"The Seven Guards of Kansai are now blocked under the Daimyo Castle, and after conquering Tongzhou City, the Marquis will personally lead the army south and encircle and annihilate it in the territory of the Daimyo Mansion!"

Originally, Li Yuntian didn't plan to talk about the Seven Guards of Kansai at this meeting, but since Zhao Yong mentioned the Seven Guards of Kansai, he naturally wanted to explain it to everyone, so after glancing around at the generals present, he pointed to the famous city on the map with the small wooden stick in his hand, and said loudly.

Although Li Yuntian didn't want to be ruthless to the Kansai Seven Guards, he couldn't show it at this time, so as not to affect the morale of the troops.

After plundering in the north of Zhili, the seven guards of Kansai wanted to go south to the south of the Yangtze River, the richest place in the Ming Dynasty, despite the dissuasion of Arutai, but were blocked by the Ming army of the famous city on the north bank of the Yellow River.

The Daimyo Castle is an important military town in the north of the Yellow River, with the tendency of "controlling the river Shuo, locking the key to the north gate", controlling a large area of territory north of the Yellow River, and holding the Daimyo Castle is equivalent to blocking the enemy's passage to cross the Yellow River in the south.

Speaking of the famous city, there is also an allusion in it, during the Song Renzong period, in the face of the threat of the Khitan invasion of the south, there were many ministers in the imperial court who wanted to move the capital and make peace with the Khitan, but Song Renzong finally adopted the construction of the prime minister Lü Yijian to build the Daimyo's mansion as the capital and named it "Beijing" to show the novelty of the decisive battle with the Khitan.

The Khitan heard that the Song Dynasty had established a companion capital in the Daimyo, so they were timid in the face of the Great Song Dynasty, which was actively preparing for war, without a fight, and then dispelled the idea of invading the south.

Song Renzong's newly built companion capital, is the famous Beijing Daimyo Mansion in the history of the Great Song Dynasty, there are both "outer city" and "palace city", the circumference of the outer city is forty-eight miles, the circumference of the palace city is three miles, magnificent, majestic and magnificent, known as "the city is high and dangerous, the trench is wide and deep"; "The drum tower is majestic", "the characters are prosperous"; "Thousands of dance pavilions, tens of thousands of Lin palace Fanyu"; "Thousands of fierce generals dominate the city, and millions of Li people live in the country."

After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, with the Yongle Emperor moving the capital to Beiping City, the strategic position of the famous city was reduced, but due to the dangerous geographical location, it is still the most important military town on the north bank of the Yellow River.

As the rear city of the Ming Dynasty to defend the northern Tatars and Warat, the garrison of the Daimyo City is not much, only the size of 5,000 people, fortunately Zhou Zheng in the Guanxi Seven Guards from the Fallen Horse Pass into the North Zhili after the Shandong Division, Shanxi Division, and Henan Divisions issued an order to hold and block, so the Shandong Division sent 30,000 reinforcements into the Daimyo City, and then the Daimyo City had enough troops to block the pace of the advance of the Guanxi Seven Guards.

The Kansai Seven Guards had already attacked the Daimyo Castle twice, but due to the lack of necessary siege equipment, they all returned in front of the high walls of the Daimyo Castle, and more than 10,000 servants and soldiers fell under the Daimyo Castle under the drive of the Kansai Seven Guards.

Compared with the Western Regions, the prosperous and wealthy Jiangnan is simply a paradise in the hearts of the Kansai soldiers, and there is an irresistible temptation for them, they don't want to be blocked by a small city to stop the pace of the south, so while building siege equipment, they are swarming out to plunder the strong men in the nearby states and counties to prepare to attack the city again.

After recovering Tongzhou City and Juyong Pass, Li Yuntian will move his army south, surround the soldiers of the Guanxi Seven Guards in the Daimyo's Mansion, and then attack the Seven Guards of the Guanxi according to the situation, and teach them a lesson no matter what.

After the military meeting, Zhao Yong, Xue Yi and Li Daniu hurriedly returned to prepare for their own operations, and when the Mongol army south of Shanhaiguan was wiped out, the Ming army attacking Juyong Pass and Tongzhou City would march together and attack both places at the same time, and these three battles would determine the course of the great battle between the Ming army and the Northern Yuan.

