Chapter 1024: Drinking Horses on the Yangtze River

Chapter 1024 Drinking Ma Changjiang
The climate of the Central Plains seems to make people from the grassland feel more uncomfortable. The more they go southeast, the more they are in a completely different environment from the grassland, the more uncomfortable it makes people feel from the heart to the body. Shanjiang Road is relatively the best place in the northwest region. Although Mangdang Mountain blocks some of the warm winds coming from the south, the Yishui in the east also makes the climate moist.
The men of the Mongol Yuan who were used to galloping against the wind on the grassland seemed a little sluggish after arriving at Shanjiang Road. The busiest thing in the army was the doctors who came with the army. The incompatibility of the water and land made many soldiers lose their ability to fight. Fortunately, Mengge had always been worried that the large-scale loss of war horses did not occur, because the disease of putting war horses to death was not spread.
Because I felt stuffy, Meng Ge's golden armor had already been removed. Wearing a single dress, I still felt a little stuffy than the grassland. I used to the endless grassland, and now I can't see it for three or five miles. Perhaps the biggest reason for this stuffy feeling is this.
However, the beauty of mountains, rivers and towns seen on the road also makes people feel a little moved.
"This is just the most exhausting place in the Sui Dynasty. If you go further east and south, it is said that the scenery is not only beautiful and picturesque, but also a land of fish and rice."
Meng Ge pointed to the front and smiled and said, "To be honest, if the Sui people were not in chaos, even if I had arrived here smoothly in my personal expedition, I would never have thought of it before. The ancestors of all generations had thought of leading troops into the Central Plains to drink horses and Yangtze River, but because of our Meng Yuaner Lang's discomfort with the climate of the Central Plains and the difficulty of conquering cities without infantry, he had never been able to make a journey."
In the Mongolian Yuan, except for the Great Khan, the highest status was General Wangting. General Wangting was usually the direct relatives of the Khan, either his brothers or his descendants, which was equivalent to the princes among the Han people. Therefore, since the founding of the Mongolian Yuan, basically all the generals of Wangting came from the Kuoke Taimeng family.
At this time, sitting below Mengge, the two sides were separated by several important generals of this Eastern Expedition, four of which were General Wangting with the surname Kuoke Taimeng, and one was General Black Mountain. However, just before the Eastern Expedition, Mengge issued an order to appoint General Black Mountain Gai She as General Wangting, which also made Gai She the first general Wangting of the surname of the Mongolian Yuan.
"Khan, it's good here, but it always seems a bit cramped than going to the grassland. My subordinates still think it's better on the grassland, and they're running wildly, and they're endless. Here, mountains, rivers, towns are gathered together, and there's not even a place where you can run horses. On the grassland, the army can spread out and advance. However, in the Central Plains, the march can only follow the road. When encountering dangerous passes, the team has to lengthen a line, which is too slow."
Kuoke Tai Mengchuan, one of the generals of the royal court, said.
In terms of age, Kuoketai Mengchuan is the largest among the generals of Wangting. He is Mengge's biological uncle and has a strong influence in the Mongolian Yuan.
The general Wangting who came with the army this time included Gai She, totaling nine. In addition to these five people, there were four of them who should have already taken their troops to Hexi Road. After entering the northwest, Mengge decided to divide his troops and let the general Wangting Queke Taimenglie, who was familiar with the northwest, be the main general. The other three Wangting generals assisted him to lead his troops eastward and head straight to Hedong Road. On the other side, Mengge personally led the way, walking on the side of Shanjiang Road, intending to avoid the Black Flag Army's troops and navy in Hexi Road, cross Yishui in Ping'an County, and enter Jiangbei Road.
The four generals of the royal court named Quetemon who followed Mengge this time, in addition to Quetemonchuan, there was also the youngest general of the royal court, Quetemondobe. His father died in battle when he led his army to attack Daxueshan, so Mengge specifically allowed him to inherit the title of General Wangting. You should know that the biggest difference between General Wangting in the Mongol Yuan and Prince of Han is that General Wangting was not hereditary.
Glory is only for one lifetime. In the history of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, I don’t know how many of the fathers were the generals of the royal court who declined in the next generation.
The other two, one is Queke Taimeng Xueya, and the other is Queke Taimeng Qingshui. The former is 36 years old this year, and was promoted because of his outstanding military achievements in the war against the Buddha Sect. The latter is 41 years old this year, and is the brother of Mengge. Qingshui's father failed in the game of fighting for the position of Khan with Mengge's father, and eventually died of depression. In order to win over their lineage and inherit the throne of Khan, Mengge named Qingshui as General of the Royal Court.
Among these four people, the family of Kuoketai Meng's blood-teeth is the weakest, after all, he was promoted. However, he had a wolf cavalry he personally trained, and he made many great achievements in the war against the Buddha Sect. Mengge attached great importance to this team.
The Mongolian Yuan wolf cavalry is just a general term, and the regular cavalry of each tribe are called the wolf cavalry. Only the Royal Court wolf cavalry is the direct force of the Kuoke Taimeng family. It is also the best equipment and quality among all the Mongolian Yuan armies.
