Chapter 635 Three-way soldiers and horses
"Chu Zimou is finally here."
Several princes finally waited for Chutian.
However, they saw that Ye Katerina came with her, and Chu Tian even came with her son Chu Wu.
If you count carefully, Chu Wu is three or four years old and can basically speak. Chu Tian brought him, mainly to show the world.
The group of people in front of me were either lords with close ties to Chu Tian or powerful enemies.
There is nothing wrong with letting Chu Wu recognize this group of people.
"I'm called Uncle, and this one, who should be a grandfather, so I'll call Uncle Qin."
After it was Lao Qin's turn, Chu Tian asked Chu Wu to directly call him Uncle Qin, which made Lao Qin feel depressed. At any time, he became a grandfather.
The princes of the Han Empire were already very familiar with Catherine, so there was no need to recommend it.
When Sun Jian saw Chu Wu, he couldn't help but think that his daughter Sun Shangxiang was still waiting for him to return safely.
This expedition to Mobei will bring you back alive no matter what.
Unlike the Battle of Mobei, after the opponent changed from Yizhixie Shanyu to Temujin, it was extremely difficult to expedition to Mobei.
"For this expedition, as long as we take down a large city, Ekaterina may be able to send a team of reinforcements to support us. The premise is that the Golden Horde uses the teleportation array to return to the north of the Mo River to support Temujin."
Chu Tian reminded the princes of the Han Empire in advance that the army of the Khanate of the reserve fund was needed to teleport to the north of the Mo.
Otherwise, once the princes of the Han Empire encounter the army of the Jin Horde in Mobei, some princes might be caught off guard.
"There are not many large cities in Mobei, including Hala Helin and Mobei Longcheng. Apart from this, there are no other large cities."
“It’s really uncomfortable…”
Almost all the princes of the Han Empire knew the importance of large cities. They had large cities that could transmit troops and food, while there were only two large cities in the north of the Mo River, all of which were controlled by Temujin, which was quite difficult.
If you want to gain a foothold in Mobei, you must conquer one of the large cities.
The location of Hala and Lin is similar to that of the Battle of Mobei, and the location of Zhao Xincheng, while the location of Mobei Longcheng and Chu Tian set fire to the fire in the Battle of Mobei.
Chu Tian knew the location of these two large cities very well and remembered them very deeply, but Temujin must have hoarded heavy troops to protect the two cities to avoid them being captured by the Han Empire's expeditionary forces, so it is difficult to capture the two cities.
"This time, the troops were divided into three groups to attack. The spies in Monan had basically figured out the route to attack Hala and Lin and the Longcheng of Mobei. The troops attacked Hala and Lin, which was equivalent to Wei Qing's left-hand army in the battle of Mobei; the troops attacked Mobei Longcheng, which was equivalent to Huo Qubing's right-hand army in the battle of Mobei. There was also the Liaodong army in Mingguan, which was attacking Yuerhai, restraining the Liao and Jin countries."
"Old Qin's Guanlong Army (200,000), Bingzhou Army (100,000), and Monan Army (100,000) attacked Halahelin and were the Western Route Army. The troops were about 400,000. The Western Route Army was going to attack the capital of the Mongolian Empire, and it is very likely that the decisive battle with Tiemu really broke out."
"Youzhou Army (100,000), Xuzhou Army (200,000), and Yangzhou Army (100,000) set out from Monan Longcheng to attack Mobei Longcheng, with a total of 400,000 troops. The goal is to seize the teleportation array of Mobei Longcheng, while reducing supply pressure, and forcing Temujin to split the troops. Once the teleportation array of Mobei Longcheng is controlled, we will not have to cross the desert and Gobi for expeditions, and the importance is second only to attacking Hara and Lin."
"The Liaodong Army (200,000) and the Jiaozhou Army (100,000) attacked and hunted Yuerhai from Liaodong, with the goal of restraining the Jin Kingdom and the remnants of the Liao Kingdom. Once the Jin Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom defeated, they would lead their troops to Longcheng, Mobei to join the Central Army."
"The three groups of soldiers, including chariots and auxiliary soldiers, had a total of 1.1 million people, drove away tens of millions of cattle and sheep, and consumed countless food and grass. We paid such a great price to at least occupy a large city in the north of the desert to make a profit."
"As long as you win a large city, you can basically incorporate Mobei into the territory of the empire, and you will no longer have to face threats from Mobei."
The lord Prince Yan was active in the south of the desert for a long time, and had been thinking about the expedition to the north of the desert, and had formulated a strategy to attack the north of the desert.
There are only two large cities in the entire Mobei region, which increases the difficulty of attacking Mobei region and increases the cost of domination.
This more expensive expedition must destroy the Mongol Empire and incorporate the northern desert into the territory of the Han Empire.
Mobei should have been part of the Han Empire.
"After the expedition begins, what do you plan to deal with the Tuoba Xianbei? I can't guarantee whether the Tuoba Xianbei will do nothing during the expedition."
Chu Tian took this opportunity to put pressure on Lao Qin.
Lao Qin disagreed: "Half of your Bingzhou army remains in Hetao, and there are 200,000 Jizhou army that can be used, so there should be no need to worry about the threat of the Tuoba Xianbei. In addition, I will send someone to monitor the Tuoba Xianbei. If they dare to act rashly during this period, they will erase it."
