Fortunately, Cheng Feng's self-assertion did not have any serious consequences, so Chen Kan just threatened him and did not continue to hold him accountable.
Of course, the scouting job would definitely not be left to him anymore, so the mature and prudent Cen Gu took over the scouting job again.
It has been almost a month since I left Beijing, and the green playground on the grassland has begun to turn yellow.
In previous years, during a season like this, many tribes would have already started migrating with their cattle and sheep.
But this year, there was silence on the grassland.
This actually provided favorable conditions for Chen Kan to hide his figure.
After sending the scouts out, Chen Kan couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows, and then continued to lead his soldiers to start a thousand-mile escape mode.
After another three days and three nights of running, Chen Kan and his men successfully got behind the 100,000 Tatar troops stationed on the Tumutchuan grassland.
According to the news from Cen Gu, the 5,000 pursuers sent by the Tatars had been recalled by Abu Ji'an because they had been unable to catch up with Chen Kan. However, it was the army that was defeated in the initial battle with Chen Kan. The remnant army kept chasing behind him and refused to let go, but they did not dare to attack Chen Kan again, maybe because they were afraid of being beaten.
When he first learned the news, Chen Kan thought it was because A Bu was tired of chasing after me, but as time went by, it became more and more serious.
Chen Kan suddenly felt uneasy.
It is true that the grassland is huge, but the Tatars will never tolerate themselves and two thousand Ming troops running around on the grassland.
This is no different from being followed by a bad wolf at any time. It is impossible for the Tatars not to understand this truth.
But Chen Kan has already released the scouts two hundred miles away. He can be sure that except for the remnant army that has been biting him, there are no other Tatar armies within two hundred miles, and there are even very few tribes. .
Have the Tatars really given up?
However, except for Chen Kan who was a little anxious, all the generals under Chen Kan were very interested.
Even Fang Xu felt that Chen Kan was a little unfounded.
Today, seeing Chen Kan deep in thought again, Fang Xu came over to comfort him again: "Master Marquis, don't worry, we are a small cavalry team, and with one person and two cavalry, the Tatars will not be able to catch up with us." Normally, if they really catch up, Cheng Feng should wipe his neck."
In this case, Fang Xu has told him many times in the past few days.
The Ming Dynasty's cavalry was highly mobile, Chen Kan certainly knew this.
But can this deny the mobility of the Tatar cavalry?
Chen Kan is still skeptical about this.
But it turned out that there was no Tatar army within a radius of two hundred miles. Even if Chen Kan was worried, he could only pretend that nothing happened.
It will be a brave soldier. Once Chen Kan's mental state has problems, the whole team will collapse.
Fang Xu stepped forward to comfort Chen Kan. Seeing that Chen Kan's expression returned to normal, he started discussing with a group of generals again.
After finally getting around to the back of the main Tatar force, it was natural to carry out the plan according to the original plan.
Not to mention cutting off the supplies of the Tatars, at least it would not allow them to live so comfortably on the front line.
But how to disrupt the Tatar supplies is another big problem.
The supply of the Tatars is not like that of the Han people, who need to conquer countless civilians to transport grain and horse materials.
For the Tatars, wherever there is a war, just drive the sheep, cattle and horses there, and that is supplies. As for the fodder needed by the war horses, the grasslands in this season are full of green grass half a person's height, even more No need to prepare.
Chen Kan leaned aside, listening to the buzzing of mosquitoes in his ears, and listening to them discussing how to cut off the Tatar supplies.
Hearing the buzzing of mosquitoes, Chen Kan felt inexplicably irritated.
The grassland seems to be a very beautiful place, but in fact the grassland may not be as beautiful as everyone sees it.
Because there are many mosquitoes on the grassland, the excrement of cattle and sheep moistens the grassland, which naturally also moistens the mosquitoes on the grassland. Every day, Chen Kan's exposed skin outside the armor is covered with dense bites.
Moreover, there is a kind of fruit fly on the grassland. If you are not careful, it will get into people's skin. Not only will it suck people's blood, but it will also lay eggs under their skin.
So far, many soldiers have been recruited.
Every time he saw the soldiers squeezing out white and fat larvae from their skin, Chen Kan couldn't help but feel aversion to cold, so Chen Kan now gets irritated when he sees mosquitoes.
But mosquitoes on the grassland always follow people wherever they go.
The inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, coupled with the environment of the grassland, all made Chen Kan wonder if he had come to the grassland in the wrong way.
He could obviously avoid Li Yao's local sight in Beijing, so why did he come to the grassland to find trouble?
Finally, when Fang Xu, Zhou Shi and others discussed for a long time but failed to come up with a useful method, Chen Kan couldn't help it anymore.
"Since we want to cut off the supplies of the Tatar army, why don't we just cut off their water source first?"
Chen Kan frowned and looked at the few people, already very dissatisfied with their behavior of always talking nonsense.
"Turn off the water supply?"
After hearing Chen Kan's suggestion, the generals subconsciously looked at Chen Kan.
