……

Wang Ying, formerly known as Wei Song, was the key figure in Zhao Junchen's total annihilation of the Mongol coalition army this time, if it weren't for his enduring humiliation, pretending to surrender to the Mongol coalition army as an internal response, and secretly plotting against Qi Gemu, it would not be so easy for Zhao Junchen to completely annihilate the Mongol coalition army.

It stands to reason that such a hero should have been greatly commended by Zhao Junchen a long time ago, but since the end of the decisive battle of Weishui, Sigmu has not allowed Wang Ying to leave his side, even when Sigmu withdrew his troops and retreated to the grassland, he forcibly left Wang Ying with him and brought him back to the Hetao Plain.

In response to this practice, Sigmu claimed that he and Wang Ying hit it off at first sight, wanted to communicate with Wang Ying for more time, and brought Wang Ying to the Hetao Plain, just to invite Wang Ying to the Ordos tribe as a guest.

But in fact, Wang Ying was just a hostage of Qi Gemu, just an insurance to prevent Zhao Junchen from breaking the contract.

On this day, Sigmu also took Wang Ying with him, once Zhao Junchen handed over 200,000 stone grain and grass to the Ordos tribe as agreed, Sigmu would let Wang Ying leave the grassland and return to the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, after seeing that the soldiers of the Ming army had unloaded all the grain and grass in front of Qi Gemu, Wang Ying came to Qi Gemu's side and asked with a smile: "Leader Qi Gemu, Lord Zhao has already transported all the 200,000 stone grain and grass to the Hetao according to his promise, do you want to count it?" ”

Seeing the mountains of grain and grass in front of him, Qi Gemu's face was also full of smiles, and he said: "Of course I can trust Lord Zhao's reputation, since Lord Zhao has already transported 200,000 stone grains and grass here as promised, he will naturally not cheat and cheat at this time. ”

Having said that, Sigmu still gave an Ordos general behind him a look and asked him to go and confirm the quantity and authenticity of this batch of grain.

In fact, after the Ming Dynasty army transported the grain and grass to the Hetao, the Ordos tribe has always been responsible for the removal of grain and grass, and it will be spot-checked from time to time, so the Ordos general quickly confirmed the news and told Qi Gemu that this batch of grain was not shoddy, and there was a shortage of catties and catties.

After getting the confirmation, Sigmu's expression became more and more joyful, and after laughing, he arched his hand at Wang Ying and said: "In this cooperation, you and I can be regarded as taking what we need!" Mr. Zhao is a good man who speaks his word, and I hope we will have another opportunity to cooperate in the future. ”

Wang Ying shook his head with a wry smile and said: "This cooperation, although it is said that each takes what he needs, but the leader of Qigmu has taken more advantages, not only taking advantage of this opportunity to get rid of the Dzungar army, which is a big trouble in the Mongolian right wing, but also easily harvesting 200,000 stone grain and grass...... I just hope that the next time you and I work together, the asking price of the Siegmu leader will not be as expensive as this time! Although my Ming Dynasty is a vast land, but I took out 200,000 stones of grain and grass in one go, but it also hurts a lot! ”

Hearing Wang Ying's words, Siegmu laughed again, and also felt that he had taken advantage.

In addition to being proud, Siegmu didn't notice the sarcasm in the depths of Wang Ying's eyes.

Without waiting for Sigmu to say anything, Wang Ying bowed his hand to Sigmu: "These days, the contemptible people stay in the grassland as guests, thanks to the warm hospitality of the leader of Sigmu, it can be said that they are at home, but after all, the contemptible people are military attaches of the Ming Dynasty, but they can't stay in the grassland for too long, and now that this batch of grain and grass has been handed over to your department, the contemptible people should also return to the territory of the Han people." ”

Qi Gemu was not surprised by Wang Ying's resignation, but he still pretended to hold on and said, "You're leaving so early? I want to keep you for a few more days, am I not being well treated? ”

Wang Ying shook his hand again and again and said, "The despicable people are eager to return to their hometowns, and they really can't stay any longer." ”

Qi Gemu said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then I will not keep General Wang, if General Wang comes to the grassland next time, he must be a guest of the Ordos tribe!" ”

Wang Ying said meaningfully: "If there is a chance, the contemptible people will definitely rush to the royal tent of the Ordos tribe in person, and I only hope that when the time comes, I can see the leader of the Qiyan Alliance and the leader of Qigmu again." ”

After speaking, Wang Ying rode away from Sigmu's side, rushed to the Ming Dynasty official who was responsible for transporting grain and grass, and after whispering a few words to each other, he led the Ming soldiers to leave in a hurry.

