Tumen Khan's losses in the Battle of Monan were really too great. In addition, he also attacked Tieling again. Although the offensive was successful, it still had to waste a lot of manpower and material resources. Therefore, although he proposed the attack on Liaonan this time,
came out, but in fact the number of troops sent by the Chahar Department was even less than that of the Chaohua Department.
This time heading south to southern Liaoning, the Chahar tribe sent 8,000 troops. The Chahar tribe originally planned to send 10,000 troops. Later, in order to round up the round number, it was raised to 12,000. The two sides totaled 20,000 cavalry. They planned to take advantage of the crisp autumn weather and the lush vegetation.
It's a good time to go to Liaonan to make a fortune, and lay a good foundation for surviving this winter after heavy losses this year.
Of course, the heavy losses mainly refer to the Chahar Department. The Frozen Flower Department did not suffer any losses. Not only did they not suffer any loss, they also made a small profit. The Dong Fox Department, which was relatively close to the Frozen Flower Department, was beaten by Li Chengliang.
When it almost collapsed, many people fled to the Fried Flower Club, which was "originally from the same roots." So in fact, the strength of the Fried Flower Club was strengthened quite a bit as a blessing in disguise after the Monan War this year.
However, this enhancement is slightly flawed, that is, most of these fleeing people did not have much belongings left, and basically fled lightly. In addition to the horses under their legs, they had at most a little bit of softness and a little bit of clothing.
Just the clothes you carry with you.
In other words, they had no cattle or sheep, and no rations for the winter.
As the current owner of these people, Chaohua has the obligation to find a solution for this.
Originally, the fried flowers were planned to be "internally distributed". After all, Li Chengliang seemed to be at the peak of his military strength. Mr. fried flowers could not afford to offend this killer, and Tumen Khan's side seemed to have no hope.
Otherwise, why could even Chahanhot be barely recovered, but the vital city of Daning is still in the hands of Qi Jiguang?
Although I feel sorry for the cattle and sheep, there is nothing I can do about it. To use a famous saying from later generations that I don't know about, this is called "the pain of so-and-so". So-and-so, here is not "transformation", but "before development"
" means. As long as he survives this wave, his flower speculation department's population will increase significantly, can he still rise?
In the past, he was only one of the three guards of Duoyan, even the weakest among them, otherwise he would not have been driven to the Liaohe Hetao, a dangerous area sandwiched between western Liaoning and eastern Liaoning.
However, he is very likely to become the only master of the Duoyan Three Guards in the future. After all, Dong Hu is dead now, and Chang'ang has gone all the way to join Tumote because of the loss of the city and the fear of the punishment of the Tumen Khan.
Just when Chaohua was in pain and happy, Tumen Khan came and brought an excellent news - he was invited to send troops to plunder Liaonan!
He had already done it once with Tumen Khan in the sixth year of Wanli to plunder Liaonan. It was a mixed bag of good and bad, but the benefits were more - although he lost three hundred
There were many cavalry, but they brought back a large amount of grain and cloth, as well as more than 700 strong Han men and women.
The grain and cloth allowed him to live a rare and prosperous life in the flower tribe, while the strong men and women kept part of it for themselves, and the rest was awarded to the meritorious soldiers, which also improved his prestige in the tribe. It was really a blessing.
This time Tumen Khan invited him to plunder Liaonan again, and Huahua was of course very happy. The only thing he was worried about was Li Chengliang's reaction. After all, the last time he went to Liaonan, although it went smoothly overall, he was caught by Li Chengliang in the end.
Tails gave him a good beating, but he still remembered the pain.
But Tumen Khan quickly convinced him. To be precise, it was the young man next to Tumen Khan who convinced him. This Xinai son named Burihatu first informed Chaohua of Li Chengliang’s movements, and then
It has already made the speculators excited - since Li Chengliang has gone to the mountains and forests to fight Gule Village, he will not be able to come back for a while.
Not to mention this, Burihatu also analyzed the reasons why Li Chengliang did this while the iron was hot. He was so happy when he heard it - Ming people are really brainless, especially those civil servants who are stupid in reading.
It was difficult for someone as powerful as Li Chengliang to be put to good use, and he actually had trouble with him, forcing him to take the initiative to reveal his flaws and let himself and others go to Liaonan to plunder, forcing the guy named Gao Pragmatic.
