Mongolian and Yuan Dynasty.
The sun is cold and the wind is biting.
There are many officials coming and going, making the Keton Palace more lively than any other yamen. In a house in the back house. Haida and her younger brother Jin Yuanrui were sitting together drinking tea.
But neither brother paid attention to the tea.
"Brother Wang. Although we sent cavalry to harass the Han army's food road, the effect was almost zero. Yunjing also encountered Wu Min and lost two battles."
"There is no way to stop the Han army's cement road."
"Otherwise, let's ask the Slavs for help. As long as the Slavs assist us with fifty thousand people, we can wipe out the Han army."
Jin Yuanrui looked defeated and sighed.
He was originally a hardliner, but as time passed, he became more and more aware of the strength of the Han army.
"Hey." Heda sighed, stood up and said, "I'm hesitant too. But if the Slavs come in, they won't go out again."
"A rat has entered the granary, why don't you let it go?"
"We'll probably become puppets."
"Are you giving up the inheritance of your ancestors?"
"Besides. Now the city of Di is in my hands. If I want to let the Slavs in, I can let them in."
hesitate.
The strong enemy is in front, and the wolf is behind.
Enemy from both sides.
Moreover, the threat from the Han army is not only a direct military threat. There are also soft threats. With the strong strength of the Han army, the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty engaged in agricultural production, nomadic herding, fishing and hunting on the Songnen Plain.
All have been greatly challenged.
Among the three major plains, the Songnen Plain is the warmest and is the core area of the empire.
At present, Meng Yuan still has food reserves, but as time goes by, Meng Yuan's situation becomes increasingly difficult.
all in all.
Undecided.
"Hey." Jin Yuanrui lamented and shook his head silently.
Ancestor inheritance.
suddenly. A soldier came in from outside and reported: "Two princes. Marquis Tedun asks to see you."
"Huh?" The two brothers looked at each other, and then Heda took a deep breath, put on a calm expression, sat back, and said, "Please."
"Yes." The soldier responded, turned around and went down.
Marquis Tedun is the special envoy currently stationed in the capital of Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty. The family lineage has a long history and can be traced back to one of the Slavic emperors.
He was proficient in Mongolian and Chinese, and was a rare diplomat among Slavic nobles.
After a while, the very clean and tidy Marquis Tedun came in from the outside wearing the attire of a Slavic noble.
After the two parties greeted each other, Marquis Tedun came to the guest seat and sat down.
Marquis Tedun was not interested at all in the tea that was served. He said bluntly: "His Royal Highness King Keton. With all due respect. According to the staff assessment I brought, it is very likely that His Highness and Meng Yuan will lose this war."
"And now it is winter. The mobilization of troops and logistics is a great challenge for us Slavs."
"If Your Highness needs our help, please make a decision now. Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to send troops immediately."
Marquis Tedun said so straightforwardly that both Haida and Jin Yuanrui looked a bit ugly.
Meng Yuan has weakened to this point.
In the eyes of the Slavs, without their help, the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty would have perished.
But this guy is right.
Calling for help does not mean that reinforcements will come immediately.
The Slavic troops gathered first, and then marched to the Mongolian and Yuan lands in a mighty manner.
needs time.
However, Haida has certainly considered the issue of the time to enter the army, and feels that it is not a big problem now. The Slavs must not be allowed in except as a last resort.
Hedda did not hesitate, intending to shake her head and refuse.
At this moment, an official forced his way in. Hedda was a little angry, but when she looked up, she immediately showed a serious expression.
It turned out to be Wanyan Guang, Minister of the Ministry of War.
"What happened?" Haida had a premonition that something was not good, stood up, and asked loudly.
Jin Yuanrui and Marquis Tedun also felt something was wrong and stood up.
Wan Yanguang was panting, his face was as red as a monkey's butt. After a while, he said in a panic: "Your Majesty, news came from Di City. Feng Chong led the cavalry to attack Di City. Di City was conquered in one day."
"Except for those who escaped, he slaughtered all the soldiers and civilians."
"Your Majesty. We have no way out."
After saying that, Wanyan Guang spread his legs, staggered to the seat next to him and sat down. Regardless of etiquette, he picked up the tea cup of Marquis Te Dun and started drinking.
"What did you say?" Haida couldn't hold back any longer, stood up suddenly, her eyes were as wide as those in Tongling, and she yelled.
Then, his eyes quickly turned red. He shouted: "I have set up five thousand-household soldiers in Dicheng."
"Five thousand households."
"In Beta City, our elite soldiers of ten thousand households can withstand Wu Nian's 100,000 troops for several months. Di City was breached in one day?"
"Or cavalry?"
"What do those generals do for food? Are those soldiers guarding ten thousand households still us Mongolian warriors?"
"Could it be that they are the reincarnations of the former Liaodong military sect and reincarnated into us Meng Yuan people?"
unbelievable.
Hedda couldn't believe what she heard and what happened.
They were all a bit incoherent.
Five thousand households of Mongolian soldiers.
This is not the thousands of Han households established by Chun Yuan before.
Nor was it earlier, the generals of Liaodong who were killed by the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. But real Mongolian soldiers.
With a city, food, grass, and military supplies, they were captured by cavalry in one day?
I wouldn’t dare write a novel like this.
and. How could Feng Chong's cavalry have the ability to cross mountains and ridges hundreds of miles to attack Di City without anyone noticing?
Are the cities, passes, and checkpoints in front of me all just decorations?
Heroes like Haida were stunned.
Not to mention Jin Yuanrui and Marquis Tedun. The two of them were also stunned, their minds were in confusion, and they tried their best to regain their composure, but it was difficult to do so. When they opened their mouths to speak, they didn't know what to say.
Dicheng.
The winning hand.
Such an important and key city was lost like this.
it's good now.
it's good now.
Even if Meng Yuan asked the Slavs for help, the Slavs would not be able to come in so easily.
After all, Marquis Tedun was an outsider. After a while, he calmed down. Then he said to Haida unceremoniously: "King Keton, I have warned you many times. After analysis, our staff officers and generals all believe that the Mongolian Yuan is very likely to perish under the attack of the Han army."
"Please open the pass early and let the Slavic army come in."
"As long as the Slavic army comes in, even if it only has 50,000 troops. Together with the Mongolian Yuan, it will be enough to destroy the Han army in the field."
"But you shirk it in every possible way."
"It's fine now. It's difficult for us to support Meng Yuan. You have to swallow this bitter pill yourself, King Keton."
