When Tuo Lei sent his army into the Central Plains, he issued a strict order, requiring all ministries not to attack the city or indulge in the interests of a certain place. They must only burn, kill, loot and expand their influence, so as to disturb the great Zhou Dynasty with the chaos in the Central Plains.
Troops were stationed everywhere.
The reason for this is that Tuo Lei has actually suffered from the Han army, so he is more wary of the Han people's force than anyone else. He must be ready at any time to gather for battle and even long-distance attack, defense, and transfer.
Although there were military orders, the prosperity of the Central Plains and Han Dynasty was beyond imagination.
There may be a few cities with prosperous commerce in the Western Region, but there will never be countless villages and towns stretching for hundreds of miles, all of which can be targeted for robbery. When the Mongols first invaded the Central Plains, all the participants were red-eyed and trembling with profits.
Later, when Genghis Khan intended to shrink, he had to immediately make a plan for the Western Expedition to satisfy the growing appetite of the Mongols. At this time, they were returning to the territory of the Han people, which was still the land of the Central Plains. How could the Mongols
Can you control it?
They are like drooling wolves, their stomachs are full of food, and their minds are filled with the aroma of flesh and blood. They have forgotten what their mission is, and the same is true for Tuo Lei!
In fact, two days ago, he was angry that the Zhou army on the other side of the Yellow River was immobile. But after two days, he only thought about how to launch a large-scale war in the Central Plains to force the Zhou army to take action. However, he never thought that the enemy's unknown movements meant that
transfer of initiative on the battlefield.
Will Genghis Khan's plan to lead a large number of troops to wait for work fail to be implemented? What should I do if the subsequent steps of the good office plan go wrong?
If you take a step back and think about it, Guo Ning is so cunning and wise. If you fight against him, you will suffer a loss if you are not careful.
The delay in the arrival of the main force of the Zhou army could not be due to delay or daring to fight. It only proves that the enemy is really sure... They feel that even if they suddenly encounter the enemy in the Central Plains and suffer heavy losses, it will still be enough to fight with Tuo Lei! So, Tuo Lei
Should we just spread out our troops as usual and wait for the Han men to surround and fight?
Looking at the information received at this time, ten or twenty of our own cavalry encountered the enemy and were damaged... Everyone was too relaxed!
Tuo Lei looked around and found that the large number of Na Ke'er who had been surrounding him had been sent out to investigate. The order was given half a moment ago, and the Na Ke'er did not dare to delay and immediately rode away. Now the slowest ones,
You can only see the back from a distance on the high slope.
The order was given too hastily, and Tuo Lei suddenly regretted it. What the Na Ke'er people found out must be the news that Han'ers from all over the country were desperately fighting back, and that their own side was suffering losses one after another. There were even reports that many Na Ke'er would be killed along the way.
When intercepted, he died a violent death.
From the grasslands to the Central Plains, and then to the Western Regions, after more than 20 years of high-intensity war, Tuo Lei will no longer regard the Mongols as endless weeds. The number of Mongols is limited, and it is necessary to maintain the Mongol Uluth in the vast territory.
To maintain hegemony in the Western Regions, the Mongols must maintain sufficient numbers.
However, there were so many Han'er that they couldn't kill them all in just ten days.
At this moment, Tuo Lei's headquarters is like a fleet floating in the vast ocean. Tuo Lei has heard merchants repeatedly talk about the horror of the vast sea. When the weather is calm, it is not obvious at all. Everyone thinks that they are comfortable on the sea, but
Once a huge wave rises, even a ship as big as a castle tower is no more reliable than a piece of wood.
The Han people in the Central Plains faced by the Mongols were like a vast ocean. If all those Han people rebelled and exchanged ten Han people's lives for one Mongolian life, it would be a loss for the Mongols!
Thinking of this, Tuo Lei once again issued an order in a deep voice: "Send fifty people out and tell all the ministries you pass by to ignore the scattered enemies in front of you and assemble as soon as possible where you have thousands of households!"
"Assemble?"
A thousand households next to me have not forgotten our initial difficulties. In the middle of winter, so many people have to rob their horses and chews. If they don’t spread out and plunder, they may not join forces to attack a certain big city? He then laughed and said:
"Gathered together, what shall we eat? Let's..."
Halfway through his words, Tu Lei Bao shouted: "Shut up!"
The Qianhu were startled. Seeing Tuo Lei's ugly face, the subordinates did not dare to say anything more. Instead, Na Ke'er gently came up and knelt down: "Fourth Prince, we have a problem."
