Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 1188: The Old Duke Generously Requests to Fight

The battles in Shaanxi, Sichuan and Guizhou were fierce, but for the great Khan in Wei Dadu, who was known to rule over the nine provinces, it was just a local battlefield. At this time, he did not know the news of the fall of Guiyang, and even if he knew, it would be just a small matter for him. In the big chess game of fighting for the world, the one he cared most about at the moment was Ji Du, who had already proclaimed himself emperor. If he did not destroy the Zhenwu court, he would not be able to unify the north, and if he did not unify the north, how could he focus on the south?

Now the Toli tribe has successfully attracted the attention of the Qing army in Shaanxi. News has just been received that the Xirimo tribe has occupied Shunqing and Tongchuan prefectures after taking Chongqing, cutting off the connection between the Qing army in Shaanxi and the Qing army in other provinces. The most important thing is that Ji Du has fallen into the trap and led an army of 100,000 away from Shaanxi and deep into the Hutuo River in Zhending Prefecture, Zhili. After three months of stalemate with the Liao King Sumur tribe of the Wei Army, he has become a tired army.

"Well, the time is ripe to annihilate Jidu!" Great Khan Lianhua said to himself, and ordered all the ministers to discuss the matter in Qianyuan Hall. Although it was called a discussion, the decision had already been made, and he just informed the ministers.

"I have decided to lead 150,000 troops to encircle and annihilate the false emperor, with 80,000 cavalry going first and 70,000 infantry following. During the expedition, the crown prince will supervise the country, and the university scholars Batuhetan, Tiemoer, Nasutu, Liu Haogu, and Xue Zongzhou will assist him," Sultan's voice was strong and powerful. These days, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War have been preparing for the expedition. The preparations were made several months ago, and money, food, weapons and other things have been prepared, so they are calm today.

"Your servants obey your order~" "Your subjects obey your order~" The ministers all accepted the order.

Sultan nodded in satisfaction, looked at the Crown Prince Zhuoligetu, and whispered: "While the army is away, the affairs of state will be handed over to you. You can decide small matters on your own, and there is no need to report everything to me."

"Don't worry, father. I will do my best to raise food and money for the army and ensure stability in the rear!" Zhuo Ligetu said in high spirits, completely unaware of the envious and jealous looks of his younger brothers.

"Well, in this case, I have nothing to worry about," Sultan said happily.

"Please allow me to join the war!" Suddenly a tiger roared. It was the Tiger of Oirat, the First-Class Duke of Liang, Bars. The old man was old, and Sultan cared about his old minister and could not bear to see him suffer from the hardship of traveling, so he ordered him to stay in Dadu to take charge of the city defense. But the old tiger was still young at heart and insisted on joining the war.

Looking at this old minister, Sultan rolled his eyes and laughed, "Of course I know about the bravery of Duke Liang. But after our army left Dadu, the capital city was left unguarded, and we need a brave general like you to take charge."

"Does the Khan think I am too old? Although I am already sixty-eight years old, I can still draw a bow, wield a sword, and kill the enemy in battle." Although the Khan gave him enough excuses, the old Duke still refused to listen and pestered to go to the battle. He even knelt on the ground and cried, "I was originally a rough man, and I am where I am today because of the Khan's grace. Now I am nearly seventy years old and I know that I don't have much time left. I don't ask to die of old age at home, but I hope to repay your kindness in case of an emergency! Khan, please let me fight one more battle! Woo~ Woo~ Woo~"

This low, lingering cry, like a spoiled child, deeply touched the Khan's heart. He stepped down from the Fearless Lion Throne and lifted up the veteran minister with both hands. "It's not that I dislike the Duke of Liang's age, but the prince is young, and I want to keep you in Dadu to assist. Since you insist on going, you will be the vanguard, Su He will be the deputy vanguard, and the King of Qi and the King of Zhao will be my central army. Follow me to lead the cavalry to attack the false emperor; the King of Jin will lead the infantry to speed up the march and catch up with the cavalry as soon as possible; all the generals who follow the expedition must restrain their troops and fight to the death to kill the enemy!"

