Chapter 1198 The Loyal Slave
Outside Jiuyuan City.

With the autumn wind, the grass has begun to turn yellow.

A flag is waving, and teams of cavalry are ready to continue.

They will go west and defeat the Tang army who have been lingering in the Houtao grassland.

Zhang Hongfan had already put on all his armor, but he was still in front of Tuohu's tent before leaving.

"Is the king there?"

"Please come in."

The big tent was filled with a strong smell of wine and powder.

Tuohu was wearing a comfortable robe, and was hugging two beauties he had brought back from the Western Regions, enjoying the singing and dancing while drinking wine.

This kind of situation is very common among the kings. As early as the period of Okudei Khan, the famous saying that life is half pleasure and half fame is already a footnote to the Jin family's sensuality.

"Have you seen the soldier talisman?"

Tuohu escaped urgently under the protection of a group of cowards.

Soon, many Yuan soldiers escaped from the camp on horseback and headed west to report the news of Tuohu's death to his servants.

"When the Great Khan named Zhang Hongfan the Marshal of the Mongolian Han Army, he also wrote me a letter home. Now it is a war to defend the Central Plains. Of course, these Han people are working harder. Unlike the Mongols, if they fail to win, they will return to the grassland at worst. .Hey, I really thought so."

Zhang Jue would often sit alone on the top of Yan'an City at night, muttering: "Back then when Brother Meng was killed, General Wang and I sent His Majesty to the foot of Diaoyu Mountain. We said we would fight to Yinshan Mountain..."

After the song and dance ended, he looked at Zhang Hongfan and asked, "Who are you going to attack?"

"Tuohu is there!"

"It's under King Anxi's command, Qi Xue, and under Xiong Er's command."

"In front of King Anxi's tent, Xue Qianhu is under the command of General Xiong'er." The man who responded was a Mongolian, and he should be a centurion by his attire.

However, after turning around, he realized that what he was holding was not a weapon, but a flagon...

Yang Wen'an desperately wanted to seize military power and become a nobleman; Tuohu was aloof, and military power was used to protect him from continuing to enjoy it. King's identity.

Blame Zhang Hongfan for taking his military power and letting him relax for too long.

As the sun sets and the moon rises, happy days always seem short. Unknowingly, Zhang Hongfan has led his troops away for five days, and may have surrounded Yang Ben's [-] cavalry.

If the Tang army didn't send someone to respond, they would never dare to take a step closer to this camp on their own.

At this time, the Mongolian cavalry who stayed with Tuohu were all soldiers and horses from thousands of households who contradicted the Han law, and they seemed to be much more scattered.

But Wang Mancang took him as a deserter, which made him lose his dignity.

This answer was obviously beyond the expectation of the Mongolian centurion who returned to the camp. After a moment of surprise, he said, "We still have to stay overnight in the camp."

Zhang Hongfan said again: "The soldiers are about to go to battle, please come to the front of the battle to boost morale."

It's not true that Tuohu was never angry, he only felt a lot easier when he thought that it was like handing over milking and shearing to the slaves.

"Yang Ben, he led [-] cavalry to roam the grassland. If we don't defeat him, it is very likely that he will attack Yanjing from Hetao after we leave."

Now he wants to get back the lost dignity and make Zhang Jue proud of him.

"King Tuohu died in battle..."

"Damn."

The sound of horseshoes behind him was getting closer and closer, Qixue had already turned his head to fight with the enemy, but some people escaped.

A head fell to the ground.

"Exiut."

"Haven't you heard? The concubine poisoned Da Khan's soup..."

Until Xue Qianhu, who was timid and timid, came forward and asked, "Which Wanhu's soldiers and horses? Where did they come back from?"

"I haven't recognized them yet. They belong to King Anxi, and our people don't recognize them."

The Golden Family owns countless wealth in the entire continent, and it has been squandering it for decades, and it can't be squandered.

All of a sudden, many beauties, waiters, and cowards scattered from the tent...

After Mengge's death that year, Kublai Khan issued repeated orders, demanding that all those returning to the camp must strictly check the order symbols.After years of hard work, it slowly formed a habit.

Although Shigar just woke up from a hangover, he still did not forget to do this, which shows that the regulations were strictly enforced at that time.

"seen it already."

"Kill!" Tang Jun's general shouted very close, almost bursting into his ears.

And the soldiers guarding the camp often have to recognize the generals above the centurion in each ministry to prevent the Tang army from pretending to enter the camp.

Wang Li raised his finger and shouted loudly.

"Have you recognized your appearance?"

"Sick? How did you get sick? How is the person?"

Except for Tuohu's Qixue, the rest of the cavalry neither drilled nor guarded the camp. Instead, they scattered and herded, and even went far away to search for the property left by the defeated soldiers after the war.

Not far away, several wounded soldiers came out of the camp and walked towards the returning cavalry, trying to identify...

