Kukuhetun, glazed golden palace.
"...I, Emperor Chao, have personally brought 20,000 cavalry out of the border wall of Datong! But you don't have to be afraid, Khan. I am sending troops this time, not to attack the Han tribe, but to capture Wu Liangha. The eldest princess..."
The person who was speaking was the shameless great diplomat Zukefa. But even for a shameless person like him, his cheeks still felt a little hot when he said the words Zhu Youjian gave him. What is this thing called? The little emperor wanted to steal someone else's eldest widow, and he asked himself to inform him... just wait obediently and don't run away!
Could he be a wise king who did such a thing?
Also, Princess Wuliangha has quite a temper. She won’t behead her in anger, right?
As Zukfa spoke, he secretly took a look at Princess Wuliangha... Hey, why does this Princess Wuliangha look so happy? People are coming to rob you! Aren't you angry? Don't you want to kill someone? I'm quite happy, I'm so shameless!
"Zukefa, the little emperor really brought 20,000 cavalry to rob me?"
When Zukfa was slandering, the shameless princess had already started asking questions cheerfully.
"There are indeed 20,000!" Zukfa said with a straight face, "They are all cavalry..."
Wu Liangha turned to his elder brother, Hutu Dunhan with a sinister smile on his face and said: "Brother, I told you, the little emperor still likes me, have you seen...send 20,000 troops?" Come and rob them! They’re all cavalry! There haven’t been marriage robberies on this scale in the prairie for many years, right?”
After hearing what his sister said, Hutu Dunhan was convinced. He actually nodded and said with a smile: "My sister is indeed the pearl of the grassland. Of course she is loved by everyone. No wonder the emperor of the Southern Dynasties sent 20,000 troops to snatch her away. .....”
This... Although Zukofa can speak Mongolian and knows that marriage robbery is popular among Mongolians, it should only be done by ordinary people, right? Hutu Dunhan is the Great Khan, and Wuliangha is the eldest princess! With their status, why are they so happy when they hear that someone is coming to steal their marriage?
"Zukefa," Princess Wu Liangha asked with a smile, "Where did the little emperor say he wanted to rob me?"
What's the meaning? Do you still want to send yourself to a designated location? Zuko Faxin said: Do you want to prepare ropes, whips, etc.?
Zukefa still told Zhu Youjian the place where he agreed to kidnap the bride, "I want to kidnap the princess in Xiahaizi."
The so-called Xiahaizi is a lake. The Mongolians call it Daigentara, which is a saltwater lake. It is located in a long and narrow basin between Ma Tou Mountain and Manhan Mountain, very close to the border wall of Datong. Because the water and grass in this basin are fertile and surrounded by mountains, it is considered dangerous to defend. So after I paid tribute, it became a farm directly under the Shunyi Palace. The palace of King Shunyi was built beside Daigentala Lake, surrounded by fertile wheat fields.
Wu Liangha smiled and said to Lin Dan Batur: "Brother, are you relieved that the Emperor of Heaven will not come to Kukuhetun tomorrow? It seems that the Emperor of Heaven is here just for me... Why don't you just leave Dai?" The land of Gentala is granted to me. I will take my people there and let the emperor of tomorrow rob it. Then you can gather all the tribes on the right to come to Gentala to make an alliance with the emperor. In this way, we can insert the Han tribe on the right wing. The situation is considered stable!"
This idea seems a bit strange at first glance, but in fact it is quite consistent with the logic of respecting the strong on the grassland.
Now all the tribes on the right-wing grassland know the truth of the Battle of Datong - no matter whether the emperor of tomorrow is brave enough to win the three armies, he must have defeated the Han tribe miserably. Although I have a strong foundation, I can still withstand this loss.
But Hutu Tun Khan's already low prestige fell even lower because of this failure. Therefore, the right-wing Mongolian tribes who originally surrendered or avoided the Han tribe are now thinking of resisting Hutu Dun Khan.
A major anti-Chinese alliance is brewing!
However, Hutu Dunhan is not strong, and the Mongolian tribes on the right are even weaker. They would not dare to stand up and oppose the intervention of the Han tribe. They must find a thick leg to hug them.
And those who can serve as thick legs are none other than Ming Emperor Zhu Youjian and Dajin Tiancong Khan Huang Taiji.
While the Great Golden Taiji is far away, Emperor Zhu of the Ming Dynasty is close. If Emperor Zhu and Hutu Dun Khan colluded, the right-wing tribes would have nothing to think about.
Because Hutu Dunhan and Emperor Zhu could kill them if they tried hard enough!
