I summon all the famous generals in history in another world

Chapter 1491 Strategic Agreement, Mongolian Prince Sihanfei!
"In this way, there will be 10,000 Imperial Guards, 30,000 Xuanlong Twelve Guards, 50,000 old troops from the Great Qian Dynasty, plus 20,000 Imperial Guards under Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong, totaling 110,000 troops?"

Zhang Liang calculated with his fingers.

"Although they do have a numerical advantage at present, the fighting strength of the Mongol cavalry cannot be measured by ordinary troops, and the possibility that Temujin may continue to send reinforcements cannot be ruled out."

"Moreover, the Mongol cavalry grew up on horseback, possessing superb horsemanship, fierce fighting tactics, and the ability to withstand hunger and cold. They are adept at long-distance raids and flanking maneuvers. Among the 110,000 troops, the only ones who could truly confront them head-on were probably the Imperial Guards and the Twelve Xuanlong Guards."

Su Ye pondered for a moment.

"What you say is absolutely right, so we need to prioritize certain aspects when allocating our troops."

"This time, the army can be divided into three routes to aid Yuzhou: one route will be led by General Qin Qiong with 10,000 Imperial Guards as the vanguard, quickly penetrating and heading straight for Fengzhou City in the north of Yuzhou to relieve the siege of Fengzhou and open up the passage to Yulu City; the other route will be led by General Yuchi Gong with 30,000 Xuanlong Twelve Guards as the main force, closely following the vanguard to resist the attack of the Mongol cavalry."

"The commander-in-chief personally led 50,000 old Daqian troops and the remaining Yulin troops to oversee the overall situation and was also responsible for food and logistics."

Ji Chao nodded and drew a route on the map with his fingertip.

"This deployment can leverage the speed advantage of the Imperial Guards and allow the Twelve Xuanlong Guards to withstand the pressure head-on. Although the old army of the Great Qian Dynasty is slightly weaker in combat, it has the advantage of large numbers and can fill the gaps in the defense line, protect the flanks and logistics."

"Moreover, Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong are both veterans of the battlefield. They will surely complement each other well when they work together with General Su Lie, whom our lord has been promoting."

Zhang Liang added.

“This deployment is feasible, but I have another idea.”

Su Ye looked at the battle plan outlined by the two and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Now that Zhao Kuangyin and Li Yujing in Yuzhou are locked in a fierce internal struggle, we might as well sit back and watch them fight, and let the garrison of Yuzhou and the Mongol cavalry wear each other down first."

He paused, his gaze becoming deep.
"Does the lord intend to use the Mongols to weaken the opposition forces within Yuzhou?"

A glint of light flashed in Zhang Liang's eyes.

"That's right. Although Zhao Kuangyin was willing to fight, he had limited troops at his disposal. Li Yujing was focused on seizing power and did not pay enough attention to the threat posed by the Mongol cavalry."

"Let them fight the Mongols first. This will not only let them see the power of the Mongol cavalry and force them to put aside their internal strife, but also deplete the Mongols' manpower and reduce the pressure on Sulie's northward march."

Su Ye nodded.

They went to provide support and also to see if they could take over Yuzhou along the way, so naturally they couldn't use their own people as filler in the first wave.

At the very least, we should let the garrison commander of Yuzhou and the Mongol cavalry wear each other down first.

"But this move needs to be handled carefully. Although there is infighting among the garrison of Yuzhou, if the losses are too heavy, they may become fearful and may even turn to the Mongols without hesitation."

"At that time, we will not only have to face the Mongol cavalry, but also deal with the defecting Yuzhou garrison, and the situation will become even more difficult."

Ji Chao pondered for a moment, and finally gave a reminder.

“I am aware of this, so we cannot allow Yuzhou to suffer too much loss.”

"Reinforcements need to be prepared as soon as possible and arrive before the defenders of Yuzhou can't hold out. But they can't arrive too early either. Let them suffer a bit and understand that only by relying on us can Yuzhou be defended," Su Ye said with a smile.

"Fengzhou City is now besieged, and the garrison has been without food for three days. They are at their last gasp. Qin Qiong's vanguard must arrive as soon as possible to relieve the siege of Fengzhou, give the Yuzhou garrison a shot in the arm, and let them know that reinforcements have arrived so that they will not completely collapse."

He pointed his finger at the location of Fengzhou City.

