Kublai Khan snorted slightly, and said to a few Han monks with a pleasant face: "I don't know how many masters have a clue?" ”

Those monks didn't know that this was a great opportunity to be in the limelight, but they didn't dare to do it. If you make a mistake in your speech, you will face Kublai Khan's revenge in the future.

An old monk with a white beard and hair trembled and saluted leisurely: "Great Khan, the old man has spent eighty-nine years in vain, but he doesn't see what kind of demon weapon this is. However, since the senior brother in the south has used Buddhism to block Cheng Yue, a demon. As long as the Great Khan is called, the old man and others are ready to help. After speaking, he saluted respectfully. The other monks also hurriedly bowed together.

Kublai Khan held his hand weakly and said: "Masters, please get up, I have the help of all the masters, then Cheng Yue is no more than a clown jumping off the beam, what a way." Thank you in advance. ”

These monks didn't dare to say anything, and saluted again, and then helped the old monk to retreat.

After studying with these people for a long time, but still finding nothing, Kublai Khan waved his hand tiredly, and the rest of the people immediately retreated.

Kublai Khan thought about it and ordered someone to summon the left and right prime ministers Ahma and An Tong to come.

When the two received a call from Kublai Khan, they did not dare to delay, and arrived quickly on horseback.

An Tong is a figure worthy of special mention in the history of Chinese prime ministers. He ruled the Yuan Dynasty at the age of eighteen, and such a huge empire became a legend, and it can only be said that the ancients in the past and there is no one in the future. Now he is only twenty-eight years old, and he is not used to Ahma's greed and cruelty, and has repeatedly written to impeach him, but Kublai Khan ignored him, and it is said that he also planned to put him in the north to take office, so that Ahmad would take charge of the government alone.

Ahmad and An Tong walked in, and when they saw Kublai Khan's sullen expression, they knew that things were definitely not going well.

When Kublai Khan saw them coming in, he pointed to their seats and asked them to sit down.

Before the two of them could sit down, Ahma asked, "Great Khan, can't so many people see what is going on with that thing?" ”

Kublai Khan nodded helplessly and said, "It seems that you will only know what is going on if you find a way to get one." ”

An Tong said: "Great Khan, in this way, you really can't blame Boyan and Atahai, they have done their best. ”

Kublai Khan was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "I know that I can't blame them, but who will bear the responsibility for the failure?" I can't say that Cheng Yue is a demon, we can't beat him, right? ”

Ahma said: "Ali Hague was captured by Cheng Yue, and he didn't give up his life to take righteousness, but he was in cahoots with Cheng Yue, causing my army to lose its troops, and the southern expedition was also disadvantageous because of his rebellion, please order the Great Khan to punish him severely." ”

An Tong heard Ahma say this, knowing that Ahmad wanted to sacrifice Ali Hague to carry this black cauldron, and just wanted to defend Ali Hague, but he didn't know what to say, hesitated, sighed and gave up. He understood that Ali Hague was now finished. If this matter can be concluded in this way, it can be regarded as protecting Boyan and Atahai. Otherwise, they would not be able to escape such a great responsibility. Fortunately, Ali Hague is now in Cheng Yue's hands, and he will not worry about his life in a short time.

Kublai Khan saw that An Tong did not object, nodded slightly, and said in his heart that Ahmad was really capable. So he said: "Make an order, deprive Ali Hague of all official positions and titles, raid his family, and make his wife and concubine official slaves." If there are any more people who dare to surrender Cheng Yue, they will be handled accordingly. ”

Ahmad and An Tong got up to receive the order, needless to say, the fat difference of copying the house must be Ahma's.

An Tong glanced at Ahma, and Ahma also looked at him.

Ahmad sneered lightly, don't look over. An Tong sat down again with an expressionless face.

Ahmad said again: "Great Khan, the Liu Shun who surrendered before, has taken advantage of our ignorance to secretly take away his family, and the minister suggests that the families of all the generals captured this time should be taken care of, and if there is any surrender to Cheng Yue, there will be no mercy." ”

An Tong said coldly: "It's late, I received news that the families of Xie Ruji, Zhang Rongshi, Tuowen Buhua, Zheng Baode and others were almost quietly picked up, and only some unimportant family members were left at home to confuse us." ”

"What? How many of them surrendered? Dewarmed and surrendered? No way! Kublai Khan cried out in anger, and Ahma was stunned.

An Tong said: "The minister also thinks it is unlikely, so he didn't immediately show the Great Khan, but there is always a reason why these people's families suddenly disappeared, right?" There are not many such clever things in the world. ”

Kublai Khan's eyes were red with anger, and he scolded: "What am I sorry for these villains? How did you surrender to Cheng Yue's demon? Could it be that he has fallen into the demon law? ”

At this time, an inner attendant announced outside: "Qi Great Khan, Zhang Xiongfei, the secretary of the military department, personally sent the battle report." ”

Kublai Khan's face tightened, Ahmad was in charge of the six affairs, and if there was a battle report from the military department, of course, he would send Ahma first, and then Ahma would report to him. However, today, the secretary of the military department is very abnormal, and he actually knows that Ahma is here, but he personally reports the war report, which must be an urgent and important military situation. What the hell is going on?

Ahma also has a dignified face, Zhang Xiongfei has always been the person he wants to woo, but he never accepts his gifts, he has always been afraid that Zhang Xiongfei will use something to deal with him. But Zhang Xiongfei is a fair and honest person, and there must be a major reason for doing this this time, but I am afraid that something big will happen.

