Although the title of the direct descendant of the Golden Family sounds loud, it is no longer the time for the Mongolian cavalry to sweep across Europe and Asia. Although Lin Dankhan is nominally the co-lord of all Mongolian tribes, in fact he can only control the Chahar tribe that dominates the Liaohetao. The Korqin, Inner Khalkha, Tumot, and Ordos tribes in the south of the desert are all in power. The Mongolian Khan can only control the Chahar tribe in the Liaohetao. The outer Khalkha in the north of the desert do not recognize the Mongolian Khan as the co-lord, and the Moxi Weilath is still an enemy of the Mongolian Empire. In the past few years, he had to guard against the attack of the Jurchens and his life was extremely miserable.

If Li You had not appeared, Lin Danhan would have been driven to Qinghai by Huang Taiji. Later, he died of smallpox in Dacaotan, Qinghai at the age of 43. His son Ezhe surrendered to the Later Jin Dynasty the following year. The Mongol Empire, which was once awe-inspiring for countless people, disappeared into the long river of history, but Lin Danhan is still alive now.

Even more nourishing than in the original history, Lin Dankhan had one old enemy after the Jurchens were wiped out, and the Korchin tribe, which had always been close to the Jurchens, suffered a devastating blow from the Ming army and lost such a powerful faction. The other tribes in the south of the desert, such as Neikalkha, Tumot, Ordos, etc., also sent envoys. Although they did not yet submit to his command, it was improved. At least there was no need to send heavy troops to guard against them. Most of the troops could be used to deal with Wei Lat Mongolia in the west of the desert, and could barely preserve the dignity of the Khan.

But now the situation suddenly took a sharp turn. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty actually wanted to attack Mongolia in person. This was something that had not happened in more than two hundred years? Since Lan Yu entered the desert in the past, the Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains had not launched such a huge force to march north for a long time. At the beginning, Lin Danhan thought it was fake news, but when the Ming army on the nine borders came from everywhere, Lin Danhan didn't know how to deal with it.

In terms of the strength of both sides, although Lin Danhan was known as the Mongols, his power was extremely limited. On the other hand, the Ming Dynasty, since the Battle of Zunhua, this empire that seemed to have fallen into decline regained its vitality. The army went on a series of battles, defeating Jiannu step by step. Two years ago, it completely pacified Jiannu. Huang Taiji, who used to beat Lin Danhan, was also beheaded. Nurhaci's descendants, except for one Yuetuo, who did not know whereabouts, the rest were cut off by the Ming army, and the Later Jin established by Jiannu also disappeared.

In the past, the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Later Jin Dynasty and only used 150,000 troops. Now, according to the news of the spies' return, the Ming Dynasty actually took out 300,000 to attack Mongolia. How could this be stopped!

"Khan, if he had relied on the strength of the Chahar tribe this time, he would probably not be a match for the Ming army. Only by gathering all the Mongolians under the golden family's flag again can he have a slight chance of winning." The wise man in Lin Dan Khan's tent put forward his own opinion. The gap in strength between the two sides was too huge. If not, the Mongolians would probably follow in Jiannu's footsteps.

"But can the leaders of the tribes such as Khalkha, Tumot, and Ordos agree?" Lin Danhan asked hesitantly. He did not even mention the name of Wei Lat Mongolia. In his opinion, this mortal enemy would probably only smile and watch on the wall when he saw his destruction.

"Now is different from the past. If these tribes do not unite, it will be their turn after the Ming army defeats the Khan. If it weren't for this, why would the emperor of the Ming Kingdom gather up 300,000 troops?" The wise man put forward his own opinion. To be honest, it is more than enough to destroy the Chahar tribe with a 100,000 troops, and it goes without saying what the remaining troops are for.

"Then send someone to meet the leaders of these tribes." Lin Danhan had no good idea, so he had to follow his advice. So a team of envoys split up and rode on a fast horse to the Mongolian tribes. These envoys went to the leaders of the tribes and took out the allusion of Alan Huo Azhe, the wife of Temujin's ancestor Duo Benmeier, to persuade these leaders.

The envoy first broke an arrow, then took out an arrow but couldn't break it anyway, and then said, "Now my Mongolian tribes are like arrows, and the Ming Dynasty is like that hand. If we still fight each other, the Ming Dynasty will definitely defeat all our tribes without any effort, but if we unite, we will definitely defeat the Ming Dynasty, and maybe there will be hope of entering the Central Plains." Whether considering the interests of our tribes, being motivated by the envoys, or being influenced by other influences, the inner and outer tribes such as Khalkha, Tumot, Ordos expressed support for Lin Dankhan, at least nominally re-joined under the Golden Family, and sent their elite troops to join the ranks of the coalition forces of various Mongolian tribes.

Even Weilat Mongolia, far away in the west of the desert, temporarily stopped confronting Lin Dankhan and began to send troops to harass the border towns of the Ming Dynasty, trying to share some pressure for Macau. Looking at the Mongolian cavalry gathered again under the Golden Family, Lin Dankhan was filled with emotion, as if seeing the hope of restoring the glory of his ancestors in the past, Kashgar dispatched troops to prepare to welcome the arrival of the Ming army.

At this time, Li You was also ready to go to the expedition. The soldiers and horses on the nine sides had taken their place as he ordered and began to leave each side town, and marched northward according to the strategy given by the Governor's Office of the Five Army. In the capital, a hundred thousand troops, led by Li You and Lu Xiangsheng, left the city gate and headed towards Xuanda Town.

Behind them, countless civil servants transported them food, weapons and other supplies. These people would receive preferential treatment such as tax exemption, so they were barely active in their work. In addition, if someone made contributions in this battle, they would also receive rewards from the court and have the opportunity to join the army to become officers, which is very different from the civil servants who were forced to recruit in the past.

After arriving at Xuanda Town, he joined forces with Cao Wenzhao and headed towards Lin Dankhan's place. According to Li You's arrangement, he and Lu Xiangsheng and Cao Wenzhao would serve as the main force of the attack. To the east are the troops of Man Gui, Chen Jisheng and others, responsible for attacking Lin Dankhan's right wing. To the west, young generals such as Li Zicheng and Cao Bianjiao will be responsible for clearing the harassment of Wei Lat Mongolia and also responsible for attacking Lin Dankhan's left wing.
