Chapter 82: Wattle
Not to mention how Emperor Tianyuan would be ravaged in Qiu Fu's hands. But no matter what the fate of Emperor Tianyuan is, the most important thing is the immediate crisis.
That is, the Wazi people.
I don't know how many enemies there are. They have been attacking for several days now. They are trapped and exhausted. A battle has just ended. Although it is said to be a rout, even if there are thousands of pigs, it is still very tiring to catch them on terrain like the grassland.
Not to mention, the enemy is still more than ten miles away.
The distance of more than ten miles is not far, nor is it close. There are different views on different terrains. On the grassland, the view is unobstructed and unobstructed. The speed of the cavalry is higher, and it takes almost no time.
King Yan had no time to make any arrangements.
Escape may be a way. It's just that Emperor Tianyuan probably won't be able to catch him alive. I can only take the human head with me. In addition, he brought these brothers, people who could go back under the pursuit of Wa Ci. There won't be many left.
If you don't run away and actually fight a battle, you're just gambling.
Bet on how many opponents there are, bet on Emperor Tian Yuan asking for help, Wa Ci's reaction speed is not too fast, there are not many people coming over at this moment, the Ming army is capable of fighting.
But King Yan didn't want to fight, he had other thoughts in his heart, that is, how far Wasi was really willing to go for Emperor Tianyuan.
King Yan had worked hard on the inside story of the grassland, so he naturally knew everything about the relationship between Wa Ci and Emperor Tianyuan. Now Yuan Ting has been destroyed. What kind of approach would Wasi take to the Ming Dynasty towards the ruined royal court?
To continue the war or to maintain peace.
King Yan didn't know clearly, but he decided to take a gamble. Even if he lost the bet, it would not be too late to fight again. No matter how many Tatars there were, King Yan was confident of breaking out of the siege. As for the rest, I can't care about it.
King Yan immediately ordered to reorganize the team. The Ming army formed a formation, but the Tatar prisoners pressed behind the formation, and ordered the rear troops to prepare to come over.
On the left side of King Yan is Zhang Yu, and on the right side is Qiu Fu. They are both top-notch generals, looking well prepared and waiting for Wa Ci.
Seeing that the Ming army was well prepared, the Wa Ci army here did not dare to advance too far and slowly stopped a few miles away.
King Yan said loudly: "I don't know, the person opposite is Wa Ci, Gu Nai is King Yan of the Ming Dynasty. Please answer me in front of the formation."
There was a commotion in the Wasi army, and suddenly a Mongolian nobleman in his forties or fifties, with some foreign blood, and blue eyes, came out with three or five followers.
The Mongolian nobleman said in pure Chinese: "Guo Hai, the great captain of the Yuan Dynasty, has met His Highness King Yan. I don't know why His Highness King Yan came uninvited and went to Mobei as a guest? Where is my Majesty?"
As soon as King Yan heard this, he knew there was a way.
Naturally, this Mongolian Taiwei's surname is not Guo, he just calls himself that. There are many translations of his name, such as Hiroyuki Tatsuyu and so on.
If Wasi was a loyal minister of Dayuan, then in today's situation, he would not ask such a question. The question is obvious, what is the purpose of the Ming army coming to Mobei? There is no need to ask. Any question that is asked knowingly represents an attitude in itself, an attitude of not wanting to break up.
To be honest, Guo Hai didn't think about what to do at the moment, mainly because today's situation changed too fast.
After all, Wasi is in the northwest and is not directly connected to the Ming Dynasty. The soldiers and horses in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty are relatively weak. Except for following Wang Baobao to fight the Ming army, Wasi has almost never fought against the Ming army. Speaking of which, that is Decades ago.
Now that Yuan Ting has been destroyed, Wa Ci may have a new choice.
After hearing what he said, King Yan felt confident in his heart and said: "Captain, I have invited your lord to be a guest in Nanjing. If you are interested, you can go south with the Lord of the Yuan Dynasty? What do you think, Commander-in-Chief?"
Guo Hai laughed and said, "That's unnecessary."
King Yan said: "Then take your leave. There is no need to send you far away."
After saying that, he turned around and left as if no one was there, while Zhang Yu and Qiu Fu followed King Yan step by step. I'm afraid that Wa Ci will chase me.
