Chapter 564: The Emperor's Strategy
In March, in a palace in the capital.
Kublai Khan looked at the news from the south, his face was gloomy, and his heart was full of anger. Since ascending to the throne, his majesty has become heavier and heavier, and after the capture of Lin'an and the elimination of the Song Dynasty, it has reached its peak, and because of this, it is more and more unbearable to provoke. The news from Zhang Hongfan this time, in addition to the victory in the Battle of Yashan a month ago, also included the news that Li Heng was killed and the Wuyangcheng prison was robbed, which was related to a person he hated very much - that is, Fang Zhixing. More than 30 years ago, when he was conquering Xiangyang, he was almost assassinated by Fang Zhixing and Guo Jing, and more than 20 years ago, Fang Zhixing's disciple Yang Guo even killed his brother Meng Ge. Although it was because of this that he became the Great Khan and became the emperor, it is impossible to say that Kublai Khan thanked Fang Zhixing.
Thinking of this, Kublai Khan said to an attendant: "Go, please come over to the Emperor of the Eight Sipa, I have something to discuss with him!" After so many years of entanglement with the martial arts people in the Central Plains, Kublai Khan also knew that as long as masters like Fang Zhixing and Guo Jing were not surrounded to death, it would be difficult for them to really threaten them with the army, and those who could rely on them to deal with them were still martial arts people. However, over the years, although he has recruited some martial arts people from the Central Plains, there is no top master like Fang Zhixing and Guo Jing, and he is mainly fighting against the hoe team led by Guo Jing. Kublai Khan thought about it, and felt that perhaps only the Eight Sipa Emperors, who had always respected the supernatural powers, were far superior to the Golden Wheel National Teacher, could compete with Fang Zhixing, the world's number one master. The two belonged to Buddhism, and the Sakya sect was not in harmony with the Quanzhen Sect. Kublai Khan believed that his emperor must have been very interested in this.
In a short time, Phags-pa had already entered the palace under the guidance of his chamberlain. Kublai Khan did not say a word. directly handed the recital sent by Zhang Hongfan to Ba Si Pa and let the other party watch the contents. He believed in himself, an incomparably intelligent emperor. You must understand what you mean.
The throne of the Eight Sipa Emperor was respected, and he just bowed and took the fold and looked at it. He was proficient in Chinese, and after reading it, he could already guess why Kublai Khan had let him come. However, he did not answer immediately, but closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then opened his eyes and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the Tibetan land is not quiet." It is difficult to mobilize manpower among the small monks. "His spiritual cultivation is profound, and he has cultivated martial arts after seeing Fang Zhixing's power more than 20 years ago, but he is not very sure whether he can compare with the other party. Moreover, Fang Zhixing has many disciples and old ones, and he can only fight with the help of the eighteen protectors in the door. However, although the Sakya sect has become the largest sect in Tibet under his auspices, it is extremely difficult to completely subdue the other sects, and the eighteen Dharma protectors are the foundation of the sect. Naturally, it is difficult to call it up at once.
"Please be relieved, I will send a large army to see who dares to make any changes!" Kublai Khan said murderously. Although he knew that Paspa was using himself to eliminate other forces, he didn't care. The army arrived in Tibet. It will not be so easy to come out again, and then the entire land of Qinghai-Tibet will really be included in the jurisdiction of the Great Yuan. Kublai Khan naturally would not refuse such a mutually beneficial thing.
Pasipa bowed down and thanked him. Said: "In this case, the little monk is with the eighteen Dharma protectors in the door. Compete with this Fang Sword God, thank you for your kindness!" He knew that he didn't have much bargaining capital, so after hearing what Kublai Khan said, he agreed to this matter without hesitation.
Hearing this, Kublai Khan was immediately overjoyed and said: "The emperor's hand will definitely be captured, I don't know if there is anything I need to help?"
Ba Si Pa pondered for a while and said, "I heard that Fang Jian Shen is now far overseas, and rarely goes to the Central Plains. The little monk heard that he had a disciple named Zhang Junbao, and he might be able to start from here. I just hope that His Majesty will send someone to drag Guo Jing, Yang Guo and others, and don't let them disturb this matter. He knew that his spiritual cultivation had reached the realm of himself and Fang Zhixing, and his prediction of danger was already extremely strong, so he didn't think about using the army to set up an ambush or anything like that, but just wanted to force Fang Zhixing to show up and fight with him with his upright strength. If you want to do this, you must first eliminate the possible interference caused by Guo Jing, Yang Guo and others, and you need to drag them down first.
"This ......" Kublai Khan hesitated for a moment when he heard this. Guo Jing and Yang Guo have not only been his opponents for decades, but now they are assassinating some generals who once slaughtered the city from time to time in Jiangnan, and they are against the people in the rivers and lakes who have defected to the imperial court, so he naturally wants to get rid of the two in his heart. But these people in the martial arts have always been high and high, and their whereabouts are extremely uncertain, and several ambushes he sent people to set up over the years have been broken by the two, and they have also lost a lot of manpower, so how to drag the two, Kublai Khan is not sure in his heart.
"Your Majesty, although the Southern Dynasty is destroyed, but it still needs to be broken, the little monk has a discussion, and please listen to it!"
Although he didn't know why Pasipa suddenly mentioned this matter, Kublai Khan knew that there must be a deep meaning in it, and said quietly: "Emperor, please say, I am not allowed!"
Ba Si Pa clasped his hands together and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, when the Jin people of the previous dynasty entered Bianjing, they destroyed the mausoleum of the Song Dynasty, but after the peace was discussed, the matter was suspended, and your Majesty Xià was asked to continue!"
"Destroy his mausoleum?" Kublai Khan said to himself. He could naturally hear what Ba Si Pa meant, in terms of feng shui, destroying the mausoleum was to completely cut off the dragon veins of the Song Dynasty, in case the Song Dynasty repeated again. If he said that he had some scruples in order to win over the scholars before, but at this time, the Song dynasty had been destroyed, even if there were many Zhao and Song clans and ministers who took refuge in most of the capital, they didn't need to worry about anything anymore, even if they destroyed the Song Dynasty mausoleum, these people would not say anything. And doing this at this time has another effect, that is, once it is publicized, Guo Jing, Yang Guo and others will most likely take people to Bianjing and Lin'an to protect them, although there is little hope of getting rid of them, but they can be dragged down, and they will not interfere with the Fang Zhixing battle between Ba Sipa.
Thinking of this, Kublai Khan nodded and said, "This matter will be left to the emperor, if there is a need, you can do it cheaply." As he spoke, he ordered someone to draw up an order, and Xu Ba Sipa sent people to mobilize the surrounding generals to try to wipe out Fang Zhixing, Guo Jing, Yang Guo and others.
When he heard this, he immediately bowed down, took Kublai Khan's decree, and bowed down. Although the land of Qinghai-Tibet is far away, and it will take at least a few months for Kublai Khan to send troops to come with the Eighteen Dharma Protectors, he must also start preparing from now on, and strive to be foolproof.
