Chapter 724 Enthroned Grand Chanyu (2 in 1)

"Whether the battles in Monan, Mobei, or Shangdang County have come to an end, we are the only ones in a stalemate. Who is this Tuoba Tao? His counselor Cui Hao is indeed a master. Compared with Guo Jia and you, it seems to be evenly divided..."

Cao Cao is a little depressed now. He is blocked by a hero with similar abilities to him, Tuoba Tao, the leader of Tuoba Xianbei, and cannot win in a short time.

Tuoba Tao is somewhat similar to Cao Cao. He also has his own mastermind and general, which makes Cao Cao a big headache. Cao Cao fighting Tuoba Tao is equivalent to fighting his own mirror image.

Cao Cao has tiger and leopard cavalry, and Tuoba Tao also has tiger-patterned cavalry, and the two are rivals.

What's more troublesome is that Helan Mountain is under the control of the Guanlong Army, and Cao Cao is quite afraid of Li Xin who is stationed in Yinzhou City.

"My lord plans to hold a ceremony to worship the sky in Dragon City. Even if there is no progress on our side, it has nothing to do with the overall situation."

Guo Jia has already learned that Chutian plans to become the Grand Chanyu.

Only a few people like Tuoba Xianbei were left, which could not change the fact that Chutian ruled the prairie.

After the collapse of the Mongol Empire, Chutian was finally established on the prairie. It belonged to its own ruling system and divided each tribe into banners. Some banners were set up as counties, and some counties were set up as prefectures, forcing the nomadic civilization into a settled semi-nomadic civilization.

Guo Jia knew that Cao Cao's army attacked Tuoba Xianbei, regardless of success or failure, Tuoba Tao had already lost strategically, his allies fell, and he was unable to seize Bingzhou.

"The Great Chanyu... If the King of Xia proclaims himself emperor, and the Great Chanyu, wouldn't that mean the Central Plains and the Grasslands will be co-lords?"

Cao Cao was a little dumbfounded.

So far, no Han emperor has concurrently served as the Grand Chanyu.

Emperor Han and the Great Chanyu should have existed in opposition.

But in the eyes of the players, the prairie was originally part of the Han Empire, so there is no problem with the Han Emperor concurrently serving as the Great Chanyu.

If there is a person who is the emperor of the Central Plains and at the same time the identity of the Great Chanyu, then a practice will be formed-the future emperor ascends the throne, and he will automatically serve as the Great Chanyu.

This is equivalent to the Archduke of Austria concurrently serving as the King of Hungary, and then merged to form the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

In the eyes of Cao Cao and other natives, it is unimaginable and unprecedented for the emperor to concurrently serve as the Great Chanyu.

Opposite Cao Cao's army, a group of cavalry with tiger patterns engraved on their horse armor, wearing sticks.

The leader of Tuoba Xianbei, Tuoba Tao, stood on a hill in Helan Mountain, overlooking Cao Cao's army on the opposite side.

Cui Hao, the mastermind, was standing beside Tuoba Tao, and he could also see Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry on the opposite side.

The tiger-patterned cavalry is somewhat similar to the tiger and leopard cavalry. The two heavy cavalry faced each other for a period of time in Helan Mountain. The counselors of both sides made suggestions to attack the camp, lure the enemy, and cut off the food road. Cao Cao and Tuoba Tao used these methods. Individuals have nothing to do with each other.

"Modun and Shile seem to have failed, what should I do?"

Tuoba Tao was locked in Helan Mountain by Cao Cao, unable to respond to Mao Dun and Shi Le.

While Tuoba Tao was still trying to defeat Cao Cao, his two allies, Maodun Shanyu and Jieren Shile, were defeated.

...

In Mobei Dragon City, the ritual of offering sacrifices to heaven is ready. To be precise, this was originally a ritual of the Huns, but it is now inherited by Chutian.

The leaders of the various nomadic tribes were invited by the Chutian forces to Longcheng to participate in this ritual of offering sacrifices to the heavens, establishing the effective rule of the Han Empire over the prairie and establishing a new order.

"This is truly unprecedented."

Yu Fuluo and Hu Chuquan were taken away by Chutian. As the nobles of the Southern Xiongnu tribe, they participated in this ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.

Along with this came the nobles of the Mobei Mongolian tribe, the Xianbei tribe, the Khitan tribe and other tribes, and there were hundreds of nobles at the rank of commander-in-chief, as well as various self-appointed princes.

