Ah Shu said: "Great Khan, the minister thinks that the three khanates will not dare to cross the Yilie River to attack Alimari when they know that the Great Khan is personally confronted, and they will confront our army across the river, and then decide whether to engage in battle depending on the situation." Our three-way army, both in terms of strength and generals, is far above the three khanates. You can send troops to attack and harass them from time to time, break their morale, and turn small victories into big victories. If they cross the river and attack while their morale is low, the three khanates will be defeated! ”

Kublai Khan had an approving smile on his face, and Ashu's plan coincided with his strategy. He has his back to Alimari City, his troops are superior, and there are generals like Cheng Yue for his own use, and the three khanates have no chance at all. If the two armies hold each other for a long time, the Mongol opposition will not be able to hold back their heads, and as long as they defeat their opponents in one fell swoop at that time, and then return to the army to sweep the Mongolian steppe, they will be able to maintain peace for at least ten or twenty years.

Kublai Khan turned his head to Cheng Yue and said, "Cheng Yue, do you think Ah Shu's plan is right?" He really wanted to know the number of ways Cheng Yue used his troops, and see what tricks Cheng Yue could come up with.

Cheng Yue said solemnly: "Prime Minister Ashu's strategy is the most appropriate, and the minister seconded it." ”

Kublai Khan was a little disappointed, but he couldn't think of a better idea, and asked the generals, "What do you think?" ”

The generals replied in unison: "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

Kublai Khan nodded and said: "Then it is decided, all the armaments will be warned, set off tomorrow morning, and let them see who is the real Mongolian man!" ”

"Yes!"

Cheng Yue looked at it coldly, all the generals under him were very enthusiastic, and the six kings such as Cyriji were also eager to try, and they couldn't help but sneer secretly.

After deciding on the locations of each army, Kublai Khan left Ah Shu and Cheng Yue behind. Take them to the apse for counseling.

Ah Shu deserves to be a veteran. The battle was well organized. Where to fight, how to fight, how the enemy will react, and which places are the key at your fingertips, so that Cheng Yue is greatly appreciative. At the beginning, Kublai Khan made a lot of money to exchange for Ashu, and it was indeed very worthwhile.

Kublai Khan knew Haidu and others very well, they considered themselves brave and good at war, and they looked down on the Han people at all, and Cheng Yue's own 5,000 elites could be used as surprise soldiers. Last-minute kill.

After the three of them agreed, Cheng Yue returned to the house and asked the concubines to prepare to leave. Originally, I didn't plan to take them with me on the expedition, but this time it was very close, and we had to confront each other for a while, so it was better to bring them.

After exercising all the way, the concubines packed up their things and became familiar with them, and soon put them in the carriage in large bags and small volumes, waiting for tomorrow's departure. Cheng Yue quietly came to the small mansion again, and lingered with Sa Buhu for a while.

Early the next morning, the army set out again. It was only a day and a half to the north, and they came to a place far away from the city of Alimari. The two princesses were originally going to follow Cheng Yue. But Cheng Yue refused, on the grounds that he was afraid that he would be distracted by the imminent war, and Kublai Khan greatly appreciated it when he learned about it.

Alimali is actually today's Yili, Cheng Yue is very familiar with the nearby terrain due to anti-terrorism in the frontier, and there has been no major change for more than 700 years. And the Yilie River, of course, is today's Ili River.

The Ili River flows gently, freezing and dry in winter, so you can cross it on horseback, but because there will be puddles in some places under the ice, it is difficult to say whether it will be dangerous for thousands of troops to cross the river. There are few steep places on both sides, which are conducive to the grazing of the garrison.

When Cheng Yue led the army to the shore, he could vaguely see that there were people moving on the opposite side, as Ah Shu expected, the three khanates did not dare to cross the river casually, and wanted to win, the first rat at both ends.

Cheng Yue set up camp and immediately sent people to investigate the situation of the enemy and the situation on the river. Where the frozen river can be crossed, and where the land is soft, must be determined one by one.

Soon he was rewarded by the exploration horse, and less than five miles away from the river, Chagatai Khan Duwa and Guiyou Khan's grandson Hehu led an army of more than 60,000 and confronted Cheng Yue's 86,000 army across the river.

Cheng Yue laughed dumbly, laughing at the opponent who looked down on him too much, and laughing at Hehu still rebelled as in history, so it was okay to save himself from going to him.

Lian Xixian couldn't help laughing and said: "Congratulations to the marshal, the three khanates actually dare to despise the marshal, and the marshal has won this battle." ”

Cheng Yue thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Although there are not many troops on the other side, Duwa and He Hu are very good at fighting and should not be ignored." ”

The generals said, "Yes." ”

Totomuer stood up and said, "Dashuai, I am willing to lead 3,000 men and horses to explore the camp for Dashuai first." ”

Cheng Yue pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay, don't dwell on the unfavorable war, Umar, you bring two thousand people to meet him." The two generals were ordered to set off.

The Mongol cavalry engaged others, unless it was unavoidable, and would not go head-to-head with the opponent, but would constantly intersperse a large area, appearing at any position on the battlefield at any time, and shooting arrows accurately at the enemy with a cold shot, leaving all those who fought with them at a loss. It can be said that the Mongols were the originators of guerrilla warfare on the battlefield.

