Chapter 600: The Assembly of the Mongol Kings (Addendum 12/20)
Temujin sat in the main seat, and the shoulder wounded by the Shenji battalion was tied with gauze, and the injury did not fully recover.
Below, the rulers of the Ögedai and the three khanates were divided into left and right, each with its own people.
After the fall of the Ögedai Khanate, he simply returned to Temujin's tent as a general, who raised him as his heir and was responsible for the internal affairs of the empire and the three khanates.
Jerodashi was given to Ogedai by Temujin to assist the future second Great Khan.
Below, the two sons who have not appeared on the battlefield in the Western Regions, Jochi and Tuolei, fought in Eastern Europe and West Asia, and at this time, they used the teleportation array to arrive in the Ili River Valley and participate in the conference of kings.
In the cold winter, the khanates have stopped fighting one after another, and if their territory has any changes, they can use the teleportation array to return as soon as possible.
After Jochi's death, his son Batu, who had even more terrifying military talents than Jochi, commanded the army of the eldest sons.
In addition to Batu, there were also generals from the Golden Horde.
Behind Tuolei, his sons Möngke, Kublai Khan, Hülegü and others, as well as other generals of the Ilkhanate, were also sharp.
The son of Tuolei, who inherited the talent of Tuolei, produced so many talents that the Persian Empire suffered heavy losses and had to cooperate with the Arab Empire.
And behind Chagatai, the cavalry hero discovered by Chagatai, Timur, became Chagatai's most important henchman.
Timur's talents, Chagatai was not even willing to introduce them to Temujin, leaving him in the Chagatai Khanate to serve himself.
Chagatai did not know that Timur's attributes had not yet reached their peak at this time, and Timur was also a great conqueror.
Historically, after the great conqueror Timur learned that Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Meng Yuan and established the Ming Dynasty, he led 200,000 troops to the east, intending to destroy the Ming Dynasty and re-establish the Mongol Empire, but on the way, Timur died of illness and the expedition to the Ming Dynasty was terminated.
Otherwise, the battle between Timur and Zhu Yuanzhang will be a battle between dragons and tigers.
If he had introduced Timur to Temujin, perhaps something could have changed.
But there was no if.
"Second brother, who is this?"
Tuo Lei noticed Timur standing behind Chagatai, who seemed to have a sharp air and was very human.
"A brave ten thousand households, in the Great War of Luntai, he killed more enemy soldiers than he lost as a thousand households, and promoted ten thousand households."
Chagatai is just a passing pass.
"Oh."
Tuo Lei still glanced at Timur more and gave him a look.
Timur, who was standing behind Chagatai, seemed to feel the solicitation of the mines, and his heart was a little shaken.
Among the sons of Temujin, the military ability of the tow mine is the strongest, and Chagatai is still a grade behind the tow mine.
At present, the Chagatai Khanate has been hit hard, while the Ilkhanate is developing better, and if it takes refuge in the Ilkhanate, it may have a better future.
Jerodashi stood behind Okotai and looked at the people who had participated in the assembly of kings.
Temujin's four sons, each with their own team and elite, almost all of them were assisted by famous generals, and if this force was gathered together, it was really invincible.
In the decisive battle between the Luntai State and the Han Empire Expeditionary Force, Temujin and the Chagatai Khanate used only part of their troops.
Of course, because it was an expedition, the Han Empire only used a small part of its troops.
Even so, it can be seen how terrible it was after the Mongol Empire joined forces with the three khanates.
In the 12th and 14th centuries, the strong cavalry heroes were almost always above the assembly of kings.
Temujin himself still has the most luxurious lineup of military generals, such as Subutai, Mu Huali, Jebe, Borshu, Chilaowen and others, who are still alive.
The khanates still obeyed Temujin's orders.
"According to the report of our scouts in Luntai City, the Han Empire summoned the Seljuk Empire, the Persian Empire, the Arab Empire, and the Grand Duchy of Moscow in Luntai City. The intention is clear, to destroy us. We cannot sit idly by. ”
Temujin sensed the five empires and had decided to join forces against him.
This was not just a war between him and the Han Empire, but a decisive battle for the entire Eastern Continent.
At the beginning of the Fourth National War, Temujin and the Four Great Khanates were on the offensive, and now, the Five Great Civilizations were on the offensive, and they were on the defensive.
Chagatai snorted coldly: "The Sultan of the Seljuk Empire is the defeated general of my subordinates, this time, I will definitely kill the head of the Sultan of the Seljuk Empire and use it as a drinking vessel." ”
"Don't underestimate the enemy, the Western Regions Protectorate is very close to your territory, the Han Empire's Western Regions Protectorate may send troops to assist the Seljuk Empire, and you will face an offensive from the east and west."
After three defeats in three battles, Temujin changed from being arrogant at the beginning to being cautious.
The Mongol Empire and the three khanates could not be defeated one after another, otherwise the national fortunes would be ruined.
"Please rest assured, if the Seljuk Empire comes with 100,000 cavalry, the child will swallow it, and if it comes with 200,000 cavalry, destroy it, come with 300,000 cavalry, and refuse it."
Although Chagatai could not defeat the expeditionary force of the Han Empire, he was confident that he would defeat the army of the Seljuk Empire.
Jochi and Tuolei were silent, waiting for Temujin's deployment.
The great war between the Chagatai Khanate and the Seljuk Empire had little to do with the two khanates.
Unless Temujin spoke out and asked the Golden Horde and the Ilkhanate to support the Chagatai Khanate, they would not easily send troops to help.