And Hutu Dunhan had just beaten Zhu Youjian so badly, and then he took the initiative to send a girl, which seemed a bit embarrassing... He was orthodox from the Northern Yuan Dynasty and a direct descendant of Genghis Khan, so he couldn't be so cowardly!
That's why he deliberately told Zukefa that he wanted to marry his girl to some Chutu Khan, just to test Zhu Youjian's sincerity.
And Zhu Youjian led 20,000 troops to snatch the bride... This is so sincere!
This shows that Zhu Youjian attaches great importance to the blood of the direct line of the Golden Family! And it also raised the value of Princess Wu Liangha... Could the princess be unhappy? She is the woman that the little emperor sent 20,000 troops to snatch! Can it not be noble?
And this woman who was worth 20,000 cavalry to rob, finally gave her brother Hutu Dunhan a trick - to gather all the tribes to watch her being robbed!
This was the most glorious moment in her life. She wished all Mongolia could come and watch!
Moreover, it is also a good opportunity to promote the "Southern Emperor and Northern Khan" alliance.
"Okay!" Lindan Batur laughed and said to Zukefa, "Zu Envoy, Ben Khan's sister was willingly snatched away by the emperor of your country. This is a grassland custom, not a real robbery... .This Khan will then gather all the tribesmen and make an alliance with them at Daigentala and form an Anda. From now on, the Southern Emperor and the Northern Khan will share peace."
It’s the Southern Emperor and the Northern Khan! Zuke Faxin said: I, the young emperor of the Ming Dynasty, am the true Southern Emperor, and I am the best in the world in martial arts! Are you, Beihan, real? My hometown has been taken away... Is there such a Bei Khan?
...
"Great Khan, here is the Luanhe River, here is the Hala Hetao, here is Gubeikou, here is Xifengkou... As long as we occupy the front line of the Luanhe River and use Hala Hetao as a stronghold, we can attack Gu by heading west. From the north entrance, you can go to Xifengkou to the south. Gubeikou and Xifengkou are just big passes on the Jizhen Great Wall. Although they are dangerous, they can be bypassed, but the road is not easy to walk. We can completely attack in the east and attack in the west. The method is to pretend to attack Gubeikou and Xifengkou, attract the attention of the soldiers from the south of Ji Town, and then break through elsewhere."
In the Houjin Army camp in Keko Hetao, the person explaining to Huang Taiji the situation along the Jizhen Great Wall was a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. His name was Sun Degong. He was originally the favorite general of Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong, and was worshiped as a guerrilla in the Chinese army. Later, he led his troops to surrender to Nurhachi in the Battle of Guangning, and later led the troops to surrender to Xiangbai Banner. He has always been at the forefront of the confrontation between Hou Jin and Ming Dynasty, and is not very popular.
But this time the situation is different. Huang Taiji wants to take advantage of the Ming Dynasty's westward expedition to Datong to attack the border wall of Ji Town, so he needs a leading party who is familiar with the terrain.
Sun Degong once served in the Jizhen army and was very familiar with the situation at the Jizhen border wall.
"I heard that General Zhao Lijiao from Liao Town in the Southern Dynasty led a group of Liao soldiers to be transferred to Ji Town. The defenses at each entrance of the Great Wall in Ji Town must have been strengthened. I'm afraid it won't be easy to break, right?"
The speaker was a forty-year-old Zhuang Khan wearing Houjin Beile's court uniform. He had square faces, a mustache, and squinted eyes. He looked a bit like a Mongolian man on the grassland.
This guy's name is Mang Gurtai, the fifth son of Nurhaci and the leader of the Zhenglan Banner, Baylor. He was also one of the four Baylors conferred by Nurhaci when he was in Hetu'a** Base, ranking third, so he was called the Three Baylors.
Huang Taiji glanced at this three-beile (Huang Taiji himself was a four-beile), then looked at Sun Degong, and asked: "Can you get in?"
Sun Degong smiled and said: "Great Khan, Sanbeile, although this Zhao led the teaching is strong enough, the Liao Zhen army can also defend it. But the Great Wall is too long to hold up Ji Zhen... Even if we only count the section from Miyun to Shanhaiguan, It’s seven to eight hundred miles long. If we want to defend it tightly, even a hundred thousand troops won’t be enough! Then how many people are there under Zhao Lijiao’s command? How can we defend it?”
Huang Taiji nodded and said with a smile: "If I were the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty, I would definitely abandon the land in western Liaoning, withdraw the troops in the pass, and strictly guard the Great Wall in Ji Town. It's a pity that Zhu Youjian only abandoned half of western Liaoning... So it's There is not enough strength to defend the Jizhen Great Wall. So we will definitely be able to return with a full load this time!"
