With the arrival of Zhang Hao and his army, the Ming army in Guanxi can be described as strong, and the most important thing is that these Ming troops in Guanxi are the main force used by the Ming Dynasty to confront the Northern Yuan and Timurid Empire, and have the strength to confront the Northern Yuan soldiers and Timurid Empire soldiers on the battlefield.

It was precisely because of this that Tuhuan and Khordu Khan had to retreat, and once they were blocked by the Ming army in Kansai, they would be completely annihilated.

Today, the Kwansai Ming army had two options, one was to block the army of the Timurid Empire, and the other was to block the army of the Northern Yuan.

Obviously, the cooperation between the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan Dynasty had ended with the end of the Battle of the Ancient City of Dunhuang, and the two sides were no longer able to attack the Ming Dynasty, so they would definitely part ways once they left the customs.

The Timurid Empire's army would have to return to the Western Regions through the Yumen Pass, which was under the control of the Ming army, making it much more risky for war.

The Northern Yuan was different, after leaving the Jiayu Pass, the Northern Yuan would wave its army north and return to Mobei through the grassland, and its return journey was calmer than that of the Timurid Empire.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the strength of our army in Guanxi is comparable to that of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan coalition army, and if you want to swallow both sides, a fierce war will inevitably break out."

After everyone present finished circulating the small note, Li Yuntian sighed and said, "Now that the war in Kansai is coming to an end, this king does not want to see the needless bloodshed of the soldiers again, so he has decided to concentrate on eliminating the Northern Yuan, which is the greatest threat to my Ming Dynasty!" ”

"As for the Timurid Empire, it is far away from my Ming Dynasty, and after this defeat, it is difficult to be an enemy of our Ming Dynasty."

Saying that, Li Yuntian glanced around at Zhang Hao, Niu Shihao and others in the room, and said solemnly, "The lesser of two evils, this king intends to let them go, if this king is not wrong, Khordu Khan will definitely face the situation of domestic rebellion after returning this time, and when they are exhausted, we will wave our army to the west, and they will have no power to fight back!" ”

After hearing Li Yuntian's opinion, Zhang Hao, Niu Shihao and others nodded one after another, it is true that if the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan are intercepted at the same time, it will cause serious casualties, so it is the wisest choice to concentrate on attacking the one that poses the greatest threat to the Ming Dynasty, and the Northern Yuan is undoubtedly the best target.

"Lord Wang, why are you setting up an ambush there?" Seeing that Li Yuntian had already made up his mind, Zhang Hao couldn't help but ask.

"After the Northern Yuan leaves Jiayu Pass, they will immediately go north and go to the grassland through the Chijin Mongolian Guard, which is the closest to Jiayu Pass."

Li Yuntian groaned for a moment when he heard this, got up and walked to the Kansai map hanging on the wall on the side, stretched out his hand and pressed it on the Chisha City of the Chijin Mongolian Guard, and said in a deep voice, "The north of the Chijin Mongolian Guard is the Hanhai Sea, so if you want to leave the Guanxi Chisha City, it is a necessary place, and at the same time, this is also the only way for the Northern Yuan to go to the Hetao area, so let's set up a heavy army here!" ”

"Duke Yiguo, Marquis Anping, tomorrow the two of you will lead 150,000 Northern Expeditionary Army to Chisha City, and you must stop Beiyuan." Saying that, Li Yuntian looked at Zhang Hao and Niu Shihao, and said solemnly, "Be sure to block the Northern Yuan under Chisha City and wait for the arrival of reinforcements led by this king!" ”

The so-called Hanhai refers to the desert Gobi on the steppe, and generally speaking, large-scale marches will not enter the Hanhai, otherwise it is likely that there will be no entry or exit.

The Hanhai region in the north of the Chijin Mongol Defense is vast, so for the Northern Yuan, which has more than 100,000 troops, going to the Hanhai Sea is a last resort, and there is no way to solve the problem with the water source alone, and if it is not done well, the whole army will be wiped out.

Li Yuntian not only had to prevent the Northern Yuan from escaping to Mobei through Chisha City, but also had to be wary of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan army that rushed to the aid of the Hetao region after passing through Chisha City.

