Chapter 1252: The Worries of Tiemu City

This mysterious organization was certainly not created by Tiemu Cheng.

Liu Zheng looked at the intelligence in his hand.

Zhongxing Yue...

Is it this person?

He smiled slightly.

When he first learned of Tiemu Cheng, he had no impression of this person at all; it seems that back then, he was stationed in the rear.

He is a talent...

And a Longyan person at that.

What a pity.

Throughout history, many people who suffered persecution in Longyan naturally wanted to find a Method to escape, and then find a "great lord" they believed in to realize their ambitions. This Zhongxing Yue is likely one of them.

However, Liu Zheng was not that interested in him.

It is true that he must be a talent, but he would certainly not be a talent like Yu Qian who puts the country first.

If it were when Liu Zheng was first developing his power, he would have reluctantly used such a talent. But now, Liu Zheng's academy and Military Academy have already gotten on the right track. The Imperial Examination has also begun to mature, and it is not difficult for the vast Longyan to find some talents.

Kill.

For such a traitor to Longyan, there is no second choice.

Only kill.

When Tiemu Cheng saw this Declaration of War, he could not help but burst into laughter.

In the Declaration of War, Xie Ming demanded that the Mongol Army set off immediately and march toward Jinghua.

He even uttered the shameful words: "You rule the north, I rule the south; if we succeed, we shall take the Yellow River as the boundary and share the world together!"

As an old rival of Longyan, Tiemu Cheng understood the successive monarchs of Longyan quite well.

The successive kings of Longyan, regardless of the strength of their national power, all held the stance: "We do not submit, we do not pay tribute, we do not cede territory, and we do not pay indemnities!" Yet this brat Xie Ming actually took the initiative to publicly give away half of Longyan!

It is clear that for the sake of his own throne, this Xie Ming has lost all sense of shame.

Whatever ancestral teachings or glory of Longyan there were, to him, they have become nothing but a fart!

"How does the Military Advisor see this?"

Tiemu Cheng looked at Zhongxing Yue with excitement.

This is no small matter! Although this is just a blank check Xie Ming gave them, if they could really succeed, then their Mongol Army could dominate the north, overlook the entire Zhongyuan region, and head south at any time! His grand ambitions would naturally be within reach.

By then, even if they could not destroy Longyan, they could drive them to the south of the Huai River; in that case, he, Tiemu Cheng, would possess half of the Zhongyuan landscape!

And then, by planning slowly, why worry about the great cause not being achieved?

Zhongxing Yue, however, sneered coldly: "Great Khan, this is a trap!"

"What?"

Tiemu Cheng was stunned and frowned: "But I heard that once this Declaration of War was issued, the hearts of the people in the entire Zhongyuan were not very stable; it can be seen that this Liu Zheng is also in some danger in Longyan."

"Hahahaha, where did the Great Khan see that the hearts of the people were unstable?"

Zhongxing Yue shook his head: "They are all a bunch of fence-sitters! They can turn their spears against us at any time! Great Khan, we can no longer afford another failure..."

Hearing this, Tiemu Cheng's face sank.

That is correct.

The last defeat was truly too great a blow to him. It even made him a laughingstock on the Grassland; if he were to be defeated again, I fear his status as Khan on the Grassland would be under great threat.

The Mongols are not of one piece, either.

Within Longyan, there are several feudal lords, and it is the same within the Mongols.

The tribe where Tiemu Cheng resides is the Tatar tribe, known as the "Golden Family," and besides the Tatar tribe, the Mongols have over a dozen other tribes.

Among them, the Oirat, Uriankhai, Zhungar, and other tribes are large tribes with strength on par with the Tatar tribe.

Once, Tiemu Cheng, with his powerful strength and personal charisma, conquered all the tribes on the Grassland and unified

the Grassland, but today is not what it used to be.

In the west of the Mongols, a group of even more powerful Longyan-opposing Russians arrived; the Russian Army, relying on advanced weapons, defeated Tiemu Cheng on the Grassland many times.

