Chapter 1185: To save face and suffer the consequences

I really can't think of any other explanation, so this is the only reason that can barely make sense.

Zasak Tukhan Norbu thought so, suddenly his heart moved, and then he said to the other two people: "You said, the more people from the Oirat tribe the Ming army gathers, the more food and supplies they consume, which will be harmful to them." wrong?"

"Nonsense, that's for sure!" Tuxie Tuhan Gunbu was a little confused as to what he meant by this, but he nodded without hesitation.

On the contrary, Chechen Khan Shuolei seemed to hear something, his eyes rolled wildly, as if he was thinking carefully.

Norbu didn't care that Gunbu's words were a little rude, and said with great enthusiasm: "Then we will publicize the Ming army and let the remaining Oirat people flee to the Ming army. Oh, in this way, forget about the young and strong. , then others can let it go."

As soon as he said this, Shuolei clapped his hands and said, "This is a good idea. There are still some women and children left in our army. How about putting them back and letting them go to the Ming Army camp?"

Hearing these words of the two of them, Gunbu suddenly realized and clapped his hands and praised: "Good, this is a good idea. In this way, the Ming army will consume a lot more food, but they can't provide anything." Combat power. Haha..."

"Actually, there is another advantage!" Norbu, who was the first to propose, said with a sinister smile, "We will let these women and children go back blatantly. I believe the Ming army coach will not understand that these women and children will only give them more Consuming food will not increase combat power. In this case, will he accept it or not?"

"If you accept these women and children, you have to accept the ending we have arranged." Shuolei also had a smile on his face, and continued Norbu's words, "If you don't accept these women and children, what will the people of the Oirat tribe think? Are they watching their tribesmen starve to death outside the Ming army's camp? Haha, if that's the case, I'm afraid they can start fighting among themselves without us taking action, right?"

The three Khan kings of the Khalkha tribe looked at each other, and suddenly laughed together. They laughed very happily, as if they had seen the helplessness on the face of the Ming army commander, and saw Eqirtu and Eqirtu in the Ming army camp. The dispute between the Ming army coach and the two sides finally turned against each other.

The more the three of them thought about it, the happier and happier they felt. Therefore, all three of them did not hesitate and immediately implemented this poisonous plan that they thought was very vicious and that the Ming army could not solve.

It didn't take long for the Ming army's lookout post to discover an abnormal situation and immediately sent someone to the Chinese army camp to report it.

Oqirtu's injury was a little better, and he was discussing with Yang Sichang and others at the Chinese Army Camp about the annexation of the Oirat tribe.

"Report to Sir Zhongcheng, it seems that many women and children have been driven away from the Khalkha tribe's camp."

When Yang Sichang, Eqirtu and others heard this, they couldn't help being a little stunned. They didn't understand what the Khalkha people were doing, so they went out to have a look together.

At this time, many people had heard the news and were watching near the camp.

Seeing Yang Sichang and others coming out, some Oirat people immediately shouted: "Sir, those are our Oirat people."

"Great Khan, those women and children were captured by the Khalkha tribe!"

"Sir, please save them!"

"..."

With the telescope in hand, after watching for a while, Yang Sichang immediately understood the sinister intentions of the Khalkha people.

This move is indeed cruel, but it is useless on my side.

If there was no chat group, Yang Sichang would still be worried even if he knew that there were several other armies raiding the Khalkha tribe's lair in Mobei. Because he doesn't know whether the other armies are going well or not, whether there will be any special delays, whether they can get here in time, and when they will get here?

Without knowing these issues, the Khalkha people's conspiracy would definitely put him in trouble.

However, with the chat group, Yang Sichang could grasp the whereabouts of other armies in real time. The consumption of food and supplies is also within control. He, the coach, knows these things clearly.

Therefore, after reading it, he immediately made a decision in his mind.

But Eqirtu was different. At this time, he already knew that the Ming army was going to march north to Mobei. After plowing through the caves, they would set out from Mobei to join here. But he didn't know the specific movements of the Ming army. After all, this was a major military matter, and in the entire military camp, only Man Gui and Yang Sichang knew about it.

