The vastness outside the territory.
In the vast expanse of prairie, with the blue fields and blue sky, it seems like you can touch the sky when you raise your head.
Here, there are either deserts or grasslands, with rolling mountains and occasional lakes, which are sparkling and have a different kind of beauty.
However, it is extremely difficult to see buildings here.
Most of the grassland tribes make a living as nomads and live in no fixed abode.
Because since ancient times, the grassland situation has been extremely chaotic, and the major tribes have been fighting and attacking each other for years.
Most tribes, in order to avoid enemies, would not live in one place for a long time.
In addition, nomadic herding is also to avoid the severe cold and find an environment with abundant water and grass for grazing.
This situation lasted until three hundred years ago.
Three hundred years ago, a powerful leader was born from the Mongols. He was the first emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, Borjijin Temujin.
After Temujin became a Mongol tycoon, he fought everywhere. In just a few years, he unified most of the Mobei region, and then established the Mongolian state. He was respectfully called Genghis Khan by all ethnic groups.
Later during his reign, he further expanded Mongolia's territory, completely conquered the Xiongnu, Turks, Liao, Jin, Tubo and other countries in the eastern steppe, unified the entire north, and ruled tens of millions of foreign tribes.
It can be said that the reason why the current Yuan Dynasty can still dominate China and dominate the entire grassland is because it enjoys the lingering shadow of Genghis Khan.
Otherwise, how could a mere Mongolian control an area of tens of thousands of miles in the northern grasslands? !
The Yuan Dynasty was established by the fifth emperor of Mongolia, Kublai Khan.
After Kublai Khan ascended the throne, he further consolidated the rule of Mongolia, vigorously developed its national power, and frequently launched wars against various dynasties in China and Turkey. Later, he established the Yuan Dynasty with Mongolia as the foundation, respecting Genghis Khan as the Yuan Taizu.
During Kublai Khan's reign, although he controlled the entire northern desert grassland, he did not change much. The various ethnic groups in the north still maintained their own living habits.
Only the Mongolian royal family, in order to ensure the rule of the dynasty and demonstrate the majesty of the royal family, built a capital city near Mount Burhan, the sacred mountain of the Mongolian people, called Dadu!
This is the paradise of the Mongols, the core hub of the Yuan Dynasty, and the center of politics and power.
The emperors of the Yuan Dynasty and all the civil and military officials of the Yuan Dynasty all lived here, and controlled tens of millions of people from all ethnic groups in the north.
Today, the owner of this capital, the emperor who controls the Yuan Dynasty, is the sixth emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, the grandson of Kublai Khan, Borjijin Temur!
Temu'er reigned for more than thirty years. Although he did not continue the glory of Kublai Khan and further expand and strengthen the Yuan Dynasty, he did not make any big mistakes. Instead, he could be regarded as a wise and conservative king.
After he ascended the throne, he did not wage war against China for years like Kublai Khan. Instead, he ordered recuperation and even large-scale tax reductions. He was extremely popular among the people of various tribes on the grasslands.
However, not everyone is like this.
A series of measures taken by Temur after he ascended the throne made most of the people support him, but made many royal nobles and officials dissatisfied.
Because Temur did not want to go to war abroad, he also took measures to reduce taxes at home, which infringed on their interests, so he was opposed by many people.
However, Temur insisted on going his own way. He once even wanted to establish diplomatic relations with the major dynasties in the Central Plains and attempted peaceful coexistence. This was strongly condemned by countless officials and rumors spread all over the country.
In their view, going south to invade China was the long-cherished wish of all the tribes in the north. This move by Temu'er was betraying the traditions of his ancestors.
Because of this matter, a lot of civil strife broke out in Dayuan. Although it was finally suppressed, Tie Mu'er's majesty was greatly reduced, and his control over Dayuan was not as high as before.
Especially in recent years, not only the officials in the DPRK and the Central Government have been disobedient, but even the major vassal states in the west have not obeyed the orders of the Yuan Dynasty, and there are faint signs of division.
