The dust stirred up by the march of soldiers and camels and horses fluttered around Kublai Khan and his ministers. Liu Xiaoyuan was dressed in a brand-new Mongolian robe, with a felt hat buttoned on his head, and an Uzzi steel scimitar, peeking at Kublai Khan and the Mongolian generals around him from time to time.

This is a military parade before the army sets out! The last fight of the Great Mongolian Kingdom in the Central Plains will begin soon! For this fight, Kublai Khan really did his best. The property plundered from Hebei, the property expropriated from Henan and Shaanxi, and the savings of the Great Mongolian State over the years have almost been exhausted. All of them became maces, maces, spears, carrying guns, camel hammers, H-medicines, and, of course, rewards. Every Mongol, Semu and Han soldier could receive a generous gift at the end of this parade, which was used to boost the morale of the army.

Kublai Khan is now almost fifty years old, and these days he is obviously aging, his hair is mostly gray, and his back is slightly bent. However, there was still a ray of essence in his eyes. Watching the army pass in front of him in a row, the light in his eyes brightened a little brighter with each procession, and even his bent back straightened a little. The five big and three thick Mongols behind him also danced with their eyebrows when they saw these armies with brand-new equipment and tactics passing by like a stream of iron.

With maces, maces, hammers, and camel guns, what kind of enemy could the warriors of Great Mongolia not be able to defeat?

"Long live the Great Khan! Immortal Heaven bless the Mongols! ”

Every Mongol thousand-man convoy passing in front of Kublai Khan's horse would have cheered loudly. Morale is so high. and the Mongolian army when they fled from the banks of the Daqing River last year seemed to be people of two worlds.

Amid the cheers, Kublai Khan suddenly turned his head and looked at Liu Xiaoyuan. The mouth is fluent in Chinese: "Liu Qing, what do you think?" Can today's Mongol army defeat the Chen thief in the Central Plains? ”

In Liu Xiaoyuan's ears, there was always some lack of confidence in Kublai Khan's tone. He glanced at the mighty marching army in the wilderness, and said with a slight smile: "Great Khan, the way to use troops is not only to be strong and powerful, but also to command the commander properly...... Chen Dexing can have today's momentum. Not all of them are in steel and H medicine, and their way of using troops is also enough to be called a famous general in the world, and the Great Khan should not be taken lightly. ”

A word of persuasion. To Kublai Khan, it seemed that every sentence was a golden and jade good word.

“…… This thief is indeed good at using soldiers, Liu Qing ...... You are also familiar with the art of war, but do you have any strategies to defeat the enemy? ”

Liu Xiaoyuan frowned, as if he was thinking hard. He said: "The way of using soldiers." Since ancient times, it will be a miracle to win. However, in the minister's view, it is easy to match, but it is difficult to win. The so-called strange is actually dangerous, and the dangerous moves of the soldiers are strange. If you encounter an enemy general who is not good at using soldiers, strange soldiers often have miraculous effects, but when you encounter a good general like Chen Dexing, the soldiers will often lose due to danger. So in the opinion of the minister. If you want to break the thief, you need to do the right way and harden the village. Fight hard......"

"Tie the village, fight in a daze......" Kublai Khan repeated Liu Xiaoyuan's words, as if savoring the truth. In the past, the Mongols emphasized the way of clutching and flexible mobility, and the Mongols disdained to fight hard battles.

But now, the cavalry of the Northern Ming Dynasty is obviously on par with the Mongols - the Eight Banners equipped with steel armor seem to be stronger than the Mongolian cavalry with only leather armor! Moreover, the infantry of the Northern Ming Dynasty were also mounted infantry, and this kind of one-man and one-horse (not war horse) troops may not be enough to go to the grassland, but it is enough to maneuver in Henan. How big is the plain of Henan? The vertical and horizontal distance is only five or six hundred miles, and if you spare no horsepower, you can run a pair in three days. Besides, the current mass base of the Mongols in the Central Plains is far inferior to that of the Ming Dynasty, and the people of the Central Plains have long known that the Han dynasty has risen and defeated the Mongols! There seems to be a sign of domination of the world, and those who want to make meritorious contributions from the dragon and become a founding hero of the Northland will be on whose side they will stand on when the time comes, they can figure it out with their heels!

Therefore, a large-scale mobile warfare will not only bring the Mongols little chance of victory, but will plunge them into the vast sea of people's war.

In contrast, it is more reliable to fight hard and the Northern Ming army to carry the front. If you lose head-on, then what kind of maneuver do you play, and if you have this little strength, run directly to the west, and don't lose eight miles and open a situation again?

Thinking of this, Kublai Khan lowered his head: "Yes! It's going to be hard and stupid......"

……

Liu Yang hurriedly walked along the alleys of the back street, and only then turned out and got onto the main road, when he saw a group of Mongolian soldiers carrying maces slowly driving in front of him. Now the Mongolian soldiers in Kaifeng City don't know what's going on, they don't use scimitars, bows and arrows, and carry maces more than 6 feet long to the streets. This thing looks quite heavy when it looks like it, and it's also thanks to these Mongols to carry it.