Zhang Xiongfei walked in with a solemn face with a battle report in his hand, and first saluted Kublai Khan. Just as he was about to speak, Kublai Khan stretched out his hand and said, "Quickly report the battle to me." ”

Zhang Xiongfei immediately handed over the battle report with both hands, and then stood on the side without saying a word.

Ahmad and An Tong watched Kublai Khan read the battle report. I saw that Kublai Khan's face became more and more ugly, until his whole face was deformed with anger. Ahmad and An Tong were shocked, they had never seen Kublai Khan's face so ugly. What the hell is going on?

Kublai Khan insisted on reading the battle report, got up from the battle, roared wildly, fell to the ground hard, and scolded: "Bastard! This Cheng Yuezhen has to kill him! Angry! Angry! An Tong, go and see if Li Ting, Liu Chen, and Liu Guojie's families are still there, even if there is one person who will be slaughtered for me! ”

An Tong and Ahma immediately went to grab the battle report on the ground, and An Tong grabbed it first. Ahma didn't care about the tension between the two, so he gathered aside to watch with An Tong.

Ahmad understood why Kublai Khan was so angry, and Ashu was captured! The total annihilation of the 25,000-strong army was caused by the surrender of three generals!

An Tong sighed, and immediately ordered to see if the families of the three generals were still there, and took the battle report and read it carefully.

At this time, even Ahmad didn't know how to persuade Kublai Khan, so he could only let Kublai Khan kick over this and break that one to vent. (Kublai Khan really was such a person)

An Tong and Ahma both understood that the defeat of this southern expedition was already a foregone conclusion, and the only way to do so now was to find a way to save some face. Fortunately, it is not for nothing, at least Sichuan, Guangdong, Yunnan, Guangxi, and Huaixi have already expanded their territory, but I don't know what the next battle situation will be, if these places cannot be defended, then this southern expedition will be a complete failure.

The two endured Kublai Khan's roaring and cursing, and it took a while for Kublai Khan to slowly stop.

Seeing that Kublai Khan had calmed down, An Tong immediately said: "Great Khan, for today's plan, you should notify all armies as soon as possible, restrain your troops, do not attack Cheng Yue and the Southern Song Dynasty, just do a good job of defense." Wait until we find a way to get Cheng Yue's weapons, otherwise the minister is worried that there will be losses. The ministers do not know the depths, and they talk nonsense, so please ask the Great Khan to adjudicate. ”

Kublai Khan glared angrily at An Tong. Ahmad secretly observed Kublai Khan's face, and saw that his face was red and white, obviously angry, but he did not show that disgusted expression towards An Tong.

The three people in the palace were silent, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

After a while, Kublai Khan's expression relaxed a little. Ahma knew that An Tong's persuasion had worked, and he also stepped forward and said: "The minister, please let the Great Khan calm his anger, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other, and not slacking off in a hundred battles." Now we know almost nothing about Cheng Yue, and it may be unforeseen if we continue to fight. Please send an agent to find out Cheng Yue's weapon, and then it's not too late to make plans. The minister saw that Cheng Yue was also very jealous of the Great Khan, as long as the Great Khan was willing to make peace, Cheng Yue would not dare to speak lightly and fight again. The Great Khan was asked to think twice. "Kneel down and bow please.

An Tong sighed secretly in his heart, this Ahmad will really grab the credit. Kublai Khan's anger was vented on him, but the credit was given to Ahma, who could only pick up people's teeth. But Kublai Khan ate Ahma, what did his loyalty get in exchange?

Kublai Khan listened to Ahma's words, and his face softened a lot. After pondering for a while, he said, "Ahma, do you think that if I am willing to make Cheng Yue the king and let him be placed alongside the Mongolian kings, is he willing to assist me?" ”

Ahma's body shook suddenly, and of course he knew what it meant. He Ahmad was so favored by Kublai Khan, it was absolutely impossible to be crowned king, let alone kings, even the king of the county could not do it. Cheng Yue beat him so badly, but Kublai Khan was willing to promise him the throne of the kings, what is going on? He couldn't help but feel deeply jealous of Qi Cheng coming more and more.

Ahma said quietly on the surface: "Great Khan, in the opinion of the ministers, Cheng Yue is now invincible, if the Great Khan wants to recruit him, he must be greatly defeated once." At that time, it will be too late to see if he has any remorse. ”

Kublai Khan nodded and sighed, "You're right, it's that I'm thinking too simply. This Cheng Yue, if he is willing to serve me, where do the kings of the north dare to use any crooked brains? Even if he is allowed to be a king, it is a matter of course. Alas, it is not known when he will be defeated. ”

Kublai Khan said to An Tong: "An Tong, I think what you said also makes sense. In this way, no one will benefit from any further fighting. You write a will, let Boyan and Cheng Yue try to negotiate peace, the bottom line is that we can't give up too much land we get, otherwise so many people won't die in vain? The negotiation process will be reported at any time, and Cheng Yue should not be allowed to take what he wants. I knew that Boyan could grasp this degree, so I handed it over to him. ”

An Tong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The minister obeys the order." But what about those who surrendered to Cheng Yue? ”

Kublai Khan was stunned for a moment and said, "Forget it, as long as he is willing to put Ah Shu back, those people and their families will not care, and the families of those soldiers are also included." Cheng Yue could only agree to this condition. Ah Shu has made countless great contributions to me, I want Ah Shu to come back well, if Cheng Yue hurts him, I have a way to clean him up. As for the Ali Hague, as long as I live, I don't care about the rest. So be it. ”

An Tong Shili retreated, and Ahma saw that Kublai Khan was in a bad mood, so he also retreated at the right time.
