Zhang Han pondered for a moment, and immediately ordered: "Send Tangma to Xinghe Fort and Xiaohehe Fort to send an order, no matter what news they receive, both sides are not allowed to move, and they are not allowed to start a battle with the Beiyu at this time." ”

The heralds departed quickly, and two groups of three-person horses galloped out of the fort, carrying small red flags on their backs, and soon disappeared from the horizon.

Now the whole situation here in Jining Fort is completely different from a few months ago, Zhang Han had to risk protruding from the fort last time, and after the cavalry oppression on the left and right, the Beiyu was forced to withdraw the battle line to the north of Jining Fort, and there were only soldiers and horses stationed in several important salient places, and now there was no need to send Wen Zhongfa and others to break out of the encirclement, and the Tangma of the three people and a small team was basically sure that the news could be sent.

Zhou Yao asked, "My lord, what should I do next?" ”

"Do nothing." Zhang Han smiled slightly and said, "After waiting for seven days, I will drink a glass of wine on the castle wall and send one to the Great Khan, so I am also an old friend." ”

……

In the first two days, Ah Cheng Taiji could still hold back the agitation in his heart, and did not make unusual moves, in addition to sending troops to mutiny, the camps everywhere still made chaotic moves from time to time, hoping to attract the merchant army to attack.

At the same time, the sentinels on the east and west roads were strengthened to see if the two strong armies of Xinghe Fort and Xiaohehe Fort would attack from both sides together.

According to Ah Cheng's idea, and Yusheng's main force is still on the east and west roads, the strength of Jining Fort is not strong, if Zhang Han wants to preside over the battle, it must be the east and west roads at the same time, Ah Cheng and many Taiji meetings twice, everyone is very interested in Nurhachi's heavy troops to only attack one way, and then turn around and attack the other way, and finally decided to attack the merchant soldiers of Xinghe Fort first, and then turn around and attack the army from Xiaohehe Fort again.

After the plan, of course, secretly transferred troops, Ah Cheng and others mobilized more than 10,000 armor soldiers, with skilled 50,000 or 60,000 herdsmen, it is expected that with more than 70,000 troops, in one fell swoop, eat the soldiers and horses from Xinghe Fort, and then turn back, converge the main force, 100,000 troops turn around and eat the main force of the other road and Yusheng, the two roads are broken, and then sweep the rest of the military fort piers, even if Jining Fort is still there, Zhang Han retracts back to continue to defend the fort, the threat is not big, and the troops scatter back to winter without worrying about being attacked.

It's just that Ah Cheng and Yusheng's soldiers and horses have never appeared.

By the fourth day, Ah Cheng had been riding his horse on a small hillside less than four miles from Jining Fort since morning, and his guards did not dare to step forward to protect it, once the target was too big, it was very likely that the opposite side would immediately open fire!

Until dusk in the evening, when the sky was about to get dark, Ah Chengcai slowly descended from the hillside.

The cavalry of Zhou Yao's department, which came from Xiaohehe Fort and was stationed, was stationed at various military forts, although these cavalry were only more than 1,000 people, but Ah Cheng knew that at least more than 10,000 people had to be mobilized to win, and once the army was mobilized here, Zhou Yao's department could withdraw into the military fort at any time or withdraw directly, and his side would only be in vain.

Everything was dead silent...... There were a lot fewer small movements on Heyusheng's side, and throughout the day, Ah Cheng was extremely looking forward to seeing a large number of Heyusheng's cavalry appear on the horizon...... In fact, he himself knew that it was impossible to appear suddenly, although Xinghe Fort was less than two hundred miles away, and it would take two days to arrive if he was in a hurry, but many sharp posts had been sent along the way, and once the main force of Heyusheng appeared, the sharp whistles would have come back and reported to Ah Cheng that he would know.

On this day, Ah Cheng Taiji was extremely disappointed, and he was extremely eager to report the arrival of the military situation urgently, even if there was any movement of the merchant soldiers along the way, it would be the best result.

When he came down the hillside, Ah Cheng knew that he had become a laughing stock on both sides.

After returning to the felt bag, Ah Cheng sat down cross-legged, frowning and thinking for a long time.

After dark, he called Nemuge and asked, "Did you capture some of the soldiers during the last attack on that military platform?" ”

Nemuge said: "There are some, not many, only two young ones, a few of them ran away, killed a few, a total of more than a dozen people ran out, and the rest followed the military platform to blow themselves up and die." ”

Ah Cheng said with a calm face: "It's been four days, I don't know if He Yusheng is serious or if he sees something, we always have to make the last effort." ”

Nemuge nodded and said, "If Taiji has any method, I will do it immediately." Damn, there are already people from the northern desert tribe telling our jokes today. ”

Ah Cheng's arrangements, already known from the top to the bottom of the herdsmen know, the Great Khan died, as a result, the Taiji wanted to use the death of the Great Khan to deceive and Yusheng to attack, but after a few days, there was no movement on the other side, this matter has been spread in various ministries, and there are already some people who are laughing at Ah Cheng, if there is still no movement in two days...... Even Nemuge didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Ah Cheng still had an expressionless face, and he said: "You do what I tell us, as for the result, we can only follow the will of God." ”

"Yes!" Nemuge straightened up and replied solemnly.

