When Yismain said that he would send troops immediately, the reaction of the Tatar generals was not despondent and discouraged, but their spirits were greatly lifted, and they let out a roar of "whoa", which was amazing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The nomads of this era lived in harsh conditions, and killing and looting accompanied them almost all their lives.

Resources are scarce on the grasslands, and inter-tribal annexation wars occur all the time. Since the birth of the people on the grassland, they have either faced being robbed or robbed others. Survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest, this is the bloody law of survival on the grassland. Growing up in such an environment, it is impossible not to be war-loving.

Huo Aya said: "National teacher, please forgive me, I don't mean to disagree with your opinion, but if you advance the army, it will not match the time agreed by the Great Khan, even if you kill the rear of the Great Wall Pass, it will not help...... The more time delayed on the road, the easier it is for the Ming people to detect the movement of our army and give them sufficient time to react and prepare. ”

"Hmm."

Hearing Huo Aya's words, Yi Si Ma Yin was very satisfied, looked around at the Tatar generals, and said: "Among the many generals under my command, Huo Aya is also counted in terms of wisdom. In the future, if I'm not by your side, it's best for you to listen to Aya for everything, it's good for you! ”

These words made many of the Tatar generals present unconvinced, but out of respect for Yismain, they still respectfully accepted the order, but their eyes were a little complicated when they looked at Huoya.

Yi Si Ma Yin said: "The reason why we are in a hurry to send troops is because there is a little accident...... In the middle of last month, the Ming court sent reinforcements to rush to the three sides. However, the reinforcements were deliberately slow, and their direction of reinforcement was not Datong Town and Taiyuan Town, but Xuanfu. In this official document in my hand, the general who commanded the reinforcements pointed out our plan for the march and asked all the border passes to be vigilant. ”

"It is estimated that the official document arrived in Xuanhua City first, and the Xuanda Governor of the Ming Court transferred to Huai'an Acropolis after reading it. Now I don't know if this official document reached the Ming Court, or the three sides in the northwest! ”

When Yismain said this, the Tatar generals below suddenly exploded as if they were in a frying pot, and a man about thirty years old Wanhu said:

"National Teacher, your plan is seamless, how can anyone know? Could it be that the generals of the Ming Tingwei Institute made a trick and knew that after we attacked the city, they wrote such an official document to confuse the public! ”

Huoya's face was full of concern, and everyone looked at Yismain with a solemn expression. Yismain shook his head: "Probably not." Because the person who commands the reinforcements really needs us to be vigilant, this person is very famous in the Ming Court, and has a lot of contacts with us Mongols, his name is Shen Xi, and he is the champion of the Ming Court! ”

"Huh!? Shen Xi! ”

Hearing Shen Xi's name, there was an uproar in the main hall.

If it were someone else, the Tatars might not know who it was, but for "Shen Xi", everyone present remembered this name in their hearts, and even engraved it on their bones and in the depths of their blood, because it represented unforgettable hatred.

In the war in the thirteenth year of Hongzhi, the Tatars were the victorious side, chasing the remnants of the Ming Dynasty to the Yuxi River north of Yansui Town, forcing the Ming army to the situation of fighting on their backs, and as a result, a guy named Shen Xi was born, and the Tatar army was thrown into disarray in an unbelievable way, and then the Ming army launched a counteroffensive, and the result of the war was a Tatar defeat.

Since then, there has been civil strife among the Tatar tribes, and in the following years there have been rivers of blood in the steppes, and the days have become more and more bitter, and the tribes have not recovered from the previous conquests.

However, the Tatars revere the strong, even if Shen Xi is a heinous devil in the eyes of the Tatars, but still can't stop people from worshiping Shen Xi, this is the fear of the steppe people for the strong, but more people want to defeat Shen Xi, win the respect of all the nomads on the grassland, and even become a big hero in the eyes of the steppe people.

"It's him!"

When Huo Aya heard this name, her fists clenched tightly, and her eyes almost erupted with fire, "This person has harmed countless sons and daughters of my grassland, and he is our great enemy, and I am still worried that he will not come!" National Teacher, please allow me to lead my men and horses to fight him to the death! ”

Yi Si Ma Yin said: "Huo Aya, you must not be impulsive. Shen Xi is the public enemy of our steppe people, and there is no one who does not want to seek revenge on him. But you have to remember that the best way to deal with the enemy is to defeat him on the battlefield and bring him to his knees, and resentment will not solve the problem. ”

"Shen Xi is the confidant of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he took over the position of governor of Zhu Hui Yansui this time, this position has never been held by anyone under the age of forty, but the emperor of the Ming Dynasty let a young man less than twenty years old take the position, which is enough to prove that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty knows how to use people well."

"The emperor of the Ming Dynasty nominally allocated 50,000 soldiers and horses to Shen Xi, I don't know how many of them are for the time being, but how dangerous this person is, I think you know better than anyone else, if you take the 1,000 men and horses under your command, not only can you not achieve victory, but you will be defeated on the battlefield, and the old hatred will add new hatred!"

Huoya was so angry that she clenched her fist and waved it, but finally put it down helplessly. A short man next to her opened his mouth to persuade:

"Huo Aya, you dissipate your anger, although Shen Xi killed your husband and killed the hero praised by our grassland people, everything must be arranged by the national teacher!"

Originally, Huo Aya had already died down, but when she heard the words that seemed to be persuasive but sounded more like a provocation, Huo Aya's eyes became blood-red, and she said angrily:

"Do you think I'll forget this hatred? I have been to the Khan capital of the Ming people before, and I took out my sword to compete with him, and even invited him to the grassland to fight him to the death at the grassland conference, but this man was a wreck, refused to accept my challenge, and threw my knife on the ground...... This is an insult to me, I will not kill him, I am ashamed to be the descendant of the blue wolf and the white deer! ”

There was silence in the lobby.

