Chapter 716: Huang Taiji's legacy
In May, the grass on the Hetao Plain soars, and groups of cattle and sheep roam the pastures.

In the undulating pastures, there are tents of the Qing army all over the place, and nearly 13 cavalry are crowded in the land of Hetao.

Originally, the Qing army did not have the ability to support so many soldiers and horses to fight, but the Qing army captured a large number of cattle and sheep, and the war horses had fat pastures to eat, which reduced the pressure on the Qing army's food supply.

At this time, in the vast field, the sound of horns echoed. Mongolian cavalry, as well as cavalry of the Eight Banners, galloped back and forth on the grassland in groups.

On the bank of the Yellow River, a big flag stands tall, and Jierhalang, who is wearing a blue armor, stands on a horse under the banner, and Hauge stands beside him on horseback.

In front of them, more than a dozen Mobei princes were tied behind their backs by Eight Banners soldiers in blue armor, and stones were tied to their bodies.

"My lord, you are ready!" A Niu Lu with a blue flag trotted over and reported on one knee.

With no expression on his face, Jierhalang waved his hand and said coldly, "Let's get started!"

As soon as he gave an order, Zhen Manchu with the blue flag kicked the prince of Mobei who was kneeling by the river into the rolling Yellow River.

The relationship between the Manchus and Mongolia has always been good. If Mobei Mongolia voluntarily surrendered, then the Qing Dynasty would definitely give preferential treatment, but they were defeated. In order to completely eat Mobei Mongolia, Jierhalang had no choice but to kill a group of people Disobedient nobleman.

At this time, Hauge saw those disobedient princes drowned by the sinking river, his face showed excitement, he turned his head and said to Jierhalang: "Angbang Ama, Mobei has been settled now, shall we go south immediately? Break into the pass."

Ji Erhalang said indifferently: "Don't worry, we will first collect Mobei Mongolia, split them into multiple banners, and completely control them. At the same time, we will dispatch scouts to find out the passes along the Great Wall. Our army of more than [-] people will be divided into It is not difficult for the soldiers on the road to confuse the Wei army, and then choose a place to enter the customs."

Hauge nodded, and said: "Angbang Ama is right. First reorganize Mobei Mongolia, and then choose a place to break through. As long as you enter the pass, it will be a huge blow to the Western Wei Dynasty."

Jierhalang glanced at him approvingly, and then slowly said: "Gao Yihuan's momentum has been established, and it is not easy to destroy it quickly. Dorgon is so happy with his achievements, and he is too impatient. In fact, he used the strategy of the former emperor, and this king seems to be destroyed Western Wei is not difficult!"

Hauge couldn't help asking: "The former emperor's policy?"

Ji Erhalang nodded, and said to Haug: "Dorgon has deep scheming, but he can't be called a hero. The real hero of my Qing Dynasty is Emperor Taizong. At the beginning, my Qing Dynasty only occupied a corner outside the customs. However, it is like a colossal monster, and there is no hope of replacing it at all, but Emperor Taizong saw the right time and entered the pass six times, which made the vitality of the Ming country exhausted, and the hearts of the people were completely lost."

Looking to the south, Jierhalang seemed to be able to see the palace of the king of Wei in Xi'an, and continued: "I can completely adopt Taizong's strategy in the past when dealing with the Western Wei Dynasty, and take advantage of the horse army to break through the city and invade the enemy. Don't fight the main force of the Wei army, but choose weak places to attack and plunder the countryside. After a few times, the Western army is like an elephant that is bleeding continuously, and one day it will collapse like the Ming Dynasty."

Hauge nodded slightly, "Angbang Ama, I understand!"

Jierhalang immediately ordered: "I will leave it to you to investigate the situation of the troops stationed along the passes along the Great Wall. Remember, be careful, from Jiayuguan in the west to Yulin Mansion in the east, can be our breakthrough. Once the situation After finding out, the army immediately went south to plunder Guanzhong."

