Chapter 131: Envoy to Tibet

Since Genghis Khan was in Lingzhou, Genghis Khan announced before his death that he would pass on the throne to his third son, Wokotai, but according to tradition, the Khan's election to the throne must be formally elected by the Kuriltai Assembly before he can ascend to the throne and govern the country. Therefore, since the death www.biquge.info of Genghis Khan, Tuo Lei has supervised the affairs of the country and handled the affairs of the empire as a great man.

After returning to Mongolia, Genghis Khan was also quite shocked by the defeat of Baoqing in Lizhou for three years, Genghis Khan was also quite shocked by the failure of the Song Dynasty to attack Jin, after careful consideration, he no longer dared to underestimate the strength of the Southern Song Dynasty, before he died, he left the famous strategy of destroying gold, Genghis Khan before his death, he recruited Wo Kotai, Tuo Lei and others to the bed, and said to them: Jin Jingbing is in Tongguan, the south is based on the mountains, and the north is limited to the big river, which is difficult to break. If the false way is in the Song Dynasty, the Song and Jin feuds will be able to allow me, then send troops to Tang and Deng, and go straight to the beam. Jin is anxious, must be conscripted in Tongguan, but with tens of thousands of people, thousands of miles to help, people and horses are tired, although to the Fu can fight, it must be broken.

This also laid the foundation of the Mongol alliance with the Southern Song Dynasty and the policy of destroying the Jin together, but Tuo Lei still could not let go of the defeat in the hands of the Song army, so during his imprisonment, in addition to continuing to send troops to the west, in addition to completing the great plan of Genghis Khan's incomplete expedition to the west in the early years, he also began to concentrate his forces and fight against the Jin State.

Although the Jin State declined, after Jin Aizong ascended the throne, he deliberately formed a good alliance with the Southern Song Dynasty, concentrated elite troops, and resisted the invasion of the Mongolian army, and for a time it was also on a par with the Mongolian army, especially after he enabled the famous general Wanyan Chen Monk at the end of Jin, under the leadership of Wanyan Chen Monk, he also won several victories in the Mongolian war, and the two sides fought inextricably north of the Yellow River, so that the Mongolian side had no way to take the Jin State for a while.

At this time, Tuo Lei also began to realize that if he wanted to completely solve the Jin State, without the help of the Southern Song Dynasty, I am afraid that it would be difficult for them to complete this arduous project in a short time, so he also began to change his attitude towards the Southern Song Dynasty.

What they didn't expect was that when their envoys slept all the way and ventured into the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty, the rulers of the Southern Song Dynasty had already been replaced by Gao Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan had just dealt with some major events after the mutiny, when he heard the news of the Mongolian envoy's arrival, he didn't even think about it, so he ordered the Mongolian envoy to be driven back.

For Gao Huaiyuan's decision, the government and the opposition officials also agreed, after all, the Mongols are really not things, they first tried to annex the land of Jingdong, and then led the army to attack Lizhou and plunder, plus Gao Huaiyuan has used the people's newspapers to continuously promote the wolf ambitions of the Mongols over the years, and now the Southern Song Dynasty basically recognizes a fact, that is, the Mongols must not be with each other, once they form an alliance to deal with the Jin State, in the end it will definitely be the same as a hundred years ago, and the Mongols will suffer after the destruction of Jin.

Therefore, on the issue of dealing with the Mongols, at this time, the officials and civilians of the Southern Song Dynasty basically reached a consensus, that is, they should use the Jinping Song Dynasty and not associate with the Mongols.

After Gao Huaiyuan regained power, he immediately ordered Jingdong to once again severely blockade and prohibit anyone from trading with the Mongols, and at the same time ordered his brother Gao Huailiang to prepare a large-scale sailor in Haizhou, mobilize shipbuilders from the south to go north, and vigorously build all kinds of warships based on Haizhou and Banqiao Town, Mizhou, and strengthen the interception of some merchants in the Southern Song Dynasty who tried to trade with the Mongols by sea from the sea. In this way, it was an effective blow to and deterred the Mongols from obtaining more resources.

After the Dinghai Incident, he sent Li Ruohu to lead a cavalry to attack the Tibetan tribes, severely punishing the Tibetan tribes who provided convenience to the Mongolian army along the way, and achieved the first victory over the Tibetan tribes in the military aspect, and dealt a heavy blow to the pro-Mongolian Tibetan forces, so that they began to realize that the Southern Song Dynasty was not easy to provoke, and the Mongolian army entered the battle of Lizhou and returned, so that the leaders of the Tibetan tribes also realized that the Mongolian army could not necessarily beat the Song army. If they moved closer to the Mongols, they would probably incur retaliation from the Southern Song Dynasty.

Therefore, the Tibetan tribes began to change their policy of despising the Southern Song Dynasty, and took the initiative to relax the restrictions on the export of war horses in the Southern Song Dynasty, so as to show goodwill to the Southern Song Dynasty, and also alleviated the demand for war horses in the Southern Song Dynasty to a certain extent.

