Chapter 980: Thick Smoke
The earth was not quiet. The sound of the wind was filled with the sound of horse hooves, shouts, and the noise of various drums and trumpets. But when Adai Khan rode up to a high ground, he stood for a while and felt that the world seemed to be shrouded in a kind of emptiness. Perhaps it was because the gently undulating earth was too vast, and countless people in it were as light as ants.
Adai Khan had talked a lot with his subordinates before, but now he spoke very little. Many complicated thoughts suddenly disappeared at this moment, and he just looked at the battlefield intently.
The Ming army's baggage train was very large, and it was arranged on the ground in the shape of a long dragon, stretching very long, with no end in sight, as if it divided the entire land into two sides. The long dragon was filled with smoke, and the crowd in the distance was hazy. There might be 20,000 or 30,000 people, or 30,000 or 40,000 people. Adai Khan could not estimate it jus

Along the continuous mountainous area that was high in the west and low in the east, the Mongolian cavalry found a camp on the second day. It was the destroyed camp.Ashari followed her elder brother's Asut cavalry and arrived here. She saw a charred and messy scene. The wood on the tents and vehicles had not yet burned out, and smoke was curling in the embers. The air was filled with a special smell of burnt meat, but she didn't know whether it was cattle, sheep, or human corpses in the ashes.Many of the survivors were women, who were dirty and black, with dull faces, searching the abandoned camp, seemingly trying to find the remaining useful things. The Ming army probably thought that women could not fight, so they did not kill them.Asari wore a black headscarf under her copper hat, revealing only a pair of deep eyes. She rode slowly along the abandoned camp. A hoarse cry made her look sideways, and she saw a woman sitting on the ground, holding the body

The horse battle lasted until dusk. The allied forces of the tribes, with at least several times more troops than the enemy, still failed to drive the Ming cavalry out of the battlefield. Dead and wounded people and horses were scattered all over the valley.After both sides withdrew their troops, the Ming army finally stopped pursuing the Mongolian army the next morning. They had limited manpower and horses, and they were probably unable to continue to pursue the Mongolian army for the time being.At this time, there were leaders in the Khan's army who hoped that the Khan would gather cavalry to fight the Ming army. After all, the elite troops of the coalition forces had not been seriously injured so far and could still fight.But Adai Khan did not agree. He only said, "Even the most experienced hunter may get nothing after waiting for a long time and walking a long way."Alutai did not advocate continuing the war. He only needed to take one look at t
Game of the Throne Chapter 983: Tacit Understanding
Within a few days, Alutai had already felt that the surrounding terrain had changed significantly. The endless mountains were gone, and there were only some small hillsides around.There were countless hillsides like this, and even if people reached the high ground, they could not see the end. Apart from the troops on the march, there was no human habitation around, and the scene was completely desolate.In such a peaceful land, it is easy to forget that the Tatars are in danger.Alutai stopped his horse on the hillside for a while, thinking about the battle again. He suddenly remembered that the Ming court had sent the Minister of Justice to Liaodong to eliminate many spies; this might be the biggest reason why Adai Khan was deceived and mistakenly attacked the Ming army's baggage camp.At that time, there were not only some Mongols from the Wuliangha tribes in Liaodong, but also some connections with the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynas

The soldiers who returned to the guard station were dismissed and divided into several routes to go south. Some people are going to Shenyang and Liaoyang; a few people are going to Daning City in the west, which belongs to the original garrison of Daning Dusi. The military attaches will receive an official document, and when they arrive at a place with an official post station, they can eat, live and replenish their horses' food and grass for free there.Sun Yonger was supposed to go to Shenyang Zuowei, but the starting camp was on the west side of the Liao River, closer to Daning City. He asked for leave from Baihu and wanted to follow the brothers from Daning southward to pick up his family first.After dark, he went to see Zhou Yuanzhong, the superior of Jinyiwei, to say hello and inform him of his whereabouts.Jinyiwei is one of the emperor's personal guards. It is a military position in the Beijing camp, but Zhou Yuanzhong is based in Daning this time a
Game of the Throne Chapter 985: Coming and Going
The Tatar envoy, Asari and others, escorted by Ming cavalry, have arrived at the distant capital of the Ming Dynasty.The envoys were arranged to stay in a place called Huitongguan. They will attend a dismounting banquet hosted by Ming officials within three days before discussing business.As Aluta said, the Tatar envoys did not need to worry about their safety. It did not matter whether the officials in the capital were hostile to or hated the Tatars. They had their own complicated rules and would only handle everything according to experience and habit. Moreover, there were envoys from many other countries in the Huitong Hall, and they were all received according to the same rules.As soon as Asari arrived in the capital, she was immediately invited to the imperial city by the eunuchs. Perhaps because the emperor knew Asari, her arrangement was somewhat special.It was morning when Asari entered the city. There were a lot of people in the city at th
Game of the Throne Chapter 986 Sail on the Broad Sea
Early the next morning, Zhu Gaoxu walked out of the imperial concubine palace, said goodbye to Miao Jin, who was increasingly relying on him, and went to the morning court.Later, when the royal family was listening to the government, some ministers mentioned the Tatars' request for peace.Whether it is those who advocate peace or those who oppose it, the reasons given have no actual reference value. On the surface, everyone talked about righteousness, right and wrong, and singled out all the bad deeds of the Tatars' previous betrayal. Regardless of whether the Ming court condoned or punished them, they all stood on the side of justice. Perhaps this is why ministers put forward political opinions.As for weighing the pros and cons, it was not appropriate to have a heated debate in a place like Fengtian Gate. When Zhu Gaoxu retreated to Rouyi Hall and summoned the important officials of the cabinet, people began to have different opinions.Qi Tai, the M

Time flies, the years pass by like a shuttle."Woo..." A long and distant whistle sound woke Zhu Gaoxu up. When he opened his eyes, he saw a young woman sitting opposite him. She immediately showed a gentle smile. Her face was very smooth and white, full of youthful vitality, and she looked very young.Zhu Gaoxu then saw his withered and wrinkled hands, and then he came to his senses and realized that he was already very old. He almost forgot about it when he woke up. Recently, he has been getting more and more confused, often in a trance, and often has chest pains.He wanted to stand up from the chair, but it was very difficult. The woman opposite stood up and came over, saying kindly, "Your Majesty, please go slowly. I will help you." She was Xiaohe, the name Zhu Gaoxu gave her.Zhu Gaoxu finally came to his senses and remembered that he was on a carriage heading to the train station.It is now the 56th year of Wude (1465 AD), Zhu Gaoxu is alre
Game of the Throne Chapter 988: Journey
The carriage was filled with a steady rhythm of "clang, clang" noises, which came from the railroad tracks, and also caused the table to shake. Xiao He made tea, placed a silk handkerchief on the table, and placed the teacup there. The orange-red tea swayed in the cup.Zhu Gaoxu looked at her careful movements and asked, "Do you know why I gave you this name?"Xiao He Shuiling looked at him and shook her head.Zhu Gaoxu said, "There was a palace maid named Xiaohe before. She looked a bit like you when she made tea. At that time, I was only in my thirties. I was so young..."Xiao He in front of him was surprised, "That must have happened decades ago."Zhu Gaoxu nodded.Xiao He asked, "Your Majesty, what kind of person is she? Is she very pretty?"Zhu Gaoxu couldn't answer. Even the maid's appearance was vague in his mind, but he still remembered that she didn't seem very pretty. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether he still remembere
