The reason why the generals of the Seven Guards of Kansai, including the high-ranking generals of Aduanwei, Qu Xianwei and Chijin Mongol Guard, did not answer Timur but fell silent again was because they actually did not believe in Beiyuan's promise, and Beiyuan did not do much treacherous things, once they lost their use value, God knows how Beiyuan would treat them.

At the same time, Li Yuntian also showed a very high vigilance against the Kansai Seven Guards, which can be seen from the arrangement of the Kansai Seven Guards.

Qinglong City can be stationed 200,000 troops, this is not a secret in Guanxi and even the Western Regions, Monte Khan has led 30,000 soldiers of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate into Jiayu Pass, Li Yuntian does not want Monte Khan to become the commander of the light pole in the future, so he retains this military power for him, and in the future he also hopes to strengthen his control over the Western Regions through Monte Khan.

In this way, plus the 20,000 Western Expeditionary Army that Li Yuntian brought back from Beshi Bali City, the strength of Qinglong City has 120,000, and it can also garrison 80,000 horses, which is enough to withdraw the 100,000 soldiers of the Guanxi Seven Guards if they are squeezed.

Obviously, in the event of a war with the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan, Qinglong City would be the safest place in the Kansai region.

However, Li Yuntian's order to the Seven Guards of Guanxi was to fight guerrillas in Guanxi, and there was no intention to let them withdraw into Qinglong City, which meant that Li Yuntian was wary of them, if they secretly fornicated with the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan, Qinglong City would be wiped out.

However, if you don't enter the Qinglong City, the Seven Guards of Guanxi will definitely be wiped out by the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan, because the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan definitely don't want such a powerful armed force to appear in Guanxi, which is very detrimental to their logistics and control over Guanxi.

Therefore, Li Yuntian's move is actually to force the ambiguous Kansai Qiwei to express his position, after all, now he has no time to spend it with a hesitant Kansai Qiwei.

Li Yuntian actually did not close the gate of Qinglong City to the Guanxi Qiwei, although he had previously put forward two requirements, one was to let the Guanxi Qiwei fight guerrillas, and the other was to move his family to Qinglong City, but it was obvious that the second request was the point.

As long as the senior generals of the Guanxi Qiwei move their families to Qinglong City, then he can let the people of the Guanxi Qiwei take refuge in Qinglong City, because this is enough to show the loyalty of the Guanxi Qiwei to the Ming Dynasty, how could Li Yuntian push them to a dead end and let them go shopping with the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan?

Li Yuntian had already made it very clear when he convened the generals of the Seven Guards of Guanxi that the grain and grass of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan Dynasty were difficult to sustain a long-term battle, so Li Yuntian's task in the Guanxi was to hold the Qinglong City until next year, and the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty would arrive in Guanxi next year, and then they could start a decisive battle with the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan.

Therefore, the primary task of the Ming army in Guanxi at this stage is to preserve its strength and recuperate, rather than fighting guerrilla attacks in a small way, and the heavy snow in the Western Regions in winter will become their natural barrier, so that the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan army have to stop attacking to survive this long and cold winter, and the spring will be the time when the Ming army begins to counterattack.

As for whether they can trust Li Yuntian, the generals of the Kansai Seven Guards also know it in their hearts.

Although the rise of Qinglong City has made Daming enhance his voice in Guanxi, no matter whether Li Yuntian is false or sincere, Kansai Qiwei has indeed received a lot of benefits from Qinglong City over the years, and agriculture, animal husbandry and commerce and other industries have developed rapidly, and Li Yuntian has contributed to all this.

Therefore, compared with the generals of the Northern Yuan Dynasty Guanxi Qiwei, they believed in Li Yuntian's words more, from the time they were forced to surrender by Li Yuntian with superior forces in Beizhili a few years ago, and finally went to Beijing to ask Emperor Xuande for guilt and were released, Li Yuntian's words have never broken their word.

