In early April of the tenth year of Wanli, on the occasion of his return to the Ming Dynasty for the sixth year, the newly married Wang Bing once again left the capital with the Yulin Guards in the name of inspecting the border towns.

However, what the court officials did not expect was that this time the Yulin Guard patrol did not go to Liaodong Town, where there had been frequent wars before, but instead headed towards Datong Town along the Zijingguan Pass.

You know, since the "Longqing tribute", because the imperial court has adopted the strategy of "fighting from the west to the east", compared with Ji Town and Liaodong Town, the towns in the west are much calmer. Therefore, for this feather, Lin Wei chose to patrol the west, and many officials were puzzled.

It's just that the Yulin Guards are a private army supported by the emperor's internal funds, and have never used half of the imperial court's silver. Therefore, even if these people have questions, it is not good to ask the little fat man, the emperor, who is growing in power.

"Sir, if Lao San can really drive away or even wipe out the bandits this time, can the court..."

Just when Wang Bing left the capital with the Yulin Guards, in the Qianqing Palace in the Forbidden City, the little fat man also looked expectantly at Zhang Juzheng, the only chief minister of the empire who knew the truth about this border patrol.

Obviously, for the land of the Loop, the little fat man was not willing to just let Yu Linwei go 'hunting' for a while.

"Your Majesty, please give me another ten years! After ten years, I will definitely accumulate enough financial and material resources for Your Majesty to help Your Majesty restore the territory of the Taizu period and become the leader of the ZTE!"

Facing the little fat man's knowing question, Zhang Juzheng did not answer directly, but asked the little fat man for ten years.

In fact, Zhang Juzheng, as the chief minister of the empire, was not clear about the importance of the Loop! It’s just that the current New Deal has just been fully rolled out in the two capitals and thirteen provinces, and the effect of this new deal has not really been revealed yet.

Therefore, even if the imperial court has had a slight financial surplus in the past few years, if it really wants to go through the Loop at this time, I am afraid that the imperial court will immediately return to the previous situation of being unable to make ends meet.

In fact, the emperor himself knew very well about the current financial situation of the imperial court. The reason why he still asked Zhang Juzheng was because he was really unwilling to do so.

"Sir, please get up quickly! In fact, I also know that now is not a good time to attack the Loop. But seeing that I have the strength to fight back but can't manage and defend it, I am really unwilling to do so, hehehe!"

Seeing Zhang Juzheng kneeling down and asking for another ten years to save money, the little fat man quickly helped him up.

"Your Majesty, if you want to fight against the outside world, you must first make peace at home! Once the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty are settled, we will naturally be able to deal with those foreign enemies. Please be patient for a few more years, Your Majesty."

Perhaps because he was worried that the little fat man would be too obsessed with martial arts, Zhang Juzheng lost no time in giving a few reminders.

"Haha, sir, please rest assured, I know the ways of civil and military affairs!"

…

"Third brother, why do we leave Altan headquarters alone and go to the Loop to 'hunt'?"

Just when Zhang Juzheng and the little fat man were discussing the matter of "taking control of the country first before fighting against the outside world", the generals such as Yu Linweizhong, Qi Panzong and Li Zunzu were also confused about this "hunting trap" trip.

You know, in February, Altan Khan, also known as Ananda Khan, had just died. So according to common sense, at this time, when the descendants of Altan Khan were leaderless due to the competition for the throne, it was the right time to send troops. great opportunity.

"Haha, the Altan tribe has been getting along quite harmoniously with the imperial court over the years. They can be considered 'familiar' after all. There is no need to beat them for the time being. So it is better to take advantage of the opportunity when they are unable to go west and attack those couches in Hetao.

Let’s clean up the enemy first!”

Speaking of which, the Or'ersi tribe in Hetao has been under the command of Ada Khan since the death of Mailigen Jinong. However, unlike the truly unified Altan tribe, this Or'ersi tribe has been divided due to various reasons.

The reason was divided into more than forty tribes, large and small.

Therefore, compared to a unified Altan tribe, the various Ordos tribes scattered in Hetao are more conducive to the Yulin Guards to defeat them individually.

And the most important thing is that at this time, the Altan tribe, which was busy competing for the throne, did not have the energy to take care of the Ordos tribes.

…

"Lao San, when are we going to leave the fortress?"

Having just arrived at Pianguan of Datong Town, Qi Panzong and other generals could not wait to ask Wang Bing about leaving the fortress.

"Haha, why are you in a hurry? You have to let the brothers rest for a few days. Once the brothers have recovered their spirits, we can go out and 'search for traps' again!"

Looking at Qi Panzong and others who looked anxious, Wang Bing smiled slightly and was not in a hurry.

"I said, Third Brother, we have been walking for a whole half a month this time! At this speed, there is no need for any rest? Can't we just leave the fortress and be done with it?"

Indeed, in terms of the training intensity of the Yulin Guards, it took half a month to march from the capital to Pianguan in Datong Town, which was not too easy at all.

Therefore, everyone was very puzzled by Wang Bing's behavior of letting the army rest, and they all directly started to call for battle, even Li Chengming, who was always in charge of logistics, was no exception.

"Haha, the so-called lion fights the rabbit with all his strength! What's more, the O'erduos tribe is scattered. We won't be able to wipe out all the enemies in one battle like last time. So brothers, let's try our best to be energetic.

Well, once you leave the customs, you won’t be able to come back in a day or two.”

Shaking his head, Wang Bing still firmly refused everyone's request to leave the border immediately.

"Then how are we going to fight this time? Should we divide our forces and attack together like last time?"

Seeing that the request to leave immediately was rejected, everyone had no choice but to ask about the strategy of this battle.

"Split the troops? Let's forget it for the time being. This time we will plow all the way through with 10,000 troops!"

After the battle to annihilate the Bahrain tribe two years ago, Wang Bing, who already knew the combat power of the Yulin Guards, did not plan to divide his troops to outflank him this time, but planned to fight these Tatars head-on.

push!

"Haha, what Lao San said is right. With the combat power of our Yulin Guards, there is no need to divide our forces and attack together. We can just go all the way!"

After hearing Wang Bing's flat promotion plan, the happiest person was Hu Dabiao, who was reduced to a "logistics team" during the last expedition to Bahrain.

Therefore, Hu Dabiao, who was afraid that he would not be able to win the battle again like last time, immediately loudly agreed with Wang Bing's plan as soon as Wang Bing finished speaking.

In fact, the reason why Wang Bing chose this least technical method of 'push' was not only because he was confident in the strength of the Habayashi Guards, but more importantly, he wanted to show off his 'muscles' to the 'tao bandits' occupying the Loop.

So as to achieve the purpose of killing the chicken to scare the monkey!
