Ten miles south of Qingtang City, Tie Mo saw Meng Ke who was leading his tribe. A visual inspection revealed that Meng Ke was not a strong man. He was not tall and was thin, but there was a sparkle in his eyes.
This was the first time for Munch to see the legendary Iron Governor, so according to the Mongolian ceremony, he put his right hand on his chest and said slowly, "A certain Munch family led his people to pay homage to the Iron Governor!"
"No need, Patriarch Meng cares about his people and he is really a good man in this world. As for what I promised you, I will naturally do it. However, the matters in Qingtang City are more important right now. I wonder if Patriarch Meng can wait patiently?
"
Tie Mo spoke kindly, not as vicious and unreasonable as in the legend. Meng had no choice but to nod his head in agreement. Fortunately, Tie Mo did not think of tricking Meng and giving some benefits to the Meng tribe.
Wouldn't it help to accept other alien races in the future?
The army surrounded Qingtang City. Zhuoerma sat in the room with a pale face. He couldn't understand why such a big change had happened in just a few days. He thought he could stop them. Sui once thought about the situation in northern Shanxi.
The army is so strong.
On the eighth day of February in the ninth year of Chongzhen, Tie Mo did not give Dolma too long. After waiting for two days, tens of thousands of troops launched a siege war under the command of Orger. Because Monk was outside to help recruit surrender, Qing Qing
The Mongols in Tang City were in a state of confusion. On the south wall, when Yi Song was shot down by Liu Guoneng, it also announced the fall of the south wall, followed by the east wall. On the eighth day of February, three hours of
After a fierce fight, the Northern Shanxi Army finally took control of this border town. The city was destroyed and the army was defeated. Dolma also committed suicide in the general's mansion.
After Qingtang City was captured, Wang Zuogao sent people to pick up hundreds of thousands of Monk tribesmen. Seeing that the Iron Governor was true to his word and really helped resettle the tribesmen, Monk's worry was relieved. Occupy
In the Qinghai area, the next step is naturally the Huangtou Uighur. Today, the ruler of the Huangtou Uighur is Moyan Khan, whose real name is Wumodu. After more than a hundred years of multiplication, the Huangtou Uighur has more than 200,000 people, almost as many as
The Xizhou Uighurs are equal, and both the Yellow-headed Uighurs and the Xizhou Uighurs have one thing in common, which is that they believe in Manichaeism.
Conquering the Yellow-headed Uighurs should not be a problem, but the Xizhou Uighurs are a bit troublesome. The Xizhou Uighurs have more than 40,000 armored men and cover a vast area. It is not that easy to conquer the Xizhou Uighurs. And in the south of the Uighurs
There was also a Khotanese in the middle. Yutian was a descendant of the Tocharians in the Tang Dynasty. In the early Tang Dynasty, after the Tocharians destroyed the Yuezhi Kingdom, their forces reached the Keriya River. In the Fifth Dynasty, they sent troops eastward and attacked Cheer.
Chenhe now has tens of thousands of young men, and his power cannot be underestimated.
Tie Mo feels that the current situation is getting more and more interesting. The Ming Dynasty has limited control over the western region, which makes the local forces complex. If you deal with them alone, you can easily win. The problem is that you must not let these Western Region forces unite. What should you do?
What about beating? Tie Mo was thinking about it, when Orger came into the room and gave Tie Mo a suggestion.
"Supervisor, since the Uighurs are heavily guarded, why don't we attack Kriya first and then defeat the Khotanese."
Tie Mo thought about Orger's proposal and felt that it made some sense. If he could attack the Khotanese first, he would be able to catch them by surprise and eliminate the possibility of the Xizhou Uighurs and the Khotanese joining forces. But after thinking about it, he shook his head again, "
My general, this method is good, but how can it be done? You must know that the Khotanese territory is separated by the Hoh Xil Mountains."
"Supervisor, I have heard before that the Hoh Xil Mountains are connected from east to west. Now we are not too anxious. Why not give it a try?"
Tie Mo thought carefully about Orger's words. If the Hoh Xil Mountains were connected from east to west, that is to say, they could directly pass through the Hoh Xil Mountains and arrive at the Kriya River unexpectedly. Soon, Tie Mo agreed to Orger's proposal.
Since there is no rush to start a war, why not give it a try. Maybe, as Orger said, we can find a way to the Kriya River.
"Orge, I have given you half a month, so you can give it a try, but you must not force it. In addition, I will put Sha Diao's mountain camp under your command!"
"Don't worry, Commander. If it doesn't work, the general will definitely return. If there is no movement for twenty days, then the general will definitely have found a way. Then the Commander can rest assured to attack Huangtou Huihe."
On the second day, Orger led an army of 8,000 people and rushed to the western pass of the Hoh Xil Mountain with the Shadiao Division.
The Hoh Xil Mountains are a broad spine that stretches across the plateau. Whether you can conquer these mysterious mountains depends on Orger's ability.
