Chapter 726: Wokotai and Huo An

"There are only two empires in the world that can consume so many people and gain points, and that is the Han Empire and the Mughal Empire of India. The Mughal Empire in India, it seems, has killed more people in this year's national war. More than a million of their young men were killed in battle, and millions of civilians were killed or wounded. ”

In Central Asia, the Seljuk Empire, Ögedei summoned several important figures such as Yelu Dashi, Batu, Timur, and Wang Baobao to discuss the march to the Great Wan Kingdom, and they noticed the great war that broke out in the South Asian subcontinent.

Temujin was still in dangerous Eastern Europe, trying to seize Attila's power, and Temujin's subordinates turned to Ögedai (the Seljuk Empire) or Tolei (Ilkhanate).

Originally, Wokotai found that he could not defeat the Han Empire, which supported the Western Regions Protectorate, so he changed his goal to attack the Dawan Kingdom and the Kushan Empire that occupied the Dawan Kingdom. However, Ogedai saw an opportunity.

The Seljuk Empire and the Khorezm Kingdom ruled by Ögedei were in the Kazakh hills and the Turan lowlands.

The Dawan Kingdom is located in the Ferghana Basin at the western foot of the Pamir Plateau.

The Kushan Empire was in the northern part of the Indus Plain, and the Indo-Mughal Empire was in the southern part of the Indus Plain.

In this national war, the Mughal Empire of India suffered heavy losses due to the war with the "barbarian" civilization in its own civilization area, killing and wounding millions of soldiers, and its troops are still being consumed.

"This may be a good opportunity to occupy the Mughal Empire in India."

Ogedei's finger moved on the map, to what he saw as an opportunity for the Mughal Empire in India.

Wang Baobao, who was still relatively low-level, was a little surprised: "Our population is only 20 million, the population of the Mughal Empire in India is more than ten times that of ours, and there is also the Kushan Empire in between, how can we conquer the huge empire with less than one-tenth of the population?" ”

"Although the population determines the number of troops available, it also depends on who will be in command. Timur, you quickly broke through the defense line of the Kushan Empire with a cavalry and attacked the capital of the Mughal Empire in India, as a stronghold. Then he drove the servant army and attacked the Kushan Empire and the Dawan Kingdom with Ben Khan in the north and south. Eventually, we approached the entire Mughal region of India and occupied Central Asia and South Asia. ”

"Hiss......"

Timur was struck by the fantastical idea of the Arabian Nights, but when he thought about it, it was not impossible.

Yelu Dashi interjected: "Khan, you may have forgotten that the Protectorate of the Western Regions is still eyeing the east. Once the Western Regions Protectorate intervenes, everything will be very troublesome. Moreover, the remnants of the Seljuk Empire, Arslan, still fought in the north and were never able to capture them alive. ”

"Arslan is as cunning as a fox, but with your help and encirclement and suppression, Arslan's power has weakened and there is nothing to fear. We need to take a long-term view. I will send envoys to negotiate peace with the Protectorate of the Western Regions and interfere with Huo An's judgment. ”

"Timur, you lead 100,000 cavalry across the Khyber Pass in the Hindu Kush Mountains and make a surprise attack on the city of Delhi. With the large army of the Mughal Empire concentrated on the Deccan Plateau and not bordering us, you would not have imagined that your cavalry would directly cross the Kushan Empire and attack Delhi. Wherever you go, you will look at the wind. ”

Ogedai is carrying out an extremely bold assault tactic.

Such a cavalry raid is no longer as simple as a thousand-mile raid, but a feat of crossing one empire and marching thousands of miles to attack the capital of another empire!

If unsuccessful, Timur could be captured in the Mughal Empire in India.

This dangerous task was reluctant to be carried out by Batu and Yelu Dashi, but was handed over to Timur.

Timur listened to Ogedei's ambitious and imaginative plan, and couldn't help but be enthusiastic, such a surprise attack, if successful, he Timur would be enough to leave a name in "Lord".

"Timur will live up to expectations, break through the Kushan Empire, and capture the city of Delhi of the Mughal Empire in India!"

……

The Protectorate of the Western Regions, Ili City, Huo'an received the envoys of the Seljuk Empire in this city.

Because he was worried that Shi Shiwu would be seized by the Western Regions Protectorate, Ogedai did not dare to send a big man to serve as an envoy, but only sent a small person.

Wang Zhongsi, Gao Xianzhi, Wusun Wang, and Xu Fengnian are all in the lobby, Ma Chao's sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his temperament is extraordinary.

Ma Chao glared at the arriving envoy, making the envoy sweat.

Some people, just one look, can make people feel murderous.

