, so why did he risk going out of the city to fight?

But he came out, which means that there must be a ghost here.

According to Tu Wenxiu's idea, as long as he retreats immediately, Xiao Ruxun will definitely not chase after him with all his strength in order to seek stability, so that even if he encounters the return horse gun that Taihu Han killed together, he can fight.

However, the imagination is plump, the reality is skinny, and Xiao Ruxun, who almost saw with his own eyes that the main force of Gao Pragmatic took out the elite army of 30,000 or 40,000 in the Khan Court of the Sleeve in one battle, now there is no need to "seek stability" at all - anyway, the only force that can pose a threat to him is Tu Wenxiu, and if you want to eliminate this threat, you only need to defeat him, what more stability?

Besides, Xiao Ruxun himself is also a young man, and his desire to make contributions is flourishing, so he hopes to get mixed with the general army as soon as possible, how can he miss the great opportunity?

So Xiao Ruxun did not retreat to the city immediately after "repelling the strong enemy" as Tu Wenxiu expected, and wrote a battle report to the imperial court to ask for merit and rewards, but instead pursued relentlessly, and had the momentum of directly driving Tu Wenxiu to death.

At this time, Tu Wenxiu finally realized that something was wrong, and while commanding the operation, he fought and retreated, and at the same time sent a scout horse to investigate the location of the elite of Taihu Han's department. 360 Literature Network

Sure enough, Taihu Han and the elite of the Ordos Khan Court were trying to fight a beautiful battle to save face from the defeat to the Ming army, and at this moment they were not only already killing back, but also extremely fast, almost at the expense of horsepower.

Tu Wenxiu was shocked when he heard the news, just Xiao Ruxun and Ma Kongying's allied forces had already formed an advantage over him in terms of strength, plus more than 20,000 elites of the Khan Court, no matter how you look at it, this battle is bound to lose, and if you don't die, you have to take it in.

The grand cause was completely forgotten by him at this moment, and he quietly concealed the battle situation, and he played a cautious eye, divided the whole army into two parts, claiming that one was pressing the formation and the other was retreating first, and then he hurriedly fled with half of his men and horses.

This move really saved his life, and when Taihu Han went back, he only had time to disarm the 2,500 rebels who were left behind the rear to suppress the palace with Xiao Ruxun and Ma Kongying - the other party saw that more than 20,000 horsemen came, and they surrendered with a very simple weapon, after all, they knew that this battle had not been fought at a glance, so why send them to death in vain?

When Taihu Hantong found out that Tu Wenxiu had run away, he was furious at the moment, and he didn't even have time to say hello to Xiao Ruxun, so he chased after him directly. It's a pity that Tuwenxiu was prepared this time, he relied on his familiarity with the terrain, and walked around the mountain road like a cat-and-seek, and in the end he was only caught by Taihu Hantong once, and successfully escaped after losing three or four hundred people, and finally returned to Ningxia.

On the other hand, Xiao Ruxun and Ma Kongying reported the victory, and Taihu Hantong could not mention things such as pleading guilty while reporting the victory, but said that Bi Chengen and Tu Wenxiu returned to Ningxia one after another, which seemed to strengthen the power of Ningxia, but in fact, it also caused instability within Ningxia.

Although Tu Wenxiu had his own calculations before, he himself had always been a close confidant of Bibai, and among the 5,000 people in his department, except for the part of the temporary recruitment, the rest were all Bibai's descendants.

This time, Tu Wenxiu lost nearly 3,000 troops at once, which was a great damage to Bibai's power, and even somewhat shook the foundation of Bibai's rule.

In fact, there were more than 60,000 rebels in Ningxia, and among these 60,000 people, half of them belonged to the line of Bibai father and son.

Half of them, that is, 30,000, Tu Wenxiu directly lost one-tenth of the power of Bibai, and the impact is certainly not small, especially under the advantages of one and the other, compared to the rest of the generals.

