Erihemu's face was particularly ugly. He looked at Hashiha's back, opened and closed his mouth several times, and finally said nothing, turned around and left the tent.

Hashiha breathed a sigh of relief in his chest. It’s not that he didn’t know the danger Erihemu mentioned. Winter is long and cold, which is not suitable for fighting outside for a long time. But the problem is that this matter is related to the entire Liaodong and the areas outside the pass. An excellent opportunity to revitalize Dayuan.

You must know that Goryeo itself was a subsidiary of the Yuan Dynasty. Although the Li family has the final say in Goryeo now, the Ming Dynasty obviously did not support Li Fanguo. It watched Li Fanguo splashing in the water without reaching out his hand. If he stretched out his hand at this time, If you take out the bamboo pole and pull Li Fangguo, it is very likely that Goryeo will return to the embrace of Dayuan.

Besides, conquering Daning, Liaodong and other places can completely eliminate the Ming army's power outside the pass, forcing the Ming army to go on the defensive. The outside of the pass will completely become the Yuan court's grazing land. This is strategically correct.

Weighing the risks and gains, Ha Shiha decided to bet on the elite of Erhut's troops and the future of Yuan Ting.

However, the future has not come yet, and it may not come...

The Tatar Arutai and others are already sharpening their knives. I heard that Hashiha is planning to provide diplomatic and military assistance to Goryeo at once under the leadership of the Duoyan Guard personnel to save time.

This kind of leading troops directly to someone's door, saying that I am here to help you, I don't know if Li Fanguo will dance with joy or be stunned...

Arutai knew very well that the Ming Dynasty's power in Liaodong was not weak, with as many as hundreds of thousands of soldiers. If you want to bring the people of Hashiha to Goryeo, the only feasible way is to the Jurchen Department further north.

The Jurchens at present are divided into three parts, namely Jianzhou, Haiyou and Savage Jurchens. Although these people mainly engage in fishing and hunting, they are not easy to mess with. Their folk customs are very fierce, and they don’t know Tuuluhuchaer. Are you fooling Hashha...

But it doesn't matter, Ha Shiha's division of troops is more beneficial to the Tatar plan.

When Arutai used the saber as a mirror, no one could have imagined that Tuolu Huchaer would appear in Daning City at this time.

Prince Ning's residence.

Tuolu Huchaer looked respectfully at Zhu Quan who was sitting on top, saluted and said: "Prince Ning is worthy of being the overlord outside the pass. When the storm blows, the dragon will stand up. Even if the imperial court suppresses him, there is nothing he can do to you."

Zhu Quan calmly gave him a seat and said: "As long as I don't leave Daning for a day, no one can cause chaos here. Tolu Hucha'er, I regard you as my brother, you won't betray me, right?"

Tuolu Huchaer's heart tightened, and with a smile on his face, he said: "What did King Ning say? Duoyan Wei and Fuyu Wei have always followed your lead and never dared to have second thoughts."

Zhu Quan didn't smile, just stared at Tuolu Huchaer without saying a word.

The whole room was a little depressed, and Tuolu Huchaer felt more and more uneasy. Just as he was thinking about countermeasures, Zhu Quan suddenly said: "That's good."

Tuolu Huchaer secretly wiped his cold sweat. Although Zhu Quan was young, he was very tough in battle. In front of Yuan Ting, who was good at cavalry, he could still gallop around and kill seven in and seven out. , established a prestigious reputation. In addition, this person is quite resourceful and extremely difficult to deal with. If he wants to abandon Duoyan Wei, Duoyan Wei will probably be crushed by several forces.

Zhu Quan took a pomegranate from the plate, savored the delicious taste, and said to Tolu Huchaer, who was standing aside a little awkwardly: "Wala wants Duoyanwei's life, and Tatar wants Wala's life. Whose life do you want?”

Feeling Zhu Quan's sharp edge, Tuolu Hucha'er replied eagerly: "I just want the Tatars to stay away from Qiaoba Mountain and return to the Orkhon River. There is a saying among the Han people: Don't allow others to sleep soundly next to your bed. Qiao Bashan is not far from the Duoyanwei camp. If it were not blocked by Halawen Mountain, they would be able to reach it in less than three days. With such a distance, Duoyanwei would have trouble sleeping and eating."

