Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Just now, they learned that Zhang Yong sent troops to deal with the Assassin assassins, and also learned that three assassins were captured in their own mansion.

As the hostess, Tulan Lun came over with Farmaina. After all, Farmaina was also Persian and knew these Persian assassins quite well.

Farmaena never expected that the three assassins would actually hide in her servants. She had been staying at Zhang Yong's residence these years.

In addition to raising some Khwarazm Persian dancers from the Western Regions, they also rescued many slaves from the Western Regions.

These three people were originally recommended by Bamui, so she accepted them without any doubts and asked them to take care of the flowers in the garden. Unexpectedly, they turned out to be assassins from Assassin.

The Assassin sect would actually reach out to Chang'an, thousands of miles away! She even threatened her husband!

Fortunately, God bless her husband and he will be fine. These damn Assassins, they all deserve to go to hell. They are indeed heretics.

"It's okay, everything has been taken care of. Don't worry, you two. Farmayina, you don't have to blame yourself too much.

I asked Bamui to arrange these people to your residence. You must stabilize them first. Don't worry! Everything about them is under my surveillance. "Zhang Yong said.

Although Bamui arranged it, these assassins were hiding among Famanina's servants. Zhang Yong was worried that Tu Lanlun would teach this girl a lesson afterwards, so he said that they were appointed by him.

Although he dotes on Farmayina very much, her status is still not as good as that of Tulanlun, Xiaoyun, and Quchi.

After all, these three girls still have the power of their parents' families to rely on, and Famaina's father and brothers have been killed by Genghis Khan. The only one left is a cousin, who is also far away on the Mongolian grasslands.

"Hmph! These assassins are so bold. They dare to sneak into the master's mansion. What do they want to do?" Tu Lanlun said with an angry look.

This incident made her quite angry. Several assassins actually sneaked into the palace. What if Zhang Yong or her own child was hurt?

"Beautiful mistress, please rest assured that these assassins are all under my surveillance. They will not cause any trouble, and their goal is not to assassinate, they just want to extort some money." Bam Yi hurriedly explained.

He was still very afraid of Tulan Lun. After all, when Zhang Yong was away, this Mongolian woman was the eldest in the family. If the hostess gave her small shoes in the future, it would be difficult for him.

"Hmph! You should have told me in advance." Tu Lanlun said with a cold snort.

"If the mistress tells you, I won't be able to catch them all. After all, you don't have the authority to command the army. I have to stabilize them first and wait for the master to come back.

If one or two of them run away, they will be a threat to the master and the mistress.

That's why I took the initiative. If the mistress is angry, please punish me! "Bamui immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Tulanlun, and spoke.

Although Tu Lanlun was the mistress of this palace, she still could not command Zhang Yong's direct troops. These troops only obeyed the mobilization of Zhang Yong or Bing Fu, and the women in the harem had no right to command them.

This is a rule that Zhang Yong set long ago, and Tulan Lun also acquiesces to this rule. After all, women cannot participate in military command, and this is also the case in Mongolia.

"Never again, if something like this happens again in the future, you must at least inform me so that I can be prepared. I still have some Mongolian servants under me," Tu Lanlun said.

"Thank you for your magnanimous mistress!" Bamui breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"What are you going to do about this matter in charge? Do you want to kill all these assassins?" Tu Lanlun asked.

"They came from the country of Mucashi. I plan to report this matter to the Great Khan." Zhang Yong said.

After all, the targets of these guys are not only themselves, but also Ogedai and a large group of Mongolian princes and nobles. Several sons of Genghis Khan are also their targets.

Obviously, these guys were sent here by the old man in the mountains to extort a sum of money and get a feel for the details of Mongolia. It would be best to introduce a decent outpost here. This is the main purpose of their visit this time.

"Then do you plan to take them to the front line and hand them over to Ogedai Khan?" Tu Lanlun said.