These princes will be abolished by Chu Tian,

Establish a new hierarchy, appointed by the Xia Palace.

Chutian swept the Mongol Empire and the Hun Empire, and all tribes were already feared, so there was no room for bargaining.

In troubled times, although corpses are everywhere, after destruction, a new order will often be brought about.

Whoever grows in troubled times is the founder of order.

"Ekaterina actually... has another child..."

Chu Tian calculated the time, when Ekaterina and him crusade against the Huns, she had her second child.

If this continues, the Tsarist Russian royal family began to grow, and there were at least two royal descendants.

"My lord, preparations for the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven have been completed. This is the sacrificial speech..."

Xiao Chuo was in charge of the documents for the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.

Although Sun Bin was a military adviser, he didn't make many achievements in politics, and he didn't care about words, so he left these matters to Xiao Chuo.

Xia Liang has to take care of Wu'er in the Xia Palace and supervise the operation of the Xia Palace, so she can't always be by Chu Tian's side.

"Just walk through the scene, stand up in front of the leaders of the various tribes, and frighten them."

Chu Tian simplified the ceremony as much as possible, all he needed was the identity and effect of "Great Chanyu".

Xiao Chuo has gotten used to Chutian's pragmatism: "Yes, I'll go down and inform the tribes so they don't procrastinate."

After Xiao Chuo went down, Hua Mulan, who was in charge of military intelligence, came in: "General Yue Fei, the rebellion of the Jie tribe has been put down. The leader Shi Le was seriously injured and fled. Shi Hu was killed. At least 70% of the population of the Jie tribe was captured, and another 30% of the population was captured." Flee into the mountains. Yue Fei intends to pass on Shihu's head."

"There is no need to send the head, just submit the battle report, I believe it. How about Cao Cao?"

"Helan Mountain still has King Qin's garrison. Cao Cao attacked Helan Mountain and fought fiercely with Tuoba Tao. It was hard to tell the winner."

"Old Qin's side is indeed a bit dangerous. The Qiang people and the Di people, presumably Lao Qin is about to finish suppressing them. He doesn't even need to use the main force. Let Cao Cao garrison Shuofang County and shorten the supply line."

Chu Tian considered that dealing with Tuoba Xianbei was no longer that important, so he ordered Cao Cao to move to Shuofang County to confront Tuoba Tao.

Since Lao Qin provided protection for Tuoba Tao, it would be good to destroy Lao Qin's Guanlong Army and Tuoba Xianbei together.

Countless tribes gathered in Longcheng to set up a platform to sacrifice to the sky, and prepare sacrifices such as golden men, white horses, cattle and sheep.

Regardless of farming civilization or nomadic civilization, there is a habit of offering sacrifices to the heavens. This should barely be regarded as a belief in natural gods. Perhaps the Huns worshiping the heavens were also influenced by the Qin and Han Dynasties.

The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was held in the tenth year of the lord's calendar. Under the watchful eyes of thousands of nomadic nobles, 100,000 Mongolian cavalry, tens of thousands of Khitan cavalry, tens of thousands of Southern Huns cavalry, and 100,000 Han cavalry, Chutian came to sacrifice to heaven. In front of the golden man, the sacrificial speech was announced, officially becoming the Great Chanyu.

There were nearly 300,000 black cavalry below, and there was no sound.

"Ding! You have obtained the official position of 'Da Shan Yu'."

Chu Tian found that besides "Great General" and "Yanzhou Mu" in his list of official positions, there was also a "Great Chanyu".

The position of the Great Chanyu must be higher than that of the Great General.

Because of the official position effect of the Great Chanyu, the popularity of all the nomadic tribes has risen, and the loyalty of the nomadic cavalry has also increased. The way they look at Chutian has changed a lot, and they regard Chutian as one of their own.

Especially Yu Fuluo and Huchuquan of the Xiongnu civilization recognized the identity of Chutian Da Shanyu, and looked at Chutian with eyes full of awe.

"Da Shanyu..."

Xiao Siwen, Brother Yeluxiu, Yelu Xiezhen, Xiao Siwen and others, as heroes of the Khitan civilization, were also affected by the effect of the Great Chanyu, and their loyalty increased.

Chutian took advantage of the situation to declare his status as the overlord of the grassland: "All the soldiers obeyed the order, and Maodun had no way to govern the grassland, so I replaced him. The grassland has since been unified and incorporated into the empire's territory. You must obey my orders!"

