Chapter 2573: The legitimate prince is born, and the raccoon is replaced by the prince
The Battle of Dragon City has just ended not long ago. Maodun, who received the news in advance, decided to take action against Orcheng.
At this time, Kublai Khan had not withdrawn from Chifeng City, and the Yuan army in the south of the Moon had not retreated to the north of the Moon. It was the best time for Maodun to seize Or City.
As Maodun expected, after learning that Boyan''s main force was defeated by Huo Qubing''s 20,000 people, the morale of the Or City defenders suddenly dropped. They were in panic all day long, fearing that Maodun and Huo Qubing would send troops to Or City.
But you can come whatever you worry about.
Under Maodun''s series of attacking tactics and the winning of his heart at all costs, the Or guard, who was defeated for several sets, decided to open the city and surrender to Maodun.
Just like that, after losing Chifeng City, Maodun captured Or City from Yuanmeng, which could be considered a game back.
After learning that Orr''s garrison rebelled and Orr City fell, Kublai Khan was naturally furious, but he was more frightened, worried that his military strength would be greatly damaged, and the other cities would also rebel. At the same time, he was glad that he retreated back to the north of the Mocheng in time and stopped the signs of rebellion from the source.
This time, Kublai Khan dispatched 180,000 troops, and was confident that he wanted to eliminate Maodun and completely unify Yuanmeng. As a result, he not only had nowhere to be obtained, but also lost more than 100,000 troops, and also lost Or City, so he no longer wanted to continue to fight.
But if you take the initiative to seek peace, you will definitely be treated as a defeated country by Daqin and be beaten up.
Kublai Khan still didn''t want to see the compensation regulations of the last Jinyang Treaty, so he naturally didn''t want to sign such a treaty that was powerless and humiliating with the Qin Dynasty.
But if there is no peace talks, the battle will continue. It is unknown whether it will pay a heavier price.
Just when Kublai Khan was in a dilemma, the two trusted advisers under his command, Tuotuo and Yelu Chucai, agreed that not only should not take the initiative to negotiate with the Qin Dynasty, but should instead act as if the whole nation was a soldier to defend the five cities in the north of Mo. Only in this way can the Qin Dynasty retreat voluntarily.
Although the Qin Dynasty''s second out-of-bounds suffered heavy casualties, the Qin army suffered considerable losses.
Huo Qubing suffered nearly half of the casualties of 20,000 troops to go out to the Frontier, and the casualties of Yue Fei and Zhang Liao also reached one-quarter, or even one-third.
For Yuan Meng, who could be a cavalry for all the people, this casualty is naturally not worth mentioning, but the total number of cavalry in the Qin Dynasty was only 170,000, and such casualties were already very large for the cavalry in the Qin Dynasty.
The reason why the Qin Dynasty was busy going out of the frontier was that it did not want to be eliminated in order to prevent the unification of the Yuan and Mongolian people.
Now that the purpose of the Qin Dynasty has been achieved, there is naturally no need to continue to fight the Yuan army for Maodun.
Therefore, as long as Yuan Meng''s determination to persevere is strong enough, the Qin army will naturally retreat, and Yuan Meng will not have to sign a defeated treaty.
Kublai Khan felt that the two of them had a reasonable point, so he issued an emergency military expansion order to recruit herders near the five cities in the north of Mo to serve as troops to defend the country, and even recruited more than 200,000 troops in a short period of time.
This is the only thing that nomadic peoples have. The living environment is difficult, so the whole nation is soldiers and can be summoned and supplemented at any time.
Before the war, Kublai Khan only maintained the scale of 250,000 troops. It was not that the Yuan and Mongolia had only 250,000 troops, but that they could only raise 250,000 regular troops.
The material consumption and equipment supply of regular troops are naturally different from those cannon fodder troops.
The more than 200,000 troops recruited today were herders not long ago, and they had not received any military training and were poorly equipped, so they obviously did not have much combat effectiveness.
If this is placed on the front battlefield, it may not be the opponent of the 20,000 Qin army, and it is naturally considered a cannon fodder army.
However, with such a large number, it is more than enough to defend the city and fill the scene.
Yue Fei, Zhang Liao and Huo Qubing, when they learned that Kublai Khan had temporarily recruited 200,000 troops to defend the city, they all tacitly chose to withdraw their troops.
There are three reasons why the three of them did this:
First, the purpose of weakening Yuan Meng and balancing the strength of Kublai Khan and Maodun has been achieved.
Second, Yuan Meng was already prepared, and the risk of attacking Mobei again increased significantly.
