Chapter One Thousand Five Hundred and Six: Departing for the North
After hearing this, Azashi lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then slowly raised his head to look at the two of them, and said, "I was also very puzzled by this at first, but then I thought of some reasons."
"What's the reason?" Haisanan Daxi asked quickly. He thought about it for a long time but didn't have an answer, so he felt anxious.
Azashili said, "I suspect that the Ming Dynasty does not know about our return to the Yuan Dynasty. In their eyes, we are still the three guards of Wuliangha who have submitted to the Ming Dynasty, and I am still the commander of the Ming Dynasty."
, you are also commanders and colleagues. Since we are still officials of the Ming Dynasty, Han Du will not dare to attack us at will. Even if he wants to attack, there must be a legitimate reason!"
"So that's it!" Haisa Nan's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "No wonder he keeps provoking us just to annoy us and give him a reason to attack us?"
Azashili nodded calmly.
Trukhuchar was a little confused and asked, "I can fight if I want. What other reason is there?"
Haisanan replied with a smile, "Of course we can fight whenever we want, but the Ming Dynasty is different from us. Whoever they want to attack, they have to pay attention to the reputation of a division. For example, this time they conquered the Tatars.
Huining was plundered by the Tatar tribe. What’s more, we are still the commanders and commanders conferred by the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so we are even less likely to attack easily."
"Then what should we do now? Do we really want to gather 80,000 warriors and follow the Ming Dynasty to conquer the Tatars?" Trulukhuchal was a little confused by what he said, so he simply stopped discussing with Haisanan and asked directly
On to the key.
If you want to take advantage of their status in the Ming Dynasty, you must obey the Ming Emperor's order and go out to conquer the Tatar tribe together.
Haisanan looked at Azashili with a smile, waiting for the prince's decision.
After Azashri pondered, he nodded and said, "If the Ming Dynasty really sent hundreds of thousands of troops to attack the Tatars this time, then the Tatar tribe would definitely be finished. Even if we help them, it will be useless. In this case, then we still
Why not stand with Ming?"
Prairie people rely on the strong, this is something engraved in their bones.
The environment on the grassland is difficult. If you don't become a strong person or rely on a strong person, it will be difficult to survive. Therefore, in order to survive, it is natural for them to rely on the Ming Dynasty.
This was also the reason why the three guards of Wuliangha took the initiative to join the Ming Dynasty after the Imperial Court of the Northern Yuan Dynasty was defeated by Lan Yu.
"Okay!" Haisa Nan replied and nodded in agreement without hesitation.
"Okay, I agree too." The reason why Trukhuchar was a little reluctant was because Han Du killed the best warrior of his tribe. But since the other two people agreed, he would not object.
Azashili continued, "The thirty thousand horses were promised by this king. I have more horses."
Come on, give us 15,000 horses. How about the other 15,000 horses, divided equally between the two of you?"
"Just follow my lord."
"Can!"
Han Du and Zhu Quan and Zhu Zhi returned to the Liao Palace.
Along the way, Zhu Quan's eyes widened when he looked at Han Du.
It wasn't until he sat down at Zhu Zhi's greeting that he couldn't help but ask Han Du, "Aren't you just afraid that the three guards of Wuliangha would fall out and start a fight with you? How would you end it?"
Han Du thanked Zhu Zhi for the tea and said lightly, "What are you afraid of? If they really dare to send troops, then just destroy them."
Zhu Quan looked Han Du up and down blankly, sighed and shook his head, saying, "It's true that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. Those are the three guards of Wuliangha with tens of thousands of Qingqi. How can you say that you can destroy them?"
?」
Han Du did not explain to Zhu Quan that if he could not even destroy the three guards of Wu Liangha, how could he dare to go north to conquer the Tatars? However, after all, Zhu Quan had never seen the restraint of cavalry by a dense artillery array, and Han Du did not blame him.
.
"Also, why did you let Azashi and the others go so easily? If they had just rebelled after they returned, wouldn't you have let the tiger go back to the mountain?" Seeing that Han Du didn't answer him, Zhu Quan was a little angry and couldn't help but screamed.
asked.
Han Du put down the teacup and smiled.
"My lord, please rest assured. If they really don't come back, then I will lead my troops to find them."
Seeing that Han Du was so negligent, Zhu Quan couldn't help but sneer and said, "Okay, I hope the three guards of Wu Liangha will come back. Otherwise, I will take a good look at how you kill them."
Ten days later, in the morning, the sun had just risen, and even the dew on the grass blades had not yet dried.
A large number of cavalry suddenly broke through the steaming mist on the grass and gathered towards Guangning City in the sunshine.
"Woooooo~"
A horn sounded instantly.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty"
A eunuch ran out of Zhu Zhi's bedroom panting and exclaimed.
Crunch~
The palace door opened, and Zhu Zhi stood out, fully dressed, and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on in a panic?"
The eunuch pointed his arm toward the outside of the city, "Cavalry, a large number of cavalry are coming outside."
cavalry!
Zhu Zhi's eyes widened and he subconsciously yelled, "Come on, be on guard!"
