Thank you very much for the reward!

The entire restaurant was silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Tao Xingyan. The candidates here are all northerners, and no one cares more about the situation at the border than them. And this military incident almost delayed their scientific expedition.

When Tao Xingyan heard Luo Xin's question, his originally excited expression darkened and said: "There have been no military disasters in Datong, but there have been many small wars on the Xuanfu side. ”

"It's already happening?" The hearts of all the candidates jumped, and Yun Zhiqiu blurted out even more.

"Hmm!" Tao Xingyan nodded and said: "From time to time, there are small groups of cavalry on Alatan Khan's side to raid the countryside outside Xuanfu, and in fact, the war in the north has already begun. ”

"That'...... What about the winners? Zhang Xun asked urgently.

Tao Xingyan's face showed a hint of excitement and said: "You all know that only General Ma can fight against Alatan Khan in the north, and he was made a horse madman by the Mongols. And it's not just him who is crazy, his subordinates are also crazy. So General Ma did not stick to the city, but went out and fought a few tough battles with those Mongol soldiers. ”

"Tell me how to win or lose?" The candidates asked in almost unison.

"There are winners and losers."

"Alas......" all the candidates not only sighed: "It's not a big victory!" ”

Tao Xingyan smiled bitterly and said: "This is not easy, let me ask the general in the entire north who dares to lead the army to fight with the Mongolian cavalry in the field?" And there are winners and losers against each other? Didn't those generals run away from the wind? Completely disregarding my people? ”

The candidates were silent, and for a moment a sad atmosphere spread in the restaurant.

"Bang......" A candidate slapped the table and said: "I, a million male soldiers of the Ming Dynasty stuck to the border pass, but they were repeatedly bullied by more than 100,000 Mongolian troops, and the millions of troops fled in despair, even before the wind came. What's the use of raising these soldiers? ”

Tao Xingyan sneered and said: "Don't talk about a million male soldiers, even tens of millions of male soldiers are useless, and they can't stop the iron hooves of the Mongols." ”

The faces of all the candidates changed, and Yun Zhiqiu said even more urgently: "Brother Tao is cautious." ”

All the candidates also glared at Tao Xingyan angrily. He called the Mongols iron hooves, and said that even if the Ming Dynasty had tens of millions of male soldiers, it could not stop the Mongolian army, didn't this mean that the Ming Dynasty deserved to die?

Tao Xingyan raised his neck and said: "There is nothing to be cautious about, there is a way to be a soldier and a bear, and a nest of bears." If the generals of the entire border pass are like General Ma, not to mention a million male divisions, even if they are cut in half, only 500,000 male divisions can also destroy Alatan Khan.

But ......"

Tao Xingyan paused, swept his gaze over the candidates and said, "But." How many famous generals in my Daming border pass dare to fight hard with Alatan Khan?

There is only one horse general!

That's why I said that even if there are tens of millions of male soldiers, it is useless, as long as there are those generals who are greedy for life and afraid of death, tens of millions of male soldiers will become tens of millions of bear soldiers, bears of bears! ”

There was silence in the restaurant, and you could hear the pins dropping.

Tao Xingyan's words left all the scholars speechless. Because his words are saying what is on the minds of all the candidates.

"Is there really no way to resist the Mongols?" Yun Zhiqiu let out a long sigh.

"I don't see hope!" Tao Xingyan said coldly.

At this time, Luo Xin frowned slightly, according to historical records, this time Alatan Khan's use of troops against the Ming Dynasty was different from the previous time, most of the time in the past, the army was divided into countless units, and plundered everywhere on the border of the Ming Dynasty. Let Daming be in flames everywhere. But this time is different in the historical record.

This time, Alatan Khan was unusual, concentrating his forces to attack Datong. It was also the news that Ma Fang got from the scouts after countless deliberations and believed that Alatan Khan would concentrate his forces to attack Datong, so he led his army to Datong to secretly attack Alatan Khan. kicked off a series of defeats for Alatan Khan.

But......

Now the news I got from Tao Xingyan is different, there is not a single Mongolian cavalry in Datong, but Mongolian cavalry appears from time to time in the Xuanfu guarded by Ma Fang.

Could it be that his arrival changed history?

Let Alatan Khan change the direction of the offensive and choose to fight hard with Ma Fang?

Wrong!

Why did Alatan Khan send cavalry only in Xuanfu. And did not send a small force of cavalry to Datong or even Jinyang to plunder? You must know that Datong is more than 200 kilometers away from Xuanfu, and Jinyang is also more than 200 kilometers away from Datong. There is no reason to target only the Xuan Fu. And let go of Datong and Jinyang.

This is a sound of striking west!

Luo Xin's heart was beating, Alatan Khan really wanted to make Ma Fang have a delusion, so that Ma Fang decided that the main battlefield of Alatan Khan's troops this time was Xuanfu, so that Ma Fang did not dare to easily lead his troops out of Xuanfu, and dragged Ma Fang in Xuanfu, and he led the army to attack Datong, which is exactly the same as in history.

"Brother Tao, didn't you see a single Mongolian cavalry in Datong?" Luo Xin couldn't help but ask again.

"Nope!"

Tao Xingyan already knew that Luo Xin was the head of the county test and the government test at this time, so he did not despise Luo Xin because of his young age, but answered seriously.

Luo Xin's brows furrowed again, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes. The closest to Datong are Xuanfu and Jinyang, which means that only these two Ming armies can reinforce Datong in the shortest possible time. If Alatan Khan still used troops as recorded in history, in order to confuse Xuanfu and Jinyang, he would inevitably send a small force of troops to constantly harass Xuanfu and Jinyang, so that Xuanfu and Jinyang would believe that Alatan Khan would attack them here, and would not dare to easily send reinforcements.

In this way, there will soon be Mongolian cavalry on Jinyang's side.

In this way, Luo Xin can rest assured that there will only be a small force of Mongolian cavalry in Jinyang, and it will only be to plunder the countryside without city defense, but it is unable to attack the county seat, and Yanglin County should be safe.

But......

Luo Xin didn't just want to be safe, this northern war was a watershed between the Ming and Mongolia. Before this, Alatan Khan has been abusing Da Ming, when he wants to fight, how he wants, just like that, Da Ming only has to be beaten and escape, Alatan Khan has been under the city of Beijing, it can be seen what Da Ming was beaten into? What did the fear of Alatan Khan look like?

However, the result of this war was completely beyond anyone's expectations, and even Ma Fang, who decisively sent troops at the beginning, did not expect to achieve such brilliant results.

In this war, because of the sudden arrival of Ma Fang's surprise troops, it opened the prelude to the successive defeats of Alatan Khan, in fact, the decline of the Mongols began from this battle, and was finally destroyed by the Jurchens.

At this critical moment of historical turning point, what Luo Xin wanted was merit and fame, which was one of the few rare big victories during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, and it was a key battle that reversed the victory and defeat of the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia. If Luo Xin can play a role in this battle, he will gain great benefits.
