Chen Chengan thought for a while and asked a key question: "In whose name did this urgent report come from?" ”

Cheng Xiaolian glanced at Yang Youcai, and Yang Youcai hurriedly read the urgent report again: "It was sent in the name of Jinyiwei." ”

Chen Chengan nodded: "According to the news we got before, Mu Xiaowang has led the army to Hami City, he should have discovered the news of the arrival of reinforcements from the Yarkand Khanate earlier than the Jinyi Guard in Gansu, but he did not send back an urgent report as soon as possible, can we think that he is confident that he can hold his own defense line, so he did not send an urgent report?" ”

Cheng Xiaolian's eyes lit up: "That's right, although Mu Xiaodi is not very old, he is not a reckless person, so far he has only put himself in danger because of the gold mine matter, and now it seems that he really has no need to force himself not to send an urgent report back, can he really be confident?" ”

Kong Yuyu, who was standing on the side, coughed: "The minister doesn't think so, maybe Mu Xiaowang is young and vigorous, and he doesn't want to send an urgent report back because of this little thing, and when he really realizes that there is a problem, I'm afraid it's too late." ”

Everyone's eyes are all focused on Cheng Xiaolian's body, now it depends on how he makes up his mind, if he believes in Mu Xiaodi, then he can press the army, otherwise he will have to make up a team of reinforcements, and at this time, the sweeping army is in Jizhou Town, the Shanhe army is in Shandong, and Mao Youyi is in Yunnan with the army under his command, no matter from which aspect, it is impossible to quickly get together the army to support Gansu.

Cheng Xiaolian thought for a while and gritted his teeth: "After all, I can't get together the army, first transfer half of the Shanhe Army to Henan to standby, and the rest can only trust Mu Xiaodi." ”

In the short term, the Shanhe Army can indeed only move to Henan, and the Northern Sweeping Army can't even draw a single soldier because it has to fight with Tuhai, so it can only rely on Mu Xiaodi.

At this time, Mu Xiaodi didn't mean to be too nervous, and as the information of the Jinyi Guards in the army continued to come back, Mu Xiaodi's confidence became more and more sufficient.

Now the king of the Yarkand Khanate, Sima Yi, is completely in a state of being hollowed, he is a puppet of a sect, and this sect has just won the victory over another sect, and has not yet cleaned up the hostile forces, if the DPRK and China are not harmonious, although it is now known as a 100,000 army, but the Yarkand Khanate has fallen into a huge financial crisis more than ten years ago, and it is impossible to afford to raise 100,000 troops, and even 50,000 is enough to support it.

This is also in line with the trajectory of history, Galdan led the army all the way to pacify the Yarkand Khanate, basically did not take much time, that is, the country has entered a bottleneck period, and because of the lack of the lord of Zhongxing and the ability to govern the world, it has now begun to decline.

So Mu Xiaodi is not too nervous, he has been training in the army these days, although he is not very familiar with military affairs, but there are always two or three henchmen under him who know how to soldier, and they know where the biggest shortcomings of these slave armies are, and in order to exercise their blood, they even offered high rewards to hold a duel schedule.

These efforts quickly burst into great courage under the temptation of money, and the game was in full swing, and three to five hundred of them lost their lives alone, not to mention those who were wounded, and it can be said that two thousand had been lost before the battle.

But Mu Xiaodi was very satisfied with this result, a group of sheep evolved into a shepherd dog because of the loss of a dozen sheep, and the effect on the battlefield will far exceed the combat effectiveness of a group of sheep.

However, it took 20 days for the coalition army on the side of the Yarkand Khanate to walk from the capital Turpan to Hami, and the distance between the two places was about 800 miles, so the marching speed was not very fast.

You must know that when the Manchu Qing Dynasty raided the city of Beijing, Yuan Chonghuan's general Zhao Shujiao raided 400 li in only six days, although Zhao Shujiao's command were all cavalry, but the army of the Yarkand Khanate was indeed a little unhurried in 40 miles a day without any obstruction.

The leader of the army will be a disciple of the Montenegrin faction, named Semir, the ability to lead the army is not very strong, but his status in the sect is not low, he got the news that the army of the Ming Dynasty is only a few thousand people, so even if he is willing to send troops to the imperial court, this kind of thing of picking up credit in vain is of course not left behind.

Moreover, they made the same mistake as the ministers of the Ming Dynasty in their understanding of the Yarkand Khanate, thinking that the current Ming Dynasty was still the same Ming as before, and they had established the Yarkand Khanate by forcibly seizing the territory from the Ming Dynasty, and presumably the Ming army might not be so difficult to deal with.

As for why the Ming army suddenly raided Hami this time, it was probably because I heard that someone had rebelled in the court, so I couldn't wait to come over and pick up the bargain. So Semir had to stand up and give them a hard time, so that they could increase their memory and consolidate their position in the sect by the way.

However, halfway to the road, I heard that the army of the Ming Dynasty had become 30,000 people, and Semir immediately cut off the head of the person who reported the news for the first time, isn't this a pit Lao Tzu, the thousands of people who said it were good, and now it suddenly became 30,000 people, and he rushed over happily, if he couldn't win back, those people in the sect who were jealous of their position didn't know how to deal with themselves.

Soon a second news came, saying that the newly gathered Ming army was formed because of the expropriation of slaves from the surrounding areas.

Angry that Semir immediately ordered all the slaves in the surrounding villages and towns to be slaughtered, of course, normal people will think that this person's brain circuit is a little strange, and it is not a nearby man-made rebellion, why cut off the heads of nearby people, but in Semir's opinion, it is necessary to give these slaves some warnings, let them know that it has always been their own people who control their fate, if they plan to go to the end of the day, those beheaded slaves are their fate.

Of course, after the news of the slaughter of the surrounding slaves spread, the slaves in other places did not dare to have the slightest dissatisfaction, after a hundred years of rule, they have long been accustomed to this kind of unfair treatment.

When Semir rushed to the city of Hami, in order to show his fear, Mu Xiaodi also ordered a retreat of ten miles, Semir laughed, feeling that the army of the Ming Dynasty was too timid after all, and this kind of army dared to stand up and take advantage, which was really not cleaned up.

The reason why Mu Xiaodi withdrew his troops for ten miles was also the idea of fighting, although he didn't know who the other party's main general was, but he had to take the other party's main general lightly to have a chance to win, and this ten miles was the trick he used to the other party's main general.

Naturally, the 100,000 army could not all enter the city, and Semir just entered the city by himself, leaving the army all outside the city.
