The next night, Li Yuntian set up a banquet to invite Lu Minen and Bai An, saying that it was a banquet was actually just two more meat dishes than usual, after all, the materials in Qinglong City were not abundant now, so naturally they could not prepare sumptuous dishes.

Lu Minen and Bai An were the only two people in the Ming army of Qinglong City who knew that Li Yuntian was fine, so the two of them had always been as steady as Mount Tai and were not as panicked as others.

"Lord Wang, do you want to transfer troops to surround the Kansai Army?" Bai An and Lu Minen knew Li Yuntian's plan to "lure the snake out of the hole", so during the meal, Lu Minen tentatively asked for instructions, so that if the Kwantai Army wanted to rebel, it would be put down as soon as possible to avoid the situation from deteriorating.

"No, just strengthen the defense at the city gate." Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he heard this, he knew that Lu Minen and Bai An were worried that the situation would get out of control after the Kwantan Army rebellion, but he was confident that he could control the situation, so as long as the Kwantsan Army held the city gate, they would lose their threat.

Seeing that Li Yuntian seemed confident, Bai An and Lu Minen no longer mentioned the matter of transferring troops, and it was obvious that Li Yuntian had his arrangements.

At the same time, the Chengbei Military Camp, the Kansai Army Shazhou Wei Camp.

Shazhou Wei Commander Tahar invited the senior generals of the Guanxi Army to a banquet, and all the Guanxi nobles, including the loyal and righteous king Tuhuan Timur, attended, and because tomorrow the Wei commanders and envoys of the Guanxi Seven Guards would go to the small courtyard where Li Yuntian lived to "retreat and pray for blessings," the atmosphere at the banquet was a little dull and depressing.

Obviously, not only Takhar and Timur, but also those high-ranking generals of the Kansai Seven Guards realized that the Ming army wanted to put the guard commanders of the Kansai Seven Guards under house arrest as a way to balance the Kwantai Army, and no one wanted to be taken hostage.

"King Zhongyi, do we really have to wait for death?" Seeing this, Takhar couldn't help but be secretly happy, it seemed that the senior generals of the Kwantxi Army were dissatisfied with this request of the Ming army, so in the middle of the banquet, he finally broke the dull atmosphere of the scene and asked Timur, who was talking to the generals around him.

Hearing this, the Kansai generals at the scene looked at Timur in unison, which was also the choice they were facing now.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Ming army has not made any threats to us now, and this time we went to 'pray for blessings' for the war in Kansai, so let's wait and see what happens." Hearing this, Timur put down the wine glass in his hand and replied quietly.

He knew the purpose of Tahar's banquet to invite the generals of Kansai this time, so he did not let King Zhongshun go to the banquet, and let King Zhongshun stay at the Hamiwei garrison in the camp south of the city, otherwise once Tahar was unfavorable to them, Hamiwei would be constrained.

"The prince's words are wrong, King Zhongwu's life and death are uncertain now, how can he pray with us?" Hearing this, Takhar couldn't help but shake his head, and looked at Timur solemnly, "Lord Wang, if the Ming army believes in our Kansai Army, how can they want to use 'prayer' to put the guard commander of the Kansai Seven Guards under house arrest?" If they can do this kind of thing today, they will be able to send our Kansai army to death on the battlefield tomorrow! ”

Hearing this, the generals of the Kwantai Army nodded their heads one after another, all agreeing with Tahar's statement.

Since Li Yuntian is now unconscious, the person in charge of Qinglong City is no longer Li Yuntian, which makes the generals of the Kwantan Army trust the Ming Army to the minimum, and they are worried that the Ming Army will abandon the Kwanton Army.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the city defense of Qinglong City is ironclad, and the troops of Dayuan and Xichagatai outside the city will definitely not be able to capture it, otherwise they will start attacking the city last year."

Seeing this, Timur couldn't help but smile bitterly, the generals of Guanxi obviously felt that the Ming army would be unfavorable to them, so they said loudly after a deep sigh, "As far as this king knows, Dayuan and Xi Chagatai have not captured Jiayuguan so far, and the Ming reinforcements are about to arrive at Jiayuguan, and the Ming army's counterattack is imminent, so we must not act recklessly." ”

"Lord Wang, the reason why Da Yuan and Xi Chagatai did not attack Qinglong City is presumably to accumulate strength to deal with the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty, and now the life and death of King Zhongwu is unknown, Qinglong City has lost its threat to Dayuan and West Chagatai, and without King Zhongwu to participate in the war, the Ming army will be unable to move an inch in Guanxi."

Takhar didn't know the battle situation outside the city, and heard that the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan still hadn't taken Jiayu Pass, so he rolled his eyes and said, "Lord Wang, now the main forces of Xichagatai and Dayuan have been dragged in Qinglong City by King Zhongwu, and now Da Ming must have known the news of King Zhongwu's assassination, so I'm afraid they won't dare to act rashly, and nine times out of ten they will stay at Jiayu Pass to wait and see!" ”

Hearing this, Timur suddenly fell silent, Takhar was right, Li Yuntian's assassination seemed to be a personal incident, but it had already had a significant impact on the situation in the Kansai war.

Since the Ming army in Qinglong City knows the battle situation in Jiayuguan, it means that they have a way to contact the Ming army in Jiayuguan, and now that Li Yuntian is not assassinated, he will definitely make a battle plan before the arrival of the Ming army reinforcements, including the Guanxi Army, the Ming army in Qinglong City is the main force of the Ming Dynasty in Guanxi, and these 200,000 troops will influence the trend of the battle in Guanxi under the leadership of Li Yuntian.

