Four armies formed a pocket and surrounded the entrance of the camp.
In Yingkou City, Cao Yi commanded the army to attack the Haraqin camp.
Borai was blinded.
He thought that Cao Yi had many soldiers and generals, and they would consume each other. Ming Dynasty had more soldiers, so he was naturally not afraid of wasting too much.
But the Karaqin soldiers were not good enough and did not replenish them in time.
As a result, he closed the camp gate tightly and continued to build fortifications to guard against sneak attacks by the Ming army.
Bolai killed people every day in the tent.
Bada, who accompanied Bolai every day, was shivering.
Gabia was covered in wounds. Because of her defeat, she was whipped by Borai. She was also waiting for Borai by her side, and was beaten and kicked from time to time.
"Where did this Ming army come from?" Bolai was still confused.
He didn't know the origin of this Ming army at all.
But after waiting for two days, no information came from the other two channels, and he knew that his headquarters was being surrounded.
Then the source of this Ming army is the Liaodong Army.
Who solved the siege of Liaodong?
Stationed in Jizhou Town in Daning?
Or the Henan army coming from the capital to Liaodong?
That’s not quite right. What is Mantulu doing?
"leader."
Bada said cautiously: "Do you think it could be the Daning garrison?"
"impossible!"
"No way!"
Bolai emphasized his tone again and said it again.
He never believed that because the Tatars came in full force to defeat the weak Ming Dynasty, they would never fail.
Moreover, we will not retreat until we achieve our goal.
Unless the Ming Dynasty pays the annual tribute.
Then those who attacked Borai would not be tens of thousands of Ming troops, but elite Tatar soldiers.
Tatar Yuno is the mother. Who cares what ethnic group they are, as long as they are given enough benefits to give them the heads of their biological father and mother, there is no problem.
"What if?" Bada whispered.
"Then it should be Yu Qian who is commanding this battle!"
Borai was more or less afraid of Qian.
Because Yu Qian repelled the Wala in Xuanzang, he rehearsed this war countless times. If he were in Yu Qian's position, he would never win.
Bada remained silent.
The Karaqin troops invaded Liaodong in three groups.
Yu Qian is the coach, he should be based in Shenyang and command the overall situation.
So the one fighting them was Cao Yi of the Liaodong Army. This fighting method was too similar to Cao Yi's fighting method.
The Haraqin tribe and the Liaodong Army have been fighting for so many years and are very familiar with each other.
But those who come to the authorities are confused.
"Do you think the Great Khan was defeated?" Bolai also recognized Mandulu Khan's position as the Khan, and he was still the Grand Master.
"Otherwise there is no way to explain the appearance of the Liaodong Army here!" Bada decided that the Tatars were defeated, so Yu Qian moved to Liaodong.
"But this..."
Borai found it difficult to understand that Mandulu's military and political standards were indeed not good enough.
But he integrated the essence of various Tatar tribes, especially assisted by capable people like Maoli and Alima.
How could it be possible that they were defeated by the Ming army?
Could it be that the Ming Dynasty mobilized troops from the south and used heavy troops to suppress the Tatars, so that the Tatars retreated to Mobei?
The Tatars could come back at any time.
Yu Qian must have left a large number of troops in Daning City to defend the Great Wall.
At this moment, he must not have many troops on hand.
"Let's go to Gaizhou!"
Borai thought that Yu Qian did not have enough troops and was just trying to scare him.
Let him get into trouble and flee Liaodong.
Otherwise, there would not be such a fierce attack, regardless of the cost.
It's really abnormal.
"Chief, Gaizhou is a dead end!" Bada lost his voice.
"Fart, Gaizhou is the only way to survive!"
Borai pointed at the map: "Look, if Yu Qian is in charge of Shenyang and we have 15,000 troops, how can we get through the layers of siege and return to the grassland?"
It really is.
Cao Yi's troops were divided into five groups and formed a siege network around the entrance of the camp.
There is also the unpredictable Yu Qian sitting behind him.
Don't forget, there are still 30,000 Henan troops stationed in Jinzhou. Once their retreat is cut off, even if they are all killed, they will not be able to escape smoothly back to the grassland.
"So, Gaizhou is the way to survive!"
Bo Lai's eyes flashed: "Sage Kong is the heaven for scholars in the Ming Dynasty!"
"Once the Kong family falls into our hands, how will the Ming Emperor explain to the scholars?"
"He Yu Qian is also a scholar!"
"We will definitely protect Gaizhou to the death."
"Even if we can't conquer Gaizhou, we can force the Ming army to become passive."
"If Gaizhou is captured, huh, let's make Daming kneel down, and Daming will have to kneel down obediently!"
"What we can't get on the battlefield, we have to get at the negotiation table!"
Bolai's abacus jingled.
Bada was worried, but seeing that Bolai was in high spirits, he didn't dare to touch his bad luck.
In the next few days, the Karaqin army broke out southward.