However, it is a different matter when the two teams of Mongols fight against each other, after all, they are too familiar with each other to make those tricks useless, and it is better to fight with real swords and guns.

Totomur led 3,000 troops, and Umar led 2,000 troops, and after setting out from the camp of the right army, they found a place to cross the river together.

Before they finished crossing the river, not far from the opposite bank, there were already banners waving and heavy troops gathered.

He Hu looked at Totomuer and Saiyin Deqi who crossed the river under the banner of Jing and was surprised and delighted, and was surprised that these two people were both famous generals, how could they be under Cheng Yue's men? The good news is that he and Totomur are old acquaintances, and their ideas are similar, and he is one of the key figures in the achievement of the three khanates' plans this time, as long as he is convinced, he will not worry about big things. So he hurriedly waved his hand to stop his men's request to attack, and let them come first.

Seeing that He Hu did not attack, Totomuer crossed the river boldly and with confidence. Umar stayed on the shore to take charge, and Totamur led 3,000 men to face Hehu's army directly.

Totomuer saw He Hu from a distance, smiled and rode alone towards the middle of the two armies. When He suddenly saw it, he also stepped forward to meet him alone.

The two quickly met the horse's head, and Totomuer smiled: "He Hu, when did you follow the sea to do it?" Kublai Khan didn't come well this time. ”

He suddenly heard that Totomuer did not say "Great Khan", but said "Kublai Khan", smiled slightly, and said: "Haidu Khan is a descendant of Ogedai Khan, have you forgotten the promise made by your ancestor Genghis Khan himself?" Furthermore, even if Haidu Khan is not the Great Khan of Raushzi, the Great Khan elected by the Kuritai Assembly at the beginning was Ali Buge Khan, although Ali Buge Khan was poisoned by Kublai Khan, but his eldest son Yaomu Huer and younger son Mingli Timur are still there, why did Kublai Khan proclaim himself the Great Khan? You are all kings, why do you want to work for Kublai Khan's shameless villain? Are you worthy of your ancestors? ”

Totomur was speechless, which was his idea and the common opinion of the kings of northern Mongolia. Kublai Khan is not in the right position, who in the world does not know? That's it, he poisoned his younger brother for the sake of the throne, and he still has the face to crusade against the kings who strictly obeyed Genghis Khan's instructions, what is the reason? There is always an indescribable discomfort in serving Kublai Khan.

He suddenly saw that Totomu was moved by him, and continued: "Since Kublai Khan proclaimed himself Great Khan, do we Mongolians still call us Mongols?" The land in the south cannot be grazing, but still have to be farmed, and the rivers and mountains laid down by our Mongols have made the Han people officials. Have you heard? Kublai Khan has just issued an order for all Mongols who are officials to learn Chinese! Big joke! We Mongolians are the masters of the Han people, now let's speak Chinese and learn Chinese, who listens to whom? In a few generations, will we also learn from the Han people to take the imperial examination, and those who are full of mouths will also worship Confucius? At that time, apart from the Great Khan, we Mongols, what else will be Mongolian? How is it different from us being ruled by the Khanates? ”

Totomu nodded unconsciously, feeling deeply reasonable. They also felt ridiculous about Kublai Khan's will, but when they heard that Cheng Yue made a big fuss about the Daming Palace, scolded the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces, and slapped Ah Shu, who would dare to object?

He Hu struck while the iron was hot, and said: "Take you as an example, as the king of Chagatai Sect, how noble, but now you want to salute a Han boy and listen to his dispatch, you can bear it?" If the ancestor Genghis Khan saw such a situation, he would definitely be so angry that he immediately ordered Kublai Khan to abdicate the throne! The country is ours, not the Han people! Isn't that the reason? As long as it's a Mongolian man, how can he swallow this breath? ”

Totomu'er was provoked by He Hu, gritted his teeth and said, "What if you don't swallow it?" I advise you not to underestimate Cheng Yue, this guy is indeed a powerful person, otherwise with Kublai Khan's temper, how could he be so indulgent to him? Wan Ze and Nang Jiazhen are whatever he wants, and the most powerful generals under Kublai Khan will give him whatever Cheng Yue wants. Do you know, even Lian Xixian is under him, waiting for Cheng Yue like Kublai Khan, this Han boy is by no means simple! ”

He sneered and said, "I know, isn't he just some weapons that he got out of nowhere?" So what. He must have very few weapons, otherwise he would have gone north to find trouble with Kublai Khan, and could he still be at the mercy of Kublai Khan? If he brings out the weapon, and I have prepared tens of thousands of slaves there, and let them block it for us, are you still afraid that he will not be able to do it? ”

Totomuer was stunned at first, then immediately clapped his hands again, and said with a smile: "You can come up with such a good idea, Cheng Yue wants to kill him, let him kill enough, are all slaves Han?" ”

He Hu smiled and said, "The idea is that we thought together, and those slaves don't use it in vain." Most of the slaves are Han Chinese, I don't think Cheng Yue can do it, hehe! When he kills all these Han Chinese, how many weapons will be there against us? Cheng Yue lost his weapon, what is the difference between him and his bare hands? Those under his command will immediately panic, and when the time comes, I will cover up the past, and guess who wins and who loses? (To be continued......)
