The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 284 Hunting on the Grassland

Zhu Houzhao and his four companions did not dare to attack the Mongol army, but with their presence, the Mongol army did not dare to divide its forces and expand its results.

You know, the Turks were defeated in one battle, but it would take time to clean up the remnants and attack the Sui Dynasty completely and safely.

If Zhu Houzhao and the other three had been there, the movement of the Mongol army would have been extremely slow, especially in attacking the Sui Dynasty.

Using the strength of four people to drag the Mongol army was obviously not in the best interest of the Mongols.

Therefore, the Mongols had to let Zhu Houzhao and others leave.

Only if they leave can Zhu Houzhao and his companions leave.

The Mongols also wanted Zhu Houzhao and his men to stay far away so as not to disturb Kublai Khan's army's subsequent actions.

In this case, Temujin could only lead the Qiexue army towards the Ming Dynasty and keep Zhu Houzhao and others in the Ming Dynasty.

As for Zhu Houzhao and his men, would they take advantage of their absence to bypass and attack Kublai Khan's army?
This is possible, but not very likely.

Aren’t they worried that Zhu Houzhao and his men might launch a surprise attack in a circle? Aren’t they worried that the Mongols wouldn’t do the same?

The Mongols also had three idle powerful celestial beings on their side. They were in the Qiexue army and no one could detect their presence, so it was easy for them to leave quietly.

What if one or two of them raid Emperor Wu’s Dragon Cavalry, or directly attack the capital of the Ming Dynasty?

In general, both sides have concerns and weaknesses, and no one can be sure of the specific movements of both sides.

This time, it is not a life-and-death battle between the two sides.

For a big country like them, the first priority is to ensure their own security, that is, stability.

Only after you have stabilized yourself can you consider attacking the other party.

There is no need to talk about the tacit understanding.

When the two sides are evenly matched and it is not a decisive battle, both sides only need to know the general movements of the other side.

The Mongols asked Zhu Houzhao and others to leave and not disturb the Mongols' next actions.

The Ming Kingdom wanted Temujin and several powerful celestial beings to leave and not continue attacking the Sui Kingdom.

This is the general direction that each side requires the other to take.

The general trend remains unchanged, and the rest can be tolerated.

Of course, Temujin was not worried, but just in case, he still asked Bashiba to secretly return to Kublai Khan.

Kublai Khan's 200,000 cavalrymen, plus the Eighth Division, can defeat them even if three celestial beings suddenly attack.

the other side.

Zhu Houzhao was indeed thinking about whether he should gather the strength of four people and go around to attack Kublai Khan?
But he was worried about many other things.

Temujin is so despicable and cunning, could he have sent one or two powerful celestial beings to attack Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry or even the capital of the Ming Dynasty?
The more Zhu Houzhao thought about it, the less sure he became.

My head started itching from thinking about it, so I snorted and stopped thinking about it.

Stabilize your own side first.

Immediately, he asked Zhang Sanfeng and Wuji to stay and secretly monitor Temujin's Qiexue army from a distance to avoid being discovered by Temujin.

The main thing is that we must not let them grasp the distribution of the strong men on our side.

He and Duke Zheng returned first.

After returning to the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao asked Duke Zheng to return to the capital just in case, and he himself went to join Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry.

Three hours later, Zhu Houzhao gathered Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry more than 300 miles away from the capital.

At this time, he did not ask Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry to speed up their journey, but instead asked them to stop and rest.

It has been confirmed that Temujin will leave the Turks, so there is no need to be too anxious. We must ensure the physical strength of Emperor Wu's Dragon Riders.

What will follow is likely to be a major war.

Zhu Houzhao looked towards the northeast, with a glimmer of fire burning in his eyes. If he could kill Temujin directly, the Mongols would immediately fall apart and would no longer be a match for the Ming Dynasty.

"Temujin, you wait for me."

Holding the Sun and Moon Divine Spear and gently stroking the white dragon under his crotch, Zhu Houzhao became more and more excited. The fighting spirit that had been suppressed for several years now surged and surged as if without limit.

And just as Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry and the Qiexue Army, the two most recognized strongest cavalry forces of the time, were approaching, the whole world was in an uproar.

An almost unprecedented sensation.

On March 20th, 200,000 Mongol cavalry attacked the Turks.

Temujin suddenly appeared with the Keshik Army. He led the Keshik Army and 200,000 cavalry and defeated the nearly one million-strong army of the Turks and surrounding small countries in one battle.

The Turkic Shibi Khan was killed in battle, and three other khans, including Jie Li Khan and Utu Khan, all died in battle.

The strongest Turkic warrior, Wu Zun Bi Xuan, was severely injured and captured alive by Ba Shi Ba.

Of the nearly one million troops, more than 300,000 were massacred in one battle, and the remaining troops scattered and collapsed.

Early morning of March 21st.

Zhu Houzhao, the Shengwu Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, brought three great celestial beings to the outside of the Mongol camp and forced Temujin to lead the Qiexue army and the three great celestial beings to leave the Turks.

The two men agreed to lead Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry and the Qiexue Army to hunt on the grassland.

Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry had indeed left the Ming capital, and the two armies were getting closer.

What happened in these two short days was like a major earthquake, spreading madly to all countries in the world.

Everyone who heard the news was so shocked that they couldn't control themselves.

"Did you hear? Did you hear? The whole world is going to be in an uproar."