Third, even if you continue to fight, you won’t get much benefit. Instead, you will get cheaper. It’s better to stop the battle.
After Maodun learned that the Qin army was going to withdraw, he naturally expressed strong opposition. He was also preparing to pull the Qin army into a tiger skin to expand the results of the war. He was taking advantage of the Qin army. If the Qin army retreated like this, how could he pull the tiger skin?
Although Maodun wanted to stop him, the chief generals of the Qin army were not fools. First, Kublai Khan took the initiative to abandon Chifeng City, and then Maodun took advantage of the Qin army''s victory to capture Or City. Maodun had already taken advantage of Maodun. How could he continue to let Maodun take advantage?
Not long after, the three Qin troops stationed in the southern desert area each received edicts from the imperial court to withdraw their troops and returned with full loads of war.
At the same time, Zhang Yi, as the envoy of the Qin Dynasty, went to Or City to negotiate with Maodun.
Kublai Khan was determined to resist stubbornly. Even if he continued to fight, he would never sign a ceasefire agreement with Daqin.
The Qin Dynasty had no way to slaughter Kublai Khan, so he had to slaughter Kublai Khan.
"What? The Qin Dynasty wants me to bear the losses of this Qin army battle?"
After learning about Zhang Yi''s purpose, Maodun jumped up in shock and refused decisively, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible."
Zhang Yi sneered after hearing this, "Your Majesty, you must know that without my Daqin sending troops to help, can you stop Kublai Khan''s army?
Our army lost 30,000 elite cavalry this time. These 30,000 people died in battle on this grassland to save you. The king will be responsible for their pension. It is completely reasonable. ”
Zhang Yi deliberately claimed 30,000 troops to make Maodun bleeding.
Maodun was stunned when he heard Zhang Yi say this. He knew how high the pension amount of Daqin was, and even if he emptied it, he couldn''t take it out.
"That''s right, but, but..."
Under Zhang Yi''s coercion and temptation, Maodun dared not and had to compromise and agreed to pay 30,000 yuan of the Qin army''s pension. After all, the Qin Dynasty can be his life-saving talisman, and it can also be his life-saving talisman.
People are the slaughter and I am the slaughter. Maodun has no confidence in refusing.
But Maodun''s territory is in the south of the desert, and he had just encountered a great war. The richest Shengle City was ceded to Daqin, and he really could not get the pension of the 30,000 army in a short period of time.
After some discussion, Zhang Yi agreed to Maodun use war horses, cattle and sheep to pay off the debt, as long as it pays off within three years.
Zhang Yi directly squeezed out Maodun''s value, and then left with satisfaction. He left Maodun with tears in his face. He would have to work for Daqin in the next few years to pay off his debts.
In this way, although the Qin Dynasty failed to gain a hand in Kublai Khan, it was a slaughter. Kublai Khan, who was far away in Longcheng, felt relieved after learning that the Qin army had withdrawn, and immediately disbanded the temporary army, and then began to look for a candidate for prime minister. After all, Yuan Meng had to cultivate and rest again.
Kublai Khan thought about it and decided to seal Tutuo as prime minister, and his decision was undoubtedly extremely correct.
Although Yelu Chucai has strong abilities, he was born in the Qiang people after all, and he could not make all the major factions of Yuan and Mongolia feel at ease.
Just as Kublai Khan began to restore the Yuan and Meng, the news of the Qin Dynasty''s second victory in the frontier had spread to the Central Plains.
The monarchs of the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming, who were looking forward to the defeat of the Great Qin war, felt disappointed when they learned that the Great Qin would win so quickly.
In addition to appeaseing Zhu Di, who was in the Qi ranks, Cao Cao and Zhao Kuangyin summoned their advisers and generals to study the secrets of the Qin Dynasty''s victory in this frontier, but found that there was no secret at all.
The biggest trick to win in the Qin Dynasty is that the cavalry is strong enough, even stronger than the grassland cavalry, and the right general is used.
Whether it is Yue Fei, Zhang Liao, or Huo Qubing, they are all generals who are good at cavalry combat, especially Huo Qubing. This cavalry blitzkrieg technique has amazed people all over the world.
Cao Cao and Zhao Kuangyin naturally wanted to follow suit, but firstly, they did not have the speed of Huo Qubing. Secondly, even if they had the speed of Huo Qubing, they did not have the confidence to win, and the courage to die if they could move forward.
In addition to Cao Cao and Zhao Kuangyin, other kings also used sand tables to deduce them many times, but in the end they found that Huo Qubing''s playing style was only suitable for Huo Qubing to use himself.
Apart from Huo Qubing, there is no other person in the world, who is as extreme as him.
