In the evening, the city of Turpan.

The commander of the Northern Yuan army, Taishi Tuhuan, paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back and frowned, looking preoccupied.

Since receiving the news that Li Yuntian led the army to the rescue of Beishi Bali City, Tuhuan was restless and couldn't sleep, he never imagined that Li Yuntian would appear in Miscellaneous Bali City, and he couldn't understand Li Yuntian's intention to do so.

Because Li Yuntian turned the tide on the battlefield in Liaodong that year, not only defeated the Northern Yuan army, which had an absolute advantage, but also incorporated the Wuliang Ha tribe and other Mongolian tribes for his own use, so Tuhuan was very jealous of Li Yuntian.

To Tuhuan's surprise, Li Yuntian and the others traveled all the way, and none of the Northern Yuan generals and generals in those cities along the way dared to attack this huge marching team, and they closed the city gates and took a defensive position.

From this point of view, Li Yuntian had already scared those generals in Liaodong and Beizhili, which made no one dare to provoke Li Yuntian easily.

Now, Li Yuntian and his party are about to pass through Turpan City, and Tuhuan must make a choice, whether to mobilize the 100,000 troops of Turpan City to fight Li Yuntian to the death.

It is foreseeable that after this war, the Northern Yuan will definitely be greatly damaged, according to the information that Tuhuan has, Li Yuntian has 10,000 cavalry of the Guanxi battalion of the Xiaowu Army, 20,000 soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army, and 30,000 soldiers of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, with a total strength of 60,000.

In Tuhuan's view, it was not a fluke that the 20,000 soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army and the 30,000 soldiers of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate could survive the previous war, and only the strong could survive in a difficult environment.

Therefore, these veterans who have experienced life and death are now high in morale under the leadership of Li Yuntian, although the Northern Yuan army has an advantage in strength, but if it really fights them, there is no advantage at all, even if it wins, it is a miserable victory.

What is particularly important is that although there were 100,000 troops stationed in the city of Turpan, only 60,000 were under the command of Tuhuan, and the remaining 40,000 were soldiers of the Great Horde under the command of the generals of the Great Horde.

Although the Northern Yuan and the Great Horde have formed an alliance, both sides know that it is just a need for interests, the foundation of the Great Horde is in the north, this time in addition to fulfilling the duties of allies, but just to take the opportunity to salvage a sum, will definitely not go to fight with the Ming army, once the war is stalemate, it will definitely slip away.

After all, the Great Horde still had its enemies in the north, and it was impossible to lose its forces in the Western Regions.

As a result, if Tuhuan wanted to have a decisive battle with Li Yuntian, there were only 60,000 people who could get his hands on it, and he really didn't have the confidence to defeat Li Yuntian when the forces of the two sides were equal.

Originally, Tuhuan wanted to mobilize some people from the army guarding the Kansai Qinglong Camp and the Kansai Seven Guards in the front, but the Ming army of the Kansai Qinglong Camp suddenly advanced to the border line and put on an offensive posture.

This made Tuhuan dare not act rashly, no matter how to explain that the army still has 90,000 people in Kansai, plus the indecisive Kansai Qiwei, he has to leave enough troops in front to deal with it.

In fact, if Li Yuntian and his party were attacked by the Northern Yuan army in the cities along the way on the way here, then by the time he came to Turpan City, his troops had been reduced by at least half, and the people who accompanied him had suffered heavy casualties, but now Li Yuntian and the others were unharmed, which made things very tricky.

"Abba, the generals of Xichagatai sent someone to send an urgent report, they should only be more than a hundred miles away from Turpan City now, and tomorrow they will be able to catch up with the fleeing Daming Zhongwu King and others, I hope Abba will send troops to fight them back and forth."

At this time, a big man walked in quickly with an official document in his hand, and said to Tuhuan excitedly.

This Han is the son of Tuohuan and Xian, although he is still unknown, but in history, more than ten years later, this person did a major event that went down in history, and also made the Ming Dynasty ashamed of this, it was he who led the army to wipe out hundreds of thousands of troops in Tumubao and captured the orthodox emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

"Oh?" Hearing this, Tuohuan's face suddenly turned happy, and he hurriedly stepped forward to take the official document and carefully checked it, the people of the Timurid Empire came at a very good time, and the army of the Timurid Empire, which intended to annex the Ming Dynasty, would not preserve its strength like the Great Horde, and definitely wanted to annihilate Li Yuntian and the others in one fell swoop.