"It is also a disaster to keep the Tuoba Xianbei. Don't raise a tiger to cause trouble."
Chu Tian knew that Lao Qin protected the Tuoba Xianbei, mostly to deal with him.
But the Xianbei tribe was ungrateful and did not care about kindness. Chu Tian was worried about raising a tiger.
"I am more worried about the two forces of the Liao and Jin. From the clues discovered by spies in Mobei, it can be seen that Temujin had close contacts with Yelu Abaoji and Wanyan Aguda during this period."
"Do you think they will join forces?"
"Ninety-nine, it depends on whether Mingguan and Wang Defa can defeat the Jin and Liao coalition."
The princes agreed on the time to march and supervised each other.
If three groups advance side by side, they are easily defeated one by one. It depends on how the three groups of soldiers cooperate.
If the progress of the three troops is similar, then Temujin attacks the other troops will mean losing in the other two.
"This time, we only allow victory, not defeat, otherwise our expedition will fail and we will go on another expedition, and we will not know when it will be."
A group of princes mentioned the expedition to the north of the desert, and all of them were serious.
This time they went to fight Temujin with the decisive battle, and the goal was not to rescue the siege, but to completely destroy the Mongol Empire and recover the northern desert.
The Han Empire planned to expedition to the north of the desert and agreed to send troops with other civilizations, which caused a sensation in all civilization areas for a time.
Just one year after the national war, the Han Empire had planned to join forces with other Asian civilizations to destroy the Mongol Empire and the four major Khanate countries, and also defeated or destroyed several small civilizations!
"Last time Temujin hurt us, and this time the Han Empire went to attack Temujin, and we should send troops to delay the Ilikhanate."
The Persian Empire lord Ardashir learned that the Han Empire had entered the final preparation stage and according to the agreement, he restrained the Ily Khanate for the Han Empire.
Although the battle between the Persian Empire and the Ily Khanate broke out early in the cold winter, the Persian Empire could still send 100,000 troops to hold the Ily Khanate.
The Persian Empire was worried that Temujin would appear in the battlefield in West Asia again, so it supported the Han Empire to defeat Temujin.
Ekaterina lived in Xiacheng for a short time, then returned to St. Petersburg, commanded the coalition forces of the Grand Duchy of Moscow and restrained the main force of the Golden Horde.
Once the main force of the Golden Horde returns to the northern part of the Mohist Kingdom to support it, then after the Han army occupied the teleportation array, her army can also reach the northern part of the Mohist Kingdom, join forces with the Han army to annihilate the main force of the Golden Horde.
Adjutant Sofia found that Ekaterina's face was much more moist after she had been living in Xiacheng for a while.
Xiacheng and Chu Tian are making final preparations, and he wants to consider the candidates for the expedition to Mobei.
Some generals were unable to go to war, and Joan of Arc was still pregnant.
It is said that the French knew that Joan of Arc was actually defiled by Chu Tian, so they expelled Joan of Arc's nationality.
“You can’t participate in the expedition either.”
Chu Tian forced himself to leave the cool summer that was eager to try.
The reason is that Xia Tianliang's physique is too weak, similar to Rufu Emperor.
If it was Mulan, and Katerina, a military general who could force Chu Tian to hand over the food, Chu Tian could take it to the expedition with confidence.
But when crossing the Tianshan Mountains, the summer was almost cold, and Chu Tian dared not take any risks.
"After you capture Longcheng in Mobei, you will serve as reinforcements. At the same time, monitor the movements of the Tuoba Xianbei."
Chu Tian left one person to guard the family.
This is the second expedition in the main world, with the difficulty of hell.
In the north of Mo, the enemy is strong, the terrain is harsh, and there is a lack of supplies. The combat intensity is higher than that of the Expedition Luntai and Yili.
In Luntai and Yili, Huoan was a local tyrant, and there was also the Wusun Kingdom, who was good at acting.
Mobei is completely a territory where Temujin has been operating for many years, and the local tribes are hostile to the Han Empire.
"snort……"
Although Xia Tianliang wanted to protest, he thought that if he participated in the expedition together, it would become a burden, and it would not be worth the loss.
"Li Xiuning, you follow your lord, can't let him bring back any Mongolian princess..."
Xia Tianliang was upset recently because Katerina came to live for a while and didn't want to have another harem that stood in a different camp with her. At that time, the harem would probably be in chaos again.
Li Xiuning nodded.
This time, the Detachment of Women can follow him to Mobei.
"How could I bring back any Mongolian princess... If I capture the Mongolian princess, I will give it all to Cao Mengde."
In order to ensure that he would not bring back a strong woman, Chu Tian decided to let Cao Cao take the blame.
Besides, the Mongol Empire was in power, and there shouldn't be any powerful female generals.
"One word is determined."
The summer is cool and the weather is blooming this time.
Mulan, Joan of Arc, and Princess Roufu have also been with Chu Tian for a short time recently because of Caterina. They are depressed by this. I heard that Chu Tian decided to refresh himself, so I support Xia Tianliang and reject other new harems.
After appeaseing the girls, Chu Tian remembered that he still had a recruitment order obtained by destroying the Chagatai Khanate, which could recruit military generals or civil officials at the king level or above.
The cooling time of this recruitment order is three months, and the three-month period has been met at this time, so Chu Tian used this recruitment order without hesitation.
Chapter completed!
