Tumen Khan was very unhappy these days. ^^
Su Bahai's refusal to follow him on the right wing was the first thing that made him unhappy. The second thing that made him unhappy was that both Dong Hu and Chang Ang of the Duoyan tribe were unwilling to be recruited from them. Leng said that both Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang were strengthening their military preparations and had the intention of attacking his troops.
Tumen was annoyed that Dong Hu said that Li Chengliang might want to beat him, because his old camp was near Jianchang, the upper reaches of the Daling River in Liaoning, and Li Chengliang's seat of government in Guangning was not too far away from him. .
But Chang Ang said that Qi Jiguang wanted to beat him, which made Tumen very angry.
You have to be reasonable when you fart. How many times did Qi Jiguang go out to fight? He is a general who is good at infantry warfare, and he does not have many serious cavalry under his command. If he goes out to fight against you, will you help him transport the baggage he needs?
This is simply unreasonable! He didn't want to send troops to help Ben Khan, but he could find such a weak excuse.
Now it was better. He went out to fight as the Great Khan of Mongolia. He sent orders everywhere to recruit troops. After a long time, no one came. He could only take the 60,000 chahar troops to Tumut. There was no prestige at all.
Tumen was secretly furious. After defeating the weakling Han Naji this time, he must firmly control Tumut in his hands. When the time comes, he has such a strong support as Tumut, and he wants to see who else can't. Convinced, who else dares to go against my will!
But what Tumen didn't know was that Li Chengliang, whom he thought might send troops, did indeed send troops, and Qi Jiguang, who he thought was impossible, also sent troops!
However, the two of them sent troops this time somewhat beyond everyone's expectations. ,
First of all, Li Chengliang did not go directly to fight Dong Fox. Instead, he left Taipingbao and went straight to Chahanhot.
Secondly, Qi Jiguang did not have trouble with Chang'ang. Instead, he set out from Shanhaiguan and inexplicably captured the Dragon King Temple not far northwest of Shanhaiguan. He was stuck between Chang'ang and Dong Hu, who were theoretically Duoyan guards.
Chahanhot is a little far away. Although Li Chengliang's troops are all cavalry, they won't be able to arrive for a while, so they will put it aside for now and talk about Qi Jiguang's side first.
The Dragon King Temple that Qi Jiguang captured is not a strategic location. For the Mongolian cavalry, it is not a strategic location. It is not the Tumut side. Farming has begun, and there are big plans to rise to the city and return to the city. A must-defend place like Huacheng.
The Dragon King Temple is just a small place that imitates the Han people's way of holding a few markets. The goods in the market are relatively miscellaneous, including Jurchen specialty furs and ginseng, Mongolian cattle, sheep and horses, and Ming Dynasty's various products. Some products are also smuggled in.
But the market itself is not big, and Qi Jiguang does not seem to occupy it to rob the Ming army. He is also capable of plundering, especially when it comes to robbing Mongolians. He is also not lenient at all, but generally there is no chance.
However, Qi Jiguang didn't care about looting. He just drove away the Mongolian and Jurchen traders here like driving lambs, and then stayed here without moving.
Both Dong Hu and Chang Ang got the news quickly.
Chang'ang was shocked, thinking that Qi Jiguang was really going to send troops to attack him, so he hurriedly summoned his troops and sent an envoy to see Qi Jiguang, asking him that he had been keeping his peace since he redeemed his uncle Changbald and restored market tribute with the Ming Dynasty. Why did the governor raise an army to invade?
Qi Jiguang received the envoy with a smile and said to the envoy: Now that the spring is beautiful, I will go out to see the scenery. Commander Chang'ang does not need to pay attention. After seeing the scenery, I will naturally go back.
Chang'ang's envoy asked around but couldn't tell the truth. He just ran back to report in confusion, saying that Qi Jiguang claimed to be here to see the scenery.
Chang Ang naturally didn't believe it, but he didn't believe it. Qi Jiguang really didn't come to kill him. The Dragon King Temple was a small market formed by itself. Chang Ang didn't even send anyone to collect taxes. Although that place was supposedly his territory. , but there is really no interest related.
Moreover, Qi Jiguang did not kill anyone. Even if he sent someone to Yanjing of the Ming Dynasty to complain, it seems that Qi Jiguang could only say that Qi Jiguang entered his "defense zone" without authorization, which is of little significance.
But Qi Jiguang being stuck in this position really made him unhappy, because it showed that he could only stay at home and guard against Qi Jiguang's further moves. If he went northwest to attack Kuanhe or Fuyu, it would not be good.
In fact, when Qi Jiguang moved his troops here, Dong Hu was more nervous than Chang Ang.
The news received by Dong Hu's troops was more urgent than that from Chang'ang because on one side Qi Jiguang sent troops to occupy his right wing, and on the other side Li Chengliang sent troops to "pass by" on his left wing.
Although it seems that Qi Jiguang "didn't move" and Li Chengliang "passed by", how can such a thing be said well? If Qi Jiguang suddenly came to the northeast and Li Chengliang turned to the southwest, wouldn't he be outflanked by two directions?
The other parties are Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang! He, Dong Fox, couldn't beat one of them, and now he's coming from both sides. How can he not be nervous?
To put it bluntly, if Qi Jiguang had set up a majestic formation and Li Chengliang's cavalry cooperated in the encirclement and suppression, let alone Dong Hu, even if Tumen Khan turned around and rushed back, it's hard to say whether he would dare to fight!
Didn’t the Han people talk about one right and one strange and how to use troops? This is it!
Therefore, Dong Hu was even more nervous than Chang Ang. While he sent people to ask Qi Jiguang what was going on, he also sent people to find Li Chengliang to ask what was going on.
Qi Jiguang was easy to find, but Qi Jiguang's reply was still nonsense, and he told him that he was here to see Chunguang.
Li Chengliang is even more troublesome. He can't even be found and is lost!
Dong Huxu became even more nervous now, fearing that one night he would wake up and find that the old camp had been trampled by Li Chengliang.
There was nothing he could do. Dong Hu sent someone to deliver a message to Su Baohai who was helping Tumen Khan guard Chahanhot, telling him that Li Chengliang had gone to Chahanhot and asking him to be careful. At the same time, he also said that his place was extremely dangerous and hoped that He can come to help and give his brother a hand.
Su Bahai was originally worried about Li Chengliang, but his report was sent back in time, telling him that Li Chengliang only brought about 15,000 cavalry out of the customs, and the rest of the army remained in Guangning.
This time, Su Banghai felt much more relaxed. Although Li Chengliang was powerful, fifteen thousand people would not be able to do anything to him.
Subahai Town guarded Chahanhot, but he brought almost the entire Inner Khalkha mobile force, more than 30,000 of them. This was the force he originally planned to go south to rob "a large amount of materials shipped from Shanhaiguan to Liaodong."
Therefore, he quickly thought about it and decided to move the entire army south. Since there was nothing to rob in Chahanhot, the Great Khan's troops all moved north.
This decision to rush Hai became the key to his death. 11
