Chapter 434: Unable to do both

Kublai Khan has always attached great importance to the situation in the Monan grassland, and the analysis between him and Wang E at the beginning has been confirmed, and Wu Shaogang really chose to attack the Monan grassland. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Monan Grassland was not the holy land of the Great Yuan Dynasty, and the place where the Mongols arose was the Mobei Grassland.

Many powerful people in the court do not pay special attention to the Monan grassland, and it can even be said that many people reject the Monan grassland from their hearts, but as the emperor Kublai Khan, he must still pay attention to the situation in the Monan grassland.

When the Song army had just entered the Monan grassland, it was not long before the Great Yuan court issued the edict of the Song Dynasty, and Kublai Khan did not feel strange in this regard, if Wu Shaogang could not seize such an opportunity, Kublai Khan would really feel strange.

The Song army entered the Monan steppe to conquer, which made Kublai Khan feel a little fortunate and relieved.

You must know that Wu Shaogang occupied the entire Henan Province, and if he raised troops to enter Shandong, all of Kublai Khan's deployments would be disrupted, and at that time, he would have to raise troops in a big way and start a decisive battle with Wu Shaogang.

If Wu Shaogang chooses to attack in the direction of Jingnan Road, Kublai Khan will also have trouble sleeping, after all, Xiangyang Fucheng has become the logistics base of the Song army, and there can be no mistakes.

It should be said that Wu Shaogang's occupation of Henan Province is equivalent to occupying the hinterland of the Central Plains, and many strategic deployments of Kublai Khan and the Great Yuan court may encounter constraints.

As Wu Shaogang guessed, Kublai Khan had secretly ordered Prince Habichi, who was stationed in Shandong, to lead a large army into the Daimyo's mansion, always paying attention to the situation in the Monan grassland, and once he found an opportunity, he quickly entered the Monan grassland, giving the Song army a devastating blow, fighting on the grassland, Kublai Khan had 100% self-confidence.

The army of destroying the Song Dynasty led by Ashu was also of concern to Kublai Khan, but Ashu occupied most of the Jinghu South Road and Jinghu North Road, and after the siege of Ezhou began, Kublai Khan was not so worried.

The situation was moving towards an analysis between Kublai Khan and Wang E, which Kublai Khan felt relieved about.

People are not as good as heaven, but accidents still appeared, and they were accidents that Kublai Khan had to take action.

At the bottom of Mobei, together with many Mongolian tribes, they officially rebelled in August, and they took the initiative to attack, and in a short period of time, they took a lot of territory in the Mobei grassland.

The Mobei grassland is the holy land of the Great Yuan Dynasty, and it is the place where the Mongols rise, and the loss of the Mobei grassland is unacceptable for Kublai Khan and the Great Yuan Dynasty, so that the Great Yuan Dynasty will lose the foundation of its existence, and the Mongolian magnates in the court will be separated from Germany, resulting in the entire dynasty being unable to support.

Kublai Khan, of course, could not afford to lose the entire Mobei steppe.

The Great Yuan Dynasty had to do something.

Prince Tachar and Wuliang Hetai, who were stationed in the Mobei grassland, were also caught off guard, they had already led the army to start defense, trying to hold more territories, but Haidu came prepared this time, its strength was very strong, and it was difficult to deal with Tachar and Wuliang Hetai, so they had to write a request for help to the imperial court.

With little trade-off, Kublai Khan dispatched Prince Habichi, led 20,000 Mongolian iron cavalry, and rushed to Mobei to rush to the aid of Tachar and Wuliang.

Kublai Khan wanted to tear the sea to pieces.

Some time ago, Kublai Khan got a report, there were many businessmen who went to the Mobei grassland to do business, they didn't pay much attention to it at that time, the Mobei grassland and the Monan grassland, there are businessmen, long journeys, including the Mongolian merchant team, and the people who led the way for these merchants are all local Mongolians, otherwise the merchant team would not have arrived in the Mobei grassland.

The sudden attack of Haidu made Kublai Khan look at these merchants with suspicion.

After Kublai Khan and Wang E discussed, he secretly sent an envoy to the Mobei grassland to contact Haidu, the two sides made a secret agreement, each of them was safe, the Great Yuan court did not interfere with Haidu and the Mongolian tribes united by Haidu, as the leader of the alliance, Haidu would not stir up trouble in the Mobei grassland, but the secret agreement was not signed for a long time, and Haidu actually violated the agreement.

This is also one of the reasons why Tachar and Wuliang Hetai were caught off guard.

The Mongols always respect the agreement, which is related to personal honor, and those who violate the agreement are looked down upon and spurned in the Mongolian steppe, and what is the reason for the Haidu to violate the agreement and take the initiative to attack.

The best explanation is that Hai knew about the changes that had occurred in the Central Plains, and even more so that the Great Yuan court was attacking the south, trying to destroy the Great Song Dynasty in one fell swoop.

Haidu is not a stupid person, I am afraid that after the Great Yuan Dynasty completely destroyed the Great Song Dynasty, it would turn around and completely pacify the hidden dangers in the Mobei grassland, and if it chose to attack at this time, it would be impossible for the Great Yuan Court and Kublai Khan to draw a large number of troops into Mobei.

