"Thank you, Great Khan." Kublai Khan smiled, although this smile was a little reluctant, he tentatively asked again: "There are few troops in Monan, I don't know how many men and horses the Great Khan can allocate to me......"

Guiyou lowered his eyelids, grabbed the grapes on the table, picked one with one hand and stuffed it into his mouth, took the whole bunch in his hand with the other hand, and handed it to Kublai Khan: "Come, taste this first, it's not easy to eat grapes this season." ”

“.…..” Kublai Khan didn't want to reach out to take it, but he couldn't help it, so he had to keep his mouth shut, thanking him and continuing at the same time.

"Eat one." You commanded him.

Kublai Khan swallowed one helplessly.

"How does it taste?" You asked.

"It's good, it tastes good." Kublai Khan replied that this was true, and that grapes were sweet and sweet, full of juice, and were the finest grapes.

Guiyu smiled, and he said, "Do you know where this grape came from?" ”

Kublai Khan was stunned for a moment, a little stunned: "I don't know." ”

"This is from the territory of Batu in the west, you know, there is plenty of sunshine, abundant products, and a large population, and it is not bad at all compared to Helin." Guiyou patted his belly and sighed: "At the beginning, our fathers and grandparents, how much effort did they expend, how many expeditions to the west, how many warriors were lost, and countless Mongolian women became widows, so much price, before the west was included in the territory of our Great Mongolia, we have to cherish it and protect it with all our strength." ”

Kublai Khan's eyes narrowed, and he seemed to understand what Guiyou was going to say.

He didn't interrupt Kiyu.

Guiyu's tone gradually became stern, and the momentum of the overlord of the grassland was also revealed in the words, and the two maids who pinched their feet gently stopped their movements and sat quietly with their heads down.

"But Batu, this animal, this lone wolf without conscience, he betrayed me, and even wanted to establish himself as the Great Khan, such a thing, Changshengtian will not forgive him!" Guiyou slapped the remaining grapes on the table, and the grapes jumped.

"So, my brother, you can only rely on yourself in the past Monan, I can't spare soldiers to give it to you, but I believe that you will be able to do everything well, just like Yelu Chucai, what he can do, why can't my capable brother do it?"

Guiyou looked at Kublai Khan, and his small eyes were full of complicated meanings.

Kublai Khan doesn't remember how he got out of the Golden Horde.

His heart was filled with anger, contempt, resentment, and grievance.

Damn, it's better than the long one! The most cunning lone wolf on the steppe is no match for Guiyu's mouth.

What can't be drawn, what believes in your ability, what Yelu Chucai can do, you can do it!

It's all a liar!

If you don't give soldiers, don't you just don't worry about towing mines?

People who believe in your abilities, in other words, who don't believe in you.

Of course, Yelu Chucai can do it, in order to support him, Wokotai killed twelve Mongolian nobles, stationed 100,000 troops in Chang'an, and shocked Monan, who dared not listen to Yelu Chucai?

Why don't you say these expensive reasons?

Bah!

Kublai Khan turned his head, glanced at Wan'an Palace, and spat on his saliva.

Such a great khan, so unhearted, it is inevitable that he will not approve of him, and if there are soldiers in the tow mine, he will not obey him.

Kublai Khan stepped on his horse outside the palace gate, led the guards waiting outside the gate, and drove away.

The horses walked slowly on the crowded and narrow streets of Helin, the streets were full of people, the roadsides were full of vehicles and horses, the stacked goods were stacked in a mountain at the door of the shops on both sides, there were things in all directions, there were many restaurants and restaurants, and there were even a few southern Song women leaning on the threshold of a fireworks building and smiling at people.

There was a lot of noise in his ears, but Kublai Khan turned a deaf ear, and let his subordinates lead the horses and walk slowly.

He had something on his mind.

remembered the scene when I saw Yelu Chucai last night.

Yelu Chucai is no longer good, this matter does not need to be concluded by the medical officer, it can be seen by everyone.

This Zhongshu Ling of the Great Mongolian Kingdom was lying on the bed, his breath was thin and pale, he had no breath in and out, and it was already a miracle that he could speak.

