"You mean avoiding a fight?"
"Not really. What I mean is that when the Jian Nu attacked Governor Wang's rear, we should not rush to support them, but wait for the right opportunity to act!"
......
On the morning of the third day of May, Wang Yongji, who had traveled a hundred miles deep into the grassland, received a letter from Li Dingguo.
He did not agree with Li Dingguo's speculation.
In his opinion, it was simply unbelievable to determine that the enemy's main force was there based on only dozens of scouts.
Moreover, after Jirgalang was defeated in Guangning, he had been retreating northwards.
He followed closely behind.
Therefore, the main force of the Jiannu army must be in front of him, not behind him.
Before dusk that day, the Ming army advanced another fifty miles.
Wang Yongji's plan was to drive the main force of the Jiannu and the Mongolian tribes away two or three hundred miles, and then return.
This is also the reason why he did not send troops to the rear. After all, they would withdraw after just two days.
But just to be cautious.
He sent a letter to Tang Tong in Jinzhou, Liu Fangliang in Songshan and Ma Shiyao in Dalinghbao, asking them to support each other.
As for Yizhou...
Wang Yongji did not make any special arrangements, but just sent a message to tell them to be careful.
After all, Gao Jie's five thousand soldiers are there!
"Report!" The scout ran quickly to Jirgalang's tent: "The main force of the Ming army has gone 150 miles beyond the Great Wall."
"One hundred and fifty miles..." Jirgalang stared at the map in front of him and began to calculate: "The Great Wall is one hundred and fifty miles away from Dalinghebao, and Wang Yongji is one hundred and fifty miles away from the Great Wall!"
"That is to say... Wang Yongji is three hundred miles away from Dalinghe Fort!"
"Your Highness is so smart!" The people around him immediately started to flatter him.
"In that case, let's get started!" Jirgalang took out a stack of envelopes from his arms and put them on the table.
He picked up the first envelope and handed it to the postman next to him: "Send the letter to Lekedehun overnight and ask him to bypass Gaotai Fort and attack the Liaoxi Corridor of the Ming court on the sixth day of May."
"I obey your command." The first postman turned and left.
Jirgalang picked up the second letter and said to another postman, "Give the letter to Liu Zhiyuan and order him to attack Yizhou on May 5. Remember, you can only fight in the field, not attack the city."
After the second postman left, Jirgalang picked up the last letter.
He handed it to his confidant beside him and instructed: "Go through the grassland and bypass Liaoze, and deliver the message to Prince Li (Man Dahai), telling him to send troops on the ninth day of the fifth month!"
