At the end of the third year of Xianchun in the Great Song Dynasty, at the beginning of the fourth year of Xianchun, a general battle to determine the ownership of the northern Han land finally kicked off!

The prelude to the general battle, at least in this era, was opened by a long outpost war. At the end of December, after a heavy snowfall, the Northland was covered in snow and enchanting. Countless Mongolian light cavalry squads appeared around the Daimyo's mansion. and the southbound Eight Banners Horse Team launched repeated entanglements, temptations, hedging, and fighting. Do everything in your power to control the battlefield and cover the opponent's scouting curtain. Cover your main force to the north and unfold.

And this short and deadly battle of light cavalry will determine where the home of the two armies will be after the battle begins. For the Mongols, the area around the Daimyo's Mansion and the Zhangde Road near the Daimyo's Mansion were battlefields that had to be shielded and controlled. In a word, it is necessary to completely turn the Daimyo's Mansion into an isolated city, so that the Northern Ming side has no way of knowing the number and movement of the Mongolian army, nor does it know the situation of the Daimyo's Mansion.

Only in this way will Chen Dexing mobilize as many main forces as possible to go south and create more possibilities for Li Pu's sneak attack!

Because the unknown risk is always the biggest risk! As long as Chen Dexing couldn't figure out the number of Kublai Khan's army, he could only plan for the worst.

And after Chen Dexing's army moved south, Kublai Khan would of course not immediately fight a decisive battle with it, but would adopt the method of retreating and confronting. Either lead Chen Dexing across the Yellow River, or confront him across the river – but there is not much difference between the two. Because the climate in the 13th century was much colder than in later generations, there was a long ice period in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River every winter. On the frozen river, you can definitely run horses and cars.

And such confrontations can often last for months. During this period, there will naturally be a series of battles of wits and endless skirmishes, and it will eventually be a celebrity history. A general battle that will decide the rise and fall of a nation and a country!

In Kublai Khan's plan, the Central Plains battle between the Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties. Nor will it run away from this number.

The sound of horses' hooves rumbled like thunder. Hundreds of cowardly Xue Tie cavalry, surrounded by the Mongol Great Khan, the Great Yuan Emperor Kublai Khan and his heavy generals and ministers, walked on the snow-covered land of the Central Plains.

Behind them, countless white flags were waving in the wind, followed by an endless army of foot cavalry and baggage caravans. The main force of the Mongol army has crossed the Yellow River and is marching north.

Kublai Khan's lineup to the north is exactly the same as the information provided to Liu Yang by Liu Xiaoyuan. Thirteen Mongol troops. Three 10,000 teams of color eyes and two 10,000 teams of the Han army. There were 180,000 troops, and there were 80,000 Han people who were forcibly recruited. The military has been cobbled together to support it for months. In addition, in Jingzhao Mansion and Lingzhou Road, a large number of military rations were also prepared for emergencies. And the price of looting these military rations is naturally to empty the savings of Henan and Shaanxi.

Every Mongolian soldier. The faces were full of belief, and the morale was high in the sound of golden drums. They now have a pickle, a camel hammer, a mace, a mace. An army of 500,000 (240,000 soldiers and baggage troops, known as 500,000) was also assembled. Where in the whole world is there an army that can fight with it? Even Chen Dexing, who has defeated Mongolia since his rise. It's just taking advantage of the H medicine copper. At present, the Great Mongolian Army has been equipped with as many as four or five thousand iron and bronze guns. There are also maces and maces that break steel armor...... Now, it's time to let the hateful Reverse Ming taste the power of the Great Mongolia!

Right now. It's time to restore the former glory of the Great Mongolian Nation!

In front of the team, countless horsemen rushed back and forth, constantly reporting the military situation in front.

"Great Khan, the surroundings of the Daimyo's Mansion City have been cleared, except for the Daimyo's Mansion City and the eight nearby branches, the rest of the territory is already under the control of my Great Mongolian Iron Cavalry!"

"The Great King, the Eight Banners of the Anti-Ming Horse Team has been forced out of the territory of the Daimyo Mansion by my Great Mongolian warriors, and has retreated north to the Hejian Mansion!"

Hearing the return, Kublai Khan just smiled: "Chen Dexing's main force seems to be still in Yanjing, and this time the opportunity has been grasped by us!" ”

An Tong beside him recklessly interjected: "Great Khan, let's just go and conquer the famous city." There are tens of thousands of thieves and hundreds of thousands of people in the Daimyo City, and the savings are very rich, so let the warriors wash for a few days, and their morale will be greatly boosted! ”

Kublai Khan glanced at him faintly and said with a smile: "Attack the enemy's fortified city? It's a shame that you can figure it out! The city of the Daimyo Mansion was originally the Beijing city of the Song Kingdom, the city was high and the pool was deep, and Chen Dexing used it as a large stronghold for the south. Can the city be fortified? If my army can't be attacked for a long time, the veterans of the division are tired, and Chen Dexing comes south, what will I do to fight? ”

Kublai Khan's expression was relaxed, but he gently rejected An Tong's request for war, which made the people below a little frustrated. Chen Dexing's army has not moved, and the defenders of the famous city should not be too many, if they can be defeated, it will be a good fortune - since the end of the great battle last year, the Mongols under Kublai Khan have not been plundered for a whole year. Moreover, the plan to ask for New Year's coins from the Southern Song Dynasty was completely failed because of the late contract turmoil, and these Mongols under Kublai Khan have been very tight recently.

