Chapter 1247: A little more

"The Kipchak Guard and the right, center, and rear guards of the Han army were ambushed on the way to reinforce Fuli, and the breakthrough was blocked, and they were besieged by the 100,000 troops of the Southern Dynasty. Fu Lishou commanded the avant-garde of the Han army to make Yuwa lose sight of death and not save him, and the cowardly enemy fled north without a fight, so that the Tutu Habu was lost in advance and retreat, and had to risk breaking through to Yingtianfu. Retreat to Yongcheng and then be intercepted by the Southern Army Brigade, Tutuha led the army to defeat the enemy, died in the chaos, the right guard of the Han army commanded the death of the bed Wu'er, the middle guard commanded the Kangli people to be seriously wounded and captured, and the rear guard commanded the death of Batu'er is unknown......"

"Don't be too long-winded, let's just say how many soldiers are still available to fight, how about returning to the German Mansion?" Zhenjin interrupted listening to Yue Chi Cha'er's prayer with a grim face, waved his hand and asked.

"Yes, Great Khan!" Yue Chi Cha'er nodded again and again.

After two days of fierce fighting, the army retreated to Yingtianfu, the southern army pursued closely, and there were only thousands of Zhenfu troops in the city to defend, and the southern army was caught up and seized the city gate, so they could only pass through the city, and the city was lost. can only continue to retreat north to Kaifeng, collect the remnants of the army of 8,000 troops, temporarily under the command of Zheng Wen, the deputy commander of the Han army and the Wei Zhongjun, and urgently requisition the surrounding prefectures and counties to help the army, ready to hold on, please send troops to rescue the Great Khan quickly...... Sweat! ”

"There are only 8,000 people left, and the Guide Mansion is also lost!" Zhenjin muttered a sentence in the newspaper, rolled his eyes, leaned back, and fell on the royal couch.

"......" Yue Chi Cha'er knew that the Great Khan had been in poor health for a while, and his eyes had been peeking at him, and when he saw him fall over, he exclaimed, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and beckoned the attendant to hurry up and call the imperial doctor for treatment.

After a while, Zhenjin woke up slowly, his eyes turned, looked around and found that he had arrived in the palace, the queen sat on the edge of the collapse and lowered her head and wept, and saw her wake up and wiped her tears in surprise, showing a smile. He twisted his head slightly, and saw the third son Timur standing by the bedside to serve, and his face showed a look of relief again, and then he asked, "How long have I been asleep!" ”

"The Great Khan has been sleeping for more than half a day, and now it's unitary time!" The queen Kuokuo really turned her face to look at the sky outside the palace and replied.

"Help me up, summon the right minister, the left minister, and Pingzhang into the palace to discuss matters!" Zhenjin struggled to get up, but just stood up and fell down.

"Khan, your body is important, let's rest for a few more days and then discuss!" Kuo Kuozhen wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead with a silk handkerchief.

"The enemy army is about to fight under the city, how can I rest assured and pass on my life!" Real Jin patted Kuo Kuo's hand and said softly.

"Father Khan is recuperating in peace, I am willing to lead the troops to Kaifeng, drive the enemy out of Lianghuai, and repeat the south of the Yangtze River!" Timur stepped forward and saluted.

"Wang Er has a heart, but this time the southern army is strong, and you are still young!" Real Gold looked at Timur and waved his hand and chuckled.

"Father Khan, I ......" Timur understood that his father's words were tactful, but the meaning was nothing more than that he was not the opponent of the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty, and his age was a few years younger than himself, which made him a little unconvinced, and wanted to argue, but was stopped by the queen mother waving her hand.

"Several important ministers have learned that the Great Khan has suddenly fallen ill, and they have entered the palace to guard outside the palace for a day, so summon them to the palace to meet them!" Kuo Kuo really persuaded.

"Help me up and change my clothes, and let them meet in the temple!" Zhenjin shook his head and said, rejecting the queen's kindness.

"Alas, well!" Kuo Kuozhen sighed lightly, and secretly glanced at Timur, asking him to help Da Khan get up, and he himself served Da Khan to wash and change his clothes. She was smart and knew that at a time of national crisis and internal and external difficulties, the Great Khan did not want people to think that he had been defeated, let alone let people know that he could not personally govern......

"See the Great Khan!" The ministers who had been waiting in the hall for a long time saw that Zhenjin had entered the hall and sat down with the support of Timur, and immediately stepped forward to salute and say.

"Sit down!" The real gold pressed the hand and asked everyone to sit down.

"The Great Khan is unharmed, it's really my luck!" Right Prime Minister Boyan greeted first. He received an order to return to Dadu immediately, but soon after entering Beijing, he learned the news of the defeat of the battle at the front, and today he received the battle report that the Kipchak guard and the Han army were defeated and returned to the Defu was lost.

Boyan knows very well that in this eventful autumn, when people are panicking, if there is an accident in the Great Khan, and the prince is not established, it will definitely set off another bloody storm. At that time, the internal and external difficulties will be difficult, and the Great Yuan Dynasty may really go to extinction, but fortunately, the Great Khan has eased. But his mood was only slightly better, he could already see that the sweat came out with empty steps and flushed face, and at the moment he was just holding on, and the crisis was not resolved.

"I only got sick occasionally, and I was fine after taking the medicine, but I frightened you!" Zhenjin pretended to be relaxed.

"It's all our incompetence, which makes the Great Khan too tired and the ministers panic!" Pingzhang Li Qian said again.

