Chapter 139: Wings for Taisun and Eagle Dog for Taisun!
Chapter 139: Wings for the grandson, eagle and dog for the grandson!
The cavalrymen of the Han and Tang dynasties came here before, and Huo Qubing came here before.
Since the collapse of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the sons of the Han family have not set foot here for five hundred years.
Now he, Zhu Di, is here, and he is the first to come here as emperor.
At this moment, Zhu Di felt unprecedented satisfaction.
At this point in life, what more can I ask for!
He felt that he had truly reached perfection. As for the merits and demerits behind his life, those were the business of future generations, and he absolutely did not care.
He endured the pain and dragged his body with scars from the battlefield, and came here in person at the age of more than sixty years old.
At this time, Zhu Di only had the last thought left in his mind, which was to find the main force of the enemy army and engage in a roaring decisive battle.
This is what he wants, the life he has been pursuing tirelessly!
According to the original history, Zhu Di searched here for hundreds of miles but failed to find the main Tatar army. He had to regretfully retreat and eventually died of illness during the retreat.
But this time, there is an additional variable called Li Yunze.
When Li Yunze was ordered to lead an attack to find the location of the main force of Wala, he moved forward quickly until he reached Langjuxu Mountain.
This is a majestic and tall mountain range, and it is extremely difficult to climb over it.
If a small number of elite cavalry cross over, facing the huge grassland, they will not be able to play any reconnaissance role.
At this time, Li Yunze used black technology.
‘Buzz buzz~~~’
Amidst a strange sound that could make Youshi angry, a large drone ejected from the empty valley.
A few hours later, Li Yunze got the information he wanted.
The main force of Wala, which had been retreating all the way, was more than a hundred miles away opposite Langjuxu Mountain!
Without any hesitation, Li Yunze immediately rode his horse and took his soldiers with him, heading straight to the Ming army camp two hundred miles away.
"Not found? How could it not be found!"
In the Chinese army's tent, Zhu Di was getting angry: "The Tatar tribes have retreated again and again, and they have all retreated to the North Sea! Where else can they go! Where can so many people, at least a hundred thousand people, go!"
Zhu Di, who feels that his time is running out, has been very angry recently.
He didn't want to have any regrets in his last days, so he searched everywhere like crazy for the main Tatar force.
All the generals in the tent lowered their heads and remained silent, fearing that the emperor would use them as a source of anger.
Seeing Li Yunze entering, Zhu Di threw his hands away bitterly, "What are you doing back here? You haven't found any trace of the Tatars?"
"Your Majesty." Li Yunze saluted, "The general has found traces of the Tatars."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the big tent, and everyone looked at him sideways.
Zhu Di suddenly turned around and stared at him, "Say!"
"The last general led his troops to Langjuxu Mountain and found a large number of traces of movement across the mountain. It is very likely that the Tatars have fled to the other side of the mountain and are waiting to retreat after our army's food supplies are exhausted."
"Don't talk nonsense." Zhu Gaoxu stepped out and scolded, "It's just a trace. What kind of trace is this? None of you here have found any trace of the tribe's movement."
"His Majesty."
Li Yunze took a step forward, "The general is willing to put his head on his neck as a guarantee, and the Tatar royal court will be on the west side of Langjuxu Mountain!"
"It's simply ridiculous." Zhu Gaoxu retorted repeatedly, "The army is about to run out of food. If you can't find the Tatar Royal Court after climbing over Langjuxu Mountain, will your head be filled with the only opportunity to attack?"
"if not."
Li Yunze looked over with a stern look, "Why don't you seize the opportunity and just wait for the food to run out before retreating? Then what are we doing here? Come and taste the sweetness of the river water here?"
"snort."
Zhu Gaoxu rolled his eyes, "Of course I'm waiting for news from the sentry."
Li Yunze simply ignored him and looked directly at the silent Zhu Di, "Your Majesty, this opportunity cannot be missed, it will never come again. If you have the opportunity, you should take the initiative, otherwise the opportunity will run away!"
