Chapter 392 Daishan Creates Opportunities for the Ming Army
When Sai Sang heard that his troubled daughter Hai Lanzhu confessed to him that she wanted to marry Huang Taiji, she laughed happily. The old girl finally wanted to get married.
But he immediately came to his senses. It was not good to marry anyone but Huang Taiji.
After all, if we talk about alliance relationships, Sai Sang already has a sister and a daughter married to him, so marrying another daughter would be redundant in the past.
Sai Sang tentatively consulted Hai Lanzhu and said: "I heard that Huang Taiji is getting fatter now. My daughter, don't you always dislike fat people? It seems that fat people accomplish nothing and are all fat.
, you are annoying."
Hai Lanzhu was startled for a moment. She didn't expect Sai Sang to say such words. She obviously didn't agree with her marrying Huang Taiji.
There was no other way. The woman had plenty of weapons, so she immediately resorted to crying, making trouble, and hanging herself.
Sai Sang had already experienced what his daughter was capable of, and he did not dare to push her into a hurry. He immediately stated that as long as Huang Taiji came to propose marriage again, Sai Sang would definitely agree.
As for Hailanzhu's proposal to let Eji go to Liaodong to visit her daughter, she went to visit her sister herself. Saisang couldn't resist her daughter, so she agreed. He just asked her to wait until her brothers returned in triumph before letting them go to Liaodong.
When Hai Lanzhu heard this, she wished that her brothers would immediately kill all the Ming troops and return in triumph tomorrow.
As soon as she was in a good mood, she felt that the old Sai Sang looked much more handsome. She ran out of the sweat tent and saw that the blue sky seemed to have become bluer, and the white clouds turned into fat shadows, smiling at her.
Hai Lanzhu immediately rushed back to his yurt and wanted to write a letter to tell his sister the happy event.
Then all she had to do was wait.
Herdsmen often see their princess Hailanzhu, often looking to the southwest.
People who don't know think that she is worried about the safety of her two brothers and whether she can defeat the Ming army. Only her maid knows that Hai Lanzhu is waiting for the army to triumph quickly so that she and the queen can set off for Liaodong immediately.
.
Hailanzhu waited and waited, waiting and waiting. It felt like a thousand years had passed, but she still hadn't waited for the army to return in triumph. She was so anxious that she asked her maid three times a day, how many days had it been since the army had been on the march, and whether it was time to return.
On the third day, there was still no triumphant return of the army, and there was not even any news, but the Jurchen envoy arrived again.
This time, contrary to her usual habit of not caring about these things, she broke into the sweat tent and insisted on listening.
Saisang already knew what his daughter was thinking, so he agreed to let her listen, and then asked the messenger: "Why did your master send you here again?"
Although he was not as anxious as Hai Lanzhu in the past two days to expect the army to triumph, he still had this in mind.
When Sai Sang saw that Dai Shan had sent someone over again, he felt a little strange. If the encirclement and suppression of the Ming army had results, his son would have sent someone over to report the news. Regardless of success or failure, there would be a message.
But now his son has not seen any messenger coming back, but the Jurchens have come, which makes him a little confused as to what is going on.
"Honorable King Darhan, my master sent me here, firstly, to apologize to you, and secondly, to inform you of the latest news about the Ming army." This Jurchen messenger was more humble than the last time he came, bending down to him.
Reported.
When Sai Sang heard that Dai Shan wanted to apologize to him, his heart tightened. Could it be that something happened to the army he sent? That Ming army was so powerful?
Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still anymore, stood up directly and asked: "What are you apologizing for? Were you defeated by the Ming army?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hai Lanzhu's face turned pale and she thought how could this be possible!
Upon hearing this, the Jurchen envoy straightened up, raised his head and smiled and said: "Honorable King Darhan, you think too much of the Ming army. As long as we, the Golden Warriors, are here, no matter how many Ming armies come, they will not be able to overturn the sky."
When Sai Sang heard this, he realized that he was wrong to worry, and then he was a little dissatisfied with the Jurchens' arrogance. He snorted, sat back, and asked without raising his head: "What does that Daishan want to say?"
apologize?"
The Jurchen envoy heard Sai Sang's dissatisfaction and felt a little unconcerned. However, Dai Shan had explained it before, and his expression returned to a humble one. He replied: "Our army's scouting horse is four hundred meters northwest of the Zhuri River Grassland.
Around here, traces of the Ming army were found again. My master thought that the Ming army was very cunning, and the original ones should have been suspicious soldiers, which attracted my Dajin army and your troops to go south."
"What, are you trying to explain the military's past and create doubts about it?" Sai Sang stood up from his seat again and asked.
Hai Lanzhu saw it from the side and couldn't help feeling a little ashamed of her father's lack of composure. She thought that if Huang Taiji was here, he should be calm and leisurely.
"My master thinks this is the case. This Ming army general is not only ruthless, but also very cunning. However, my Dajin detective discovered the clues. My master believes that the target of the Ming army is your department, so he sent me to warn you.
.”
