Chapter 2044: Everything Is in Preparation

On the vast grassland, a team of cavalry marched forward alone. ． Fastest update

"Your Highness, the snow has melted!"

Zhu Gaoxu dismounted, squatted down and scraped away the thin layer of snow covering the grass.

The snow water wet his gloves, and the vitality underneath made him refreshed.

This is reincarnation.

Zhu Gaoxu stood up with some disappointment and said: "The melting of the snow means movement, those people will come out, continue, go around left and right."

Two teams of cavalry were immediately separated from the main formation, and they began to detour from both wings.

This is to prevent encountering enemy scouts, but it is not necessarily safe.

Zhu Gaoxu wanted to start now, but he only brought out a thousand cavalry.

According to Fang Xing's meaning, after a long journey, they must rest for a while, wait for supplies and scout the enemy.

Pugu and Wuen are not nomadic tribes like the Xiongnu, they have fixed garrisons. They were alert, even though their main direction was to face the front...

Zhu Gaoxu took out his water bag and drank a sip of wine, and said with satisfaction: "Attack from Hami Guard, flank raid, good!"

Lonely march, constantly detour to investigate...

...

The subordinates advised Zhu Gaoxu to go back, because Turpan was the next step, and he would meet many herdsmen, exposing the intentions of the Ming Dynasty.

But Zhu Gaoxu still refused. He wanted to capture a few prisoners and ask Pugu what they were doing now.

So one morning, when the morning mist had not yet dissipated, the cavalry that detoured in front brought news of the discovery of enemy scouts.

Zhu Gaoxu galloped away on his first horse, and the sound of horns kept coming, and the three-sided encirclement was a foregone conclusion.

More than a dozen riders were running away. After seeing the armor of the Ming army, they turned around and ran without thinking.

Zhu Gaoxu found a place to vent his anger after holding it for a long time, and shouted loudly: "Kill those who dare to escape!"

But the Ming army did not listen to him.

After finally catching the tail of the enemy scout,

How can we kill them randomly?

We need to keep them alive!

As the distance shortened, crossbows were fired continuously, and the horses that were shot neighed and fell down.

When the last six people were completely surrounded, someone shouted: "Get off the horse and throw away the knife, you can live!"

So the six people got off the horse and knelt on the ground, allowing the Ming army to tie them up.

Zhu Gaoxu only killed one person, and felt sore all over, and had no place to use his strength.

"Search five miles ahead, and come back if there is no one."

The soldiers were checking the enemy scouts who fell off their horses. More than ten people fell off their horses, and only three of them did not break their arms, legs and necks.

The screams made Zhu Gaoxu a little irritated, and he ordered: "Torture those people, get confessions immediately, and then..."

They were scouts, and there was no time to carefully identify them.

So the injured enemy scouts were subjected to various rough methods.

Amid the screams, Chang Jianxun said: "Your Highness, if we want to launch a surprise attack, the scouts must advance in multiple directions..."

"Just be faster than them!"

Zhu Gaoxu looked into the distance and suddenly cursed: "Those idiots are probably thinking about how to get more benefits from Miergan. When I arrive, I will kill him without a trace!"

"Your Highness, they are Wu En's men. They are going to find out the situation of Hami Guard."

Zhu Gaoxu glanced into the distance and said: "Call them back, we will go back immediately!"

...

"What did my brother Miergan say?"

In the makeshift wooden house, Wu En asked melancholy.

The dusty messenger said: "Your Highness, His Highness Mergan asked us to guard Yilibali carefully and keep an eye on the Ming people. Food and grass will be delivered continuously." Wu En's expression relaxed, and Pu Gu beside him asked: "What do we have to pay here? Is it free food and grass?" The messenger said awkwardly: "His Highness Mergan said... that we need to get more furs and war horses." Pu Gu sneered and said: "It is true that there are no brothers in the family of kings. Wu En, Mergan is going to use us, but not What do you say if they are willing to pay more benefits? "

Wu En said embarrassedly: "Wai Si took away most of the troops, and Yilibali is like a wasteland. It will take at least 20 years to restore the original population."

He said confusedly: "We can wait, but...but the Ming people can't wait!"

"Xinghe City is not a place of refuge. Those Ming people keep immigrating from the Central Plains. This will take a long time...Xinghe City cannot control the original Tatar and Wala territory. If a city is built in Yilibali, plus Hami Guard, Su Zhouwei... Pugu, the Ming people will completely block the power of Hali and Roumi to the east..."

Pugu said calmly: "But we are here, and it is not cost-effective for the Ming people to go on a long expedition, so everything depends on the progress of Meiergan's unification of Hali. If it is fast, then our side will be as stable as Mount Tai. Unless the Ming people come on a national expedition, the current situation will be stable."

The messenger said: "A Ming spy was found in Samarkand before, saying that he was from the East Factory..."

Pugu was still a little confused, but Wu En asked anxiously: "Did anyone escape?"

The messenger said: "Those Ming people were brave, and they died willingly after being captured. Later, they surrounded and killed one person when they were arrested..."

The messenger remembered the Ming man he saw on the side at that time, and said with some fear: "Just in front of the palace, countless people surrounded him, but the Ming man was fighting, desperately fighting, but refused to surrender, before he died..."

Wu En remembered the Ming army that had fought with Fang Xing at that time, and remembered the nature of the East Factory, so he asked: "What did he say?"

The messenger felt that he would never forget that evening. He said dully: "You will be defeated, the war will come to Samarkand, the Ming Dynasty... invincible..."

There was a dead silence...

"What is the East Factory?"

Pugu asked when he saw Wu En's pale face.

Wu En did not answer him, but continued to ask the messenger, "Did anyone escape?"

The messenger said: "We chased them all the way and almost caught up with the Ming people's border wall, but two people were taken away."

Wu En leaned back, sighed deeply, and then slowly closed his eyes.

"The East Factory is as famous as the Jinyiwei. It was originally said that it was dedicated to monitoring the officialdom in the Ming Dynasty. They appeared in Samarkand. Pugu, do you know what this means?"

"The Ming people are watching us!"

Pugu stood up and shouted: "Send more scouts to the Ming people's border wall to inquire about the news!"

Someone outside the door answered, Pugu turned around and looked at the frustrated Wu En, and said: "This is not terrible, they just sent spies, Wu En, cheer up!"

Wu En opened his eyes, Muttering: "Pugu, the news shows that there is a dispute brewing in the country, but don't forget that the emperor of the Ming people is very young and impulsive. The stupidest thing Miergan did was not to kill all the spies."

"As long as the Ming people know that Ha Lie is preparing to unify, according to the temperament of their old emperor, they will definitely come to fight. They will not stop until Ha Lie is defeated and dispersed!"

Pugu frowned and said: "It's not that scary. If they are on an expedition, we will retreat."

Wu En smiled bitterly: "Where to retreat? Ha Lie? There are devastated places there."

Pugu Gu said softly: "We will not watch our friends being bullied. Believe me, Wu En, Rou Mi will not sit idly by, because after that, the next target of the Ming people will be us."

"Yesiya said that the Ming people hope to get along with us in a friendly manner, but...Mie Ergan's ambition ruined everything."

Wu En said bitterly: "The Ming people will not allow a powerful Ha Lie to stand against them again. Mei Ergan should have treated the Ming people's captives well at that time, so that he could confuse the Ming people. Now...I feel that everything is being prepared, and I don't know when it will start."
