Chenyang City, temporary palace.

Not long after, the Chief of Korchin, Chahan, and the envoys of the Chahar tribes who had not left, came outside the hall.

Everyone gathered in front of the hall, chatting in groups of three to inquire about why the Regent was summoned.

At this time, a guard came out, "Everyone, come into the palace!"

Zhao Ming was resolute and sent messengers to mobilize cavalry in the pass, while summoning Mongolian tribes to see him.

Although the Ming army has trained many cavalry over the years, there are only about 30,000 cavalrymen who can undertake long-distance raids.

Therefore, Zhao Ming needed the Mongols to assist in the battle and needed reinforcements from the Mongolian cavalry.

Chahan and others came in and saluted Zhao Ming together, "Slaves and others, pay homage to the Regent!"

Zhao Ming waved his hand, "Get up! Give him a seat!"

The Mongolians were flattered and sat half of their butts on the seats brought by the guards.

At this time, when everyone saw Zhao Ming not speaking, Chahan broke the silence and whispered: "The Regent summoned the slaves and others to come, I don't know what? As long as the Regent explains, the slaves will die."

Zhao Ming smiled slightly and said in a deep voice: "In the battle of Hailanpao, the Ming Dynasty defeated the Rakshasa and made the Jurchen surrender, and you also surrendered to me. However, there are still people in the world who do not obey the king's transformation and separatist! Now that the Jurchens in the northeast are determined, the grassland and Mongolia are in peace. I am determined to take advantage of the momentum to wipe out the Zhou Kingdom and unify the world."

Zhao Ming glanced at everyone and said majesticly: "Now, I am preparing to attack Zhou in a large scale, but before attacking Zhou, I will mobilize all your troops and horses to cooperate with my cavalry to attack Zhou. After I finished speaking, do you have any objections?"

Facing Zhao Ming's majestic tone, the Mongolian tribes had just seen the power of the Ming army, so who dared to object?

"I am willing to serve the Ming Dynasty!" Chahan and others quickly saluted.

Zhao Ming nodded with satisfaction, looked at Chahan, and suddenly said in a gentle tone: "I heard that you have a daughter, but you haven't gotten married yet?"

Chahan was excited and kowtowed, "I do have a daughter, Haizhu, who has not yet been married."

Zhao Ming smiled slightly, and without saying anything, he got up and left.

However, Chahan was ecstatic and didn't care at all about sending troops and sending his daughter to him, Zhao Ming took advantage of him.

...

Ji County, Hebei.

In the river valley south of Xifengkou, a Ming soldier led his war horses and came out of seclusion under the cover of the night.

Each of the Ming cavalrymen had three war horses, one carrying the cavalry's armor and equipment, one dragging rations, and the other carrying the army's military funds, including tents, bronze cannons and tiger cannons.

On the Great Wall, Li Yuanyin was wearing armor and holding a battle knife. The soldiers beside him were stoking torches, watching the soldiers pass by.

A few days ago, Li Yuanyin, who was in Baoding, received the order of Zhao Ming, and led 30,000 cavalry to quietly move to Tianjin. Then he left the pass from Jizhou Great Wall and went to Chengde to meet with the Mongolians waiting there.

Thirty thousand cavalrymen took a night to leave Xifengkou and arrived in Chengde one day later.

This is the Mongolian ranch of the Chahar tribe. A few months ago, the Ming army often fought with the Chahar people, but now they surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.

"Governor, look!" A member of the army pointed at the distance.

Li Yuanyin raised his head, and there was only a stretch of yurts in front of him, countless Mongolian cavalry and cattle and sheep, during the entry and exit.

At this time, a team of cavalry roared in the camp, and Chahan led a group of Mongolians to stop horses in front of the army.

"Governor Li, Chahan has prepared a camp for the army!" Chahan looked at Li Yuanyin and saluted.

At that moment, Li Yuanyin talked with several Mongolian leaders and went to the camp to learn that Chengde had gathered nearly 40,000 Mongolian cavalry.

Among the 40,000 cavalry, the Chechen Khan army sent 5,000 troops, Korchin sent 20,000 troops, and Chahar sent 15,000 troops.

It was night in the army's tent, Li Yuanyin stood in front of the map, watching the garrison of the Mongols and Zhou troops in Guihua City and Hetao to the west.

If the Ming army wants to detour into Hexi, they must be clear about the enemy troops in Hetao and Guihua City, otherwise they will not block the road and will be like a dagger behind him.

If they were not clear about them, Li Yuanyin would not be able to bypass Hetao and attack Gansu.

"Governor, the troops and population of Zhou's army outside the mouth are mainly divided into two parts, one is the front set centered on Guihua City, right here!"

Chahan worked very hard about this expedition and had already found out about the situation of the Zhou army in Hetao.

He pointed to a red circle on the map, "The Zhou army in Guihua City is the soldiers of Jiang Xiang, Shanxi, with about 5,000 people, and tens of thousands of Guihua Tumot Mongolia live around."

Li Yuanyin nodded slightly and asked, "How is the defense of Guihua City?"

Chahar Taiji kept watching, observing Li Yuanyin, and found that this Ming Dynasty general was a talented person, and he was very happy.

When he saw Chahan give his daughter to the regent, he also wanted to give all his women to the officials of the Ming Dynasty in order to obtain political protection.

At this time, he saw Li Yuanyin asking questions and hurriedly said, "Governor, Jiang Xiang has strengthened the city after occupying Guihua City. If it is a strong attack, it will not be able to be broken in a short time."

Li Yuanyin frowned when he heard the words, and he was rushing thousands of miles away. All he wanted was speed and surprise. If he was wasting time in the naturalized city, it would be easy for Zhou Jun to find out the intention.

"What's the situation with the back?" Li Yuanyin asked.

Chahan pointed to a red circle on the map again, "This is the back tower, with a fertile field of thousands of miles and a plump grassland. The Zhou army had tens of thousands of garrisons here, and the Ordos troops grazed here. There were more Zhou troops here than the Zhou army in Guihua City, but they did not go to cities like Guihua City."

After listening to the information provided by the Mongolians, Li Yuanyin gradually had a plan to guide Hetao.

Li Yuanyin said to everyone after a deep voice: "Jiang Xiang has been in Guihua City for many years. Our army is mainly cavalry. If we attack the city directly, we may be blocked by the enemy. In this way, when Wu Sangui gets the news, he will guess our intentions, and the Regent's plan will fail. Therefore, for the Hetao enemy, we need to use strategies to quickly defeat it."

Chahan and Chahartaiji couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that the governor has a plan."

Li Yuanyin nodded, "This governor needs your cooperation. You will lead your army to bypass Guihua City. Under the banner of Tu Xietu and Zhasaktu, the Zhou army in Guihua City will receive news and will send troops to rescue him. At that time, this governor can take advantage of the situation to seize Guihua City."

Tushetu and Zasaktu tribe were Mongolians in northern deserts and did not surrender to Zhou. Conflicts often broke out with Zhou.

The Korqin, Chahar, and Chechen troops detoured north to raid Houtao. The Zhou army only thought it was Mongolian in the northern desert and would not suspect it was the Ming army.

Chahan and others looked at each other and saluted: "The governor is wise and humble, and he will receive the order."

Li Yuanyin then said in a deep voice: "It is better not to be late. Soldiers should be quick. Take a night off and then take action tomorrow."
