Of course, Genghis Khan would not be as impulsive as Mu Huali, and said in a deep voice: "There is still some time before the beginning of winter, and there is still time to send envoys, so there is no need to rush for a while." ”

This is a disguised agreement with the proposal of towing mines.

Then, Genghis Khan said: "Even if it is to salute first and then to soldier, the mobilization of soldiers and horses must be prepared in advance." This time to attack Western Xia, the Muhua Li Department was the main force, and the Mine Department cooperated. ”

After the defeat of the Western Turkic Khanate, the Mongol Empire had an army of 1.8 million, divided into nine equal divisions, each with 200,000 troops, distributed throughout the Mongolian steppe.

Nine armies, Genghis Khan led a pro-army, stationed in the royal city of Hala and Lin, Jebe, Zhele, Subutai and Hubilai four warriors, all served in the Khan's pro-army.

In addition to the pro-army, the remaining eight divisions were led by the four Jie Borshu, Mu Huali, Chilao Wen and Borhu, and the four sons of Jochi, Chagatai, Okotai and Torre.

Borshu, Chilao Wen and Ögedai were stationed in the Ögedai Khanate. The Jochi tribe was stationed in the north, the Chagatai department and the Borhu department were stationed in the east, and the Tuolei department and the Muhuali department were stationed in the south.

Four princes, each guarding one side.

Therefore, this time to the south, Genghis Khan will find Mu Huali and Tuo Lei to discuss the matter.

Among the 1.8 million troops, except for the Khan's own army, only half of the remaining eight troops are standing armies, and the rest are all recruited in wartime and go home to graze in peacetime.

"Yes!"

Ordered, Mu Huali was overjoyed.

Western Xia was originally a land of four wars, the people were fierce, and the army was 500,000, which was really not a negligible opponent, so Genghis Khan would use two armies in one go.

In contrast, although the neighboring Tubo Dynasty had a wider territory and a total army of only 400,000, it was not comparable to the Western Xia.

Even so, Mu Huali is still full of confidence.

No matter how fierce the Western Xia army is, in terms of combat power alone, it is still inferior to the Mongolian iron cavalry.

…………

On November 18, the Mongol Empire sent an envoy to Western Xia.

The envoy's tone was very tough, and he was limited to 60 million units of grain within one month of Western Xia, otherwise there would only be soldiers to meet each other, and he hoped that Western Xia would think carefully.

Sixty million units of grain is enough to feed one million people for two months.

If you save some food, supplemented by meat, you can basically let the Mongol Empire survive this winter, even if it is poor, it is only a few, and it will not starve all over the land.

The Mongols also wanted the lion to open his mouth, but the land of the Western Xia was limited, and 60 million units of grain had to be peeled and bone-drawn, and no matter how much, the Western Xia could only be forced to death.

This winter, no one can live comfortably.

In line with the words of the envoy, the Mongolian general Mu Huali led 200,000 Mongolian iron horsemen from his headquarters to the south and lined up on the border of Western Xia, which was menacing.

At the same time, the Ögedai Khanate sent an envoy to the Tibetan Dynasty with the same request, intending to force the Tibetan Dynasty to provide food, otherwise it would be invaded.

As soon as the news came out, the three countries of Qin, Xia, and Zhou invariably strengthened border patrols.

In the land of China, the smoke is rising again.

…………

Xingqing Mansion, the palace of the Western Xia Dynasty.

Li Yuanhao's face was gloomy and terrifying, the Mongol Empire asked for 60 million units of grain, which basically wanted the life of Western Xia. If you really want to make offerings, the people of Western Xia will have to go hungry.

And that's not even the worst.

The appetite of the Mongols has always been surprisingly large, if the Western Xia obediently confessed this time, the Mongol Empire would not come to ask for it next time, so falling into a vicious circle, it would only make the strong stronger and the weak weaker.

Without food support, how could Western Xia gain a foothold in the wilderness?

"Your Majesty, this grain must not be given!" The one who spoke was the general Yeli Wangrong, who was the same as his younger brother Yeli Yuqi to command the left and right side armies, and was the Shuangzhu State of Western Xia.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yeli Yuqi followed and persuaded, "Once we make offerings, won't we become vassals of the Mongol Empire, where is our prestige?" It's a big deal to fight with them. ”

Li Yuanhao said with a dark face: "The Mongolian iron cavalry is invincible in the world, can you win?" ”

Yeli was not convinced, "Historically, we resisted the Great Song Dynasty in the south, rejected Liaojin in the north, and fought a few battles with the Mongols, who were we afraid of?" ”

The Western Xia army is brave and extraordinary, and it does have the capital of pride.

