The important officials gathered in the Ming Hall of the inner city of Dadu, and a court meeting was being held. The war ahead went smoothly, which made Tiemur feel depressed for a long time.

"Khan, after another three days of fierce fighting, our army repelled the southern army in the northeast for another thirty miles, beheaded more than 4,000. He killed an enemy general in front of the battle, and he had retreated to Tanzhou." Korigis first reported, "Gao Mieli made great contributions in this battle. He led the army to attack without fear of guns and bullets. There were as many as five thousand commanders and more than thirty centurions."

"Oh, this battle can be called a great victory!" Tiemuer was overjoyed and said excitedly.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, our army's great victory!" The ministers quickly stood up and sat in congratulations. But they couldn't help but feel a little sad. They thought that the Mongolian army fought east and west, and beheaded tens of thousands of people. During the Western Expedition, they cut off the enemy's ears and loaded hundreds of cars. But now, beheading 4,000 can make the Khan ecstatic, and I don't know how much water there is.

But then I thought about it, since the Southern Dynasties' Northern Expedition, all of them have been beaten by the Southern Dynasties. Every time there are tens of thousands of casualties and wounded under the enemy's guns and cannons. It is difficult to kill and injure thousands of the Southern Army. In this battle, it is really a rare "great victory" that has come into existence. No wonder Da Khan is so happy.

"Transfer my will, Gao Mieli's military achievements are outstanding, and the bounty is 100 taels, and a hundred pieces of silk and silk are given a gold medal in tiger head to control the army. The following generals discussed the merits and rewards. Those who killed three enemies were all promoted to one level, those who were five were promoted to two levels, and those who were ten were promoted to the commander of the thousand men!" Tiemu said.

"I obey the order and immediately send someone to pass the imperial edict on the army to strengthen our army's morale!" An Tong came out of the line and politely said.

"This battle was also due to the careful planning of Pingzhang and the envoy, dispatching all the troops, and they also made great contributions and rewarded them all!" Tie Muerlong was very happy and said with a smile.

"It's all the merits of the great knights, and I dare not take the merits!" The two of them hurriedly said again.

"This is the guidance of the immortal heaven!" Tie Muer stroked his chest and looked at the way of heaven, but he was still happy in his heart, and he sighed in his heart that although he was the favored by God, Ardam was the angel who came to heaven to help.

The matter had to go to Qionghua Island from that day to ask for advice from Aldam. He was drunk and crazy because the celestial phenomena were difficult to resolve, claiming that "there is a situation of trapping dragons, and there is only a glimmer of vitality to follow." He was shocked when he heard this and asked him for advice. He quickly asked for advice, but Aldam suddenly fell asleep. He asked repeatedly, but he raised his hand and pointed to the northwest, and fell down again.

Tiemur knew that whether it was Taoist priests from the Central Plains, monks from Tubo, or shamans on the grassland, they were all peeping at the secrets of heaven when predicting good or bad luck, and they were punished by heaven. Therefore, sometimes they often made a fool of themselves when predicting the future, and the words of the Buddha were also vague, and they had to understand the intentions from it. Therefore, they also thought that in order to avoid being punished by God, Ardam pretended to be crazy and secretly pointed out his vitality in the northwest.

The fact is that the poor Ardam knew that the Song army had completed its layout and formed a turtle in the jar of the capital. He just waited for the Song army to break through the city and completed his mission and could go back to Jiangnan to enjoy his happiness. In order to deal with Tiemur's constant questioning, he could only use wine to cover up his nonsense, otherwise he might have died on the eve of victory.

But what Ardam never expected was that his unintentional finger was used as guidance from heaven by Tiemur and put it into practice. He really missed the weakest place on the defense line of the Song army, and caught him off guard, causing major casualties to the Song army. Now, when the national master heard about it, he was so scared that he was so scared that he was about to be crazy, worried that he would be done by the spy lurking in the city of the Song Dynasty!

However, although Tiemur received guidance from heaven, he was still very cautious and sent Korigis to verify the deployment of the Song army. He also found that the Song army besieged on all sides was the weakest here. Not only was the force of more than 10,000, but the defense line was long and the troops were scattered, which was difficult to echo each other. As long as the troops were sufficient, they could be wiped out one by one, opened a gap in the defense line, and contacted the outside of the Great Wall again.

Although Korigis believed that it was possible to fight, Timur was still very cautious about this "only" hope. In order not to cause unnecessary disputes in the court, he ordered Korigis to preside over the battle. In addition to asking An Tong for advice, he concealed everyone, and even Fang Chenyou could not hear the news.

It was Tiemur's seemingly unintentional action that also ensured the suddenness of the action and made the Song army unpredictable. At the same time, in order to confuse the Southern Dynasty, Korigis also launched a feint attack in multiple directions, but did not move a soldier in the city, but instead transferred the Semu guards commanded by Mieli from Juyong Pass to serve as the main attacker.

The Semu Guards suffered heavy losses in the first Northern Expedition of the Southern Dynasty, and some guards were simply reorganized and annihilated. At that time, the Khan Zhenjin reorganized the Semu Guards after the war, leaving the strong and decising the weak, but retained the most powerful Qinchawei, Tangwuwei, Asuwei and Western Region Guards, who were the most powerful in the battle, and also drew elite troops from all ethnic groups to fill the vacancies.