Leaving behind more than a thousand corpses, he tore a hole, successfully bypassed the entrance of the camp, and laid down Polo Cauldron, facing Gaizhou City in the distance.
Inside Yingkou.
Cao Yi's face turned red, and Bo Lai gave him a loud slap in the face.
The Karaqin soldiers easily broke through the defense line and fled south.
Everyone knows what lies to the south.
Moreover, the real situation on the battlefield was completely different from his strategic vision.
He wanted to use the main force to entangle the Haraqin tribe, and then wait for the four parties to encircle them, pin the Haraqin tribe to death outside Yingkou City, and besiege them bit by bit.
The Bolai tribe has no supplies. As long as they are kept alive and hanging, they will soon become disorganized and actively seek a decisive battle.
That was Cao Yi's opportunity.
As a result, Borai responded quickly and broke through to the south.
As for his main force, it was defeated in a battle three days ago and could not hold back the Bolai tribe.
That's why Bolai quickly got rid of his control.
As a result, his overall strategic concept became a complete joke.
From active to passive.
In the past few days, he had been falling behind the trap, constantly filling it with corpses, and even his closest men and women were dissatisfied with him.
War is not fought with corpses.
The lives of brothers are not a stepping stone for you, Cao Yi, to get promoted and make a fortune.
Of the 48,000 men, Cao Yi threw in nearly 20,000, but with no results and huge losses, the generals were dissatisfied.
He couldn't explain it to the commander.
"Gaizhou must be protected to the death!"
But few responded.
Being a soldier and getting paid is the best thing if you can gain military exploits, and survival is the first priority.
As a result, the general did not care about the lives of the soldiers at all.
Use their lives in exchange for their own glory and wealth.
Which soldier is willing to sacrifice his life?
If Cao Yi hadn't guarded Liaodong for many years and had a high prestige, the soldiers would have mutinied long ago. They would surrender and go back and forth. Wouldn't it be the same meal wherever they go?
"Shi Zhiyuan, here you are the vanguard!" Cao Yisen said coldly.
He is the chief military officer of Liaodong. He doesn't care what the soldiers think, he just wants the title.
"Yes!" Shi Zhiyuan did not dare to disobey.
After the five groups gathered together, there were still 28,000 people left. Cao Yi gave Shi Zhiyuan 5,000 people and asked him to be the vanguard.
Arrange several armies one after another.
Then, he sent people to mobilize troops and horses from various cities to gather in Gaizhou.
After all, the Haraqin tribe switched from offense to defense. There was no need to keep more troops in each city, just to maintain public order. Elite troops were constantly transferred to Pingshan and Tangchi Fort.
Pingshan and Tangchibao form a triangular balance with Polo Pot, and Polo Pot and Gaizhou face each other from a distance.
Bolai also began to gather back the scattered troops.
The Karaqin tribe came to plunder.
So when they surrounded a city, they scattered the people out into the fields to burn, kill, and plunder.
The guards in various cities in Liaodong just want to fulfill the governor's orders. Who cares about the life and death of the people? The gentry can enter the city, and the people can fend for themselves.
So there is a Shura hell outside the city.
Cao Yi was not a vegetarian either. He knew that the Karaqin soldiers had been sent out and some of them had not returned yet.
Therefore, he also dispersed his cavalry and formed five thousand-man teams, responsible for sniping and killing the Karaqin soldiers returning to the camp.
Soldiers on both sides strangled.
News that Bolai was heading towards Gaizhou reached Shenyang Camp.
Bang!
"What does Cao Yi do for food!"
Hu Xiu was furious: "More than 50,000 people, can't they even stop Haraqin?"
"Does he know who is inside Gaizhou?"
"Once Gaizhou is lost, Cao Yi will be killed by the nine tribes!"
In the courtroom, everyone looked gloomy.
"I thought that Cao Yi had guarded Liaodong for many years and was a good general, but he ended up turning the battle into something like this!"
Gu Rong sneered: "There are only 25,000 people in the Bolai headquarters. When we besieged the camp entrance, we lost more than 3,000 people. When Cao Yi attacked us, we lost more than 10,000 people!"
"Only fifteen thousand people left!"
"How could he break through to the south?"
"Are all fifty thousand soldiers pigs?"
"Have you forgotten the commander's instructions?"
"Open the road to the north, hold on to the south, and let them go home!"
"This is strategy!"
"Cao Yi is at this level and still wants to be knighted?"
"He has been guarding Liaodong for decades. Is this just a rumor?"
"Fancy fool!"
Gu Rong was furious.
Once the battle report reaches the capital, Gaizhou will be besieged, and even the commander-in-chief will have to take advantage of him.
Your Majesty doesn’t even know how to end it!
He is Yu Qian's personal soldier, so naturally he has to think about Yu Qian.
Yu Qian was silent.
"I am willing to lead my troops to help you!" Zhang Gu bowed and said.