Obviously, if the Ming Dynasty's Zhongwu King can be defeated, it will be a major blow to the Ming Dynasty, and it will undoubtedly be conducive to the invasion of the Timurid Empire, and the Timurid Empire will definitely not let go of this golden opportunity, otherwise it will definitely not send cavalry to pursue all the way.

"We got this news, so the Zhongwu King of the Ming Dynasty must also know about the arrival of the pursuers, what choice will he make?" After reading the content of the official document, Tuhuan's somewhat excited mood gradually cooled down, his brows furrowed slightly, and then he looked at Ye Xian, he didn't think that Li Yuntian would be restrained.

"No matter what choice he makes, he will definitely die this time, 30,000 Xichagatai Iron Cavalry is enough to cause him heavy losses, and then we can give him a fatal blow." He also sneered first, and replied disappreciatively, in his opinion, Li Yuntian was in a catastrophe this time, and even if the cavalry of the 30,000 Timurid Empire could not defeat Li Yuntian, Li Yuntian would be severely damaged.

"Humph!" Hearing this, Tuhuan couldn't help but snort coldly, glared at him and then said dissatisfiedly, "If the Zhongwu King of the Ming Dynasty was really so easy to deal with, Arutai would not have been defeated so badly that he even lost his life, if you could turn defeat into victory in Liaodong?" ”

He did not participate in the war in Liaodong back then, but had been following Yexian's side, if it weren't for Arutai's rejection and first envoy to stay in Datong City, then after the Ming army unexpectedly captured Juyong Pass and Reverse Horse Pass, he would also become a prisoner of the Ming army like Arutai.

Although he was a little young and vigorous at first, he was not so arrogant, even Arutai and Yexian were defeated in the hands of Li Yuntian back then, where is he qualified to compare with Li Yuntian.

"The Zhongwu King of the Ming Dynasty is not as simple as you think, can you imagine that he will lead his army to rescue Beshi Bali City, and bring the team here unscathed all the way?"

Seeing this, he also stopped talking, so he walked to the window and looked at the rockery and pond in the courtyard and said with a serious expression, "Although Abba has not directly fought with the Zhongwu King of the Ming Dynasty, he knows that he is a calm person and will never do anything reckless, and it turns out that he is indeed powerful, and those generals in the city along the way from Beshi Bali City to here do not dare to start a war against him, do you think he will have no way to deal with those cavalry of Xichagatai?" ”

"Abba, what else can he do now? The Ming army in Kansai is still hundreds of miles away from here, so you can't fly over the troops in front of us, right? He was also very jealous of Li Yuntian, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

He really couldn't think of any other way for Li Yuntian to solve the current crisis, even if Li Yuntian could lead the army to defeat those cavalry of the Timurid Empire, he must have been unable to resist the attack of the Northern Yuan army, and no matter what, he would definitely be defeated.

"If you can guess his thoughts, then he won't be able to become the loyal king of the Ming Dynasty!" Tuohuan frowned when he heard this, to be honest, he didn't know what choice Li Yuntian would make in the face of the cavalry of the 30,000 Timurid Empire.

"Imperial Master, urgent military situation." At this moment, a Northern Yuan general walked in quickly, bowed to Tuhuan and said, "According to the Tanmalai report, a cavalry team of more than 10,000 people broke away from the Ming army's marching brigade and marched to the west in the morning. ”

"What?" Tuohuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and turned his head in surprise to look at the general who came to report, "The cavalry of the Ming army's Guanxi battalion actually left the brigade?" ”

"The style of the military uniform of the Ming Army's Guanxi battalion is strange, and Tanma will never be mistaken." The general nodded with a serious expression, the clothes of the Xiaowu Army were all distinctive, and they could be recognized at a glance.

"Abba, is this a suspicious plan of King Zhongwu, who wants to use the 10,000 cavalry of the Kansai battalion to lure away the pursuers of the West Chagatai?" was also surprised by the news, and couldn't help but ask.

Originally, he thought that Li Yuntian wanted to lead the 10,000 cavalry of the Guanxi battalion to escape, but in view of Li Yuntian's behavior could not be considered by ordinary people's thinking, he first thought that Li Yuntian wanted to throw out the 10,000 cavalry of the Guanxi battalion to divert the pursuers of the Timurid Empire, and then give him time to return to Guanxi.

