The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 13

The Mongolian Yuxue Army, similar to the Imperial Forest Army of the Han people, was first formed by Genghis Khan himself.

The Qixue Army is mainly composed of meritorious children such as nobles and generals. Every ordinary soldier of the Qixue Army has the salary and rank of an ordinary general.The Qixue army has strict discipline and devil-like training methods that are different from the general army, and at the same time enjoys extraordinary privileges. An ordinary Qixue soldier's status is even higher than that of a thousand household officials. Of course, every Qixue soldier has He has extraordinary combat power, one is equal to ten, no less than the imperial guards in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Ability and loyalty coexist. According to modern terms, this force is the bodyguard of the Mongolian Khan in Zhongnanhai.

After its founding, this cowardly army followed Genghis Khan to fight everywhere, made inexorable feats and won the reputation of being invincible.

When Kublai Khan competed with Brother Ali for the Khan position, the original Qixue army stayed in Mobei and became the trump card in the hands of Brother Ali.At the same time, Kublai Khan re-formed a Qixue army on the basis of his original Qiandi Suwei, led by his trusted general Dong Wenbing.

That night, Boyan came to Kublai Khan's study in Shangdu Palace.There was a large pot of coals burning in the room, which made the study room warm.

"See Da Khan, Boyan was ordered by the teacher to come to Da Khan's tent to listen to orders."

As soon as Boyan entered the room, he respectfully kowtowed three times to Kublai Khan.

"Bo Yan is here, stand up, let me take a good look at you, you have grown up, um, yes, you are a good-looking talent, remember the last time when I called on your teacher before I sent troops to suppress Brother Alibu, you still shouted You want to go to war with me, and four years have passed in a blink of an eye. Come on, let me first introduce to you two of my favorite generals, this is Dong Wenbing, the commander of the Qi Xue army and the governor of Shandong." Kublai Khan pointed to his left hand A middle-aged Han man in a white scholar's robe smiled and said.

Boyan hurriedly clasped his fists in salute and said: "I have seen General Dong, Boyan has admired General Dong's name for a long time, please give me more guidance in the future."

"Bo Yan is polite." Dong Wenbing replied.

"This one is General Ashu, the Marshal of the Mongolian Conquest to the South." Kublai Khan pointed to the person on his right.

Boyan clasped his fists again and saluted: "I have admired the name of General Ashu for a long time, and I ask the general to give me some pointers."

"You don't need to be polite, Boyan, you are truly a hero." Ashu, who was wearing a black shirt, laughed.

Kublai Khan looked at the three of them with a smile on his face and said, "The three are the eagles of our Mongolian Empire. Come, sit down and talk."

Dong Wenbing was about 40 years old, with a calm complexion and a gentle appearance, he didn't seem to be a military general on the killing field, but a refined scholar.Ashu is in his thirties, with cheeks all over his face, exuding a kind of fierceness unique to soldiers from all over his body, he can be seen at a glance as a decisive military general.

Both of them used to be generals in the Suwei Army. They were loyal to Kublai Khan and won the trust of the Great Khan.

Dong Wenbing and A Shu have been fighting with Kublai Khan since they joined the army. It has been a long time, and they all know that Boyan is a follower of the great god Yin Tianya, so they dare not take him lightly.

After watching the three of them sit down, Kublai Khan said: "Bo Yan, I plan to let you serve as the deputy commander of the Qixue Army to assist General Dong, and move the capital to Zhongdu (Beijing) in the future. I want to follow the example of our ancestor Genghis Khan and general Qi Xue's army has expanded to 1 horses, so I will leave the recruitment and training to you first."

"Thank you Dahan, my minister Boyan will definitely live up to his kindness." Boyan was slightly startled, then overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down and said.

It is the dream of every Mongolian man to join the Kexue Army, let alone serve as a senior general of the Kexue Army.

