Wen Du's voice lagged behind, and the generals of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan Dynasty on the scene looked at him one after another, although Wen Du fought a defeat in the Sunset Valley, but his military exploits were unmatched, so his words naturally had a lot of weight.

"General Wendu, now that our army is about to go on the march, how can you grow the morale of others to destroy your own prestige?" Lou Luo saw that he was robbed of the limelight by Wen Du, and couldn't help but sneer, and said in a weird way, "Could it be that you were scared by the Ming army?" ”

It is not a secret that Lou Luo and Wen are not compatible in the Timurid Empire, although Lou Luo and Wen are both nobles of the Timurid Empire, but Lou Luo was born in a big aristocratic family, and Wen Du came from a defeated local small aristocratic family, and there is a big gap between the identities of the two sides, and a big nobleman like Lou Luo looks down on a small nobleman like Wen Du at all.

For Lou Luo and Wen Du, the two are not only of the same age, but also good at marching and fighting, just like Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu during the Three Kingdoms, but Wen Du is more talented and has better luck than Lou Luo, and gradually became a famous general of the Timurid Empire by virtue of his military exploits.

Because he has been pressed by Wen Du, Lou Luo's heart is full of resentment towards him, when he learned that Wen Du was defeated by Li Yuntian in Sunset Valley, he was shocked at first, and then felt a good time, never expected Wen Du to capsize in the gutter and eat a defeat in Sunset Valley.

It was also the defeat of the Sunset Valley that made Wendu lose the right to command the army of the Timurid Empire who raided the Hetao, and Lou Luo wanted to use this opportunity to capture the Ming Jingshi, so that he could overpower Wendu in the limelight, after all, the Ming Dynasty was the most powerful empire in the world recognized by even Timur Khan, and there was no greater merit than the capture of the Ming Jingshi.

"Haha......" Hearing Lou Luo's mocking words to Wendu, several generals of the Timurid Empire immediately burst out laughing, it was obvious that they were the generals of Lou Luo's side.

At the same time, several other generals of the Timurid Empire glared angrily at the laughing generals, they were from Wendu's side, and they were naturally dissatisfied with their ridicule of Wendu.

This made the situation on the scene suddenly become a little tense, and the generals of the Northern Yuan on the opposite side also saw that the momentum was not right, and watched the show there silently, for them, the more the generals of the Timurid Empire made trouble, the more they benefited in the end.

"General Wendu has a point." Seeing that Wen Du and Lou Luo's people were confronted, Holdu frowned slightly and then said to Lou Luo quietly, "King Zhongwu of the Ming Dynasty is scheming, you must be careful. ”

Although Holdu secretly provoked the fight between Wendu and Lou Luo, he didn't want to expose the disagreement between the two in front of the people of the Northern Yuan, so that the people of the Northern Yuan would see the joke.

"Great Khan, the minister thinks that General Wen should be careful, the Zhongwu King of the Ming Dynasty is in Qinglong City, and the Guanxi Army and the Ming Army in the city add up to more than 200,000, once the Zhongwu King launches an attack, I don't know if General Wen can stop it?" Lou Luo bowed to Holdu, then glanced at Wendu, and said gloomily.

The Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan gathered a total of 800,000 troops this time, namely 500,000 troops of the Timurid Empire, 200,000 troops of the Northern Yuan, and 100,000 horses of the Great Horde.

Since the Great Horde was a reinforcement brought by the Northern Yuan, they were stationed with the Northern Yuan, and their purpose in this invasion of the Ming Dynasty was very clear, that is, to plunder the spoils of war, so they did not participate in this raid on the Hetao region.

For the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan, their primary target in the Kansai was the Qinglong City, which could be described as a nail embedded in the heart of the Kansai, which made the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan feel very awkward but helpless, in response to the old saying that others are not allowed to sleep on the side of the couch.

The Ming army in Qinglong City is the elite of the Ming Dynasty in the Guanxi region, and it is also the main force of the Ming Dynasty.

To tell the truth, neither the Timurid Empire nor the Northern Yuan Dynasty had thought in advance that Li Yuntian would have such great courage to really put the Guanxi Army into Qinglong City, and if the Guanxi Army was different, Qinglong City would be self-defeating.

However, as a result, the strength of Qinglong City doubled, so that the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan had to leave heavy troops to besiege the city, so as not to prevent Li Yuntian from leading the army out of the city to counterattack, this kind of thing Li Yuntian can definitely do.

Therefore, the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan Dynasty had a total of 300,000 people besieging Qinglong City, and the troops who went to Jiayuguan had 150,000, and the remaining 150,000 people were stationed in the ancient city of Dunhuang.

Although Wendu was defeated by Li Yuntian in Sunset Valley, he was still trusted by Hordu, so he commanded the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan army to besiege Qinglong City, because once Louluo raided the Hetao area, the Timurid Empire could no longer find a suitable general to lead the army.

"General Lou Luo, your words will definitely be taken to heart, the loyal warrior king of the Ming Dynasty is the strongest opponent that Ben will encounter, and Ben will definitely not take it lightly."

Wen Du saw that Lou Luo was pointing the finger at him, so he looked at Lou Luo coldly and said, "The general is a little worried about General Lou Luo, the Ming Dynasty's art of war has said, knowing oneself and knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles, I don't know how much General Lou Luo knows about the Mongolian political envoys of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"The Mongolian political envoy of the Ming Dynasty has only been established for six or seven years, and it is a yamen specially established by the Ming Dynasty in order to settle the surrendered Dayuan tribe." Wendu's question naturally couldn't help Lou Luo, and he looked at Wendu with an expressionless face, "If the general is not mistaken, now the forces of the Mongolian capital division have been exhausted, and there is no Ming army in the Hetao area that can stop the progress of our army." ”

"Besides, the people of the Mongolian political envoy used to be all the subordinates of the Great Yuan, and with the assistance of the Great Yuan, the general believed that it would be as easy as searching for the Hetao." As he spoke, Lou Luo stretched out his right palm and slowly clenched it, looking confident.

