Chapter 634: The Princes of Monan

In Toei, Hokkaido, various daimyo gathered troops and horses to crusade against Ezo here.

For the Toei Daimyo, Ezo belonged to the barbarian clan, and the various daimyo took advantage of this opportunity to compete for the position of the shogun of Seiyi.

Ezo was defeated by the Daimyo coalition in the Battle of Hokkaido.

However, after Takeda Shingen's army attacked Ezo and won, Takeda Shingen learned that his territory had been invaded by Oda Nobunaga's forces, and Takeda Shingen couldn't help but be furious and immediately led his army back to the territory.

When the threat of Ezo was lifted, Oda Nobunaga did not hesitate to order the legions remaining in Owari Province to join Tokugawa Ieyasu's legions at the first opportunity, and Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu teleported to Mikawa Province one step earlier than Takeda Shingen to join forces to defeat Takeda Shingen.

Takeda Shingen was severely defeated by the Han Empire in the Third National War, and at this time, Oda Nobunaga immediately turned against each other after conquering Ezo, and a decisive battle broke out between the two sides!

A battle that decided the people of the world began in this way under the planning of Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Thinking of the already large Oda Nobunaga power, Takeda Shingen had to find a way to fight Oda Nobunaga quickly.

Oda Nobunaga had already conquered all the small forces around him who opposed him, and even the head of the Nagamune Ibu of Shikoku Island submitted to Oda Nobunaga.

The sudden outbreak of the Great War seems to have been initiated by Oda Nobunaga, but in fact it was also a decision that Takeda Shingen had to make.

If it continues to delay, the economic gap between the two sides will become wider and wider until it cannot be reversed.

The combined forces of Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu totaled 180,000, while Takeda Shingen could only send 70,000 troops to deal with the offensive of Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Oda Nobunaga met with his ally Tokugawa Ieyasu, Oda Nobunaga commanded Kinoshita Hideyoshi, Takenaka Hanbei, Shibata Katsuie, Takikawa Ichiyi and other Warring States generals, Minamoto Yoshitsune, Minamoto Yorito, Sakaue Tamura Maro, Taira Shomen and other ancient generals went on the expedition, and behind Tokugawa Ieyasu was Honda Tadakatsu, known as the first fierce general of the Warring States, holding a dragonfly cut in his hand.

"Ishiyama Honganji, Kishu Saga, Asai, and Asakura were all destroyed by me. The total number of Shi Gao we have is at least five times that of Takeda Shingen, or even more, and no matter how fierce the Kai Tiger is, it is impossible for us to be the opponent. The world is in my hands. ”

Oda Nobunaga rode a war horse, standing side by side with Tokugawa Ieyasu, and hundreds of generals of various sizes behind him, watching the endless army march towards Takeda Shingen's sphere of influence.

Because of the addition of players, which brought new concepts of conquest, the daimyo of the Eastern Ying Warring States have realized that it is not just necessary to make the other party submit, it is best to destroy the hostile forces with them as much as possible, as in the Eastern Han Dynasty, otherwise it will be a capricious betrayal.

Now none of the daimyo could withstand the betrayal of his retainers and other daimyos.

Tokugawa Ieyasu was carefully handling his relationship with Oda Nobunaga.

Oda Nobunaga's power expanded rapidly because of the support of players, while Tokugawa Ieyasu's sphere of influence was sandwiched between Oda Nobunaga and Takeda Shingen, and it was difficult to expand, so he could only wait for opportunities.

Oda Nobunaga, on the other hand, has conquered Gyeonggi, the Kii Peninsula, Shikoku Island and other places, and has several times the number of Ishitaka of Tokugawa Ieyasu and Takeda Shingen, that is, grain production.

Oda Nobunaga has always avoided a confrontation with Takeda Shingen head-on, and after breaking the siege network, he finally attacked Takeda Shingen.

The economic gap between Shingen Takeda and him has reached several times.

"This is a firebolt from Tanegashima, and there are so many of them!"

Tokugawa Ieyasu noticed that Oda Nobunaga's corps, in addition to the standing army, was also equipped with a large number of Tanegashima iron cannons!

Tanegashima's specialty is the iron cannon, this kind of iron cannon, even the Shenji Battalion under Chu Tian's command, has purchased several thousand.

