Chapter 680: All the way to the west

Hearing Kublai Khan's question, Liu Xiaoyuan just smiled bitterly, and his face became solemn.

Uh, of course! He is a man with secrets, and his secret is a mission, which is to fool Kublai Khan into the Pharaoh of Kublai Khan - in fact, it is a source of disaster!

The Land of the Three Rivers is just the second stop of Kublai Khan's journey to the west (the first stop is the territory of Xinjiang in later China), and there is still a slow journey ahead.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoyuan sighed: The situation is very bad! Kublai Khan lost the Central Plains, and he was a pseudo-Great Khan, and Bei'er Ge and Hai would definitely not allow him, and most of the four kings of the host who refused to go west in the Hetao also hated Kublai Khan to death. The only one who had a good relationship with Kublai Khan was Hülegü, who occupied the Persian eclipse. However, the "relationship" between Hülegü and Kublai Khan also had a deep rift because of the death of Ali Buge.

After sighing and satisfying Kublai Khan's appetite, Liu Xiaoyuan said lightly: "Actually, Brother Bei'er, Hülegü and Haidu are not the opponents of the Great Khan, as long as the Great Khan can implement the 'Ming Law' in the Three Rivers system and reform the military system, even the three Khans are not the opponents of the Great Khan." Moreover, among the three sweats, Brother Bei'er and Hulegu were on the same footing, fighting fiercely for many years. And although Brother Bei'er and Haidu have a good relationship, the Heavenly Sect that Brother Bei'er worships and the Heavenly Taoism that Haidu worships are also intolerable. The Three Khans may join forces at the Kuritai Conference, but it is difficult to unite on the battlefield. The Great Khan could have broken them all. ”

"Break each one, I think so too." Kublai Khan frowned and said, "Liu Qing, do you think it's better for us to break down first?" ”

"Sarai's Golden Horde, of course!" Liu Xiaoyuan said.

"Brother Don't?" Kublai Khan was stunned for a moment, he originally thought that Liu Xiaoyuan would suggest that Hulegu be beaten first - among the three khans. Although Haidu is the weakest, it has Chen Dexing's support. It's not easy to beat. And Brother Bei'er is the strongest, and he is better than the sea. It seems that it is not easy to destroy. It's Hulegu that's easier to deal with!

On the one hand, Hulegu's roots in Persia and Dashi were relatively shallow, and the Mongols had only established rule there for a few years, and the resistance of the Tianfang Sect was still very strong; On the other hand, Hülegü had a deep contradiction with Belge, and he was at war with the Mamluks in Western Egypt, so it can be said that he was attacked on his back and shoulder, and it should be relatively easy to take.

"The Golden Horde is not easy to deal with!" Kublai Khan shook his head. "It has been forty years since the Golden Horde was founded in Jochi and grew from Batu to Batu. The nomadic people of the Kipchak steppes were already one of the Golden Horde. The warriors under the command of Brother Bei'er are only afraid of no less than 200,000! The Rus' kingdoms to the west were also conquered. Moreover, the territory under the jurisdiction of the Golden Horde is vast, and if the war is unfavorable, it may be gone. ”

The Golden Horde was a steppe country at its roots, and it could run if it couldn't be defeated, and it could get supplies from the Rus' states to the west, so it was easy for the war to go on for a long time.

Liu Xiaoyuan shook his head slowly, "Just destroy Sarai, slaughter the Kipchak steppe, and teach the Golden Horde a lesson." ”

"Immortalize the Golden Horde?" Kublai Khan frowned slightly.

"I can't extinguish it!" Liu Xiaoyuan paused, and then said word by word. "Because there is a Ming Dynasty! The Ming Dynasty will not allow me to destroy the Golden Tent and swallow the sea. If the Great Khan stays in Kipchak for a long time, the sea capital will come from Mongolia! Maybe...... There will also be a Ming army to follow! ”

"Haidu, this rebellion!" Kublai Khan scolded angrily. However, he still nodded and agreed with Liu Xiaoyuan's analysis.

Haidu occupied Mongolia, and was unable to invade the Han land in the south. In fact, it relies on the Ming snort. If you want to get out of such a predicament, there is only one way - to seize the rich land of the three rivers and use the wealth of the three rivers to feed the grassland.

Therefore, Haidu will definitely find a way to invade the three rivers!

Liu Xiaoyuan continued: "The Great Khan attacked Sarai in the north. Hülegü must be happy to see it happen, and the Great Khan can break Sarai first. Negotiate peace with Brother Bei'er again. ”

Fight first, and then negotiate peace! In this way, the Golden Horde will be able to dissipate for at least a few years.

"And then?" Kublai Khan asked again.

"Negotiate peace with Haidu again!"

"What!?" Kublai Khan was stunned when he heard this. He almost fell off his horse. "And Haidu's rebellious peace?"

"Yes," Liu Xiaoyuan nodded, "You can cede places such as Beshbali, Hamili, Alimari, and Hai Abli." ”

"And mow the land!?" Kublai Khan was stunned and stunned, "Why? ”

"Nature is for the west!"

"To the west?" Kublai Khan said, "Where to go?" ”

Although the Khanate of Hulagu (already dead) blocked Kublai Khan's westward advance, the Ilkhanate was located in the south.

"To Syria, to Egypt, to Flynn." Liu Xiaoyuan said.

He is still faithfully fulfilling Chen Dexing's entrustment and fooling Kublai Khan into an Egyptian pharaoh!

"Why?" Kublai Khan shook his head, not quite understanding.

