"Crown Prince Yan, Gongsun Zan, and Liu Hu came to ask for a meeting."

"Please come in."

Chu Tian was waiting for Xu You, Chen Ji, Chen Qun and others to come to see him, three lords from Monan asked for a meeting.

Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan had been serving Chu Tian for a long time, assisting the Lord of Monan Liu Hu to develop Dragon City in Monan.

At this point, Monan Longcheng was upgraded to a large city, and the teleportation array was opened with Xiacheng. As long as you pay a certain price, you can go directly to Xiacheng.

Chu Tian did not specifically summon Prince Yan and others, and they took the initiative to ask for help, which was enough to show that they had encountered a difficult problem, so they could not solve it themselves, so they could only ask Chu Tian, ​​who was the sect leader.

Soon Prince Yan, Gongsun Zan, Liu Hu and others arrived. Their clothes were different from those of the Central Plains, and they were covered in stubborn faces. Chu Tian almost couldn't recognize the two of them.

When Gongsun Zan met Chu Tian again, he was already afraid. At this time, Chu Tian was the general of the East and was in charge of the governor of Yanzhou, and his status was far higher than him. Gongsun Zan is still only the official position of the prefect of Youbeiping.

Moreover, although Chu Tian is just the governor of Yanzhou, in fact, the governor of Xuzhou, the governor of Qingzhou, and the governor of Yuzhou are all Chu Tian’s people...

Unfortunately, there was no official position of the admiral of the four states in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

As a local prince, Gongsun Zan still attaches great importance to the superiority and inferiority.

On the contrary, Prince Yan is not so restrictive.

Liu Hu was the lord of Mo Nan and his development was not very good. He directly defected to Chu Tian and obtained the help of Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan, and then he developed.

His face was worried.

"Our trip brought thirty diamond-level and five hundred gold-level and above war horses. Monan Long City has just been upgraded to a large city and has to spend a lot of gold and silver to build fortifications. Therefore, it is very tight... It is not that the war horses are not enough, but the cost of the teleportation array is expensive..."

Prince Yan sent the first batch of war horses to Xiacheng.

This batch of war horses is enough to recruit high-level cavalry.

Chu Tian sponsored Prince Yan, Gongsun Zan and others to develop in the south of the desert, with the purpose of saving the cost of raising good horses. Even if the transmission costs are added, the cost of raising good horses in the south of the desert is lower than that in the Central Plains. Cultivating crops is suitable for planting crops, and raising horses means sacrificing income from farmland.

"If I only sent the first batch of war horses, I should not mobilize all the troops, so that all three of them came to visit me."

Chu Tian's eyes swept across the three people, and it was obvious from their expressions that it was inappropriate.

Liu Hu said: "The Mongolian cavalry in Mobei... The lord of Monan claimed to have seen the Mongolian cavalry, and now the entire Monan is in chaos. After the National War, everyone knew that Mobei was the Mongolian Empire. You should know that Temujin was not a player. He acted according to his thinking mode, that is, he might massacre the city..."

As the lord of Monan, Liu Hu is usually fierce in nature, but he can't help but be afraid when it comes to Mongolian cavalry.

During the Mongolian cavalry expeditions, there were many records of massacres of the city.

The appearance of Mongolian cavalry in the south of the desert was enough to trigger an earthquake in the Han Empire.

"If Temujin plans to go south to conquer the Central Plains, then the problem will be serious."

Chu Tian could not determine whether the chaotic Central Plains had the ability to block the Mongol Empire's military front.

If the entire Han Empire joins forces, it will naturally defeat the Mongolian Iron Cavalry.

Prince Yan said: "The situation is not that bad. The Mongolian cavalry only seized a small piece of ranch in the south of the Mo River, and did not mean to go south in the entire line. It seems that they brought back too much population from the National War, and the resources in the north of the Mo River were not enough to support so many people, so they could only go south."

Liu Hu retorted: "But they have threatened our lords in the south of the desert and are snatching our ranch!"

