As the saying goes, no one has died in life since ancient times. He keeps his loyalty and cherishes it for history. He fights for the lives of tens of thousands of brothers to protect the people of the Central Plains from being poisoned by the Tatars. It sounds very tragic and heroic, but the gain outweighs the loss and is harmful to the great cause of national restoration. Everyone here
The civil and military officials were all people who had passed the age of enthusiasm. After hearing Yuan Feng's words, not only did they not feel excited, but they shook their heads slightly and came forward to remonstrate in turn.
Yuan Feng smiled slightly and said: "I am not the kind of person who is just looking for fame. I will not trade the lives of my sons for the support of the people. I am doing this because reinforcements have arrived and the Tatars' military advantage cannot be maintained for long."
The atmosphere suddenly became lively, and all the sadness on everyone's faces was wiped away. The Xiliang cavalry was invincible in the world, and Xiliang firearms were famous far and wide. Even the Great Zhou Dynasty and Meng Yuan could not stop the Xiliang cavalry. Since the Yuan Dynasty, they have been fighting for hegemony.
In the world, since the war in the Central Plains, all soldiers and generals recruited from Shaanxi, Gansu and Henan have been recruited from scratch. Their own troops have not been used at all. They have all the good cards in their hands and have not played any of them. If they are played now, they will not be bombarded.
The enemy's skin is torn, the outside is burnt and the inside is tender.\
In this case, everyone had nothing to worry about and left happily. Yuan Feng returned to the back tent, but his face became gloomy. Liu Ying'er, who had been silent all the time, quietly followed him in, stood behind him and said: "Actually, there is nothing
There aren’t any reinforcements, right?”
Yuan Feng turned around and saw Liu Ying'er, and smiled helplessly: "You are still smart, but the reinforcements do exist, but the schedule has not been determined. I don't know whether they will arrive in a month or a year."
"Then you still lied to them?" Liu Ying'er's eyes widened.
"The fear of Tatars is spreading in the army, so we have to use this method to improve their morale. This is also a helpless move. As for Li Shanchang and Xu Da, if I don't say this, they will definitely insist on withdrawing their troops.\"
Liu Ying'er shook her head and said, "Then what are you going to do now? How will it end if you blow your cover?"
Yuan Feng said: "Then it depends on you."
"Me?" Liu Ying'er's eyes widened again, "Are you overestimating me?"
"I believe you can find a way."
Liu Ying'er tilted her head and thought for a while, and finally said: "Actually, there is no way, the key is the cooperation of the other party. What kind of role do you think the Mongolian Khan is?"
Yuan Fengdao said: "He was born into a noble family. He was young and frivolous, but he was also clever and cunning. He had both the strategy of the Han and the bravery of the Mongols.\"
Liu Ying'er said: "According to your statement, he must be a smart man, so it will be easy to handle."
Yuan Feng was greatly puzzled. Liu Ying'er smiled proudly and said, "Come over here."
…
To everyone's surprise, the Mongolian army, which had fought successively and gained great momentum, suddenly stopped its march southward and stopped at the front line of Shandong.
Jinan Mansion, on the bank of Daming Lake, the royal tent of Mongol Khan Mandu Gule is pitched here. Today he received two groups of guests in succession, one group was the servile and condescending envoys of the Zhou Dynasty, and the other group was the aggressive and arrogant Han Dynasty.
Military envoy.
At present, Mongolia and the Zhou Dynasty had a secret agreement to exchange land for troops. The envoy came to deliver gold and silver as promised. Looking at the two large boxes of gold ingots piled on the carpet, Mandu Gule just touched his chin and nodded lightly.
Nodding: "Okay, let's move down.\"
The envoy still wanted to say something, but Mandugu Le looked impatient and waved his hand to let the envoy be taken out. Just as the envoy of Zhou walked out of the tent, a tall and strong Han envoy pushed aside the guards and rushed in.
Come in.
Just as the guard was about to draw his knife, Mandu Gule sternly stopped him: "This is a person sent by Anda, don't be rude."
As he spoke, he put on a smile and said, "Brother Shungerile, what kind of wind brought you here?"
This Han envoy named Nashungerile belongs to the Mongolian people. He was previously incorporated into the Turkic army. After the Xiliang War, he surrendered to the Han army and became a guard of Yuanfeng. Last year, he traveled thousands of miles to escort Mandu Gule.
He was the one who led the team when they returned to the desert of northern Xinjiang. They went through all kinds of hardships to ensure the safety of Mandugu Le. After all, Mandugu Le still owed him a favor.
Nasungerile said proudly: "I'm here to declare a challenge."
Mandu Gule's eyes widened in surprise: "Why is this? Didn't our three families agree to share three parts of the world? Doesn't it mean that Brother Yuanfeng doesn't want me, Anda?"
Nasungerile said: "It was you who betrayed your faith first and swallowed up a thousand-man army of ours. We, the Han army, share the same hatred and want to avenge our brothers who died unjustly. Now the King of Han has ordered me to come and deliver a message to you. You
If you want to fight, then fight, the time and place are whatever you choose."
Mandu Gule laughed loudly: "I, Anda, is still so straightforward and heroic! But this time he was wrong. I have never forgotten my original oath. How could a Mongolian man break his oath in front of the Immortal Heaven?
