Temujin, a prodigy of the grasslands, was still old after all. After a serious illness, he returned to the rear and slowly recuperated, although he had obviously recovered.
However, it is obvious that his energy level is no longer what it was when he was young.
However, the wolf king on the grassland is still a wolf king. Even an old wolf king still has his own sharpness and edge, and he is more sophisticated than when he was very young.
News of the Jin army's dispatch of troops and horses came out in each of the three states. How could the sophisticated Temujin not know the Jin army's evil intentions?
Temujin was not only an emperor, but also a commander-in-chief, a combination of politician and military strategist. Of course he could see that the Jin army, which had just experienced a great war, at this time, no matter from which aspect,
It is impossible to have an all-out war with Yuan Meng.
Think about it, although the Battle of Shu was a huge victory, how much sacrifice was made in this process? Just the Battle of Yangping and the Battle of Peicheng, these two bloody battles were completely heaped with blood
Yes, it was human lives that forcibly pushed open the dangerous barriers of these two fortified cities.
Although the Battle of Baishui Pass became a lot easier after Yang Xuangan joined, Yang Xuangan joined last. Will there be fewer casualties in the early battle?
These are just the main battles, not to mention the minor battles!
In the Battle of Jingbei, both sides were even more foolhardy. Before Zhuge Liang made a comeback, the Jin army kept losing and losing again.
In the Battle of Sizhou, even eight passes were burned so much, how could the damage be sustained?
Therefore, Temujin could clearly judge that the battle situation between the two sides in Xizhou, coupled with the fact that the Jin army was now sending troops to the three northern states, was also a limit for the Jin army.
It is impossible for the Jin army to continue to increase investment!
He doesn't have that ability either!
At this stage, the Jin Army's first priority is always to recuperate, resume production and the series of military expansion plans it has made before!
Therefore, despite the fact that at first glance, all the grassland borders are ignited with flames of war, Temujin does not really regard it as the most important thing at all. What is the most important thing, it is of course an all-out war between the two forces!
At this level, it is impossible to hold them back, and they are still far from an all-out war!
In other words, neither the Yuan, Meng or Jin armies were far from ready for a full-scale war.
Is this kind of hindrance useful? It must be useful. At least it is impossible for Yuan and Meng to continue to increase their troops in the Western Regions. The intensity of intervention between the Manchu and Qing Dynasties and Yuan and Meng in the east must also be reduced to a bottom line.
The possibility of direct military intervention is even slimmer.
But it would be nonsense to say that this kind of holding back behavior can play the most critical role!
Since Li Xiang has been fighting for so many years, in every battle he has fought, has the princes of the world not been held back?
Was it the Battle of Yongliang or the Battle of Jingbei? As for the Battle of Shu, it turned into a world war!
Although the pressure was great when he was being held back, when had Li Xiang ever flinched? If some things are meant to be retreated before advancing, if he just retreated because he was held back, would he still be able to achieve a great career?
?
Some roads are not smooth to begin with. You need to constantly face difficulties and cut through the thorns with the sword in your hand. Obviously, this kind of being held back is one of the thorns.
Temujin is also a hero with great talent and strategy. Will he shrink back when he is held back? If the Jin army is at its weakest in history, if he does not bite the bullet and completely solve the Western Region, is it possible?
Don't they have to wait until the Jin army regains its strength before the two sides start competing for the interests of the Western Regions?
Furthermore, when Temujin fought on the grasslands before, he was not hindered by other grassland forces and even the Jin army. But was Temujin ever afraid?
Therefore, despite the flames of war igniting on almost the entire grassland border, Temujin made no preparations to send troops back from the Western Regions, but instead dispatched reinforcements and strong generals to the borders of the three states in a hurry.
However, the subsequent changes in the development of the battle made Temujin somewhat troubled!
The situation in Hezhou is not bad. Meng Gong is a very typical defensive general. The gap between his defensive ability and his active offensive ability is quite big.
Moreover, Meng Gong's most important thing was to provide cover for Wang Baobao in Bingzhou. Therefore, he basically achieved no significant results along the way, and thus achieved the most basic purpose of sending troops, which was to contain Yuan and Meng's excess troops.
Under the cover of Meng Gong, Wang Baobao's progress was quite smooth. The tribe of military ministers was attacked by Wang Baobao, and the losses were considerable. Even the military minister himself died in this battle.
The north of Bingzhou was originally the territory of the Xiongnu before this, but there were many old nobles of the Xiongnu entrenched here, but after the establishment of Yuanmeng, these people became the old nobles of Yuanmeng.
A large number of these people, even if they do not openly support Maodun's ideas, are still inclined towards it.
Although Temujin ostensibly gave them more pasture in order to dismantle this combination of old aristocratic forces, he actually allowed them to migrate to all directions, especially the land they conquered later, such as the later Xianbei in the west.
The territory may be the current Yuanmeng.
Even with these experiences as a basis, Temujin has already considered whether to establish several small khanates and entrust them to his sons in the territory in the Western Region that he has now conquered.
After all, if the war continues, it will be difficult to manage in the future, and the feudal khanate will be helpful for Yuan and Meng to rule these newly conquered territories.
Furthermore, Temujin was very optimistic about Kublai Khan, and Kublai Khan's achievements had always lived up to Temujin's high expectations.
However, although Temujin's behavior of reemploying Han people made Yuanmeng more powerful, it also offended many established Yuanmeng nobles. The growth of a new interest group will definitely damage the interests of the original interest groups. Furthermore,
Many conservative-minded Yuanmeng people also criticized Kublai Khan's actions.
Among these people, there are also veteran generals headed by Temujin's right-hand man Zhebie and Subotai. Therefore, the other sons headed by Tolei also have a certain support rate.
The reason why Temujin wanted to adopt this method was to ease the issue of heirs.
Although there are definitely hidden dangers, no political measure is completely without hidden dangers, at least it is beneficial to the current Yuanmeng.
Returning to Bingzhou, although the old Xiongnu nobles in the northern part of Bingzhou have been moved to all directions, it is certainly impossible to move all of them. Some of them are still left behind, and military ministers are one of them!
