"A cavalry consisting of Mongols, Serjuk Turks, about 100,000 men, broke through a fortress of the Kushan Empire and marched south, not knowing its specific goal!"

The Western Regions Protectorate was alarmed by the information obtained by the spies, and Ogedai aimed his troops at South Asia, and the Protectorate of the Western Regions could not do anything about himself, and hung high, because the expansion of Ogedei's power would definitely threaten the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

No one knows how long it will take for the unification war within the Han Empire to end, and if Wokotai grows stronger and then intervenes in the war within the Han Empire, then the situation will be quite serious.

There are currently two factions in the Western Regions Protectorate, Huo An's native faction and Xu Fengnian's Xiliang faction, who jointly guard the Western Regions of the Han Empire.

Huo An's faction, there are generals Huo Quzhi, Ban Chao, Wang Xuance, Chen Tang, Wang Zhongsi, Wusun Wang and others.

Xu Fengnian's faction includes Ma Teng, Ma Chao, Han Sui, Yang Shihou (Silver Spear Effect Jiedu), Li Hu (Eight Great Pillars of Western Wei), Duguxin (Eight Great Pillars of Western Wei) and others.

Chutian's request to them was to be optimistic about the Western Regions, monitor Central Asia and South Asia, and at least ensure that the Western Regions were not in danger of falling until the Han Empire was unified.

The two groups, plus a population of 10 million, were enough to defend the Western Regions.

"Was the purpose of Ögedei the Kushan Empire, or was it the Mughal Empire in India? Are we going to send troops? ”

Hoan hesitated.

A cavalry of about 100,000 men suddenly attacked the hinterland of the Kushan Empire, and the purpose of the operation was unknown, and the main general was unknown.

Xu Fengnian looked at the map carefully, he had a feud with Wokotai and Yelu Dashi, and at this time Wokotai and Yelu Dashi were still his biggest enemies.

These two men ruled the Seljuk Empire, the Kingdom of Khorezm, and wielded immense power.

Xu Fengnian's purpose in staying in the Western Regions was also so that one day he could slash these two enemies.

However, he never found a chance.

Wokotai and Yelu Dashi did not fight with the Western Regions Protectorate again.

"We can send a cavalry in the Ili Valley to attack the Seljuk Empire. Not necessarily to confront Ogedei, but to interfere with their movements. ”

"Chu Zimou should be waiting for the national war reward to settle at this time, and we can only rely on our own strength."

Huo An knew that a group of princes and kings, including Chu Tian, were all waiting for the next year's reward to be settled, and after obtaining a batch of supplies, they would try to forge ahead.

If you get a new batch of generals, you may have to recruit soldiers for them and send them out for training.

"The Mughal Empire of India, in the second year of the national war, killed two million young ......"

Here, Hoan got another shocking piece of news.

Everyone believed that the following year, the great battle between the lords of the Western Continent and Attila had lost the most soldiers.

But in fact, in the great war in the South Asian subcontinent, the number of casualties was the most staggering, and two million young men died.

"Could it be...... The target of Ögedei is the Mughal Empire of India?! How is it possible, the population there is at least ten times more than the population that Ogedai currently has! ”

Huo An was shocked because of his speculation.

However, it is not impossible to rule a large empire with a small population......

"The Mughals in India lost two million soldiers and villagers because of the Deccan War, and if it really makes Ogedai successful, it will be really a trouble. Inform Xia Wangfu of this matter and see how Xia Wangfu responds. ”

Huo An probably sensed Wokotai's ambitions, but he threw himself into a trap.

There is no shortage of generals in the Western Regions, what is lacking is the population, the defense is more than enough, and the offense is insufficient.

With a population of 10 million, if you are involved in the Central Asian war, or even the South Asian war, if you are not careful, you will lose the Western Regions.

……

In the Xia Wangfu, Chutian was determining the establishment of the Monan and Mobei legions.

The Khitan Department set up a legion, 60,000 cavalry, and the commander was Xiao Xuan, who commanded the Khitan generals, and belonged to the forces under the direct control of the Xia Palace.

The Xiongnu Department set up two legions, each with 50,000 cavalry, a total of 100,000 cavalry.

The Xianbei Department set up two legions, each with 50,000 cavalry, a total of 100,000 cavalry.

The Mongol Department set up four legions, each with 50,000 cavalry, for a total of 200,000 cavalry.

The strength of the three major divisions combined, there are already eight legions, 400,000 cavalry, check and balance each other, the generals are appointed by the Xia Wangfu, and the troops come from various tribes, re-disrup, to avoid the collective rebellion of the cavalry of the same tribe.

For example, a Xiongnu legion, its strength may come from dozens of Xiongnu tribes, not necessarily one heart.