Zhu Quan spit out the pomegranate seeds and said sternly: "It is not difficult to move the Tatars. What is difficult is Wala Hashiha. Tolu Huchaer, put aside your prejudices and other thoughts and join forces with the Tatars."

Tuolu Huchaer was a little unwilling and said: "Why don't you just sit back and watch the tiger fight? The Tatars have already shown signs of taking action, so why do they need Duoyanwei to participate?"

Once involved, it means completely breaking up with Ha Shiha, it means committing combat power, and it means bearing losses.

Duoyanwei and Fuyuwei can't stand the big trouble.

Zhu Quan did not look at Tolu Hucha'er, but lowered his head and picked pomegranate seeds: "If Ha Shiha is not dead, Wala will unite all the major tribes in Mongolia sooner or later. Will there still be a place for Duoyan Guards by then? Don't think that the Tatars can completely defeat Ha. Shiha, Arutai, Yesuntai and others can at most weaken the power of Hashiha, but cannot completely destroy it. Are you willing to give up the opportunity of Duoyanwei, Tatar and Oara to divide Mongolia?"

Tolu Huchaer was silent.

Zhu Quan's analysis is correct. Hashiha is a powerful careerist, and Wala has been staying in the west. He is rarely attacked by the Ming army. The overall strength is stronger than the Tatars. Although Hashiha only brought a There are more than 50,000 people, plus the annexation forces on the road, but this unit's combat power is no longer weaker than the main Tatar force.

If Hashiha is allowed to live, with his temperament and strength, there will be no more Tatars and Duoyan guards in the future.

"We have sent troops, what should you do?"

Tulu Huchaer asked a key question.

Zhu Quan raised the pomegranate in his hand and said nothing.

Tuoluhuchaer understood that Zhu Quan wanted to be a bystander, eating and watching the melee between Duoyan, Tatar and Wala.

In this case, let him be a spectator.

Tuolu Huchaer figured out Zhu Quan's position and plan, and stood up to leave.

Zhu Quan arranged for someone to send him out, put the peeled pomegranate seeds in his palm, smiled inexplicably, raised his head and swallowed all the pomegranate seeds in one gulp, his mouth full of fresh and sweet taste...

New City Guard.

Sheng Yong checked the military situation, and his original solemn mood improved a lot.

Judging from the current intelligence, Hashiha and the Tatars are not in a hurry to launch an attack on Daning. Both sides have stationed troops in and around Qiuba Mountain.

"Sheng Dusi, Prince Ning sent a secret letter."

Liu Changge walked into the hall, took out the secret letter from his arms and handed it to Sheng Yong.

After Sheng Yong took it, he checked the paint and seal, then took two steps away, took out the letter and looked at it carefully, and then threw the letter to the bottom of the firewood stove aside.

Liu Changge took a step forward and asked, "Why did you burn the letter? What did Prince Ning say?"

Sheng Yong picked up the tea bowl and poured the remaining tea on the ashes of the paper. Then he looked at Liu Changge and said, "Things have changed. We need to adjust our deployment and immediately send a message to the pass to ask King Yan to lead his troops out of the pass."

Liu Changge didn't know what King Ning wrote, but seeing that Sheng Yong was so serious and couldn't get any results from his inquiries, he said: "The King of Yan only arrived in Jizhou with 6,000 cavalry, and the follow-up infantry will probably take another seven or eight days." We can arrive in Jizhou only, so I might not be appropriate to leave the customs in a hurry."

Sheng Yong looked at Liu Changge and said: "There are various reasons. I apologize that Sheng cannot explain it now. But I need the Security Bureau to quickly pass a letter to King Yan. He will make his own decision after reading it."

Liu Changge saw that Sheng Yong had written the letter and sealed it properly, then he took it solemnly and asked: "Sheng Dusi, the first duty of the Security Bureau is to defend the safety of the Ming Dynasty. We are also sergeants. If there is a war, please allow me to take the lead." People from the Security Bureau charge."

Sheng Yong looked at Liu Changge's request for battle and said solemnly: "Don't worry, there will be a time when you will take action. King Ning mentioned a piece of news that Ha Shiha was going to send some troops to North Korea via the Jurchen tribe to form an alliance with Li Fanguo. In order to seek to advance east and west, we plan to plot Liaodong."