Guo Hai looked at King Yan. Next to him was a teenage Mongolian nobleman who looked somewhat similar to Guo Hai. Said: "Ada, why don't you take down King Yan? I saw that the number of combatable soldiers behind King Yan is only a thousand. With our current strength, we can defeat him with one blow."
This person is Mahamu, the son and heir of Guo Hai. Historically, one of the opponents of the Yongle Northern Expedition.
But at this moment, he is still very immature.
Guo Hai said: "What good will it do to us to kill King Yan and recapture His Majesty today?"
Mahamu said: "Why is there no benefit? After your majesty experienced this incident, he is now a toy in our hands. We can play with it as we want. He can also show his power to the world. Let the world know who is the king of Mobei. .”
Guo Hai shook his head slightly. The environment in which Mahamu grew up was actually the environment in which the Golden Family continued to decline. As far back as he could remember, the Golden Family had been a good thing. Guo Hai can still remember that Emperor Yuan Shun was leading the power of Mobei and Wang Baobao was strong.
Guo Hai also retained a trace of awe for the Golden Family, but Mahamu was completely gone. What Mahamu thought of was just to replace it.
Guo Hai said: "What about Ming's revenge?"
Mahamu was slightly stunned and said: "No matter how far we are in Mobei, the Ming army is beyond reach. What can they do to us?"
Guo Hai heard the reluctance in Mahamu's tone. If nothing else, the mere fact that tens of thousands of Ming troops appeared in Mobei explained everything.
Guo Hai did not directly say whether Mahamu was right or wrong, but now said: "Actually, there is no difference between being a Yuan minister and a Ming minister. However, the right to choose now is not with us, but with the Ming army. Slow down the march. Send King Yan back to the capital."
In fact, Guo Hai was also hesitant deep down in his heart.
To be honest, King Yan didn't say anything about starting a war with Wa Ci. Guo Hai also beat him. After all, Guo Hai is not a good person. He can be said to be the founder of the Zolos family. Before Guo Hai, Wa Ci was a piece of loose sand. Four thousand households, each doing their own thing. It is a tribal alliance, and the Zoros family does not yet have absolute dominance over Waci. And in Guo Hai, it took a lot of intrigues and annexation and disintegration methods to unify Wac. At least the current rule of the Choros family, his son Mahamu, grandson Tuohuan, and great-grandson before him, all have taken over the whole Washi.
And he is not.
Guo Hai's military ability is not too prominent because he has not fought any big battles. However, the conspiracy and power struggle was ruthless. In the eyes of the Mongols, he was also a heroic figure.
He was fiercely motivated to start a war with Ming Dynasty, but he was actually not afraid. But the problem is that King Yan gave Guo Hai another choice. If you are an ordinary reckless person, it will be of no use at all. But Guo Hai thought more and hesitated.
To be honest, if the Ming Dynasty is willing to recognize Wasi's sphere of influence and Wasi declares himself a minister to the Ming Dynasty, Guo Hai will be willing to become a loyal minister to the Ming Dynasty without hesitation. However, Ming Dynasty's attitude toward external expansion made Wa Ci a little uneasy.
Uneasy is uneasy. But the enemy is strong and we are weak. Guo Hai wanted to leave more room for him, but he didn't dare to do anything absolutely.
Guo Hai suddenly thought of something in his mind and said: "By the way, my son, go and prepare a child. He should be about three or five years old. He should have thin skin and tender flesh, and he will look pampered at first glance."
Mahamu did not react and said, "Ada, what are you doing?"
Guo Hai said: "We came a step too late and did not save His Majesty. We only saved His Majesty's son. It can be regarded as God's blessing that Yuan Si will not be eliminated."
Mahamu was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Guo Hai meant and said, "Yes, yes, Ada, I understand." Then Mahamu became a little troubled and said, "It's hard to find someone like this."
What Mahamu told the truth is that it is indeed difficult to find.
It is almost impossible for a child who grew up in Mobei these days not to have weathered the wind and snow and have tender skin and tender flesh. However, Guo Hai didn't care about the details at all and said, "It's up to you."
Guo Hai is also making preparations. If the Ming Dynasty is easy to talk to, he will naturally be willing to be a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty is not easy to talk to, he will naturally become the first emperor, that is, the Tianyuan Emperor. Although Emperor Tianyuan is not dead yet, in Guo Hai's view, he is already dead. No matter what Emperor Tianyuan thinks, he will always be Emperor Tianyuan's trusted minister and assist the young master in ascending the throne.
As for the young master, we are still looking for him.