Yu Qian's face was as dark as water and he murmured: "Bolai is indeed a famous Tatar general. He knew that the north would be a dragnet, so he broke out to the south to attack Gaizhou."
"But how does he know that Gaizhou houses the Kong family?"
Yu Qian was puzzled.
"Maybe it was the nearby villagers who said it?" Zhang Gu didn't care much about such minutiae.
But Yu Qian shook his head: "Ignorant farmer, what do you know about the Kong family? The water in Gaizhou is not that deep."
This is nonsense.
Zhang Gu frowned: "Commander, do you suspect someone is causing trouble?"
Hu Xiu also narrowed his eyes.
It is very strange for the Haraqin tribe to suddenly attack Liaodong.
The key is to harass Liaodong and beat the autumn wind.
Why do we need to cross the Great Wall and move towards Gaizhou?
Would you say it's weird?
Could it be that Kong was treasonous? Want to be the King of Wenxuan on the grassland?
"Without evidence, there is no way to speculate."
Yu Qian was born as a scholar, but he was not infatuated with saints, and he had no good impression of the descendants of saints.
Kong Hongxu often caused troubles in the fiefdom, and he wrote several times requesting His Majesty to severely punish him.
If Li Xian hadn't given him the scoop...
etc!
Li Xian, governor of Liaodong?
The Kong family was forcibly moved to Siping City. As a result, as soon as the construction of Siping City started, the Haraqin tribe came.
Then, the emperor was forced to issue an order to temporarily resettle the Kong family in Gaizhou.
The main force in Borai moved towards Gaizhou.
What is this for?
Is the Kong family using this method to resist moving to Siping City?
So where did the Karaqin tribe come from?
"That's all, this matter will eventually come to light one day."
Yu Qian stared at the map, pondered for a moment, and said decisively: "We don't care about Gaizhou's defense."
Zhang Gu, Hu Xi and others opened their eyes wide.
"Commander!" Zhang Gu tried to persuade.
Yu Qian wants to cut himself off from the civil service!
How could you say such a thing?
"It doesn't matter, if the sky falls, I will support you!" Doesn't Yu Qian want fame?
He wants it, but can he still want it now?
He has won several great victories that shocked the past and present, but does he still dare to seek fame?
The current emperor is not a weak one who can be bullied.
Once someone slanders Yu Qian and says that he has Sima Yi's ambitions, can Yu Qian explain it clearly?
Don’t forget, what was Yu Qian’s ideal before?
It’s about being a saint.
Therefore, he did not join cliques, but instead left a good reputation among both civil and military officials.
Such a good reputation can now kill him!
A saint would definitely not dare to do it. If he dared to be a saint, the emperor would dare to let him go to the underworld to do it.
Being crowned king is his final destination.
Since he is destined to become a martial artist, what is the use of fame?
Fame will only be a fetter, and it will be difficult for him to end well.
Never underestimate slander.
In this world, there are not many Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang, but more Cao Fang and Sima Yi.
The emperor could trust him once or twice, but could he trust him every time?
So now is the best time to ditch your reputation.
After offending the Kong family, even if Yu Qian had the greatest military exploits in history, civil servants could still discredit him as the most sycophantic minister in history.
The pen of history books and the mouth of civil servants.
Don't believe any of them.
Having lost his reputation, Yu Qian's future is also stable.
He is sixty years old this year and will definitely not survive the emperor.
The emperor also has the ambition of Taizu and Taizong, so he will definitely reuse him and make him a living king with a different surname!
"Let's talk about the war first."
Yu Qian said calmly: "Give Gaizhou to Cao Yi, and I will give orders to Cao Yi to pin Bo Lai."
"First kill the two groups of the Karaqin tribe, Zhang Gu and Zheng Guta. Each of you will lead 7,000 men and rush to the aid of Li Xian and Lu Yuan. Be sure to kill the Karaqin soldiers."
"Instruct Liang Yue to go to Yingkou by water."
"Hu Wei, Gu Rong, you two go to Yingkou in advance to wait for Liang Yue."
"Let Liang Yue split into three groups, and you three will each lead one group."
"Surround Cao Yi and compress the activity space of the Karaqin tribe."
"The Karaqin tribe will continue to break through, but you will continue to set up obstacles and consume them."
"It's enough to tire out their military strength. It doesn't have to be a decisive battle."
"I am stationed in Shenyang, setting up ambushes along the way, waiting for the Haraqin tribe to take the bait."
Yu Qian's order was passed on.
After giving Zhang Gu and Zheng Guta 14,000 men, he only had about 5,000 men left.
He will take some people from each city.
The order was passed to Cao Yi.
Cao Yi, who was sitting in the city of Yingkou, had a bitter taste in his mouth. It was obvious that the commander-in-chief was very dissatisfied with him.
He wanted to continue to deploy guards from various cities.
But was rejected by the camp.
He was not allowed to deploy any more soldiers, and he was only ordered to besiege the Karaqin tribe, and no more head-on confrontation was allowed.
