    Chapter 54: The significance of sending troops to Hexi

    Although Xindu came to defect with the emperor's seal of the Yuan Dynasty, Liu Huai had already been mentally prepared, but when he heard the news of Kublai Khan's death, he was still extremely surprised. Kublai Khan, the great hero of the generation, actually died like this, and it was still  Died in Dou Mo's hands!

    Liu Huai was not happy with Dou Mo and other Han ministers who were originally attached to the Mongols. He only reluctantly used these old ministers for the sake of the stability of the Han Dynasty. In fact, he didn't like them very much. He didn't expect Dou Mo to have such integrity after being kidnapped.  []

    The majestic Mongol Khan, the ruler of the Yuan Empire actually died in the hands of a powerful Confucian scholar!

    Liu Huai was playing with the Yuan Dynasty emperor's jade seal with both hands. Kublai Khan relied on it to control the power of life and death in the entire Yuan Empire. With the jade seal, millions of troops had to go on conquests, fighting thousands of miles, and laying dead bodies like hemp.

    The empire with its huge and vast territory relies on this small jade seal to operate!

    Looking at Xindu lying motionless on the ground, Liu Huai was filled with emotions. It was only a mere year ago that the Liu family and his son had to look at Xindu's face. Now, time has changed, and the commander-in-chief of the Yuan army who was so high back then also has to look at Xindu's face.  She had to fall at his feet!

    After Dou Mo killed Kublai Khan two days ago, the civil and military ministers who followed Kublai Khan lost the support in their hearts. The team was in chaos.  Taking the opportunity to steal the emperor's jade seal, he fled on horseback overnight and defected to the Han Dynasty.

    Xindu lay uneasy on the ground at this time. He was unwilling to return to the primitive and backward grassland and live a barbaric life of eating hair and drinking blood, just like he was unwilling to be sent to the mountains by Kublai Khan until the sun never sets. Therefore, he weighed  Fan Hou did not hesitate to choose to abandon the hopeless Meng Yuan and turn to the prosperous Han Dynasty.

    It has to be said that Xindu was very lucky. At this time, Liu Huai's subordinates were in need of a Mongolian. Although the Yuan Empire had been torn apart under the attack of the Han Dynasty, and talents from all over the world were flocking to join the Han Dynasty, but among these people,  Not a single Mongolian worth his salt.  At this time, the Han Dynasty urgently needed to set an example by surrendering to the Mongols!

    As for Xindu, a dignified Mongolian nobleman and a general who guards the capital, he is a very good candidate in terms of identity and status. And most importantly, Xindu no longer has the fearlessness and courage of the Mongolians in the past.  Of great courage!

    "Your Highness, the army has been gathering for a long time!"

    At this time, Yulin General Wang Xiaozhong reminded him.

    Having lost Kublai Khan¡¯s goal of conquest, Hexi currently has little strategic value.

    In the Hexi region, various forces are so complicated that even the Mongols cannot control them. Once captured, a large number of troops will be stationed to consolidate their rule. To the north is the grassland and to the south is Shaanxi. The Hexi Corridor also connects to the northwest. There is no Tunji II  A hundred thousand troops would have no effect at all.

    The only benefit of occupying Hexi is to obtain the production land of war horses. However, with 200,000 troops stationed, it is obvious that based on the current situation in Hexi, it cannot be self-sufficient. It also needs a steady stream of grain and grass supplies from Hedong!

    The Hetao Plain has been the frontline base for attacking the grasslands since ancient times. However, at this time, the Han Dynasty had not yet unified China, and there was no capital supply, which caused huge consumption!

    Therefore, sending troops to Hexi at this time has become a loss-making business!

    There is not much strategic value, there is not much military benefit, but economically it will cost you a lot!

    "The heroic cavalry troops stay, and the rest of the troops retreat to the camp!" Liu Huai ordered Wang Xiaozhong.  Although Liu Huai has no interest in Hexi at this time, this does not prevent him from making certain decisions!

    ¡°It¡¯s an order!¡±

    Then, Liu Huai looked at Xin Du who was still uneasy and said:

    "Lead the way for my army, and when you find the bodies of Dou Mo and Kublai Khan, I will make you a marquis!"

    Hearing this, Xindu felt his blood surge up. Such a good thing had happened to him. At this time, in the Hexi region, the ethnic minority forces were nothing more than scattered sand. The Mongolians and their cowardly Xuewei, who numbered less than 200, were able to run rampant.  Only three thousand men and horses are needed to gallop freely in Hexi!  Xindu knew that the size of the Xiaoqi Army exceeded 10,000, which was still the elite of Liu Fuheng's time. It was more than enough to deal with the nomads in Hexi!

