Chapter 43 Xanadu, Strategy, Balhu(1/2)
It was already two hours later that Jia Hui came out of Yun Yu's handsome tent.
It’s nothing big, I just took a test and gave myself a bunch of military books to go back and read. Then I answered some questions I didn’t understand and then drove me away.
The entire Shangdu has become a large military camp. After the Mongol Khan was driven away, Shangdu became lively again.
200,000 sergeants, immigrants along the way, merchants accompanying the army, and military prostitutes following along...
A subtle prosperity has formed on this grassland.
This is actually the border of Daqi, a bridgehead for Daqi to sweep the grasslands, and a transfer station for supplies.
We ate something casually at the mutton shop run by the garrison soldiers, and then strolled all the way back to the Ma Army garrison.
Lift out your own horse and start daily maintenance.
From then on, the terms of the peace talks became clear, and the Monan Royal Court was determined to have a chance encounter with Daqi.
It has already experienced a major split, and the power of the royal court is not as strong as before. If we continue to sit back and watch the Khalkha rebel and break away, let alone how to deal with the threats from the three surrounding parties, even our own people will think about whether it is time to stand on their own.
p>
Khalkha, the royal court must defeat him, even if he is attacked from both sides.
By the way, the emperor has ruined Da Qi’s reputation outside the country, and he didn’t even bother to talk about it.
"Dusi, I haven't taken it back at night." A messenger came from outside to report.
"Very good, let them go and rest quickly. Just leave one person to report to me." Jia Hui put down the horse, stood up and walked out.
After defeating Nonohe, Mantulu suddenly became the first general of the Khan Court. Now, he has joined forces with the Horqin tribe to force the Tuxietu tribe to move north, and has cooperated with the Chechen tribe, the Buryat tribe and the Tuxie tribe.
Xie Tubu stood in confrontation.
To the west, the Yongxiebu tribe and the Asut tribe are confronting the Saiyinnuoyan tribe and the Zasaktu tribe in Mobei.
Therefore, the four major tribes confronting Mobei are not of concern for the time being. The first thing that must be resolved is that the coalition forces of Chahar, Tumote, Ordos and some surrounding small tribes are the opponents of the Qi army in this battle.
"So, the enemy has approximately 150,000 people?" Jia Hui looked through the information collected by Ye Bu.
"Back to the general, Bilige Khan has gone ruthless this time and recruited nearly a million troops in Monan. You also know that these Mongol people can be a good cavalry if you give them a sword. So,
150,000 is still a relatively conservative number. If you include those who are not old enough, it may exceed 200,000. Even when necessary, the women in the tribe will participate in the war, so it will be even more!"
Answers will not be accepted all night.
"A total of three Chahar movies?"
"There are about 80,000 Chahar troops confronting Khalkha on the east and west sides."
Jia Hui touched his chin.
"I know, I'll give you a moment and come with me to the commander-in-chief's place." Jia Hui stood up.
"Don't delay, this is the duty of humble duty!"
"Okay, I understand, you can go down and rest first!" Yun Yu read the information and said to Ye Bushou.
"Yes." Ye Buzuan turned around and left. After going out, he helped close the door thoughtfully.
"What do you think?" Yun Yu asked.
Jia Hui thought for a while.
"The west is too far, and our army cannot take care of it this time. Therefore, the main opponents this time are the Wangting coalition forces in the east and the Barhu and Horqin tribes in the back."
"Well, continue." Yun Yu nodded and signaled Jia Hui to continue.
"The nomads are different from us Daqi. Their army is relatively free. When necessary, anyone who can ride a horse and wield a sword can be regarded as a soldier.
But this is also one of their disadvantages. Since they are a patchwork army, they cannot match ours in terms of coordination. What's more, there are also grudges between their tribes.
Rather than saying that they are Mongol people, it is better to say that they are a large alliance of nomadic tribes composed of Chahar people, Horqin people or Barhu people. For them, the tribe is where they belong and their true roots.
.As for the Khan Court, that’s all.
If the Khan Court is strong and it can bring benefits to them, they will naturally be closely surrounded by the Mongol people. But if the Khan Court is weak, then they will be the Ordos or the Tumuts."
Gee, this guy has something.
Yun Yu took a sip of tea and continued to ask.
"So what exactly are you going to do?"
"No matter how many ways he comes, I will only go all the way, gather all the cavalry troops, and chase Chahar!"
"What about the other tribes?"
"Now they are gathering together. As long as these hundreds of thousands of regular soldiers are defeated and the Khan Court is eliminated, the rest will be old and weak. It is up to you to drive them away. After all, this Northern Expedition is mainly about weakening
Well.
These tribes in the west cannot suffer too much loss. If Oirat is allowed to take advantage of the situation to advance eastward, these tribes will surrender to the enemy due to heavy losses, and instead allow Oirat to grow stronger. Then this battle will be in vain."