Even if the Karaqin tribe attacks Gaizhou, they are not allowed to attack by force, only to harass and consume.
Cao Yi was stunned when he saw the commander's order.
The commander-in-chief doesn’t care about the Kong family anymore?
It is said that after being forcibly resettled in Gaizhou, the Kong family sent memorials to the central government three times a day, complaining every day.
Even the emperor kept issuing decrees to appease the Kong family and even made concessions.
The Gaizhou defenders were miserable, and many people dumped their houses for the Kong family to live in.
The common people were crowded into the military camp. The Kong family was used to being pampered. They disliked this and that, and various problems occurred frequently.
Gaizhou is in chaos.
There was even a civil uprising.
The emperor issued an edict to reprimand Jiao Sheng and Jiao Qian, and ordered military control in the city. No one had any privileges.
Since then, Gaizhou has returned to order, and the memorials sent to the central government to complain have disappeared. Because it is under military control, irrelevant people are not allowed to leave the city. Obviously, the Kong family is irrelevant.
It is said that the emperor sent someone to give Jiao Sheng and Jiao Qian thirty lashes, and they lay in bed for more than ten days.
Jiao Li, who was in the capital, knelt outside the palace for a day and a night, and was whipped thirty times before he was told to go home.
What signal does this send?
Cao Yi understood.
The emperor regarded the Kong family as a root.
How could the commander-in-chief go against the emperor?
He is just the commander-in-chief of Liaodong. His top priority is to run the emperor's mission well. He doesn't care about the life or death of the Kong family! He, Cao Yi, is not a civil servant!
"If the Kong family is ignored, the Bolai tribe will be nothing but withered bones in the grave." Cao Yi looked at the map and suddenly laughed.
View from the Polo Pot Kalaqin Camp.
The Ming army on the opposite side, which was constantly gathering towards Pingshan, suddenly stopped.
There were no reinforcements.
When the Bolai Army stationed in Bolocheng received the news, they subconsciously thought that Liaodong's troops were exhausted.
A few days later I found out.
The Liaodong Army began to compress towards Boluocheng, but Bo Lai sent people to attack, and they retreated instead.
It's not like I'm here to fight Polo Pot, more like I'm chasing ducks.
Drive the Bolai army towards Gaizhou.
This time Bolai was confused.
He sent two thousand-man troops to attack Gaizhou, but the Liaodong Army did not move.
"Does Mingren no longer want the Kong family?" Bolai was immediately confused.
"Maybe." Bada was a little frightened.
"What a fart!"
Bolai punched Bada directly in the face: "You are just a yes man! Can you get ahead of me?"
Bada screamed.
When Bo Lai looked at him, he became angry and beat him to death.
"Stop fighting, stop fighting!"
Bada kept screaming: "I thought about it. If Ming Dynasty cared about the Kong family, how could it be possible to place the Kong family in Liaodong?"
"No, it's not Liaodong! It's Siping City!"
"That Siping City was originally the territory of the Jurchens, and Mingren bought it with money!"
"Siping is a place of four battles!"
"The Ming Dynasty placed the Kong family there because they don't want it anymore!"
"Why else would the Kong family contact us and ask us to send troops?"
"We were lied to!"
The more Bada talked, the angrier Borai became.
How could the great Borai be deceived by the clown from the Central Plains?
He beat Bada as hard as he could.
Bada was knocked unconscious.
"Waking him up!" Bolai didn't bother to pay attention to him and walked to the sand table.
If Ming Dynasty didn’t care about Gaizhou.
Then he's in deep trouble.
If he were Yu Qian, he would definitely eat the other two.
There were 15,000 troops in the siege of Shenyang, and 10,000 troops in Fushun on the other side.
If these two roads are eaten...
Bolai's body swayed, and he only had 12,000 people left in his hands.
How many people can return to the grassland alive?
It’s over!
All is lost!
"Begging for surrender, begging for surrender to the Ming Dynasty!" Bada's first words came to his senses.
Borai became even more angry, but did not hit him.
"Chief, we can only maintain our strength by begging for surrender!" Bada said.
"But will Daming agree?" Bolai asked dryly.
He didn't get angry, and he didn't hit anyone.
Bada smiled miserably: "Yes, Ming Dynasty believes in ruling the world with benevolence and righteousness."
"We have surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, just like the three Duoyan guards did to the Ming Dynasty. They are still grazing on the grasslands and only participating in the war of the Ming Dynasty."
"Chief, as long as we return to the grassland, we can quickly regain our strength."
"In five years at most, no, three years, we can regain our peak strength and get rid of the shackles of the Ming Dynasty."
If you can't beat them, just join, that's the norm among the prairie people.
If you were on the grassland, you could run away if you wanted to, but now you are stuck in the quagmire.
Liaodong was completely destroyed.
