Chapter 277: Kublai Khan's Decision Fourth Update
Jinlianchuan grassland, outside the newly built Kaiping City, the company camp is long. "Top" point "small" said, X. standing at the head of the city and looking at it, as far as the eye can see, there are yurts one by one, the number is so large that it is difficult to calculate, I don't know how many large armies, have been assembled under the city of Kaiping.
This camp is where Kublai Khan's army is located!
At the same time as the prince of Zhenjin went south, the illegal Mongol Great Khan issued an order to transfer troops to the Monan steppe and the northern Han land under his rule! All the Mongol Han marquis and Mongol tribes who were loyal to him were ordered to send all the troops that could be dispatched to the Jinlianchuan steppe.
Although the news from the south is good, the whole Song Kingdom celebrates the peace talks, only the Thunderbolt Navy is under the control of Chen Dexing and openly opposes the peace talks - according to past experience, this Chen Dexing is purely looking for death!
But Kublai Khan always had a bad premonition in his heart, and he was also familiar with the history books of the Han Dynasty. There are many generals in the history of the Han people who can fight well, but it is quite rare to be as obedient and talk a lot of nonsense as Yue Fei! In most cases, the famous generals of the Han people are masters who are no less ambitious than they are, and they want to jump off the wall in a hurry to do something - and Chen Dexing, who is very savage, is said to be more ferocious than the Mongols! This kind of character is not Yue Wumu......
Therefore, Kublai Khan did not have much hope for the peace from the beginning, and he did not have the habit of pinning his hopes on the enemy! The reason why he exerted the greatest effort to mobilize the army was that he wanted to fight a quick battle and defeat Ali Buge, who was going south to crusade against him, in one fell swoop!
Standing at the head of the city, looking at his army, Kublai Khan's triangular eyes shot a sharp light. There are already 180,000 people gathered here! Among them, there are 50,000 Mongols, 130,000 Han Chinese, and Semu people. This is already the largest force that can be dispatched by the Northland and Southern Mongolia - of course. Yidu Li Pu was still unmoved, and did not send a single soldier on the grounds of guarding against Chen Dexing's Northern Expedition. However, Li Pu's brother-in-law, King Tachar, promised to send 20,000 troops to help. It's just that it hasn't come yet.
"Just wait for the arrival of Tachar's troops to fight a decisive battle, and we must leave Ali Buge's main force in the Golden Lotus River grassland!"
Kublai Khan spoke to himself. Ali Buge after getting the main force of the Central Ulus. There are as many as 60,000 troops that can be dispatched, and all of them are Mongols! If he can still get the support of the other three of the four kings of the host country. Then it is also possible to concentrate 100,000 Mongol troops.
As for Ali Buge, his limited financial resources - mainly supported by the 3 million coins given by the Southern Song Dynasty - so he could not maintain an army of 100,000 people for a long time, so he could only choose to go south for a decisive battle this autumn.
But for Kublai Khan, difficulties were also in place. Due to the two variables of Chen Dexing and Li Pu, he did not dare to deploy the main force of his Mongolian army in Mobei or the Western Regions for a long time. Once Ali Buge led his troops away, the civil war in Mongolia would be prolonged.
"It would be nice if Ali Buge's life could be left behind......"
While Kublai Khan was muttering to himself, inside the city gates, the sound of hooves was heard. The Mongolian soldiers on duty in the city subconsciously widened their eyes. Because these horsemen did not come from the north, but entered from the south gate of Kaiping City!
This is an urgent report from Yanjing! What could it be? Could it be that the peace negotiation with the Song State failed?
Galloping into the city were dozens of Mongolian knights, all dressed in pitch-black leather armor, all of them were one man and three horses, like a galloping black tide, which seemed to crash into the bottom of people's hearts. These are the Mongolian cavalry who stayed in Yanjing, and they came in a hurry, what are they for?
Dozens of knights first rushed to Kublai Khan's palace and asked where Kublai Khan was. And he went straight to the northern wall. After dismounting, a somewhat short knight led by the other two older knights flew up to the city, and Kublai Khan's personal guard did not stop him!
Kublai Khan looked at the visitor in some surprise. As they approached, his triangular eyes suddenly shrank, and a look of horror slipped across his face. The person who came turned out to be Yao Shu, Kublai Khan's most relied on think tank!
Yao Shu was ordered to stay in Yanjing to assist Empress Chabi. Why did you run to Kaiping in a smoke? He also pretended to be a Mongolian armor, obviously not wanting others to know that he had come to Kaiping.
"Please Khan hold back and ...... left and right," Yao Shu came up and saluted Kublai Khan. Without saying anything, he asked him to retreat from the guards on the left and right.
Kublai Khan waved his hand, and the figures waiting for the guards on the left and right all retreated dozens of steps. Yao Shu fell to his knees with a puff. Burst out and wept bitterly.
"Great Khan, the real golden prince is gone! The real golden prince called the southern barbarian to death! ”
When Kublai Khan heard this, he felt dizzy for a while, and his body shook and almost fell: "How can this be! The news from the ten days doesn't say that Zhao Yun promised to marry the princess to my son? ”
Yao Shu gritted his teeth: "There was a coup d'état in Lin'an half a month ago!" Chen Dexing's traitor because the princess wanted to marry the prince of Zhenjin, he launched a coup d'état in a fit of rage and invaded the imperial city with 3,000 elite soldiers...... Put, nail Master Hao alive on top of the wooden chun, and also, burn the real golden prince and all the people in the mission! ”
"Ahh "Puff !!"
