Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 419: Navigating Ningxia to Renma Hoe (Part )
There are tiger leather chairs built into the army tent. The commander-in-chief of an army has its own majesty. The generals lined up on both sides.

When Geersutu led Wang Yongqiang, Wang Yongzhen and Gao Youcai into the account, the Mongolian marshal just nodded slightly as a salute, and then said unhurriedly in the tone of a superior: " We are guests from afar, thank you three for your hard work, please take a seat."

Wang Yongzhen turned livid with anger, but Wang Yongqiang held back his anger and thanked him. After sitting down, he asked him: "His Majesty, Emperor Qianyuan, has agreed to join forces to seize Ningxia at the end of the year. I wonder what the head of the ten thousand households plans to do?"

"The alliance of troops is not urgent for the time being. I have something unclear and would like to ask Wang Shuai."

"The head of ten thousand households, please speak."

"Since ancient times, there are no two days in the sky, and the country has no two kings. I heard that Wang Shuai is running across northern Shaanxi and no one can control it. I wonder where he will go after defeating the Qing army and seizing Ningxia?" After saying this, Xiri Mo's old eyes suddenly shot out. Jingguang, like a cheetah, eyes like lightning, staring coldly at its prey. The Mongolian soldiers on both sides all held the handles of their knives, and just waiting for an order, they chopped the three people into pieces.

Wang Yongqiang secretly complained that he only wanted to find a backer and rule the roost by uniting to defend the country. He did not really want to be a lackey of the Mongols. Judging from this posture, if he did not declare his surrender to the Emperor of Wei, he would surely die miserably in the Wei army's tent. well! If we had known this, we should not have raised troops to join forces with the Mongols in the west, but should have gone south to attack Xi'an and support Jiang Yu. There is no regret medicine in the world. A good man will not suffer the loss he is facing. He gritted his teeth and pulled Wang Yongzhen and Gao Youcai to kneel down and express their loyalty. "I have heard long ago that His Majesty, Emperor Qianyuan of the Kingdom of David, is wise, mighty and benevolent, so he is not far away." I have come thousands of miles away, willing to be a hawk and a dog to drive me around, and be loyal and loyal to the sun and the moon."

"Okay~Okay~" After hearing this, Xi Rimo changed his arrogance just now, walked down from his seat amiably, and helped the three of them up with his own hands, "I was just joking with you. Since you are willing to submit to the Great Wei is my friend. We Mongolians are the most hospitable. Come, roast the lamb, warm up the kumiss, and I will drink with the three generals."

Wang Yongqiang brought more than 20,000 troops. After Xi Rimo joined him, there were more than 36,000 troops, which was a huge force. The two sides joined forces and went north, fighting all the way to Lingwu. They drove straight in without encountering any resistance. After inquiring, they learned that Zhao Guangrui, the commander-in-chief of the Qiang camp in the Qing and Han Dynasties, had concentrated all the soldiers and horses of the Ningxia Guard on the north bank of the Yellow River for defense.

Zhao Guangrui, who was a general, gathered 7,000 green battalion soldiers and 4,000 local garrison troops on the north bank of the Yellow River in the area of ​​​​Lijun Fort and Song Castle, intending to block the guards along the Yellow River. At this time, the Yellow River had been unblocked, and the Yellow River water was rolling. This is the best barrier. While he was defending according to the danger, he asked for help from the Monan Mongolian tribe in the Hetao area that had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

Xi Ri Mo was so cunning that he would not confront the Qing army across the Yellow River. Instead, he left part of his troops to guard the newly occupied territory. He joined forces with Wang Yongqiang and 30,000 troops, bypassed the Yellow River, crossed the Alxa Desert, and reached the third pass.

The Sanguan Pass in the west is one of the "Four City Defense Passes" in Ningxia. Together with Daxiakou and Zhenyuan Pass in the north, it guards the town of Ningxia. Ningxia City is what the Ming people called it. In the Song Dynasty, it was Xingqing Mansion, the capital of the Xixia Kingdom. It has a long history. To the northeast of Sanguankou is the royal tomb of Xixia.

