Chapter 684 Raid on Hetao
After encountering the Loess Plateau, the Yellow River turned to the north and made a big bend in the shape of a "ji", and then was forced to change its course to the south by the Luliang Mountains.

The area at the top of the word "Ji" is called Hetao, where the water and grass are fertile, and it is the south of the Yangtze River.

When the Central Plains dynasty was strong, its forces would generally go deep into Hetao. Qin set up Jiuyuan, Han set up Shuofang, Wuyuan, Yunzhong, and Dingxiang, and Tang set up Fengzhou, Shengzhou, and Anbei. According to Tatar.

After defeating Lin Dan Khan, Hou Jin completed the conquest of Monan Mongolia and took control of this area, and Hetao became a sharp knife on the back of the Western Wei Dynasty.

At this time, in the city of Xi'an, Gao Yihuan and several generals were discussing the strategy of counterattacking Mongolia in the Yamen of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

Gao Yihuan was wearing a dragon robe and a winged crown on his head, holding the jade belt around his waist with both hands domineeringly.

It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang once had a habit, when the jade belt was lifted up to his chest, it showed that he was in a good mood.Conversely, when his jade belt droops below his abdomen, it shows that Lao Zhu is very unhappy, and if he wants to lose his temper, he must kill someone.

Gao Yihuan didn't have this bad habit. He was tired from holding on to the jade belt all the time. Most of the time, he had a small belly and pressed down on his belt. He looked like a leader.

"The Great Wall is thousands of miles away, and the vassal mansion can't defend it at all. I think it is better to take the initiative to attack than passive defense." Li Dingguo stood by the sand table and pointed at the line of the Great Wall with a wooden stick.

Once Zhang Xianzhong died, Li Dingguo became a general of the Western Wei State without any obstacles.

Gao Yihuan put his hands on his belt: "Dingguo, you plan to talk to some generals."

In discussing how to deal with Mongolia, Gao Yihuan had already discussed with several major ministers and generals, and came up with a strategy of both offense and defense. Today's discussion is mainly to talk to the generals below.

For Li Dingguo, a general of the Western Wei Army who joined the Wei Army halfway, and directly entered the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, becoming the former Right Commander of the Army, many generals of the Western Wei Dynasty were still somewhat dissatisfied.

However, it is gratifying that Li Dingguo killed the king of the Manchu Dynasty, so that although they had emotions, they could not express them.

In addition to Li Dingguo, Wu Sangui was also given the title of Governor, but his title was completely false to stabilize Guanning's old department.

"Your Majesty! Ladies and gentlemen!" Li Dingguo saluted and cupped his hands, and then said: "I thought our army should deploy infantry along the Great Wall to guard the pass, so that the Mongols could not easily break through the pass. Attack instead of defend, kill chickens to make an example to monkeys, let them know that I, Dawei, are not easy to mess with."

Wei Jun was the little overlord of Zhongzhou before, and he was able to survive because of his ruthlessness that dared to risk his life.

It's like a little hooligan who doesn't take his own life seriously, and at the same time despises the lives of others. When others know that there is a real fight, they may be able to kill this little hooligan, but this turtle is so cruel that he might cut himself off with a stab With one hand, the vast majority of people would not mess with this little rascal.

Gao Yihuan coughed lightly, and took over the conversation, "The weaker you are, the easier it is to attract more wolves to peep. My Great Wei has the Great Wall defense line, and the Mongols can't easily break in, but their Mongolian grassland is flat. Our horses When the army goes out, it will attack a small tribe, and leave when it encounters a large tribe. When it is chased to nowhere, it will retreat to the Great Wall. .”

Xu Heihu, Hu Dawei, Hao Yaoqi, Ma Bao, Wang Pingfan, Gao Qilong and other generals around the sand table listened carefully. All the generals of the Wei army were gearing up, but Wang Pingfan and the others had some horror on their faces.

Since Saarhu, the army in the Central Plains has rarely taken the initiative to attack outside the pass, and they are still not used to it.

