As a first-class general, and in the prime of life, Xu Fang's physical fitness is still very good, and after a period of recuperation, he appeared in front of Ma Yue and Guo Jia vigorously, and everyone was discussing the current situation at this time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"The Mongolian barbarians are too deceitful, my old Zhang will take people to destroy them, his grandmother's. Zhang Wu was furious, for him who was keen on heads-up and winning by strength, the Timur army directly destroyed Xu Block's 5,000 men and horses without saying hello, that is, it was not a matter of faith, it belonged to the barbarians, Lao Zhang despised it very much, and he must find this field.

"General Zhang, don't be irritable, he killed 5,000 of our men and horses, we don't want to be pretended, doesn't he Timur think we are easy to bully!

Judging from the current situation, Timur has been peeking at our country's land for a long time, and should have carried out a long time of exploration and analysis of China's strategy of using troops, the composition of the troops, and the national strength。 Guo Jia analyzed.

"What the military advisor said is true, but how should we deal with it at the moment?" Guan Wei was also anxious, and asked hurriedly,

"Our army does not know the enemy's reality and rash attack, it is not possible, to find out the enemy's intelligence, the current method is not feasible, the Timur army expedition, it is impossible not to supply locally, if you want to supply, it is not possible to contact the locals, under the Pingliang Pass, there are still many Mongolian tribes, and there are also people who have settled here in order to avoid the scourge of war and natural disasters, we should start in this regard, find out the information of the Timur army, and can draw these tribal forces over for my use, what do you think?"

"Okay, let's do it. Ma Yue's eyes lit up after hearing this, yes, they can't afford to wait, 800,000 troops, people eat and drink horses, without nearby supplies, it is impossible to maintain the normal operation of the entire army, the Mongols are nomadic, wartime soldiers, peacetime for the people, peacetime to engage in production, in order to maintain the vitality of the family, now all are soldiers, then supplies are naturally lacking.

Guan Wei, Zhang Wu, Wei Yan and other generals were also impressed after hearing this, and nodded one after another.

In the camp of Timur's army, Timur the Great, a cripple who was terrifying to the whole of the European continent and even Asia, was limping over, listening very seriously to the news from his courtiers, his eyes blazing.

Those few people are in the dust, looking at their attire, they should have come from a far, far away, but they are in high spirits, the warriors of Timur the Great, as long as they stand in front of their great monarch, even if the blood is drained and they are about to die, they will be so energetic, their emperor is tantamount to the undefeated god of war in the minds of all his warriors, yes, he is a god-like existence.

The man who was reporting the news to the Timurid Emperor respectfully touched his chest with his hand, and after saluting the Great Khan, he immediately reported: "On the orders of the Great Khan, we have infiltrated the Yuan Empire and have gathered as much information as we can. The person who now rules the Yuan Empire is a young man named Yuan Qi. “

Old Timur sighed regretfully, and raised his head again: "In the past few years, I have been busy conquering Eastern Chagatai, Western Chahatai, Golden Horde, Khordezm, Persian Yier, Turkey, Delhi (North India), and I have not freed my hands, I originally wanted to take the emperor of the Eastern Empire as the last opponent in this life, and he is so young, if he is vulnerable, it is too boring. Well, tell me about the current state of the empire. ”

"Yes, Great Khan, the extent of this country is impossible for the minister to know, but judging from the dense population of the places through which the minister passed, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the largest country in the world. Their emperor had about two million standing troops, and when they went to war, they would leave about one million troops to guard their vast territory, and about half a million troops would be mobilized for war. And they had strong and tall walls there, and there would be rivers around them......"