"In addition, my lord can have Luo Wang send a message to Zhao Kuangyin, informing him that the reinforcements from Qianzhou are about to head north to provide support, and instructing him to hold Fengzhou City firmly to contain the main force of the Mongol cavalry."

"Zhao Kuangyin was ambitious and knew that reinforcements were coming. He would fight with all his might, which would both wear down the Mongols and protect the core city of Yuzhou."

Zhang Liang smiled and added.

Inside the main hall, the three of them sat around the map and discussed it in detail for a long time.

Meanwhile, in the northern border of Yuzhou, the city wall of Fengzhou City looked like a piece of black iron that had been forcibly embedded in the frozen soil of the northern frontier by God. After hundreds of years of wind and frost, it was scorched black by the recent war. The wall was covered with arrow holes and axe marks, exuding a fierce strength born from bloodshed.

It was just past noon, the time when the sun should have been at its warmest, but the sky north of the city was shrouded in a gray haze of dust. The thunderous hoofbeats of the Mongol cavalry rolled from miles away all the way to the city walls, shaking even the withered grass in the cracks between the city bricks.

Zhao Kuangyin was clad in black armor, the plates still stained with undried blood. His dragon-patterned staff leaned against the parapet at his waist, his right hand resting on the battlements, his fingertips rubbing the rough bricks.

His gaze, sharp as an eagle's, swept over the dark mass of Mongol troops below the city, his brows furrowing into a deep frown.

On the city wall, 20,000 newly reorganized state and county garrison troops and his elite troops were mixed together. Everyone was wearing armor, holding swords and spears, and their bowstrings were fully drawn, with arrows pointing straight down at the city. However, many of the new recruits' hands were still trembling slightly. Most of them were local farmers from Yuzhou who had only put down their hoes a few days ago and had never seen such a scene before.

"General, the Mongols have begun to form their ranks!"

The guards reported in hushed tones, their voices carrying a barely perceptible hint of tension.

Zhao Kuangyin did not turn around; his gaze remained fixed on the front of the Mongol army formation.

Three wolf-skin banners were raised high. The middle banner was embroidered with a ferocious gray wolf, which was Tolui's banner. Under the banner was a general wearing tiger-skin armor, riding a black horse, and holding a mountain-splitting axe. This was none other than Tolui, who was the most warlike of them all.

At this moment, he was raising his axe and shouting, his voice as rough and loud as thunder. Even from hundreds of feet away, one could vaguely hear the clamor of "After the city is breached, take whatever wealth and women you want!"

The flag on the left was embroidered with a white eagle, and the general under it, Jochi, was still wearing a plain leather robe, but now he was wearing a layer of black iron soft armor over the robe, with a curved sword at his waist. His face was expressionless as he was talking to the general beside him, his finger occasionally pointing to several corners of the city wall, clearly deploying the key directions for the siege.

He was calm and collected, and his greatest strength in battle was finding weaknesses. Compared to Tolui's relentless attacks, he was more fearsome.

The flag on the right is the most unique, embroidered with a golden roc spreading its wings. Under the flag is a general dressed in silver armor, his figure as upright as a pine tree. He holds a fine steel spear in his hand, the spear shaft gleaming with a cold light, and black mist faintly swirling around the tip of the spear.

This man was none other than Si Hanfei, with a faint smile on his face. Behind him were several lieutenants, each of them burly and imposing, with curved swords at their waists and powerful bows on their backs. They were the generals of the elite troops under his command, including Zhuo He and Yan Lieshe.

Sihanfei was Kublai Khan's younger brother. His original name was Hulagu. As a master who was on par with Phagpa, he was among the three top masters in Mongolia. He was known as one of the three great masters of Mongolia, along with Bashiba and Mengchixing. He changed his name to Han because he admired the culture of the Central Plains.

He held military power second only to the Great Khan in the Mongol military and political system, commanding elite Mongol troops such as Jokhe and Yanlieshe. His signature weapon was a fine steel spear, combined with his "astral projection" level martial arts skills, making his moves fierce and domineering. In the Battle of Jingyan Palace, he demonstrated astonishing combat power, fighting against seven masters from the Central Plains.

In that world, through scenes such as the Jingyan Palace meeting and the bloody battle on the long street, his dual personality of having both the demeanor of a tyrant and the pride of a warrior is portrayed. In fact, in the martial arts commentary system, Si Hanfei is regarded as "the most oppressive villainous commander in the Shattered Void worldview"!