Well, there must be a misunderstanding about this matter. Then Brother Shun, please go down and rest first, and I will get back to you after I find out.\"
Shungrile was an upright man. After hearing what Mandugule said, he said nothing more and went down to rest.
Because he had been kind to the Great Khan, and he was a Mongolian, and everyone was the descendant of Genghis Khan. His bones were broken and his tendons were connected, so the reception was extremely generous. The big tent was covered with a thick wool carpet, and there were golden dishes.
There were grapes, watermelon and other fruits, plump roasted mutton stuck on iron tongs, and kumiss was drunk to the heart's content. Mongolian musicians played the Morin Fhuur to accompany the meal, and two good-looking Mongolian women danced to add to the fun.
Nashungeril was encouraged by a group of Mongolian generals to drink as much as he wanted. The banquet lasted from day to night. Nashungeril, who had a good capacity for drinking, could not help but get drunk. When people are drunk, they talk a lot.
A man who was specially arranged to tell lies, Shungerile knew everything and told him everything, and leaked all the details of the Han army.\
"We Mongolians have an old saying, you can't cook two sheep heads in one pot. Sooner or later, we, the King of Han, will have a battle with your Khan..."
"Don't look at how arrogant you are now, you will be finished soon..."
"Don't bother asking, I don't know anything, and I won't tell you if you ask..."
"Five million Xiliang elite cavalry...the artillery team...take the back road..."
Nasungerile, who was completely drunk, uttered some words in Mongolian ancient dialect that made the attendants tremble with fear, and then fell asleep. Several generals who accompanied the attendants looked at each other, and they all got up and rushed to report the sweat.

…
Mandu Gule was sitting on the Grand Master's chair with a book of "The Art of War" in front of him. He was a true descendant of the royal family and had a good understanding of Han culture. The Han people have a saying that soldiers never tire of deceit. How many words did Shunge Rile say?
Which part is true and which part is false is worth considering.
The success of Mandu Gule in reaching this stage depends on opportunities and adventures, but more importantly, it is indeed accurate judgment. The Zhou people switched the switch and invited the Mongols to go south. It was forced by the situation and was a last resort. Moreover, at that time, they were in the grassland.
Above, Mandu Gule's power is not that big, so this risk can be taken, and it is worth taking.
But things are different now. Mandu Gule has become the great Khan of the Mongols, has regained most of the capital, and controlled a large area of Han people's land. The original strategic purpose has been achieved, and there is no need to take risks now.\
He knows how strong Yuan Feng is. The Xiliang cavalry are also mainly nomadic people. They have been fighting all year round and have rich experience. In a real fight, he will not be able to take advantage. According to people who have come from the Western Regions, the war there is indeed about to begin.
Once the situation is pacified, the army will then march eastward and northward, and after a while, all the previous efforts will be wasted.
Mandu Gule knew a Chinese proverb, "You can't bite off more than you can chew. If you really want to fight again and drink the Yangtze River, it will not only anger Yuan Feng, but also make the Zhou people anxious. What if the two of them are in danger?"
If they join forces, they will be blinded.
Conquering the world is not a matter of time. Didn't it take decades for our ancestors to conquer the Song Dynasty? The situation is so complicated. It is better to figure it out slowly, preserve our strength, stabilize the rear, digest and occupy the land, and provoke the Han and Zhou armies to fight against each other.
Fighting and benefiting yourself is the best policy.\
…
The next day, Mandu Gule met with Nasung Rile again, and the Great Khan said sadly: "After investigation, the Jinan incident was purely a misunderstanding. The young men thought it was the Zhou army, so they attacked and injured their brothers.
I'm very sad, but things are irreversible. I don't think it's better than this. I'll compensate you with 500 horses and 10,000 taels of silver."
Shungerile didn't expect that things would change so quickly. He just came to issue a challenge. He didn't dare to make any decisions when faced with the changing situation. He could only send a message back and wait for the King of Han's decision.
What Mandu Gule wanted was to delay time. He sent Nashungrile away with a smile, and began to deploy defenses, reconnoiter the enemy's situation, eradicate dissidents, and stabilize his control.
…
The Mongols suddenly stopped advancing and stopped fighting the Han army. The emperor's plan failed. He became furious and thundered in the Yangxin Hall. Now the emperor's body and bones are getting worse and worse, his temperament has also changed greatly, and his voice has changed.
He became loud and shrill, irritable and eccentric, and would wake up at the slightest disturbance while sleeping, causing the eunuchs to complain endlessly.
Moreover, he no longer visited any concubines, but he cared deeply for Concubine Cui, who was pregnant with the dragon seed. He would summon her from time to time and give her some gifts. Princess Anle, who was deeply favored by the emperor in the past, could not be seen for ten days and a half now.
Father's side.
After the second prince surrendered to Yanjing, he led his troops to station in the Dengzhou and Laizhou areas. According to the secret agreement, Shandong Peninsula was still owned by the army. This group of troops maintained contact with the capital through sea routes, and could be regarded as a force planted behind enemy lines.
ambush.
The Mongols did not merge with the Han army as planned. As the initiator of this strategy, the second prince was also on pins and needles and couldn't help but send an envoy to urge Mandu Gule to advance the army quickly. However, he waited for a surprising news.
Mandu Gule asked to get married to Da Zhou and marry Her Royal Highness Princess Anle.