Obviously, in the face of the current situation, the troops of the Timurid Empire can only retreat to Mobei with the Northern Yuan, so that the strength of the Northern Yuan will be doubled, and the Hetao area will be in danger at that time.

Therefore, Li Yuntian must block Tuhuan and others under Chisha City, so that he can solve the Northern Yuan once and for all, if the Northern Yuan breaks through the defense line of the Ming army in Chisha City and goes to join the army in Hetao, then the consequences will be quite serious, and Mobei will have no peace at all.

"Don't worry, the prince, we will definitely block Beiyuan in Chisha City!" Zhang Hao and Niu Shihao knew the seriousness of the situation, otherwise Li Yuntian would not have given them this important task, so they got up and bowed down to take over this task with a serious expression.

"Marquis An Yong, you lead the remaining troops with this king to intercept Khordu Khan." Li Yuntian bowed slightly to Zhang Hao and Niu Shihao when he heard this, and then looked at Bai An, "We want to put on a decisive posture, force Khordu Khan to negotiate with this king, and then go to Chisha City to meet with the Yiguo Guild." ”

Although Li Yuntian wants to let go of the Timurid Empire's army, he will not let them pass through Kansai in vain, this war Timur Empire has been defeated, Li Yuntian, as the victor, naturally has to make a war claim, otherwise he will not be able to explain to the Empress Dowager, the court and the people.

"The subordinate obeys." Hearing this, Bai An hurriedly stood up and bowed to Li Yuntian excitedly, Li Yuntian took him to negotiate with Khordu Khan, which was equivalent to indirectly helping the Western Expeditionary Army, which made the Western Expeditionary Army save a lot of face.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the last battle of our army in Kansai, and I hope that you will work together to bring this protracted war to a successful conclusion."

An imperceptible smile flashed at the corner of Li Yuntian's mouth when he heard this, and then said in a deep voice, the reason why Bai An was able to participate in the negotiation of his Khordu Khan was precisely because he wanted to maintain the dignity of the Northern Expeditionary Army, in the final analysis, he was the loyal king of the Ming Dynasty, not just the loyal king of the Xiaowu army.

"Obedience!" The remaining generals at the scene immediately stood up, bowed to Li Yuntian in unison, and replied in a loud voice, after two years of hard fighting, they could finally sleep peacefully.

At the same time, Jiuquan City.

In the name of Adai Khan, Tuhuan summoned the Northern Yuan generals of Jiayuguan to come to the meeting, because the news that the Ming army of Didao City had captured Lu Tianxing had reached the ears of everyone, so the atmosphere at the meeting scene was heavy and depressing.

Although Lu Tianxing is a Han who took refuge in him, he and Gu Chen can be said to be the most important advisers of the Northern Yuan, not only the last time they hit Beizhili was a masterpiece planned by the two, but also the two of them sent troops to the west to conquer the Great Horde and this cooperation with the Timurid Empire.

Therefore, in a sense, Lu Tianxing and Gu Chen can be described as the command center of the Northern Yuan, and the two of them gave a lot of ideas to Tuhuan, otherwise the Northern Yuan will always be trapped in Mobei now, and sooner or later it will be destroyed by the Ming Dynasty.

Now that Lu Tianxing has been captured, and Gu Chen is trapped in the Hetao, this makes the two most important helpers missing from Tuhuan's side, if possible, he would rather exchange Ade for Lu Tianxing, although Ade is his son, but it is obviously not as important as Lu Tianxing's side.

"Great Khan, now that the Ming army has an advantage in this war, this Taishi believes that the top priority is to evacuate Guanxi, and then wave his army east into the Hetao."

In silence, Tuhuan, who was sitting on the lower left seat of Adai Great Khan, groaned for a while, and said quietly, "There are more than 100,000 of our allied troops with Xichagatai in the Hetao area, if we can get these troops, we can not only get enough grain and grass in Hetao, but also successfully return to Mobei." ”

"To the Loop?" Ah Dai Khan's brows suddenly frowned slightly when he heard this, to be honest, he was not willing to do this, although Hetao had more than 100,000 troops, but the leader of the Northern Yuan army was the most important son of Dehuan, and Gu Chen, who was even more powerful than Lu Tianxing, so he naturally did not want to see Dehuan's strength strengthened.