"In order to avoid the Ming Dynasty's soldiers!" Liu Xiaoyuan sighed, "Chen Dexing is so happy, compared to the Han Wu Tang Xuan, it is much better, and now there is the gold and silver of Mingzhou, and he has taken the rich land of Jiangnan, and he has also subdued Haidu with Tiandaoism." Now that he is not short of money, he is not short of moving west, he is not short of people, and he is not short of ambition, how can he not launch a westward expedition? Didn't he declare in the Three Classics of Heaven that he would use the rites of China to educate the whole world? He probably can't reach this whole world or something. But he can still reach the land of the Western Regions of the Han and Tang Dynasties...... It's just a matter of time. Therefore, the Great Khan was only a temporary residence in the land of the Three Rivers, and he would still develop westward in the future. ”

Or do you want to run away? Kublai Khan was depressed, why was he so unlucky? It's just that he was born in the same era as a rather effective half-immortal! In fact, he is no worse than Chen Dexing in terms of ruthlessness and martial arts. But helplessly, Chen Dexing is a half-immortal, how can this be dealt with?

"Transient Residence...... How juvenile? Kublai Khan asked thoughtfully. Listening to this question, you will know that he is ready to become the pharaoh of Egypt.

"Ten years," Liu Xiaoyuan was silent for a moment, and then said, "Middle-earth has been in war for many years, and it has been endless for decades. Ten years of recuperation is always a must...... That's the Khan's chance. ”

"Ten years?" Kublai Khan smiled bitterly, he will be 60 years old in ten years, and he will be a mourning dog again, he is really obedient in his life!

……

In this time and space, Kublai Khan is definitely not the only old man who is obedient because of Chen Dexing. Not long ago, Jia Nidao, who became a loyal minister, is counted as one, and Jia Nidao's brother-in-law, Emperor Taishang of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Yun, is also one.

He is still in the Longevity Palace in Hongdu City, and the political atmosphere in Hongdu City is called bleak if there is one word to describe it. This place has not yet been occupied by the Ming army - the entire Jiangnan West Road, now this lonely Hongdu City is still the Great Song Dynasty, and other places have belonged to the Ming Dynasty.

And Zhao Yu, the official of the Great Song Dynasty, Jiang Wanli, the military and state affairs of Pingzhang, as well as the important civil and military officials, as well as nearly 60,000 people in the main force of Ganyong, and more than 100,000 "righteous people", have all fled. However, there are still people who stay with Zhao Yun, all of them are old guys who are too old to leave, and there are people like No. 1 or Twenty in each yamen to maintain them.

And Zhao Yun didn't care what he was, he was too emperor, and a series of holy decrees went down, and the old guys who stayed behind were all crowned high-ranking officials. actually made up a court with all the officials - but this court is useless, except for a panicked Hongdu City, there is nothing to do.

However, the most interesting thing happened in Zhao Yun's harem, Tang An'an, the head of the red line who had accompanied him for many years, actually achieved positive results and gave him a crown princess! This matter has to be put aside, I really don't know how many officials will write to the book, but now no one cares.

Anyway, the Great Song Dynasty is almost gone...... Oh, it's not nothing, Da Song still has it, and it's very likely to become two!

One of them, Song is slowly heading to Dali, and now he may have arrived somewhere on Jinghu South Road. And the other Song, who is coming to Hongdu at this time, is led by a woman!

In the Hongdu Longevity Palace, where the pattern and style are small, the appearance of the Emperor Zhao Yun is actually good-I don't know if it's because I'm about to see my baby daughter or because I have "power" again.

He was sitting on a soft couch, and there was a beautiful woman Tang An'an waiting beside him, holding a ginseng soup in his hand - of course, it was the best Korean ginseng that Zhao Lin'er sent to him, there were many of these things in Chen Dexing's Palace, but no one ate them. Zhao Lin'er picked it all and sent it to her father. In addition, there are pearls from Liaodong, leather goods from Changbai Mountain, sea cucumbers in the Northeast Sea, and all kinds of good things are sent to Zhao Yun in baskets. Even if the two countries are exchanging troops, the messengers who send things are still going to Hongdu!

So...... The bowl of ginseng soup in Zhao Yun's hand also added cocoa powder...... It is a cocoa-flavored ginseng soup! However, it is much better than the spicy ginseng soup that Tang Anan made a few days ago. In addition, corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes have all been tasted by Zhao Yun.

"Taishang, Taishang," there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the house, and then there was the cry of the male duck's voice, this was Zhao Yun's henchman eunuch Dong Songchen came. "Her Royal Highness the princess has already led the army to twenty miles outside Hongdu City!"

A figure flashed at the door of the room, and he saw Dong Songchen, who had gray hair and was dressed as an internal servant, walking in with a happy face and kneeling in front of Zhao Yun.

"Taishang, the concubine body also congratulates you." Tang Anan also got up with a smile and said.

Looking at Zhao Yun again, he was even more smiling so much that he couldn't close his mouth - his daughter is the king, don't think Zhao Yun will really oppose this! After all, this daughter is closer than her nephew, if it weren't for the ancestral system of the Great Song Dynasty and the Chinese tradition, he would have made Zhao Lin'er the imperial concubine!

As for the Chinese co-dominance of the Great Song Dynasty, it was replaced by the Ming Dynasty...... It's only a matter of time! Zhao Yun had already been mentally prepared, after the fiasco of Duanping and Luo, he knew that the Great Song Dynasty was going to end, and the question was who was in the hands of the end, and what would happen in the end.

Now it doesn't seem too bad. (To be continued......)
