However, the blows also followed, the Great Song Yunchuan Festival made Wu Shaogang suddenly launched a strong attack on the Kaifeng Mansion, just when Kublai Khan sent reinforcements to help, thinking that he could hold the Kaifeng Mansion, the news of Boyan's suicide and the fall of the Kaifeng Mansion City spread to the capital and the imperial court.
This news caused an uproar in the DPRK and China, and also caused the ecstatic Kublai Khan to suffer a heavy blow.
Kaifeng Mansion is the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, Wu Shaogang led the Song army in Sichuan to recover the Kaifeng Mansion City, what it means, Kublai Khan is very clear, not that the Great Song Dynasty has the hope of rising since then, but Wu Shaogang has become the best candidate to compete with him Kublai Khan for the world.
Although the Battle of Xiangyang won a huge victory, the hidden dangers of the Great Yuan court still existed, which Kublai Khan knew very well and saw very clearly.
The sea capital of Mobei is ready to move, and even has the support of Hulegu, which makes Kublai Khan have a major sense of crisis, after all, it is still many Mongolian tribes that support the Great Yuan court, and the sharp weapon Mongolian iron horse in Kublai Khan's hands comes from these tribes.
Kublai Khan relied on strong strength to rule the Great Yuan Dynasty, while constantly enhancing the strength of the Great Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan absorbed a lot of Han culture, which caused the dissatisfaction of many Mongolian tribal leaders, although Kublai Khan later alienated the Han ministers, and controlled the court and local power with the Mongols and Semu people, but some short-sighted Mongolian magnates still seem to want to completely restore the habits of the Mongolian tribes.
This is obviously impossible, and the policies and rules of the Mongolian tribes cannot govern the world at all.
Kublai Khan sent an envoy to visit Hülegü, and through the efforts of the envoy, Hulegu was basically stabilized, but Haidu, who had become the leader of the Mobei Alliance, had the intention of rebelling again.
As a last resort, Kublai Khan sent Tachar to lead the army to Mobei again, and stood up jointly with the Wuliang Hetai stationed in Mobei, paying attention to the situation in Mobei at any time, and once there were signs of raising troops in the sea, he would strike hard.
Xiangyang and the Lianghuai region involved a lot of troops of the Mongolian army, and the Mobei side also strengthened the deployment of troops, relatively speaking, it is impossible to deploy too many troops in the Central Plains.
But Wu Shaogang seized this opportunity and began to act in the Central Plains.
Kublai Khan analyzed the situation in the Central Plains many times, Jingzhaofu Road, Lintao Road, Qingyuan Road, Fengxiang Road, Yanyan Road and Henan Road, etc., after being occupied by Wu Shaogang, the Central Plains was not very stable, and now Wu Shaogang occupied Kaifeng Mansion again, resulting in Shandong, Hebei, Hedong and Daming in the Central Plains, all suffering from a huge threat.
Wu Shaogang's strength should not be underestimated, and the territory he occupies is already very large.
What worries Kublai Khan even more is that if Wu Shaogang leads his troops to advance south, the Jingnan Road will also be threatened.
When Wang E entered the palace this time, he was carried by a warm sedan chair.
Wang E's body is obviously not good, but the emperor summons him, he still has to work hard to support it, if there is no major event, the emperor will not summon him.
Wang E was supported by the guards and entered the warm pavilion.
Kublai Khan was waiting in the warm pavilion, and when he saw Wang E, whose breath was not very good, he opened his mouth with concern.
"Wang Hanlin, pay more attention to your body, as you get older, don't try to do some things."
Kublai Khan stopped Wang E, who was about to salute, and ordered the guards to help Wang E sit down.
"Wang Hanlin, I have already sent you documents for recent matters, I think you are all clear, I want to hear your opinions."
"I don't know what the emperor is worried about."
"Wu Shaogang in Sichuan, Haidu in Mobei, and the Great Song Dynasty, how should I deal with it."
Kublai Khan was also refreshing, and directly raised the question, which was simple and clear, and Wang E, who had read the documents, should understand.
Wang E thought for a moment and spoke slowly.
"Your Majesty, the old minister has been away from the court for many years, and he rarely cares about the affairs of the court...
"The authorities are obsessed with bystanders, don't scholars of Su University have poems, they don't know the true face of Lushan, just because they are in this mountain, what does Wang Hanlin think, although he says it, I will not blame."
Wang E touched his chest, was silent for a while, and spoke again.
"According to the old minister's opinion, the imperial court should seize the opportunity to occupy the entire south and destroy the Great Song Dynasty.
