Tuo Lei's death is not simple, but there are many doubts, and it is still a mystery to this day.

The first opinion is that Tuo Lei was killed by Ogedei, and that there are many people who hold this opinion. The second opinion is that Tuo Lei was willing to die for Ogedei. The third opinion is that Tremine was deceived by a sorcerer and died.

There was a motive for killing people, and Tuolei was Genghis Khan's favorite son, and Genghis Khan once planned to pass on the throne to his youngest son, Tuolei, but because Tuolei was too young at that time, he could not do so. According to the custom of the Mongols' young sons guarding the stove, Genghis Khan left his territory, property and most of his army to Tuolei, which made Tuolei have great strength. The delay in handing over power after two years of detaining mines caused dissatisfaction and resentment in Ogedei, but the city government of Ogedai was extremely deep and did not attack.

Later, under the mediation of Yelu Chucai, although Tuolei moved to the throne, the prestige of Tuolei in the Mongol Empire remained undiminished, and Ogedai always felt a serious sense of threat. Even if Tuo Lei has no objection in three or five years, who dares to guarantee that he will not have any rebellion in 10 or eight years? This is the problem that Ogedai is most worried about, and everyone else will have such worries. In Wokotai's view, instead of living in fear like this, it is better to simply kill the other party to prevent future troubles.

After inheriting the throne of Khan, Ogedai sent his second brother Chagatai away, but he kept Tuolei by his side and did not allow Tuolei to return to the territory. Anyone with a discerning eye can see at a glance that if he lets Tuo Lei return to his territory, it will be tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain, and it will be very difficult to control him again. Therefore, Wokotai firmly tied the tow mine to his side, so that the tow mine did not dare to act rashly, and once he had the opportunity, he could immediately take action and get rid of the other party.

Therefore, it is an inevitable result that Ogedai wants to get rid of the tractor mine, and it is only a matter of time.

Wokotai's design killed Tuo Lei, and Wokotai wanted to get rid of his own brother, but he didn't want to leave any handle and make the world laugh, so he carefully designed a scam. He colluded with the wizard and worked closely with him, first pretending to be sick himself, and then asking the wizard to exorcise the disease, and the wizard made up a set of nonsense to lure Thunder to the bait. After Tuo Lei took the bait, the wizard took out the so-called spell water for Tuo Lei to drink, and things went step by step according to the story of Director Wokotai, and finally achieved their goal, Tuo Lei's death was completely a conspiracy created by Wokotai.

Tuolei's death is directly related to the cup of cursed water, and this cannot but make people wonder what the so-called cursed water is? Is it still necessary to say this? The so-called cursed water is actually a cup of poisonous water that kills people. Tuo Lei died after drinking that cup of poisoned water, and he didn't die of a violent disease at all.

Did he have any antipathy? At least at that time, he didn't have any antipathy. Ogedai proceeded from his own interests and did not hesitate to kill his own brother, which was the inevitable result of the imperial power system in feudal society, and also the fundamental cause of the tragedy of Tuo Lei's life.

Tuolei was an outstanding figure, he had not only a great father Genghis Khan, but also a great son Kublai Khan, both of whom are very dazzling figures in history. Even Tulei himself made an outstanding contribution to the Mongol Empire.

As the youngest son of Genghis Khan and the father of Kublai Khan, Tuolei played a major role in the period of Genghis Khan and Ogedei. But such a man of great military achievements and a prominent figure in the Mongol Khanate died suddenly and untimely at the age of forty-one.

Tuolei's death was directly related to the cup of cursed water, because it was only a few days after Tuolei drank that glass of water that he fell ill and died. And when Tuolei's widow repeatedly mentioned that Tuolei died for the sake of Hehan, no one refuted it, including the Great Khan of Ogedei, who also felt that he owed Tuolei and his wife.

Letting Tuolei drink the cursed water was deliberately arranged by the wizards, and it was directly approved by the Great Khan of Ögedei, in which case Tuolei had to drink it, and after drinking this cup of cursed water, Tuolei left a will and died, indicating that this cup of cursed water was a bowl of poisonous water that killed people.

Because the Song and Mongolia did not make clear regulations on the ownership of Henan when they destroyed Jin, Henan became an uninhabited occupation area after the Mongol army withdrew north. At this time, the brothers Zhao Fan and Zhao Kui put forward the proposal of shutting down the Guanhe River, that is, taking the opportunity to recover the homeland of the Central Plains, including Sanjing, guarding the Tongguan in the west, and confronting Mongolia in the north by the Yellow River, which was supported by Zheng Qingzhi, who had just replaced Shi Miyuan as the phase.

However, most of the ministers, including Shi Songzhi, the head of the military department who presided over the war to destroy the Jin, were opposed, and Henan was greatly damaged in the war between the Jin Dynasty and the Mongols, and once the army entered, it was impossible to get supplies from the local area, and the time and effort of transporting grain by themselves outweighed the losses. The Southern Song army had limited combat effectiveness and was not capable of defending on the long Yellow River defense line, and the Mongols likely used this as an excuse to formally declare war on the Southern Song Dynasty.

