Chapter 1035: Hongmen Night Banquet (Third Update)
In the evening, the Great Khan of Monte held a banquet in the palace for Li Yuntian to wash the dust, and the senior generals of the Western Expeditionary Army and the high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate all participated.
Due to today's hearty victory, the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan army were beaten under the attack of the cavalry of the Guanxi battalion of the Xiaowu Army and the defenders outside the city, and fled in the desert, so the atmosphere of the dinner was very warm.
Naturally, it is Li Yuntian who people talk about the most, who would have thought that the dignified King Zhongwu would risk his life and personally lead the army to come and lose Bali City?
Li Yuntian's arrival made the morale of the soldiers and civilians in Beishi Bali City rise in an instant, they didn't know the current situation in the Western Regions, and thought that Li Yuntian led the Ming army to fight, and they didn't know at all that Li Yuntian was just leading 10,000 cavalry to meet the Monte Great Khan and others in Beishi Bali City.
In any case, the city was enveloped in a celebratory atmosphere tonight, and the joy of the aftermath of the catastrophe was beyond the reach of ordinary people, and the people in the city were almost robbed and killed by the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan soldiers.
"The Great Khan, the Ming Zhongwu King has arrived!" Just when everyone was sitting at the wine table and talking about Li Yuntian and Xiaowujun with great interest, a loud voice sounded, and Li Yuntian and Monte Khan walked into the banquet hall side by side, talking and laughing with each other, and it seemed that they were getting along well.
"I've seen the Great Khan and the Prince!" Seeing this, the people at the scene got up and bowed to Li Yuntian and Monte Khan.
After Li Yuntian and Monte Khan sat side by side in the top seats, the musicians immediately played dance music with a strong Western Regions style, and the atmosphere gradually became hot as the dancers danced the enthusiastic and cheerful Western Regions dance.
Looking at the princes and ministers of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, who were staggered and chatting and laughing, the corners of Li Yuntian's mouth showed a helpless wry smile, it was obvious that these civil and military magnates thought that he was specially here to reinforce Beishu Bali City this time, but they didn't know that his purpose was to receive the evacuation of Monte Khan and others.
As for how many troops Li Yuntian brought to Don't lose Bali City this time, I'm afraid that no one in the Eastern Chagatai Khanate except for the Great Khan of Monte knows about it, firstly, to keep it secret, so as not to leak the news to the enemy army, and secondly, to stabilize the hearts of the people in Belose Bali City and lay a good foundation for what Li Yuntian will do next.
Obviously, in the eyes of the soldiers and civilians of Beshi Bali City, since Li Yuntian is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, he must have brought a lot of soldiers and horses this time, and they no longer have to be afraid of the hateful Timurid Empire and the army of the Northern Yuan.
"Look, it's Princess Narsa!"
Just when the people's drinking spirits were getting higher and higher, with a light song, a woman wearing a veil and a graceful figure came to the center of the stage surrounded by a group of dancing girls.
Narsa's dancing skills are the best in the Western Regions, especially the high-ranking officials and dignitaries of Don't Lose Bali City are even more obsessed with her beautiful materials, but since the return of the Ming Dynasty, Narsa, who has been the concubine of the Ming Dynasty's loyal martial arts, no longer performs on stage, which has become a regret in the hearts of people who want to appreciate her beautiful figure again.
Tonight, in order to cheer everyone up, Narsa danced again in the mountains, still wearing a veil on her face.
It is worth mentioning that at this time, Narsa's intention to wear the veil is different from before, because she is already married, so this time wearing the veil has the meaning of hiding her identity, no matter how she is now the concubine of the Zhongwu Palace, it is not suitable to show her head in public.
Narsa's enthusiastic dance of the Western Regions pushed the warm atmosphere of the scene to the top, causing everyone present to applaud one after another, if it weren't for the fear of Monte Khan and Li Yuntian, I am afraid that someone would have taken advantage of the strength of the wine to dance with Narsa.
After the dance, Narsa did not leave, but bowed to the Great Khan of Monte and then stepped forward and sat down beside Li Yuntian, pouring Li Yuntian wine.
"Come on, bring them up." After two more dances, Monte Khan glanced at Li Yuntian, Li Yuntian bowed slightly, so he quietly said to a general standing beside him.
"Bring those rebels up." The general bowed to the Great Khan of Monte and shouted at the guards in the distance.
Hearing this, the ministers of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, who were talking and laughing, fell silent one after another, and looked in the direction of the general's shouting.
Although Bai An and other generals of the Western Expeditionary Army and the Xiaowu Army could not understand the words of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, they immediately understood that something was happening, so they also put down their wine glasses one after another and looked at it.
Under the gaze of the people, the high-ranking officials and magnates of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, led by Gulrusa, who had attempted to rebel, were escorted up and knelt down in front of the Great Khan of Monte.
Especially Gurlusa, who was kneeling at the front, had a very complicated look on his face, and when he knelt down, he deliberately glanced at Li Yuntian, he was very surprised that the Zhongwu King of the Ming Dynasty would come to the Bali City in person, and he didn't expect that this famous prince in the Ming Dynasty would be so young.
