Just when Chen Dexing was busy acting as a maritime merchant and Jiangnan industrial and commercial thug in order to fill his pocket with money forever—and before he knew it, Chen Dexing seemed to have the possibility of becoming the spokesman of the emerging bourgeoisie—what was most of the masters of the Central Plains, the Great Yuan Emperor, the Mongol Great Khan Kublai Khan, busy with?

This big boss who bulldozed the Southern Song Dynasty in history, although he is not very happy in this time and space, it has not yet reached the point of giving up on himself, eating and waiting for death.

Kublai Khan is Kublai Khan after all, and he is still arrogant after all, and he is still making the last effort for the rule of the Great Mongolian State in the Central Plains!

Kaifeng Mansion, the imperial city.

The Great Yuan Emperor Kublai Khan was sitting upright on a high gilded throne, dressed in a white leather robe and wearing a Mongolian-style felt hat on his head. After the Battle of Hebei-Yanyun, Kublai Khan reverted to the dress of the Mongols and no longer pretended to be the emperor of China. Because he knew very well that after the Great Mongolia plundered Hebei and made a lot of conquests against Henan and Shaanxi, the Han people in the Central Plains had long since rejected the Great Yuan. Besides, now that they have two Han regimes to choose from, the Ming Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, who will recognize the Tartars?

It seems that Ali Buge also has the right place, the root of the Mongols is the steppe after all!

However, it is obviously unwilling for the Mongols to give up the flowers and rivers of the Central Plains in this way. And in the past summer, Kublai Khan led the Mongolian people to great victories one after another!

The first victory was to exterminate the rebellion of the Wang family on Gongchang Road! Completely exterminate the Wang family who dared to betray Great Mongolia! The entire Gongchang City has been razed to the ground, and the Wang family, except for a few people such as Wang Dechen, who took refuge in Li Pu. Either he was killed in battle or was escorted to Jingzhao Mansion as a prisoner. Wang Dechen's younger brother, Wang Liangchen, is now being tied up and taken to the palace of the Mongol Great Khan. Waiting for the delivery!

The second victory, of course, was the capture of Bozhou, the road city of Suncheon Road. Zhang Rou's eighth son, Zhang Hongluo, and Shi Tianze's nephew, Shi Ji, jointly led the troops to guard there, protecting the Shi family and the Zhang family. But now. Zhang Hongluo and Shi Ji have also been tied up and sent to the palace of the Great Khan, waiting for Kublai Khan's fall.

Liu Xiaoyuan, the most trusted adviser of the Great Khan, who successfully made the military power of the Northern Ming temporarily turn the spearhead of the attack to the south, looked at Kublai Khan cautiously, Xue Chan Khan's face was gloomy, it seemed that only the blood of the enemy could soothe his anger, and the huge coercion made the entire hall silent, and only the sound of "tick tick" water droplets came softly. It was the sweat from the faces of the three sinners who knelt down and waited for their hair to fall, dripping onto the smooth floor tiles.

But the will to kill was not given for a long time!

Liu Xiaoyuan knows. The Great Khan was angry, and not only because he had seen three heinous thieves. Also because of a piece of bad news from the north. Several Mongol tribes who were nomadic in the Mongolian steppes south of Helin encountered a group of elite cavalry claiming to be the Cowardly Xue Army, and their equipment was exactly the same as that of the Cowardly Xue Army, each of them equipped with at least three horses, a dozen carts accompanying them, and a token issued by the Mongol Great Khan. There is no difference from the authentic cowardice, so the road is unimpeded.

Until it was discovered that they had left the territory of the Central Ulus and entered the territory of the Ogedai Ulus. Only then did I realize that something was wrong. It was quickly reported to Helin and Jingzhao Mansion, and after some investigation, it was discovered that this cavalry was likely to come from Eastern Mongolia and march west along the Kullun River!

Other words. Most likely, they came from Chen's control area! The purpose of their westward journey was most likely to contact a sinister Western Daozong king and ask him to light a fire in the backyard of the Great Mongolian Kingdom!

This must have been Kublai Khan's greatest fear. Not one of them!

Losing to the Northern Ming in the east was not fatal to Kublai Khan, because Kublai Khan was not just the Great Yuan Emperor. Or the Great Khan of the Great Mongolia. The land it owns is incomparably vast, and theoretically it is neighboring to Tianzhu, Flynn and Egypt. As long as the hundreds of thousands of Mongol troops in his hands are still there. And armed with advanced H medicine, then Tianzhu, Egypt, and Flynn will all be left to the Mongolian Great Khan.

But in case a certain king of the Western Dao gets the H medicine weapon and Nanfen steel from Chen Dexing, then a Khan king who can challenge the Mongol Khan throne will quickly rise in the west! This was tantamount to a catastrophe for Kublai Khan, who encountered great difficulties in the east!

In the face of this impending catastrophe, Kublai Khan had only two choices: one was to launch the Western Expedition as soon as possible, and leave the Central Plains, a land of right and wrong, while Chen Dexing was stranded in the south and did not return, and the Northern Ming army was busy expanding and training—of course, in the name of the Western Expedition, not being driven out of the Central Plains.

The second is to make a desperate bet and fight again. The enemy, of course, is Beiming! As long as the Northern Ming is defeated, all problems will not be a problem! However, with Kublai Khan's own strength, I am afraid that he will not be able to win or even fight! In last year's Battle of Hebei-Yanyun, Kublai Khan lost at least 80,000 troops, of which 60,000 were Mongols! In particular, the lesson of the defeat at the Daqing River was too profound, and now the Mongols under Kublai Khan were afraid of fighting the Northern Ming again. Unless Kublai Khan could cobble together a powerful anti-Chen Ming alliance...... And the other two sides of this alliance can only be Li Tang and Zhao Song!