Looking at Li Yunze silently, Zhu Di asked in a deep voice, "How do you want to fight?"
"Choose the elite of the army, take only ten days of food and grass, and go straight over Langjuxu Mountain to the Tatar King's Court!"
This is Huo Qubing's tactic, don't care about anything and go straight to your royal court.
It is already thousands of miles away from here to the capital.
Moreover, there are grasslands, deserts and Gobi along the way. Sending grain, grass and military supplies all the way here has exceeded the limits of logistical support in this era.
Huang Ming's army could stay at most for ten days and a half, and then they had to retreat because of lack of food and grass supplies.
For Zhu Di, Li Yunze's proposal was the last chance.
If he missed it, he would have no choice but to retreat with regret.
"Wait for one more day." Zhu Di finally made the decision, "If there is no sentry to report the news to the Tatar Court tomorrow, I will follow your words!"
Just like Li Yunze said, if there is really no chance, there is nothing we can do, but if there is an opportunity, of course we cannot let it go.
Another day passed, and there was still no news of the discovery of the Tartar Royal Court.
Zhu Di no longer hesitated and directly ordered the mobilization of elites from various ministries to march towards Langjuxu Mountain.
Li Yunze and Zhu Gaosui accompanied him, while Zhu Gaosui, King of Zhao Jian, stayed behind at the camp.
Fifty thousand elites, with three thousand battalions as the main force, came straight to Langjuxu Mountain.
After meeting up with Li Yunze's troops who stayed here, they walked up the mountain with difficulty along the narrow mountain road.
The mountains of this era were truly big mountains. Apart from the beast paths taken by wild beasts, there was no such thing as a road at all.
More and more people got sick and injured along the way, fell off cliffs, and got lost and fell behind.
Zhu Di, who was almost exhausted, had only half his life left by the time he climbed over Langjuxu Mountain.
"Boy."
The embarrassed Zhu Gaoxu threatened Li Yunze bitterly, "If you can't find the Wala people, I won't be able to spare you!"
Naturally, Li Yunze would not take this threat seriously.
What he is thinking is that the old man is about to be unable to hold on any longer, and then I will not be able to spare you.
After crossing Langjuxu Mountain, the army repaired at the foot of the mountain, and at the same time reconnaissance cavalry went out to look for traces of the Tatars.
Two days later, scouts came back one after another, reporting that the Tatar royal court was more than a hundred miles away to the west!
"Finally found."
Zhu Di, who had been in low spirits for the past two days and had barely eaten a grain of rice, suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes, which were already somewhat absent-minded, were filled with the light of spirit.
"Okay, okay."
The Ming army quickly completed its repairs and marched straight towards the Tatar court.
On the Tatar side, Arutai never thought that the Ming army would pursue them to such an extreme place.
This is already the most bitterly cold place in the northwest, and even for grazing, there is no good water or grassland.
Not only are the cattle and sheep losing weight, but the lives of the tribesmen are becoming increasingly difficult.
But there was no other way. In order to avoid the terrifying front of the Ming army, we could only hide in this far west place.
In fact, this place was the Tatar land that the Eros conquered hundreds of years later.
Hundreds of years later, the Tatars were living in this bitter cold land because they were driven here by Zhu Di.
On this day, Arutai was leisurely drinking wine and eating roast lamb in his tent.
Just when I was thinking about how many days the Ming army's food and grass could last, I saw my son A Bu running in staggeringly.
Arutai was shocked, "What's going on?"
Abu, who was trembling, tremblingly said what Arutai was most afraid of: "The Ming army, the Ming army is coming to kill us!"
‘Danglang~~~’
The gold cup in Arutai's hand fell to the ground, and the wine spilled on the expensive carpet.
After sitting in silence for a while, Arutai stood up suddenly, pushed his son away, and rushed out of the tent with quick steps.
