The news of the "fleeing Han people" was successfully transmitted back to the north bank of the Liaohe River, but it was not early when the news was delivered to Tumen and Chaohua, almost at dawn.
The reason was that Tumen and Chaohua had already arrived near Hanjiawan, which was about a hundred miles north and east of Sanchahe Pier. The messenger sent by the remaining part of the Mongolian army also ran very fast for most of the night before catching up. Tumen them.
After receiving the news, Tumen was overjoyed. He looked up to the sky and laughed three times: "Okay, okay, okay! This is what the Han people often say. If you don't take the road to heaven, there will be no way to hell!"
You are so pragmatic, you are as cunning as a fox, and you will be captured by me this time, and you will be ripped off with cramps...Eh? Wait, Burihatu, tell me, if Ben Khan captures Gao Pragmatic, what is the best way to deal with it? Should he kill this guy to relieve Ben Khan's hatred, or should he bring him to Emperor Mingren in exchange for some benefits? "
Burihatu looked hesitant and refused to speak for a long time.
Tumen Khan slowly frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Are there any problems in this battle?"
"That's not the case." Burihatu frowned and said: "As long as the opponent has fallen into the trap, our Mongolian army's success in crossing the river should be certain. But even if we successfully cross the river, we have to pass through the Sancha River from near Hanjiawan. Dongsheng Fort, although there is not as many generals stationed here as Dongchang Fort, it is still an important part of the Liaodong Great Wall, and it may not be possible to defeat it in one go...
Even if it comes down at once, there will still be a lot of time lost in the process. As long as the defenders of Dongsheng Fort are not stupid enough, they will definitely send someone to notify the Sancha River Pier. When the time comes, Gao Pragmatic will be protected by the cavalry under his hands. Most likely you can escape. Besides, even if he doesn't escape by land and enters the river by boat, we can't catch him. If that doesn't work, we can only look at the river and sigh. "
Tumen was dumbfounded when he heard this, and then cursed bitterly: "These damn ships!" Then he sighed: "Originally, Ben Khan wanted to exchange Gao Pragmatic for you and Abu and the others..."
Burihatu was moved in his heart, but he couldn't say he was moved because he knew what Tumen was thinking. He didn't have much affection for the "descendants of Dayan Khan". He wanted to exchange high pragmatism for Xin Ai's only love. The reason is that Xin Ai has a lot to live in.
With Xin Ai in hand, Han Naji would have to worry about his "incorrect position", and there would be a crack in the relationship between him and Daming.
Speaking of which, why didn't Daming have such thoughts when he held Xin Ai in his hands? I just regard Han Naji as a die-hard fan, and I think that it is impossible for me to betray Da Ming, and Da Ming has no chance to "use" Xin Ai.
On the contrary, if Daming really handed Xin Ai over to him, it would be really difficult to deal with it - if he killed her, it would appear that he was narrow-minded; if he didn't kill her, he would always be a threat.
Tumen can naturally understand the relationship between this, so if he has the opportunity, he will be happy to take Xin Ai and his son into his own hands.
In fact, the main reason why he attaches so much importance to Buri Hatu is that he feels that Buri Hatu's brain is indeed the best among his subordinates, but there is also another reason, that is, Buri Hatu is Son of Xin Ai.
Even if Xin Ai's son is not the eldest son, as long as his previous brothers are dead or "treasonous", he will still have the right to inherit Tumut.
But now Burihatu's statement shattered his dream, and he found that he had indeed thought too well.
As for Gao Pragmatic, judging from his performance during the Monan War, he was a man who was greedy for life and afraid of death. Except for the fact that during the Battle of Shacheng, he relied on the indestructible Yuanzhongdu Old City to withstand a wave of Besides, he has always been hiding behind the scenes and commanding, with no warrior spirit at all. It’s simply... Bah!
But they just lack the means to deal with Gao Pragmatic's style of play. To use a not-so-nice Chinese saying, it's like a dog bites a hedgehog and has nowhere to bite.
There was clearly a chance to defeat Gao Jingjing before him, but he actually had two ways to run, one of which was beyond the reach of Tumen. At this moment, Tumen felt that Gao Jingjing dared to go to Sanchahe Wharf in person to do it. It's good because that place is more convenient to escape than Gaizhou.
"Forget it, let's let this go first." Seeing that Burihatu didn't speak, Tumen said in a bored tone: "Let's cross the river first, break the Dongsheng Fort and enter the south of the Great Wall." [Note: The Great Wall here is It is the eastern border wall of Ming and Liao Dynasties, but this Great Wall was built to resist Mongolia. Later, it had basically no positive significance for Nurhaci. Instead, it facilitated the Jianzhou Tatars' later war against Mongolia. ]
Burihatu just nodded silently.
In fact, he felt a little uneasy after hearing that the pragmatic Gao was at the Sancha River dock, but he never figured out where the uneasiness came from, so he acted a little too silent.
Chaohua Taiji was open-minded and said with a smile: "Gao is pragmatic. If you can catch it, catch it. If you can't catch it, it's not a big deal. After all, the Sancha River Pier is close to Dongsheng Fort. As long as we cross the Liao River and break the Dongsheng Fort, Shengbao, even if he can escape immediately, he will definitely be frightened out of courage, and he may have to retreat when he hears the great Khan's reputation in the future."
After all, Chaohua is someone who has never been severely beaten by Gao Jingjing. He has no personal experience with the kind of things Gao Jingjing showed in the Monan battle, so he said this very easily.
On the other hand, Tumen Great Khan himself felt that his face was not good, because the last time he fought against Gao Pragmatic, it was his Zasak Tuhan who escaped in the end.
Tumen casually dealt with it for a few words, and then a Mongolian scouting horse came to report back. In fact, it was not a "horse hunting". They took a newly assembled raft to the river to look at the forms on the other side. Maybe it should be called a exploring raft. ?
"Dahan, there are no Ming warships in the river, but the fog is too heavy and the river wind is blowing. Our raft is not easy to maneuver, so we didn't go ashore. We came back to report the good news."
In late autumn in Liaodong, fog is common on the river, not to mention it is still the darkest hour before dawn. These Mongolians, who generally have poor water quality, are not willing to stay in the river for a long time, let alone go ashore to investigate. They must have taken a look at the other side. The boat felt that everything was fine and he could come back to announce the good news.
Burihatu felt something was wrong and said, "How could..."
Who knew that Tumen happened to speak at this moment and said with a smile: "It's fine if you don't have a boat. As long as you're not in the water, who will my Mongolian cavalry be afraid of?"
After hearing this, Chaohua nodded repeatedly and said proudly: "That's right, as long as I get to the other side, I'm really hoping that the Ming army will come up and die!"
Burihatu frowned, even a little displeased, and said to himself: I thought that the Great Khan should make some progress if he read some books, but now it seems that it is far from enough. Sun Tzu said: Soldiers are important matters of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival. They must be observed. I don't know what's going on on the other side, so I'm so complacent and think I'm invincible in land warfare. How can I be a commander? Speaking of being invincible, who won the last battle in Monan?
He looked solemn and was about to say something to stop him. Unexpectedly, after hearing what Chao Hua said, the Tumen were very satisfied and waved their hands: "Cross the river! This Khan will definitely plunder all Liaonan this time!"
