Chapter 1275

After arriving in Yuandadu, Aibuhua raced around the newly built capital city, feeling deeply moved by its magnificence.

"Bigger than Hara and Lin, this is the most spectacular city in the world today!"

Yue Naihe, who was by his side, looked up and sighed instead.

The weather in September has already started to get cold, and with this sigh, the white air coming out of his mouth can be clearly seen.

Aibuhua said: "Do you remember the battle of Ximu Tunao'er? Ali Buge almost attacked Kaiping City, but Da Khan still defeated him. It's the same this time. You see, it is possible to build such a huge city Great Khan, what enemy cannot be defeated?"

"My lord, have you forgotten the battle of Helan Mountain?"

"Stop talking, I'm from the Golden Family."

Ai Buhua turned her head, and warned Yue Naihe somewhat sternly.

"Yes."

"Go into the city."

As the horse's hooves stepped across the frosty grass, Yue Naihe turned his head and glanced south.

He didn't see Tang Jun, but he could already feel the atmosphere of soldiers approaching the city.

And on the tower, Kublai Khan was personally looking at the soldiers and horses brought by Aibuhua.

The binoculars zoomed in on the picture, and a cavalryman came into view.

This is a child about thirteen or fourteen years old, with braided hair on both sides, dressed as a herdsman, without armor, only a small bow hanging on his back.

Kublai Khan moved the telescope slightly to make sure he didn't see the scimitar hanging immediately.

After watching for a while, I saw that there were many such children in the soldiers and horses brought by Aibuhua. Besides, there were also many old herdsmen.

"Ben Khan heard that Li Xia's conscription, armor, weapons, and even food and salaries are all distributed uniformly."

Liu Bingzhong, who was accompanying him, replied: "When the government military system was implemented in the Central Plains before, weapons and horses were provided by themselves, which could save a lot of military expenses, but the premise was that the government soldiers had land and wealth. The difficulty of the Great Yuan now lies in the years of war and the poverty of the people. "

"What do you think Ben Khan should do?"

"Reuse the Han army." Liu Bingzhong said: "Nowadays, Mongolian soldiers and horses sell their cattle, sheep, and wives, and come to fight with their own weapons. They won the battle but did not get any spoils of war. Naturally, they no longer have the same fighting spirit as before. But your majesty The land can be used as spoils of war to reward the Han army. Therefore, it is only by practicing the Han law that His Majesty can defeat Li Xia..."

Kublai Khan didn't know if he was listening. After a while, he waved his hand and signaled Liu Bingzhong to back down.

After a while, Namuhan rushed over.

"Father Khan, I have already arranged for Aibuhua and told him to come to the banquet later."

Speaking of this, Na Muhan showed a sneer, and said: "There is one more thing, there is a coward under Aibuhua's subordinates who said that Yue Naihe often persuades Aibuhua to surrender to Li Xia..."

~~
Night falls.

The bonfire made the tent warm, and when the kumiss was filled, Na Muhan drank it down and hiccupped: "Who said Tang Jun won? Nonsense! I'll tell you what's going on."

He stood up and pointed to the south, saying: "Those Han princes, you can't believe it!"

Ai Buhua raised her head and waited for a while, but didn't hear the words behind.

"It's that simple." Namuhan said: "The current situation is only because of the betrayal of the Han princes. And the iron cavalry of the Great Mongolia has not yet begun to let them know what is powerful."

"I know this is the case. Before entering the city, I also said that Da Khan will defeat Li Xia just like he defeated brother Alibu."

Namuhan smiled and said, "But we can no longer trust the Han people."

Ai Buhua raised her wine glass and said, "Only our Golden Family can be trusted."

Na Muhan was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a big smile, and said again: "Father Khan said, we will marry you and Yuelie at the end of this month, then we will be a family."

"We were originally a family."

"Yes, yes." Na Muhan nodded again, and said: "Since we are a family, you can prepare for the wedding with peace of mind, and I will command the soldiers and horses of Wang Gu's department."

This time it was Aibuhua who was taken aback, and said: "I hope to fight Tang Jun again, wash away the shame in Helan Mountain, and make a contribution to the Great Khan."

The smile on Muhan's face subsided a little, and he walked to Aibuhua with the wine in his hand, patted his shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, I'm not trying to take your power, I've said it all, I want to You can get married with peace of mind."

