Jin Xiaoyu sent troops from Huangyuan, the bridgehead of Xining Prefecture, and led 30,000 troops to rush towards Haiyan City.
The army advanced quickly and just arrived at Haiyan. Under Jin Xiaoyu's order, they attacked the small Haiyan County.
The Mongolian soldiers in the city were caught off guard and boarded the city to fight with Jin Xiaoyu's Xining guards. From midday to evening, there was a "squeaking" sound from the city gate.
Jin Xiaoyu led the soldiers and horses of Xining Prefecture into the city. The Mongolian wolf flag originally hung at the top of the city was thrown to the bottom of the city and replaced with the black and red satin flag of the Han army with Chinese characters.
The dusk fell, the moon hung high, and the shouts of death gradually grew smaller.
The military general reported that the city of Haiyan had been destroyed, and the Mongolian soldiers and horses in the city fled westward.
"Don't chase the poor bandits, enter the city first and take over Haiyan City." Jin Xiaoyu, wearing bright silver armor and a green cloak, ordered.
Following the military order, a mighty army surrounded Jin Xiaoyu into the county town. When he entered the main hall of the official hall, Da Ma sat down on the official chair in the blue sky and white sun. On his young and handsome face, he was happy and proud.
Full.
Jin Xiaoyu looked excited and ordered the civil servants on the side: "Report the victory to the court."
"Yes." The clerk said loudly.
Jin Xiaoyu turned to look at the middle-aged military general wearing maroon mountain pattern armor and said in an excited voice: "Uncle, although these Mongolian soldiers and horses are unparalleled in the field, they are not good at defending the city. After a slight charge, they abandoned the city and fled. Wait.
After a short rest, he marched westward and recaptured Qinghai in one fell swoop, shocking the barbarians."
He, Jin Xiaoyu, was not far behind the young Jia Heng. With the fighting power of Xining Mansion's guards and horses, it was no problem to sweep across Qinghai.
In the past, my father wanted to take the overall situation into consideration and did not want the court to take the opportunity to interfere in Qinghai affairs, so he gave Qinghai Mongolia the opportunity.
If he could sweep away Hehuang, intimidate all the barbarians, and try to raise the prestige of the Han Dynasty in Qinghaihai, he, Jin Xiaoyu, could also successfully subdue the doubts of the Jin family.
At this time, Jin Xiaoyu's uncle Zhan Yunguo, who came with the army, did not look so relaxed. He reminded: "Yu'er must not underestimate the enemy. Qinghai Qianghu and Mongolian mixed Qiang have 150,000 or 60,000 soldiers who dare to fight. Now we have recovered Haiyan."
From now on, we should quickly build the city and send spies to Qinghai to spy on the movements of Heshuote's Taijis. If they come in large numbers, we should also send additional reinforcements to Xining."
Jin Xiaoyu nodded and said: "What my uncle said is true. General Hao sent the Mongols and Han people in the city to build the city and the fort. I want to build this as an outpost for our Han Dynasty to march into the Western Regions!"
A general with a dark complexion and a medium build stepped out of the queue with his fists clasped and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Your Highness, we will live up to His Highness's expectations!"
After Jin Xiaoyu assigned the generals in the city one by one, he looked at Zhan Yunguo expectantly and said: "Uncle, if this battle can shock the Qinghai captives, then the court will also be shocked by it, and maybe you can take me as your commander.
Prepare a large army, recover the old lands of Han and Tang Dynasties, and reach beyond the Great Wall."
The brilliant results achieved by the Jingying camp in Xuanda are enough to show that the Han Dynasty's national strength and military strength have recovered, and that he cannot fall behind Jia Heng'er in the northwest.
Zhan Yunguo frowned and said: "Yu'er, to recapture Hehuang and march to the Western Regions, it depends on the wishes of the ministers and ministers in the temple. It's better not to be reckless."
However, Jin Xiaoyu disagreed and said: "When the war started, I reported to the imperial court and pointed out the grand plan of the Holy One. How could it not be allowed?"
