Chapter 1863 : Bad News Comes

After cleaning up the battlefield, Xu Da walked back to the tent. After several days of continuous fighting, his body was really tired. As soon as he sat down, he heard a voice outside the door: "Mao Xiang, a low-ranking official, wants to see the commander-in-chief!"

"Mao Xiang is back?" Xu Da was startled and said hurriedly: "General Mao, you're welcome. Please come in and talk."

The door curtain opened, and Mao Xiang walked in with a sad look on his face. Just as he was about to clasp his fists in salute, Xu Da waved his hand and said, "We are all our own people, so there is no need to be polite, General Mao!"

Mao Xiang thanked him, stood aside, and sighed softly.

Xu Da frowned, tilted his body slightly, and whispered: "How is it? Haven't you found it yet?"

Mao Xiang sighed and said: "Bizhi has mobilized all his power and searched the entire Shen'eryu but couldn't find anyone from Xiao Yun, which made him look a little anxious.

Xu Da knew Mao Xiang's identity. What he said was that he had used all his power, which was all Jin Yiwei's spies. Xu Da knew what Jin Yiwei's methods were. Even if they couldn't find it, how could anyone else find it.

Thinking of the brotherhood between him and Xiao Yun, he couldn't help but frowned, pondered for a moment and said, "Did Xiao Yun fly out of thin air?"

Mao Xiang said: "I found out from my humble position that the night before yesterday, the eldest brother took a little brother under his account to the southeastern mountains. That night, there was no trace of the eldest brother."

"Back Mountain?" Xu Da was stunned for a moment and thought to himself: "What are brothers Xiao doing in the Back Mountain?"

"Can you send someone to look for it?" Xu Da asked.

Mao Xiang nodded and said: "The Jinyi Guards were used in the humble position, and the brothers in the back mountain were searched all over, but the eldest brother was never seen?"

"This -?" Xu Da couldn't figure out why Xiao Yun disappeared.

The two of them were talking when they suddenly heard Wang Ming say from outside the tent: "Report to the commander-in-chief, this man said that he knows the whereabouts of Brother Xiao!"

Xu Da and Mao Xiang were stunned, and Xu Da shouted: "Bring them in!"

The door curtain was opened, and Wang Ming walked in on top of a Mongolian man. Under the bright light, it was Han Zha'er.

"It's you, tell me quickly, where is my eldest brother?" Mao Xiang was concerned about Xiao Yun. Without waiting for Xu Da to ask, he took the lead and asked.

Han Zhaer snorted and ignored it, just staring at Xu Da with his big eyes.

Xu Da glanced at him and said in a calm voice: "General Han, I admire you very much for your literary talent and military strategy. Although you are defeated this time, I promise you that when we arrive in Ming Dynasty, I will definitely invite the emperor to let Han How about reinstating the officer?"

Han Zhaer lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "Okay!"

Xu Dadao: "Can you tell me the whereabouts of my brother?"

Han Zhaer said: "To be honest, Xiao Yun is dead!"

As soon as these words came out, not only Xu Da, but also Mao Xiang and Wang Ming were shocked. Mao Xiang stepped forward and shouted: "Tell me, how did my eldest brother die?"

With Xu Da's guarantee, Han Zha'er was not afraid, so he told everything about the ambush the day before yesterday. When they heard that Xiao Yun fell off the cliff, Mao Xiang and Wang Ming's eyes widened and they gritted their teeth. Mao Xiang immediately pulled out his hair. He took out the Xiuchun knife from his waist and shouted: "Thief, I will kill you!"

Han Zhaer looked at Xu Da without fear.

"General Mao——?" Xu Da shouted coldly: "Don't be rude!"

"Commander, this thief killed my elder brother. He is so hateful, how can I spare him lightly?" I will kill him to avenge my elder brother!"

"Is that so?" Wang Ming also had an angry look on his face, holding the sword at his waist with his right hand. If Mao Xiang hadn't been one step faster than him, he would have also pulled out the sword.

"He is doing this for his own sake. Besides, I have already promised to disturb his life. How can I go back on my word? I can't blame him for this. I will make a decision after I tell the emperor!" Xu Da said coldly.

The tone left no room for doubt.

