Outside the tent, the night had quietly opened.
Zhu Gaoxu soon became inclined to adopt Qu Neng's strategy; he was unwilling to give up the fighter opportunity!
Zhu Gaoxu could not ignore the emotions of these generals around him and his eager desire to fight.
Besides, he thinks that the chance is not small.
But this battle is still quite risky.Even if he becomes an emperor, he will be unable to face any sure thing.
Cough... Zhu Gaoxu didn't speak for a long time, and suddenly cleared his throat.In an instant, almost all the generals' eyes gathered on his face in unison, with a look of expectation.
Zhu Gaoxu endured it for a moment and said: Before the hour of Mao tomorrow, all the generals will come to this tent again to wait for military orders.
The generals had no choice but to clasp their fists and say: I will obey the order.
Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand: You all go back to the camp.Get up early tomorrow and ask the soldiers to rest earlier.
Everyone bowed and said they were bowing.
People grow up in failure and regret.
In the past, he was addicted to gambling because he was too lucky. He wanted to win every time he bets, so he was so brave... But now, Zhu Gaoxu found that he was getting less and less courageous because he learned to consider losing and how to bear the consequences after losing.
If Qu Neng's army makes mistakes, Zhu Gaoxu will lose 20,000 elite troops and a Duke who can conquer and fight.His prestige, which he finally managed, will also be greatly affected.
It was precisely because of the cost that he did not make a decision immediately.He held back and prepared to wait for a night before thinking about it!
Zhu Gaoxu stared at the cracked charcoal like magma, as if a diviner was observing the texture and judging the secrets of heaven.
There were few trees on the grassland and the dead grass was not burned, and the charcoal was light in weight, so the Ming army's baggage carried some charcoal.
Usually, only emperors and generals use charcoal.
At this time, he put away the map in front of him, turned his upper body and handed it to Duan Xueheng, then took a photo of a felt blanket on the ground and said: Come and sit down.
Duan Xuehen walked up silently and knelt beside him.Zhu Gaoxu sat cross-legged.
I am a very competitive person and never admit defeat.Zhu Gaoxu spoke slowly.
Duan Xuehen did not respond, but her face turned around.
Zhu Gaoxu knew that although she was taciturn, she was a person who could listen and liked to listen to her own words.
He smiled and said: When he came to this place where the bird did not lay eggs, he had some insights.
Duan Xueheng looked at Zhu Gaoxu's side face with inquiring eyes.
Zhu Gaoxu glanced at her, pointed to the charcoal fire in front of him and said: Look at our days now, the grass has grown into the tent, and in the cold night, he guarded a pile of fires like an ancient primitive man.The distant civilization has made people feel the essence of human life, that is, survival and survival better?
Duan Xuehen finally spoke: Although the emperor is young, he will think about others and everyone is willing to be by your side.
Zhu Gaoxu clasped his fists and said with a smile: Thank you for your praise.
Seeing this, Duan Xueheng showed a smile on his lips.Zhu Gaoxu was reluctant to admire her rare smile.
It was only a little dark, and it was still early.Zhu Gaoxu was beside the charcoal fire, pondering for a while, and talking to Duan Xueheng in conjunction with each other.
At this time he shouted: Come, bring the Tatars Tuohuan.
The guards answered at the door of the tent and walked out again.
Soon, a man with hair was taken in by the guards.His arms were tied up on his back, his face had whip marks, and his fur robe was newly torn, looking a little embarrassed.
The guard bowed: Master, please come here.
After hearing this, Tuohuan was stunned. He hurriedly knelt on the ground, struggling to regain his body, and bowed in Chinese: The sinners bowed to the Lord, long live the Lord!
Now it was Zhu Gaoxu's turn to be stunned.
After a moment, he showed a meaningful smile and said: Let go of Huan!I will tolerate the Tatars who defected to our Ming Dynasty.Look at Hami's King Zhongshun (the first generation King Zhongshun was the younger brother of King Su of the Yuan Dynasty, and he was King Su's son ascended the throne at this time). After he sincerely surrendered, the court would treat him well.
Tuohuan thanked the Holy grace again.
Zhu Gaoxu pointed to the open space opposite and said: Come here.
Tuohuan thanked again. When the guard loosened the rope for him, he moved his arms and sat down cross-legged carelessly.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't care and said directly: I heard that Ben Yali became the Khan of Mongolia for a short time and did not convince the public.I originally thought that he would seize this opportunity and want to improve his prestige through his record, so he had to decide the outcome with the King's Army.But I didn't expect that he would run so fast, so he was too cowardly!
Tuohuan said: Although Ben Yari is not strong enough, he has a great prestige.He was a descendant of Xue Chanhan (Kublai) of the Golden Family. He traveled around for many years and took it as his mission to restore the glory of the Yuan Dynasty. Many tribes supported him.
The emperor suddenly led a large army, and Benyari was not prepared enough to order the Mongols gathered elsewhere.The Khan discussed with the minister and decided to harass the army that delayed the emperor, and then flee north to avoid the edge of the enemy. When the emperor's military rations were consumed, he would naturally retreat.
Zhu Gaoxu nodded seriously and said: Ben Yari was very conscious of the current affairs and knew that the Ming army was invincible.Do Mongolians also value their origins so much?
