Chapter 454: The Waves Rise Again
As soon as the words fell, a voice came from outside the hall: "Minister Li Ru asks to see!"
Yuan Qi was slightly stunned, Li Ru was in charge of the hidden dragon, what was the matter with him at this time?
Then he stood up and bowed to Chen Lu's ancestor and said, "Master, the apprentice will go and meet Li Ru first."
Chen Shu smiled: "Go ahead."
In the back garden, Li Ru bowed down: "Shengshang, there are secret agents on the front line to report, and there is a large army from the west coming to me, and it is estimated that there should be 800,000 people." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"What? The Xiliang rebellion has long been put down, why are there so many troops?"
"This is not a soldier from the West, but from a country farther west, and its lord seems to be called, called Timur."
Yuan Qihu's body was shocked, "Timur?"
"Exactly, and this person is already over the age of told, and somehow, he personally led a large army to the border of my Yuan clan. ”
Then you can't go wrong, Yuan Qi couldn't help but lose his mind for a while, no wonder the master shook his head, how could this cripple appear in this era? In history, he was going to challenge Cheng Zu, but in the end, he didn't seem to go to war, and appeared in this world again?
"Did that Timur have some disability in his leg?"
According to the secret interview, this person seems to be born with a disability and has a somewhat lame leg, but judging from the momentum of his sergeants, he is quite familiar with the way of governing the army, and the soldiers and horses under his command do not seem to be weaker than our army in terms of equipment. ”
"It's not good, Xuan Kongming and the ministers of military aircraft are here to see!"
Kong Ming, Guo Jia, Zuo Ci and other ministers sat down one by one and looked up at Yuan Qi.
Yuan Qi smiled slightly: "Everyone, Timur of Western Mongolia today led 800,000 troops to attack my Yuan clan, what do you think?"
"Holy Lord, my Yuan clan has just ruled the world, the people are all happy, the people are at peace, the blood of the soldiers under his command is still boiling, the spear of a hundred battles can pierce the incoming enemy at any time, only 800,000 enemies, the empire only needs to send a general, and it can be defeated outside the country!" Kong Ming got up and said.
"Holy Lord, I am willing to be the vanguard, and sweep away the invading enemy for our army," Zuo Ci said with his head held high.
"Holy Lord, the minister is willing to be the vanguard... I want to be the pioneer... The generals stood up and asked for their lives.
Yuan Qi pressed his palms downward, "The generals listened to the order and ordered Ma Yue to command the three armies, Guo Jia as the staff officer of the march, Guan Wei, Zhang Wu, Xu Xuan, and Wei Yan each commanded 50,000 troops, and Ma Yuezhi's Xiliang army to resist foreign enemies, Gao Shun and Chen Dao, each led 50,000 troops as backup, Xun Luo was responsible for military supplies, Kong Ming coordinated all parties, and ordered Qi Tian to lead the Feilong Army to prepare for the enemy. The widow wants to see if this cripple can really fight!"
Three days later, under the command of Guan, Zhang and other generals, 200,000 troops rushed to the Xiliang front line and came to the westernmost military fortress of the Yuan Empire: Pingliang Pass.
Pingliang Pass is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the front is an endless prairie, the pass is claimed to be able to accommodate millions of soldiers, the wall is built with boulders, extremely strong, so Yuan Qi is very confident in meeting Timur here, but also sent 500,000 troops here, Ma Yue needless to say, Guan Wei, Zhang Wu, Xu Block, Wei Yanju is a first-class fierce general, plus Guo Jia such a ghost plan, only 800,000 barbarians who traveled long distances, is it an opponent?
If you win, you will take the initiative to attack, destroy the enemy's living force, and if you can't win, you will defend, rely on this Xiongguan to consume the enemy's living force, no matter what, the final outcome is that he Timur is defeated, and Yuan Qi is very confident.
In the Guannei, Ma Yue, Guo Jia and other generals are discussing the pre-war plan, "According to the report of the Malay Expedition from the front, Timur is strict in governing the army, and when the army is marching, the people who come and go will be dispersed, and all those who disrespect the order will be killed, therefore, we are not too clear about their specific tactics, troops, and armor, and we can only conduct a rough exploration on the periphery, so this first battle must first explore the truth!"
