Turning his gaze to the eastern shore of the Aral Sea, Karn learned that the Ming army had stopped in Montenegro, so he no longer retreated, but stationed his troops and horses on the eastern shore of the Aral Sea, reporting and waiting for reinforcements.

That morning, Karn received a letter from Her Majesty the Empress of the Empire, and after reading it, he couldn't help but sigh. The generals couldn't help but ask what was the matter, and Karn said, "Your Majesty has removed me from the post of commander-in-chief of the Eastern Crusade, and has appointed Generalissimo Boehner as the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Crusade, and I will assist Generalissimo Mora as deputy commander-in-chief." ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be very depressed, but what else could everyone say about such a defeat and being punished like this.

The army led by Boehner finally arrived, and the 500,000 Moorish and Arab servant armies were in a mighty manner, and at a glance, there was no end in sight to the yellow sand. Karn, however, frowned, showing no sign of joy.

In the tent, Kahn and Boehner handed over the position, and Bohner stepped up to the top and sat down. Everyone bowed together: "Generalissimo! ”

Bona glanced at Karn and his generals, and said sarcastically, "I didn't expect that the famous Generalissimo Karn and his elite soldiers would be defeated so miserably!" ”

The crowd was furious, but this was the case, and no matter how annoyed they were, they could only sulk.

Bona said proudly: "Now that the generalissimo is in command of the war against the Ming Dynasty, there will never be a repeat of the mistakes of the past." Boehner's generals shouted in unison, but Kahn's generals were silent.

Bonner asked Karn, "Where are the enemy now, and how many troops are there?" ”

Karn said: "The enemy army is now stationed near Montenegro and the Khorezm Sea, with a total of more than 400,000 troops, all of which are the main forces of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Bohner pondered: "Of the 400,000, I have an army of 500,000, and I should be able to attack." ”

Karn was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, you must not attack!" Not to mention that the servants brought by Your Excellency are all low-powered servant troops, they are all the main forces of the Empire, and it is difficult to be sure of victory! ”

Boehner mocked: "It seems that Your Excellency was frightened by the Ming people!" These words should not have been uttered by the Generalissimo of the Reich! ”

Karn didn't care about the other party's ridicule, and hurriedly said, "Your Excellency has not fought against the Ming army, so you don't know how powerful they are. The Ming army is the real enemy of the empire, they are well-trained, needless to say, and they are well-equipped, and the ironclad soldiers are unstoppable! You may laugh at me, but you will never think that the ironclad cavalry under my command is a misbreed! However, more than 10,000 ironclad cavalry of our army fought head-on with about 10,000 ironclad cavalry of the other side, but they were killed and annihilated, and the opponent's loss was only three or four thousand! Your Excellency now understands the strength of your opponent! ”

Bona and the others couldn't help but change color when they heard this.

Karn continued: "What I said is not the most terrifying thing about the Ming Army, what is most terrifying about them is the will to fight without fear of life and death! I've dealt with the Ming people a few times. They are unlike any other people's army, they will fight to the end even in desperate situations, until they die! Last time, our army had the advantage, a vicious battle came down, and the corpses were all over the field, except for those who broke through the encirclement, all of them were killed, and no one surrendered! Your Excellency, can you imagine such a situation? ”

"Da Ming Army, that's an awesome warrior! They live for war, die for war, regard dying on the battlefield as the highest glory, and regard cowardice and stealing life as the greatest shame! Whether it is a general or a soldier, the Ming army on the battlefield is a terrible beast, and the only way to defeat them is to kill them! ”

Karn glanced at Boehne, who was lost in thought, "Your Excellency, although you and I are at odds, you should know me, and the soldiers of the empire under my command. You know very well what their combat strength is, but in our war with the Ming army, we have suffered heavy losses after repeated defeats! This is enough to show how terrible the enemy is! The Ming people are not only the most vicious tiger wolves, but also the most cunning foxes! If they were only fierce, our army would never have been so miserably defeated! ”

Boehner nodded and said, "Your Excellency is right! Then he stood up, bowed slightly to Karn and his subordinates, and said, "I beg your forgiveness for wronging you." ”

Everyone returned the salute, and Karn said, "Your Excellency does not have to apologize, it is us who should apologize!" There are no more reasons to justify the colossal defeat of our army! When this battle is over, I will personally ask Your Majesty for sanctions! ”

Boehner sat down in his seat, looked at Karn, and said, "Since Your Excellency has dealt with the Ming Army many times, do you have any thoughts on the current situation?" ”

Karn pondered, "Although the enemy has won, his own losses are not small, and the power of our HRE soldiers is no joke!" As soon as these words came out, the morale of everyone was greatly boosted.