Sai Sang was embarrassed and sat back immediately, and stood there and asked the Jurchen envoy: "Does your master want me to continue sending troops to intercept?"
"Your Majesty is so wise. This is what my master means. Only in this way can we eliminate the Ming army as soon as possible." The Jurchen envoy's attitude became more and more respectful.
Sai Sang didn't answer immediately, and just walked around near his seat.
He was not an idiot. He had already sent out an army, and he had to think carefully about the consequences of sending another army out.
What if the army is sent out but finds that the Jurchens were deceived by the Ming army again?
The location of the Khan's Tent cannot be empty. If enough troops are sent to destroy the Ming army, the Khan's Tent will not have enough strength to defend it.
Seeing Sai Sang frowning and thinking about something, the Jurchen envoy was not anxious, but Hailanzhu next to him was anxious. Seeing Sai Sang was still silent, she couldn't help but urged: "Father, it's not easy to find the Ming army."
We have found traces of them. If we don’t eliminate them as soon as possible, are we going to let them be like the evil wolves in the prairie, lurking in the dark and sneaking up on our herds?”
Sai Sang ignored it and continued to think about this problem. If he did not send troops, he would probably lose traces of the Ming army again.
This Ming army is wandering in the Horqin Grassland, and it seems that the target it wants to deal with is our own tribe. Who makes our tribe the biggest allies of the Jurchens?
If this Ming army is allowed to lurk in the grassland and its own troops are only placed around the sweat tents for passive defense, I am afraid that in the end, the pressure on itself will become greater and greater.
"Honorable King Darhan, my master said that this time as long as the troops you send can intercept or delay the Ming army, it will be enough for our Jin army to catch up with the Ming army." The Jurchen envoy saw Sai Sang and remained silent.
, and said again.
Upon hearing this, Sai Sang stopped and looked at the Jurchen envoy, as if he wanted to see through his heart. Did he say this to bully Horqin for having no soldiers, or did the Jurchens come to show off their fighting power?
"Father Khan, quickly send out troops to cooperate with the Dajin army to wipe out the Ming army." Seeing that Sai Sang was still undecided, Hai Lanzhu urged again.
If they passively defended the Ming army, they would not be able to set off for Liaodong until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse. Hai Lanzhu couldn't help but feel anxious.
Sai Sang heard his daughter's urging and thought that although passive defense was safe, it was still not an option.
So, he said to the Jurchen envoy: "Okay, you go back and tell your master, I will send another army to the northwest to search there, and ask your master to hurry up and drive the Ming army over."
"Yes, the distinguished King Darhan." Seeing the result, the Jurchen envoy bowed and left.
"Father Khan, Genghis Khan was not so hesitant. It is a heroic act to act decisively." Hailanzhu was dissatisfied with Saisang's hesitant behavior before finally making up his mind, and reminded him.
"Go, go, find your mother." Sai Sang was impatient with Hai Lanzhu's criticism and waved her out.
Seeing his daughter sweating, Sai Sang said to himself: "Compare me to Genghis Khan, how can you compare me?"
Then he sent out some of the remaining troops. After all, he was old and stable, so he did not show off and sent out all his troops to kill the Ming army. He also left 6,000 troops to protect the Khan tent.
After Dai Shan received the emissary sent to report King Darhan's decision, he stopped taking any further actions. He had already done enough, and it would be difficult to finish if he did more. It would be easy for people to suspect that he had any evil intentions.
.
At least for now, he can explain afterwards that he was also deceived by the Ming army. This would only be a loss of face at most. Compared with the huge benefits, Daishan doesn't care about this face.
As for someone who extrapolates backwards from who gets the benefit in the end, by that time, everything has been settled, so what if you know!
He stayed alone in the tent, looking at the map of the grassland, and thought to himself: The Ming army of about 5,000 people, whether judging from their traces or their ultimate political purpose of sending troops to the grassland, will definitely be defeated.
It's for the Horqin tribe, Daijin's biggest ally.
He has mobilized the Horqin tribe's troops to the maximum extent possible to where their sweat tent is located. Although it can only be transferred for a few days, Daishan still hopes that the Ming army can seize this opportunity and severely damage Horqin's sweat tent.
It would be best for the Ming army to die together with King Darhan and those nobles from the Horqin tribe's Khan tent.
The few remaining sons of King Darhan are not powerful characters. As long as the Great Khan uses some tricks, I believe it should be easy to annex the Horqin tribe.
Daishan thought that if Daijin could annex the huge Horqin tribe, Daijin's strength would be even higher. After all, the Mongols are better at riding and shooting than the Daijin warriors. By incorporating them, they can implement some tactics.
It is complementary. It can also save many golden warriors from dying in every battle.
Thinking of this, Daishan's blood began to boil, as if with his efforts, he assisted Huang Taiji in taking Daikin to another peak.
He slapped the Horqin Khan tent marked on the map with a heavy palm, and thought to himself, I have created an excellent opportunity for you. If you still can't seize it, I will definitely search you out from the grassland.