Tuohuan said: When you return to the emperor, all tribes recognize the Golden Family.The former Uretemur Khan (former Khan, Gui Lichi) was a native of Asut, so because he did not come from the Golden Family, the Wasat people had a name for opposing it.Wulei Timur Khan Guilichi was also whimsical and wanted to form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty court to crack down on the Wastu tribes who disobeyed him. As a result, this move caused dissatisfaction among more tribes and was soon assassinated.
Zhu Gaoxu said thoughtfully: No wonder the Mongolian Khan was unwilling to accept the enthronement of the Ming Dynasty.
Tuohuan said carefully: When Timur was not dead, Benyali was supported by Timur (the lame man) and wanted to fight in Beiping in the east, in the name of "quelling the rebellion".
After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but laugh.
Tuohuan said again: After Arutai supported Benyali's Khan as the Great Khan, the Wata people hated the Great Yuan Dynasty's "Court".The Khan did not receive the help of the extremely powerful Wastu tribes, so he decided to retreat north and avoid it for the time being.
Zhu Gaoxu nodded suddenly, looking confident.
He gradually admired Tuohuan's acting skills, and said it as if it were real... If this was really a trick of the Tatars to lure the enemy into deep.
Although Zhu Gaoxu was not completely sure, he had almost determined that he was a traitor.
Tuo Huan's intention was to lure the Ming army into a trap and pretend to be loyal; but Zhu Gaoxu took the opportunity to get a lot of other information from the Tatar senior executive.
Zhu Gaoxu continued to trick his words: Why did the thorns hate the Tatar Khan?
Tuohuan said: Alutai wanted to get more benefits with the official system of the Khan of the Yuan Dynasty; one of the major income was business dealings with the "Godhha" area of the Western Regions.Both the Khan and the Watsai leader believed in "Allah", and business dealings were very convenient.But Watshu occupied a good position and made profits from business dealings, so they knew that the 'mortal' Arutai had always wanted to eradicate them!
Zhu Gaoxu suddenly realized.Only today did he realize that the fundamental contradiction between Tatar and Watts is not just because of new hatreds, but also because of conflicts of interest.
Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: I see that you are very loyal, so I will save you from the serious crime of harassing the king's army. When I defeat Benjali, I will be rewarded with great reward.
Tuohuan pressed his hand on his chest, leaned forward and said: I thank the emperor for being generous and tolerant.
Take the fun down.Zhu Gaoxu looked up at the guard behind Tuohuan.
When Tuohuan left, Zhu Gaoxu got up and took out the wool coat and walked out of the tent.
When he turned around, he saw Duan Xuehen standing up.
He made a gesture and said: It's very cold at night.Women are afraid of the cold, so you don’t have to come out, just stay there.
Duan Xuehen nodded, her eyes seemed very gentle in the fire.
When Zhu Gaoxu walked out of the tent, he felt a biting chill on his face.It's not yet October, and it should be late autumn in terms of time, but the night here is like winter.
The air was very cold, but the stars were still covered with clear weather.
You can see faint sparks and torches on the ground. At this time, the military camp was far less bright than in the Ming Dynasty; the previous camp was full of fire at night.
It was because the grassland was insufficient, so everyone mowed the grass for a while, heated the ground and put felt on it and stopped burning the fire.
Zhu Gaoxu gradually felt that darkness seemed to have swallowed everything.The vast grasslands seem to be very depressing; but perhaps what makes people feel bored is not the environment, but the decision...
Before dawn the next morning, drums beat outside the camp's tent, and the generals came to see each other.
After everyone greeted each other, Zhu Gaoxu waited for a while and saw that the generals had no new ideas, he made a direct arrangement.
He ordered Qu Neng to be the commander of the front army. After preparations were made, he led his army to pursue Luqu River first.
The front army had a force of 20,000 troops, and selected 18,000 elite infantry from each army to form a group of 2,000 horses and cavalry.
Zhu Gaoxu specifically appointed the Marquis of Heyang Yin Desheng as the general and followed Duke Qu Neng of Ba to advance north.
Because during the Battle of Huguang, the left wing of the Crime Army was almost collapsed, and Yin Desheng's troops stood firm; Zhu Gaoxu still remembered his performance and believed that this person could be hard to fight.
Twenty thousand elite infantry and cavalry will gather within today, and the war horses they use will feed the fine grain of beans; tomorrow they will leave the main force of the army and set out first.
At that time, Qi Tai, the Minister of War, came to the vanguard army and saw Zhu Gaoxu, reporting on the military rations.
Qi Tai reminded: With such consumption, the army should return within half a month at most, otherwise they will face the dilemma of insufficient food on the way back.
When marching normally, the soldiers save horsepower and food, and cavalry marching is also on foot.But before and after the war, military ration consumption will inevitably accelerate.
No matter what, Zhu Gaoxu decided to make every effort to prepare for the battle in front of him!This battle may be the last battle of this northern expedition. Military rations cannot support it, and we will wait for the next fighter jet to arrive.
Zhu Gaoxu soon became inclined to adopt Qu Neng's strategy; he was unwilling to give up the fighter opportunity!
Zhu Gaoxu could not ignore the emotions of these generals around him and his eager desire to fight.
Besides, he thinks that the chance is not small.
But this battle is still quite risky.Even if he becomes an emperor, he will be unable to face any sure thing.
