Chapter 187: Foolish Dreams
On the second day, when the sky was bright, in the golden tent of His Majesty the Emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, hundreds of civil and military officials had gathered. Among the two columns of civil and military affairs, the leader is naturally the Taiwei barbarian, the Si Zhan Shifu and the Zhituoyin Timur, the prime minister lost the martyr's door, and the prefect pinched the cowardice and other important ministers of the Yuan Dynasty who held real power.
A moment after the Tocus Timur, who was sitting on the dragon chair, passed down the decree, the three of them walked in on the colorful and gorgeous carpet in the golden tent, all bowing their heads slightly. The Mongolian young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes and vigorous steps behind Guilichi and Arutai was the leader of the Oirat tribe, the son of Mahamu.
After paying homage to the emperor, the three of them stood up and retreated to the side.
After the barbarian glanced at the Dehuan not far away, he stepped out, and was about to speak, but saw a person on the opposite side also walking out of the queue, and bowed to the emperor who was sitting on the dragon chair first: "Your Majesty, last night the Oirat tribe asked to see Weichen, and specially presented a rare treasure for Your Majesty. ”
"Oh? Aren't your Oirat tribes the poorest of the three? Unexpectedly, there are still treasures dedicated to me today, which is strange. "Tocus Timur grew up in the royal family since he was a child, and he has seen countless treasures, and he can hear that there are treasures to pay tribute, and his tone can't help but carry a bit of mockery.
When the barbarians, Timur, Harazhang and other high-ranking officials saw His Majesty the Emperor's mocking smile, they also laughed along, and the laughter was full of ridicule and self-indulgence.
The barbarian glanced at Togus Timur, and thought to himself: It seems that Your Majesty is also very curious about the treasures offered by Tuhuan, and if your treasures cannot satisfy Your Majesty, I will take the opportunity to say that your father did not follow Your Majesty's will and led the army to come, which is really a great crime of disobeying the decree, and you will be killed outside the Golden Horde.
Tuhuan looked at the group of high-ranking officials of the Northern Yuan Dynasty who laughed at him with a smile, and he didn't seem to be annoyed at all.
Seeing that Tuhuan was so calm, Togus Timur couldn't help but be even more curious, and after waving his hand to stop the laughter of the ministers, he stared at Tuhuan with both eyes and said in a deep voice: "I don't know what your treasure is......" Before he could finish speaking, he only heard a sudden neighing of horses outside the golden tent.
When Tocus Timur heard this unexpected neighing of a horse, he couldn't help but be stunned, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked with joy: "Isn't this the treasure of Dehuan?" ”
After this horse neighing, up to the emperor, down to the Chinese military officials, was also aroused curiosity, it turned out that the Northern Yuan up to the emperor, down to the ordinary herdsmen, it can be said that all from childhood to old age, are spent on horseback all their lives, natural love for horses, for a good horse is simply as precious as life, even barbarians, Arutana and other people in the city government are not immune.

When the prime minister asked to see him last night, he had already witnessed the majestic posture of this horse, and he was very confident in it, and seeing the emperor's intentions, he took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, such a good horse is something that can be met but not sought, and it took a lot of effort to catch it, and I feel that my status is low, and I am not worthy of such a mount, so I hereby dedicate it to Your Majesty." Speaking of this, he turned his head and looked at the low eyebrows and pleasing eyes not far away, with a respectful look of joy.
It turned out that Tuhuan knew that the barbarians in the Northern Yuan court had always wanted to find fault and annex their own tribes, so this time he not only brought a horse that was unique in ten thousand to the emperor, but also carried a heavy gift, which moved the Northern Yuan Prime Minister who had long intended to win over the three clans to fight against the barbarians and others.
When Tocus Timur heard such a boast of the Martyrs, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he immediately led a group of civil and military officials towards the outside of the Golden Tent.
On the open ground outside the Golden Horde, a sturdy Oirat knight was holding a horse with a haughty appearance, red body, like a ball of fire, which was none other than Tuohuan's henchman Nasutai.
Seeing that the guards around the Golden Horde were all amazed at the horses they were leading, Nasutai couldn't help but show a smile on his face.
Outside the golden tent, Hailanda, the commander of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, saw that His Majesty the Emperor led a hundred officials out of the tent, and he hurriedly led a group of subordinates to kneel on one knee and did not dare to stand up.
Togus Timur waved his hand to signal Highlander to get up, but his eyes were fixed on the horse at Nasutai's side a few feet away, and looked at it carefully.