There is no need for the Ming Dynasty to clear the country. The Karaqin tribe has already helped the Ming Dynasty to clear the country. There is no human habitation for thousands of miles.
The Ming army had no scruples at all. Instead, they could not get supplies and would collapse in a short time.
So the Ming army spent time with them.
If you want to get supplies, you have to attack the city.
But in their heyday, they didn't even conquer a single city. Now that they were defeated and remnant, how could they rely on them to attack the city?
The only way now is to beg for surrender.
"Is there no other way?" Bolai said with a bitter tone and sat on the ground slumped.
"Chief, even if we overcome all obstacles and return to Mobei, how much strength will we have left?"
Bada cried and said: "On the grassland, the weak are the strongest. If we lose, we will become the fat meat of other tribes."
"The entire Tatar nation's elite soldiers did not take advantage of the Ming Dynasty."
"We won't be ashamed if we lose."
"What's more, with the wolf nature of prairie people."
"When we return to Mobei, other ministries will definitely block the way and kill us."
"There is no life for ten deaths."
"Chief, you have to think about your soldiers. Their families and our people are all waiting for us to go back!"
Bada kept kowtowing with tears streaming down his face.
Why did Bolai hit him?
I just knew I couldn't beat him and wanted to surrender.
But as the leader of the Karaqin Tribe, he had lost his authority by speaking out, so he asked Bada to speak out for him.
Bada didn't understand, so he naturally wanted to beat him to make him speak out.
"In this case, you, as my envoy, go and get in touch with Ming Dynasty." Bolai definitely didn't want to fight.
He must preserve his strength.
Anyway, the Ming Dynasty has always been like this. As long as they are willing to surrender and join the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty may even grant the title of Marquis of Bolai.
Pingshan camp.
Cao Yi is still planning how to fight.
However, they received an envoy from the Karaqin tribe. After receiving them, they discovered that Bolai actually wanted to surrender.
Bada said that either he would conquer Gaizhou, or both would be destroyed.
Or surrender and ask His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to grant him a title.
Bolai wanted to choose the second path.
"Naturalized?" Cao Yi was stunned.
Bolai would take advantage.
They burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil in Liaodong.
When the army pressed on, they transformed and prepared to surrender.
Release them to the grassland and let them escape intact?
You want to eat shit!
"Keep the captured ones." Cao Yi didn't care about the dead people, nor did he care about the soldiers who died in battle.
What he cares about is money.
This money is in the hands of the people. In the past, there was no excuse to snatch it directly from the hands of the people. This time the opportunity was in front of him, how could he let it go?
He planned to keep half of this money.
Send the remaining half to His Majesty the Emperor, and His Majesty will also praise him. Why not?
As for the people and soldiers, they are nothing more than consumables.
When Bada heard that there was a way out, after a heated exchange of words, he agreed to stay 80%.
"But I can't make the decision in this matter, so I have to ask the commander-in-chief for instructions." Cao Yi was moved. If he could make the decision, he would definitely agree.
However, some good points were given to Yu Qian. After sorting them up and down, only 20% could be sent to the capital. It is estimated that there would not be much left in the hands of the emperor.
When Bada heard this, Yu Qian was indeed here.
"I'll wait, then please let the two families have a truce for now," Bada said.
Cao Yi ordered Bo Lai to write a letter, ordering the other two groups to stop attacking, and the two armies temporarily ceased fighting.
The news reached Hu Xi first.
Hu Xiu hurriedly hurriedly built defenses behind Cao Yi.
As a result, I received a letter from Cao Yi, and he was furious: "Courageless Cao Yi!"
"Our army has gained an absolute advantage, so where can we negotiate!"
"Why negotiate?"
"They will kill tens of thousands of our people in Liaodong!"
"If you say you surrender, surrender!"
"But my Ming Dynasty is invincible!"
Hu Xiu tried to tear it up, but the messenger reminded him that this was to be reported to the commander-in-chief.
Snapped!
Hu Xuan threw it to the ground angrily and stepped on it: "I wish I could kill all the Karaqin soldiers in Lingchi! Build their heads into a Jingguan!"
Liang Yue and Gu Rong were furious when they found out.
After receiving it, Yu Qian from Shenyang laughed out loud: "This battle is decided!"
"Order the Bolai tribe to give up their weapons and surrender!"
"Commander!"
The injured Niu Zhen was still in the camp. His voice was choked with sobs: "So many of our people have died, and Liaodong will not be able to recover in twenty years!"
"How can we accept their surrender?"
"Commander!"
Niu Zhen cried loudly.
"Why are you crying! You have no spine!" Yu Qian glanced at him.
Niu Zhen held back her tears and sobbed: "Why don't you accept the bid?"
"Don't I know this?"
Yu Qian said coldly: "After accepting the surrender, are you going to release them back to Mobei? What are you thinking?"
"Send orders to all armies to execute the prisoners after receiving them!"
"Build your head into a palace to commemorate the people of Liaodong!"
Yu Qian's eyes were extremely cold.
