"We can't delay any longer, we have to set off immediately, don't wait until Fan Yongji jumps over the wall in a hurry, runs into the river valley to fight grass and scare snakes, and it won't be beautiful to attract the attention of the Song army of Xingyuan Mansion in Hanzhong." Kublai Khan immediately made up his mind, he looked at Liu Heima, who was eager to try: "Liu Wanhu is the landlord of Hanzhong, you will be the striker, chase it out first, and you must stop Fan Yongji out of the river valley!" ”

Liu Heima agreed loudly, stood up, and slapped his chest loudly.

"Your Highness, don't worry, I will definitely bring Fan Yongji's head to you!"

"Don't be careless, Fan Yongji is the king in Henan, and he also has some ability, the Han people say that rabbits are in a hurry to bite, and we also have a saying in Mongolia, which is called that healthy horses are the easiest to slip on soft ground. It's all about the same thing. Kublai Khan told him: "Liu Wanhu must remember to be careful not to capsize in the gutter." ”

Liu Heima grinned, promised on his lips, but snickered in his heart: Fan Yongji fled in panic, where do you still have the heart to fight back, I know this person best, not the kind of master who dares to let go, since he would rather abandon Junzhou City, which has been entrenched for many years, to go up the mountain and fall into the grass, it proves that this person values his life more than anything else, how can such a person be high-minded.

"The rest of you are all marching with my brigade, and now I have already arranged the territory that has been laid down everywhere, and I will take care of it separately by each family first, and then distribute it when I have cleaned up the Song army of Xingyuan Mansion and everything is settled."

He looked around, scanning the audience with majestic eyes, no one dared to look at him, everywhere, everyone drooped their eyes to the ground: "The most respected warrior in the Great Mongolia, if you cower and are despised, you must not have selfish interests, and do not want to actively contribute to the population and territory." ”

Shi Tianze and the others hurriedly clasped their fists and responded: "We naturally don't dare, Your Highness doesn't need to worry too much!" ”

Kublai Khan solemnly bowed his head and said: "My army is vast, with a total of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses everywhere, and the Hanzhong River Valley is rugged and steep, which is not conducive to the battle of a large number of men and horses, so it is necessary to choose elite soldiers to march westward, Liu Heima first leads the soldiers and horses of the headquarters first, and the rest, each department selects 10,000 people to come out, and marches together with my beggar department and the main beggar cavalry." ”

When everyone heard this, their hearts ached, because Kublai Khan's meaning was obvious, and everyone of the 40,000 households present except Liu Heima took out their own elite and handed it over to Kublai Khan to use, how not to suffer from flesh.

The military system of ten thousand households in the Han region in the south of the Mo Dynasty was different from that of the Song Kingdom and the Mongolian State, the Great Song Dynasty was a conscription system, and the soldiers were recruited as many as they wanted, and the weapons were eaten and drunk by the imperial court; Mongolia is a soldier of all staff, and every man is born a natural warrior, grazing and hunting in peacetime, and being a soldier in wartime.

The Han ten thousand households were not as rich as the Song Kingdom, the north was barren, and both the grain production and the degree of industrial and commercial development were so far away from the south a few streets, and they could not afford to recruit soldiers; Second, it is not as well-established as Mongolia, and there is no martial arts atmosphere among the whole people, and the common people below are not good at all except for hoes, knives and guns.

They started out, in fact, they were all started by the landlords' armed forces, and they were often the first to form a strong party to protect themselves, and slowly grew stronger in the perennial war in the north, and eventually became a force that could not be underestimated.

To put it bluntly, they are the real grass kings and earth snakes.

Therefore, there are thousands of households in the Han region, each of which has an elite force to rely on, don't look at the fact that they can pull out more than 100,000 people to march around with arms at every turn, in fact, only 10,000 elites can really fight.

The rest, just shouting and shouting at the field, coaxing and beating the water dogs, there is no problem with following the strong momentum, once they encounter a hundred battles, it will not work.

Kublai Khan was going to ask them to take out the things at the bottom of the box at this time, and everyone would naturally feel heartache.

But he can't help but give it, because Kublai Khan himself set a good example, he just said that he will take the Mongolian soldiers of the Mongolian beggar tribe and the main beggar department to set off with the soldiers of Wanhu.

What kind of soldiers are the beggar tribe and the main beggar department, they are the tribal soldiers of Genghis Khan when he started.

Temujin was not strong at the beginning of his whirlwind on the steppe, he gradually grew stronger in the constant wars, and the beggars, even his father, should soon leave him an inheritance.

Temujin led the beggar tribe, and the first tribe to conquer was the lord beggar tribe, and in this victory he harvested the general Mu Huali of the lord beggar department, and began the glory of the two steppe overlords who tacitly understood to the bones for a lifetime.

According to Mongolian customs and conventions, the Khan's youngest son inherited his father's family business, and the rest of the children had to conquer other tribes with their own swords to start their own business, so after Genghis Khan's death, his direct tribe fell into the hands of his youngest son, Tulei.

Before leaving, Kublai Khan's eldest brother Meng Ge loved his younger brother and gave him 2,000 men of the cavalry of the beggar department and the main beggar department, so Kublai Khan avoided the embarrassment of bringing his two or three hundred guards to Han to take office.

Two thousand people said that it was not much, but when they appeared in front of the ten thousand households in the Han region, the shock and psychological pressure brought by them were as high as a mountain.

All the Han households have participated in the war to destroy the Jin, in the bloody battle that changed color, they saw with their own eyes the terrible Mongolian cavalry, the tens of thousands of iron horsemen who came and went freely ran on the land like a tide spreading, vast as the sea but incredibly flexible, dividing troops, encircling, detouring, advancing and retreating, the cavalry tactics that human beings can imagine are vividly displayed under the hooves of the Mongolian cavalry, the Jin country is also a nomadic dynasty based on cavalry, but under the butcher's knife of the Mongols, it fell apart after several major battles.

The rain of arrows that were thrown obscured the sun in the sky, and every time I thought of it, the thousands of households collectively shivered.

Kublai Khan did not bring many people, but he easily psychologically subdued this group of arrogant and arrogant overlords in the north.

Now that Kublai Khan personally took the cavalry of the Qiyan Department and the Zhu'er Qi Department to fight Fan Yongji, would it be a problem for the ten thousand households to have some people?

So after a little planning, everyone secretly glanced at each other, and agreed to come down together before Kublai Khan's face changed.

"Good! Without further ado, tomorrow Liu Heima will take the first step, and I will wait for two days at most after arranging things here. Kublai Khan smiled with satisfaction, he killed two birds with one stone, and received the elite of Wanhu into his hands under such an excuse, which was 30,000 combatable soldiers and weakened the strength of Wanhu, which was very good.

When the soldiers are in their hands, it is difficult to say when they will be returned.

"The Hanshui River Valley stretches for hundreds of miles from Xingyuan Mansion to Junzhou, and now it is not yet in the flood season, the river is not deep enough, we have to rely on human legs and horses in the past, I have estimated in advance, if you want to kill before the Song army in Hanzhong is ready, you must pass through this land within thirteen days, so everyone, once you pull out, you will move forward quickly, whoever is the first to stand under the city of Hanzhong, I have a heavy reward!"