I saw that the horse's head was thin and the neck was high, the limbs were slender, the skin was thin and the hair was fine, and the figure was far taller and mightier than the ordinary Mongolian horse.
Seeing that this horse was extraordinary, the barbarian secretly screamed in his heart, but he asked with a pretended puzzlement: "This horse is only taller, but it is not enough to call it a treasure." ”
Tuhuan secretly sneered in his heart, and said to Togus Timur quietly on his face: "Your Majesty, let Weichen show Your Majesty the peculiarities of this horse." Seeing that the emperor nodded in agreement, he walked to the side of the horse, took out a snow-white cloth towel that had been prepared from his bosom, carefully wiped it twice on the back of the horse, turned back to the side of Togus Timur, unfolded the cloth in front of the emperor and the ministers, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please see, this horse's sweat is completely different from ordinary horses. .com"
Togus Timur looked intently and saw a pale red water stain on the snow-white cloth towel, and he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart.
Lost Lie Gate is the head of the Northern Yuan Dynasty civil officials, the influence of the Han Dynasty culture is far more than the barbarians and others, after seeing the horse last night, read some books, at this time with a confident smile said, "Han Shu" for this world's oldest horse breed has been recorded, there is a high mountain near the city of Dawan Kingdom, there are wild horses on the mountain, galloping like flying, can not be captured. The people of Dawan put the five-colored mare at the foot of the mountain in the spring evening. The wild horse and the mare have mated, and they are born with sweat and blood, and when they sweat on their shoulders, they are as red as blood, and they are like wings, and they travel thousands of miles a day. This horse is as blood-stained as blood, just like Genghis Khan's mount in the past, and it is a rare sweat and blood horse in the world. ”
After quietly glancing at the barbarian, Tuhuan bowed down and said: "It took a lot of effort for Weichen to catch this BMW, but because of his humble status, he didn't dare to take it for himself. In Weichen's mind, only the supreme Emperor You, Your Majesty, are worthy of this noble mount. This horse gallops like a swift wind and lightning, if Your Majesty rides this horse to hunt, what other prey in the world can escape your arrows? "It turns out that Tuhuan, as the son of a tribal leader, is also a person who loves hunting, and knows that the strength of the horse's feet is extremely important for hunting.
The Lost Flame Gate smiled, and thought to himself: This is also obedient, Your Majesty has been very interested in hunting for the past two days, but for the sake of lack of horsepower, he got rid of two prey, and he regretted it in his heart, and it was the right time for this horse to be delivered.
Seeing that the emperor was extremely happy, the barbarian's heart sank involuntarily, and he secretly thought to himself: This little fox actually used such a horse to please His Majesty, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to take his life today. Thinking about this, he sighed secretly in his heart, slowly walked to the side of Togus Timur, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, today we are discussing how to deal with Zhu Yuanzhang's Northern Expedition army of the Ming Dynasty......"
When Togus Timur heard the barbarian's rather disappointing words, he couldn't help but feel awe-inspired, so he had to reluctantly look at the sweaty and bloody BMW of the divine horse, and then led a group of civil and military officials to walk back into the golden tent.
After the Emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty sat down firmly on the dragon chair, the barbarian coughed lightly, walked out of the queue and bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty has appointed Lan Yu as the marshal at present, and has gathered more than 100,000 troops in Daning City, and it is bound to invade Mobei in the near future. ”
The commander of the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty was not Xu Da, Feng Sheng, and Fu Youde, who looked at each other and felt a little peaceful.
Togus Timur frowned and asked, "I wonder what the Lord Taiwei has planned?" ”
After glancing at Tuohuan coldly, the barbarian said in a deep voice: "Weichen asks Your Majesty to summon the leaders of the three tribes of Qierjis, Asut, and Oirat to lead the army, just to use the alliance of the three clans plus the more than 200,000 troops under the current command of my Northern Yuan Dynasty to take the initiative to meet and annihilate Lan Yu when the expedition comes." He knew very well that the three tribes of Tuhuan, Guilichi, and Arutai also had a total of 70,000 or 80,000 horses, plus the 200,000 troops under his command, and the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty, which could not have any advantage in terms of troops, time, and geography, had a good chance of winning. Although the barbarian is loyal to the Northern Yuan court, he also knows the emperor's temperament, and knows that after he gets the BMW offered by Tuhuan today, he is in a very happy mood, and it is bound to be difficult to get rid of Tuhuan's father and son at the moment, so he can only take a step back, and when he fights with the Ming army, he is forced to lead the elite of the tribe to fight with Lan Yu to the death.