After all, this meritorious minister of the Great Mongolian State who has gone through three Great Khans is already fifty-four years old, which is considered a long life in this era.

If he is in a good mood, he may live for a few more years.

However, he was unfortunate and encountered the same problem as Meng Heng--- his emperor did not appreciate him.

A generation of powerful ministers, without the emperor's approval, the end is generally miserable, and those who have offended before will take the opportunity to fall into the well, and take advantage of your illness to kill you, it is the same process, Meng Hui became depressed because of this, and Yelu Chucai is also like this.

His melancholy was even deeper than Meng Hui's, because he was worried that the Han land he had worked so hard to run would be abandoned for a while.

With such a big land and so many people, if you say you want to lose it, if you don't want it, you don't want it, and no one will have blood in their hearts.

Yelu Chucai said to Guiyou countless times, saying that the preciousness of the Han land, this Guiyou Khan, who regarded the pasture as much more important than the field, but plucked out his ears and said impatiently: "Just drive the Han people away, or kill them, push down their cities, and push the fields away, and make them pastures, so you don't need to spend troops to guard and manage them, how good." ”

This sentence made Yelu Chucai so angry that he vomited several bowls of blood.

So he was so depressed that he was dying of melancholy, the huge Mongolia, the fierce generals were like clouds, but none of the nobles had such a vision and were willing to support his plan to continue to run the Han land in Monan, and none of them did.

Until last night Kublai Khan came to the door.

Yelu Chucai almost returned to the light, and used all his strength to talk with Kublai Khan for an hour.

After hearing that the family in Yelu's mansion said that Yelu Chucai slept peacefully that night, and he explained all the aftermath.

His words, Kublai Khan's words are still in my ears.

"Win the world immediately, you can't rule the world right away."

"I am a Khitan, but since I was a child, I learned the way of Confucius and Mencius of the southerners, this kind of scholarship is a good way to govern the country, the southerners respect the scholars, we should also do this, only in this way, can we regain the hearts of the people, and it will last for a long time."

"The wealth of the south is several times that of the west, and the only thing that can be obtained from grazing is cattle and mutton. And the various management methods in the south are many times stronger than grazing. ”

"When the country is rich, the army is strong, and only when the country is rich can it raise a strong army. Looting alone will not work. What if we conquer the earth and rob it all? ”

"Therefore, the south is fundamental, if Your Highness wants to achieve something, the south must be indispensable."

When Yelu Chu said this, the thin hands grabbed Kublai Khan's arm violently, startling him, a dying man had so much strength.

"Your Royal Highness! You believe me, Temujin and Ogedeai believe me, and I gave them endless money and food support, and the convoy from Bianliang to the west has been connected into a line. You believe me, and you can't go wrong! ”

Yelu Chu almost shouted this sentence.

Words are like golden stones, impacting Kublai Khan's brain and opening up a piece of heaven and earth.

He comforted Yelu Chucai: "I know, I believe, Lord Yelu, I came here to ask you for advice, how to be like you, please teach me." ”

Yelu Chucai blinked, and in his cloudy eyes, the essence flickered.

Zhongshu Ling also had this kind of look when he stated the pros and cons in front of Genghis Khan and Ogedai Khan and spoke generously.

A night of talking, accompanied by candles.

I closed my eyes and opened them again, the noon sun shining on the top of Kublai Khan's head, a hot and stinging pain.

The unique hustle and bustle of the market in his ears suddenly rushed into his eardrums.

Kublai Khan exhaled and looked up to see that his palace had arrived.

At the door, a group of Hanchen was waiting, Dou Mo, Monk Zicong, Zhao Bi, Wang E, Zhang Dehui, Yuan Haowen and others gathered together, standing on the steps and waiting for him to come back.

Seeing them, Kublai Khan suddenly smiled.

Hehe, Gui You Khan, if you don't give me soldiers, it doesn't matter, I have my own people, relying on these Han people you look down on, I can also fight a piece of the world.

Badu is not so easy to deal with, Guiyou Khan fights with him, it is difficult to say what the result of the fight will be, when the time comes, I will return to the political arena of the Great Mongolia sooner or later, and take back everything that the Tuo Lei family has lost.
