Chapter 125 The Name of Arsileng

Chapter 125 The Name of Arsileng
The sun quietly disappeared below the horizon.
The remaining sunset glow on the horizon was like a fiery red silk, which was gradually swallowed up by the deep blue sky.

The stars began to twinkle in the sky, like pearls scattered carelessly.
One after another, until the entire night sky was filled.

In the southern battlefield of the Harazhang camp, fierce fighting continued.

The number of troops deployed by the Ming army has increased from 30,000 at the beginning to 50,000 today.

Two thousand men formed a formation, and twenty-five square formations advanced continuously without stopping.
Even the stars in the sky felt the determination of the Ming army.

On the east and west sides of the Halazhang camp, soldiers and civilians on the grain roads also worked non-stop.
Transporting military supplies, food, and weapons to the rear,
The camp has been preliminarily built and some defensive fortifications have been erected.

Zhang Yi, the Marquis of Heqing, who was the general of the front army, was not in the newly built camp at this moment.
Instead, he was waiting anxiously on the east side of the Harazhan camp, where Lu Yunyi was.

At this moment, five thousand soldiers were already ready.
Not far from the military camp, some siege equipment was ready.
If negotiations with the soldiers in the Harazhan camp fail, a strong attack must be launched to relieve the pressure on the front battlefield.

If we fail to capture them, we may have no choice but to attack them from both sides and exhaust them to death.

At this moment, Heqing Marquis Zhang Yi stood on the side of the grain road, holding a telescope borrowed from the front army in his hand, staring at the camp at the end of the gentle slope in front of him.

On one side, Lu Yunyi stood in front of a sand table, which showed the scene inside the Harazhang camp.

This was drawn through negotiations with all parties and captured prisoners.

Combined with the hillside map drawn by Wang Shen, the maximum restoration was made.

On this sand table, you can even see some of the terrain inside the camp!
This is especially important in battle.

Xu Zengshou was also there, even though he couldn't understand.

Trying but still staring, taking it all in,
At this time, Heqing Marquis Zhang Yi put down the telescope,

Looking up at the sky, the moon has risen and the sky is gray and dotted with stars.

He quickly walked to the side of the sand table and looked at Lu Yunyi with a serious expression:

“Boy, can this grassland man really come out?

"Halazhang is known to be a tough guy. Even Usar Khan couldn't do anything to him during the Northern Yuan Dynasty."

Lu Yunyi raised his head and smiled:
"Lord Heqing, Harazhang is a tough guy.
But his soldiers were not.
The general's fierce attack in the south has lasted for three days and two nights.

Even if Halazhan can hold on, his soldiers can't hold on."

Seeing that he still looked suspicious, Lu Yunyi smiled calmly.
He took out a document and handed it over:

"Lord Heqing, this is the allocation of food and fodder for the Northern Yuan Dynasty's migration from the grassland quartermaster.
The Kharajang tribe, which was the vanguard, did not carry much food and fodder.

The items they carried were mainly weapons and treasures from various departments.

Most of the food and fodder were in the central army, and we seized them all.

If I am not mistaken, the reason why the Harazhang has been able to survive these days is because of the killing of horses. "

Hearing this, a trace of heartache flashed across Heqing Marquis Zhang Yi's face, and he said with emotion:
"What a pity! They were all good horses from the grassland, but they were eaten alive by them.

You don't know, when I was conquering Shaanxi with the general,

The entire army has only about 5,000 horses, which are very valuable.

Things are different now, you young people have come at a good time."

Heqing Marquis Zhang Yi had a rough appearance, was tall and strong,

It was rumored in the army that he had a bad temper.

So the general always placed it in the vanguard army.

But after Lu Yunyi came into contact with him, he found that Heqing Hou Zhang Yi was a rough but meticulous person with a delicate mind.
Rather than getting along with others, it feels more like getting along with elders at home, without so many restrictions.

Lu Yunyi also understood the deep meaning behind this.

He may have been trained by Lan Yu's confidants as the next generation successor.

There are often many such successors, and only the most outstanding ones can gain their support.

And now, among the army,

There is no doubt that he showed the best ability.

Like General Lan Yu in the past, he also received the favor of many military officials.

Lu Yunyi took a deep breath, took out the offensive strategy he had prepared earlier, and handed it over.

"Lord Heqing, this is the battle plan I have prepared.
If the people inside still refuse to repent, we can only try to attack by force."

Heqing Marquis Zhang Yi took over the battle plan and began to praise it before he even read it.
He pointed to the grain road and the earthen fort not far away:
"I have read Liangdao's battle plan. You did an excellent job. It couldn't be better.

I have proposed to the general,
If there is such a short distance of food and grass transportation in the future,

And when facing enemy attacks, you must use your method of dividing the troops.

Look at it now, with only two thousand soldiers, we can guard the food route of more than ten miles without leaking anything.
It also allows the soldiers to have plenty of time to rest.
Much better than those brats under my command."

