After sending Zhang Wenqian as an envoy to Sichuan, Kublai Khan felt a lot more relieved, and the strategies used had already been used, Brother Mo once went to Sichuan as an envoy, but encountered Wu Shaogang's countercalculations, Kublai Khan under anger, alienated Brother Mo who was not able to complete the mission well, and specially sent an envoy to the capital of the Great Song Dynasty to drive a wedge between Wu Shaogang and the Great Song Dynasty.

Kublai Khan has given up the plan to attack Sichuan, the cost of the battle of Xiangyang, greatly exceeded Kublai Khan's expectations, more than 100,000 troops are like a bottomless pit, absorbing the money and grain of the imperial court, if it were not for the right prime minister Ahma tried his best to raise grain and grass, the imperial court is really difficult to maintain.

Fighting on two fronts is definitely not possible, what makes Kublai Khan even more headache is that the situation in Mobei has also undergone major changes, Haidu and Bala and others finally united, together with the leaders of some other Mongolian tribes, held an alliance meeting in Mobei, openly condemned the measures of the sinicization of the imperial court, and proposed to maintain the nomadic customs of the Mongols, and Tachar, who was stationed in Mobei, did not dare to attack at will because the other party's power was too strong.

The changes in the situation in Mobei, Kublai Khan kept it strictly secret, and did not disclose the matter in the court, and the people who knew about it were the Mongolian prince, the Mongolian marshal and the head of ten thousand households.

The situation on all sides has changed, Kublai Khan understood that the city of Xiangyang must be taken as soon as possible, and time cannot continue to delay, otherwise major changes will occur in Sichuan and Mobei, which will definitely involve the energy of the imperial court.

During this period, Kublai Khan has been waiting for Zhang Wenqian's report, but with the retirement of time, there is no feedback to Dadu, which makes Kublai Khan suspicious, is it possible that Zhang Wenqian was also directly detained by Sichuan.

Soon, a piece of news made Kublai Khan furious again, Zhang Wenqian's family disappeared, and after Zhang Wenqian's mission to Sichuan for more than a month, his family in Dadu, as well as his family in his hometown, were all gone.

By this time, what exactly had happened, Kublai Khan had already understood.

Kublai Khan did not speak out and did not blame anyone, he began to reflect.

Hao Jing, Zhang Wenqian, Liu Bingzhong, Dou Mo, Xu Heng and others, all went to Sichuan, all returned to the Song Dynasty, among these people, there were people who Kublai Khan trusted incomparably, why did such a situation occur, could it be that the Han ministers in the court would go to Wu Shaogang in Sichuan.

After thinking about it, Kublai Khan found that he had already begun to reject the Han people, and from the time of Wang Wentong's incident, he did not trust the Han ministers in the court very much, which led those Han ministers to start looking for other ways out.

In Kublai Khan's view, the most important people are still brave generals who can kill the enemy on the battlefield, and these people are the foundation of the Mongol court.

The alliance between Mobeihai and Ba Ra and others is talking about one thing, the sinicization of the Mongols.

Kublai Khan thought that he had done nothing wrong, the policy he pursued, it was not a problem of sinicization, but a problem of making the Mongolian court more powerful, no matter what the policy, as long as it was good, it must be absorbed, and there would be no result if the Mongolian court was only in charge of the steppe, but now it is different, it has occupied the Central Plains, if it is still managed according to the previous methods, it will definitely trigger a wave of large-scale resistance, so that the Mongolian court is not at peace.

The idea of rejecting the Han people, Kublai Khan could not completely eliminate it, he identified the Mongols as the most noble people, and the Han people as the most lowly people, which is the embodiment of his inner thoughts, but the wisdom and strategy of the Han people are what Kublai Khan needs, and he must use the Han people to make the Mongolian court continue to be strong.

The Mongol army suffered several defeats in Sichuan, and Kublai Khan believed that there were other reasons, such as the fact that the imperial court did not concentrate its main forces on attacking Sichuan, such as the rebellion of Abuligo and others, which disturbed the main energy of the imperial court, etc., that is, Kublai Khan did not take the Wu Shaogang in Sichuan in his eyes at all.

But now the situation is different, the Song army stationed in Sichuan is gradually stronger, the Yunchuan Festival of the Great Song Dynasty made Wu Shaogang take the method of knocking kraft candy, first occupied Chengdu Fucheng, Lizhou West Road and Yunnan and other places, and then occupied Jingzhaofu Road, Lintao Road, Qingyuan Road and Fengxiang Road and other places, and it is likely to attack Henan Road next, or even capture Kaifeng Fucheng, really at that time, the Mongolian court needs to deal with, not only the Great Song court.

After learning from the pain, Kublai Khan made up his mind and ordered Hedan to capture the city of Xiangyang as quickly as possible, and then stop the attack on the south and turn the main direction of attack to Sichuan.

