Chapter 305: Journey to Mongolia
When the trusted general saw this, he immediately looked very anxious and said to the generals behind him: "Don't listen to him. That man is not the King of Qin at all. It must be someone hired by Chu Chengfeng to pretend to be him. He has defected to the Northern Mongols and wants to kill us all."
This person was still trying to sow discord and wanted other generals to help him, but his words were full of loopholes and no one could believe him at all.
"Hmph... Do you think we are fools? If it is said that General Chu defected to Northern Mongolia, then is it true that General Chu wiped out nearly 100,000 Northern Mongolian cavalrymen in front of Zuoguan? It was Mu Yuntian who defected to Northern Mongolia. With 100,000 men guarding the pass, he actually sent troops out of the city to fight. He could have defended the pass, but he still set off beacons to attract the Zuoguan army."
"If it weren't for the extraordinary wisdom of General Chu, I'm afraid we would have been ambushed by the Northern Mongolian army. Do you really think we don't know that you are colluding with the Northern Mongolians to harm General Chu?"
"Brothers, take down this man's head and go to apologize to General Chu and plead guilty to His Royal Highness the King of Qin!" one of the generals shouted coldly.
Following his voice, several generals around him drew their swords instantly. Under the horrified gaze of Mu Yuntian's trusted general, several of them rushed forward and killed him on the spot.
From then on, Mu Yuntian and his trusted men were all dealt with.
A general came to meet Jiang Fan, and the 50,000 soldiers also chose to lay down their weapons. They were afraid that Jiang Fan would misunderstand them. If there was any bloody conflict, it would be troublesome!
Jiang Fan met the general who spoke first. He nodded to him and accepted him under Chu Chengfeng's command.
In the following time, Jiang Fan asked Chu Chengfeng to completely take over Youguan and kill all of Mu Yuntian's confidants in Youguan. Then he merged the Youguan army with the Zuoguan army and disrupted them. Then he reorganized them.
Youguan was completely under the control of Chu Chengfeng. Of the 250,000 troops of Northern Mongolia, about 140,000 were wiped out, nearly 60,000 escaped, and more than 40,000 were captured.
At this time, the Northern Mongolians could not pose any threat to the Hezhou Pass. After all, an army of 250,000 could not be organized casually.
Bei Meng suffered heavy losses this time and was almost paralyzed. The losses were even more severe than the battle between Dora Yue'er and Jiang Fan.
After knowing the outcome of the battle, Dora Yueer was silent for a long time, with sadness and helplessness in her eyes.
After arranging matters at Hezhou Pass, Jiang Fan asked the Chu brothers to lead 1,900 white-robed soldiers and sneak into the Northern Mongolian royal court along the hidden route provided by Dora Yue'er.
The four brothers of the Chu family, Chu Chengzhi, Chu Chengduan, Chu Chengren and Chu Chengzhong, assisted and each led 2,000 cavalrymen. A total of 4,000 cavalrymen formed a force to march forward in unison and attacked the northern Mongolian grasslands.
Jiang Fan instructed all four parties to implement a harassment strategy to attack and harass the various tribes on the grassland. The main purpose was to cover him, Duo La Yue Er and others to go straight to the royal court.
Jiang Fan originally wanted to bring two thousand white-robed soldiers with him, but if he did so, it would be too conspicuous. He was afraid that he would be killed by the grassland armies before he even reached the royal court.
Therefore, Jiang Fan had to take a hundred white-robed soldiers, Dora Yue'er and others, through the Kurdish Mountains, and then persuade several large tribes to support him along the way.
As for the remaining white robe soldiers, they will disguise themselves as a caravan and rush to the royal court from the trade route. Then the two sides will meet again. This is the strategy that Jiang Fan discussed with Dora Yue'er on the way here.
After all, the northern Mongolian grassland is too vast. If the Yan army were to conquer it deeply, it would take an unknown amount of time to conquer it.
We will suffer heavy casualties and exhaust endless manpower and material resources, and it is not certain that we will succeed.
However, going straight to the royal court, destroying Jikeli, and helping Dora Yueer ascend the throne would be the best option.
Seven days later, Jiang Fan took Dora Yue'er and others to leave Hezhou Pass and headed towards the Kurdish Mountains.
Jiang Fan was walking in the northern Mongolian grassland, looking back in the direction of Dayan. There was longing and worry in his eyes.
Ever since he left Hezhou Pass, the city of Yanjing must have been in turmoil.
He didn't know what the final outcome would be, but when he thought of his wife Chu Yan'er, he felt a lot less worried.
With Chu Yaner's intelligence, that little disturbance can be easily resolved!
On the other hand, while the people of Beijing were in panic, they received earth-shattering good news at this moment.
In mid-March, the commander of the right pass of Hezhou Pass, Mu Yuntian, colluded with the Northern Mongolian Ji Dong Keyou to destroy the 100,000-man army of the Left Pass. The commander of the Left Pass, Chu Chengfeng, took advantage of the situation and used the Left Pass army to lure the enemy deep into the territory. He used a spiked bamboo formation in front of the Left Pass, severely damaging the Northern Mongolian army, killing more than 60,000 enemies and capturing more than 20,000 enemy soldiers.
Three days later, King Qin Jiang Fan arrived at Hezhou Pass. That night, King Qin led 80,000 troops from Zuoguan Pass to attack the Northern Mongolian camp, killing 70,000 enemies and capturing 20,000. The Northern Mongolians were badly defeated, and the commander Ji Dongkeyou led the remaining troops to flee back to Northern Mongolia.
That night, the commander of the Right Pass, Mu Yuntian, was killed by the King of Qin, Jiang Fan, on the battlefield. Thus, the threat from the Northern Mongols was lifted.
As soon as the news reached the capital, the whole city was filled with jubilation and all the people were caught up in a wave of cheers.
Jiang Fan and the Chu family's prestige among the people was getting higher and higher. Then, an imperial decree was issued from the palace, and the Youguan commander Mu Yuntian and his three trusted generals had their property confiscated and their families exterminated.
In the palace of the four princes, after hearing the news, the four princes all stood there in a daze. Jiang Yi was stunned for a long time, thinking he had heard it wrong.
I would never have thought that the Chu brothers would be so powerful, nor would I have thought that Jiang Fan would solve the hidden danger of Northern Mongolia as soon as he went to Hezhou Pass.
Now that the Northern Mongols have retreated, the threat posed by the Great Western Dynasty to the Great Yan is probably irrelevant. Even if they sent out an army of 200,000, without the threat of the Northern Mongols to the Great Yan, the Great Western Dynasty would probably not dare to launch an offensive against the Great Yan. As for the other two places, it goes without saying.
Jiang Yi was so angry that he was shaking all over and smashed everything in the house. He couldn't understand why Jiang Fan was so powerful. Why was God helping Jiang Fan?
Their evil plan to destroy Jiang Fan was actually ruined by the Chu family. He even hated the Chu family.
As for the third prince and the fifth prince, they were trembling with anger, but they were powerless to do anything.
Among them, the Fifth Prince was the most angry, because he was the one who contributed to the plan to kill Jiang Fan at Hezhou Pass.
Although his betrayal broke up the alliance among the three brothers, they still had to come together again to deal with Jiang Fan.
Mu Yuntian of Hezhou Pass is the trump card of the fifth prince. Now that Mu Yuntian has fallen, he has lost the support of the army. I am afraid he will be at a disadvantage in the fight for the throne.
However, he actually felt more at ease. After all, in addition to the 100,000 troops under Mu Yuntian's command, there were also the 100,000 troops of South Vietnam, which were also his trump cards.