Tuohu waved his hand and drove Zhang Hongfan out.

He was very excited, because he knew that Zhang Jue wanted to regain Hetao.

"Go and find some Anxi Wang Kexue who stayed behind to recuperate, and let them recognize them."

The screams suddenly sounded.

Because sneak attacks often need to be based on accurate and comprehensive intelligence.

He had just arrived in Hetao when he suffered the first major defeat in his life and was driven into the wilderness like a wild dog.

"King Anxi? King Anxi is ill and has been sent to Kaiping."

And once the Military Intelligence Division got in touch with Wang Li and the others, they could turn the remnant soldiers scattered behind the enemy into sharp blades.

"puff."

At the same time, behind him was another unshaven Han man who rode forward, seeming more concerned about Mangge.

The scenery in the distance is beautiful, but the camp is also messy, and I accidentally stepped on horse manure.

"unnecessary."

Shigar, who was still scraping horse dung, didn't even have time to get up.

He is also the patriarch of the golden family who can fight well, not a coward who can only run for his life.

Shigar said: "Back to the grassland, I'm afraid many Mongolians are unwilling?"

After that, he stroked his full beard and said with a smile, "Hehehe, Han."

On the contrary, Tuohu looked like he didn't care, and didn't listen carefully after asking casually, and waved impatiently: "The Great Khan asked you to arrange military affairs, just watch and fight."

But the last time to recover the Hetao failed.

A knight rode past him and cut off his neck with a knife.

"Then let them guard the Central Plains." Tuohu raised his hand and pointed outside the tent, and said, "Zhang Hongfan is a man who can read people's eyes. You see, he didn't organize all the soldiers. Some soldiers who want to go back to the grassland stay. He is very smart."

"kill!"

"What does the king want to do with such a hypocritical Han Chinese?" said Shigar, a man with curly beard and color eyes who accompanied him in the tent.

Now Zhang Hongfan is not doing well.

Shigar squatted down and took off his boots to scrape.

If he hadn't met Wang Mancang, he would really have died.

Looking at it this way, Tuohu actually has aristocratic temperament.

But the really absurd thing is that the person Tuohu is blaming at this time is Zhang Hongfan.

Tuohu was furious.

~~
Shigar lifted the curtain from the big tent, looked up, and asked, "Which army has returned to the camp?"

He still has a lot of soldiers and horses, but he was caught off guard, and he still doesn't even know where the enemy troops came from.

Shigar was just out of habit, after giving these instructions, he stretched, and walked a few steps on the grass with his hands behind his back.

"Yes."

~~
The cavalry of the Tang Army rushed into Tuohu's big tent and knocked down the entire tent with a bang.

He took another sip of the wine, and said with a smile: "Raise your glass, my friend, and leave all the trivial matters to him. If he can do it, we will continue to enjoy the richness of the Central Plains. If he can't, we will return to the beautiful big land." grassland."

"Why can't I talk to him?" Tuohu asked back, "Do you think it's embarrassing for Khan to let him lead the army instead of me?"

Because the Great Khan trusted Zhang Hongfan, let Tuohu take charge, and let Zhang Hongfan be in charge of specific military affairs, it seemed that he trusted Zhang Hongfan's ability more.

"Hehehehe." Tuohu was staring at the song and dance, and let out a slightly drunken giggle.

In fact, Zhang Hongfan said these words once before, but when Tuohu asked, he still said it tirelessly and with a serious attitude.

Wang Li felt very useless.

He can also fight back.

"Your Majesty, the army is about to leave, please come to the front of the battle to boost morale."

This is exactly the small army of Wang Li who came back from the north of Yinshan Mountain.

He and Yang Wen'an formed two extremes.

When subconsciously getting angry, he didn't blame himself for indulging in pleasure, he didn't blame those scattered soldiers and horses, and he didn't blame his cowardice for being unsafe.

He is willing to regard Tohu as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and it is also a long-standing Mongolian tradition for Zong Wang to lead the army.

As soon as he entered the tent, Zhang Hongfan made a very inconspicuous frown, and he became very calm in a moment.

"puff."

Although he indulged in wine and sex, he did not appear incompetent, otherwise he would not be able to command troops to attack the Yili River Basin.The smile at this time even has the meaning of seeing through everything.

In the distance, suddenly a group of Mongolian cavalry rushed back, and no one stopped them until they entered the camp.

"That's not it."

"Your Majesty is right, with such an obedient servant, nobles should toast to enjoy..."

~~
"Haha."

Wang Mancang held Tuohu's head in his hands, kissed it on the shaved forehead, and laughed loudly.

After some difficulty, he restrained himself, turned his head to Wang Li and said, "He really killed Tuohu. Tell me, can we really win Hetao with our little army?"

"Once the Mongolian Zongwang in your hand dies, let's see if Zhang Hongfan can keep those thousands of Mongolian households under control..."