After coughing lightly, Tuohuan suddenly walked out of the queue, bowed down and said, "The villain is stupid, but he also has a plan to deal with the Northern Expedition army of the Ming Dynasty." ”
"Oh? What's your plan? Togus Timur looked at Tuhuan and asked in a deep voice.
Tuhuan looked up at the barbarian opposite, sneered secretly in his heart, and said: "At present, compared with the Ming Dynasty of Zhu Yuanzhang in the Central Plains, the biggest disadvantage of our grassland tribes is the population, I heard that the prosperous land of the Central Plains, the population of a city is millions, and the number of Han people is huge, so the Ming Dynasty can have an army of millions, even if it is as Lord Taiwei said, it can annihilate the hundreds of thousands of troops under Lan Yu, but in less than two years, Zhu Yuanzhang can dispatch a large army to the Northern Expedition, let me ask Lord Taiwei can win every time?" Even if we and the Ming army lose both sides and lose tens of thousands of horses, I'm afraid that we won't be able to recover in 20 years. ”
Barbarian and Deyin Timur, Harazhang and others looked at each other, they all felt that it was difficult to refute this statement, they were high-ranking officials of the Yuan Dynasty, they had lived in Dadu in the past, and naturally knew that there were more than 10 million Han people in the world, the former Yuan Dynasty important ministers Tokh and the famous general Wang Baobao faced Zhang Shicheng, Chen Youliang, Zhu Yuanzhang and a group of peasants were also defeated and won less, not to mention that the Ming Dynasty has been established for 20 years, under the governance of Zhu Yuanzhang, the national strength has gradually strengthened, and it is not unusual for the soldiers to exceed one million, in the face of the well-equipped Ming army, Who would dare to say that a hundred battles are won?
Deqi Timur angrily rebuked: "I don't know if you have any clever strategies? ”
After looking at the other party, Tuohuan said softly: "The villain thinks that it is not appropriate for us to have a hard encounter with the Ming army at the moment, so it is better to take advantage of the time when Lan Yu leads the army on an expedition to send a large army to attack Gyeongju, the throat of Liaodong." At present, although the various tribes in Liaodong have returned to the Ming Dynasty under the influence of the three tribes of Wuliangha, after all, the time is still short, and the Ming Dynasty's rule over Liaodong is still unstable. The three tribes of Wuliangha have limited troops, and there is bound to be a competition for the land where water and grass are luxuriant, it is difficult to compete with our army together, and they are bound to bow their heads and submit to His Majesty the Emperor. ”
When Tuhuan said this, the Golden Horde was suddenly silent and silent.
Although the barbarian was eager to immediately get rid of the joy and annex the three clans, he had to admit that what he said was very insightful. Although he also hated Nahachu who supported the army and was entrenched in Liaodong, but when Feng Sheng's army was on an expedition to Liaodong, he still strongly advocated that the Northern Yuan Emperor send a large army to reinforce it, because Nahachu was entrenched in Liaodong, and it was bound to contain Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty and the Mobei royal court had an extremely important role in restraining the Ming Dynasty. More importantly, since the Yuan Dynasty under Zhu Yuanzhang's fierce general Xu Da, Chang Yuchun under the onslaught of the escape from the former capital, first Fu Youde led 300,000 troops to exterminate the Yuan Dynasty Liang King Zaravarmi entrenched in Yunnan, and then Feng Sheng's army forced down the Nahachu army entrenched in Liaodong, now the Yuan Dynasty has retreated to Mobei, only the 200,000 troops remain, the morale of the soldiers has fallen into a trough, if one day can invade the capital of the former Yuan Dynasty, even if it only stays for such a day, the encouragement of the entire Yuan Dynasty is self-evident.
Tuhuan looked at the barbarian and Tayin Timur, Harazhang and others, and said in a deep voice: "The villain heard that the marshal of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Da, not only presided over the rest of the Great Wall, but also strengthened the Shanhaiguan and Juyongguan fortresses. ”
Barbarians, Deyin Timur and others have been in the position of generals for a long time, naturally quite strategic, hearing this, their hearts are involuntarily sinking, and they all think: If in a few years, the gateway and throat of the capital of Juyongguan Fortress will be formed and stationed with heavy troops, forming a momentum of being a husband and a pass, and then trying to capture the capital will become a fool's dream, which is out of reach.
