Chapter 861: The Ambition of the Second Mongol Great Khan (Normal Update)
"Lao Qin really died of illness......"
Chu Tian received the exact news that the great prince of Guanzhong, who had been in Guanzhong for many years, was still defeated by the Mandate of Heaven.
Chu Tian made people confirm repeatedly, and the news they got was the same.
The old Qin died of illness, and Lü Bu controlled Xianyang and Chang'an and took over the throne of Qin.
Regarding Lu Bu taking over Lao Qin's position, Chu Tian was not only not afraid, but thought it didn't matter.
As a monarch, not to mention that the people's hearts are undecided, Lu Bu's ability is also questionable, and he basically relies on the advice of others.
"Destiny is such a thing, it's really hard to say."
Sun Bin couldn't count a person's birth, old age, sickness and death, and couldn't help but sigh.
As soon as Lao Qin died, the layout of the strategy level changed again.
"Wang Lang, now you should know that if you go to lobby the military generals in Guanzhong this time, there is a chance that you will gain something."
Chu Tian said to Wang Lang.
Wang Lang already knew that the most influential King of Qin in Guanzhong had died of illness, and as Chu Tian said, the people in Guanzhong were panicked, and there would definitely be a group of people willing to secretly collude with Chu Tian's forces.
Therefore, Wang Lang's task of undertaking lobbying is simply a credit given to him by Chu Tian.
"The minister must persuade the generals of Guanzhong to surrender with a three-inch tongue!"
Wang Lang was satisfied and immediately went to lobby.
The name of the old Qin disappeared from the lord rankings, and almost all players in the Eastern Han District noticed it, and there was an uproar.
Lao Qin used to be the second largest prince of the Han Empire, and he was also regarded as more than 10,000 people under one person, pacifying Guanzhong and Xiliang, and Guanzhong was restored to prosperity because of Lao Qin's management, and Lao Qin was also a great favor to the civilians of Qinchuan.
The situation of the Great War in the north has been quite clear, and it is only a matter of time before the Xia army pacifies the north, and there is basically no suspense.
Time was running out for the southern princes.
Wu Wang Tongque led the sailors to besiege Xiangyang and attack Fancheng.
The Wu army was prosperous, and the limelight was close to the Qin army and the Ming army in the northern war.
The sailor of the bronze sparrow is invincible.
The mastermind Chen Ping followed the bronze sparrow.
Tongque swept Jingzhou, in addition to Xie Xuan's Beifu Army, Xiao Moke's Southern Dynasty Army, Zhou Yu's Sailor Army, and Sun Jian's Jiangdong Army, the mastermind Chen Ping strategized and encroached on Jingzhou step by step.
"Jingzhou is really difficult to capture, it took me many years, first take Xiakou, and then take Jingnan, and it was not easy to besiege Xiangyang. It took twelve years for the land of two states. ”
Standing on the bow of the warship, Tongque couldn't help but sigh at the vastness of the Han Empire.
The unification of the Han Empire is not so simple, if you encounter an opponent of equal strength, or if the opponent is slightly weaker, but not much weaker, there are many checks and balances, at this time, the competition is protracted.
From 203 to 208 AD, almost five years, Sun Quan attacked Jiangxia County three times, and finally killed Huang Zu and annexed most of Jiangxia County.
After another 10 years, Sun Quan won most of Jingzhou by backstabbing Shu Han.
The three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu stood together, fighting for decades, no one could help anyone, and the war lasted for decades.
The turbulent times of the Northern and Southern Dynasties lasted for hundreds of years.
It is not easy for the various princes in "Lord" to annex each other, not to mention that there are other civilizations, and the competition is even more complicated.
The Han Empire is too big, and it is quite rare that it can be unified in one or two generations.
"Fortunately, there is a teleportation array, and there is a waterway of the Yangtze River, otherwise, it would have taken time......"
Tongque looks at the majestic Xiangyang City, which is a huge city, and it is not easy to capture Xiangyang City.
"Sun Jian's attack on Hefei was unfavorable, and he lost his troops and generals, but he didn't expect to attack Jiangling, but he was like a bamboo, and the villages and small cities around Jiangling City were all taken. The capture of Gangneung is just around the corner. ”
The bronze sparrow also learned an important piece of news.
Sun Jian's attack on Hefei was very passive, and he seemed to be reluctant to engage the Xia army.
Tongque transferred Sun Jian to attack Jiangling, and Sun Jian worked extra hard, leading Sun Ce, Zhou Tai, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Song Jiang and other generals to beat the Jiangling defenders.
As a guard, Xiao Moke came to report to Tongque: "My lord, there is a person in Xiangyang City who claims to be Xu Yuanzhi, representing the King of Song, and has come to negotiate with us. ”
"Xu Yuanzhi?"
Tongque thought about it, isn't this Xu Shu?
There are many outstanding civil and military generals in the Three Kingdoms, and Xu Shu is a strategist-type talent who has been working for the King of Song.
The soldier dies for his confidant, and many NPCs believe in a different moral standard than the player.
"Let him come to me."
Tongque finally agreed to meet Xu Shu.
Xu Shu's expression is not very good-looking.
Although Xu Shu is also a famous strategist, the mastermind of Tongque is Chen Ping, the second strategist of Chu and Han during the struggle for hegemony, second only to Zhang Liang.
The Wu army suppressed the Song army, and Xu Shu could not change the result with the strength of one person.
Xu Shu said: "King Song wants to talk to King Wu in the river, and if he fights like this, it's just a fish dead net." ”
"What are the conditions of King Song?"