They left in a hurry, as if some imminent danger was coming.

Seeing Wang Ying and the soldiers of the Ming army leaving in a hurry, Qi Gemu had a misunderstanding in his heart, thinking that they were afraid that they would turn their faces ruthlessly and suddenly attack them, and said with a disdainful expression: "These Han people are really a group of cowards!" If I want to turn my face, why should I keep you until now? Where can you flee? ”

After expressing his disdain, Qi Gemu turned his head to look at the large amount of grain and grass in front of him, his expression became happy again, and he commanded loudly: "Warriors, the cowardly Han people are afraid of our martial arts and have offered us this batch of grain and grass!" With this batch of grain and grass, we don't have to worry about this year's cold winter, and your wives and children will be able to eat their stomachs! Now, everyone should take action and bring this grain and grass back to the king's tent to receive the reward and reward of the beggar Khan! ”

After hearing Sigmu's words, the 5,000 Ordos people cheered loudly, as if they had won a great battle.

Then everyone began to move, loading the mountains of grain and grass in front of them onto their horses.

However, 200,000 stones of grain and grass were too much, and everyone was busy for nearly half an hour, and they only loaded less than one-third of the number.

But the abundance of grain and grass was in front of them, and this was their hope for the winter, and everyone did not feel tired.

It's just that the tribesmen of the Ordos tribe were too focused on carrying grain and grass, and the Hetao Plain belonged to their sphere of influence, so they neglected to take precautions and guard, and didn't notice that they were surrounded by people!

With Zhao Junchen's facilitation, Bagen easily joined the Dzungar army on the steppe, with more than 14,000 troops under his command, nearly three times the number of Ordos tribesmen.

Under the command of Bagan, the Dzungar cavalry wrapped the horse's hooves in cotton cloth to minimize the movement as much as possible, and slowly approached them.

In the end, when the tribesmen of the Ordos tribe discovered the appearance of the Dzungar cavalry, the Dzungar cavalry had approached three miles away, which was almost the best distance for the steppe cavalry to charge!

"Warriors! Rush to the past! Kill all the Ordos traitors! Grab all their food and grass in your hands! Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

With a roar from Bagan, the Dzungar army suddenly rushed together, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and the earth shook for a while!

Not long ago, he was still laughing at the Han people for being cowards, but after seeing this scene, his face was suddenly pale, his eyes were full of panic, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Zigmu looked around, and saw Dzungar cavalry rushing everywhere, and as far as the eye could see, there were black Dzungar cavalry and dust raised by horses' hooves.

Qi Gemu made a rough estimate and found that the opponent's strength was more than several times his own, and the tribesmen of the Ordos tribe had been busy carrying food, and they had already overdrawn their physical strength, and they were not able to gather troops and form a formation in a short period of time, so they were obviously unable to compete with the incoming enemy.

Siegmu was not a brave man, otherwise he would not have easily turned back after encountering a crisis in the first place.

In fact, it was precisely because of the backlash in the Weishui War that Sigmu had already abandoned his bloody nature and bravery, and became more and more desperate.

Seeing that his side had no chance of winning, Siegmu panicked in his heart, but he also quickly made a decision!

I saw him shouting loudly: "Leave all the grain and grass!" All of them retreat with me in the direction of the king's tent! Don't fight to the death! After I report to the leader of the Qiyan Alliance, the leader of the Qiyan Alliance will send a large army to pursue it, and these grains and grass can naturally be snatched back! Now, cover me up and return to the king's tent! Remove! Evacuate! ”

As he shouted, Sigmu's voice was filled with panic.

As the so-called "general is the courage of a soldier", since Sigmu's performance is so unbearable, and the tribesmen of the Ordos tribe are at a disadvantage in all aspects, the subsequent battle situation can be imagined.

Arrows rain down, swords and guns kill you!

This is an overwhelming siege and a bloody pursuit!

The battle was fierce and short-lived, but it was only half an hour before the dust settled.

In the end, within ten miles of the vicinity, there were corpses all over the field, but most of these corpses were warriors from the Ordos tribe!

Not only did it have any intention of calculating, but also outnumbered by the outnumbered, coupled with Sigmu's cowardice and couragelessness, the Dzungar army naturally won a complete victory!

Of the 5,000 Ordos people under Sigmu's command, more than 3,000 died here, while the Dzungar army suffered only about 500 casualties.

However, under the cover of the clansmen's death and desperate efforts to break through, Sigmu finally managed to escape with the remaining more than 1,000 people.

Can't take advantage of this opportunity to kill Sigmu with his own hands, Bagen is naturally unwilling.