It seems that there are only one outsider sitting here.
He is General Gai She, Montenegro.
...
...
Gai She also had royal blood flowing, but the country established by his ancestors was destroyed by the Mongol Yuan a long time ago. Because their nation was too strong, the Golden Family did not even dare to implement the strategy that had been successfully invaded, which was to try to reduce the number of males in the ruling tribe.
The Montenegro region is too far from the royal court, and the control of the Quakedemon family is not very strong in the Montenegro. Therefore, the Montenegro royal court has always adopted a policy of mercy for people in the Montenegro region.
"No matter how tired or stuffy this place is, I don't know how much richer it is than the most abundant pasture."
Gai She said in a low tone, not caring about how hostile the generals named Kuoke Taimeng were to him. Gai She even enjoyed this hostility, because this hostility just showed his weight. If he was an insignificant person, then those guys on the opposite side who thought he was noble in blood would never look at him directly.
“Richer than the grassland?”
Don’t look down on Gai She the most, and relying on her youthful spirit, there is no fear of Gai She: “General Gai She, however, tell me, where is the rich here?”
"I don't know where it is rich, but I know how poor the grassland is."
Gai She didn't even look at him, and replied faintly: "You think the grassland is rich, so I ask you, what else is there in the grassland besides grassland, horses, cattle and sheep?"
"besides……"
Don't open your mouth, but it was a moment of confusion. His mouth opened for two minutes, but he couldn't think of anything else worth boasting on the grassland. Only then did he wake up and found that there were really only these things on the grassland. But he refused to accept it, glared at Gai She and stopped talking.
"The most beautiful thing on the grassland is just a grassland with herds of cattle and sheep. But here, there are famous mountains and rivers, cities and passes, plains and water towns, gentle women, and piles of gold and silver. The gorgeousness of the Han people's brocade clothes is no better than the world. The profound writings of the Han people are no better than the world. The elegance of the Han people is no better than the world."
Gai She said coldly: "I think the grassland is the most beautiful place because my vision is too small."
Meng Ge looked at Duoduo and smiled and said, "What Gai She said is not without reason, but the grassland is naturally not so unbearable. It is precisely because of the plump grassland that wolves-like warriors have been nurtured and you outstanding generals have been cultivated. The Han people do have many things that make people feel amazing, and there are many things that are worth learning from, but they cannot belittle themselves."
Gai She nodded slightly: "What the Khan said is that the ministers just think that some people's eyes are too close. There was a copper coin before one step. He saw it and felt like he had found a treasure. But he could not see a piece of silver outside three steps, nor a mountain of gold outside five steps. So he could only hold that copper coin forever and think that he was the richest person in the world."
"Who are you talking about!"
Duobi stood up and asked angrily.
Gai She ignored him at all, stood up and hugged Mengge and fisted: "Khan, I want to go to the front to take a look. Although Ping'an County is not very big, it is the county seat of Ping'an County after all, and the resistance of the Han people will not be very weak. This is a rare opportunity to train troops. Only by making our soldiers more familiar with how to capture the city can we go further in the Central Plains."
Mengge knew that his tribesmen were disliked by Gai She, so he agreed to Gai She's request: "Go and let the warriors of the Black Mountain Army become stronger in the war with the Han people. The men from the deepest part of the grassland polish your scimitar with the blood of the enemy."
"yes"
The head is hanged, and the right arm is lying across the chest to salute.
"Khan, there's one thing you're time to think about."
Gai She, who walked to the entrance of the tent, suddenly stopped again, looked back at Mengge and said, "After passing Ping'an County, it is Yishui. It has not rained for the past month. This is good news for crossing the river. We do not have ships, and the merchant ships at the ferry of Ping'an County fled early. It is far from enough to cross the river and lean against the small boats of the fishermen in Ping'an County. There are many people around you now who are idle. If the knife in their hands is already rusted, you can sharpen the knife again by cutting down trees."
Mengge frowned slightly. Gai She's proposal did make sense, but the way he spoke was uncomfortable.
"Abuse"
Meng Chuan stood up and looked at Gai She and said, "If you think the scimitar on my waist is rusty, do you want me to pull it out and show you?"
Gaisa replied coldly: "If your scimitar can only be pulled out when facing the same grassland people, I can't think of any words to praise your courage. If you can only see my disrespect for you but not see where you are not worthy of respect, then you will always be a loser."
He looked at Mengge: "I always respect you, because you are a great leader. You dare to start a war against the Buddha Sect. This alone makes me feel respectful. I am willing to walk in front of your war horse and pave the road, and I am willing to draw my sword in the direction of your fingers. But Your Majesty, it is not difficult to drink the Yangtze River..."
He said word by word: "If you want, your people can even drink horses for you on the vast seaside in the extreme east of the mainland. The difficulty is not to capture somewhere, but to occupy somewhere forever. The Han people have so many good things that we not only want to grab them, but also to become our own. And your subordinates obviously haven't thought of these... So, I'm a little worried."
After saying this, he turned around and walked out of the tent.
"What is he!"
Don't scold me more.
