Chapter 1037 - Entrusted

"I don't know what Your Excellency is called?" After glancing at the young official, Li Yuntian asked quietly, although it seemed that the young official said it was very simple, but in fact, there were not many people who really realized that there were major hidden dangers in the Timurid Empire.

"Lord Yu, the lower official is a barbarian, and the imperial history is the fifth grade." Hearing this, the young official hurriedly bowed to Li Yuntian and reported to his home.

The Eastern Chagatai Khanate was similar to the official system of the Mengyuan Dynasty, both had a royal history platform, which pickled the good and evil of hundreds of officials, political gains and losses, and could be said to be an important yamen in the court of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

Hearing about the experience of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, Li Yuntian immediately realized that this person was a member of the royal family of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, otherwise he would not have held such an important position at a young age.

Moreover, the civil and military officials of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate at the scene were all above the third rank, and the fifth rank of the barbarian capital was not qualified to sit at all, unless he had the status of a royal family.

"Lord Wang, he is the son of Ben Khan's cousin, and he has traveled to Xichagatai, so he knows more about the affairs of Xichagatai." Sure enough, the next moment, Monte Khan said to Li Yuntian with a smile, and he was very happy that he could answer Li Yuntian's question.

"No wonder he knew so much about the situation in the Timurid Empire." Li Yuntian also laughed when he heard this, and then looked at the barbarian capital, "The experience of the barbarian capital, you are right, the Timurid Empire is indeed a plate of scattered sand, but what this king wants to ask is the disadvantage of the Timurid Empire when it fought with my Ming Dynasty, not the situation after its defeat." ”

"This ......" The barbarians thought that Li Yuntian would praise him a few words, but Li Yuntian pointed out that he did not answer the question, and a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face, he really didn't know how to defeat the powerful Timurid Empire.

"The barbarian capital experience, this king asks you, if this war between the Timurid Empire and the Ming Dynasty is stalemate in the Kansai region for a year, what will happen?" Seeing that the barbarian capital was speechless for a while, Li Yuntian reminded him with a smile.

"A year of stalemate?" Hearing this, the barbarian frowned slightly, and then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted at Li Yuntian, "I know, it's grain and grass, Xichagatai has mobilized 500,000 troops this time, and it's a long-range operation, if they are blocked in Kansai for a year, grain and grass will not be able to be supplied!" ”

Hearing this, the officials of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate on the scene showed happy looks, although Timur went east to conquer the Ming Dynasty after many years of preparation, but because the distance between the Timurid Empire and the Ming Dynasty was too far away, and it was a sparsely populated mountain area along the way, so when he arrived at the city of Beshbali, there was not much food and grass, and he completely relied on plundering the local area to replenish the supplies.

Now, the war on the borders of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate has been going on for almost two years, and the local supplies have long been plundered by the troops of the Timurid Empire and requisitioned by the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, where there is still surplus grain and grass to supply the troops of the Timurid Empire.

Therefore, as long as the Ming army held the troops of the Timurid Empire in the Kansai region for a year, then the troops of the Timurid Empire would be in great trouble because of logistical supplies.

Looking at the officials on the scene who gradually became excited, Monte Khan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and a smile of relief appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Gurrusa's face was blue and white, originally he was not convinced by Li Yuntian, thinking that the young Li Yuntian was not as powerful as rumored, but now he was convinced, it turned out that Li Yuntian had already thought of a way to deal with the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and he believed that with Li Yuntian's ability, he would definitely be able to hold the Qinglong City in Guanxi for a year.

The reason why Gurlusa believes that Li Yuntian can defend Qinglong City is that in addition to Li Yuntian's outstanding military talent, more importantly, he has been to Qinglong City and knows that Qinglong City has an extremely strong city defense, as long as the grain and grass are sufficient, the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan coalition army will have no way to deal with it.

Even if Beiyuan used the explosives of the Western Expeditionary Army captured in Heishui City, Gurlusa did not think that it could blow up the rock wall of Qinglong City, which was nearly ten meters thick, and in his opinion, Qinglong City was completely a huge fortress made of rocks, making it impossible for the outside world to attack it.

Moreover, Gurlusa felt that there was not much explosives left in the Northern Yuan, and it could not be used against the walls of Qinglong City at all.

Compared with the long-range warfare of the Timurid Empire, the Ming Dynasty, which had a geographical advantage, could more easily raise and transport grain and grass, so the longer the stalemate was, the more unfavorable it was to the joint forces of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan.

Of course, the premise is that the Ming army can drag the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan army in Guanxi, and Gurlusa must have thought that the Ming Dynasty was powerless to stop it in Guanxi, but now that Li Yuntian is here, things have changed, making the strength advantage of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan suddenly become a drag.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Ming Dynasty is strong, not only with millions of soldiers but also with rich materials, His Majesty the Emperor has ordered the mobilization of grain and grass from all over the country to Jiayuguan, and the abundant materials will be the most solid backing for my Ming soldiers."

Just when Gurlusa was stunned, Li Yuntian spoke again and said in a deep voice, "This king believes that as long as the Ming Dynasty holds Guanxi, then the Timurid Empire and the army of the Northern Yuan Dynasty will inevitably be dragged to death due to lack of food and grass. ”

"If they want to enter the Ming Dynasty around the western region, then this king will definitely cut off their logistics line, and fight back and forth with the Ming soldiers in the pass, and implement the tactics of clearing the wilderness, not leaving them a grain of grain, making it difficult for them to move an inch in the Ming Dynasty!" As he spoke, Li Yuntian paused, glanced around at the scene and said in a proud voice.