If the Great Yuan had not ruled hundreds of tribes for many years and had a strong national power and profound foundation, civil strife would have arisen long ago.
This time, because of the previous defeat of King Ruyang, the old prince Sihan flew out of the border and personally presided over a military campaign against the Ming Dynasty in China. He wanted to use this battle to strengthen the rule of the Yuan Dynasty and intimidate all the people under his rule. A large country.
At the same time, it can be regarded as fulfilling the long-cherished wish of all ethnic groups to invade Middle-earth.
Unexpectedly, what should have been a sure-fire battle would soon lead to an accident.
In the battle of Red Dragon City, not only was the Yuan army defeated, more than half of the 500,000-strong army suffered casualties, and they fled back to the grassland in batches. Even the coach Si Hanfei, the demon sect Meng Chixing, the old national master Eighth Division Ba and many other members of the Yuan Dynasty heritage All the powerful men fell into the Ming Dynasty.
When the news came back to Dayuan.
The entire Yuan Dynasty suddenly fell into huge turmoil.
Especially half a month ago, after the Ming Dynasty issued a crusade against the Yuan Dynasty, many tribes and countless people on the grassland were horrified and fearful all day long.
In order to prevent the Ming Dynasty from really attacking, Emperor Yuan immediately ordered the major vassal states in the west to give up attacking other dynasties and bring troops to reinforce.
But soon, news came from the west.
The Xiongnu and Turks, the strongest under the Yuan Dynasty, were held back by the troops of the Han Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty respectively, and were unable to escape.
The closer Song Dynasty did not send troops, but the Liao, Jin and other countries were blocked by the Beili Kingdom of the Western Regions who wanted to attack the Yuan Dynasty a few days ago and were unable to come.
Today, Dayuan is isolated and helpless.
Apart from the country's hundreds of thousands of remnant troops, there is no other force available.
Especially the martial arts experts at the domestic level were completely wiped out, leaving only one mage Pang Ban who fled back to the north in embarrassment, and some masters at the Grand Master level to protect him.
at this time.
Most of them are heavily defended and have entered the highest level of combat readiness.
There were very few people on the streets, and there were troops patrolling everywhere.
In the palace, the atmosphere was even more tense.
Emperor Tie Muer of the Yuan Dynasty sat on the dragon chair, and below him were all the civil and military officials of the Yuan Dynasty.
The magician Pang Ban, who luckily escaped back to Dayuan, was also among them, silent.
He was the first to bring back the news of the defeat of the Yuan army and the death of Si Hanfei and others.
"I have long said that the strength of the Ming Dynasty is not as simple as it appears, and it cannot be destroyed so easily. However, you insisted on going your own way and asked Grandpa Huang to leave the country and send troops to the Ming Dynasty. What now? Have you ever regretted it?!"
Timur said with a gloomy expression.
All the officials were silent, their faces were very ugly, and their mood was low.
From the very beginning, Tie Muer was opposed to sending troops to the Ming Dynasty. They jointly submitted a petition and invited the old prince Sihan Fei to take revenge on King Ruyang.
But now, the 500,000-strong army has suffered heavy casualties, Sihan has died, the Ming army is about to send troops, and Dayuan is isolated and helpless.
They have no confidence at all that they can resist Ming Dynasty.
"Speak! Are all of them mute now?"
Tie Muer shouted: "Now that the Ming Dynasty has issued a crusade, it will go north to attack the Yuan Dynasty in a few days. Who among you will lead the troops to resist the Ming army?"
Still no one spoke.
The emperor Sihanfei was once the general marshal of the army during the reign of the late Emperor Kublai Khan. He was in charge of the country's military power. He had experienced hundreds of battles. Even many of the territories in the Yuan Dynasty were conquered by Sihanfei's troops. He was known as One word cannot be overstated.
But now that even Sihanfei has been defeated, are they going to die?
"Report~!"
Suddenly, at this moment, an official hurriedly walked in and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty has sent out troops. A total of 600,000 troops have left Jiayu Pass and entered the grassland. They are heading towards Dayuan. Come!"