Old Timur's eyes shone brightly, like a dying lion, in pursuit of the glory of the last battle, and his face was flushed with excitement, so that the age spots on his face became more prominent: "That's great! I'll go there, I'll conquer there, I'll prove that I'm the strongest in the world." Remember what I said, although the world is big, it can't accommodate two monarchs, and the one who can stay can only be me!",

Old Timur waved his arms and shouted excitedly, he walked away with his lame leg and sat down on the soft Persian hair, and a charming blonde Persian girl with a white veil on her face, showing her bewitching little waist and sexy belly button, immediately fell to her knees in front of him and gently shook her legs for him.

Old Timur shouted: "Khumbu, Khumbu!",

A man walked in from outside the tent, touched his chest with his hand, and said respectfully: "My Great Khan!"

Old Timur said excitedly: "Listen, you go at once, get me more detailed information about them, oh, it's better to have a detailed map, I don't want to hit them and get lost." ”

In Khumbu's big account: "The 'merchants' we brought have been approved by the Yuan Empire to go to various places to buy. We have basically figured out their cities, rivers, and roads over the years, and now that they have changed emperors, we need to make a new assessment of their troop deployment and combat effectiveness, and at the same time, we must also understand how powerful his empire is under the rule of this new emperor. “

Kunbu said: "In other aspects, let these 'merchants' understand the strength of the Yuan clan's army, and you two people who have led troops will need to evaluate it. Gaita, the black-faced general who defeated Xu Fang, and another white-skinned general, Crescent, immediately received their orders.

Merchants, especially those who come from foreign lands, have every reason to go to any corner and any environment, except for government offices and military forbidden areas. If they have other motives, it is easy to disguise their true motives, and unless you do not allow them to do business, they can learn enough about the topography, the political situation, and the economic development through the people or things he comes into contact with.

Secret agents, but also high-level agents secretly trained by the governments of various countries, their intelligence collection, analysis is more targeted, but also more professional, under the Pingliang Pass, the two countries secret agents, spies are working intensely and busy, preparing for this seemingly large-scale battle.

Outside Pingliang Pass, a team of 2,000 people is trekking through the vast snowfield.

This is Guo Jia's people.

The departments outside Pingliang Pass are only instinctively attached to their nearest and most powerful empire, ----the Yuan Empire, this kind of political position is originally wavering, and the decision lies in the empire's deterrent power to the Western Regions, to put it bluntly, it is a question of whose fist is bigger, now Timur has come to the Western Regions, the news has spread, and the position of the Western Regions is very warm. However, Guo Jia also insisted on his own opinions, and in his opinion, it is precisely because the position of the foreign ministries is vacillating that we need to communicate more with them and do more work at this time. If Timur's army is here, and the Yuan army just closes the door and excludes them, then they will have a feeling: "We are abandoned!"

If that is the case, when Timur's army attacks the Yuan clan, these tribal forces, which do not have much loyalty, are bound to throw themselves into Timur. Guo Jia did not expect them to resolutely resist Timur, but once Timur occupied these areas and attacked Pingliang Pass, whether these local snakes had a perfunctory attitude towards Timur or actively cooperated with him largely determined whether Timur could use Monastan and Aksu as his rear base, which was of great military significance.

The argument between the two ended in Guo Jia's victory. Ma Yue had no choice but to allocate it to Guo Jia from his own pro-army guard to protect his safety. Ma Yue's pro-army, 2,000 people, is a brave soldier selected from the Jingliang Iron Cavalry, and the establishment is more than half of the ordinary Qianhu Station, and the commander is called Xing Tian, because Guo Jia is a special favorite strategist of Yuan Qi, Ma Yue also arranged Wei Yan to accompany him for protection.

Xing Tian is originally from Hexi, familiar with the customs and customs of the Western Regions, and this army is also the best equipped and strongest force in the Xiliang Army. Further west, it enters a sparsely populated area, the distance between each city is quite far, in the middle are uninhabited walls, sandbanks, if in danger, such a force can protect the commander, leave as quickly as possible, and it is easy to get rid of the pursuers, if the team is larger, but bloated, difficult to dispatch, although the number of people is large, but it is easier to become the fish on the chopping board of others.
