When walking towards the main hall, Zhang Wenqian saw many Mongolian princes, ten thousand household chiefs, marshals and others, when they approached the main hall, the surroundings were heavily guarded, and the palace guards had no expression on their faces, vigilantly looking at everything around them.

The early dynasty has ended, and it is said that Zhang Wenqian has nothing to do, but he has not yet reached Zhongshu Province, so he received a notice and immediately rushed to the main hall, and the emperor has something to discuss.

Speaking of familiarity, it is because he has often encountered such matters before, and when the emperor discusses major matters, it will always be like this, and it is said that it is strange, because Zhang Wenqian has not been like this for a long time.

Until entering the main hall, Zhang Wenqian still thought that it was impossible to discuss any major matters, after all, the Han ministers in the court were excluded, and it was almost impossible to contact the core matters of the court.

There are not many people in the main hall, and the Han ministers are only Zhang Wenqian and Shi Tianze.

All the Mongol princes, the heads of ten thousand households, and the marshals of the capital in Dadu came, as well as many officials of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War.

Zhang Wenqian was a little surprised, and by his feelings, he thought that the matter that was about to be discussed was definitely not a trivial matter.

However, his inner feelings made Zhang Wenqian not believe in his own judgment, if it was to discuss major matters, the Han ministers were not qualified to participate, and some particularly confidential matters, even the people of Semu were not necessarily qualified to participate.

When Kublai Khan entered the main hall, Moge led the crowd to salute.

Since Kublai Khan ascended the throne and became the emperor, many etiquettes have also begun to be paid attention to, speaking of which is Liu Bingzhong's suggestion, thinking that the emperor should have the majesty of the emperor.

Zhang Wenqian stood in the back and saluted with everyone.

"Today I have summoned you to discuss the attack on the Great Song Dynasty, and I hope that you will say everything that comes to mind."

Although he is already the emperor, Kublai Khan still speaks very crisply, without dragging his feet, which is inseparable from his fierce style formed by fighting on the battlefield for a long time.

After Kublai Khan finished speaking, he looked at Brother Mo.

Brother Mo stood up and spoke to everyone.

"The emperor is determined to destroy the Great Song Dynasty and dominate the world, my Mongolian army is invincible, like an eagle in the sky, soaring between the heavens and the earth, invincible, the emperor has made up his mind, we must strive to pick the most dazzling stars in the sky, dedicated to the emperor, dedicated to the court...

Zhang Wenqian lowered his head, his body trembled slightly, but he stood behind, no one saw it, let alone noticed.

"How to attack and destroy the Great Song Dynasty, the emperor has a far-sighted view and chooses to attack from Xiangyang, and today is to summon us and others to come to discuss and see what pros and cons there are in this choice...

At this time, Zhang Wenqian had already raised his head slightly, and he was relieved in his heart.

The emperor has absolute self-confidence, and he has long been ready to destroy the Great Song Dynasty and unify the world, but now that Abuligo has died of illness, the time is completely ripe, and the emperor is afraid that he will take full action.

As for summoning everyone to come to discuss, it is not actually a matter of discussion, but through such an attitude and momentum, it shows the determination of the emperor and the courage of the Mongol army.

This is a typical practice to encourage morale.

There are still a lot of taboos in the Mongolian army, especially believing in the power of God, the Mongolian army fights, after the victory, it is the favor of God, and after the defeat, it is also because of the disrespect to God and the punishment of God.

No one would ever say that the Mongol army was not brave enough to defeat the other side.

It is very good to have such self-confidence, but it can not be excessive, if all the failures are blamed on God, it is not to say that there are no defects and problems in itself, but unfortunately, for decades, the courage of the Mongolian iron horse, the world knows, especially when the Northern Expedition, has achieved many major victories, so that its self-confidence is highly inflated, if it were not for Abuligo and other rebellions, the Mongolian court would have raised troops to destroy the Song Dynasty.

Zhang Wenqian listened very carefully to what Brother Mo said next, and it should be said that the focus is later.

Brother Mo listed three strategic objectives for attacking the Great Song Dynasty, one was Sichuan, the second was Xiangyang, and the third was Lianghuai, and the emperor finally chose to attack from Xiangyang, abandoning the traditional strategic deployment of attacking from Sichuan.

Brother Mo's explanation is also very interesting, comparing Xiangyang to the gateway of the Great Song Dynasty, once the gate of Xiangyang is opened, the Great Song Dynasty has no support, and many places such as Lianghuai, the capital and the south can be easily taken.

Brother Mo also made it clear that if you want to capture Xiangyang, it must be very difficult, because the status of Xiangyang is too important, and the Song Dynasty has placed heavy troops here, and once the Mongol army begins to attack Xiangyang, the Song army will desperately defend it.

Before Brother Mo finished speaking, Zhang Wenqian made a judgment.

It is impossible to change the decision of the Mongol army to attack from Xiangyang, and the emperor just wants to hear if there is a good suggestion to attack Xiangyang Fucheng.