In fact, in "Lord", the price of arquebuses is very expensive, and it is because of the discovery of the Jiaodong gold mine that Chutian has the spare money to buy iron cannons from Dongying's Tanegashima Island.

After all, Chutian still has a million army, hundreds of thousands of officials, and miscellaneous servants to support.

The average Toei daimyo can't afford to buy thousands of arquebuses, while Oda Nobunaga has firearms and is armed with at least a few thousand arquebuses!

Tokugawa Ieyasu saw Oda Nobunaga, who was gradually getting rich, and probably knew that Oda Nobunaga was developing silently during this time, and after annexing the surrounding small forces, he had grown into a giant.

At least in Toei, with a population of 20 or 30 million, Oda Nobunaga has a population of about 10 million, and its accumulated population advantage is unimaginable, even if it is a war of attrition, it can drag the tiger Takeda Shingen down.

Moreover, Oda Nobunaga also has a strong firearms unit, which is a special branch of Oda Nobunaga's troops.

"I understand why you have such a strong determination to win, and it seems that this time we can take the head of the tiger. As long as the tiger is dead, there is no one left to stop you. ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu's tone was already somewhat respectful.

With Oda Nobunaga's ability, coupled with the accumulated talent and population advantages, it was basically a matter of time before he unified Toei and became the general of the Seiyi.

Without the change of Honnoji, then no one could prevent Oda Nobunaga from becoming a man of the world.

Takeda Shingen had a chance, but he fought with Uesugi Kenshin and was severely damaged by the Han Empire in the national war, giving Oda Nobunaga time to rise.

The big demon king with the support of players is already unstoppable.

Of course, this is in Toei.

"The Han Empire is already preparing for an expedition to Mobei ......!"

On the way to defeat Takeda Shingen, Oda Nobunaga received information from the Han Empire - the Han Empire intends to directly destroy the Mongol Empire, the world boss of the barbarian camp, Temujin!

According to Oda Nobunaga's vision, the ideal outcome should be that Temujin and the Han Empire were both defeated, and then he would reap the benefits after unifying Dongying. However, the princes of the Han Empire, less than a year after the start of the Fourth National War, were already preparing to destroy the Mongol Empire!

In less than a year, the civilizations that fell under the hands of the princes of the Han Empire included the Chagatai Khanate, the Ogedai Khanate, the Buyeo Khanate, and the Western Xia Kingdom.

If the Mongol Empire was defeated, the Fourth National War would have ended prematurely, and Oda Nobunaga's plans would have been completely ruined.

"If the Han Empire can really destroy the Mongol Empire, then there is no business for us, for the sake of today, take down the Tiger of Kai as soon as possible, as well as the Dragon of Echigo, and issue an order that there is nothing to do in the world, and end the troubled times."

Oda Nobunaga was out of reach, and he was not necessarily qualified to be involved in the pinnacle war between the Han Empire and the Mongol Empire.

Both the Han Empire and the Mongol Empire were stronger than the Eastern Empire, and even if the entire Eastern Ying Daimyo joined forces, they would probably not be able to gain the advantage in the war with Temujin, especially on the steppes.

Kinoshita Hideyoshi then learned the news, and couldn't help but secretly exclaim pity: "If the four islands are unified at this time, it may be the time to seize the Goryeo Kingdom." ”

In Monan Dragon City, Li Mu and Di Qing were training, and the lord of Monan formed the Monan Legion, selected the elite from the Monan cavalry, and obtained a total of 150,000 cavalry, of which Li Mu commanded 100,000 and Di Qing commanded 50,000.

This time, the Monan Legion was ready to cooperate with the expeditionary forces of other princes to sweep Mobei.

The Han Empire's princes' plan to sweep through Mobei, the movement of more than a million troops, unable to conceal the strategy, Temujin was already aware of it.

Even if Temujin was aware of it, the princes of the Han Empire still planned to sweep through Mobei with absolute strength and destroy the threatening Mongol Empire.

"Yangzhou Mutongque began to transfer troops to this place a month later."

Fan Zhongyan came to Li Mu and Di Qing and greeted them in advance.

Li Mu asked, "How many soldiers and horses does he plan to send?" ”

"About 100,000."