"The threat from Mongolian cavalry is indeed a big problem, but I can't interfere in the affairs of Monan yet."

Facing the threat from the Mongol Empire, Chu Tian is currently unable to recover Mobei.

Chu Tian participated in the Battle of Mobei and knew how harsh the Gobi terrain between Mobei and Mobei was. The area of ​​Mobei in the main world was larger, making it more difficult to conquer.

"You must pacify Hebei and occupy Youzhou as soon as possible, otherwise you will not be able to join forces with us to resist the military front of the Mongol Empire. All the lords in Monan have formed an alliance because of the arrival of the Mongol Empire. If the Mongol Empire goes south, the Monan Alliance will temporarily resist its military front. At that time, at least a few great princes south of the Great Wall will stand up to turn the tide."

"One prince comes from Youzhou, one prince comes from Bingzhou, and one prince sends troops from Liangzhou. The three routes advance together to attack Mobei."

Prince Yan had a good grasp of the overall situation, and he directly pointed out the strategy of striking the Mongol Empire. If it weren't for his opponent, Prince Yan would now become a great prince in Youzhou.

Gongsun Zan said: "My brother is too arrogant to the Mongolian cavalry. My white horse will make them never come back!"

Seeing that Gongsun Zan was full of confidence, Liu Hu still said to attack him: "The terror of Mongolian cavalry is probably the white horse Yicong who specializes in dealing with foreign races, and is not the opponent of Mongolian cavalry."

When Gongsun Zan heard that Liu Hu had the ambitions of others and destroyed his majesty, he couldn't help but be angry: "When I go, I will come to the Mongolian cavalry in the south of the desert!"

"Please don't be impulsive, General White Horse."

Chu Tian made a statement to stop Gongsun Zan, who was irritable.

Chu Tian deeply agreed with Liu Hu's judgment.

Gongsun Zan and his white horse Yicong fought against the Wuhuan tribe, and suffered a little loss under the Wuhuan tribe. They were surrounded by the Wuhuan cavalry for several months.

Those who invaded the southern desert had repeatedly embarked on the Mongol Empire, which fought against many civilizations.

Temujin's rank is higher than that of the white horse Yiqiong, who is a light cavalry. Even Mu Huali's detective Ma Chi, probably could defeat Gongsun Zan.

Mu Huali was a hero in the second half of the Jin Dynasty, and was more outstanding than Gongsun Zan's performance in Youzhou.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly correct for Prince Yan and Liu Hu to come to Chu Tian for help.

The Mongol Empire obtained the population of the third national war no longer had fewer than that of the southern desert.

"You are actively involved in the formation of the Southern Union, focusing on defense. The Mongol Empire should not have the ability to digest tens of millions of people. It will take at least one or two years."

Chu Tian considered that the Mongol Empire had obtained a large population at one time, in order to appease these populations, Temujin could not be in a hurry to launch a war, otherwise this ten million population would easily revolt.

"How many people are there in Monan Longcheng now and how many cavalry?"

"Longcheng has a population of 570,000, plus the surrounding tribes, with about 900,000 people and about 40,000 professional cavalry. If the herdsmen are summoned, they can get 60,000 new cavalry. This is the terrible thing about the southern and northern deserts. The mobilization rate of recruitment is far higher than that of the farming civilization. However, the herdsmen's cavalry is almost the same as the low-level light cavalry. Once they join the war and do not plunder the spoils, their morale and loyalty will drop rapidly..."

40,000 professional cavalry, 60,000 herdsman cavalry!

Chu Tian was surprised by the great deal of the Lord of Monan.

The terrifying thing about nomadic civilization is that every household has a raising war horses and grew up on horseback. Once a war starts, a tribe of one million people can temporarily piece together more than 100,000 cavalry!

"You guys are like this..."

Chu Tian gave instructions to Prince Yan, Gongsun Zan, and Liu Hu to make arrangements.