Liu Changge's pupils condensed slightly, and after thinking about the position of North Korea, he couldn't help but said: "Isn't it that Harshiha is brave and resourceful, how could he do such a stupid thing?"

Sheng Yong spread his hands, indicating that he didn't know.

But this was indeed a stupid move. Sheng Yong could not think of any result other than giving away his life in vain. You must know that Yang Wen, the capital of Liaodong, is also a brave general. He also occupies a favorable location and has a large number of troops. No matter how you look at it, the people of Hashiha will not be able to reach North Korea smoothly.

After retreating ten thousand steps, Ha Shiha's envoys arrived in North Korea. Did Li Fangguo of North Korea really dare to become an enemy of the Ming Dynasty?

What a joke, Li Chenggui came to power by overthrowing the pro-Yuan regime. Li Fanguo is Li Chenggui’s son. No matter how idiot you are, you can see clearly that the Yuan Dynasty is not the opponent of the Ming Dynasty. Once Li Fanguo orders the road to be blocked, Ha Shiha will not be allowed to die. When the army enters North Korea, they can only stay by the Yalu River and lament that "a big river has wide waves."

Jizhou Town.

Zhu Di led his army to be stationed in Luerling, which was only forty miles away from Xifengkou of the Great Wall. Ping'an, Qu Neng, Qiu Fu, Chen Hui and other officers were all gathered in the tent.

"Hashiha wants to conquer the outside of the pass and completely wipe out our army's influence outside the pass. The Tatar Arutai wants to take this opportunity to attack Hashiha. Duoyanwei has both sides. It seems insignificant, but it is very important in this stall. Important. Their stance will determine the scale and direction of the war outside the border."

Ping An pointed at the map and analyzed the current situation.

Qu Neng agreed with Ping An's view and said: "What can be relieved at the moment is that the Tatars and Oara are not really united. This also determines that the Oara cannot attack Daning and Liaodong with all their strength. At most, they will attack the Tatars." Tao and Duoyanwei should be the dead ghosts."

Chen Hui is also a good general and a brave warrior. He has achieved military exploits during the Hongwu period. Faced with the situation at hand, he expressed his views: "No matter how the Oara, Tatar and Duoyan guards collude, our power outside the customs, especially the Da The forces near Ning are weak, so we should leave the border quickly to support Daning."

Everyone was talking endlessly.

Zhu Di listened to everyone's opinions, stared at the map, and pondered for a long time before he said: "Jizhou is still too far away. We can't deal with Yuan Ting if we advance, and we can't protect Daning if we retreat. It's better to leave sooner rather than later."

Seeing that Zhu Di had made up his mind, Pingan said with some worry: "It's okay to leave the border, but we don't have enough troops at the moment and the infantry has not arrived yet. If we leave the border in a hurry, once we encounter the elites of the Yuan Dynasty, we may not be able to change it with the power in our hands." situation."

Zhu Di also knew this, but the opportunity could no longer wait any longer. If it were delayed any longer, no matter how many changes occurred in the north, they would spread to the pass and they would be irreversible.

"There is no need to worry about troop strength."

Qu Neng pointed to the map and said: "Once out of the customs, you can directly drop troops from Kuanhe Station and Huizhou Guard and station them at Fuyu Guard. Although this method will make Kuanhe Station and Huizhou Guard empty, it will not It is relatively close to the pass, so we only need to wait a few days for the Peiping infantry to arrive and then we can replenish it."

Zhu Di nodded and praised: "That's very good, then get ready."

"Report, Daning Dusi Secretary."

The sergeant quickly delivered the documents.

When Zhu Di opened it and took a look, his eyes suddenly turned cold and his face became serious. Just when everyone was feeling uneasy and didn't know what had happened, Zhu Di suddenly said: "This time we are going to make a big move. Order Dongsheng, Zhongyi, Xingzhou All the cavalry of the three guards gathered together, and after arriving at Xifengkou, they immediately left the customs and marched into Fuyu Guards."

Ping An, Qu Neng and others were a little surprised. Zhu Di wanted to take away all the cavalry on the front line of Jizhou in the pass. This move was no small matter.