……

After the banquet, Aibuhua finally felt a little displeasure.

He left the tent, got on his horse, and walked together with Yue Nai, saying: "It seems that Muhan doesn't trust me that much anymore."

Now that he has arrived in Dadu, Yue Naihe no longer persuades him, and comforts him: "Maybe it is the betrayal of the Han princes, which makes Da Khan a little vigilant."

"But I'm not Shihou!"

Suddenly a group of cavalry ran past with torches in front of them.

Ai Buhua quickly pulled the rein to stop the horse.

"Bah!"

With a neigh, Yue Naihe's horse suddenly went mad for some reason, and rushed forward.

"Hold him!"

In an instant, Yue Naihe was taken away by the crazy horse and disappeared.

Aibuhua hurriedly led people to chase after him, after chasing for a while, he heard a loud "bang" from a distance, followed by a scream.

He was startled, and when he caught up with him, he saw that Yue Naihe had fallen to the ground.

"Yue Nai He!"

Taking a light with a torch, I suddenly saw a pool of blood on the ground, but it was flowing from the back of Yue Naihe's head, and his entire face was smashed, the entire bridge of the nose was broken, and half of his face was sunken. Bloody.

Ai Buhua turned her head and listened attentively, as if she could still hear the sound of the horse's hooves going away.

"Da da da da..."

~~
Two knights led an empty horse around the empty metropolis, threw the bloody mace on the ground, and returned to Namuhan's tent.

"Your Majesty, it's done."

Namuhan nodded, and murmured: "You say, Ala of the Wanggu tribe suddenly lost his attachment to Genghis Khan, but still retained his own territory and power... What is the difference between that and the Han princes?"

"Wang Gubu is not Han Chinese."

"I think they are more like Han people than Han people. How many farmers do you think can recite poems? Will they give themselves a brand name? Er Xiute."

"My lord, do you want to kill Aibuhua too?"

"What did you kill him for?" Namuhan shook his head, "After Yuelie is married, Father Khan will naturally be able to control Wanggu's tribe."

Speaking of this, he suddenly thought that Aibuhua called herself the Golden Family, and he felt very ridiculous.

The child adopted by Ara Haibeji dares to call himself the grandson of Genghis Khan?
~~
To the south of Yanmen Pass, the Tang army camp.

There were small snow particles falling all over the world, and the camp seemed a little quiet.

Due to the sudden cold weather, most of Tang soldiers stayed in tents.

"Big guy!"

Some soldiers rushed to the watchtower and reported to Liu Yuanli: "General Zhu is here, and he has brought his baggage!"

"Okay, have you brought the cotton armor?!"

"I don't know yet."

Liu Yuanli said: "I'll go meet him."

"Marshal Liu, I'm here!"

There was only a shout from the watchtower, and then the sound of footsteps, Zhu Cheng had already run up the watchtower.

He gave a military salute, and said loudly: "Marshal Liu, the baggage has been unloaded, let the general take a look at Yanmen Pass."

"Just don't knock down my watchtower, do you have cotton armor?"

"Yes! Before Marshal Liu urged, His Majesty has ordered someone to send the cotton armor to Taiyuan."

Liu Yuanli was overjoyed and said, "Good! That's great!"

Zhu Cheng looked at the distant mountains and said, "Damn, the Yuan army will also guard the pass."

"It's the Jin Army who used to guard Yanmen Pass."

"The Kingdom of Jin has been dead for more than 30 years."

"It can be regarded as the prince of the world." Liu Yuanli raised his hand and pointed, and said: "Before the battle of Yeguling, the powerful men in Sanzhou and the surrounding areas contacted Wanyan Chengyu, the commander of the Jin Army, and said that they would be the vanguard and eyes and ears, but Wanyan Chengyu only asked how to retreat. Let's go. The heroes returned disappointed, so they turned to the Mongolian army and became the first batch of princes on the grassland, most of whom were from the Wanggu tribe. After that, the powerful men of Yun and Shuo came to Fumeng."

Zhu Chengdao: "Jin Guo is also a waste."

Liu Yuanli said: "Our army marched in a hurry and did not bring any luggage. When we arrived at Yanmen Pass, the weather suddenly turned cold. Now that the cotton armor has arrived, the next battle will be easier to fight."

