On the evening of September 10, the peacock king Dilawa took the initiative to contact Akbar, the king of Gupta. The two giants of the Tianzhu District, who are also sworn enemies, have a rare secret conversation.

"Emperor Ashoka is merging with Great Xia in Tibet, what do you think?" Dilawa asked.

"Watching the play, what else can I do."

"You don't want to do something?"

Arbuckle pretended not to understand and smiled, "I'm lazy and don't want to move." ”

"It's strange to believe you!" The Peacock King complained in his heart, knowing that if he didn't take the initiative to unveil the plaque, the other party would not accept it, "I said, let's not go around the bush, let's just say it, this is a great opportunity to fight the Ashoka Dynasty, or even the only opportunity, you won't really be indifferent, right?" ”

"What do you want?" Arbuck sits firmly on the Diaoyu Tai.

The Peacock King didn't mind anymore, "It's simple, when they lose both, you and I will join forces and send troops together to defeat the Ashoka Dynasty and divide the world equally." ”

Arbuckle nodded.

Both of them are self-aware, knowing that even if the Ashoka Dynasty is defeated on the battlefield of Tibet, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it is not something that the two dynasties can compete with alone.

Joining forces is an inevitable choice.

"How do you join forces?" Arbuckle asked.

"It's very simple, we agree on a boundary in advance, and everyone uses this as a boundary to divide the north and the south, and each side does not interfere, how about it?" Although they join forces, the trust between the two families is limited, and it is necessary to divide the cake in advance.

"That's good, I agree." Arbuck was very cheerful, and then asked the last question, "So, how to divide the royal city of Delhi, it can't be half of one person." ”

That's sensitive.

In terms of importance, Delhi was worth more than a quarter of the entire Ashoka dynasty.

The Peacock King said: "Whoever shoots it first will be counted as his." ”

"Okay, that's it!"

The two giants hung up the communication and secretly divided the Ashoka Dynasty, as for the specific boundary line and cooperation details, naturally the following ministers are responsible for negotiating.

What they have to do is to prepare for war in advance.

The two didn't talk about morality, justice or anything like that, in the wilderness, they were kings and losers, and it was Ashoka's choice to encroach on Tibet.

Choice, naturally, has to bear the price.

As for joining forces to attack Great Xia, don't be funny, the current Great Xia is so powerful that people are chilling, if Great Xia doesn't fight them, they will burn high incense, where do they have the courage to take the initiative to attack.

…………

On 12 September, Zhang Yi and his entourage arrived in Hara and Lin.

Mongolia went west, and Great Xia did not take the opportunity to make trouble, Genghis Khan had to bear this situation.

Therefore, when Zhang Yi and his entourage first appeared on the grassland, Genghis Khan sent the general Jebe to lead 10,000 personal guards to guard along the way, giving Zhang Yi and his entourage extremely high treatment.

When they arrived at Hala and Lin, the envoys were also warmly entertained, and the prime minister of the Mongol Empire, Yelu Chucai, on behalf of Genghis Khan, rushed to the city gate to greet him, giving him enough face.

Yelu Chucai was born in the Khitan aristocracy, and in his early years in the Jin Kingdom, he was an official and a member of the left and right divisions.

When the Mongol army captured Jinzhongdu, Genghis Khan accepted Yelu Chucai as a vassal. Yelu Chucai proposed and formulated various governance strategies based on the Confucian way of governing the country, which laid the foundation for the development of the Mongol Empire.

Yelu Chucai successively assisted Genghis Khan's father and son for more than 30 years, and served as the Zhongshu Commander for 14 years, he had a profound influence on Genghis Khan and his descendants, and took various measures to lay the foundation for the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty.

Such talents and contributions have also allowed Yelu Chucai to be among the top ten famous ministers in China, along with Li Si, Xiao He, Fang Xuanling, Di Renjie, Zeng Guofan and other famous ministers.

Zhang Yi was not ambiguous, after staying at the embassy, he immediately presented boxes of gifts, all of which were specialties of the Central Plains, such as Jingdezhen porcelain, Jiangnan silk, tea, wine, etc., all of which were superb.

When Genghis Khan saw it, his face was good, but when Zhang Yi presented the national letter, Genghis Khan's face sank suddenly, and he was obviously unprepared in the face of the unkind wording in the national letter.

"Is your country's request too much?" Genghis Khan asked this, which in itself lacked confidence.

When Zhang Yi heard this, he replied neatly: "My dynasty is the orthodoxy of China, the co-lord of the world, and it is your obligation to temporarily open the road to our dynasty, so how can you say it excessively?" ”

"The co-master of the world? I didn't admit it. ”

Zhang Yi just smiled and said, "This is exactly what His Majesty wants to ask, is the Khan willing to admit it now?" ”

The air freezes in an instant.