But he also understood that he was tasked with diverting the tiger from the mountain this time, and in order to gain time as much as possible, he didn't spend too much energy chasing and killing Sigmu, so he could only let the other party go for the time being.

After the battle, Bagen looked at the direction of the royal tent of the Ordos tribe, gritted his teeth and said, "Sigmu, this gutless rat! It's a disgrace to the Mongols! Just know that you just run away! It's a pity that I can't leave him here and kill him with my own hands to relieve the hatred in my heart! ”

After saying this, Bagan quickly sneered: "However, it is also a good thing that he survived this time, he will soon see the fall of the Hetao Plain and the decline of the Ordos tribe with his own eyes, and all this is because of his betrayal and rebellion!" These things are enough to torture him for the rest of his life...... Of course, the premise of all this is that he can survive again in the future and not die at the hands of the Han people! ”

After speaking, Bagen turned his head to look at the 200,000 stone grain and grass not far away, and there was a hint of joy in his expression, and he ordered loudly: "Soldiers, load all this grain on the horse, and I will take you home!" ”

The Dzungar cavalry all knew in their hearts that when they robbed this batch of grain and grass, they would inevitably usher in endless pursuit by the Mongol right wing departments.

But when they saw several mountains of grain and grass in front of them, and heard the word "go home" in Bagan's mouth, everyone cheered loudly.

The Dzungar army not only has more than 14,000 people, but also has a configuration of one person and two horses, and has just snatched more than 3,000 war horses from the Ordos tribe, which has a strong carrying capacity.

Although the weight of 200,000 stone grain and grass is as high as 20 million catties, on average, it is 5 or 600 catties per horse, which is not a particularly difficult thing.

Because of the urgency of time, the Dzungar army moved quickly, and after about an hour, all the grain and grass had already been loaded onto the horses.

After all the grain and grass were loaded, Bagen first took a deep look in the direction of the Ordos tribe's royal tent, and then in the direction of the territory of the Ming Dynasty, secretly swearing that he would definitely come back and wash away the shame he had suffered during this time.

Then, without any further delay, Bagan waved his hand and said loudly: "Withdraw!" ”

As Bagen's words fell, the Dzungar army quickly left in the direction of the Western Regions.

*

Zhao Junchen's choice of the place to hand over the grain and grass is very particular, although it is located in the Hetao Plain, but it is far away from the royal tent of the Ordos tribe.

This also left Bagan with more time to escape.

Therefore, after Sigmu broke through and escaped, even if he was quick and without rest along the way, it took more than three hours to reach the royal tent of the Ordos tribe.

However, it was said that when Sigmu rushed back to the royal tent of the Ordos tribe, the leader of the Mongolian right-wing alliance, Qi Yan, was gathering with the leaders of the Mongolian right-wing tribes to discuss the distribution of grain and grass.

After learning that the Dzungar army suddenly appeared and intercepted all the 200,000 stone grains and grass, Qi Yan was suddenly furious, smashed everything in front of him, and said in a vicious voice: "A group of wild skins of the Dzungar tribe! They even dare to deceive and play tricks on me, if I don't kill them all this time, I won't be able to wash away my hatred! ”

After Qigmu returned to the Hetao Plain, Qiyan wanted to unite the Mongolian right wing departments to send troops to exterminate the Dzungar cavalry on the steppe, but before he could dispatch troops and horses and contact the Mongolian right wing departments, the Dzungar army suddenly sent an envoy to see Qiyan, which meant that they were no longer capable of returning to the Western Regions, so they wanted to settle down in the steppe, and sought the protection of the Ordos tribe, and everything from now on was dominated by the Ordos tribe.

The envoy's statement suddenly made Qi Yan hesitate in his heart, and the plan to send troops to exterminate the Dzungar army together with the Mongolian right wing was delayed again and again, but he didn't expect that all this was a delaying plan of the Dzungar army, and in the end they not only did not take refuge in the Ordos tribe, but also snatched 200,000 stone grain and grass from the Ordos tribe.

Qi Yan felt deceived and insulted, and was immediately furious.

In fact, it was not only Qiyan who was angry, but also a number of right-wing Mongolian tribal leaders.

They were still counting on this batch of grain and grass to survive this year's cold winter, but they were about to start but were intercepted halfway, and everyone was in a mood of resentment and eager to take back the grain and grass.

"Beggar leader, Dzungar is too deceitful! We must not let him go! ”

"All the tribes send their troops and horses together, and they must be killed by all!"

