"Commander, Buyan has deployed his troops 30 miles away from our division and is eyeing us like a tiger watching its prey. You must allow our 10,000 cavalry to come out of seclusion to protect our clansmen!”
In Zhu Changluo's study room, Dergeld, who had been secretly promoted to the position of Lord of the Yehe Tribe but had lost control of the elite cavalry, stood in front of Zhu Changluo and roared,""If anything happens to the clansmen outside the pass, will you still be able to obtain the loyalty of our elites?”
"Our Ye He Tribe has no intention of betraying you. We just want to protect our own clansmen!”
Zhu Changluo sat behind the desk, his expression calm and unmoved.
Dergler could only turn to look at Brother Dong, who was standing behind Zhu Ke.""Brother Dong! Cousin! You are a citizen of the Ye He Tribe, and you have already given the entire Ye He Tribe to someone else. Do you want to see the Ye He Tribe perish?”
Brother Dong stood there calmly and did not answer.
Jin Taishi, who was sitting in a wooden wheelchair, frowned when he saw Zhu Changluo and the other's reaction.
The father and son wanted to use this opportunity to transfer the elites of Ye He's troops out of the pass.
They took the opportunity to escape Zhu Ke's control over them.
The current situation was a golden opportunity for them.
Unless Zhu Ke was willing to risk the possibility of his newly trained infantry being wiped out by Buyan's elite cavalry and move them out of the pass.
"Report!"
At this moment, a soldier wearing a red battle robe of the Ming Dynasty appeared outside the door. He had a pale face and red lips, and looked more like a scholar."Commander, everything is ready. Commander Qi and the others are waiting for the commander to go to the drill ground and announce the start of the drill!”
Zhu Changluo glanced at Xiong Tingbi.
Hai Zhongdi was sent out to meet Bu Yan.
Xiong Tingbi and the other young scholars who had helped him reorganize the guard station were not allowed to leave after the reorganization. Instead, they were temporarily recruited into the new army to be responsible for the logistics of the confrontation drill.
Confrontation drills were more complicated than real battles.
Take the small amount of gunpowder as an example. To ensure that there was no lethality within thirty steps, the requirement for the amount of gunpowder was very high. It had to be wrapped in paper in advance and made into a fixed medicine bag to prevent the soldiers from hesitating and panicking during the drill. Adding too much gunpowder would cause damage.
These things were not something that the uneducated and uncouth soldiers in the army could do.
They also counted the casualties of both sides during the drill and assisted the generals in making an objective and fair judgment.
Many other complicated matters needed Xiong Tingbi and the other scholars to do.
"Alright, I understand." As he spoke, Zhu Changluo stood up and walked out from behind the table. He walked straight to the golden platform stone and comforted it with a confident smile."Uncle, Brother Dong is my wife, and I am also a part of Ye He's tribe. Although I didn't send troops outside the pass, I definitely have the ability to make Buyan not dare to attack.”
Jin Taishi looked at Zhu Changluo. He could hear the unquestionable and unchallengable warning from the young man's warm words.
" Yes." Jintai Shi nodded with a bitter smile." We are family. If we don't believe you, who else can we, the homeless dogs of the Ye He Tribe, trust?"”
"Stop messing around, Dergler!”Jin Taishi scratched his head and glared at Dergler.
Zhu Changluo smiled. He knew that Jintai Shi was putting on an act for him.
He didn't expose her and pushed the wooden wheelchair out.
He would not send the newly trained infantry who had not been baptized by war to the elite cavalry outside the pass to face the Tartars.
Of course, it was even more impossible for them to let the cavalry of Ye He Tribe exit.
He hadn't completely taken back the elites of Ye He Tribe. If he sent them out now, he would definitely lose control.
Buyan had chosen a good time, and it had indeed given him a difficult problem.
……
On the Drill Ground.
"Look, that's the commander!"
"The commander is the second parent of all the soldiers in our Ji Prefecture Guard! If it wasn't for the commander, I'm afraid we would still be hungry this year!”
"Long live the commander! Long live the commander!"
……
Someone in the crowd shouted long live the commander, causing all the nearby civilians to follow suit.
Qi Jin and the others who were waiting for Zhu Ke on the stage, as well as Zhu Ke who had just walked onto the stage, could not help but have their expressions change.
"The Ming army is mighty!"
In the middle of the drill ground, Zhu Yu, who had personally led the troops to participate in the confrontation exercise, reacted the fastest and hurriedly shouted.
"The Ming army is mighty!"
"The Ming army is mighty!"
……
The harsh and high-pitched shouts made the people gradually calm down.
Daishan, who was hidden in the crowd, said regretfully,""What a pity."
Chu Ying, who was the instigator, sneered and said,"Even if it was stopped in time, the people still shouted. When today's matter reaches the ears of the Great Ming Emperor, the effect of shouting once or three times, or even more, is the same.”
As he spoke, Chu Ying stared at Brother Dong, who was standing next to Zhu Changluo on the stage.
"As Ama's fiancée, she actually gave herself to a Ming army general and even gave up the entire Ye He tribe.”Daishan also noticed Brother Dong. The news sent by the Li father and son of Liaodong had been confirmed. This was a great humiliation for the Aisin Gioro family!
Chu Ying was relatively calm. He had confirmed that Zhu Ke's new wife was the number one beauty of the plains.
Then, he turned his attention to the Qi Family Army and Zhu Ke's new army, each with a thousand men.
"Daishan, what do you think of the Qi Family's Army and the new army?”Chu Ying asked.
