In the face of Boyan Timur's questions, some of the words in his heart could not be said directly.

In fact, those who are good at infighting are far more than the Ming family.

From Kublai Khan's generation to the present, Meng Yuan's internal fighting is much more fierce than that of the Ming Dynasty.

In order to focus on internal strife, Da Yuan did not have the time to rule the Han people well, even to the extent that the imperial power was not lower than the county, and the management of the people was not much different from herding sheep. In this way, after less than a hundred years of infighting, the descendants of Genghis Khan left the old capital of the Great Yuan and returned to the grassland to ride horses and graze.

Let's take the present, although I also have the idea of recovering the old capital of the Great Yuan first, but I firmly believe in the truth that the outside must first be at home:

Considering the comparison of the strength of today's Mongolian magnates, there are 70,000 troops in the headquarters, a total of 40,000 soldiers and horses in several younger brothers, and 30,000 in the Arazhiyuan and 30,000 in Tokhto.

Therefore, it does not have an absolute overwhelming advantage over the other ministries, and once two join forces to fight against it, it will also feel very tricky.

I also thought like this: Suppose that if the Arazhiyuan supports Boyan Timur to replace him, then the two of them will have a total of 50,000 troops, and the great tomorrow will send another 100,000 troops to support the two, which is an army of 150,000, which is twice the number of his own soldiers and horses, and he will instantly fall into unprecedented passivity.

The same is true for the other three brothers, and it will be equally tricky if the three Polo brothers join forces with the Arazhiyuan to rebel against themselves.

Or Boyan Timur united with Arazhiyuan and Totobuhua, and the three of them rebelled together. Then the fun is even greater.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with what was conceived first, Zhu Qiyu has secretly formed an alliance with Totobuhua and Arazhiyuan, and the two have a total of 60,000 troops.

Now, as long as any of Yexian's four younger brothers oppose the water, the anti-Yexian alliance within Mongolia will have the same strength as the Yasen headquarters.

Then Zhu Qiyu dispatched another 100,000 troops, and an absolute superiority in strength would be formed.

So now, he secretly cooperated with Zhu Qiyu to act: first, he ordered the three Polo brothers to lead their troops and horses to camp in Wuli west of Yuantu City; Then, when the 130,000 Ming troops went out of the city to line up, they neither actively attacked the Ming army to relieve the siege for Polo, nor did they let Polo's soldiers and horses withdraw and join forces with the main force of Warat.

first deliberately used the soldiers and horses of the three Polo brothers to test Zhu Qiyu: Polo won, and he can accept it first; Polo was defeated and his forces were weakened, which was also acceptable at first.

Anyway, it's okay, as long as the dead friends don't die in the poor way.

Boyan Timur did not understand the mystery, and continued to ask Ye first.

had to say perfunctorily: "With the combat strength of my Warat cavalry, the Ming army can't eat Polo's 20,000 troops." Let's let Polo adapt to the situation, he is a famous iron marshal, and you need to have faith in him. ”

After that, he stopped talking and quietly watched the next move of the Ming army.

Now the Ming army has dispatched a total of five battalions, and the main force of Shi Heng's five military battalions is also the main force head-on; Sun Bo's 3,000 battalions, Liu Ju's imperial horse guards and four guards, a total of 20,000 people, threatened Yexian's flank south of Shiheng.

The 30,000 new troops who had just left the city were responsible for separating the army of Yexian and Polo.

Xu Heng, the Marquis of Xing'an, led three teams of 10,000 people, in a zigzag formation, and pressed towards Polo's army step by step. This army is the main attacking force of the Ming army this time.

The three Polo brothers apparently did not realize this, and all believed that the Ming army was bluffing. After Polo sent his subordinates to ask for instructions from Yexian, he received a reply that he could wait for the opportunity and act cheaply. To fight or not to fight, it is up to the three Polo brothers to decide.

Polo asked the two brothers next to him for advice, and the reply was that Polo was under full command.

The most important thing in fighting a war is to unify the military orders, and after obtaining the absolute command of the 20,000-strong army, Polo ordered the soldiers to stop camping and assemble the whole army.

Then the 20,000 army was first divided into 5,000 men to block the 30,000 new Ming troops out of the city to protect the flanks of the army.

The rest were divided into five teams of 3,000 men each, and they could take turns charging at any time at the sound of Polo's order.

Polo is also a fierce general in the Warat army, experienced in a hundred battles, repeatedly made military exploits, and his command ability can be described as first-class.

But Zhu Qiyu still grasped one of Polo's fatal heels: that is, there is a very big misunderstanding in Polo's cognition, he greatly underestimated the power of the Ming army's artillery.

There is no such misunderstanding in Yexian's cognition, but Yexian deliberately did not remind Polo.

So Zhu Qiyu took advantage of the subtle psychology of the Warat brothers and successfully found a breakthrough.

Xu Heng, Marquis of Xing'an, Marquis Wang Tong of Chengshan, Fan Guang, Xu Tong, Gu Zhong and other cronies were all skeptical of Zhu Qiyu's judgment. However, in line with the principle of unifying the order, several people still insisted on implementing Zhu Qiyu's decision.

The most concrete manifestation is that all the Ming troops have not fired a single shot so far. It is to not give Polo the opportunity to know the range and power of the Ming artillery.

This strategy was able to work in the end, thanks to Sanyang. During the reign of Sanyang, he always focused on helping Warat eliminate Atai Khan and Arutai, resulting in no regular war between Warat and the Ming army until July this year.

Since July this year, there have been three major battles between the Warat and the Ming army.

However, thanks to Sanyang's frontier appeasement policy, the southwest Luchuan rebellion, the southeast miners' uprising, Zhu Qizhen transferred most of the elite of the Ming army to the south to quell the rebellion.

As a result, although Warat fought three big victories, they were all second- and third-rate troops of the Ming army. Moreover, they were all ambush warfare carried out with the cooperation of the intelligence of some traitorous traitors in the local Ming army in Shanxi. Because it was all a surprise attack, the firearms of the Ming army had no chance to show their power at all, and the artillery had not yet been set up, and the battle was over.

Therefore, although Polo has experienced a hundred battles and made many meritorious achievements, and won the title of 'Iron Marshal' within Wara, he has never fought with the elite troops of the Ming army who have sufficient firearms, and he still does not feel that he will substitute the combat power shown by the Ming army in the three battles of Tumubao, Yanghekou and Harrier Ridge into the Ming army in front of him.

So Zhu Qiyu couldn't stop laughing after knowing the location of Wara's camp. Polo chose to camp five miles west of Yuantu City, which was actually within the artillery coverage of Yuantu City.

But no one told Polo, and he didn't say it yet, Zhu Qiyu didn't say it, so he let Polo be kept in the dark like this.

While Polo was highly nervous and observing the battlefield at all times, Zhu Qiyu was hugging Ning Xiang and Linglong, the two little concubines, and taking a nap leisurely. And Zhu Qiyu's nap is very long, and he has to sleep until the sun is about to set.
