Beiyuan cannot afford to delay it.

Especially in this winter.

The severe cold in the grasslands has caused many people to starve and freeze to death.

At this time in previous years, the tribes on the grassland had already exchanged enough food and hid in their tents for the winter.

But now that you have been summoned by Beiyuan Khan, all the tribes have mobilized.

This time, Bei Yuan has unprecedented unity. All the nobles know very well that if they cannot break the Ming Dynasty's blockade at once, then the days to come will become very difficult.

Their comfortable life will be gone, and everything they enjoy daily will become extremely expensive.

A large number of tribesmen cannot even find women to reproduce more offspring.

Today's coarse salt may be more expensive than snowflake salt, and medicinal materials are even more unimaginable. A large number of tribesmen will die due to various diseases.

Once a plague occurs, it will be a disaster for a tribe or even multiple tribes.

So even if it was for themselves, they had to break the Ming Dynasty's blockade.

The first thing is to make the Ming Dynasty surrender.

"This time we warriors are full of strong faith. The immortals are in heaven and will take care of our grassland."

"Da Ming will definitely be punished by Changshengtian this time."

In the central tent of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, nobles from various tribes gathered together. The huge tent was full of people, a large number of fires were raised, and the fat cattle and sheep were continuously roasted, and then distributed to the hands of many nobles.

.

They greedily felt the taste of the food, because if the Ming Dynasty's blockade could not be broken, the already expensive seasonings on the barbecue might no longer be affordable for many of the nobles present.

Thinking that they would only be able to eat rough salt in the future, many nobles suddenly became angry.

The ministers of Beiyuan looked at these nobles with only contempt in their eyes.

In the big tent, the Northern Yuan officials and the tribal nobles were clearly distinguished. In the hearts of the Northern Yuan officials, these tribal nobles were just uncivilized barbarians.

As the emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Elbek also seemed to care very little about the tribes.

Even though he lost control of the Central Plains, the etiquette and knowledge he learned from the capital of the Yuan Dynasty when he was young, even when he returns to the grassland and looks at these former tribesmen.

There will still be a high sense of superiority.

However, it is not a banquet at present, but a meeting of the highest level in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, which is similar to the court meeting of the Ming Dynasty.

The emergence of barbecue is also due to tribal nobles.

Facing the tribal nobles who ate meat and drank alcohol, the officials in the Northern Yuan Dynasty only tasted the food. This performance made Elbek feel very satisfied.

This conference can be regarded as an encouragement to those who have made contributions to the tribe.

The battle lasted for five days, and the situation was tense, which was very unfavorable to Bei Yuan.

"This time, I specially want to reward a warrior, and that is the leader of the Qilghis tribe, Guilichi."

As Elbek spoke, the tent suddenly became quiet.

And Gui Lichi also stepped forward calmly.

At this time, Elbek could not have imagined that the person who would end the residual power in history would be the ghost Lichi in front of him.

And a few years later, he was defeated by the person in front of him and died at his hands.

"Dear Khan, this is what I should do."

Guilichi stroked his chest and lowered his head and said.

It's just that his eyes are a little erratic.

As a member of the Kyrgyz tribe, Guilichi has always denied the suzerainty of Elbek.

He felt that Elbek, who grew up in the Central Plains, was no longer a warrior on the grasslands and was no longer under the care of the Immortal God.

The entire Northern Yuan Dynasty was nothing more than a group of remnant soldiers and defeated generals.

Guilichi has his own ambitions. The powerful Qilghis tribe already has a large number of warriors. He only needs to occupy a few more tribes to have a strength close to that of Elbek.

Although in terms of soldiers, generals and armaments, my tribe is currently far behind Elbek's cavalry.

But he had seen Elbek's 100,000 cavalry before and dismissed them.

These cavalrymen have grown up in the pampered Central Plains for a long time, and they no longer have the majesty of the prairie warriors.

The warriors under his command are all brave and good at fighting. Even if their weapons are far inferior, one of them can defeat three of them.

