This place is not too far from the northern border of Tianzhu. Because it is blocked by green ridges and high mountains, the air-conditioning in the Western Regions cannot get through, and the climate is not as cold as the Western Regions.
At the end of last year, Guo Jia led his elephant soldiers to drive the elephants on the road. Taking advantage of King Chaori's hasty trip south, he took all the elephants to live in Moyun Mountain.
Even so, more than ten elephants were lost.
The other elephants have been preserved intact and are temporarily hidden in Moyun Mountain. Even in seclusion, because of the existence of more than a hundred elephants, it is not easy to just raise these elephants.
Fortunately, after Guo Jia had established a firm foothold, he had already made contact with Lu Xuan. Xun Yu specially arranged for people to supply grain and grass from the Congling border, and he successfully survived the cold winter and survived until spring came.
In the Western Region in late March, although the weather got warmer, it was still a bit chilly.
Now in Tianzhu, it has warmed up early.
This is caused by Tianzhu’s climate.
Generally speaking, it prefers a hot climate. The further south you go, the hotter the climate becomes. The southernmost areas are already very hot in March and April.
A military camp for more than 300 people.
Guo Jia was having a heart-to-heart talk with a Tianzhu soldier.
This was what Guo Jia had arranged continuously in the months after arriving at Moyun Mountain. He kept talking to the Tianzhu soldiers, so that the Tianzhu elephant soldiers knew the situation of the Ming Dynasty, knew that there was a good life in the Ming Dynasty, and also understood the lowliness of the lower class soldiers of Tianzhu.
As this continued, these elephant soldiers from Tianzhu had already followed the Ming Dynasty wholeheartedly, and they were even more convinced by Guo Jia.
After Guo Jia had a conversation with Tianzhu Bing, he let people go down.
He stretched and relaxed again.
Today's life is quiet, leisurely and carefree, except for the lack of drinks and women. If I could listen to music and sing, my life would be very comfortable.
Unfortunately, this is not possible today.
We can only wait until Tianzhu is destroyed before thinking about it.
When Guo Jia was alone in a daze, there was a sound of footsteps, and it was Huang Zhong who entered.
Although Huang Zhong was old, he was in good spirits. He saluted Guo Jia and said: "Commander Guo, I have thoroughly understood the situation of our going south from Moyun Mountain. Going south from our place, there is a nearby city called Moyun City.
The town is named after Moyun Mountain."
"This city doesn't have many troops, only a thousand people at most."
"It's easy to take over Moyun City."
"The problem now is the situation in Tianzhu. According to the information we found, King Chaori was originally sending troops north in early January. He went north to the direction close to Congling, but his troops came down and did not continue to march."
"This is a little weird."
Huang Zhong said in a deep voice: "Currently, His Majesty has not taken any action. I don't know what His Majesty's plan is."
Guo Jia looked relaxed and said with a smile: "General Han Sheng, in fact, the reason why King Chaori will not go to the Western Regions for the time being is very simple. The climate in the Western Regions around March is still relatively bad and is not suitable for Tianzhu soldiers to fight. Therefore, he is waiting for the time being.
Of course, it may also be to further understand the intelligence of the Western Region."
Huang Zhong said: "Commander Guo is right."
Guo Jia said: "Now we have to further hide our whereabouts and we must not be discovered. Otherwise, if King Chaori's army comes to kill, all the elephants we have will have to be released into the mountains."
Huang Zhong looked lucky and said with emotion: "Thanks to the fact that when we arrived, Military Advisor Guo contacted General Manager Xun and sent a large amount of supplies. Otherwise, based on the consumption of our army, the consumption of more than a hundred elephants
, I can’t bear it no matter what.”
Guo Jia smiled and said: "We are just waiting for the news now. I believe that His Majesty will send troops soon. As long as His Majesty sends troops, our place of use will come. Han is promoted to General, and be patient. The time will come soon.
Already."
Huang Zhong nodded again.
The reason why he came to see Guo Jia was actually because he was a little impatient.
After all, it's almost April.
The weather is getting warmer little by little, but there has been no news from Daming.
"Report!"
At this moment, a soldier flew in.
The soldiers entered the camp, bowed and saluted and said: "Commander Guo, General Huang, we have an urgent report from your majesty."
"Come expressly."
Guo Jia's eyes lit up and he looked excited.
After he took the letter from the soldier, he quickly browsed it. After Guo Jia read the content of the letter, he handed it to Huang Zhong and said: "General Han Sheng, your Majesty has sent troops. Next, we will also
We have to prepare. Your Majesty will lead a large army to attack. When the army confronts the army of King Chaori of Tianzhu, let us take the opportunity to lead the war elephants to crush King Chaori's army and create an opportunity for His Majesty to attack."