"Keep them here first, and then interrogate them after I come back from the Kingdom of Jin. Now let them hang out." Zhang Yong seemed to have suddenly thought of something and said.

If these guys are sent to the front line now, Ogedai might become furious, the new Great Khan.

Now I am worried about the rebellion of Khwarezm! You know, it was because of Khwarezm's rebellion.

As a result, Zhang Yong's crude oil supply chain also encountered problems, resulting in a sharp decline in the production of military gasoline.

Now we know that an ordinary small country in the Western Region actually sends people to extort money by assassination, which will definitely make the Mongols furious.

But the area for the next Western Expedition will not be in Persia, but in Western Europe. What's more, the current war situation on the front line is unfavorable, so it is better not to let some bad news reach Ogedai's ears.

"That's fine! Okay, just lock them here and keep them under strict supervision." Tu Lanlun nodded and said.

After coaxing his two wives, Zhang Yong gave Bamui's brother some rewards, and then arranged for him and Bamui to train Zhang Yong's special forces together.

That night, after learning that an assassin had sneaked into his house, some of Zhang Yong's other women were also frightened to a certain extent. They breathed a sigh of relief after knowing that nothing was wrong.

Zhang Yong comforted all the wives again, and then took the wives back to rest.

I hand in my wife's homework by the way, but I can't help it, the business is busy!

Early the next morning, Zhang Yong, who had some back pain and weak legs, got on his horse, and then led the well-prepared army of grain transporters and left in a mighty manner.

With the army, Zhang Yong crossed Tongguan and entered the Kingdom of Jin. After walking for a few days, he arrived at the military camp where Wokuotai was located.

After receiving the news of Zhang Yong's arrival, Wo Kuotai immediately arranged for several Mongolian generals to come to greet him.

Wo Kuotai himself did not come to greet Zhang Yong in person. After all, Wo Kuotai's identity is different now. He is now the Great Khan of Mongolia.

After handing over some provisions with the guards, Zhang Yong immediately went to the tent in Wokuotai.

Along the way, Zhang Yong saw a large number of dejected Mongolian soldiers, hiding in some shady places to escape the heat in twos and threes, even putting their weapons and armor aside.

It seems like morale is a problem! During this period, Wokuotai's actions seemed to be quite unfavorable.

Zhang Yong shook his head and quickly followed the envoy to Wokuotai's military tent.

At this time, a large number of officers gathered in the tent, including Subutai, Borhu, Chahan, Tuolei, Chagatai, Polo, and some Han princes from Hebei, such as Liu Heima, Shi Tianze and others.

"Zhang Yong pays homage to the Great Khan!" As soon as he entered the camp, Zhang Yong bowed to Wokuotai and said.

"No need to be polite, Zhang Yong, just come. How much food and grass did you bring this time?" Wo Kuotai asked.

After all, they don't have much food and grass now. Because Zhang Yong said that he would bring food and grass over, he did not give an order to the northern Han princes to collect food and grass from the north.

"Reporting to the Great Khan, I brought 200,000 shi of food and grass this time." Zhang Yong said.

"Well! That's good. Two hundred thousand is food and grass, which is enough for the army to feed for two or three months." Wo Kuotai said with a sigh of relief.

The recent war has been quite unfavorable. After reaching a stalemate, the Mongolian army cannot stand the hot weather, and some diseases caused by the heat have even appeared in the army.

Fortunately, Zhang Yong invented allicin before, which made life a little easier. Otherwise, they might have had a plague in the army by now.

"Profuse sweat! I saw it when I came here. Some soldiers in the army are listless. It seems that the morale of the army is very unstable!" Zhang Yong asked.

"Alas! You don't know that some diseases have occurred recently. Fortunately, the allicin you invented before has worked. Otherwise, I am afraid that the plague will be rampant by now and I will have to withdraw my troops." Wo Kuotai said.

"Great Khan! Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. I have collected 200,000 grains and sent them to you." Zhang Yong said. Fortunately, he collected food and grass, otherwise a wave of offensive would be waiting for him! After all, it was nearly two months behind the originally agreed time.