Looking at the expressions of the people around him, Kublai Khan smiled and said: "Now that the Han is in the world, the Song Kingdom has long been a dry bone in the grave, and Li Pu is not worried, only this Chen Dexing is strong and strong, with plenty of food and wealth, and he is a big trouble for my great Mongolian henchmen." As long as it can be destroyed, the Han family world will be in my big Mongolian bag. At that time, we will wash the cities of the Tang and Ming families, and then ask the Han'er there to be the shepherd slaves of the warriors, and then ask the Southern Dynasty for the New Year's coin. At least 10 million a year! Do you think it's good? ”

Kublai Khan's words were another big pie, and his generals, even if they were given face, replied loudly: "Great! Great Khan, do it! We all listen to you, we must sacrifice our lives in this battle, and we will take the life of the thief Chen no matter what! Trample this northern Han land under the iron hooves of Great Mongolia again! ”

Kublai Khan smiled silently.

In his heart, he actually has two abacus...... Of course, it is best to defeat Chen Dexing, this China will be unified by him Kublai Khan sooner or later! If it doesn't work, don't hang yourself on a tree, the Great Mongolian Iron Horse is equipped with a lifting gun and a camel gun, where in the world can you go?

At this time, it is really the most irrational thing to easily consume the strength of your subordinates.

Let's see how Li Pu and Chen Dexing play their cards! He has a few months of military reserves, and he also left a back hand in Jingzhao Mansion, Lingzhou Road and Beishi Bali......

While he was silently thinking, he saw a group of cavalry galloping over. But they came from the west. Everyone is in the dust, and it seems that they have been rushing over all the time. The cowardly guards in front of him stopped and asked a few words, and then let the leader ride over.

The person who came was the envoy sent by Kublai Khan to Taiyuan to contact Li Pu, he had already turned over and dismounted in the distance, and rushed forward a few steps to salute: "Back to the Great Khan, Li Pu, the lord of the Tang Dynasty, sent troops three days ago, leaving only the crown prince Li Yanjian to guard the city, with Shi Tianze's department as the vanguard, and commanding 200,000 soldiers to go north!" ”

Everyone was overjoyed, and Li Pu went north to naturally attack Yanjing! An army of 200,000 is, of course, a claim, just as the Mongols claimed 500,000 soldiers...... However, even the soldiers and the people are heavy, and there are always 1230,000 people. Now as long as Chen Dexing's army is attracted to the Daimyo's mansion, a big victory can be expected!

Kublai Khan, however, looked to the east and muttered to himself for a long time: "Li Pu has moved...... Li Yanguo's army should also arrive in Jinan, right? ”

"Great Khan."

Liu Xiaoyuan rode a horse beside Kublai Khan, and when he heard him muttering, he stepped forward and interjected: "Li Yanguo and Li Pu may not be of the same mind, he is not Li Pu's crown prince, and he has a heavy army, and he has a green land, and it is not surprising that he has different ambitions, and he needs to be careful." ”

Kublai Khan nodded, waved his hand and ordered: "Adjust one more thousand-person team and keep an eye on the direction of Jinan!" Without my order, no one is allowed to cross the border into the puppet Tang territory! Just watch how they act! If there is an accident, report it in time! ”

……

At this time, Li Cuixian was lazily sitting on the brocade couch, carefully looking at her former boudoir. This is a mansion in Yidu City, which belongs to Li Cuixian. Among Li Pu's daughters, she is also quite unusual, she has her own mansion before she leaves the cabinet, as well as hundreds of personal soldiers, as well as her own staff, and she is completely cultivated as Li Gongzi - the reason why there is such an arrangement is because Li Pu originally wanted to marry her to Tachar's concubine Huo Tu. Li Cuixian will marry his subordinates and staff together, and then try to take over the operation of Huotu's thousand households. Find another opportunity to assassinate Tachar's heir, Boyan, so that Gong Huotu can ascend to the throne......

The plan is good, but unfortunately the changes are even greater! Li Cuixian will soon be the mother of the world!

She had no doubts about that. Even if the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties joined forces, they couldn't stop Chen Dexing from winning the world, because ...... These three families join forces, and they are basically ghosts!

If they are genuinely united, then they should join forces. At least Tang Yuan's combined army...... There are always 300,000 and 400,000 soldiers, all the way to Yanjing, just outside Yanjing City and the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Northern Ming Dynasty!

In this way, the chances of winning may be even bigger.

Now, dividing the troops into several routes, luring the enemy and sneaking attack, is an extremely complicated plan...... In fact, he was timid and did not dare to fight a decisive battle! Counting on opportunistic methods to win. But from ancient times to the present, there is no trick to win the world from the battlefield. Even if it is more than 70 defeats of Emperor Han Gao, it is also a real knife and a real gun, and more than 70 defeats are not extinguished, and they can still be defeated and fought repeatedly, which has already shown Liu Bang's perseverance.

And now the Tang, Song and Yuan Kingdoms don't even have the courage to lose! No, it's not that I'm afraid of losing, but that my own little abacus is playing too well. Everyone wants to deplete their allies and strengthen themselves...... Even Kublai Khan only had the idea of luring the enemy, and he did not have the determination to fight with Chen Dexing! (To be continued......)