As He Qinghou spoke, he opened the battle plan, frowned, and looked at Lu Yunyi with some surprise:
"Have the defenders on the west side agreed to let us in?"

Lu Yunyi looked solemn and nodded:

"But the terrain on the west side is not good, and only about a hundred people can pass through.

And they cannot carry war horses or large weapons.
So, that place can only be used to circumvent the enemy.
It would cause some trouble to Harazhang, but it would not affect the war situation.

The real attack site is still on the east side.

The gentle slope in front of us is enough for two thousand war horses to charge!
Once the two thousand cavalry charge into the Kharajang camp, the outcome of this battle will be decided."

Heqing Marquis Zhang Yi looked solemn, nodded vigorously, and continued to watch.

The more he looked at it, the more frightened he became. He was obsessed with every detail of the battle plan.

The situation is so strict that each general flag team has its own combat mission.

"Yes, but this strategy places strict demands on officers at all levels. Can your soldiers complete it?"

Lu Yunyi looked solemn and nodded vigorously:

"Reporting to the Marquis, the officers under my command want to become centurions and general flags.

Not only must one have sufficient merits and be brave in battle, but one must also be able to read and write.

At least they can understand the military strategies that my subordinates talk about.

With the help of the trumpet, we can complete our respective military duties in every detail."

Heqing Marquis Zhang Yi nodded slightly:
"General Xu Da had mentioned this when he was alive, looking for some scholars from the Imperial Academy to join the army.
Let them serve as commanders at all levels, so that military orders can be carried out smoothly.

But those scholars were too proud to associate with us, so we dropped the matter."

Lu Yunyi smiled and said, "My Lord, there are clerks in the army who teach soldiers to read and write.
If scholars don’t want to associate with us, we will cultivate ourselves. It is better to rely on ourselves than to ask others for help.”

A smile broke out on Heqing Hou's slightly dry cheeks, revealing the fresh red flesh underneath:

"Hahahaha, the general thought so too.
We should even implement this method throughout the army to make more military officers literate.”

“This is the right way.”

Xu Zengshou stared at this scene with wide eyes, and suddenly felt
Lord Lu seems to be very good at making friends and has a good relationship with the military marquises.

Although he was acquainted with all these military officers, there was always some distance and awkwardness between them.

Just as Xu Zengshou was thinking about how to ask Lord Lu,

There was a sudden movement in the camp on the gentle slope.

I saw that the tightly intertwined fortifications were moved away little by little, revealing the bright lights inside!
Heqing Marquis Zhang Yi suddenly put the telescope in front of his eyes, opened his mouth slightly,

Soon he showed excitement: "They came out, some people came out, ten people!"

The sound of brisk horse hooves came from above.
More than ten people rushed out, holding a white flag that was waving slightly.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yunyi opened his mouth slightly. It actually worked.

It seems that the pressure from the southern front has caused dissatisfaction among many soldiers in the Halazhang camp.

Lu Yunyi waved his hand gently, and more than a hundred soldiers around him raised their longbows.
The muzzle of the gun behind him was also slightly raised, ready. If these ten people were cheating, they would be killed first.

But seeing the white flags in their hands waving more and more violently,
A smile appeared on Lu Yunyi's lips.

Heqing Marquis Zhang Yi couldn't stop smiling at one side.
He had fought for twenty years and knew that once he began to surrender,
Once the hole in the heart is opened, it will be like mercury pouring out, unstoppable.

Heqing Marquis Zhang Yi glanced at Lu Yunyi and said:

"You go."

what?
Lu Yunyi's eyes widened slightly.
The general asked Marquis Heqing to come here just to discuss business.

As a former military commander, what can he do?

"Let's be bold. The fate of the Kharajang camp is already determined.

As a young man, you should accumulate more merits.
For us old guys, too much merit will bring disaster, so go away quickly!"

He Qinghou urged, folding his hands.

Lu Yunyi curled his lips. This merit seemed to have the ability to reproduce. The more flowers bloomed, the more they grew! !
Lu Yunyi turned over and rode on his warhorse, and went forward with Xu Zengshou and more than ten subordinates.

When the people on the opposite side saw Lu Yunyi, they were startled at first, and then their pupils suddenly contracted:

"Your Highness Arsleng!"

Lu Yunyi smiled lightly and nodded.

Only some important figures in the Central Army Royal Court knew his true identity.

These Kharajang soldiers still believed that he was Arisleng, the Taiji of the Naiman tribe.

"How come you joined the Ming army?"

Lu Yunyi nodded gently:
"The princess is in the army now. I followed her orders and came here to save more of my fellow grassland people from the suffering of war."

"Great!" The leader said excitedly,

"Your Highness Arsleng, I am Agula, a captain of the Imperial Household Department.
After Grand Master Halazhang transferred his son to the front battlefield, I was responsible for the defense of the east and west sides of the camp."