"I am willing to die for the Khan!" "I am willing to die on the battlefield and be loyal to the emperor!" "I will be loyal to the Khan! I will die for David"... Inside the hall, all the generals were full of fighting spirit and they wished they could go to the battlefield and fight to their heart's content.

"Pen!" Infected by the fighting spirit of the generals, the Great Khan of Lotus roared like a dragon and a lion, and ordered the guards to bring paper and pen, and wrote the lyrics:
"Song of Water Melody" presented to the Duke of Liang before the army was dispatched to suppress the false dynasty

Who is the hero now?
The old ministers are worried about the desire to fight.

The Pseudo-Qing Dynasty advanced eastward.

Most of them heard the police.

Alarm the drum and bell tower.

The red sun hangs high in the sky,

The country is booming.

Why fear the ups and downs? The trumpet is in my favor.
Destroy the enemy in one fell swoop.

Wrapped in armor,
Swinging the battle axe,
The momentum is like a stream.

Veteran's wish,

Destroy all the enemies without leaving any behind.

The drums of war sound again today,

It's time for the tiger to come out of the mountain.

Take the nine states for me.

Look at Lingyan Pavilion,
Which one is the leader?
After writing the poem, it was time to go to war. Because they had prepared early, the guards moved quickly and set out the day after the Great Khan wrote the poem. In order to take advantage of the cavalry and hide the whereabouts of the army, Sultan ordered the entire army to cross the Sanggan River from Dadu and march along the edge of the Great Wall, detaining all the people they saw along the way in the camp.

"Send the order, set up camp at Longquan Pass tonight, and rush to Lingshou within three days," Bars ordered on horseback, his white beard blew by the wind, but his body remained motionless, like a statue. The Tiger of Oirat felt honored to be given the first poem by the Great Khan's imperial pen. Together with Suhe, he led 30,000 cavalrymen and arrived in Tang County in just seven days. Behind him followed 50,000 cavalrymen led by the Great Khan himself, and behind them were 70,000 infantrymen led by the King of Jin. David founded his country on horseback, and he had a lot of cavalrymen. If it hadn't been for the detour to the edge of the Great Wall, which delayed some time, the march would have been faster.

Looking at the white-haired old man, Su He was filled with admiration and stepped forward to ask, "Duke Liang, we are marching too fast. Should we wait for the Khan?"

"No, let's go to Lingshou first, march at night and rest during the day. We can't enter the city. We just choose a hidden dense forest outside the city to block the news and set up camp quietly. When the Khan's army arrives, we can directly live in our secret camp. This can save a lot of time," Bal thought for a while and said.

"Yes," Su He accepted the order and left. Although he and Barth both had the same title of first-class duke, their qualifications were completely incomparable, and he could only obey the orders of this old man.

The 30,000 guards hid during the day and traveled at night. They soon arrived at the forest near Lingshou County and quietly built a small secret camp. Because the news was blocked strictly, any civilians who saw the whereabouts of the army were detained in the dense forest, resulting in the local government being completely unaware of it.

Soon, the central army led by the Great Khan also arrived in Shou County. Looking at the secret camp that Barsi had already built, the Great Khan secretly praised the old man for his ability to do things. On the one hand, he ordered his subordinates, a total of 80,000 cavalrymen, to hide in the dense forest, and on the other hand, he sent a message to the Liao King Sumur to come to Lingshou to discuss military intelligence.

Hearing that his brother had come in person, Su Muer was shocked. His brother's army was so large, but his scouts had not even detected any news. He was really a god at using troops! Overjoyed, he immediately rushed to Shou County.

"Ahaha (brother)~"

"Dugu (younger brother)~"

The two brothers had not seen each other for many years. When they met, they called each other affectionately and hugged each other tightly. After talking about family matters for a long time, the Great Khan asked his younger brother: "I have brought 80,000 cavalry first, and there are 70,000 infantry behind. Do you think it is better to wait for them to arrive before starting the battle, or to start the battle without waiting for them to arrive?" (End of this chapter)
