Father can be an enemy to the country

In the king's tent.

Wanhu from the Wuliangha tribe and Wanhu from the Wengniute tribe had different opinions. One wanted to fight and the other wanted to withdraw, but they both said no... After finishing their talk, they all looked at their king.

The predecessors of the Wuliangha Sanbu were the three Thousand Households under the Shanyang Wanhu Prefecture of the Yuan Dynasty. Originally it was the Uluse under the rule of the descendants of Temuge Orchijin, Genghis Khan's younger brother. For generations, the descendants of Temu Geor Chijin have been in charge of the Ten Thousand Households. This was the case in Azasili.

In the Northern Yuan Dynasty, officials and titles began to be indiscriminately granted. Azasili was named King of Liao because of his bloodline, and his three thousand-household offices were also upgraded to three ten thousand-household offices. This is the origin of the three parts of Wuliangha.

Of course, they multiplied in the Yuan Dynasty for hundreds of years, and did not lose much population at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. Now the three groups only have nearly 60,000 string-controlled cavalry, and it is not an exaggeration to upgrade them to Wanhufu.

But no matter how they were promoted, Azashili would still have bloodline suppression on them. Moreover, he himself was directly under the jurisdiction of the Wengniute Department, and Tamerlane was just in charge of it for him.

In Mongolian, ‘Wengniute’ originally means ‘people with a king’.

~~

"My king has not hidden his whereabouts. All the ministries below know that we are back, and 80% of the Ming army also knows." Azasili thought for a moment and said, "It's very possible that they didn't take us seriously at all."

"Then we have to teach them a lesson, otherwise the Han people will go crazy!" Tulu Huchaer gritted his teeth and said, "Anyway, I have no shame in going back to find Naha, and they will laugh me to death!"

"We really can't go back." Azashili had the same view, but he was more rational. "Wengniute's troops were here in the first place to prevent someone from occupying Horqin and blocking our retreat to the northeast."

"If we leave here, whether we go to find Naha or go back to the Northeast directly, we will give up Horqin to the Ming army. In this way, those guys in Qingzhou will become turtles in the urn?" Azashili continued:

"It doesn't matter if those people come out of Naha, but what about the Uziyet tribe? We can't just ignore them, right?"

For a hundred years, the three tribes have been intermarried with each other and have long been connected by blood and become one body. They don't care about anyone, and they can't care about the Uziyet Department.

"Then the only way is to drive away the Ming army." Naturally, Tajie Timur wanted to follow the king's footsteps, and immediately changed his tune and said: "With our military strength, we should be able to do it."

"This sounds like a human saying." Tuolu Huchaer's expression softened a little, he put his right hand on his left chest, bowed slightly and said: "Your Majesty, our Uliangha tribe is willing to be the vanguard and meet the Ming army."

"No, don't act separately." Azasili shook his head decisively and said: "Continue to gather troops and don't give the Ming army a chance to defeat them. Let them either fight a decisive battle with our entire army or withdraw obediently."

"Okay, let them make their own choice." Tuolu Huchaer nodded and followed suit.

~~

But Azashiri's confidence did not last until the next day, because that night, he received news of the fall of Gyeongju City.

Tuluhuchaer and Tabin Timur were also dumbfounded.

They never expected that the 20,000 cavalry in front of them were not the main force of the Ming army...

"The city wall of Qingzhou is so high and thick. There must be at least 20,000 to 30,000 troops in the city, right?" Tamerlane, the Tajie, was dumbfounded and asked, "How many troops did the Ming army dispatch, 200,000 or 300,000?"

"They should have succeeded in a sneak attack." Tolu Huchaer said with a livid face: "Otherwise, it would have been impossible to capture Qingzhou City so quickly."

"Whether it's a sneak attack or not, no one without tens of thousands of troops would dare to attack Qingzhou City." Azasili also said with a gloomy look: "And looking at their confident posture, we know that there will definitely be a large force behind to support them. ”

After saying that, he couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and walked around the tent: "This time the Ming army is not making a small fuss, but is using the whole country's strength to wipe us out!"

"Yes." Tabing Timur and Tuolu Huchaer nodded together and said: "No wonder the Ming army is so violent. It turns out that the big head is behind..."

"Then, Your Majesty, what should we do?" Tajie Timur retreated again: "According to the speed of the Ming army, they will reach Horqin tomorrow. If we don't retreat tonight, it will be too late."

"You're too far gone to withdraw!" Tolu Hucha'er scolded: "The Ming army is here, and you still dare to withdraw? Do you want Uziyet's tribe and Naha Chu to be completely wiped out? We are going to die. It has to be nailed here too!”

"That's right." Azashili did not reprimand Tolu Hucha'er for his rude words, but agreed: "Without Naha's wind-blocking wall, our strength alone would not be able to withstand the Ming Dynasty's attack. It’s also a dead end.”

"When your lips are dead and your teeth are cold, you can't care so much anymore." He said with a long sigh:

"Pass my order and send another team of messengers to Qingyun Mountain, so that King Kaiyuan can quickly lead his people to join me. I will hold off the Ming army for them for up to five days..."

After a pause, he changed his words: "No, within three days at most, let him quickly send an army to support us. Otherwise, if the Ming army cuts off the way back east, we will not be able to blame him."

After the soldier went out, Tamerlane reminded the king: "We still have to send someone to tell Feng Hai Sanan Da Xi, and tell him not to wait for others, but to come and join us as soon as possible."

Fenghai Sanan replied that he was the Wanhu of the Wujiyete tribe...

Azashili thought about it for a moment, then shook his head and ordered another soldier: "Go and tell Feng Hai Sanan Da Xi, don't come back in a hurry, and you must move with the large army to avoid causing trouble for Naha." Become cannon fodder.”

"Ah?" Tabi Timur was surprised when he heard this: "Why is this?"

"Idiot, the two of us will have to endure huge sacrifices." Tulu Huchaer said very clearly: "If the Uziyet tribe is sacrificed again, even if we escape back to the northeast, we will inevitably be eaten by Naha Chu. Destiny. So Uziyet should save his strength."

"That's right." Azashili nodded and said to the soldier: "Tell him what Tolu Hucha'er said and tell him to keep Uziyet."

"Yes!" the soldier responded, hurried out, and flew to Qingyun Mountain overnight.

After the sound of horse hooves faded away, Azashili looked at Tolu Hucha'er again and said, "You should also go back and make it clear to the thousands of households below that tomorrow's battle is a matter of life and death, so you must not make the same old habit!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty!" Tulu Hucha'er patted his chest and said, "I will tell them that anyone who dares to escape will be killed without mercy and his whole family will be demoted as slaves!"

"Yes." Azashili nodded and said, "No matter what, we have to hold on until the reinforcements arrive. Go ahead and see you on the battlefield tomorrow!"

"Yes!" Tuolu Hucha'er bowed deeply and exited the king's tent.

Azashili watched him leave, and still refused to look back until Tolu Huchaer's figure disappeared into the dark night.

Tamerlane heard him murmuring in Mongolian: "Blessed by the God of Immortality..."