It's not that he didn't want to kill Han Zhaer. His friendship with Xiao Yun was no better than that of Mao Xiang and Wang Mingqian. He just killed the enemy's surrendered general under his own tent. If word spread, he was afraid of causing chaos in the enemy's military morale and causing chaos.

There has been a big change, so Han Zhaer must not be killed at this moment.

"Commander——?" Mao Xiang and Wang Ming shouted in unison.

Xu Da raised his eyebrows, two sharp gleams flashed in his eyes, and shouted: "What, if I am handsome, you--?"

Mao Xiang and Wang Ming clasped their fists and said: "I don't dare to do this in a humble position!"

"Okay, I will handle this matter myself. General Xiao died for the country. Brother Mao will quickly respond to this matter and send this news to His Majesty!" Xu Da said coldly.

Mao Xiang gritted his teeth, cupped his fists and said, "I understand this humble position!"

"Hmm!" Xu Da nodded, said "hmm" from his nose, and suddenly shouted: "Come here, take General Han down, and treat him well!"

Two people walked in from the door and escorted Han Zhaer out.

"Commander, you...?" Mao Xiang gritted his teeth and said.

Xu Da chuckled and said: "Of course we can't kill him in the commander's tent, but out of the commander's tent, it is beyond my control. This person has done many evil things and is really not suitable to stay. I'll leave this matter to you."

It was given to two generals!"

Mao Xiang and Wang Ming were stunned for a moment, then they looked happy, cupped their fists and said, "I understand this humble position!"

Some book friends asked where the specific location of this battle was. According to the data, Shen'er Valley is 1 mile northwest of Chengguan Township. According to the translation by Professor Ma Jinwu of the Northwest Civil Academy, both Chinese and Tibetan call the valley "Yu", and Shen'er is the Tibetan word.

The place of monsters, Shen'er Valley is the Devil Valley.

Today it is called Dajiangou. It runs from east to west and is 4 miles long. It was the focus of a large-scale battle launched by hundreds of thousands of troops from the Yuan and Ming Dynasties in the northwest of my country in the spring of the third year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty. There are many places in the "History of the Ming Dynasty" Detailed records of his battles. At that time, he expanded his territory and divided his troops into garrison.

The horses were stationed at Shen'er Valley, Pingxizhai (today's Lujiagou), Caixianian (today's Caichiling) and Wangbaobao City in Lanzhou, and strictly blocked the transportation hub from the north of Andingzhou City to Lanzhou and Jingyuan. The Ming army was on the south side of the ditch mouth.

To build a mountain fortress to fight against, Xu Da must first attack

Breaking the first line of defense at Shen'er Valley. Therefore, "History of the Ming Dynasty - The Legend of Xu Da": "Separate the ditch across the ditch, and the day will pass"; "organize the troops to seize the ditch, and fight to the death." Xu Da led his troops to seize the ditch, that is

Valley, a valley. The North Ancient Road in Dingxi County runs along the foot of the west side of the mountain.

When heading north to Lanzhou via Jikou, Shen'eryu was the place that must pass through Pudi in ancient times. Therefore, various local chronicles in the Ming and Qing dynasties detailed the county's northern Pudi, in order: Shen'eryu, Fenghuocha, Dabolin, and Jikou.

"She". Mr. Guo Jiesan's "Revised Dingxi County Chronicles" Volume 5 "Historic Sites" says more precisely: "Now we will examine the terrain in detail... Shen'er Valley is immediately adjacent to Dajiangou." In addition, Wanli's "Anding County Chronicles"

22; Fengdun" contains a total of 2 piers, the beacon fire fork, sunken

The two beacons in Eryu are adjacent to each other; the same is recorded in "Fengdun" in Volume 2 of Kangxi's "Anding County Chronicles". What's more, the two beacons in Shen'eryu are still intact on the hilltop on the west side of Futai River. But some people say that they are now called Gouyihui.

The ditch is the real Shen'eryu; edited in 199

The compiled "Dingxi County Chronicle" also said that Shen'er Valley was located near 32. kilometers northwest of the county (today's Chengling). Historical facts must be respected when studying history. The author of the above two statements is asked to cite literature or investigate the terrain on the spot to deny Shen'er Valley.

It's not Dajiangou today.