"I'm afraid there will be a million troops on this expedition."

"If it weren't for the long distance, there would have been more than a million troops."

"So many soldiers and horses are on an expedition to the desert, it is really a grand event."

Fan Zhongyan, Li Mu, and Di Qing discussed the expedition to Mobei, and mentioned the million-strong army to crusade against Mobei, and their hearts were rippling.

In the main world, the Han Empire rarely used such a large expeditionary force.

In the last expedition to Luntai, the Han Empire only sent 500,000 troops, but this time, in order to sweep away the Mobei where Temujin was dominant, the Han Empire directly used a million troops!

The army of one million is already the limit of the supply of the princes of the Han Empire at present, if there are more troops, the grain and grass cannot keep up, and they will only starve to death.

Plundering cattle and sheep for supplies is unrealistic.

An army of a million, all of which were plundered, would have starved to death if Temujin had ordered the herdsmen to retreat further north.

The most ideal way of supply is a combination of grain transportation, grazing, and plundering.

Huo Qubing can successfully raid, the main reason is that he carries elite cavalry, there are not many troops, and the supply pressure is also very small.

In order to prepare for this expedition, the cattle and sheep kept by the lord of Monan will be used as rations and driven by the expeditionary force to Mobei.

This method of marching was not much different from that of the Mongol expeditions.

For the sake of insurance, military vehicles are still used to transport grain and grass as a backup.

The white light of the teleportation array of Monan Dragon City flashed, and Yangzhou Mu Tongque and several generals arrived at Monan Dragon City first to discuss the supply of the legion.

Sun Jian followed behind him, and at the same time, there was a brave military general behind Tong Que.

This military general has a majestic body, and he looks at Di Qing and the others, and seems to have a little contempt.

This is a fierce general.

Di Qing could probably feel that the strength of the generals was not low, and most of them were fierce generals who were regarded as guards by Tongque.

Ordinary princes will carry a highly armed general by their side to serve as their own guard to prevent being killed by the enemy's cavalry raid.

In addition to Sun Jian, Xie Xuanhe, and the guards, Tongque also brought Song Jiang, and with the characteristics of Song Jiang, it can attract many peasant army generals to come and take refuge, which has an additional attraction to Liangshanbo's military generals.

"Have you discussed how to get in?"

Tongque took the initiative to find Liu Hu, the lord of Monan.

Liu Hu replied: "The princes have not yet arrived. ”

"Why haven't they come yet?"

"The time is set for today, but it is not yet time."

Expedition to Mobei, for the sake of fairness, the princes of the Han Empire chose to discuss the deployment of the expedition to Mobei in Monan Dragon City.

Monan Dragon City is still a neutral city at present.

"Bronze Sparrow? I didn't expect you to be the first prince to come here. ”

Jiaozhou Shepherd King Defa arrived, followed by Li Dingguo, Fu Youde and other generals.

"I didn't participate in the expedition to the Western Regions, how could I miss such a grand event in this expedition to Mobei. And I'm missing the points of the sailor's drawings, and I want to go to Mobei to brush the points. What about the other princes? ”

"They haven't arrived yet. These people are much more pompous than us. ”

Tongque and Wang Defa waited for a while, and the punctual old Qin took Lu Bu and Yang Dayan to Monan Dragon City.

"You've pacified Yamagoe?"

Lao Qin knew that Tongque and Wang Defa were facing a lot of rebellions in Shanyue, so he asked about the situation of the two of them pacifying Shanyue.

"Shanyue has a population of more than one million, and it lives in the deep mountains and old forests, so it is difficult to completely pacify, but the counties have been ordered to suppress and divide Shanyue from time to time."

Tongque also had a headache when he mentioned the populous Shanyue forces.

Soon, Mingguan also arrived, bringing Chang Yuchun and Yao Guangxiao.

Chang Yuchun has been fighting, and the whole person is standing in place, exuding a solemn atmosphere.

"The matter of the Liao State and the Jin State has finally come to an end."

Mingguan was a little tired.

The Jin State was hit hard by it, and the Liao State was forced to withdraw from the Buyeo State, and Mingguan finally had time to reorganize Liaodong and other places.

Next, only Chu Tian was left unarrived.
