Chapter 968 The great detour begins!
"Trust you with 100,000 Mongolian cavalry, go out from Longxi County, pass through the western Sichuan Plateau, enter the Southern Barbarians, and use Mu Ke's influence to incite the Southern Barbarian tribe to revolt and expel Wu Han."
Chu Tian handed over the tiger talisman from the Mongolian Army in Mobei to Huoan.
In order to weaken the general's control over various legions, the Chutian forces began to mobilize their troops with tiger talismans. Each legion would mobilize them only when they saw the tiger talisman.
The reason why Huoan was chosen as the main general who completed the Mongolian detour was because Huoan had a mountain marching general like Gao Xianzhi.
Gao Xianzhi, who can easily cross the Pamir Plateau, was the top mountain marching general in the Han Empire, and was also the main force general in this Mongolian-style detour.
With marching generals, an expeditionary army is also needed.
Chu Tian chose the Mongolian cavalry with strong endurance.
Mongolian horses are not picky about feed and are not difficult to survive on the plateau.
One hundred thousand Mongolian cavalry used 300,000 Mongolian horses as the main force of the expedition.
Chu Tian believed that Liu Bei would not deploy scouts in the scope of Tubo.
After all, the Mongolian detour is really incredible. So far, no one has tried to detour from Liangzhou to the Southern Barbarians.
In "Lord", because of the characteristics of generals and the existence of teleportation arrays, the success rate of Mongolia's great detours has increased, so many things that seemed impossible have become possible.
Another condition for the Mongolian detour is that Mu Ke is well-known among the Southern Barbarian tribes. As long as Mu Ke returns to the Southern Barbarians, the Southern Barbarian tribe will rise up.
The success of an action is determined by many factors, and Chu Tian strives to gather these factors.
Huoan took over the tiger talisman. This tiger talisman could mobilize 100,000 Mongolian cavalry. The abilities of Mongolian cavalry were all experienced by the princes of the Han Empire who fought with Temujin: "Temujin was training troops in the northern part of the desert and really left a precious wealth."
"Regain the Southern Barbarians and attack Chengdu, I will set up a banquet in Xiacheng to welcome you. As long as the dynasty is in the Western Regions, the Huo family will be kings for generations and be the night watchman in the Western Regions."
Chu Tian made a promise to Huo An.
Huo'an provided a lot of help when he was competing for the Central Plains in Chutian.
In addition, Huo'an guarded the Western Regions Protectorate, helped the Han Empire to protect the territory of the 36 countries in the Western Regions, and reclaimed farmland in the Western Regions, which was a great achievement.
He has been kings for generations, and he is a king of a different surname, so he no longer has higher qualifications for rewards.
Huo An smiled bitterly: "I can only do my best to detour from the strange western Sichuan Plateau. I don't know when I will arrive at the Southern Barbarians."
In the backyard of the Xia Palace, Mu Ke brought Huo An's son and daughter to visit Huo Qing who married into the Xia Palace. The Xia Palace, Chu Tian's children, Chu Wu, Chu Xuan and Chu Qi, were all in the backyard, and several second-generation figures stared at each other, a little afraid of being alive.
Although they are still young, as great princes, they are destined to be a domineering figure in the main world in the future.
During the process of Chu Tian's competition in the Central Plains, the several families that supported Chu Tian all became large families of aristocratic families, and the Huo family in the Western Regions became night watchmen of the Chu family in the Central Plains, which lasted for hundreds of years.
"You also have to work hard to have your own child in order to have a certain status in the Xia Palace."
Mu Ke whispered to remind Huo Qing.
Huo Qingyouyou said, "I want to, too, but..."
Chu Tian was busy with war and had many harems to deal with, so Huo Qing was in a dilemma.
"Ke Ke, it's time for us to leave. Qingqing must take good care of ourselves."
After Huoan took over the Hu Fu and the eastern Sichuan topographic map, he prepared to conduct a large detour with Mu Ke and led 100,000 Mongolian cavalry.
As the former leader of the Southern Barbarian tribe, Mu Ke is an indispensable core figure in this great detour.
"Let the two children stay in Prince Xia's Mansion."
Huo An gave Mu Ke a wink.
Although Mu Ke didn't know what happened, she chose to believe Huo An and decided to temporarily hand over her two children to Huo Qing for raising.
Let the two descendants of the Huo family stay in the Xia Palace for a period of time and have friendship with several descendants of the Chu family, and the relationship between the two families will be closer in the future.
Huo Qing nodded: "I will be optimistic about them."
"What the hell happened?"
After Mu Ke left Prince Xia's mansion, he was reluctant to part with his son and daughter, but he knew that Huo An must have a reason, so he made such a choice.
"Ke Ke, we want to return to the Southern Barbarians. This time it may take a year or two and we don't have the energy to take care of our two children."
Huo An's words are very serious.
As we enter our thirties, we must be responsible. Moreover, if the Mongolian-style detour is successful, the Huo family in the Western Regions can be king for generations and become the guardian family of the Chu family in the Central Plains.
According to the Japanese model, it is equivalent to the relationship between Daming and the retainers of the Giant Period.
Huo An briefly mentioned the journey of the big detour with Mu Ke.
Mu Ke widened his eyes: "It is simply incredible to attack the Southern Barbarians from the western Sichuan Plateau!"
"Weapons are treacherous, and sometimes they can win if they are unexpected. It is not impossible to attack the Southern Barbarians from Longxi County. We once set out from Luntai City, crossed the Pamir Mountains, attacked the Dayuan Kingdom, and crossed the Tianshan Mountains, and attacked the Wusun Kingdom. It was also quite difficult."
Huoan has many experience in mountain marching, so Chu Tian really found the right person.
Huoan and Mu Ke came directly to Lintao County in Longxi County.
Hundreds of thousands of Mongolian cavalry arrived here one after another, bringing 300,000 war horses.
Only Chu Tian, who occupied the grassland and claimed to be the Great Shanyu, could be so arrogant that he mobilized 300,000 war horses, as well as countless weapons and food and supplies on an expedition.
This is the economic advantage.
Oda Nobunaga can conquer other daimyos with its economy and population, and Chutian can also implement the Mongolian roundabout tactics based on its economic and population advantages.
"Our Western Regions Protectorate tightens his belt and lives. Every time he starts a war, he has to sell his money. The Central Plains is really rich. The troops, horses, food and grass for an expedition can be prepared in a blink of an eye."
Huo An could bet that Chu Tian should have thought of the big detour in a hurry, but with the financial resources and population of the Central Plains, as long as Chu Tian makes up his mind to mobilize resources and prepare supplies for 100,000 cavalry.
One hundred thousand Mongolian cavalry, all of whom were soldiers and horses.
This group of Mongolian cavalry did not know their purpose, and they only followed the orders of the generals who received the tiger talisman.
Another advantage of mobilizing Mongolian cavalry from Mobei to conduct an expedition is that it is to cover up people's eyes and ears. Liu Bei, the Tongque could not reach his hand to the distant Mobei.
Huo'an generals Gao Xianzhi, Li Siye and Wang Zhongsi were recruited as generals on the expedition.
As for Huo Qubing and Ban Chao, they stayed in Dayuan and prevented Ogedei from attacking the Western Regions Protectorate.
The 400,000 soldiers and horses from the Western Regions Protectorate were motionless.
Rebuilding the Mongol Empire's Ogedei was always a huge threat. The Mongolian cavalry had very strong mobility, and even Chu Tian was very alert to Ogedei and did not dare to mobilize the troops of the Western Regions Protectorate again.
