Under Taiyuan City, a large army was on the verge of war. Bunches of bonfires burning everywhere have been extinguished one after another.

In the cold wind in the early morning, Shi Tianze, who had fought for the Great Mongolia for half his life and made countless contributions, was standing on the wall of the Tang army camp in the south of Taiyuan City, staring at the Mongolian army camp less than three miles away.

How did it become like this?

I am obviously a loyal minister of the Great Mongolian and served the Khan of the Five Dynasties. How come I have become the irreconcilable enemy of the Great Mongolian? This life is really impermanent!

But his new master, the Emperor Li Yan of the Tang Dynasty, seemed not to be the true emperor...

Although Li Yu acted quite well and looked like a wise ruler in the Central Plains, since ancient times, the strong soldiers and strong horses were finally won. Now among the three kingdoms of Tang, Yuan and Ming dynasties, Chen Ming is the first, followed by Meng Yuan and Li Tang is the weakest.

Since ancient times, there is no reason why the weakest soldiers are the emperor? It seems that I may have boarded the wrong ship!

But even if you know that you got on the wrong ship, you can only fight now! You have to force the Mongols to retreat first, live in Hedong, and then talk about other things. When you are in troubled times, as long as you have troops and territory, you will never worry about having no way out. As for Li Yu... doesn't he want to return to Yidu? Then let's see if Kublai Khan is willing to let him go back? In short, he will not go to Yidu!

The sound of footsteps sounded behind him. When he looked back, he saw that it was Shi Zhen, the bravest and most aggressive among the Shi family generals.

"Shisanlang, why are you doing here? There is nothing to watch. The leader will always be from your Shi Family Iron Army. Fight well. If you don't defeat the Mongolians, we will all die in Taiyuan... The weather is getting colder and colder. It is estimated that it will snow, and it will be difficult for each entrance of Taihang Mountain to leave. In this way, there will always be a stable winter."

Shi Zhen smiled bitterly: "I'm thinking about what happened to Guo Zhonghe, who was the second tiger of the Shi family with me, is now. He heard that the thousands of iron troops he brought to the Western Regions have been tempered. If he was also in Taiyuan, he would be very sure today."

Shi Tianze said, "I heard that he was sent by Kublai Khan to guard Pingluan... Zhonghe seems loyal and cunning, and will not be able to work hard in Pingluan. Most of them have already defected to Chen Ming! Unfortunately, the thousands of iron troops are all surnamed Chen... But this is also a way!"

Shi Tianze shook his head: "I won't talk about this anymore. Anyway, I have to win the battle in front of me. Otherwise, the Shi family will be gone... Shisanlang, today it depends on your ability. If you have any ideas, please mention it now! Even if you want me, Shi Tianze's concubine, is the same!"

Shi Zhen sneered: "Is there a woman who is tired of playing with me? I am not picky about food. As long as I am only 20 years old, don't lose weight or have a few pounds of meat... Give me three or five of them at will!"

Shi Tianze shook his head, "I knew you were so good... I have prepared it for you boy, just use it in your tent. But I have to keep my strength to kill the enemy!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I Shizhen is the more we grow stronger!"

At this time, Li Yu had already climbed the Kaiyuan Gate Tower in the south of Taiyuan City. The terrain around Taiyuan City was that the east and west waters were narrow in the north and wide in the south. Dongshan was the place where Yan Laoxi built the four major fortresses in Dongshan in later generations. The Mongols could line up the mountain. If the situation was not good, they would retreat to the mountain. Li Yu would not choose this area as a breakthrough. The Fen River was nothing to fight, and the Mongolians' positions were on the opposite bank of the river. As for the north of the city, there was no mountains or rivers, but the terrain was too narrow, and the long moats of the Mongolians had been basically dug. It was not conducive to the Tang army's breakthrough.

Only the south of the city is wide enough, and the Mongolian trenches have not been dug well, which is just right for a large army to set up and fight!

"Long live! Long live! Long live!"

Cheers suddenly sounded from the Tang army camps and camps in the city and outside the city. This was the reaction of the soldiers of the Tang army guards after learning that the Tang Dynasty also had to perform the sir-jeweled system! The sir-jeweled system invented by Chen Dexing is undoubtedly the greatest preferential treatment for soldiers. This preferential treatment is not only limited to a few officers, but also benefits subordinate soldiers. Naturally, it is more attractive to soldiers.

Of course, the sirens system is extremely beneficial to soldiers, so it is very unfavorable to other classes, especially the intellectuals of the landlord class. Therefore, although Li Yan and the important officials of the Eastern Tang Dynasty knew the benefits of the sirens system, they still chose the sirens system.

However, now his life is in custody, and Li Yan and Wang Wentong don’t care about the long term. If they weren’t good at pretending to be god, Li Yan might have come to earth now!

"Okay, okay! Just be as morale as possible!" Li Yu turned around and smiled at Wang Wen Tong, "With this kind of morale, today's battle, our Tang Dynasty will surely win!"

