Chapter 966: Mongolian Detour!
"Mongols destroyed the Song Dynasty?"
This really touched Chutian's blind spot.
Chutian knew that Kublai Khan's Mongol Empire perished in the Southern Song Dynasty and established the Yuan Dynasty, but Chutian didn't know how the Mongolian army attacked the Song Dynasty.
"The Song-Yuan War lasted for decades. When Mengge was the Great Khan of Mongolia, he ordered his younger brother Kublai Khan and Subotai's son Wuliang Hetai to lead the army from Liangzhou, passing through western Sichuan, Tubo conquered Dali and encircled Sichuan and Shu. From Nanman, they could go north to attack Chengdu, or pass through Jiaozhou and go down the river to attack the four counties in southern Jing."
Xia Liang pointed out an astonishing detour on the big map—a Mongolian detour.
Chu Tian was slightly suffocated, and few people would consider the large roundabout tactics of thousands of kilometers.
When the Mongol Empire was at its strongest, relying on the mobility of the Mongolian army, it was the best at detours and destroyed many civilizations by virtue of its mobility.
When attacking Sichuan, Shu and Jiangdong, the heroes in the north usually follow the rules, attacking Hanzhong and Xiangyang, and then destroying Shu and going downstream.
However, Meng Ge ordered Kublai Khan and Wu Liang to cross the plateau in western Sichuan, destroy Dali Kingdom, attack Annan Kingdom, restrain the Southern Song Dynasty's troops from the rear of the Southern Song Dynasty, and achieve the goal of destroying the Song Dynasty.
If Meng Ge hadn't been shot and killed by a stray arrow in Diaoyu City, maybe the Southern Song Dynasty would have perished early.
However, Meng Ge, as the Great Khan of Mongolia, wanted to surpass Temujin and go to battle in person, but died in Sichuan and Shu.
"The final result was that Mengge was killed in battle, and the big detour strategy also failed. I remember that Kublai Khan succeeded Mengge to destroy the Song Dynasty and chose Xiangyang as a breakthrough point. It is still the traditional southward route."
After being reminded by Xia Liang, Chu Tian probably recalled the rough process of Mongolia's extermination of Song Dynasty.
The Mongol Empire went south three times in an attempt to destroy the Song State.
For the first time, the Mongolian Great Khan Okuotai, the third son of Temujin, ordered hundreds of thousands of Mongolian troops to start from the Huaihe River in the east and reach Bashu in the west to launch a full-scale attack on the Southern Song Dynasty. The Mongolian and Song Dynasties fought fiercely for six years, with dozens of battles. Meng Gong, the master of mobile defense in the Southern Song Dynasty, defended to the death. Both sides suffered heavy casualties, and Wo Kuotai died of illness.
For the second time, Meng Ge, the great Khan of Mongolia, the grandson of Temujin, implemented a Mongolian-style roundabout and destroyed Dali. The three-way army attacked the Song Dynasty in an all-round way. The invasion of Jingnan was almost successful, but Meng Ge died in battle, and the main force of the Mongolian army returned north to compete for the Khan position.
the third time,
Kublai Khan, the Mongolian Khan, brother of Meng Ge, besieged Xiangyang for several years, used Xiangyang artillery and navy to break through Fancheng, forced Xiangyang to surrender, and finally destroyed Song Dynasty.
The previous two times when the Mongolian army destroyed the Song Dynasty, all of them ended in a hurry with the death of the profuse sweat. The luck of the Southern Song Dynasty has always been good. Jin Guo attacked Song Dynasty, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Wu Jie and other ZTE famous generals tried their best to turn the tide. The Mongolian attack on the Song Dynasty also gave birth to Meng Gong and others, and two Mongolian Khans, one died of illness and the other died in battle, which delayed the time of demise. It's a pity that the rulers of the Southern Song Dynasty were incompetent and finally failed to take advantage of the opportunity to counterattack.
After attacking the Song Dynasty three times, the Mongols have tried almost all methods except sea routes.
For Chutian, the Meng-Song War still has reference value.
The situation faced by the Mongol Empire and the Xia Kingdom of Chutian is too similar.
The Mongol army was so powerful at that time, and each attack on the Song Dynasty would last for several years, causing many casualties. It was almost exactly the same as Chutian's current situation, and even the territory of the Mongol Empire and Chutian were very similar. Chutian is the real Mongolian Empire that dominates the world. They all want to annex the south as soon as possible, but they are blocked by the Qinling Mountains and the Yangtze River. The princes defending the south are not weak.