At this moment, Gurlusa and the others already knew that the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan coalition army besieging the city under the siege of the cavalry of the Guanxi battalion of the Xiaowu Army and the defenders in the city were defeated and fled, and they all felt remorseful in their hearts, God knows that Daming really sent reinforcements, and it was led by the only prince of the opposite sex in Daming, which is incredible.
"Are you guilty?" After glancing at Gurlusa and the others kneeling in front of him, Monte Khan asked in a deep voice with an expressionless face, Li Yuntian's arrival undoubtedly proved that Gurlusa was wrong, and also confirmed their treason.
"The ministers are guilty, and there is no argument!" Hearing this, Gurrusa's face suddenly turned blue and white, and he knelt on the ground and replied loudly, when he learned that the Ming reinforcements had arrived, he knew that he had made a mistake this time, ignoring the huge power of the huge Eastern Empire of the Ming Dynasty.
If the Eastern Chagatai Khanate had lost more than 400,000 troops, it would have surrendered long ago, but the Ming Dynasty was able to send reinforcements in a short period of time, which is enough to show that the Ming Dynasty was terrible.
Since Monte Khan already had conclusive evidence of the rebellion of Gurlusa and others, and the Ming reinforcements arrived in time, Gurrusha had no excuse to defend himself.
"Great Khan, we were coerced by the thief Gullusa, please be merciful and spare my life."
"Great Khan, the lower officials are forced to be helpless, please check the Great Khan."
"Great Khan, Gullusa colluded with the enemy army, and the lower officials were deceived by him, asking the Great Khan for mercy."
……
Unlike Gullusa, those high-ranking officials and magnates kneeling behind him have opened their mouths to beg for mercy from Monte Khan, and some even put the blame on Gurrusa, since these people are greedy for life and afraid of death, they certainly do not want to be punished by Monte Khan, it is obvious that treason in any country will be the death penalty, so they desperately shirk the blame.
Hearing this, a mocking smile flashed on the corner of Rusa's mouth, and he ignored the slander of the high-ranking officials and dignitaries involved in the case, believing that Monte Khan would not be deceived by their prevarication.
"General Gurrusha, this king heard that you are the first military general of the Khanate, and you have not lost a single defeat in the field for many years, this king wants to ask you, how do you view the current situation?" Just as the officials involved in the case were begging for mercy, Li Yuntian, who was sitting there, drank all the wine in the wine glass in his hand, and then asked Gurlusa quietly.
Gurlusa was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Li Yuntian with a stunned expression, never expecting that this loyal warrior king of the Ming Dynasty would actually speak the words of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and he said it so authentically, which was completely beyond his expectations.
"Now that the prince has personally led a large army, the enemy army is bound to be driven out of the khanate." Then, Gurlusa pondered for a while and replied, in his opinion, the Ming army had defeated the Northern Yuan army in the Turpan region at this time, otherwise how could he come to Beshi Bali City.
"General Gurlusa, if this king tells you that this king has only come with 10,000 cavalry, and that the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty are being assembled and have not yet arrived in the Guanxi of the Ming Dynasty, how would you feel?" Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he heard this, raised his voice and asked.
"What...... What the? Gurusa's body suddenly stiffened when he heard this, his face was full of stunned looks, and he didn't react to Li Yuntian's meaning for a while.
The civil and military officials of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate at the scene also looked at each other, looking extremely surprised, and it was not clear why Li Yuntian said this.
"This king tells you the truth, my Ming Emperor His Majesty has issued an edict, will mobilize a million troops from all over the country to come to Guanxi to participate in the war, because of the vast territory of the Ming Dynasty, it will take more than half a year for these troops to be assembled, before that, we can only rely on more than 200,000 soldiers in Guanxi to deal with the enemy, and keep it out of Jiayu Pass."
Li Yuntian knew that Guerlusa couldn't believe that he had only brought more than 10,000 cavalry, so he said in an orderly voice, "In this king's opinion, as long as the enemy army can be blocked at Jiayuguan this year, then when the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty arrive, they will launch a sharp counterattack against the enemy army in the next year, and the enemy army will definitely be defeated at that time." ”
"Wang ...... Lord, are you saying that you only brought more than 10,000 cavalry this time? Gurlusa finally came back to his senses, and looked at Li Yuntian with a shocked face, this Ming Zhongwu King is really too bold, if he is replaced, he will never dare to go deep alone, once intercepted by the Northern Yuan army in the Turpan area, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Ten thousand!" Hearing this, the civil and military officials of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate at the scene were in a commotion, and their faces showed shocked looks, which was very different from what they had expected before, who would have thought that Li Yuntian, who was the prince of the Ming Dynasty, would only bring 10,000 people to rescue Beishi Bali City.
"There are many noble soldiers, and in the eyes of this king, 10,000 people are enough to gallop in the Western Regions!" Seeing this, Li Yuntian smiled slightly, and replied to Guerlusa quietly, his words were full of confidence and arrogance, completely treating the 300,000 troops of the Northern Yuan in the Turpan area as nothing!
Hearing this, a happy smile suddenly flashed at the corner of Narsha's mouth, this kind of domineering rhetoric is probably only Li Yuntian dares to say, you must know that now both the army of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and the Western Expeditionary Army of the Ming Dynasty have suffered great losses in the Western Regions, and no one dares to despise the Northern Yuan army in the Turpan region, and there is also the army of the pursuing Timurid Empire, the situation can be described as extremely dangerous.
