"The Golden Horde's Jochi and Batu are looting for gold and silver, shrinking their forces, and are unwilling to engage in a decisive battle with our Grand Duchy of Moscow, and I suspect that they are deliberately preserving their strength."

Catherine took a sip of tea and informed the princes of the Luntai Metropolitan Protectorate of the movements of the Golden Horde.

"You mean, the Golden Horde may use the teleportation array to deploy troops and horses, under the orders of Temujin, to concentrate the forces of several khanates at the same time and attack a single target?"

"Exactly."

"Temujin has already relied on part of the forces of the Chagatai Khanate in this battle of Luntai, so your speculation is entirely possible, and it is not a castle in the air. The Golden Horde had an army of the eldest sons and a cowardly army of the Khanate, and once it joined forces with Temujin and Chagatai, it would be a disaster for any civilization. And the Ilkhanate, which dragged mines. ”

Chutian personally fought with the cavalry of Temujin and Chagatai, and knew that Temujin joined forces with the Chagatai Khanate and already had a relatively terrible military strength.

Fortunately, Huo An eliminated the Ögedai Khanate in advance, and Ögedai could not replenish the losses, so he could only choose to return to Temujin's account.

The Golden Horde borrowed troops from Temujin, and Temujin's forces were quite terrifying.

In history, the Golden Horde had millions of square kilometers of territory, dominated Eastern Europe, West Asia, and Central Asia, and the predecessor of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, the Rus' principalities, bowed to the Golden Horde after the failure of the rebellion against the Golden Horde.

Catherine's information was very important to the princes of the Han Empire.

Catherine continued: "The Golden Horde may have three objectives, to assist Temujin in destroying you, to assist in the destruction of the Western Asian coalition forces by Tuolei, or to wait for Temujin and Chagatai to attack my territory. ”

Old Qin's expression was solemn: "Either way, it is extremely dangerous to let the Golden Horde join forces with other khanates, or Temujin. ”

Chu Tian, Huo An, Xu Fengnian and others all knew that the Han Empire had suppressed Temujin too badly, and the Golden Horde might regain his blood.

Temujin was the ruler of the four khanates, which still obeyed Temujin's orders.

"What are you going to do?"

Chutian believed that Catherine's arrival was not only to convey such information to the princes of the Han Empire, but also to find the Han Empire for cooperation.

The two sides had a basis for cooperation in the second and third national wars, and reluctantly established an alliance, and in the fourth national war, they were more trustworthy than civilizations such as the Persian Empire.

"It's simple. As long as the Mongol Empire and the three khanates were attacked at the same time, then Temujin could not join forces with the other khanates. Once they choose to join forces, their capital will fall, the popularity and security of the territory will decline, they will not be able to collect taxes and recruit troops, and eventually, because of the lack of supplies, the army will be dragged down. ”

"The Grand Duchy of Moscow attacked the Golden Horde, the Persian Empire and the Arab Empire attacked the Ilkhanate, the Western Regions Protectorate attacked the Chagatai Khanate, and the Han Empire attacked the Mongol Empire in the north. If you attack one empire or three khanates at the same time, they will not be able to work together. ”

Catherine spoke of a vast strategy.

According to Catherine's plan, the Han Empire, the Persian Empire, the Arab Empire, and the Grand Duchy of Moscow concentrated the forces of the four empires, and attacked Temujin and the remaining three khanates at the same time, so that they could not be defeated individually!

Such a strategy requires four powerful civilizations to send troops at about the same time.

Huo An had long had the idea of destroying the Chagatai Khanate: "When will the army be sent?" ”

Catherine said: "After the snow melts, what will happen? ”

"What do you think about the Persian Empire and the Arab Empire?"

"They are fighting with Tuolei, Hülegü and others, and they may not be able to gain the upper hand, in other words, they have no choice."

"Let's think about it."

Chu Tian closed his eyes.

Generally, to attack Mobei, the most suitable time is to choose the beginning of spring, and before the cold winter comes, the main force needs to withdraw from Mobei.

Otherwise, in the cold winter, the expeditionary force will be trapped in Mobei and will freeze to death on the Mongolian plateau.

Temujin and others, who were already familiar with the cold climate of Mobei, would not care much about the cold winter in Mobei.

Therefore, the time for the crusade against Mobei is generally set in March and April.

In fact, Catherine's proposal undoubtedly had a huge attraction for the princes of the Han Empire.

The princes of the Han Empire had the idea of an expedition to Mobei, and after the foreshadowing of the third epic battle "Battle of Mobei", many princes of the Han Empire were familiar with the road in and out of Mobei, and there was basically no problem of getting lost.

If the Grand Duchy of Moscow, the Persian Empire, and the Arab Empire could cooperate with the offensive of the Han Empire and put pressure on the Golden Horde and the Ilkhanate, so that they could not use the teleportation array to go to Mobei, it would undoubtedly reduce the pressure on the Han Empire's expedition to Mobei.

The only problem is ......

"The strength of the Western Regions Protectorate has been damaged, and after only a winter's rest, the temporarily recruited recruits can only be trained to level 30, and they should not be able to conquer the Chagatai Khanate."