The once invincible Mongol Cavalry was beaten by the Russian Army until they were in total disarray and retreating step by step.

Afterward, the Dzungar tribe already leaned toward the Russians, the Uriankhai were also having ambiguous relations with the Russians, and the Oirat tribe also had intentions of breaking away from the Great Mongol Empire to stand on their own.

These tribes have long been disaffected with Tiemu Cheng; the only reason they can still call Tiemu Cheng their common lord is entirely because he still has one hundred thousand elite cavalry under his command.

Once Tiemu Cheng fails again and lets the "Golden Knights" suffer heavy losses, then the Tatar tribe will inevitably be swallowed up by other tribes.

Therefore, regarding whether to send troops, Tiemu Cheng must be extremely cautious.

"Great Khan, look at this again!"

Zhongxing Yue chuckled.

He threw out a letter, which was surprisingly a request for help from Meng Zan of Longyan.

"Hahahaha, is he serious?"

After listening to Zhongxing Yue's analysis, Tiemu Cheng calmed down a lot.

Zhongxing Yue sneered: "This guy is a bystander who is confused! He actually failed to see that this is a setup Liu Zheng made for him! Looking at it this way, this Meng Zan intends to stake everything on one throw; the other one hundred thousand troops from Youzhou are also on the way, two hundred thousand troops... He is going to empty his nest!"

Tiemu Cheng took a deep breath: "Does the Military Advisor think he has a chance of winning?"

Zhongxing Yue shook his head: "No chance of winning at all!"

"Ah?"

Zhongxing Yue continued: "Because this is a blatant scheme by Liu Zheng! The whole world can see it! This Meng Zan is not a man without a brain... but he has no other way now, especially since this Imperial Edict of the Sash from Xie Ming has come out; even if he knows it is a pit of fire, he has to jump into it!"

"Ah, this..."

Tiemu Cheng was stunned.

Yes.

Meng Zan currently had the mentality of a gambler. But since ancient times, who among gamblers has ever been able to beat the house?

Liu Zheng in Jinghua right now is the one acting as the house.

The Feudatory Kings of the entire Longyan are all gamblers.

Meng Zan is the biggest gambler, and he has already reached the point where he must gamble. If he gambles, there is still a glimmer of hope; if he does not gamble, he is dead.

How could Meng Zan not know that this was a pit Liu Zheng had dug for him?

He was very clear about it, but he had to gamble.

He was gambling on whether he could plug this hole.

Their current relationship is like that of a hunter and a tiger; the hunter wants the tiger skin, but the tiger also wants to eat the hunter for a delicious meal.

On the surface, the tiger is the prey, but once the hunter's trap can no longer control the tiger, the hunter becomes the tiger's prey.

By the same token, as long as Meng Zan can gain an absolute advantage in Jinghua, the other Feudatory Kings who have received the imperial edict and are currently brandishing their might in military exercises will likely be unable to sit still and will have to take action.

Presumably, at this moment, Meng Zan should also see that the times his attacks went smoothly were all openings Liu Zheng sold to him, but he no longer cared; in fact, he even quite hoped that Liu Zheng would do so.

After all, he knew Liu Zheng was selling openings, but the feudal lords did not! Once Liu Zheng overplayed his hand, he would be lifting a rock only to drop it on his own feet.

Right now, the situation on the surface is that Meng Zan's win rate is higher than Liu Zheng's. If Meng Zan's opponent this time were someone else, Meng Zan's victory could already be declared, but his opponent is Liu Zheng!

Would this powerful man, who is so strong that he has changed the world's landscape, fall into a trap of his own making?

Zhongxing Yue absolutely did not believe it; he was certain that Liu Zheng must have a backup plan!

"Then, are we just going to watch him get eaten by Liu Zheng? We have to do something, right? If Youzhou falls, the next one will be us!" Pop-ups are severe recently, please click to download to avoid pop-ups.