Tuo Lei scolded angrily: "What's the difficulty?"
"Nowadays, the various departments are dispersed, and the number of couriers running daily has increased to more than two hundred. Just now, another fifty people were sent out in one go... We don't have enough golden round symbols representing identities on hand."
"If you don't have enough golden talismans, just use my gold medal! If the gold medal is not enough..." Tuo Lei cursed and threw the riding crop casually: "Just take my riding whip!"
The second batch of Naka'ers dispersed with a bang.
Because they sensed the commander's emotions, these Nak'er men whipped their horses and whips faster than the previous group.
Several captains did not want to get into trouble, so they all left with excuses. After all, thousands of cavalry were gathered outside Kaifeng City, and the necessary vigilance was indispensable. Tuo Lei stared at their backs until they completely disappeared at the end of the wilderness.
Then he looked away.
At this moment, only Guo Baoyu and his subordinates were left beside Tuo Lei.
Tuo Lei asked: "Have you gathered any useful people these days?"
"We recruited more than two thousand people the day before yesterday because we wanted to test their loyalty and sent them to Guide Mansion. In the past two days, we have gained nothing."
"Is the benefit given not enough? Or is the official position promised not high enough? Have you told them that this time I have been granted full power by the Great Khan. As long as I serve loyally, even a county prince or a marshal can give it to me?"
Guo Baoyu shook his head and said nothing.
When he took refuge in Mongolia, he saw that the Jurchen regime was rotten to the core, and the Han and Khitan tribes were accustomed to being slaves and had no hope of cheering up. He and many of his companions took refuge in Mongolia because they wanted to rely on Mongolia to
With their powerful force, the world was restored, and by virtue of their merits, they became the ruling group second only to the Mongolian nobles.
He always felt that his idea was right. Because for hundreds of years, Youyan Han'er had done this when facing the rise of the Khitans and Jurchens. When he followed Tuo Lei, he saw the prosperous scenery in the south.
, seeing the weak look of the southern Han'er, he became more and more convinced that this was right.
But he now knows that at least in the Central Plains, or within the borders of the Zhou regime, the Han people generally do not think so, and they no longer give high-ranking officials to the Mongols like they did during the last Mongolian invasion.
The vast majority of people are satisfied with the wealth, status and dignity given by Da Zhou, and look forward to getting more.
Under this situation, what can we expect from the towed mine? Even if Guo Baoyu can gather the manpower, how can he use it with confidence?
Tuo Lei would ask this just because he was confused.
So Guo Baoyu said nothing more, and Tuo Lei didn't ask any questions. He just frowned and fell into deep thought. After a while, he said: "The time is too tight. In fact, if you give me a year or two, even half a year
, the situation will be much better. I value the heroes in Han'er very much, and it's okay to be polite and corporal."
Guo Baoyu didn't know how to answer the call for a while.
It was obvious that the several leaders had their own concerns, and the centurions below did not dare to disturb them. After discussion, several of Tuo Lei's cronies recalled some of the sentries scattered around the periphery. After a large number of Na Ke'er left, Tuo Lei recalled some of them.
There is a vacancy due to insufficient security around Lei.
These cronies had witnessed the humiliating capture of Tu Lei in Haicang Town, so naturally they would not be negligent in such a small place.
However, after the outer sentry cavalry shrinks, the Han army fighting against the Mongols will naturally get closer.
Liu Ran looked out from the horse and saw a dozen Mongolian messengers riding their horses like arrows, crossing a stream somewhere in the south. At this time, the big rivers around Kaifeng were either dry or frozen, and only a small amount of stream water from the springs was still there.
It's flowing. But the stream is freezing cold, and the areas where the flow slows down are thin and frozen. It will collapse if you step on it, which is very dangerous.
The Mongolian messengers obviously didn't care about this. They didn't even waste time walking up and down the stream to determine a suitable place for swimming. Instead, they directly jumped into the water with their horses, causing splashes of water.
Liu Ran said: "With so many messengers scattered, it shows that the Mongols have discovered their own problems. They may want to gather together to deal with our ubiquitous and endless harassment."
"Even if the Mongols are scattered, they are not easy to deal with. From last night to now, we have fought six fierce battles in a row. The number of troops on hand has been greatly reduced. More brothers have been killed in battle than Mongols have been killed."
Guo Alin had a bloody scar on his face. As he spoke, the scar continued to twist and bleed, which was very scary: "I think the Mongolian Centurion can barely fight a dozen, the Thousand Man... we are no match."
.The group in front of you are the real Mongolian elites, are you sure you want to fight with them?"
