Chapter 44 Zhu Zhanhe’s idea

In addition to the Benya Shili brought back by Zhu Zhanhe, the Ming army also captured nearly 40,000 Tatars in this confrontation.

Obviously these 40,000 people cannot be taken with them, so they can only be taught to the logistics troops and asked to escort them to Kaiping Guards.

Sitting on the horse, Zhu Zhanhe was thinking about the words he heard this morning.

In fact, he didn't care much about those words, because he didn't want to be too public, which ran counter to his plan to mess up.

What he cares about is who said these words.

Is it my father? Or the three civil servants?

"Report!"

Just when Zhu Zhanhe was immersed in his own thoughts, his thoughts were interrupted by the long shout of the ordering soldier.

"Report! Traces of the Tatar tribe were found ten miles ahead!"

"Second brother!" Zhu Di made a decisive decision.

"yes!"

The King of Han shook the reins, and the horse immediately galloped towards Dongfang Xiang.

Also moving at the same time were three thousand battalions, because they were originally troops under the jurisdiction of the King of Han.

The atmosphere of the entire army became lively, except Zhu Zhanhe who rolled his eyes.

Because he knew that in the next two months, the Ming army had been chasing the Alutai tribe. There were occasional small confrontations, but the Alutai tribe retreated while fighting, and the Ming army did not achieve anything.

What are the actual results?

This situation lasted until the weather got hotter in July, and the old man had to order the teacher to return to the court.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanhe's eyes moved, he gently pulled the reins, and controlled the horse under his crotch to lean towards his cousin Zhu Zhanji.

"Hey, cousin!"

"Huh?" Zhu Zhanji turned his head in confusion.

After all, he was still a child and did not control his emotions very well. Zhu Zhanhe easily saw a bit of happiness in the eyes of the future Emperor Xuande.

"How about you find someone to report to Grandpa and suggest that Grandpa go to Wu Liangha Sanwei?"

Zhu Zhanhe had a smile on his face, but what he said shocked Zhu Zhanji.

"What!?"

As soon as the words came out, Zhu Zhanji noticed something was wrong, because many people's eyes had turned around following his exclamation.

"No, what are you doing!?" Zhu Zhanji leaned closer to his cousin and whispered.

"This is marching, not safari!"

"I know." Compared to Zhu Zhanji's nervousness, Zhu Zhanhe's face was calm.

"Actually, you only need to talk to grandpa and he will figure it out. This matter is actually very simple, because Arutai can only escape to the three guards of Ulyanha and there is no other place to go."

"Ah?" Zhu Zhanji was confused.

His thinking is still different from Zhu Zhanhe's. He is not yet at the level of what Xie Jin calls a "good saintly grandson". It can only be said that he is outstanding compared to his peers.

But Zhu Zhanhe is different. He is the same age as Zhu Zhanji physically, but not mentally.

"Why?" Zhu Zhanji was still a child at heart and had already forgotten Hu Guang's words at this moment.

In fact, it's not that he has completely forgotten it, it's just that he doesn't have personal experience of the royal family's struggle yet, and his defense against Zhu Zhanhe is also quite low.

"Besides, why don't you go and tell Grandpa what you've come up with?"

"I think so..." Zhu Zhanhe looked helpless.

"Cousin, it's not like you haven't seen what happened last night. If I open my mouth, I'm afraid I'll be in trouble then."

…

Zhu Zhanji was silent when he heard this.

Zhu Zhanhe's words made Hu Guang's words last night linger in his mind again, but this time it was not his defense against Zhu Zhanhe, but a little compassion.

It is pitiful for a grandson of the emperor to be forced to this point.

"Zhanhe, go and talk to grandpa yourself!" Zhu Zhanji immediately made a decision in his heart.

"Don't worry, I will help you stop Master Hu Guang. If you have anything to say, just say it!"

…

Seeing his cousin come out looking like he was about to die generously, Zhu Zhanhe didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a moment.

Can’t I say it? If I want to say it, no one can stop me! I really don’t want to say it!

"No..." Zhu Zhanhe spoke again, dumbfounded, but what he didn't know was that his expression looked like a bitter smile to Zhu Zhanji.

"Cousin, you should go ahead and tell me. It's really not good for me to go. Don't stop Bachelor Hu Guang. This..."

"What are you two whispering about!" Just as Zhu Zhanhe and Zhu Zhanji were pushing and shoving, the old man noticed something strange about them and interrupted their whispers.

"Grandpa, Zhan He said he..."

"nothing!"

As soon as Zhu Zhanji opened his mouth, Zhu Zhanhe quickly interrupted.

"No, grandpa, Zhan He said he..."

"It's really nothing!"

…

Zhu Di squinted at these two precious grandsons. He didn't know that Zhu Zhanhe was causing trouble again.

"Zhanji, tell me!" Zhu Di immediately made the most correct decision.

"Zhan He said..."

"Well……"

As soon as Zhu Zhanji opened his mouth, Zhu Zhanhe wanted to interrupt, but the old man immediately silenced him with a sharp strike.

"Zhanhe said that he suggested that grandpa go towards the three guards of Wuliangha, and the Arutai tribe would have no choice but to flee in that direction. He also said that as soon as he told grandpa, he would know why."

Without Zhu Zhanhe's interference, Zhu Zhanji finished his words smoothly.

"Huh?" Zhu Di's eyes narrowed.

Zhu Zhanhe rolled his eyes when he saw this.

Wow, what a fool again! It was just as he said, and the old man knew why as soon as he heard it.

The reason is actually very simple. Alutai is running eastward, which is the direction of the three guards of Uliangha. Furthermore, because of personal reasons, Arutai can only go towards the three guards of Uliangha.

Because Arutai is the son-in-law of Wu Liangha Sanwei.

In fact, in history, the reason why Arutai was able to deal with the Ming Dynasty for so long was because of the support of the three guards of Wuliangha.

Although the Wuliangha Sanwei was apparently a military post of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, the Wuliangha Sanwei had always looked after itself, and the guardhouse was just a guardhouse.

Jisu means that it belongs to the Ming Dynasty in name, but cannot actually rule.

In this historical Northern Expedition, the Arutai tribe apparently relied on the high mobility of the cavalry to fight and retreat, delaying the Ming army for two full months until the Ming army could no longer withstand the high temperature and heat.

The depletion of food and grass forced the troops to withdraw.

But if you think about it carefully, a force of more than 70,000 people, including many old, weak, women and children, can face the pursuit of a Ming army of 200,000 troops without showing any signs of timidity. This is a bug in itself.

Arutai was indeed very thoughtful, otherwise he would not have endured Ming Taizong and Ming Renzong until his death during the Xuande period.

But at this time, Arutai had no men and no food. It was simply not enough to confront the Ming army with strong troops and horses to such an extent.

You must know that Benya Shili is a descendant of the serious Golden Family, and he is also the only recognized descendant of the Golden Family on the grassland. Arutai cannot compare.