The leaders of all nomadic civilizations bowed their heads slightly, acquiescing to Chutian's position.

For a while, no one dared to oppose Chu Tian.

Chu Tian defeated Temujin and Mao Dun, the two most legendary figures on the grassland, and there were no grassland heroes who could stop his advance.

Hu Chuquan was terrified of Chu Tian who was on the altar, and said to Fu Luo: "Brother, your decision is undoubtedly very wise. Next, we Southern Huns, are we going to become herdsmen?"

"We were herdsmen..."

Yu Fuluo didn't care about it. He kept the last batch of Huns. As a Hun noble, he could live a good life in the future, and he didn't have to worry about the impact of the change of grassland hegemony on him.

"The Southern Xiongnu tribe has three counties and fifteen banners, the Khitan tribe has one county and five banners, and is under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Merger Prefecture. The Northern Xiongnu tribe has three counties, and the Mobei Xianbei tribe has nine counties, which are under the jurisdiction of the Mobei Dufu... ..."

Chutian dismantled the various tribes, making them restrain each other and separate powers to check and balance.

None of the tribal nobles stood up to object.

"The Khitan tribe only has the population of one county and five banners..."

Brother Yeluxiu thought that the population of the Khitan tribe was very small, and it would be a problem to replenish the Khitan cavalry in the future. Only by commanding the Khitan cavalry can his ability be brought into full play.

"Xiao Siwen, manage the horse herding department in Mobei. In the future, Khitan County will provide the Khitan Army with a source of troops."

Chutian arranged for Xiao Siwen, who is talented in raising horses, to train excellent war horses in Mobei.

The Khitan can also be regarded as a legendary tribe. Because Yelu Dashi established the Xiliao, in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, the ancient China was directly called "Khitan".

Chutian can also be regarded as retaining the last bit of Khitan population and cultural diversity.

...

In Liaodong, Mingguan led a large army to fight against Wanyan Aguda of the Jurchen tribe, as well as new heroes, Nurhachi fought, heroes on both sides emerged in large numbers, the battle continued, and tens of thousands of people died in battle.

However, this time Mingguan had the upper hand, overpowering Wanyan Aguda and Nurhachi, beating the two heroes of the Jurchen civilization to the point of losing their temper.

Without the Khitan people to restrain them, Mingguan let go of his hands and feet, the Jurchen Legion is really not Mingguan's opponent.

"Chu Zimou claims to be the Great Shanyu, and all the tribes on the grassland recognize his identity as the Great Shanyu? How is it possible..."

Although the princes of the Han Empire could call themselves some official positions, even if they called themselves emperors, it was not impossible, but the official positions they claimed were not effective, not only could not bring benefits, but they would also be targeted.

If Chutian was not recognized by the system, even if he called himself the Great Chanyu, he would not be respected by the various tribes.

That is to say...

"Could it be that his position as a senior official has been recognized by the system? What kind of opportunity is this?"

Mingguan was keenly aware that Chutian's official position as the Grand Chanyu should be real, not claiming it.

Claiming to be an official is of no use. Hou Jing claimed to be the great general of the universe, but he was easily killed by Chu Tian.

The princes of the Han Empire became kings on the premise of defeating the Mongol Empire and making great military exploits.

"He became the Great Chanyu. With the war potential of Monan and Mobei, he can mobilize 300,000 cavalry from various grasslands, or even more. Now, we can't continue to fight the Jurchens..."

Mingguan was inexplicably impatient.

Originally, Chutian still had a holy-level recruitment order that was useless, but now he has strengthened his control over the prairie to solve his worries. In the upcoming unification war of the Han Empire, it will be even more difficult to clear the pass.

On the opposite side of the Liaodong Army, the Jurchen tribe's army stuck to the mountain and fell into the siege of the Liaodong Army.

The two Jurchen leaders, Wanyan Aguda and Nurhachi, had a dispute in front of the map.

The Liaodong Army has two commanders and many famous generals. They gathered troops from Liaodong, Liaoxi, Xianbei, Wuhuan, Goguryeo, Goryeo, Fuyu, and Huining (Heilongjiang River Basin) to besiege the Jurchen Army. Guan beat.

Wanyan Aguda and Nurhachi were as weak in front of the Liaodong Army as Mao Dun and Shi Le were in front of Chu Tian.

