In the spring of Shuozhou, wind and sand are the themes. The cold wind blows yellow sand, and ghosts cry and howls, the sky is dim and the earth is dark, and the sun and the moon are gone.

The seven or nine rivers are blooming, and the ** geese are coming.

Once the strong wind stops, people immediately feel the warmth of spring, muttering "The plan for one year lies in spring" and starting to plan a year's livelihood.

There is a group of people whose profession is to plan to break other people's livelihoods, such as Sheng Kunshan, who belong to this type of people.

Last winter, Ajige and Obai, together with Ordos, Tumote, and the four ministries of Lingbei, continued to move south, causing trouble to the three sides. Sheng Kunshan naturally thought about returning the favor twice.

The four tribes in the north of the Lingbei are far away from the desert. Shengkun Mountain is beyond reach, so they can only keep accounts first and then settle the accounts later. As for the Ordos tribe and the Tumote tribe, they are within a range of 400 miles. If they do not take revenge, Shengkun Mountain feels sorry for the tens of thousands of soldiers under their command and the people who support the soldiers.

However, throughout the winter, Shengkun Mountain has been attracting people but not causing any trouble because he is expanding his army rapidly.

Under the order of Lin Chunhong, Sheng Kunshan needed to expand the Cavalry Army into a legion with one cavalry army and two chariot and infantry troops within four months.

Also facing the expansion task were the Wuwei Army. Lin Chunhong and the Governor's Office fully considered the tactical innovation of the Wuwei Army, and agreed to Zhang Fengyi's request to approve the expansion of the Wuwei Army into a regiment with one cavalry army and two cavalry and infantry under their jurisdiction.

The cavalry and infantry army was actually learned from the Tartars. In the past, even if the Ming people knew that the cavalry and infantry could combine the advantages of cavalry and infantry, they could only sigh.

There is no other reason, no Mar.

However, since the Cavalry Army entered Shuozhou, this embarrassment has been fundamentally changed. Jingzhou not only personally protected tens of thousands of herders around Shuozhou, raising sheep and horses, but also collected war horses from the entire grassland with great enthusiasm. The number of war horses owned by the Jingzhou Army has increased rapidly, and the conditions have been given to the Wuwei Army's army with more than 30,000 war horses.

Later, the Longwu Army entered Qinzhou and opened up traffic with the Hexi Corridor and the Helan Mountain area. The speed of obtaining war horses was faster, and there was even conditions to allow a cavalry army under the Jinwu Army.

Thanks to the Governor's Office's expansion of the Wuwei Army and the Cavalry Army was progressing very smoothly.

After the expansion was completed, more than 40,000 fully armed Jingzhou soldiers gathered around the narrow Shuozhou area. Some keen people immediately felt that a large-scale military operation was about to be launched, and the front line of the Ming Dynasty Xuanda University will surely be in full swing.

Sure enough, Sheng Kunshan began to promote and urged to seek revenge on the Ordos tribe and Tumote tribe.

After hearing this news, the Governor of Xuanda Wang Jimo was on his back and was restless. He keenly realized that revenge on Sheng Kunshan was false, and that Tonghe Datong, Xuanfu, Shanxi's three generals, Zheng Jiadong, and Zuo Yi's troops were true. If Xuanda's army was wrapped by Sheng Kunshan and the troops were out of the border wall, the court would definitely know about Lin Chunhong's conspiracy to establish a joint agreement for the military. How angry would Wang Jimo face the court?

Wang Jimo immediately sent someone to Shuozhou to ask about the details of Shengkun Mountain's troops leaving the grassland. Shengkun Mountain did not disclose any of them, but only said that everything could be known at the Joint Office Meeting.

After receiving such an answer, Wang Jimo cursed: Damn, I clearly want to plot against me!

Sheng Kunshan was like this, and the three generals, Zheng Jiadong and Zuo Yi, made him even more annoyed. After the five people learned the rumors, they sent people to Wang Jimo, hoping that Wang Jimo would seize the opportunity and take the initiative to fight for ten years of safety on the front line of Xuanda, and build a great achievement that will never be easy forever.

This is tantamount to putting pressure on Wang Jimo to force Wang Jimo to agree to send troops.

Wang Jimo, who was attacked from left and right, tried hard to figure out how to protect himself. After thinking about it, he really thought of a move.

Wang Jimo immediately submitted a report to the court, saying that when Ajig withdrew his troops last year, he forcibly recruited tens of thousands of male men from the Ordos tribe and the Tumote tribe. The strength of the two divisions was greatly weakened. In order to solve the border problems of Xuanda once and for all, it is better to take the initiative to further weaken the strength of the two divisions.

After receiving Wang Jimo's memorial, Yang Sichang was shocked and was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

Yang Sichang was not a military layman. He knew very clearly that the front line of Xuanda was mainly infantry. If he wanted to go deep into the grassland to attack the Ordos division and the Tumote division, not only might he not even see the shadow of the two divisions, but he might even be able to be plagiarized on a large scale by the cavalry of the two divisions and fall into annihilation of the entire army.

Never allow it! This is Yang Sichang's first reaction.

However, Yang Sichang thought again and thought that Wang Jimo was not a fool, why did he have such stupid thoughts? He immediately ordered the Ministry of War to retrieve information from the front line of Xuanda, and then he realized: it turned out that the expansion of the Cavalry and the Wuwei Army was completed, and he was preparing to go out of the grassland to take action against the Ordos and Tumote Army!

From this point of view, Wang Jimo should have wanted to use the Jingzhou army to go to war, and to make some military achievements, and to establish authority in the Xuan army.

Yang Sichang was not sure and immediately ordered Wang Jimo to report the combat target, combat scale and combat plan.