The Golden Horde and the Ilkhanate also had their enemies.
Jochi and Tuolei were not generous enough to use their own khanate's forces to relieve the sieges of other khanates.
"Ögedei, you stay with Yelu Dashi, recruit soldiers and horses in the Chagatai Khanate, Khorezm country, for your new territory. Rule Khorezm and form an army of servants there. ”
Temujin finally spoke.
"Yes."
Ögedei's heart suddenly became ecstatic, and Temujin divided Khorezm into his territory, and he could legitimately recruit soldiers and horses from the Chagatai Khanate!
In this way, he and Jerodashi can get a cavalry of Khorezm!
Chagatai was dissatisfied, but did not dare to refute the decision of his father Khan.
It was not only Chagatai but also Jochi and Tuolei, who kept each other in check and obeyed only Temujin's orders.
If someone disobeyed, his territory would be taken back by Temujin and given to others.
Temujin hoped that Ögedai and Chagatai would recreate the epic victory in the Ili Valley and defeat the invading enemy once again.
"Jochi, Tuolei, you use the teleportation array to quickly gather forces and destroy the enemy. Don't feel sorry for the gold and silver consumed by the teleportation array, only by conquering these rebellious civilizations can we get a steady stream of taxes every year in the future, and our war horses can get the most fertile land. ”
"Yes."
"Be the first to destroy the Seljuk Empire."
Temujin suddenly turned his troops at the Seljuk Empire.
"Then there is the Persian Empire, the Protectorate of the Western Regions."
At the meeting of kings, all the hearts of all are in the same place.
Temujin intends to defeat them one by one before the five civilizations join forces!!
Among the five major civilizations, the Seljuk Empire, defeated in the Ili River Valley, was the weakest, followed by the Persian Empire, which was defeated by both the Ilkhanate.
Temujin finally gave up on fighting the most powerful Han Empire head-on, and instead chose to attack from weak to strong.
This strategy is also very common.
After conquering the weak, Temujin was able to obtain a large number of expeditionary forces to use in the expedition against the Han Empire.
In the battle with the Han Empire's expeditionary force, Temujin realized that it was undoubtedly a wrong decision to directly go to war with the Han Empire with his current strength.
Maybe in the first place, it shouldn't have swallowed up the Han Empire in one go. The Han Empire was too large.
A python can't swallow an elephant either.
Tuo Lei leaned over slightly: "Father Khan, when will you send troops?" ”
"Send troops in the cold winter, take them by surprise, and attack them unprepared."
Temujin's words made the people who participated in the assembly of kings even more shocked.
Temujin is planning to launch an offensive in the cold winter!
"Our cavalry, even on cold plateaus, can gallop across the country. The cold winter is not only not an obstacle to our conquest of Central Asia and West Asia, but on the contrary, it is beneficial. The cavalry of Central and Western Asia adapted to the heat, and in winter, they were not used to it. ”
In the assembly of kings, spies from the Han Empire infiltrated it, and they were shocked to find out about Temujin's strategic intentions.
Temujin's movements must be known to the Han Empire.
"You can retreat, Jochi, Tulei, Chagatai, and Ogedai, and the four of you will stay."
At the end of the assembly of kings, Temujin called the people away, leaving only his four sons.
Subutai, Mu Huali, Yelu Chucai, Crassus, Yelu Dashi, Timur and others left one after another.
Among them, Yelu Dashi and Timur inadvertently glanced at each other, and from each other's eyes, they saw that they were not ordinary people.
"In the lower Yelu Dashi, I didn't expect that after I left the Chagatai Khanate, the king of the Khan unearthed a fierce general."
Yelu Dashi thought that Timur, who was following Chagatai, had the need to make friends.
Both people recognize each other's abilities.
The young Timur looked at Yelu Dashi, who had a personality charm no less than Chagatai: "In the lower Timur, ten thousand households were under the tent of Chagatai Khan." ”
"This cold winter war, it may not be that simple, you should have participated in the big battle with the Han Empire expeditionary force, what is their strength?"
Yelu Dashi had not yet competed with the main force of the Han Empire's expeditionary force, and he was mainly dealing with the troops of the Western Regions Protectorate, so he was somewhat interested in defeating the Han Empire's expeditionary force that defeated the combined forces of the Temujin and Chagatai Khanate.
Timur replied: "The troops who are qualified to participate in the expedition are all the divisions of the Han Empire. But they are not invincible, if they gather all the generals and troops of the King Assembly, they can easily annihilate the expeditionary force of the Han Empire. ”
"Gather the forces of the Assembly of Kings ......"
Yelu Dashi thought that the generals who participated in the assembly of kings were like clouds, and with the strength of one empire and three khanates, they could indeed annihilate the expeditionary force of the Han Empire in the Western Regions.
However, each khanate still had its own enemies, and it was impossible to devote all its strength to the east.
In order to guard against the Seljuk Empire, the Chagatai Khanate did not gather all the cavalry to assist Temujin, after all, it had to leave a relatively strong army to defend the hinterland of the Chagatai Khanate.
"That's why the Great Khan chooses the tactic of breaking them one by one."
Jerodashi speculated on the reason why Temujin convened the assembly of kings.
It is clear that Temujin changed tactics.
"The two generals of Ogedai Khan and Chagatai Khan are highly used and must be immortal. Why don't you go to the mansion below? ”
A Mongol nobleman stopped the two and planned to befriend them.
Yelu Dashi and Timur looked at this man, but it was the eldest son of Tulei, Möngke, the fourth Great Khan of the Mongol Empire.
