Cheng Jing hurriedly walked in, cupping his hands.
“Your Majesty, here comes the Minister Yu, there is an urgent military situation.”
“Call!”
Zhu Qiyu looked calm, but in fact he was very nervous inside.
Calculating the time, Yang Xin and Fan Guang should have taken action. After several adventures and painstaking efforts at the border, it was finally time to close the net.
However, even though he was confident, he still couldn't help but get a little sweaty on his palms.
Yu Qian strode into Wuying Hall as usual, but his face could not hide the joy. As soon as he stood firm in the hall, he hurriedly bowed and said.
"Your Majesty, Datong Military News reported that Xuanfu Yang Xin led an army of 5,000, and Datong Fan Guang led an army of 6,000. They attacked Yanghekou from the east and west respectively. Now they have recaptured Yanghe, and captured thousands of horses and hundreds of grains in the city.
vehicle."
"Three thousand enemies were wiped out in this battle, and the bandit Polo led two thousand remaining soldiers and fled in a panic to the depths of the grassland."
“At the same time, Datong defender Guo Deng led an army of 15,000 men and fought against King Bodu. In this battle, our army lost 5,000 men and horses, and annihilated 3,000 enemies. King Bodu was wounded and fled.”
Zhu Qiyu suddenly stood up from his throne, also beaming with joy, and kept saying:
“Okay, okay, okay!”
Taking the detailed military report that Tai Qian had just submitted from Cheng Jing's hand, Zhu Qiyu breathed a long sigh of relief. After reading the general's report in detail, his excitement gradually calmed down.
Putting the General's newspaper on the table, Zhu Qiyu's eyes were burning and he said.
“Yu Shangshu, according to the military report, both Polo and Bodu kings led their troops to flee back to the grassland?”
Yu Qian nodded. Although he had already known the news, he still felt unreal until now.
At the very beginning, the capital was in crisis, so he was thinking very hard, and all he could think about was how to save the capital.
Nowadays, Ye Xian's army has been blocked outside Zijing Pass. Tuotuo Buhua and Alazhiyuan, who were eyeing Liaodong and Xuanfu, have retreated one after another. Yanghekou, which is Ye Xian's logistics transfer center, has been recaptured. The troops stationed outside Datong City have
King Bodu was wounded and fled.
The situation is not only great, it is simply great!
To put it bluntly, the external pressure on the entire border defense line of the Ming Dynasty has basically been relieved, except for the 10,000 people led by Saikan Wang outside Gubeikou.
Ye Xian led the army, but its logistics was cut off, and foreign aid fled in panic. As he penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, he himself became a veritable lone army!
Yu Qian took a step forward and said.
"Your Majesty, for the present plan, we should take advantage of the victory to pursue and order the border army to retreat and form an encirclement with our army. We will annihilate our army first in one fell swoop!"
Zhu Qiyu nodded. At this moment, he had regained his composure and said.
"Having said that, we should not take it completely lightly. Although King Bodu fled, he still has thousands of troops in his hands. In addition, there are more than ten thousand bandits led by King Saikan outside. If the two merge, the border will also be unstable.
Easy to deal with.”
Yu Qian gradually calmed down after hearing this. This was indeed because he didn't think carefully enough.
But this is normal. Anyone who hears such good news will be happy and have some thoughts.
After thinking about it, Yu Qian said.
“King Bodu has fled deep into the grassland. Together with the army transferred by Fan Guang, Datong now has more than 20,000 troops. However, the grassland is vast, and it may be difficult to determine the direction in which King Bodu is fleeing.”
"Therefore, I would like to leave 10,000 horses to defend Datong. The remaining 10,000 can be stationed in Yanghe and other places. Be careful to prevent King Bodu from taking advantage of our carelessness and invade the border again. We must save each other first."
“In addition, Aiyangkou is still in the hands of the enemy. Yang Xin can be ordered to garrison Yanghe. Fan Guang will follow the trend and capture Aiyangkou, completely cutting off Ye Xian’s retreat."
This is a safer method, Zhu Qiyu nodded and said.
"This alone is not enough. After this battle, King Bodu may not dare to invade the border rashly again. However, the 10,000 horses in the hands of King Saikan still have no major battle losses, so border defense still needs to be taken into account.
Over there with the king."
He also has ambition first, but at the same time, he also has resourcefulness.
Having experience in his previous life, Zhu Qiyu knew that Alazhiyuan had already begun to secretly hook up with Totuo Buhua from this time on, so in the name of negotiation, he asked Tuotuobuhua to lead the rebellious boy Alazhiyuan directly.
Retreat.
On King Bodu's side, he ordered Fan Guang to secretly mobilize more than 20,000 troops to reinforce Datong and give him a severe blow.
So in fact, the results of this battle exceeded Zhu Qiyu's expectations.
His order to Guo Deng was to stop King Bodu, prevent him from going south to capture Yanghe, and provide support first.
But Guo Deng seemed to be extraordinarily brave this time. Not only did he kill thousands of enemies, he even shot and wounded King Bodu, forcing him to flee in panic.
In this way, the threat from King Bodu can be put aside for the time being.
Then only King Saikan’s 10,000 horses are left.
King Saikan was Ye Xian’s most trusted younger brother, and it was impossible to instigate rebellion. Although he attacked Gubeikou, it was just a feint attack, and his combat power was basically not damaged.
And for some unknown reason, after Tuotuo Buhua withdrew his army, King Saikan remained stationed outside Gubeikou as if he had not noticed.
Compared to King Bodu, King Saikan is really difficult to deal with.
After thinking about it, Zhu Qiyu said.
“In this way, the Gubeikou garrison is ordered to monitor the king of Saikan day and night, and if he makes any changes, he will report it immediately.”
“In addition, the general immediately sent the report to Zijingguan, and ordered Wang Wen and Ren Li to stop the attack at the camera, and make a quick decision. We must let Oala go, and he will never dare to attack our Ming Dynasty again in this life.”
Yu Qian took the order and went down. Just as he was about to turn around, two servants hurried in from outside to report.
“Your Majesty, Wu Ning, the Minister of War, is outside asking for a meeting, saying that there is an urgent military situation.”
Zhu Qiyu had a vague premonition in his heart and immediately spoke.
“Send him in!”
Not a moment later, an old man wearing a light crimson official robe, dusty with travel, walked in. After the same hurried greeting, he took out a complete wax-sealed military report from his sleeve and said.
“Your Majesty, there is an urgent military report coming from Gubeikou.”
Zhu Qiyu and Yu Qian looked at each other. Sure enough, they were worried about what they were worried about!
Took the military report submitted by Wu Ning from Cheng Jing's hand, raised his hand and opened it.
According to regulations, only the officer-in-charge of the Ministry of War has the authority to reveal an emergency military situation like this. Wu Ning was only an assistant officer, so after receiving the military report, he could only send it to the palace immediately. Therefore, Zhu Qiyu was the first to see it.
to this military report.
Yu Qian then saw that the emperor's face darkened visibly.
After a while, the emperor put down his newspaper, looked up at Yu Qian, and said.
“Report from Gubeikou that King Saikan’s army is heading northeast!”
Northeast direction?
Yu Qian took a deep breath, his brows suddenly knitted together, and he and Wu Ning shouted almost at the same time.