There is no need to go to the high platform, even if the commander is just standing in front of the big tent door, he can see the armored Great Wall rumbling over in the direction of Langjuxu Mountain, like a mountain collapsing and the earth is cracking.
"How can it be"
Arutai, the boss of the Tatar tribe at this time, was really frightened.
You have already hid here, why can the Ming army still chase you?
This is the end of the world!
What a hatred, what a hatred.
Isn't it just to kill the envoy named Guo Ji and kill all the 100,000 Ming army led by Qiu Fu? As for chasing him to the end of the world!
These Ming soldiers must all be crazy.
"What should we do?" Abu shouted anxiously after chasing him, "We are not prepared. The tribes are scattered everywhere, and it is too late to recruit them now."
"you!"
Arutai suddenly turned around and held Abu Ji's shoulders with both hands, "Let's take the golden sword warriors away now, and those who go to Wala first. Although we have enmity with Wala, we know that the country is powerful, and we will definitely take him in first."
your."
"Abu!" Abu's hands were shaking. "Let's go together!"
"I'm old and I can't walk thousands of miles anymore." Arutai smiled miserably. "The Ming Dynasty will definitely kill me. If I run away, they will continue to chase me to the end of the world."
Refuse to let me go. Only if I die here can you have a chance to escape."
"Abu!"
"Stop talking and leave quickly!"
Abbu, who was crying loudly, took out a dagger and cut his own face, causing blood to drip from his face.
"Abu, I will definitely avenge you!"
Watching Abu Ji'an and the Golden Sword Warriors, leading the horses and galloping towards the west, Arutai raised his hand and wiped his face. He was already a little fat, and the oily face suddenly showed up in his youth.
Only the ferocious color.
He pulled out his scimitar, which was inlaid with various gems, and called on the panicked herdsmen around him to rush forward with him.
"Akito, come on~~~"
The Tatar tribe, which had successfully evaded the head of the Ming Dynasty army in history, failed to evade this time.
When their specific location was detected by black technology, their final fate was already determined.
In this battle, the Ming army directly defeated the entire Tatar tribe, killed hundreds of nobles from Arutai and below, and captured more than 100,000 cattle, sheep, and horses.
The Tatar tribe, which had harassed the Ming Dynasty for many years, completely disappeared after this war.
However, the Ming Dynasty also paid a heavy price for this war. Their emperor fell ill the day after the war.
"His Majesty."
Li Yunze, who had been summoned alone, came to the Chinese army's tent, squatted in front of Zhu Di and called softly.
"Boy, you're here."
Zhu Di opened his eyes, his face serious, "Do you know what you want to do now?"
"I know." Li Yunze nodded sincerely, "I am in charge of the military. Please rest."
"Then why don't you do something?"
"I don't dare to do it until I get His Majesty's permission."
"Haha~~~" Zhu Di smiled, very happily.
After laughing, he looked at Li Yunze with soft eyes, "Be kind to your two uncles."
"Both uncles have the appearance of emperors and can build a country in a foreign land."
After hearing what Li Yunze said, Zhu Di was truly relieved and said, "Come out!"
Following his call, many noble generals poured out of the back tent.
They were fully clothed and holding swords in their hands. They looked at Li Yunze with somewhat complicated eyes.
If Li Yunze had not handled the situation properly before, he would have given this good saint a ride out of necessity.
Zhu Di took out two imperial edicts, the Emperor's Seal, the Tiger Talisman, and his sword Yongle Sword from the bedside!
Putting all these things in Li Yunze's hands, he immediately looked at the generals, "From now on, you will all follow the orders of the grandson! This is a legacy edict!"
Many military generals saluted Li Yunze and said, "Follow the Holy Order and serve as your grandson's wings and as your grandson's eagle and dog!"
Li Yunze did not look at the generals, but silently looked at the old man lying on the collapse in front of him.
After a moment, he slowly reached out and closed the eyes of the old man who had lost his breath.
After a long time, he stood up and faced the generals.