"It is worthy of being the loyal martial king of the Ming Dynasty, it seems that he has already laid up the chess piece of Qinglong City in Guanxi, and now the existence of Qinglong City will become a disaster for Xichagatai and Dayuan."

Guerlusa looked at Li Yuntian dumbfounded, it was obvious that the Blue Dragon City would decide the direction of this great battle in the Western Regions, thinking that the Blue Dragon City was invested and built by Li Yuntian sparing no effort, he couldn't help but suspect that Li Yuntian had already begun to lay out in the Western Regions a few years ago, and now he had been richly rewarded.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's toast the prince with a cup, and wish the prince a successful start and success!" At this time, Monte Khan smiled and raised the wine glass in his hand and said in a loud voice to the people present.

"To the prince!" Hearing this, the officials of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate raised their wine glasses and toasted Li Yuntian and shouted in unison.

"To the prince!" Seeing this, Bai An, Li Zixi and the others also invariably toasted Li Yuntian, at least they could still hear the word "prince".

"Great Khan, it should be wishing us a successful start and success." Li Yuntian laughed when he heard this, picked up his wine glass and said to Monte Khan, quietly correcting Monte Khan's previous statement.

Although the army of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate has been beaten to pieces by the Timurid Empire, it is still an ally of the Ming Dynasty, so Li Yuntian naturally has to give it corresponding respect, lest the Ming Dynasty sing a one-man show there, which is not conducive to the Ming Dynasty's planning in the Western Regions.

"Yes, I wish us a successful start." A happy smile appeared on the face of the Great Khan of Monte, although Li Yuntian only corrected one of his statements, but it invisibly gave him enough face, and also gave enough face to the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

"Victory, success!" Hearing this, the officials of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate present raised the wine glasses in their hands at Li Yuntian and Monte Great Khan, and said in unison.

Li Yuntian smiled and drank all the wine in the wine glass, and Monte Khan and the others also drank the wine in the wine glass one after another, and the atmosphere at the scene became very warm.

After Li Yuntian's previous words, everyone felt that the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan Dynasty were not as terrible as they thought before, which made everyone's mood extremely relaxed.

"General Gurrusha, this king heard about last night's incident, but I don't know if you really think about the future of the Khanate or if you are greedy for life and fear of death and want to betray the country for glory!" After putting down the wine glass in his hand, Li Yuntian looked at Gurlusa, who was standing there with a pale face, and asked quietly, presumably Gurlusa was now full of mixed feelings in his heart, and he felt remorse for his previous impulsiveness.

"Xiaguan is naturally thinking about the future of the Khanate!" Gurrusa's face changed when he heard this, and he replied loudly to Li Yuntian, to be honest, he really regretted it in his heart now, who would have thought that the Ming Dynasty attached so much importance to the war in the Western Regions, and with the assistance of the Ming Dynasty, there was no need for the Eastern Chagatai Khanate to yield to the Timurid Empire.

"This king also believes that you will not do that kind of thing to sell your lord for glory, presumably to find a way out for the khanate." Li Yuntian bowed slightly when he heard this, and then said to the Great Khan of Monte, "Great Khan, it is an eventful time now, we need talents like General Gurlusa to fight against the enemy army, General Gurrusha is just a moment of confusion, I don't know if the Great Khan can give him a confession to atone for his sins, so that he can prove his loyalty to the Khanate." ”

"Now that the prince has spoken, then Ben Khan should give him a chance to mend his ways." Hearing this, Monte Khan glanced at the nervous Gullusa, and then said to Li Yuntian, "I don't know how he atoned for his sins?" ”

"Gullusa, the Great Khan has been extrajudicial to you and given you a chance to atone for your sins, are you willing to share your worries for the Great Khan, contribute to the khanate, and seek benefits for the people?" Li Yuntian smiled slightly, and asked Gurlusa in a deep voice.

"The lower official is willing!" Gurlusa thought that he would definitely die this time, and he would have to bear the charge of rebellion for 10,000 years, after all, the crime of rebellion is a capital crime in any country, but now he suddenly heard that Li Yuntian was going to give him a chance to make up for his mistakes, and hurriedly nodded to Li Yuntian and replied loudly.

"Don't lose Bali City is not a place to stay for a long time, although the enemy army besieging the city has been defeated, but their reinforcements will come back at any time, so the Great Khan and some of the soldiers and civilians should withdraw to Qinglong City in Guanxi for a while, and the remaining soldiers and civilians need someone to lead them to take refuge elsewhere."

Li Yuntian had long known that Gurlusa would agree, and the reputation of a proud person like Gurlusa was more important than life and death, so he would definitely redeem his reputation by atonement, so he said in a deep voice, "Not only that, but the Khanate needs people to deal with the enemy army, disrupt their logistics routes, capture weak towns, make them unrestful, and support the king and the Great Khan in the decisive battle against the enemy in Guanxi." ”

"General Gurrusa, are you willing to lead the rest of the army and civilians to take refuge elsewhere and lead the army to fight the enemy?" Saying that, Li Yuntian's expression became serious, and he said in a deep voice, "At most, this king and the Great Khan will definitely lead the army to fight back, and this king believes that you can hold on to that time." ”

"The lower official is willing!" Gurrusa was stunned at first, and then became agitated, which meant that he would lead the Eastern Chagatai Khanate when Monte Khan went to Qinglong City to take refuge, and he could be said to have entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, which was enough to clear him of the crime of rebellion.

Li Yuntian suddenly showed a smile on the corner of his mouth when he heard this, and quietly glanced at the Great Khan of Monte, the two of them just sang a red face and a white face and then gave Gurlusa a step down, which not only enabled Gurlusa to get rid of the charge of treason and serve the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, but also stabilized the turbulent situation of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate's court, so that it could unite and unite with the outside world.
