Chapter 1361: Tuo Lei became emperor
Chapter 1361 Tou Lei became emperor
Chapter 1359: Tuo Lei proclaims himself emperor
After the Battle of Longcheng, Huo Qubing led his lone army to continue out of the fortress. However, they were blocked by dozens of Yuanmeng tribes and pursued by the Yuanting army of Longcheng. His army suffered heavy casualties.
The first person to pursue Huo Qubing was Murong Ke. Murong Ke noticed the Qin army's conspiracy halfway, so he decisively led his army back to attack Zhenbeiguan.
Murong Ke cast a shadow over the entire army out of the fortress. If Murong Ke had not given up the pursuit midway, Huo Qubing's army would have been completely wiped out.
After Murong Ke left, Tuo Lei, who was in charge of Longcheng, personally led the army to encircle and suppress Huo Qubing, vowing to kill this lonely Han army in one fell swoop. The army also experienced the most difficult battle after leaving the fortress.
The encirclement set up by Tu Lei's hundreds of thousands of troops on this vast grassland left Huo Qubing with nowhere to hide, forcing him to lead his army in a fight to the death.
At the same time, a white pigeon flew from Hetao and brought news of the great victory in Hetao to the army marching out of the border. For a time, the morale of the army marching out of the border skyrocketed.
In the end, Huo Qubing marched out with an army of more than 10,000 soldiers with high morale, and faced Tuo Lei's army of more than 100,000 soldiers in Mobei.
Under Huo Qubing's textbook cavalry tactical command, the two sides fought fiercely for more than ten games. Not only did the Han army not fall into a disadvantage, but they also inflicted heavy losses on Yuan and Meng, killing nearly 20,000 enemies, and forcibly broke Yuan and Meng's encirclement again.
After this battle, more than half of the troops leaving the border suffered casualties again. The entire army had only nearly 5,000 troops left, and most of its supplies had been consumed. It was no longer able to deal a powerful blow to Yuan and Meng.
In addition, the Battle of Hetao has been won, and even if the outgoing army continues to stay, it will not be of much use. Instead, it will put itself in danger, so Huo Qubing made a decisive decision to lead the army to withdraw northward.
On the other side, after Tuoleidang learned about the fighting situation in the Loop and the news of Temujin's death in the battle, he suddenly felt that the sky was about to collapse.
In the Battle of Hetao, Yuan and Meng sent 80% of their domestic troops. This was a battle that blocked the fate of the country, but the result was that the entire army was annihilated, and even the founding emperor died in the battle.
This disastrous defeat caused Yuan Meng to lose everything. With Yuan Meng's remaining strength, how could he resist the covetousness of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties in the east? Already the anger of the big man in the south?
After thinking of this, there was only one thought left in Tuolai's mind, and that was that Yuanmeng, a great country that had just been established, was probably going to end.
Confusion, helplessness, anger, sadness, all kinds of emotions came to him, so heavy that Tuo Lei could hardly breathe.
Toulei locked himself up and did not eat or drink for two days and two nights. When he came out, his eyes were full of determination.
Although his brother Temujin died in the war, Yuanmeng will not die. He will inherit Temujin's will and let this great country continue to stand.
After the tragic defeat at Hetao, Temujin died in battle, and Tuo Lei no longer had the intention to preside over the encirclement and suppression of the Han army from Seoul. For the Yuan-Meng Empire, which was currently in turmoil, he was urgently needed as the king to step forward and take charge of the overall situation. A mere five thousand Han troops from Seoul was nothing more than It's just a case of phlegm.
Although Tuo Lai did not continue to preside over the encirclement and suppression of the Han army, he handed over this important task to his son Kublai Khan, and gave Kublai an order to capture alive Huo Qubing's senior generals who had left the Han army. Tuo Lei wanted to use these people to Peace talks with the Han army.
As expected by Tuo Lei, not long after he returned to Longcheng, he received news that the Manchu and Qing Dynasties had mobilized heavy troops in the border areas with the intention of invading Yuan and Meng.