The tall and mysterious Helan Mountain guards the western part of Ningxia Town. The horse is called "Helan" in Mongolian. According to legend, a long time ago, a divine horse protected the grassland from evil spirits. However, people did not know how to cherish the grassland, which gave the devil an opportunity to take advantage of it. , sending yellow sand monsters to cause harm to the world. Shenma resolutely turned his body into a mountain, blocking the yellow sand and continuing to move forward. This mountain is Helan Mountain.

Sanguankou, also known as Chimukou, is located in the middle of Helan Mountain. Helan Mountain is very steep, but it suddenly becomes gentle at the third pass. Therefore, it has been an important passage from the Alxa Plateau to the Ningxia Plain since ancient times. The Ming Dynasty paid great attention to the defense here and built the Great Wall (known as the Border Wall in the Ming Dynasty) passes. From east to west, there were first, second and third passes, hence the name "Three Passes". Hearing that the guards were coming around the Yellow River and through the desert, Zhao Guangrui, the commander-in-chief of the Qiang camp in the Qing and Han Dynasties, immediately led his troops from the north bank of the Yellow River to Helan Mountain to set up defenses. As a general, he knew the importance of the three passes, so he defended them and prepared to fight to the death.

As a veteran and important minister of the Huite tribe, Xi Rimo has experienced hundreds of battles and developed the habit of personally observing the enemy's situation in every battle. When he and Wang Yongqiang came to the Three Passes, they saw the winding mountains on both sides, the majestic and steep terrain, and the majestic pass built in the valley between the two mountains. They couldn't help but exclaimed: "How dangerous! The strange road is called by the locals This is one of the four dangers in Ningxia!"

"Ten thousand households, although the three passes are dangerous, they cannot withstand our large number of soldiers and generals. As long as we attack day and night, we will be able to break through," Wang Yongqiang said unconvinced. He is in his prime and cannot yet effectively hide his edge.

Hearing these words, Xi Rimo rolled his eyes and said with a half-smile, "Let's rest today. Since Wang Shuai is so confident, I will watch Wang Shuai pass the test tomorrow."

This old man wants me to be cannon fodder! Wang Yongqiang was resentful in his heart, but when he saw the other party's sinister eyes, he did not dare to disobey the order. He lowered his eyebrows and said "yes", but ordered his men to rest and prepare for the bloody battle the next day.

Things in the world are always wonderful, and what is supposed to come may not come. Just as Wang Yongqiang was preparing to go through the three bloody passes, Tuoli, the governor of Gansu and Qing Dynasty, and His Highness Zhu Shizhong, the Su Wang of the Ming Dynasty who was granted the title of Suletan, arrived.

Zhu Shizhong was originally the Yanchang King of the Suwang lineage of the Ming Dynasty. Sultan saw that the Ming Dynasty had not long fallen, and the people of the Central Plains were still leaning towards Lao Zhu's family, so he wanted to use his status as a member of the Ming Dynasty clan to support a puppet regime in Shaanxi. In order to make this golden sign more influential, he ordered His Royal Highness Prince Yanchang to inherit the position of King Su, and also ordered Governor Tuoli of Gansu and Qinghai to escort him to Ningxia to found the country.

Not to mention, the name of the Ming Dynasty clan is really good. Even though His Highness King Su is as timid as a chicken and only knows how to flatter the Mongolian officials, after arriving in Shaanxi, he still attracted the support of many heroes. Li Mingyi from the Taozhou Guard, Yiduoyun and Ma Fei from Xixiang, Ji Jiao from Zhenyuan, Manager Wang, etc. Before long, six thousand soldiers and horses were actually gathered under their command.

Seeing that there were so many vassal troops who would not feel sorry for them no matter how many deaths they had, Governor Tuoli of Ganqing and Qing Dynasties was overjoyed. He secretly praised His Majesty the Emperor for his ability to use people and ordered the opening of the arsenal. From the equipment eliminated by the Guards and the equipment captured by the Qing army, I picked some scrap metal, no, magic weapons and weapons to arm these people.

Just after pacifying the vassal army, he received news that Xi Rimo and Wang Yongqiang were meeting in Ningxia. Tuoli felt that the time was ripe to establish the puppet regime of King Su of the Ming Dynasty, so he took the Ming vassal king to Sanguankou to join in the fun.