But Tu Wenxiu's loss of 3,000 people is only one aspect, on the other hand, Bi Chengen also lost nearly 2,000, and what affects the overall situation more is that after he lost 2,000 people, he absorbed some of the troops of the forts that originally belonged to the rest of the generals - also close to 2,000.

The seeds of contradiction were planted.

Now in the situation in Ningxia City, in terms of troops, the generals led by Liu Dongyang and others have a slight advantage, while although the Bibai family is slightly inferior in strength, he has three or four thousand Cangtou soldiers in hand, and in terms of quality, he has won back a city. In a way, the two sides are almost evenly matched, just enough to maintain balance.

But this balance was soon upset, because Gao pragmatic made a bad move.

On the third day after Bi Chengen and Tu Wenxiu returned to Ningxia, the main force of Gao Shishi's department had not yet arrived in Ningxia City, but the vanguard of his department, Ma Chengzhao's department, had already arrived and began to investigate the terrain outside Ningxia City and prepare to set up a wall.

Bibai sent people to find out, and found that Ma Chengzhao's department did not exceed 5,000 people at most, and immediately asked Liu Dongyang and others to send troops to attack, trying to catch Ma Chengzhao by surprise and give Gao Pragmatic a dismount.

However, Liu Dongyang and others were not stupid, they directly refused in front of the generals, and said that they could fight, but how many people he played, he had to send as many people as he could.

Bibai originally also had the intention of borrowing a knife to kill people, but at this time he was directly pierced, although he was angry in his heart, but for the sake of the overall situation, he still endured it, and sent his second son Bi Chengpet to fight with Liu Dongyang.

However, in the end, Liu Dongyang himself did not go, and the old "Fourth Battalion" discussed for a while, and Liu Chuan led 3,000 soldiers to fight - so Bi Chengzhong also led 3,000 troops.

According to the general point of view, 6,000 to 5,000 is to wait for work, and it is basically impossible to lose. Who knew that an accident had happened, the officers and troops on the opposite side were not only prepared, but also had extremely strong firepower, relying on the "Qi Family Military Vehicle Battalion" that they had only heard of, and almost knocked down Liu Chuanbai and Bi Chengpet's troops on the spot in several rounds of counter-charge salvos.

Especially the young and vigorous Bi Chengzhong himself was unlucky to be hit by a stray bullet in the instep because of his position too far forward, and he had to retreat back with Liu Chuanbai. After going back, the two recounted the situation on the battlefield, especially the other party's military flag system, only to know that there were not only Majiada soldiers on the opposite side, but also the Praetorian Guards with the best firearms!

Xia Ma Wei became a laughing stock, everyone's face was ugly, and there was no good idea after discussing for two hours, as long as he let it go for the time being, Bibai finally only said that the city wall of Ningxia was indestructible anyway, and it was by no means comparable to Lingzhou, and when the time came, everyone would defend Ningxia and "wait for the world to change" - he still believes that the Huoluochi brothers can kill him and join him, and he also believes that Buzhihatu can encourage the Tumen to send troops to Tumut.

However, they planned to be ostriches, but Ma Chengzhao refused to play like this. That night, the elite archers of the Majiada soldiers shot in no less than hundreds of inscriptions from outside the city.

These identical texts first boasted about the battle of Huri and Huliang, and then began to make divisive schemes.

According to the confession of Liang Wenmeng, the former governor of Ningxia, the chaos was all due to the wolf's heart and lungs of the father and son, and the revenge of the generals. The rest of the generals were either deceived or coerced by it, and none of them really intended to rebel.

Therefore, Gao Shutai showed great mercy and said that the Ningxia rebels still have a chance to mend their ways, as long as they draw a clear line with the Bibai rebel party and announce that they will abandon the darkness and turn to the light, Gao Shutai will not be blamed for the past!

In the city of Ningxia, because of some inscriptions, the dark tide suddenly surged.
