The Northern Ming Dynasty was in the capital, and after Duan Lang's great victory, he did not immediately advance the Moro Kingdom to the republic. According to the plan he had consulted with the Mahari, he was to rest in the capital for a few days, and then march to the Moro Kingdom after the arrival of the reservists.

In the camp of the capital, the morale of the soldiers of the Northern Ming Dynasty was high, and the captured weapons and equipment, grain and grass alone were enough for Duan Lang and the Mengdu army to serve for two or three months. Especially for the 100,000 powerful soldiers of the Northern Ming Dynasty, only a few of them were able to kill them overnight, and only a few of them fled, which was enough for these soldiers to brag about for a lifetime.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Mingyue carefully observed the captured march map of the Northern Ming Dynasty, thinking about which route to attack. Don't look at the secret agents of the Northern Ming Dynasty, they have also secretly mapped and mapped the detailed map of the distribution of the various capitals of Moro over the years, but compared with the captured marching map, the mapping gap between the Northern Ming secret agents is still very large. Among them, the important places of mountains and rivers are clear at a glance in the marching map led by Chalchinke. In particular, the military arteries are specially marked on the marching map.

Tantai Mingyue looked at Meng Du and asked, "General Meng Du, when will the reserve soldiers and horses be able to arrive in Yudu?" ”

"According to the report, you will be able to come to the capital city before noon tomorrow. The commander of the troops this time is General Qi Ke, who is also a veteran who is good at fighting defensive battles. Mondu said.

Yutai Mingyue nodded and said, "Okay, after they arrive tomorrow, your department will quickly replenish the source of troops and hand over the defense." Early the day after tomorrow, we will send troops to the Moro Kingdom to recover. News should have reached the palace of the king of Moro these days, and at the normal rate of the gathering of troops and horses, they should have about ten days left in the capital. We must take advantage of this gap and kill the city of Temira in Moro. There formed a fortification and waited for the arrival of enemy troops. ”

Tantai Mingyue said and pointed to the marching map, "The geographical location of Tamira City is very important, and the troops must pass through Tamira City from the capital of Moro, Jakes City. Moreover, this city was built between mountains and rivers, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Withdraw from Houcheng, and then drive to Babu Tuocheng and Mamaiya City and other places. Even if you can't hold it, it's very easy to evacuate. ”

Meng Du looked at Mingyue and then at Duan Lang, "What, are we going to fight to the death with the main force of the Moro Kingdom in Taimira City?" ”

Duan Lang shook his head, "After this defeat, the Moro Kingdom will definitely come with a large army. Reserve 100,000 soldiers and horses in the capital to defend the city here, so that we can give it a go. But you and I are only fighting them in the city of Temira. When the time comes, you and I will retreat to the cities of Babu and Mamaiya. Your task is to avoid the encirclement of the other party as much as possible, and run as fast as you can. As long as they divide their forces, the soldiers and horses of our Great Calendar Kingdom will eat each other little by little. General Mondu, fighting is not a waste of soldiers' lives, when I was in the jungle, I knew that hunting was to kill wild beasts, not to be eaten by wild beasts. ”

"However, if our department doesn't fight with each other and just blindly runs around, how can we contact His Majesty Jishan at that time?" Mondu asked.

Duan Lang smiled slightly, "General Mengdu doesn't have to worry, my army scout battalion will send a few people to follow the general's team." When the time comes, Ben Shuai will control your whereabouts in time. It is even said that they may join forces to kill each other. But after leaving Tamil City, you and I will have to be self-sufficient. ”

Meng Du nodded, "I understand that war feeds war, and wars between countries have always been like this. ”

Tantai Mingyue said softly, "General Mengdu, although this is an inevitable plunder in the war, I still hope that the general will try to spare those unarmed civilians of the Moro Kingdom. The hatred between the two countries lies with the king and the general, not with the suffering commoners. If possible, try to leave them a mouthful of food for survival. ”

Meng Du sighed, "Your Royal Highness Princess, when Moro invaded my Northern Ming Dynasty, how many tribal men were slaughtered and how many tribal women were robbed. Although this is the order of the general, the Moro thieves are really hateful. However, since Her Royal Highness the princess said it, Meng will try his best to control his soldiers. ”

Yutai Mingyue sighed secretly in her heart, she knew that Meng Du would probably not be able to control her subordinates at that time. After all, it would be nice to be able to go behind enemy lines, and in that environment, not to massacre civilians. As for whether they will starve to death or freeze to death, no one cares about that. This is war, and it has to have such a brutal side.

Yu Ducheng took advantage of this short and quiet time to quickly deploy troops. After all, more than 100,000 troops entered Moro, and the Tai Mori also had to guard against Moro's counterattack to the Northern Ming Dynasty. The total strength of the Northern Ming Dynasty could only come out with about 300,000, and after Mengdu led the troops away, there were still 100,000 troops stationed in the capital.

