Chapter 760 The Initiation of War

Of course, Zherimu knew about Miegu's real predicament.

In the last war between Tatar and Qiyan, Temujin, the leader of a certain Tatar clan who followed Mie Guzhen to fight, was defeated and killed by Qiyan’s clan. Tatar was defeated and lost a lot of cattle, sheep, horses and horses. Young and strong.

This was quite a blow to Mie Guzhen.

People trusted you, so they went with you to fight the beggars. In the end, not to mention the defeat, but also the life of their leader, of course they were angry.

But Zerimu felt that even if he wanted to get out of the predicament, he couldn't be too hasty.

Zerimu felt that there would still be opportunities.

"The limelight has been too much in these years. Let's not say what we have suffered. Wang Gu has also suffered a lot, and Mie Erqi has also suffered from his losses. Except for Klie, he can say that there are enemies everywhere. With his arrogance now, I think it won't be long before he does something stupid on his own."

Zherimu said in a low voice: "As long as this guy gets frustrated once, many people will gather together to seek revenge for him, and we can even eradicate the Qiyan Department in one fell swoop!"

Mie Gu really thought about it and sighed again.

"I am willing to wait, but I am afraid that some people will not wait. The Temujin tribe is very dissatisfied with me because of his death, and has repeatedly proposed to me to seek revenge from the Qiyanbu. I am annoying, if I can't help Temujin Really revenge, the prestige of my leader will be lost..."

At this point, Zherimu has no choice.

But now the limelight is in full swing, many people are afraid of him, relying only on the Tatar tribe, if they want to fight, it is a decisive battle, and the risk is too great.

The embarrassing situation lasted for three days.

Three days later, a startling news came.

The Kelie tribe and the Qiyan tribe formed a coalition to attack the Wanggu tribe and defeated the Wanggu tribe. They captured more than 2000 households, tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses, and captured a pasture with rich water and grass.

Wang Gu suffered heavy losses.

After learning this news, Mie Guzhen was stunned for a while, and then laughed wildly.

"Hahahaha! Hahahaha! God bless me! God bless me! It's time for this idiot to finally be stupid! Finally stupid! Hahahahaha! Hahahaha!"

Miegu is so happy, so happy.

He has thought about how this matter will develop countless times, how the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Kelie and Qiyan tribes will go, but he never expected that Kelie and Qiyan would take the initiative to attack the Wang Gu tribe!
It didn’t matter before, but now, the Wang Gubu is covered by the Daming Kingdom, and the head of the Wanggubu is the Zhenbei General who was personally conferred by the Daming Emperor. To attack the Wanggubu is to hit the face of the Ming Dynasty and the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. What will happen then?
Mie Guzhen immediately called Zherimu to discuss this matter with him.

Zherimu also felt surprised and inexplicable, and felt that this incident would inevitably trigger a fierce reaction in the Ming Dynasty.

This is all rushed to slap the face, can the Ming Dynasty hold back?

Eighty percent of them are going to war.

Mie Gu's face flushed with excitement.

"Do you really know how to fight? The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty doesn't want to fight, right? You don't worry about this and that, so you don't dare to fight, right?"

"When things have come to this point, if the emperor of the Ming Dynasty doesn't fight, it means admitting that he is very weak, a weak country, who doesn't want to take a bite?"

Zherimu smiled sinisterly: "Khan, if he really doesn't dare to fight, it can only mean that I see the wrong person, everything in Ming is fake, no matter how stable the interior is, he doesn't dare to fight, then We just have to do something about it.”

Miyuku was even happier.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for officials from the Honglu Temple of the Ming Dynasty to arrive and sent an edict from the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The dragon and tiger general Mie Guzhen ordered his troops to prepare for battle, and was ready to attack the Kelie Department together with the Ming army. And the old nest of Qiyan's department, teach them a hard lesson!

At this time, Mie Guzhen was completely relieved, and immediately agreed to join forces with the Daming army and Wang Gu's army to fight against Kelie and Qiyan.

On the third day of October of the second year of Hongwu's reign, Emperor Su Yonglin of the Ming Dynasty officially ordered a war to be launched. He used [-] cavalrymen to expedition the grasslands north to conquer the disrespectful Kelie and Qiyan tribes.