Chu Tian had such worries.

The Western Regions Protectorate can capture the Chagatai Khanate within two years, which is already good, let alone an expedition to the Chagatai Khanate immediately after the cold winter.

Huo An said: "The Seljuk Empire has a feud with the Chagatai Khanate, and it is completely possible to take advantage of the hatred of the Seljuk Empire and form an alliance with it to attack the Chagatai Khanate. I think that the sultan of the Seljuk Empire, defeated in the Ili River Valley, should have hated Chagatai to the core. ”

"In this way, it will be the five civilizations that will attack the forces of Temujin."

As the leader of the barbarian camp, if the five civilizations launched an offensive at the same time, it is estimated that he would not be able to bear it.

As long as the five civilizations cooperate tacitly, it is completely feasible!

Although the legions of Chutian's expedition to the Western Regions have suffered losses, the commanders of Mo Nan, such as Cao Cao, Li Mu, and Yue Fei, have been training, and the average level of the legions can be increased from 30-40 to 40-60 in the cold winter, and the combat power will be further enhanced.

Chutian also captured a group of servant troops.

Several of the big names who decided the structure of the Overworld consulted, and Hoan asked Catherine to arrange a place for Catherine to live in Luntai City.

Not to mention the relationship between Catherine and Chutian, just the strength of Catherine who can deal with the Golden Horde alone is enough to have a place in Luntai City.

"Chutian ......"

Huo Qing had been standing outside the Lord's Mansion, beckoning to Chu Tian after everyone's discussion.

"Miss Huo Qing, what's the matter?"

"You can call me Qingqing, this time Luntai City can be successfully lifted, thanks to you...... Although my brother doesn't seem to be very grateful, I know that without your help, the defenders besieging Luntai City would not have left so easily...... If you want something in return, you can mention it to me, it's okay. ”

Huo Qing plucked up his courage and thanked Chu Tian.

"The reward between men may not be the same as you think......"

Chu Tian knew that although Huo An did not say anything, it was estimated that if Chu Tian's sphere of influence expanded to the Western Regions, as long as he promised Huo An, Huo An would surrender soon.

Chu Tian could obtain the Western Regions Protectorate without much effort, saving several years of time.

This is a long-term reward.

In Huo Qing's opinion, he thought that Huo An didn't know how to repay at all, so he was worried that Chu Tian would be angry because of this.

"Really?"

"Miss Qingqing, please don't mind, your brother knows how to measure everything. If nothing else, then take your leave. ”

Chu Tian knew that the Western Regions Protectorate needed time to recuperate, and only Huo An's influence could quickly restore the rule of the Western Regions Protectorate.

Huo Qing was a little disappointed when he saw Chu Tian leaving.

After repelling the combined forces of Temujin, Chagatai and Ogedei, heavy snow fell from the sky, and Luntai City was rarely calm.

Chu Tian returned to his temporary mansion in Luntai City and found that Huo An had placed Catherina's residence next to his mansion.

Chu Tian couldn't help frowning, Huo An was really good, brother, brother.

A tightly wrapped little hairman is following behind Sophia, a toddler in Handan.

Maozi's descendants are really tough, they are so young, but they are not afraid of the cold winter......

"Is this your child?"

Chutian was familiar with Catherine's adjutant, and Sophia also came to the Eastern Han Dynasty at one time to send Don River stallions.

Sophia stared at the oriental man, but she was a little funny, and picked up Xiao Maozi, who fell from time to time: "This is the child of Lord Duke." ”

"Catherina's child ......"

Chu Tian looked at this son and found that his pupil color was actually the black of an Easterner, and his hair color was also dark, and his skin was leaning towards the fairness of a Westerner.

No way......

"Could this be ......?"

Chu Tian didn't hear that Catherine had promised anyone's proposal.

The Grand Duchy of Moscow also did not want its territory to fall into the hands of outsiders because of marriage.

"This is my illegitimate child with someone else, and it has nothing to do with you."

Catherine originally came out to look for her son, but when she saw Chutian, she thought of the provocation of the summer cool, and she was angry.

"How old is he......"

Chu Tian was not so easily deceived, he carefully calculated the time, and the age of this little kid, and the time he was with Catherine when the third national war was about to end......

"If I say no, it's not, Sophia, wait and bring Peter Tianlovich Chu back to the house."

Ekaterina turned and left.

“……”

Chu Tian was speechless for a while.

The name couldn't be more obvious.

"I think we need to talk about ......"

Chu Tian entered the mansion.

If this little Maozi is really his son, then things will be more troublesome.

"Harald, you lead the Varangian guard to guard the gate, and no one is allowed to enter."

Sophia ordered the burly leader of the Viking warriors that Chu Tian saw to guard the gate of the mansion.

Harald, the last Viking hero, leads a band of Viking berserkers, like iron buckets, blocking the gates.

"This is not your son...... No...... It's not ......"

Catherine flatly denied it.

However, in the end, Catherine still gave in, because she couldn't hold it anymore and pushed Chu Tian back.

Sophia is also outside with the little duke learning to walk in the snow.