"Oh? Grand Master Harazhang's biological son has already gone to the southern front?"

A trace of fear flashed in Agula's eyes:
"The Ming's offensive was too fierce. There are not many soldiers left in the army who can fight. We may be defeated in the next few days."

Lu Yunyi's eyes flashed with understanding.
No wonder it was accomplished so easily, it turned out that Halazhang could no longer bear it.

He smiled gently and said in an extremely firm voice:

"Since the camp is about to be breached, there is no need to incur more casualties. The sooner the fighting is stopped,
The damage to the people of the grassland will be less,
You are wise and heroes of the grassland people. When can we enter the camp?"

When the other party is hesitant, skip the tug-of-war process.

Assuming the other party's consent will achieve unexpected results, which is a form of psychological suggestion and expectation management.

This is the method Liu Heiying uses to deal with mature women, and he says it works every time.

Agula looked solemn. He looked at his colleagues around him and nodded slightly. Then he looked at Lu Yunyi and said loudly:

"Your Highness Arsleng, I hope the Ming people can keep their promise.

Give the people of the grassland a place to live and let them become enlightened people. "

"I am a Ming soldier, and I have two thousand Ming soldiers under my command." Lu Yunyi said concisely.

A hint of joy flashed in Agula's eyes. It seemed that the Ming army treated the surrendered generals from the grassland with great courtesy.

Agula continued in a deep voice:

"Your Highness, you can follow me into the camp now.

Now the front army is fighting, and people in the camp are cooking.

Most of the people are waiting for today's meal in the central army, and there are not many obstacles around."

A look of joy flashed in Lu Yunyi's eyes:
"Go back and open the camp, and I will gather the troops.

And tell the princess this, your name is Agula, I remember you,
I will report your achievements and yours to the princess truthfully."

Lu Yunyi looked at the dozen or so riders behind him. Among them was the centurion who was leaving the camp today.
Lu Yunyi ignored the joy in Agula's eyes and continued:

"Their names will appear in the list of heroes.
Agula, you need to prepare the list and don't disappoint the Ming Kingdom and the princess."

After these words were spoken, Agula could no longer conceal the joy on his face.

With this list at his disposal,

Then a large number of followers will gather around him to accomplish this task together.

"Go ahead and open the tent quickly."

"Yes, Your Highness Arsleng."

More than ten riders returned quickly, more anxious than when they came!

The group looked at their backs with serious expressions.

At this moment, Xu Zengshou was filled with admiration!
Lord Lu can not only command the Ming army, but also the grassland people. This is so... so cool.

Lu Yunyi turned his horse around, his face extremely solemn, and ordered in a cold voice:
"Order the entire army to get ready. After entering the camp and confirming there is no ambush, act according to the strategy!"

"Report this matter to the general and the other military officers!"

"Order the soldiers and civilians to temporarily stop transporting military supplies and take shelter in the earthen forts."

After saying this, he rode his warhorse to Heqing Marquis Zhang Yi and said loudly:

"Lord Heqing, the people of the grassland have agreed to open the military camp. Our troops can enter at ease."

"Okay!" Heqing Marquis Zhang Yi asked with a blazing gaze:
"What conditions did you promise to the grassland people?"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Zengshou's face suddenly turned strange.

He had thought about it carefully, and it seemed that he had agreed to nothing, so the grassland people left happily.

Lu Yunyi told what had just happened.

Heqing Marquis Zhang Yi's expression became increasingly bewildered, and finally he burst into laughter:
"Good, good, good! Arsleng is indeed worthy of his reputation, and is well-known among the grassland people!"

The list of promises was a move to split the internal forces, so naturally he could not hide it.
As for some of the grassland people who resisted, the Ming army did not need to make any efforts.

Agula and the people on the list will help them solve it.

Taking a deep breath, Heqing Marquis Zhang Yi ordered:

"Lu Yunyi, you will be the vanguard in this battle.

Lead the vanguard scouts into the camp and defeat the enemy, and I will be behind you to support you!"

The intention of supporting him has been made clear.

At this time in the Harazhan camp, the military merit was almost enough, if not picked up.

"Yes!"

Heqing Marquis Zhang Yi came closer and said in a low voice:

"Don't worry about Yu Tongyuan. I've been displeased with him for a long time.
You always rest on your laurels, taking credit for yourself, and causing us a lot of trouble in Beijing. Well done."

Lu Yunyi's eyes widened slightly, and some doubts in his heart disappeared in an instant.

For some reason, he suddenly remembered something his father said when he was in the army.

“Don’t be afraid of making enemies. When you have enemies, you will naturally have friends because you have a common enemy.”

And now, Heqing Marquis Zhang Yi is Yu Tongyuan's enemy and Lu Yunyi's friend.

After calming down his breathing, Lu Yunyi's face became serious:
"Thank you, Lord Marquis."

"Okay, let's go."
