Chapter 230: Determination
Liu Yuanzhen did not fully make up his mind, for the attack on Tongchuan Mansion, he lacked the belief in victory, when Liu Cheng surrendered, he led 5,000 soldiers to occupy the Tongchuan Mansion City, full of ambition, planning to take down the entire Tongchuan Mansion Road, this is a huge merit, you must know that the Mongolian Khan Meng Ge led the army to conquer in person, and was not able to take the Diaoyu City of Hezhou.

It's a pity that the 5,000 soldiers led by Liu Yuanzhen were not able to return to Chengdu Mansion, but the whole army was wiped out, and later Liu Heima led the army to attack Tongchuan Mansion again, and also suffered failure, which made Liu Yuanzhen, who had been through a hundred battles, faintly feel that the Song army he faced was different from before, and its combat effectiveness was much stronger.
For this reason, Liu Yuanzhen did not plan to attack Tongchuan Mansion with all his might, he just made an appearance to let the Great Khan Kublai Khan know the importance of his position and make his position more consolidated, so when arranging many matters, they were all carried out secretly, and there was no performance even in Chengdu Prefecture.
Wang Wentong's experience, Liu Yuanzhen's memory is very deep, when Liu Heima was alive, the two once said this, Liu Heima felt sighing, after all, Wang Wentong's daughter married Li Pu, the two are the relationship between Weng and son-in-law, it is impossible to say that there is no contact at all, after Li Pu's rebellion, there was contact with Wang Wentong, no matter what type of contact, it is a great rebellious crime, according to reason, it can be killed, but if Kublai Khan can be magnanimous and let Wang Wentong go, Maybe it can be more cohesive and get more support.
Wang Wentong was killed, and Kublai Khan's Han ministers have a great relationship, Zhang Wenqian and Liu Bingzhong and others are all suggesting to kill, plus Kublai Khan is also taboo that the Han people control too much power, and decided to kill Wang Wentong, this Liu Heima and Liu Yuanzhen are very clear, and Liu Heima also specially analyzed, the Han people around Kublai Khan may not be one heart, they are also intriguing in the struggle for power, including Kublai Khan knows this.
A wise Han minister is indeed very powerful, but it is difficult to say that ten powerful Han ministers are together, because powerful Han people like infighting, and it is difficult to fully unite.
Liu Heima didn't think of himself as a Han at all, and Liu Yuanzhen was the same.
It is precisely because of this that Liu Heima and Liu Yuanzhen can make accurate judgments in the face of those Han ministers.
However, what Liu Yuanzhen didn't expect was that Kublai Khan actually issued a special edict, agreeing to his request to conquer Tongchuan Mansion, and taking him as the commander of the expedition to Tongchuan Mansion.
This kind of treatment has only been given to his father Liu Heima.
The conquest of the Mongol court, regardless of the scale, was all the Mongol princes as the commanders, and the rest of the Semu and Han people were impossible to be the commanders.
Kublai Khan's edict made Liu Yuanzhen fall into hesitation.
Liu Yuanzhen originally thought that even if Kublai Khan allowed him to conquer Tongchuan Prefecture, he would send a Mongolian prince to serve as the commander to lead this expedition, and such a large-scale expedition would require a period of preparation and mobilization from all sides, and the court would even send some soldiers to come, because of many restrictions, the time for the war may last until the next year.
Or that Kublai Khan simply refused to allow Liu Yuanzhen's request, after all, Abuligo was still the biggest threat to the Mongol court.
It's a pity that Kublai Khan agreed, and even gave Liu Yuanzhen the same trust as his father Liu Heima.
At this moment, Liu Yuanzhen does not have the most trusted strategist by his side, and he will not completely trust a certain strategist.
Liu Yuanzhen has 50,000 new attached troops under his command, and the combat effectiveness is still good, but unfortunately two consecutive years have passed, and nearly 10,000 elites have been lost, including a large number of war horses.
Liu Yuanzhen's transformation of the newly attached army under his command was basically completed, and the main officers were replaced by his own henchmen.
If the 50,000 new annexed army is lost, Liu Yuanzhen will lose all his capital, nothing in the eyes of Kublai Khan, and lose his status in the Mongolian court.
In the imperial court, the status of the Mongol prince is mostly determined by the strength of the tribal army's combat effectiveness and the strength of the army, and the status of the Han officers is also determined by the combat strength and strength of the new annexed army under their command.
The only thing that made Liu Yuanzhen feel happy was that he was trusted by the Great Khan Kublai Khan and served as the commander of a large-scale battle, as for why Kublai Khan made such a decision, he couldn't think clearly.
When the edict arrived, it was impossible for Liu Yuanzhen to continue to keep it secret, and the matter of conquering Tongchuan Mansion finally spread.
Of course, Liu Yuanzhen, as the commander, can decide how to conquer and determine the size of the battle.
Luzhou Mansion Ya, wing.
