Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 555 each with their own minds

Azasili's face was also livid.Although he was the king of Yuan Dynasty and Liao Dynasty, in fact, he did not enjoy even an extra bit of wealth because Yuanting occupied the Central Plains.

Azasili's ancestor was the younger brother of Genghis Khan. During the Genghis Khan period, his ancestors also followed the Great Khan in the north and south and conquered a large territory.However, with the death of Genghis Khan and the succession of his sons, his lineage began to move away from the center of power in Mongolia.

When Kublai Khan established the Yuan Dynasty and the Mongols occupied the Huahua River and Mountains in the Central Plains, Azasili's lineage could still only be stationed outside the pass. Apart from the title of King of Liao, they were still just the leader of horse herding.What I worry about every day is either the pasture or the cattle and sheep.

To be fair, the years when Azasili secretly signed a contract with the fifth prince of the Ming Dynasty were the only years when Azasili felt supported by the Central Plains.Now in his account, there are fine Biluochun from Suzhou and fine agarwood from Guangnan.The fine porcelain from Jingdezhen is placed next to the bed; the fine wine steamed in the mouth is the secret recipe of Yingtian Mansion... and all of this can only be exchanged for worthless wool.

If he could never drink that fragrant wine again, Azasili would feel like he would never have anything to live for in his life.fight?Why go to war?Isn't it good that you can exchange wool for good food and wine, and you don't have to go hungry when there is a white disaster?

If the caravans of the Ming Dynasty were scared away, where could we find such an easy prey who charged wool at such a high price?
"The Prime Minister also plans to attack Ming Dynasty from the front line of Datong and Taiyuan, and wants us to accompany him."

"If all the strong men of the tribe are killed, then our cattle and sheep..."

Speaking of this, Aza Shili felt even more painful.In order to produce a large amount of wool, thousands of households in Shanyang have raised a large number of cattle and sheep in recent years.If there is no one to graze, these cattle and sheep will probably be robbed by the surrounding tribes when Fa Ming comes back.

Don't think that if they are both members of the Yuan Dynasty, those tribes will be merciful.Today's Dayuan rule is loose, and it is common for tribes under his command to rob each other.

Hearing what he said, the herdsmen and leaders in the tent became even more noisy.Some people yelled at Tuo Huochi, while others suggested that he should simply not obey Tuo Huochi's order and drive him back to Helin.A group of people were making a fuss.

"Why don't we just rebel against the Yuan Dynasty and join the Ming Dynasty! The fifth prince of the Ming Dynasty is generous, so I believe the emperor will not treat us harshly..." someone suggested.

There was a sudden silence in the tent, and everyone in the group looked at the leader who said these words in horror.After a period of silence, Azasili reprimanded: "What are you talking about? The grassland is our Mongolian world after all. Abandoning the Yuan Dynasty and joining the Ming Dynasty? Aren't you worried about the punishment from the Immortal God!"

Someone immediately grabbed the rude leader and asked him to apologize to Azasili.

"It doesn't matter, it's just that Tuo Huochi went too far and prevented our herdsmen from Shanyang Ten Thousand Households from living a good life." Aza Shili waved his hand and asked his left and right men to help the leader up.Then he opened the tent curtain and left the big tent.

"Your Majesty!" Boyan stopped him.

"Your Majesty, you really don't consider..."

"..." Azasili stopped.Frankly speaking, he certainly didn't believe in any punishment from the Immortal God, and he didn't have much loyalty to the Beiyuan royal family, which had neglected his family for nearly a hundred years.

However, he still somewhat missed the glory of his ancestors in his heart, and believed that the Ming Dynasty might not be able to resist if he raised his entire army to attack the Ming Dynasty.

"If you want to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, you have to wait until the Ming Dynasty can really defeat Tuo Huo Chi." Aza Shili whispered.Preserving strength and being cautious are the only rules for their family to survive on the grassland for generations.In the past, even if Naha came out to attack the Ming army, he only sent his troops to make a false shot. After discovering the tenacious resistance of the Ming army and the amazing power of Zhu Su's firearms troops, he immediately retreated.

