Li Yuntian looked at the urgent official document held high in his hand, his brows furrowed slightly, he knew that the troops of the Timurid Empire would not arrive in the Kansai region so soon, and the urgent military information sent by the Guanxi Qiwei at this time should have nothing to do with the Timurid Empire.

Don't...... There is something wrong with the remnants of the Northern Yuan? Did he want to take advantage of the fire to rob, or did he collude with the Timurid Empire to deal with the Ming Dynasty?

In the blink of an eye, Li Yuntian's mind was already full of thoughts, in his opinion, if the threat of the Timurid Empire was ruled out, then the biggest enemy of the Kansai Seven Guards in the Western Regions was the remnants of the Northern Yuan.

Since the First World War a few years ago, almost all the Tatar tribes in the northern Yuan Dynasty and southern China were attached to the Ming Dynasty, and the remaining remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty fled to Mobei in a hurry under the leadership of the Northern Yuan Great Khan Adai, the leader of the Oirat tribe, Tuhuan, and the leader of the Turghut tribe, Taiping.

Since the Oirat Division, where Yexian was located, was the most powerful of the three, he had already succeeded Arutai as the Northern Yuan Taishi.

It is worth mentioning that because the current Northern Yuan Dynasty is dominated by the Mobei tribes, and the Mobei tribes are collectively called "Wara", it is more appropriate for the Northern Yuan to be called "Wara" now.

The expression on Li Yuntian's face became a little solemn, if the Northern Yuan really raised troops to invade Guanxi at this time, then the situation in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty would be even worse, there was originally a Timurid Empire that was enough trouble, and now with one more Northern Yuan, the troops alone would be stretched.

Moreover, after several years of dormancy, the Northern Yuan must have held back a momentum to take revenge on the Ming Dynasty, as far as Li Yuntian knew, the Northern Yuan did not stop after retreating to Mobei, but expanded to the west and north.

In the past few years, the army of the Northern Yuan Dynasty has followed the route of the Mongol army's westward expedition, annexing many countries and tribes along the way, and its troops have entered the territory of the Golden Horde.

Since the Golden Horde was now fragmented, its khan could not control the shape of the country, so he could only sit back and watch the Northern Yuan extend its tentacles into its territory.

In fact, the Golden Horde now hopes for the arrival of the Northern Yuan, so that it can unite with the Northern Yuan against the other forces in its territory.

As early as the end of the 14th century, the Golden Horde was in decline, and the Khwarazm, Crimea, and Bulgar gradually split from the Golden Horde, and the Golden Horde was invaded by the Timurid Empire in Central Asia.

At the beginning of the fifteenth century, the Chin Golden Horde split into many small khanates led by the four khanates of the Siberian Khanate, the Kazan Khanate, the Crimean Khanate and the Astrakhan Khanate, which left only a limited territory under the central government of the Golden Horde, so it was called the Great Horde, and the orthodox throne of the Golden Horde was inherited by the Great Horde, but his actual status was equal to that of other khanates.

In other words, the Golden Horde was now far from what it used to be, and it was a much smaller Great Horde.

This is also a historical inevitability, although the Mongol army swept across the Eurasian continent with strong force, but did not have the experience of governing a huge country, coupled with the limited population of Mongolia, so it could not suppress many conquered countries and nations for a long time, and its strength would naturally be gradually weakened.

Now that the Northern Yuan Dynasty is making a comeback, then in Li Yuntian's opinion, there must be something to rely on, otherwise he will definitely not dare to offend the Ming Frontier again.

Because Li Yuntian was pondering the emergency military information sent by the Kansai Qiwei this time, he didn't notice that Narsha on the side was quietly looking at him.

Seeing Li Yuntian's brows frowning slightly, the corners of Narsa's mouth couldn't help but flash a smile, and she felt that the handsome and elegant Li Yuntian's appearance looked a little cute, and she must be thinking about the military situation in Kansai.

"The emperor, the empress dowager, the Northern Yuan gathered nearly 200,000 troops to move closer to the Kansai region, and the seven guards of Kansai asked for assistance from the imperial court."

