"Hey, I think we might be able to ......"

Catherine packed her luggage to return to the Grand Duchy of Moscow, and before leaving, took the initiative to negotiate with Xia Liang.

She also gradually understood that Xia Liang had wooed Hua Mulan and Joan of Arc, and she might have to compromise with Xia Liang in exchange for the opportunity to be alone with Chutian.

"Call me my sister."

Summer Ryo found himself a month or two older than Catherine.

"I don't want to ...... like this"

Catherine couldn't speak.

"Then don't talk about everything, you don't have to use it in the Eastern Han Dynasty in the future."

Xia Liang wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make it clear that the status of the main palace was unshakable and force Catherine to compromise.

"I am the duke of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, and my prestige extends to the Baltic Sea in the west and the Siberian Plain in the east......"

"Then do you want to see Chu Tian in the future?"

"Sister...... Sister...... Big...... People ......"

Ekaterina muttered in a low voice, at first it was unbearable to call it Xia Liang like this, but for some reason, she had a feeling that she was ordered by Chu Tian at the beginning, and she was not so disgusted.

"What a strange guy......"

Summer Cool is sensitive and senses Catherine's excitement.

But since Catherine was already willing to give in, Xia Liang didn't force her to do anything shameful.

"Then I can come over anytime in the future."

Catherine seemed to have let go of her baggage.

For some things, as long as there is a first time, there is a second and a third time.

"I didn't promise you. I'm just allowing you to come over a limited number of times! ”

Summer Ryo was still hostile to Catherine.

Hua Mulan and Joan of Arc saw that the two were fighting openly and secretly, and it was difficult for them to intervene, but they were just watching from the sidelines, at least it was beneficial for the two of them to limit the number of times Ekaterina came to the Eastern Han Dynasty in the summer......

Chu Tian ignored the fight between several people, because he found that his son and daughter in Xia Cheng had come to Luntai City.

Also arriving at the same time was the young Ma Yunlu.

Ma Yunlu seems to have become the eldest sister among several people.

Chu Wu relied on his age to be older than the little duke, and tried to pick up the little duke, but his strength was still not enough.

Ma Teng was overjoyed when he heard that his daughter had come to Luntai City, but when he saw that his daughter was like an eldest sister, giving orders, his face suddenly became unpleasant.

Fortunately, Chu Tian has no opinion, otherwise he is just bullying the general's son, this crime, Chu Tian may try to find trouble with Ma Teng in the future.

"You will send Wu'er, Xuan'er, and Ma Yunlu back to Xia City."

Chu Tian had just seen a pair of children living in Xia City, and shook his head again.

Luntai City is still unsafe, and the flames of war may burn to Luntai again.

Summer Liang didn't expect that so soon, the Western Regions would rekindle the beacon fire, and the scale of this great war swept through many civilizations, and many people would be killed: "I'll let people send them back." ”

"Daddy, and brother, aren't you going back?"

Ma Yunlu hugged Ma Teng's trouser legs.

Ma Teng picked up Ma Yunlu: "Dad and your brother will go to crusade against the enemy, and after the enemy is repulsed, I will go to Xia City to find you." During this time, don't make trouble for the general. ”

"Lu'er knows."

Ma Yunlu nodded seriously.

Ma Teng put Ma Yunlu down, and Ma Yunlu went to hug Xia Liang again: "Sister Xia." ”

"That's good."

It's cool in the summer, and it's obviously in a good mood.

Then Ma Yunlu waved his hand to Chu Tian: "Uncle General, come back alive." ”

“……”

Ma Teng was crazy in his heart, he could already see Chu Tian's face was pale.

Summer is cool and can't help but smile.

Chu Tian found that Ma Yunlu had always called himself uncle, could he really be old?

Chu Tian touched his stubble, he had been fighting in the Western Regions, but he forgot to shave off the stubble.

Although Chu Tian was a little sad, he still focused his energy on the next battle.

First of all, Catherine led Sophia, Harald and others, as well as the Poye cavalry and the Varangian guard, and left Luntai City with the little duke.

After Ekaterina let go of a little tsundere, she could come to Summer City from time to time.

She also had her own enemies to deal with - the mighty Golden Horde.

"Expedition to the Chagatai Khanate to see if there is a chance to capture Alimari."

Chu Tian temporarily checked the current points leaderboard.

First place, Han Empire, Chutian, with 620,000 points.

Second place, Han Empire, Huo An, with 570,000 points.

Third place, United States, Marshall, with 510,000 points.

Fourth place, Kingdom of Macedonia, Alexander, with 490,000 points.

Fifth place, Persian Empire, Ardashir, with 480,000 points.

Sixth place, Roman Republic, Constantine, 450,000 points.

Seventh place, Han Empire, Mingguan, 450,000 points.

Eighth place, Han Empire, Lao Qin, 430,000 points.

Ninth place, Grand Duchy of Moscow, Catherine, 370,000 points.

10th place, Holy Roman Empire, Hohenzollern, 350,000 points.

……

The lordship of the United States began to rise dramatically, indicating that the battlefield in the Americas was very fierce.

In the European theater, Macedonia, Rome, and the Holy Roman Empire's points increased rapidly, indicating that they were dealing with the Western barbarians.

Catherine was fighting with the Golden Horde and did not break out into a big war, so her points did not increase much, and her overall ranking fell.

