"Is the Great Khan still talking to Lord Utu Saheli? Even you can't convince him? Xiao Erti frowned slightly, and asked helplessly. β˜… Thinking Chinese Network β˜… [] Free text update!

"Yes, Wuzhen." Hulan and Gu'er Besi stood in front of each other with their hands down, although they were both Temujin's favorite concubines, their attitude was still very respectful in front of them. "The Great Khan only told us to put down our meals, and then ordered us to stand down, and said that if there was nothing to do, we should not disturb him and the Lord Utusaheri."

Xiao Ertie smiled bitterly, nodded and said, "Okay, I have nothing to do here, you can go back to the tent and rest." After the two of them came out of the account, Polthee was stunned for a while, and said to himself: "Who is this Lord Wutu Saheli, who can make the Great Khan talk to him so fascinating?" ”

"Wutu Saheli" means "bearded" in Mongolian, and it was originally a nickname given by Temujin to Yelu Chucai, but it soon became a unique honorific title for Yelu Chucai by the Mongols.

With the idea of being born to assist Temujin, Yelu Chucai also tried to integrate himself into the Mongols, trying his best to understand the thoughts, concepts, personalities and habits of the Mongols. For the Mongol soldiers, whether they were commanders or ordinary soldiers, they talked to them on an equal footing and understood what they needed.

Yelu Chucai is not only rich in knowledge, but also proficient in medicine, this time the things he carried with him in addition to books, most of them are all kinds of medicines from the Central Plains, along the way back to the army, for the wounded and sick Mongolian soldiers to see a doctor, treat many people, many in the eyes of the Mongols is a very difficult disease, but Yelu Chucai to get rid of the disease.

The doctors who can cure diseases are all popular in the local area, and Yelu Chucai is also rich in eloquence, telling the myths and stories of the Central Plains to the Mongolian soldiers. So much so that after camping every day, many soldiers and generals would surround him, some to ask him to see a doctor, and some to hear him tell stories.

It can't help but be so, Yelu Chucai also taught the Mongols his own mastery of divination.

The so-called divination is that the shoulder blades of cattle and sheep are put into the fire for a certain period of time, and then taken out, and the cracks and textures on the bones are observed by the fire, so as to judge the good fortune and bad luck. Most of the Mongols believe in immortality, so this method of divination is quite popular among the steppe tribes, and every time a major event is to be performed, the sorcerers of each tribe must perform divination, and then according to the results of the divination, guide their precession. It is similar to the tortoiseshell divination of the Central Plains.

The divination results that are not for Yelu Chucai are very effective every time. Of course, this is not to say that Yelu Chucai is really a fairy, but with rich knowledge, extraordinary intelligence and keen observation of people's hearts, of course, there are some Central Plains fortune tellers who are accustomed to small means, for things that are not enough, Yelu Chucai also deliberately said ambiguously, and waited until the results came out, and then tried to explain it as a prophecy.

However, despite this, the Mongol soldiers admired Yelu Chucai with their scriptures, and in their opinion, Yelu Chucai was almost an omniscient wise man, and Yelu Chucai was usually approachable, so they could come to this Lord Wutu Saheli for advice if they encountered any problem. And Yelu Chucai quickly dissolved into the Mongolian army and became an indispensable figure in the Mongolian army. Temujin saw all this, and strengthened his determination to reuse Yelu Chucai.

And after returning to the camp, Temujin did not even go to his own tent, nor did he see Polti and the other Kedun, but only arranged the affairs of the camp, and talked with Yelu Chucai in the big tent where he and the Mongol generals gathered to discuss important matters, and did not stop all night, nor did he step out of the big tent, and forbade anyone to disturb him, but only asked the servants to bring the food in during the meal, and then took out the dishes that he had eaten last time when the meal was delivered.

At first, she didn't feel anything, but after three days and three nights, the two of them were still talking, and they didn't seem to have any intention of stopping. And later, the two of them seemed to have reached the point of forgetting to sleep and eat, and twice they were sent in by people, and now the last time they were sent in, they didn't move at all.

On the one hand, he wondered what Yelu Chucai had to attract Temujin like this, and on the other hand, he was also worried about Temujin's body, so he didn't eat, drink or sleep like this, where could he stand it? So he sent some of Temujin's favorite people, Kedun Yegan, Yesui, Hulan, Gu'er Besi and others to serve as attendants to deliver food, but they still couldn't change Temujin's focus.

