nanming man

Chapter 863
The soldiers of the State of Wei who came out suddenly threw the Oirat cavalry into chaos. The centurion headed by them was also wounded by the firecrackers, and his stomach was bleeding.

He chased the Yeerqiang people for several days and nights, three horses ran away and two horses died, and he was about to succeed, he didn't want to kill hundreds of Wei troops halfway, and let his previous efforts be wasted. .

Seeing the chased people escape on horseback, the Oirat cavalry was soon surrounded by the Wei army, and he was bloody and needed to be rescued. The centurion could only pull the rein of the horse in grief and anger, and shouted anxiously, "Get out! Run! !"

The centurion took a deep look at Ismayel's back, then hastily pulled the reins and led his subordinates back in a panic.

Li Benshen led dozens of cavalry to chase after him, and was shot back by the Oirat cavalry. He failed to catch up with the Oirat cavalry, but several of his subordinates were shot and wounded by the Oirats. He didn't dare to chase any more, so he reined in his horse and withdrew his troops.

Ismael was in danger, and when he saw the reinforcements rushing out, he breathed a sigh of relief. The horse continued to run forward, and after a few steps, the speed gradually slowed down. Finally, its hooves gave way, and it lay on the ground, throwing Ismael fell down.

Outside Jiayuguan, the living conditions were relatively poor. In order to protect the trade routes, the State of Wei gradually restored the garrisons in Yumen, Dunhuang and other places.

When the Wei army besieged Taiyuan, the Qing army in the city ate people and aroused public anger. They were no longer allowed in the Central Plains. Gao Yihuan transferred them outside the pass to guard the border.

This place is desolate and inhabited, and all the caravans come and go. No one knows their past, so there is less pointing.

Li Benshen rushed back with his cavalry. Li Kui had already cleaned up the battlefield, and laughed loudly, "Thirty-two were killed, twenty horses were taken, and there were more than ten wounded and dead horses."

The conditions in the northwest are poor, and the cost of transporting materials from Guanzhong is too high. Almost all Wei army departments are unwilling to go out to guard the border. Everything here is very precious. Li Kui is very happy to see the gains.

"The Oirats were not bad at riding and shooting. They shot and wounded eight of their brothers within a few miles." Li Benshen looked sullenly, looked left and right, and asked, "Where is that Yarkand man just now?"

Li Kui pointed to the back, "Have someone help the car up. It seems that Xiang is a noble from Yarkand, who can't speak Chinese, and gestures for a while, as if he is in a hurry!"

Li Ben took a deep look. He couldn't speak Chinese, so he couldn't communicate, so he waved his hand, "Let's talk when we return to the camp."

At present, more than 300 soldiers of the Wei army, led the captured horses, carried the scimitars, bows and arrows of the Oirats, and carried the divided horse corpses, all the way to the south.

Not long after, a camp surrounded by fences and dirt appeared in the distance, with herds of cattle and sheep inside, the old man was feeding the cattle and sheep, the women were chopping firewood for cooking, and the children were playing in the dusty camp. It has gradually stepped out of the haze of Taiyuan.

The women and children in the camp, when they saw the soldiers of the Wei army coming back from a distance, immediately cheered and greeted them.

Li Benshen returned to the camp and said to Li Kui, "Bring that Yarkand man over here and call for an interpreter."

In the tent, Li Benshen and Li Kui were sitting on the wool carpet produced in Guanzhong. Ismael saw the two of them and hurriedly talked a lot. The interpreter next to him was a little surprised and said: "Two generals, he is Ismayel, the prince of Erqiang, was ordered by Yarkand Khan to come to our Great Wei for rescue, and he wanted to ask the king to send troops to rescue Shache City."

Li Ben raised his brows deeply. The Great Wei Kingdom had known about the Oirats attacking Yarkand for a long time. A military order had been sent from the vassal mansion a few months ago to let the frontier troops pay attention to the situation in Yarkand. Shache was hit soon.

