The river is gentle and flows slowly. Perhaps it was the spring rains that began to rise the water level of the Yangtze River, which runs through the middle of the East Asian continent, and the waves flowed eastward into the sea.

On the left side of Jiangling Prefecture, on the north bank of the Yangtze River, a man in a purple official uniform was walking along the river with a group of people who looked like Great Song Dynasty officials. Behind is the personal guards of the brigade. On both sides of the Yangtze River are green rice fields, and Han farmers bring bamboo hats to plant seedlings in the fields to complete the sowing in time for the season before and after the spring rains. Even if the court officials of the Great Song Dynasty passed by, they couldn't disturb these humble farmers. Otherwise, I'll wait to be drowned by the imperial historians with a tide of bullets.

The purple-robed man is none other than Tejin (Zheng Erpinsan's official position), a bachelor of the Guanwen Palace, a right prime minister and privy envoy, and Jia Rudao, who is the Duke of Weiguo.

He walked slowly by the river, bowing his head and putting his hands behind his back thoughtfully. After a while, he stood in front of a cemetery surrounded by green pines and cypresses, staring blankly at this place where bones were buried.

This tomb is newly erected, there is an archway, there is a stone road, there is a stele pavilion, there is a small sacrificial hall, the specifications are not low, not ordinary people can enjoy. There is also a stone tablet in front of the tomb, which reads "The Tomb of the Great Mongolian Princess Baoyin Temur". Jia Rudao suddenly waved his hand, and all the people who followed behind him retreated. Only a handsome young man dressed as a scholar approached him.

This scholar is Li Cuixian pretending, she said in a low voice: "Shibo don't worry, the Mongolian side will not be too aggressive, the princess of the Golden Family is hundreds or thousands, and it is not worth anything at all, and this Baoyin is also a noble species, and there is also half of the Rus bloodline, which is not taken seriously." Otherwise, he wouldn't have been abandoned by Brother Mo in Moshi Ridge. ”

Jia Rudao sneered: "The old man will be afraid that the Mongols will pursue it?" If it weren't for your escape. The old man needs to spend so much time? After all, you are the daughter of Brother Shousong, if you let the people above find out your identity. It's hard to get it back. ”

"The people up there?" Li Cuixian frowned and said suddenly. "If my lord raises troops in Yidu, what will your one do?"

Above, of course, refers to Zhao Yun, an official of the Great Song Dynasty. This master has been a son of heaven for 35 years, what skills and problems do you have, who else in the world doesn't know? Counting on his northern expedition to the Central Plains is really a white man's dream!

Jia Rudao just smiled awkwardly, and only said after a while: "This matter must be cautious in the end...... The north is not as good as Sichuan, and the mountains are high and the water is dangerous, which is not conducive to the cavalry. The elite of our great Song Dynasty swept the north several times. They are all folded on the lack of available cavalry, and even if they succeed for a while, it will be difficult to last. ”

Li Cuixian squinted at Jia Rudao and said lightly: "Shibo, don't you really know how the Nantuochang victory came about?" ”

She didn't wait for Jia Yidao to speak, so she looked down and said, "I stayed in the military camp of the Thunderbolt Water Army for a while, and I really saw the means of that General Chen to train and lead the troops. In fact, it is not very difficult, it is simple, demagogic, and strict...... The atmosphere in the army is simple and does not seek luxury. Officers and men share hardships and have little contact with the outside world. In this way, it is convenient to use the saying of national righteousness and dying in battle to become immortals. Once the human heart is bewitched, it will no longer be afraid of hardship and death, and it will be able to endure strict training and discipline. I don't go overboard with money. This kind of soldier is actually similar to the Mongolian elite soldiers I know of Genghis Khan when he started, although the martial arts knights are not as good. But supplemented by heavenly thunder and strong crossbows, how can you not resist Mongolia? ”

Here's how it goes. But it is not easy to do, especially in the Great Song Dynasty, which was bound by 300 years of stereotypes and bad habits.

Jia Rudao smiled heavily. nodded lightly: "It's good that you know, I have all the "Drill Code" and "Regulations" for the training of the Thunderbolt Water Army, you can take it back to Brother Shousong to see, and let him also choose twenty or thirty thousand young people, find a secluded island to close and train the troops." If you can train an elite like 30,000 Thunderbolt Sailors, you will be invincible. The old man will also train troops in Jiangnan, and expand the army on the basis of the Perak Water Army, training at least 50,000 elites. In this way, the two of us join forces, but there are 80,000 elite soldiers, even if we can't restore the Central Plains, we can also let the land of Qilu return to the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"Train 80,000 elite soldiers...... How long does that take? Li Cuixian's expression was a little hesitant, although the training time of the Thunderbolt Navy Army was not long, but it was trained by Chen Dexing himself, and I am afraid that others will not have his ability, right? Moreover, the Thunderbolt Naval Army is still a naval army after all, and the Battle of Nantuochang is also dominated by water warfare, even if it is a land confrontation, it is infantry against infantry...... Or when the morale of the Mongol Han army almost collapsed. Such a victory will not be fought at all in the Northland Plain! Therefore, in Li Cuixian's view, the key to victory in the anti-Mongolian army is timing!

We must take advantage of the opportunity of the internal strife in Mongolia to raise troops, and we must not delay the emergence of a new Mongol Great Khan.

Jia seemed to be hauling, as if he was hiding some thoughts in his heart. It's just that the helplessness in his eyes can't fade away: "Cuixian, this is ...... Still can't be in a hurry! Prepare more. ”

It's useless to be in a hurry! Jia Rudao is not an official family of the Great Song Dynasty, and the 300-year-old store of the Great Song Dynasty has long lost the vigor of its early prosperity.