"Liu Shuai is sure, but do you need to send some reinforcements from Taiyuan?"

Liu Yuanli raised his hand and said, "Gong Yi's troops are not many, and they still need to guard the cities in Shanxi, so there is no need to transfer them."

As he spoke, he was slightly moved, and said: "The chief general of the Yuan army guarding the Yanmen Pass is called Liu En. His father was originally a general of the Jin army, and later led his troops to the Mongolian army. Liu En is from the same ancestor as me. I have sent someone to Contact him."

"Can you persuade him to surrender?"

"When Mongolia destroyed gold, his father was able to attach money to Mongolia. Now that Tang Dynasty has destroyed Yuan, why can't he belong to Datang?"

Liu Yuanli had a calm personality, so although there was no major battle on the way to attack Shanxi, the speed of taking Shanxi was not slow, with the least casualties and the most captured.

He believes that as long as Liu En can see the situation of the world clearly, he should give up his delusion of continuing to be a prince.

"It's just grass on the wall. The wind direction has changed, so it's time to fall."

……

"Marshal, there is movement at the Yanmen Gate!"

Liu Yuanli raised his binoculars, and saw soldiers of the Yuan army waving flags to this side.

He leaned forward a little, hoping to see whether Liu En was about to surrender.

However, those Yuan soldiers hung up a head, shaking it to this side, demonstrating.

Look at that head, it is the envoy sent by Liu Yuanli.

"Damn! You have eyes but no eyes, you are looking for death!"

Liu Yuanli was furious, turned around and went down the watchtower.

"Pass down the order, since the cotton armor has arrived, attack the city tomorrow!"

~~
In a blink of an eye, it was the end of September.

There has been heavy snowfall over Yanmen Pass.

However, there is not much snow on Guancheng.

There are only scalding blood that keeps flowing out, and corpses that died in battle one after another.

"boom!"

The city wall suddenly shook violently.

"what happened?!"

"Tang Jun used gunpowder to blow up a section to the east..."

"Block it!"

Liu En was furious, and quickly blocked the soldiers and horses again.

As a result, the shouts of the soldiers became more and more panicked.

"The Tang Army has attacked the city!"

"Drive them out!" Liu En ordered: "Set fire!"

"set fire!"

A wall of fire suddenly sprang up from the top of the eastern section of the city, engulfing the soldiers of the Tang army who had climbed onto the top of the city and burning them, but also engulfing the wounded from the Yuan army who had no time to escape.

At this moment, some soldiers hurriedly found Liu En.

"Marshal, Marshal, reinforcements are here!"

"The reinforcements have arrived?" Liu En was overjoyed and asked, "Who is here?"

"Look at the banner, it's the Marshal of Datong."

"I'll meet you personally, and guard the city for me!"

Liu En hurried to Beicheng, looked around for a while, and sure enough, he saw Marshal Datong rushing to the city with his cavalry led by Zhu Er.

After the two sides yelled a few words, Liu En ordered: "Quickly, open the north gate!"

He knew that Zhu Er had been ordered to sneak attack Guanzhong from Yan'an before, and now he was able to rush back to support, obviously because he failed in the attack.

It's not a bad thing for him.

As long as he can hold Yanmen Pass, the big deal is to repeat the old events of Liao and Song, and he can still be a small prince outside the pass.

"Marshal Liu."

As the city gate opened, a row of cavalry rode in, followed by the white-haired and bearded Marshal of the Wang Gu Department, Zhuer.

Liu En greeted him quickly, and said: "The commander-in-chief came just in time. The Tang army is in a hurry to attack the city. Please also ask the commander-in-chief to go out of the city and attack them."

"It's fine to go out of the city." Zhu You said, "But I have to borrow something from Marshal Liu."

"What do you borrow? Why don't we talk about it after the war?"

"Borrow it now."

According to Zhu Er's words, some cavalry rushed to Liu En, and suddenly drew their knives and slashed.

"puff!"

A column of blood spurted out, and one of Liu En's heads fell to the ground.

Looking up to the south of the city, Zhu Er vaguely saw the familiar armor on the top of the city, and said involuntarily, "It's a good thing we came early, if it was later, the Tang army would have broken the city..."
