"The sky is vast and the wilderness is vast. The wind blows the grass and sees cattle and sheep."

Looking at the grassland in front of him, Zhu Cilang couldn't help but blurt out.

Inner Mongolia... Oh no, it should be called the southern Mo grassland at this time. The scenery here is indeed as magnificent and beautiful as Zhu Cilang imagined.

But this is also a place where people are lacking. The pastures between each tribe are at least dozens of miles apart. Even if a large number of scouts are sent to conduct net-style investigations in front of them, the army often can only discover two or three tribes in a day.

The spring breeze blew, and the earth that had just thawed was filled with the smell of grass. The horse's hooves stepped across the stream, and the cold stream water made the horses neigh.

Zhu Cixuan rode on the horse, thinking about the information provided by the staff this time.

The Chahar tribe came from Lin Dan Khan, the last great khan from Tatar Mongolia in the late Ming Dynasty.

Lin Danhan was once close to unifying Mongolia, but unfortunately he met the Qing Dynasty. Even with the support of the Ming Dynasty, Lin Danhan was still defeated by Huang Taiji and fled to Qinghai and died.

After Lin Dankhan's death, his son Ezhe led the remaining tribes of the Chahar tribe to surrender to Huang Taiji and was named Prince of Chahar.

A few years ago, Ezhe also died. His younger brother Abunai (naì) inherited the throne of Prince Chahar and was the current leader of the Chahar tribe.

After surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, the Chahar tribe's troops were dismantled and formed the Eight Banners with other Mongolian tribes.

However, with the identity of the descendants of the Golden Family and the remaining prestige of Lin Dankhan, Prince Chahar, who married Huangtaiji's daughter Makata, was still one of the most important leaders of Tatar Mongolia.

In addition to the Chahar tribe, another important tribe is the Korqin tribe.

The Korqin tribe was originally a minister of the Chahar tribe. In order to oppose Lin Dankhan's rule, the previous tribe leader, Oba, had already formed an alliance with Nurhaci during the Tianqi period and was named Tushetu Khan. From then on, he became independent from the Chahar tribe.

The leader of the Korchin tribe is now Badali, the son of Oba, and the sister of Badali is the Empress Dowager Da Yuer of the Qing Dynasty.

Among the so-called "Manchin-Mongolian-Mongolian" national policy of the Qing Dynasty, the Mongols benefited the most was the Korchin tribe.

These two tribes must be defeated in order to eliminate the influence of the Qing Dynasty on the grassland, and also allow the Ming Dynasty to free up its hands from Datong, Zhangjiakou and other places to concentrate on dealing with the Qing Dynasty in Liaodong.

With the sound of horse hooves, Li Dingguo came to Zhu Cixuan.

Li Dingguo reported to Zhu Cixuan: "Your Highness, among the prisoners you have captured, no one can tell the exact location of Chahar or the Korqin tribe yet."

The British Duke and Li Guozhen were responsible for the war in the direction of Shanhaiguan. The young Li Dingguo has now become the most trusted general around Zhu Cixuan.

Not no one expressed doubts about this, but with his outstanding talent, Li Dingguo quickly eliminated this doubt.

No matter where you are, people with ability always stand out. This is an irrefutable truth.

Zhu Cixuan laughed when he heard this: "It's okay, I already know their location."

While speaking, Zhu Cilang raised his head and looked at the northeastern direction.

There, two coordinates kept feeling a certain sense with Zhu Cilang.

Compared with the past, these two coordinates still have not changed at all.

This also made Zhu Ciyang feel a little curious. Did Prince Chahar Abunai and leader Badali, Korchin tribe, already know the news of the Ming army's attack?

They do know.

Abunai sat in the tent of the Chahar tribe and invited the newly arrived Badali.

Both of them are typical Mongolians, not tall, they are both short and fat, with thick beards on their faces, and their small eyes are full of shiny momentum. They have a certain momentum.

Abunai was around forty years old, and Badali was about four or five years older than Abunai.

Although he was a guest, Badali's performance was not reserved and even a little arrogant.

Badali said: "Prince Abunai, I just looked at it and found that your little daughter is very good. So I married my eldest son as a concubine. How about it?"

Upon hearing this, Abunai's face changed and he said in a deep voice: "Prince Badali, this is probably not good? After all, my daughter is also the daughter of a dignified prince, how can she be a concubine?"

Badali laughed and said, "What's wrong with this? My eldest son is destined to be the future Prince of Korqin. Your daughter will be a concubine in the future when she gets married. Isn't this a hundred times better than marrying others?"

Abunai snorted and said coldly: "Of course my daughter still wants to be the wife."

Badali slapped the table and said angrily: "What, Abunai, Abunai, you don't even want to sell me this face? It seems that I can only write a letter to Shengjing to let the Empress Dowager and His Majesty be fair."

When Abunai heard this, his face changed suddenly.

Who doesn’t know that Empress Dowager Da Yuer came from the Korqin tribe? If this incident really hit Shengjing, the result would inevitably be Badali.

After a moment, Abu Nai swallowed his anger and said, "Then let's do it, but the betrothal gift must be doubled!"

Badali got what he wanted and immediately laughed out loud and said, "This is simple, the betrothal gift will definitely not be missing from your Chahar tribe. Okay, I have enough wine today, so I will talk about anything tomorrow!"

After saying that, Badali walked out with swagger.

Abunai looked at Badali's back, his eyes flashed with fierce light, but in the end he just turned into a sigh.

As the son of Lin Danhan, Abunai was nominally the prince in the Qing Dynasty, but in fact he was always warned. How could he confront the Korqin tribe who had produced the Empress Dowager?

It’s not okay to give in.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps sounded, and a general Chahar walked in quickly.

"King, the news I just received was that the Ming Dynasty crown prince Zhu Cilang led nearly 50,000 cavalrymen who had left Zhangjiakou and headed north for several days. It was very likely that it was for us!"

Abunai was obviously surprised: "Ming people, come and beat us?"

Before he could reply, another general Chahar came in.

"General, Shengjing's will!"

Abunai took over this decree written by Dorgon and began to read it.

"...We need to actively confront the Ming army and strive to kill the Ming army's chief general?"

Abunai stared at the will in front of him and fell into deep thought.

A moment later, Abunai summoned several hard-core confidants to discuss matters.

At the beginning, what the confidants said was quite normal, nothing more than how to gather troops to confront the Ming army.

Suddenly, someone made a suggestion.