The city of Tamil was about 200 miles away from the capital, and since the Moro kingdom was rarely invaded by foreign enemies, most of the defensive walls in the city were not very high. Moreover, Tamil City had only 2,000 patrols stationed, and since the news of the defeat of Chalcink reached Tamil City, the city lord was terrified every night. When he learned the news that the Beiming army was killed, the city lord didn't say a word, led two thousand patrols, and fled Tamil City overnight.

Duan Lang and the Mengdu army occupied this strategic route to the hinterland of the Moro Kingdom without a single soldier. Although the lord of the city fled, there were still many people in the city who did not flee. From the look in their eyes, Duan Lang saw not welcome, but with deep hatred. Duan Lang ordered that all battalions should not disturb the people, and unless these people had a tendency to attack the large camp, they should not use force to oppress.

Duan Lang and Mingyue rode out of the city and inspected the surrounding terrain. Duan Lang looked at Mingyue and said, "Yue'er, from the eyes of those civilians, I suddenly realized a truth. The Five Kingdoms of Heaven have existed in the world for more than 200 years, and some of them have undergone internal changes and changed dynasties. However, regardless of whether the five countries are strong or weak, they still exist and continue. This shows that no matter which ethnic group it is, it is no less difficult for a foreigner to truly rule them than to change the dynasty. You can force it for a while, but there will always be a day when they will erupt. As long as one leader stands up and gathers the strength of the whole clan, it is easy to drive foreign enemies out of their homeland. ”

"Lang, throughout the annals of history, the strength and weakness of the five countries have been constantly changing. Just like a long time ago, my Northern Ming was invaded by Moro, but they regarded the Northern Ming tribes as slaves, and finally broke out in the battle against Moro during the ancestor period of my Lantai family. When I first read this history of the founding of the ancestors, I was thinking, if Moro didn't look down on inferior people, would there be the current Beiming? If this problem can be completely solved, it is not impossible to dominate the world, and perhaps it will be possible to maintain peace and stability for a long time. ”

Duan Lang looked at Mingyue, "It's easy to say, but it's hard to implement." If you don't send troops, it's hard to control. Once troops are dispatched, a repressive force will be formed. It will be a long time to change the hostility of a nation. ”

Yutai Mingyue smiled, "It's too early to think about these things, or as you said, just surrender, and the world is safe." ”

Duan Lang also smiled, "Well, let's think about the present." In fact, our dispatch of troops this time is also very timely for Beiming. Uncle Qi has already received the news that Xiyue and Moro have officially made a truce. In the past, in order to prevent West Vietnam, the Moro Kingdom had at least 100,000 soldiers on the border of West Vietnam. If these soldiers and horses were withdrawn back then and all of them were pressed to Beiming, even if your eldest brother had a shrewd strategic mind, he would inevitably be wiped out. In the battle of the capital, it can be seen that the Moro soldiers and horses are indeed strong. Our 60,000 elite divisions can definitely be compared to Zhou Long's 8,000 dead soldiers. If there is no support from the Mondu army, even if it wins, I am afraid that the loss will not be small. ”

Tantai Mingyue nodded silently, "Next, I'm afraid, I will face the encirclement and suppression of the entire army of the Moro Country." Lang, do you think we should play our own banner after the division of troops? ”

"For the time being, there is no need, when the other party has made it clear, it is not too late to play the flag of the Great Calendar. After all, invading other countries is not a glorious thing, and you and I, the emperor and queen, always have to cover our faces. In addition, I hope that General Mondu will not disappoint me, as long as his men and horses can hold back some of the opponent's forces, I believe that this battle will soon be over. ”

Tantai Mingyue nodded, "After I go back, I will tell you, General Mengdu's task is to escape, and I am also worried that Mengdu will be impulsive and have a hard fight with the other party." ”

Duan Lang smiled, "I'll leave this matter to you, after all, in Mengdu's heart, you are still the third princess of Beiming." Let's go, go back to town. ”

After the two finished observing, they returned to Tamil City with their own soldiers. Although there was Da Fei in the air to closely observe the surrounding situation, Duan Lang still didn't dare to be careless, and sent scouts to go forty miles to observe secretly.

At this time, the city of Yaks, the capital of the Moro Kingdom, was constantly gathering troops and horses from all walks of life, and the troops on the border of West Vietnam were also transferred by the lord of the country, Vupor Khan. Just as the Moro Kingdom was gathering troops and horses to prepare for the capital, a fierce debate was also going on in the palace of Dawan City, the capital of the Western Yue Kingdom.

In the Xiyue Palace, Zhou Zhongde, the lord of the country, was shocked after listening to Lu Mu's secret recital, but he didn't believe the authenticity of the news.

"Lu Qing, do you know that today's Duan Lang is no longer what it used to be, it can be said that there are five countries in the world, and the current Great Calendar Country is the most powerful. As the Emperor of the Great Calendar Kingdom, I don't think he will be in danger. Don't forget that the great calendar will gather strong generals, and it is also a great grace for Beiming to send a famous general to take command. I don't know, is your information reliable? Zhou Zhongde asked with a frown.

