Chapter 1669: The Death of Tuo Lei (Medium)

In the Battle of Hetao two years ago, Yuanmeng suffered a crushing defeat to the Qin army, not only losing nearly one million soldiers and civilians, but also breaking the backbone.

Since then, two major factions have emerged in the Yuanmeng Empire, the doves and the hawks.

The doves advocated recuperation, regaining strength, and living in peace with the Qin army.

The hawks advocate not forgetting the national shame, and waiting for the strength to recover, or encounter a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to avenge the former emperor and wash away the shame.

The doves and hawks of Yuanmeng look at each other and promote each other, and in general, they are in a relatively balanced state.

However, after the signing of the "Jinyang Treaty", Yuanmeng was invaded by the Manchus, and although the Manchus were repelled with all their national strength, they also emptied the only remaining family funds.

After that, it took up to two years of repairs.

At this point, Yuanmeng was also completely defeated, even after two years of recuperation, the national strength did not recover much, and it barely reached the level of one-half before the Battle of Hetao.

In contrast, after two years of recuperation, the Qin army not only recovered from the wounds of the Battle of Hetao, but also went further in strength.

Kublai Khan, the crown prince of Yuanmeng, witnessed the rapid development of Qin during the two years he was a hostage in Qin, and informed Longcheng of everything he saw and heard in Qin.

Of course, Qin Hao also knew about this, but he did not stop it, what he did was to use the head of Kublai Khan to beat the hawks who hated the Qin army in Yuan and Mongolia.

As Qin Hao expected, the Yuanmeng court was greatly frightened when it learned about it, after all, when Yuanmeng's national strength was at its peak, it was not the opponent of the Qin army, and now that the strength of the Qin army has become stronger, how can this wash away the national shame?

The strength and strength of the Qin army allowed the doves of Yuanmeng to defeat the hawks and live in peace with the Qin state, which became the mainstream will of the Yuanmeng court.

Most of the hawks led by Maudun were important ministers during the Temujin period, and they were influenced by Temujin's thoughts and despised the Han people from the bottom of their hearts.

Therefore, although the hawks lost to the doves this time, they were not willing to fail, so they all hibernated, waiting for a good opportunity.

Finally, 500,000 Qin troops conquered Hebei, and 450,000 troops of the Southern Han Dynasty attacked Qin in five ways, so that the hawks in Yuan and Mongolia saw the opportunity to defeat the Qin army's bloody national shame.

Grassland, Dragon City, in the main hall of the Yuanmeng Palace.

"Your Majesty, now that the main force of the 500,000 Qin army is trapped in Hebei, it is impossible to transfer it back in a short period of time, but the 450,000 army of the Southern Han Dynasty has attacked."

Mao Dun's eyes were full of excitement, and he said excitedly: "Now is the golden opportunity for my Dayuan to raise troops to the south, defeat the Qin army, and wash away the national shame." ”

The Qin army started a war with the northern and southern Han at the same time, which not only made the Yuanmeng hawks intend to move, but even the various factions were a little ready to move, but the doves were all afraid of the Qin army, not to mention that the Qin army has not fallen into decline now, even if it is really in danger, they do not have the courage to show their swords to the Qin army.

Mao Dun's words of 'misleading the country' were naturally opposed by a number of factions, but Mao Dun didn't care about it, in his eyes, the opinions of these people were not important, as long as Emperor Yuan supported him.

As the Great Yuan Emperor, of course he also wanted to defeat the Qin army to wash away the national humiliation of the defeat of the Hetao, but in his current position, there were many issues to consider.

It is impossible to drag the mine just because the Qin State is caught in a two-front battle and the defeat has not yet appeared, so he rashly goes up and steps on the Qin State.

In this case, it is good to win, but if you lose again, then after the Qin State recovers, Yuanmeng will really lose the country.

In addition, the most difficult thing for Tuo Lei to make up his mind was the son of Kublai Khan, who he regarded as the hope of Yuanmeng and was still a hostage in Luoyang.

If Yuanmeng tore up the contract, Kublai Khan would definitely be killed by the Qin army, and he was the only son of Tuolei, the next Yuanmeng Emperor, and Tuolei was naturally reluctant.

Therefore, before Kublai Khan returned to China, Tuo Lei decided not to start the war against Qin lightly.

"What Brother Wang said is reasonable, but now is a good time, but ......"

Hearing Tuo Lei say this, Mao Dun suddenly smiled, but then Tuo Lei's 'but' suddenly gave birth to some bad premonitions in his heart.

"After all, the Qin army has not been defeated, and the strength has not been lost much, in case the Northern Han can't bear it, but our army has sent troops, won't it completely offend the Qin army?"

As he spoke, a fine light flashed in Tuo Lei's eyes, and he smiled lightly: "It is not safe to send troops at this time, according to my opinion, you might as well sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight first."

The battle between the Qin army and the two Han Dynasty, if the Qin army wins, my Yuanmeng will continue to lie dormant and accumulate strength, if the Qin army is defeated, then my Yuanmeng will go up again to make up for a knife and wash away the national shame, and it is completely too late, this is the best of both worlds. ”

"This, but ......"

Mao Dun wanted to refute, but before the words could be spoken, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty said in unison: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

Seeing this scene, Mao Dun also knew that he could not do anything at this time, so he could only come down and wait for the opportunity.

Seeing this, Tuo Lei gave Murong Ke a look below, and Murong Ke immediately understood, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, in order to prevent the start of the war, the Qin army will threaten my Dayuan with the prince hostage, and the last general will propose to take the prince Kublai Khan back immediately." ”

Tuo Lei nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "What the general said is reasonable, since this is the case, Yelu Chucai, I will send you to Luoyang to explain the interests to the Luoyang court."

Let's just say that my Empress Dayuan is critically ill, let Kublai Khan return to visit the sick and fulfill his filial piety, and the Han Dynasty will govern the country with benevolence and filial piety, and he should never refuse. ”

"No." Yelu Chucai responded.

Because the Qin army was at war with the two Han Dynasty at the same time, Yuanmeng was ready to move, actively preparing for war on the one hand, and on the other hand, he wanted to take back the crown prince Kublai Khan, but the final result was beyond the expectations of everyone in Yuanmeng.

"Report ...... Your Majesty, the Qin general Li Jing was in Beihai and defeated Wang Mang's alliance of six princes. ”

"Report ...... Li Jing and Qingbei annihilated more than 150,000 enemies, and after the great victory, they have now waved their troops to Julu, and Zhao is in danger. ”

"Alas, there are so many famous and handsome people in the Qin State."

Tuo Lei sighed helplessly, he also wanted to attack Qin to wash away the national humiliation, but Yuanmeng really couldn't stand the toss, and before the defeat of the Qin army, he really didn't dare to send troops.

However, in the face of the attack of the two Han Dynasty, the Qin army not only did not fall into decline at all, but killed all sides on the battlefield in Hebei, seeing that the Northern Han was about to be defeated, which made Tuo Lei dare to send troops to attack Qin?

"Report ...... Your Majesty, Lord Yelu has returned. ”

Hearing this, Tuo Lei suddenly showed joy: "Hurry up, please." ”
