Shi Tianze, Liu Bingzhong, Zhang Rou and others gathered in the yurt, and the expressions on their faces were not very good. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After the incident of Li Pu and Wang Wentong, the Han people in the court were obviously excluded, Kublai Khan no longer trusted the Han people around him very much, and began to reuse the Semu people, and the Han ministers, including Zhang Wenqian, were difficult to participate in the discussion of core matters.

Zhang Wenqian first discovered that as the Han with the highest status in the Mongolian court and the most trusted by Kublai Khan, his feelings were very obvious, so Zhang Wenqian vaguely informed Shi Tianze and others of his feelings.

The Han people who were able to go to the Mongolian court, especially the Han people who were trusted by Kublai Khan, almost all appeared as staff members and advisers, and a small number of them were brave soldiers.

In the face of such a situation, many Han ministers, including Zhang Wenqian and Shi Tianze, were helpless, and they suggested killing Wang Wentong at the beginning, but they did not expect that it would be such an ending today.

As for saying that Shi Tianze can serve as the deputy privy envoy, it is just a formality, the real power of the privy council is completely in the hands of the Mongolian Great Khan Kublai Khan, including Shi Tianze and Kurachu, the two privy deputy envoys, who have no power to mobilize the army at all.

However, this kind of reasoning, people outside the inner circle of the Han people will not understand, including some Semu people and Mongols, after Kublai Khan appointed Shi Tianze as the privy deputy envoy, the Semu people represented by Zuo Prime Minister Ahma and others also openly put forward their opinions, thinking that the deputy envoy of the Privy Council should be controlled by the Mongols and Semu people.

Of course, Ahmad and others were reprimanded mercilessly by Kublai Khan.

When you fall into a predicament, you have to seek change, which is the thinking that the Han people around Kublai Khan are used to.

They have been silently waiting for an opportunity, hoping to use something to compete with the Semu people.

It was also at this time that Liu Yuanzhen's recital folded to the central court.

Kublai Khan made a public statement in the court, stating that Liu Yuanzhen had asked for war and wanted to attack and occupy Tongchuan Mansion, to which Tongchuan Road belonged, and whether he agreed to Liu Yuanzhen's request, Kublai Khan rarely consulted everyone's opinions.

The Mongol prince Mogo, as well as the left prime minister Ahma, and others all clearly expressed their opposition, believing that the most important task now was to put down Abuligo's rebellion as quickly as possible, and at the same time try to stabilize Yanjing and Shandong and other places to recuperate, while the Han ministers, represented by Zhang Wenqian, were ambiguous and did not express a clear opinion.

Strangely, Kublai Khan did not express his position immediately, but asked everyone to discuss it after three days.

In such a situation, everyone fell into the clouds, I don't know what it means, you must know that Kublai Khan is very decisive in doing things, and there will be no hesitation.

There is no doubt that the conquest and occupation of Tongchuan Mansion was of great benefit to the Mongol court, and for many years, the Mongol court hoped to make a breakthrough from Sichuan and destroy the Great Song Dynasty, but unfortunately it was not possible.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Yuanzhen will play a twist and try to make a breakthrough from Tongchuan Mansion.

In terms of time, it is obviously inappropriate, after all, the imperial court is still doing its best to quell Abuligo's rebellion, and it was only not long ago that the rebellion of Li Pu in Shandong was quelled, and Huaibei, which was occupied by the Song army, was used in many ways, and the consumption was huge, which made the imperial court feel unbearable.

It was for these reasons that Brother Mo, Ahma and others opposed Liu Yuanzhen's provocation of a war in Sichuan.

In any case, the suggestions of Brother Mo and others were correct, but Kublai Khan did not immediately adopt them.

In the past, there would not have been such a situation at all, and the correct advice of Brother Mo and others had already been adopted by Kublai Khan.

Kublai Khan's attitude made everyone puzzled and confused.

In fact, Brother Mo, Ahma and others, including Zhang Wenqian, Shi Tianze, Liu Bingzhong and Zhang Rou, would not understand at all that all this was carefully arranged by Kublai Khan, who wanted to unify the world, and wanted to be the emperor, and if he wanted to achieve this goal, he needed to consider it as a whole.

Kublai Khan faced the reality that whether it was in terms of strategy or numbers, the disadvantages of the Mongols were very obvious, he could not completely rely on the Mongols to unify the world, he had to use the Han and the Semu people, but he could not let the Han and the Semu people really control the power, so let the Semu people and the Han people in the court oppose each other, calculate each other, and the Mongols mediate and control in the middle, which is the best effect, so Kublai Khan, who is in a detached position, can fully use and control the Semu people and the Han people.

The Mongols were not monolithic, and there were many troubles, such as Abuligo, who also united some Mongol tribal leaders to openly oppose Kublai Khan's succession as Mongol Great Khan.

This made Kublai Khan have a lot to think about and do, and he was in a state of tension all the time.

For Liu Yuanzhen, who was far away in Chengdu Mansion, Kublai Khan had a trace of worry in his heart, and he would never be completely relieved.

