Chapter 174: Liaohe Ambush (Medium)
The news of the "fleeing Han people" was transmitted back to the north bank of the Liao River smoothly, but the news was not delivered to Tumen and Fried Flowers early, and it was almost dawn.
The reason is that Tumen and Fried Flower had already arrived near Hanjiawan at this time, about 100 miles to the east of the north of the Sancha River wharf, and the messengers sent by the remaining part of the Mongol army also ran for most of the night to catch up with Tumen and them.
After getting the news, Tumen Khan was pleasantly surprised, and looked up to the sky and laughed three times: "Good, good, good!" This is what the Han people often say: Heaven has a way, you don't go, and hell has no door to break in!
High pragmatism, high pragmatism, let you be cunning like a fox, this time you will also be captured by Ben Khan, cramping and peeling skin...... Huh? Wait, Burihatu, tell me, if Ben Khan catches Gao Pragmatic, how can he deal with it? Is it to kill this guy and relieve the hatred in Ben Khan's heart, or to exchange him for some benefits from the Ming Emperor? ”
Burihatu looked hesitant and refused to speak for a long time.
Tumen Khan slowly frowned and asked, "What's the matter, what's wrong with this battle?" ”
"Not really." Buzhihatu frowned and said: "As long as the other party has been tricked, the success of my Mongolian army crossing the river should be certain, but even if it successfully crosses the river, from near Hanjiawan to the Sancha River, it will pass through Dongsheng Fort in the middle, although there is no one general stationed here than Dongchang Fort, but after all, it is also an important part of the Great Wall of Liaodong, and it may not be able to go down in one go......
Even if it goes down, there will still be a lot of delay in the middle, as long as the defenders of Dongsheng Fort are not stupid, they will definitely send someone to inform the Sancha River wharf, and when the time comes, Gao Pragmatic will rely on the cavalry under his hand to escort him, and most of them will be able to escape. Besides, even if he doesn't escape by land and enters the river by boat, we won't be able to catch him, and if he turns to the Taizi River to Liaoyang by boat, we can only look at the river and sigh. ”
Tumen was stunned for a moment, and then cursed hatefully: "These damn ships! Then he sighed and said, "Originally, Ben Khan still wanted to exchange you and Abu for them back......
Burihatu's heart moved, but he couldn't talk about being moved, because he knew the mind of Tumen, this person didn't have much family affection for the "descendants of Dayan Khan", and the only reason why he wanted to exchange Gao Pragmatism for Xin Ai was just that Xin Ai was a strange commodity.
Xin Ai has it in his hand, and Han Naji is worried that he is "not in the right position", and there is a crack in the relationship between him and Daming.
Speaking of which, why didn't Da Ming have such a mind when he held Xin Ai in his hands? It's just that Hannaji is a hardcore fan, and he thinks that it is impossible for him to betray Daming, and Daming has no chance to "use" it when he raises Xin Ai.
On the contrary, if Da Ming really handed over Xin Ai to him, it would be really difficult to do it - kill it, it seems that he is narrow-minded; If you don't kill it, it's always a threat.
Tumen can naturally understand the relationship, so once he has the opportunity, he is happy to take Xin Ai's father and son into his own hands.
In fact, he attaches so much importance to Buzhhatu, although the main reason is that he feels that Buzhihatu's brain is indeed the best among his subordinates, but there is also another reason, that is, Buzhhatu is the son of Xinai.
The son of Xin Ai, even if he is not the eldest son, as long as the first few brothers are dead, or "treason", then he still has the legitimate name of inheriting Tumut.
But now that Burihatu's statement shattered his dreams, he realized that he had indeed thought too much.
As far as Gao Pragmatic is concerned, judging from his performance during the Battle of Monan, he is a ten-out person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, except for the battle of Shacheng when he relied on the indestructible old city of Yuanzhongdu to stand up to a wave, he has always been hiding behind the scenes and commanding, and he has no warrior spirit at all, it is simply ...... Bah!
But the Tu people lack a way to deal with the style of play of Gao Pragmatic, in a not very nice Chinese saying, it is a dog biting a hedgehog, and there is nowhere to put his mouth.
In front of him, he obviously had the opportunity to hit Gao Pragmatic and was caught off guard, but he still had two roads to run, one of which was something that Tumen couldn't think of at all, Tumen felt that Gao Pragmatic dared to go to Sanchahe Wharf in person at this moment because it was more convenient to escape than Gaizhou.
"Forget it, let's put it in advance." Seeing that Buzhihatu didn't speak, the Tumen said consciously and boringly: "Let's cross the river first, break Dongsheng Fort and enter the south of the Great Wall." [Note: The Great Wall here is the eastern border wall of the Ming and Liao Dynasty, but this Great Wall was built to resist the Mongols, and later it had no positive significance for Nurhachi, but instead facilitated the later wars of the Jianzhou Tatars against the Mongols.] ]
Burihatu just nodded silently.
In fact, he was a little uneasy after hearing about Gao Shiren's Sancha River Wharf, but he didn't understand what this uneasiness came from, so he was a little too silent.
Fried Flower Taiji was relieved, and said with a smile: "Gao pragmatic, if you can catch it, it's not a big deal if you can't catch it, after all, the Sancha River Wharf is also close to Dongsheng Fort, as long as we cross the Liao River and break Dongsheng Fort, even if he can escape immediately, he will inevitably be scared out of his guts, and when he hears the prestige of the Great Khan in the future, he may have to retreat." ”
In the end, Fried Flower is a person who has not been beaten by Gao Pragmatic, and he has no personal experience of the kind of things that Gao Pragmatic showed in the Battle of Monan, and he said this very easily.
However, Tumen Khan himself felt that his face was not good-looking, because the last time he fought with Gao Pragmatic, it was him, Zasaktu Khan, who escaped in the end.
After a casual couple of sentences, a Mongolian explorer came to report - in fact, it was not a "horse", they took a freshly assembled raft to the river to see the form of the opposite bank, maybe it should be called a prospecting raft?
"Great Khan, there are no Ming warships in the river, but the fog is too big, and there is a river breeze, and our raft is not easy to manipulate, so we didn't go ashore, and we came back first to report the good news."
In Liaodong in late autumn, fog on the river is a common thing, not to mention that it is still the darkest hour before dawn, where are these Mongolians who are generally not good in water quality willing to stay in the river longer, let alone go ashore to investigate, they must have looked at the boat on the other side and felt that everything was fine, and they could come back to report the good news.
Buzhihatu faintly felt that something was wrong, and said: "How can you ......?"
Who knew that Tumen happened to open his mouth at this time, and said with a smile: "It's good if you don't have a boat, as long as it's not in the water, who will my Mongolian iron horse be afraid of?" ”
Fried flowers also nodded again and again when they heard this, and said proudly: "That's right, as long as you go to the other side, Bentaiji still wishes that the Ming army would come up and send him to death!" ”
Burihatu frowned, and even a little displeased, and said secretly: I felt that the Great Khan had read some books before, and he should have made some progress, but now it seems that it is far from enough. Sun Tzu said: Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival, must not be ignored. I don't know what the situation on the other side of the strait is, so I am so proud and think that I am invincible in land warfare, how can I be the commander? If you want to say invincible, who won and who lost in the last battle of Monan?
His face was solemn, and he was about to say something to stop it, but after hearing the words of fried flowers, they were very satisfied, and they had already waved their hands: "Cross the river!" Ben Khan is going to loot Liaonan this time! ”