"Cha!" Hauge immediately saluted in awe.

~~~~~~
Gao Yihuan chatted with several Mongolian generals for a while, hosted a banquet for them, and then asked the Ministry of Rites to give them Chinese clothes and brocades, allocate mansions, and land.

Although the city of Xi'an is not like the former Beijing city, nor is it comparable to the flowery Nanjing, but it is a big city in Guanzhong, the capital of the Western Wei Dynasty, and the living environment is much better than that on the grassland.

In fact, even a profuse khan on the grassland may not have the quality of life as a seventh-rank magistrate in the Western Wei Dynasty.

Historically, there have been examples of kings of small countries who came to China to pay tribute but were unwilling to return to their country.

Gao Yihuan asked the officials of the Ministry of Rites to take a few Mongolian generals to visit the mansion, visit Xi'an, experience the prosperity of Xi'an, and open the eyes of several Mongolian generals.

What they were after was nothing more than these. Several Mongolian generals visited for a few days, and immediately expressed their allegiance to Wei.

Gao Yihuan was very satisfied with this, and ordered them to return to the camp and persuade Babu to enter the customs to prevent the Qing army from attacking.

Time entered May, and after Gao Yihuan ordered several Mongolian generals to return to the camp, he immediately received a report that Qing army scouts appeared along the Great Wall.

Gao Yihuan hurriedly summoned all the generals of the five military governors' mansions to participate in the military discussion and discuss how to deal with the Qing army in Hetao.

In the Military Assembly Hall of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, Gao Yihuan sat on it as the king of Wei, with six generals sitting on both sides, and a huge sand table in the middle.

At this time, Gao Yihuan stood up and said loudly: "Everyone is here, let's start." At this point, he walked quickly to the sand table, pointed at the Great Wall with a wooden stick and said, "According to the detective, here, here, and so on." Here, scouts from the Tartars have appeared. The Qing army has a wide range of exploration. Yulin, Yan'an, Ningxia, and even Ganzhou and Suzhou may become the direction of their breakthrough. Take a look, this battle, we should How to deal with it, you might as well speak freely."

Li Dingguo pondered and said: "My lord, this is the same as before, except that what we faced before was the threat from Ordos Mongolia and Mobei Mongolia, but now it is replaced by the Manchus."

Gao Yihuan nodded, "That's true. Previously, the lonely king preemptively defeated the Ordos tribe and resolved the southern invasion of Mobei Mongolia. But now that the Qing army is gathering heavily, the lonely king can't follow the previous strategy and take the initiative to attack."

In the lobby, everyone was silent for a while, staring at the sand table, thinking about countermeasures.

At this time, Huang Bingzhong pulled his beard under his chin, and suddenly cupped his hands and said: "My lord, the characteristics of our Wei army's battles have always been that we can't fight head-on, so we break through from the flanks. I think the defense will only be exhausted, so it is better to send out surprise soldiers to contain the Qing army."

Gao Yihuan asked, "Why is it so surprising?"

Huang Bingzhong pointed in the direction of Shanxi, "Taking Pujin Pass and threatening Taiyuan. Shanxi is surrounded by mountains, with a plain in the middle, and the land in the south of Shanxi is not suitable for cavalry warfare. It is the place where our Wei army can use their strength. Fighting here is better than fighting in Guanzhong." Moreover, Shanxi is the barrier to the west of Beijing. If Shanxi is lost, Dorgon will have trouble sleeping and eating, and will not even be able to gain a foothold in Beijing. The Qing army will certainly not sit back and watch us occupy Pujin and threaten Taiyuan. The army will definitely be reinforced."

Gao Yihuan stroked his short beard, and pondered: "Guanzhong's troops are not enough to defend, and if we divide our troops to fight Shanxi, it's a bet that the Qing army wants to plunder Guanzhong more, or wants to protect Shanxi."

Li Dingguo took up the conversation, "Your Majesty, I agree with Dudu Huang's opinion. It is indeed difficult to prevent the Qing army from breaking through the pass. What the feudal government can do is to reduce losses and drive the Qing army out of the pass as soon as possible, preventing them from rushing into the Guanzhong Plain. To achieve this, I thought that we would send out a group of elite soldiers to attack Pujin Pass, threaten Taiyuan, and put pressure on the Qing army. Of course, while dispatching surprise troops, we also need to exert external pressure on the Qing army and dispatch Hanzhong The soldiers and horses of Huguang and Nanyang entered Guanzhong, strengthened the defense of Guanzhong, and pushed the Qing army out of Guanzhong."

Gao Yihuan listened to what the two said, glanced at the others, and asked loudly, "Any other suggestions? Do they all mean the same?"

Several generals glanced at each other, and Zhao Daxian said: "Anyway, I don't agree with a completely passive defense, and I seconded Lao Huang's suggestion to send out surprise troops to capture Pujin Pass."

Jin Xiangang also clasped his fists and said, "Raid Shanxi, let the Qing government put pressure on Jierhalang and Haoge from within, and then we strengthen the defense with our troops, so that the Qing army will not be able to obtain gains, and the Qing army will definitely retreat."

Seeing this situation, Gao Yihuan nodded, "That's good, let's do it like this. However, you can't blindly defend in Guanzhong. If you have the conditions, you must eat up a Qing army. The lonely king has [-] horse troops. He dares to fight four times." Sanda Grass Valley, Gu just smashed his fingers~"
