A few years ago, the Zhou army occupied Hetao, and Wu Sangui recruited the people, established four garrisons, and developed the Hetao land.

With the reclaim of the troops, the Zhou State obtained millions of acres of fertile land in Hetao, and Hetao also became the main grain-producing area of ​​Zhou State.

In the early morning, it rained all night and finally stopped.

The clouds in the sky become thinner and lighter, white mist covers the grassland, and water accumulates on the ground to form puddles.

At this time, the horse's hooves stepped into the puddle, mud and water splashed everywhere, and the Mongolian cavalry came from the north roaring.

A village appeared in front of him, with hundreds of earthen houses arranged neatly.

The cavalry roared into the village, but there was no life inside. Every household had its doors open, but no one was there.

Prince Korqin saw this rarely and couldn't help but frown, "Why is it another empty village? Where are the people going?"

The Mongolian cavalry was ordered to bypass Guihua City and raid Houtao from the north. The Zhou Kingdom's settlement area was reclaimed, but the army went south and came all the way, but found that the Zhou army's settlement was empty, and no one was in the village, and no one sowed the land they had cultivated.

"Prince! The house is covered with dust, and the fields are panicked. People should have been away for several months." A Mongolian general said in a deep voice.

A few months ago, Hong Chengchou ordered some troops in the Hetao area to move to the Western Regions.

At that time, the people who were drawn from Guanzhong to immigrate to the Western Regions were likely to expose their intentions and cause panic, and would be subject to fierce opposition from the local wealthy families in Guanzhong. Therefore, Hong Chengchou took his ideas to the Hetao Tunjun.

Hetao is far away from Guanzhong, and it is inconvenient for communication. It is all garrisons of the government. It is convenient to mobilize and will not attract the attention of Guanzhong.

Therefore, since the beginning of the year, Hong Chengchou secretly transferred the troops from Hetao to the Western Regions. The Ming Dynasty's attention was mainly in the pass and did not pay attention to Hetao, so he did not know that most of the troops had been withdrawn.

Cha rarely saw this, and said, "Continue to go south!"

The cavalry continued to run south. When only fifty miles away from the Yellow River, a dense tent finally appeared in front of them. Some Mongolians from the Ordos tribe were untiing the flock to grazing.

Cha Qian saw this and was overjoyed. He hurriedly pulled out his scimitar and roared loudly: "Kill me!"

The roar broke the tranquility, and the Mongolian cavalry divided into teams and surrounded them from all directions.

After the Zhou army conquered the Mongolian tribes in the Hetao area, they pulled out the teeth of the Mongolian tribes. The elite Mongolian soldiers were incorporated into the Zhou army, leaving only a group of old and weak left behind.

The sudden change woke the tribe up. The tribe men got on their horses and took up their weapons to fight, but they were far from the opponent of the elite cavalry. They were shot down and dropped from the horse while galloping, and were slashed by a scimitar during the hedge.

In the camp, outside a large tent, more than ten Mongolians hurriedly helped a young man onto a horse, "Young Chief, go quickly!"

At this time, Chahan's cavalry had already rushed into the camp. The Mongolians slapped the young horse's buttocks. When they saw the war horses rushing out, they hurriedly pulled their horses back and met the rushing enemy.

Several sharp arrows shot in, hitting the horse's head, and the war horse fell down. The Mongols also rolled to the ground and were surrounded by Chahan's cavalry.

In a moment, the camp was captured by Chahan. Except for a very small number of herders who were used to being managed, the rest of them kneeled down and surrendered.

When the Zhou army conquered Hetao, Wu Sangui led his troops to attack the Mongolians of Ordos in Houtao, while Jiang Xiang sneaked into Tumot Mongolia in Guihua City.

After the war, the Zhou court occupied the Houtra, while Jiang Xiang occupied the naturalization, and renamed the naturalization Yunzhong, and appointed the Yunzhong Jiedushi.

The front and back condoms were not subordinate to each other and each lived their own lives. However, a month ago, Wu Sangui suddenly issued an order to add Jiang Xiang to King of Jin, and gave Hetao and Henan to Jiang Xiang.

After the Battle of Guanzhong, Jiang Xiang was demoted from King Yi to Prince and ruled Hedong. Although Hedong was still called King Jin, the Ming Dynasty also called Jiang Xiang the King of Jin and the Zhou army in Hedong was the Jin army, but the Zhou State official did not recognize it after all.

Now Wu Sangui is the King of Zhou, and the appointment of Jiang Xiang as King of Jin is almost equal.

Although Jiang Xiang knew that Wu Sangui was not kind, he just hoped that the Jin army could help him resist the Ming Dynasty's attack, Jiang Xiang still accepted it happily.

After all, whether it is fighting against the Ming Dynasty or surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, the territory is larger and the status is higher, it is not a bad thing for him.

If the Ming Dynasty could not give a treaty that Jiang Xiang was satisfied with, Jiang Xiang and Wu Sangui stood aside to fight against the strong Ming Dynasty together, and could gain more territory and undoubtedly increase the strength of the Jin army.

If you decide to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty and occupy Hedong, Luoyang and Hetao, it will undoubtedly increase Jiang Xiang's bargaining chips and capital.

Faced with Wu Sangui's enthronement, Jiang Xiang only thought that it was a compromise made by Wu Sangui to win him over after the fall of Sichuan, so he happily accepted it.

After receiving the enthronement, Jiang Xiang sent his brother Jiang Rang to Luoyang, and his brother Jiang Xuan took over the back of the trap.

In the city of Guihua, the governor of Yunzhong was furious when he saw Jiang Xuan and received the news that the Mongols had raided after the raid.

Over the years, the Mongols, who were originally regarded as beasts, have become lambs in the eyes of the Jiang family.

In the past, they were all Mongols who went south from time to time to plunder. In recent years, they have turned around. They were replaced by the Ming army, Zhou army, and Jin army went out to the frontier to rob the Mongolians and rob some cattle, sheep and horses.

Jiang Xuan was stationed in naturalized and has often fought with Chahar and Tushetu troops in recent years. The Jin army relied on its excellent armor and sharp muskets. It can be said that it won more than it loses less, and it took a lot of advantages.

Therefore, the Jin army stationed outside the Great Wall gradually changed its strategy of relying on the Great Wall to defend, and took the initiative to attack, so that the Mongols did not dare to invade the Hetao area.

After all, Hetao is outside the Great Wall and has no protection. If the Mongols come to rob each other from time to time, they will not be at ease whether they are farming or grazing.

With the proactive attacks of the Jin army and the Zhou army, the Mongols have been relatively honest in recent years and dare not take the initiative to start a war.

At this time, Jiang Xuan was furious when he heard that Mongolia in the north of Mobei dared to attack Hetao.

Just as the Chahan cavalry came out in all directions and attacked Houtao, the gate of Guihua City opened wide, and three thousand Jin cavalry rushed out of the city, horses' hooves were like thunder and dust were flying. Looking at Houtao, they rushed forward.

The Mongols actually dared to take the initiative to attack, and they had to destroy their arrogance, otherwise the Hetao area would not be peaceful.

Jiang Xuan led the cavalry to gallop, and shortly after he left, 20,000 Ming cavalry rushed over and took advantage of the opportunity to capture Guihua City.

After Wu Sangui sealed the Hou's trap to the Jiang family, the Zhou army retreated back to Guanzhong, so the Hou's forces were empty. Before Jiang Xuan had time to accept the Hou's trap, he did not send a garrison.

This made Jiang Xuan feel a little anxious. When he was about to gallop through a forest, a roar of cannon suddenly came out, and thousands of Ming troops broke out on both sides.
