Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

In this way, Tu Lanlun left the envoy sent by Batu at his house and entertained him with delicious food and drinks, but he never mentioned the engagement.

Hu Lan did this intentionally or unintentionally. He wanted to go and communicate with the envoy and ask about his son's situation on the front line.

But these envoys were all professionally trained, and were told by the Mongolian Khan what to say and what not to say before coming.

The questions asked by Princess Hulan and the Batu envoy's answers were all that Prince Kuolejian was fine over there and everything was fine.

However, this answer did make Princess Hulan a little puzzled. There seemed to be no harm in getting married to the Batu family!

Why is my girl unwilling to live or die? This has left the messenger here for almost half a month.

"Girl! Today I have to tell you what you think about this matter. If you don't want to, just answer it to the messenger. If you are willing, settle the matter and let Batu send his daughter away. Come here. It took more than two years to go back and forth." Princess Hulan came to Tulanlun's room and said.

"Mother! I have inquired about the girl from the Batu family in the past two days. She is only ten years old, much younger than my eldest son! Even if this marriage is successful, it will be five or six years before the girl comes.

We can't let your eldest grandson live without a wife for the past five or six years! Tu Lanlun said.

This boy Batu is several years younger than his husband. His eldest daughter has just turned ten this year. Even if she wants to get married, she will have to wait until she is fifteen.

And five or six years later, we still don’t know what the situation will be like! There are really too many things to consider. The head of the family supports Guyu to become the Great Khan of Mongolia, and he also supports it, but Guyu and Ba are sworn enemies.

After the end of this Western Expedition, relying on the military achievements of the Western Expedition, the Mongolian power will undergo an earth-shaking change.

The confrontation between Batu and Guyu, and even some other Mongolian forces will rise. At this time, it is actually the most correct thing to protect yourself wisely. If there is a marriage with the Batu family. So what would Guiyou think? What would the Chagatai family think? What would the current Mongolian Khan Ogedai think?
The leader on the front line couldn't refuse Badu directly, so he kicked the ball to himself. After all, they have been married for so many years, and Tu Lanlun still knows exactly what Zhang Yong wants to do.

Coupled with the death of his younger brother, Tu Lanlun was firmly opposed to this marriage. His original plan was to keep the envoy here for half a year and then think of an excuse to evade it.

Then let him return to the grassland. By then, the Western Expedition will basically be over, and Batu and his husband should not have any major conflicts.

"If the eldest son can't make it, what about your little one? He's only ten years old this year! Even Xiaoyun's girl can do it. We have so many little ones in our family! Can't we choose one of the right age?" Princess Hulan said.

"Mom! What are you thinking? It's not as easy as you think. There are many doorways here. Let me tell you about them!" In addition to concealing the news of his brother's death, Tu Lanlun opened the doors inside. He told his mother all kinds of complicated relationships.

"Oh, what you said makes me confused. In this case, it is indeed impossible to marry the Batu family. Batu wants to do this because he really wants to use the power of that boy Zhang Yong." Hulan Faye Wong patted her Said his forehead.

"That's it! Think about it, mother-in-law, our family supports Guyou, and Guyou has always taken good care of our family.

Over the years, the Great Khan has been weakening the power of the Han princes, but our heads have not been affected at all. Tu Lanlun said.

The reason why his family was able to escape this great purge of the Han people was because his husband was one of their own in the eyes of some Mongolian nobles and even Mongolian princes.

Secondly, it was because of the care of Guyu's mother, Tolegona. Otherwise, a group of Mongolian officials and thousands of households would have been arranged to come to Guanzhong, Sichuan and Shu.

"But we can't reject Batu like this. Otherwise, your brother and your husband will feel uncomfortable on the western side of the front line." Princess Hulan said.

"I will keep the envoy in the house for one year, and then let him go. By the time he arrives on the grassland, it will be more than a year later. By then, I estimate that the Western Expeditionary Army will have begun to return, and the head of the house will have returned. I don’t care what the Batu family thinks." Tu Lanlun said.

"No! No! That boy Zhang Yong is coming back, but my son Kuolejian still has to be there. He needs the care of the Batu family," Princess Hulan said.

Was there any mistake? In this case, there is indeed no problem with Zhang Yong, but the one who suffers is probably his son. His son might be pulled out of his shoes over there!
Although a son-in-law is half a son-in-law, he is not his biological son after all. The mother must stand by her biological son's side.

"It's not just Kuolejian who established the khanate in the west, there are others too! Moreover, our brother is the biological son of Genghis Khan. In terms of seniority, he is Batu's uncle. Don't worry if they dare not make any mistakes." Turan Lun held back the tears in his eyes and spoke.

Mother concubine! Mother concubine! You should always think that your son is still alive and living in the West. You will always think so until you die!

"My good daughter, my mother has an idea. Otherwise, you push the son of that woman from the Western Regions out and let him marry Batu's daughter." Princess Hulan said.

