I really became a king.

Chapter 442

Prince Guo Jiang Huan silently looked at Jiang Yi standing on his horse holding the reins. He had an indescribable feeling in his heart, a vague sense of worry, but at the same time a sense of pride.

After so many years, a remarkable figure finally appeared in the Dali royal family, but if he wants to really take the throne, he will probably have to go through a bloody battle.

This is also what he is worried about. This internal strife that may come at any time may turn the Dali royal family into the current Xifan royal family, and they will never be able to recover.

But that is a matter for the future. For now, it seems that this young member of the Dali royal family has already initially established a foothold in the Western Frontier.

In addition to owning the three passes, the sphere of influence under his command has expanded to the prairie and west to the Lena River. Although it is only a range of thousands of kilometers, it is extremely vast from north to south.

Along the Lena River to the north to the Quanshi Dynasty thousands of kilometers away, and to the south it also stretches for thousands of kilometers to border the Baiyue Dynasty. This grassland is extremely vast, and its territory has already caught up with the area of ​​several prefectures in Dali.

More importantly, this is the birthplace of powerful cavalry. Except for the old and the young, everyone becomes a qualified cavalryman after mounting a horse, providing sufficient manpower for the future Prince Yi's Palace.

Of course, the prerequisite is that Prince Yi's Mansion can defend this vast grassland, otherwise everything is empty talk.

"Can you bear it?" Jiang Huan asked himself, then looked around.

After just a few years of development, especially after taking control of Western Xinjiang, the power of Prince Yi's Mansion has skyrocketed.

Needless to say, the original Eight Tribes of the Sun and the Moon, the newly formed Eight Banners of Khorhan and Eight Banners of Heishui alone are a powerful emerging force.

However, thinking of the upcoming battle of Hanshan City, this amount of troops alone might be insufficient, and the Eight Banners of Korhan and the Eight Banners of Heishui could not be said to be truly loyal. The responsibility of guarding the vast grassland of Langju Mountain might have to fall on the Eight Tribes and the Five Elements Flags.

However, without the participation of the Eight Divisions and the Five Elements Flags, the battle of Hanshan City would be more complicated...

Just as Prince Guo Jiang Huan was troubled by his thoughts, Jiang Yi withdrew his gaze from the prairie and began to arrange military affairs on the east bank of the Lena River.

"Boermu, Nalanzhu!"

"I am here!" Hearing Jiang Yi's words, Bolmu and Nalanzhu dismounted from their horses and knelt on one knee in front of Jiang Yi.

"I order you two to lead 50,000 troops each to follow me north to Hanshan City!"

"I will obey your orders!"

Although they had doubts in their hearts, Bolmu and Nalanzhu did not ask, but knelt on one knee on the ground and accepted the order.

After Jiang Yi pondered for a moment, he waved his whip and pointed at the prairie at the foot of Langju Mountain, and continued: "The remaining 50,000 troops of your two flags will be temporarily led by the deputy flag master and stationed in the area north of Langju Mountain on the east bank of the Lena River!"

Bormu and Nalanzhu did not dare to have any objection and obeyed the order respectfully.

"Yuan Lang, Charland!" Jiang Yi called again.

Yuan Lang, the leader of the Plain White Banner, and Chalande, the leader of the Inlaid Red Banner, who had rushed over from Niangzi Pass to join them, also dismounted from their horses, stepped forward and knelt on one knee in front of Jiang Yi.

"You two will each lead 50,000 troops from your own division to garrison the area south of Wolf Mountain!"

"I obey your orders!" Jiang Yi lowered his head and silently glanced at the four people in front of him, and whispered: "I don't care what deep hatred you have with the Xifan Dynasty before. Without my order, I will never allow a single soldier to set foot across the Lena River!"

"You have only one mission, which is to garrison the east bank of the Lena River and contain the troops of the Quanshi and Baiyue Dynasties. Do not allow them to go south or north, and do not allow them to cross the Lena River!"

