Chapter 355: Discord
Kublai Khan had been paying close attention to the situation in Sichuan, and there was a knot in his heart, and if this knot could not be opened, it would be very uncomfortable to accumulate in his heart. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The hero is the hero, the knot that ordinary people can't overcome, Kublai Khan still held back, for the sake of the overall situation, in order to be able to dominate the world, many things must be temporarily put down.
In fact, Kublai Khan's heart, still want to attack Sichuan first, the Mongolian army suffered several defeats in Sichuan, lost troops and lost generals, and even 10,000 Mongolian iron cavalry led by Wuliang Hetai also lost the battle of Sichuan, which is unbearable for Kublai Khan, but also unwilling, in his opinion, no matter how strong the Song army, in front of the Mongolian iron cavalry is not worth mentioning, many years of combat experience made him understand that the Song army in Sichuan is indeed stronger than the Song army in other places, but it is only stronger, if you do your best to attack, It will definitely be able to destroy the Song army in Sichuan.
But the reality of the situation forced Kublai Khan to put down this mind, attacking Sichuan and attacking Xiangyang, the comparison of the two strategic deployments, the advantages and disadvantages are very obvious, as the emperor of the Mongol Kingdom, Kublai Khan took into account the interests of the whole, and the beginning of the battle of the all-out conquest of the Great Song Dynasty could not be hard to avoid a blow to morale.
However, the heart knot is the heart knot, and Kublai Khan also has an ordinary side, that is, he does not admit defeat.
Although the Mongol army had firmly surrounded Xiangyang and gradually cut off any connection between Xiangyang and the Song court, and by the beginning of April, the reinforcements on the river side of Xiangyang Fucheng were also completely cut off, but Kublai Khan still did not completely give up his intention to attack Sichuan, and he was waiting for the opportunity for the Song army in Sichuan to rush to Xiangyang.
Kublai Khan had absolute confidence, he believed that the army besieging Xiangyang could cope with all the situation, the city of Xiangyang was strong, and it was very difficult to take it in a short time, so the army besieging Xiangyang adopted the tactics of besieging the city to send reinforcements, first of all, to destroy part of the Song army that rushed to help, and to destroy the morale of the Song army, which was also the best combat plan.
However, after such a long time, the Song army in Sichuan did not have the slightest movement, and the scouts sent did not detect any news, and nearly half a year passed, and even no Song army was found, which made Kublai Khan puzzled.
A new bold idea appeared in Kublai Khan's mind, and this idea made Kublai Khan a little sleepless.
The Royal Palace, the Temple of Measurement.
This is the resting place of Kublai Khan after taking charge of the government, and no one is allowed to enter without permission.
When Moge entered the side hall, Kublai Khan was meditating on the map on the table.
Seeing Brother Mo coming in, Kublai Khan waved his hand and signaled that Brother Mo did not have to salute.
"Brother Mo, you said that Wu Shaogang, the envoy of the Great Song Yunchuan Festival, is he thinking of being the emperor?"
Kublai Khan suddenly asked, which made Brother Mo stunned for a moment.
"Your Majesty, the minister didn't think of this."
"I think it's possible, the army has besieged Xiangyang for so long, and the Great Song Dynasty sent a lot of reinforcements, including Lianghuai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places, all to aid Xiangyang, but the Song army stationed in Sichuan did not have the slightest movement, I don't believe that the Great Song Dynasty did not dispatch the Song army in Sichuan, you must know that the Song army stationed in Sichuan has the strongest combat effectiveness."
Brother Mo thought for a moment.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there is also a possibility, that is, the Song army stationed in Sichuan has always been on alert to prevent our army from suddenly attacking Sichuan, after all, the Habichi brothers are still stationed in Kaifeng Fucheng, according to the Great Song Yunchuan Festival to make Wu Shaogang's shrewdness, it is impossible not to notice this."
"It makes sense, but if this is the case, the Sichuan Song army will definitely take action, it is impossible to stand still, the scouts have been in Sichuan for so long, and they have not found any signs of movement of the Sichuan Song army, which is not right."
At this moment, Brother Mo was also stunned, this is indeed the case, if the Song army in Sichuan is on guard against the Mongolian army, there will definitely be a move, at least the corresponding deployment exists, but after such a long time, the Song army in Sichuan has not made the slightest move, is it possible that they have so much confidence that they will be able to deal with all the situations.
After a moment of silence, Brother Mo frowned and spoke again.
"The emperor's words, the minister feels that there is some truth, Hao Jing, Zhang Rou, Zhang Hongluo and Zhang Hongfan and others, all stayed in Sichuan, as well as Huang Jiaming next to Liu Heima, the minister also heard that there is Dou Mo, these people returned to the Great Song Dynasty, it is said that they should go to the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, but they all stayed in Sichuan directly, is it possible to say that Wu Shaogang really wants to rebel."
Brother Mo directly talked about Hao Jing and others in front of Kublai Khan, but Kublai Khan would not be angry and angry.
