"Gei Master Chen, the soldiers found the banner of Xuan Da's border general when they cleaned the battlefield. Did something happen?"

While Wu Rui said, he handed the battle flag with the surname sewn to Chen Yichen, with a slightly solemn expression on his face.

After the Battle of Tumu Fort, soldiers from all walks of life gathered in the capital to ensure the safety of the emperor and the imperial center, but ignored the nine borders, which had the most casualties. Later, although Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu ordered Guangning Bo Liu An to supervise the construction of the beacon fortress, the replenishment of the troops was still a beat slower, and it is very likely that the border fortress would be broken and captured like Yizhou City.

"The Xuanda defense line has Dingxiang Bo Guo Deng and Changping Marquis Yang Hong, and then the Duke of Zhongguo Shi Heng, the nine sides, so there should be no problems."

Chen Yichen was also full of doubts. The orthodox Ming Dynasty and the famous generals of Jingtai are now almost all guarding the border. If they are not here, they can break through the Xuanda defense line. Then I really don’t know what to say. Is the border army so decayed?

"So should I send a memorial to the court to ask about the situation?"

Faced with Wu Rui's suggestion, Chen Yichen shook his head and said, "It is not advisable to ask for trouble for the time being. First, rectify the troops and return to Yizhou. After Boronahal escaped, he must go to help Yesen. Governor Zhu has no mobile troops, so the defense pressure will be great."

The reason for returning to Yizhou was one thing, and Chen Yichen was unwilling to submit a memorial on the other hand, because he knew very well in his heart that Zhu Qiyu was afraid of him, and he should not stretch his hand too long to cause suspicion.

In addition, Shi Heng, Duke of Zhongguo, is a narrow-minded person. If nothing happened in Xuanda’s defense line, or if the matter is not hidden, Chen Yichen’s memorial was sent to the court, it would be easy to make things worse, forming doubts about Shi Heng’s personal ability to lead the army.

Chen Yichen has been in the center of the court for so many years, but he is not as straightforward and upright as Yu Qian. It is necessary to avoid making enemies with appropriate tact.

"Yes, I will understand."

Wu Rui bowed his order and did not talk much about this matter. In fact, the Xuanda defense line gathered and had experienced several major battles. In theory, no problems should have occurred.

But at this moment, a Ming army scout team rushed from a distance. Judging from the clothes and clothes, it should be the Liaodong Army.

"I have seen Master Chen, and the young man came to pass the military newspaper under the orders of Governor Zhu."

"Thank you for your hard work, take it over."

Chen Yichen nodded, reached out to take the military documents, and asked casually: "Yizhou City is still safe, so the chief leader has no action at all."

"Reporting to the old man Chen Ge, the chief of the chief, Yesen, had already broken through from Yizhou City in the early morning, joined forces with Mongolian reinforcements and fled to the north."

What?

Hearing the scouts who conveyed military information, Chen Yichen was stunned and did not even open the letters in his hand.

The remnants of Boronahal fled eastward and chose to help Yesen, who were besieged. The action was as expected by Chen Yichen. However, there were also 60,000 Ming soldiers outside the city of Yizhou. After so many days of besieging the city, such as horses, railings and other defensive fortifications, time should be enough to be built and improved.

In addition, Chen Yichen recognized Zhu Yi's command talent. In theory, he would not break through first, at least he would not escape so easily. Could it be that there was any major mistake?

"There are 60,000 troops in Yizhou City. How could Yesen easily escape overnight? Is Governor Zhu not guarding against the remnants of Boronahal?"

Chen Yichen thought about it and found that the only possibility was that the eldest son Zhu Yi was attacked by Boronahal, caught him off guard and caused the deployment to collapse, giving Yesen the opportunity to break through. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the 60,000 Ming troops to be unable to stop the 30,000 Oirat cavalry in the city with the assistance of fortifications.

"Return to the old man Chen Ge, there is no 60,000 troops in Yizhou City, only 40,000 are still besieged. The other 20,000 were urgently ordered by Governor Zhu to retreat to Ningyuan City."

"Then why should we send 20,000 people to retreat to Ningyuan City?"

Chen Yichen is now completely lost. Ningyuancheng himself draws troops to Yizhou to siege the city, but Zhu Yi does the opposite. The two most important troops led by the chief Yesen have all captured their whereabouts. Is it necessary to focus so much on the defensive backroads?

"I don't know, Governor Zhu should have details in the military newspaper

Detailed description.”

The news that Duke Zhongguo’s defeat caused the critical situation in the Liaoxi Corridor was that in order to ensure the morale and morale of the besieged city, Zhu Yi only notified the main generals, but the lower-level soldiers did not know what was going on.