Chen Kan said angrily: "Wouldn't it be wrong to throw rotting corpses into the Tatar water source?"
As soon as this statement came out, several people hesitated.
They knew that throwing corpses into the water source would pollute the water source, but such a method would harm the world.
After a moment, Fang Xu raised his head and retorted: "Master Hou, if the water source is polluted and a plague breaks out on the grassland, we will probably be infected. This move will harm the peace of the world and will not be considered inappropriate."
There was also some hesitation on the faces of the other people. In this era, we still pay attention to being upright. This method is too destructive, and obviously they are not very accepting in their hearts.
Hearing Fang Xu's pedantic speech, Chen Kan almost laughed out loud. This is war, and war means using all means to win by any means necessary.
As long as polluting the water source is useful, let alone throwing bodies, Chen Kan doesn't think there is anything wrong with throwing feces in it.
"This won't work, and that won't work either. So what do you think we should do?"
Chen Kan posed the problem to several generals, and he wanted to see what kind of solution these people could come up with.
Several people were silent for a while, and then Zhou Shi said weakly: "Otherwise, we will set fire to the grassland?"
"Hiss~"
There was a gasp, and everyone looked at Zhou Shi in disbelief, wondering how his 37-degree mouth could tell such a cold joke.
Fang Xu said with a dark face: "It's more evil to set fire to the grassland. If you are not afraid of losing your life, you can burn it yourself. But I want to remind you that the wind blowing now is from the southwest. If you set fire to it, the fire will only move in the northwest direction." Burn it, our enemy is in the south."
Fang Xu's words successfully made Zhou Shi look embarrassed.
He didn't think much about it at first, he just thought that since no one could do anything, he would make some suggestions.
In the end, who knew he really threw a brick.
Cheng Feng said with a sinister look on his face: "Why bother? It's better to let the general lead his brothers into the Tatar camp."
As expected, Cheng Feng's words were ignored by everyone.
After getting along with each other for such a long time, everyone has long known Cheng Feng's nature and that he is just a guy who only has muscles but no brains.
Next, Cen Gu, Qian Xinghu, and Qiu Han also put forward their ideas to Chen Kan.
Some people said that they would go back and deal with the pursuing troops, and some said that they would disguise themselves as Tatars and sneak into the Tatar camp. In the end, there was no feasible solution.
In the end, Chen Kan’s idea of polluted water sources was more constructive.
But contaminating the water source meant that a plague was likely to occur on the grassland. Considering that they were still on the grassland, everyone gave up on the method of contaminating the water source.
"How about we also imitate the champion?"
In the useless discussion of a group of people, Cen Gu's words seemed so abrupt.
Everyone suddenly became energetic, especially Chen Kan, who hurriedly asked: "What do you mean, what does it mean to imitate the champion?"
Several pairs of eyes stared at him fiercely, making Cen Gu uncomfortable for a while.
Especially the light in Chen Kan's eyes almost blinded him.
He said weakly: "The meaning of my humble position is that since we have nothing to do with the Tatar army, we might as well try to capture the thief first and capture the king first."
"Xinsuo Xisuo."
Chen Kan sat up straight, looking like a primary school student who suddenly heard a topic of interest, with a look of curiosity and desire to interpret the words on his face.
When Chen Kan saw this, Cen Gu suddenly gained courage. He moved the map in front of Chen Kan, then pointed to a location on the map and said, "Master Marquis, please look, here, Arutai and Mahamu are During the battle, both sides gathered more than half a million troops."
Chen Kan followed Cen Gu's finger and saw the big character Beihai at a glance.
The North Sea is the boundary between Tatar and Oara. The Oara tribe occupies the grassland from the North Sea to the Irtysh River, and the Tatars occupy the vast area from the North Sea to Saihan Mountain in Liaodong.
Chen Kan nodded: "What then?"
Cen Gu moved his finger to the Tumut River and said: "Arutai has deployed a hundred thousand troops here to prevent the Ming Dynasty from taking advantage of the battle between him and Mahamu to invade the grassland."
After saying that, he moved his fingers to Saihan Mountain, and then smiled: "And here, there are 60,000 troops deployed by the Tatars here."
"Yeah, yeah."
Everyone nodded like chickens pecking at rice.
Cen Gu continued: "What do you think this means?"
Fang Xu asked in a timely manner, "What does it mean?"
"It means that the Tatars' tents are empty."
Cen Gu trembled and said this sentence, and then he poked a place called the Enen River on the map with his fingers.
"As we all know, the Great Khan of the Golden Family, Ben Shiyari, is a puppet in the hands of Arutai, and now, Arutai has deployed more than 400,000 troops on various borders of Mongolia.
The grassland was already split into two parts, and the 400,000-strong army was probably the limit of the Tatars.
Now that these armies are not in the Kent Mountains, if we go straight to Huanglong and capture the Mongolian Khan Benshiyali, will it weaken Mongolia's overall national strength? "
"Hiss~"
There was another gasp.