When he saw thousands of women and children from his own tribe being driven over by the Khalkha people, Oqirtu immediately understood the sinister intentions of the other party. Suddenly, he was a little worried. With thousands more mouths, the camp will consume more supplies. Can it last until reinforcements arrive?

Thinking of this, Eqirtu turned to look at Yang Sichang, took the initiative and said: "Master Zhongcheng, those are the common people of the Ming Dynasty and the emperor's subjects. You see..."

He originally wanted to say, how about saving some of the rations for the Oirat people and sharing them with these women and children?

However, before he finished speaking, Yang Sichang turned to him and said with a smile: "What a vicious strategy. I think the Khalkha people will not only expel the Oirat women and children who have been captured in the camp, but even We will continue to recruit and drive more Oirat people over. The purpose is nothing more than to consume our food supplies as soon as possible..."

Hearing this, Oqiltu suddenly felt something bad in his heart. If it was just these women and children in front of them, they might be able to endure it by gritting their teeth, at least saving some from the current rations of the Oirat people. But if the Khalkha people really continue to drive other Oirat people, especially those who have no fighting ability, then...

Thinking of this, Oqirtu's heart sank. Just when he was about to say something else, he heard Yang Sichang change the subject and said to him with a smile: "I just want to say that the Khalkha people can use this poisonous trick. If all the officials take over, we can save more people of the Ming Dynasty!"

When Eqirtu heard this, he was a little stunned, but then he was ecstatic. From Lord Zhongcheng’s words, doesn’t it reveal that the Northern Expedition of the Ming Army in Mobei should go smoothly? Should there be enough food supplies here?

While he was thinking, Yang Sichang smiled and said to him: "Great Khan, I have a plan, and I need your cooperation."

"Master Zhongcheng, if you have anything to say, just say it!" Eqirtu replied without hesitation, with a respectful tone in his tone, "As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it!"

At the same time, in the distance, the three Khan kings of the Khalkha tribe were watching the situation from a distance.

I saw the thousands of women and children being driven closer and closer to the Ming Army camp, but there was no movement in the Ming Army camp. Seeing this, Norbu immediately said confidently: "If the king's prediction is correct, the governor of the Ming army must have discovered our intention. It seems that he does not want to accept these women and children from the Oirat tribe!"

"Hahaha..." Gunbu laughed happily, "The governor of the Ming Dynasty was a scholar. Among other things, the scheming person's mind is very clever. He must have seen our intentions. Now there is something good. After watching the show, I don’t know what Eqirtu will do?”

Shuolei also laughed and said: "The honeymoon between the Ming Army and the Oirat tribe is probably over. I can bet you that the Ming Army should be able to accept these women and children. But, if there is another time, haha..."

"It's true. It is said that the emperors and officials in the Central Plains are all about saving face. This is the first time that the women and children are driven out. I guess they can't veto it outright. They won't watch these women and children starve to death outside the Ming Dynasty camp." Norbu smiled confidently and said, "But if we continue this move, you just have to watch out. Sooner or later, the Ming Army and the Oirat Department will fall out. Of course, there is a possibility!"

"What's possible?" Upon hearing this, Shuolei turned to look at him.

Gunbu was also a little curious and asked: "It's impossible for the Ming army to accept the punishment no matter how much it takes, and then they all starve to death, right?"

"No!" Norbu pointed with his hand in the direction of the military camp and said flatly, "The king mentioned another possibility. The Ming army will always accept Oirat women and children, and when the food and grass are exhausted, they will fight with us with all their strength. If we can win the battle, we will naturally not have to worry about food and grass!"

Hearing this possibility, the other two looked at each other, and then looked at Norbu at the same time. Suddenly, the three of them laughed together, and they laughed happily.

After laughing for a long time, Norbu stopped his laughter, looked at the Ming army camp with an expression of wisdom, and said: "When the Ming army commander sees it, we will mobilize troops from Mobei." At that time, I will probably be in despair!”