Everyone's expressions changed drastically.
Tie Mu'er also trembled in his heart. He was extremely frightened. He glared at the officials and shouted: "It's all your fault!"
Baiguan's face was pale and speechless.
"His Majesty!"
At this time, a monk suddenly came out, bowed, and sighed softly: "The matter has come to this, and it is useless for Your Majesty to talk about it anymore. The most urgent task is to find a way to stop the Ming army and solve this crisis."
This monk is wearing a red robe. He is very tall and thin. His body is like a bamboo pole, and his forehead is slightly sunken, like a saucer.
This monk is wearing a red robe. He is very tall and thin. His body is like a bamboo pole, and his forehead is slightly sunken, like a saucer.
This person's name is Jinlun Dharma King. He comes from the Potala Palace in Tubo. He also belongs to the lineage of Tantric Buddhism, but it is not the same branch as the previous Tantric Buddhism in the Western Regions.
Dayuan believed in the Immortal Heaven and Tantric Buddhism, but the Immortal Heaven was illusory and there were no masters in practicing it, so they reused the Tantric masters of the past dynasties.
After the death of the Red Sun Dharma King, the Jin Lun Dharma King became the new national preceptor of the Yuan Dynasty.
Although his fame is not as great as that of the Red Sun Dharma King, his strength is not weaker than that of the Red Sun Dharma King.
He also practiced the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique, the secret skill of Tantric Buddhism, and reached the level of a top grandmaster, and was highly used by Emperor Yuan.
When Tie Mu'er saw Jinlun Dharma King coming out, his expression softened slightly, but he still didn't look good. He said in a deep voice: "How could I not know?"
"But now our Yuan Dynasty's hundreds of thousands of troops have been defeated. Emperor Si Hanfei, Demon Sect Meng Chixing and the old Imperial Master Eighth Master Ba have all fallen. I have no one left to use!"
"The coalition forces from the western countries are also blocked in the west by Beili Kingdom and cannot come to reinforce. How can these hundreds of thousands of remnant troops resist the Ming Dynasty?"
Jinlun Dharma King shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to belittle yourself. Our Dayuan army of hundreds of thousands is actually enough to resist the Ming Dynasty."
Tie Muer frowned: "What does the Imperial Master mean by this? Even the old emperor was defeated, how can others resist?"
Jinlun Dharma King shook his head slightly and said: "Your Majesty, although the Ming Dynasty has 600,000 troops coming, our Yuan Dynasty is located in a vast area. When they enter the grassland, they will not be familiar with the route and will be scattered. This will greatly reduce their combat power. And our Dayuan soldiers are all experienced warriors on the grassland, so we may not lose to them."
"In addition, they came across thousands of miles of desert, fought for a long time, and had no supplies. They must be the ones who suffer. They don't dare to delay for too long."
"In terms of military strength, we, Dayuan, have the advantage."
Tie Mu'er said solemnly: "If that's the case, how did the old emperor and the others lose?"
King Jinlun said: "The old emperor's defeat was not at the hands of the Ming army, but at the hands of the masters of the Ming Dynasty. If the Ming army had no masters, even if our Yuan army would be defeated, it would never be such a tragic defeat. "
"If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask the magician benefactor."
As he spoke, King Jinlun looked at the silent magician Pang Ban.
Timur also looked at Pang Ban.
Pang Ban was silent for a moment, nodded and said: "Master is right, the old emperor and his master Meng Chixing and the others all died at the hands of Gong Yuhuatian in the West Factory of the Ming Dynasty. If the Ming army does not have masters, the old emperor and the others will be defeated." Even if the Ming Dynasty cannot be conquered, it will never fall."
"This..." Hearing this, everyone started talking.
Tie Mu'er also frowned and said, "In that case, how should we deal with the masters in the Ming army?"
"Your Majesty does not need to worry about this."
Jinlun Dharma King said: "The poor monk will set off back to the Potala Palace now. He will definitely invite the Living Buddha to relieve His Majesty's worries."