The emergence of the Mobei Rebellion made Kublai Khan unable to deal with everything in the Monan grassland.

The top priority at the moment is to quell the Mobei Rebellion in the shortest possible time, so that the imperial court can be stabilized.

Kublai Khan, whose face was a little pale, looked at the last brother in front of him.

"Brother Mo, you came back from Kaifeng, I have never had time to see you, our brothers seem to be separated, during this time, my heart is a little chaotic, I thought that the Mobei grassland was safe, who knew that there was a change in the bones, the army led by Ashu is attacking Ezhou, once Ezhou is taken, then the army can drive straight in, attack Lin'an City, if you can occupy the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, then the Great Song Dynasty will definitely perish, so it is not possible to transfer the army led by Ashu."

"Wu Shaogang in Henan is also eyeing the troops, and I don't dare to deploy the troops stationed in Shandong on a large scale, and the troops stationed in most of the capital cannot be deployed at will, otherwise Wu Shaogang will take advantage of the emptiness of Shandong and Dadu's defense to launch a sudden attack, which will be a disaster for the imperial court."

"I have never understood why Haidu violated the agreement, yesterday I finally figured it out, this should be Wu Shaogang's instigation, in those businessmen who went to the Mobei grassland, planted spies, instigated Haidu to rebel, this Wu Shaogang, I am more and more interested, Brother Mo, you and Wu Shaogang have been in contact many times, what do you think of this person."

Kublai Khan went around in a big circle and finally raised the question.

Brother Mo's expression is very calm, after returning from Kaifeng Mansion this time, his temperament is much more stable, he doesn't particularly care about personal gains and losses, even if he encounters the snub of the emperor and the court, he can maintain a normal heart.

Perhaps it was such a change in Brother Mo that made Kublai Khan curious, although he did not directly summon Brother Mo, but he always paid attention to Brother Mo's words and deeds.

After being silent for a while, Brother Mo let out a long breath and spoke.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Wu Shaogang's wisdom and courage are no less than the emperor."

This answer made Kublai Khan's face change slightly, he wanted to be angry, just a Wu Shaogang, why compare with him, the emperor of the Great Yuan Dynasty, even if Brother Mo is telling the truth, he shouldn't say it so directly.

But Kublai Khan held back and didn't lose his temper, he knew that what Brother Mo said was his true feelings.

Kublai Khan did not continue to speak, and neither did Brother Mo.

The stalemate lasted for a few minutes, and Kublai Khan finally spoke.

"Brother Mogo, your answer confirms my judgment, Wu Shaogang must have sent spies into the Mobei grassland to bewitch Haidu to rebel, but I don't understand, Wu Shaogang is Han after all, Haidu is a Mongol after all, the battle between Haidu and me is an internal matter of the Mongols, the battle between me and the Great Song Dynasty, it is an external conquest, which is more important, isn't it clear that Haidu..."

When Kublai Khan denounced Haidu, Mo Ge did not look up.

Fighting and fighting, regardless of inside and outside, as long as it is an opponent who threatens itself, no matter what identity it is, it must be eradicated, the words that the emperor just said are obviously not convincing, if Haidu hears these words, he will jump higher.

After Kublai Khan finished speaking, he looked at the last brother in front of him and suddenly felt depressed.

There are many Mongolian princes who remain in the capital, and the real ones who are really capable are Moge and Hedan and others, Kublai Khan trusted and reused these princes, but he could not be completely assured.

In the process of the Battle of Xiangyang, Prince Hedan played those little cleverness, Kublai Khan's heart seemed to be a mirror, especially when the Battle of Xiangyang entered a critical moment, Hedan actually wrote a twist and turn to impeach Wuliang Hetai.

Kublai Khan's greatest hatred in his life was to be threatened, but unfortunately he was still threatened by Hedan.

In order to successfully take the city of Xiangyang, Kublai Khan violated his heart for the first time and transferred Wuliang Hetai away from Dadu and went to Mobei, but this account, Kublai Khan firmly remembered, after the capture of Xiangyang City, Hedan and Ashu both returned to Dadu, Kublai Khan left Hedan behind, and let Ashu lead the army to complete the strategic task of destroying the Song Dynasty.

As for Brother Mo, there are more worries left for Kublai Khan, Brother Mo's most beloved niece, Akocha, who is married to Wu Shaogang and has negotiated with Wu Shaogang on behalf of the imperial court several times, will he be confined to family affection and have other ideas.

Kublai Khan has always been in a contradiction, not trusting Mo Ge and Hedan and others, that is unreasonable, then Kublai Khan will have no one available, no matter what, many Mongolian princes, in terms of maintaining the court is stronger than others, but some signs always make Kublai Khan worry, if these princes have different intentions, then Kublai Khan and the Yuan court will suffer a heavy blow.

Looking at the calm Mogo, Kublai Khan finally spoke again.

"The situation changes in the Monan grassland, I can't pay attention to it for the time being, quelling the rebellion in Haidu is the most important matter at present, Brother Moge, at such a critical moment, I hope you will continue to do the same. . . ."