According to the information obtained from Wuge of the Wanggu tribe before the start of the war, Su Yonglin is probably sure that the Qiyan tribe and the Kele tribe are both large tribes with a population of more than 30. If they really want to mobilize, each tribe can mobilize no less than 5 people of troops.

However, this kind of general mobilization is relatively difficult. Due to the life characteristics of nomads, they will not live in the same area for too long, and will always move to live. Therefore, it generally takes a lot of time to complete the general mobilization.

And the interior of its tribe is not monolithic.

Like other tribes, their internal family leaders, large and small, will also form constraints on the leaders of the tribe in a certain sense. Unless the moment of life and death is really reached, they may not be able to reach a consensus quickly.

Therefore, it is not a lie to say that these two tribes can join forces to produce [-] troops, but the problem lies in the unified leader and unified command. All forces in the tribe must completely obey orders and quickly arrive at the assembly position.

Only in this way can a hundred thousand troops be truly assembled.

It takes time for the Central Plains dynasty to send troops to gather, and it also takes time for the tribes to gather in the grasslands. The logistics is simple, but it also takes time to do logistics.

Su Yonglin's speed is very fast. When he got the news in September, the war was launched in October.

The Ming army prepared very quickly and marched north from the station of Wang Gu.

The population of the Wanggu tribe is only about 5000, and with the loss of a lot of people this time, they can only take out [-] people at most to follow the Ming army, so Su Yonglin gave up the idea of ​​letting them form an independent army.

The cavalry of the Wang Gu Department will be incorporated into the Daming Cavalry Corps, acting together with the Daming cavalry, mainly responsible for attacking the Kelie Department.

The Tatar Department reported that they were willing to use [-] cavalry to attack the Qiyan Department and the Kelie Department, so Su Yonglin decided to let them form a separate army, commanded independently, and mainly attacked the mortal enemy Qiyan Department——

To deal with the Qiyan Department alone, the Tatars are still willing and able to show enough strength to deal with it.

Taken together, this time the Ming army and the Wang Gu and Tatar tribes jointly dispatched more than [-] troops. It was a fairly huge war, and it initially showed the national strength and appeal of the Ming Dynasty.

As for the enemy, Su Yonglin also had a preliminary understanding.

The leader of the Qiyan tribe was named Ye Sugai, and the leader of the Kelie tribe was named Tuoli. It was said that the two had a good relationship and a good relationship, so the two tribes were together when they went south to attack the Wanggu tribe.

There also seems to be an idea of ​​shared risk sharing.

Su Yonglin didn't know why they sent troops to attack Wang Gubu, but since they made a move, Su Yonglin couldn't take it.

Before October, Xin Qiji rushed to Jingzhou, where the expedition was assembled, with the staff of the Staff Council, and joined Han Jinggui's 1 vanguard cavalry in Jingzhou.

Han Jinggui led the Hebei Corps into the sixteen states of Yanyun and has been guarding it here. After the sixteen states of Yanyun were set up as Datong Province, he became the military chief of Datong Province. Don't go back to the Central Capital.

After a long time, Han Jinggui's youthful face was also stained with a frosty color, and the whole person looked much calmer and more sophisticated.

"This expedition is my dynasty's first northern expedition to the grasslands, and it is also the first time that the Han army has set foot on the grasslands after a lapse of hundreds of years. For the Ming Dynasty, it is of great significance. Your majesty entrusts the task to you and me, it can be seen that you and me There is a lot of responsibility on my shoulders.”

Xin Qiji walked side by side with Han Jinggui with his hands behind his back, walking on the vast land.

The frontier wind was blowing on his face, and it was not gentle at all. Even if it was not October, he could not feel any warmth, but only felt cold and chilling.

"I am aware of this, so I take it very seriously."

Han Jinggui nodded and said, "I have already sent someone to Wang Gu Department to learn about the Kelie Department and Qiyan Department, as well as the planning of the marching route for this march. The staff of our corps also has this information For some plans, at least there will be no problems in dispatching troops and directions."

"Well, we know ourselves and the enemy, and we will never give up in a hundred battles. This is the first time we have fought against the grassland cavalry. We know very little. We have to learn while fighting."

Xin Qiji looked at Han Jinggui and asked, "Then how are you going to fight this battle?"
