(I think I can be so diligent that you are embarrassed not to give monthly tickets) Chapter 1024: Drinking Horses from the Yangtze River The climate in the Central Plains seems to make people coming from the grassland feel more and more uncomfortable. The more they go southeast, it is the same as on the grassland The completely different environment makes people feel uncomfortable both mentally and physically. Shanjiang Road is relatively the best place in the northwest. Although Mangdang Mountain blocks part of the warm wind from the south, the Yishui River in the east also makes the climate humid. The Mongolian and Yuan men who were used to galloping against the wind on the grassland all seemed a little sluggish after arriving at Shanjiang Road. The busiest people in the army are the doctors who come with the army. The acclimatization has caused many soldiers to lose the ability to fight. Fortunately, Meng Ge had been worried about the massive loss of war horses and did not appear. Because the isolation and execution were timely, the disease that could kill the war horses did not spread. Because he felt stuffy, Brother Meng had already taken off his golden armor. Even though I was wearing a single suit, I still felt a bit more depressed than here on the grassland. I'm used to the endless grassland, but now I feel like I can't see beyond three to five miles, which is probably the biggest reason for this depressing feeling. However, the beauty of the mountains, rivers and towns seen on this road also makes people feel a little emotional. "This is just the most exhausted place in the Sui Kingdom. If you go further east and south, it is said that not only is the scenery beautiful and picturesque, but it is also a land of plenty." Meng Ge pointed to the front, smiled and said: "Speaking of which, if not The Sui people themselves were in chaos. Even if my imperial commander arrived here so smoothly, he would never have thought of it. The ancestors of all generations have thought about leading troops into the Central Plains to drink from the Yangtze River, but because of our Meng Yuan'erlang's lack of understanding of the Central Plains climate. Due to the discomfort and the difficulty of attacking the city without infantry, the expedition was never possible. "In the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, besides the Great Khan, the highest ranking person was General Wang Ting. The generals of the Royal Court are generally held by direct relatives of the Great Khan, either his brothers or his descendants, which are equivalent to princes among the Han people. Therefore, since the founding of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, basically all the royal generals came from the Kuoke Taimeng family. At this time, sitting under Brother Meng on both sides were several important generals of this Eastern Expedition. Four of them were General Wang Ting named Kuoke Tai Meng, and one was General Heishan. However, just before the Eastern Expedition, Meng Ge issued an order to appoint Montenegro General Gai She as General Wang Ting, which also made Gai She the first general with a foreign surname in the history of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. "Dahan, it's nice here, but it always seems a bit cramped compared to the grassland. I still think it's better on the grassland, with horses running wildly as far as the eye can see. The mountains, rivers and towns here are all together, and there's not even a place where horses can gallop." When marching on the grassland, the army can spread out. But in the Central Plains, the march can only follow the road, and the team has to stretch out in a long line. " Kuo Ke, one of Wang Ting's generals. Tai Mengchuan said. In terms of age, Kuoketai Mengchuan is the eldest among the generals of the royal court. He is Brother Meng's uncle and has a strong influence in Meng Yuan. Counting Gaishe, there are a total of nine General Wang Ting who came with the army this time. In addition to these five people, there are four more who should have led their troops to Hexi Road by now. After entering the northwest, Meng Ge decided to divide his troops. Let Kuoktai Menglie, the general of Wangting who is familiar with the northwest, be the main general, and the other three generals of Wangting will assist him in leading the troops to the east, approaching Hedong Road. The other route was led by Meng Ge himself, taking the Shanjiang Road side, intending to avoid the Black Flag Army's troops and naval forces on Hexi Road, cross the Yishui River in Ping'an County, and enter Jiangbei Road. This time, the four royal court generals surnamed Kuoke Taimeng came with Brother Meng. In addition to Kuoke Tai Mengchuan, there was also the youngest royal court general Kuoke Taimeng Duobie. His father was leading the army against He died in the Daxue Mountain attack, so Meng Ge specially allowed him to inherit the title of General Wang Ting. You must know that the biggest difference between the Mongolian General Wang Ting and the Han princes is that General Wang Ting is not hereditary. ?? Glory only lasts one life. In the history of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, there are countless allusions in which the father was General Wang Ting and then declined in the next generation. There are two other people, one is named Kuoke Taimeng Xueya and the other is named Kuoke Taimeng Qingshui. The former is thirty-six years old this year and was promoted because of his outstanding military exploits in the war against the Buddha Sect. The latter is forty-one years old this year and is Meng Ge¡¯s clan brother. Qing Shui's father failed in the game with Meng Ge's father for the position of Great Khan, and finally died in depression. In order to win over their lineage, Meng Ge named Qing Shui the general of the royal court after inheriting the throne. Among these four people, Kuoke Taimeng Xueya¡¯s family has the weakest power. After all, he was just promoted. However, he has a wolf cavalry under his command that he personally trained, and they have repeatedly performed extraordinary feats in the war against the Buddha Sect. Brother Meng attaches great importance to this team. The Meng Yuan wolf cavalry is just a general term, and the regular cavalry of each tribe are called wolf cavalry. Only the Wangting Wolf Cavalry is the direct force of the Kuoke Taimeng family. Also owned by Meng YuanThe one with the best equipment and quality in the team. It seems that among the six people sitting here, there is only one outsider. He is General Gaishe of Montenegro. ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ Gaishe also has royal blood flowing through his body, but the country established by his ancestors was destroyed by the Meng Yuan a long time ago. Because their nation was so tough, the Golden Family did not even dare to implement the strategy they had always implemented after successful invasions, which was to try their best to reduce the number of males in the ruled tribe. The Black Mountain area is too far away from the royal court, and the control power of the Kuoktaimeng family is not very strong in the Black Mountain area. Therefore, the Meng Yuan court has always adopted a gentle policy towards the people in the Black Mountain area. "No matter how tired and depressing this place is, it is still many times richer than the richest pasture." Gaishe said in a low tone, not caring at all about the generals of the royal court named Kuoktaimeng. How hostile towards him. Gaishe even enjoyed this hostility, because it just showed his weight. If he was an insignificant person, those guys across from him who thought they had noble blood would never look at him. "Wealthier than the grassland?" Duobie looked down upon Gaishe the most, and he had no fear of Gaishe because of his youth and vigour: "General Gaishe, tell me, where is the richest place here?" "I don't know where the richness is here. But I know how poor there is on the grassland." Gaishe didn't even look at him and replied calmly: "You think the grassland is rich, then let me ask you, what else is there besides grass, horses, cattle and sheep?" "And" Duobie opened his mouth, but was speechless for a moment. His mouth was open for a full two minutes, but he couldn't think of anything else worthy of boasting on the grassland. Only then did he realize that these were the only things on the grassland. But he refused to be convinced, glared at Gai She and simply stopped talking. "The most beautiful thing on the grassland is just the grassland with herds of cattle and sheep. But here, there are famous mountains and rivers, cities and passes, plains and water towns, beautiful women, and piles of gold and silver. The brocade clothes of the Han people The beauty of the Han people is unmatched in the world. The profoundness of the Han people's writing is unparalleled in the world. The elegance of the Han people's etiquette is unparalleled in the world. " Gai She said coldly: "I think the grassland is the most beautiful place. That's because your horizons are too small." Brother Meng took a look and smiled: "What Gai She said is not unreasonable, but the grassland is not so unbearable. Only then did we give birth to wolf-like warriors and train outstanding generals like you. The Han people do have many things that are remarkable and worth learning, but we should not belittle ourselves." Gai She nodded slightly: "The Great Khan. What it means is that I just think that some people's eyes are looking too close. He sees a copper coin one step away, but he can't see a piece of silver three steps away, let alone five steps away. There is a golden mountain outside. So he can only hold that copper coin and think that he is the richest man in the world. "Who are you talking about?" Don't stand up and ask angrily. Gai She ignored him at all, stood up and hugged Brother Meng: "Khan, I want to go to the front and have a look. Although Ping'an County is not very big, it is the seat of Ping'an County after all, and the resistance of the Han people will not be very big. "Weak, this is a rare opportunity for military training. Only by making our soldiers more familiar with how to capture cities can we go further in the Central Plains." Brother Meng knew that his tribe didn't like Gai She, so he agreed to Gai She. Gai Shechang's request: "Go and let the warriors of the Montenegrin Army become stronger in the war with the Han people. Men from the deepest part of the grassland, polish your scimitars with the blood of the enemy." "Yes" Gai Shechang First, place your right arm across your chest in salute. "Great Khan, it's time for you to think about something." Gaishe, who was walking to the door of the tent, suddenly stopped again, looked back at Brother Meng and said, "After Ping'an County, you will reach Yishui. It hasn't rained in the past month. , this is good news for crossing the river. We have no boats, and the merchant ships at the ferry in Ping'an County have fled early. If you want to cross the river, it is not enough to rely on the fishermen's boats in Ping'an County. There are many people around you now. If they have nothing to do, if the knives in their hands are rusty, they can re-sharpen them by chopping down trees." Meng Ge frowned slightly. Gaishe's suggestion did make sense, but the way he spoke was very disturbing. Comfortable. "Gai She" Meng Chuan stood up, looked at Gai She and said, "If you think the scimitar at my waist is rusty, would you like me to pull it out and show it to you?" Gai She replied coldly."If you can only draw your scimitar when facing the same prairie people, I can't think of any words to praise your bravery. If you can only see my disrespect for you but not If you don't deserve to be respected, you will always be a loser." He looked at Meng Ge: "I always respect you because you are a great leader and you dare to go to war with the Buddha. This makes me full of respect. I am willing to walk in front of your horse to pave the way, and I am also willing to draw my sword in the direction of your finger. But Your Majesty, it is not difficult for your horse to drink from the Yangtze River" He said every word. Said: "If you are willing, your people can even drink your horses for you on the vast seaside in the far east of the mainland. The difficulty is not to conquer a place, but to occupy it forever. The Han people have so many good things, We not only want to steal it, but we also want to make it our own. And your subordinates obviously haven't thought of this yet So, I'm a little worried." After saying this, he turned and walked out of the tent. "Who the hell is he!" Duo Bie yelled angrily. Brother Meng waved his hand and looked at Gai She's back, thoughtfully.