Although the opposition was quite reasonable, Rijong had long intended to regain his ancestral inheritance, so the plan to recover Sanjing under the leadership of Rijong was finally finalized.

The plan to recover Sanjing was strategically desirable, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Mongols' northward retreat after the destruction of Jin, to increase the depth of the territory and increase the depth of defense, and to make active preparations for the upcoming battle between Song and Mongolia, as long as the recovered Henan land could slow down the pace of Mongolia's southward march and buy time for the Southern Song Dynasty to strengthen the defense from the Qinling Mountains to the Huai River.

Neither the ministers nor the opposition who were in favor of the plan to recover Sanjing were motivated entirely by the overall strategic considerations of the country, and there were too many elements of personal interests mixed in. This laid the groundwork for the Southern Song Dynasty troops to suffer heavy losses in the later uncoordinated and separate battles in the recovery of Sanjing.

Although Zhao Yanna, the Sichuan system, refused to send troops to cooperate, the plan to recover Sanjing still began to be implemented. Quan Zicai, who was the governor of Luzhou at that time, led more than 10,000 Huaixi soldiers to regain Nanjing and Guide in June, and entered Bianliang in early July. Half a month later, Zhao Kui led 50,000 troops from Sizhou to Bianliang to join Quanzi.

Both of these forces recaptured the empty city along the way, so they marched so quickly. After Zhao Kui arrived in Bianliang, he asked Quan Zicai why he didn't march to Luoyang and stayed here for half a month to delay the fighter, and the answer he got was that the food and salary had not yet arrived, and he could not enter the army.

Although the Song army was facing the dilemma of lack of supplies, Zhao Kui still ordered Xu Minzi to lead 13,000 people to go first, and Yang Yi led 15,000 people to meet and set off for Luoyang, and the two armies hurriedly went on the road with five days' rations each.

At the end of July, when Xu Minzi entered Luoyang, he found that there were only more than 300 households left in the huge Luoyang City. On the second day after the Southern Song Dynasty completed the feat of recovering Sanjing, Yang Yi, who was in charge of the response, was ambushed by the Mongol army in the east of Luoyang City, and Yang Yi's troops were almost completely annihilated. The Mongol army took advantage of the situation to attack Luoyang, and the Song and Mongolian armies fought a melee under the city of Luoyang, and no one could take advantage.

At the beginning of August, the Song army in Luoyang City was forced to withdraw after four days of food shortage, and the Mongol army took the opportunity to pursue, and the Song army suffered eight or nine out of ten injuries.

Zhao Kui and Quan Zicai were already short of food and salary in Bianliang, and after learning the news of the disastrous defeat of the troops entering Luoyang, they were also forced to withdraw from Bianliang. The Mongol army dug the Yellow River and flooded the Song army, the Song army was defeated and retreated, and Li Zong's vigorous plan to recover Sanjing ended in a farce. History called this action of the Song army Duanping into Luo, and after Duanping entered Luo, the relationship between Song and Mongolia opened a new chapter.

At the same time as the Song army's plan to recover Sanjing was implemented, Mongolia, which had destroyed its greatest enemy since the founding of the People's Republic of China, held a huge assembly of kings in Tarantapas. The purpose of the congress was to redefine the strategic objectives for Mongolia and was therefore extremely important.

Wokotai even issued an edict: "Anyone who does not attend a private banquet will be beheaded." ”

At the conference, Wokotai said to Mu Huali's grandson Tasi: "It has been forty years since the first emperor started a great cause. The Central Plains, Western Xia, Goryeo, and Uighur kingdoms have all been subjugated, but only the Song kingdom is in the southeastern corner. What do you think I want to do with my own expedition?"

Tath replied: "The minister's family has been blessed for many generations, and the plan is to repay it in case today." Although the ministers are dull, they hope to use the power of heaven to sweep away the Song Kingdom, why should the Great Khan come to the land of danger in person?"

Wo Kotai, who was said to have hit his mind, was overjoyed, and immediately ordered Tath to go south with the prince. The conference was also held in July of the first year of Duanping, and the Mongolian side did not know the news of the Southern Song Dynasty army going north. Although on the eve of the Mongol army's southward march, Ogedai sent envoys to accuse the Southern Song Dynasty of betraying the alliance, Duanping's entry into Luo was not the real reason for the Mongol invasion of the south, and whether the Southern Song army advanced north or not, it was inevitable that the Song and Mongols would go to war during the Duanping period.

In the second year of Duanping, while the Mongols invaded Korea in the east and Europe in the west, they invaded the Southern Song Dynasty in three ways. The eastern route was led by Wen Buhua to attack Lianghuai, the middle route was led by the third son of Wokotai to attack Jingxiang, and the western route was led by the second son of Wokotai to attack Sichuan, and the Southern Song Dynasty and Mongolia finally started a war.