Several 10,000 households and many thousands of households, seeing the fire silk blazing, secretly laughed in their hearts.

Huo Aya is so used to being strong in the army that others are afraid to see her, but Huo Aya has a weakness, that is, she hates being called a "widow" by others.

Huo Aya is not a beauty, she is still very ugly in the aesthetic point of view of the Ming people, thinking that even the ugliest maid Xiu'er of the Shen Xi family is more beautiful than her, but in the mate selection criteria of the grassland people, appearance is only a condition for the powerful to choose a concubine, and ordinary grassland men like a woman like Huo Aya with big hips and round hips and strength to carry the crown.

It's a pity that her husband died shortly after she got married, and she kept her hatred in her heart and vowed not to marry again, which made others have no chance to get their hands on her. Some people say that if anyone can avenge Huo Aya, Huo Aya will marry whom, although this statement has not been confirmed by Huo Aya herself, but seeing Huo Aya's reaction today, he knows that this matter is not groundless.

Yi Si Ma Yin said: "You retreat first, prepare for the march, I have something to tell Huo Aya!" ”

"Yes."

The Tatar generals withdrew from the yamen hall, and only Yi Si Ma Yin and Huo Aya were left in the room.

Huo Aya held back the anger in her stomach and said to Yi Si Ma Yin: "National Teacher, since you know that Shen Xi led the troops, this person is very powerful, and you guessed your plan, shouldn't we take the initiative to kill him and annihilate the reinforcements he led in one fell swoop?" ”

Yi Si Ma Yin threw the official document of the Ming Dynasty in his hand on the table and nodded slightly: "Huo Aya, you are right, but some things are not as simple as you think." ”

"For example, this Shen Xi, he is an important minister of the Ming Dynasty, I heard before that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty sent him to the Lingnan coast to fight bandits, I guess it was intended to train him, so that he could accumulate experience in leading troops, and the ultimate goal was to fight with our grassland people."

"Now that he has returned from training in the south, he has led a lot of soldiers and horses, and this person's cunning is not something you can defeat by casually leading your troops to attack!"

"Yes."

Huo Aya lowered her arrogant head, "What the national teacher said is true, but we can't sit idly by and watch him send troops to rescue Xuanfu and leave it alone, with him, our plan to attack Xuanfu may be blocked!" ”

Yi Si Ma Yin shook his head: "No, I didn't explain something just now, in fact, Shen Xi led the troops to go, not Xuanfu." He said in the official letter that if Xuanhua City is used as a barrier, then we will eventually break the city under the long-term attack of the grassland people, so it is best for the Ming Dynasty to rely on the passes of the Inner Great Wall Juyong Pass and Bauhinia Pass, and fight with us in the area between the Inner and Outer Great Wall, so that the Ming Court will have a chance of winning. ”

"I pondered it just now, he was right, if he led reinforcements to Xuanfu, we would be relaxed, Xuanhua City Defense seems to be solid, but it has long been in disrepair and has long been unable to attack, I am confident that it can be broken within five days, and no matter how many defenders there are, it will not help."

"But if the Ming Dynasty strengthens the defense of Juyong Pass and Bauhinia Pass of the Inner Great Wall, we can't detour to the rear of the Beijing Division to attack inside and outside, and can only launch a strong attack from the front, and over time, our advantage will be offset by the strong national strength of the Ming Dynasty, and finally be dragged down!"

Huo Aya is one of the few people in the Tatar army who can understand Yi Si Main's analysis of the battle situation, everyone else relies on brute force to lead the troops, and Huo Aya is not only powerful, but also has a good brain, so when she listened to Yi Si Main's analysis, she clenched her fists:

"This man is so despicable, why don't you dare to fight us head-on, and use crooked ways to deal with us? Could it be that the Ming people are all bad seeds, and they don't even have the slightest blood? ”

"Huo Aya, I want you to know that the choice made by Shen Xi is the most appropriate way for Akito to deal with it, and it is not easy for him to know our movements in advance."

"If the Ming court sends reinforcements to Xuanfu and Zhangjiakou at this time, and at the same time tries to fight with us as much as possible, we will be in trouble, which is the reason why I chose not to rest and send troops directly."

"We must now capture Xuanhua City as soon as possible, and destroy all the fortresses around Zhangjiakou and the Great Wall, so that even if more reinforcements arrive in the Ming Court, we can attack and retreat, and the 40,000 soldiers and horses under my command will not be cut off." Yismain said.

Huo Aya asked nervously, "National Teacher, what about Shen Xi?" ”

"Him?"

After pondering for a long time, Yismain shook his head, "Perhaps, ignore him for now." He chose to abandon Xuanhua City and the surrounding fortresses, such a plan should not be allowed by the Ming Emperor and ministers, I am afraid that he will encounter some trouble. After the men and horses of the Ming court arrived, we tried to avoid fighting with the reinforcements led by Shen Xi, and just fought with other armies! ”

Although Huo Aya had a certain brain, she couldn't hear at all at this time, Yi Si Ma Yin was using the agitation method, and said angrily at the moment: "No, how can our descendants of the blue wolf and the white deer be afraid of a Ming person? He's so thin, I can beat him ten! ”

"But he has wisdom! Everyone in the Ming Dynasty may not be as smart as him! ”

Yi Si Ma Yin squinted, he already felt that Huo Aya's anger had reached a critical point, hoping to completely arouse Huo Aya's bitter hatred and fight Shen Xi with all his might.

In Yisi Mayin's opinion, Shen Xi can only lead 10,000 horses at most, as long as Huo Aya plays normally and uses his strengths and avoids weaknesses, it is enough to defeat Shen Xi. (To be continued.) )