Temu'er's eyes lit up and he said: "I have heard of the name of the Living Buddha of the Potala Palace for a long time, but can the Living Buddha deal with the masters of the Ming Dynasty for me?"
Timur was a little worried.
King Jinlun said confidently: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry, as long as the Living Buddha takes action, everything can be solved!"
"In this case, then there will be Master Lao." Tie Mu'er nodded and sighed, now he can only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
"Your Majesty is serious, this is the responsibility of the poor monk."
The Golden Wheel Dharma King’s Way.
After saying that, he said goodbye and left.
"Living Buddha..." Looking at his back, Pang Ban's eyes flashed slightly.
Naturally, he had also heard of the name of the Living Buddha in the Potala Palace. It was said that he was the person closest to the way of heaven on the grassland and was the son of the legendary hero of the year.
But for some reason, Pang Ban was still not optimistic about this battle.
He vaguely remembered that when he first met Yuhuatian, Yuhuatian was only at the Grand Master level.
Every time he encountered a crisis, Yuhuatian was able to solve it in the end, and he became stronger before long.
But now, Yuhuatian's realm has surpassed him.
I'm afraid that even if the living Buddha really comes, he won't be able to please him...
Pang Ban thought for a moment, sighed, and left the hall quietly.
After a while, he appeared in a secret room.
In the secret room, there was a young man in black robe sitting.
The young man has elegant eyebrows and a tall figure, and there is a mysterious and magical aura flowing around his body.
This person is none other than Han Bo!
During the battle at Dongting Lake, Feng Xinglie and Han Bai had a lucky escape.
Later, the two broke up in the Ming Dynasty. Feng Xinglie went to the Yuan Dynasty to develop, while Han Bai met Pang Ban, who also lost to Yuhuatian, and was accepted as a disciple by Pang Ban.
Now, after many years, Han Bai has successfully reached the peak state of Grand Master, and is only one step away from becoming a heavenly being.
"Master!"
Seeing Pang Ban arriving, Han Bai quickly stood up and saluted respectfully.
At this time, he already knew that Pang Ban was not only a member of the Demon Sect, but also a Mongolian, but he no longer cared. As long as he could become stronger and get revenge, he could abandon everything!
Pang Ban nodded slightly, looked at him, and said: "You have obtained all my inheritance. With your qualifications, as long as you practice well, you will one day be able to step into heaven, or even higher."
"It all depends on Master's cultivation." Han Bo said respectfully.
Pang nodded, and after a moment of silence, he said: "When I accepted you into my sect, I thought you had a good character, and you had the same enemy as my teacher, so I wanted to help you grow up and become my teacher's other two in the future. Disciple takes revenge."
"But now..."
At this point, Pang Ban fell silent again, and then said: "Go away. Don't think about revenge anymore. Change to a different place and live a good life."
Han Bai's expression changed: "Master, did something happen?!"
Pang Ban said calmly: "Don't ask too much. In short, you can leave here and go anywhere. You can stay anonymous and find a way to pass on the martial arts of my Demon Sect."
"Master..." Han Bai knelt down.
He has been practicing in seclusion in this secret room, not knowing what is going on outside.
But he could also vaguely guess something.
Something big must have happened now, so big that even Pang Ban is not confident to solve it, otherwise Pang Ban would never be like this!
"Master, come with me!" Han Bai gritted his teeth.
Pang Ban shook his head, turned to look in the direction of Yuan Palace, and sighed: "I am still from Yuan Dynasty. Unlike you, I can't leave."
"and……"
He didn't say anything else.
But Han Bai already sensed a hint of determination from him.
Pang Ban took out a golden sword and handed it to Han Bai, saying: "This is the Rain-covering Sword. I will pass it on to you today. My only regret now is that I could not hold this sword to fight Lang Fanyun." Win or lose.”
"If you have a chance in the future, I hope you can act as a teacher to complete this battle."
Han Bai looked sad and took the sword without saying a word. (End of chapter)
