Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 1881: The Warriors Departed to Mongolia, the New Dynasty's Famous Strategist, the Leader of the Northwest
Although Tolui and Jebe led their troops to retreat, they were both cunning men.

The departure was only on the surface, only temporary. In fact, the two men came back and made a surprise attack at night.

The main purpose is to catch you off guard.

Cavalry combat and raid warfare played an important role.

Both Tolui and Jebe were good at cavalry warfare, and could even be considered experts. Naturally, they had a lot of experience in harassment.

But, who would have expected it!
Antigonus was actually prepared in advance, their attack failed, and they had to retreat again!
And this time, they really retreated!

Antigonus is known as one of the greatest commanders of the Hellenistic era. He gradually developed from a small local governor to the most powerful successor after Alexander. Relying on the rebellion of the Silver Shields, he disintegrated the Eastern Coalition without winning any victory, and disintegrated all the successors in the East in one go.

He lost only once in his life, but it was a pity that he lost his life just in that one time. However, he is still fighting at the age of over 80, so one has to admire his physical fitness.

The Kingdom of Macedonia was not far from the Northern Di, and Antigonus actually paid a lot of attention to the Northern Di.

Xirong was definitely not inferior to Beidi in terms of hard power, and could even surpass them in some aspects. In particular, there was a church above Xirong, which could integrate the power of the entire Xirong when necessary.

However, it was impossible for the Northern Di to do this. Ever since the Golden Horde was disintegrated by the seven great dynasties of the Central Plains, they have truly been torn apart.

But even so, in the occasional frictions, the Western Rong suffered more defeats than victories and rarely gained any advantage.

A far-sighted military strategist like Antigonus would naturally study such a close person who could almost be called a neighbor.

In recent years, almost during the rise of the Macedonian Kingdom, the Mongolian tribes that rose at the same time can be said to be the largest northern Di force closest to them and the one they have studied the most.

Tolui and Jebe were both famous generals who emerged during the rise of the Mongolian tribes.

Especially Jebe, he and Subutai were known as Temujin's right-hand men and women, and among the Mongolian generals, they were second only to Muqali.

When they were studying the Northern Di generals, they naturally couldn't avoid such a person.

Antigonus made some preparations just in case. Afterwards, he was very scared. If he had not made this additional preparation, not only would the remaining food and grass be burned to ashes, but even his head would be hung on the flag by the enemy.

However, war is war, there is no such thing as luck. He successfully predicted this wave, which is his ability and cannot be explained by simple luck.

After all, behind the luck was the research he did on Beidi on a daily basis.

From then on, Mongolia and the Kingdom of Macedonia had their first encounter.

After the follow-up Mongolian troops arrived, the two sides began to fight against each other.

After all, before this, the power available to both sides was not on the same level. Whether it was Thor, or Tolui and Jebe who arrived later, they could only do some harassment at most, and did not have enough power to engage in a real head-on confrontation.

On the Mongolian side, the leader of the troops this time was none other than Mu Huali, Mongolia's greatest general.

If it were just a single Locke Kingdom, it would naturally not be worthy of Mongolia's attention.

But the Kingdom of Macedonia is different!

The Mongolian tribes were close to the Western Rong, and the surrounding Western Rong kingdoms had done some research on them. Similarly, they would also take the initiative to learn about the Western Rong.

The Macedonian Kingdom, like their Mongol tribes, has also risen in recent years.

In just a few years, it annexed nearly ten kingdoms of the Western Rong. Although most of them were small kingdoms that were almost insignificant and not taken seriously by them, after annexing so many kingdoms in succession, Macedonia has now become a kingdom that cannot be ignored.

The entire Macedonian Kingdom had a population of five million and 250,000 armored soldiers.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that even though they are far away in Beidi, they have heard the rumor that the king of the Kingdom of Macedonia is the illegitimate son of the master of the Temple of Judgment of the Western Rong Church. This is something that really deserves their attention.