"The Liaodong army is pressing on every step, and our living space is getting smaller and smaller. If we retreat to the mountains and forests, if he blocks it for a long time, at least half of our troops and population will be lost."

Wanyan Aguda looked at his new ally, Nurhachi.

Nurhachi is also a hero-level figure, but he met Li Chengliang who restrained him.

Li Chengliang is in the Mingguan camp, and he can be regarded as an old subordinate of Mingguan. Historically, he was the commander-in-chief of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty. tribe.

Facing Li Chengliang, the pinnacle Nurhachi was also struggling.

"If we can't beat the Liaodong Army, it's better to reconcile with it temporarily. We can even choose to rely on the Liaodong Army, secretly accumulate strength, and wait for the time is right to replace it."

Nurhachi proposed a method of saving the country with a curve when facing a strong enemy.

The Liaodong army is showing its sharpness, and Mingguan is the kind of strong enemy who will fight to the end. He will continue to attack if he fails to achieve his goal. Nurhachi is also a little afraid of being beaten by the Liaodong army, so he encourages Wanyan Aguda to attach himself to the Liaodong army, and then plots secretly .

This is similar to the rise of Houjin.

Wanyan Agu frowned, he was not very willing to attach himself to a prince of the Han Empire who kept suppressing him.

"Poverty leads to change, and change leads to success."

Nurhachi didn't care much.

As long as the goal is achieved, it is not surprising to temporarily endure it.

One hundred and twenty Qinguan finally belonged to Chu, and three thousand Yuejia could swallow Wu.

"King Ming of the Han Empire, General Hussars, send envoys here!"

When Wanyan Aguda had a dispute with Nurhachi, envoys from Mingguan arrived.

Mingguan has seen Nurhachi's compromising nature and tried to make a dangerous attempt.

The reason why it is a dangerous attempt is because of his power, there are too many civilizations.

The power of Mingguan is less stable than that of Chutian.

For the Chutian forces, those who have the official position of "Da Shanyu" and the characteristics of "Tian Khan" stabilize the hearts of nomadic tribes. The boundary between the Central Plains and the grasslands is still relatively obvious.

However, in the territory of Mingguan, Xianbei, Goguryeo, Goryeo, Fuyu, Wuhuan, and Bohai people live mixedly. If the Jurchen tribe is absorbed, Liaodong will become a powder keg.

Mingguan had no choice but to take risks, because he really couldn't find any means to defeat Chutian.

If you want to completely solve the threat posed by these tribes, you have to wait until you enter the customs.

"Mingguan wants to negotiate with us? What is the reason?" Nurhachi heard the meaning of the Liaodong envoy, and his eyes changed, "Could it be related to King Xia's ascension to the throne? Wanyan Aguda, our chance Now that it’s here, we can sit on the ground and raise the price.”

Wanyan Aguda, as an emperor-level figure, quickly understood what Nurhachi meant: "You mean to take advantage of the conflict between the two princes of the Han Empire to fish in troubled waters?"

"That's right, the war between the northern princes of the Han Empire may start soon. That's why they can't wait to solve the future troubles. Now that King Xia has solved his future troubles, the Liaodong Army doesn't want to delay with us. Going on is exactly what I want. If the conditions proposed by King Ming do not meet our requirements, we will continue to contend with them."

Nurhachi realized the chance of survival.

Wanyan Aguda knew that he could bargain with Mingguan, so he moved his mind. Nurhachi's idea was indeed the best choice for the Jurchen tribe: "We need to have our own territory."

Among the Liaodong Army, a group of Murong Xianbei cavalry patrolled the periphery to surround the Jurchen tribe and prevent Wanyan Aguda and Nurhachi from escaping again.

Murong Ba, stop and watch, the war between the Liaodong Army and the Jurchen Tribe has actually stopped for more than a year, and the exchanges of envoys between the two sides do not look like sworn enemies at all.

Beside Murong Ba, there were several other generals from the Murong Xianbei tribe.

Murong Ba already knew that Mingguan was negotiating urgently with the Jurchen tribe: "His Royal Highness King Ming has always hated the Jurchen tribe, and has been attacking Wanyan Aguda for a long time. It can be said that he is a deadly enemy. However, now that the two sides are negotiating peace, it seems that there is no fight."

A Murong Xianbei military general said: "The prosperity of the world is all for profit; the world is full of hustle and bustle, all for profit. Only the word profit is eternal."

