Kublai Khan sighed: "I will definitely discuss these matters with you in the future, and you will bear more." ”

Cheng Yue was greatly moved, and said: "Father Khan, the sons serve the father Khan, it is justified, and the father Khan will wait for the sons and daughters to pacify Japan and Liaodong and come back." ”

Kublai Khan said, "Then when will you leave?" ”

Cheng Yue said: "Erchen should still go according to the set date, so as not to make a false alarm and provoke a laughing stock, and then find a way to catch up after setting off." ”

Kublai Khan couldn't help but praise: "Good! What a general! Worthy of my Kublai Khan's god-sent horse! He patted Cheng Yue on the shoulder and said, "You go to Nang Jiazhen, Nan Bi is also waiting for you to teach her to learn the piano, teach her more before you leave, she is very obsessed." Nanbi has been with me for more than ten years, and I have never seen her like this. ”

Cheng Yue said: "Yes, Erchen will go immediately." He bowed calmly to Kublai Khan, turned around and walked towards the harem.

Chabi looked at Cheng Yue's back and praised: "Great Khan, you have found a great horse, and Dayuan relies on him in more and more places." ”

Kublai Khan smiled: "Yes, from the inside out, he has to worry about everything, but fortunately with him, otherwise the consequences of the last Northern Expedition and this Eastern Expedition would be unimaginable." ”

Chabi said: "The Great Khan might as well give him some extra rewards, I didn't think it was appropriate to ask him for New Year's coins last time." Cheng Yue didn't need much help from the Great Khan to fight Japan, but also pacified the host kings for the Great Khan and re-established the province of Liaodong. Which is bigger than Liaodong or Japan? I turned around and actually had to pay the New Year's coin to Dayuan! The Great Khan is not afraid of being honest and being said to be harsh? ”

Kublai Khan smiled awkwardly and said, "I was also forced to shout that I would attack Japan for a few years. The envoys were also killed. also dispatched so many soldiers, horses, money and food. How can you get nothing? I'll make an exception to marry him, and he'll have to do something great for me. I understand what you mean, and I'll give him some compensation soon. Come on, let's eat cake, there are several of them, hehe. ”

Cha Bi saw that Kublai Khan promised to compensate Cheng Yue, and his mood was calmer. In her opinion, Cheng Yue made many great contributions to Kublai Khan. Kublai Khan, however, was stingy with his reward, which is really unreasonable.

Cheng Yue didn't go to Nangjiazhen, but went directly to Nanbi. Nan Bi sent away the people around him, and Cheng Yue immediately fell into madness.

After finishing the business, Cheng Yue did not forget to teach the piano seriously, and after eating at Nangjiazhen at noon, he slipped to Nuhan and Sabuhu, and finally went back from the Kuokulun and Babahan Palace.

The green hat on Kublai Khan's head is accumulating more and more, but Kublai Khan's character in some aspects is also deserved.

Following. Five generals, including Nangjia, Huaidu, Zhaoerchi, Song Dumuda, and Li Heng, came to visit. The Thirteen Taibao of Zhennan Wang, as most of them are called, do not include Umar, who is far away in Yunnan, and Lian Xixian, who governs Jingxiang. The eight generals who had already set off for Goryeo and the five in front of them were members of the Thirteenth Taibao.

Cheng Yue's expedition to the east called Kublai Khan for these thirteen people. Kublai Khan did not hesitate, and immediately ordered them to return to Cheng Yue and obey the dispatch.

After these thirteen generals followed Cheng Yue and received some training, they were soon promoted in the army, but they also made some progress, and they have always maintained their short hair.

Cheng Yue asked about the situation in the army, and said: "Tomorrow, the army will set off with an oath, and after departure, it will march in a hurry, catch up with the Chinese army in front as soon as possible, and then catch up with the leading instigation capital and Oluchi, be sure to keep the grain and grass, and don't let Naiyan get involved." ”

The five generals replied in unison, and Nang Jialu said with shame on his face: "Lord, Prime Minister Boyan asked the last general to ask the prince for guilt on his behalf, and the five of us also want to ask for guilt, but I never thought that Nayan might attack the military rations, once the military rations are robbed, we will fight hard to take it back!" ”

Cheng Yue waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, it's still too late, and besides, Nai Yan may not have the courage to do so, I'm just taking precautions." ”

Huaidu said in a sullen voice: "With Naiyan's temperament, as long as he learns the news that the prince wants to reset the province of Liaodong, eighty percent will make up his mind on military rations as the prince said." ”

Copying the equator: "Lord, the kings of the host country may not be monolithic, does the prince still remember the Tugul of Donghong Jira?" I don't believe that he still dares to be an enemy of the prince, and the prince can summon him to war. ”

Cheng Yue nodded and said, "That's what I mean, but it's best to wait until I come back from Japan." ”

Li Heng said: "Lord Wang, the host kings have 200,000 troops, and we only have 160,000 troops at most, is the strength enough?" ”

Cheng Yue said: "Enough." After returning from Japan, Li Ting and Liu Guojie can immediately switch from the navy to cavalry, and the marines under my command are also proficient in cavalry archery, and they can add at least 30,000 elite soldiers, even if there are casualties in the attack on Japan, it will not be too big. In my opinion, only 12 to 140,000 troops are enough to defeat Naiyan, which is more than enough. ”

Song Dumuda boasted: "With the prince personally leading the troops, no matter how strong Naiyan's troops are, they are useless. ”

Cheng Yue looked serious and said, "There is no victory in vain in the world!" That being said, it's useless to really fight and move out of my name. Battles are fought, not spoken. Even if he is single-handed, bare-handed, I will not despise him in the slightest. ”

Song Dumuda's fart slapped on the horse's leg, but he was convinced by Cheng Yue's words, and said with the other three generals: "What the prince said is very true!" ”

Cheng Yue said: "You will set off tomorrow, you go back to prepare, prepare enough horses, and there must be no mistakes."