After receiving Yang Sichang's order, Wang Jimo was overjoyed and immediately sent someone to urge Sheng Kunshan to hold a joint military delegation meeting immediately.

Sheng Kunshan was quite confused and didn't know what was selling Wang Jimo's gourd. He happened to have made all preparations. With absolute strength, he was not afraid of Wang Jimo's tricks. So he immediately held a joint military signing meeting in Datong as Wang Jimo asked.

This meeting was the highest-level one in history. Not only Yang Guozhu, Xu Dingguo, Wang Pu, Zheng Jiadong and Zuo Yi all attended, but even Wang Jimo attended the meeting in person.

Wang Jimo attended the meeting in person, but he could not change the fact that Sheng Kunshan led the meeting. Given that the strength of the Ordos army and the Tumote army had already declined, the combat plan formulated by Sheng Kunshan was very simple: Zhang Fengyi led the Wuwei Army and Zheng Jiadong army to Baode and Fugu, constantly squeezed the Ordos troops northwest until they squeezed the Ordos troops out of Yinshan; Sheng Kunshan led the Cavalry Army and the Zuozhi army to Helinger, captured Sanniangzi City (now Hohhot), and squeezed the Tumote army from east to west until they were all expelled from Qingshan, and finally met with Zhang Fengyi in Yinshan.

As for Wang Jimo, he led Wang Pu, Yang Guozhu and Xu Dingguo to leave Liangcheng to block the Jingzhou army's retreat and ready to support the battle at any time.

Before Sheng Kunshan could finish his words, Wang Jimo immediately frowned and thought.

Although he lacked practical experience, he had never eaten pork and had seen pigs running. He knew that due to the strong mobility of nomadic peoples and the vast distribution area, it was difficult for the Central Plains army to garrison. Generally, when the Central Plains army attacked the grassland, it must implement measures to reduce the war potential of nomadic peoples, such as burning grass, plundering cattle, sheep, and fighting horses, and killing living forces.

Now Sheng Kunshan is talking about rushing to the point of fighting against the Mongols without saying a word. Does Sheng Kunshan think that the grassland is like the Central Plains, and only needs to conquer cities and territories?

Wang Jimo originally wanted to remind Sheng Kunshan, but then he thought that if Sheng Kunshan really failed because he did not understand the grassland, one would be the court that was happy about it, and the other would be the opportunity to remove the shackles on his head. Anyway, he led Xuanda's army to support him. In the event that the front line was not good, at least he would immediately retract back to the side wall.

Therefore, Wang Jimo didn't say a word, but just stared at the map and pretended to be careful.

As for Wang Pu, Yang Guozhu and Xu Dingguo's three generals, seeing that the task was so simple and relaxed, they were very enthusiastic, and they had no intention of opposing it.

Zuo Yi had experienced the battlefield and knew strategy well. He asked in a serious tone: "Is Sheng Shuai ready to stay in Yinshan and Qingshan for a long time?"

Sheng Kunshan shook his head and said, "If tens of thousands of troops are to be stationed in the desert for a long time, he must drag down the Xuanda line. Wait until the three cities of Sanniangzi City, Lucheng (now Baotou), and Hucheng (now Bayannur) are built, most of the troops will return to Xuanda."

Zuo Yi concentrating on his mind for a moment, nodded slowly, and said, "It's so good."

Sheng Kunshan smiled and said, "Is General Zuo interested in garrisoning the three cities? If he really wants, the three cities will choose one city to garrison with the general?"

Without waiting for Zuo Yi to answer, Sheng Kunshan turned to Zheng Jiadong and said, "If General Zheng is interested, he can also choose a city at will!"

Zheng Jiadong has always respected Zuo Yi and turned his attention to Zuo Yi.

Sheng Kunshan openly won over Zheng Jiadong and Zuo Yi. Wang Jimo couldn't bear it and was unwilling to have conflicts with Sheng Kunshan. He just kept cursing the Jingzhou army in his heart: Build a city? And build three in one breath! Is this guy building a city to build a house? It would be better to drag you to death!

Zuo Yi was really moved when he heard this. He just thought deeper and felt that the task of defending the city was very difficult: Shuozhou is very far away from the three cities, and once the Mongols return, the Jingzhou army will definitely not have time to support it; in addition, the Ordos tribes are numerous and the power is quite powerful. In addition, the Tumote tribe organized 50,000 or 60,000 cavalry, which was extremely relaxed. His five or six thousand troops were not enough for the Mongols to get stuck in the teeth.

Therefore, Zuo Yi replied carefully: "There are many winds and sandstorms on the grasslands, and I am not used to it. Please ask Sheng Shuai to choose another talent."

Seeing Zuo Yi expressing his opinion, Zheng Jiadong also quickly said, "Brother Zuo doesn't go, I won't go either."

Sheng Kunshan laughed and said, "This matter is left to be discussed in the future. I believe you will be moved!"

After saying that, Sheng Kunshan was full of passion and slapped the map with a palm, and said loudly: "During the Han Dynasty, Huo Qubing pursued the Huns and sealed the wolf's servants; during the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing attacked Yinshan at night and defeated the Turkic rebels; during the Taizu period, the Duke of Wei rushed to the north and beat the Northern Yuan Dynasty to the chaos... The achievements of the ancients must not be looked up to and must be surpassed!"

"Making achievements and being admired by future generations, starting from fighting in Yinshan and Qingshan!"

After saying this, Zhang Fengyi, Zheng Jiadong, and Zuo Yi were so excited that even Wang Pu and the other two were quite touched.

Zuo Yi even regretted it a little: A real man will die if he dies, why did he just look forward to the three cities stationed in the city?

Only Wang Jimo was quite disdainful and muttered to himself: Let’s talk about it if you have the fate to come back!