At the same time, each legion sent strategists and logistics officers as supervisors to prevent rebellion.

Conquer Mo Nan and Mo Bei, and let Chu Tian get a large number of available cavalry.

In addition to the three major departments, Monan and Mobei, there are actually more than 100,000 Han troops stationed, but this army is mainly used to defend and supervise the various departments of the grassland.

The troops carried by the south and north of the desert are as many as 500,000.

The Mobei Army, Prince Yan, Fan Zhongyan, and Di Qing are responsible for management.

The Monan Army is under the jurisdiction of Hu Ma, Liu Hu, Li Mu, Zhao Hao, and Zhao Kuo.

"Ogedai is fighting the idea of the Mughal Empire in India?"

Chutian approved the expansion plan of Mobei and Monan, and established eight nomadic cavalry regiments and two Han cavalry regiments, a total of ten regiments, to display the north, and prepare to be used in the unification war in the future, and he received a notice from Huo An.

The Protectorate of the Western Regions suspected that Ögedei was intending to attack Delhi, the capital of the Mughal Empire in India.

It's a crazy idea.

However, Chu Tian thought that the Mughal Empire in India was not a normal civilization, and perhaps Ogedei's bold actions were really likely to succeed.

Risk also means great rewards.

The plains of the Indus River, the plains of the Ganges, the number of people that can be fed is staggering.

"If Ögedei wants to conquer the Mughals in India, he will definitely send a military general who can drive the servant army, so that he can enter the South Asian subcontinent with a small number of troops."

Chu Tian didn't plan to remind the Mughal lords of India that it seemed good to let Ogedei go to plague the Mughal Empire in India.

After Chu Tian replied to Huo An, he came to the front yard, and Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang brothers came to visit Chu Tian.

Zhuge Jin was twenty years old at the time, and he was already a civil official in Langya State.

Zhuge Liang was thirteen years old and still studying.

The Xiliang Ma family, the Langya Zhuge family, the Cao family in Qian County, and the Mi family in Qi County, these family forces are still inevitably formed.

Chu Tian did not deliberately suppress these families, at least for now, the families were within the scope of control.

It is impossible for a family to disappear, and where there is power, a family will be formed.

Zhuge Liang is the candidate for Minister of the Interior left by Chutian to his son, so he is not in a hurry to pull out the seedlings to help him.

Historically, Zhuge Liang was twenty-six or seventeen years old, and only then did he come out to assist Liu Bei.

Chu Tian had already introduced Chu Wu to Zhuge Liang to win over the relationship between the two people.

Although Zhuge Liang is young, he has already sensed Chu Tian's intentions, and he attaches great importance to Chu Tian, although he is calm on the surface, he is grateful in his heart.

"Ziyu, are you used to playing for the two?"

The two that Chutian said were Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong.

At present, Zhuge Jin is following the two of them to practice.

Zhuge Jin said: "The two gentlemen are great talents, and Ziyu has benefited a lot in the past two years. ”

"Very good. Kong Ming, do you have Sang Hongyang, Fang Xuanling, Wei Wuji, Le Yi, Sun Bin and others to study hard? ”

Zhuge Liang sat upright: "All the gentlemen are talents, Kong Ming has studied hard, but I am afraid that there is not enough time, it is difficult to learn completely, and I will live up to the trust of King Xia." ”

"Don't rush, take your time, you need to learn the art of manipulating people, you don't have to do everything."

Chu Tian was worried that Zhuge Liang would develop a personality of being hands-on again.

In fact, doing everything in person will shorten Zhuge Liang's lifespan, which is not conducive to the Minister of the Interior as Wu'er.

Chu Tian often acts as a shopkeeper because he doesn't have that much energy to deal with everything.

For many things, he just needs to determine the general direction and let his professional subordinates deal with it.

It is not good for one's own body and not conducive to cultivating talents.

At present, Chutian's forces are not short of civil and military generals, so there is no need.

"Yes......"

Zhuge Liang was thoughtful.

When Chu Tian was talking to Brother Zhuge , he was suddenly interrupted by a system prompt.

"Ding! The barbarians either declined or merged into traditional civilizations, so the Fourth National War, which was originally scheduled to last for three years, ended a year early, and the system bonuses obtained by all barbarian civilizations disappeared. ”

Not only Chu Tian, but all the emperors, kings, and princes who were waiting to use the points were alarmed, and the time to come was still coming.

In August of the tenth year of the liege calendar, the feudal empire rose to prominence, and the rewards that all the lords focused on began to be liquidated, and a new list of exchangeable items was opened.

This time, the list of items that can be exchanged has increased a lot compared to last year, and there are also some special items that can be exchanged using national battle points.

"Ding! The Fourth National War, the second year reward settlement ......"