"Li Kui, this matter must be reported to the imperial court as soon as possible, and you continue to pay attention to the situation in the west." Li Benshen stood up, "This general will have a hard time, and accompany him to Wangjing!"

~~~~~~
After the Xinkou War in January this year, the Wei army did not engage in any other wars except for besieging Taiyuan.

Originally, according to Gao Yihuan's plan, he would take a year off this year and not fight any more wars. Before the spring of next year, he would take Luoyang with lightning speed and further consolidate his advantage, but now the situation has changed.

The rise of the Oirats made the Western Wei Dynasty dare not act rashly, so as not to be attacked by the enemy.
In the palace of the Western Wei Dynasty, Gao Yihuan gathered several ministers in the study to discuss the changes in the situation in the past few months.

"Your Majesty, the scouts report that refugees have begun to appear in Yanzhou Prefecture, Shandong Province and other places. General Liu is preparing to leave Yimeng Mountain to take advantage of the situation to recruit refugees and strengthen his army!"

Before the Battle of Hedong, Liu Heizi was in a very miserable situation. Under the heavy siege of the Qing army, he fled around the borders of Henan, Beizhi, and Shandong.

At the end of last year, after the three-party war between Wei, Ming and Qing, the strength of the Qing army was greatly damaged, and Liu Heizi became active again.

Gao Yihuan nodded slightly, "Tell him not to be too high-profile, and play by ear."

Gao Yicheng nodded, and immediately reported, "Your Majesty, according to the news from Nanjing, Nanjing and the Qing Dynasty seem to intend to formulate a plan to block Wei from three sides." Among the Hanchens who have no morals internally, as well as the ministers of the Ming Dynasty in Nanjing, there are people who have connections with the Wei State.

In the past, it was a civil servant of Wei State who quietly leaked information to Nanjing. Now the situation has reversed and many ministers from Jiangnan have secretly communicated with Wei State. The gentry has the closest relationship with the state of Wei.

"Open the net on three sides?" Gao Yihuan frowned slightly, "What is the specific situation?"

Gao Yicheng replied: "It is said that this plan was first proposed by Ruan Dacheng. At first, it was only a joint effort between the Nanming and the Manchu Qing. Later, Dorgon proposed to include Oala into it, and even contacted other forces around us to work together. Join the block."

Gao Yihuan was happy after hearing this, which reminded him of Nobunaga's siege net, but it's ridiculous that Man Qing, Nan Ming, and Wala, who have their own ulterior motives, want to trap him.

At this time, Lu Yifang said: "Your Majesty, if these three parties unite together, it will be really bad for us, Great Wei. Now let's not talk about Nanming and Manqing, just talk about Wala, which has already caused us a lot of trouble. In recent years, nearly [-]% of the income of the vassal government has come from trade with the Western Regions. The Oirats invaded Yarkand, and the trade route has been cut off for two months, and the purchase of wool, leather, cattle, sheep and horses by merchants from Mongolia and Qinghai has been affected. .If the Oirats control the Western Regions, it will be difficult for the feudal government to maintain the expansion of the army."

Chen Mingxia on the side also said: "The Ministry of War is worried about the fact that the Oirats are very short of equipment and armor. If they occupy Yarkand, the army's equipment will definitely be improved, and its strength will increase greatly."

Hearing the words, Gao Yihuan couldn't help sitting upright, and began to pay attention. At this moment, Wang Shicong suddenly came in and said to Gao Yihuan: "Your Majesty, Li Benshen brought Prince Yerkand to ask for an audience."

"Oh?" Gao Yihuan was surprised, "Let them come and see you."

"Yes!" Wang Shicong bowed and was about to retreat, but Gao Yihuan suddenly got up again, "Wait, let Prince Yeerqiang settle down first, and call Li Benshen to see Gu!"

Gao Yihuan thought about it for a while, and decided to learn about Prince Yarkand's intentions from Li Benshen first, and then come to meet him, so as not to be difficult to deal with at that time.