The Xirong Church, this behemoth, is definitely a heavy weight for any force in the world!
Even a dynasty-level force dare not ignore such an existence!
In Xirong, the Holy See can truly mobilize the power of the entire Xirong.

If the opponent is the Kingdom of Macedonia, they will have no choice but to take it seriously.

If Alexander, the King of Macedonia, had not come in person, Temujin might have come in person.

But since Alexander didn't come, there was no need for Temujin to come in person. General against general, king against king, if the other king didn't come, then there was no need for him, the king, to go out in person.

The two families also tacitly agreed not to continue to increase their troops. Each family maintained the size of 30,000 troops and did not further expand the scale of the conflict between the two sides.

At present, in terms of the power comparison between the two countries, Alexander's Macedonian Kingdom is actually not as good as Temujin's Mongolian tribe. It can even be said that there is a gap.

After occupying the three northern roads of Dawu, Temujin has begun to combine the strengths of both the Central Plains and the grasslands, but it will take time to integrate them.

Moreover, in the three northern regions of Dawu, Temujin not only greatly increased his power, but also imitated the Central Plains in holding imperial examinations and issuing a call for talents. Through various means, he obtained the assistance of a large number of talents from the Central Plains.

For example, local powerful historians in Dawu joined Mongolia under the leadership of Shi Bingzhi.

When the Northern Di first occupied the three northern regions of Dawu, they used absolute military control, but it did not achieve any good results. There were constant resistance in private, and fierce conflicts broke out between the two sides. In fact, the Northern Di almost lost the three regions that they had finally taken.

After that, Temujin gave up some of the interests that were not in the grassland, and only held on to the grassland that was close to the Great Self, and put more efforts into the struggle for the three northern roads of Dawu. Firstly, he saw the development potential of these three roads.

Secondly, after Murong Yuan's death, the center of contention among various forces was on the Beidi grassland, especially the core area of ​​the Murong tribe. Temujin focused on the three northern routes of Dawu at that time, which was also a way to avoid the real and attack the fake.

If it weren't for this step, Temujin would not have been able to develop to this level in just a few years!
Of course, there are pros and cons!

It is precisely because of this that he became Da Wu's main target.

After taking over the three northern routes of Dawu, Temujin learned from previous lessons and while maintaining a strong military rule, he also used some conciliatory tactics.

For example, some Mongolian nobles gave themselves Chinese names while keeping their Mongolian names, intending to use this method to downplay the conflicts between the two sides.

For example, he used martial arts to govern the martial arts and promoted a group of military men, especially some influential figures in the three northern regions.

Shi Bingzhi loved reading and was loyal, so he was very influential in the local area. Therefore, he became one of them.

Moreover, his third son Shi Tianze was valued by the Mongolian general Mu Huali because of his good riding and shooting skills and extraordinary bravery, and was appointed as the chief commander in front of his tent.

For example, Guo Baoyu, who was also a local tyrant, was won over by Temujin because of his family's influence in the local area.

Although the down-and-out fake Taoist priests Liu Ye and Liu Zihe did not have the local influence of these two families, they took the initiative to enter Temujin's talent recruitment hall and scolded away all the few people who had taken the initiative to enter the talent recruitment hall that day.

However, this also attracted Temujin's attention. After he was taken to Temujin, after a conversation, Temujin was amazed by him. He immediately followed the example of the people from the Central Plains and worshipped him as his teacher and treated him with respect. He did not care at all that this down-and-out Taoist was one year younger than him.

Just like that, according to the original historical trajectory, the leader of the Northwest Faction of the Xin Dynasty fell into Temujin's arms.

Many local factions of the Xin Dynasty, such as Wang Yu of the Northern Faction, have one thing in common, that is, even if their family backgrounds are not top-notch in their respective places, they are not far behind. They are all well-known and have considerable influence.