Hao Jing and Huang Jiaming made several suggestions that a separate Tongchuan Mansion Road Defense Envoy Yamen should not be overlapped with the Mansion Yamen, but Wu Shaogang did not agree, the Defense Envoy Yamen did not have a separate office place, nor did he set up a special official, and he has always been acting with the Mansion to handle official business, and Wu Shaogang is also the prefect of Luzhou Prefecture, so it is much more convenient to do things.
When Luo Sulin's information arrived, Yuan Shichun sent it to the government as quickly as possible, and he didn't even have time to sort it out.
After reading the information, Hao Jing and Huang Jiaming were both frowning, and there was no smile on their faces, and Wu Shaogang was also pondering.
After a long while, Hao Jing finally spoke.
"My lord, Kublai Khan's edict does not conform to common sense, and his subordinates are a little puzzled."
Huang Jiaming also nodded and spoke.
"Liu Yuanzhen became a marshal, this is indeed incomprehensible, in the eyes of his subordinates, Liu Yuanzhen cannot be compared with Liu Heima at all, and it is impossible to get such a high degree of trust from Kublai Khan."
It was Wu Shaogang, who had a more relaxed smile on his face, and he had already thought of the mystery.
After Kublai Khan founded the Great Yuan Dynasty, in order to weaken the strength of the new annexed army, Fan Wenhu, the son-in-law of LĂź Wende, who had ordered the surrender, led the new annexed army to attack Dongying Japan on a large scale, resulting in heavy losses and greatly weakened the strength of the new annexed army.
Kublai Khan is about to completely suppress Abuligo's rebellion, which also indicates that the Mongol court is about to straighten out, and then Kublai Khan must consider the conquest of the Great Song Dynasty, and the new annex army that has gradually grown in strength will definitely arouse Kublai Khan's high concern, how to really control the new annex army, or how to make the new annex army more elite, in order to participate in the large-scale expedition that will be carried out later, is what Kublai Khan must plan.
The lesson left by Li Pu in Shandong to Kublai Khan must be profound, and it is precisely for this reason that Kublai Khan began to alienate the Han people, and gradually trusted and reused the Semu people, and it was at this moment that the Zuo Prime Minister Ahmada rose.
Using the new annex army to start a small-scale expedition to the Song army, making it difficult for the Song army to settle down, and making it difficult for the Song court to be peaceful, this is the best way, although this is likely to make the new annex army suffer heavy losses, but Kublai Khan doesn't care, he still has more than 200,000 elite troops in his hands, which is a large army composed of Mongolian iron cavalry and Semu people, such an army is Kublai Khan's real reliance.
From this point of view, it is not surprising that Kublai Khan let Liu Yuanzhen become the commander and prepare to conquer Tongchuan Mansion.
"Mr. Hao, Mr. Huang, I thought of one thing, Shandong Li Pu rebelled, Wang Wentong and his son were beheaded by Kublai Khan, after this incident, Ahma, a man of color eyes, became the prime minister of Zuo, ranking above Shi Tianze, and in terms of actual merits, Ahma is far inferior to Shi Tianze."
As soon as Wu Shao said this, Hao Jing and Huang Jiaming fell into contemplation at the same time.
"Liu Yuanzhen became the commander and commanded a large-scale battle, which seems to be Kublai Khan's high trust in Liu Yuanzhen, but if you analyze it carefully, such a reason is obviously untenable."
"Liu Heima has won Kublai Khan's trust, that is, after years of fighting, an unusual tacit understanding has been established between them, but Liu Yuanzhen does not have such qualifications, or Liu Yuanzhen is too young, it is impossible to arouse Kublai Khan's attention and trust to such a degree, so Liu Yuanzhen became the coach, it is worth scrutinizing."
The latter words, Wu Shaogang did not point out, it was too shocking, as for whether Hao Jing and Huang Jiaming can figure it out, it depends on the ability of the two.
Only a quarter of an hour later, Hao Jing and Huang Jiaming raised their heads at the same time, smiles on their faces.
Hao Jing looked at Huang Jiaming and spoke slowly.
"My subordinates thought that Liu Yuanzhen might be difficult to gain a foothold in Chengdu Fulu."
Huang Jiaming also nodded.
Wu Shaogang didn't speak immediately, looking at Hao Jing and Huang Jiaming, although his face was calm, his heart was turbulent, Hao Jing and Huang Jiaming were indeed smart, and they were not ordinary smart, no wonder the two of them could get Kublai Khan's attention, which also shows that Kublai Khan's side, those Han ministers are indeed extraordinary.
"Mr. Hao, Mr. Huang, why Liu Yuanzhen was appointed as the marshal by Kublai Khan, this matter is just our speculation, don't care so much, we are thinking about conquering Chengdu Fulu, looking for opportunities, I can't imagine that Liu Yuanzhen is actually ready to take the initiative to attack, this doesn't save us a lot of matters, I'm still thinking about how to deal with the court's questioning, now it seems that there is no need, the army in front of the Hezhou Emperor must make all preparations in the shortest possible time, since Kublai Khan has the heart, then we don't let him down, Not to mention taking the entire Chengdu Fulu, at least a few prefectures and counties at the border should be taken to make our border more stable.