"Get up, Boyan. According to the ancestral system, the source of soldiers for this cowardly Xue army can only be selected from the descendants of nobles and generals. This actually has advantages and disadvantages. Moreover, after the Alibuge rebellion, many noble generals also participated in it. The rebellion was wiped out by me, so the source of soldiers will be dwarfed by comparison. Therefore, I want to expand the scope of the source of soldiers. All good men from Mongolia are eligible to participate in the exam. Those who can pass the test can be selected in order of ranking. , General Dong."

"The minister is here."

"For those who pass the test, you need to personally check the details of the selected personnel in conjunction with the Ministry of Education, so as not to be mixed up with the details of the Western Khanate."

"The minister obeys the order."

"En." Kublai Khan said again to Boyan, "Boyan, I know that you have learned very well from your lord, but you must know that the battlefield is changing rapidly, and any factor such as time, place, opponent, and even the weather will cause me Fang’s strategy is different, resulting in poor results. This is an experience of facing the enemy. You cannot learn it from books. You must explore and summarize it yourself in actual combat. Don’t learn from the ancient Zhao Kuo who only talks on paper. More in the future General Dong and General Ashu learn this actual combat technique, they are all experts on the battlefield, they have been in and out of the dead, and they have rich experience, I have high hopes for you."

"Khan, I understand." Boyan knew that Kublai Khan's words were good words, just as his teacher Yin Tianya often said when he taught himself the art of martial arts, "The shape of the sky changes every day, but only changes." Only then can it be clear, and follow the time, only then can the spirit be removed from the form."

Kublai Khan was in a good mood and said with a smile: "General Dong, General A Shu, you two, don't hide your secrets."

"The minister will definitely not, don't worry, Da Khan."

"Well, the time left for you will not be too long, at most three or four years. In the past few years, you have trained my Mongolian iron cavalry into an invincible elite army. At that time, we will go all out to flatten the Southern Dynasty, and then advance to the west. Destroy the rebellious Khanate in one fell swoop."

Hearing from Kublai Khan that he still needs to prepare for three or four years, Ah Shu hurriedly stood up and said, "Khan, I don't think it will take so long. Since Meng Gong's death, the Nan people who are used to fighting are already There are only a handful of them, and besides, the new emperor of the Southern Dynasty has just ascended the throne, Jia Sidao is in control of the government, the government is not organized, and the Khan sent a hundred thousand troops to the ministers, and the ministers will lead the army south immediately, and within three years, the head of Zhao Yu'er will be brought back."

Kublai laughed and said: "Don't be impatient, General Ashu, you are only half right. Although the Southern Dynasty was in chaos, there were natural dangers along the Yangtze River and Huaihe River, and our dynasty had just quelled the chaos of Brother Alibu, and the treasury was in short supply. Grain, grass, ordnance are not enough to support you for three years. Is it possible to let a hundred thousand troops starve to attack the city? And the four Western Khanates are also waiting for me and the Southern Song Dynasty to fight for both sides, so as to reap the benefits of the fisherman. Therefore, in three or four years, we have to wait for the recovery of our national power, and at the same time, we have to wait for Liu Zheng’s navy in central Sichuan to achieve great success before we can wipe out the Southern Dynasties and rule the world.”

"Khan is a wise man, and he can only attack the Song Dynasty when the situation is ripe. If we rush to send troops now, once we form a stalemate, it will be unfavorable to us." Dong Wenbing continued.

Kublai Khan nodded and said: "General Dong is right. When the time comes, I will let you lead my Mongolian cavalry to calm the world for me."

"May I follow the Great Khan to rule the world and achieve eternal supremacy." The three of them knelt down and said in unison.

"Okay, what a dominator, Zhao Yu, even if your life star shines as the lord said, my iron cavalry will make you fall into eternal doom." Kublai Khan stood up suddenly and laughed arrogantly.

Lin'an thousands of miles away.

While I was reading in the imperial study, I suddenly sneezed several times, and thought to myself: "Hey, who is talking about me?"