At present, the Khalkha tribe has more than 30,000 troops, and the Ming army plus the capable warriors of the Oirat tribe have about 15,000 men. Although the difference in number is about double, in the final analysis, they can still fight for an army. Fighting. However, when Mobei mobilizes troops, the combined strength of the three Khalkha tribes will reach about 60,000. As a result, the huge disparity in military strength between the two sides cannot be won by a fight.

Hearing Norbu's words, Gunbu shook his head and said with a smile: "In order to wipe out these more than 10,000 Ming troops and completely annex the Oirat tribe, we took away all the old people in Mobei. Those Ming troops The army, as well as the people of the Oirat tribe, should be able to die in peace!"

Several people laughed after hearing this, but Shuolei seemed to be more cautious, and reminded: "To the east, Tanma must be strictly guarded against Ming Dynasty sending reinforcements!"

"That's for sure!" Norbu replied without hesitation upon hearing this.

Under the watchful eyes of the three of them, the thousands of women and children were driven to the vicinity of the Ming army's camp before they saw any movement.

It seemed that Mangui led the people out and drove away the Khalkha people who were responsible for driving away. There were also many Oirat people who ran after them. They hugged each other and cried with some of the women and children outside the military camp. The Ming army outside was a little impatient. , drove them, and finally entered the Ming army camp noisily.

After reading it, Norbu smiled and said to the other two people: "Did you see that the people of the Oirat tribe were sad and crying, but the Ming army was very impatient, which means that I like it!"

"Haha, there's no chance, let's wait for the next batch!" Gunbu smiled and drove the horse back, and said at the same time, "Go on, let them all be more efficient, drive more people to the Ming army, and those in the rear camp who are looking after the herds. , you can also transfer it here.”

These nomadic peoples, those who fight, also have army rations, usually cattle, horses and sheep, and follow the army, but they graze farther away from the army.

This time, the three Khalkha tribes wanted to see the effect, so they drove back the women and children of the Oirat tribe in their army. In their rear camp, there were many women and children who had been captured before. They were originally Waiting to be escorted back to Mobei.

The other two kings would not have any objections to this either. Anyway, let these women and children go back. After the war here is over, these women and children will eventually be caught by them, and they will not lose anything. He even had a kind of expectation, just thinking about watching another good show.

Two days later, the three kings of the Khalkha tribe began to watch the show again.

This time, there were obviously more women and children than the first time, about twice as many as the first time. About four to five thousand women and children were driven to the Ming army camp.

As expected, even if they were far away, they could vaguely see the disharmony in the Ming army camp. There seemed to be a little conflict between the Ming army and the Oirat people. After lingering for a long time, the deafening cries inside and outside the military camp could be heard clearly even by them. Finally, these Oirat people were finally reluctantly taken into the military camp.

"Hahaha..." Gun Bu laughed and said, "It's a pity that there are not so many women and children. Otherwise, if we send another batch, they will start fighting directly!"

"Well, try to find them as much as possible. Let's treat it as a good deed and create more opportunities for them to reunite with their families!" Norbu said with a sinister smile.

When the other two heard this, they laughed maliciously.

Five days later, after the three kings saw the Ming army camp and accepted another group of women and children, Zasak Tuhan Norbu asserted: "I think it's almost done. The commander of the Ming army is indeed a scholar. He couldn't save his face and chose to waste his life." Use all your food to fight us on this desperate road."

Having said this, he turned to look at the other two people and said with a smile: "Everyone, the troops of the three tribes in Mobei have almost arrived. Is it time to make a debut and make the Ming governor of the Ming army despair who wants to save face and suffer? ah?"

"Hahaha..." Gunbu laughed heartily and said loudly, "I like to see people despair the most!"

"Yes, we can't give the Ming army a chance. It's better to let the Ming army become desperate and chaotic, so that we can watch the show and finally eliminate them!" Chechen Khan Shuolei nodded and agreed with a smile.

Seeing that the opinions were unanimous, Norbu immediately said with a smile: "Okay, in that case, let's watch the show tomorrow!"

At this time, they are already imagining: tomorrow, suddenly, the number of troops on their side will suddenly increase so much, and everyone in the Ming army and the Oirat tribe will probably be desperate!
