Chapter Seventy-Nine: Encountering the Enemy
Chapter Seventy-Nine: Encountering the Enemy
King Yan stood on top of the carriage, surrounded by dense soldiers, the pale color of snow in stark contrast to the stains on the soldiers' bodies.
King Yan took a deep breath and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the enemy is three days away, but our dry food is no longer enough, if we can't win this battle, it will be difficult to get out of the Mobei Snow Plain." I didn't force it, so I distributed dry food and went back by myself. Who is willing to go on another journey with me, destroy the remnants, and seal the wolf Juxu. ”
Zhang Yu immediately shouted loudly: "Destroy the remnant yuan, seal the wolf Juxu." ”
As soon as Zhang Yu spoke, the people below shouted in unison, and for a while, there was a landslide and tsunami.
In fact, not every soldier of today's soldiers is willing to go to this big adventure. After all, this is only the information brought by a dead man in the old tavern. If this information is fake, it is simply a trap for the enemy, what should I do?
It's just that King Yan has outstanding prestige in the army, and he has a group of backbone henchmen like Zhang Yu. This sentiment will never be allowed to spread. After such an oath, even if these people still have any thoughts in their hearts, they are gone at this moment.
Some can only grit their teeth and do this thing well.
Anything is easy to say about victory, but defeat is the beginning of despair.
Thousands of miles of snow, it is impossible to get out.
——
Along the river to the west, the north bank gradually becomes undulating hills. From a distance, it looks close at hand, but in fact it is far away.
Tens of thousands of horses, divided into several teams, stretching for more than ten miles, Yan Wang's face is full of chilblains, and the dry cracks on his face are cracked, and the blood-red texture below can be seen. Anxiously looking north.
Suddenly, there was a shout from the front, and a horse galloped over, saying: "Report, Your Highness, General Qiu reports that the enemy has been received in front." ”
King Yan asked, "How many enemies are there?" ”
The cavalryman said, "I don't know, the two sides met suddenly. ”
King Yan took a deep breath, immediately changed to his own horse, and then waved his hand, threw all his various things, dry food, and threw them on the ground, and said: "Pass the order, all lightly, kill." ”
As soon as King Yan gave the order, the horse team, which stretched for several miles, immediately began to move fiercely to the west.
You know, the endurance of horses is actually not as good as that of people. Even the speed of the cavalry on the march cannot be too much, the kind of five hundred in two days, one thousand in three days, are all unconventional marches, and every time they come, they will kill many horses.
When the king of Yan is marching, he must also maintain his horsepower. Now that you know where the enemy is, you don't have to worry about that.
It's just that King Yan's department is like a giant dragon that has been alarmed, and at this moment it is opening its teeth and claws and launching an attack. Not so with the Tartars.
To be honest, the level of Emperor Tian Yuan is also above the level.
After the death of the only veteran Detain Timur. Emperor Tian Yuan knew that he could not continue to stay in Eastern Mongolia. Emperor Tian Yuan thought about it, and there was only one way, and that was to merge with Warat. After all, nominally, Warat was also a force of the Yuan court. The leader of Warat is still the captain of Dayuan.
Of course, Emperor Tianyuan naturally knew about Wara's wolf ambitions. But anyway, the tile spur and the golden family have been married for generations, since Genghis Khan, there are many daughters of the golden family who have married the tile spur department, plus the Tianyuan Emperor is not without any strength.
After the confluence with Warat, it was just a little more problematic in the court. As long as he can save his life, Emperor Tian Yuan won't think much about it.
In fact, the reason why Emperor Tianyuan had this idea was also because of the death of Timur, as soon as he died, Wang Baobao's rest of the army could not be said to have completely disappeared. But it's not systematic. It can be divided and accepted by Emperor Tian Yuan for his own use. After the introduction of the Tile Spur Department, Emperor Tian Yuan also had some capital. Otherwise, when Deyuan Timur was there, it would be very difficult for Emperor Tianyuan to suppress Deren Timur. If the Watts were brought in again, and the Watts would discuss with Tamur the causes, they would be able to change to a Great Khan.
It's just that the emperor can't do anything happy, this is still the case for Zhu Yuanzhang, and even more so for Emperor Tianyuan.
