The troops led by Xu Yingxu and Zhu Gui soon met in the center of the Mongolian camp.
"General Xu, how are you? Have you captured the leader of the Mongols?" Xu Yingxu asked eagerly after Zhu Gui struck his sword.
"My subordinates are incompetent. I didn't meet the Mongolian leader along the way. Maybe he ran away." Xu Yingxu said with an apologetic look.
"It doesn't matter, they haven't gone far yet. I am leading the army to pursue you. You come and clean the battlefield. If we really haven't caught him, maybe the leader is in the Mongolian army that left before." Zhu Gui said decisively.
said.
"Yes, I will obey my orders."
So the two separated again and led their teams to divide and clean the battlefield.
Zhu Gui led his army to pursue all the way to the rear of the Mongolian camp, until they reached the position where Xu Yingxu left an ambush of a thousand men.
These people did capture a lot of Mongolian deserters, but none of them looked like commanders.
Zhu Gui sighed and could only let his two Qianhu continue to pursue along the mainland direction, and then he went back with the remaining troops to continue to sweep away the Mongols.
The war situation had stabilized, so Zhu Gui had several Mongolian generals brought in. After some interrogation, he found out that the leader of this Junggar tribe army was actually Emperor Tianyuan.
This made Zhu Gui both shocked and regretful. What was surprising was that he didn't expect Tianyuandi to appear here. He didn't know if it was a coincidence of fate or the result of him changing history.
What I regret is that if I had known that Emperor Tian Yuan was here, he should have used his troops more sharply. If he could capture Tian Yuan Land here, the Northern Yuan Dynasty could be ended, and many things could be changed.
But it was too late now. He could only hope that the Ming army that went out to sweep up could capture Tianyuandi, but this possibility was too slim.
Half an hour later, Xu Yingxu came to Zhu Gui's camp and reported to him the results of cleaning the battlefield.
This time another 20,000 Mongolian prisoners were captured, and their casualties were less than 2,000. It can be said to be another beautiful victory.
But Xu Yingxu found that Zhu Gui was not happy at all after hearing the news.
"My lord, what's on your mind?" Xu Yingxu asked.
Zhu Gui had no choice but to tell the intelligence obtained from the previous interrogation of the Mongolian generals.
Xu Yingxu was also very surprised after hearing this.
"Emperor Tianyuan? I will lead people to hunt him down right now."
After Xu Yingxu finished speaking, he left the camp without waiting for Zhu Gui to speak. It seemed that he also understood Xu Yingxu's significance to this war.
As long as Emperor Tianyuan is captured, the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Mongols can even be ended, Xu Yingxu thought so.
Zhu Gui did not stop him, or he originally wanted to send him to hunt down Tian Yuandi.
After defeating the Mongolian army again, the situation here has quietly changed, and the balance of power between the Ming army and the Mongols has become more balanced.
Zhu Gui has received news that the Mongols surrounding Shazhouwei and Anping have begun to withdraw.
Zhu Gui also sent two thousand-man cavalry teams to the two border towns, on the one hand to stabilize the morale of the troops, and on the other hand to inform them of the results of these battles with the Mongols.
This is a great opportunity to win people's hearts, and Zhu Gui will naturally not let it go.
But Zhu Gui was still very concerned about the whereabouts of Emperor Tianyuan.
"Could Emperor Tianyuan have been hiding in the Mongolian army that left? Could he have returned to the grassland?"
Xu Miaoqing asked in a low voice while picking oranges next to Zhu Gui.
"It is possible. According to what those Mongolians said, Emperor Tianyuan is only in his twenties. It is very rare for him to be able to visit the battlefield in person."
Zhu Gui nodded and agreed with Xu Miaoqing's statement, but he was still a little unwilling. This was a major turning point in rewriting history.
No one would be willing to accept the opportunity that is right in front of us but then slips away. Maybe this is fate.
Although he was unwilling, Zhu Gui knew that he had done what he could, and the rest could only be left to God.
However, Xu Yingxu gave Zhu Gui a surprise. He actually captured Tianyuan Emperor Togu Si Timur.
It turns out that Togu Si Timur was indeed captured by the ambush soldiers left by Xu Yingxu, but because no one knew him, he was treated as an ordinary prisoner and added to the military camp.
Later, when a Qianhu led a Mongolian general to identify other important figures among the prisoners, he discovered something strange about the Mongolian, so he took him out. After some torture, he was surprised to learn that he was a North Korean.
Emperor Yuan of the Yuan Dynasty Tuo Gu Si Timur.
When Zhu Gui got the news, he stood up from his chair in surprise.
The empress of the Northern Yuan Dynasty was quickly brought to Zhu Gui's camp.
Zhu Gui couldn't hide the joy on his face when he saw the empress of Beiyuan kneeling in front of him, looking embarrassed but still proud.
"Are you Tianyuan Emperor Tuogu Si Timur?" Zhu Gui asked in a deep voice.
Togu Si Timur raised his head and glanced at Zhu Gui, with a look of surprise in his eyes. He never expected that the leader of the Ming army who defeated his 150,000-strong army would be such a young boy.
"Which vassal king of the Ming Dynasty are you?" Togu Si Timur asked.
"I am the acting king Zhu Gui. I didn't expect to see you here in this way. Come on, please take a seat." Zhu Gui did not lose his etiquette.
Zhu Gui's personal guards quickly brought a chair to Togu Si Timur, and then untied him at the request of the other party.
Togu Si Timur was even more surprised, "Your Highness, aren't you afraid that I will escape?"
"Since I dare to do this, I naturally have my reasons. What's more, now that you are in front of me, it means that this war is over. Am I right?" Zhu Gui said very domineeringly.
said.
Togu Si Timur nodded helplessly and agreed with the other party's statement.
"Now that the war is over, let's talk about things other than the war." Zhu Gui continued.
"Outside of the war? Me and the prince? Shouldn't the prince send me to Nanjing to be handed over to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty?" Togu Si Timur asked in surprise.
"Yes, this should be done according to the normal process, but if you cooperate, there may be another way to choose. Now it depends on your attitude." Zhu Gui said with a smile.
Togu Si Timur frowned, but he soon realized the current situation. As a prisoner, he didn't have much bargaining chips at all, so he said, "My lord, let's talk about it, as long as I can save my life."
, any conditions are negotiable.”
Zhu Gui was very satisfied with the cooperative attitude shown by Togu Si Timur.
