"General, the border of the Ming Dynasty is ahead!"
Outside Liangzhou Pass, it has been snowing heavily for several days, and there is still no sign of stopping.
There was such a mighty army, with cattle, sheep and horses, marching slowly in the snow.
"You can see their pass ahead, and we'll arrive there in two or three hours!"
"My brothers have been tired along the way. Let them all camp in place and slaughter a batch of fresh cattle and sheep. Let the soldiers have a good meal tonight and wait until the whole army attacks Liangzhou City tomorrow!"
"As ordered, my subordinates will do it immediately!"
When he heard that there was meat to eat, the messenger was very happy, because they had been marching for more than ten days, and all they ate on the road were frozen hard food and tasteless dried meat.
And tonight I can finally have a good meal. When I go back, I will take off my belt first so that I can eat more meat. Fortunately, it will be warmer in this cold winter weather.
"The spies we sent here haven't received any news for a long time!"
This army is a coalition of multiple countries.
Under normal circumstances, each of their countries is very reluctant to provoke this powerful empire from the south!
I remember that their ancestors, I don’t know how many years ago, would lead their troops southward every winter. Although there were victories and losses, it was because the Han people in the south did not do much defense.
And they used most of their strength!
Later, they remembered that a Han army went directly to the capital of their tribe and drove their ancestors away from this land.
Their only great victory was when the south was called Jin. Their ancestors gained unimaginable wealth, but the good times did not last long. Not long after, they were driven out again.
In the following thousand years, they fought back and forth with the Han people in the south, but rarely got any benefits. Even in the past hundred years, the generals of this dynasty called the Ming Dynasty were unable to fight back.
Especially in recent years, there have been several lunatic-like armies that have even plundered large areas of their grasslands!
The one who was defeated was Wac, who was in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty!
"Commander, there is no need to worry about this. Although I, Wa Ci, have been defeated by the Ming army many times, I already know everything about their current situation!"
"Years of war have emptied their families. They are no longer able to support the huge military expenditures. Even at this time, they have purged a lot of ministers in the court. This is when they need money!"
A general from Wasa stood up and spoke in detail about the situation of the Ming Dynasty that he had heard from their Khan.
"As long as we take Liangzhou by surprise this time and take advantage of Liangzhou's geographical advantages to hold on to the pass, then the Ming Dynasty, which has no military spending and food, will naturally lose without a fight!"
"And this winter we can control the Western Region in our hands, and when next spring comes, we will definitely be able to disintegrate the Ming Dynasty when we send our troops southward!"
"In this way, we can complete the feats of the Liao and Jin Dynasties and restore the glory of the Five Hus!"
According to what the general knew, this information was given by a Han Chinese who wanted to overthrow the rule of the Ming Dynasty. It is said that they have placed spies in the Ming Dynasty's palace!
And I also heard that they successfully carried out small-scale judgments in the country, which seriously affected the recovery and development of the Ming Dynasty. This is consistent with the news learned by the spies they sent to the Ming Dynasty!
"So, as long as Old Man Yan can fight with the emperor in the Ming Dynasty to defeat their master, our five-nation coalition will definitely be able to march south and take Peiping!"
Although Peiping has changed its name at this time, their habit of calling this place has not changed.
"It's easy to say that, even if there is not much food and salary, the Ming army is not just paper!"
Originally, they didn't want to get involved in this flood, but they had no choice but to do so because the Ming Emperor's ambitions were really too great!
Maybe the other emperors were just fighting casually, scaring you and not daring to invade their territory, which was the ultimate goal. But based on their observations, the big-faced emperor on this day seemed to intend to include a large area of northern territory.
Within the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Although the Ming Dynasty seems to be kind now, you have to know that this makes them recuperate and hide their strength!
Once Daming recovers from all his injuries, he will reveal his sharp fangs to you, and you will only end up with a tragic death.
Therefore, they cannot sit still and wait for death, but must take practical actions to prevent this from happening.
"I really don't understand what these Han people think. They hide their eyesight and wait until they recover, which will only take ten years at most, and then they can annex all the surrounding territories. Why do some people want to do this?
Go against this Ming Emperor!"
This news was obtained by members of the Yan family who visited the major tribes in the northwest, and then put all the situations and facts in front of them, and convinced the khans one by one, so that today's coalition army could be formed.
"Why, are you trying to defend that Ming Dynasty emperor?"
"How could it be? I just wish that people like this would appear tomorrow. By then, before they fight outside, they will already be in chaos inside. We can take advantage of the opportunity and sneak in at any time. Money, beauties, and food can be seen everywhere.
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to rob them everywhere?"
The general took another mouthful of suet,
"It's much better than staying here in the north with the freezing weather. If it were me, I'd also like to go to the south in the Ming Dynasty. I heard there's a place called Kun, where it's like spring all year round, and the summer is better than the two of us!
"
"Okay, after we capture Beiping and capture the Ming Emperor alive, if you want to go there, I will divide that province directly for you!"
Although the generals present are all from Beihu, and most of them are rough men, those who can sit in this position have read some books, and many are even proficient in humanities.
As for this place, it is located in what the Ming Dynasty called the Southern Barbarians. It is desolate and backward. Apart from a slightly better environment, it seems that there are really no other advantages.
It’s a place to retire!
"Really, if we defeat it, none of you will try to rob it from me!"
"Haha, I definitely won't compete with you. Even if that place is given to us for free, we will have to think about it for a long time!"
"What else are you considering? Considering such a good place, how could you not want to!"
Although the generals say so, many people still have reason in their hearts. Can everything really go as smoothly as they say?