In this matter, the people who oppose it the most are the people of the Golden Family, and the Xiao'er Jin Family is the basic plate of Emperor Tianyuan. The reason why the Northern Yuan Dynasty was able to gain a firm foothold on the grassland was because during the Yuan Dynasty, most of the lords on the grassland were the Sons of the Jin family or the families who followed the Sons of the Jin family today, of which His Royal Highness was the Mu Huali family.
And Warat is different.
The name Warat, in Mongolian, means forest people, and it is a side line of the enemy that Genghis Khan recovered when he attacked Moxi. Because it was not the main enemy, no brutal killings were carried out. But it is also because he follows his enemies and does not regard them as his own people.
It's just that 4,000 households have been sealed. Married to a daughter. It's also considered to be wooing.
For more than 100 years in the Yuan Dynasty, the status of the Tile Spur people in the Yuan Dynasty system was not too high. Some people even say that the Watts are hybrids, the specific reason, it's hard to say, maybe the Watts have some non-Mongol characteristics in their bloodline.
In short, 30 years in Hexi, 30 years in Hedong, the 4,000 households that were looked down upon and looked down upon by the Mongols have now become a huge tribe. In Mobei, there is a strong force in northern Xinjiang, which is the last nomadic empire in the history of the world in the Ming Dynasty and Zhunger in the Qing Dynasty.
Now is the time when the tile spur is in its infancy.
Emperor Tianyuan wanted to win over the tile thorns, and he must give power and status, but for the Mongolian nobles, they hated the tile thorns, and they hated it even more than they hated Taein Timur, after all, the three generations of the Wang Baobao family fought for the Yuan court, and that began in the Central Plains. Although everyone looks down on it, Chahan and his son Wang Baobao, as well as Wang Baobao's younger brother Tayin Timur. But their status was determined before the Yuan court withdrew from the Central Plains.
Not to mention, Wang Baobao also has the earth-shattering achievement of supporting the building to collapse, turning the tide and rebuilding the society. Therefore, the special status of Timur is permissible. But the Tile Thorns, who have always been in the west, have hardly made any effort. Didn't even engage the Ming army much.
In the eyes of many Mongolian nobles, the reason why the tile spurs are where they are today is because they fought against the Ming Dynasty in the front, and the tile spurs recuperated in the back.
At this time, how to face the soldiers who died in battle?
This is certainly a reason, but it is more that these Mongol nobles do not want the local mongrels to leap above them.
This also annoyed Emperor Tian Yuan.
For these people, you can't beat or scold, these people are his foundation, but the situation is like this, Emperor Tian Yuan understands very well that if he does not unite with the tile spur, the future outcome is already doomed, and if he unites with the tile spur, there may not be a good end in the future, but the problem is that the Tian Yuan Emperor has no choice.
The only choices in his hands are the king of the dead country, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, these two options. He can only choose the second one, Emperor Han Xian can still have an edict, and he still has people and horses in the hands of Emperor Tianyuan, so he may not be able to turn the tables. After all, the Golden Family is still influential in the grasslands. Even inside the tile spur, there are people with the surname Xiao'er only catty.
In a word, Emperor Tian Yuan felt that he still had some ways to deal with the tile thorns. Although I don't know, whether these methods are useful or not. And against the Ming army, he has no way at all.
Therefore, Emperor Tianyuan suppressed it internally, strengthened ties with Tile Spur externally, and the envoys kept coming and going.
Anyway, the orthodox title in the hands of Emperor Tianyuan is still good, from Emperor Yuan Shun, Emperor Zhao, to Emperor Tianyuan, the inheritance is orderly. Although the tile spur is powerful, it has always belonged to the local forces in the power territory of the Yuan Dynasty, and there is still a fear of the Yuan court.
The two sides are affectionate, and the concubine is intentional.
The power in the hands of Emperor Tianyuan, hundreds of thousands of cavalry, tens of thousands of armored, is also a very powerful force on the grassland. And the orthodox name of Emperor Tian Yuan on the side of the tile spur can allow the tile thorn to annex other tribes and accelerate the strength.
But at the same time, the tile spur was also afraid that the Tian Yuan Emperor would disintegrate the loyalty of his subordinates, after all, the development and growth of the tile spur and the decline of the Yuan Dynasty occurred almost simultaneously. There are some things in this that are not easy to say, the decline of the central government, and the growth of the localities, it must be some local forces or interests belonging to the central government, which have been annexed by the localities. Otherwise, there is no explanation for the occurrence of this situation.
