Cheng Yue's right army seemed busy but not chaotic on the surface, and all the armies were preparing for a decisive battle, but in fact they were turbulent.

The six kings such as Xiliji and the six generals such as Zhang Hongfan, as well as Kuokuo, all secretly wooed the soldiers, and gave both grace and power. The progress of the six kings such as Cyriji is smoother, after all, they are all their old subordinates, Zhang Hongfan and the others have just arrived, and there are not many places to focus on.

Fortunately, Cheng Yue won a big victory, which shocked the subordinates of the six kings, and Cheng Yue's farewell ceremony bought the hearts of many Yuan army soldiers.

The sixth general was worried that Cheng Yue would be punished for not achieving good results, so he found Kuokuo and Lian Xixian to accompany them to Cheng Yue to plead their case. I thought that Cheng Yue would at least put on a face, but Cheng Yue was not in a hurry at all, and in turn comforted the generals so that they could not be impatient, just do their best, so that the generals were greatly moved.

There are still three days before the decisive battle, but Cheng Yue can't see the urgency at all, he hides in the tent every day and is busy with something, and his subordinates will go in and out, and everyone is relaxed. Compared with the solemnity and solemnity of the left army and the large battalion of the Chinese army, it seems to be more weightless.

In the afternoon of that day, Kublai Khan summoned Cheng Yue to the Golden Horde to discuss matters, and Cheng Yue was prepared early and soon arrived.

As soon as he entered the Golden Tent, Cheng Yue saw an unfamiliar face outside Kublai Khan's important ministers.

Kublai Khan pointed to the man and said to Cheng Yue: "Cheng Yue, this is the envoy Aruhun sent by the Iba Khan of the Ilkhanate, the eldest son of the Abaha Khan, this time the Aba Ha is far away and cannot send troops to help, but he has sent troops to attack the two khanates at the same time, so that they can no longer be able to reinforce Haidu and Timur, and send Arukhunt to report." ”

Cheng Yue smiled and stepped forward to greet Aluhun.

Abha was the eldest son of Hülegü. He was also the second khan of the Ilkhanate. Historically, he was succeeded by his younger brother after his death. But Aruhun was dissatisfied, believing that the Khan should be his. So he conspired with the important minister Buhua to seize the throne of Khan, which was later recognized by Kublai Khan.

Cheng Yue has many places where he can be used, and he is very polite to him. Aluhun looked Cheng Yue up and down for a long time, and was very shocked.

He didn't hear about Cheng Yue in the Ilkhanate, and only after he arrived did he know that there was such a number one. Cheng Yue was not only able to defeat Kublai Khan, but also defeated Duwa and He Hu a few days ago. Aluhun thought that Cheng Yue must be a big man, but who knew that he was a gentle young Han man. Is he really that good?

After taking his seat, Kublai Khan asked, "Cheng Yue, how are you preparing there?" “

Cheng Yue said without hesitation: "The minister is sure of victory." ”

Kublai Khan knew that he had never spoken big, so he was very happy and said, "Cheng Yue, you have a lot of troops there, and after defeating Duwa and Hehu, I want you to quickly divide your troops to help me and Ashu." If you can, try to surround and annihilate the soldiers and horses of the three khanates! ”

Cheng Yue hugged his fists and said, "Yes." ”

Aruhun said: "If the Great Khan defeats them here, my father Khan will take advantage of the situation." Let them suffer another big loss in the west! ”

Kublai Khan and his ministers laughed.

Cheng Yue didn't smile, turned to face Aruhun and said, "Aruhun." The first time we met, we shouldn't have said anything, but the big war is about to begin, and I'm afraid that I may not have a chance in the future, just in front of the Great Khan, I have a few things to say about the Ilkhanate. ”

Not only Aruhun, but also the people in the temple were stunned. What happened to the Ilkhanate Guan Chengyue? What did he want to say?

Aruhun didn't feel offended, but aroused interest, and said with a smile: "I know you know a lot, just now I was still looking through the "History" you wrote, everything is written in it, there are some things that I don't even know, where did you hear about it?" Come, if you have something to say, I'd love to hear it. ”

Cheng Yue Zhengse said: "There are three main things, the first thing, don't hope for the Crusades, neither Edward I of England nor the Franks can count on it. Edward I was too incompetent, the Franks were too cowardly, and the Byzantines were just trying to rely on you to defend themselves against the Mamluks of Egypt (a very powerful Muslim kingdom that defeated the Mongol expeditionary force and brought the Mongols to Asia). ”

The spirit of Aruhun was invigorated, and the Mongols of the Ilkhanate believed in Buddhism and were incompatible with the Mamluks, and they had been fighting incessantly for many years. A few years ago, Timur, the busy brother of the Kipchak Khanate, formed an alliance with the Mamluks because of his belief in Islam, and attacked the Ilkhanate from the north and south, and later forced the busy brother Timur to stop invading south after Kublai Khan's intervention.