Kublai Khan screamed, and sat on the ground with a buttocks: "South, the Nanban court has been controlled by Chen Dexing!! ”
His eyes were about to pop out, and he just stared at Yao Shu. Although he was shocked by the murder of his son, he had many sons, one of whom died, and there were still a bunch of them! As a generation of male lords, he naturally has weak family affection, how could he be so out of shape for the death of a son?
But...... The news of Chen Dexing's coup d'état in Lin'an made him feel terrified, as if a voice shouted in his heart: "Lord! A male lord of the Southern Barbarians was born! Billions of Han Chinese will soon be ruled by a lord as great as me! This is the lord of billions of people! ”
"Don't worry, the Great Khan, Chen Dexing, this thief has a shallow foundation, and he can't control the court of the Southern Barbarians, but he just abolished Zhao Yun, supported the crown prince Zhao Yu to ascend the throne, and then prepared to lead the Northern Expedition ......"
The news that Yao Shu got was sent by Liu Xiaoyuan, and it was ten days ago, when the Lin'an coup had just taken place.
"Lead the Northern Expedition!" Kublai Khan jumped up again, his face covered with beads of sweat.
Chen Dexing wants to go on a northern expedition...... Don't ask, you must be killing yourself! Ali doesn't brother, he can't reach it, who doesn't kill himself? Now that Ali Buge's army is coming over to the Jinlianchuan grassland, if Chen Dexing comes from the south again, there is still a Li Pu with ill intentions, and he is still fighting like this?
"Don't worry, the Great Khan, Chen Dexing, this thief is not going to cut down the Central Plains, but to attack Goryeo across the sea!"
"Vagoryeo?" Kublai Khan breathed a sigh of relief, "Is the news confirmed?" ”
"You can't be wrong." Yao Shu said, "The 300-year-old foundation of the Zhao and Song dynasties, where is it so easy to shake? Chen Wei only succeeded for a while, Lin'an people's hearts, Jiangnan Shilin, and the courtiers of the Zhao family all supported Zhao and opposed Chen. In such a situation, how dare Chen Thief go north to the Central Plains? His subordinates thought that he went east to Goryeo to avoid disaster and take a piece of land to live in. ”
"Really?" Kublai Khan wiped his sweat and restored the bearing of a generation of heroes.
"It's true!" Yao Shu took out Liu Xiaoyuan's handwritten letter and presented it to Kublai Khan with both hands. "Although Chen Dexing's thief forced Zhao Yun to retreat from the Southern Barbarian official, it was Jia Nidao who served as the commander of Pingzhang's military affairs and controlled the government! Chen Huaiqing, the father of the Chen thief, is just the right prime minister and privy envoy, and he is only one of the six ministers of Gu Ming. In addition, most of the generals of the Southern Barbarians have cultivated their strength, and if the Lin'an Imperial Court is still dignified, they can be reluctantly ordered. Now it is to divide the feudal town, just like the five dynasties at the end of the Tang Dynasty. And ......"
Yao Shu showed a little joy, and said: "And the father and son of the Chen family also killed themselves and proposed the method of using martial arts to win soldiers!" ”
"Warriors by force?" Kublai Khan was stunned, "What do you mean?" ”
"It's just that the Nanban imperial examination doesn't test moral articles," Yao Shu didn't know much about the specific rules for taking warriors by martial arts—in fact, it wasn't finalized—and he just analyzed it by imagination: "Maybe the next Nanban imperial examination will test archery, horseback riding, and wrestling!" ”
This is...... Imperial examination? Kublai Khan said in his heart, how is this almost the same as the Naadam Conference? In the future, the officials of the Southern Barbarians are not weak people, but all Badu'er with high martial arts? How can this great Mongolia destroy the southern barbarians and unify the four seas?
Thinking of this, Kublai Khan snorted heavily, and slapped the wall brick with his palm: "This thief killed my brother, killed my ** son, cut off the peace between the north and the south, and plotted to attack my vassal Goryeo, how can I spare him?" ”
Yao Shu also stood up and said in a low voice: "This thief must not be allowed to become big in Goryeo!" Otherwise, sooner or later, the Nanban Imperial Court will be controlled by it! ”
Kublai Khan sneered, and spoke as if he was gritting his teeth: "This thief can't occupy Goryeo's ...... Goryeo is the place where he is buried! ”
"Great Khan...... I still have to defeat Ali Buge first! Yao Shu was afraid that he would faint because of the loss of his son, so he hurriedly reminded, "The news must be blocked, and the Han army here in Jinlianchuan must not know that His Highness has been killed!" ”
Several Han marquis who supported Kublai Khan were all in the nest, if they knew that the Mengsong peace was in vain, their nest could be attacked by the Song army at any time, and it would be strange if people were panicked!
"It's to block the news!" Kublai Khan nodded heavily, "Let Tachar take the soldiers and horses of the four kings of the host to Goryeo!" ”
"Great Khan...... Can the four kings of the host listen to you? Yao Shu was a little puzzled, he hadn't heard that all the four kings of the host country had taken refuge in Kublai Khan. Dingtian is that the prince of Tachar promised to help Kublai Khan, and the other three kings are all inclined to Ali Buge.
"Hehe," Kublai Khan sneered, "the four kings of the host won't listen to me, and they won't really listen to Ali Buge...... A few of them only know about wealth and beauty, so they can't refuse Goryeo! The country of Goryeo is the fief of the four kings, and it is the land of real feud! The millions of people of Goryeo are their slaves! All the riches of Goryeo are at their disposal! (To be continued......)