If the Ming Dynasty had not suddenly blocked the grassland this time, after annexing several tribes and growing stronger in a few years, Can Yuan's rule in the grassland would have been overthrown.

It's just a pity that the plan can't keep up with the changes.

In today's situation, only by uniting and abandoning previous prejudices can we gain room for breathing.

Even he didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty would be so direct this time and completely block the grassland. In this way, the previous plan had completely failed.

Getting through the disaster ahead is the key.

"Ghost Lichi, among the many warriors, the warriors of your tribe are the most powerful. I heard that in the past few days, you led your tribe to capture five gaps in the Great Wall and killed hundreds of people from the Ming Dynasty.

The soldiers took back more than a hundred sets of armor alone."

"There are also more than a hundred matchlock guns that the Ming Dynasty relies on most."

"I will reward you with all these things. In addition, during this campaign against the Ming Dynasty, I will cancel my suzerainty over you. Everything your own tribe robbed will belong to you."

Elbek apparently also made a lot of concessions, which caused an uproar among the other tribal nobles present.

As the ruler of this grassland, Beiyuan has suzerainty.

The biggest aspect of suzerainty is the collection of spoils from subordinate tribes, which is similar to the concept of collecting taxes in the Ming Dynasty.

Especially in a battle like this, according to the suzerainty, Elbek could take half or even more than half of Guilichi's spoils.

But this time I gave up.

Guilichi immediately prostrated himself on the ground: "Thanks to the great Elbek Khan, the Qilis tribe will become your sharpest spear, piercing the heart of Ming Dynasty fiercely."

In fact, Guilichi also knew that Elbek was flattering or even isolating himself, but in the face of such a huge temptation, Guilichi certainly couldn't bear it.

Agreeing to this also means that in future wars, his tribe will be sent to attack the most difficult places.

Gui Lichi was not afraid of this.

He wanted the warriors of his tribe to transform through blood and fire in war after war and become the most powerful tribe on the entire grassland.

...

"These prairie barbarians are really not afraid of death. Not to mention starting a war in such cold weather, they are not afraid of death."

"What are you afraid of? No matter how many people he comes, can he still break our Great Wall? Let alone 200,000 cavalry, so what if another 200,000 come? I still don't think it's enough to kill him. Yesterday, my side

We killed almost 400 cavalrymen and captured 187 horses. How is the situation over there?"

"I'm not as lucky as you, but I also captured one hundred and twenty war horses, hehe."

"What a good guy, I saw your frown just now and thought you didn't have much to gain, but I didn't expect you had so much."

"Hey, isn't this much less than you?"

Two familiar Chihus were walking and chatting.

At present, the casualties of the Ming Dynasty are extremely low. If one or two thousand people die in such a battle, it really means nothing.

If the slave army is included in the Beiyuan side, tens of thousands of people have died.

Even talking about the prairie cavalry, there are seven to eight thousand in number.

This is equivalent to the cavalry strength of several tribes.

This is because of the bravery of the Guilichi tribe and a certain breakthrough, otherwise the losses would have been even greater.

For military attachés, the most valuable thing about the prairie cavalry is the war horse.

The credit for not capturing a single war horse is very great, and it is a very important item when judging merit and rewards.

Of course, one or two hundred horses seems to be a lot, but when allocated to a thousand households, it does not seem to be a lot. Especially according to the current credit calculation of the Ming Dynasty, everyone who goes to the battlefield must be allocated

.

Even auxiliary soldiers will enjoy a certain share, even if it is a small share.

But for the soldiers, these are a huge reward.

At this moment, a military meeting was also being held in the camp where Lan Yu was located.

Why was Zhu Yuanzhang afraid of Lan Yu, and why he had to kill more than 15,000 officers in Lan Yu.

At this point, the blue jade at this moment reflects it vividly.

The large tent was full of soldiers. After Lan Yu appeared, they all sat upright. When Lan Yu walked to the main seat, all the generals bowed respectfully and said in unison: "Meet the general."

With this kind of magnificence, it is possible for a general transferred general soldier to have such power.

And Lan Yu had long been accustomed to everything that happened in front of her.