"
By the time Zhu Zhi, Zhu Quan and Han Du all stood on the city tower, a dark crowd had gathered outside the city, with cavalrymen as far as the eye could see.
These cavalry did not rush forward, but stood quietly not far from the city wall.
Azashili stood up on horseback with Haisanan Daxi and Truhuqar riding on horseback.
He shouted loudly, "Azashili has come as requested, and I would also like to ask Marquis Zhenhai to see him."
When Han Du saw it, he turned around and walked towards the tower with a smile.
He mounted his horse and came to the city gate, and told the soldiers guarding the city, "Open the city gate, I want to leave the city."
Just as the soldiers were opening the door, Xu Chengfei also rode over and asked, "Are you really going to leave the city? Don't you always say that "those who are not from my race must have different minds"? If they have two minds, then you can
At once"
Han Du saw that the city gate was about to open a gap that allowed a horse to pass through. He turned back and smiled at Xu Chengfei, "If I die, then you will kill them all to avenge me! Drive!"
Han Du lifted the reins, and the horse kicked out with all four hooves. Han Du was like a shadow, passing through the gap in the city gate in an instant. After Han Du left the city, the soldiers worked hard to close the city gate again.
Seeing Han Du riding a horse alone and rushing out of the city gate. Azashi and the other three couldn't help being shocked. They looked at each other and didn't understand whether Han Du really had something to rely on or if he was just too bold.
Even if Han Du really had something to rely on, Azashili thought to himself that with 80,000 cavalry at his side, even if he killed Han Du, he would still be able to escape unscathed, and Han Du must not be unaware of this.
From this point of view, Han Du is indeed extremely courageous and dares to go out of the city alone.
"Hey~"
It was only a mile away, and Han Du arrived in a short time on horseback.
After reining in his horse and standing still, Han Du sat on the horse and looked at the three of them, smiling and saying, "I am very happy that the three of you can come as promised."
Azashi thought for a moment and then immediately got off his horse. As soon as he dismounted, Haisanan Daxi and Trulhuqar naturally did the same as him.
"I pay homage to the Marquis and obey the Marquis' order. I have raised 80,000 members of my clan and am willing to do my best for the Marquis!"
"Okay!" Han Du laughed and said, "Where are my 30,000 horses?"
"I've brought them along with you, my subordinates!" Although Azashili felt a little heartbroken, he knew he couldn't hide and answered neatly.
Han Du's smile faded and he ordered, "The three guards of Wuliangha will listen to the order and rest for three days before the army sets off to the north!"
"Follow the order!"
three days
First of all, the time is for Azashili and others to take a good rest. They have traveled thousands of miles back and forth this time, and it is unreasonable not to take a rest.
The second step is to clearly hand over the 30,000 horses. There are 10,000 cavalry in Shanziying and Jingying, plus Zhu Quan and Zhu Zhi’s 30,000, and there are a total of 40,000 cavalry in hand. Now we have these 30,000 horses.
, and 30,000 cavalry can be brought out. In this way, Han Du has 70,000 cavalry in hand, although it is still relatively small.
Liangha's 80,000 was slightly less, but the number was still about the same.
Coupled with his own firearms, he can kill all 80,000 Uliangha cavalry.
As a result, Han Du had an army of 200,000 under his command, including 150,000 cavalry alone.
If Han Du had had these soldiers and horses in his hands when he just left Beijing, he would have dared to fight against the Tatars alone.
Of course, I dare now!
"Set off!"
The army sets off.
Although the Ming army and the Uuliangha cavalry have been together for three days, they are clearly distinct from each other. Of course, they are just clearly distinct, and they are not hostile to each other.
In order to reassure the three Azashis and prevent them from secretly rebelling, Han Du came to the Ulyanha cavalry with only a few personal guards and handed over all the command of the Ming army to Xu Chengfei.
Hearing that Han Du decided to stay here, Azashi couldn't help but admire Han Du's courage and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Lord Marquis, I have already passed the order, and the three guards and horses will obey the order of the Marquis."
Han Du turned his head and glanced at Azashili, then burst into laughter and said, "You don't think that I am here to seize power from you, do you?"
Seeing that Azashi was about to explain, Han Du waved his hand to stop him, and continued, "Don't worry, it's up to you to command the three guards and horses. I only need you to obey the order."
It's not that Han Du doesn't want the military power of these 80,000 cavalry. When Han Du saw these 80,000 cavalry, he almost drooled. It's just that Han Du knew that he couldn't command them at all. Instead of fighting with Azashili
If the trouble is unpleasant, it would be better to let him command the 80,000 cavalry in a generous manner.
Azashili also understood this, which is why he said such words without fear just now. And Han Du's reaction was also what he expected.
But even though he had known the result for a long time, Azashili still burst into tears with gratitude on his face, and quickly expressed his loyalty to Han Du and said, "Please don't worry, Mr. Marquis, I will definitely be at your disposal, and will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
"Oh? Do you really think so?" Han Du looked into Azashili's eyes with a smile.
