I have 800,000 private soldiers. The emperor forces me to hand over military power?

Mobei.

On the desolate and vast grassland, the weather is gloomy and dark clouds cover.

The howling north wind swept across the grassland wantonly, bringing with it a biting chill and the smell of sand and dust, making people tighten their collars involuntarily.

For the Turks who live on the Mobei grasslands all year round and make a living by grazing and plundering the people on the Daxin border, today is destined to be a sad day.

The camp of the Turkic Klei tribe and the Naiman tribe was even more deserted, with mournful sounds everywhere.

In the battle of Panlong Pass in Shuobei, one hundred thousand Turkic cavalry were wiped out.

Among them, the Kelie tribe and the Naiman tribe, ruled by the great Khan Temur, suffered the heaviest casualties. More than 50,000 warriors from the Kele tribe and the Naiman tribe were buried forever at Panlong Pass in Shuobei.

They are all great young men in their twenties, and they will be the mainstays of these two tribes in the next ten or even twenty years.

At this moment, they all became nameless wild ghosts outside Panlong Pass.

What hit the Klei tribe and the Naiman tribe even more deeply was that the prodigy Khan Temur, who once led these two tribes to dominate the Mobei grassland, was also seriously injured in the battle of Panlong Pass and is still in a coma. .

Timur's serious injury was undoubtedly the last straw that broke the Turks' morale.

The Turkic Empire, which was originally composed of several large and small tribes on the Mobei grasslands, suddenly fell to the edge of disintegration.

Timur's military advisor, Kurdje, temporarily took over the military and political affairs of the entire Turkic Empire, and was thinking anxiously about how to solve the current predicament facing the Turkic Empire.

At this time, outside a large tent in the Turkic camp, there were soldiers wearing armor and swords, and from time to time there were Chinese doctors who were walking in and out of it with fearful expressions.

"Report——"

"Your Majesty, the Great Khan has woken up. Please come to the big tent to discuss matters!"

Suddenly, a hurried Turkic messenger appeared outside Kurlie's tent and announced to him loudly.

"What?"

Hu Erlie stood up from the chair in a hurry, not thinking about how to prevent the building from falling.

He hurriedly got up and ran outside the tent, asking as he walked: "Is the Khan awake?"

"That's good, that's good!"

While he was talking, Kuerlie hurried to the big tent where Timur was and saw Timur who had just woken up from a coma.

At this moment, Timur's originally sunken and thin cheeks became older, as if the oil in the lamp had dried up.

"Khan, you finally woke up!"

Khurlie knelt down in front of Timur's window and continued with tears in his eyes: "Khan, you have been in a coma for a day and a night, but you have made the ministers and the generals of the empire worried!"

Ahem!

Timur, who was lying on the hospital bed, coughed twice weakly and asked weakly: "Kurlie, where are we now?"

Khürlie replied: "Great Khan, we have returned home. In our own home on the Mobei grassland, the people of the Kelei tribe and the Naiman tribe are all with you, Great Khan."

Um!

Timur nodded lightly and asked: "Where is Chen Huaian? He didn't lead his troops to pursue him on the grassland, right?"

Kuerlie said: "Great Khan, don't worry. Chen Huaian and the Han army are not chasing us. This Mobei grassland is our home. If Chen Huaian dares to invade Mobei, he doesn't need to do it himself, and he will live forever." God take care of him!"

"This Mobei grassland is the home of our Turkic people, and it is not a place where Chen Huaian and the Han army can run wild at will!"

Um!

Timur nodded again, acknowledging Khurlie's statement.

After all, the terrain conditions in Mobei are complex and the climate is harsh and changeable. It is difficult to accurately find Timur's camp on the desolate grassland.

What's more, this Mobei grassland is the home ground of Timur and his Turkic warriors. Chen Huaian's Tiefutu heavy cavalry may not be able to be used here.

There are no external worries at the moment. As long as the internal worries are resolved, Timur can still secure his position as the Great Khan of the Turkic Empire.

During this southern expedition, the Turkic army abducted no less than 50,000 young and middle-aged Han men and women in the Shuobei area, and more than 30,000 women of childbearing age.

As long as Timur holds the throne, he can pave the way for the family's grandchildren.

Now that he has enough women to give birth, 20 years from now, one of his grandchildren will surely be able to conquer and fight. He will once again form a Turkic army of more than 100,000 and march southward to avenge Yumuchuan and Panlong Pass for him. They were defeated miserably by the bloody feud between Chen Polu and his son.