"How could I not have heard of it? The Great Ming Emperor Zhu Houzhao and Genghis Khan Temujin of the Yuan Dynasty are about to lead the Emperor Wu Dragon Cavalry and the Qiexue Army to hunt on the grassland!

Who in the world hasn’t heard of it now?
The real war is about to begin! It is very likely that the chaotic times are coming." "The Turks are finished. They were defeated by Temujin in one battle and more than 300,000 people were massacred. It was horrible.

He obviously wanted to continue attacking the Sui Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty took decisive action.

The four great celestial beings of the Ming Dynasty took action and forced them away from the Turks, preventing them from attacking the Sui Dynasty again.

But there are still 200,000 Mongol cavalry led by Kublai Khan, and the Mongols will definitely attack the Sui Dynasty next."

"I don't care about the Sui Dynasty now. I'm just curious about why Zhu Houzhao and Temujin would hunt on the grassland. There are a total of eight celestial beings on both sides, as well as the Wudi Dragon Cavalry and the Qiexue Army, the two strongest armies in the world.

This will be the most horrific war in thousands of years.

A battle that decides the world.

Who will win?

“No, they won’t necessarily fight to the death. The point of contention between the two sides now is the Sui Kingdom, not a matter of life and death between them.

The Ming Dynasty obviously wanted to force Temujin and several other powerful warriors away from the Turks to prevent the Mongols from taking over the Sui Dynasty.

It was also obvious that the Mongols wanted to block the strong men of the Ming Dynasty from entering the Sui Dynasty and prevent them from interfering with Kublai Khan's army's attack on the Sui Dynasty.

In other words, both sides hunt on the grassland in order to keep an eye on each other's peak combat power.

It doesn't necessarily have to be a life-and-death battle.

Especially since the Ming Dynasty is currently undergoing comprehensive reforms, it cannot exert its full strength.

The Mongols also knew that they could not conquer the Ming Dynasty, so they could only target the Sui Dynasty first.

The two sides will never engage in a life-and-death battle lightly."

"That makes sense, but if given the chance, I believe they will never let each other go and will kill each other."

“Yes, this most terrifying war in thousands of years will definitely happen. Only after the war, we can see the strength of the opponent and not easily eat him, so we will not fight a life-and-death battle.”

"Yes, I am still confused. If Temujin confronts Emperor Shengwu, won't he be worried that Jin, Liao, and Northern Mang will attack those three khanates?"

"Who knows? Maybe some preparations have been made."

"Alas, I think the world is really going to be in chaos. Next, the Ming Dynasty and the Mongols will fight overtly and covertly with the Sui Dynasty as the center.

The two most powerful empires are fighting for the Sui Kingdom, and the flames of war may spread to all the countries in the world."

"Okay, Zhu Houzhao's focus will definitely shift to the Mongols and the Sui Dynasty. The pressure from many forces in the Ming Dynasty will be reduced, so there may be opportunities."

"Our Great Sui Dynasty has become the meat of the Ming Dynasty and the Mongols, and it has only been a short time.

Ten years ago, who dared to do this to our Sui Dynasty? "

"Yeah, who would have dared to think about it ten years ago?"

"A hero never brags about his past achievements. Who made our Sui Dynasty produce a prodigal son?

Fortunately, Temujin and those powerful men were forced to leave by the Ming Kingdom. Next, the Sui Dynasty will only have to face Kublai Khan's 200,000 troops, and there is still a fight to be had."

“Not only that, don’t forget, the Mongols’ strength is more than that.

Moreover, once Kublai Khan has taken care of the remaining Turkic people, his strength will surely increase greatly."

"Master, what should we do next? Kublai Khan will definitely attack the Sui Kingdom in no time. Should we support Yang Guang? Or should we just ignore it?"

"The world is in chaos! The world is going to be in chaos!"

·····
In all countries of the world, countless people were excited and terrified.

Instinctively, they were curious about the upcoming battle, and felt excited and looking forward to it.

At the same time, it is also clear that a war between the two empires will inevitably affect the entire world.

It is even possible that the entire world will be plunged into war, and everyone, including themselves, will be affected.

The impact may be the life of yourself and your entire family.

How can I not be frightened?
The top leaders of various countries were even more frightened.

State of Song.

After hearing these two pieces of news, Zhao Ji did not feel happy at all, even though there was a possibility that both the Mongols and the Ming Dynasty would suffer losses.

Because he knew very well that when two strong people fought, they would most likely kill a weak third party.

For example, at this time, the Ming Dynasty and the Mongols were fighting because of the struggle for the Sui Dynasty.

No matter what, he believed that the Sui Dynasty was doomed.

This time it’s the Sui Dynasty, what about next time?

The thought of that possibility made him feel cold all over.

Also, if one side really wins, will it be a good thing?
No, that's a bigger disaster.

He just wanted to be an emperor happily, peacefully and without causing trouble.

Why do we have to start a war?
Is it likely to implicate the Song Dynasty?
Zhao Ji thought with grievance and anger.

But he had no choice, and he was very self-aware and had no intention of trying to stop the fight. He could only watch the situation and pray silently.

Northern Wilderness.

Empress Murong looked towards the southwest, somewhat confused.

"Temujin made his move like this, and he's not worried that my Northern Mang will swallow up the Chagatai Khanate in one go?
The Jin and Liao kingdoms are not easy to deal with either, and they will not give up this opportunity just because they are afraid of him." Empress Murong asked doubtfully.

The figure next to her who looked like a farmer hesitated for a moment and said in a concentrated voice: "Temujin would never act rashly. Perhaps he has already made preparations."