……

"You Han dogs, eat it."

A stout Mongolian swaggered over, the night wind was already a little cold, this man was wearing a sheepskin jacket, there was a strong smell of sheep's flesh on his body, the hair on the top of his head was oily, he had not been washed from birth to adulthood, fortunately these hairs were braided into pigtails, otherwise they would all be knotted, it would be disgusting, and it was inconvenient.

As soon as Lu Siyi saw the image of this Mongolian, he couldn't help but think: No wonder there are many Tartars who shave their hair, it is too inconvenient and ugly for them to have long hair!

The Mongol walked up to Lu Si and the others, and threw down a broken bucket with a "bang", which contained porridge made of millet and wild vegetables, and a few cakes made of multigrain noodles.

Lu Si knew that the porridge and cakes were made by the Han people who accompanied the army in the Tartar team, and the Tartars were not good at eating, mainly relying on milk, and occasionally eating meat, which the Han people were not used to eating.

It may be that the milk and meat feed people, and the face of the Tartar is round, and the complexion is mainly black and red, and it looks very vicious, and very strong.

Some Tartars will wrestle and play when they are idle, and they take off their robes, and Lu Si and they will also take a look, those Tartars are full of tendon flesh and are very strong.

Once a Tartar rode by, saw Lu Si, stretched out his hand to copy, lifted Lu Si with one hand, threw it in the air, and scared Lu Si's soul scattered, and when it fell, the Tartar took it casually, and then put Lu Si down with contempt.

"Dog Tartar, what arrogance." Huang Yufu took the bucket and grimaced at the dwarf tartar.

"That's it," Lu Si thought for a while and said, "No matter how capable they are, aren't they also blocked here by Lord Zhang's army, losing troops and losing generals, and there is no way at all?" ”

"Yes, that's right."

Huang Yufu listened to Lu Si's words, and unconsciously smiled.

The two teenagers divided the porridge and cakes, and ate and drank very sweetly.

They fled with everyone before the military platform was broken, and they couldn't see the road clearly in the night, and ran for half the night, but they were still caught by the Tartars.

Several of the older ones were killed, Lu Si and Huang Yufu were both teenagers, and the Tartars did not kill them at that time, and after a brief trial when they came back, they were grouped together with the Han people who came from Bansheng to do some chores for the army.

Lu Si and Huang Yufu were responsible for giving hands to several Han blacksmiths, who played horseshoe for war horses every day, and were also responsible for repairs, and they had a lot of work, after all, there were thousands of troops here, and they were almost busy from morning to night.

This is also the reason why they have food on time, and the Mongols also know that the work in the hands of these Han people is heavy, and they can't do it if they don't give them food.

Several Han blacksmiths ate alone from a distance, and not only did they eat better, but they also gave them some wine to drink every day.

These Han people are very indifferent to Lu Si, they have fled to the grassland for at least 20 years, and even have been running over for several generations, these people are the White Lotus Sect in the north, and they have a bitter hatred for Daming, Daming has more than 200 years, most of the rebellion is related to the White Lotus Sect, they have no feelings for Daming, on the contrary, they are very hateful, and they have no good face for Lu Si, not only refuse to teach the slightest technique, but also have been on guard like a thief.

"When I'm done eating, I wiped the buckets, and then I washed the bowls of our guys."

When a blacksmith finished eating, he came over and kicked Huang Yufu and commanded.

Huang Yufu's face turned white with anger, and he couldn't resist, so he just snorted in a muffled voice.

After the man left, Huang Yufu said: "When I escape back to the army, I must sign up to be a soldier, not only to kill the Tartars, but also to kill the scum among these Han people." ”

Lu Si nodded and said, "I also want to be a soldier." ”

Huang Yufu said again: "I am a Tianchengwei person, if I can't escape, you remember to tell my father and mother, I didn't suffer any crimes here, and I still have a bereavement if I die, so don't be sad." ”

Lu Si and Huang Yufu have said this many times, and they say it to each other almost every day.

By this time the rest of the blacksmiths had finished eating, and they were picking their teeth with sharpened twigs while discussing their plans for tomorrow's work.

A blacksmith said, "Let's start packing up tomorrow, and we'll be gone in two or three days at most." ”

Another said: "All ministries are preparing. ”

The blacksmith who spoke first said: "Now the people are panicking, all the departments are in chaos, and the boss said that you must be careful to keep it secret, and you can't ask He Yusheng to know the news, otherwise people will know that our Great Khan is dead, and there is internal chaos, so we will withdraw our troops, and maybe they will take advantage of the opportunity to chase and kill, then it will be really hanging." ”

Several blacksmiths were angry, it was nothing more than that the Great Khan was really dead, and all the ministries had to retreat, and now the people were panicked, and the chaos was not in shape.

After saying this, seeing that it was dark, the blacksmith's head said, "Rest early, tomorrow there will be many things." ”

Someone said: "Do you want to put away those horses with iron palms?" ”

As he spoke, this person looked at Huang Yufu and Lu Si, and the hearts of the two teenagers jumped.