Then how come Jia Heng's son is always favored by the saints and is always winning battles?
This is his achievement of external expansion, which is even rarer than that of that child.
Seeing the ambitious Jin Xiaoyu, Zhan Yunguo felt a layer of worry in his heart.
While the uncle and nephew were talking, near an unknown river valley to the west of Qinghai Lake, more than a hundred miles away from Haiyan City, tents stood next to the amber-green Qinghai Lake, looking like white in the green grassland.
Clouds.
Night falls, the bright moon is in the sky, and there are only a few stars in the clear sky.
In a tent with a gold roof and inlaid with pearls and agate, the lights were brightly lit, as bright as day.
In the tent, a group of senior officials from Heshuote Mongolia were drinking happily, talking and laughing loudly, and the sounds of dancing girls and Hu music could be heard from time to time.
Dorji, the sixth son of Gushi Khan, sat on a large Hu chair, with his chest open and a tuft of chest hair particularly eye-catching. On a long table in front of him, there were cut watermelons, grapes and other seasonal fruits and vegetables.
, and the full bottle of wine in the wine bottle is as bright as blood under the light of the lamp.
Gushi Khan (Gushi Khan) was the 19th grandson of Genghis Khan's younger brother Hesar, the fourth son of Oirat Khan Haninoyan Honggoer, and a descendant of the Borzhijin clan. In other words, he was also a descendant of the Golden Family.
Gu Shihan entrusted Bataiji in Qinghai, and his sixth son Dorji was located near Qinghai Lake.
At this moment, Dorji's generals and retinues were sitting not far away, accompanied by several women serving drinks and wearing scantily clad clothes.
Dorji looked around and said with emotion: "Since my father Khan's expedition to Tibet, Qinghai has been calm. The Han people have also shrunk to Xining Fucheng. The grass around the holy lake is rich and fertile. It is our hometown where we can live forever."
The other generals and subordinates in the tent burst into laughter.
Qinghai was called the land of Hehuang in ancient times. It was a place where Qiang and Hu lived together in the past dynasties. After the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty established the four guards outside the Great Wall. Zhengde was completely lost during the Jiajing period. The Ming army retreated to the east of Jiayuguan, and the vast territory of the Western Region was no longer available.
It was owned by the Zhengshuo Dynasty of the Central Plains.
Chen Han followed the former Ming Dynasty, and during the years of Taizu and Taizong, they mainly cleared the resistance of the former Ming clan and elders in the northwest and Bashu lands, and did not set foot in Hehuang.
In the last years of Emperor Taizong of the Chen Han Dynasty, as the country was established and the world became more peaceful, the Central Committee of the Chen Han Dynasty also tried to regain the four guards outside the Great Wall and march into the Western Regions. However, the remaining Mongolian tribes were entrenched in Qinghai and they were unable to do so.
During the Longzhi period, after the defeat of Liaodong, the Han Dynasty's national power was greatly reduced, and it also adopted a national policy of comprehensive contraction in border defense. It was even less able to conquer Qinghai or even recover the more distant Western Regions.
The present Western Region is occupied by the Jungar Khanate, and after the Heshuote Mongols pacified Qinghai, they also established the Heshuote Khanate, and Gushi Khan has already led troops to conquer Tibet.
It can be said that the current northwest direction of Chen-Han is in a delicately balanced situation, but over time, it will definitely become unstable.
Just as they were drinking and drinking in the tent, a burly man with a majestic face, a flat nose and a big mouth, and a beard under his chin strode into the tent, clasped his fists and said: "Taiji, Jurchen Yue Tuo County Prince
coming."
Dorzi nodded, put down his wine glass, and said, "Invite them over."
After a while, Yue Tuan led several arrogant men into the tent, saluted Dorji and said, "Dear Taiji."
Yue Tuan has been here for a few days, and Dorji has been entertaining him with delicious food and drinks.
