The first thousand two hundred and nineteen chapters are watching the play
Genghis Khan certainly wouldn't be as impulsive as Mu Huali, and said in a deep voice: "There is still some time before winter begins, and there is still time to send envoys, so there is no need to rush for a moment."
This is a proposal that changed to Tolei.
Then, Genghis Khan said: "Even if we are polite first and then soldiers, we must prepare in advance. In this attack on Xixia, Mu Huali tribe will be the main force and Tolei tribe will cooperate."
After conquering the Western Turkic Khanate, the Mongolian Empire had a total of 1.8 million troops, divided into nine units, each with 200,000 troops, distributed throughout the Mongolian grasslands.
The nine armies, Genghis Khan led a personal army, stationed in the royal cities of Hala, Lin, Zhebe, Zhelem, Subutai and Hubilai, all served in the Khan's personal army.
In addition to the personal army, the remaining eight divisions were led by the four heroes Borshu, Mu Huali, Chi Lao Wen and Borhu, along with the four sons Shuchi, Chagatai, Ogedei and Torre.
Borshu, Chilaowen and Ogedei three tribes stationed in the Khanate of the Ogedei. The Shuchi tribe was stationed in the northern border, the Chagatai tribe and the Borhu tribe were stationed in the eastern border, and the Tolei tribe and Muhuali tribe were stationed in the southern border.
The four princes each guard one side.
Therefore, when he went south this time, Genghis Khan would discuss matters with Mu Huali and Tolei.
Among the 1.8 million troops, except for the Khan's personal army, only half of the remaining eight troops are permanent troops, and the rest are recruited during wartime and go home for grazing in peacetime.
"yes!"
After receiving the order, Mu Huali was overjoyed.
Xixia was originally a place for four battles, with strong people and a huge army of 500,000. It was really not an opponent to be underestimated, so Genghis Khan used two armies in one breath.
In contrast, although the Tubo dynasty of the neighboring country had a wider territory, the total force was only 400,000, which was not as good as the Xixia.
Even so, Mu Huali is still full of confidence.
No matter how strong the Western Xia army is, only by its combat power, it is still not as good as the Mongolian Iron Cavalry.
…………
On November 18, the Mongol Empire sent envoys to Xixia.
The messenger's tone was very tough. Within one month of Xixia, he would provide 60 million units of food. Otherwise, he would have to fight and look for it carefully.
Sixty million units of food are enough for one million people to use for two months.
If you save some food and supplement it with meat, you can basically allow the Mongolian Empire to survive this winter. Even if there is a difference, it will be only a few, so you won’t be hungry all over the ground.
The Mongolians also wanted the lion to speak loudly, but the land in Xixia was limited, so they had to peel off 60 million units of grain. No matter how much it was, they could only force Xixia to death.
No one can live comfortably this winter.
In line with the words of the envoy, the Mongolian general Mu Huali led 200,000 Mongolian cavalry from the headquarters to head south, lined up on the border of Xixia, and came in full force.
At the same time, the Ogedei Khanate sent an envoy to the Tubo Dynasty and made the same request, intending to force the Tubo Dynasty to supply food, otherwise it would cause troops to invade.
As soon as the news came out, Qin, Xia and Zhou dynasties strengthened border patrols.
In the land of China, the war is rising again.
…………
Xingqing Prefecture, Xixia Royal Palace.
Li Yuanhao's face was gloomy and terrible. The Mongolian Empire asked for 60 million units of food, which was basically the life of Xixia. If it really wanted to offer sacrifices, the people of Xixia would have to go hungry.
This is not the worst.
The Mongols have always had a surprising appetite. If Xixia obediently offered sacrifices this time, it would be impossible for the Mongol Empire to come and ask for it again next time. In this way, it would only make the strong stronger and the weaker.
Without food support, how could Xixia gain a foothold in the wilderness?
"Your Majesty, you must not give this food!" The person who spoke was General Yeli Wangrong. This man and his brother Yeli Yuqi were divided into the left and right wing troops, which was the Western Xia Shuangzhu Kingdom.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Yeli Yuqi followed and persuaded, "Once we offer sacrifices, we will become vassals of the Mongol Empire. What is the prestige? At worst, we can have a fight with them."
Li Yuanhao said with a black face: "Mongolian Iron Cavalry is invincible, can you win?"
