Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

In the largest room on the first floor of the West Warm Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace in Dadu, Wei, there is a huge sand table made of mud and sand. It is so big that it fills the entire room, and the mountains and rivers of the entire Chinese land are clearly marked. Sand tables have existed since ancient times. When the Qin Dynasty conquered the six kingdoms, the First Emperor personally made them to study the geographical situation of each country. Later, he built a large terrain model in his own mausoleum. It not only had mountains, hills, and cities, but also used mercury to simulate rivers and seas, and used mechanical devices to make the mercury flow and circulate. In the eighth year of Jianwu (32 AD), when Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty conquered Wei Xiao, the general Ma Yuan "gathered rice into valleys and pointed out the situation", which made Emperor Guangwu feel that "the enemy is in my eyes". These are the earliest sand tables. As a time traveler, the Great Khan of Lotus had extremely high requirements for the sand table. The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Works summoned a large number of scholars and skilled craftsmen who were proficient in geography, and it took a long time to complete it.

After the success, Sultan was overjoyed. Whenever there was a war, he would come here to study it. Today, he was in a very good mood. Liao Wang Sumuer sent someone to deliver an urgent military report 800 miles away: the pseudo-Qing Zhenwu Emperor had fallen into the trap, seized Taiyuan and entered Zhili, and was in a stalemate with the Wei army on both sides of the Hutuo River in Zhending Prefecture.

"Well, the fish has been caught. Don't worry, the enemy is strong right now, wait a little longer, wait until they can't take it down for a long time and their divisions are tired, then send troops to annihilate them", someone stared at the river on the sand table and talked to himself, and suddenly ordered: "Order the King of Liao to hold the Hutuo River for a month, abandon Zhending City and retreat to Xingtang City". It takes skill to lure the enemy into deep. If you give up too easily, you won't tire the enemy out; if you give up too late, the enemy will see that you are guarding tightly and will inevitably be afraid of difficulties and will not go deeper. So the battle-hardened Khan ordered his brother to hold on for a month. A month is not too long or too short, it can both tire the enemy out and give them hope of victory, which is really cunning.

The eunuch beside him quickly wrote down the God of War's order, but the God of War glanced at Shaanxi again, "Toli and Altan Cang fought well this time. One captured Kronde and the other captured Huanxian, effectively restraining the Qing army in Shaanxi. Next, it depends on whether Xirimo can capture eastern Sichuan! Xirimo, Xirimo, you are the Wolf of Oirat, please don't let me down!"

In the previous battle, the central army led by General Tuoli and Deputy General Altan Cang of the Wei State had performed poorly and failed to capture Xi'an and join the Great Khan in time. The two generals had always been resentful, and this time they vowed to make a difference. Taking advantage of the fact that Jidu had taken away a large number of Shaanxi's elite troops when he marched eastward, they launched a fierce counterattack against the Qing army. Tuoli led 40,000 troops south from Liupan Mountain, defeated the Qing army stationed in Longde County and captured the county town. Then he successively captured Wating Pass and Jitou Mountain, forcing Qingxi Hegong and Shaanxi Governor Zhang Zide, who were ordered to stay in Xi'an, to order Yanchang Hou and Angbang Zhangjing Fu Kachan to lead troops to leave Xi'an to urgently reinforce Pingliang and deploy defenses in Kongtong Mountain and Pingliang Prefecture; Altan Cang went south from Anbian and successively captured Qingping Pass and Huan County. When the news reached Yan'an, Jidu's fifth brother, Prince Zhong Huilan, ordered Gao Bichang, deputy general of the Yan'an Camp, to lead troops to garrison Yan'an and Yulin, and he led the army to Anhua, the capital of Qingyang Prefecture, to intercept the Wei army. In this way, the elite Qing troops in Shaanxi either followed Jidu to the east or were pinned down by the Wei army's central route, and were no longer able to take care of Sichuan and other directions.

