"Master, please look!"

Someone held a red gold lion in both hands and handed it to Arutai.

This thing is heavy, weighing more than a dozen pounds.

Arutai took it in his hand and was taken aback.

This is the style that only exists on the Persian side of the Persian diet. There are no lions in the Central Plains, so most of the lions in the Central Plains sculptures are based on imagination, although they are also grinning and very majestic, but if you look closely, you will find that the lions in the Central Plains painting style have relatively soft faces. And the things carved out of the Persian Great Food are fierce and closer to reality.

From the modeling, to the materials, to the carving techniques, there is no doubt that this is from outside the Central Plains. Such a big red gold lion is definitely the best of the best, and ordinary people can't get it at all.

Thinking of the so-called Genghis Khan treasure, is it true?

Arutai was afraid of being deceived, so he was cautious and unwilling to fight the Ming army, but all kinds of signs, could it be that this was true?

"How many more have you found?"

The subordinates hurriedly said: "If you go back to the Taishi, the small ones attacked several teams transporting merchant goods, and obtained countless gold and silver utensils, as well as gems and jewelry. ”

"Bring them all!"

Arutai faced several boxes of treasures, his eyes were confused, what a beautiful jewel, red like fire, green like water, the smallest of which was about the same as a pigeon's egg.

It is really a treasure of Genghis Khan, and only Genghis Khan can have so many good things!

No matter how cunning the fox is, there are times when he loses his temper, and Liu Chun tries his best to dig a pit, step by step, and finally lures the old thing into the bait.

Genghis Khan's mausoleum and treasures!

If it is true, if the mausoleum is found, there will be the capital to command the entire Mongolian tribes to unify the steppe.

If you get the treasure, you can arm hundreds of thousands of iron horses, even if you are a strong Ming, you have the power to fight, and you don't have to hide around like a mouse.

Great, this opportunity is great!

Arutai kept waving his fists and pacing excitedly in the big tent.

Risks are always relative, and as long as the gains are great, it is not impossible to take risks.

Although the temptation of 30,000 people failed, the result was satisfactory to Arutai.

However, the fox is a fox in the end, and even if he makes up his mind, Arutai is not ready to rush ahead on his own.

"Tell the ministers that the Ming people robbed the treasures of Genghis Khan's mausoleum and desecrated the immortal heavens, and the crime is unforgivable. All the Mongol tribes, men over the age of fifteen and under the age of fifty, all went out with the army to take revenge on the Ming people! Take back the mausoleum and reclaim the treasure! ”

……

"Qi Yu Fu Guogong, there is a secret report."

Liu Chun took it and unfolded it to take a look, first surprised, then happy, and when he finished reading it all, he couldn't help but be worried.

According to the secret report, Arutai is gathering a large army, and according to calculations, there are as many as thirty-six of 10,000 households alone!

At this moment, Liu Chun couldn't help jumping in shock.

After several blows by Zhu Yuanzhang, the number of people in Mongolia has been greatly reduced, and after losing the pastures of Monan, the situation is even more difficult.

The entire Mongolian steppe, the Tatar tribes, will not exceed 400,000 households, 36, which is almost equivalent to the dispatch of the entire army.

According to Liu Chun's estimates, in addition to these official ten thousand households, there will be many auxiliaries, almost two or three slaves, serving one soldier.

It is unlikely that 360,000 households will be fully staffed, but even if it is discounted and the auxiliary troops are added, the strength will approach 500,000!

"What an old fox, Arutai, you're ruthless!"

Liu Chun is not clear about how many soldiers and horses Arutai has, after all, this is the core secret of the family.

However, in history, before Zhu Di's first expedition to Mongolia, he sent Qiu Fu to lead an army of 100,000 to the north, but the whole army was wiped out and Qiu Fu also lost his life, which forced Zhu Di to lead the northern expedition by himself.

In this way, the core strength of Arutai is at least about 50,000, and the young and strong of the entire tribe should be 200,000, and the estimate of 300,000 given by Liu Chun is to include some small tribes and slaves that are dependent, but this time Arutai's troops are obviously much larger than this scale.

The old fox wants to use other people as cannon fodder!

Liu Chun made a judgment in an instant.

There is no doubt that this is a life-and-death battle between the Ming and the Tatars, and it is no longer enough to rely on the soldiers and horses of Beiping.

"Eight hundred miles urgently, send news to Your Majesty immediately, please Your Majesty send troops north as soon as possible!"

Yingtian, the Imperial Palace.

"Emperor! Emperor! Auxiliary State Public Express! ”

Zhu Di snatched it with his hand, and after unfolding it, he was also shocked at first, and then overjoyed!

"Yes, great! Flattening the Tatars, in one fell swoop! ”

"Message!" Zhu Di immediately called several important ministers, including the crown prince Zhu Gaochi.

"I immediately commanded 150,000 Beijing camps to go north, Ying Tian, leaving the prince in charge of the country, Shangshuru of the Ministry of Officials, Zhang Yu, the Duke of Rongguo, and Yang Shiqi, the three of you are auxiliary to the government!"

Ru is in charge of the Ministry of Officials, he is the head of the hundred officials, he is reasonable, and Yang Shiqi is just a member of the Wupin Pavilion, but he is also in the list of auxiliary ministers, I can't help but sigh, sure enough, the cabinet is the king!

