Keyimen, also known as Shanheguan.

It is located on the periphery of Zhongxing Province, northeast of Helan Mountain. The mountain where the Inkeyi Gate is located resembles a table and is square in shape, also known as the Table Mountain Range by the locals. The gate where the Keyi Gate is located is located between the cliffs of the two opposite mountains.

The Yellow River flows through here and is the narrowest point of the entire Yellow River.

The accumulation of sand over the years has made the road surface of the pass relatively smooth. It is ten kilometers long, winding and treacherous, and the terrain is dangerous. From above, you can see the entire bottom of the ditch at a glance.

At the beginning, Temujin captured the Keyimon because he took the tactic of luring the enemy.

First feigned defeat and deceived the garrison out of the pass. and then killed a horse pistol, and then called Wei Mingling Gong to lose the battle.

Now the Mongol army has once again gathered outside the Keyi Gate. But the gatekeeper has been replaced by a Yuan person.

At present, in the military fort of Keyimun, Li Chengye, who had just arrived, was listening to the latest military situation reported by his subordinates.

According to the information from scouts and spies behind enemy lines, Jebe dispatched almost the entire Wangu army this time. Combined, there are at least 200,000 people. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as pouring out of the nest. And the message had already reached the steppe, and Temujin also specially assigned 2,000 Xue troops to support Jebe's military campaign.

In addition, there are three more heavyweights among the enemy generals.

One is the right-wing Ara Borshu, the head of ten thousand households and the head of a thousand households. He was 'ambitious and good at war', and followed Temujin to fight all the way to the north and south, unifying all the Mongolian tribes.

Although the main general of this attack on Xia was still dominated by Jebe, it was just Temujin taking care of Jebe's emotions. After all, changing generals after defeat is a distrust of a general. But sending Arat Borshu also serves as a double insurance.

The other two are Tuo Lei and Wokotai. They are all people who have been to the Yuan Kingdom, Tuo Lei is captured, and Wokotai is an envoy to ransom people. The two of them were noble and came to Jebel's tent. Obviously it is to increase knowledge, but in fact, it is to cheer up Jebel.

Although it was not as effective as Temujin's personal arrival, the presence of the three of them was enough to boost the morale of the Mongol army.

"Lord Wang, the Mongolian army came with heavy troops, and it is clear that they are here to ask the teacher for guilt. But the Shuaifu means that we should make our own decisions, but we are not allowed to turn into an all-out war, how can we be good? Tuturak said.

Da Yuan had always been cautious about the war with the Mongols in the east. The current situation in Keyimen is obviously beyond the expectations of the Shuai Fu. That's why the Gansu Army was asked to decide for itself, but remember to focus on stability.

"The Shuai Mansion has such a resolution, and we will abide by it. If you want to come to the Mongolian king's tent, our envoys are already in action. Li Chengye said with a steady expression.

His answer was to allay the concerns of the generals.

It's just that seeing that everyone is still worried, he couldn't help but explain: "The sky is falling, there is a tall one, if the Mongols dare to detain the pass, you will beat it hard." Something happened, and I, the king of Liang, carried it. ”。

These words immediately struck a chord with the generals. All of them looked relaxed, and said with a sigh of relief: "We will do our best, and we will never disappoint the court and embarrass King Liang." ”。

Li Chengye looked at it with a smile, and listened to the defense arrangements of the Keyi Gate. Seeing that there was nothing wrong, he asked Wei Ming Linggong to stay, and the others dispersed.

"Fuguo Gong, Xia Jun's side will be handed over to you." , Li Chengye said in a somewhat heavy tone. The Xia army that surrendered and the Xia army who later entered Zhongxing Mansion and promised to be attached to it had 170,000 people.

It contains the soldiers and horses of the three and a half military divisions and the elite iron harriers of the original Xia Kingdom. Although in terms of the quality of the soldiers, it is uneven, and many of them are indiscriminate. But at this juncture, Da Yuan only sent some disabled soldiers, and the others stayed.

Now with the addition of the Yuan army of 40,000, there is also a huge strength of 210,000.

However, the Xia army is different from the Yuan army in the end, and if you take refuge in the Yuan army at this moment, you can also take refuge in the Mongolian army in the future. In the first two Mongol battles against Xia, this happened a lot. Now in the army of the Mongolian army, you can still see the Xia army that took refuge in the past.

For such an army with low loyalty, Li Chengye did not dare to use it wholeheartedly. Let Wei Ming Linggong continue to manage and help Dayuan stabilize the army of Xia State.

Speaking of which, Da Yuan is still good to Wei Minglinggong. Let Li Dewang ascend the throne, and he will be named the auxiliary prince. The previous difficult thing with Dayuan can be regarded as a write-off.

Now that Li Chengye is so relieved to hand over the army to him, it is already a great trust.

Of course, Li Chengye also looks at the famous Linggong as a soft bone, which is easier to control. And his family members are all under the care of the Yuan army. If he does anything unfavorable to Dayuan, his family will not be able to save it.

Judging from the age of half a hundred hairs of Wei Linggong, it is impossible to have any more children. Now I live for my family.

Therefore, Li Chengye is not afraid that the famous Linggong will dare to betray.

"Don't worry. With the old man here, Xia Jun is safe. According to the prestige of the Duke of Wei Ming Ling in the army, he is indeed qualified to say this.

Seeing this, Li Chengye didn't say anything more.

At the same time, in the middle of the Mobei grassland, the Orkhon River Basin, Hala and Lin. It used to be the seat of the royal tent of the Kerebu and the capital of Huihe hundreds of years ago. The scenery of the desert Gobi or low grasslands in other northern desert areas is different.

The water network here is dense and the terrain is low and flat. Forests stretch out, gradually obscuring the old human tracks. But now, it's back to its former glory. It is even several times more prosperous than before.

Patches of water have been carved out into rice paddies. When the temperature rises in the summer, the serfs who are plowing under the scorching sun with their trouser legs tied are sweating profusely and planting crops. On the shore are the heads of the villages who supervise their work, and the slightest slackness is a whip falling.

Yarava Thorn followed behind Yelu Ahai, who led the way, and looked at the serfs of the Divine Tree one by one, and did not say anything. These people were all Han Chinese captured from the Jin State in recent years, and although a large part was sold to the Great Yuan, a large number was also digested within Mongolia.

After all, the Han Chinese would plow the land, and keeping them might be more useful than shepherd slaves who could only herd sheep and raise sheep.

In addition, there are too few people who can farm in Mobei, so allowing these Han people to grow crops is also convenient for the supply of the army.

After walking across a few improvised wooden bridges, he came to the garrison of most of Mongolia. The yurts stand quietly, with a milky white appearance and a blue sky, just right to complement each other.

Yarava is not here to play, so naturally I am not half interested in the beauty of the scenery. He only followed behind Yelu Ahai in a regular manner, thinking about how to complete Li Chengji's explanation this time.