It was precisely because of the change in Kublai Khan's thinking that in the first month, Hedan led the army to launch a fierce attack on Xiangyang Fucheng, and at the same time tried his best to resist the Song Dynasty's aid to Xiangyang Fucheng.

Kublai Khan also had the idea of sending the Song army in Sichuan to the aid of the Song army through a fierce attack on the city of Xiangyang, and if that happened, the imperial court would send more troops to completely defeat the Song army stationed in Sichuan.

It is a pity that Kublai Khan never thought of treating the Han ministers in the court well, after Zhang Wenqian's accident appeared, Kublai Khan was more repulsive and wary of the Han ministers in the court, and even for the Jurchens and Khitans, Kublai Khan also thought that it was stronger than the Han ministers in the court.

Brother Mo's depression, of course Kublai Khan noticed it, this was his intention, Brother Mo's power is too great, his prestige in the court is too high, and he has suppressed other Mongolian princes, this is not a situation that Kublai Khan wants to see, so he wants to warn Brother Mo, but Kublai Khan knows that Brother Mo's ability is very good, and he has been loyal from beginning to end, so Brother Mo still has to use it, so that Kublai Khan will have more time to think about big things.

The Royal Palace, the Great Hall.

Many Mongolian princes, heads of ten thousand households, and marshals are here, as well as a small number of Semu people.

These people are all the powerful people in the Mongol court, and they are also the people on whom Kublai Khan now depends.

Looking at the crowd, Kublai Khan slowly spoke.

"The army has besieged Xiangyang Mansion for three years, and the strategy determined by the imperial court before was to besiege Xiangyang Mansion City, focus on attacking and exterminating the Song army that rushed to Xiangyang Mansion City, exterminate its living forces, and capture Xiangyang Mansion City at the right time, but now the situation has changed a little, I won't say much about the Mobei side, you all know, the Sichuan side is not very stable, I thought, the court may not have so much time to delay."

"I have ordered the Hedan brothers to strengthen their attack on Xiangyang Mansion City, and be sure to take Xiangyang Mansion City before the end of next year and completely open the door to the Great Song Dynasty."

"Once the army captures the city of Xiangyang, the strategic direction of the imperial court will turn to Sichuan, and the imperial court will not be able to let that Wu Shaogang in Sichuan become strong and become a confidant.

"Brother Mo, you are directly responsible for the affairs of Sichuan, prepare well within the year, and you will need to be stationed in Kaifeng Mansion next year."

There was a commotion in the crowd.

Everyone knows that Brother Mo has been rejected by the emperor and has been deprived of a lot of power, but how long has it been, the situation has changed abruptly, you must know that attacking Sichuan is the strategic deployment of the imperial court, and Brother Mo can actually represent the emperor and directly command the attack on Sichuan, which means that even if He Dan and others become the commander of the army, they must obey the overall arrangement and deployment of Brother Mo's campaign.

Brother Mo walked out of the column and clenched his hands into fists.

"Your Majesty, it is difficult for a minister to take on such a heavy responsibility. . . ."

"I have already decided, Brother Mo, you don't have to refuse, from today onwards, all reports involving Xiangyang and Sichuan, the Privy Council will present Brother Mo, this is a decision made by me."

Kublai Khan was categorical and did not hesitate at all, which is also in line with his character.

Brother Mo retreated silently, not looking at the envious eyes of everyone.

"Ahma, the matter of raising grain and grass must be intensified, the next expedition of the imperial court is a lot, a large amount of grain and grass is needed, you have been doing a very good job, I am very pleased, I hope you can raise 200,000 troops before August for a year's grain and grass, so that I can have no worries, and the army can also have no worries."

Over the years, Ahma has gained a high degree of trust from the emperor, and its status even surpasses that of some Mongols, and is second only to many Mongolian princes.

Ahmad has not yet come out of the shock, just now the emperor announced the great importance and trust of Prince Mogo, which made Ahma regret it very much, he used to respect Moge very much, but as the emperor squeezed out and suppressed Moge, he also alienated the relationship with Mogo, and even impeached Moge in front of the emperor.

This incident gave Brother Mo a clear reminder, or a heavy lesson, or don't get carried away, for many Mongolian princes, we must respect, no matter what the status of the family, whether they have been excluded, speaking of which, after all, these princes are the emperor's brothers, and even elders, and the blood in their bones is the same.

At the end of the discussion, Brother Mo slowly walked out of the main hall.

Ahmad trotted over from behind, whispering to Mogo and saying goodbye to him, and at the same time opening his mouth to report the matter.

"Brother Mo, the lower officials must do their best to raise grain and grass, how much grain and grass is needed in Sichuan, the lower officials will obey the orders of the prince."

Brother Mo looked at Ahma and nodded slightly.

"Well, in two months at most, I'll tell you everything you need to prepare." (To be continued.) )