Among all Zhang Yong's wives and concubines, Tu Lanlun has the highest status, followed by Xiaoyun, and third by Quchi Yexian who married from Xixia. The remaining women are basically of equal status, but The most favored one here is actually Farmaina from the Western Regions.

This woman's status is even second only to Tulanlun and Xiaoyun, and her son Zhang Yong has always treated them equally and is being nurtured together with Tulanlun's son.

And privately, Zhang Yong often roasted some wild boar meat when he took the child out for hunting, and told him not to tell his mother.

To a certain extent, this child's idea of ​​joining the church was completely destroyed.

However, if this son is allowed to marry Batu's daughter, it will probably cause dissatisfaction from the other party.

After all, his mother was not even a concubine, and even her original origin was just a slave.

Although she is the princess of Khwarazm, her father's identity is too sensitive, the daughter of Khair Khan.

"Mother! Do you think this is feasible? The Batu family will not agree, right?" Turan Lun said.

"Batu is far away in the west, and he doesn't know the specific situation. How does he know who the mother of this child is?

Moreover, after getting married, the girl will basically not return to the West. By then, the marriage between the two families will only be in name only. "Princess Hulan said.

Her ultimate purpose in doing this was actually to pave the way for her son to marry into the Batu family in the future. It was considered his blessing that the son of the woman from the Western Regions could marry the daughter of Genghis Khan's grandson.

"Okay, that's it. Then I'll reply to Batu's envoy and see what he says." Tu Lanlun said.

"Don't say it's a slave's daughter, just say it's your son. Anyway, these children were raised by you." Princess Hulan said.

"Well! I see!"

After meeting with the envoy from Batu, the two parties quickly finalized the marriage. The envoy from Batu stayed in Zhang Yong's house for more than half a month and finally left with satisfaction.

At the same time, Tu Lanlun also wrote a secret letter and sent an envoy to where Zhang Yong was.

Master, please come back soon! It has been more than three years since I left for the Western Expedition, and my family misses you very much.

Time flies so fast, the Hungarian royal city of Pest has entered winter, and it looks like a world of ice and snow outside.

More than four months have passed since Zhang Yong returned to the royal city of Pest, Hungary. In three months, when the spring of next year comes, the Mongolian army will start another operation.

"Brother Zhang, good news, the preparations for food and grass are almost complete. The wasteland reclaimed by the Russian troops on the Qincha grassland under the orders of the Han army is now fully capable of growing food.

Coupled with the food provided by the Russian countries, the jerky and cheese obtained from livestock raising on the Qinchak grasslands, and the compressed biscuit powder we made, this time the food and grass are ready, and the army is almost rested. "Guiyou said.

"When you say that, do you want to propose marching in winter instead of waiting until next spring?" Zhang Yong looked at Guiyou and said with a playful expression.

"Hahaha! Brother Zhang, you still understand me. That's what I think. In winter, we Mongolians have an advantage and prefer to fight in winter. Why wait until spring?" Guyu said.

"The Mongolian army can indeed fight in winter, but what about other servant armies? Moreover, the environment in Central Europe is completely different from that in Northern Europe." Zhang Yong said.

His cheap father-in-law has now completely restored the Roman Empire and has chewed off the hardest bones. He also told himself that he would send a 10,000-strong force to support him in the spring of next year.

Serbia and Croatia are estimated to be able to support a lot of people, plus 20,000 Russian servants and part of the Hungarian army.

The number of infantry servants in this Western Expedition will reach more than 50,000. These 50,000 people will not be able to fight like the Mongolian army in winter.

Although their main task is to be responsible for logistics support, in winter, it is too difficult to implement everything.

Batu also knew this, and Subotai also knew it, so the two Mongolian armies agreed to march into the Hungarian region in the spring.

"I'm just bored in the city." Guyu sat next to Zhang Yong and sighed.

"Didn't you just marry the Queen of Jerusalem? If you really have nothing to do, go find her!" Zhang Yong said.

"No way! Brother Zhang, that woman is already pregnant, and I am so busy because I want to kill people. I want to go to war. The battle in the Bulgarian Empire was not enjoyable!" Guyu said.

The annihilation of the Bulgarian Empire did allow him to achieve a great feat, but Batu also took down the Teutonic Knights, as well as Prussia and the Principality of Lithuania. These two countries had been taken over by Batu in the past few months.

Novgorod's army, in cooperation with the Mongolian army, fought a beautiful battle of annihilation near Lake Chude, wiping out tens of thousands of allied troops from the Teutonic Knights, the Principality of Lithuania, and Prussia.

The great victory he achieved in Bulgaria seemed to be overshadowed by Batu again, which made Guyu feel very unhappy. This time he attacked the Shinra Empire, and he had to crush Batu to death no matter what.

"You kid can do it! You got that princess pregnant so quickly. She married that Baldwin II and didn't get pregnant for several years." Zhang Yong said.