"It's all the fault of Yuxi Timur, who insisted on crossing the river to invade Jiangdong without permission, if he followed the will of the Great Khan and negotiated peace with the Southern Dynasty, how could it lead to the loss of the elite of the two Huai, so that the enemy could invade the Central Plains, and how could the Great Khan be overworked!" Sang Ge said angrily.

"Yes, if it follows the policy of the right minister, builds cities in important places along the river, builds a strict defense line, and then reconciles with the Southern Dynasties, opens a field, and has no problems, how can there be today's disaster!" Timur looked at Boyan before gritting his teeth and said.

"Yuxi Timur's arrogant army defeated Jiangdong, but it is not fair to blame him!" Pingzhang Li Qian frowned and said. In fact, everyone knows that without the instructions of the Great Khan, Yuxi Timur had the courage to dare not, and it was impossible to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops in the two Duwanhu Prefectures, but someone had to be responsible, and he was just taking the blame for the Great Khan. And Timur said this only to curry favor with Boyan, and the reason is self-evident.

"Alas, now that the Southern Army has captured Guidefu, the sword is pointing at Kaifeng, so don't argue about the past." Boyan sighed lightly. He also understands the minds of the people.

After being reprimanded by Kublai Khan for the matter of Zen position, Zhenjin fell seriously ill in fright, and his body has been weak ever since. And since last year's consecutive defeats, they have become more and more weak, which has also provoked some people to be ready to prepare for the battle for the Khan position. Zhenjin had a total of three sons, the eldest son Ganmala and the third son Timur were both born to the queen Kuokuozhen, and the second son Arama Ba Ra was born to the concubine Hongji Ra Bolan and timid.

As the eldest grandson, Gan Mala is naturally the best heir to the throne, and is also recognized by the Han ministers, he was raised by Kublai Khan's queen Chabi since he was a child, Kublai Khan seems to be inclined to cultivate this grandson as a successor, and when he grows up, he will be crowned the king of Jin, and the town of Mobei "ancestral roots", guarding Taizu's ears, and serving as the commander of Mobei for a long time.

But the queen Kuokuozhen did not have much affection for her eldest son, Ganmala, and she preferred her youngest son, Timur. After Zhenjin succeeded to the throne, he instigated the Great Khan to recall Ganmala and change the title to King Liang, and let Timur go to the northwest to raise the army, and let Boyan assist. Obviously, he wanted to make friends with the kings of the northwest and prepare for the battle for the throne. Zhenjin fainted under anger, and she only summoned Timur into the palace to serve, and her thoughts were even more obvious.

At present, Li Qian seems to be defending Yuxi Timur, but in fact, he intends to accuse Timur of being unfair, and of course he is also making his position clear, he does not support Timur as the prince; And Sango is obviously on the side of the queen, he represents the faction of the old king, and supports Timur's ascension. Boyan also understood Timur's thoughts, but he also knew that if this matter was not handled properly, it would be another court dispute, so he didn't want to express his stance and diverted the topic.

"What the right minister said is that now that Xuzhou and Guide are lost, the southern army can cross the Yellow River at any time and enter Gyeonggi, what are your good strategies to resist the enemy?" Zhenjin obviously didn't want to continue the topic, and glanced at Timur and said solemnly.

"Great Khan, at present, the guards and pro-army have suffered heavy losses, and the imperial court has no troops to adjust, so it can only quickly adjust the kings of the steppe tribes and the king of Qin, and consolidate Gyeonggi!" Li Qian suggested.

"Pingzhang said lightly, now that the treasury is empty, there is no grain in the warehouse, how to solve the problem of transferring grain and grass to Beijing?" Sang Ge spread his hands and said.

"This ......" Li Qian was choked by Brother Sang's words, he also knew that in order to reinforce Huaibei, the guards had already taken away most of the grain stored in Beijing when they left Beijing, and now the accumulated grain was only enough to eat in Beijing for half a year. In order to pay for the military expenses, the imperial court could only print more paper money, which led to soaring prices, wheat has risen to ten banknotes per bucket, and the price of salt is ten ingots and one stone, and the people can't even afford salt.

"That can't be tied!" Yuechi Cha'er interjected, "We can buy grain from the people, sign men over the age of 16 to be incorporated into the army, and use the tax on salt and iron as military expenses to fortify along the Yellow River to prevent the enemy from entering Hebei." ”

"I thought that it was difficult to stop the army of the Southern Dynasties at the moment, so it was better to send envoys to negotiate peace, demarcate the border with the Southern Dynasties and rule, and then conquer Jiangnan when the Japanese soldiers were strong and strong." Sango said.

"Well, I think it's a good idea to negotiate peace, and we can agree to the conditions they proposed earlier to open a field along the border with the Huai River as the boundary!" Zhenjin nodded.

"Great Khan, now the Southern Army has crossed the Huai River with troops, seized Xuzhou, Fuli and Guide and other important towns, and demarcated the Huai River with the Huai River, but I am afraid that the Southern Dynasty will not agree." Yuechi Cha'er said with a wry smile.

"Hmm...... We can also promise them that they can be commensurate with a brotherly country, and they will not let it go if it is so cheap! Timur interjected suddenly.

"Alas!" Everyone sighed in unison when they heard this, and wondered if this kid didn't have enough brains. Thinking that the soldiers of this dynasty were in Lin'an, the Southern Dynasty proposed to be commensurate with father and son, and serve the Great Khan as his father, but the Great Khan categorically refused and insisted on destroying the country. And now that the situation has been reversed, you still seem to be a brother to the Southern Dynasty, how can the Southern Dynasty agree.

"Then we can add a little more, follow the example of Song Liao, and give him cattle, sheep, and horses!" When Timur saw everyone's expressions, he knew how bad his idea was, and hurriedly stepped up......