In a side room, Li Yuntian frowned and looked at a situation map on the table showing the distribution of the Ming army, Tatar, Wara and Guanxi Qi's forces in Shanxi, the entire capital division and the Northern Zhili, the main force of the Mongolian army is in the territory of the Northern Zhili, as long as the Mongolian army in the Northern Zhili is eliminated, then the Ming will win the war.

It is already late October, and Beizhili may usher in a heavy snowfall at any time, he must rush to capture Juyong Pass and Tongzhou City before the heavy snow comes, and firmly trap the Mongol army of Beizhili in the south of Juyong Pass, otherwise the university will bring great difficulties to the military operation, and if he is lucky, he will be able to clean up the Kansai Seven Guards before the heavy snowfall.

"Xianggong, it's time for dinner." Just as Li Yuntian was engrossed in front of the map, secretly deducing the trend of the war in his heart, Lei Ting's voice sounded in his ears.

Lei Ting was followed by a handsome lieutenant wearing a military uniform of the Xiaowu Army, carrying a food box in his hand, and methodically brought out the food in the food box and placed it on the table.

This female lieutenant is none other than Li Yuntian's newly married little county lord Nuo Min of the Dayan Department, Nuo Min didn't want to stay at home and do nothing under Lei Ting's influence, so he followed Lei Ting's side to help her.

As the official duties at hand became more and more heavy, Lei Ting also needed someone to help her, because she was not only responsible for Li Yuntian's diet and daily life, but also had to contact the secrets of the Xiaowu Army of the Martial Arts Hall, so it was not easy for her to find a suitable candidate, and Nuomin was undoubtedly the best choice, suitable for taking care of Li Yuntian's life and not revealing secrets to the outside world.

Gegentana is very supportive of Nuo Min's decision, and in her opinion, if Nuo Min wants to really gain a foothold in the Li family in the future, he must have a career like Lei Ting and Chen Ningning and others.

Besides, if Nuo Min can become Li Yuntian's helper, then it will also be of great benefit to the Dayan Ministry, after all, the Wutang and Xiaowu Army can be said to be the henchmen of Emperor Xuande, and Nuo Min's ability to do things in this kind of confidential yamen will make the Dayan Department benefit a lot, and no one in the outside world dares to provoke the Dayan Ministry.

Nuo Min used to think that what Lei Ting did was very simple, and she could easily deal with it, but when she really threw herself into it, she realized that her idea was too naïve, Lei Ting not only knew Li Yuntian's diet and living habits well, but also handled a large number of official documents sent below with ease, and she couldn't understand the map of Xiaowujun alone, let alone other things.

Therefore, Nuo Min is now helping Lei Ting while seizing the time to study, trying to adapt to her work environment as much as possible.

In order to enable Nuo Min to be able to take charge of herself, Lei Ting is ready to let her enter the lecture martial arts hall for further study, and the lecture martial arts hall is ready to open a women's class, and the first batch of female class students will be selected from the families of the Ming Xungui, and will be responsible for the secretarial work of the martial arts hall and the Xiaowu army.

Tong Guò got along with each other during this time, Nuo Min finally understood why Li Yuntian was able to win the war with the Mongol army in Liaodong, in addition to Li Yuntian's amazing talent, his diligence is incomparable to others, and he will be busy until late at night every day before falling asleep, which can be described as very hard, and she is a little distressed to see her.

"Xianggong, I just received the latest news, last month, the Turpan Kingdom united the Western Regions such as the Huozhou State and the Liucheng Kingdom, and has captured the territory of the Guanxi Seven Guards Sancheng, and the King of Hami has sent people to ask for help from the Guanxi Seven Guards coalition army in the north Zhili, so that the coalition forces of the Guanxi Seven Guards will return immediately."

During the meal, Lei Ting smiled and told Li Yuntian a good news, Ha Miwei is the head of the Kansai Seven Guards, not only because its bloodline is the most noble, but also the strongest among the Kansai Seven Guards.

This time, 30,000 of the 80,000 allied troops of the Seven Guards of the Kansai came from Hamiwei, and King Hami was the only vassal king of the Ming Dynasty in the Seven Guards of Kansai, who reconciled the contradictions between the Seven Guards internally and dealt with the invasion of Tatar, Warat, Eastern Chagatai Khanate and Turpan externally.

