Chapter 118: The Host

Although there is a black technology that is ahead of the times, it took a lot of trouble to contact Li Shiyi's department, and it was thanks to the help of Jiang Ning at sea, they acted as a relay in the middle, so that Liu Yu's orders could be conveyed to the past dt.com.

But after receiving Liu Yuxin's order, he naturally had to re-plan, and what made Li Shiyi nerve-wracking was that he had no contact with that side, and he was afraid that going rashly would be no different from the end of not spending, and he would be treated as a spy and sent to the capital.

The fiefdom of Ulus Khan Naiyan was roughly in the area between the Songhua River and the Nenjiang River to the Heilongjiang River basin in later generations, and as one of the best high-quality farmland reserves in the whole of China, the fertile land showed a black-red color, which was a sign of a surplus of nutrients, but unfortunately their owners were nomads and had no interest in the land without pasture.

Therefore, successive khans have focused on expanding around the periphery, and by the time of Naiyan's generation, they almost extended their power to the Yalu River, which can be imagined how large an area it was.

However, no matter how big the territory is, no one is useless, Kublai Khan's trick hit the key point of his people, hundreds of Jurchen tribes were emptied, even if there is something strange in his heart, he is helpless, just with the Mongols in the tribe, how can he be the opponent of the master in the capital?

In addition to manpower, there was not much left for them in terms of material resources, not only did they bring their own war horses to provide them, but they didn't even let go of a few weapons, if it weren't for that, how could the leader of that tribe be stunned and rush to a few knives and axes.

"Ding, you want us to be on the side of the Ulus Khan, but the children in the tribe are all under the command of Xue Chan Khan, if he knows, maybe these children will not come back."

Se was stunned and pressed Lao Ding's arm, and then said: "No, we are friends, friends should tell the truth before, I am not asking you, but I really can't do it." ”

In fact, Lao Ding couldn't understand Li Shiyi's instructions, just with the old and weak women and children in the mountains, how could they be willing to stand on the opposite side of Kublai Khan, he took people to almost every tribe in the mountains in the past month, and the results were similar.

"Se stunned, I don't want you to betray anyone or take refuge in anyone, I just want to give you a gift, no matter who can win between Ulus Khan and Xue Chan Khan, in this mountain forest, they can't do without your support, since that's the case, why don't you leave a way out?"

"But in the current situation, I'd rather one side be wiped out, and then I can pay one less tribute."

Se Ge shook his head, if he was given a choice, it would be the one in the capital city who was more powerful on the surface, "Then you should listen to me even more, because my master will not sit idly by and watch him be destroyed." ”

Lao Ding was a little surprised, his role changed quickly, this was a completely different experience compared to doing business for the Ding family merchant before, he actually provoked the fight between the two powerful forces, and in retrospect, he was surprised.

"Okay, tell me what you're going to do."

Se was stunned as if he was entangled and had no choice.

"Let your people go on a trip and cut out their ears, and warn him that the Great Khan may be bad for him, and this trip is only afraid of failure."

If it was just to send someone to pass on a message, Se was stunned and didn't think much about it, and was about to nod and agree, when a voice suddenly sounded from outside.

"It's not possible, tell him that Xue Chan Khan has already made a move, and behind the envoy is the army of conquest, and he must personally go to the garrison of the Ulus Khan and persuade them to be prepared, and not to go, then they will fall into a trap."

Li Shiyi's voice was as fast as his footsteps, and when the words fell, the people had already walked in front of them, covered in dust and raunchyness, and they had come day and night.

Lao Ding translated his words, and was stunned by the words of this Han man, if it was really like that, what was the point of going by himself?

His idea was not wrong, just as Li Shiyi arrived in the mountains and forests, far away in the Songnen Plain, in the Songnen Plain, Kublai Khan's envoy had just walked out of Naiyan's big tent, and the news he brought made the people in the tent look at each other.

In fact, in history, until the twentieth year of the Yuan Dynasty, the situation in the east on the surface seems to be unstable, although the host kings led by Naiyan are secretly expanding their own power, but to say that they will rebel?

I'm afraid that these people themselves will not believe it.

The reason is very simple, this place is too close to the capital, from the Mongolian homeland, so close that as long as they have any trouble, the capital will react in a few days, just like the territorial dispute mentioned by the envoy at the moment, this kind of thing is not the first time, and of course it will not be the last, but it has never been like today, which has attracted the Great Khan to personally summon them and let them go to the capital to argue whether they win or lose.

"It's just that the lowly Koreans also want to reason with us, so according to me, just ignore them, will Kublai Khan stand on their side?"

Naiyan's fief is located on the side of Liaodong, occupying a large area with the most abundant water and grass in the two river basins, which is also his confidence as the head of the kings of the host road, so most of the time his big tent is the center of the kings' deliberations, hearing this, a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes tightened his robe and stood up.

"What's impossible, they are not just Koreans, they are still his son-in-law over there, you robbed Kudu Lujian's lost dowry, Kublai Khan will not settle accounts with you, Chabi will also fight with you."

The man's words made all the kings in the big tent laugh, south of the Yalu River to the king's capital of the Goryeo, these lands were taken from them by the Yuan people when they conquered Goryeo, and the Goryeo people did not return it after surrendering, but became a part of Liaodong, when Kublai Khan married his daughter into Goryeo, some people jokingly called these lands his daughter's dowry, but in fact, the Goryeo people are also angry about this, and have been secretly expanding to that side, which will cause conflicts between the two sides.

