Chapter 359: Cheap Wooing
Liu Heima hurriedly stood up and arched his hand at Kublai Khan: "Your Highness, I didn't mean that......"
Before he could finish speaking, Kublai Khan cut a piece of meat on the plate in front of him with a knife, handed it to him, and said with a smile: "It is a good thing for the general to fight for merit!" Is it the style of those who have achieved great things? Where did I come from for so many fierce generals in my Great Mongolian State for so many years? It's all by fighting for me on the battlefield, you want land, people, and money, you can do it, give it to me! Go get it! I'll give it to you when you hit it! Whoever is defeated will get more, and no one should be unconvinced. ”
He smiled, and continued to cut the meat with a knife, and no one on the seat shared a piece, so that the Han family and thousands of households got up to thank them, flattered.
"But Hanzhong is different, he was originally Liu Heima's, and he was occupied by the Song people's conspiracy and trickery, before I fought this battle, I had a word with each of you in advance, Hanzhong fought back, and I wanted to return it to Liu Heima. However, you must not be reluctant to pay attention because of this, you must know that I am not looking at a war and a battle, if you promise to gain benefits, you will rush forward, and those who have no benefits will shrink and entrench, then won't it be chaotic? ”
"Therefore, after a few days, we will clear the remnants of the nearby Nanren, and then force Junzhou, surround Fan Yongji, grab this chaotic knife and hack it to death, and then go up the Han River, gallop seven hundred miles from the place that the Song people did not expect, and appear under the city of Hanzhong unknowingly, and then wait to take Hanzhong City in one fell swoop, then this big battle will be over."
Kublai Khan kept the last piece of meat for himself, the lamb was very fat, chewed in the mouth and squeaked, oil and water flowed along the corners of the mouth, but he didn't care, laughed loudly while eating: "When Hanzhong is in hand, it can be regarded as a complete merit, everyone, then you can get a new fief safely, rich and glorious, infinitely wonderful!" ”
The families laughed loudly along with him, and the whole tent was filled with the strange sound of teeth chewing on pieces of meat and laughing loudly.
Liu Heima was satisfied and chewed slowly, this piece of meat was given by Kublai Khan, and it had to be tasted well.
To tell the truth, Liu Heima has followed the Mongols since the reign of the Great Khan of Ogedei, and has seen many Mongolian generals before and after, and has also fought a lot of battles together, and has a good understanding of the Mongols' style and war methods.
Because of this, he will follow the Mongolian country with all his heart, because the more he understands the Mongols, the more frightened he becomes.
Those people are not people, they are a group of natural warriors who ride on horses all the time, they have been fighting for as long as they can remember, they have been fighting all their lives, and fighting has become instinct, which runs through their flesh and blood, and lingers.
Liu Heima couldn't imagine what kind of opponent could make them stop conquering.
They are a gust of wind, with blades, blowing all over the world, and touching them is the end of broken bones.
They are a rain, falling with guns and axes, smashing heads and faces, and next to each other is the end of the destruction of people and gods.
Liu Heima thinks that he is not a timid person, and he will not even blink when he kills blood, but in front of the Mongols, he is as docile as a sheep and will not even pout his hooves.
He had recognized from the deepest part of his heart that these people were invincible.
And Kublai Khan's generosity and wisdom made him even more surrendered and fascinated.
Think about it, with a mere ethereal verbal promise, in exchange for the 80,000 households in the Han region to attack with all their might, on the long front from Lianghuai to Sichuan, launched a monstrous war, this surging bearing, is unmatched.
And this is just the beginning, the beginning of a big game of chess.
Kublai Khan calculated correctly, the Song court would panic, this war would not last long, it would end with the Song State's request for peace, and this was exactly what Kublai Khan wanted to see, he didn't want to fight a big war that destroyed the Song State.
He wasn't ready.
In the interval between war and peace, Fan Yongji in Henan will be easily defeated, and Henan's territory will become a resource for Kublai Khan to fulfill his promises, and it will be distributed to thousands of households, and it will not cost Kublai Khan a penny.
With the soldiers of 10,000 households, the land of Fan Yongji was laid down, and it was distributed to 10,000 households.
This kind of abacus, as the saying goes, is to use your bones and boil your oil.
No matter how you look at Kublai Khan, he is the one who has gained the most benefits.
Ten thousand households will thank him, and the hearts of the people of the Han land in Monan will be attached to him after this war.
Liu Heima saw it very clearly, as a person with a lively mind and extremely intelligent, he had figured out Kublai Khan's calculation a long time ago, but he still felt convinced.
Because Kublai Khan's ultimate goal was Hanzhong.
If you can't get past the Qinling Mountains, then you can't go over.
Just find another way, a road that can't be blocked.
Liu Heima still remembers that on the first day Kublai Khan came to Jingzhao Mansion, when he was alone with Liu Heima, he patted him on the shoulder and told him affectionately that in the future, when he was developed, Liu Heima would be the prime minister of Handi.
What is the Prime Minister of Handi? It is equivalent to the position of Yelu Chucai.
At that moment, Liu Heima's blood all over his body froze, this is being the emperor.
Every time he recalls this sentence, Liu Heima can't help but feel hot all over his body, and his heart is burning like fire.
His Royal Highness is the best for me, and he wants to take Hanzhong and give it back to me, which is proof.
Liu Heima secretly made up his mind to follow Kublai Khan in the future. This Kublai Khan is a great figure who is different from other Mongols, the Mongols are fierce and cunning, but they generally do not understand Chinese, do not know how to sinicize, and treat Han people simply and rudely, like a wild man outside the square.
Kublai Khan is different, he speaks like rain and dew, knows how to respect, knows equality, and can even often come up with one or two poems and good sentences that even Liu Heima has never heard of.
There is also his big picture, it can be seen from the layout of this war, he has great wisdom, mobilizing thousands of troops and horses for my use, pointing to the east and west to guide the north, and stirring the world around, everyone is a chess piece, only Kublai Khan, sitting steadily in the tent, smiling and watching many heroes dance between his fingers.
Such a person may not be able to get the Khan position in the future.
The atmosphere in the big tent is getting more and more enthusiastic, and the thousands of households in the Han region frequently push the cups and change the lamps, and talk about the wine, they all have such and such contradictions in private, but Kublai Khan sits here, no one dares to mess around, and the unity is as warm as brothers.
This is the wrist, Liu Heima was convinced again.
Even Yelu Chucai didn't get such an evaluation from him, but Kublai Khan, who had only been here for a long time, did.
The Mongol prince sat on the throne, enjoying the sycophants and flattery of the Han land tyrants, burping and drinking wine.
The wine and meat are in his stomach, but his eyes are always clear.
Looking at the thousands of households around him who were getting bigger and uglier as they were drinking, he smiled happily.
He played with the knife in his hand, which was silver, stained with oil, and shiny against the light.
Kublai Khan looked at the knife, didn't know what to think, shook his head and smiled to himself, cut another piece of meat, and handed it to the people around him kindly.
The man wept with gratitude, almost crying.
