Bianliang City was the capital of Henan Province. It was a famous historical city that had existed as the capital during the Xia Dynasty. Later on, Wei, one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, later Liang, Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han, Later Zhou, Northern Song, and Jin Dynasty had established their capital here. It had a history of more than 3,000 years.
By the time of the Yuan Dynasty, although it was no longer the capital city, it was still one of the military and political centers in the north. Now that the Ming Dynasty was established, the territory controlled by the Yuan Dynasty had been greatly reduced. Bianliang was already the second most important city after Dadu.
Therefore, Emperor Yuan Shun specially sent the King of Liang, Aruwen, to station 80,000 elite soldiers here to prevent the Ming army from going north.
According to the strategic plan of the Henan King of Dayuan and the Left Prime Minister of the Ministry of Central Affairs, if the Ming army went north and attacked Dadu directly, the 80,000 troops of Bianliang City could block the retreat of the Ming army from behind and surround the Yuan army of Dadu, trapping the Ming army to death.
Therefore, the importance of Bianliang was self-evident. That was why Kuokuo Timur suggested that Emperor Yuan Shun let Aruwen be the supreme commander of Bianliang's garrison, and concurrently serve as the governor of Henan Province. Kuokuo Timur completely entrusted the defense of the entire Henan Province to Aruwen because Aruwen was Kuokuo Timur's grandfather. To be exact, he was his adopted grandfather because Kuokuo Timur was not his father Chahan Timur's biological son, but his adopted son.
At this special moment when the Ming army was pressing on the Yuan Dynasty, Aruwen, who was one of his own, naturally made Kuokuo Timur feel more at ease because Bianliang could not be lost.
Right, Kuokuo Timur was a Mongolian name, and he also had a Han name called Wang Baobao.
Wang Baobao was the pillar of the Yuan Court. The reason why the Yuan Court was able to occupy the north and not collapse was because of this person.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang had high praise for Wang Baobao, calling him the " Extraordinary Man in the World."
Wang Baobao had also appeared in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre. His identity was the useless brother of the female lead, Zhao Min. Fortunately, his father was also abused by Zhang Wuji and the Ming Cult.
Of course, in Heavenly Sword, in order to highlight the power of the male and female leads, Uncle Jin infinitely weakened Wang Baobao.
In Bianliang City, Aruwen, who was already in his sixties, had a strong body. Other than a little white hair, he did not look old at all. Perhaps it was because of his habit of eating beef and mutton all year round that his physical fitness was not bad.
In ancient times, men were beautiful because they were strong. What was strong? He was tall and fat.
Because ancient times were fought with cold weapons, fat people were generally strong. In addition to their thick fat, if the enemy slashed them on the battlefield, they might only break their fat and not hurt their internal organs at all. Therefore, the survival rate of fat people was also high.
Therefore, many fierce generals in history were tall and fat, and there was no market for young fresh meat.
What was that saying? Fatty was a stock with potential.
Therefore, if you were a fat person in the modern world, don't feel inferior. You were just born in the wrong era.
Aruven was sitting behind a two-meter-long desk, rolling up his sleeves and eating. There was not a single book or official document on his desk, only two bowls of meat, one beef and one lamb, neatly arranged.
Aruwin's mouth was full of oil as he spat out the broken beef bone in his mouth and shouted,""Pour the wine!"
On both sides of the desk stood two servant girls who were bowing to serve. Both of them looked young, about fourteen or fifteen years old. Their bodies were not open yet, and they were still very young, but their facial features were very beautiful.
The servant girl on the left hurriedly picked up the wine pot and was about to pour wine. However, the wool felt under her feet suddenly tripped. The wine pot was not held firmly, and the wine that was originally poured into the wine bowl directly spilled on the table.
The servant girl was shocked and quickly knelt down.
Aruven's hand that was holding the cow leg paused for a moment before suddenly putting it down. He then pulled out a treasured saber that was hanging on the wall. The saber flashed and the servant girl fell to the ground, her neck almost cut off.
"Han women are really useless. They don't even know how to pour wine!”
The servant girl on the other side only came back to her senses at this moment. She subconsciously let out a scream, but before she could finish shouting, she was stabbed in the face and fell to the ground.
Aruwin spat and cursed,""B * tch, what are you shouting for? Disturbing this king from eating meat!"
"Men!"
Two Yuan Dynasty soldiers came in from outside the door. They looked at the ground and were not surprised at all, as if they were already used to it.
"Throw the corpse away!" Aruven waved his hand.”
After the Yuan Dynasty soldiers carried the two corpses out, Aruwin continued to eat the meat happily.
After he had eaten his fill and was about to go to sleep, an anxious voice suddenly came from outside the door."Your Highness, this general has an urgent military report!”
"Come in!" Aruven frowned.”
"Your Highness, something bad has happened. The scouts have reported that they saw a large number of Ming soldiers rushing towards Bianliang City. According to them, there are only fifty miles left.”
Daruhuachi Kuter, who came in from outside, was so anxious that his face was covered in cold sweat.
Aruwin was also shocked and asked,""How many people are there in the Ming army? Who will lead the troops?"
"The spy reported that the exact number is unknown, but he couldn't see the end at a glance. Based on his experience, he estimated that there were at least 100,000 of them. We don't know who the leading general is yet.”
"Xu Flag should be Xu Da, Yellow Flag…Could it be Zhu Yuanzhang's personal expedition?”Aruven frowned and speculated, but now was not the time to think about this. The enemy had come, and the general would know sooner or later. The only thing they could do now was to fight the enemy.
"Kuter, immediately send a letter to Dadu and ask my good grandson, Kuokuo Timur, to come and help. I have 80,000 elite soldiers under me. Bianliang City has sufficient food and fodder. It will not be a problem to hold on for two months.”
"Now, inform my Dayuan brothers to face the enemy!”
Outside Bianliang City, Zhu Biao rode on his horse and looked at Bianliang City, which stood not far away. He thought to himself, As expected of the ancient capital of eight dynasties, the city walls are very high.
P.S. Those who are not of my race will have different hearts!