"The last general is willing to be a pioneer and find out. As soon as Zhang Wu heard that he was going to fight, he immediately stood up and asked for his life.
"General Zhang Shao'an is not impatient, in this battle, I want General Xu to be the vanguard, this time it is mainly a temptation, not a real confrontation, when the real rush is killed, it will naturally let General Zhang kill happily!" Ma Yue got up and said.
"The last general commands," Xu said.
"General Xu, don't underestimate the enemy!" Guo Jia admonished
"Rest assured, Xu will not disgrace his life!"
Kashgar, the camp of the Timur army, the generals are also discussing how to carry out this first battle, and Timur said loudly: "Pingliang Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if we forcibly capture it, our army will suffer heavy losses, and I will make the beasts throw themselves into a trap and defeat them in one battle!"
"Edict, let someone send the above table to the Yuan army!"
Guo Jia and Ma Yue were looking at the table sent by Timur, because this was not a confidential letter, Yuan Qi had ordered Ma Yue to understand all the information of Timur's correspondence first, so that there was no need to pass it back and forth, wasting time, and it was more conducive to the leading generals to understand the intentions of the lord.
Gong Wei Dayuan Emperor, by the order of Tianming, unified the four seas, benevolence and Hongbu, grace and support. All countries admire, Xianzhi God wants to rule the world peacefully, and the emperor is specially appointed to be the lord of billions of trillions, bright and vast, like a mirror of heaven, there is no far, and Xianzhao is coming. The minister Timur, who is thousands of miles away, respectfully hears that he is magnanimous and magnanimous, beyond eternity, and has no blessing since ancient times, the emperor has it, and the country that has not been obeyed, the emperor has obeyed it. The distant and obscure places are all clear. The old are not happy, the young are long, the good are blessed, and the evil are fearless. Now he has been blessed with grace from afar, and all merchants have come to China to make them look at the cities of the capital, rich and majestic, as if they have come out of the darkness and suddenly see the sun, how fortunate they are! Admiring the Sacred Heart, like a cup of the world, makes the hearts of the ministers suddenly bright. The tribes in the courtier's country, hearing the sound of Zide, dancing and feeling, the minister has no way to repay the favor, but to praise and wish, the blessing of longevity is like heaven and earth, and it is eternal and endless.
Guo Jia and Ma Yue looked cute after reading it, are they here to fight or sycophants?
It seems that I am very afraid of my Yuan clan, but what does it mean to bring 800,000 troops here? In this case, I can justifiably let Xu Ban go and explore the truth.
"General Xu, will you take 5,000 soldiers and horses to Timur's camp to explore the truth?" Ma Yue shook the table sent by Timur and handed it to Xu Fang.
After Xu Block finished reading, he went to prepare for the envoy, and the next day, Xu Block led 5,000 troops to envoy Timur's army...
After passing through Dunhuang and Aksu, when they were about to arrive in Kashgar, they saw scouts cruising in the distance and stopped them, "Who is coming?"
"I am Xu Bao, the Marquis of Yangping of the Yuan Empire, please inform your country Timur Khan. ”
"Wait here for a while, and we'll go to the Khan. ”
Immediately, several scouts galloped to report to Timur, and Xu Fang and the others waited in place for the time being.
In Timur's camp, after hearing the scout's report, Timur coldly gave an order, "Order Kunbu to kill all the people of Xu Block, and after Xu Block is captured, give it to Ma Yue, and say, Genghis Khan has helped your country clear out a group of bandits, and now the bandit leader will be handed over to your country for disposal!"
"Please come with me to meet the Khan!" the scout said and took Xu Ban and the others forward.
At this time, Xu Fang didn't know that there was a huge pocket waiting for the five thousand people in front of him, which was the bloody mouth of the giant beast, waiting to swallow the five thousand people in one bite...
Xu blocked the horse forward, his heart was inexplicably a little irritable, and he was also a little frightened when he sat down on the horse, as if there was something terrifying hidden in front of him, waiting for them.
"Stop, may I ask, what is the place ahead?" Xu asked the Mongols who led them,
"General, the front is the place where our Khan receives the envoy of your country, and please hurry there as soon as possible, don't let my Khan wait for a long time!"
"Ben Hou knows, you go first, and we'll come later!" Xu Ban waved his hand.
