The cavalry divisions led by Mao Chenglu were all cavalry formed by the Mongols. But these cavalry, their families and they all received great kindness from Mao Wenlong.

Mongolians are honest and straightforward. Their creed is that if you have been kind to me, we will not repay you with any nonsense. I will just give you my heart and my life and that will be it.

In fact, Cao Wenzhao of the Grassland Group failed unjustly. He was not a stupid person, and in terms of tactics and strategy, he was definitely a great person in the late Ming Dynasty. In history, he once helped the Ming Dynasty pacify Guanzhong and threatened the Ming Dynasty.

Shocked Shaanxi. Shanxi's 200,000 bandit army rose up. Cao Wenzhao sent 3,000 men and horses, and the light cavalry advanced at starry night. The bandit army they killed was retreated steadily. However, they were eventually transferred by the court three times a day, and the men and horses were exhausted. At that time, the Ming Dynasty was outrageous

Due to his strict logistics rules, his soldiers were starved and cold without local supplies for three days. They were eventually surrounded by 200,000 bandits and committed suicide due to exhaustion.

In the last grassland war, he opened and closed, relied on 150,000 troops, and used various ingenious strategies to annihilate almost all of Lin Dan Khan's army of one million, leaving only 30,000 people who ran to Qinghai, which shows his ability.

But he failed this time, and his failure was indeed unjust. His failure was not due to his own ability, but to the emperor's good intentions when the imperial study room made the decision.

Emperor Tianqi saw that Mao Wenlong had suffered heavy losses and the grassland had been pacified, so he kindly reassigned Mao Chengyong and Liu Xingxian to Mao Wenlong.

The 13,000 Fu Liao Army was of course the main force of the Grassland Army, but it was not that it could not do without him. It was that the Grassland Group really could not do without Mao Chengyong.

Mao Chengyong was a hero in the eyes of the prairie men. He was a straightforward man who was willing to follow the heroes in battle. At the same time, Mao Chengyong was kind to those prairie men. As the saying goes, the way an honest man repays his kindness is to give you his heart and his life.

If Mao Chengyong had been there, the 50,000 Mongolian troops would never have mutinied.

But Cao Wenzhao did not work. Cao Wenzhao did not show any kindness to the Mongols. In the eyes of the Mongols, Cao Wenzhao was the murderer of his own people. At the same time, Cao Wenzhao was a literati, and in his bones there was a feeling that people who were not of my race would have no mercy.

Contrary to this deep-rooted philosophy, he only had coercion but no favor towards the Mongols.

Men in the grassland have a clear sense of grudges and grudges. They have no sense of belonging to anyone. They only belong to heroes and benefactors.

This is the reason why Cao Wenzhao failed.

But this is also the reason why Mao Chenglu, with 10,000 Mongolians, was able to fight against the two yellow flags without falling behind. And with the most sophisticated equipment, these 10,000 Mongolian cavalry had the upper hand.

So there was such a situation on the grassland. A legion was surrounded. The surrounded Manchu Mongols began to face the surging 50,000 Guan Ning cavalry. After following the Guan Ning cavalry, they were dragged back and struggled to prepare.

It is necessary to attack the two yellow flags of Guan Ning's cavalry from both inside and outside. Behind the two yellow flags are Mao Chenglu's 10,000 cavalry who are fighting to the death. And behind Mao Chenglu are Hong Chengchou and his 10,000 soldiers who are trapped in Guangning.

The situation is confusing and confusing, but the overall situation is absolutely unfavorable to Ming Dynasty. Everyone is thinking day and night about how to solve this dilemma.

Once this predicament continues, within a few days, the Ming Dynasty's situation will completely collapse again, and the battle situation that has been worked so hard to turn around will completely collapse.

A change is needed, but where is the change?

The situation of the war changed at this time, because Mao Wenlong once again took on the key point of this change.

While waiting for the newly trained army to make up for the losses, Mao Wenlong opened his mind and heart in front of the supervisory army.