"There's something in the United States......"

Chu Tian suspected that the characteristic of the United States was the suppression of the natives, otherwise this Marshall's points would have risen a little faster.

Huo arranged that there was a point for destroying the country in the second, and at the same time, Huo An's Western Regions Protectorate fought to death many soldiers, and Huo Qubing helped Huo An brush up points.

Thinking of maintaining the first place, Chutian believes that it is not enough insurance, and the United States and Macedonia may become competitors.

Therefore, it was necessary to make an expedition to the Chagatai Khanate.

"This expedition, because of the cold weather, consisted only of cavalry, infantry equipped with war horses, and crossbowmen, carrying some craftsmen, and conquering towns and tribes along the way to obtain supplies. When he arrived in the Chagatai Khanate, when he needed to attack the city, he forcibly recruited servant troops in the Chagatai Khanate and participated in the siege. ”

The expedition plan predicted by Chu Tian and the others was extraordinary.

In bad weather and terrain, the number of expeditionary forces should not be as large as possible, but rather less and more precise, otherwise the logistics will be quite difficult.

Therefore, the expeditionary force was only composed of elite troops, with Chu Tian out of 50,000, Lao Qin out of 30,000, Huo An out of 30,000, and Mu Ke out of 10,000, a total of 120,000.

This time, all the soldiers of the expeditionary force had to be equipped with war horses, and the heavy infantry and heavy cavalry even needed two or four war horses or pack horses, so that they could attack quickly and retreat quickly, saving time.

Otherwise, the long march would be a kind of torture, and it would give the Chagatai Khanate enough time to respond.

"Wei Qing, Huo Quai, and Lu Bu swept north of the Tianshan Mountains with 110,000 cavalry, and we swept west of the Tianshan Mountains with 120,000 troops."

The number of troops mobilized by Chutian and the Western Regions Protectorate reached an astonishing 230,000 people.

It is unimaginable to use such a force in the cold winter, and most of them will have to rely on the cattle and sheep of the Chagatai Khanate to successfully complete the supply. If necessary, capture a large city with a teleportation array, and use the teleportation array to make a complete supply.

This is the simple tactic of Chu Tian and the others.

Chu Tian deliberately brought two people - Liu Ye and Li Jie.

Liu Ye can increase the power of siege equipment, especially trebuchets, while Li Jie can quickly build various buildings or fortifications to shorten the construction time.

The abilities of these two people are indispensable for the expeditionary force.

In addition, Chu Tian also brought Zu Chongzhi, as well as the guide car, the divine doctor Hua Tuo.

Each of these special talents has its own special role.

"White Robe Army, Xuanjia Army, Knight Army, Shenji Battalion, Tiger Army, Yanjia ......"

Chu Tian counted the elite troops who went to attack the Chagatai Khanate.

The supply of the expeditionary force was limited, so only the most elite troops were eligible to participate in the expedition, and could not go out according to the size of the legion, so the elite of each legion could only be drawn separately and then reorganized into a corps of 50,000 men.

Chu Tian personally served as the commander of the corps.

The signs of Joan of Arc's pregnancy were already obvious, and Chu Tian asked her to return to Xia City to rest, resolutely not letting her follow the army.

In addition to Joan of Arc, there are also heroes such as Li Xiuning and Liang Hongyu who inspire morale, so Chutian is not panicked at all.

Old Qin selected 30,000 people from the elite of many Guanzhong legions, mainly Qin Ruishi and Sanhe cavalry.

Huo An's 30,000 people were mainly servant troops, with Ban Chao, Gao Xianzhi, Li Siye and other generals as deputy generals.

Huo Qing also asked to follow the expedition.

Probably learning this lesson, out of wanting to cultivate a candidate who could help him govern the Western Regions Protectorate at a critical moment, Huo An agreed to let his sister go on the expedition with him for the first time.

Wang Xuance was left by Huo An in the Western Regions Protectorate, responsible for suppressing the 36 countries of the Western Regions and providing logistics supplies.

With Wang Xuance in Luntai, it was difficult for the nobles of the 36 countries in the Western Regions to rebel after they were gradually stripped of power.

Mu Ke's Nanzhong Legion, the main generals are still Qin Liangyu and Vulture Bone, with the white pole soldiers and vine armor soldiers as the main force, only 10,000 people.

The war elephant troops she brought with her were almost all killed in the battle of Luntai, so they were not in the ranks of this expedition.

The expeditionary force seemed to have shrunk in size, but because of the reduced number of people, it was not so clumsy in action.

The Chagatai Khanate wanted to levy hundreds of thousands of troops to block the expeditionary force, and it also had to see if it could raise enough grain and grass for hundreds of thousands of troops.

In addition, Chu Tian's "Heavenly Khan" trait and Huo An's "Western Regions Protector" trait can both recruit and disband servant armies in enemy countries, reducing the consumption of supplies and troops, so theoretically you don't need to carry too many low-level troops, just carry elites.

At the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, there are 110,000 expeditionary forces of Wei Qing and Huo Quai.

According to the assumptions of the princes of the Han Empire, if Wei Qing and Huo Qubing successfully defeated Subutai at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, then Wei Qing and Huo Qubing would go to the Chagatai Khanate to join forces with the Han Empire Expeditionary Force and drink the Ili River.
