A day later, the generals from all walks of life returned to the governor's camp to report their merits to Hong Chengchou, how many people were killed, how many cattle, horses and sheep were captured, etc., and there were secretaries on the side to record their merits.

Before, the reason why the order was given to destroy the Tumut tribe was to establish authority, deter other tribes, dare to offend the Ming Dynasty, and hunt down and kill the Ming messenger, this is an example!

Second, the Ming Kingdom is also poor, especially under the name of the Naturalized Governor, if it weren't for the support of Guannai, it is estimated that not many people would survive until next year. This time another major war will be launched, and the consumption of food will inevitably double, and the burden on the Naturalization City will be even heavier. If you can't use the war to feed the war and capture the cattle and sheep of the Tumut tribe for your own use, then this war, although you can achieve your desired goals politically, will lose a lot economically.

Therefore, slaughtering the Tumochuan tribe and capturing their cattle, horses, and sheep was the only viable option.

Listening to the generals below lining up to report the results of the battle, Hong Chengchou was calculating in his mind whether to earn or not! Fortunately, thanks to this post-war reward, the imperial court did not need to appear silver, and in addition to official positions, a part of the fields reclaimed from the Hetao map could be allocated to the meritorious soldiers. Otherwise, even if the battle is won, the court will cry poor!

Early the morning of the second day after the generals returned to the camp, Hong Chengchou was in the Chinese military tent. But this time, there were only two people in the tent, one lite and one martial. The military general was the guerrilla Li Guo, and the civil official was the staff of the former governor of Baotou, who had previously sent envoys to the western Mongolian tribes.

I only heard Hong Chengchou solemnly say to the two of them: "This time, I Daming wiped out the Tumo Chuan tribe with the power of thunder, and it will definitely be able to deter the surrounding tribes, especially the two tribes who had been eye-to-eye with Bu Shitu before. This time, if you send an envoy again, you will not go to these two tribes, but will go directly to the Dzungar and Heshute tribes. ”

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and explained solemnly: "After I went, I didn't need to talk about the border market, but just told them that Bu Shitu didn't think about my Daming grace, but had ill intentions and pursued and killed my Daming messenger, and the emperor was furious and had exterminated the Tumochuan tribe." This matter was only aimed at the Tumo River Department, and he had no other intentions, so he inevitably misunderstood, so he went to inform him. ”

"Ignorance, understood!" Ben nodded in response. His ancestor is the famous Ban Chao, his branch, who has lived in the west for generations, is more proficient in the affairs of the Western Regions, so he was recommended by Yang He to Yang Sichang's side to listen to it, and this time he was transferred by Hong Chengchou.

Originally, his parents' expectation for him was that one day he would be appointed by the emperor to become a jinshi in the Jinluan Palace, so he had a single name and a Braille. It's just a pity that no matter how hard he studies, he has always been a talent. Now, by mistake, he has embarked on the diplomatic career of his ancestors.

Hong Chengchou looked at his eyes, a little uneasy, and told again: "Although our Ming Dynasty is not yet able to deal with these Mongolian tribes in the west, we are not afraid of them. Are you sure about how to treat them? ”

"Your Excellency the Governor, rest assured, the humble ancestor is the Marquis of the Han Dynasty, and he will never disgrace the ancestor!" Ban Dian said sonorously and confidently.

The last time he went on an envoy, he was aware of it early, so he could escape back. It can be said that the level of observation and observation of words and emotions during the mission is still good.

Hong Chengchou nodded after hearing this, and finally showed a smile and said, "Okay, then the official is waiting for your good news!" ”

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Li Guo and said to him: "You are appointed by the emperor, so you will escort him." The task given to you by the emperor doesn't need to be repeated by the official, right? ”

"Don't worry, Lord Governor, the end will be saved!" Li Guo immediately clenched his fists and said loudly.

In the chat group, the emperor has explained the situation to him, asking him to take advantage of this opportunity to escort the messenger to the west, observe the situation along the way, and if necessary, apply to the emperor for achievement points and take photos as a record.

As for why he did this, although the emperor didn't say it, Li Guo could vaguely guess a little. It is likely that after the emperor pacifies Liaodong, he will also use troops against the Western Regions! And this will be his chance!

For the current emperor, Li Guo has had more contact in the chat group, so he naturally knows more than others. He knew that the emperor had great ambitions and wanted to prosper the Ming Dynasty. From ancient times to the present, whenever the Central Plains Dynasty was at its peak and capable, it would inevitably turn its attention to the Western Regions.

It is also for this reason that Li Guo is very motivated about this escort mission. When he came, he had already selected 500 elite cavalry from his subordinates.

After Hong Chengchou finished explaining, Li Guo escorted the class to set off. Subsequently, Hong Chengchou also led the army to return to Huacheng in triumph.

This is also something that cannot be helped, and the more the army stays in the west, the more uncertainty there is. Most importantly, there will be an extra day of food consumption. Winter is coming, so you have to go back to spend the winter!

On the side of the Turghut tribe, he Orlek has been busy since he sent his guards to send away the two Mongols who had fled back to report the news, and also sent away the good tribal leaders.

There are nearly 70,000 or so people in the Turghut tribe, scattered on the grassland, in order to make an alliance with Bu Shitu, he has to mobilize men and horses, select the elite, those who should stay, those who should go east, what needs to be paid attention to in the camp, these things are indispensable for him to worry about.

On this day, he was busy with these things, and a leader of the Dulbert tribe closest to him came over.

The man was a little excited, and told Orlek the good news with a smile: "Our Great Khan is very interested in Bu Shitu's proposal, and has already asked for our opinions, and most of them agree to the Eastern Crusade. No, my side has already arranged the affairs of the Eastern Crusade and transferred all the elites! ”

"Hehe, I'm pretty much on my side." He Orleke also said with a smile, "Just wait for Bu Shitu's news, and then send troops together." ”

Speaking of this, he remembered the incident, so he continued: "By the way, is there any news from Bu Shitu?" Doesn't it mean that the army is preparing to crusade against him, and how is he going to deal with it? It's been a few days, and I haven't seen any news from him! ”

When the chief heard this, he was about to answer, but he saw a hurried footstep coming from outside, and before they could react, the curtain was lifted, and two men broke into the tent in a state of confusion. At the same time, his mouth was still shouting: "Sweaty, it's not good, it's not good......"

After a closer look at Erlek, he recognized that it was two of the guards who escorted the two Mongols to Bu Shitu's side, and couldn't help frowning, and immediately asked, "What's wrong?" ”