However, the senior generals of the Seven Guards of the Kansai had an inexplicable fear of Li Yuntian, and they were worried that the Kansai would become the Kansai of the Ming Dynasty instead of the Kansai of the Seven Guards of the Kansai under Li Yuntian's rule, and Li Yuntian would gradually sweep away the forces of the Kansai through the Blue Dragon City.

In addition, the situation in Kansai is severe, and they can't judge who will win the battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan, so they are now wavering, because there is a very big risk in the future of both the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Yuan.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this king has been paying attention to the situation of the Mongolian political envoys of the Ming Dynasty recently, since the Ming Dynasty established the Mongolian political envoys in the Hetao area, Hala and Lin areas, the local residents live a comfortable life, and the former high-ranking officials such as the vulture Polo have been reused by the Ming Dynasty."

After a while, Timur broke the calm of the scene again, looked at everyone expressionlessly and said, "To be exact, King Zhongwu reused them, this time King Zhongwu came to Kansai, and Vulture Polo and others will definitely be transferred to participate in the war, then they and Dayuan will definitely fight to the death, with their participation will make up for the disadvantage of the Ming cavalry, if the battle of Kansai is stalemate, the winner must be the Ming Dynasty." ”

"King Zhongyi, so sooner or later, Kansai will be included in the Ming Dynasty?" Hearing this, a stout general couldn't help but nervously ask Timur about Dehuan.

The reason why Vulture Polo and others were able to become high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the Mongolian political envoys was because they gave up their control of the local government, and had gradually transformed from the tribal leaders of the Northern Yuan Dynasty to the nobles of the Ming Dynasty, and no longer enjoyed the inherent territory, and the Mongolian political envoys became the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, the situation in Guanxi is very similar to that of the Mongol political envoys, both of whom are located in the border areas of the Ming Dynasty and are ruled by local forces, and according to the strategy implemented by Li Yuntian, the high-ranking generals of the Kansai such as Timur and the high-ranking Mongolian generals such as the Bald Polo will realize the transformation from the leaders of local forces to the nobles of the Ming Dynasty.

To tell the truth, Li Yuntian has done this very commendably, ensuring the interests of the high-ranking generals of Mongolia and Kansai to the greatest extent, although they have lost the power to rule the local area, but they can live a stable life in the future without having to fight and kill, God knows when they will be annexed by others.

It's just that, after all, the Kansai Seven Guards have ruled the Kansai region for a long time, and no one is willing to hand over the power in their hands for a while, and they are trying to keep it by all means.

"Isn't Kansai already a Ming dynasty?" Hearing this, Timur couldn't help but show a helpless smile at the corner of his mouth, and asked the stout general, since the Kansai Qiwei accepted the canonization of the Ming Dynasty, it has been the territory of the Ming Dynasty legally, but the Ming Dynasty has been unable to take care of it.

The stout general was speechless when he heard this, although everyone knew that the Guanxi Qiwei defected to the Ming Dynasty only as an expedient measure for self-preservation, and the Ming Dynasty's decree could not be implemented in the Guanxi, but in this way, the Guanxi region was the territory of the Ming Dynasty in legal theory, and it was reasonable for Li Yuntian to return the military and political power of the Guanxi to the imperial court.

After all, this is a world of the jungle, since the senior generals of Kansai cannot hold Guanxi, then they can only give up power, compared to the forcible seizure of the Northern Yuan, Li Yuntian's approach can undoubtedly ensure the interests of the senior generals of the Kansai Seven Guards.

"I decided, follow Daming, Dayuan has dreamed of swallowing Kansai all these years, if we take refuge in them, we will definitely not have a good life in the future."

At this time, a general stood up suddenly, looked at the crowd at the scene and said loudly, "Even if the battle of Kansai is defeated, then with the character of King Zhongwu, we will definitely be properly settled, and with the strength of the Ming Dynasty, we will definitely fight back in the future." ”

"Da Yuan has always been a wolf, and now he wants to deal with Da Ming to win us over, once we have no value, we will definitely be swallowed up, and then not only will we have nothing, but I am afraid that we will lose our lives." Immediately, another general stood up and loudly stated his attitude.

"I choose Daming!"