Huang Zhong said happily: "This can definitely be done."
He suddenly stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the last time King Chaori was defeated by the war elephant. This time, if he loses to the elephant again, and it is also an elephant he trained in the past, what do you think?
Will he be so angry that he vomits blood?"
Guo Jia smiled and said: "This is completely possible."
At this moment, Guo Jia looked at Huang Zhong and ordered: "General Han Sheng, go and prepare for the subsequent war."
"As you command!"
Huang Zhong hurriedly went to make arrangements.
Guo Jia looked at Huang Zhong's leaving figure and couldn't help but smile softly.
Huang Zhong is anxious!
Why isn't he anxious?
He is also looking forward to the decisive battle to destroy King Chaori and capture the territory of Tianzhu.
…
To the west of Congling, within the territory of Tianzhu.
Lanshi City.
This is the location where King Chaori is currently stationed.
After King Chaori led his army north from Huashi City, it was only late February and not yet March when he arrived at Lanshi City. The climate in Lanshi City was much colder than that in Huashi City, let alone entering Congling.
Western Region.
King Chaori temporarily ordered the garrison to stay in Lanshi City.
Now that we have entered April, the weather is getting warmer and warmer. Whether it is the soldiers of the army or the war elephants, everything has become more relaxed, easier to move, and more conducive to combat.
King Chaori is also preparing to go to war.
On this day, after King Chaori inspected the army, he personally asked some people who were familiar with the climate to learn about the recent climate in the Western Regions.
The result he got was that the Western Region was also getting warmer.
Chaori King was even more determined to fight.
When King Chaori was about to make arrangements, Vishnu came to the residence where King Chaori lived. He looked anxious and reported: "Your Majesty, you have the latest information from the Western Regions."
King Chaori asked: "What happened?"
Vishnu replied: "Lu Xuan sent out troops. He came with an army of more than 100,000 people and came in a mighty manner."
King Chaori stood up abruptly, his eyes sharp.
Lu Xuan actually dared to kill him.
What a courage.
King Chaori paced back and forth, thought for a while, and said, "I didn't expect Lu Xuan to actually come and attack my Tianzhu."
He thought for a while and asked again: "Lu Xuan is here with his army. Have the troops from the Western Regions been mobilized?"
"have!"
Vishnu quickly answered and explained: "Lu Xuan issued an order that any nobles from the Western Regions who are willing to come to fight in the Western Regions can lead troops to participate in the war. Therefore, a full 60,000 to 70,000 elite nobles from the Western Regions participated in this battle.
"
"Looking from a distance, Lu Xuan has a lot of troops, as many as 160,000 to 70,000 people."
"Currently, we don't have many troops."
"If we want to crush Lu Xuan's army in terms of military strength, we must recruit further soldiers."
Vishnu said solemnly: "Please make a decision, His Majesty the King."
King Chaori frowned.
The number of Lu Xuan's troops greatly exceeded his expectations.
King Chaori gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "These damn Western Region untouchables, Tianzhu's army has arrived in the Western Region. These people resisted and refused to participate in the war. In the end, they were forcibly transferred, and only then did the Western Region soldiers join the war."
"Now Lu Xuan starts the war, and tens of thousands of people come directly."
"This has led to our situation being so bad."
"Once we capture the Western Region, we must make all the untouchables in the Western Region become Dalits."
King Chaori vented his anger, rolled his eyes, and said: "Since the situation is unfavorable, let's change our strategy. Our army will continue to stay in Lan's City, waiting for Lu Xuan's army to come, and use Lan's City to defend. In addition,
, our war elephants failed to win last time, this time after Lu Xuan garrisoned, we will try to find another opportunity to let the war elephants attack Lu Xuan's army."
Vishnu breathed a sigh of relief. It would be very irrational to have a head-on confrontation once the numbers of the army were greatly different.
Vishnu was completely relieved by King Chaori's arrangement.
Vishnu said: "Your Majesty the King, I will immediately make arrangements to publicize the news of Lu Xuan's killing and encourage the soldiers in the army to prepare for battle. This time, we will completely defeat Lu Xuan."
King Chaori's eyes were bright and he said: "Not only do we want to defeat Lu Xuan, but we also want to enter the Western Region and enter the Ming Dynasty."
Vishnu nodded solemnly.
Then, get up and leave.
King Chaori looked at Vishnu leaving, and although he was a little worried about the small number of troops, he still had hope and fighting spirit.
Tianzhu is his home field.
Tianzhu is his advantage.
Even though he has fewer troops in this battle, he will definitely win.