"Your Majesty, when the ministers retreated, they sent people to go undercover in major cities such as Lidu City and Zhongdu City. In the past year, Duan Lang and Tangtai Mingyue have not appeared in front of the people of the Great Calendar Country at all. It is even said that the ministers in the court cannot see him as the emperor. This news is the exact news obtained by the secret station set up by the minister in the Great Calendar Kingdom, which gathered the information collected from all over the country. Moreover, some of the news is from the military department of the Great Calendar, and the ministers can basically determine that the news is absolutely accurate. ”

"Even so, I think that Duan Lang is nothing more than to help the pro-alliance, which means little to me Xiyue. If I had taken the initiative to send troops to support Moro at this time, I would have clearly started a war with Duan Lang. Lu Qing, today's Xiyue is definitely not the opponent of the Great Calendar Kingdom, and he must not lose a big one because of a small one. Zhou Zhongde admonished.

"Your Majesty, that period of Langming's attack on Moro is actually an allusion to my Xiyue. Although the Northern Ming Dynasty was weak, it had excellent war horses and materials, and the ministers allied with Moro to use the pressure of Moro to make Xiyue dare not act rashly. But now, Duan Lang wants to break this balance. Once they succeeded in subjugating Moro, the western Yue would be isolated. What's more, there is no natural danger to defend at the junction of Western Vietnam and Moro, and if Duan Lang abandons the Two Realms Mountain in the future and invades our Western Vietnam through Moro, he will definitely pay a heavy price at that time. Your Majesty, people who have no long-term worries must have near-term worries, and only by helping Moro solve this battle can we sit back and relax. Lu Mu persuaded hard.

"Then if you anger Duan Lang and let him attack the Two Realms Mountain at all costs, do you think that with the current strength of my Xiyue, I can still resist the attack of the Great Calendar Kingdom?"

"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, since Duan Lang didn't disclose his identity, but declared war on Moro in the name of Beiming, then we can also plan it, don't pick out this matter at all, and also have a dark Moro."

Zhou Zhongde was stunned for a moment, "What does Lu Qing mean~ secretly send troops?" ”

"Yes, since Duan Lang can act as the general of Beiming as the king of a country, then the minister can still use the identity of the general of Moro to fight against him. Wouldn't it be better if Duan Lang and Tangtai Mingyue could be destroyed just like that. As long as they die, the rest of the Great Calendar Kingdom has nothing to worry about. Even if it can't be killed, that Duan Lang can only suffer a dumb loss, and he can't blame me Xiyue for the sin. What's more, after repelling Duan Lang, the Moro Kingdom will inevitably become tough. This is not harmful to me in the west. ”

"That~ how many troops are you going to send?"

Lu Mu thought for a moment, "100,000 troops." ”

"No, at present, the total number of troops in my West Vietnam is less than 200,000, if there is a loss, won't I have to defend the country empty."

Lu Mu hesitated, "Your Majesty, it will cost at least 60,000 troops, and it can't be less." In this dispatch, our West Vietnamese soldiers and horses are only fighting surprise attacks, not the main confrontation. The minister promised with his life that he would bring back a surprise to His Majesty. ”

Zhou Zhongde sighed, "Lu Qing, you also know that since our defeat, there are many people in the court who are dissatisfied with you. Of course, I know Lu Qing and will still support you. However, I must consult with my ministers on this matter. Otherwise, I would not be able to explain to my ministers. ”

"Never." Lu Mu hurriedly waved his hand, "Your Majesty, this dispatch of troops is carried out in secret just like Duan Lang. Once the ministers knew, the matter would be leaked out one step earlier. The minister wanted to catch Duan Lang off guard, and he must not let him know the news in advance. In addition, the 60,000 troops were directly mobilized from the border departments, and His Majesty said that we were conducting secret training, which should not cause a shock in the court. ”

Zhou Zhongde hesitated again and again, and asked uneasily, "Lu Qing, are you really sure?" ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will make that Duan Lang regret it for the rest of his life."

Looking at Lu Mu's serious and cold gaze, Zhou Zhongde pondered for a long time, and finally nodded heavily.

"Good! Since that Duan Lang is my great enemy in Xiyue, I agreed. Lu Qing, the national fortunes of Xiyue are all handed over to you, if you lose again this time, I will no longer be able to protect you. Even said that for the sake of my peace in the west, I will bow my head to that section of Lang. ”

"The minister understands that for the sake of my Xiyue, the minister is willing to smear his liver and brain."

Lu Mu bowed deeply to Zhou Zhongde, and in the face of such a heavy trust from the lord of the country, Lu Mu felt that if he didn't kill Duan Lang in Moro, he would be sorry for the trust of the lord of the country. ()