Yeli was dissatisfied when he met a geek. "In history, we fought against the Song Dynasty in the south and resisted the Liao and Jin in the north, and had fought several battles with the Mongols. How could we ever be afraid of who?"
The Xixia army was extremely brave and indeed had the capital to be proud.
Yeli Wangrong followed and said, "Your Majesty, it's winter coming, and our army does not need to win. As long as we drag the Mongolian army and wait for it, we will retreat even if the cold winter comes."
These words made Li Yuanhao feel moved.
"As soon as the cold winter comes, Mongolia has a shortage of food. It depends on how they survive this winter. When we wait for the coming year, I am afraid that Daxia will take the lead in attacking Mongolia without our efforts." Yeli Wangrong said.
Li Yuanhao's eyes lit up and he finally made up his mind.
"Okay, that's it. You'll be fined immediately and ready to go to war at any time."
"promise!"
The Yeli Wangrong brothers looked at each other and were very excited.
…………
The next day, the Western Xia Emperor Li Yuanhao replied to the Mongolian envoy, saying that although the land of Xixia is small and the food is thin, given the friendship between the two countries, he is still willing to borrow 10 million units of grain to the Mongolian Empire.
There are no more, so the empire can understand it.
Genghis Khan received the revenge and was reluctant to talk nonsense. He directly ordered Mu Huali and Tolei to immediately lead the troops south, and even made a bold statement: "What we want this time is not 60 million units of grain, but the entire Xixia."
Li Yuanhao's theory of borrowing grain was understood by Genghis Khan as a humiliation of Mongolia, so how can he not be angry?
For a moment, wolf smoke broke out again in the northwest.
Whether for the Mongol Empire or the Xixia, this is a life-and-death battle. There is no way to retreat, no one can afford to lose, and they must do their best.
In order to resist the Mongolian cavalry, Xixia almost poured out all the troops across the country and was arranged in the northern border. If the Daxia army took advantage of the opportunity, Xixia would definitely not be able to withstand it.
Li Yuanhao bet that King Xia would not be so despicable.
Ouyang Shuo really won't take advantage of others' danger. He just sits in Shanhai City and looks at the northwest coldly. No matter who wins and who loses in this battle, it will be beneficial to Daxia.
In a blink of an eye, a week passed.
During this period, the Wolf Warrior led the reorganized South American Corps and officially embarked on the South American land through the teleportation array of Shanhaicheng, starting a legendary journey.
Zhou Haichen, the governor of Ecuador, also brought a group of civil servants to the post at the same time.
In addition, the Pacific Fleet will also transport a large amount of war materials to Ecuador to reinforce, assist the South American Corps and gain a foothold in Ecuador.
Only by building the fortress can we talk about foreign wars.
Shanhaiwei, commanded by the Black Snake, also took this opportunity to use the Ecuador County fulcrum as a base to establish the Americas Division to make up for the last shortcomings of the global intelligence system.
The secret spies of Shanhaiwei will take the fulcrum city as the center, go north and south to inquire about the information of the dynasties.
The global intelligence network in Daxia has been fully launched at this point.
…………
Dawson Dynasty, Free City.
It was not until the Great Xia army appeared in the fulcrum city that Jack realized that the Indian Empire had actually ceded the Ecuador region to Daxia, and Daxia actually accepted it calmly.
"Daxia is too arrogant and actually extends its tentacles into the American continent."
Although the Dawson Dynasty had not even settled the North American continent, Jack had long regarded the American continent as his backyard and could not be touched by anyone.
Daxia's intervention obviously made Jack very dissatisfied.
Although he was dissatisfied, Jack did not dare to act rashly. Although the Silver Hand was dominant in the European continent, he did not have any advantage in the Americas.
Especially in North America, the Maple Leaf Dynasty and the Mayan Dynasty are both azure badge camps.
Even if the two camps do not break up, Jack will find excuses to kill these two dynasties, unify the North American continent, and win a strong base.
In this case, Jack didn't want to be the first to stand out with Daxia.
"Come!"
"exist!"
"The command of the army stationed in Colombia to stop moving south and instead prepare to attack Venezuela in the east."
"yes!"
Jack is really smart and decisive. He wants to take the lead in taking Venezuela before Daxia has gained a foothold in South America, strengthen the Dawson dynasty's existence in South America, and win the lead.
"I want to see, just with a small place like Ecuador, how Daxia is making waves in South America." Jack suddenly became calm and confident.
