There is a change in the grassland, and a big war will start!

With the defeat of Zamuhe, the Mongolian steppes have become a pattern of two heroes side by side.

There is a saying that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. On the prairie, there can only be one overlord in the end.

Originally, Temujin became Wang Han as his father-in-law, and the relationship between the Qiyan Department and the Kereh Department was quite harmonious. But with the sneak attack two years ago, the two have become fire and water, and there is no room for any reversal.

The territories north of Western Xia and west of Dajin, spanning two or three thousand miles from east to west, all belonged to the Kereh Department.

The west of the Hannan River, the east of Lake Baikal, and the boundary of more than 1,000 miles from north to south are all the territories of the Qiyan Ministry.

In the middle of the two tribes, there were originally more than ten tribes, large and small.

In the past two years, Temujin and Wang Han have been working hard to do one thing. It is to annex the small and medium-sized tribes and strengthen their own strength.

After two years of rivalry, all the tribes between the Qiyan and Kereh tribes were annexed. After losing their buffer, Temujin and Wang Han's troops each faced a strong enemy. After several skirmishes, both sides knew the details.

An inevitable battle is about to begin!

After Yan Kang returned to White Horse City, Xu Daosheng came to the military situation one by one.

"At present, what is the comparison of the military strength of the two sides?" Wan Yankang asked.

Xu Daosheng took out a list: "The grassland tribe, all the people are soldiers, it is really difficult to estimate the total number." However, according to the current intelligence analysis, the number of soldiers on both sides who are good at fighting should be in the range of 200,000 to 250,000, while the Beggar's troops should be between 150,000 and 180,000. ”

Wan Yankang nodded, and the comparison of the military strength of the two sides was also in line with his previous expected judgment. At this moment, he suddenly felt a little envious of Temujin and Wang Hanlai.

The men of the steppe tribes are all good at riding and shooting, and with a little training, they can become good cavalrymen. The population of the Beggars and the Kereh tribe each did not exceed 1.5 million, so there could be 200,000 men with armor.

Wan Yankang is currently in charge of the military and political power of the Dajin Fourth Road, with a population of nearly 10 million, but the available soldiers in his hands are only in the early 100,000s.

"Dashuai!" Xu Daosheng snorted lightly and woke Wan Yankang from his trance.

Wan Yankang smiled embarrassedly and said to Xu Daosheng: "I thought too far for a while, and I was distracted." ”

Xu Daosheng pointed to the center of the sand table and asked, "The big war is about to start, I don't know where the marshal wants to help?" "The situation in the grassland was tense, and both Temujin and Wang Han sent envoys to White Horse City to offer heavy gifts and try to win over Yan Kang.

Wan Yankang took a closer look at the sand table, suddenly sat on the Taishi chair, took a sip of hot tea, and then said with a smile: "Let's not help each other, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight." ”

"Shall we return the gifts?"

"If you have a gift, why don't you accept it!" Wan Yankang's eyes narrowed, and he was happy to tighten.

Xu Daosheng also laughed, although he didn't do anything after receiving the gift, he was a little shameless. But at this time, no matter which side it is, it is impossible to anger Whitehorse City because of this.

"The messenger still hasn't seen you?"

After Yan Kang thought about it, he still met with the messengers sent by both sides. Although he has made up his mind that the two will not help each other, he can take other people's things and not even see him, which is too arrogant and shameless.

Temujin and Wang Han's messengers arrived in White Horse for several days. At this time, after hearing that Yan Kang had returned to the city, they all hurried to ask for a meeting.

Temujin's envoy arrived first, and after Wan Yankang, he ordered his soldiers to welcome him into the palace first.

After a while, a big man stepped into the lobby with his own soldiers. This person had seen Xu Daosheng earlier, and at this time, he bowed slightly to Xu Daosheng, said hello, and then bowed to Wan Yan Kang, and said in Chinese: "Mu Huali of the begging Yan Department, I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Wan Yankang raised his palm and said, "The general doesn't need to be polite, please take a seat!" ”

Mu Huali arched his hand and sat down on the guest seat.