Wang Wentong's matter, the blow to Kublai Khan is huge, but also prompted his role to slowly change, before he Kublai Khan was only the Mongolian Khan, as far as the eye can see the entire steppe, but in the future it will be different, he Kublai Khan wants to be the emperor of the Mongols, the Semu people and the Han people, then it must be comprehensive stability and comprehensive control, he Kublai Khan can not let the civil and military ministers under his command twist into a ball, let alone let the Semu people and the Han people unite.

Liu Yuanzhen's twists and turns, according to the previous practice, Kublai Khan would not consider it at all, and quickly dismissed it, but this time it was different, he faintly thought of something, maybe through this expedition, Kublai Khan had the opportunity to reshuffle the cards.

The Hezhou Imperial Army of the Great Song Dynasty also attracted the attention of Kublai Khan, but he did not pay special attention to it, in Kublai Khan's view, as long as the Mongolian iron cavalry was dispatched, the Song army would be wiped out.

Kublai Khan needed to take advantage of such an opportunity.

"Lord Liu, General Zhang, if you say tomorrow's early dynasty, do I agree with Liu Yuanzhen's performance?"

Liu Bingzhong looked at Zhang Rou and spoke unhurriedly.

"Lord Shi, I think we should agree, the Great Khan did not make a decision the day before yesterday, obviously he agreed with Liu Yuanzhen to lead the army to conquer, otherwise it should have been refuted at that time, and the Prince of Moge and Prime Minister Ahma Zuo both expressed their opposition, but the Great Khan did not adopt it, which is enough to show that the Great Khan has different ideas."

Zhang Rou shook her head and spoke.

"Lord Shi, Lord Liu, I have a different opinion."

Shi Tianze and Liu Bingzhong both looked at Zhang Rou at the same time.

"It is said that at this time, the conquest and recovery of Tongchuan Mansion is not the best time, the rebellion of Prince Abuligo is unsustainable, the imperial court should concentrate on completely quelling this rebellion, Shandong and Huaibei and other places, are not particularly stable, the imperial court should also attach great importance to it, so that these places are completely stable, at this time, what the imperial court needs most is stability, do not easily provoke trouble, Liu Yuanzhen, who is far away in Chengdu, cannot know these circumstances, and propose to conquer Tongchuan Mansion, It's nothing more than trying to prove his ability, Liu Yuanzhen has a big gap with his father Liu Heima after all, and he is eager to prove himself, which is understandable, but the Great Khan can see all this clearly... ”

Shi Tianze and Liu Bingzhong both had smiles on their faces, and the two glanced at each other.

After all, Zhang Rou was born as a military general, and she considered things too directly.

After Zhang Rou finished speaking, Shi Tianze followed up and spoke.

"General Zhang, I feel that Lord Liu's suggestion is correct, what General Zhang said is not only the Great Khan, but many people understand, but why the Great Khan does not have a clear attitude, there must be a deep meaning in this, as for what the Great Khan thinks, it is not something we can speculate."

Liu Bingzhong also added.

"Liu Yuanzhen always wants to prove that he is a Mongolian, but unfortunately, he can't achieve his goal, after Liu Heima died, Liu Yuanzhen implemented the hierarchy of Mongolians, Semu people and Han people in Chengdu Fulu, this hand shows that his heart is weak, Liu Heima controlled Chengdu Fulu, did not do such a thing at all, and did not get the complete trust of the Great Khan, now, Liu Yuanzhen may have thought of some threats, so he is anxious to make contributions and stabilize his position in Chengdu."

Zhang Rou's face flushed slightly, and she nodded in agreement.

"I'm a rough man, I've always been in the army, I can't think of so much, and I want to thank the two adults for reminding me, but this Liu Yuanzhen is doing well in Chengdu Mansion, why did he propose to conquer Tongchuan Mansion."

Liu Bingzhong smiled bitterly and spoke.

"General Zhang, Lord Shi is the deputy privy envoy, didn't such a big thing stimulate Liu Yuanzhen."

Zhang Rou slapped her thigh violently and suddenly realized.

"Alas, it's all my stupidity, and I'll ask the two adults for more guidance in the future."

"General Zhang, you are always thinking about establishing meritorious deeds, and have been paying attention to the situation of Chengdu Fulu, this time the opportunity is very good, I dare to conclude that Liu Yuanzhen will definitely encounter failure, and at that time, he will not be able to keep his position, at that time, Lord Liu and I, including Lord Zhang Wenqian, will find a way to recommend you to serve as the military and horse envoy of Chengdu Fulu...

This time, Zhang Rou didn't speak, and solemnly saluted Shi Tianze and Liu Bingzhong with her fists.

The next morning.

Zhang Wenqian, Liu Bingzhong and others all suggested that they should agree to the request of Liu Yuanzhen, the envoy of the Chengdu Prefecture Road Army.

Prime Minister Ahma still objected.

To everyone's surprise, Kublai Khan's most trusted prince, Brother Mo, also expressed his support for Liu Yuanzhen, believing that Liu Yuanzhen's breakthrough in Tongchuan Mansion would definitely make the Great Song Dynasty unpeaceful.

You must know that three days ago, Brother Mo was clearly opposed, but now he has expressed his support.

Kublai Khan, the Great Khan of Mongolia, also expressed his position and agreed to the request of Liu Yuanzhen, the envoy of the Chengdu Prefecture Road Army, and ordered Liu Yuanzhen to be the commander in chief and launch an attack on Tongchuan Mansion. (To be continued.) )