"Song Wang ......"
Tongque listened to Xu Shu's conditions, thought for a long time, and bargained with Xu Shu.
……
In South Asia, Peshawar, the royal city of the Kushan Empire, was besieged by the Mongol and Turkic cavalry of Ögedai for three months.
The King of Kushan repeatedly asked the Protectorate of the Western Regions for reinforcements, but the Protectorate of the Western Regions was unable to do anything.
With a population of only 10 million, the Protectorate of the Western Regions is not omnipotent.
The situation in the Kushan Empire has been eroded, and the Protectorate of the Western Regions is unwilling to consume its few new forces for the sake of other civilizations.
Many nobles of the Kushan Empire have already pledged allegiance to Ogedei, which is a bottomless pit, and the Western Regions Protectorate will only be continuously consumed in the Kushan Empire.
The Kushan King had no choice but to lead his guards out of the siege and went into exile.
"Ordered the King of Kushan to be captured alive, tied to a horsetail, and paraded through the streets."
Ogedai led the cavalry into Peshawar, and the style of this city was different from that of other civilizations.
"The Kushan Empire has a large population, and it is completely an important source of military strength and tax revenue, and it is really ironic that the Kushan King will fail with such a large population."
Yelu Dashi and Mahmud, Batu, Subutai, Wuliang Hetai, Wang Baobao and other generals entered the city and found that Peshawar had a population of one million, as if it were a giant city.
Each of these people can compete with the King of Kushan, but the King of Kushan does not have many generals worthy of reuse, and he is defeated by Ogedai with few victories, and flees in embarrassment, and the Mongol and Turkic coalition forces have taken control of this great empire.
With tens of millions of people, together with the Turks, Turkmens, and Persians of the Seljuk Empire, the Khorezm Kingdom, and the Ilkhanate, the Mongol and Turkic armies became no less formidable than the Mongol Empire of Temujin.
"It has been a long time since the lords of various civilizations have experienced the terror of the sabre from the steppe, and we need to make all civilizations submit to our sabers, the sabers of our Mongol cavalry, and the sabers of the Turkic cavalry......"
After completing the conquest of the Kushan Empire, Ogedai said to Meng Ke, the son of Tulei: "Tulei sent troops to help me attack the Kushan Empire, then I will divide my troops to help Tulei conquer Persia." Was Persia easy to capture? ”
Möngke replied: "Persia is an ancient civilization with a profound heritage, and it will take a lot of effort to destroy it." ”
"Well, I will recruit a million soldiers from the Kushan Empire to attack Persia. The population of the Kushan Empire, plus our generals, swept through Persia. ”
At this time, Ogedei's confidence soared, and the ancient Persian civilization was not in his eyes.
The only thing that deserves the attention of Wokotai is estimated to be the Han Empire.
"The undead army of Persia, the Holy Cavalry, is quite difficult, and my father has repeatedly crusaded against Persia, but it is difficult to conquer it. The Kushan Legion is not a rival to the Persian Legion. ”
Möngke did not underestimate the lords of the Persian Empire, who had already recruited many Persian generals.
The Persian Empire in "Lords" was supposed to be a powerful empire, after all, the Persian civilization was once a wide ancestral area, and there were many special classes and legendary heroes.
However, the geographical location of the Persian civilization is really not very good.
The Persian Empire was surrounded by the Arab Empire, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and the Ilkhanate, none of which were good.
The Ilkhanate's Tuolei, Hülegü, Meng Ge, Kublai Khan, Guo Kan and others are all ruthless characters.
The Arab Empire launched great conquests, clashed with the Tang Empire in the east, and invaded Europe in the west, and was also a powerful civilization.
At the height of the Ottoman Empire, North Africa was its colony, and the whole of Europe was shrouded in the shadow of the Ottoman Empire for two hundred years.
Therefore, the territory of the Persian Empire has hardly changed in "Lords", but because of the arrival of the Ilkhanate, part of the territory has become the sphere of influence of the Ilkhanate.
The Persian civilization was relatively unlucky.
Now, Ögedei wanted to allow Tuolei to completely conquer Persian civilization and integrate it into the territory of the nascent Mongol Empire.
Because Ögedei believed that even the nascent Mongol Empire would not be able to defeat the Han Empire.
So he needs a bigger territory, a bigger population.
With territory and population, more troops can be recruited, and with more troops, more territory and population can be conquered.
The Mongol Empire was born for conquest.
Möngke added: "My father believed that before destroying Persia, we should be the first to conquer the Mughal Empire in India. The Mughal Empire of India, which had a much larger population than the Kushan Empire. My grandfather was defeated by the Han Empire because the population was too small. ”
"The Mughal Empire of India? Timur had already captured their royal city of Delhi. ”
"Was Timur loyal?"
"This man is ambitious, but he is also capable. But anyone who has the ability can use it, and only in this way can the princes of the Han Empire be defeated. ”
Wokotai asked Meng Ge this question, and he answered it all.
He naturally knew that Timur was not so easy to control, but the Han Empire had left a psychological shadow on Ögedei.
Therefore, Ogedai accepted many ambitious generals and heroes in order to avoid repeating Temujin's defeat when he re-competed with the princes of the Han Empire in the future.
Speaking of which, Ben Khan had summoned Timur to Peshawar. If Timur did not dare to come to see Ben Khan, it means that he has antipathy. Ben Khan will send someone to kill him. ”
Ögedei mentions Timur.