Niu Zhen's eyes widened, she had no idea that the commander had this idea!
"Commander, it is unlucky to kill prisoners!" He crawled to the ground in horror.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that killing prisoners is unlucky. To put it more recently, Chang Yuchun liked to kill surrendered soldiers, so Chang Yuchun unfortunately died at a young age.
Many famous generals in ancient times suffered retribution for killing prisoners and surrendering.
"I'm not afraid, handsome!"
"These people are beasts! Are they humans?"
Yu Qian roared angrily: "God's punishment is coming, and I will bear it!"
But Niu Zhen was lying on the ground: "The last general has a low life, the last general is willing to bear the burden for the commander, the last general is willing!"
Many generals in the camp knelt down and cried sadly.
Yu Qian turned around.
Another battle was won.
The Karaqin tribe surrendered and could not accept prisoners, turning Hu into Han.
Because these people are stained with the blood of the people of Liaodong, the people of Liaodong will not be willing to be neighbors with these executioners.
Moreover, these people are all beasts, beasts who specialize in attacking the common people!
How can such people be allowed to continue to be human beings?
What's more, from a war perspective, these prisoners were too much for the Ming army to eat.
There should be about 30,000 people left in the Karaqin tribe, and the Liaodong Army has lost 70,000 people. Now that Liaodong Town is in ruins, incorporating these people into the Liaodong Army will make the Liaodong Army become barbaric.
The gain outweighs the loss.
There is another layer.
Yu Qian's military exploits were too great.
First they destroyed the Wala tribe, then defeated 140,000 elite Tatar troops, and now they have captured and surrendered 30,000 Karaqin troops.
He can no longer be described as a master of martial arts.
But there is no reward.
Even if the emperor is a wise and holy king, he doesn't know what to reward Yu Qian with!
He is a human subject after all.
No matter how tolerant the emperor is, can he really trust such an unfaithful minister as him?
Aren't you afraid that Yu Qian would rise up and overthrow the Ming Dynasty?
Even if you are not afraid, you must still be on guard.
Therefore, Yu Qian must desecrate himself, do his duty as a minister, and make things easier for the emperor, so that he can survive.
Yu Qian smiled bitterly. He had lived for sixty years, but he never thought that such a day would come. He couldn't help but sigh.
"Go do it!"
This is Yu Qian's way of protecting himself.
Killing prisoners and surrendering will weaken Yu Qian's military exploits.
By then, he will be famous for his fierceness in Qian, cut himself off from civil servants, have no contact with Wu Xun, and reduce his own team to the lowest level. The emperor will naturally still use him.
"Go and report your victory to His Majesty!"
Two orders were conveyed.
One light and one dark.
The secret letter ordered the prisoners to be killed and the capital to be built.
Li Xian's eyes widened: "What does the Taibao want to do?"
"Is he going to be king?"
He knew the subtleties and immediately understood Yu Qian's profound meaning.
It’s over!
Once Yu Qian becomes the leader of the honorable ministers, the power of the civil servants will inevitably be reduced, and the mysterious power will become a pool of stagnant water like water without a source.
Hu Hui alone in the DPRK cannot support the civil service group.
Li Xian's eyes were sharp: "I must return to Beijing! Return to Beijing!"
Yu Qian!
To betray the civil service group.
Li Xian saw this and immediately wrote to Jingzhong to ask Jingzhong to prepare in advance...
Wait, stop Yu Qian.
If Yu Qian is left among the civil servants, he will not be able to do martial arts. He will never do it!
In the past, when civil servants were powerful, Yu Qian was just a drop in the ocean.
Things are different now. The emperor continues to send cabinet ministers to local areas and train new people in the central government, which leads to the continuous weakening of the civil service group.
As a high-ranking official in the civil service and in charge of the military, Yu Qian could suppress the imperial power by joining forces with Hu Hui in Beijing.
However, as Yu Qian became more successful, things became different.
If the emperor picks up the butcher's knife now and kills Yu Qian.
No one can say anything, but the world will be extremely peaceful.
Because Yu Qian's contribution was so great, so great that even Li Xian was frightened when he heard it.
Don't think of the Mobei tribes as weak chickens.
From the Xuande Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was no longer a match for the Mobei tribes. The Ming Dynasty only had the role of defending the city, and was even left to the control of the Mobei tribes.
But Yu Qian defeated one part of Wala first and forced Wala to retreat.
Then they defeated 140,000 Tatar elite soldiers and defeated the Tatars.
Now, they have besieged the Bolai tribe and surrendered the Karaqin tribe.
Three major victories in a year! Killed more than 200,000 Hu soldiers!
Shocking the past and the present!
His military exploits are as good as those of Xu Da and Chang Yuchun!
If the emperor kills Yu Qian, everyone in the world will be silent.
Because Yu Qian's contribution was so great that he could not be rewarded. If such a person was killed for no reason, it would be really hard to say anything.