The ancient Dabsonnuoer has two beautiful rivers, they are the Golmud River and the Qaidam River. Standing on the Dulan Plateau, feeling the hunting wind. The wind on the plateau is a little earthy, which is a kind of
The wildness of the northwest is boundless as far as the eye can see. If Tie Mo wants to conquer anywhere, it must be the Uighurs in Xizhou, because there is green grassland there and it is the richest horse farm in the northwest. Where there is a horse farm, there is a cavalry.
, with cavalry, one can gallop across the world.
It has been half a month since Orger left, and it is now approaching the end of February. The wild wind in the northwest has become somewhat warm, but there has not been any movement in Hoh Xil. Tie Mo is really worried about Orger and Sha Diao.
Don't let any accidents happen, because there is the Hoh Xil Mountains. If there is an accident, the entire army may be ruined. Tie Mo was a little worried about Org, but Aiqi wanted to let it go. She held a riding crop in her hand, dangling it, so leisurely
His appearance is so enviable.
The wind is strong, but there is a warm sun in the sky. The Golmud River is like a silver ribbon, lying quietly in the yellow Gobi. There is a little starlight on the water, as if there is something hidden in the water. I don’t know what Aqige is thinking.
Yes, she lost her riding crop, lightly wiped her hair with her right hand, took off the hairpin, and waved to Asha in the distance, "Asha, I want to take a bath, go and get ready."
Aqige's voice was not quiet, and the Iron Superintendent heard it clearly. He frowned and shook his head in confusion. I didn't expect that Aqige also had a hobby of bathing in the open air.
Soon after, there was a small water felt tent in the Golmud River. He heard singing coming from the water. Tie Mo sat on a high slope and looked at the beautiful scenery. He stared at the beautiful Golmud River, but what he was thinking about was not romance.
, but the flash of swords and shadows. If there is no news of Org within two days, it is time to go north and take action against Huangtou Huihe.
After staying near the Qaidam River for nearly half a month, Tie Mo was not idle. He sent spies widely and had a clear picture of the situation of the Huangtou Uighurs and Caotou Tatars. Now it is informed that the Huangtou Uighurs are the most powerful.
The most powerful tribe is the Great Qaidan Tribe, whose leader is Tierle, who proclaims himself Huiheduo Khan. In addition to the Great Tsaidan Tribe, there are two relatively powerful groups, namely the Ayageku Tribe and the Ayageku Tribe, which are active on the north side of the Kunlun Mountains.
Chikkale tribe.
If we want to fight, we can only attack the Dachaidan tribe first. The other two tribes are too far away. To fight them, we have to go through the Kunlun Mountains. This march is not much easier than crossing the Hoh Xil Mountains. We can directly attack the Dachaidan tribe.
The tribe is not that easy. Tierle is not an idiot. The Northern Shanxi Army conquered Qingtang City and refused to leave. He felt that the Northern Shanxi Army had bad intentions, so he gathered all the children of the Dachaidan tribe early.
At the same time, he also formed an alliance with the Caotou Tatars, and the two sides gathered a total of 30,000 troops.
The Northern Shanxi Army has to face not only the well-prepared Tierle, but also to find a way to overcome the hundreds of miles of desert north of Dabsonnuoer. One-third of the land in Huangtou Huihe is desert Gobi Desert.
Over the past hundred years, the Uighur people have long been accustomed to this desert, but the Northern Shanxi Army is not. Facing the hundreds of miles of desert, it cannot be overcome by fighting bravely. It is not easy to go north, but Dutra arrives at Xuanhua Prefecture again.
Regarding Dutra, Tie Mo didn't dare to underestimate him. This old guy was very scheming. If he was really careless, he would definitely ruin something big.
On February 26, there was still no news coming back from the Hoh Xil Mountains. Tie Mo could only conclude that Orger and Zheng Biao had led their troops through Hoh Xil, so he summoned the generals that night, made an explanation, and had a secret conversation with Monk.
Early the next morning, the Northern Shanxi Army stationed in Qingtang City, Dulan, and Qinghai suddenly broke out of camp and headed south. There were more than 40,000 troops in each unit, and not a single person was left. They all rushed south toward Urg.
In the Gansu Military Department of Xuanhua Prefecture, Dutra has been thinking about how to prevent the Northern Shanxi Army from annexing the Huangtou Uighur. As a veteran who has commanded the army for decades, Dutra certainly knows what Tie Mo’s purpose is. To defeat the Huangtou Uighur,
It's nothing more than trying to open up the road to the Xizhou Uighurs. The Xizhou Uighurs are a vast territory with many large horse farms. If this area is occupied by Tiemo, the consequences will be disastrous. Dutra actually thought about leading his troops to occupy it.
Uighurs, but the current strength of Mobei really does not have the strength to annex the Uighurs.