Murong Ba pondered for a while: "We Murong Xianbei, are we going to be reduced to an army of servants forever?"

General Murong Xianbei said: "Perhaps we can take advantage of the infighting among the princes of the Han Empire, or even use the Jurchen tribe..."

Murong Ba sighed: "Our tribe has a small population, so it's not easy to find an opportunity. The Liaodong army has a lot of talents, at least two or three people, so they can't be inferior to me."

General Murong Xianbei comforted: "Don't be impatient, there is no unparalleled road. Let's take a step and see a step."

The Liaodong Legion, as well as King Kangxian from Koryo, the founder of the Lee Dynasty, and Li Chenggui, his Koryo archers, fought for Mingguan many times and made illustrious military exploits.

Koryo archers dare not say that their combat effectiveness is amazing, but they can continuously obtain supplies from Koryo. For the Liaodong Army, Li Chenggui's position is indispensable.

"Ming Wang promised that once he proclaims himself emperor, he can make me King of Korea. Now my status is that of Yizhou Marquis."

Li Chenggui is patiently waiting for Mingguan to become emperor.

According to Mingguan's promise to him, at present Mingguan is only a king, not an emperor, and he cannot be crowned king by his generals. When he becomes emperor, he can divide the Goryeo Kingdom into Li Chenggui, and regard him as the King of Korea to govern the Goryeo Kingdom .

Li Chenggui believes that Mingguan will not break his promise, so he is quite loyal to Mingguan, and the two have common interests.

A Koryo general reported to Li Chenggui: "General, the Jurchens seem to be negotiating with His Royal Highness King Ming."

"Even our Koryo country is no match for King Ming, and the Jurchen tribe is nothing to worry about. They must be powerless to resist, so they chose to surrender."

Li Chenggui disagrees.

In the Liaodong Army, each general has a complicated history and has his own thoughts.

Mingguan also has Eight Banners generals Dorgon and Aobai under his command. They have a natural affection for Nurhachi. In the battle with Nurhachi, Mingguan deliberately ignored them. Generals, crusade against Nurhachi.

Dorgon and Obai went to deal with Wanyan Aguda.

Now, if Nurhachi chooses to be soft and attached, then the attitudes of Dorgon and Obai will be very ambiguous.

"The Liaodong Legion is unstable."

Yao Guangxiao, the black-clothed prime minister who is the military adviser of the Liaodong Army, has noticed that there are mixed fish and dragons in the Liaodong Army.

Murong Ba of the Murong Xianbei Tribe, Li Chenggui of the Goryeo Kingdom, Dorgon of the Jurchen Tribe, Ulji Wende of the Goguryeo Kingdom, Ta Dun of the Wuhuan Tribe...

These are unstable factors.

Yao Guangxiao worked hard to maintain a dangerous balance with Mingguan, using the power of various tribes to check and balance.

"The Liaodong Legion already has too many tribes."

Not only Yao Guangxiao, but the legendary hero of Goguryeo and Ulchi Moondeok who defeated the Sui army also realized the hidden dangers of the Liaodong army.

Among all the people in the Liaodong Army, Mingguan was undoubtedly very clear about how dangerous it would be if a force merged with so many unstable figures, once conflicts broke out.

"Chu Zimou, I don't want to do this either, but you have become the Great Chanyu...I have to do this..."

Among the three great princes in the north, Lao Qin is calm and has a solid territory; Chu Tian is aggressive and has the most troops; Ming Guan is fierce but the most unstable. His power is like a powder keg. spread to other princes.

Koryo State, Jeju Island, Yu Yunwen, the governor of the navy, was ordered to come here again, and summoned Zheng Zhilong and Li Sunchen: "My lord has an order to order our navy to build large ships in Jeju Island and Dongnae County, Qingzhou. division size."

As a great pirate, Zheng Zhilong knew what it meant for Chutian to build ships in these two places: "It seems that my lord wants to prepare for the future conquest of Liaodong and Goryeo."

Yu Yunwen said: "Not only Liaodong and Korea, but also Dongying. In the past ten years, our navy has not made any military achievements except for capturing Jeju Island and doing business with Dongying."

"you do not say!"

Zheng Zhilong got angry when he mentioned this.

As a powerful continental civilization, the Han Empire had very few places where naval forces could use their abilities.

Since the establishment of the Fubo Legion, there have been only two large-scale operations.