Hearing the reminder of the scout conveying military information, Chen Yichen reacted violently and quickly opened the military information in his hand and scanned it carefully. Only then did he understand what was happening behind him.

"That's so damn ridiculous!"

After watching it, Chen Yichen immediately cursed, shocking the generals present.

You should know that after the high position in the officialdom, the focus is on being happy and angry, let alone such unconcealed curse. Chen Yichen has not been so "rude" for a long time. If it weren't for the court's center being too slutty, he wouldn't have been so angry.

After all, fighting is just one thing, and losing the guilt of non-war is another thing!

"Looking north, what's wrong?"

Li Da, who was standing beside him, saw Chen Yichen's angry look and asked quickly.

"The court deducted the additional salary of Xuanda Border Army to pay the owed royal family salary, which led to the failure of Duke Zhongguo Shiheng to go to the expedition, and more than 20,000 soldiers of the border army fell to the garrison of the three guards of Urianha."

"The Ming army's stomach and banner we just discovered are the spoils seized by the Tartars. There are really a group of people who are in the throne in the court!"

The more Chen Yichen said that Chen Yichen felt the more angry. The Ming army's behavior of deducting food and pay during wartime should normally occur if the country was destroyed at the end of the dynasty. The treasury is indeed a little nervous now, but it is far from the time when it is necessary to owe the border troops to increase the salary. Do you not know what consequences will be caused by doing this?

There was a saying "joke" circulating in later generations, saying that the Ming army was not satisfied with the salary, and the salary was invincible. Where can I get the salary? The Eight Banners of the Han outside the Pass!

From a historical perspective, this sentence is really not a joke. The late Ming Dynasty owed food and salary arrears were a common behavior, and it can be said that there was no full salary. Even the most elite anti-Japanese Qi army was deceived into the martial arts field for asking for monthly salary and massacre.

That's right, the Qi family army, who returned from an expedition to Korea after fighting against the Japanese in the south, was nominally fighting for the country, who should enjoy heroic treatment, but was killed.

Only in "History of Ming Dynasty: Biography of Wang Bao", this sentence is left, "Ji Sanhui Nanying soldiers, recruited by Qi Jiguang, was transferred to attack Korea, retreated, and drove the stone gate, and clamored, and raised monthly salary. Baogui ordered to go to the martial arts field, attacked him, and killed hundreds of people."

However, if Chen Yichen had known about this accusation and dissatisfaction, he would probably have some grievances in his heart. They never thought that Shi Heng, Duke of Zhongguo, would be so brave or so reckless, leading tens of thousands of people to fight outside the border.

If you know in advance, no matter how empty the treasury is, you will think of a way to get some money from other places first.

After listening to Chen Yichen's description, the Ming army generals present were also full of righteous indignation. The central ministers were so high that they did not realize that the bottom-level soldiers received only enough money for their wages every month. This additional wage means that they could give their families a full meal, a little bit of oil, or buy some sweets for their children.

On the contrary, the princes of the Ming Dynasty, do they have the rice and grain?

However, due to their identities as generals, they could not curse directly like Chen Yichen, and could only suppress their anger in their hearts.

"Gemaster Chen, we will break out to the north first. There are 80,000 armored warriors gathered by the three guards of Urianha in the south. What should we do next? Should we rush to Ningyuan City or return to Yizhou City first?"

After all, Wu Rui is different from local and border generals. He often lives in the capital with Duke Cheng Guo Zhu Yong. He has long been used to the behavior of the imperial central civil servant group to ignore the border soldiers.

With anger alone, the tradition of respecting and inferiority in the entire system can only be expected to stand at the peak of power with the re-election of the Duke and Chen Yichen, a civil servant who is in charge of martial arts, can truly experience the sufferings of the lower-level soldiers and make changes in their treatment and status.

The most urgent task now is to win this war to fight against the three guards of Urianha, so that Chen Yichen can achieve success in the opening of Xinjiang and rise to the forefront!

Facing Wu Rui's inquiry,

Yichen showed a solemn expression on his face, and he was thinking wildly about what actions he would take next if he stood on Yesian's standpoint.

After thinking for a long time, Chen Yichen slowly spoke, "We will not go to Ningyuan City, nor will we go to Yizhou City."

"Where will go?"

"Just move from the Chahar grassland and attack the 80,000 armored soldiers from the three guards of Urianha!"

Chen Yichen showed a hint of ruthlessness in his expression. He led all the cavalry units of the Ming Dynasty's conquest army, and his mobile transfer was not inferior to the Mongols. Instead of being led by his nose first, it would be better to learn the tactics of a great man in the future. If you hit yours, I will beat mine!