"Stupid!" Hearing this, Tuohuan's face suddenly sank, and he opened his mouth to reprimand, "If the loyal warrior king of the Ming Dynasty was greedy for life and afraid of death, he would not have come here, and besides, the cavalry of the 10,000 Guanxi battalion was the most elite force in his hands, how could he abandon them?" Don't forget that he not only has to deal with those pursuers in the West Chagatai, but also has to face our interception! ”

"Abba, do you mean he fled with the Kansai cavalry?" He also laughed when he heard the words, and asked tentatively.

"You, you, there's still a lot to learn." Tuhuan couldn't help glaring at Ye Xian, and said angrily, his words have been said so clearly, and he hasn't understood yet, Li Yuntian will never leave anyone behind, otherwise he wouldn't have taken those people on the road.

"Does he want to use the cavalry of the 10,000 Kansai battalion to fight to the death with the pursuers?" also saw that he was reprimanded by Tuhuan again, and a shocked look suddenly appeared on his face, obviously so Li Yuntian had only one way to go.

But how is this possible, you must know that it is the 30,000 elite cavalry of the Timurid Empire that is pursuing, and the combat effectiveness is not lower than that of the cavalry of the Guanxi battalion of the Xiaowu Army, and the commander of the army is the famous general Wendu of the Timurid Empire, and it is not easy for Li Yuntian to defeat Wendu, who has an absolute advantage in strength.

"Who would have thought that he would defeat our soldiers and horses in Liaodong?" The corners of Tuohuan's mouth couldn't help but reveal a wry smile, if it was left to others, he didn't think that he could match the temperature of having an army of 30,000, but Li Yuntian was different, maybe it was the uncertain factor that affected the direction of the battle.

"Abba, what are we going to do?" Ye Xian suddenly fell silent when he heard this, although he didn't believe that Li Yuntian could defeat Wendu, but everything was possible before the battle was clear, God knows if Li Yuntian would create a miracle to defeat Wendu again.

"King Zhongwu is really powerful, it has given us a problem, now the Ming army and the East Chagatai soldiers in the team that continue to move forward add up to 50,000 people, and now as long as they pass Turpan City, they can return to Guanxi, so if we go to attack, they will definitely resist desperately." Tuhuan was also thinking about this issue, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth when he heard this.

Li Yuntian's division of troops made it difficult for Tuhuan to attack the team of Monte Khan and others for a while, after all, there were as many as 50,000 soldiers escorted by him, and he would definitely burst out with a strong will to fight driven by his survival instinct.

What is especially important is that these soldiers have Li Yuntian as a spiritual pillar and will definitely fight to the end with the Northern Yuan army, this is the real headache of Tuhuan, in front of him is a pack of 50,000 wolves with sharp teeth and led by a fierce wolf, not meek and obedient sheep, he doesn't want to suffer heavy losses before fighting the main army of the Ming army, and then he will have less bargaining chips with the Timurid Empire.

"Wait and see!" After a long time, Tuohuan burst out coldly in his mouth, "If King Zhongwu is defeated by Wendu, then we will send troops to attack the relocated team, and the Monte Khan of Eastern Chagatai must be in it, and we have the upper hand in the cooperation with those guys in Western Chagatai!" ”

"If Wen is defeated by King Zhongwu, then we will just blwart and send troops to go shopping, and then we can explain to the people of Xichagatai!" After hesitating for a moment, Tu Huan slowly said his other plan, he is a smart person, he naturally knows the importance of preserving his strength, and if he fights to the death with Li Yuntian now, he will only cheapen the Timurid Empire in vain.

This is similar to the Three Kingdoms Zhuge Liang to put Cao Cao in Chibi, once Cao **** is in Chibi, then the weak Liu Bei will definitely be destroyed by Dongwu, and if Cao Cao is a strong enemy, Dongwu will have to continue to ally with Liu Bei, Liu Bei can also get more benefits from it, and finally become a three-legged momentum.

And now Dehuan is like Liu Bei in the Three Kingdoms, the Timurid Empire is naturally Eastern Wu, as for Li Yuntian, it is obvious that Cao Cao is Cao Cao, Tuhuan is not willing to see Li Yuntian have an accident now, he also expects Li Yuntian and the Timurid Empire to merge, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman.