The risk of rashly seeking refuge in Ming Dynasty is too great.What should we do if Tuo Huochi becomes angry and raises troops, but Ming Dynasty does not want to return to protect thousands of households in Shanyang?
"But, if you want us to help Tuohuo Chifenming..." Boyan looked confused.When it comes to who he supports more among Tuo Huochi and the Ming Army, he wants to support the Ming Army more.

The caravans of the Ming Dynasty allowed the herdsmen of the Wengniute Department to eat chicken, duck and fish during the white disaster, and allowed the herdsmen to drink fine wine under thick tents.And what about Dayuan?There is only war, war, endless war, let the herdsmen pick up their scimitars and fight for the emperor.

Wengniu Tebu was tired of it. Wengniu Tebu did not want to abandon his wife, cattle and sheep, for the stingy reward of Emperor Dayuan.

"...Send a few warriors to tell Xu Da of the Ming Dynasty about the plan to get rid of Huo Chi." Aza Shili thought for a while and whispered to Boyan.

Boyan's eyes lit up. "This is already the greatest sincerity we, Shanyang Ten Thousand Households, can offer." Aza Shili said.

Why didn't he want the arrogant Tuo Huochi to be defeated by the Ming army?

……

"I received a secret message from Aza Shili, King of Liao, saying that Beiyuan gathered 13 troops to camp outside Juyong Pass, deliberately posing a decisive battle with our Ming army."

"Tuo Huochi was preparing to use the Yuan army's mobility to suddenly turn westward and enter the pass from the Datong and Taiyuan lines when confronting our army."

Wudinghou Guo Ying took the secret report sent from Shanyang Wanhu and reported it to Xu Da.

"Humph, it's a small trick. If you can't attack Juyong Pass, are you going to imitate his deceitful ancestor Kublai Khan and attack the east and the west?" Xu Da twisted his beard and chuckled.In the past, Kublai Khan was unable to attack the northern front of the Southern Song Dynasty for a long time, so he turned to attack Dali, and then invaded the weakly defended western front of the Southern Song Dynasty from Dali.Tuo Huochi's move was undoubtedly based on such a calculation.

However, unlike Kublai Khan, Kublai Khan was engaged in several fierce battles with the Southern Song Dynasty at that time. The governor could not do anything, so he placed his hope on the unexpected troops.

And taking off the fire red, hehe, it's just cowardice.

During the decades of conflict between the Yuan and Ming dynasties, the offensive and defensive positions of Mongolia and China had long since changed.

"Commander, what should we do?" Guo Ying asked. "Do you want to move to Xuanfu? How credible is the information that King Aza of Liao is missing?"

"What if this is a deliberate summons, and I'll be thrown into disarray..."

"Don't worry." Xu Da said. "What should be done, just do it as usual."

"We waited for the original decision to go out to Juyongguan to fight Yuanlu. This is still the case today. The armies are still preparing as usual, so there is no need to worry about this letter."

"But the commander-in-chief..." Zhu Di walked out of the queue with his fists clasped, looking worried. "What our army originally thought was that since Tuohuochi gathered his troops for a decisive battle, we didn't need to use any tricks. We could directly fight behind the pass and annihilate the main force of the Yuan army in one battle."

"But if the main force of the Yuan army moves west, how can we fight decisively?"

"Besides, if the city of Taiyuan is destroyed, the marshal might as well send me to help defend Taiyuan..."

Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, is where Zhu Fan, the third eldest son of the Zhu family, is stationed.The third brother was obsessed with the so-called science of the fifth brother and had no intention of governing politics and the military. Zhu Di was very worried.

"Taiyuan is an important city on the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty. How can it be broken so easily?" Xu Da said. "Your Highness, Fourth Highness, I know you are concerned about my brother. But Your Highness, Your Highness, is also a man among men. When it comes to defending the city, he will definitely do a better job than His Highness Fourth Highness."

In Xu Da's mind, the figure who was unparalleled in bravery but died young emerged.He shook his head to dispel the distracting thoughts in his mind, and then said to Zhu Di: "Your Highness, Fourth Highness, you have the appearance of a famous general, but you overestimate yourself and your vision is a little narrow."

"If you can overcome it, Your Highness will definitely become a famous general throughout the world."