After all, the internal struggle within the Northern Yuan Dynasty became increasingly fierce, and with the surrender of the Taiping of the Turhut Department to the Ming Dynasty, the Great Khan of Adai lacked one of the most powerful allies in the Northern Yuan, so he wished that he would also fold with Gu Chen in the Hetao first, which would be a major blow to the dehuan.

"Taishi, now that Mobei has been occupied by the Ming army, Ben Khan thinks that he should return to Mobei first and take Mobei back from the Ming army, and as for the army in Hetao, send people to inform them to evacuate by themselves."

Under the gaze of everyone, Adai Khan was silent for a while and then slowly spoke, "As far as Ben Khan knows, the Ming army does not have many troops in Monan, as long as General Yexian and General Fenglei get the news, they will definitely be able to throw off the Ming army and go north, through Hala and Lincheng to Mobei!" ”

Hearing this, all the Northern Yuan generals present nodded secretly, I have to say that the choice of Adai Khan is the best way out for them at present, it is obvious that if they go to the Hetao area, they will be chased and killed by the Ming army of Guanxi, so they will be in a worrying situation, you must know that there are many Mongolian cavalry and Guanxi cavalry in the Ming army in Guanxi, which will become their nightmare.

"Great Khan, I don't know if the Great Khan has thought about it, if we retreat straight to Mobei, the Ming army in Guanxi will definitely chase and kill all the way, I'm afraid there are not many of our people left when we reach Mobei."

Tuhuan glanced at the people at the scene, knowing that they couldn't wait to return to Mobei to see their families, but how could he leave the Hetao area and sit back and ignore Gu Chen, this is not only because Ye Xian and Gu Chen are his most important people, but more importantly, the troops in the Hetao area are not only the biggest reinforcements of the Northern Yuan now, but also the hope of the revival of the Northern Yuan.

In Tuhuan's view, no matter whether the Northern Yuan retreats directly to Mobei or goes to Hetao this time, the Ming army will definitely follow and kill, since this is not as good as meeting the troops of Hetao, it can not only increase the strength but also raise the grain and grass needed for the retreat, so that the hope of returning to Mobei is greater.

What is particularly important is that even if the Northern Yuan escapes the pursuit of the Ming army, then next year will also face the Ming Dynasty's conquest, for which the Northern Yuan needs troops and grain and grass, especially grain and grass, which can only be provided by the Hetao area and the Hala and Lin areas under the current circumstances.

In other words, only after plundering the people of the Hetao and Hala and Horin regions could the Northern Yuan obtain the grain and grass to support next year's war.

In addition, the Northern Yuan also had a choice, that is, to evacuate to the north or west when the Ming army attacked Mobei again, the Ming army could not stay in Mobei for a long time, and they would kill back as soon as the Ming army left, and Mobei would still be their world at that time.

Tuhuan knew very well that the generals on the scene were fighting this idea, as long as they arrived in Mobei, then it was their world, and they could get rid of the pursuit of the Ming army, and it was obvious that they would waste more time on the way to the Hetao area, and more battles would break out on the way, which everyone was unwilling to face.

Moreover, the Northern Yuan army in Hetao was dominated by the descendants of Dehuan, and the Northern Yuan generals present here came from various tribes, and many of them had grievances with Dehuan, and they were eager to take this opportunity to weaken Dehuan's power.

After all, Mobei is the world of the Mongols, and after the withdrawal of the Ming army, the internal disputes of the Northern Yuan will become a problem that the generals have to face, and not many people like to be aggressive.

Due to the urgency of the situation, and the strength of Tuohuan in the northwest is equal to that of Adai Khan, he must find a way to persuade the generals present to agree to go to join the forces of the Hetao, if he wants to force everyone to do what he wants, it will definitely cause people to resent it, and first support Adai Khan, which is something that Tuohuan does not want to see.
