Chapter 057 Qi Li sends troops

Tumen is very unhappy these days.

The first thing that made him unhappy was Su Bahai's refusal to follow him on the expedition to the right wing. The second thing that made him unhappy was that both Dong Hu and Chang Ang of the Duoyan tribe were unwilling to be recruited by him.

Leng said that both Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang were strengthening their military preparations and intending to attack his troops.

What made Tumen angry was that Dong Hu said that Li Chengliang might want to attack him, so it was okay, because his old camp was in Harawusu (near Jianchang on the upper reaches of the Daling River in Liaoning in later generations), and Guangning, Li Chengliang's seat of government, was not far away from him.

Very far.

But Chang Ang said that Qi Jiguang wanted to beat him, which made Tumen very angry.

You have to be reasonable in your damn farts. How many times did Qi Jiguang go out to fight? He is a general who is good at infantry combat, and he doesn't have many serious cavalry under his command. When he goes out to fight against you, the baggage he needs is you.

Help him transport it?

This is simply unreasonable! I don’t want to send troops to help Ben Khan, but I can find such a weak excuse.

Now it was better. He went out to fight like the Great Khan of Mongolia. He sent orders everywhere to recruit men and horses. After a long time, no one came. He could only take the 60,000 chahar troops to Tumut. There was no prestige at all.

Tumen was secretly furious. After defeating the weakling Han Naji this time, he must firmly control Tumut in his hands. When the time comes, he has such a strong support as Tumut, and he wants to see who else can't.

I'm convinced, who else dares to go against my will!

But what Tumen didn't know was that Li Chengliang, whom he thought might send troops, did indeed send troops, and Qi Jiguang, who he thought was impossible, also sent troops!

However, the two of them sent troops this time somewhat beyond everyone's expectations.

First of all, Li Chengliang did not go directly to fight Dong Fox, but left Taipingbao and went straight to Chahanhot.

Secondly, Qi Jiguang did not have trouble with Chang'ang. Instead, he set out from Shanhaiguan and inexplicably captured the Dragon King Temple not far northwest of Shanhaiguan. He was stuck between Chang'ang and Dong Huwei (theoretically they were Duoyan guards).

.

Chahanhot is a little far away. Although Li Chengliang's troops are all cavalry, they won't be able to arrive for a while, so they will leave it alone for the time being and talk about Qi Jiguang's side first.

The Dragon King Temple that Qi Jiguang captured is not a strategic location - well, for the Mongolian cavalry, it is not a strategic location. It is not the Tumut side, which has already begun to be farmed, and there is a big plan to raise the city.

And a must-defend place like Guihua City.

The Dragon King Temple is just a small place. It just imitates the Han people's way of holding a few markets. The goods in the market are relatively miscellaneous, including Jurchen specialty furs, ginseng, Mongolian cattle, sheep and horses, and Ming Dynasty's various products.

There are also products - smuggled.

But the market itself is not big, and Qi Jiguang does not seem to occupy it for the purpose of looting - the Ming army will also loot, especially when it comes to robbing Mongolians, and they are not lenient at all, but generally there is no chance.

However, Qi Jiguang didn't care about looting. He just drove away the Mongolian and Jurchen traders here like driving lambs, and then stayed here without moving.

Both Dong Hu and Chang Ang got the news quickly.

Chang'ang was shocked, thinking that Qi Jiguang was really going to send troops to attack him, so he hurriedly summoned his troops and sent an envoy to see Qi Jiguang, asking him that since he redeemed his uncle Changbald and restored market tribute with the Ming Dynasty, he had been keeping his peace. Qi Jiguang

Why did the governor raise an army to invade?

Qi Jiguang received the envoy with a smile and said to the envoy: Now that the spring is beautiful, I will go out to see the scenery. Commander Chang'ang does not need to worry about it. After seeing the scenery, I will naturally go back.

Chang'ang's envoy asked around but couldn't tell the truth. He just ran back to report in confusion, saying that Qi Jiguang claimed to be here to see the scenery.

Chang'ang naturally didn't believe it, but he didn't believe it. Qi Jiguang really didn't come to kill him - the Dragon King Temple was a small market that gathered by itself. Chang'ang didn't even send anyone to collect taxes. Although that place was supposedly his

territory, but there is really no stake in it.

Moreover, Qi Jiguang did not kill anyone. Even if he sent people to Yanjing of the Ming Dynasty to file a complaint, it seems that Qi Jiguang could only say that he entered his "defense zone" without authorization, which is of little significance.

But Qi Jiguang being stuck in this position really made him unhappy, because it showed that he could only stay at home and guard against Qi Jiguang's further moves - if he went northwest to attack Kuanhe or Fuyu, it would not be good.

In fact, when Qi Jiguang moved his troops here, Dong Hu was more nervous than Chang Ang.

The news received by Dong Hu's troops was more urgent than that from Chang'ang - because on one side, Qi Jiguang sent troops to occupy his right wing, and on the other side, Li Chengliang sent troops to "pass by" on his left wing.

Although it seems that Qi Jiguang is "not moving" and Li Chengliang is "passing by", how can this be said? If Qi Jiguang suddenly comes to the northeast and Li Chengliang turns to the southwest, wouldn't he be caught in both directions?

Outflanked?

The opponents are Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang! He, Dong Hu, can't beat them all the way, and now they are coming from both ways. How can he not be nervous?

To put it bluntly, if Qi Jiguang had set up a grand formation and Li Chengliang's cavalry cooperated in the encirclement and suppression, let alone Dong Hu, even if Tumen Khan turned around and rushed back, it's hard to say whether he would dare to fight!

Didn’t the Han people talk about one right and one strange...the way to use military force? This is it!

Therefore, Dong Hu was even more nervous than Chang Ang. While he sent people to ask Qi Jiguang what was going on, he also sent people to find Li Chengliang to ask what was going on.

Qi Jiguang was easy to find, but Qi Jiguang's reply was still nonsense, and he even told him that he was here to see Chunguang...

Li Chengliang is even more troublesome. He can't even be found - he has been lost!

Now Dong Hu was even more nervous, fearing that one night he would wake up and find that the old camp had been trampled by Li Chengliang.

Having no choice, Dong Hu sent someone to deliver a message to Tumen Khan who was guarding Chahanhot, telling him that Li Chengliang was heading towards Chahanhot and asking him to be careful. At the same time, he also said that his place was extremely dangerous and hoped that

He can come to help and give his brother a hand.

Su Bahai was originally worried about Li Chengliang, but his report was sent back in time, telling him that Li Chengliang only brought about 15,000 cavalry out of the customs, and the rest of the army remained in Guangning.

Su Banghai felt much more relaxed now. Although Li Chengliang was powerful, fifteen thousand people were not enough to do anything to him.

Subahai Town guarded Chahanhot, but he brought almost the entire Inner Khalkha mobile force, more than 30,000 troops - this was the force he originally planned to go south to rob "a large amount of materials transported from Shanhaiguan to Liaodong".

Therefore, he quickly thought about it and decided to move the entire army south. Anyway, there was nothing to rob in Chahanhot, so the Great Khan's troops all moved north.

This decision to rush Hai became the key to his death.
