General Buhua calmly sat in the palace and chatted with his family while having breakfast. What Tigu Dieer said was to let General Buhua's relatives be hostages, but in fact, General Buhua was placed under house arrest together. It can be seen that General Buhua's family is very uneasy, not only because of the captivity, but also because the sound of gunfire from outside the city makes these people overwhelmed.

Tigu Dieer didn't want to make things difficult for the general, so he and his family were placed under house arrest, and there was enough food. This breakfast was eaten from morning to morning, and no one came in to blame. General Buhua poured himself a third bowl of goat's milk, and was considering whether to drink it regardless of the volume of his stomach. The general's son asked, "Father, what's the sound outside?" I don't think it's like a firecracker. ”

General Buhua didn't speak, just put the raised bowl back on the table. Just then, footsteps were heard outside. The door that had been locked from the outside opened, and the herald stood outside the door and said, "General Buhua, Ilkhan is invited." ”

Patting his son on the shoulder, General Buhua got up and followed the herald away. Outside the house arrest room, the sound of gunfire became clearer. Although the number of muskets and artillery rewarded by Kublai Khan in the Ilkhanate was small, the nobles were not unseen. Don't take the general to walk fast, so that you can hear more clearly. Such a dense sound of gunfire had never been heard of in the Ilkhanate, let alone imagined. Even General Buhua felt a little throbbing.

Seeing that General Buhua was left behind, the herald stopped, turned around and called: "General Buhua, the Great Khan is still waiting." ”

"Oh." General Buhua replied and continued to move forward. Tigu Dieer was not in the palace, and General Buhua followed the herald out of the palace gate, and it didn't take long to arrive near Beicheng. From a distance, I saw Tigu Dieer shouting at the generals. When I looked up, I saw all kinds of smoke and dust rising from the city wall not far away, and occasionally cannonballs fell to the ground over the city wall. Screams were heard near the landing point.

Seeing General Buhua coming, those generals immediately had their spirits. Tigu Dieer quickly rushed to General Buhua's side, and saw him shouting at General Buhua with a hideous face: "Quickly order these people to go up and defend the city!" ”

General Buhua did not answer immediately. Tigu Dieer's embarrassment made him feel relieved, but he was still surrounded by Tigu Dieer's men and horses at this time, and he didn't dare to laugh out loud.

Seeing that General Buhua did not react, Tigu Dieer said angrily: "Give the order now!" ”

"What the hell is going on in the city?" The general finally spoke.

Tiegu Dieer was completely enraged by this calm attitude, he glared at General Buhua, and said angrily: "Just go up to the city and take a look." ”

After hearing this, General Buhua did not speak, turned around and walked on the road to the upper city. Tigu Dieer didn't expect General Buhua to be so decisive, and was stunned for a moment before signaling to his subordinates. The four subordinates who were sticking to Gu Die'er hurriedly pressed their swords and half-surrounded General Buhua. Among the generals who refused to lead their troops to the city, there was a voice of unknown significance.

Some of these people were the subordinates of the Buhua generals, and some were traditional Mongol elites who were dissatisfied with Tigudir's policy of making the True God Cult the state religion of the Ilkhanate. Others followed the policies of Hulegu and Abha, the two Ilhans, and remained steadfast in their loyalty to Kublai Khan. Kublai Khan's army began to attack the city, and these people had different starting points, but they all chose to be unwilling to defend the city.

At this time, seeing General Buhua being brought out by Tigu Dieer's men, these generals probably guessed something. Seeing that General Buhua was escorted to the city again, these generals were even more annoyed. Now the defenders of the city are basically the cronies of Tigu Dieer, and in order to Tie Gu Dieer's current meaning, it is necessary to let the upper echelons of the cronies who are not Tiegu Dieer fight against the pro-army of Kublai Khan, and the cronies of Tigu Dieer are withdrawn in the rear.

Those generals who are neither the cronies of Tigu Dieer nor the cronies of the general can't help but make all kinds of noises. General Buhua's cronies exchanged glances with each other, and several of the young generals pretended to move in the direction of General Buhua inadvertently.

For armies, the slightest difference in position can make a huge difference in combat. Most of Tiegu Dieer's attention was on General Buhua, and even so, he also felt that something was wrong. Turning his head, Tiegu Dieer shouted at the generals: "Don't move!" No one is allowed to ......" The voice was interrupted by a terrible voice.

The crowd turned around, and it turned out that a cannonball that had entered the city had landed nearby, hitting a horse. The horses neighed and screamed. The horses were like the relatives of the Mongolian riders, and the sound made the generals feel uncomfortable. General Buhua endured his unhappiness, suddenly bumped into the attendants who were sticking to Gu Die'er beside him, and rushed straight towards his subordinates.

"Kill him!" Tiegu Dieer drank heavily. When the guards heard this, they hurriedly drew their swords and chased after them, seeing that they were about to be able to cut General Buhua, but they were blocked in front of General Buhua by the young generals who rushed up in the oblique stab.