"Brother Mo, I think if Wu Shaogang rebels, it is the best opportunity for my court, once the Great Song Dynasty loses the Song army in Sichuan, it is even more vulnerable, the imperial court can do its best to encircle and suppress the Great Song Dynasty, I think I can send an envoy to Sichuan to negotiate with Wu Shaogang and stabilize him, and wait until the army completely destroys the Great Song Dynasty, turn around and deal with Wu Shaogang, it will be much simpler."
"The minister thinks that this method is feasible, as long as the Song army in Sichuan is stabilized, the Dan brothers can rest assured that they can boldly attack Xiangyang Fucheng, as long as Xiangyang Fucheng is taken, the Great Song Dynasty will have nothing to rely on."
A smile appeared on Kublai Khan's face, and he pointed to Sichuan.
"Sichuan is the place where the Great Song Dynasty court relies on, once Sichuan is lost and Xiangyang is lost, what else is there to rely on in the Great Song Dynasty, then the army of our court can drive straight in and destroy the Great Song Dynasty, how can a mere Wu Shaogang go against my Mongolian dynasty."
In an instant, Kublai Khan regained his confidence, as if he saw that everything was going in the direction he had planned.
Brother Mo did not continue to speak, and looked at Kublai Khan silently, with a faint guess in his heart.
"I heard that this Wu Shaogang, but in his early twenties, is so young, he can have extraordinary ambitions, it seems that this person is by no means ordinary, when Ha Bichi led the army to attack Lianghuai, the news from Lianghuai, Wu Shaogang was just born in an ordinary family, how can he be so wise."
When he said this, Kublai Khan's face was a little gloomy, probably thinking of Hao Jing and others.
Before he could answer, Kublai Khan spoke again.
"Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, knew people and was good at his duties, so he was able to achieve great things, I see if Wu Shaogang also wanted to learn from Liu Bang, based on Sichuan and Yunnan, and achieve hegemony."
Brother Mo didn't expect it to be so far, so he didn't open his mouth for the time being.
Kublai Khan's thoughts were fast.
"I see that Wu Shaogang has such an idea, it seems that the imperial court is going to send an envoy to Sichuan, so I went directly to Wu Shaogang and explained my meaning clearly, the Mongolian court and Sichuan, Yunnan and other places, the well water does not interfere with the river water, and at the same time, the Habichi brothers can also evacuate Kaifeng Mansion and return to Dadu."
"Brother Mogo, do you think it's appropriate to send someone as an envoy?"
After Kublai Khan finished asking, Brother Mo did not waste time and immediately answered.
"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to serve as an envoy and go to Sichuan to meet Wu Shaogang."
Kublai Khan was stunned for a moment, and immediately shook his head.
"Brother Mo, you can't go, I can't do without you, and besides, there are a lot of things under your jurisdiction, and you can't get out."
Brother Mo's attitude is very resolute.
"Your Majesty, the minister is the most suitable candidate, first, the minister came forward to contact Wu Shaogang, showing the importance of the imperial court to Sichuan and Yunnan, and the importance of Wu Shaogang, which made Wu Shaogang at least psychologically relaxed, and second, the minister's niece A Kecha is Wu Shaogang's side room, and the identity of this layer makes Wu Shaogang dare not have any other thoughts about the minister."
Kublai Khan stood up and looked at Moge.
It took a while for Kublai Khan to speak.
"Brother Mogo, for the sake of the imperial court, then it will be hard for you, this matter needs to be kept secret, once you and Wu Shaogang have successfully negotiated, after returning to the capital, I will send an envoy again to the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, and inform the Great Song Imperial Court of the agreement of this consultation, and at that time, everything will be carried out according to my deployment."
"The emperor is wise, once the Great Song Dynasty court learns that Wu Shaogang has signed an agreement with our court, it will definitely be furious, and may even send a large army to attack Sichuan, so that Xiangyang Mansion can be taken faster."
"This is the best, but it is not necessarily, maybe the Great Song Dynasty will also fight for Wu Shaogang, but the contradictions between them have arisen, and there is no possibility if they want to truly integrate."
When he said this, Kublai Khan remembered something.
"Brother Mogo, if Wu Shaogang is willing to submit to my Mongolian court, that is the best, as long as Wu Shaogang is willing to submit to my Mongolian court, he will still serve as the envoy of the Yunchuan Festival, and I will also give him the title of king and lord."
When Kublai Khan said this, a smile appeared on his face.
If Wu Shaogang is willing to submit to the Mongolian court, then Akecha can be regarded as a lifelong trust, so it is the most important task to strive for Wu Shaogang to return to the Mongolian court.
Brother Mo believes that with the conditions offered by the emperor, there will not be much problem in winning Wu Shaogang's submission.
The general attack on Xiangyang Mansion will be launched after mid-June, and the time is approaching, if the army attacks Xiangyang Mansion City, the Song army will rush to the aid of the army too much, and it will also have a great impact.
Don't let that happen.
After the end brother left the side hall, Kublai Khan became a little excited, he was satisfied with his plan, as long as Wu Shaogang did not make any moves, then a huge hidden danger was eliminated, once the army captured the city of Xiangyang, the next situation will have major changes, and then Wu Shaogang was afraid that he would be forced to submit to the Mongol court.