Before Zhu Ke arrived, they were already at the drill ground.
He had been observing for a long time. When Chu Ying asked, Daishan immediately said," After standing for two hours, the Qi Family's Army only lasted for fifteen minutes before someone started to move. After an hour, most of the Qi Family's Army began to sit down and rest.”
"And the new army is like a clay sculpture, standing in a row, motionless.”
"It seems that the new army is stronger than the Qi Family Army.”
" However…" Daishan said with a hint of mockery,""Although the new army has shown the foundation to become a strong army, they will most likely lose in this confrontation drill.”
"The Qi Family's Army is indeed made up of veterans who have been through many battles. Their lazy behavior is actually because they are relaxing their bodies before the battle and secretly accumulating strength.”
"On the other hand, Zhu Ke's new army has been standing like a clay statue. You and I both know that this state consumes a lot of physical and mental energy.”
"The outcome is self-evident.”
Chu Ying nodded. He had the same judgment as Daishan.
Chu Ying no longer had any interest in observing. Instead, he was more interested in Buyan, who was eyeing him covetously outside the pass.
"More than ten thousand elite cavalry of Bu Yan have been eyeing us from thirty li outside the pass. It's been more than a day, but they still don't dare to attack the defenseless Ye He Tribe. This old dog is really old.”
"You stay in the pass and continue to observe the battle drill. I'll come out of seclusion to see Buyan!”
"If we can persuade Buyan, we might be able to provoke a prolonged war between the Ming Dynasty and Chahar. It will only be beneficial for our Jianzhou Jurchen to annex Chahar.”
"Moreover, as long as Bu Yan breaks through the Ye He Tribe camp outside the pass, then Zhu Ke, who hasn't sent his troops out, can forget about obtaining the loyalty of the ten thousand elite cavalry of the Ye He Tribe.”
"As long as Zhu Ke is unable to obtain loyalty, we might have a chance in the future!”
"Good idea. Alright, go ahead. I'll keep an eye on this place!”Daishan's eyes lit up and he agreed without thinking.
……
At the same time.
Hai Zhongdi, under the protection of several soldiers, arrived in front of Buyan's army thirty miles away.
"This humble servant has been ordered by the commander to invite Chechen Khan into the pass to observe the confrontation drill between our army and the Qi Family Army!”When Hai Zhongdi saw Bu Yan, he went straight to the point and explained his intentions,""The commander knows what Chechen Khan wants to do. The commander asked me to tell Chechen Khan that we have no troops in ambush at the Ye He Tribe camp!”
"Too arrogant!"
"This is too much!"
"Great Khan, let's fight. With a single charge, we can rely on our warhorses to charge into the camp of the Ye He Tribe!”
……
The generals around Buyan were the first to be angered by Hai Zhongdi's contempt and shouted for battle.
Hai Zhongdi looked at Bu Yan and sneered in his heart.
This Great Khan Chahar was probably scared out of his wits by the commander's last pursuit.
In his opinion, if Bu Yan dared to attack, he would have done so long ago.
Hai Zhongdi guessed correctly, Bu Yan was indeed hesitating.
The last failure was the greatest shame and stain in Buyan's glorious life.
He desperately wanted to avenge himself.
That was why Zhu Changluo had led his troops south during the confrontation drill with the Qi Family Army.
However, when he stood in front of the Taiping Stronghold and looked at the Tartar Ravine, he hesitated.
"Chechen Khan, the commander said that if Chechen Khan is determined to attack, with your cavalry, you can come and go like the wind. Even if we have an ambush, you can completely charge into the Ye He camp and then leave.”
"Obviously, Chechen Khan isn't worried about the ambush, but that he will become enemies with my lord.”
Indeed.
The real reason why he hesitated was that he was worried that he would become Zhu Ke's mortal enemy and bring disaster to Chahar.
It was just that the secret in the depths of his heart that he did not want to mention was exposed under the scorching sun.
Buyan's heart was filled with rage, and he wished he could kill this arrogant and wise person in front of him.
However, he still endured it.
"This Khan is on equal footing with your Great Ming Emperor. Who is your commander? He has no right to invite this Khan!”Buyan mocked and then said,"I really want to see the results of Zhu Ke's training.”
"How about this, under this Khan, only the centurion has a similar status as Zhu Ke. Send a centurion to represent this Khan to observe!”
"Sure. Since Chechen Khan doesn't dare to go, then so be it. The commander only has one goal, and that is to make you Tartars recognize reality and never dare to invade our Ji Prefecture Guard again!”Hai Zhongdi didn't show any weakness and retorted.
Buyan shot a murderous glance at Di Hai and ordered a centurion to come over.
Under the watchful eyes of Hai Zhongdi, he ordered the centurion in a voice that only a few people around could hear,""Go and observe. Once that Zhu guy loses, immediately send a whistling arrow to inform him. I will treat your family well!”
Bu Yan decided that as long as Zhu Ke's new army lost, he would attack. Because if Zhu Ke lost, it meant that Zhu Ke's new army was nothing to be afraid of!
He didn't need to worry.
He left the decision of whether to attack or not to the results of the confrontation exercise.
Hai Zhongdi led the centurion of the Tartars back through the city.
Chu Ying, who was disguised as a merchant, sat in a large carriage and slowly left the city.
Chu Ying noticed the centurion entering the city and frowned.
Not long after coming out of seclusion, Chu Ying abandoned his carriage and rode his horse. Under the protection of several retinues, he rushed to Buyan's place as fast as lightning…