Karn continued: "The reason why the enemy did not pursue after the victory was because of the considerable losses. In addition, I think their logistical supply may also be a major reason for restricting them from continuing to expand their achievements. "Therefore, the enemy should not be able to attack us anytime soon." We should take advantage of this opportunity to build a strong defensive line on the eastern and northern shores of the Aral Sea to resist the future offensive of the Ming army. ”

Boehner frowned and asked, "You mean, we can only go on the defensive?" ”

Karn nodded and said, "Your Excellency, it is difficult for our army to win against the Ming army head-on, let alone those servant troops!" Those servant armies are like sheep in front of the fierce Ming army in front of tigers and wolves, I am afraid that they will be vulnerable if they really fight! If you use it to defend the line, it's still useful! ”

Boehner knew he had a point, and couldn't help but nod.

Karn continued, "Your Excellency, I have a plan that may bring down the enemy's forces. ”

When Boehner heard this, he couldn't help but be interested, and immediately said: "Since Your Excellency has a plan, say it quickly!" ”

Karn said, "Your Excellency, we might as well plunder all the property of the inhabitants around the Aral Sea, and then drive them all to the Ming Dynasty." Boehner was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he laughed; Good strategy, good strategy! In this way, we can not only get enough goods and grass, but also create a huge trouble for Daming. So many refugees fled to their side, and they had only two options. Either help them with your own food, or ignore it. If you help them, you will inevitably have a shortage of food and grass, and I am afraid that Montenegro and the Khorezm Sea will not be able to stand it; But if we don't care, those people will have breakfast in order to survive, and then we will have a chance! ”

Then he said to Karn: "Your advice is very good, so let's do it according to your advice!" ”

……

Yang Peng is discussing the next military action with Yelu Hanyu, Yang Yanzhao and others. At this moment, Yan Ji hurriedly rushed in and said to Yang Peng: "Husband, something happened!" ”

Everyone raised their heads and looked at Yan Ji, who hurriedly said, "I just received a report from the patrol that hundreds of people are pouring in from the west. ”

Yelu Hanyu smiled: "This is a big deal? ”

Yan Ji hurriedly said: "It's not what you think, it's almost all the people near the Aral Sea who are pouring to our side with their families. According to what the patrol learned, it was the HRE army that plundered their goods and drove them over! ”

Yang Peng and the three immediately realized that something was wrong and glanced at each other. Yang Yanzhao frowned and said, "What a vicious strategy!" They clearly want to use these people to drag us down! ”

Yang Peng said: "Go and see." Then he walked outside, and the people hurried to follow.

They came to the top of the mountain on the west side and looked to the west. When I boarded, I saw a crowd of people, surging from the sky. Although everyone had already heard Yan Ji's report, they couldn't help but be taken aback when they saw such a scene at this time. Yelu Hanyu exclaimed, "There are at least tens of millions of people!" ”

Yang Yanzhao frowned and said: "This is still what I see now, and how many people behind me still don't know!" ”

Yang Peng smiled: "Good guy, I underestimated this Karn!" I always thought that this Karn was a slightly conservative and enterprising general, but I didn't expect him to come to this point! ”

Yan Ji asked, "Husband, what should we do?" Is it true that you have to take care of these refugees? ”

Yang Peng frowned and said, "You can't watch these people starve to death!" ”

Yang Yanzhao couldn't help but sigh: "Your Majesty is not only brave and unparalleled, but also kind-hearted, which is really rare!" Yang Peng smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "It has always been a good person who suffers!" ”

Yelu Hanyu said worriedly: "If the eldest brother wants to save them, I am afraid that there will be problems with food and grass." ”

Yang Peng thought for a while, "There is no way, I can only take the local nobles!" Then he said to Yang Yanzhao: "Sixth brother, you are responsible, and immediately send an army to confiscate the property of all local nobles." But also leave them a small part of the family property, don't confiscate it all. ”