However, I am used to being cautious when speculating, and suddenly I thought that Gao Pragmatic had finally won the Monan War. I am afraid that he also has a few brushes at his hands. If he goes wild on his territory, will he steal the chicken but lose the rice?
After all, Burihatu is a rare wise man among Mongolians. He could see Chaohua's worries at a glance. He said calmly: "Is Chaohua Taiji worried about being pragmatic?"
Chaohua was surprised: "How do you know?"
It’s all written on your fucking face, how can I still know?
Burihatu was scornful in his heart, but had an incomprehensible expression on his face. He did not answer this, but simply said calmly: "There is nothing terrible about Gao pragmatism. The reason why Tumut's battle allowed him to occupy
It was not because of how powerful he or the Ming army was, but because Han Naji's Tumo Texi post was extremely strong, and Tuo Tuo was a real hero - you know that, Tumo
The power of Tewei spread thousands of miles south of the desert, from Jizhou to Qinghai. Its strength is extraordinary."
When he said this, Chaohua really believed it. After all, Tumut was really strong. During the Anda Khan period, Tumut not only suppressed the Ming Dynasty with a population of one trillion for decades, but also forced the Mongolian Khan
Moving east to Chahar, although Anda is dead now, he only died just now. It is impossible for Tumote to decline all of a sudden, right?
Therefore, Chaohua feels that Burihatu is not bragging for Tumote. The key factor in this battle is that Tumote himself is too strong, not that the Ming army is strong - the Ming army is so strong?
For example, in Liaodong, if it weren't for Li Chengliang's 40,000 servants, let alone the Tumen, even if he was speculating, he would dare to go to Liaodong every day to plunder left and right, and even occupying one or two of his cities would not be impossible!
Thinking of this, Chaohua suddenly became angry - Li Chengliang was not only absent, but it seemed that he was absent on purpose, which meant that Li Chengliang would definitely not come to rescue him during the invasion of Liaonan this time!
Well, even if he has to come and clean up the mess sooner or later, it is just a mess after all, right? As long as I run away after grabbing it, Li Chengliang will definitely be "too far away to catch up".
Then what are you afraid of? Hurry up and grab it! If you miss this opportunity, how long will it take for me to make the master of Duoyan? By then, maybe everyone in the world will have to restructure and turn the "five rulers" into
It has become a six-ruling state!
Chaohua Taiji was very excited and took the initiative to say: "Since the Great Khan had suffered some losses in Monan before, and the number of troops sent this time is slightly smaller than usual, then I will provide one or two more cavalry here, and add two thousand more cavalry, for a total of twelve thousand
, to collect 20,000 cavalry for the Great Khan, and go south to Liaodong to make a fortune... No, to go south to Liaodong to invade the Ming Dynasty, what does the Great Khan think?"
Although everyone went there to make a fortune, Tumen naturally didn't want to admit it, so they pretended not to hear the word "make a fortune" clearly, nodded and said: "Great Mongolia has such loyal ministers as Chaohua Taiji. It is really the relationship between Genghis Khan and
I am very pleased with Dayan Khan's blessing... I will do as Chahua Taiji said. When the work is completed, this harvest will be divided equally between your tribe and Chahar tribe."
The Chahar tribe sent 8,000 troops and the Chahua tribe sent 12,000 troops, but the result was "an equal share of the harvest." Of course it is very unfair, but there is never absolute fairness in the world. Tumen belongs to all Mongolia.
Great Khan, although the Chahar tribe suffered a lot of losses this time, the emaciated camels were bigger than horses. Chaohua really didn’t dare to demand that the spoils be distributed according to the number of troops sent. Tumen
Being willing to give him an equal share is already a very honorable move.
Therefore, Chaohua immediately agreed, mobilized his troops, and headed south with the eight thousand cavalry led by Tumen Khan himself.
On August 20, the coalition forces of Chahar and Duoyan crossed the Clam River, a tributary of the Liao River, and approached the Sanchakou area of the Liaohe River. The forts in the Sancha River, such as Changning Fort, Dongsheng Fort, and Dongchang Fort, were threatened by their front.
, Xining Fort, Pingshan Taibao, etc. all suddenly became nervous.
At this time, only thirteen days had passed since Zhang Wanbang took up the garrison of Dongchang Fort!
