Chapter 442: Unexpected Joy

"What providence!" said General Xiban, sneering at Lord Batu's words, "the eldest brother once said that he was groggy and seemed to be involuntarily in those days, and that he suddenly came to his senses when he started with me and Brother Bel that day, and when he woke up, he forgot all about what had happened in those days. Presumably, this demon girl used some kind of trick against her eldest brother!"

"Hmph, you are plotting to rebel, and you are embarrassed to say that others are using ghost tricks?" Lord Batu sneered.

"What's the point of doing all these verbal battles now?" General Xiban shook his head and sighed, "Now that old fellow from Chagatai is prepared, I want to sneak attack and grab as many advantages as possible, and my desire to occupy the territory can only be put on hold." It seems that I am suffering for my life, and I can only fight this old guy Chagatai hard, and I am better than him!"

"Let's stop bluffing here. Neither of us wants to do it now! If you wait for reinforcements, I will also wait for the follow-up soldiers! As soon as this battle opens, it will be a protracted battle! Oh, it's really annoying!" General Xiban looked helpless.

"It's still the eldest brother's luck! If he made such a big mistake, he was sent by Batu Khan to go another way, presumably he had already crossed the Shihe River (now the Irtysh River) in Ye'er at this time, and he had already taken a large piece of land by surprise with the eldest brother's skills!

"What? You actually fought in two ways at the same time? You have such a big appetite and so much courage!" Lord Batuu suddenly heard the news, and his face turned pale.

"Don't you know, General Ben has told Lord Batu beforehand, and we are preparing to use troops in two directions, so there is no manpower to be seconded to Lord Batu!" General Xiban looked at Lord Batu's puzzled eyes. Then he slapped his head and blamed himself. "Oops! It was General Ben who was confused and misremarked. It is said that it is a war against the west and the north. In fact, they are fighting against the east and the south! Lord Batu is not strange!"

Lord Batu looked at the smug face of General Xiban, knowing that the other party was deliberately playing tricks on him, but he couldn't help but be so angry that his face turned from white to red and then to white.

"Lord Batu, don't fall for his tricks!" Elder Peng quietly came to Lord Batu's side, and a strong internal force passed from behind Lord Batu's back to help him calm down.

"Thank you, Elder Peng! I understand what kind of damage the army will do to our Mongol Empire just because I am anxious about Erda!" said Lord Batu.

"These things are not up to you and me to decide, we can only do our best, and the rest should wait and see! The Khan is wise, and he will definitely be able to get through this difficult time!" Elder Peng persuaded, and of course he could not say that all of this was his handiwork.

The soldiers and horses of the two sides were in a stalemate, and there were several tentative battles here and there, but they did not cause much damage. However, in order to perform, the people of the Tianshan Mountains raided the heavy grain and grass of General Xiban, although it also brought a lot of losses to General Xiban, but they were also killed by the heavy soldiers who guarded the baggage, and killed two unlucky island owners.

"You planned this?" This is Meng Yao asked Wu Xiuwen in disbelief when no one was around.

"Yes, although there are some mistakes, the final effect is not much different from what I originally envisioned, and it can even be said that it is much better than the situation I envisioned!" Wu Xiuwen was excited. "At least I didn't expect that Batu Khan would have such courage to send troops in two directions! The loss of their national strength will be even more serious! Even the Mongol Empire will not be able to withstand wolves even if it is a fierce tiger!"

"That's right! Think about the several battlefields of the Mongol Empire now, there is none of them that makes them worry-free, it can be said that they are embattled on all sides, and they are attacked on all sides, even if they are iron-clad heroes, they can't stand such consumption!"

It was not until ten days later that Chagatai Khan sent reinforcements with a large brigade led by his son Mu Vulgan and soldiers and horses led by Belge sent by Batu rushed to the front line almost without distinction between the front and back, and a major battle between the two sides inevitably began.

But this had nothing to do with Lord Batu and his party, and after the arrival of reinforcements from both sides, they received the Khan's will from the Chagatai faction Mu Gugan, and Lord Batu immediately returned to meet the Khan and reported the detailed information and letters to the Khan in person.

Of course, other people who were directly or indirectly involved in the incident also went to be questioned by Khan.

After saying nothing along the way, the group rushed back to the Khan's place to cut off his ears, and Lord Batu went to meet the Khan, and Elder Peng, as a key figure in the incident, also went with him.

As usual, the Khan carefully inquired about the details of the incident, and checked the letter stolen by Xuan Lingzi, and after confirming that it was correct, he sighed and informed Lord Batu of the battle situation at the front.

However, Urda did not receive timely response along the way, and it did not take long to seize a large area of land as if it were no man's land, bringing huge losses and great pressure to the Mongol Empire.

Although effective men have been dispatched to stop it, the situation is still not optimistic.

"Batu, what do you think of the current situation?" asked the Khan casually.

"Weichen thinks that if we don't completely eradicate Batu and other traitors, our Mongol Empire will never have peace!" Lord Batu bowed and replied.

"That's right! A good saying, 'If you go outside, you must first settle inside,' this sentence has won my heart! Lord Batu was able to detect the conspiracy of Batu and the rebels in time this time, so as to avoid being dealt a fatal blow by them at a critical moment in the future, and this is a great merit!" The Khan praised Lord Batu greatly, and it seemed that it was indispensable to be promoted to the rank of knight.

Lord Batu didn't dare to say anything, but he was grateful to Elder Peng in his heart, not to mention the previous few life-saving graces, but to say that Batu's retrograde was discovered by Elder Peng, and the sentence "If you go outside, you must first settle inside" was also said by Elder Peng when he discussed the current situation with Lord Batu, and was quoted by Lord Batu at this time, and was praised by the Khan.

"Elder Peng is really my lucky star!" Lord Batu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but he didn't know if he would laugh when Elder Peng knew about his exclamation.

It was based on the gratitude to Elder Peng in his heart that Lord Batu gave Elder Peng a lot of credit in front of the Khan, and the Khan did not hesitate to reward Elder Peng and named Elder Peng the "Flying Cavalry Captain" from the five ranks.

This is a great gift, although the commander does not have real power, but it is also an official position that has entered the rank, symbolizes honor, and enjoys treatment.

Just like in the "Recruiting Pavilion", except for the title of "National Teacher" of King Jinlun, the others actually do not have any official positions, but are valued by Kublai Khan, and are promised that they will be crowned officials and knighted in the future.

Now that Elder Peng has been named the "Flying Cavalry Captain", it can be regarded as the first one in the "Recruitment Pavilion"! )