After all, the establishment of the Mongolian political envoy is still short, so the local Mongols will definitely have a nostalgia for Dayuan, which can be used by him.

"General Lou Luo, do you know what the relationship between the three princes of the Mongolian political envoy division and the Ming Zhongwu King is? Do you know how much money the Ming Dynasty's martial arts hall will allocate to the Mongolian political envoys every year? Seeing Lou Luo's triumphant look, Wen couldn't help but sneer and asked with a cold expression.

"Isn't it just the three dog minions who took refuge in King Zhongwu." Lou Luo was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then looked at Wen Du expressionlessly, "Da Ming will allocate money to the Mongolian political envoy?" ”

In Lou Luo's view, the people of the Mongolian political envoy are the conquered, and the Ming Dynasty will definitely collect heavy taxes from the Mongolian political envoy every year, how can it be reasonable to give money?

The Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan generals present also looked at Wendu curiously, and they also felt that Wendu's words were a little inexplicable, who would allocate money to those conquered tribes, this is simply crazy.

"The three princes of the Mongolian political envoy can be said to have been single-handedly supported by the Zhongwu King of the Ming Dynasty, as long as the Zhongwu King is in them, they will be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, don't forget that one of the concubines of the Zhongwu King is the county lord of the Mongolian political envoy!"

Wen Du sneered when he heard this, Lou Luo didn't even know the situation of the Mongolian political envoy to lead the army to attack, it was too arrogant, he glared at Lou Luo coldly, then turned to Hordu, and said solemnly:

"Great Khan, as far as the ministers know, the Ming Dynasty's lecture and martial arts are worth at least two million taels of silver every year under the Mongolian political envoys, so that the people of the Mongolian political envoys have lived comfortably and harmoniously over the years, and have gradually identified with the identity of the Ming people.

"What? Two million taels! Hordu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and his face showed a look of disbelief, which was almost equivalent to seventy percent of the tax revenue of the Timurid Empire.

With a bang, there was a commotion at the scene, and the Timurid Empire and Northern Yuan generals present were stunned by the news, and they talked with each other, no one thought that the martial arts hall of the Ming Dynasty was so rich.

The corners of Gu Chen's mouth showed a hint of imperceptible smile, the reason why Wen Du knew the information of the Mongolian political envoy was because he told Wen Du that the relationship between Da Yuan and the Timurid Empire was very delicate, and he needed to find an alliance in the Timurid Empire to mediate the relationship between the two sides.

After all, for Gu Chen, it is best for the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan to maintain an alliance all the time, otherwise once the two sides start a war because of the post-war interests of the Ming Dynasty, they will only end up with a lose-lose ending, and he is not willing to do this kind of thing of killing 10,000 enemies and losing 8,000 by himself, at that time, he needs troops to rule the conquered Ming territory.

Therefore, Gu Chen shared information about Daming with Wendu, which made Wendu know more about Daming and Li Yuntian, and he believed that Li Yuntian's strategy would never expose such a big gap in the Hetao region to the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan, but it was not clear that Li Yuntian would do so.

Similarly, Wendu did not want to start a war with the Northern Yuan because of the interests of the Ming Dynasty, and the Timurid Empire needed to recuperate after a series of wars, and its main task was to maintain its rule in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

"Where did you hear this rumor, the emperor and courtiers of the Ming Dynasty are crazy, and they actually invested a lot of money in the Mongolian political envoys!" Lou Luo came back to his senses after experiencing the initial shock, looked at Wen Du with a sneer, and said, thinking that Wen Du was talking nonsense.

"The sources of General Ben are absolutely reliable." At this time, Wen Du sneered when he heard this, and said in an orderly manner, "There is one thing that Ni may not know, the Zhongwu King of the Ming Dynasty is responsible for the overseas trade of the Ming Dynasty, and every trip to the sea can bring tens of millions of silver profits to the Ming Dynasty, a large part of which belongs to the Jiangwutang, maybe the emperor of the Ming Dynasty will also secretly allocate the money to the Jiangwutang, and then through the Jiangwutang, and then to the Mongolian political envoys." ”

Wendu intelligence was naturally provided by Gu Chen, in order to make the Mongolian political envoy get on the right track as soon as possible, the lecture hall has to provide two million taels of money and materials every year, which is not a secret in the Mongolian political envoy.

Among them, one million taels of property came from the emperor's inner treasury, and was allocated to the Mongolian political envoy through the lecture hall, which was the result of Li Yuntian's discussion with Emperor Xuande, after all, Emperor Xuande was the son of heaven of the Ming Dynasty, how could he let the lecture hall spend the funds of the Mongolian political envoy, if Li Yuntian managed the Mongolian political envoy properly, then the crisis in the north of the Ming Dynasty would be cleared, which would be of great benefit to the Ming Dynasty.

After the orthodox emperor ascended the throne, he continued the national policy strategy of Emperor Xuande, and the inner treasury of the imperial city allocated money and goods to the account of the lecture hall on time, and then the lecture hall distributed it to the various yamen of the Mongolian political envoys.

"Ten million taels of silver!" Everyone at the scene suddenly exclaimed, no one would have thought that Daming's overseas trade would be so profitable.