Yang Yanzhao said worriedly: "This is just afraid that it will trigger a fierce backlash from the nobles." ”

Yang Peng shook his head and said: "The lesser of two evils, I would rather offend those nobles than save these commoners." Fortunately, the Khorezm Sea and its surrounding areas have not yet been officially included in the jurisdiction of the Empire, and they are still under military control, so what we do is not illegal. Yang Yanzhao nodded, hugged his fists and said, "The last general will do it immediately!" ”

Yelu Hanyu looked at Yang Peng and couldn't help but sigh: "In this way, I'm afraid that the nobles in this area will hate the eldest brother to the core!" ”

Yang Peng shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said with a smile: "I haven't seen how much the nobles in other places like me, if you want to be ruthless, let them hate it!" Yelu Hanyu pursed his lips and smiled.

Yang Peng thought for a while, and said to Yelu Hanyu: "Mei'er, you are in charge of the work of these secret refugees, and place them around the Khorezm Sea." Yelu Hanyu said yes and ran down.

Yelu Hanyu's ability was extraordinary, and the originally chaotic refugee scene was quickly changed. The wave of refugees swarming from the west, after passing through a few bayonets, was led by Yang Peng to split into several streams towards the Khorezm Sea. When they arrived at the beach, they entered several refugee camps that were being prepared, and Yang Peng organized the refugees to set up camps. In addition, there are medical officers in Yang Pengjun's army who shuttle back and forth in the refugee camp to diagnose the refugees.

Just as Yelu Hanyu was busy, Yelu Yilie suddenly found him, "Auntie, I want to tell you something. ”

Yelu Hanyu glanced at him and said to his subordinates: "Okay, you all do as I tell you." The people said yes and hurried down.

Yelu Hanyu said to Yelu Yilie, "If there is anything, just say it." ”

Jereil hurriedly asked; "Auntie, I don't know why Your Majesty ordered the army to raid the homes of nobles everywhere? Didn't Your Majesty always want land and nothing else? But this time, the army under Yang Yanzhao not only announced the confiscation of the nobles' land, but also demanded that the nobles hand over eighty percent of their property and grain within a time limit, why is this? I also ask my aunt to go to His Majesty to persuade me, I can't go on like this, I'm afraid it will cause a rebellion among the nobles! ”

Yelu Hanyu pointed to the refugees in front of him and said, "Big brother is also forced to do this. Don't you see so many refugees coming from the west? If we don't let the nobles come up with money and food, how can we have enough money and food to take care of these refugees? ”

Jereyi Ledden was angry, and said angrily: "How can you rob us of our money and food for the sake of these untouchables, how can there be such a reason? ”

Yelu Hanyu shouted, "What did you say? ”

Yelu Yi Ledden realized that he had lost his temper, and hurriedly pleaded guilty: "Aunt atoned for my sins, I lost my words." ”

Yelu Hanyu said: "Tell those nobles not to be dissatisfied. Now we have only taken eighty percent of their money and food, and if they dare to make trouble, there will be no remaining two layers. Okay, I have a lot of things to do here, I don't have time to greet you, you can go. ”

Yelu Yilie was extremely depressed, but he didn't dare to disobey Yelu Hanyu, so he had to go down with a promise.

Jereh returned to his place and sat down, his face full of depression.

This is, a cronie rushed in and reported; "My lord, a few masters are here again!"

Yelu Yilie had nowhere to vent his anger, and when he heard the words of his cronies, he immediately scolded angrily: "What are they doing here? What can I do? My land and money and grain have not been all gone by the Ming people! Tell them to get out of here, don't bother me! Seeing that Yelu Yilie was angry, where did he dare to talk nonsense, he hurriedly promised and prepared to go out to reply.

"Wait a minute!" Jereil exclaimed suddenly.

The cronie hurriedly turned around, bowed down and asked, "What else do you have to offer?" ”

Yelu Yile pondered, "Call me all those masters." The situation was strange, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he hurriedly answered and ran out.

