Jierharang may not know the idiom "a tree cannot support itself alone", but he still understands the truth.
At this time, let Mang Gurtai and his son deal with Tong Yangxing. From now on, Mang Gurtai will really have the final say in this army.
With so few people in Xianglan Banner, it is impossible for him to compete with the combined forces of Zhenglan Banner and Han soldiers.
"You mean, Mu Tai's death was in vain!" Mang Gur Tai said coldly.
Jilharang said without giving in: "The person who killed Mu Tai was a tiger thief. This grudge should be brought back to the tiger thief. Instead of dealing with one's own generals on the battlefield, it will only make the relatives angry and the enemies happy."
"The tiger thief's account must be settled, but the account of Tong Yangxing's trap and death of Mu Tai cannot be let go." Mang Gurtai bit Tong Yangxing and refused to let go, insisting on punishing Tong Yangxing for his crime.
Jierhalang said: "If Da Beile wants to punish the crime, he must let the Great Khan decide. Besides, E Bi Lun has also gone, and Mu Tai's death cannot be attributed to Tong Yangxing alone. Da Beile must insist on punishing Tong Yangxing." If they commit any crime, we will treat them equally and send E Bilun and Tong Yangxing to Shengjing to be dealt with by Shengjing."
"Why, the person who killed Mu Tai was Tong Yangxing, why did he send me to Shengjing?" E Bilun quit immediately.
Jierhalang turned to look at him and said, "Tong Yangxing will accompany you back to Shengjing. Whether he is guilty or not will be decided by Shengjing. It is fair to both you and Tong Yangxing."
"I won't go, whoever wants to go can go." E Bilun shook his head.
He didn't want to go to Shengjing.
If he stays here in Jinzhou, he will be the leader of the army. Not only will he have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, but no one will dare to bully him. But when he arrives in Shengjing, not only will the chance to make meritorious deeds disappear, but the number of people who are qualified to ride on him will be even greater. If there are too many, how can I feel comfortable staying here in Jinzhou?
Jierhalang was too lazy to look at Ebilun anymore and looked at Mang Gurtai.
The person who can really make the decision is Mang Gurtai.
At this time, Mang Gurtai's face was very ugly.
Even if Tong Yangxing is sent to Shengjing, he will be punished, it will not be too serious, but E Bilun will definitely be punished as well, which is something he does not want to see.
Unless you don't send two people to Shengjing.
After hesitating for a moment, Mang Gurtai turned to look at Tong Yangxing and said: "Tong Yangxing, I will spare you for now. I hope you can make meritorious service. Otherwise, even if you return to Shengjing, I will hold you accountable again. "
In the end, he decided to protect E Bilun.
"Thank you Dabeile." Mang Gurtai bowed in front of Tong Yangxing and said thank you.
I breathed a sigh of relief, finally dodging a disaster.
"Amma, we can't just let him go!" E Bi Lun immediately became anxious after Mang Gurtai spared Tong Yang Xing.
This is different from what was discussed before.
Mang Gurtai did not look at E Bilun, but said to Jierhalang and Tong Yangxing: "Both of you, please step back. There are still many things to do tomorrow, so we must not delay the important event."
"I'll take my leave."
Jierhalang and Tong Yangxing left Mang Gurtai's tent together.
As soon as the two people came out, Tong Yangxing immediately said gratefully to Jierhalang: "Thank you, deputy commander. If you hadn't arrived in time, Dabeile would have had an operation on me."
He knew that Mang Gurtai had murderous intentions towards him.
The reason was that he did not follow Mang Gurtai's wishes to storm Jinzhou City, but chose to withdraw his troops and support Jierhalang's suggestion to besiege Jinzhou City.
In addition, the death of Zhenglan Banner's right-hand man Mu Tai gave Mang Gurtai the opportunity to take action.
Mang Gurtai wanted to have the final say in the army alone and did not dare to touch Jierhalang, who was also the banner leader. He, the first-class commander-in-chief of the Han army, naturally became the best target to attack.
"It wasn't a big mistake in the first place. It was Dabeile who was nitpicking." Jierhalang comforted Tong Yangxing.
He was able to successfully take over as the leader of the Xianglan Banner after Amin was imprisoned, and he was not afraid of Huang Taiji. He was naturally not the kind of short-sighted person.
He understood why Mang Gurtai had to deal with Tong Yangxing.
Preserving Tong Yangxing means preserving his right to speak in the army as the leader of the Xianglan Banner.
Tong Yangxing shook his head and said with a wry smile: "If you hadn't come forward, I would definitely be punished by Big Beile."
"Stop talking, go back and calm down the panic. The Han army still needs you to keep an eye on it. If Big Beile is causing trouble for you, you can send someone to find me." Jierhalang reached out and patted Tong Yangxing on the shoulder.
In his eyes, Mu Tai's death was not important at all.
The death of Mu Tai also weakened Mang Gurtai's right-hand man. When the Khan heard the news, he might be happy and drink two more drinks.
Now that the two red flags and the inlaid blue flag have been cleared away, only the Zhenglan flag has not been cleared away. He does not believe that Huang Taiji does not want to deal with the Zhenglan flag.
Tong Yangxing said: "No matter what happens, I will remember your kindness. If you need Han soldiers in the future, just say hello."
"Easy to say, easy to say." Jierhalang laughed.
Isn't it just to win over Tong Yangxing and prevent the Han soldiers in the army from turning to Mang Gurtai?
The two men soon separated and returned to their respective camps.
Starting from the next day, the army of slave thieves no longer took the initiative to attack Jinzhou City, but dug trenches outside Jinzhou City, obviously trying to trap the people in Jinzhou City to death.
Zhao Wu led a group of officers to the city wall.
"How's the situation outside?"
"The slave thieves are still digging trenches and want to completely block us so that they can attack our reinforcements." Wang Ju said.
Every once in a while, military reports will be sent to each army and then distributed to each team.
The officers of the Tiger-Character Banner Army have long been familiar with the skills of slave-bandit soldiers and horses. Even many Tiger-Character Banner officers who have never fought against slave-bandits can analyze their movements through the movements of the slave-bandit army. Purpose.
Zhao Wu put down the monocular telescope in his hand, chuckled, and said: "If you want to encircle the area and call for reinforcements, you really think our tiger-character flag is the Ming army."
The strategy of encircling a point and calling for reinforcements is a good one, but it also needs to be divided into targets.
Although the Ming army had many soldiers and horses, most of them were ridiculous and incompetent people. They were only able to defend the city. In the field, they were no match for the slave thieves. Therefore, every time the slave thieves surrounded a point for reinforcements, they could easily deal with the Ming army that came to the rescue. , the Ming army did not dare to rescue anymore.
However, all this is based on the fact that the reinforcements are not strong enough.
The soldiers and horses of the Tiger Character Banner are different, because the Tiger Character Banner is not afraid of field battles with slaves and bandits, especially medium-scale battles involving more than 100,000 people and less than 100,000 people.
The logistics of the slave thieves cannot be compared with the tiger character flag. In terms of armor, the tiger character flag is ahead of this era, and it is not a little bit ahead of the slave thieves.
In addition, the tiger character flag is far more disciplined than the slave thieves.
It is impossible to raise the tiger flag without paying several times the casualties.
Unless a place can be found that can limit the power of the firearms in the Tiger Flag Army, the Tiger Flag can only be beaten passively and cannot fight back.
However, even if there is such a suitable place for an ambush, the generals leading the Tiger Character Banner are not fools, so they will not rush into it recklessly.