"Why did Wokotai send you here?"

Huo An has no good feelings about Wokotai.

The Ögedai Khanate was the first to attack the Western Regions Protectorate, and was destroyed by Huo An's backhand surprise attack.

Wokotai made a feud with Huo An and Xu Fengnian.

It's just that because Temujin attached great importance to Ögedai, he divided the Serju Empire and Khorezm into Ögedai, so that the power of Ögedai increased instead of decreasing.

Now, the Selju Empire and Khorezm in charge of Ogedai are the number one enemy of the Western Regions Protectorate, and Huo An naturally will not give the envoys of Ogedai a good face.

"We, the Khan, hope to sign an armistice treaty with the Protectorate of the Western Regions to bring peace."

"Ogedai would choose a truce? What kind of medicine is sold in his gourd? ”

Huo An tried to see the true intention of Ogedai from the change in the expression of the envoy of Ogedei.

But to Huo An's disappointment, this envoy didn't seem to know the intentions of Wokotai and other high-level officials, and he just came to take charge of the peace talks.

The envoy said: "In the battle that lasted for more than a year, we lost a large number of soldiers and horses on each other, and the people were struggling to survive. I think it's a good thing for you that the Western Regions Protectorate can recuperate for a while. ”

"The Protectorate of the Western Regions can rest and recuperate, and in the same way, you can also recuperate, and when the time comes, the war will be even more tragic."

Huo An was not fooled by the other party's rhetoric.

The Protectorate of the Western Regions does need to rest, but Ogedai also needs time.

The envoy said: "Our khan hopes to bring a temporary peace to the people on both sides, so please do not doubt it. We take the Green Mountains (Pamir Plateau), the Tien Shan Mountains, and the Altai Mountains as the dividing line, and do not attack each other. ”

Huo An pondered for a while and replied, "I understand what Ogedai means, go back and tell him that the Protectorate of the Western Regions is willing to accept peace talks. ”

Huo An's unexpected decision moved Chen Tang, Ma Chao, Xu Fengnian and others present.

The envoys of Wokotai couldn't help but be overjoyed, but they didn't expect that this Liang King of the Han Empire and the protector of the Western Regions, who was against Wokotai everywhere, would readily agree to a truce with the Serzhu Empire.

Maybe Huo An was not willing to fight to the death with Ogedei, who had absorbed a group of Temujin's subordinates.

The population of the Western Regions Protectorate is not as good as that of the Selju Empire and Khorezm.

The envoy of Wokotai thought that Huo An had relented, and went back to his life satisfied.

Chen Tang was the main battle faction and asked, "Why did the lord choose a truce?" ”

"Ögedei wants to confuse us with an armistice, and I promised to confuse him with a truce. Moreover, it is very difficult for our army to cross the steep green ridge and compete with the Wokotai and Kushan Empires for the Great Wan Kingdom. Before the unification of the Han Empire, I had to be careful not to easily involve the Central Plains in a new round of Central Asian war. We must rely on the population of about 10 million in the Western Regions and rely on our own strength to deal with the countries of Central Asia......"

"What is the purpose of the deliberate truce in Ogedai to confuse me? Is the army of our Western Regions Protectorate going to march into the Great Wan Kingdom, or do we sit back and watch the changes? ”

Huo An was thinking about the purpose of Wokotai.

Ogedai is definitely not a person without a purpose, and he will arbitrarily truce with the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

Even Hoan could hardly imagine that Ögedei would consider penetrating the Kushan Empire and attacking the city of Delhi of the Mughal Empire in India, which would be a risk to Timur's life.

When the Mughal Empire of India exploded its own territory, it could have millions of soldiers.

Quality aside, it's just a crowd tactic, and few civilizations can withstand it.

……

In the Xia Palace, Yi Sunsin immediately came from Jeju Island and was summoned by Chutian.

"The last general, Yi Sunsin, pays a visit to King Xia!"

A calm middle-aged military general stood in front of Chu Tian.

Chu Tian looked Li Sunsin up and down, this person is a capable and loyal minister, with a lot of achievements, and the Ming Dynasty generals of the same era have a high evaluation of him, but the Goryeo stick holds his status too high, but it is easy to make people disgusted.

In general, Yi Sunsin is not so godly, but he is also a famous general.

"I heard you have drawings of the Goryeo turtle ship."

Chu Tian had already heard about it.

"Yes!"

Yi Sun-sin presented the drawings of turtle boats characteristic of the Goryeo civilization to Chutian.

Chu Tian could check the details of the turtle ship's drawings: "I didn't expect it to be a seventh-level warship, suitable for defense and offshore. ”