Huo Qubing''s excellent cavalry command ability made monarchs of all countries very afraid. After all, in terms of cavalry warfare, Huo Qubing is even no less than Bai Qi.
Bai Qi has already made all countries breathless. If Huo Qubing comes, who can bear it?
Fortunately, Huo Qubing was just amazing in cavalry warfare. Although the infantry warfare was equally excellent, it did not reach the level of cavalry warfare.
Moreover, Huo Qubing was awarded the title of General Zhenbei for his contributions. He will be permanently stationed in the northern border to deter foreign races in the future. He is likely to not participate in the Central Plains War, which also makes the Central Plains countries feel much more at ease.
Huo Qubing came from behind when he went out of the frontier for the second time. His performance was so amazing that Yue Fei and Zhang Liao, who also performed well, were both overwhelmed by him, so he was named General Zhenbei.
Yue Fei and Zhang Liao, who also won the battle, naturally had their own rewards, but they were not as big as Huo Qubing.
Shortly after Huo Qubing, Yue Fei and Zhang Liao led their troops back to their respective defense zones, they each led a thousand representatives to go to Beijing to receive the commendation, and also brought back the ashes of the soldiers who died in battle.
Ying Hao held a very grand welcoming ceremony for the representatives who went to the frontier. The people of Luoyang welcomed the return of the heroes who went to the frontier with flowers and cheers. The people of the whole city celebrated for three days.
As for the 20,000 soldiers who died in battle, only 15,000 brought back the ashes, while the other 5,000 were all dead.
Ying Hao went down directly and buried all the ashes of the soldiers brought back into the Martyrs'' Temple. Those who did not bring back were also erected tombs and leave their names for future generations to remember.
"For this first glass of wine, I will toast the 70,000 soldiers who went out of the frontier. Without their **** battles, there would be no glory for the Qin Dynasty to shake the vastness of the outside world and the glory of all races coming to the frontier."
"I want to die in this second glass of wine. Without their heroic sacrifice, there would be no stable life for millions of people in the northern border of Qin."
"For this third cup of wine, I want to toast the three generals Huo Bing, Yue Fei, Zhang Liao, as well as generals Lu Bu, Jiang Song, Gao Chong and other generals. Under their wise command, our Qin Dynasty can defeat the 180,000 Yuan Meng cavalry with 70,000 cavalry, beheaded more than 100,000, and create another great victory..."
Ying Hao''s words made the generals excited.
The generals who participated in the outpost were all proud, while those who did not participate were extremely regretful. They missed this opportunity to be a hero and made up their minds to fight for the next time they went out.
With Ying Hao having a good start, the atmosphere of this celebration banquet was naturally extremely warm. However, when the banquet was only halfway through, someone suddenly came from the palace to inform the news that the Queen of the Eastern Palace was about to give birth.
After hearing this, the generals congratulated Ying Hao one after another and said that this was a good omen.
Ying Hao also thought this was a good sign. After all, he won the battle from the frontier. Now the legitimate son was born at the celebration banquet again, which is a double happiness.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Seeing someone coming from the palace again, Ying Hao couldn''t help but ask, "So what''s wrong?"
"The Queen of the West Palace is about to give birth."
"What?"
This time it was not a surprise, but a shock. Ying Hao never expected that Liu Mu, who was one month later than Ren Hongchang, would give birth on the same day as Ren Hongchang.
Although Ren Hongchang was pregnant for twelve months, this was too coincidental.
Ying Hao had an instinctively bad premonition in his heart, and immediately said, "Set back to the palace."
As soon as he finished speaking, a thunder sounded.
Boom...
Then the sky darkened rapidly, the strong wind suddenly rose, dark clouds covered, and it rained heavily.
Ying Hao looked at the dim sky, for some reason, the bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger, and he would return to the palace even if the heavy rain outside was heavy.
At this time, in the Great Qin Palace, Ren Hongchang and Liu Mu had completed production one after another.
Ren Hongchang gave birth to a son and a daughter, while Liu Mu gave birth to a son.
Since the mothers are both grand masters, the prince and the princess are both healthy and not as weak as ordinary babies.
But even if the two queens are grandmasters, the process of giving birth to a child is extremely difficult, and the child fainted as soon as he was born.
Seeing that the queen fainted, one of the midwifes was so bold that she took out a dead raccoon cat from the bag, and then exchanged it with the only born little prince.
Sorry, I have been working for two consecutive days. The author really doesn''t want to work overtime, because even if there is overtime pay, it cannot offset the loss of manuscript fees for not updating for two days. But there is no way, and I have no choice but to live in the world.
