~~~~~~

On the eighth day of June, after seven days and eight nights of crazy running, Kong Youde and Shunzi had successfully entered the Liaohetao and arrived at the common upper reaches of the Sancha River and the Liaohe River, probably in the hinterland of the grassland about seventy or eighty miles west of Changning Fort.

.

By this time, Shunzi had to admire Kong Youde's precise planning.

During these days, especially after entering the hinterland of Liaohetao, the two units looted a total of five or six small Mongolian villages. When things went well, they looted three in one day.

Although the income is not very generous, it allows the men to get into the rhythm smoothly and ignite their passion.

Even by this time, except for a few horses that had some problems and were killed for meat, not a single one of the more than 2,000 soldiers was left behind.

Especially with the addition of more than a thousand excellent Mongolian horses, the team's mobility has been further strengthened on a large scale.

In the evening, the team set up camp by the river. They ate delicious roast mutton, drank hot kumiss, and had more than a hundred young Mongolian slave girls providing entertainment. The morale of the troops was high.

Shunzi and Kong Youde were also in a good mood, drinking wine and eating meat while discussing the specific itinerary for tomorrow.

"Old Zhang, what I mean is that tomorrow, including the next five, six, and seventy-eight days, we will mainly advance northward. At this time, the grasslands are rich in cattle and horses. We will try to get more war horses at this time. After that,

Even if we encounter the main Tatar force, we will be more prepared to deal with it."

Shunzi nodded slowly, "Lao Kong, I have no objection to your consideration. However, I feel that our marching speed has been a little slower these days? With our current horsepower, we can travel two hundred miles a day, three

A hundred miles is not difficult, but it is only a hundred and fifty miles, and the pace is a bit too slow. Today is the eighth day of June, and we don’t have enough time."

Kong Youde smiled: "Old Zhang, you don't need to worry about time. We haven't come here easily yet, so we should try not to be bound by these fearless things. If we are restricted in doing things, how can we achieve the maximum gain? Besides, it is not enough.

We are responsible for the soldiers under our command. However, what you said about speeding up the march is correct. Starting tomorrow, we will try to march three hundred miles a day. Anyway, these Mongolian women are all skilled in equestrian skills and will not become

Our burden!"

Shunzi also understood what Kong Youde meant, but he shook his head and laughed: "Old Kong, I knew you were so wild-minded! I didn't expect that you were wilder than I thought! But, that's fine! Now that we're here,

, just do something big!"

…………

Early in the morning of the next day, the whole army set off smoothly and ran forward facing the rising sun on the flat horizon.

The population of Liaohetao was not very prosperous at this time. There had been many battles between the Ming Army and the Later Jin Army, and there were already some wounds everywhere.

Even after these five, six, seven or eight years of recovery, the effects are not very understandable.

This is actually the greatest sorrow of the nomadic people.

Their reproductive capacity, including that of livestock, is somewhat pitifully low.

Therefore, among these ethnic groups, the matter of being a father is not only not a joke, but is a real property.

Because both boys and girls will become important laborers.

However, the Mongols in these areas were originally vassals of the Ming Dynasty, but at this time, they have become the accomplices of the Tatars!

Running wildly on the endless green grassland made even the war horse feel much happier.

Although there are maps provided by Fan Yongdou and the Qu family, there is great mobility on the grassland. Villages and tribes often migrate in search of richer water and grass pastures. If you want to catch the big tribes, it depends on your luck.

However, nomadic peoples all live near water, and Kong Youde and Shunzi's thinking is simple and crude. As long as they walk along the river, they will be right!

Three days later, the two groups had meandered nearly a thousand miles and arrived at the west side of Tielingwei.

Along the way, the two tribes wiped out a large tribe of a thousand people, three to four hundred people, and a small tribe of dozens of people. The number of war horses has expanded to nearly 9,000.

Although the journey was tough due to the wind and dew, the soldiers' faces were all shiny because of the good food and drink, and they showed indescribable fortitude and joy.

At noon, the two troops had just stopped to rest and prepare to have a sumptuous lunch. At this time, fine cavalry came from the front and reported: "Two generals, a cavalry of more than a thousand people was found in front. It should be Mongolian."

There are five to six thousand horses, and they seem to be escorting some important person."

When Kong Youde and Shunzi met each other, they couldn't help but feel refreshed.

At this time, although they were pursuing the strategy of 'cutting the grass and rooting out', it was midsummer and the mobility among these Mongolian tribes was still very high. They had already touched the hinterland of the Horqin Grassland.

On the grassland, because the terrain is flat, there are no secrets.

Especially these Mongols and Jurchens, who also like to cook eagles. If they discovered these Mongols, then~~ these Mongols must also have discovered them.

"Lao Kong, what should I say? Do you want to do it or not?"

Shunzi had already stood up and her hand had already touched the handle of the knife.

Kong Youde was very calm and asked calmly: "How far are they from us?"

The sentry hurriedly said respectfully: "There are still twelve or three miles, but they have carriages and a lot of property, so they shouldn't be able to run fast."

Kong Youde smiled coldly: "Old Zhang, killing one is killing, killing ten thousand is killing! Let's go! Try to leave no one behind!"

Shunzi laughed loudly: "Lao Kong, do you know? I just like your temper! Let's go!"

The two thousand soldiers had no time to eat, so they quickly packed up their gear and, surrounded by nearly nine thousand war horses, chased towards the north like the wind.

