"Oh?" Subutai was surprised. But his eyes were still staring at Zhang Han, waiting for him to explain.

When the tender grass in his hand was eaten by the chasing wind, Zhang Han patted off the grass clippings in his hand, raised his head and looked at Su Butai;

"In my opinion, if the top level of Mongolia still looks at the Han regime with the eyes of other ethnic groups, it will definitely suffer a great loss."

"Alarmist!" Subutai said disdainfully.

Zhang Han was not surprised by his attitude at all, and continued to expound his views.

Zhang Han is not unashamed to speak out without purpose, but with a basis.

Han is different from the West.

When our Mongol army conquered the west, because the west was sparsely populated, the cities were scattered, and the religions were mixed, they could attack the cities without any scruples without suffering too many casualties and obstacles. Historically, the Turkic people who were beaten westward by the Han and Tang dynasties, the Huns are the best proof of this.

However, the Han region in the Central Plains is densely populated and has many cities. Especially in the southern region, the water network is dense, and the hills and mountains are the majority. The cavalry is conducive to field battles, but not conducive to attacking fortifications, does the master think that the cavalry can still go up the city wall? ”

Seeing that Su Butai opened his mouth to refute, Zhang Han stopped the other party with his eyes and continued;

"I know that you and Marshal Jebel did capture a lot of fortified cities during the last expedition to the west." Speaking of this, Zhang Han glanced at the other party, saw that the other party nodded, and continued;

"But that's because Western countries don't have a complete historical heritage like the Central Plains Dynasty, so they threaten the other side with intimidation, massacre and other violent means in battle, and the other side has a considerable chance of giving in. But this situation is almost impossible for the Central Plains Dynasty.

Because it has enough historical background, it is easy for various factions to appear within the Central Plains Dynasty and restrain each other. However, in the face of foreign invasion, either no one will be killed, or the foreign race must be integrated into the culture of the Central Plains.

Otherwise, even if the Han people were temporarily subdued by violence, their rule would never last long. This is also the origin of the Han legend that "Hulu has no luck for a hundred years". ”

Zhang Han's words made the expression on Su Butai's face gradually stretch, and it was the first time he had heard this kind of statement. No one has ever popularized this idea to him from the perspective of culture.

Zhang Han saw that someone in the distance had already brought lunch, and looked up at the sky, and the sun was already noon.

pointed to the pergola where the subordinates put the food, and smiled at the speed; "Master, it's noon, let's go over and talk while eating?"

Hearing this, Subutai also looked at the sun above his head, nodded and smiled; "Before I knew it, it was noon. I'm sure you're hungry too, so let's go over and eat first. ”

"Master, please!" After Zhang Han made a gesture of invitation to Subutai, the master and apprentice walked towards the pergola one after the other.

The temperature at noon in Mobei in April is almost 30 degrees, and compared with the cold of the night, the temperature difference is 40 degrees. So when they arrived at the pergola, the two took off their coats and handed them to the next person.

A little roasted golden lamb was already on the table, and a jar of wine was chilled next to it. Zhang Han felt that the meal was already very rich, but Subutai on the other side still explained to Zhang Han with a smile;

"Let's just pad it casually. You are not an outsider, so you will not be extravagant and wasteful today. ”

Isn't this called extravagance?

If it was Zhang Han who saw the other party so Versailles before, he would definitely be unable to help but complain wildly in his heart, and fiercely despise the extravagant life of this group of nobles, a group of moths who don't know the hardships of the people's livelihood.

But now when Zhang Han heard this, he only modestly said a few polite words. Because of his different identity, he is now also a member of this group of corrupt nobles.

Do you complain about your own class?

So-called; The ass determines the head, and the stance determines the attitude.

This roasted whole sheep Zhang Han ate quite happily. Pick up the golden lamb chops and take a bite, the mouth is full of crispy, so that his saliva can't stop secreting quickly. After a few more bites, the servant served them a refreshing wine.

Zhang Han hurriedly put down the mutton in his hand, regardless of the greasy between his fingers, and saluted Su Butai with a cold wine;

"Master, this first cup is for you. We have been orphaned since childhood, without a father or mother. It is not only after being taught by the master that he is good at it. Thanksgiving! Feel free to do it, I did it! After speaking, Zhang Han picked up the big porcelain bowl and drained the full bowl of wine.

When the cold wine enters the intestines, the heat of the whole body seems to be reduced a little.

Zhang Han stretched out his sleeve to wipe the wine on his face, and shouted rather uninhibitedly;

"Cool, happy!"

"Hahaha, good!"

Seeing Zhang Han's heroic appearance, Su Butai immediately stroked his palms and laughed.

Getting along with a young man like Zhang Han makes it seem as if his old body is once again glowing with a second spring. So he also picked up the sea bowl in front of him and drank wildly.

Bang--

"Cool! Sure enough! Hahaha....... "Drink it, Su Butai put the sea bowl in his hand on the table, and continued to laugh wildly.

The wine splashed, and the master and apprentice had contacts and contacts, and they ate nonsense.

I didn't stop until I had completely emptied a jar of wine. At this time, the whole sheep was also made by the two of them.

The old and the young, who were full of wine and food, were comfortably lying on two rattan chairs, drinking tea unhurriedly. The food on the table has already been cleaned.

