Chapter 633 Timur and Xiao Chuo
While the Chutian forces were actively preparing for the war, a big shot came to Xiacheng—Ekaterina from St. Petersburg.
Ekaterina's sudden visit put the girls in the Lord's Mansion on alert.
"Is this the Xia City of the Eastern Han Dynasty?"
Yekaterina came to Xia City through the teleportation array of Luntai City, causing a commotion in Xia City.
Soon the news of the relationship between Chu Zimou, the lord of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Ekaterina, the lord of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, was confirmed.
Although it was rumored four years ago that the two were having an affair, it was finally confirmed at this time, and many European lords who went to St. Petersburg to request marriage also found that Ekaterina had a son.
"Dirty woman, what are you doing here?"
Xia Liang couldn't help scoffing when she saw Yekaterina take the initiative to visit the lord's mansion.
Ever since Ekaterina confessed, she let go of her arrogance.
Xia Liang allowed her to come to Xiacheng for a limited number of times, but every time she saw Ekaterina, she was still a little upset, because she tended to feel inferior in front of Ekaterina...
"I don't want to come here... It's still the same as last time. I'm here to discuss and deal with the Mongol Empire and the Golden Horde."
Ekaterina was also polite, and walked straight into the mansion, looking around curiously.
Roufu Diji, who was taking care of several children, saw Ekaterina for the first time, and the two were stunned.
"Why do you have other women here?"
Ekaterina discovers a new rival.
Roufu Diji also stared at Ekaterina with some defensiveness, thinking that Ekaterina would compete with her for the qualification to be promoted to a concubine.
"Ekaterina, you will always be just a little wife."
Xia Liang directly determined the status of Ekaterina.
"Impossible. I already have children. How could I be just a concubine? In terms of age, among the people here, I seem to be only a month or two younger than you."
Ekaterina immediately protested.
"I said you are a little wife, and you are a little wife. If you are not satisfied, you can leave immediately!"
Xia Liang was slightly annoyed when Yekaterina mentioned her age.
"snort……"
Although Ekaterina is dissatisfied with Xia Liang's positioning of her, it seems that Xia Liang has the final say here.
When Chu Tian returned to the mansion, he couldn't help frowning when he found that Ekaterina had arrived, and the backyard immediately jumped up and down.
Xia Liang and Ekaterina don't seem to get along very well.
"You came to Xiacheng, is there something wrong?"
Chu Tian knew that Ekaterina would definitely find an excuse for herself before she came to the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Only then did Ekaterina stop mingling with Xia Liang: "Under the attack of our coalition forces, the Golden Horde retreated steadily and planned to stick to the area around the royal city of Sarai. Its main force is avoiding the war and is preserving its strength. I suspect that the Golden Horde The main force of the Khanate may go to Mobei to support Temujin, after all, the Han Empire has plans to go to Mobei.”
"Mobei's status in Temujin's heart is higher than that of the Golden Horde. It is indeed possible for Temujin to dispatch the troops of the Golden Horde to support Mobei..."
When Chu Tian learned about the movement of the Golden Horde, he was somewhat disturbed.
The strength of the Golden Horde Khanate is not weak. If it joins forces with Temujin, coupled with the recent frequent contacts between the Liao Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom, Temujin will
For the Han Empire, it is undoubtedly a huge challenge.
"I can help you at critical moments. If the Golden Horde sends troops, I will also send troops...to participate in the Battle of Mobei. Of course, you must occupy a teleportation array in Mobei before my troops can be sent to the local area. I don't want to waste my troops on a long march."
"I want to emphasize again, this is not for you, but to eliminate the main force of the Golden Horde and force the King City of the Golden Horde to surrender to me."
Ekaterina was as stubborn as ever.
In any case, Ekaterina promised to send troops to support after the Golden Horde sent troops, so that she could share the pressure of the expedition to Mobei, which is a good thing.
The two discussed how to send troops, while Ma Yunlu took Chu Wu and Chu Xuan to play in the courtyard, as well as the incoming young duke.
"That's probably the case. Are you planning to stay in the Lord's Mansion for a few more days?"
After Chu Tian finalized the expedition to Mobei, he took the initiative to ask.
"Why should I stay here? It's not as comfortable as St. Petersburg, and there's that woman who fights against me all day. If you beg me, I can reluctantly stay."
"Oh, then you can go back."
"Chu Zimou!"
Ekaterina glared angrily, but then gave in and chose to stay for a few more days.
In the past few days, the lord's mansion has been relatively lively, Xia Liang has attracted several other women, and forcibly changed Ekaterina's status into a concubine.
Even Roufu Diji, who used to be the lowest in status, is now in a higher status than Yekaterina.
Ekaterina protested every day, but she still had to give in. After all, she was weak and no one stood in her camp.
Despite the fire in the harem, Chutian is still planning an expedition to Mobei.