Gao Huaiyuan sat in the lobby of the Privy Council, looked at the recital written by Yue Kun for him, nodded again and again, and said with a smile to Jia Qi, who was sitting in his lower position: Yue Kun's recital is here! Li Ruohu, this kid really lives up to my expectations! Hehe!

Jia Qi caught Gao Huaiyuan's words very interestingly and asked Gao Huaiyuan: I don't know what Ruohu has done now to make the lord so happy?

Gao Huaiyuan continued: This kid is now awarded the post of the commander of the soldiers and horses in the Jiezhou, in the Jiezhou to flee into the Song Dynasty of the Western Xia people, formed a team of 3,000 elite cavalry, in order to fight against the pro-Mongolian forces of the Tubo tribes, he came up with a bad idea, actually took turns to take turns to disguise these cavalry under his command, disguised as Mongolian rangers, quietly scattered into the territory of Tubo, and constantly plundered the small tribes of the Tubo people, in order to fight against the pro-Mongolian forces of the Tubo tribes, and also played a role in training, and then obtained more war horses, A lot of cattle and sheep were plundered to enrich the army, haha! This kid really dares to think and dare to do it! Not bad! To my taste! Just do this, let the Tibetan people know that the Mongolian Tatars are not easy to meet!

After hearing this, Judge immediately laughed: Hehe! It seems that Ruohu is really doing well! This is also the result of the good use of the Lord's knowledge! If the tiger has today, it can be said that it is all because of the cultivation of the lord!

Less slap my ass! Tell me what I told you to do earlier! How much do you know about the situation in Tibet, give me ideas, and see how to solve the affairs of Tibet! After Gao Huaiyuan put down the report handed by Yue Kun, he scolded Jia Qi with a smile.

Jia Qi also immediately laughed, and after a while, he said to Gao Huaiyuan: I have investigated a lot of things about Tubo during this time, and since the collapse of the Tubo Dynasty, it has been divided into countless large and small forces, and I think that it is better for us to find a way to support a force, make it stronger, and gradually unify the Tubo tribes, this force that we have fostered will also be used by me, if it is done well, it is likely that Tubo will be incorporated into the jurisdiction of our court, in this way, If the Mongolian Tatars want to get their hands on Tibet, I'm afraid it won't be so easy!

Good! That's what I want! Let's think of it together! Tubo must not let the Mongolian Tartars go, once the Tibetan is lost, then I will open the door to the west of Sichuan, and Dali will also be exposed to the Mongolian Tartar soldiers, the Mongolian Tartars want to capture Sichuan, they will start from Dali, with the strength of Dali, by no means the opponent of the Mongolian Tartars, Dali will be lost, we Sichuan will no longer be in danger to defend! This will be a disaster for us Han people!

Instead of sticking to it, it is better to take the initiative to attack, while the Mongols are still fighting with the Jin State during this time, we must take advantage of the weakness as soon as possible and control the Tibetan into our hands, so that we will have no worries in the west! All that remains is for us to concentrate our forces, recover the Central Plains, and then face off against the Mongol Tatars!

You're getting better and better! Not bad! That's it!

But can you find out who our best collaborator should be in this matter? We can't just choose a force to support!

Judge touched the mustache on his chin and replied proudly: Of course! Judging from the news sent back by our people, I think it is more appropriate to send it to the Sakya sect!

Gao Huaiyuan immediately nodded and said: Yes, what we think is basically the same, let's talk about your plan!

Jia Qi then took out a Chen strip in his sleeve and put it in front of Gao Huaiyuan, Gao Huaiyuan opened it and watched it carefully, kept stroking his beard, and nodded again and again.

When Gao Huaiyuan and Jia Qi and some ministers of the court and the central government after some careful discussion, unified the idea of annexing Tibet, after all, this matter is for the Southern Song Dynasty, it is a major event to expand the territory, even in the strongest period of the Northern Song Dynasty, they have never thought of annexing Tubo to the territory, so this matter is very exciting for these ministers in power, and after Gao Huaiyuan explained to them, they also realized the importance of the geographical location of Tubo for the Southern Song Dynasty to defend against the Mongol army. Wei Liaoweng and other far-sighted ministers also admired Gao Huaiyuan's foresight in this regard, so they unanimously agreed with Gao Huaiyuan's suggestion.

With the support of these ministers, and Hua Yue and other military generals carefully analyzed the information obtained from the Mongolian side, they came to a conclusion that the Mongols had not yet elected Ogedai as king, so there would be no large-scale conflict between the Song and Mongolia in a short period of time, and even if there were, it could only be concentrated in the Jingdong area, and the Mongolian side of Tuo Lei and Wokotai and others, now that they have sent envoys to try to talk with the Southern Song Dynasty again, it also means that they do not want to continue to have bad relations with the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Jin State is unable to find trouble with the Southern Song Dynasty now, In this way, the Southern Song Dynasty will gain a period of calm, and it is just right to use this time to solve the problem of Tibet.

Gao Huaiyuan finally made up his mind, and immediately began to make intensive preparations, and he, Hua Yue and others combined with Jia Qi's intelligence system to formulate such a plan.