Wan Yankang heard that this person was Mu Huali, and knew that he was the number one general under Temujin, so he looked at this person carefully. I saw that this person had a black beard, a tiger's head and eyes, and he looked forward to it. Eight feet long, his body appears to be extremely muscular, his hands reach his knees, and his gestures are very coordinated.

After Yan Kang looked at it for a while, he began to ask, "General Mu Huali, how many stone bows can you fire?" ”

Mu Huali pondered for a moment: "I can shoot two stone bows." ”

Wan Yankang stretched out his thumb and praised: "Amazing! ”

Mu Huali shook his head: "I heard that in the White Horse City, there are hundreds of unrivaled flying horses, and everyone can use two strong bows, my little ability, in the eyes of His Highness, should be nothing." ”

Wan Yankang snorted: "What the general heard is really wrong." As the general said, the person who opened the two stone bows in the beggar department, can there be geometry? ”

Mu Huali said: "Among the tribes, martial arts can surpass my generation, and the amount of vehicles is loaded. ”

Wan Yankang typed the word hehe in his heart, not to mention that he knew Mu Huali's details, but just looking at his figure, this person must be a fierce general. If, as he said, there are countless people who can beat others in the martial arts of the Beggars, then there is no need to fight the Keree Department, and Wang Han will obediently send his head to it. Mu Huali's way of coping with it is just that he learned from Zhang Song, a lobbyist in Shu during the Three Kingdoms.

After greeting for a while, Mu Huali took out a gift slip from his arms and presented it to Wan Yankang: "On the orders of the Great Khan, I will offer a small gift, and please ask His Highness to accept it with a smile." ”

Wan Yankang took the gift list and looked at it: 50,000 heads of cattle and sheep, 10 carts of gold, silver and jewelry, 100 horses, and 30 beauties of different races. Xu Daosheng mentioned that the envoys of the two families had brought gifts, but he didn't expect Temujin to be so generous.

However, Temujin made a big deal and set a strategy of not helping each other, and Wanyan Kang would not change his mind because of these gifts. After reading the gift list, he only said: "Go back and thank Temujin Khan for me." Then he pulled Mu Huali and continued to talk.

He knocked on the side for a while, trying to find out the truth of the beggar from Mu Huali's mouth.

But Temujin was able to send Mu Huali because he was calm and resourceful. In the face of Yan Kang's side knocks and various public information, Mu Huali answered very sincerely, and for the core secrets, Mu Huali answered without leaking.

After Yan Kang saw that Mu Huali was not leaking, he simply stopped inquiring into secrets, and chatted with Mu Huali from all over the world.

The two chatted for a while, and it was Mu Huali's turn that he couldn't help it, and he took the initiative to ask: "My beggar department has had a lot of disputes with the Keree department recently, I don't know what Your Highness thinks?" ”

When Yan Kang heard this, he said solemnly: "I hope your department will maintain restraint and don't start a war lightly!" ”

Mu Huali arched his hand and said: "If it wasn't for me to provoke the incident, it was really the Kelie Department that was aggressive, and I hope His Highness will see it!" ”

Judging from the current situation, in terms of the tribal population and the number of warriors, it is indeed the Kreh tribe that is superior, and in several skirmishes, most of them were also provoked by the Kreh tribe on their own initiative. But at this time, the competition between the two powers is already on the bow, and no one can stop it. Regardless of whether the Kereh tribe provokes trouble, or the beggar tribe takes the initiative to attack, the big war is close at hand.

Wan Yankang pondered for a moment and began to express his attitude: "The tribal struggle is really an internal affair of the grassland, and I, Dajin, as a superior country, am inconvenient to interfere with." ”

Mu Huali came with a heavy gift this time, of course, to pull White Horse City into the water to participate in the war and help the beggar department. But when he came, Temujin explained to him that there was no need to force everything, and if Daikin could not help each other, it would be quite good. At this time, Wan Yankang said this, he returned to see Temujin, and he could be regarded as having completed the task.

So, after a few words of greeting, Mu Huali decisively said goodbye.