Yeli Wangrong followed and said: "Your Majesty, it seems that winter is coming, our army does not need to win, as long as we hold back the Mongolian army, hold on, and wait until the cold winter comes, the Mongolian army will have to retreat if it does not retreat." ”

These words made Li Yuanhao's heart move.

"As soon as the cold winter arrives, Mongolia is short of food, and it will be up to them to survive this winter. When we come next year, I'm afraid that if we don't need to exert our strength, Daxia will take the lead in attacking and conquering Mongolia. Yeli Wangrong said.

Li Yuanhao's eyes lit up, and he finally made up his mind.

"Okay, that's it, you immediately purge the army and be ready to fight at any time."

"No!"

The Yeli Wangrong brothers glanced at each other, excited.

…………

The next day, Li Yuanhao, the emperor of Western Xia, replied to the Mongolian envoy that although the land was scarce and the grain was scarce, in view of the friendship between the two countries, he was still willing to borrow 10 million units of grain from the Mongol Empire.

No more, please let the empire understand.

Genghis Khan got revenge, and he didn't want to talk nonsense, so he directly ordered Mu Huali to follow Tuolei, and immediately led the troops south, and even released a bold statement: "This time I don't want 60 million units of grain, but the entire Western Xia." ”

Li Yuanhao's borrowing of grain was understood by Genghis Khan as a humiliation of Mongolia, how not to be angry.

For a time, there was wolf smoke in the northwest again.

Whether it was for the Mongol Empire or for the Western Xia, this was a battle of life and death, there was no way to retreat, no one could afford to lose, and they had to go all out.

In order to resist the Mongol iron cavalry, the Western Xia poured almost all the country's troops into the north. If the Great Xia army took advantage of the weakness at this time, Western Xia would definitely not be able to resist it.

Li Yuanhao gambled that King Xia would not do this.

Ouyang Shuo really won't take advantage of people's danger, he just sits in Shanhai City, watching the northwest coldly, no matter who wins or loses in this battle, it will be beneficial to Great Xia.

In the blink of an eye, a week has passed.

During this period, Wolf Warrior led the reorganized South American Corps to officially set foot on the land of South America through the teleportation array of Shanhai City and start a legendary journey.

Zhou Haichen, the guard of Egua County, also took a group of civil officials to take up his post at the same time.

In addition, the Pacific Fleet will continue to transport a large number of war materials to Egua County for reinforcements, assist the South American Corps, and gain a firm foothold in Egua County.

Only when the fortress is built can we talk about foreign conquests.

The Shanhaiwei commanded by Black Snake also took this opportunity to establish the Americas Division based in Fulcrum City, Egua County, to make up for the last shortcoming of the global intelligence system.

The Shanhaiwei secret agent will take the fulcrum city as the center, go north and south, and explore the intelligence of the dynasties.

Great Xia's global intelligence network has been rolled out across the board.

…………

Dawson Dynasty, Liberty City.

It wasn't until the Great Xia army appeared in Fulcrum City that Jack knew that the Indian Empire had ceded the Ecuador region to Great Xia, and Great Xia had accepted it calmly.

"Great Xia is so arrogant that it actually extends its tentacles into the American continent."

Although the Dawson dynasty has not even settled the North American continent, Jack has long regarded the American continent as his backyard, which no one can touch.

Great Xia's intervention obviously made Jack very dissatisfied.

Although he was dissatisfied, Jack did not dare to act rashly, although the silver hand was the king of the European continent, but in the Americas, it did not have any advantage.

Especially in North America, the Maple Leaf Dynasty and the Mayan Dynasty are both blue badge camps.

Even if the two camps don't tear their faces, Jack will find an excuse to wait for an opportunity to take out the two dynasties, unify the North American continent, and win a strong base.

In this case, Jack didn't want to go head-on with Da Xia Gang and be this up-and-coming bird.

"Someone!"

"In!"

"Order the Colombian army to stop moving south and instead prepare to attack Venezuela to the east."

"Yes!"

Jack is really smart and decisive, and he wants to take advantage of the fact that Great Xia has not yet gained a foothold in South America, take the lead in taking Venezuela, strengthen the Dawson dynasty's presence in South America, and win the first opportunity.

"I want to see how Ecuador is just a small place like Ecuador, how Great Xia is making waves in South America." Jack suddenly became calm, and he was in his chest.

Compared to Emperor Chen, Jack does know more about strategy.