"Yes!"

In order to catch up with the army in front, Cheng Yue specially asked Kublai Khan for 10,000 horses to enrich his army. With these 10,000 horses, the army led by Dewen Buhua and others can have three horses per person, and the speed of the march can be accelerated, and Cheng Yue can also take the opportunity to get a few more horses and not return them, which is also another layer of intention that Cheng Yue must go according to the established time.

The five generals left the palace, and Cheng Yue was not idle, and entered the palace again to bid farewell to Kublai Khan.

This time the report was omitted, and Kublai Khan was waiting for him early in the morning.

Kublai Khan saw that Cheng Yue was walking in high spirits when he entered the palace, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he was really old.

Kublai Khan simply said a few words of encouragement, and then advised: "This trip must hurt fewer people's lives, if you want to kill, try to only kill the generals, don't hurt the people, you must know that Japan will be your feudal country in the future, and it will not be good to kill too many people." ”

Cheng Yue said: "Yes, Erchen also thinks so. ”

Kublai Khan looked at Cheng Yue and pondered for a moment, waved his hand violently, and said: "The 10,000 horses don't have to be returned, just as the military supplies I gave you, you have to go south next year, you can't do without horses." ”

Cheng Yue was overjoyed, this was really a gift that fell from the sky, he really didn't plan to pay it back, but it would be better if Kublai Khan took the initiative to give it to him. He gave Kublai Khan 50,000 taels of silver every year, and he could only buy a thousand Mongolian war horses at most, and it could not be the best war horse. Kublai Khan's words made him make a lot of money, and when the Southern Song Dynasty was expanding its army, there was a serious shortage of war horses, which was regarded as a solution to his urgent need.

Cheng Yue bowed down and thanked him, and Kublai Khan said: "You remember, you have to deal with the affairs of Liaodong Province, don't leave too much trouble for me, otherwise I won't allow you to return south, stay in Liaodong to clean up the mess, and you will be allowed to go back only after you have cleaned up." ”

Cheng Yue was secretly vigilant, knowing that someone must have mentioned this hidden danger in front of Kublai Khan, or it could also be Kublai Khan's own idea. No matter what happened, when Kublai Khan said this to his face, he really didn't want to deliberately leave a mess for Kublai Khan to deal with the aftermath.

Cheng Yue changed his mind and said: "Father Khan can rest assured, since it is the son who wants to re-establish the province of Liaodong, he will never let his father Khan bother to work hard, and the affairs of the province of Liaodong will be taken care of by the son." If there is any change in the host kings, it will be solved by the sons. ”

This time, Kublai Khan was taken aback, he didn't expect Cheng Yue to agree so happily that he would even have to take care of the future! The worries of those ministers seemed unreasonable, and Cheng Yue sincerely pacified Liaodong for himself.

Chabi glanced at Kublai Khan with disgust, and was very disapproving of Kublai Khan's repeated suspicions of Cheng Yue. When did Cheng Yue calculate Dayuan? On the contrary, he has been contributing to Dayuan. Only one pacified the three khanates, and he was worthy of all the rewards that Kublai Khan had given him. Kublai Khan is always so suspicious, isn't he afraid of chilling Cheng Yue's heart?

Kublai Khan coughed lightly, hiding his embarrassment, and said: "You don't have to wait until tomorrow, just take Nan Jiazhen today, and if you have time, you will teach Nanbi and Babahan piano, and I don't know when you come back." ”

Cheng Yue said respectfully: "Yes, Erchen will go, stay for a while today, and teach more if you can." "Dodge away.

Chabi waited for Cheng Yue's footsteps to get farther away, and said softly: "How? Too much to worry about, right? What do you want to say now? ”

Kublai Khan sighed and said: "Cheng Yue can't be regarded as the real courtiers of Dayuan after all, you can't blame them for having doubts, it's good to be clear, lest after the war in Liaodong, rumors will spread in the court." ”

Cha Bi said: "In the eyes of the Great Khan, what will Cheng Yue do?" You have to be famous. ”

Kublai Khan stared in the direction of Liaodong and said leisurely: "I don't know, but he must have his own ideas, his mind is difficult for others to guess, let him be." ”

Cheng Yue first went to Nanbi to say goodbye. Nan Bi was like mixing oil with him, reluctant to let him go, and entangled with Cheng Yue for a long time before he was willing to let him go. Before leaving, he also stuffed an unmarked piece of Luopa into Cheng Yue's hand for him to wipe his sweat.

When he came out of the Nanbi Temple, he routinely went to the Kuokolun and Nuhan Temples, and after a farewell, he always had to give an explanation.

The four queens and princesses knew that Cheng Yue was leaving, and after lingering, they all gave him something to take with him, some were silk scarves, some were sachets, and some were small jade pieces, and Nuhan gave Cheng Yue the knife he used to cut meat, and specially emphasized that this knife was only used by her, and Kublai Khan did not know.

Cheng Yue put away the things one by one, which was the intention they gave him at a huge risk, which was precious. (To be continued.) )