"Of course, I am not comparable to her good-for-nothing ex-husband."

"Okay! Since you have nothing to do, let's use your Mongolian expertise! Have you ever done this before?" Zhang Yong smiled and asked.

"Brother Zhang, threshing grass in the valley is indeed a tradition of our grassland people.

But I have never done it before. When I became an adult, the Mongolian Empire was already very powerful, and there was no need to go hunting in grass valleys. "Guiyou said.

Please, when he came of age, Genghis Khan had returned from the Western Expedition. Brother Zhang, you know how powerful the Mongol Empire was at that time.

Do we deserve to go threshing? The place where the grass was cut was formerly the Hebei area, but now all the Han princes in Hebei have surrendered.

When his father was young, he followed Genghis Khan to hit grass valley twice.

"But you should still keep this skill. Do you want to do it once so that you can lead ten thousand cavalry?

Without carrying any supplies, I entered the territory of the Holy Roman Empire directly, and then started looting everywhere, constantly harassing them. "Zhang Yong said.

It is a bit inconsistent with his style to allow the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire to prepare for war with such peace of mind!
The Mongols' combat capabilities in winter are very strong, that's why.

Then send some Mongolian cavalry troops and let them carry out the old tradition, so that you Europeans can also experience the power of threshing the grass in the valley.

Since ancient times, the army of the Han Dynasty has not actually been unable to defeat the grassland army head-on, but the mobility of the grassland army is simply too strong.

After arriving at the border area, there will be all kinds of harassment. As soon as your army arrives, they will immediately run away, and you can't catch anyone at all.

Moreover, it will also waste people and money in various ways. If you send less troops, you will not be able to scare the Mongols at all. They will be annihilated by the steppe cavalry. If you send more troops, you can't catch them, which will make your teeth itch.

And in the past, do you think it was all men who went to work in the grass valley?
Old people and women will even join in, bringing their families with them.

Even so, the mobility is ridiculously strong, not to mention the all-male Mongolian cavalry.

"Brother Zhang, what do you mean, let me lead the army directly into the Holy Roman Empire's territory, and then keep robbing it!" Guyu asked.

"It's so ugly to say robbing! Do you understand it's called Dacaogu?
Bring me all their folk grain, pigs, cattle, sheep, and livestock.

Our Mongolian cavalry is very mobile and I will be on the border of Hungary.

Build a fortress for you. This fortress will be used to store supplies. When the time comes, these looted supplies can be used when attacking the Holy Roman Empire. "Zhang Yong said.

How can it be called robbing something when so many troops are dispatched en masse? It should be called Dacao Valley.

"Hahaha! Okay, okay, Brother Zhang, you are right. Let me do this. I will definitely plunder a large amount of military supplies." Guyu said.

"Take as much as you can from them. If they send troops to encircle you, don't conflict with them head-on. Use the excellent maneuverability of the Mongolian cavalry. Remember these words.

When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue. "Zhang Yong looked at Guiyou and said.

The Sixteen-Character Jue, a classic implementation method of guerrilla tactics, can definitely be used by the Mongols in this era.

The Mongolian army is really suitable for this set of tactics.

"Brother Zhang, you mean well! This is similar to our Mongolian hunting tactics. I understand, don't worry!

I know how to fight this battle. When the time comes, we will divide our troops into several groups. I will ask each group of thousands of households to take people out. If they can no longer take it, they will return to Hungary. "Guiyou said.

"That's it! I'll let Baidar lead 10,000 Mongolian cavalry, and let Chahan lead 10,000 Xixia troops to garrison on the front line to provide you with backing. If they send a large-scale army to encircle and suppress them, then you can just go back." Zhang Yong said.

I just want to make you annoyed, I just want to make you angry, there is no way, I can't even hit you.

After the strategic plan was formulated, Zhang Yong quickly took measures, mobilized 30,000 troops, and began to hoard in Hungary's border castles.

20,000 troops served as a reserve force, while Guyou led 10,000 cavalry and marched into the territory of the Holy Roman Empire in a mighty manner, and then began to wander around and commit crimes.

In the next period of time, the Holy Roman Empire near Hungary and Bohemia finally enjoyed the trouble of being harassed and plundered by the Mongolian army.

The small local garrison could not stop the Mongolian army at all. These Mongolian armies were divided into teams of a thousand people and plundered everywhere.

The Archduke of Austria and some nobles also thought about sending troops to defend or even annihilate these Mongolian troops.

But the mobility of these Mongolian armies is too strong.

Appear in this area today, and appear in another area tomorrow, Dacao Valley.

When troops are allocated to protect some towns and villages, the Mongolian army will also attack with a team of a thousand people.

Although there are only a thousand cavalry troops, there is still no problem in killing a thousand infantry troops.

Even with the rise of play, Baidar and Chahan would lead a cavalry of a thousand people to join the team that plundered the Shinra. (End of chapter)