"Yes!"

Even though they were extremely reluctant, the four of them had no choice but to obey Jiang Yi's order. They had originally planned to use this opportunity to kill people indiscriminately.

It's just that the hatred between Khorhan and the Xifan Dynasty was too deep. Although Jiang Yi suppressed it, the straightforward Bolmu couldn't help but said in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, what should we do if there are any unusual movements by the Xifan army on the west bank of the Lena River?"

Jiang Yi glanced at the stubborn Bolmu, and did not answer his question. Instead, he said, "I have said that the mission of the four flags is only one, which is to garrison the east bank of the Lena River. As for the west bank of the Lena River..."

At this point, Jiang Yi looked back at the Western Demon Realm Pass behind him and said slowly: "After I go north to Hanshan City, Jiang Zhongshan, the leader of the Mountain Tribe, will hold my command arrow and sit in the Western Demon Realm Pass to control all military affairs on the east bank of the Lena River!"

Upon hearing this, Bolmu, the leader of the Zhenglan Banner, lowered his head and said no more. He could only temporarily suppress his hatred for the Xifan Dynasty in his heart.

Although he was straightforward, he was not stupid. He knew that this was only temporary and that his prince's troops could not stay on the east bank of the Lena River forever. When the time was right, they would definitely cross the Lena River and head straight for the Blackwater Lake.

Afterwards, Jiang Yi made some arrangements for the entire Khorhan Eight Banners. To put it simply, he made relevant transfers to the entire Khorhan Eight Banners.

Among them, the three flags of Yellow Border, Blue Border, and White Border, which once served as the vanguards to the north, left two-thirds of their troops to continue participating in the Battle of Hanshan City, and the remaining one-third moved to Niangzi Pass.

However, the three flag leaders Gulun, Eye and Kulon continued to stay outside Hanshan City and participate in the general battle.

The Zhenghong Banner and Xianghong Banner, which had originally marched south to Niangzi Pass, led by their flag masters Yuanlang and Nalanzhu, and the remaining 50,000 troops headed north to Hanshan City to participate in this major battle.

Among the eight banners of Khorhan, only the 100,000-strong army of the Plain Yellow Banner has remained as a whole from beginning to end, and will be directly commanded by Jiang Yi in this battle of Hanshan City.

This is also the only comfort for the seven banner leaders of Korhan, including Gulun. After all, the banner leader of the Plain Yellow Banner is Su Moer, the most honorable banner among the Eight Banners, with extraordinary symbolic significance.

Now Su Moer lives in seclusion in the villa of Prince Yi's mansion, and all flag affairs and military and political power are in the charge of Jiang Yi, which gives them a glimmer of hope.

The seven banner owners including Gulun were divided into three factions because of their backgrounds. One faction was the new nobles of the original Eight Banners represented by the Gulun, Eye and Kulon banners.

They witnessed the birth of the Eight Banners of Khorhan from scratch. Of course, it was not called the Eight Banners at first. The name was given by Jiang Yi later.

The other faction is represented by the Blue Banner and White Banner of Bormu and Nalanzhu, who represent the lower-class forces of Khor Khan. In one sentence, it can be summed up as "serfs are singing songs of liberation". These two banners are also the ones with the shallowest foundation among the Eight Banners of Khor Khan.

The last faction is the Zhenghong Banner and the Xianghong Banner. The banner owners Yuanlang and Charland are old leaders of Khorkhan and are old nobles of Khorkhan.

But they are also the most unpopular among the Khorkhan people. After all, these old leaders have basically been domineering and are very unpopular among the Khorkhan people.

No matter what conflicts there are between the three factions, or what their backgrounds are, they all have a common wish, which is to enter the core of Prince Yi's Palace. This is also Korhan's only way out.

Su Moer, the only true golden bloodline of Korhan, is the only hope, so Su Moer must enter the backyard of Prince Yi's Mansion.