Among the small states in the Western Regions, the Turpan State was the strongest, and the small states such as Liucheng and Huozhou took the lead of their own defense in order to protect themselves, and they also faced the invasion of the Tatar, Warat, and Eastern Chagatai Khanates, and at the same time there was constant friction with the Seven Guards of the Kansai Empire.

Therefore, the dispatch of troops by the Seven Guards of the Guanxi was really unexpected by Li Yuntian, because the shape of the Western Regions was complicated, and once the Seven Guards of the Guanxi Province transferred the main force to attack the Ming Dynasty, it was likely that they would be attacked by the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and the Turpan States.

However, since the Kansai Seven Guards were willing to send troops to assist the Tatars and Warat in attacking the Ming Dynasty this time, there was a chance that they were promised to be protected by the Tatars and Warats by force, which made the Kansai Seven Guards send troops to the Ming Dynasty under the temptation.

Now it seems that the Kansai Qiwei Gao looked at the influence of Tatar and Warat in the Western Regions, so that Turpan and other countries took the opportunity to make trouble, which is undoubtedly a great benefit to the Ming Dynasty, which means that the Kansai Qiwei had to withdraw from the North Zhili, although the Jiangnan of the Ming Dynasty is full of temptation for them, but if they lose the territory of the Kansai then they will become ownerless duckweed, and the gains outweigh the losses.

"It's a timely rain." Knowing that Turpan led the army to attack the Guanxi Qiwei, the corners of Li Yuntian's mouth suddenly showed a smile, which had an important impact on the settlement of the Guanxi Qiwei matter.

"It's weird, why does Turpan want to help Daming?" At this time, Nuo Min couldn't help but ask curiously, as far as she knew, the relationship between the countries of the Western Regions and the Ming Dynasty had not yet reached the point of sending troops to help.

"They're just protecting themselves." Li Yuntian smiled when he heard this, and then looked at Lei Ting and asked Lei Ting to explain the reason, after all, Nuo Min's experience was too shallow to understand the interests involved.

"If the Seven Guards of Kansai help the Tatars and Warat to capture the northern region of the Ming Dynasty, then the Tatars and Warat will definitely bring Shaanxi and Gansu to the Seven Guards of the Kansai Empire, and at the same time send troops to assist them in cleaning up Turpan and other countries in the Western Regions."

Under Nuo Min's puzzled gaze, Lei Ting smiled slightly, and said to her in an orderly manner, "If Turpan and other countries alone will definitely not dare to provoke the Kansai Qiwei and Tatar and Warat at the same time, but if Dongchagatai supports them behind their backs, it will be a different matter. ”

"Higashichagatai? What does this have to do with them? Nuo Min was stunned when he heard this, there was no need to mix in the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and the Guanxi Qiwei between Turpan and other Western Regions.

"Eastern Chagatai is now facing increasing pressure from Western Chagatai, if Tatar and Warat help the Kansai Seven Guards unify the Western Regions, then the next target of the Kansai Seven Guards will definitely be the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, which is definitely not what East Chagatai wants to see, and will definitely find a way to deal with it."

Lei Ting saw that Nuo Min hadn't reacted yet, so she patiently explained to her the interests involved, and finally said with a smile, "Compared to Tatar and Warat, Dongchagatai prefers to see the Great Ming control of the Kansai region, at least then the balance of power of the parties in the Western Regions will not be broken." ”

The so-called Western Chagatai Khanate refers to the Timurid Empire, because the Timurid Empire evolved from the Western Chagatai Khanate, so the Ming Dynasty still called it the Western Chagatai Khanate.

"I see!" Nomin understood now, and couldn't help but nod thoughtfully.

At that time, because of Kublai Khan's accession to the throne, a tragic war broke out between the three major khanates of the Mongol Empire, including the Chagatai Khanate, and the Yuan Dynasty, which eventually led to the division of the powerful Mongol Empire.

Otherwise, if the major khanates of the Mongol Empire respected the descendants of Kublai Khan as the Great Khan of the Mongol Empire as they did when Möngke Khan was alive, then when the rule of the Yuan Dynasty fell into crisis, the major khanates would definitely send troops to save them, and it would be easier for the Ming Dynasty to establish a state.

Li Yuntian's dinner was very relaxed, as Turpan led his troops to attack the seven guards of Guanxi, the problem that bothered him the most has been solved, and then he has to find a way to deal with the aftermath of this matter, so as to ensure the stability of the Guanxi region of the Ming Dynasty.