The Ilkhanate formed an alliance with the Crusaders and some European monarchs who also hated Islam against the Mamluks, but they were unable to provide the Ilkhanate with substantial help.

The Byzantine Emperor Michael VIII sent his beautiful illegitimate daughter Maria, who was supposed to marry Hulegu, but when he arrived, Hulegu happened to die, so Abha married Maria as a side concubine. It was contrary to Christian doctrine to do so, but Michael VIII was bent on relying on the Ilkhanate to fend off the Mamluk attacks and did not care.

King Edward I of England organized the Eighth Crusade and sent emissaries to ask Abbaha to join him in an attack to the west. Abaha sent his troops on time and won a series of victories, but the coalition of Edward I, the Franks, and the Crusaders could not even achieve a decent victory. But Ah Baha still didn't give up, and asked Edward I and those people to send troops in a few years, which is what Cheng Yue said.

Cheng Yue said: "The second thing, you have received all the land into your own hands, how can the peasants be willing to work?" There will only be more and more people fleeing, and if there is no one to work, there will be no harvest in the fields, and you will not have wealth. You might as well relax a little and let the people who work for you get a piece of land, and you will kill two birds with one stone. It not only cultivates the loyalty of your soldiers to you, but also benefits from the field. ”

The exploitation of the peasants by the Ilkhanate was cruel, confiscating all the peasants' land, hoping to get all the output of the land, but it backfired, and the peasants were unwilling to let their blood and sweat be taken away in vain, so that they left their land and fled in all directions, and it was useless for Abaha to order a ban.

Aruhun's expression was serious, no one dared to say these words in the Ilkhanate, but he was told by a Han man thousands of miles away.

Cheng Yue said: "The third thing, I hope you build a canal to connect the Arabian Sea and the Mediterranean, there have been many kings who have tried to build it before, there should be an old way to check, I will also give you a map." It's a big undertaking, but it's necessary. After the completion of the construction, the trade routes will be opened, and the shipping routes between me and Europe will not have to go far, and you will be able to reap huge riches! ”

The people present couldn't understand Cheng Yue's words, but Aluhun couldn't be clearer. After the goods of the Song Dynasty were transported to the end of the Arabian Sea, they would be transported by land to docks in the Mediterranean Sea and reloaded to Europe, which was time-consuming, laborious and extremely detrimental, especially porcelain. In addition, the road is not very smooth, so that only one in a thousand pieces is intact, so the goods are sky-high prices after arriving in Europe.

Cheng Yue asked them to build the Suez Canal in later generations, this canal has been proposed by many emperors, and it is said that it was really built, but because of the underdevelopment of commerce at that time, there were too few ships to come and go and quickly abandoned. Aluhun had seen its ruins and lamented the disappearance of this canal, but he didn't expect Cheng Yue to know about its existence, which is really the same as a hero.

The canal was in the hands of the Ilkhanate and the Mamluks because it involved trade routes, and was now under the control of the Ilkhanate. If the canal is really built, the Ilkhanate can collect an endless stream of river crossing fees, and secondly, it can monopolize the trade between the Song Dynasty and even the Yuan Dynasty and Europe, which means countless mountains of gold and silver!

Aluhun was moved by Cheng Yue's words, thought for a moment, and said: "This canal needs to be built for almost two hundred miles, and the project is huge, where do we get so many people and money?" ”

Cheng Yue said: "I will send you my latest and greatest goods, such as the glasses worn by Da Khan's eyes." You can use these things to buy slaves and grain from the surrounding countries, and even buy black slaves from the Mamluk dynasty. Those slaves were cheap, a set of ordinary porcelain could be exchanged for hundreds of black slaves, and a mirror could be exchanged for even more. After the canal is built, the money will be uncountable! You have money, you have people, and you have the support of the Great Khan and me, what is there to be afraid of in Mamluk? ”

Aru shook his fist with his eyebrows fluttering and said, "Okay! As long as you are the talker, I can go back and convince Father Khan! ”

Before Cheng Yue could answer, Kublai Khan smiled and said: "Cheng Yue, this person, has never regretted what he promised, you can rest assured." Kublai Khan was very happy that Cheng Yue had found a way for the Ilkhanate to prosper the country, which was also his kindness.

Aruhun laughed and said, "Great Khan, I trekked to Alimali this time, and the harvest was so big!" When I go back, my father Khan will praise me. ”

He lowered his head and thought about it, took out a small bag from his arms, handed it to Cheng Yue, and said, "Thank you for teaching me a lesson today and helping me a lot." Here are a few gems I got for you, and there is a black pearl in it that is rare and the most rare. ”

Cheng Yue unceremoniously took it into his arms and said, "When you leave, I will give you some of my best goods to ensure that your father Khan will like it." ”

Seeing that Cheng Yue was more bold and close, Aluhun suddenly remembered something and asked: "I won't tell you, I have also thought about repairing the canal, and I have specially asked someone before, and some local craftsmen said that the water surface of the two seas must be the same as high to repair, how can I be sure?"