"That's 200,000 stone grains and grass! It must be recaptured! ”

Hearing that the leaders of the tribes asked for their lives, Qi Yan said viciously: "200,000 stones of grain and grass, such a quantity, if the Junggar army wants to swallow it in one bite, aren't they afraid of choking to death?" They must have fled unhappily with this batch of grain and grass! Let's send warriors to hunt them down now, and it's still too late! Pass my order, gather 15,000 warriors of the Ordos tribe, and immediately rush to hunt down the Dzungar army! ”

Although the Ordos tribe is the most powerful tribe on the right wing of Mongolia, it only has more than 20,000 cavalry, and this time it took out 15,000 troops to hunt down the Dzungar army, which is also a bloody investment.

After giving the order, Qi Yan turned his head to look at the leaders of the various tribes in the tent, and said: "Please also ask the leaders to send fast horses to their respective tribes, so that all the warriors of the Mongolian right wing can act immediately and cooperate with the army of the Ordos tribe to hunt them down!" They must not be allowed to escape back to the Western Regions! ”

Hearing this, the leaders of the various tribes agreed loudly, and hurriedly sent fast horse messengers to their respective tribes to gather troops.

Under the temptation of 200,000 stone grains and grass, all tribes acted extremely fast.

By the next morning, an Ordos tribe army of 15,000 people had gathered in one place and pursued in the direction of the Dzungar army's escape!

Halfway through, the tribal armies of the Mongolian right wing also joined one after another, and the scale of this chasing army soon approached 30,000 horses!

With such a large army, it is naturally certain that the Dzungar army will be completely annihilated.

But at the same time, this means that the defense of the Hetao Plain has been greatly weakened.

*

On the morning of this day, while the Ordos tribe sent a large army to chase and kill the Dzungar army, Xu Qingyan stepped into the small kitchen of the governor's mansion.

In this small kitchen, a servant of the governor's palace was boiling a pot of medicine over the fire, and the bitter smell of medicine filled the whole kitchen.

This pot of decoction is naturally used by Zhao Junchen, which is made according to Zhang Decheng's prescription, and needs to be taken by Zhao Junchen before three meals a day.

This morning, it seems that there was an accident, Zhao Junchen's decoction has not been delivered for a long time, and Zhao Junchen has not been able to eat breakfast for a long time, so he asked Xu Qingyan to come here to urge.

After Xu Qingyan entered the small kitchen, he reprimanded loudly: "What's the matter? Why hasn't the decoction been boiled yet? Lord Zhao is still waiting for breakfast! Once you delay Lord Zhao's body, can you afford it? ”

Hearing Xu Qingyan's reprimand, the servant hurriedly explained cautiously: "Please forgive Master Xu, this is by no means the villain's slackness, and I don't know which immoral ghost soaked all the charcoal used for boiling medicine in water last night, and the villain finally found new charcoal, so it was delayed...... But Xu Ye rest assured, the decoction will be boiled immediately, and in a quarter of an hour at most, the villain will send it to Lord Zhao! ”

Xu Qingyan snorted lightly and said, "If you haven't sent the decoction after a quarter of an hour, you won't be working in the Governor's Mansion!" ”

After speaking, Xu Qingyan left with a cold face.

Thousands of people and thousands of faces, Xu Qingyan is so arrogant in front of outsiders.

However, when Xu Qingyan left the small kitchen, he didn't notice that there were two people in the next room looking at him carefully through the window.

These two people are Zhang Daozhen, Liang Fuchen's staff, and Wang Mao, who had a relationship with Xu Qingyan.

After seeing Xu Qingyan go away, Zhang Daozhen asked: "Wang Mao, you carefully identify, is the young man dressed as a noble son you saw at the beginning this person?" ”

Hearing Zhang Daozhen's inquiry, Wang Mao's expression was a little hesitant, and he only felt that Xu Qingyan was six or seven percent similar to the person he had seen at the beginning, but he was not completely sure.

This is also a matter of course, instructing the horse bandits to kidnap the court and the opposition is such a major event that shocks the government and the opposition, Xu Qingyan naturally made a certain degree of disguise when he came forward, and Wang Mao naturally felt a little plausible.

Although he didn't dare to fully confirm it, Wang Maosi mentioned Zhang Daozhen's previous assurance, saying that he could save his life after completing this matter, but he didn't dare to say that he couldn't recognize it.

In the end, Wang Mao gritted his teeth and said, "It's true! That's the man! ”

……

The petrification curse was lifted, so there will be a double shift in the next two days.

Within this week, the Shaanxi-Gansu plot will be completely ended, and the grassland war will be brought over with Spring and Autumn brushwork because Zhao Junchen will not participate in it.