The city of Xiangyang is surrounded by water on three sides, once the attack begins, the Mongol army must face the sailors of the Great Song Dynasty, but fortunately, the combat effectiveness of the sailors in the new annex army is also good, and they can compete with the sailors of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhang Wenqian's heart swelled with admiration, the emperor was indeed powerful, and he gave up the old routine of attacking from Sichuan, but chose to attack from Xiangyang Fucheng.

In fact, a few years ago, Zhang Wenqian, Liu Bingzhong and others talked about this matter, they agreed that it is not a good choice to attack from Sichuan, the terrain of Sichuan is very complicated, many places are high and dense, the road conditions are not very good, and the absolute main force of the Song army is not in Sichuan, even if the Mongolian army takes Sichuan, there are still many fierce battles behind.

At that time, Shi Tianze thought that choosing to attack from Xiangyang was the best plan.

However, Zhang Wenqian and others are just talking, they know very well that attacking from Sichuan is the strategy of the imperial court, which is conducive to the display of Mongolian iron cavalry on the one hand, and can also show the courage of the Mongolian army on the other hand.

Unexpectedly, the emperor actually took the initiative to change the strategic focus of the offensive.

From this point alone, it is not simple.

The discussion lasted for more than half an hour, and Zhang Wenqian heard some good suggestions, such as Prince Hedan's suggestion that the sailors of the Great Song Dynasty should first be completely defeated, besiege Xiangyang, and cut off the connection between Xiangyang and the capital of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhang Wenqian did not speak, he is not a military general, he is not very familiar with the matters of operation, and he has no right to speak, as for why he was able to participate in this discussion, it was not until a long time later that he understood the reason, it turned out that this was the emperor to show his determination and confidence, and it was also the meaning of the edict to the world.

After the discussion, Zhang Wenqian returned to Zhongshu Province and did not say anything, the big things discussed in the court cannot be said casually, let alone discussed behind his back.

After Xiu Mu went home, Zhang Wenqian fell into deep thought, and he hesitated.

As one of the advisers, Zhang Wenqian thought that everything was from two aspects, he didn't know whether today's discussion was true or not, it was false, it was unlikely, the emperor did not need to gather so many people to discuss, and said that it was true, but the emperor did not say the time of the attack, and the army that was decided to be sent, etc.

It wasn't until it was dark that Zhang Wenqian suddenly realized what a secret was, and chose to attack from Xiangyang Fucheng, which was indeed a secret, but as soon as the army moved, the news naturally leaked out, as for who to send as the commander, how many troops to send to attack, and when to attack, this is a matter of real confidentiality.

Although it was late, Zhang Wenqian did not waste time and went straight to the restaurant.

Zhang Wenqian told Tong Weihua this important news.

Tong Weihua was greatly surprised, he almost couldn't believe such a thing, in his opinion, the Mongol army was afraid that it would attack from the direction of Sichuan, and the decisive battle between his own lord and the Mongol Kublai Khan would not be long before it appeared.

Tong Weihua can't analyze, and can't analyze, such an important matter.

Seeing Tong Weihua's surprise, Zhang Wenqian could only explain with a wry smile, saying that the direction of the main attack of the Mongolian court and the Mongolian army must be Xiangyang, not other places, as for when to attack, how many troops to send, who is the commander of the army, etc., I am afraid that these news will have to wait for the real start of the attack, and it will be possible to know.

Tong Weihua can't argue whether the news is true or false, but he will never delay such important information.

For the sake of safety, Tong Weihua sent three groups of men and horses to deliver intelligence in the direction of Sichuan, and set a time to send this important information to Sichuan within about half a month.

When Zhang Wenqian returned to the mansion, it was already close to the end of the day.

After returning to the mansion, Zhang Wenqian did not rest immediately, but entered the study.

This day's time, for Zhang Wenqian, is also unusual, he had hesitated, finally made up his mind, and at the same time there was a little comfort in his heart, the Mongolian army did not choose to attack from Sichuan, Sichuan's Hezhou Imperial Army, etc., there was a chance to breathe, if the Mongolian army launched a general attack, waiting for the opportunity to attack, maybe be able to occupy more places, so that their own strength is even stronger.

This night, Zhang Wenqian didn't sleep well.

The next day, after the retreat, Zhang Wenqian came to the restaurant again and informed Tong Weihua of his thoughts last night, the meaning was very clear, hoping that Sichuan could seize the opportunity to strengthen its own strength.

Zhang Wenqian's suggestion was also highly valued by Tong Weihua, and he personally wrote out the document and asked Zhang Wenqian to look at it.

At this moment, Zhang Wenqian was extremely surprised, you must know that Tong Weihua is just the shopkeeper of the restaurant, and he can actually write letters and express his meaning clearly.

According to his own ideas, Zhang Wenqian re-copied the letter after polishing it.

This crucial letter was also sent to Sichuan.

Zhang Wenqian's handwritten letter, going to Sichuan, the meaning of this has been very clear. (To be continued.) )