After so many years of hostility, Chen Yichen dared not say that he had completely figured out Yesen. At least the other party's character and behavioral characteristics can be guessed almost exactly.

The main force of the Mongolian army was defeated on the grassland, and the entire Choros tribe was wiped out. Yizhou City was taken back by the Ming army after a few days of occupation. It can be said that except for the Xuanda Border Army who defeated Shi Heng, Duke Zhongguo, who picked up an unexpected advantage, he also planned to cut off the Liaoxi Corridor and occupy the Liaodong Dusi, the strategic goal of not achieving it.

Just ending the war and returning to the grassland in such a sloppy manner is definitely not in line with the heroic character of Yesen. He must find a way to find a way to get back. Walking north instead of running west is the best proof of his preparation for a comeback.

In recent years, the three Jurchens have gradually developed social backbone structures from the original appearance of savages and can fully find ways to attract tens of thousands of young and strong men to replenish their troops.

"Gei Master Chen, are we going to continue the unfinished three guards of Urianha?"

Han Bin licked his dry lips, and a bloodthirsty light flashed in his eyes. Expanding territory is the supreme dream of military generals. Who wouldn't want to seal the wolf's residence, drink horses and seas, and finally leave a rich and colorful stroke in history books?

Killing and conquest are the eternal themes of history!

"Of course, the three guards of Urianha have the intention of being unjust, and they must conquer the conquest to serve as a warning and let the vassal states see the consequences of betraying the Ming Dynasty."

Chen Yichen's words were extremely cold. He never believed in any royal education, but also believed in the sword in the hands of the Ming Hu Ben.

"But when we go south to fight against the three guards of Wurianha, Governor Zhu has to face the Yesian troops alone. Will there be any problems?"

After all, Feng Zheng is an official at the Ministry level. He considers the problem more from the overall situation. Without the existence of mobile troops like cavalry, the only troops led by Zhu Yi are left with passive defense. If you are not careful, you will easily be defeated one by one.

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, Chen Yichen showed a faint smile on his lips, and then said meaningfully: "You underestimate Governor Zhu. He has learned to use sea ships to mobilize troops on a large scale in a short period of time, and his deployment ability is not inferior to that of his official."

"What's more, Governor Zhu still has 50,000 troops in his hands. Even if he received reinforcements from the third Jurchen tribe, he still had little disadvantage in terms of number. If he could not defend himself under the same circumstances, how could he inherit the mantle of his father and become the Duke of the Ming Dynasty!"

Chen Yichen underestimated many people, including Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu, but he did not underestimate his blood brother Zhu Yi.

The Liaodong Metropolitan Commander is in the hands of Zhu Yi, so he dares not say anything as solid as a decent person, at least he doesn't have to worry about losing the city and land. In a sense, Chen Yichen dares to take risks and fails to defend, and goes south to attack the three guards of Urianha because his back is stable enough!

"Yes, the eldest son is the real general, so Feng Dusi doesn't have to worry."

Li Dabang Chen Yichen agreed, after all, he grew up with the family school of Yingtianfu Outer Courtyard. He has a deep understanding of Zhu Yi's talent and ability, and also has full confidence.

"Yes, I will understand."

Chen Yichen and Li Da said this, so Feng Zheng naturally would not question it anymore. He clasped his fists and retreated aside.

Looking at his subordinates asking various questions, but there was only one of the most critical questions that he didn't say. Chen Yichen asked in a playful way: "What, it's hard for you to do

Dao doesn't care. Now I only have 30,000 troops left, but I have to fight against the three guards of Urianha, 80,000 armored warriors. Can I beat it?"

Chen Yichen's question was raised, and everyone on both sides were stunned for a few seconds. It was indeed a huge gap in military strength. In addition, the Xuanda border army suffered a crushing defeat and could not reinforce it, which meant that the soldiers of the expedition army were able to fight one against three.

Chen Tang, a famous Western Han general who once said, "Those who violated the powerful Han Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away." He also said a famous saying, "The Hu people's weapons are simple and dull, and the bows and crossbows are not good. The former is only one of the five soldiers. Now I heard that they have learned the skill of the Han Dynasty, but they are still one of the three."

This is the famous Han Dynasty as the Five Barbarians!

But that was a thousand years ago after all. After experiencing the weapons of nomadic peoples after the Song and Yuan dynasties, they were actually not inferior to the Han army, and they still had a certain leading advantage at some moments.

This kind of dazed in a flash, and Li Da said disdainfully, "The three guards of Urianha are only a group of pigs and sheep, 30,000 enemies, 80,000, so why fear!"