Chutian drew a roundabout route on the map.
The Mongolian roundabout is even more thrilling than Deng Ai's route of smuggling to Yinping and surprise attacking Chengdu.
Of course Chutian can send troops to reproduce Meng Ge's big roundabout.
However, starting from Liangzhou and passing through the Western Sichuan Plateau, the difficulty of such a surprise attack is simply unimaginable.
The Dali Kingdom during the Mongol Empire was actually the Nanman region during the Three Kingdoms period.
"Attacking Chengdu or Changsha from the Nanman, the journey is long and the supply is not easy..."
Despite this, Chutian still carefully considered the matter of attacking Nanman from the western Sichuan plateau.
Xia Liang said: "As long as there is a teleportation array, it may not be a problem to transport weapons and food from the north to the southern barbarians. It's just a bit expensive."
"money is not a problem."
Chu Tian's eyes lit up.
In "Lord", because of the existence of the teleportation array, it is indeed possible to implement many seemingly impossible strategies.
The United States even directly intervened in the Korean battlefield through the teleportation array, but because of the high cost of the teleportation array, the United States only sent 30,000 Fire Dragon Legion to support the Korean King Li Chenggui.
"Call Huo An and Mu Ke to see me."
Chu Tian had an idea in his heart.
The Protectorate of the Western Regions, Luntai City, Huo An took his son to farm outside the city, and he could see the majestic Tianshan Mountain.
That's right, the biggest problem for the Protectorate of the Western Regions is food and water, so farming is very important in the Protectorate of the Western Regions.
Huo An has done his best to support the 400,000 troops in the Western Regions.
He led the officials of the Protectorate of the Western Regions to reclaim farmland at the southern foot of Tianshan Mountain, bringing the farming tradition of the Central Plains to Tianshan Mountain.
A lot of food and grass in the Protectorate of the Western Regions actually came from the military fields.
Mu Ke took her little daughter with her.
After the Protectorate of the Western Regions annexed the Dawan Kingdom, it did not intervene in the disputes in Central Asia. It focused on defense and was calm, so Huo An lived a relatively stable life.
"Damn, this kind of field is much harder than fighting."
Huo An cursed and swung his hoe, leading by example.
At least 100,000 soldiers and horses are stationed near Luntai City.
Huo An's son was only eight or nine years old, sitting on the edge of the field, with a small group of imperial hussars responsible for protecting the eldest son of the Protectorate of the Western Regions.
Shi Wang Xuance, Chief of the Protectorate of the Western Regions, found Huo An: "The King of Xia asked my lord to go to Xia City to discuss the matter of attacking the Shu Han."
"It's hard for me to help you attack the Shu Han."
Huo An thought for a while, and it seemed that there was nothing about him.
However, since Chutian was looking for him, he still wanted to go.
Huo An said to Mu Ke: "Take two children and visit the Xia Palace, and let them meet their aunt by the way. Chu Zimou may use the chess pieces we left in Nanman."
Mu Ke, who used to guard Nanman, probably guessed Chu Tian's purpose of summoning them to the Xia Palace: "But Liu Bei left an army of 100,000 in Nanman area, controlling two or three teleportation arrays in Nanman area. Liu Bei's general guarding Nanman is Among the twenty-eight generals in Yuntai, Wu Han is the most famous. As for the Nanman tribe, although they are quite brave, their tribal leaders are not very intelligent, so it is difficult for them to accomplish anything."
"That's why we need the generals of the Protectorate of the Western Regions. Chen Tang, I leave the matter of farming to you."
Huo An left Chen Tang, General of the Protectorate of the Western Regions, in charge of farming, and then went to Xiacheng.
Xiacheng, the main city of Chutian, has been under martial law, with 100,000 troops stationed, and is preparing to send troops to recover the eastern counties occupied by the Soochow Navy.
When Huo An and Mu Ke came to Xiacheng, they found that the city was heavily guarded. They couldn't help being surprised: "Xiacheng has always been prosperous, why is it heavily guarded today?"
"My lord, the Jiangdong navy set out from Jianye to attack the coastal areas. Our King Xia has assembled our troops and is ready to fight back."
"The Jiangdong army is attacking across the sea? Have an idea."
Huo An thought of Tongque crossing the sea to attack Chutian, and Chutian wanted to implement a Mongolian-style roundabout. The offensives of the north and the south were open and closed. I am afraid that only the civil war of the Han Empire could be so unconstrained.