Wang Wen crossed his hands and said, "I congratulate you on behalf of the emperor!" He said congratulations, but he was not optimistic at all. Because the current situation is very obvious, Meng Yuan did not dare to meet Chen Ming, but went directly to the Tang Dynasty! The result of the Tang and Yuan fight was probably both sides of the loss, and Chen Ming was finally a bargain... It seems that he has to think of some ways to make Chen Dexing not feel too comfortable!

...

Outside Taiyuan City, there was also tension and disturbance in the camp of Batulu and Wang Tiange.

"Quick! Put on armor quickly! Why!? Didn't you hear the thief Tang yelling? It's going to fight!"

"The Khan's will, exchange a Tang thief's head for 50 taels of treasure money! When the Taiyuan City is broken, let everyone be happy! No knife sealing on 10 days! It's a full 10 days!"

The Mongol General who was responsible for commanding the besieging Taiyuan was Mu Huali's grandson, and Kublai Khan's most trusted general Batulu. In addition, Wang Tiange, the head of the Wang family in Gongchang, served as the deputy general of Batulu, and the 10,000 troops of the Wang family will be the first in today's battle.

The Wang family is the Han Marquis in Longyou. The biggest difference between the Han Marquis in the Central Plains is that their nest is on the western edge of the Han land in the north. The Great Mongolia is in Yanyun. If Shanxi and Henan are defeated, they can easily kill the women and children of the Wang family in Gongchang!

Therefore, the Wang family was the most loyal to Mongolia among all Han marquis. They even abandoned their identity as Han people and climbed to the Mongolian Wanggu tribe, and were considered Mongolians. However, their identity as Mongolians has never been fully recognized by the great khans of all dynasties of Mongolia... The Mongolians admitted that Wang Tiange, the head of the Wang family, was a Mongolian, but the Wang family in Gongchang had 20,000 households, so it would be too many to be considered Mongolians.

However, Kublai Khan has now agreed to Brother Wang Tian. After the battle is over, the Wang family in Gongchang will be a Mongolian. Not only can the Wang family be a first-class Mongolian, but the Wang family can also be considered a Mongolian. Brother Wang Tian and his younger brother Wang Liangchen are both named the head of the Mongolian households!

What a great benefit it would be if two Mongolian households were placed in the original history! But now, the Great Mongolia is a bit overwhelming. It is hard to say whether it is a blessing or a disaster to be a Mongolian person!

"Shunfu, the troops were scattered across Taiyuan and could not be concentrated for a few hours. There was only a team of ten thousand people led by you and me in the south. Today's headline is from Wang Gu's troops!"

Batulu also has a deep understanding of Kublai Khan's intention to win over the Wang family. The Wang family is already one of the few more reliable traitors in the hands of Great Mongolia. What else can't be given to a Mongolian identity? Since they have already given them, what's the difference between early and late?

When Wang Tiange heard that Batulu directly called the Wang family the Wang Gu tribe, his eyes lit up: "Marshal Du, can you inform the entire army of this good news to boost morale?"

"Okay, Li Ni doesn't know how to use his morale to boost his morale, and we can't lose our prestige. Now let's tell the generals of the Wang family that they are now high-ranking Mongolians!"

Batulu smiled and nodded, grabbed the saddle, flew onto the horse, and behind him, the nine white flags made of nine Sulu ingot spears were raised high. This was the big flag that Genghis Khan gave to his grandfather Mu Huali. Once upon a time, wherever the big flag was heading, the iron hooves of the Great Mongolian would step on, and the entire Central Plains were trembling in front of it!

...

When the nine-white flag symbolizing the Mongolian Khan was raised high under the city of Taiyuan, there was no trace of the nine-white flag behind the Mongolian Khan Kublai Khan himself. Not only was there no nine-white flag, but even the ordinary Mongolian white battle flag was not launched. The 55,000 army was marching on the desolate North China plain. Thousands of horse-striking raids have been scattered to control the battlefield and obscured the movements of the Mongolian army.

The army led by Kublai Khan quietly left the camp last night. Now it has crossed the Hutuo River from the shoals downstream and is now advancing northward. The target of the 55,000 army is of course not just a thousand Han refugees, but Chen Dexing himself... or the "30,000 army" under the banner of Chen Dexing.

Kublai Khan, the strong camp of the Beiming Army, dared not to attack the Beiming army. This was almost like sending his head to the Beiming thunder and cannons!

However, the Northern Ming army, which was attacking on the Great Plains, had some chance of winning. If Chen Dexing could still be caught off guard, they might even receive unexpected results.

So Kublai Khan's plan was to use a unit (5 thousand-man teams) to attack the retreating refugee team, and then allow the Ming army, who escorted the refugees, to send people to the Ming army camp on the north bank of the Hutuo River to seek help.

Kublai Khan's main force fought against the Northern Ming army who went north to rescue the Northern Ming army on the Great Plain... If the Northern Ming army did not scan the 30,000 people to go north!

However, Kublai Khan probably didn't expect that last night, his opponent Chen Dexing also led 9,000 Northern Ming troops to quietly leave the camp on the north bank of the Hutuo River, leaving only a leader-led Zhenghei Banner horse team bluffing.

In order to avoid the Mongols' sentry, his army of over 10,000 advanced north along the edge of the Taihang Mountains, and also stopped and sent his black flag horse team to protect the army.