Between the collision of blades, the formation of the generals was chaotic. I heard General Buhua shouting in the crowd: "Tiegu Die'er, this dog thief is going to kill us, have you heard it!" Did you hear it all? ”

Tiegu Dieer was very remorseful in his heart, he was just anxious in his heart and said cruel words. Now he is caught by Buhua and hurts his feet. Just as he was thinking about how to change his words, he heard General Buhua shouting: "Don't send Tiegu Dieer to death at the head of the city, let's go back to the camp first, and let Tiegu Dieer's men die at the head of the city." ”

"Yes!" The generals and colonels who did not spend the general replied loudly. They escorted General Buhua to withdraw in the direction of the troops.

Seeing the general Buhua who escaped his control return to the mountain like a tiger, Tiegu Dieer was extremely annoyed in her heart. What was originally just an external situation suddenly increased internal worries, and the situation was twice as sinister. But when Gu Dieer summoned all the generals, he couldn't let his guards surround so many people like wolves, if he dared to do this, probably these generals would dare to oppose directly. At this time, not only did General Buhua's cronies withdraw, but those cronies who did not spend General Buhua also withdrew.

Just when he didn't know how to deal with it, a herald rushed to Tiegu Die'er and shouted: "Sultan, the Great Khan's army has gone to the city. Please also send reinforcements. ”

Reinforcements? Tigu Dieer felt dizzy, the troops in his hands who believed in the true god had already been sent to the head of the city, and it was forced to bring General Buhua over and let him command those Mongol troops who did not believe in the true god to go to the city to resist the Great Khan's army. The expected reinforcements turned into enemy troops, where were there still troops available.

Although his heart was in turmoil, Tiegu Die'er had been fighting horses for so long, and in such a situation, he still issued an order, "Gather the pro-army and those Tula, and we will withdraw!" "The Great Khan's army only surrounded three sides, and there were no soldiers or horses on the other side. At this time, we can only withdraw to that side.

At this time, General Buhua had returned to his army, and he informed the generals of the news that his family was under house arrest in the palace. Those subordinates who didn't spend the general were not close associates of Gu Die'er, and after listening to the surrender outside the city, their hearts were already shaken. The heavy artillery fire of the Great Khan's army under the city made these people even less desperate. Knowing that the enemy outside was pressing the border, Tigu Dieer started a trick to exclude dissidents in the city. The faces of all the generals and colonels all scolded angrily.

General Buhua shouted: "At this time, we will directly attack the palace, and we will also send people to contact the Great Khan's pro-army." Welcome them into the palace. ”

The generals and colonels who had long had this idea cheered and led their troops with their own troops. Those generals and colonels who were neither the cronies of General Buhua nor the cronies of Gu Dieer looked at each other, and then they heard General Buhua ask: "Everyone, I don't know what you want to do?" ”

The city of Tabriz opened its doors so quickly to the Mongol Khan Kublai Khan that Aruhun, who had just learned the news, began to wonder if he had heard it wrong. In his opinion, Tabriz was the strongest city in the world, a fortress that was difficult to shake. Even Kublai Khan's Great Khan had to take a long time and pay huge casualties to win.

At the urging of his guards, Aruhun mounted his horse and headed for the front of the city. Sure enough, I saw that the gate of the city that was closed yesterday had been opened, and the walls of Tabriz City were covered with all kinds of scars, which were obviously freshly punched. There was also a pungent smell of gunpowder smoke in the air. Kublai Khan was already outside the city gate, and Aruhun hurriedly rushed to Kublai Khan and led Kublai Khan to the palace.

There were still blood stains on the ground of the palace, and the bloody qi had not completely dissipated. Kublai Khan didn't care about it, and the level of killing was as gentle as a warm spring breeze compared to the death scenes he had seen. General Buhua was already kneeling in front of the palace gate, waiting for the victor of the Golden Family to come.

Aruhun wanted to step forward to help the general not to flower, but Kublai Khan took the lead and said: "You just don't flower? ”

"Yes." Buhua's forehead was pressed against the ground, and he replied humbly.

"Who do you think is a traitor in this city?" Kublai Khan's tone was calm.

Buhua and Aruhun both shuddered, and this question brought people a sense of foreboding. The Mongol Khan, who was able to easily storm the city of Tabriz, was prepared to deal with the rebels.

More than half an hour later, Aruhun and Kublai Khan were already seated in the palace. Kublai Khan asked the new Ilhan Aruhun, "I pursued the traitor Tigudiel with General Buhua, but I don't know how you are going to govern the Ilkhanate." ”

"I want to establish an independent civil administration, where everything is no longer run by the military." Aruhun replied succinctly.

"Oh...... I didn't expect you to have such an idea." There was amazement in Kublai Khan's voice.

"Great Khan, is there anything wrong with this?" Aruhun hurriedly asked.

Kublai Khan sighed: "There is nothing wrong with it. When you say that, it reminds me of a person. His name is Hao Ren. ”

"Is it Hao Ren Wanhu who defeated the Chagatai Khanate and the Ogedai Khanate?" Aruhun hurriedly asked.

"So you know Hao Ren. He has the same philosophy of governing the country as you, and if you see it, you want to come and talk about it. Kublai Khan did not mention the Sinicized Mongol court he established in Hebei, but only talked about the 10,000 families that had become Han Chinese.