Because the orthodox emperor is young, and the Empress Dowager Zhang is a lady who does not understand military affairs, so Zhang Fu, who is the first assistant of the military cabinet, is naturally duty-bound.

Boom, there was a commotion in the main hall, it can be said that the house was broken and it rained overnight, who would have thought that the Northern Yuan would also come to join in the fun at this time, and also gathered an astonishing 200,000 troops.

In this way, the strength of the Ming army in the southwest region will be at an absolute disadvantage, not to mention the Weisuo army of the Shaanxi Dusi and the Shaanxi Xingdu Division, not to mention resisting the army of the Timurid Empire, that is, only the twenty troops of the Northern Yuan army are enough.

"Two hundred thousand!" A look of surprise flashed on Li Yuntian's face, he didn't expect that Beiyuan would be able to gather so many troops after experiencing a heavy defeat a few years ago, it seems that Beiyuan's expansion in recent years has been quite effective.

"The emperor, the empress dowager, the minister thinks that this may be the Northern Yuan's suspicious strategy, if the Northern Yuan takes advantage of the Western Chagatai to attack our Ming Dynasty from the Western Regions through the Hetao and take Datong, then the Ming Dynasty will fight on two fronts, wouldn't it be more cost-effective than attacking Guanxi." At this time, Hu Ying stepped forward and said to the Orthodox Emperor and the Empress Dowager of the Zhang family.

The Northern Yuan Dynasty's attack on the Ming Dynasty was mainly to take Datong, but this time the Northern Yuan army ran to Guanxi unusually, which was really unexpected by people, both from a strategic point of view and from a tactical point of view, this is not appropriate, you must know that the abundant water and grass in the Hetao area are suitable for the march of the Northern Yuan cavalry.

Li Yuntian's brows furrowed slightly when he heard this, and then a smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, he knew why the Northern Yuan Army chose Guanxi instead of Hetao and Datong, it seems that Tuhuan has been scared by himself after the last battle, and he does not dare to provoke the Monan Mongolian tribes that have been integrated by the Jiangwutang, as well as the Xiaowu Army of the Shanbei Military Region and the Liaodong Military Region.

The Mongol tribes of Monan are mainly divided into three major parts, which belong to three major regions, namely the Hala Horin region, the Hetao region and the Uliangha region.

Over the years, Li Yuntian has implemented a series of reforms and welfare policies for the Mongol tribes in Monan, which has significantly improved the lives of the people in the Mongol tribes, lived a life of food and clothing, and quickly integrated into the Ming Dynasty.

What is particularly important is that the Mongol tribes of the southern part of the desert were originally hostile to the northern Mongolian tribes, and now after being attached to the Ming Dynasty, they are even more wary of the northern Mongolian tribes, and if Tuhuan leads the army to the area of the southern Mongolian tribes, then it will inevitably lead to a big war between the two sides.

In addition, to the south of the Hetao area is the Shanbei Military Region, and to the east of the Wuliangha area is the Liaodong Military Region.

Once the Mongol tribes of Southern Mo fought with the Northern Yuan Army led by Tu Huan, the Shanbei Military Region and the Liaodong Military Region, the two military regions stationed with elite Ming troops, would definitely send troops to the rescue, which would bring huge trouble to the Northern Yuan Army.

Therefore, Tuhuan chose the most secure way, avoiding the Mongol tribes in southern Mo and the Shanbei and Liaodong military regions, and attacking the Ming Dynasty from the southwest with the Timurid Empire.

The military strength of the Timurid Empire far exceeded that of the Northern Yuan, which wanted to use the strategy of "driving the tiger and devouring the wolf" to make the Ming Dynasty and the Timurid Empire kill each other, so that they could reap the benefits of the fishermen.

Hu Ying's words seemed to be reasonable, and they immediately resonated with many courtiers in the court, and they talked about this matter in a low voice in private.

The Northern Yuan's attack on Daming this time was really abnormal, and it was really unexpected to abandon the Hetao area, which was rich in water and grass, and attacked Daming from the barren Western Regions.