After Tiemur ascended the throne, the Semuwei army followed him to quell the Haidu Rebellion and suppress the northwest tribes and performed extremely strongly. It can be said that it has recovered its combat power at its peak. In resisting the Second Northern Expedition of the Southern Dynasty, Tiemur left him in Dadu to defend the capital, so his combat power was completely preserved and he was ordered to defend the most important pass in Dadu, Juyong Pass.

Skull

Under the new and old hatreds, Semu Guards showed great courage. They abandoned their horses and infantry battles, and dared to attack important strongholds with strict defenses in the Song army. Even if they suffered heavy casualties, they would not retreat. After the Song army retreated, they immediately launched a pursuit, and even if they were in a row, they still refused to give up. Of course, they were both flesh and blood. Even if they achieved the results, they had suffered great casualties and were difficult to fight again.

"Khan, General Gao sent envoys to report the victory this time, and also asked the Khan to send another army to reinforce." Seeing that the Khan was happy, Korigis reported again, "They fought for many days. Not only were they lacked supplies, especially arrows and armor exhausted, and the soldiers were exhausted. If they did not rest or rest, it would be difficult to fight again. Now the Southern Army was about to be defeated and fleeting. I also asked the Khan to dispatch troops to reinforce as soon as possible, and regain Danzhou in one go, and open up the traffic outside the border."

"Well, their casualties must be quite large, and the military battles are also consumed!" Korigis's words indeed touched Tiemur's pain point. What he was most worried about was not whether most of them could defend it, but that the retreat was cut off and became a prisoner of the Southern Dynasties. It would be worse than death. At this time, the road to the north was about to be opened, how could he give up? He pondered for a moment and asked, "What are the movements in other aspects of the Southern Dynasties now?"

"Report to the Great Khan, our troops were ordered to attack the Liangxiang Daying of the Southern Dynasty before, so that they did not dare to act rashly. When our troops completed the task and retreated, the Liangxiang Daying of the Southern Army was dispatched to counterattack, resulting in the loss of the Daying. Only after the repeated resistance was the able to retreat to Wanping City, blocking the enemy on the east bank of Jinkou River, and now confronting the enemy across the river!" Ananda replied.

After suffering a series of defeats on the way to the guard, Ananda had already seated his troops. In fact, as soon as he found out that the Southern Army had signs of attack, he gave up the camp and withdrew, galloping all the way into the city. He no longer wanted to fight against the enemy in the field. He felt at ease only when he had a city wall blocking the front, and he was unwilling to go to reinforce Gao Mieli and kill him.

"Well, Wanping lost, and the enemy will come to the city of Dadu!" Tiemuer frowned.

Tiemur actually didn't want to mobilize his troops. After all, he was a brother in war and a father-son soldier. Ananda said that he was a brother of the same clan, so he was more at ease to use him to defend the capital. Of course, he was also worried that he would have the will to seize power in a crisis, so he split the troops he brought from the northwest to prevent him from gaining troops.

"Reported to the Khan, the enemy of the Tongzhou camp launched an attack of about a thousand people for several days, and searched for the ferry and cut down trees, as if he wanted to choose a place to cross the river. Our troops are now waiting for the battle, and dare not slacken at all to prevent the enemy from attacking the camp." Pu Cha'er quickly reported without waiting for the question.

"Pingzhang, how about drawing troops from the city?" Seeing that it was difficult to draw troops from the side, Tiemur turned to An Tong and said.

"Khan, the city has sufficient troops, but except for the guards, they are all newly signed new troops. It is useless to go without a battle formation. The garrisons of the prefectures and counties gathered in the capital have just been reorganized, which is embarrassing to the great task. Moreover, the journey is long to send troops from the capital. Even if the troops are now prepared, it will take several days to arrive, and I am afraid it will not be possible." An Tong thought for a while and said.

"Not bad!" Tie Muer nodded. He also knew that the elite soldiers everywhere were now deployed outside the city, and only the Mongolian Right Guards and Zongren Guards guarded the capital, and the rest were all useless. He sent troops from the city to go out of the east gate to Tongzhou, or go out of the north gate to cross Yuhe Pass to Changping, and then turn northwest to Tanzhou. It is indeed a risk that the distant waters cannot quench their near thirst.

"The Khan, the most convenient thing is to draw troops from Juyong Pass to reinforcements, but if you draw them again, the troops in the city will inevitably be empty. Once the southern army attacks the pass in person, it may be difficult to defend it." Korigis said.

"Khan, according to the war report, there is no war in the direction of Juyongguan, and the terrain is steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack. The Guancheng has just been repaired and cannot be easily broken. The troops of King Anning were stationed in Nankou. They came from Liaodong to familiarize themselves with the situation on the way, so they can transfer their troops to reinforce!" Buhumu suggested at this time.

"I think it is inappropriate. War may break out at any time. Once Juyongguan is lost, the enemy can march straight in and join the southern army in the attempt. The imperial city is in danger!" Cui Yu opposed.

"What the Chief Central Committee said is very important, and you must not miss the Guan Yongguan!" He Wei also echoed.

"I think that while dispatching troops from Juyong Pass, I can send troops from the city to Juyong Pass to fill in the shortage of troops in the guards. This way, the number of exchanges will be only one or two days." Dong Wenyong suggested again.

"What Dong Qing said is extremely true. This is a strategy for both worlds, which can protect the city of Guan and defeat the enemy in Tanzhou as soon as possible and open up the road outside the border to prevent accidents!" Tie Muer thought it was a strategy for both worlds, and praised it.

"What do Pingzhang think?" Korigis looked at Antong and asked.