Not killing him would be a strange thing.
Therefore, Yu Qian is desecrating himself.
He wanted to kill prisoners and surrender, and allowed the Kong family to be besieged. Not only did he not save them, he also ordered that the safety of the Kong family should not be concerned.
This is self-indulgence from civil servants.
If he falls in love with Wu Xun, it is certain that the emperor will make him a duke and give him a title after his death.
Only in this way will the emperor feel at ease with Qian.
Li Xian discovered that Yu Qian was forced into a dead end by himself.
The military exploits were so great that they became shackles.
"Execute it!"
Li Xian asked the Karaqin soldiers to dismount and give up their weapons and accept the surrender.
Fushun, Liaoyang, Li Xian and Lu Yuan were all trying to collect and surrender the Karaqin troops.
But outside Gaizhou.
But Borai did not agree to lay down his weapons and accept surrender.
Because he was worried that the Ming Dynasty would be capricious, and without weapons, the Haraqin soldiers would have no power to resist.
Besides, they surrendered, not were captured!
"How can I, the Ming Dynasty, be a capricious villain?" Cao Yi came to the Bolai camp in person, bringing only two guards with him.
Bo Lai looked at Cao Yi, the two of them were really old acquaintances.
Bo Lai frequently harassed Liaodong, but Cao Yi repulsed them all.
"this……"
"What is this? Daming always keeps his word!"
Cao Yi said confidently: "You have been dealing with Daming for so many years. When has Daming ever stopped talking? You think about it yourself!"
"Hmph, do you think the mighty dynasty is just those capricious little tribes on your grassland?"
"It's ridiculous!"
Cao Yi's back was covered in cold sweat.
He had already made a mistake. If he couldn't successfully recruit him this time, he would definitely miss the title.
Therefore, he went deep into the enemy camp and negotiated with Bo Lai personally.
Bolai looked at Cao Yi's frank face.
Indeed, Ming Dynasty is the most trustworthy.
It took the Ming Dynasty nearly a hundred years to establish Xinyi.
It is difficult to put up, but extremely easy to destroy.
Once Ming breaks the contract, the credibility of Ming's century-old operation will completely collapse.
Besides, there are still 30,000 soldiers and horses left in the Haraqin tribe. These people have the Ming Dynasty inside, which is a huge combat power and can help the Ming Dynasty attack the Tatars, Jurchens, and Uliangha.
"Come on, you have the Ming Dynasty inside you, at least you should be awarded the title of Marquis!"
When Cao Yi mentioned the title, his eyes lit up: "That's a hereditary marquis. I've wanted to earn a count my whole life. If you join me, you can get a marquis!"
When the title was mentioned, Borai's mind became active: "Can I be crowned king?"
"Are you not crazy?"
Cao Yi sneered: "Are you from the Golden Family? Are you worthy of being crowned a king? You are just dreaming!"
But Bo Lai wanted to say that if he surrendered to his family first, wouldn't your Ming Dynasty also grant you the title of king?
Can that be the same?
If we don't seal it, people will attack Ming Dynasty. Ming Dynasty is afraid, so we can only seal it.
Besides, that's just a short-selling king, just in name.
You are not a marquis who wants to enter the palace and ask for a title, and you will retire with the country.
"Then the Duke will do it too!" Bolai thought to himself and got an igniter from Daming.
Two people have their own thoughts.
Cao Yi was too lazy to pay attention to him: "Hurry up and make people put down their weapons. I am still very busy. When I see His Majesty, you can bargain with His Majesty."
Come and eat a soft nail.
I asked many more questions.
Cao Yi answered him one by one without making any mistakes.
Borai thought about it, drank a few sips of wine, and hesitated for an hour before asking his subordinates to put down their weapons and surrender.
But he didn't realize that Cao Yi's face was stiff.
Cao Yi asked someone to take over.
"Come on, come and have a drink in my tent." Cao Yi invited with a smile.
But he declined because he was at ease in his own camp.
result.
At night, his camp was attacked.
Bolai was dragged out.
"What are you going to do!"
Borai was extremely frightened: "I am the Marquis of Ming Dynasty, what are you going to do!"
"You're a fucking monkey, so return it to the Marquis! You deserve it!"
Cao Yi was wearing armor and holding a sword in his hand, staring at him with cold eyes.
"I have surrendered, we are a family!" Bolai exclaimed.
"Who is your family? You idiot!"
Cao Yi laughed loudly: "I lied to you! Idiot!"
"Why did Ming Dynasty go back on his promise? Don't you want to lose your reputation? Don't want to be moral? Why!" Bolai was really confused.
Didn't the Duoyan Three Guards back then also have such a built-in body?
In the Yongle Dynasty, how many Mongols fought for the Ming Dynasty.
Why do you want to refuse the surrender of the Karaqin tribe now? Why?
"Morality? Reputation?"
Cao Yi sneered: "Of course!"
