Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2304: Maodun becomes the host, Yuan and Mongolia wait for the opportunity

Of course, although Temujin thought he was confident enough about Maodun, he released him to take over Tolui's military power.

However, Temujin had no plan to call Tolui back, but instead prepared to have him serve as Maodun's deputy. In addition, he also sent his right-hand man, Yelu Chucai, over with him.

Let Tolui check and balance Maodun. With Tolui around, Maodun could not truly possess actual and absolute military power.

In addition to giving advice, Yelu Chucai also wanted him to keep an eye on Tolui and Maodun to prevent them from fighting. As the prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty, Yelu Chucai could easily do this with his prestige in the Yuan Mongols.

It is precisely because of this that Tolui’s face looks so bad.

But Tolui did not treat him well, and the same was true for Maodun.

As the head of an old-line Xiongnu aristocratic force, even though his power has been greatly reduced over the years, his status is at least no worse than that of Prince Tolui.

Now that he has been crowned as Khan, he will care even less about anything.

As for Temujin, Maodun only had different political views from him, but he also admired this man very much.

The Xiongnu at that time not only split into the Northern and Southern Xiongnu, but also became extremely weak. However, it was under such a situation that Temujin made the Yuan Mongols the overlord of the grassland today, and even made preliminary inroads into the Jin Dynasty.

He also believed that since Temujin had made his promise, he would never go back on it, just as Temujin believed that Maodun would not go against the interests of the Xiongnu.

Now, as long as he wins this battle, he can officially take over the Maodun Khanate and restore the glory of the Huns within his own Khanate.

"Ding, once the skill effect of Maodun Hu Ba is activated, when you become king, all your attributes will be permanently increased by 1. The current attributes rise to Command 100, Force 99, Intelligence 93, Politics 93, Charisma 96."

When Maodun was in charge of the army, the first order he gave was to let Gaisuwen lead 20,000 troops to meet Mahamu. Of the 30,000 troops brought by Gaisuwen, Maodun only left 10,000 of them here.

"In this way, the pressure on Xizhou will definitely increase greatly!"

"This move is a brilliant one!" Yelu Chucai said with a sigh.

Originally, he also wanted to make such a suggestion to Maodun, but he did not expect that Maodun had already issued such an order first.

As the saying goes, great minds think alike.

Kublai Khan wanted to increase the pressure on Xizhou by increasing the pressure on Yumen Pass.

Kublai Khan's letter had not yet arrived, but Yelu Chucai and Maodun had already done so.

"The battle of Liangxi is not about Dunhuang, but about Yumen Pass!"

"No matter whether we can break through Yumen Pass or not, sending more troops here will be beneficial to the war situation!" Maodun nodded in agreement.

He didn't believe that Su Dingfang would be able to sit still after receiving the news by sending another 20,000 troops to Yumen Pass.

  What does the attacker fear most?

The most feared thing is that the opponent will honestly guard his home and not move, just like Xu Da in Jiangxia. If he really stays at home and does not move at all, Bai Qi, Wang Jian and others will be helpless and can only follow suit and attack honestly.

If you don't move, it will be difficult to reveal your flaws. Only after you move, you will be able to detect opportunities. "Tuo Lei, I want you to lead the Red Army of Scouts. You don't have to participate in the battle. You only need to send a large number of cavalry to patrol the 50-mile area along the Dunhuang and Yumen Pass!"

"Once the Golden Fire Cavalry is discovered, stop them immediately!" Maodun gave the order directly to Tolui.

"If the Tanma Red Army did not participate in the battle, could the remaining troops have taken over Dunhuang?" Tolui said with some disbelief.

Before, although he would leave a certain number of soldiers to guard against the Golden Fire Cavalry, only a few thousand would be enough. A few thousand cavalry could stop the Golden Fire Cavalry for a while, but he had never directly sent the entire Tanma Red Army to participate in the battle.

Of course, if under such circumstances, he failed to capture the city of Dunhuang, and Maodun actually captured the city of Dunhuang without the participation of the Tanma Red Army, then, the prestige of Prince Tolui in the Yuan Mongols would probably plummet in the future.

"Difficult!" Maodun didn't play any tricks and spoke directly.

After hearing this answer, Tolui felt inexplicably relieved.

"I have said that the battle of Liangxi will not start in Dunhuang, but in Yumen Pass!"

"Su Dingfang of Xizhou will definitely pay attention to Yumen Pass. Similarly, Liangzhou will also pay attention to Yumen Pass. However, Meng Tian and Wei Qing of Liangzhou are out of reach. The only ones who have the ability to intervene in Yumen Pass are the soldiers of Dunhuang and the Golden Fire Cavalry!" Maodun said with a grin.

"This is an open conspiracy!" Yelu Chucai nodded in agreement.

Ju Yi at Yumen Pass had only 3,000 vanguard soldiers. Even though they were later supported by 3,000 cavalry, there was still a qualitative gap between their military strength and that of Mahamu.

Mahamu had 25,000 soldiers at the beginning, and now he got 20,000 reinforcements from Gai Suwen. It seemed like there had been some losses of troops before, but it was impossible for Ju Yi to have no losses at all.

With such a huge gap in strength, they just couldn't believe that the Jin troops in Liangzhou and Xizhou were not in a hurry.

I am not afraid of you being anxious, I am afraid of you not being anxious. When you are anxious, you will give others an opportunity to take advantage of you.

"Dunhuang and Yumen Pass are two tough nuts to crack!"

"My sons' lives are extremely precious. There's no need to waste them all here. We should just focus on one of the two hard bones." Maodun said calmly.

In fact, he had no intention of really attacking Dunhuang again. Tolui had indeed used up all the methods he could. Even if he was asked to attack again, even if his command ability was better than Tolui's, the result of this kind of real attack, even if it could be better, would not necessarily be much better.

After all, with the Golden Fire Cavalry roaming outside, neither Dunhuang nor Yumen Pass dared to send out all-out attacks. It was precisely because of this group of troops that Tolui and Mahamu had to leave behind a certain number of troops while they were attacking just in case.

Now, Maodun plans to turn the tables.

Concentrate all the Red Army Tanma and try to entangle the Golden Fire Cavalry with all their strength.

Once the Golden Fire Cavalry was caught, his troops could take advantage of the situation and then outflank them.

Even if his troops will not really attack Dunhuang in the future, they will still be stationed near Dunhuang. Once there is any unusual movement of the troops in Dunhuang, they will be able to detect it at the first time and respond.

In fact, Maodun hoped that there would be some unusual movements of the troops in Dunhuang. If the other side did not move or come out, this bone would be a difficult one to chew.