The expedition to Mobei mainly used the Guards Army, Bingzhou Army, Youzhou Army, and Monan Army. As for the Jizhou Army, it was transferred by Chutian to Bingzhou and Youzhou for garrison. The targets of defense are mainly Tuoba Xianbei and some tribes in western Liaoning and Monan.
The Bingzhou Army and the Monan Army are on the same road, and the Youzhou Army and the Guards Army are on the same road.
The two groups of soldiers and horses cooperated with each other to attack Hara Helin in Mobei and Dragon City in Mobei respectively.
Lao Qin attacked Hara and Lin, and Mingguan attacked Yuerhai (Baer Lake).
As for Yangzhou Mu Tongque and Jiaozhou Mu Wang Defa, they can freely choose which army to join.
Mingguan had already fought Wanyan Aguda in Yuyuerhai, the two sides fought fiercely, blood stained Yuyuerhai.
Mingguan chased and fought fiercely, but it was beyond Wanyan Aguda's expectation.
As for Yao Guangxiao and others, they are actively preparing for the war, preparing to wipe out the remnants of the Liao Kingdom and march towards Mobei.
The Liao Kingdom is active in the eastern grasslands of Monan, and it also poses a certain threat to Chutian's Youzhou.
Regardless of Tuoba Xianbei or the Liao Kingdom, they finally chose to survive between the forces of the two princes and take advantage of the contradictions between the princes.
However, the enemy of the Liao Kingdom was Mingguan, and Chu Tian didn't bother to pay attention to the Liao Kingdom, just like Lao Qin didn't pay much attention to Tuoba Xianbei.
Mobei, Hara and Lin, Temujin practiced soldiers and horses day and night.
Commanders such as Timur, Subotai, Jebe, and Mu Huali were brought back to Mobei by Temujin to train each legion and improve the average level of each legion as much as possible.
As for Central Asia and West Asia, Temujin entrusted his son with full authority to take care of them.
He concentrated on dealing with the Han Empire's offensive.
The combined population of the Persian Empire and the Arab Empire in West Asia is tens of millions. It is not easy to conquer West Asia while guarding against the Han Empire.
The Grand Duchy of Moscow also has tens of millions of people.
The Indian peninsula has a population of hundreds of millions, and the weather is hot, making it difficult to conquer.
It was difficult for the Mongol Empire to conquer Eastern Europe and India.
Temujin found that the expansion of his power had reached its limit. If he continued his expedition regardless of Mobei, then Mobei might be destroyed by the Han Empire.
"Xiao Chuo, envoy of the Liao Kingdom, and Wanyan Lou, the envoy of the Jin Kingdom, have arrived!"
While Temujin was training soldiers and horses, the cold winter gradually passed, and two important figures came to Hara and Lin.
All the generals of the Mongol Empire or the generals of the servant army looked at the two people who came.
A young woman, well-behaved, like a celestial being.
The envoy sent by the Kingdom of Jin was a general, brave and resolute, with an aura of conquest on the battlefield.
"This person……"
Timur became one of the commanders of the Kexue Army, squeezed into the top ranks of the Mongol Empire, and was able to participate in the conspiracy between the Mongol Empire and other civilizations.
Temujin learned the lesson of the last betrayal of King Wusun, except for the civil servants and generals he recruited, he no longer trusted the captives.
Timur's eyes stayed on Xiao Chuo's body. He had an intuition that if he got this woman, his army might have stronger combat power.
Xia Liang got Xiao Chuo's "Heroine Adjacent" feature, this SS feature can play a supporting role.
Xiao Chuo is not just a feature, it may have many auxiliary features.
Timur needs such an auxiliary hero to improve the combat effectiveness of his army.
Moreover, Xiao Chuo's appearance is also impeccable.
Probably feeling Timur's greedy gaze, Xiao Chuo looked at the general of the Qi Xue army under Temujin's tent, and just smiled lightly.
In Timur's view, it was a big shock.
"We must get this woman..."
Timur was indifferent on the surface, but whether it was out of ambition or greed, he wanted to get Xiao Chuo.
Xiao Chuo's eyes returned to the front, her purpose was to go to the Mongol Empire to achieve her own goal.
As for Timur, such a person is not difficult to use.
In Xiao Chuo's view, Timur was just a general of the Imperial Guard under Timur's command.
Wanyan Loushi, who came from the power of the Kingdom of Jin, glanced at the generals of the Mongolian Empire, and was secretly shocked.
Temujin's successive battles in the Western Regions and West Asia were all based on the fact that he had a group of strong soldiers under his command, so that he would not be defeated miserably.
There may be no fewer than four or five emperor-level commanders present.
Under the guard of Chilaowen Boershu, Temujin came to the throne of the Great Khan of the Mongolian Empire, condescendingly, and looked at Xiao Chuo and Wanyan Loushi who came.