"Khan, there is an urgent report from Qingtang City. All the troops of the Northern Shan Dynasty have withdrawn south recently. There is not a single soldier left in Qingtang City and Zongge City. Even the Monk troops near Dulan have all moved into Guanzhong.
"
Hearing the news from the soldiers, Dutra was stunned at first, and then looked in disbelief. Are you kidding? Tie Mo will withdraw his troops? There is not even a single soldier left. How can Dutra believe that Tie Mo will withdraw his troops?
, after hearing this, his first reaction was that there was a conspiracy, "Send more people and investigate again!"
Time passed little by little, and Dutra was walking around in the room. Originally, if the Northern Shanxi Army went north and entangled with Tierle's troops, he would be able to attack Northern Shanxi from the flanks with the Tatars.
Army. Defeat the Northern Shanxi Army? It is not necessary at all. With this hundred miles of desert, as long as it is delayed for a period of time, the Northern Shanxi Army will naturally be defeated. But now that the Northern Shanxi Army has not come, won’t the previous arrangements lose their effect?
?Dutra was very uneasy. He never thought that Tie Mo was a person who would give up his interests easily, let alone that the interests were already on his lips.
At about the end of the day, the spies kept returning, "Your Highness, the Han people in Qingtang City, Dulan, and Qinghai have all withdrawn, leaving no one behind. They have now returned to the Jishi Army."
"Really gone?" Dutra raised his gray brows and put his hand on his forehead with a sad look on his face. What on earth did Tie Mo want to do? What kind of tricks was the Han man playing?
Dutra was right about everything. Tie Mo was indeed playing a trick. Did all the troops in the direction of Qingtang City and Dulan really withdraw? Of course not, they had discussed with Monk last night to let his thousands
They put on the uniforms of the Northern Shanxi Army, while Liu Guoneng's Northern Shanxi Army put on the Monk costumes and entered the Qilian Mountains in disorder. Tie Mo was not an idiot. He also knew how to go to the Baili Desert to fight with the Dachaidan tribe.
Fighting is such a dangerous thing. Although the Northern Shan army is powerful, it is even more powerful in the hundreds of miles of desert.
There were too many uncertainties in the frontal battle with Tierle. Since there was no way to get through from the front, we had to attack from the side. So we decided to send people from the Qilian Mountains to directly attack the Caotou Tatars, and then pose a threat to Tierle from the flanks.
However, it was too obvious to directly send troops to the Qilian Mountains, and others were not fools. It was estimated that as soon as the Northern Shanxi Army entered the Qilian Mountains, people would know what the Northern Shanxi Army was going to do, so Tie Mo asked Liu Guoneng's people to switch with Monk's people.
Serve, and then ordered the entire army to retreat, which completely confused Dutra and others.
On the first day of March in the ninth year of Chongzhen, the Northern Shanxi Army, which had rested for two days in Jishi Army, once again marched out of Urg, such as Qingtang City and Zongge City. This time, the Northern Shanxi Army marched very fast, taking only one day.
They rushed from Urg to the vicinity of Dabsunnuoer, and at this time Liu Guoneng's troops also arrived at the Dangjin Pass in the northern part of the Qilian Mountains. On the second day of March, Org and Yang Zaixing led four thousand cavalry from Dabsunnuoer and entered Qaidah.
Mu Basin, the target is directly at Mangya in the north. Mangya is more than 40 miles northwest of the Dachaidan tribe. After Tierle heard that the cavalry of the Northern Shanxi Army attacked Mangya, his first reaction was to mobilize troops to Mangya.
The first reaction was to lead the warriors of each tribe southward and block the main force of the Northern Jin Army in the desert south of the Dachaidan tribe.
The cavalry of the Northern Shanxi Army attacked Mangya just to contain the tribal warriors. But if most of the soldiers and horses did not move towards Mangya, what could the cavalry of the Northern Shanxi Army do?
Tierle thought he was very smart and saw through the Northern Shanxi Army's plan, but how could he have thought that Orger and Yang Zaixing were not heading for Mangya at all?
Tie Mo also led his army to enter the Qaidam Basin.
At early noon on the second day of March, more than 4,000 cavalrymen rushing towards Mangya suddenly changed direction and accelerated towards the northeast. Tierle's men who rushed towards Mangya were in vain, and they could only rush back in panic.
When Tierle heard that the cavalry of the Northern Shanxi Army was running to the northeast, he immediately panicked. Are those Han cavalry going towards the grass-headed Tatars? Ordinarily, the cavalry of the Northern Shanxi Army went to fight the grass-headed Tatars.
There is nothing to be afraid of in Erle, because more than 4,000 cavalrymen are rushing towards the Tatars. If this lone army goes deep, what kind of trouble can it cause?
But Tierle felt that the Northern Shanxi Army was not like those incompetent fools. Since they dared to attack the Tatars, they must have some back-up plan. They could not watch the Tatars being destroyed. Once they were destroyed, Da Chai Dan would be destroyed.
