Zhao Min was not surprised when she heard Yang Xiao's question, she said: "It's very simple, because the imperial court doesn't have many soldiers and horses that can be mobilized. ”

"Oh?" Zhang Wuji, Yang Xiao, and Yin Tianzheng exclaimed at the same time. Zhao Min pointed to the map and said: "Now a large number of military horses north of the Yellow River are basically scattered in the desert, Taiyuan, Gyeonggi, and Liaodong. Liaodong and Gyeonggi are too far away to rush to the aid in a short time. As for Taiyuan and Da Mo, they were monitoring the tribal princes of Mongolia. Zhao Min looked at everyone's somewhat puzzled eyes, and explained: "In fact, Dayuan is not a single court, but a large tribe composed of various noble tribes. Because Kublai Khan, the founder of the Great Yuan Dynasty, was not recognized by other Mongol princes at the Kuriltai Congress. ”

"Instead, he defeated Ali Buge with the strength of the Han princes. Therefore, many princes in the desert are basically at odds with each other. It's a bit like the Zhou Dynasty of the Han people. Although the princes surnamed Ji in various places nominally supported the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven was still wary of them. Zhao Min looked at Zhang Wuji and said, "Just as Brother Wuji said." The descendants of Genghis Khan, the position of the Great Khan, can all sit. Kublai Khan's forcible seizure by force can be regarded as breaking the original harmony. At present, compared with the rebellion of the Han people in the south, the Yuan court is more afraid of the Mongolian princes in the desert. ”

"After all, if the southern Han land is lost, the emperor can still return to his Mongolian hometown, but if the Mongolian hometown is lost, then he will really be homeless. At least I know that the princes of the Warat tribe are at odds with the current emperor. He is more afraid of the threat of the steppe than we are. This is also the reason why he wants to talk to Brother Wuji and plans to recruit princes from all over the country. After listening to this, Yang Xiao said: "In this way, the imperial court is powerless to levy the rebel armies in the south?" Zhao Min replied, "To be exact, this is the case. The character of the Mongols is that they can use their hands and never move their mouths. From the time the court began to recruit 'anti-thieves' like the Song family, it could already be proven. Nowadays, the imperial court can honor those Han princes and some native Mongols, Semu soldiers. Therefore, in this battle, the only thing that the Taishi could mobilize was the Mongolian army on the front line of Nanyang. But saying this, Zhao Min sighed.

Zhang Wuji asked, "What's wrong with Minmin?" Don't you have any confidence in this battle? Zhao Min also replied frankly: "That's the case, our current strength is only about 3,000. There are at least 10,000 or 20,000 people who can be mobilized to encircle and suppress Shaomu Mountain. Yang Xiao frowned at this time and said: "The headquarters of the Five Elements Banner and the old department of the Heavenly Eagle Sect are all composed of Jianghu people with strong martial arts, they have been trained by us for many years, and their organization and strength are higher than ordinary soldiers. ”

"If the sect leader personally leads the troops, it can boost morale, these soldiers dare not say that they can use one as ten, but there is no problem with one as five. However, according to the county lord, there are 10,000 or 20,000 people on the other side, and there are many people. We're still at a loss. Yang Xiao suggested at this time: "Sect Master, according to the opinion of his subordinates, it is better for the Sect Master to mobilize the surrounding princes to help in the war. This will drain their strength to preserve our own. Zhang Wuji shook his head and said: "No need, Zhang Liao was able to defeat 100,000 people in Eastern Wu with 800 people in the first battle of Xiaoyaojin back then. Now we have 3,000 men, and it is not a problem to fight against 10,000 or 20,000 Mongol soldiers. Moreover, Yang Zuo's envoy compared our warriors to Wei soldiers who were brave and good at fighting, and it can be seen that Wu Qi defeated 500,000 Qin troops with 50,000 Wei soldiers. We have 3,000 tigers, and we are not afraid of 10,000 or 20,000 barbarians. Hearing Zhang Wuji's sky-high tone, everyone really didn't know what to say.

Zhang Wuji gave everyone another reassuring pill and said: "Don't worry, I won't take risks." If we can defeat the invading Mongol soldiers with outnumbered enemies and defuse Cheng Kun's conspiracy, then we can truly deter the princes who do not obey the main altar. I am sure that I will win this battle. After listening to Zhang Wuji's words, Zhao Min was the first to say something: "I believe in Xianggong, Xianggong can always do something that ordinary people can't do." Although Yang Xiao still had doubts in his heart, he also said: "My subordinates must obey the orders of the sect leader. At the moment, it is not far from the meeting of Shaomuro Mountain, and his subordinates will go to prepare. But Zhao Min sighed in the end.

Zhang Wuji patted Zhao Min's shoulder and said, "Minmin, do you still have any doubts?" Zhao Min smiled and shook his head and said, "It's not true, it's just a pity." It would be nice if we had more soldiers and horses on hand. In this way, we can also take advantage of the fact that when the Taishi of Tokhtar is transferring troops from Nanyang, we can take advantage of the emptiness of Nanyang to attack Nanyang. When the time comes, after taking Nanyang and Bianliang Road, Luoyang will be dead. When the time comes, you will occupy the Central Plains, and such a son of heaven will be famous. Zhang Wuji smiled: "Okay, it's good that Liu Futong is willing to sacrifice Bianliang Road." We are alone at the moment, and we can't eat a fat man in one bite. Fang Cai Minmin, you also talked about Xu Shouhui's current situation. If you don't accumulate strength and are eager to expand, then Xu Shouhui will be too busy to take care of himself now. Zhao Min also looked at her affectionately, and then nodded.

Yang Xiao looked at Zhao Min, and then went to prepare for Shaomushan's meeting. After going out, Yang Xiao couldn't help but shudder.

He knew that this girl was scheming before, and today when he heard Zhao Min's arrangement, he admired it even more.

He was also glad that Zhao Min had fallen to them, otherwise this woman would really be a terrible opponent. And the same is true of the white-eyed eagle king who came out together.

The two walked out of the courtyard side by side, and Yin Tianzheng said: "Yang Zuo, the old man seems to understand a little, why Wuji must bring Zhao Min to his side." Yang Xiao said: "Yes, don't look at this girl's age, she is unfathomable and scheming. The Sect Master's choice is right, even if such a person cannot be used by me, he cannot be used by the enemy. Keeping her by her side was the best option. It seems that our sect leader is much more mature than the two of us imagined. Yin Tianzheng smiled: "Yes, it's a pity that the children of our two families are too unsuccessful." Although he was about the same age as the Mongolian lord, his insight and strategy were far inferior. If Zhao Min can stay by Wuji's side, it would not be a good thing to assist him wholeheartedly. I hope that this time Third Brother Xie can save the day. The two of them talked and laughed like this, and went to dispatch their respective soldiers and horses.

Reading books and in the hall, Zhao Min still had some things to sort out when he first arrived. Although Zhu Jiuzhen and Wu Qingying didn't say anything, Zhao Min was the best at observing words and feelings, and from the eyes of Zhang Wuji and Zhu Jiuzhen looking at each other, Zhao Min could see that these two people must have

"Catty". Read the book