When he thought of this, two more rays of hope burst out in Timur's cloudy eyes.

He asked again: "Kurlie, when the news that the empire's southern expeditionary army was defeated at Panlong Pass came back to the grassland, how did the tribes react?"

Kuerlie hesitated for a moment and said, "Reporting to the Great Khan, the situation is not optimistic!"

"The news of the defeat of the army spread back to Mobei, especially after the news that the Great Khan was injured came back, the leaders of each tribe were ready to take action."

"On the one hand, they are putting pressure on the Klei tribe and the Naiman tribe, and want to fight for more pensions for the soldiers of their respective tribes who died in battle;"

"On the other hand, it also shows that he is eager to seize the position of the Great Khan. In short, he has different thoughts and hidden agendas."

"snort--"

Ahem!

Just as Timur was about to snort coldly to express his dissatisfaction, he accidentally pulled it on his back. The wound was pricked by Fang Tian's painted halberd thrown by Chen Huaian. The tearing pain made him cough uncontrollably.

Speaking of which, Timur is also a fortune teller.

The tip of the Fangtian painted halberd thrown by Chen Huaian was only half an inch away from Timur's heart.

Otherwise, even if Bian Que is reincarnated, Hua Tuo will not be able to save Timur's life.

"Sweat profusely, calm down, be careful not to injure the wound!"

Seeing Temur's anger coming from his heart, the military advisor Kuerlie hurriedly stepped forward to help him and asked Temur not to get angry to prevent his wound from bursting.

With the help of Khurgere, Timur forced himself to sit up on the bed.

Then, he said with cold eyes: "These are unfamiliar wolf cubs, have I not given them enough by Ben Khan over the years?"

As he spoke, Timur's tone suddenly became sharp, and he said angrily: "Hurlie, please immediately pass on this Khan's oral order and ask the leaders of each tribe to discuss matters in this Khan's tent!"

"I want to see what kind of wolf cub it is. I can't wait to sit on this wolf-headed chair under my butt!"

"Wei Chen obeys the order!"

"Come here, help me change my clothes and armour. The wounds on Chen Huaian's hand from the halberd painted in the sky are just superficial, but they can't hurt my muscles and bones!"

"As you command!"

...

That night.

Mobei grassland, in the tent of Great Khan Timur.

Except for the Kele tribe and the Naiman tribe, the leaders (deputy leaders) of the other seven grassland tribes gathered in the big tent to discuss the aftermath of the Turkic army's defeat in the southern expedition.

In the center of the big tent, Temur, who had put on a traditional Turkic battle uniform and a prairie wolf fang-shaped helmet, sat on a wolf-head chair.

On both sides are the leaders (deputy leaders) of the seven major tribes.

Timur was full of energy and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, the imperial army failed in this southern expedition, and one hundred thousand Turkic warriors died on the battlefield."

"This person has passed away, but the living is like this!"

"How should the empire go in the future, and where should the millions of Turkic people go? You can speak freely, but there is no need to worry!"

"Dear Timur Khan, I thought..."

"..."

For a time, the leaders of the Turkic tribes in the big tent stood up one after another, expressed their opinions in front of Timur, and fought for the interests of their tribes.

The tribal leaders were all talking, and the sound of arguments in the big tent was endless.

at the same time.

Under the bright moonlight on the Mobei grassland, an unknown number of cavalry were walking through the night grassland under the moonlight.

The leader of the army was Huo Qubing, the leading general of the Longcheng Northern Expedition, who was sent north to conquer the Turks on the orders of King Chen Huaian of the Jin Dynasty.

"Report——"

"Reporting to the general, a Turkic camp has been discovered ten miles ahead!"

At this time, a scout riding a tiger and leopard hurriedly rode to report.

Hearing this, Huo Qubing's resolute face finally showed a smile. Emperor Tian had paid off and finally allowed him to find the Turkic camp.

At this time, Huo Qubing had no idea that what he found by accident was actually the camp of Timur, the great Khan of the Turks.

Unexpectedly, the leaders (deputy leaders) of several major tribes in the Turkic Empire were also among them.

Out of the instinct and intuition of a hussar general, Huo Qubing immediately ordered:

"Here's the order, the whole army discards all baggage except combat equipment and moves forward lightly, outflank the Turkic camp in a roundabout way, and set off!"

"I will obey your orders!"