"Great Khan! How is the war going now?" Zhang Yong asked.

Wokuotai hasn't spoken yet. Shi Tianze, who was standing aside, said. :

"The King of Guanzhong doesn't know something! If it's spring, or autumn and winter, then once we regain our combat effectiveness, these Jin people will definitely not be our opponents. But this summer, I don't know what happened, it was extremely hot, which caused our army's combat effectiveness to be greatly reduced. ah!"

The fatal reason is that I don’t know why the weather this summer is extremely hot, hotter than in previous years. This also caused the Mongolian army, which was wearing heavy armor and was not used to the hot weather, to feel extremely uncomfortable.

Now the morale of the army is extremely low, and they can't even take the initiative to attack the Jin people's cities.

"King Guanzhong! The harvest in our north this year is not very good. If we want to continue this war, I am afraid we need King Guanzhong to contribute some food and grass." A Han nobleman said.

Two hundred thousand grains and grass are enough to feed the army for three months. If it is slightly reduced, it will only be three and a half months.

But after eating the food and grass, Wo Kuotai either continued to collect food and grass, or returned to the Mongolian grassland with his army.

Returning to the Mongolian grassland is definitely not what Wokuotai wants, so Wokuotai has ordered that the Hebei region must raise grain and grass this winter to prepare for the Mongolian army to launch a winter offensive.

Due to the hot weather in Hebei and the years of war and exploitation, the people in the territory are already suffering terribly. If they need to collect more food and grass.

I am afraid that the people will be overwhelmed, so they, the Han princes, hope that the King of Guanzhong, who has just occupied the rich and fertile land of heaven, will continue to provide food and grass for the army.

Anyway, since the war began, the King of Guanzhong has been in charge of food and grass.

"Zhang Yong! Your current food can only last until November at most, but we will definitely run out of food in December. By then, the army may not be able to launch a winter offensive!" Wo Kuotai said.

"Great sweat! The land of Sichuan and Sichuan is indeed rich in products, but transportation is very troublesome. If you can dispatch 100,000 pack horses, then you can transport grain from the land of Sichuan and Shu. There will be no shortage of grain and grass." Zhang Yong said. said.

He single-handedly supplies all the food and grass for the entire army. The Mongol, Han, and Xixia armies combined, that is, the food and grass for the army of more than 300,000 people.

To be honest, the Sichuan and Shu regions can afford the supply, but the transportation cost is too high. As for the Guanzhong region, unless Zhang Yong's army stops eating, it cannot afford the supply.

Once the war breaks out, the consumption of food and grass will be too terrifying.

"I can mobilize another 50,000 pack horses for you. You can find a way to transport another batch of grain and grass in December. As long as we attack the Jin Kingdom in winter, everything will be easy." Wo Kuotai said.

"Great Khan! I can hoard grain and grass in the Guanzhong Mansion area now, but I don't recommend that you launch an offensive in December. It is best for us to launch a battle to destroy the Jin Kingdom in March next year." Zhang Yong said. .

"Oh! Why is this?" Wo Kuotai said with a frown.

"Great Khan! The Mongolian army is indeed very suitable for fighting in winter. But now most of the soldiers in the army have been infected with diseases. It is extremely disadvantageous to fight forcefully at this time.

Moreover, the Han army in Hebei and the Xixia army also need to restore their combat strength in the spring. Now we have captured the most important Tongguan and even encroached on a large amount of Jin Kingdom land.

As long as we stick to it for a period of time, the Jin Kingdom's combat power will be even weaker next year. After all, they don't even have time for spring plowing and autumn harvest this year.

Why don't you take the Mongolian army back to Tongguan first, and then garrison the troops in Tongguan to rest for a period of time. The army in Hebei will return to Hebei, and the army in Xixia will return to Xixia, and then launch the attack in the spring of next year. "Zhang Yong said.