Now that Li Yuntian has fallen into a coma, he can no longer specify a battle plan, which cuts off the connection between Qinglong City and the Ming army in Jiayuguan, because neither Bai An nor Lu Minen can obviously replace Li Yuntian's role.

As for Zhou Zheng of Zhongguo Gong in Jiayuguan, he may be able to replace Li Yuntian to command the Ming army in the northwest, but since he could not personally command Qinglong City, the Ming army in Qinglong City has actually fallen into isolation.

In the eyes of the generals of the Guanxi Army, the Ming army at Jiayuguan and the Ming reinforcements that were about to arrive could not compete with the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan army on the battlefield, and the cavalry of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan Dynasty alone was enough to inflict heavy damage on the Ming army.

In fact, the biggest gap between the Ming Dynasty and the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan Dynasty is the cavalry, and there are few mountains and forests in the western part of the country and even in the Western Regions, so the terrain is suitable for cavalry combat, and a large-scale cavalry charge on the battlefield can easily tear apart the enemy's defensive line, and the next thing is a rout.

Although the Ming Dynasty had a large population and could draw reinforcements from all over the country to meet the battle at Jiayuguan, the number of horses was limited, and an excellent cavalry needed time to sharpen, so this became the biggest disadvantage of the Ming army.

It is worth mentioning that the Western Expeditionary Army almost transferred the cavalry of the Ming Northern Guard Army, so there is no way to form a cavalry force enough to go to the battlefield in a short period of time, once Zhou Zheng led the Ming army out of Jiayuguan to fight, then the Ming army will face a massacre, just like a soldier with a rifle fighting a tank on the battlefield.

This is also the biggest difference between the Ming army of Qinglong City and the Ming army of Jiayuguan, plus the cavalry of the seven guards of Guanxi, the cavalry of Qinglong City is as high as 50,000 people, and the cavalry of the Guanxi battalion of the Xiaowu Army alone is more than the Ming cavalry of Jiayuguan, and the quality is much higher than that of the Ming army in Jiayuguan.

Once the Ming army went to war with the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan in Guanxi, the role of cavalry was extremely prominent, and no matter how superior Zhou Zheng's command talent was, there was no way to overcome this restraint between the arms.

Therefore, as Takhar said, if Li Yuntian could not recover in time, then there was a good chance that the Ming army would stick to Jiayu Pass and would not go out to fight the Timurid Empire and the armies of the Northern Yuan.

In addition to the huge disadvantage in cavalry, it is particularly important that the Ming court did not regard the Guanxi region as a place that the Ming Dynasty had to defend, so the primary purpose was to defend the Jiayu Pass to prevent the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan from breaking through the Jiayu Pass and entering the northwest of the Ming Dynasty.

This means that if Li Yuntian can't wake up, Qinglong City will become a lonely city in Kansai, and the people in the city will be trapped and killed in it.

Although Li Yuntian had stockpiled a lot of supplies in Qinglong City before the war, the number of people in the city had increased a lot more than expected, so the grain and grass in the city would last until the end of the year at most, and when the time came, he would either die in battle or starve to death.

Looking at the silent Dehuan Timur, a smug look suddenly flashed on Tahar's face, what he said was the truth, so he was not afraid of Timur's refutation, if Dehuan Timur insisted on defending Daming, it would only cause disgust and isolation among the Kansai generals.

"Commander Tahar, what do you think we should do?" Seeing this situation, a senior general of the Kwanti Army couldn't help but ask Tahar, now can be described as a critical moment for the life and death of the Kwanti Army, and the Kwanti Army needs to make a choice, otherwise it will be too late for the guard commander of the Kwantai Seven Guards to be placed under house arrest.

The generals at the scene looked at Talha one after another, and because Takhar had been active in the past, he had gained the trust of many Kansai generals.

"Ladies and gentlemen, King Zhongwu is broad-minded, I can have today's prosperity in Guanxi, King Zhongwu is indispensable, if King Zhongwu is healthy, this official will continue to follow the Ming Dynasty to fight."

Tahar glanced around at the generals, pondered for a while, and then said seriously, "But now that the king of Zhongwu is more auspicious, and the Ming army in the city treats our Kansai army as outsiders, once the war starts, we will be sent to death, for the future of Kansai, the official feels that we can't sit still!" ”

"Commander Tahar, what do you think?" Hearing this, a senior general couldn't help but ask.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the reason why Kansai is attached to the Ming Dynasty is just to protect ourselves in the war-torn Western Regions, and now the Ming Dynasty treats us as outsiders to take precautions, so there is no need for us to die with them!"

Tahar knew that the Kansai generals present at this moment knew what he meant, but no one had pierced this layer of window paper, so he turned pale and said solemnly to the people around him, "According to this official, we might as well vote for Dayuan, so that there is a way out!" ”

Timur couldn't help frowning when he heard this, although he had already guessed that Tahar was secretly colluding with the Northern Yuan spies in the city, but he was still a little surprised when Tahar really wanted to rebel, after all, Tahar had firmly followed Daming in the past, and this face became too fast.

"Commander Tahar, can we trust Dayuan?" After listening to Tahar's words, the Kansai generals at the scene couldn't help but glance at each other, and then one of the Kansai generals asked worriedly.

This is the most concerned issue of the Kansai generals, after all, Dayuan is not a good stubble, and he likes to backtrack, they don't want to be betrayed by Dayuan in a daze.