"Bo Lai, you have to understand that this is the territory of the Ming Dynasty. No one outside the country knows what agreement you have reached with us!"
"As for how you died!"
"Of course I was defeated and died in battle!"
"Your head is my title!"
Cao Yi laughed proudly.
I never expected that the title would come so easily.
But Bolai heard the screams one after another.
"What are you doing?" Bolai became more and more frightened.
"Behead!"
Cao Yi laughed: "Since it's a war, it's natural to use your head for military merit!"
Bolai's eyes widened and his eyes were cracked: "Cao Yi! You bastard! I'm going to kill you!"
But he was suppressed by four soldiers.
In anger, blood flowed from his eyes, nostrils, and ears.
Those are all his people!
It was he who ordered them to lay down their weapons and surrender!
As a result, they all became dead souls!
It's all his fault!
It's all his fault!
Yu Qian is so cruel. He doesn't want the prisoners of the Haraqin tribe at all. He wants to kill the Haraqin tribe!
Why?
Borai couldn't figure it out at all.
Is it for those assholes? It shouldn't be.
"Bolai, you still don't know that the 140,000 Tatar troops besieged Daning, but were defeated by the commander in one battle. All 140,000 elite troops were lost in Daning City!"
Cao Yi said coldly: "Tell me, why did we recruit you?"
"There will be no war in the entire Mobei for twenty years."
"What do I need you for?"
Bolai's eyes widened and he didn't react for a long time: "You, what did you say?"
Cao Yi ignored him.
"You're lying to me, you're lying to me!"
Bolai roared: "Impossible, impossible!"
How could the Tatars be defeated?
There are 140,000 elite soldiers. The Ming Dynasty needs a million troops to keep them here.
But are there so many people in Ming Dynasty?
impossible!
I won't believe it even if I die.
However, if there was still a threat from the north, how could Yu Qian order the killing of prisoners?
The Karaqin tribe has surrendered.
We can fight the Tatars for you...
Could it be...
"The commander-in-chief has issued an order to build a temple with your heads as a memorial to the people of Liaodong!"
Cao Yi said coldly: "And your head is worth a lot of money!"
"Your Majesty will like it when he sees it!"
An ax was placed on Bolai's neck, intending to chop off his head.
"No, no!"
Facing life and death, Bolai was frightened: "Cao Yi, let me go, let me go..."
Any hero will turn into a bear before dying.
"I still have a secret!"
Bo came to look at Cao Yi and said, "As long as you let me go, I will tell you the secret in my heart. Please let me go!"
Cao Yi spent so many words just waiting for this secret.
He knelt down and said, "Tell me, who brought you here?"
Bolai's eyes widened and he looked at Cao Yi in disbelief. Did he know?
"I said, can you spare me?" Borai's face was full of horror.
Only by living can he return to the tribe and regroup. He didn't want to die.
"You speak first."
Bolai still wanted to bargain, but when the ax was pressed down, a line of blood appeared on his neck, and severe pain hit him: "It's the Kong family! It's the Kong family!"
Cao Yi asked him to write a confession.
But he didn't understand Chinese and needed a translator.
After finishing writing.
Cao Yi took a look, with a cold smile on his face: "Send him on his way."
"Cao Yi, you are treacherous!" Bolai shouted.
"Your Majesty wants to see you by name. How can a minister dare to disobey His Majesty's imperial edict?"
Cao Yi sneered: "Of course, this meeting is not to see your body, but to see your head."
"Your body will be hung on the city gate and despised by the people of Liaodong!"
Click!
Bo Lai's head was chopped off.
His pupils were full of unwillingness and resentment.
However, the Haraqin tribe came to an end at its most glorious moment.
The armies began to build Jingguan.
Cao Yi sent an order to unblock all the cities in Liaodong, and ordered the garrison in each city to search for the remaining Tatar soldiers and kill them without mercy, leaving no one behind.
Liaodong in the early morning of the next day.
On the vast plain, it makes people’s scalp numb.
Jingguan is everywhere.
Tragedy fills the land.
After the people in the city left the city, they began to look for their relatives in the countryside, but found that they could not find them. On the entire plain, every family wore white hangings and everyone wore mourning.
Originally, they should hate the imperial court in their hearts.
The imperial court didn't care about the lives of the people at all.
The Tatar soldiers were allowed to burn, kill, and plunder. The defenders of each city only guarded the city walls and ignored the people outside the city.
Even if there were people begging for the door to be opened under the city gate, they were ignored. In the end, these people became corpses in the moat.
The offensive and defensive battle that lasted for nearly two months set Liaodong back twenty years.
but.
Seeing the imperial officials everywhere, the people of Liaodong suddenly no longer hated them.
Great revenge must be avenged.
The Tatar soldiers who harmed their families all died on this plain.
Then, Gaizhou City opened, but many people walked on land, walked into the sea to enter Beijing, and sued the royal!
They ignore the perspective on the road, only the anger in their hearts ...
