Chapter 573: Nayan wants to rob the grain
Nai Yan sneered: "Cheng Yue is just a clown who jumps off the beam!" He doesn't believe in any gods, he's a shameless heretic, and God will eventually punish him for his disrespectful behavior by our hands! ”
Yes, you read that right, Naiyan believed in God, and many of his people were Christians, to be precise, the Nestorian sect of Christianity, whose teachings were introduced to China from Persia during the Tang Dynasty, and were called Persian scriptures, also known as Nestorianism or Nestorianism of the Great Qin.
The founder of the Nestorian sect was, of course, Nestrius, a Syriac who had entered the monastery of Antioch as a monk. During his tenure as Archbishop of Constantinople, he opposed the sub-genre view of Christology and further advanced his own view that the divinity of Jesus should be separated from the human nature. He believed that the Virgin Mary was only a father of Jesus, not a divine nature, and that she should not be deified or venerated, but should be replaced by the title "Mother of Christ", or "the one who gave birth to God".
In fact, this argument was not initiated by Nestorius, but by an elder Athanasius, who supported it only with the fervor of his so-called defense of the truth, and thus opposed the Alexandrians' overemphasis on the divinity of Jesus, which naturally provoked a fierce attack from Patriarch Silier of Alexandria. In 431 AD, after the Council of Ephesus, the conflict between the various factions was mediated, but Nestori was removed from the post of patriarch, and his sect was condemned as heretical, protected only in Persia, and thus spread to the Tang dynasty.
Historically, religious sectarian disputes have been so ridiculous, especially the most stupid Christian sectarian disputes. For some very comical reasons, two or more factions fought over each other. Kill the sky in the dark. And what about the one who will prevail in the end? The truth they believe in is still absurd. Later generations will only laugh at their retarded minds when they read this history.
This is like obviously one plus one equals two, but there are two parties who just fight for whether it is equal to three or equal to four, and one dozen is thousands of years, in addition to shaking your head and smiling bitterly, how else can you evaluate this group of idiots?
At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the Nestorian religion or Jingjiao was very popular and powerful in Liaodong, and the key role was that Naiyan and other host kings were fueling the trouble. When Naiyan was pacified. The Christians in Liaodong were then brutally persecuted and gradually disappeared.
Jin Jianu said: "Dare to ask the Khan, what are we going to do?" Will there be a war with Kublai Khan right away? ”
Nai Yan said categorically: "We can't sit still!" Now we can't count on the kings of the west, we have to rely on ourselves! Father, we should contact Seduer, Shengnahar, and Hadan, gather as many of the host kings as possible, and join forces with them, and we may have at least 200,000 troops. With so many troops, we can force Cheng Yue to make concessions. He only had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and not all of them were cavalry. Even with the 100,000 men given to him by Kublai Khan, they are no match for us. Our forces are absolutely superior, and Cheng Yue can't stay in Liaodong for a long time to confront us. Won't he be able to walk without giving in? It is not enough to give Kublai Khan a little face, and let Cheng Yue re-establish Liaodong Province, but we must use our people inside, or like the current Xuanwei Division, it is still an empty shell, and it will be withdrawn in a few years! ”
"That's right! Khan is wise! ”
The crowd couldn't help but applaud!
Lost son Buhai said: "It's right to contact Hadan, Shengnahar and Shiduer, but we can't do nothing at the moment, in my opinion, we should go south to Xianping as soon as possible to explore Cheng Yue's reality and troops, and we can't let Cheng Yue think that we are afraid of him hiding far away, otherwise Liaodong Province can be set up soon, and it will be very troublesome to negotiate the conditions at that time." ”
Nai Yan nodded and praised: "Father is right, we can go to Xianping in the name of asking for food to give Cheng Yue a dismissal, so that he knows that we are not easy to mess with." He is in a hurry to go east to Japan, how can he have time to entangle with us, so that he can negotiate conditions. ”
Everyone nodded yes. Naiyan then ordered the tribes under his rule to pull out camps, the Mongol and Jurchen tribes totaled 430,000 troops, and 130,000 soldiers who could fight, and quickly moved south to Xianping, grazing while gathering and training, and when the other kings arrived, they competed with Cheng Yue, the king of Zhennan!
The tribes of the east were greatly shaken when they received Nayan's order. Most of the tribes immediately mobilized and set camp south. And for kings such as Namandai and Tugul, their choices were naturally different. They also set camp and went south, but they did not join Naiyan, but hid far away, and sent out a lot of scouts, inquiring about news everywhere, and moving forward slowly.
The land of Sa'erlu is not far from Xianping, although the big tribe moves slowly, after more than ten days of movement, Naiyan's troops began to rush to camp outside the city only more than 30 miles away from Xianping.
When the Xuanwei Division heard that Naiyan was coming, he was taken aback, and hurriedly sent someone to meet Naiyan's sweat tent to probe the wind.
Nai Yan only said that it was because of the severe drought in the east and the lack of grain stocks, so he went to the Xuanwei Division to ask for food.
Xuanwei Si was helpless, and he really didn't dare to meet Naiyan's request. The army of Zhennan Wang Cheng Yue is about to pass through the Xuanwei Division, and Xianping's stored grain must be used as military food for Cheng Yue to deploy, who dares to act rashly? It is necessary to wait for Cheng Yue to speak after he arrives, and the Xuanwei Division can be ordered to relieve the Naiyan Department.
