Or because of his sudden awakening that day, Dayan Khan began to realize that they could no longer indulge in meaningless victories, so he "let go of the Ming army" in today's battle, and then followed them to the vicinity of Liangxiang County.
Along the way, they passed through more than a dozen villages, and the amount of food they plundered suddenly increased.
As soon as the urgent need was solved, Dayan Khan raised the tent to discuss the matter and released Ma Yiqian by the way.
"Great Khan, there are new movements in the direction of the capital. The young emperor of the Ming Dynasty sent garrison troops out of the city and also towards Liangxiang."
Dayan Khan wore a cloak and slowly circled around the simple sand table. His hoarse voice sounded again, "This attack on the Ming Dynasty. It is already impossible to capture the Ming Dynasty's capital here. We have lost troops and generals without knowing it." , this is really dangerous. However, it is also a good opportunity for the enemy to leave the city.
They must have seen us going to Liangxiang County, so they came to support us. I thought that one of the selected troops was pretending to attack Liangxiang County, while the other troops were lying in ambush halfway. Yesterday's victory is nothing. After defeating this Ming army, the little emperor will huddle inside and dare not act rashly! "
The so-called getting out of the predicament means not being arrogant or impetuous, and using victory after victory to change the unfavorable strategic situation bit by bit.
His main force is still intact, his morale is strong, and he is far away from the so-called desperate situation.
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Ma Yiqian proudly and said, "On the grassland, the ponies running every day are much stronger than the camels. Only after going through hardships can we become a real man. You, this person, have met a little He screams when things are difficult, which is really annoying.”
Ma Yiqian was so ridiculed that he was speechless.
Dayan Khan snorted softly and added: "But you still understand the Ming Dynasty, so I won't hold you accountable too much. But in the future, you must remember how to serve the Lord."
Most people cannot bear this humiliation.
Ma Yiqian also had the urge to "break the jar and smash it", but the fear of death enveloped him, just like when he was hiding under the prostitute's bed.
"...Yes, I understand."
"Okay! Then take action!" Dayan Khan nodded with satisfaction and said firmly after standing up.
"Wait a minute!" Ma Yiqian gritted his teeth and shouted.
"What do you want?"
"I would like to ask the Great Khan if he will attack the capital again?"
"Do not hit."
"Since there is no fight, do you have any plans to withdraw?"
"What do you want to say?"
"I want to say that if you want to retreat, retreat simply. The emperor of tomorrow is already dispatching troops and generals. The capital is not a place to stay for a long time. Therefore, I believe that we should capture Liangxiang when the reinforcements arrive, and then retreat resolutely! Moreover, also, Choose your retreat route carefully!"
The Tatars had just experienced a small victory, and this kind of statement was really infuriating.
Bals shouted angrily, "Father! You asked your son to kill this Ming army spy!"
"Slow down." Dayan Khan raised his hand, "Let him continue."
"The Great Khan has already seen King Qin's army in Yizhou and Laishui. Wouldn't the Emperor tomorrow mobilize King Qin's army from other places? Since the Great Khan has given up on the best strategy of threatening the capital, he will adopt the middle strategy. Instead of indulging in Yu and the Ming army decide the outcome. I know that the Great Khan said that the situation will change in victory; I also believe that the Great Khan will be invincible. But the problem is that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has hundreds of thousands of personal guards. The Great Khan has won this battle, and there will be another one. Will the situation really change?"
Dayan Khan hissed.
"It is not the case if we attack Liangxiang. After getting the money and food, the Great Khan can go anywhere. Whether to attack or not does not depend on the Ming army, but on the Great Khan."
The more Dayan Khan listened, the more he felt that something was wrong.
Liangxiang County does not have high walls and deep pools for defense, so it is extremely difficult to resist the Tatar army.
At this time, Wang Bing also received a report. The Huben Guards fought a battle with the enemy and were slightly defeated. They have now returned to Liangxiang County.
But he didn't care much about this failure, because it didn't affect the overall situation, but the emperor's imperial edict required him to rush to support as soon as possible, so he didn't dare to delay.
Zhang Yong reminded him that the Tatar army's movements were unknown after a victory, so marching like this was very risky.
But Wang Bing refused to listen, "It's unfounded to worry! The Tatars have always looted everywhere, this is their nature! The good land is right in front of us, how could they divide their troops and come to attack me again?"
…
In Dayan Khan's tent.
Ma Yiqian gave a more crucial reason,
"The Great Khan has been marching to this point and has fought several battles, but he has not gained much. The Great Khan is thinking about military supplies and food, but the soldiers are thinking about the looted goods, leaving the county town without fighting, and going to ambush like the Tiger Guards elite, is this really appropriate?"
"Mr. Ma's words woke up the dreamer." The last sentence was like the straw that broke the camel's back. Dayan Khan even became unexpectedly polite, "It was my fault that I was disrespectful to Mr. before! It's true! Liangxiang should be captured first!"
In fact, this is a choice.
Soldiers are indeed a key factor.
After capturing Liangxiang and grabbing the goods, morale will definitely reach its peak. So what if the Ming army comes over at this time? Firstly, he can choose not to fight, and secondly, even if he wants to fight, it will be easier to win when his morale is high.
…
…
On the other side, another day passed.
Ma Rong's eight thousand fine cavalry had passed through Yizhou, where he met Xue Si, the commander of the capital, and Chen Dabo, a student from the military academy who still admired him.
As soon as they met, Ma Rong heard that the Tatars were in Liangxiang County, so he continued on his way without stopping.
Yang Xing, the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, was faster.
Xu Zhenan, who was marching ahead, had arrived in the capital.
A decree from the emperor ordered them to go directly to Liangxiang.
Three armies, one hundred thousand soldiers and horses, are finally gathering.
But at this time, Zhu Houzhao was even more anxious.
According to the rules at this time, no matter how shrill the screams were in the delivery room, he could only wait outside, even if he came a little closer to take a look.
Even if Liu Jin kneels, she will still stand in front of him.
But Zhu Houzhao was really anxious. He kept beating his palms, "It's been more than three hours..."
Nothing will happen.
The main reason was that the medical methods at this time really made him panic. The hot water brought in by the maids inside and outside was clear, but what was brought out was blood.
Suddenly, the shouting stopped.
Zhu Houzhao was agitated and asked loudly: "What's wrong? Why is there no sound?"
A palace maid immediately ran out of the delivery room and knelt down, "Your Majesty, Yan Guiren fainted from pain!"
The pregnant sister also came out with a bulging belly. She was sweating nervously, "Your Majesty, my sister Ji Ren has her own destiny, and she will definitely pass this test!"
"You have to take care of yourself too. You two are born together." Zhu Houzhao stepped forward to support her and asked anxiously: "What did the doctor say? Think of something!"
"ah!!"
Suddenly there was Huaiyan's shrill cry again, but the sound at this time made people feel more at ease.
After that, another palace maid came out and said, "Your Majesty, Yan Guiren did not faint. He used up his last remaining strength!"
"well!"
Zhu Houzhao panted heavily and was very nervous.
The smile on one side also breathed a sigh of relief, but her hand holding Zhu Houzhao suddenly tightened, and her beautiful eyebrows also moved.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"
Zhu Houzhao took a look and realized that something was wrong. "Come here, come here!"
"Wow! Wow!"
Empress Dowager Zhang, who was still waiting outside the hospital, heard the cry and immediately couldn't control herself. "Quick! Go and see if he is the prince?"