"Kublai Khan has more daughters than his herd, so what's the problem if one or two are missing, we are part of the family."

"But don't forget, we are only a sideline, not Genghis Khan's bloodline."

"More than ten years ago, he competed with Ali Buge for the throne, if it wasn't for our support, would he be where he is today?"

"If he had remembered the kindness he had given him more than a decade ago, he wouldn't have summoned us to confront Dadu."

Listening to these hustle and bustle of quarrels, the man did not seem to hear it, and kept pacing in the big tent, what he was thinking about was not these superficial speculations, and his intuition told him that Kublai Khan's summoning was probably not so simple.

What else is there in Liaodong now?

Almost all the tribes were evacuated, and what remained in the mountains and forests was either old and weak or women, and this obvious defensive posture was not just to deal with these people in the accounts?

Kublai Khan wanted so many soldiers and horses, and in the end, whether he wanted to go west to crusade against the tenacious Haidu or go south to conquer the vast number of Han people, he didn't care, what benefits he could get from it was the most important thing.

In the face of interests, the bloodline is ridiculous, only real things are the foundation of this world, the kings of the host country are strong together, even Kublai Khan will be jealous, who will care if they are the descendants of Genghis Khan at that time?

For the position of the Great Khan of Mongolia, they can only exert side influence now, coldly watching these so-called orthodox people fight for each other, but who knows which day, good luck will fall on their heads?

After all, the grassland pays attention to the respect of the strong, and they are also members of the golden family, so why can't they think about it.

"Nai Yan, what do you think, do you really plan to go?"

The man's thoughts were interrupted by the exit, and he turned his head to work together for the queen of Genghis Khan's line, Hadan Bald Lugan, among the kings, his thoughts were the most undisguised, and he was almost naked and disobedient.

"Be quiet."

Nayan stretched out his hands and pressed them, and the people in the tent stopped arguing.

"No matter what we think, nominally, he is our sect king, and he has a legitimate reason to summon him, and this trip must go."

The first sentence almost made the tent clamor again, but Nayan pressed his hand and motioned for them to listen to him finish speaking.

"Now Kublai Khan is like a giant, taller than the big trees in Liaodong, and we are as weak as my Uzhina, do you think she can beat a giant standing in mid-air?"

Naiyan's analogy silenced everyone, they clearly knew that the gap between the two was only bigger than that of a ten-year-old girl and a towering giant, and Kublai Khan was like an unattainable mountain, once pressed down, no one would be spared.

Everyone knows that the eyes of this giant are not on them at the moment, but these small actions in private are impossible to hide from the eyes and ears of those Xuanwei Si Inspectors he set up in Liaodong, and when all the external troubles are removed, will Liaodong, which is close at hand, be so calm?

In fact, Naiyan's greatest concern was not the loss of one or two reckless mountains or forests, but that if this continued, Kublai Khan would most likely take further measures, such as establishing provinces as elsewhere, and incorporating this vast land into formal administrative divisions, which would be fatal, and as far as he knew, there were rumors of this.

Naturally, the rumors will not be groundless, and the reason why Kublai Khan did not leave is also obvious, and it is not yet time, so he really wants to go to Dadu, how true will this rumor be, and the danger of this trip?

He didn't take it to heart, you must know that he is still the head of the force that supports Dadu hardcore, and Kublai Khan will attack him when he is crazy.

This is the consequence of the asymmetry of information, because of the lag of news, he didn't know what happened in the northwest, he didn't know that Haidu sent people to come, he didn't know that Saman had formulated a plan to kill two birds with one stone against them, and he didn't know that Liu Yu's actions had unintentionally planted things on him

"I'm going to take a trip, but make it clear in advance that if you get involved with the Koreans about the land, there are some places where you should back down, and you must admit the results of my talks, otherwise you will go with me."

Next, Nai Yan's words made the kings in the tent stunned, they said for a long time but they just didn't want to go on this trip, who knew that he would propose to go by himself, at this moment as the nominal patriarch of the host kings, Nai Yan's generosity convinced everyone, and they all showed him their generosity, joking, what kind of agreement can stand in front of the land and population?

But no one can say it so bluntly.

"Okay, okay, I'm about to set off, and you all go back, after I'm gone, the children and cattle and sheep in the tribe will depend on you to take care of them, and if I come back and find that even one is missing, each of you will have to pay me ten."

Send these out, Nai Yan put away the joke on his face, the messenger made it clear that he could only bring a thousand guards, this is artificially to ensure the safety of the road, under the capital, even if all the men of the whole clan are pulled, it is not enough for Kublai Khan to stuff his teeth, so he did not plan to carefully select, the usual guards are enough.

"Ava, are you leaving?"

Hearing her daughter's immature voice, Nai's face was overjoyed, and she turned around and walked over to pick her up, the ten-year-old girl already had some girlish taste, and after a while, she was going to talk about marriage.

"I'm going to the capital, and when I come back, I'll be sure to bring some fun things for my Uzhna and tell me what I want."

"Uzhna doesn't need anything, as long as my Ava returns safely."

The girl's reluctance made Naiyan's heart soften, and she put her on her broad shoulders like a child, and in the midst of her daughter's crisp laughter, she walked towards the guards she had assembled, and the black Da Yan was held on his horse by his standard-bearer, just like the land of this pine and tender basin, very solid.