As soon as Mu Huali walked out of the door, after Yan Kang, he announced that the envoy of the Kelie Department came to see him.

After the envoy of the Kerebu entered the door, he touched his chest with one hand, bowed slightly to Wan Yankang, and greeted in broken Chinese: "Kerebu Sangkun, I have seen the little prince!" ”

Wan Yankang saw that this man's Chinese language was stuck, so he replied in Mongolian, "Please be seated." ”

As soon as Sang Kun sat down, Wan Yankang saw his face, and suddenly felt a little familiar, so he asked: "I don't know what position the envoy holds in the Kereh Department?" ”

Sang Kun smiled slightly: "My Khan is my father. ”

After Yan Kang then remembered, it turned out that this person was the young master of the Kereh Department, Sang Kun. He originally thought that the Kereh Department was at most like the Beggars Department, and sent a general to come, but he didn't know that Sangkun was actually here.

As the little khan of Sang Kun, he can be on an equal footing with Wan Yankang, the son of King Zhao. For this reason, Wan Yankang got up specially, walked in front of Sang Kun, hugged him, and said: "Your guests are far away, I am not well entertained in White Horse City, I hope to forgive me!" ”

Sang Kun laughed: "Where, where." After speaking, he took out a gift slip from his arms and handed it to Wan Yankang.

Wan Yankang took the gift list and looked at it: 60,000 heads of cattle and sheep, two carts of gold, silver and jewelry, 5,000 horses, and 10 beauties of different races. He glanced at it and set it aside.

After Sang Kun finished reading Yan Kang, he asked, "I don't know if the little prince is satisfied with this thin gift from my department?" ”

Wan Yan Kang laughed: "If this is still a thin gift, in this world, there will be no more generous gifts." ”

When Sang Kun entered the door, he bumped into Mu Huali and went out, he was afraid that he would come late, Wan Yan Kang had already agreed to the conditions of the begging department, and at this time, after seeing Yan Kang accept this gift list with a smile, he was relieved.

The two exchanged a few words, and after finishing Yankang, he went straight to the topic and began to understand the strength of the Kerebu.

Unlike Mu Huali, Sangkun has no secret of the strength of the Kerebu. According to what he said, the pastures controlled by the Kereh Ministry are 3,000 li, the herdsmen are more than 1.5 million, and the men with armor are 300,000.

Wan Yan Kang said in his heart, if it is only a matter of time before you destroy the Qi Yan Ministry, why do you have to come to my White Horse City in person. Of course, Sangkun is so nonsense, and Wan Yankang is happy to see this.

As soon as Sang Kun's words were blown, Wan Yankang immediately clapped his hands and said: "Since this is the case, the contemptible people mentioned that congratulations to the Kelie Department for unifying the grassland, for thousands of generations!" ”

Sang Kun seemed to feel that he had blown his cowhide a little too much, and then he remembered his original intention of coming to White Horse City, so he changed the conversation again and asked Yan Kang to send troops to help.

Wan Yankang said: "Your ministry is strong, and it is easy to defeat Temujin. I have few soldiers in White Horse City, why do I have to do this thing! ”

Sang Kun's big words have been released, but he was so pinched by Wan Yankang, but he was very embarrassed, and he didn't know what to do.

Wanyan Kangzhiji took the initiative to propose that Daikin would remain neutral and would never help the beggar department.

When Sangkun heard this, he was relieved, and got up to say goodbye.

Wan Yankang sent Sang Kun to the door, and finally took his hand and left a sentence: "Brother Sang Kun, if the battle situation is unfavorable in the future, your troops can come to my White Horse City for refuge!" ”

Sang Kun thanked him, but his heart was full of displeasure and left in a hurry.

As soon as Sang Kun left, Xu Daosheng walked to Wan Yankang's side: "Dashuai, you still don't think about the Keree Department!" ”

Wan Yankang took out two gift lists and put them together: "The Kelie Department is heavy on wealth and goods, women, light war horses, with the frivolity of Sangkun, and the old age of Wang Han, how can it be undefeated!" ”
