Yongzhou, Chang'an.
"See my lord!" Zhang Yi, Li Cunxu, Tantai Yu, Xiao Mohe and others entered the ceremony together.
There were constant battles between Yelu Abaoji and Temujin. Therefore, it was not safe to walk from the grassland to Bingzhou at this time. Zhang Yi and the others simply returned to Luoyang from the direction of Liangzhou. When passing through Guanzhong, I heard that Li Xiang was in Chang'an now, so I went directly to Chang'an first.
This time, it was not easy for Zhang Yi and his group to come back. They were lured back by Yelu Abaoji and fought several battles with the Mongolian army.
Among them, the battle between Tantaiyu and Shalikin is the most exciting. Tantaiyu fought against Shalikin four times and achieved two draws and two defeats. Moreover, the duration of one of the two draws has reached the system's criteria for overstepping the tie. In other words, Tantaiyu has already gone through one-third of the way to breakthrough.
Because of the restraint of skills, even though Tantaiyu's basic force is a little weaker than Sharijin, if they really want to fight, the two will be equally matched. And the outcome of the first confrontation between these two people was enough to prove this point.
However, the skill effect of Temujin's genius was indeed sharp, and it successfully helped Shalikin widen the force gap between him and Tantaiyu, allowing Shalikin to begin to establish an advantage in the battle with Tantaiyu.
As the first big boss of the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Abaoji naturally has the effect of increasing the military force of the entire army. However, it is a pity that Yelu Abaoji's power can only be effective on the generals in his own force. As a result, Tantai Yu is naturally not included in this scope.
It is precisely because of this that Tantaiyu fell into a disadvantage in two battles with Shalikin. Fortunately, although he was at a disadvantage, the gap between the two sides did not widen. Even if Tantaiyu couldn't defeat the opponent, he could easily do it just to protect himself.
In the fourth battle between Tantaiyu and Shalikin, this time, Li Cunxu also participated in the battle in person, instead of just watching from behind like the previous times. As the founding emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty, Li Cunxu lived up to his expectations and finally burst out with the skill of Ruiwu.
"Ruiwu: Lingjian Junwen, the people belong to Ruiwu.
Effect 1: When commanding infantry, commander +1; when commanding cavalry, commander +2.
Effect 2: When facing the enemy, one's own strength is +3, and when rushing into battle, one's own strength is an additional +2.
Effect 3: When personally going into battle to kill the enemy, the entire army's force will be +2.
Effect 4: When the number of your own side is less than that of the enemy, your own commander will get an extra +1 and your force will get an extra +2. "
With the increase in Li Cunxu's Ruiwu skill, Tantaiyu's force value once again caught up with Sharijin's force value. Therefore, the two men were once again tied in this fourth duel.
The only pity is that this time the battle between the two was not as uninterrupted as the first time. After all, the first time was a battle between two generals, but this time they were fighting among the rebels.
In the end, the two men did not fight as long as the first time due to external interference. Otherwise, it is very likely that Tantaiyu will be one step closer to his breakthrough.
However, during this trip to the grassland, Tantai Yu took a big step on the road to breakthrough, which is already a big gain. However, Tantai Yu himself did not realize this gain of his.
During these wars, Zhang Yi had learned what he wanted to know about Mongolia's current military strength, equipment, generals, and the experience and character of some generals. The rest is something he won't be able to understand in a short time. Therefore, at this time, Zhang Yi no longer needed to help Yelu Abaoji.
Otherwise, if he stays any longer, Yelu Abaoji may think that Zhang Yi has nothing to do with his little trick!
Therefore, Zhang Yi ordered people to secretly believe that Liangzhou would temporarily withhold the next batch of soldiers and armor that was about to be shipped to Liangzhou, forcing Yelu Abaoji to compromise and send the wedding mission back to Liangzhou.
"Hahaha, no gifts, no gifts!" Li Xiang waved.
"My lord, Princess Xiao Yanyan has been arranged in the post house!" Zhang Yi stepped forward to report.
"That's good. I'll order you to prepare everything you need. Don't neglect this princess." Li Xiang nodded and ordered.
"Lord, don't worry!" Zhang Yi replied immediately.
In fact, Li Xiang's instructions were a bit redundant. Xiao Yanyan was one of the future mistresses of the Jin Army. No one except Li Xiang himself would dare to neglect her. From ancient times to the present, the role of pillow style cannot be ignored.
"How is the situation in Xianbei?" Li Xiang asked Zhang Yi. Anyway, the wife who is going to be married has been brought back, and there is no way to lose her. At this moment, Li Xiang was more concerned about the situation on the grassland.
"My lord, Temujin has many elite soldiers and capable warriors. Although he is restrained by Tuoba Tao of Dongxianbei, Yelu Abaoji may not be able to hold on for too long!" Zhang Yi said with a sigh.
At the moment, the situation on the grassland is indeed not optimistic. The Jin army accumulated a certain number of soldiers and horses in Hetao and Yanmen, and even occasionally sent out small groups of rangers to wander around the grassland border, hoping to attract some of Temujin's troops.
But obviously, the military vision of a generation of geniuses is beyond words, and they can see that Li Xiang will not really use weapons for a Yelu Abaoji at this time. Therefore, the Jin army's approach of stationing troops on the border had little effect.
Temujin directly waved his hand and ordered the tribes near Hetao and Yanmen to move hundreds of miles north. At the same time, Miliki Tuotuo, who had shown his talents not long ago, was sent to organize the herdsmen of these tribes to defend themselves.
Tuotuo, in the storytelling "Ming Ying Lie", as the uncle of Emperor Yuan Shun, the old master was both the grand master in charge and the prime minister of Zuoban, and he held the real power in his position. In order to preserve the power of the Yuan Dynasty, he even resorted to many despicable and disgraceful methods. For example, the Supposed Martial Arts Center set up ten tactics to kill all martial arts practitioners in the world. Unfortunately, this vicious plan ended in failure. Tuotuo is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also proficient in strategy. With the Nine Phoenix Chaoyang Sword in his hand, it is difficult to find an opponent.
And this Tuotuo is not only a storytelling figure, but also a real person in history. He is also a generation of politicians and military strategists recorded in official history. Tuotuo, who is praised as a "virtuous prime minister", is even more exciting and powerful than the one in the novel. , some historians even said that after Tuotuo's death, the Yuan Dynasty had completely come to an end.
When Temujin did this, the Jin army's practice of stationing troops on the border was greatly reduced. Moreover, in this case, the practice of small groups of rangers invading the Mongolian tribes on the border can no longer be used. If these small groups of troops go too deep, then it is not the Mongolian tribes that are in danger, but these small groups of troops.