Naiyan feigned anger, and scolded Yili Sahe for his consolation, and asked Yili Sahe to contact Cheng Yue as soon as possible to open a warehouse and release grain.
Who knew that Yili Sahe had just been scolded away by him, and Naiyan got the news of Dadu again, and instigated Du and Ouluchi to lead only 20,000 soldiers and horses to escort most of the grain and grass needed for this eastern expedition to set off from Dadu early, and the rear army would not have to follow after more than ten days! Count the time, instigating the capital and Oluchi have crossed the Shanhaiguan!
Golden opportunity!
After Nai Yan told everyone the news, he couldn't help laughing. Many generals are also gearing up. It's not robbing, we "borrow", it's always okay, right?
The tribe under Naiyan's rule was less than half, with more than 50,000 troops, more than 20,000 soldiers and horses to deal with Instigation and Oluchi. Besides, do you dare to start a war with Naiyan now? Aren't you afraid of missing Cheng Yue's big event? Haha, this business has no profits, and it is really done!
Nai Yan then ordered to use 5,000 soldiers and horses to trap the Liaodong Xuanwei Division, and did not allow the people of Xianping to come out to ventilate and report the news, and he himself led the remaining 45,000 people to block the road south of Xianping, waiting for the arrival of grain and grass.
Seeing that they were about to arrive at Xianping, they suddenly received a report from Tanma who had caught up from behind, informing them of the orders and location of Cheng Yue, the king of Zhennan.
When the two men heard the news, they were taken aback, and they ordered their soldiers to slow down, and at the same time sent a large number of scouts to investigate everywhere.
A day later, Tanma reported that Nai Yan led an army of more than 40,000 people to block the way, which was only half a day's journey!
The instigator and Oulu looked at each other with a red face, and they were afraid. Ou Luchi sighed: "The prince is really a god! If it weren't for the prince's timely discovery, we would have fallen into a siege! ”
instigated and scolded: "That kid Naiyan, do you really think that he can't kill the Tiemu Ge Chijin family?" If the Great Khan did not destroy them, did he have to destroy them by the hand of the false prince? The prince is a Han Chinese, and he will never be merciful to them, don't they even understand this? ”
Oulu Equator: "At the beginning, the prince told us that Naiyan's reverses were becoming more and more obvious, but I actually didn't believe it, but I didn't expect it...... Alas, the prince really saw thousands of miles, but we almost missed the prince's big event! ”
Instigated to suppress his anger and said calmly: "In our Mongolian army, many people are inextricably linked with the host kings, and they are constantly cut, I think this time we have to rely more on the Han army under the prince." ”
Genghis Khan sent his brothers to the east of Mongolia and his children and grandchildren to the west, and they were called the kings of the east and the kings of the west, and the relationship between them has always been very close.
Oluchi said coldly: "It is better for the Mongol armies to obey orders obediently, if we provoke the prince, we will not be able to protect them." In the great battle with the three khanates, the prince was able to counterattack with more than 5,000 elite soldiers and defeat the kings of the Western Dao in one battle. This time, I heard that 60,000 people came, even if there were only 30,000 elite soldiers like last time, it was not something that Naiyan could bear. What's more, what kind of means does the prince use to treat the traitors under his command, and is there anyone in the army who doesn't understand? ”
Instigated Du He smiled and said: "As soon as you say it, my hands also begin to itch, killing anyone is not the same as killing!" "The instigation of the capital is notoriously murderous, and the slaughter of the city is commonplace.
Oulu Equator: "The meaning of the prince is very clear, he wants us as bait. We immediately sent someone to report back to the prince, and the whole army stopped to rest and recuperate, and took precautions, and did not start the war lightly. ”
Instigated all nodded and said, "Okay, listen to you, rest first, and wait for tomorrow." ”
The 20,000 elite soldiers and 30,000 laborers who were transporting grain, grass and baggage were ordered to immediately set up camp and rest, prepare weapons, and strengthen their vigilance to prevent a sneak attack by Naiyan.
That night, there was nothing to do all night, Naiyan wanted to ask for food openly, and did not think about attacking the camp.
Cheng Yue got the report and ordered the army to move forward for half a day, ready to fight at any time.
In the middle of the night, dozens of figures sneaked out of Cheng Yue's camp, these people led horses, their hooves wrapped in thick cloth, ghosts and ghosts reverently bypassed the guards outside the camp, and walked prostrately. When they were far away from the camp, they were just about to get on their horses and run away, when torches suddenly lit up in front of them, and a general sat on his horse and glared at them angrily.
Those dozens of people immediately drew their swords out of their sheaths under the leadership of a burly Mongolian man, gritted their teeth and stared at Zhao Erchi.
Copy's red heart is even more angry. When Cheng Yue found him and asserted that there must be someone in the army who had fornicated with Naiyan, and would steal out of the barracks at night to report to Naiyan, he was still a little suspicious. Now not only have these people been discovered, but they also dare to fight with knives! This is a blatant rebellion!
Copying Chi said angrily: "You guys, don't hurry up and put down the knife!" Tie my hands for me, go back to the camp and ask the prince for guilt, otherwise I will be killed!" (To be continued.) )