……

The horse's hooves rumbled like thunder. Hundreds of iron horsemen, but King Kublai Khan, who was surrounded by the commander-in-chief of the Great Mongolian State and the military affairs of Monan, walked in front.

Behind them, countless white banners rolled up, and an endless stream of iron horsemen followed. Kublai Khan's army finally returned to Yanjing City.

Behind Kublai Khan, in addition to the soldiers and horses of thousands of households in Southern Mongolia who were loyal to him under the name of the central Mongolian Ulus, the elite Mongolian soldiers and fierce generals of all walks of life in the name of the Tanma Red Army, and the elite foot soldiers of the Han Marquis from all walks of life in the north. The strongest force of the Great Mongol State was now concentrated under Kublai Khan. There were 120,000 foot cavalry, and the military resources were supplied by the northern Han land, although it was not abundant, but it was enough to support a long-term war.

The faces of every Mongolian soldier were gloomy, and the sound of golden drums and horns added a bit of solemnity. Everyone understands that their lord Kublai Khan has already suffered from the enemy, in the north there is his own brother Ali Buge, who is against him, and in the south there is the Han country that has just defeated the 300,000 southern invasion army of the Great Mongolian State and killed the Great Khan of Meng Ge - the Great Song Dynasty! If he can't fight quickly, King Kublai Khan will be crushed by the combined efforts of the two strong enemies in the north and south, even if he has great talent, he will only be crushed!

The eyes of countless people only followed the figure of Kublai Khan who walked ahead. The tall and burly body stood straight on the horse, and looked straight to the north without looking back. As if he was going to take his 120,000-strong army all the way north, go straight to Helin, and take away the throne of the Great Mongolian State from his younger brother Ali Buge!

Seeing their lord so firm and calm, the apprehension in everyone's hearts suddenly melted away a lot.

King Kublai Khan will definitely be able to defeat Ali Buge and become the Great Khan, and then lead everyone to rob the flower world of the Han people in Jiangnan!

At the front of the team, countless rangers just ran back and forth, bringing Yanjing around the world, constantly bringing over.

"King, the place where Yanjiao camped has been surveyed, and no Ali Buge's department has been found. The Yanjing Governor's Mansion has prepared the materials needed to set up camp, and as soon as the army arrives, it can set up camp! ”

"The king, the king of Tachar has crossed the old road of the Yellow River and is coming to Yanjing, there are about 20,000 soldiers and horses, all of them are the Mongolian army of the kings of the host, and the Yidu Han army has not been found to follow!"

Hearing the return, Kublai Khan just smiled: "Tachar An replied that he is not here to be my enemy, otherwise he will definitely ask Yidu Li Pu for help!" His tone suddenly sank, "This Li Pu has a good heart, but he has no guts." If I were Li Pu, I would send tens of thousands of elite strikes to Tachar, and I would be able to cut off my Great Mongolian arm first! ”

Yao Shu, a Han strategist beside him, interjected: "King, Li Pu must first contact the Southern Dynasty before he dares to make trouble, if the Southern Dynasty sends the Perak Navy to the north of Yidu, it will be a dangerous matter." Now it is necessary to first the north and then the south, showing favor to the southern dynasty. ”

Kublai Khan glanced at him lightly and said with a smile: "However, there is a Jia Dao in the Southern Dynasty!" If he hadn't given 3 million coins to the Western Route Army, why would Ali Buge fight with me? It would be nice if I also had a counselor like Jia Yidao by my side. ”

He looked at the group of Confucian scholars around him, and asked with a smile, "Which of you can be my Jia Nidao?" ”

The northern place name Ru Hao Jing crossed his hands on horseback and said: "The subordinates are willing to go to the Southern Dynasty to meet the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Dynasty again!" ”

"Oh? Hao Jing, what do you want to say to Jia Yidao? ”

Hearing Kublai Khan's inquiry, Hao Jing smiled and said, "The minister wants to go and propose marriage for the young master of Zhenjin." ”

Zhenjin is the eldest son of Kublai Khan, now sixteen years old, raised by Yao Shu, Dou Mo, Wang Sui and other northern Han Confucians, polite, familiar with Confucian classics, and is considered by a vote of northern traitors to be the most suitable candidate for the throne of Kublai Khan.

"To whom?" Kublai Khan hesitated for a moment and asked.

"Propose marriage to the Nanban official family," Hao Jing said with a smile, "I heard that the Nanban official family has only one daughter, fifteen years old, and has not yet been married. ”

"Let Zhenjin marry a Han girl as a wife?" Kublai Khan's face was slightly gloomy, of course, there was no shortage of bright colors of various ethnic groups in the harem of the Mongolian king, but the wives were all the daughters of Mongolian nobles without exception. Moreover, the Mongolian tradition is the system of succession (not the eldest son), and generally only the sons of the main wife are eligible to inherit the throne or the throne. If Zhenjin marries the princess of the Southern Song Emperor, then there is a risk that the throne of the Great Khan of Mongolia will fall into the hands of a prince with half Han Chinese blood.

Even, this princess of the Han people of the Southern Dynasty may be like Naima Zhenhou and Hai Lost!

Facing Kublai Khan's gloomy gaze, Hao Jing only smiled slightly: "King, Han women are weak and may not be able to adapt to the cold wind and cold in the north, and it is not strange if they are not accustomed to the water and soil...... and die early" (to be continued...... R1292
