Father can be an enemy to the country

The Greater Khingan Mountains, which stretches for more than 2,000 miles, and the fast and wide Xiliao River form a natural barrier that separates the Northeast from the Monan Grassland.

Horqin is their only way back to the northeast.

After a long time, Naha took out a long breath and said: "It seems that the Ming army is determined to keep me here this time."

"Alas..." The princes also sighed for a while. Not only were they unable to return to the Northeast, but they were also blocked at the door of their homes by the Ming army.

"Don't just sigh, tell us what to do." Naha sighed alone and didn't let others sigh.

"Lieutenant, we should now gather all our troops and return eastward to recover Horqin!" King Shen Huletu stood up and said loudly.

The current Beiyuan regime is like "little demons in temples, strong winds, and eight kings in shallow waters." There are eight kings just out of Naha. Everyone is a king, so other kings and their subordinates all call Nahachu by their official titles.

Before Naha could speak, the other princes shook their heads and said, "Isn't this nonsense? Why did the Ming army attack Qingzhou first? Isn't it just to prevent us from returning eastward?"

"That is, once we go out in full force, the Ming army in Qingzhou will definitely give us a blow from behind." King Ding Gaobasi Timur said loudly: "We bring our families, and there are so many animals. , I can’t even imagine what the scene would be like if we were attacked from both sides by the Ming army!”

"Don't forget that the main force of the Ming army has not yet taken action." Feng Wang Hong Boyan Timur added.

"But if we don't move now and wait until the main force of the Ming army is in place, we will have no chance of returning to Jinshan!" Huletu blushed at the rebuke and said with dissatisfaction on his face: "Rather than just sit back and wait for death, it is better to fight to the death."

"Then we have to take back Qingzhou first. We can't be attacked from both sides." King Ding also raised his voice and confronted him tit for tat.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing. Think about whether there is any other way first." Naha stopped the others angrily.

"Okay." Everyone began to rack their brains and imagine all possible ways out.

"How about we go north?" Someone suggested: "As long as we get to Hulunbuir, we can bypass the Xing'an Mountains and return to the northeast."

"No, no, let's not talk about how far it is, and you have to cross the desert first before you can get to Hulunbuir." But everyone shook their heads: "We have never entered the desert, maybe the entire army will be annihilated."

"Dong Quanguo, didn't you go to Mobei to pay tribute?" King Ding looked at Guan Tong, the Duke of Guoguo, who had thick eyebrows, big eyes and a high nose.

"Do you think we can make it out of the desert?"

"You can walk, but you need to be led by a guide from the imperial court, otherwise you will definitely not be able to find the water source." Guantong said solemnly: "Every time I go there, I follow the imperial envoys. When they want to find the water source, they will Blindfold us just so we don’t know the route through the desert.”

"Isn't that simple? Just ask the court to send someone to pick us up." King Feng said loudly.

His words drew a blank stare, but Huletu, who had a good relationship with him, answered him: "If we are willing to go to Mobei, why don't we wait until now?"

"Yes." King Zong also nodded and said, "I heard that Mobei is not at peace either. Yesudiel from the Oirat tribe has always been against the emperor. If we go there, we will inevitably be involved in the war."

"Well, you can't go north unless you have to." Izuku Naha nodded in agreement. He was the last person willing to go north.

Because once he defected to the Northern Yuan Dynasty, it was difficult for others to say, he would definitely not be able to be the boss, or even the second or third child.

"Then go west?" Someone else suggested.

"No, no, then we are getting further and further away from home?" Wujiyete tribe's Ten Thousand Household Fenghai Sa Nan, who represented the King of Liao at the meeting, replied. The first one disagreed. Their Wuliangha tribe would never do it. Agree to go west.

"Going west is really not an option. Xuanfu, Datong, Taiyuan, Ningxia, and Gansu are all important border defense towns of the Ming army. They can reach the grassland directly, and there is no safe place at all." King Ding also agreed.

"This won't work, that won't work, then just stay in Qingyun Mountain." Huletu said depressedly.

"Now it seems that this is the only way." Prince Zong agreed: "The foothills of Qingyun Mountain are high and densely forested, and there are natural dangers to defend. The Ming army would not dare to set foot there easily."

"That's true. If they dare to enter Qingyun Mountain, I will make sure they never come back!" Prince Shen also shouted.

"And spring has already begun. When the snow melts, the buds will grow. There will be no shortage of food for the cattle and sheep. We can live in the mountains forever." King Feng also supported: "The Ming army has to work hard for the expedition, and the logistics pressure is too great. It’s big, it will definitely not be enough for us.”

"Hmm, we can't just hide. We can also send elite cavalry to bypass Qingzhou and attack their transportation lines. As long as we kill a few waves of grain transport teams, they won't be able to stand it anymore." Even King Ding became more energetic. Son.

"I can see that you all want to stay in Qingyun Mountain." Naha touched his beard like a steel needle and said in a low voice: "Then it's up to you. Don't move for now. Let's see. Let’s look at the situation of the Ming army.”

"Yes." All the princes responded together: "Follow the Taiwei's order!"

"But Gaobasi Timur is right, we can't just retreat, we have to make the Ming army suffer." Naha said to him in a deep voice: "Let's do this, you and Hong Boyan Timur will lead the headquarters The soldiers and horses moved to Daqingshan, and we were at arm's length, watching each other."

He paused and then said: "When the opportunity is right, you can also quickly come out of the mountain and attack the Ming army's food road. After you succeed, you can hide in Daqing Mountain, and the Ming army will not dare to chase."

"Okay." The two Timurs looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

"As long as the Ming army runs out of food and retreats, it's time for us to counterattack!" Naha nodded with satisfaction and said in a deep voice to the princes:

"Everyone, you must put aside your selfish old grudges and unite as one! Only in this way can we survive this spring of crisis!"

"Yes!" The princes responded loudly, their morale boosted a lot, and they even clamored to leave all the Ming army on the grassland!

~~

Unfortunately, their ambition only lasted a few days before they were brought back to their original form. Because Azasili, Ta and Timur returned with the remaining troops.

Seeing that the Uuliangha people, who used to be the toughest and most belligerent, are now injured and dejected, the soul of the entire tribe has been shattered. It brought great shock to all the tribes in Qingyun Mountain.

The two tribes that were originally the largest were now no longer as big together as the original one. And there are no cattle, sheep, or carts in the team...

It was a total loss of both human and financial resources. How could it be so miserable?

"The Ming army is so ruthless." Looking at this scene, all the princes felt sad and even more afraid of the Ming army. When he turned around, he secretly told his men not to fight the Ming army unless absolutely necessary.