If both the Hebei army and the Xixia army withdraw, there will be only a few hundred thousand troops left in the Mongolian headquarters. The pressure on the food and grass supply of these hundreds of thousands Mongolian troops will be much less.

Moreover, Tongguan is also very close to Jingzhao Mansion, so Zhang Yong can transport grain and grass very conveniently.

After hearing Zhang Yong's words, a large group of Mongolian generals, Chahan from Xixia, and a group of Han princes from Hebei all nodded collectively.

The current Mongol army's combat effectiveness has indeed dropped a lot. The hot weather has caused diseases in the army, which is the most terrifying thing.

Even the Mongols suspected that the diseases prevalent in their army were deliberately caused by the Jin people or the Song army.

"Great Khan! If you only bring hundreds of thousands of Mongolian troops to station in Tongguan, then there will be no problem with the supply of food and grass until the spring of next year. Our three armies will advance together and strive to completely defeat the Jin Kingdom within two months. ." Zhang Yong said.

"Great Khan! I think this plan of the King of Guanzhong is very clever." Yelu Chucai said.

"Great Khan! Our Hebei army really needs to be repaired. Our Han army is really not good at fighting in winter." Shi Tianze and a group of Han princes also said.

Seeing everyone saying this, Wokuotai gritted his teeth helplessly. Forget it, he would just endure it for half a year. When spring next year, he would immediately send his army to attack the Kingdom of Jin.

But just when Wo Kuotai was about to speak out, Tuo Lei stood up and spoke. :

"In this battle, we captured Tongguan, which was a huge victory, but we made no achievements in other aspects. How could we just retreat? If we retreat at this time, we will definitely be ridiculed by the Jin people."

"Lord Tuolei! So what do you mean?" a Mongolian general asked.

"Great Khan! Take all the sick soldiers back to Tongguan first, as well as the troops from Hebei and Xixia, all go back.

I will bring my own 50,000 troops to deal with the Kingdom of Jin. Just leave 100,000 stones of food and grass for me and let me fight this battle. Tuo Lei said.

After many battles with the Jin Army on the front line, Tuo Lei has already touched something, and now is the time to display his ambitions.

You need hundreds of thousands or even 200,000 people to deal with the Jin army, but I only need 50,000 people.

With 50,000 people and plenty of food and grass, I have the confidence to destroy them.

He had even chosen the location for the decisive battle. He wanted to lure the main army of the Jin Kingdom over.

The main Mongolian army is here, so the Jin people naturally dare not go out of the city for a decisive battle, and they are all huddled in the city.

Now that the explosive packs configured by Zhang Yong have been used up, and the gasoline supply line in the Western Region has been cut off, it is best to lure them out for a decisive battle under this situation.

He, the fourth son of Genghis Khan, was wandering around with an army of fifty thousand men.

I don't believe that you, the coaches of the Jin Kingdom and the Song Army, can bear not to deal with me.

As long as you dare to attack, then I, Tuo Lei, will have the confidence to defeat you.

But he was not going to give up this credit to anyone else.

If his plan succeeds, all Mongols, and even the various regions ruled by Mongolia, will know about it.

He fought a shocking victory, and the Mongol Khan and his hundreds of thousands of troops failed to defeat the Jin Kingdom.

He was beaten down by himself with only tens of thousands of people.

Hearing this, not only some Mongolian generals, but even some Han princes showed expressions of disbelief.

Give you 50,000 troops, you can deal with the Jin Kingdom alone, and then all of us withdraw. What kind of strategy is this?

"Master Tuo Lei, this strategy is too dangerous. You can't make fun of yourself and the lives of more than 50,000 Mongolian troops. You should go to Tongguan with Ogedai Khan!" Zhang Yong said.

If Tu Lei is really given 50,000 troops, there will still be enough food and grass.

This guy might actually be able to fight the Battle of Three Peaks Mountain in history.

It must be stopped. (End of chapter)