After the Mongol army entered Huaixi on the eastern route, it drove straight into Gwangju and once hit the city of Zhenzhou, because Zhenzhou was the gateway of the Yangtze River, the Mongol army failed to attack many times and had to retreat. The Mongol army turned to attack the Anfeng army, and the Southern Song Dynasty Anfeng guard general was the veteran general Du Gao, who had long been ready for battle when he dug trenches and built cities during Anfeng. During the siege of the city, the Mongol army attacked the city with artillery, and the city wall was mostly pierced.

The Mongol army attacked the city with death squads wearing metal masks and cowhide armor, and Du Gao organized soldiers who were good at shooting arrows to shoot them in the eyes with small arrows, once again thwarting the enemy's attack. At that time, when Lu Wende came to the rescue, he and Du Gaoli should join forces to defeat the Mongolian army. The Mongolian army lost more than 17,000 soldiers under Anfeng City, and Du Gao was promoted to Huaixi pacification envoy and Luzhou governor because of his merits.

In the second year of Jiaxi, the Mongol general Chahan's army attacked Luzhou, and was defeated by Du Gao under the city, and the Song army pursued the victory, killing more than 26,000 enemies. Li Zong appointed Du Gao as the envoy of the Huaixi system, responsible for the defense of the two Huai, and the war on the eastern front came to an end.

The Mongol army in the middle of the road invaded from Henan, and the whole son of Tangzhou abandoned the city and fled, and Zhao Fan sat in Xiangyang to sparse the military and government, drinking and feasting day and night. With the northern army stationed in Xiangyang as his henchmen, he squeezed out the southern army, making the north and south armies of Xiangyang like fire and water. The soldiers of the Southern Army repeatedly wrote to the imperial court, which made Wang Min, the general of the Northern Army, deeply uneasy, and even burned the city to surrender to the Mongolian army. Li Hu, the general of the Southern Army, and others did not put out the fire or quell the rebellion, but took advantage of the fire to loot and leave.

Xiangyang had been an important frontier town of the Southern Song Dynasty for 130 years since Yue Fei recovered it from the puppet Qi, and now it was destroyed, so the Mongol army broke through the Jinghu defense line and occupied Xiangyang. Although Kuode died in the army shortly after the capture of Xiangyang, the Mongols continued to attack, and the Sui, Yingerzhou and Jingmen armies were lost, and the Mongol army approached Jiangling and drank the Yangtze River.

Meng Heng was ordered to rush to the aid of Jiangling, he confused the enemy with a suspicious tactic, ordered the troops to change the color of the flag and clothes, and the cycle went back and forth, and the torch at night illuminated the river for dozens of miles. Taking advantage of the hesitation of the Mongol army, they successively broke through 24 villages, recaptured 20,000 captive people, and stopped the offensive of the Mongol army in the middle route.

After the Battle of Gangneung, Li Zong handed over the defense of the Jinghu battlefield to Meng Hui, so Meng Heng began to recover Jingzhou and Xiangyang. In the second year of Jiaxi, Zhang Jun recovered Yingzhou, He Shun recovered the Jingmen army, and Liu Jin defeated the Mongol army at Zuntou, Fancheng, and Langshen Mountain. The Xinyang Army, Fancheng, Xiangyang, Guanghua Army, and Caizhou were also recovered one after another. This was the first planned reconquest of lost territory by the Southern Song Dynasty since the Song-Mongolian War, and it was of great significance for the defense of the Southern Song Dynasty. After the recovery of Xiangyang, Meng Heng also took the initiative to send troops to fight in Henan many times, and during the period when Meng Heng defended Xiangyang, the Mongolian army did not dare to invade the south easily.

The Kuoduan Army on the Western Front first broke through Chuzhou and then besieged Qingyeyuan, and Cao Youwen, the commander of the Lizhou Road in the Southern Song Dynasty, led his army to support and repelled the Mongol army, and then he defeated the troops of Wang Shixian, the vanguard of the Mongol army, at Da'an. The Mongol army strengthened the offensive, and Kuoduan successively conquered Wuxiu, Xingyuan Mansion, and Yangping Pass, Cao Youwen thought that he should set up an ambush to attack the enemy, but Zhao Yanna did not listen, and ordered Cao Youwen to go to Da'an, which had no danger to defend, to resist the enemy.

Cao Youwen had no choice but to decide to raid at night to annihilate the enemy's weak troops, perhaps taking the risk of winning. Unfortunately, the heavy rain delayed the speed of the march, Cao Youwen and his younger brother Cao Youwan were killed in battle, and the Song army was defeated. Cao Youwen is the twelfth grandson of the famous general Cao Bin of the Northern Song Dynasty, after the death of Cao Youwen, there was no good general in Sichuan who could resist, Lizhou, CD Tongchuan three roads and fifty-four prefectures and counties fell one after another, until Kuoduan got the news of Kuo's death from illness and plundered, and retired from the CD, which was the first time that Sichuan suffered from the sack of Mongolia.

Because the strategic focus of the Mongol army was on the westward expedition, the Mongols did not do their best in the first southern invasion, and the Southern Song Dynasty was not prepared for a comprehensive defense, and the truly tragic war between the Song and Mongolia had just begun.