These two people immediately received the order to thank them, but Zhang Yu, the Duke of Rongguo, hesitated, "Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to follow His Majesty to the north, and the minister can still go into battle to kill the enemy!" ”

Zhu Di smiled and waved his hand and said: "Zhang Yu, it's not that I don't trust you, but I stay in Yingtian, and the task is heavier." You have always been cautious and virtuous, and only if you stay in the capital, I can rest assured. ”

The Son of Heaven said so, what else could Zhang Yu say, he could only bow down and say: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the old minister will definitely assist the prince and take Ying Tian well!" ”

Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction, how many times he had deduced for the matter of moving the capital, and he had already had a plan, so Zhu Di quickly set off for the north.

He led the forbidden army to advance, followed by Yang Rong, Huang Huai and Jin Youzi, and left Yang Shiqi, Yang Pu and Hu Guang, who assisted the prince in handling government affairs.

Obviously, Zhu Di cut the entire imperial court in half, and the army set off in a mighty way and marched directly to Beiping.

At the same time as Zhu Di set off, someone had already passed on the news, and there was more than one way, these messages were summarized and sent to the grassland at the fastest speed.

In the army, Zhu Di's face was as pale as water.

He held a secret letter from Yoo Chun in his hand.

"Since I ascended the throne, I have strictly changed the law, rectified hundreds of officials, and vigorously promoted learning...... But I have also offended too many people, from top to bottom, I am wishing that I would fall and fall into a blue nose and swollen face. ”

Zhu Di muttered to himself, Liu Chun had already reminded him that Beiping was a sieve, and the news about the military operation could not be concealed at all.

Many of the Mongols who surrendered were in collusion with the Tatars.

Later, Haoqiang, who was sent to Beiping, even the old department of King Ning, and many merchants who made a living by smuggling, even some Hu merchants in Beiping were unreliable.

These guys are hiding in the shadows, constantly ventilating and reporting information, and Liu Chun can't find them out completely. He can only keep acting, creating false news, muddying the waters, and luring Arutai to take the bait.

The first step was a success.

But how to eat so many Tatars has become a problem.

Liu Chun reminded Zhu Di that this time he used troops to pay attention to a surprise victory. As for how to be surprising, Liu Chun didn't think about it.

"It's going to give me a problem!"

Zhu Di couldn't help laughing and scolding, he paused, went out of the imperial tent directly, drove away the eunuch guards, turned around in the barracks for most of the time, and came to the front of a tent. ”

A moment later, Lan Yu opened the tent, and Zhu Di stepped inside.

The monarchs and ministers sat opposite each other, and Zhu Di smiled, "Liang Guogong, do you still remember the first battle in Liaodong back then?" ”

Lan Yu said with a smile: "Why don't you remember, back then, Your Majesty raised troops to attack Naha out of the lair, forcing his entire army to surrender, a full 500,000 people, and breaking the arms of the Northern Yuan in one fell swoop." ”

Zhu Di said with a smile: "Liang Guogong is too modest, the battle of Liaodong is far inferior to the battle of Yuerhai. Liang Guogong became famous in a fight, which is enough to compete with Wei Qinghuo's illness! ”

This pair of monarchs and ministers started the business mutual blowing mode, chatting more and more happily, and finally Zhu Di actually took out a jar of wine as if he was doing a trick.

"Liang Guogong, when it comes to leading troops to fight, you are my predecessor Zhu Di, this Northern Expedition is easy to win and difficult to win, you always give me an idea."

Lan Yu chuckled, "Your Majesty, it is not difficult to win, the difficult thing is to hit the Tatars hard, if you can't destroy the main force of the Tatars, the so-called victory is just an armed parade, self-deception!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhu Di agreed.

"I can't talk about it, this time we must win by surprise, I mean send a force of men and horses from Shaanxi to attack the rear of the Tatars. When Arutai was focused on Beiping, kick him hard in the ass so that he could succeed in the battle! ”

Zhu Di picked up his wine glass and laughed, "What the hero sees is slightly the same, and the hero sees the same!" He sent the wine glass to Lan Yu, the monarch touched it, Zhu Di lowered his voice, and said meaningfully: "Liang Guogong, Lian Po is old, can you still eat?" ”

Lan Yu was stunned for a moment, unable to believe it, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty really let the ministers lead the troops?" ”

It's no wonder that Lan Yu was surprised, it was really unexpected.

Lan Yu is not a noble, and in his early years, he had a disagreement with Zhu Di, and Lan Yu's reputation is too high and his credit is too great.

After entering the Yongle Dynasty, it was basically offered.

I never dreamed that there would be a chance to lead the troops.

And it's clear that this is another super-war.

Zhu Di left Zhang Yu to guard Yingtian, in fact, it is okay to keep Lan Yu, after all, because of Liu Chun's relationship, Lan Yu did not dare not do his best.

Abandoning his henchmen, but using blue jade, this Yongle Emperor is a bit extraordinary!

"Zhang Yu only led the troops on the front line in Beiping, Liang Guogong went to the northwest to operate, and later I was able to recover Shazhou, which was also related to Liang Guogong's business. Now in the northwest, there are 50,000 elites of Ping An and Sheng Yong, Liang Guogong, let these two people be your assistants, maybe you will break the Tatars? ”

Lan Yu smiled, only to see him get up, grab a three-stone bow, use both arms forcefully, pull it into a full moon, and then continue to exert force, only to hear the click, the bow broke on the spot.

Lan Yu clapped his hands and smiled indifferently, "It's as easy as a snap!" ”