In Hejiang County, Luzhou Prefecture, Sichuan, warships were moored one after another at the dock on the shore, and soldiers were waiting for orders to board the ships.

Xi Rimo, the general of the Southern Expedition of the David Kingdom, who was silently observing the situation on the shore, suddenly shuddered, "How strange! Could it be that Hatun (wife) missed me? Alas! What are we, an old couple, talking about all day long?" Xi Rimo shook his head helplessly, a feeling of longing filled his heart. Little did he know that someone was indeed thinking about him, but it was not his Hatun, but the Great Khan of Lotus who was looking at the sand table in the Qianqing Palace.

As soon as the Oirat Wolf received the order to concentrate troops and seize eastern Sichuan even if it meant giving up Guiyang, he knew that the Great Khan was going to attack the Qing army in Shaanxi. He only left 10,000 troops to Guizhou Governor Ren Jin and General Danbadarji to guard Guiyang, and then assembled 80,000 troops to sneak from Guiyang to Zunyi, and then sneak from Zunyi to Hejiang County, Luzhou Prefecture. Sichuan Governor Asumu and Provincial Governor Fu Yuanxiu, who had already received the order, ordered people to prepare sufficient food and ships in Hejiang.

"Marshal, the soldiers are ready. Please give us your instructions as to whether we should board the ship," asked the Deputy General of the Southern Expedition Na Risong.

"Can the defenders of Jiangjin detect our army's movements?" The Wolf of Oirat asked in a deep voice about the situation of his first target.

"The spies I sent out reported that the gates of Jiangjin are still open as usual for the people to enter and exit. Not only Jiangjin, but also the surrounding counties such as Yongchuan have seen no abnormalities. It is obvious that our army is well hidden and has not been discovered," Na Risong's voice was slightly smug.

"Well, you did a great job. I will lead the land forces to capture Yongchuan, and you will lead the navy to capture Jiangjin. The two armies will meet in front of Fotu Pass. Remember, you must act quickly! Otherwise, our previous preparations will be in vain!"

"Don't worry, Marshal. I will catch the enemy off guard like an arrow shot from a bow," said Na Risong.

Seeing that he was so confident, Xi Rimo smiled and said, "In that case, let's meet at Fotu Pass. Let's get on board!" As soon as the order was given, the 30,000 "navy" that had been ready boarded the ship one after another.

"Set sail!" With Na Risong's order, the endless warships raised their sails and sailed towards Jiangjin City with the power of the surging river (Yangtze River).

"Warriors, let the horses run faster, don't fall behind the navy!" Xi Rimo laughed. In order to make the infantry keep up with the speed of the cavalry, the Wolf of Oirat prepared a large number of carriages, which carried the infantry and baggage forward, greatly speeding up the march.

"Gee~" The vanguard of the guards and Sichuan governor Jiancun Jiangqu raised the whip in his hand.

"Da~da~da~" Countless war horses neighed, their hooves kicked up rolling dust, and they galloped towards Yongchuan County at lightning speed.

The one guarding Yongchuan was Wang Kechen, a lieutenant general of the Qing army. He was originally a bandit, but after surrendering to the Qing, he made many military achievements and joined the Han army's white banner. He had more than 2,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and they were quite capable of fighting. But the speed of the guards' cavalry was too fast! They rushed into the city before the gates of Yongchuan could be closed.

"Quickly pull up the suspension bridge!" Tian Xing, a thousand commander of the Qing army, roared and ordered his troops to pull down the suspension bridge.

"Swoosh!" A feather arrow pierced his forehead.

Jiancun Jiangqu put down his bow and used the sharp Tibetan knife in his hand to harvest lives, killing one person with every strike.

Seeing this fierce god so brave, Wang Kechen, who was known for his bravery, suddenly lost his courage, mounted his war horse, and fled.

"Coward! Leave your head behind!" Jiancun Jiangqu rode his horse to chase after him. His horse was fast and soon he caught up with Wang Kechen. The hidden knife rose and fell, and Wang Canrong's head fell to the ground.
