Chapter 26 Old Friend
"Haha." Feng Sheng reacted first and said, "I've been disturbing my dreams for a while. Each general will return to camp to appease the guards. That's all for today's drink."
Feng Sheng gave the order, and the generals who had just feasted and drank at the banquet stood up in unison and shouted: "Yes."
The difference can also be seen from this point.
Although it was a celebration banquet, and although most of the generals were addicted to alcohol, there were few who were really drunk enough to touch Bei. After all, this was on the battlefield, and the generals at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty had rich battlefield experience. Even if it was a celebration drink, he didn't drink it freely. Only Chang Mao is almost a two hundred and fifty.
Feng Sheng sent the generals away, and said to Nahachu with a smile: "We have just come here, and we are not familiar with the situation here. Please give me some advice from Nahachu."
Naha said, "I am humble enough to serve my country."
Feng Sheng laughed and said, "Let's talk in a different place."
Although the banquet was dispersed, the ground was in a mess, especially since Chang Mao had just been drunk and overturned some bottles and jars. It was really not a place to discuss important matters.
------
In Feng Sheng's tent. The only people who discuss important matters are Feng Sheng, Fu Youde, and Lan Yu. Naha comes out, Feng Cheng, and He Xi.
Feng Cheng is serving behind Feng Sheng. And He Xi also had something to report, so he stayed.
As soon as he arrived here, He Xi immediately said; "My lord, just heard that a military station on the Songhua River was looted. Ye Wang has already gone to deal with it. It will not affect the food route. But if it continues like this, it will be hard to tell." .”
Feng Sheng's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled and said to Naha: "Tell me. What's going on? You have been here for so many years. Don't tell me, you don't know who did it?"
Naha thought for a long time and said: "Since withdrawing from Guanzhong, the imperial court---no, the order of the remaining Yuan Dynasty has collapsed, and each of them has its own affairs. Although I am the Prime Minister of Liaoyang Province, the only people I can actually control are my own troops. These are just manpower. And Liaoyang Province is very large. Although it is a bitter cold land, there are also tribes. The large Jurchens have 30,000 people, and the small tribes have hundreds or even thousands of people, dozens or hundreds. It goes on and on. If you tangle them together, they will form a big army. But I can't do this, let alone others."
At this point, Nahachu suddenly thought of something and said, "Only him, only him. Yes, he must be here. Only he dares to do this."
Feng Sheng said: "Who?"
Naha came out and said: "Touyin Timur, in the current imperial court, no, he is the only one who dares to fight against the imperial court."
Feng Sheng sneered and said, "It turns out we are old friends."
He Xi didn't know who it was. Feng Cheng on the side whispered: "Wang Baobao's younger brother, after Wang Baobao's death, he will lead Wang Baobao's troops. Don't take a peek."
He Xi was stunned and thought to himself, "This is probably Bei Yuan's last fortune."
For Bei Yuan, the Wang Baobao family can be said to have been loyal to the Yuan Dynasty for generations. Wang Baobao's adoptive father was assassinated and died trying to pacify the Red Turban Army. Wang Baobao led his troops and fought against the Ming Dynasty until death. Each has his own victory or defeat with Xu Da. Although his younger brother is not as capable as his elder brother, he is also loyal to Yuan Ting. Unwavering.
Feng Sheng said he was an old friend, and he was indeed an old friend. His men were defeated on the battlefield.
When the imperial court launched the Northern Expedition, Wang Baobao misjudged the situation. He did not expect that the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition would go so smoothly. He decided to pacify Li Siqi in the northwest first, and then fight against the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, when the Ming Dynasty came over, he would be attacked from both sides, and there would be a big problem. .
Looking back in hindsight, Wang Baobao made the wrong decision. But from Wang Baobao's perspective at the time, it was a last resort. So he handed over Henan to his own brother. The purpose was to hold off the Ming army and wait for him to return after pacifying Li Siqi.
And his younger brother is now Tamerlane.
At that time, it was none other than Feng Sheng who moved westward with a partial force.
So Tuoyin Timur was defeated by Feng Sheng, and even Tongguan was lost.
They are true old friends, the kind of old friends who hate each other so deeply that they wish they could crush each other to pieces.