Compared with the astonishment of the military officials in the main hall, Narsa's expression was very relaxed, no matter whether the Northern Yuan invaded the Ming Dynasty or not, she had completed the task of sending the Ming Dynasty this time, and successfully obtained the support of the Ming Dynasty.

Narsa's gaze fell on Li Yuntian, who was frowning and deep in thought, this time the information sent by the Kansai Qiwei suddenly gave her a chance to see how the Ming would make in the face of this sudden attack by the Northern Yuan.

For Narsa, she is naturally most concerned about Li Yuntian, Li Yuntian not only saw through Bahu's true identity just now, but also Wenchen Xungui has no objection to what he said, which greatly surprised her, and further realized Li Yuntian's authority in the Ming court.

Therefore, Narsa wanted to use the opportunity of this Northern Yuan attack to verify whether Li Yuntian had the strength to influence the Ming Dynasty and politics, and she could clearly feel the trust and importance of the Empress Dowager Zhang to Li Yuntian, and also felt that Li Yuntian seemed to have a transcendent status between the civil official group and the Xungui group in the court.

If Narsa did not guess wrong, the Empress Dowager Zhang would definitely come to seek Li Yuntian's opinion on this matter, and whether Li Yuntian's opinion could be adopted by the Empress Dowager Zhang was related to Li Yuntian's influence on the Ming Dynasty's politics.

Due to the suddenness of the Northern Yuan army's pressure on the border, Zhang Fu, Zhou Zheng and other nobles did not get the slightest news in advance, and after listening to Hu Ying's words, several people exchanged opinions in a whisper.

Hu Ying's words really have a lot of truth, the Northern Yuan sent troops this time is exactly surprising, very unreasonable, the only explanation is that it wants to join forces with the Timurid Empire army to invade the Ming Dynasty, which makes the pressure on the southwest of the Ming Dynasty double.

However, according to the current intelligence, the ministers present really can't judge whether the Northern Yuan wants to invade the Western Regions this time, or attack Datong again with a false shot, once the Ming army miscalculates, the consequences are unimaginable, after all, 200,000 Northern Yuan soldiers is not a small number, it will bring a huge threat to the Ming Dynasty.

"King Zhongwu, where do you think the Northern Yuan will attack this time?" Seeing that the ministers in the main hall had objections to the offensive route of the Northern Yuan, the Empress Dowager Zhang asked Li Yuntian, who had been standing there silently, after a deep groan.

The scene suddenly fell silent, Yang Shiqi, Zhang Fu and others looked at Li Yuntian one after another, wanting to know how Li Yuntian viewed this matter, judging from the previous wars, Li Yuntian's pre-war judgment was correct.

Narsha's eyes couldn't help but light up, and sure enough, the Empress Dowager of the Zhang family still chose Li Yuntian at the critical moment, instead of those highly qualified civil and military officials, which shows that Li Yuntian's status in the heart of the Empress Dowager of the Zhang family is really different.

"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, according to the minister's point of view, the Northern Yuan should unite with the Western Chagatai Khanate to attack our Ming Dynasty from the southwest, compared with the Datong region, our army's strength in the southwest is weaker, and the Western Chagatai army can share its pressure against the Ming army, so the minister thinks that the Northern Yuan made this decision after weighing the pros and cons of attacking from the southwest."

Like the civil and military magnates at the scene, Li Yuntian also knew the news of the Northern Yuan invasion, he used the previous time to sort out his thoughts, bowed to the orthodox emperor and the Empress Dowager of the Zhang family, and said in an orderly manner, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, the military situation is urgent, and the minister thinks that he should immediately reorganize his armament and fight to the death with the attacking Western Chagatai and the Northern Yuan enemy army in the southwest!" ”

"Never!" As soon as Li Yuntian's words fell, a shout suddenly came from the hall, which not only made Li Yuntian slightly stunned, but also shocked all the ministers on the scene, and they all looked in the direction where the voice came from.