Gao Yihuan looked around the crowd and said: "The best way for the past dynasties to solve the border troubles is to take the initiative. The defense can only be passively beaten, and a little bit is eaten away by the barbarians. The Han chased the Huns, and the Tang Dynasty attacked the Turks. And my great Wei is just like the rising sun, how can we let them bully? Xu Heihu, Hu Dawei, get ready, the army will set off tomorrow, and sweep the tribes in Hetao before the Mongols attack."

Gao Yihuan didn't know what conditions Dorgon used to persuade Mobei Mongolia, but he knew that the reason why Mobei Mongolia went south must be inseparable from two factors. Only by meeting these two requirements at the same time can Mongolia go south.

After thinking about this point clearly, Gao Yihuan and the Western Wei State can formulate coping strategies based on this.

Xu Heihu, Hu Dawei and other generals heard the words and immediately clasped their fists solemnly, "Your servants take orders!"

Two days ago, Gao Yihuan had already reminded Hu Dawei that the army had already made preparations. After Gao Yihuan gave an order, the army packed up and immediately marched northward.

Mongolia at this time was mainly divided into three parts, one was Monan Mongolia and Modong Mongolia, which had defected to the Manchus and were controlled by the Manchus, and the other two were mainly Mobei Kharkha Mongolia and Moxi Mongolia.

As the Manchu Qing gradually became stronger, Khalkha Mongolia and Moxi Mongolia both adopted a policy of reconciliation with the Manchu Qing. A long time ago, the three tribes of Khalkha, Chechen Khan, Tuxietu Khan, and Zasaktu Khan Send envoys to pay tribute to Qing, expressing nominal surrender.

Two years ago, Mobei Mongolia invaded Shanxi and was defeated by the Qing army, which made Mobei Mongolia even more afraid of Qing and expressed its surrender again.

However, this kind of surrender is not like Monan Mongolia and Eastern Mongolia, which are completely integrated with the Qing Dynasty, but still maintain independence.

In November, the Hetao Plain is covered with a layer of snow, and the ground is completely white.

At this time, the Yellow River was frozen, and thousands of white tents were densely packed in a field beside the river. Some Mongolian herdsmen were feeding hay to the livestock in the sheepfold.

In the camp, a Mongolian woman with flushed cheeks was cooking kumiss and milk tea and preparing breakfast.

A few miles away, an army full of murderous intent was silently hiding behind a hillside, like a sharp sword about to be unsheathed.

Wei pulled Ma Bao out of the binoculars, looked at the smoke rising in the distance, put the binoculars in his arms, then pulled out his sword in a "babble", and roared, "Kill!"

Three thousand horses galloped, their hoofs stepped on the ground, splashing white snowflakes and yellow soil, and the knights of the tiger horse army drew their swords out of their sheaths and held their lances horizontally, like a pack of wolves pounced several miles away. flock of sheep.

The herdsmen living on the grassland hadn't seen the army from the south appearing on the grassland for many years, and they didn't realize that the danger was coming.

In the early morning, the tribe was quiet and peaceful. In a large tent in the center of the tribe, the chief of the tribe was gathering several men and said in Mongolian: "This time the three tribes of Khalkha went south to the Guanzhong to fight the grass valley. We in Monan Mongolia, We also need to recruit warriors as guides. King Zhasak Doro asked our tribe to send out 300 people, Amitai, you can lead people out today."

Outside the camp, the Ma Jun had faintly seen the tents in the distance. Ma Bao pointed his long knife to the left and right, and the cavalry behind him immediately divided into three teams, and rushed to the camp all the way, outflanked the left and right, and killed the tribe composed of thousands of tents.

"Rush! Kill the Tartars!" The roar of the Wei army and the trampling of horseshoes alarmed the Mongols. Many herdsmen in the camp got on their horses one after another and took up their weapons to meet them. Men, women, old and young in the tent rushed out in a mess.

A small tribe with insufficient population, the Mongolian herdsmen who came out were cut off from their horses one after another, the air was filled with blood mist, corpses were everywhere, the snow was stained scarlet, the scene was horrible...

Wei Jun crashed into the camp suddenly, with swords flying, and the camp was full of hacked herdsmen, with heads, stumps and bloody corpses everywhere. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the blood gathered into a ball. Howls are everywhere~~~