From this point of view, there is no one left in Yuanting. Because Tang He lost a battle many years ago, he could only sigh in despair at the important task of unifying the northern armies. But Timur lost his family fortune back then. As a result, Wang Baobao was completely passive. Even withdrawing from the Central Plains in the end had a lot to do with it. But now that such people can come out to lead the army, it can be seen that the Yuan army has no generals available.
Feng Sheng did not dare to neglect.
Just because Deyin failed for a while, it doesn't mean that Deyin has no ability. On the contrary, in critical moments, people like Wang Baobao can be trusted and entrusted with their backs, whether they are loyal or capable.
Sometimes we lose, not because the person is wrong. But the opponent is too strong.
Feng Sheng said: "Naha Chu, you go back and have a good rest. Don't think too much. The court still trusts you. By the way, your son should report his victory now. Don't keep your majesty waiting."
Naha left knowingly.
Wait for Naha to leave. Lan Yu spoke. Said: "Do the prisoners in the camp need to be dealt with?"
Feng Sheng said: "It cannot be dealt with. Otherwise, the court will not be able to explain it."
Lan Yu said: "If we don't deal with it, hundreds of thousands of prisoners will be in trouble. The enemy situation outside is unclear, and Tuoyin Timur is also a veteran. It is difficult to deal with. Now the enemy is in the dark and we are in the dark. Once something happens, the consequences will be disastrous."
It was only at this time that He Xi figured it out. Lan Yu said that the solution was to kill all the prisoners. My heart skipped a beat. Secretly I feel that Lan Yu's murderous intention is a bit too serious. Before this was done, hundreds of thousands of people were already ready to be killed.
However, He Xicai felt troubled when Lan Yu said what happened next.
Yes, it is not an easy task to take custody of hundreds of thousands of prisoners. The vast majority of Ming's troops have been contained. There are not many troops that can be mobilized. If there hadn't been any trouble caused by Chang Mao before, maybe we could relax a little more. But what Chang Mao did had already frightened Naha. At this moment, neither Feng Sheng nor anyone else, including He Xi, agreed to reduce the official system by reducing the troops.
Feng Sheng said leisurely: "Actually, the situation is not that bad. Tuoyin Timur has limited troops now, and they are quite limited. There are 50,000, so I am counting on them. After all, the residual Yuan is getting worse and worse now, and even now With Wang Baobao resurrected, it is no longer possible to fight another Lingbei battle with the imperial court."
"If Tuoyin Timur has enough troops, he can join forces with Naha. At that time, Naha will be strengthened. The war here can still be fought. Why now, Tuoyin Timur, will It only appeared after Naha Chu surrendered, for two reasons. First, his troops were not strong enough to suppress Na Ha Chu, and Na Ha Chu's qualifications were also very old. He was unwilling to do anything for Na Ha Chu. First of all, he did not have the strength to suppress Na Ha Chu. After the fighting started, he would direct the war in the name of reinforcements. Secondly, even he did not expect that Naha would surrender. He missed the opportunity."
He Xi also understood in her heart. The internal struggle of Can Yuan was much crueler than that of Ming Dynasty.
At least the internal disputes within the Ming Dynasty have been suppressed by Zhu Yuanzhang. It's not that great. After the death of Emperor Yuan Shun and his son, the title of emperor of the Yuan Dynasty was greatly reduced. The authority is gone and the princes are divided. It is more difficult to cooperate with each other.
He Xi couldn't help but ask, "Then why did he come out at this time?"
Feng Sheng smiled slightly and said: "It's because of what Yongchang Hou said just now. He saw the fighter plane, but I guess his fighting spirit is not strong. He just tested it first. Is there a chance and can he fight? That's why It’s cloudy and foggy.”
"If we can hold our ground, we won't be afraid at all. He will only hide deep and will not come face to face with the army. After all, now we can afford to lose, but Can Yuan cannot afford to lose."
He Xi understood that the Ming Dynasty had an army of one million, and even if the more than 200,000 troops that went out this time were all folded here, they would not be injured. However, it is hard to say whether the military force of the Yuan Ting Zhili is less than 100,000, and it is hard to say whether the political ecology of the Yuan Ting and the local army belong to the Yuan Ting.
Touyin Timur would rather not fight than be defeated again.