"The old minister's reasons are as follows, first, if the imperial army conquers Wu Shaogang or Haidu, it may not be able to achieve a complete victory, and it involves a lot of energy, so that the emperor and the court can not go all out to solve the war in the south, second, the Great Song Dynasty must have been chaotic, this is the best opportunity, must not be missed, there may not be such an opportunity in the future, Lu Wende and Lu Wenhuan are both fierce generals of the Great Song Dynasty, familiar with everything in the Great Song Dynasty, if Prince Hedan can win their support, there is a targeted use of troops, We will definitely be able to do more with less and take the south. ”
"The emperor destroyed the Great Song Dynasty, the strength will grow rapidly, the wealth of the south is enough to support the next expenses, and the strength of my Great Yuan Imperial Court will also be strengthened, and it will be much easier to exterminate Wu Shaogang and the Song soldiers in Sichuan at that time."
。。。
After Wang E finished speaking, Kublai Khan quickly spoke.
"If Wu Shaogang continues to launch an offensive in the Central Plains, how should I respond?"
"The old minister thinks that he should still send an envoy to negotiate with Wu Shaogang, and even recognize the place that Wu Shaogang has occupied, divide the scope of his rule with him, and at the same time send part of the troops to defend the city in the Central Plains, as for how this negotiation should be said, it is not something that the old minister can think of."
Kublai Khan sighed softly.
Wang E's suggestion was undoubtedly correct, but Kublai Khan was not satisfied, he already understood that Wu Shaogang would not stop, and would definitely continue to attack, taking advantage of this time to occupy more places.
"Wang Hanlin, I still have a question, Wu Shaogang has already occupied Kaifeng Fucheng, if he launches an attack next, what direction will he choose."
As soon as Kublai Khan finished speaking, Wang E spoke.
"Wu Shaogang will not attack Shandong, this will cut off the connection between the Dayuan court and the south, and it will definitely trigger our army to pour out and fight a decisive battle with it, the old minister thinks that Wu Shaogang will not attack Jingnan Road and other places, to avoid a decisive battle with the army led by Prince Hedan, Wu Shaogang is most likely to attack the place is Hedong Road, Hebei Road and the Daimyo's Mansion and other places."
Wang E replied very simply, and seemed to realize that Wu Shaogang would not stop there.
After a long silence, Kublai Khan spoke.
"Wang Hanlin's meaning, I understand, as long as Wu Shaogang does not launch an attack on Shandong and Jingnan Road and other places, I can ignore it for the time being, attack the south with all my might, and destroy the Great Song Dynasty, as for the Haidu of Mobei, I don't see much ambition, at most I want to control the grassland of Mobei, for the sake of the general trend of the world, I can endure it for the time being, and it will pass."
Wang E stood up tremblingly and saluted.
"The emperor is wise, in fact, he has thought of everything a long time ago, and it is all the old ministers who talk too much."
Kublai Khan also stood up, walked to Wang E's side, and supported Wang E.
"Wang Hanlin, don't say that, your suggestion is very important to my reminder, the places occupied by Wu Shaogang are basically barren land, and I didn't pay special attention to these places before, I remember that back then, many people in these places chose to move south, and the local government has been complaining for several years, and now, Wu Shaogang occupies these places, and it may not be able to govern them well. . . ."
Before Kublai Khan finished speaking, Wang E understood that his suggestion should have been adopted.
Kublai Khan decided to send his brother to Sichuan for the third time.
Not long ago, Prince Moge went to Sichuan on behalf of the imperial court to negotiate with Wu Shaogang, but it was only a long time, the court paid money and food, but in exchange for Wu Shaogang's troops to occupy Kaifeng Fucheng, Boyan who was stationed in Kaifeng Fucheng was killed, you must know that the emperor's favorite Mongolian young people are two, Boyan and Ashu.
However, Kublai Khan understood that this matter, no fault for Brother Mo, Wu Shaogang is not an ordinary person, he will never be bound by a unanimous agreement, and it is a matter of time before he attacks Kaifeng Fucheng, this time Wu Shaogang seized the opportunity, and when Kublai Khan and the Dayuan court could not be distracted, he suddenly sent troops to occupy Kaifeng Fucheng, which was a very good plan.
Regardless of whether Wu Shaogang could be stabilized or not, he had to send envoys to negotiate, so that at least he could delay the pace of Wu Shaogang's offensive and allow Kublai Khan to concentrate on destroying the Great Song Dynasty.
Brother Mo, who returned to Dadu, was basically in the mansion, rarely in contact with the outside world, it can be said that he was a closed door, and he may have expected a lot of things, after Wu Shaogang occupied Kaifeng Mansion and the news of Boyan's death reached Dadu, Brother Mo was even more invisible.
When Feng Zhao entered the palace, there was no expression on Brother Mo's face, and when Brother Mo left the palace, he lowered his head and quickly entered the sedan chair, so that the others did not know what to do.
Just when Brother Mo left the palace, the two holy decrees were quickly sent to Xiangyang and Lianghuai. (To be continued.) )