The new dynasty valued them not only because of their talents, but also because of their original families' influence in various places, thus providing benefits for the new dynasty to clear the way for and rule the world.

And this person is one of the few leaders of these local factions who has risen from the bottom.

Moreover, he joined the Xin Dynasty very late. In fact, at that time, he had already become a white-haired old man, but he managed to surpass so many people and became the leading figure of the Northwest faction.

You have to know that before this, this person was just a liar in the eyes of the world who pretended to be a Taoist priest to get free food and drink.

But he was able to get to this point from the bottom, which shows his talent.

In the original historical trajectory, after Jia Ping, he was the one who took over Jia Ping's position, becoming the second black glove of Emperor Zhiling, and also a haze in the hearts of many court officials and people all over the world.

Everyone thought that he, with his white hair, would not be able to serve as an official for many more years, but they did not expect that this old guy could live so long. He was the longest-lived person in the new dynasty. No one knew how many people had died out of his presence, and even many younger generations had been outlived by him.

With the help of the three northern routes of Dawu, Temujin's power was greatly enhanced, but the Kingdom of Macedonia was located in the west of Rong and was under the pressure of the Holy See, so it could not really let go of its full power for expansion.

In terms of strength, there is actually still a gap between them and Temujin's Mongolian tribe.

Therefore, they naturally did not want to engage in a full-scale confrontation. Especially now that they were in Xirong, they were also marching south with all their strength. Under such circumstances, they certainly did not want to fight another strong enemy in the northeast.

The Mongolian tribes were also unwilling to engage in a full-scale conflict with the Macedonian Kingdom.

The Macedonian Kingdom was marching south at this time, but the Mongolian tribes were also threatened by the Dawu Dynasty to the south. Moreover, the northern Di grasslands were still not peaceful.

Although the Macedonian Kingdom was not as powerful as their Mongolian tribe, after all, according to rumors, Alexander was the illegitimate son of Zeus. Temujin was not willing to confront the behemoth of the Holy See so quickly.

It is precisely because of these reasons that although the two families had a conflict in the Locke Kingdom, they were both deliberately controlling the scale of the conflict, did not further send troops to the Locke Kingdom, and were unwilling to allow this conflict to escalate further.

In this battle, the two sides had equal military strength, and the two main generals were also famous generals in their respective countries. Judging from the superficial hard power of the two sides, it was a situation of equal strength.

However, although the Mongolian tribe had ulterior motives and also intended to annex the Locke Kingdom, at least on the surface, they were strong reinforcements invited by the Locke Kingdom. Of course, for this, the Locke Kingdom had to pay a high price to pay Temujin a military expenditure.

As the first general of Mongolia, Mu Huali, who is known for his wisdom and courage, is also hiding their true intentions very well, and now is not the time to expose them.

Mu Huali was not polite to the King of Locke Kingdom. As soon as he arrived, he opened his mouth like a lion and his attitude was extremely arrogant. However, it was Mu Huali's attitude that did not cause the King of Locke Kingdom to have any unnecessary suspicion.

Moreover, even according to Temujin's original intention, he did not directly and decisively annex the Kingdom of Locke.

Instead, he followed Wang Yu's move in Dongyi Xipingdao and took control of all military and administrative powers in his own hands, leaving only a superficial puppet.

For Temujin, he was determined to gain control of the Kingdom of Locke because an iron mine had been discovered in the country.

However, with the Dawu in the south watching covetously and the fighting on the grassland in the north still far from being settled, it would be too hasty to intervene in the Western Rong at this time. It would have to be done slowly.

The hard power of both sides is comparable, but the Mongolian tribe, backed by the Locke Kingdom, indirectly has certain local advantages. It is this slight local advantage that allows them to gain a certain upper hand in the fight between the two sides.

During this fight, the two families were also testing each other's strength.

In the end, both families recognized each other's strength during the fight.

Therefore, they naturally died down and no one really insisted on determining who was superior or inferior.