At this time, the Mongolian horse team from the Horqin royal family, which was more than ten miles northwest of Kong Youde and Shunzi, was also a little panicked.

They never dreamed that in the hinterland of the prairie, in the back garden of the Kingdom of Jin, they would actually encounter the Ming army.

Moreover, this Ming army has ten thousand war horses, so it must be at least three to four thousand men.

"Master, I know the dog is coming with force and has already rushed over. What should we do?"

A Mongolian captain was already a little panicked and hurriedly came to his master.

The master was about fifty or so. He was born very wealthy and handsome, and was slightly chubby, which is extremely rare among contemporary Mongolians.

At this time, most people are sallow and thin.

Even among the Mongolian royal family, there are very few fat people because they are at least fighting all year round.

In particular, this master looks very handsome. Even though he is a bit old, his frame is very smooth. One can tell at a glance that this man must have been a handsome man when he was young.

It was Beile, Borzigit and Buhe of the Mongolian Horqin tribe who were honored as father and daughter.

When it comes to Buhe's name, many people will find it strange and even impossible to talk about it.

But~~, if we talk about his precious daughter, Bumbutai, the future lord of gold, the concubine of Bodar Khan Huang Taiji, the future famous Empress Xiaozhuangwen, the mother of slave chief Fulin, and the daughter of slave chief Xiao Mazi

Grandma, even if no one knows it, no one knows it!

At this time, Buhe had just returned from Shengjing to pick up her precious daughter Bumubutai, who had been married to Huang Taiji for five years, and returned to Horqin to relax.

Bumubutai has been married to Huang Taiji since he was thirteen years old. To a certain extent, he and Huang Taiji respect each other as guests and are very favored by Huang Taiji.

However, everything has changed since her sister, Hai Lanzhu, entered the palace.

At this time, it was extremely difficult for even their aunt Zhezhe to get Huang Taiji's favor, let alone Yulu.

Bumbutai, who is at the back of the queue, is only seventeen years old this year. It is the most wonderful years of a Mongolian woman's life, but she has to stay alone in an empty house...

Especially the person who took away her favor turned out to be her sister who was ten years older than her. How could the arrogant Bumbutai endure this?

Since the Great Khan didn't favor her, she really had no choice but to take precautions, she gave her Great Khan a face and acted a little less tempered.

As the Han people say: "A little farewell is better than a new marriage."

In this case, she took advantage of the most beautiful season to go back to Horqin to relax and stay for two or three months. Then, she would see if the Great Khan missed her or not and whether he would send someone to pick her up!

But who would have thought that such a trivial matter, which was not a big deal in the first place, would actually take place at this moment and encounter the main force of the Ming army, Wanqi...

Buhe was born in honor of his father and daughter, and was of noble birth, but his own abilities were not outstanding. At this time, when he heard that he had encountered the main force of the Ming army, he was already a little panicked and quite confused.

I kept thinking silently in my heart: "Blessed by the God of Immortality, blessed by the God of Immortality, how can we meet the main force of Ming Gouzi here?"

Especially at this time, there were more than a dozen carriages in the team, all of which were treasures brought back from Shengjing by his precious daughter Bumu Butai to honor him. How could he give up so easily and run away directly?

Seeing that Bu He lost his mind, the Mongolian captain also became a little anxious and said hurriedly: "Master, the sound of horse hooves has been heard. You should make a decision quickly. Otherwise, Ming Gouzi may come to kill him.

.”

"This this……"

Bu He wanted to express something, but for the moment he didn't know how to choose.

At this time, the curtain of the carriage next to her was lifted, revealing a pretty face full of youthful charm and vitality.

Bumbutai didn't panic too much. Her big eyes were filled with a calmness that was far beyond her age. She said coldly: "Duoji, what happened?"

The Mongolian commander named Duoji hurriedly said: "My lord, something serious has happened. Ming Gouzi's main force has been discovered ten miles away in the south."

"The main force of Minggou?"

Bumbutai's beautiful eyebrows couldn't help but frown slightly, and said calmly: "Doji, are you blinded? How can there be a bright dog leader here?"

Bu He also reacted at this time and said hurriedly: "Yes. Duoji, you are a dog slave, did your recruitment fail? How come there is a clear dog leader here?"

Duoji is like a mute who ate Coptis chinensis and couldn't express the pain for a while.

He hurriedly explained: "Master, little master, it should be good. Their sentinels are all red mandarin ducks and jackets, so they must be from the Ming army. I am not sure whether they are the main force of the Ming army or not."

Bumbutai couldn't help but sneer: "Dorji, you are the bravest warrior of our Horqin, and our Baturu of Horqin! Is this your attitude towards the enemy? This is the hinterland of my country, and it is surrounded by my country.

Among the tribesmen, how many Minggu people can make you so scared?"

"this……"

Dorje couldn't help but be speechless.

Although he is Bu He's slave, due to Bu He's incompetence, Duoji can be said to be a powerful figure with little reputation but considerable strength in the Horqin tribe.

Especially for Horqin, the most beautiful flower - Bumbutai, Duoji has been attached to it for a long time.

If Bu He was irritating him like this, Duo Jizhen might not pay attention. But at this time, the most beautiful flower in his heart had already spoken, so how could he still choose to run away?

Furthermore, this is the hinterland of Dajin, how many smart dogs can there be?

The more than a thousand people under his command are all the most elite warriors in the clan!

"Little Master, I understand! I will go and kill all these despicable Minggouzi!"