For most of these three days, Yelu Chucai was talking about it, and Temujin was just listening. And what the two talked about was not only about Mongolia, but also about Yelu Chucai's narration of the history of the Central Plains, the rise and fall of dynasties, and the development of the splendid civilization in modern times, such as the Song, Liao, Jin, and Western Xia.

For three days and three nights, Temujin felt a little tired energetically, but he was very happy mentally. If it is said that the aliens of Zabal Fire, Yelu Ahai, and Yelu Bald Flower made Temujin open a window from the grassland to look at the outside world, and let Temujin appreciate that beyond the grassland, there is a completely different and colorful world. Then Yelu Chucai, with his outstanding knowledge far superior to others, personally pointed out a way for Temujin to go out of the steppe and lead to the vast world and great civilization beyond the steppe and Mongolia, expanding his horizons to the whole world, and also made Temujin feel for the first time that the world of the steppe was so small.

For Temujin, most of these were unheard of. Even in the steppe, before the Mongols, there were Xiongnu, Turkic, Uighur and so on, and the dynasties of the Central Plains fought more than once. The rise and fall of each dynasty, the evolution of each period of history, is a history worth thinking about and learning from for Temujin.

Yelu Chucai could naturally see that Temujin was not interested in what he said about benevolent government, benevolence, morality, and other topics, and only out of politeness, he did not refute his words. But Yelu Chucai also knew that it was impossible for Temujin to accept these concepts at once, and he could only gradually change them by slowly and imperceptibly, knocking on the side.

For example, Tie Yuzhen once repeatedly pondered a sentence that Yelu Chucai said, "Heaven has the virtue of a good life? His understanding of this sentence was, "You have a point, our Almighty Immortal Heaven is merciful, and He will protect all living beings." ”

Although Yelu Chucai was a little embarrassed by such nondescript metaphors, he finally found a reasonable explanation for his argument that could be accepted by Temujin, and Yelu Chucai felt quite relieved. Sometimes it is a good idea to use the gods to persuade the other party.

In Yelu Chucai's narrative, what interests Temujin the most are the famous wars that were born in the history of the Central Plains, so whenever Yelu Chucai talks about war, he will get to the bottom and ask every detail of both sides of the war. And constantly express his own opinions, between words, as if he can't be a part of it.

And this is also the place where he talks the most, and it is also the place where he has the most disputes with Yelu Chucaisheng. The reason is that regarding the victory or defeat of the war, from the high point of Shi De, although Yelu Chucai is erudite and versatile, he is obviously influenced by this aspect, so he also uses the view that there is a way to win or not a way to explain the reasons for the victory or defeat of the war.

However, Temujin did not have so many rules and regulations, and considered more from the aspects of tactics and strategy and the gains and losses of the main generals on both sides, believing that war lies in the quality of the soldiers and the ability of the main generals to use the troops, and has nothing to do with morality and righteousness.

Temujin's view was obviously contrary to Yelu Chucai's original intention, and it could not be accepted by him. Therefore, when it comes to war, the two often quarrel fiercely, each holding their own opinions, and neither can convince the other. The sound was so loud that even the guards standing guard outside the tent could hear it. But after the argument, the two will immediately immerse themselves in the next topic until the next argument begins. When the two finally couldn't bear the hunger, they had to stop, eat something, and talk for a while.

Tie Yuzhen drank a bowl of mare's milk wine, and finally put forward the question he wanted to ask the most: "Chu Cai, I remember when we first met, you told me that if you want to become the lord of the Central Plains, you must act according to the rules of the Central Plains!" In the past three days, I have heard you say so many things about the Central Plains, but I still haven't figured it out, what are the rules of the Central Plains? Can you explain that for me. ”

Although Yelu Chucai was also a little tired, after hearing this question, he couldn't help but become solemn. Because he knew that this was Guan Jian's problem. Yelu Chucai is not the kind of person who only talks about benevolence, righteousness, and morality, and knows that if he only talks about benevolence, righteousness and morality, it is impossible to change Tie Xuan's true heart of killing and plundering, and if he can't understand reason, then he can only move it to benefit.

Therefore, Yelu Chucai put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and said solemnly: "The difference between the Central Plains and the grassland lies in the city first. ”

Temujin was stunned, obviously not yet understanding Yelu Chucai's words. In his opinion, the city means more population, more wealth, is the best object of plunder, and the victory obtained by capturing the city is often extremely rich, of course, the city is protected by the city wall, but it is also difficult to conquer. In addition, in Temujin's view, the city is no different from the steppe.