Dorji nodded with a smile and said, "Yue Tuo Tai Ji, please take a seat."
Yue Tuo thanked him, then sat down nearby while the servant poured wine.
Dorji smiled and said: "I heard what your Excellency said the day before yesterday. Meng'an sent troops to capture Haiyan, collect cattle, sheep, grains, and countless gold, silver and jewels."
Yue Tuo looked indifferent and said with a smile: "Taiji, this is just a small fight, not worth mentioning. Xining has just changed hands, and the Han people are in panic. If they can capture Xining, use it as their capital, and invade the Central Plains
, then why worry about not being able to reproduce the glory of the Golden Family?"
When Dorji heard this, he shook his head and said: "Before leaving, my father Khan repeatedly warned not to have too big a conflict with the Han people. Previously, it could only be regarded as a test. Taking Haiyan is already a huge step."
"But the Han people may not just sit back and watch the fall of Haiyan. The Han people just won a great victory not long ago, and they will definitely expand into the Western Regions ambitiously and regain the old lands of the Han and Tang Dynasties." Yue Tuo smiled and said.
Dorji said: "This matter is too far away. It won't be too late to make plans at that time."
At this time, a general under Dorji put down his wine cup and said with a smile: "I heard that you just suffered a defeat in the east. Even if the Han people regain their homeland, they will attack Liaodong first."
Dorji frowned, picked up the glass of wine in his hand, and kept a calm expression on his face, observing Yue Tuo's reaction.
During this period, as he came into contact with Yue Tuo, Dorji was deeply impressed by Yue Tuo's courage and ability, and developed a sense of sympathy for each other.
Yue Tuo said: "Not necessarily! Although our country was defeated, its national strength was not lost at all. There were hundreds of thousands of armored men. The Han Dynasty did not dare to pursue it. Instead, the tribes of Qinghai in the northwest were like a ball of scattered sand, just like the Han people using their troops in the northwest.
, we will probably achieve a great victory. My emperor is worried that Qinghai Mongolia will be conquered by the Han Dynasty, so he sent me to discuss the plan to resist the Han Dynasty with Taiji and prevent the Han army from expanding eastward."
Dorji's brows widened and he said: "Xining doesn't seem to be sending troops recently."
Since taking Haiyan City, Dorji also paid attention to the movements in Xining Mansion, but when he saw it was quiet, he gradually felt relieved.
Keep running and dancing.
However, Yue Tuo advised: "Taiji, there is a saying among the Han people that no one should be allowed to sleep soundly beside the bed. Now that Heshuote is grazing around Qinghai, he may not necessarily send troops to recover Huangyuan or Xining at any time."
"
While everyone was discussing, the neighing of war horses suddenly came from outside the tent, reaching far away in the quiet summer night when the stars filled the night sky.
"Taiji is in trouble." A short man with his hair tied in three braids trotted into the tent and said anxiously: "Meng'an has led the people back."
Meng'an was the Mongolian general who occupied Haiyan County. He originally led five thousand soldiers and horses to station in Haiyan.
After a while, the fat Meng An entered the military tent, with blood and sweat on his chubby face, and said: "Taiji, the Han soldiers attacked Haiyan City and have recaptured the city."
Dorji's expression suddenly changed, his eyes flashed with semen, and he said, "What's going on?"
Meng'an was out of breath. After describing the situation of Haiyan's fall, he said: "The Han army came in large numbers and the city is small. Our army is no match. We can only abandon the city and flee. I hope Taiji will forgive me."
Upon hearing this, Dorji looked gloomy and said, "How dare the Han army really send troops?"
As he said that, he turned to look at Yue Tuo, his eyes dark, and said: "The Han people have recaptured Haiyan again, do you have any good ideas?"
Why did he have a vague feeling of being plotted against?
Yue Tuo said: "Taiji, after the Han people regain Haiyan City, they will never give up. They will definitely send troops to conquer Qinghai. Taiji should make plans in advance."