Liu Yang is now shaved down, dressed in a red monk's robe, and wearing a cockscomb-like hat on his head, dressed as a lama -- most of the Mongols here in Henan followed Kublai Khan to believe in the lama. Therefore, it is much safer to dress up as a lama than to be a third-class man. Moreover, the appearance of the Wusi Tibetans is similar to that of the Han people, and Liu Yang has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and he can speak Mongolian fluently, and he also understands a little Tibetan. When you meet a Mongol, you will definitely not be a goof, and you are not afraid to meet a Usi Tibetan, so it's a big deal to pretend to be a Mongolian lama...... Nowadays, there are also some Mongolians who believe in Tantric Buddhism and become monks.

Moreover, Kublai Khan has now asked several officials to set up a Kaifeng Imperial City Division to closely monitor all kinds of people who come and go to Kaifeng City. These people are all Heavenly Sects, and the third-class Han is at their mercy. However, the lama is an existence that they cannot afford to provoke, Tibetan Esoteric is the state religion of Mongolia, and Kublai Khan himself is a follower of Tantra. Most of the Mongolian ministers and generals also believed in Tantric Buddhism to raise lamas. And lamas and Celestials are sworn enemies of religion! If the Heavenly Sect provokes a lama, then the whole city will be provoked, and maybe there will be a Mongolian general who believes in Tantric Buddhism to kill people directly with a mace - the Semu people are second-class! If you call the first Mongolia, you will die in vain!

However, Grand Lama Liu retreated to the wall according to his cockscomb hat to avoid the Mongols who were carrying maces. When the Mongols had gone away, he glanced up at the sky with dark clouds falling, and saw that the snow was about to fall, so he hurriedly quickened his pace. Today he made an appointment with an important person, and he was going to meet somewhere. The countdown to the Central Plains War was already over, and he had to inquire about the Mongols' troop deployment and battle plan as soon as possible. In addition, Chen Dexing also gave him a full one million Heavenly Dao tickets, and there was no limit to reimbursement, so that he could win over a few Mongolian heroes in a short period of time.

It's really a tight time and a heavy task!

Liu Xiaoyuan was dressed in Confucian clothes, with a small servant, and lazily shook out of his house. He was now a fan-wielding adviser to Kublai Khan, and he had no real power - Kublai Khan was now increasingly distrustful of the Han Chinese. However, Liu Xiaoyuan is somewhat an exception, although he has no power, but he can participate in the scheme, and it is obvious that Kublai Khan still wants to use his wisdom...... In other words, Kublai Khan just wanted to hear some analysis from Liu Xiaoyuan!

In Liu Xiaoyuan's view, Kublai Khan's best way out now is to flee quickly, withdraw from the Central Plains with his relatively complete Mongolian army, and use the H medicine weapons and steel weapons of the Central Plains (the Mongols still obtained some Nanfen steel through various channels) to bully the barbarians in the West, are you still afraid that you will not be able to defeat a big country?

He looked around left and right, but did not find the spies sent by the Kaifeng Imperial City Division to monitor him - the Kaifeng Imperial City Division was a secret agent yamen run by the Semu people, and the task was to prevent the infiltration of the Northern Ming Dynasty. The secret agents inside are all lustful people, and they are all Tianfang cultists, which is too easy to identify. However, during this time, Kublai Khan's finances became more and more tight, and the imperial city secretary had not been paid for several days. The following color mesh will not have the energy to do things.

After Liu Xiaoyuan took a turn on Kaifeng Royal Street, he walked to Wazi Lane in a car. After making sure that there was no one following, he flashed into a small brothel. This Liu Xiaoyuan likes prostitution, and he is a little famous in the whole Kaifeng. Although his status is not low and he has a lot of wealth, he has little interest in getting married and having children. As soon as I have free time, I linger in the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, and the ** in the brothel of Kaifeng is a little higher, and there is no one who doesn't know him Liu Daguan.

It's still morning, and it's deserted in the brothel, and he hasn't come out to greet him, probably still sleeping. A turtle man came up with a flattering smile on his face. Liu Xiaoyuan threw him a copper plate. "Is Master Jinlun here?"

"Coming, coming, I'm on the second floor to participate in the Joy Zen!"

"Take me there."

"Okay." The turtle man responded, so he took Liu Xiaoyuan to the outside of a secluded room on the second floor and knocked lightly on the door.

"Master, I have a guest who wants to see you."

It was indeed Liu Yang's voice from inside: "But Lord Liu? ”

Liu Yang, a fake lama, actually chose to connect with Liu Xiaoyuan in a brothel, which is really creative!

However, the Tantra of this era is different from that of later generations, and the double cultivation is very popular and casual, and the more wandering the remains, the more like a true lama - historically, the Sixteen Heavenly Demon Dance, known as the voice of the Yuan Dynasty, was introduced into the Mongolian court by the Tantric lamas.

"It's Liu Xiaoyuan." Liu Xiaoyuan said.

"Then please come in."

Liu Xiaoyuan stuffed the turtle man with a copper plate, sent him away, and then pushed the door in. After his eyes adjusted to the dim light in the guest room, he saw Liu Yang, dressed as a lama, sitting there with a smile, a tea bowl in front of him was still steaming, and it seemed that he had only been waiting for him for a long time.