"If we want to rescue Cao Wenzhao's army trapped in the grassland, we can lose the Northwest Army, we can lose the Mongolian cavalry, we can lose the Guanning cavalry, we can lose my Mao Chenglu. But we must not lose the Xinyang Army."

Qi Fei said directly at that time: "Commander——"

Mao Wenlong roared directly: "Shut up."

The reason why Mao Wenlong spoke so harshly was because he knew what Qi Fei wanted to say.

But what he wanted to say must not be said at this time, because as soon as he opened his mouth, Qi Fei would be dead.

Supervisor Wei is a good old man who says what he should say and doesn't say what he shouldn't, but he is definitely not an unprincipled person. He is a servant of the royal family and a member of the emperor. No matter how good he is to them,

As long as he harms the interests of the royal family, Wei will be the first to stand on the royal side and speak unanimously to the outside world. Because the eunuchs have long tied their fate to the emperor, this has nothing to do with interests, it is a matter of life and death.

Qi Fei's meaning is very obvious, because Mao Wenlong knows this person very well, and this person will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal.

Qi Fei was right. Now that the entire Ming Dynasty has entered a period of prosperity, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties are no longer the biggest danger. Because under the heavy Ming Empire, the Manchu and Qing Huang Taiji is just struggling to death. His own army is fighting

Even if they were defeated, the grassland army was defeated, and even the Guanning cavalry in western Liaoning were defeated, it would not affect the oppression of the slaves by the entire Ming Empire.

Just like the situation just now, 15,000 Fu Liao Army soldiers were killed, but 23,000 Fu Liao Army soldiers would be continuously replenished. If 30,000 Fu Liao Army soldiers were killed, 60,000 Fu Liao Army soldiers would be continuously replenished.

Thousands of soldiers came up one after another.

The grassland group is gone, but the frontier soldiers who have been completely improved are coming up. Guan Ning is defeated, but there will still be a steady stream of soldiers from the mainland.

Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty has abundant money and food, and a large population. If some of them are destroyed, more soldiers will come to replace them. The Ming Dynasty can swamp the Qing Dynasty with its rich heritage.

But there are huge hidden dangers within the Ming Dynasty, and that is the Eight Wise Kings, the reformed guards controlled by the Eight Wise Kings, and the powerful Xinyang Army controlled by the Eight Wise Kings.

Emperor Apocalypse has been recognized by all the wise people in the world as a wise king and a wise master. Almost everyone believes that the Ming Dynasty can only be achieved under the leadership of Apocalypse, an emperor who is generous and never engages in party strife, who is enterprising and active in reform.

Only by doing so can we move toward rejuvenation, national peace and prosperity, and glory.

However, the Eight Wise Kings have been tolerated and indulged by the emperor in a state of almost doting. The emperor originally, yes, had always been willing to give up the throne, allowed Zhu Youjian to control the thoroughfares of the four provinces.

Xinyang, and also controlled the Xinyang Army and the Tianxia Guard Army.

So, once the Eight Wise Kings grow up and their ambitions begin to explode, will another battle for peace, or simply a war of the Eight Kings, break out immediately?

All knowledgeable ministers and knowledgeable people are worried about this kind of worry.

But if the core of the Xinyang Army led by Cao Wenzhao is wiped out by the Qing Dynasty on the grassland this time, it will almost eliminate everyone's worries.

Now, whether Cao Wenzhao should rescue Cao Wenzhao is actually no longer a strategic issue of the steppe army's oppression of the Qing Dynasty, but a political issue of the Ming Dynasty.

The defense line of the grassland can collapse, but it can be slowly replenished, even if it means a huge loss of money, food and human life. But taking this opportunity to eliminate the Xinyang Army, this comparison is something that so-called people of insight are happy to see.

This is what Qi Fei means.

But Mao Wenlong definitely didn’t think so.

He is determined to destroy foreign tribes first and then talk about internal strife. This is a matter of principle. In particular, he firmly believes that the prestige of the current emperor Tianqi cannot be shaken by any prince in the Ming Dynasty, not even the Eight Wise King Zhu Youjian.