"The idea is OK, but what about Khalkha?"
"As I said before, the west has to resist the Oirat. All we need to do is cripple the tribes in the east."
Although the Western Region and the Plateau have been captured, the Junggar tribe in the north is fighting fiercely with the Rakshasa people. According to the caravan from the west, Torgut has also been beaten, and the war has entered a fever pitch. Waiting for the war
After the end, no matter who the winner is, their eyes will be fixed on the pasture of their ancestors again.
Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the Mongol tribes in the west still have the ability to protect themselves after being weakened, and become a buffer zone and isolation zone between the spheres of influence of Oirat and Daqi.
If the tribes in the west are too weak and are invaded by the winner into the grassland, the weakened Monan tribes will definitely not be able to defeat them. Then they may appear anywhere on the nine sides, doubling the defensive pressure on the north of Daqi.
p>
In order to prevent the front from being too long and to limit future wars to the Western Region, the tribes in the west must have a certain strength.
"Why? Why do you value Oirat so much?" Yun Yu was puzzled.
"When I was in the Western Regions, I fought against them. They were very strong, at least stronger than the Timurids and the Kushotes. It would have been better if the Junggars had won. After all, I already knew their approximate strength, but
If they lose, the winner will not be weaker than him."

The most important thing is the name Junggar. In the previous life, Junggar started in the late Ming Dynasty, reached its peak during the Yongzheng period, and fought with the Qing Dynasty for nearly a hundred years to achieve the final glory of the Mongol people.
"Okay, since you have made a decision in your mind, let's make arrangements!"
After Yun Yu finished speaking, he drove Jia Hui away.
The two purposes of this Northern Expedition are to complete the basic strategy, weaken Monan's strength, and achieve a balance between Monan and Mobei. As long as this strategic goal is achieved, it can be used freely.
Another purpose is to select talents for the country. With the decline of old commanders, Daqi urgently needs a new generation of commanders. So far, it seems that Jia Hui has done a good job.
The rest of the armies were a bit worse. During the Western Expedition that ended last year, the border towns also took turns to exchange their preferred talents. Under the overall control of the commander, they could command local wars, but they were completely
It is beyond their ability to complete a war all by themselves. Fortunately, the Qi frontier troops receive full pay all year round, and their combat effectiveness is overwhelming, so they do not suffer much losses.
It can be said that a major focus of this Northern Expedition is to cultivate Jia Hui's ability to lead the army. With the tyrannical Qi army and Yun Yu's support, Jia Hui only needs to do his best to command the battle.
In the next few days, Yun Yu completely delegated power to Jia Hui, ranging from the mobilization of personnel and the distribution of materials to the small work of everyone, eating king's meals. The huge workload tortured Jia Hui with pain and happiness.
"Mandu Luhuntaiji, the Great Khan's will!" Qixue, who was sent by Bilige Khan to convey the order, finally arrived at the headquarters of Barhu.
Although there were some twists and turns in the change of dynasty, Mandulu finally defeated Nuonuohe. The various tribes of the Barhu tribe fulfilled their commitments and assigned some tribes to Mandulu. Together with Mandulu's old tribe, they formed the
The new Balhu headquarters.
"Your Majesty Mandulu respectfully listens to the imperial edict of Bilige Khan!" Mandulu took the lead and led the generals in the tent to kneel down to welcome the imperial edict of the Great Khan.
Qie Xue saw everyone kneeling down and quickly opened the imperial edict and read:
"In the power of immortality, in the protection of the great gospel, in the emperor's imperial edict, every foundation of Barhu Hutaiji Mantulu and officers, and every foundation of soldiers.
The imperial edict announced:
Emperor Genghis
Emperor Xue Chan
……
According to the imperial edict of Emperor Bilig, Mandu Luhuntaiji, together with the officers and soldiers, came to Xilinhotli within ten days.
The imperial edict is mine."
After reading it, Qixue respectfully handed over Bilig Khan's will to Mandulu who stood up.
"May I ask Huetaiji, when will you set off?" Qianxue asked, bending down.
Mandulu led two large armies to defeat the three major coalition forces of Khalkha, and forced the three armies to flee Yuerhai. Under the deliberate propaganda of the Khan Court, the story has spread throughout Monan, and the evildoers became the Khan Court.
First of all, Battle and Qixue naturally admired Mantulu.
"Pack up your things and set off tomorrow. I just have a question, and I hope the Khan will answer it." Mantulu was a little confused. The situation was obviously in our favor. After ten days and a half, the three major departments were ready.
It's almost time to surrender.
"I will tell you everything I know, and I will tell you everything!"
"Haha, don't be nervous, Khan. I have only one question. Why did the Great Khan send my Barhu troops to go south? Does Horqin also want to go south? After apparently holding on for a while, the rebels in Khalkha are about to surrender?" Man Man
