Deep in the grassland, Prince Yi led his troops to run northwest desperately.

Prince Yi had already made plans to make the Korqin tribe a scapegoat. In fact, from the beginning, Prince Yi never thought that he and Korqin's coalition could fight against the forces of the Ming army and Ortai.

From this point of view, Prince Yi was very clear-headed. As early as when Liaodong decided to join the Mongolian and Korqin to join forces, Prince Yi had already made plans to make Korqin the pawn in his hand.

The facts were just as they were in the direction that Prince Yi thought. As expected, when Prince Yi and Korqin joined forces, the Ming army began to attack Mongolia, and there was also news that Ortai and Mongolian troops formed a coalition force in the west came.

Taking advantage of this change in the situation, Prince Yi seemed to have proposed a plan to move westward for Korqin. The so-called migration to west is naturally not as simple as Prince Yi and Nomonerhetu said. The real purpose is actually that Prince Yi uses this to escape from Liaodong and Mongolia, so that he has the opportunity to escape to the northwest and return to the Qing court.

Although something happened, that is, the change of the Korqin left-wing front banner, this incident not only did not hinder Prince Yi's plan. Instead, because of this change, the originally hesitant Nomonerhetu finally agreed to Prince Yi's suggestion and thus determined the plan for the westward migration.

This made Prince Yi overjoyed. As long as Korqin tied up his chariot and asked Korqin to open the passage for him, Prince Yi would be happy.

If Korqin could really be strong enough to directly break through the Ortai coalition forces and open the road to the west, then Prince Yi would be willing to take Korqin to travel west. No matter what, Korqin had the closest relationship with the Qing court among the Mongolian tribes, and his tribes had not weak power. It was a good thing that could be used by the Qing court in the northwest.

If it doesn't work, then Prince Yi will directly abandon Korqin and let Nomon Erhetu be his scapegoat, thereby using Korqin to complete his strategic detour.

Therefore, when it was confirmed that Korqin could not defeat Ortai's Mongolian coalition forces head-on, and the offensive of the Ming army in the East had already begun, Prince Yi's judgment was too late to leave. Therefore, Prince Yi's troops directly abandoned their allies when the war was fierce, and without hesitation left Korqin on the battlefield. They took advantage of the opportunity when Korqin and Ortai's Mongolian coalition forces could not escape, thus embarking on the road to the west.

I have to admit that Prince Yi is a cruel and vicious person. No one expected that his skills would have happened. After he realized that Prince Yi's tribe had entered the depths of the grassland and disappeared.

It is not so easy to travel across the entire grassland to reach the west. Even Prince Yi's tribe, who had already been prepared, now has war horses and abandons the baggage to move forward. It takes at least half a month to follow the distance.

In this half month, it is extremely difficult to replenish supplies. The soldiers only carry dry food and drinking water prepared in advance. It is okay to use these things for four or five days. If you save a little, you can last two more days, but it is impossible to rely on them until you reach your destination.

However, Prince Yi was not worried about these. Although the grasslands were different from the Central Plains, it was not easy to replenish supplies, because Ortai and the elite Mongolian tribes and Korqin battles, there were not many troops within Mongolia at present. In addition, Prince Yi was very familiar with the situation of the Mongolian tribes and had designed the route before departure. He made arrangements for the supply issue, that is, to directly plunder the small Mongolian tribes on the grasslands and use the cattle and sheep of these tribes to meet their needs.

This kind of combat method of taking enemies and offering oneself to oneself is actually commonly used by nomadic peoples. The Qing Dynasty was also a nomadic people naturally understood this. So on the third day after entering the depths of the grassland, Prince Yi's tribe searched a small tribe with more than 100 people. It was no problem to deal with such tribes. In just a short time, the entire tribe was almost killed by Prince Yi's troops, and their cattle and sheep became Prince Yi's supplies.

That night, Prince Yi slept peacefully in the Mongolian yurt after enjoying two young grassland girls who had pinched out water and were also frightened with gazes.

When the next day, Prince Yi's army continued to move west with the victory. When their troops gradually moved away, what were left were lifeless tribe wreckage, and the bodies that were directly discarded, including the two girls. Their eyes were no longer terrified, and instead they lost their lives. Their skin as white as milk was gray and purple-green, and their naked bodies were quietly lying on this grassland in a strange posture.

Sunrise, sunset.

In the evening, when the sun was about to set and the afterglow of the sunset was about to disappear, there were sounds of horse hooves not far from this dead camp.

Soon, dozens of Mongols rode to the tribal camp. When they saw the tragic situation in front of them, their faces turned pale and their fists were clenched.

"Quick! Go and report back to the master!" The leading Baihu rode a horse outside the camp and looked carefully, then decisively said to his subordinates: "This tribe was destroyed by them, and the traces left behind proved everything. They had been walking for about a day and were not too far from us."

The subordinate quickly turned his head and left quickly. After half an hour, a large area of ​​dust flew, and the main force arrived.

"Sir!" When the waiting Baihu saw the general coming, he hurried forward to salute.

"You must have done it? You won't admit your mistake?" the general asked directly.

"Sir, I'm sure, and I searched the camp and found this." Baihu replied, and at the same time handed over something in his hand.

The general took it and looked closely. This was a small bone flute. You could tell at a glance that only the Manchus in Liaodong had it. It was a product from the Jurchen tribes in the past. This thing was discovered by Baihu in a tent while searching for the camp. Perhaps it was accidentally dropped by Prince Yi and the others when they left.

"How many people died? Are there any living things?" the general asked, holding the bone flute.

Baihu shook his head with a sad look and said, "All the people in this tribe are dead. After counting, there were 125 people in total, none of them live, and they all died miserably."

Sighing, Baihu said again: "All the cattle and sheep in the tribe were killed. Except for the part that was discarded, the rest were taken away. Beizhi believed that this was what they used as military rations, and no horse was left behind."