Zhang Han stroked his bulging belly while squinting his eyes and letting a cool breeze blow on his face, revealing a lazy appearance.

The two of them probably rested quietly for half an hour, but Su Butai opened his mouth first;

"I probably understand what you mean, to put it bluntly, if my Mongol army attacks the Southern Song Dynasty, the other party will not surrender obediently like the Western countries, but will rely on the fortified city and terrain to resist stubbornly. At that time, my Mongol army will suffer huge losses due to siege warfare, yes or no? ”

Zhang Han nodded; "Yes, that's what it means. And even if the Zhao and Song royal families were finally eliminated, if they could not integrate into the Central Plains culture, the rule would not be long. ”

"Is there a solution?"

Zhang Han shook his head and pretended to sigh; "The kid is incompetent, he can't think of an effective way, and no one can do it yet."

Just kidding, even if there is a way, you can't say it! Did you teach the Mongols the Manchu set in advance? Forget it, he doesn't want to be nailed to the pillar of national shame in a few years.

Helping Mongolia can be said to judge the situation, and helping to rule their own ethnic group is really vicious. Besides, it was just an expedient measure for him to surrender at the beginning. He Zhang Han will not forget his Han roots just because he is a Mongolian concubine.

Seeing that Zhang Han couldn't solve this dilemma, Su Butai's face suddenly showed a touch of worry.

Seeing this, Zhang Han had no choice but to comfort; "The world has the law of both, and my great Mongolia is in full swing, and when the sun is thriving, the master doesn't have to worry too much."

In the face of Zhang Han's comfort, Subutai just squeezed out a smile and deliberately pretended not to care.

"The old man doesn't need your little doll to comfort him, the old man has not experienced anything for many years of fighting in all directions, and he is not going to drill the horns. Okay, let's continue to talk about the Southern Song Dynasty like the emperor's action. ”

Seeing that Su Butai said this, he knew that even if he was still a little worried, his mentality had changed. Continue to talk about this operation of the Song Dynasty.

"Although this is a good opportunity for Song Guo, it is not so easy to seize. In my opinion; The emperor of the Song Dynasty would not give up this opportunity, after all, it was a good thing to kill three birds with one stone. But his courtiers would not cooperate with him so easily.

The key to accomplishing this operation is the word "fast". It's so fast that we don't have time to react and make things an established fact, and even if we fight at that time, they can slowly digest the territory of the Central Plains as long as they hold on to a few important cities. ”

"Not bad!" Zhang Han's words made Su Butai nod from time to time, looked at his proud disciple with a look of relief, and urged; "Go on!"

"Yes." Zhang Han owed slightly. Keep preaching; "Only when the Emperor of the Song State completely gathered the forces in his hands did he have the basis for the success of this plan.

But for Zhao Wei, who has just gotten rid of his puppet status, how can it be done in a short time?

If you don't clench your fists, it won't hurt if you hit someone.

Even if the Emperor of the Song State and a small number of people in the imperial court forcibly pushed this plan forward, the other forces would only go against the law.

Therefore, Han believed that there was little hope that the Song plan would succeed this time. If our Mongol army sent tens of thousands of people to the Central Plains, the Song Emperor would face our military pressure and internal contradictions, and this plan would probably be stillborn. ”

"Bang Bang!!"

After Zhang Han finished speaking, there was applause in his ears. I saw him with a relieved face; "Well said! It is your family's words, but all aspects of analysis have spurred in, and the speculation about the psychology of the emperor of the Song Dynasty is even more penetrating, and the old man really did not see the wrong person. ”

Zhang Han's opinion made Subutai's evaluation of him go to a higher level again.

Zhang Han secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The matter has basically been said at this point, and Subutai's inspection of him has finally passed. It can be seen from the smile on the other party's face that his performance this time is quite satisfactory to the other party.

Therefore, in the face of Su Butai's praise, Zhang Han is just modest;

"Hand's knowledge is still shallow, and he still needs the master's attention."

"That's nature! Since you call me a master, I will naturally teach you this skill. ”

Speaking of this, Subutai glanced at the subordinates around him, and the guards immediately drove out the subordinates who served them. At this time, apart from the two guards on duty in the pergola, only their master and apprentice were left.

After the subordinates dispersed, Su Butai said with a serious face; "Some time ago, the Great Khan mentioned it to the old man alone, meaning that he was preparing to go west again. Because the old man is familiar with the terrain, he is ready to let me be the coach this time. ”

"Going west again?" Zhang Han was surprised; "Why did the Great Khan suddenly have such thoughts? At present, the war in Han has just stopped, and there is still a tendency to repeat, is it appropriate to go west again in such a hurry? ”

Although Zhang Han knew that after the Song and Meng destroyed the Jin, the Mongol Great Khan started the western expedition again soon after Wo Kotai. However, in his previous life, he only knew a little about the personnel route of this western expedition, but he did not know anything about the specific time. I didn't expect the Western Expedition to be put on the agenda so quickly.

Subutai fell into the memory. Slowly, he spoke; "Alas, there is no way to do it, and when it comes to the cause of this Western Expedition, we have to mention a young war criminal, his name is called.

- Zalandin.