For the Liao Kingdom to send a woman to the Mongol Empire, Temujin remained calm, but was somewhat surprised in his heart.
Obviously, Yelu Abaoji attached great importance to this person, so he regarded this person as an envoy to the Mongolian Empire.
The other person is a general of the Kingdom of Jin.
After Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongwang, Jin Wushu and others were divided up by the princes of the Han Empire, Wanyan Aguda made Wanyan Loushi his general.
"It is said that the hussar general Mingguan of the Han Empire has sent troops to attack Yuerhai, and Wanyan Aguda suffered heavy losses."
Temujin looked at Wanyan Loushi.
"Exactly. After losing more territory, no matter food or population, we will be stretched."
Wanyan Loushi did not hide the plight of the Jin Kingdom.
A considerable part of the reason why he was ordered to come here this time was because the Kingdom of Jin was attacked by Mingguan forces and it was difficult to support it.
Apart from the difference in the number of generals, the population of Mingguan is much larger than that of the Jin Kingdom that Wanyan Aguda hastily established.
Even if tens of thousands of cavalry were killed in Mingguan, Liaodong, Liaoxi, Goryeo, Goguryeo, Huining City and other places would continue to replenish their troops.
Wanyan Aguda's Jurchen cavalry became less and less, and the servants of other tribes were gradually conquered by Mingguan again, and the number of Wanyan Aguda's servants was also decreasing.
Therefore, in the long run, Wanyan Aguda will be forced to death by Mingguan.
The descending barbarian forces all have such weaknesses, and the territory is not strong enough.
Temujin is different, he has been operating in the main world for several years.
Wanyan Loushi took a deep breath: "Therefore, our majesty hopes to use your power to destroy the Ming Pass and aggressively attack Liaodong. After occupying Liaodong, our majesty is willing to respect you as the suzerain."
Xiao Chuo's expression changed slightly, because the purpose of Yelu Abaoji's sending her here was also to ask Temujin for reinforcements, occupy Liaodong, and re-establish the Liao Kingdom.
If you can sit on Liaodong, then even if you call Temujin a vassal state, it is all right, this is the price of borrowing troops.
The purpose of Wanyan Loushi's arrival is exactly the same as that of Xiao Chuo.
"I think our Liao Kingdom is the one that the Great Khan needs to cooperate with. We have more troops, population, and weapons."
Xiao Chuo tried to persuade Temujin to send troops to help Liao take Liaodong instead of Jin.
"This Great Khan already knows your intentions. With Fuyu Kingdom as the boundary, Fuyu Kingdom and the Heishui River Basin are the territory of the Jin Kingdom, and Liaodong and Goryeo are the territory of the Liao Kingdom. The West of Liaoning is occupied by the Great Khan himself. If I can help you occupy it Here, you two countries need to obey the orders of this Great Khan, and recruit soldiers and horses to help you when you conquer. This Great Khan still recognizes the status of the kings of the two countries."
Temujin took the initiative to win the two countries.
Seeing that Temujin has already made up his mind, Xiao Chuo and Wanyan Loushi can only agree to a slightly harsher condition for Temujin in order to defeat Mingguan.
Temujin hosted a banquet in honor of Xiao Chuo, Wanyan Loushi and others.
Timur tried to get close to Xiao Chuo, and he got the moon first.
"It turns out that the general once severely damaged the Han army in Luntai and Yili. Sure enough, heroes have been born since ancient times."
Xiao Chuo learned that Timur was one of the new four great warriors, and that he had caused troubles for the Han army many times. In order to win over Timur, he didn't show disgust. feeling of discrimination.
Timur wants more and more to get Xiao Chuo who seems to him to be close to perfection.
However, Xiao Chuo followed the Liao Kingdom's envoys and stayed only for two or three days before leaving the Mongol Empire with Temujin's secret letter and returning to the Liao Kingdom's camp in the eastern grassland of Monan.
After Wanyan Loushi received Temujin's promise, he also chose to return to Yuerhai to return to Wanyan Aguda.
"Xiao Chuo, Xiao Chuo..."
At this time, Timur was young and energetic after all, and found Xiao Chuo's lingering figure, and couldn't wait to get her.
"I'm just a member of the Great Khan's army now, and Xiao Chuo seems to be very popular and has a lot of power in the Liao Kingdom. How can I get her?"
Timur had the desire to conquer, just like conquering the world, first of all he had to climb up and try to make himself as powerful as possible.
"If the Han Empire conquers Mobei and defeats it, it may take the opportunity to make a military exploit and ask the Great Khan for this person. The Liao Kingdom will definitely be under the pressure of the Great Khan... In the future, I will have four sons, and I will have four sons with the Great Khan. Like his four sons, each ruled a khanate."
Timur even began to imagine the future.