"Da Ming is more reliable than Da Yuan!"

"Has Da Yuan attacked our Kansai Seven Guards less over the years? If you follow them, sooner or later they will be swallowed up! ”

……

Under the leadership of these two generals, more than half of the generals of the Kansai Seven Guards on the scene expressed their willingness to follow the Ming Dynasty, and in their opinion, the Ming Dynasty could better guarantee their interests in the Kansai than the Great Yuan.

The remaining Kansai Seven Guard generals couldn't help but glance at each other, with an embarrassed look on their faces, they had some scruples in their hearts, after all, now the alliance of the Great Yuan and the Timurid Empire is powerful, in case Da Ming is defeated in Kansai, then the Kansai generals.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Seven Guards of Kansai have always been in the same spirit, and this can gain a foothold in the Western Regions, but now that it is a matter of life and death, no matter what choice everyone makes, this king can understand."

Timur glanced at the situation in the room, and said quietly, "Before coming, King Zhongshun had decided with this king that the battle of Kansai was on the side of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Have you ever remembered that a few years ago, Da Yuan defeated the Northern Expedition army led by Emperor Da Ming, and Da Yuan's army captured Da Ming's Beizhili and surrounded Da Ming Jingshi, Da Ming's elite northern troops can be said to have lost everything, and I am afraid that no one would have thought that Da Ming could counterattack in a desperate situation."

As he spoke, Timur's expression became serious, and he said earnestly, "However, the truth is beyond everyone's expectations, the Zhongwu King of the Ming Dynasty actually defeated Dayuan in Liaodong with fewer victories, and subdued many tribes and Jurchens in Dayuan, and then turned the tide in one fell swoop, and beat Dayuan to flee to Mobei, and he did not dare to invade the south again over the years." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, the strength of the Ming Western Expeditionary Army is obvious to all, if it weren't for the West Chagatai and Dayuan to lure the enemy deep and concentrate their superior forces to catch the Western Expeditionary Army off guard, then the Ming Western Expeditionary Army would definitely not have been defeated so badly."

Under the gaze of everyone, Timur slowly stood up and looked solemnly at the generals of the Guanxi Seven Guards at the scene, "What this king wants to remind everyone is that after the Ming Emperor was defeated by Dayuan during the Northern Expedition a few years ago, there were very few elite troops in the Ming Dynasty, but in a short period of time, the Ming Dynasty raised four or five hundred thousand troops for the Western Expedition, and I am afraid that no country in the world can do this kind of strength except for the Ming Dynasty." ”

The last words of Timur gave a great touch to the generals of the Seven Guards of Guanxi at the scene, as Timur said, except for the Ming Dynasty, there is probably no country in the world that has such a strong war mobilization ability, and in just a few years after the main force was almost lost, it established a more powerful elite Western Expeditionary Army, which means that it is not easy for the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan to invade the Ming Dynasty.

What is particularly important is that the most elite Xiaowu army of the Ming Dynasty has not yet appeared in the battlefield of the Western Regions, and the Western Expeditionary Army led by Song Hai, the Duke of Wuguo, is still in Lanye City under unfavorable circumstances, which makes the army of the Timurid Empire encounter a lot of trouble, so once the Xiaowu army is dispatched, the battle situation is bound to change dramatically.

"I won't hide it from you, this king is going to find King Zhongwu now, Kanseo will soon be occupied by Dayuan and Xichagatai, and Qinglong City is the only safe place, so this king wants to ask King Zhongwu to allow the soldiers and civilians of Hamiwei to enter Qinglong City for temporary refuge."

Seeing the thoughtful expressions on the faces of all the generals present, Timur couldn't help but flash a fine light in front of him, and then arched his hand to everyone and led the generals of Hamiwei away.

The generals of the six guards such as Andingwei hurriedly got up to see off Timur of Tuhuan, and then led their respective guards back to their homes with a heavy heart, and the highest rank and status of the seven guards in Guanxi was the loyal and loyal king of Hamiwei, so it was most appropriate for Timur to go to Li Yuntian to mention the matter of taking refuge in the city.