But how easy is it to cobble together such a grand alliance? Zhao Song said that they had long colluded with Mongolia openly and secretly. However, the contradiction between Li Pu and Kublai Khan was very large, and there was no trust at all. On the contrary, Chen Dexing is Li Pu's son-in-law, Chen Ming's heir is Li Pu's grandson, and Li Cuixian, who is now in power in Yanjing Regency, is Li Pu's biological daughter......

Kublai Khan wanted to gain Li Pu's trust, but I am afraid it will not be easy!

The only feasible way is to follow the path of Shi Tianze, Zhang Rou and Wang Dechen. Then, Wang Liangchen, Shi Ji and Zhang Hongluo can't be killed. But Kublai Khan shouted and shouted to kill smoothly before, and now everyone has caught it and said that if he doesn't kill, it seems that the change is too fast, and he goes back on his word, for fear that his subordinates will not be convinced. So Kublai Khan could only keep his face gloomy and not speak, looking like he wanted to kill or not, probably waiting for someone to find a reason not to kill him, right?

Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoyuan took a few steps forward, walked to the side of the three unlucky people who were kneeling on the ground and waiting for death, first saluted Kublai Khan, and then pointed to the three people beside him, "Great Khan, these three people are indeed unforgivable, even if they are cut with a thousand knives, it is difficult to atone for their sins!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the three people kneeling on the ground all scolded Liu Xiaoyuan in their hearts, and scolded his eighteenth generation of ancestors. Kublai Khan's brows were twisted, and he looked angry, but he was actually blaming Liu Xiaoyuan for not being able to speak.

"But," Liu Xiaoyuan paused, and the conversation had already turned. "In the past few years, my Great Mongolia has fought hard against the pseudo-Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, and the Mongolian warriors have ...... and how many powerful depleted prisoners. It is said that there are already tens of thousands! These tens of thousands of people are the essence of Mongolia, the warriors of the Great Khan, and they cannot be abandoned in any way. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Xiaoyuan paused again, raised his eyes and secretly looked at Kublai Khan, only to see that the Mongolian Great Khan's brows had been loosened, and he was still nodding frequently, with a reluctant expression on his face. It seems that he really cares about the Mongols who were captured by Chen Dexing as slaves.

Liu Xiaoyuan also looked unbearable, and sighed: "I heard that these Mongolian warriors would rather die than surrender, and they are all good sons of my Great Mongolia!" Great Khan, let's exchange them with the people of the Wang family, the Shi family, and the Zhang family. How is it? ”

This reason to find the porcelain real!

Kublai Khan nodded appreciatively, this Liu Xiaoyuan is really the minister of the humerus! His gaze swept to the side.

Baturu and An Tong's father and son had already understood, and stood up together and hugged their fists and said: "The ministers are also in favor of not killing the people of the Wang family, the Shi family, and the Zhang family for the time being, and use them to exchange for the warriors of my Great Mongolia." ”

Baturu is now the supreme magistrate of the Great Mongolian State, that is, the prime minister. His sixteen-year-old son was Kublai Khan's cowardly Xue Chang! The father and son were favored like this, and naturally became the leaders of the Mongolian ministers and the ministers of the court. Seeing that the two of them advocated not killing the Wang family, the Shi family, and the Zhang family, others naturally stood up and agreed.

Since everybody says so. Kublai Khan nodded reluctantly and said, "Since everyone said so, then don't kill them for the time being." ”

Wang Liangchen, Shi Ji and Zhang Hongluo, who were kneeling below, breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and their bodies were weak, and they all collapsed on the cold floor tiles.

"Since you want to exchange them for the warriors of the Great Mongolia, someone needs to send an envoy." Kublai Khan's majestic gaze swept over, and the heads of the ministers were lowered to their chests. It seems dangerous to go on a mission these days! Earlier, they folded the real golden prince, Hao Jing, and Dou Mo, and now there is another Pu Shougeng who has also broken things, and it is estimated that he is also dead!

Kublai Khan's gaze finally fell on Liu Xiaoyuan, and this matter ...... As if there was only one thing to count on him! At least this humerus minister is clever enough, and no matter how dangerous the Longtan Tiger's Den, he can come back alive.

Liu Xiaoyuan had already felt Kublai Khan's ardent expectation, and he did not shirk it, and said as soon as he hugged his fists: "Great Khan, the minister is willing to send an envoy." ”

There was an envoy to the Eastern Tang Dynasty, but someone had to go to the Great Song Dynasty. Kublai Khan said in a deep voice: "The Great Song Dynasty still owes me an explanation for the matter of Pu Shougeng, and he has to send someone to ask." ”

This time, Kublai Khan's eyes did not look at others, but stared at Liu Xiaoyuan's uncle Liu Bingzhong. He once went to the Great Song Dynasty and returned safely. Then it's better to trouble him again!

"Minister, please send an envoy to the Great Song Dynasty!" Liu Bingzhong is also exquisite, and of course he has already seen what Kublai Khan is thinking at this time - Pu Shougeng, a small businessman, how can he bother himself, the prime minister of the Great Yuan?

Now at this time, it is already a critical moment for the four countries of the Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties to compete for hegemony! And the strength of Daming has been revealed! Relying on any of the three kingdoms of Tang, Song and Yuan was not enough to deal with this powerful enemy. The only way is the Triple Alliance, first knock Da Ming out of the game, and then stage a Three Kingdoms War! (To be continued......)