Prince Yan nodded from time to time after hearing Chu Tian’s deployment.

Liu Hu had a ruthless look in his eyes, and he also recognized Chu Tian’s deployment with Gongsun Zan.

"If necessary, I will send two or three cavalry generals to help you."

Chu Tian set up a chess piece in Monan.

Since Prince Yan, Gongsun Zan, Liu Hu and others came to the lord's mansion, in order to win over these lords who defected to them from a long distance, Chu Tian set up a banquet to entertain him and discuss the details.

The population of Monan is more than 10 million, which is almost the same as the current Mobei. However, there has never been a large lord who can stand alone in Monan.

The grasslands in the south of the desert are too large and there are large cities as teleportation arrays. After a lord is defeated, he can take his tribe to migrate to other places, resulting in no lord who can unify the south of the desert.

The current lord Liu Hu, with a population of 900,000, is already one of the most advanced lords in the south of the desert.

This is probably the reason why Temujin took several years to unify Mobei.

Until now, only three or four large cities have appeared in the south of the Mo.

In other words, the current Monan has the possibility of unification. However, the emergence of the Mongol Empire has led to the alliance of the lords of Monan, so it is naturally impossible to join forces.

Prince Yan and the other two talked to Chu Tian about Mo Nan again and agreed to send a batch of war horses every month, then said goodbye.

"Mongol Empire..."

Chu Tian's eyes were ruthless.

Mobei corresponds to Monan. Sooner or later, he will recover Mobei and defeat the Mongol Empire.

At this time, a child who had just turned one year old had pulled Chu Tian's trousers and shouted in a slight voice: "Dad."

Chu Tian picked him up with one hand, while Xia Tianliang was holding Mulan's daughter, as if his son had fallen out of favor.

After the son gained the characteristic of "I was born to be useful", he grew faster than ordinary people.

Xia Tianliang asked, "It should have been the lord of the Monan area just now, right?"

Chu Tian replied: "The Mongol Iron Cavalry's troops have reached the south of the desert, but the two sides are still testing each other. Our Han Empire joined forces with Rome and Macedonia in the third national war to defeat the Mongolian cavalry. The Mongolian Empire seemed to be very afraid of our Han Empire, so he did not dare to go south directly. Otherwise, the lords in the south of the desert could not resist, and in the end they would have to rely on the princes in our pass to launch a large-scale northern expedition."

Xia Tianliang said naturally: "Then you can take over Hebei and Youzhou as soon as possible and border the south of the Mo River to reduce the cost of sending troops."

"I am just thinking that. Each prefecture and county immediately recruits troops and transports troops to Yanzhou. Within one or two years, he will pacify Hebei and occupy Youzhou within three years."

"I will go out with you."

"And I..."

After her daughter was born, Mulan was eager to try again and wanted to join the war.

Chu Tian couldn't help but have a headache. The women he looked for seemed to be very good at fighting, one was a commander-type and the other was a military general-type talent.

Xia Tianliang said: "My Divine Machinery Camp requires gunpowder and a coercion to be formed. According to the information I commissioned Xueyue to investigate, the Han Empire's technology in this area is currently monopolized by Mingguan. He is an enemy of his husband and cannot be willing to give this precious technology to him. Maybe ask Mi Zhu to Japan to see if he can obtain the corresponding drawings from the Japanese daimyo."

"I will instruct Mi Zhu to inquire."

Chu Tian knew that because the Japanese civilization was relatively weak, some Japanese names had special troops "Iron Artillery Teams", and their equipment was almost the same as that of the Shenji Camp.

As long as you have money, you may be able to take advantage of the conflicts between the Japanese daimyo and deal with them to buy the corresponding drawings.

In order to form the Shenji Camp, the price of the drawings is less than 100,000 taels of silver, Chu Tian can accept it.

If it really doesn't work, at worst, the fourth epic battle this year will be used to redeemed points directly - the premise is to have the corresponding drawings.