    At this time, Xindu just hoped to send troops quickly to fight back to the valley where Kublai Khan was!

    On Shizhou City, Liu Huai looked at the more than 10,000 Han cavalry galloping away with great momentum, and there was some hope in his eyes.  A loyal Han official like Dou Mo must not be allowed to bury his body in a foreign land!  The Han army will never sit idly by and ignore it!

    This time the Han army sent more than ten thousand cavalry into Hexi. It had no strategic significance. The only purpose was to findReturn to Dou Mo's body.

    Let the heroes return home!

    *************************************************

    Prince Qin¡¯s Mansion in Jingzhao (today¡¯s Xi¡¯an, Shaanxi Province)

    As soon as the news of the large-scale Han army gathering in Shizhou reached Jingzhao, the entire Qin Palace was nervous. One hundred thousand Han troops, all of them cavalry, were urgently mobilized from Jinan, Shandong to Hedong. Naturally, it was not just for a simple purpose.  Long distance training!  I am afraid that the sword of the Han Dynasty has been swung towards Hexi, pointing at the King of Qin.

    The shadow of war shrouded the Qin Palace, diluting the joy brought by Mang Gelu¡¯s troops to Henan to occupy Luoyang!  At this time, the total number of all the troops mobilized under the rule was only one hundred thousand, and more than half of the troops in the Xingqingguan area of ????Luoyang were assembled to defend Shijia.

    At this time, Brother Ma was filled with hatred. As long as he was given another two or three years, with the Guanzhong, Jingzhao, and Luoyang areas under his command, he could manage an elite army of 300,000 people. By then, he would have  Capital is fighting for hegemony in the Central Plains!

    And now all this good situation is about to be destroyed by a big man who rises out of thin air!

    Looking at the extremely nervous Mang Ge La, Lian Xixian could not help but shook his head slightly and said with emotion, this King of Qin Mang Ge La was far worse than his father Kublai Khan in terms of both literary and military skills and in all aspects!

    I think back then, when Kublai Khan, who had only a few soldiers and few generals, was competing for the throne with the Mongolian royal family Alibuge, he remained calm and composed even in the most critical moments, unlike today's Mang Ge La, who only briefly heard about the movements of the Han army.  So nervous!

    "Your Highness King Qin, you don't have to worry so much. Although the land west of Hexi is nominally under the jurisdiction of your highness, the leaders of various ministries support their own troops and follow orders but not propaganda. They don't pay a penny of taxes. Even if the land west of Hexi is lost, it will not hurt your highness.  Muscles!" Lian Xixian persuaded.

    "If the Han army captures Hexi, they can march south at any time and march straight into Jingzhao. How can my army stop it? Sir, please teach me!" At this time, Qin Wang Mang Ge La lost his usual calmness and became a little excited under fear.

    "In the land west of Hexi, there are many ethnic groups and tribes, so the Han army can easily attack. However, if you want to occupy it for a long time, it is impossible without a lot of effort. Your Highness, don't worry. If the Han army wants to digest Hexi, it will not be possible."  It¡¯s impossible to govern for three to five years!¡± Lian Xixian added.

    "Oh! Are you sure, sir?" King Qin's brother Lala looked happy when he heard this.

    "Hexi has been an important place for the Han people to set out from ancient times. Although the Hetao Plain is fertile, the local ethnic groups are at odds with each other and the products are not enough to support the garrison. The Han army has to solve complex tribal problems, manage the Hetao, and cultivate fields to produce food.  It will take several years to complete!" Lian Xixian explained in detail.

    "What if the Han army doesn't take control of Hexi first, but chooses to march south directly?" Qin King Mang Ge La asked with a worried look on his face.

    Lian Xixian shook his head after hearing this, and then said: "The Han army's food road is too long and the cost is huge. The Han Dynasty's Hedong does not produce food. It needs to transport food from Dadu and even Shandong. The transportation rate under this is twenty  One stone at a time! Our army only needs to clear the fields with trees and defend according to the capital, and we can overwhelm the entire Han Dynasty in less than a month!"

    Jingzhao is an ancient capital. The city wall is quite tall and deep. It only needs tens of thousands of infantry to defend it against the siege of 300,000 troops.

    After listening to Lian Xixian's analysis, Qin King Mang Ge La suddenly turned from worry to joy and said: "In this way, I can sit back and relax. Humph! Damn big man, just wait! In three years, I will make you look good!"  "