Genghis Khan's eyes twinkled, "What if I say no?" ”

"It's very simple, in order to maintain the status of the co-lord of the world, the only way to win or lose is to win or lose on the battlefield." Zhang Yi is also not ambiguous, in the past, Daxia may not have such confidence, but now it is sonorous and powerful.

Genghis Khan was angry, but he didn't dare to be really ruthless.

"In this way, your envoy is here to write a war letter." Genghis Khan's tone was cold.

Zhang Yi smiled again, "Whether it is a war book or not, it is all up to the Khan's decision." If we can, we do not want to meet with your country, and it is better to solve the problem through negotiations. ”

"How?"

"That depends on whether the Khan is sincere in talking." Zhang Yi is sure in her heart.

Genghis Khan has calmed down, in fact, Ouyang Shuo is thinking about how to deal with the Mongol Empire, and Genghis Khan, as a generation of heroes, has never thought about similar problems.

Looking at the Central Plains War, Emperor Qin and Han Wu, Tang Emperor and Song Wu, one killed himself, one was assassinated, one went into hiding, and the other was usurped and placed under house arrest, and the ending was extremely miserable.

Although Genghis Khan was conceited, he did not think that he would be more powerful than these four emperors. For them, Daxia can be ruthless, and there is no reason to say that he will be merciful and let him go alone.

If you want to have a good end, sometimes, you have to be soft, and you have to be soft. To be tough to the end, it is not good for yourself or your people.

But even if he wants to be soft, Genghis Khan needs a step, otherwise, it will be too shameless. Zhang Yi came here, firstly, to tempt, and secondly, to send steps to Genghis Khan.

"The stakes are high, let me think about it."

Genghis Khan was very interesting, and he didn't overdo it.

Zhang Yi nodded and got up to say goodbye.

…………

When Zhang Yi left, Genghis Khan sighed, "What should come, always come." ”

Yelu Chucai on one side listened to it and admonished: "Khan, no one can stop the trend of Great Xia to dominate China. In order to expel the Ashoka Dynasty, they did not hesitate to raise an army of two million, which shows the firmness of their determination. ”

"I know this, but I'm just unwilling." Genghis Khan sighed.

"The hurricane is over, but the grass remains." Yelu Chucai comforted, "This wilderness, after all, is still the world of strangers, this is the destiny of heaven, and no one can reverse it." Rather than breaking the net, it is better to negotiate peace with Daxia and achieve a smooth handover on a mutually acceptable condition. ”

Genghis Khan asked: "What kind of conditions does the prime minister think?" ”

"The best result, of course, is to recognize Great Xia as the suzerain. It's just that Weichen is worried that Daxia may not be satisfied with this, and the khan still has to be mentally prepared. Yelu Chucai said.

Genghis Khan shook his head, "What psychological preparation?" It's just abdication. ”

Yelu Chucai was silent for a long time before he said cautiously: "With the prestige of the Khan in Mongolia, I am afraid it will be difficult to make Emperor Xia feel at ease. The best way is to choose one of the princes to pass on the throne. ”

"This is also the regular practice of those Central Plains emperors." Yelu Chucai added.

Genghis Khan asked, "Which prince does the prime minister think can take on this important task?" ”

This is a bit embarrassing Yelu Chucai, Na Na said: "This Khan's family matter, Weichen does not dare to say anything. ”

Yelu Chucai didn't say it, but Genghis Khan said it to himself, "Among the sons, the only ones who can inherit the throne of the Khan are Wo Kotai and Tuo Lei, one Wen and one Wu." Whoever succeeds to the throne could trigger discord within their brothers. I'm afraid this is also what Da Xia is willing to see, since this is the case, let Da Xia decide. ”

Yelu Chucai was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is this the Khan's agreement to negotiate with Great Xia?" ”

Genghis Khan nodded, "Let's talk, there is no other way." The prime minister is responsible for the specific negotiations, and I hope that a good result can be negotiated. ”

"Khan rest assured, Wechen will do his best." Yelu Chucai clenched his fists.

When Genghis Khan heard this, he didn't have any excited expression, but waved his hand tiredly. This commanding old man, in the face of a strong enemy, is already physically and mentally exhausted, and has no fighting spirit.

Goshawks can soar into the blue sky, but they can't fight the blue sky.

Genghis Khan is the eagle of the steppe, and Bactria is the sky, covering the head of the Mongol Empire, it is an existence that can never be resisted, what to fight?

Now, Genghis Khan is beginning to understand a little bit of Qin Shi Huang's state of mind when he killed himself.

"Wechen retires!"

Seeing this, Yelu Chucai said goodbye and left with interest.