A moment later, several fat-headed, big-eared, gorgeously dressed men came in at a hurry, and when they saw Jere, they couldn't wait to complain about their bitterness. Yelu Yilie said angrily: "What's the use of you complaining in front of me, I haven't been robbed of land and money and grain by the Ming people!" Several people didn't expect Jereh to say such a thing, and they couldn't help but look at each other, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

An old nobleman said with trepidation on his face: "So, so are we not completely slaughtered?" ”

A young nobleman shouted excitedly: "Since the Ming people told us that we can't live, we will turn against the damn!" The middle-aged nobleman next to him hurriedly shouted: "Don't talk nonsense! While scolding like this, his eyes were looking at Jereil intentionally or unintentionally.

Yelu Yilie stood up and said, "I originally thought that the Yelu Guifei of the Ming Dynasty was the princess of our Khitans, and it should be beneficial for us to surrender Yanyun. But I didn't expect that the truth was the opposite, I really regret not being at the beginning! The nobles looked at each other and did not speak, only the impulsive young nobleman shouted: "My lord, the Ming Dynasty has harmed us so much, why should we be loyal to him!" Your Excellency, you will lead us to reverse! ”

The old nobleman who had spoken earlier immediately shouted, "Hugh is going to harm us!" Now that the Ming army controls all the places, just with our few people, it is not enough for the Ming army to stuff their teeth! ”

The young nobleman said angrily: "I was afraid of wolves and tigers, so I can only let outsiders slaughter them!" We can't deal with Yan Yunjun, but there are always people who can deal with it! When everyone heard this, their hearts moved.

Yelu Yi said: "Don't say any more, I don't think this matter is reliable." "The young nobleman is in a hurry, and he has to persuade. But Yelu Yilie raised his hand to stop him, and said to the nobles: "Ladies and gentlemen, although we have lost most of our money and food, there is still a lot left, which is enough for you to be rich and worry-free for a lifetime!" Don't think anything wrong, otherwise the catastrophe will definitely lead immediately, and it will be too late to regret it then! ”

The old nobleman nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad!" My lord couldn't be more right! Although we have lost a lot of money, there is no problem in being rich and prosperous for a lifetime, so why bother to have a lack of heart and end up ruining our family! ”

Jeremiah said, "That's it! Okay guys, don't think nonsense, I'll think I've made a contribution to the empire and His Majesty! Let's all go back. Some of the nobles were unwilling, but when they saw that Jereh had said so, what could they say, they saluted Jereil and left.

However, after a few moments, the young nobleman, who had spoken impulsively, returned, and said to Yeluyi: "My lord, how can we be so submissive! Those are our money and food, how can we let the Ming people take away them! No matter what the adults say, I'm not reconciled! I really don't understand how adults can endure it! ”

Jereil sat down in his chair and said, "I didn't say I had to put up with this. ”

The young nobleman was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly, "But didn't the lord say ...... just now?"

Yelu Yilie frowned and said, "Can you guarantee that those people are all of the same mind as us?" If I agree with you in public, maybe one of them will turn his back and tell the whistle in exchange for his own glory and wealth! ”

The young nobleman nodded thoughtfully, "Your Excellency is right! ”

Yelu Yilie stood up and said indignantly: "I defected to Daming, full of hope that I could be reused, but I didn't expect that in the end, Yang Peng not only did not have any grace, but also seized the wealth and land that originally belonged to us, which is truly hateful!" I am inseparable from Da Ming, and one day I will teach Da Ming to spit out the wealth that has usurped us, even with interest! The young nobleman said excitedly: "Since the adults think so, let's hurry up and take action!" ”

Yelu Yilie waved his hand, "No, no, no, this kind of thing must not be rushed!" You must know that the tiger wolf of the Ming Dynasty is extremely fierce, and we will be crushed into powder in an instant! Even the army of the Holy Roman Empire, which was so powerful, was defeated and fled in embarrassment in the face of the Ming Tiger Wolf, let alone us! ”

The young nobleman felt that what Yelu Yilie said was reasonable, and said anxiously, "Then what is the best way to do this?" ”

"I think that the Holy Roman Empire will be shocked by such an unprecedented defeat, and the government and the opposition will never give up!" I believe that it won't be long before the army of the Holy Roman Empire will concentrate on settling accounts with the Ming Dynasty! All we have to do is be ready and wait for the right time to come! The young nobleman nodded.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