So while Tuo Lei was stabilizing Longcheng, he ordered Murong Ke to lead the army to defend the frontier, and at the same time mobilized troops from Kublai Khan, with an attitude of defending the country to the death, hoping to scare the Manchus away, but the Manchus How can one be scared off so easily?
The person Nurhaci in the entire Yuanmeng is most afraid of is Temujin. Now that Temujin is dead and most of his troops are lost in the Hetao, who else in the entire Yuanmeng can stop the Manchus from unifying the grasslands?
This time Nurhachi was extremely determined to annex the unified grassland of Yuan and Mongolia. Not only did he order to stop the invasion of Sanhan and Youzhou, he mobilized a full 200,000 elite cavalry in just one round, and even prepared to lead the army in person. He vowed not to give up until he annexed Yuanmeng.
This aggressive dispatch of troops by the Manchu and Qing Dynasties seemed to be on the verge of national destruction for the extremely weak Yuanmeng. Whether the entire country could continue to survive depended on whether Murong Ke could stop Nurhaci.
Tuo Lei pinned all his hopes on Murong Ke.
If Murong Ke wins, Yuan Meng will survive;
If defeated, Yuan Meng will perish. At this time, all the cavalry of the Han army gathered at Beiguan, and 60,000 elite cavalry were ready to go, as if they were going to go out again to take advantage of the situation.
Tuo Lei was shocked when he learned about it. He knew that at this critical moment, Yuan Meng was no longer able to resist the other side's forces. If the Han army wanted to help the Manchus at this time, Yuan Meng would not be able to resist at all, so he hurriedly paid attention. The envoy went to Jinyang to have peace talks with Qin Hao.
After the envoy went to Jinyang, what he brought back was a humiliating and traitorous treaty, the first of which was: to cancel the siege and let Huo Qubing's army return.
Article 2: Compensation for 500,000 war horses, 300,000 cattle, and 1 million lambs...
Article 3: The new Emperor of Yuan and Meng must admit the mistakes made in the Battle of Hetao and personally apologize to the Han soldiers who died in the battle...
Article 4: In the next fifty years, Yuanmeng will not be allowed to graze outside Zhenbeiguan and Yanmenguan, and within two hundred miles...
Article 5: Free all Han slaves in Yuan and Mongolia...
Article 6: Send the prince to the Han as a hostage...
Article 7: In the future, Yuan and Meng’s troops must not exceed 200,000…
…
In short, this is an extremely humiliating treaty for a defeated country, with a total of twenty-eight articles, covering many harsh conditions such as compensation, protons, etc.
With so many excessive conditions, if Tuo Lei agrees, he will be nailed to the rack of shame, but if he doesn't agree, Yuanmeng will definitely destroy his country.
It's just negotiation, that's it, asking for a high price and then paying back the money.
Since the big man showed his willingness to negotiate, Tuo Lei naturally couldn't give up this opportunity. He sent an envoy to negotiate with the big Han. At the same time, he ordered Kublai Khan to open the encirclement and let Huo Qubing's troops return to the big Han to show his peace with the big Han. Sincerity in peace talks.
Temujin's fall and the death of most of his troops in the Hetao battle put the whole country of Yuan and Meng in panic. Tuo Lei stepped forward in time to take charge of the overall situation, which also gave Yuan and Meng a glimmer of hope.
Although Temujin had a wife, he had no children, so after his death, the only candidates to become the new Yuan emperor were Tolei and Ogodei.
However, Wo Kuotai's performance in the Battle of Hetao was too poor. In the end, he only fled back to Yuanmeng with 3,000 defeated troops. His performance was far less impressive than Tu Lei's performance when he was ordered to take charge of the overall situation in danger, so Wo Kuotai could not compete with Tu Lei at all.
In the end, Tu Lai was recognized by most of the senior officials of the Yuan-Meng Dynasty, and he officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor during the negotiations between the Han and Yuan Dynasties, becoming the second emperor of the Yuan-Meng Dynasty after Temujin.
