Ali Buge used Huoluhai and Hunduhai as the Western Route Army to march from Guanzhong to oppose Kublai Khan, and ordered Huliegu's eldest son Yumu Hu'er and Hejiao Cha'er 100,000 Eastern Route Army to go south and attack Kaiping, Yanjing and other places.

For the Western Route army led by Huo Luhai and Hun Duhai, Ali Buge was not very relieved, so he ordered his close minister Alan Daer to lead the Western Route Army out of Hexi and down Liupan Mountain, in an attempt to firmly control the rear of Sichuan and Shu.

Kublai Khan, in accordance with Liu Bingzhong's suggestion, ordered Lian Xixian to take the lead in detouring through Sichuan, exterminating the close henchmen of Huoluhai and Hunduhai, Mili Huozhi and Qitai Buhua, forming a situation of forcing Guanzhong from the south.

In the face of 100,000 Eastern Route Army, Kublai Khan sent people to infiltrate Ali Buge's Eastern Route Army according to Fa Sipa's suggestion, instigating and luring several powerful clan leaders, causing Ali Buge's internal military disorder.

When Ali Buge heard the news of the defeat of the Western Route Army, he was furious, but he was helpless, and he knew that the internal morale of the Eastern Route Army was unstable at this moment, some advocated attacking, some advocated confrontation, and did not attack.

Therefore, in the face of the rout of the Western Route Army, Ali Buge had to give up the original plan to advance south, so he ordered Yumu Hu'er and Hezhan Cha'er to stand still and confront Kublai Khan, not to act rashly.

Originally, the situation was favorable to Ali Buge, but now, it was reversed by the strategy of Liu Bingzhong and Fa Siba, although so, now it is only to relieve the siege of Yanjing and Kaiping, but it has not hurt the vitality of Ali Buge, Ali Buge's 100,000 troops are still stationed in the north, eyeing Kaiping and Yanjing, and the contrast in strength between the two armies is still huge.

Kublai Khan knew very well that in the face of Ali Buge's army of thousands of households, 100,000 soldiers and horses, and more than 40,000 people, if he really fought hard, the consequences would be unpredictable.

At this moment, Kublai Khan was not overly worried about the gap between the soldiers and horses, he did not want to see Mongolia wasted because of its own internal fighting, if it really started a war, no matter who he lost or won with Ali Buge, as far as Mongolia was concerned, it had already lost.

Fasipa proposed to send an envoy to the Ilkhanate to ask for the support of Kublai Khan's brother Hulegu, and Liu Bingzhong agreed.

Hülegü led the army to the west, all the way to West Asia, and even Eastern Europe, but at the critical moment received the news of the death of Möngke Khan, his subordinates had urged Hulegu to lead the army to return to the country to fight for Khan, but Hülegü immediately refused, he knew that his power was in the Western Regions, the so-called whip is beyond the reach, if he is willing to seek the near and far, with his own strengths and weaknesses, it will only outweigh the losses.

In the bottom of Hulegu's heart, he knew very well that Mongolia needed a person who was courageous, good at both military and political affairs, and good at governance, to succeed him as Khan, and he could only be a general who fought bravely on the front line, and the position of Great Khan was difficult to handle, so he established his own country, the Ilkhanate, in the Western Regions and established his own sphere of influence.

For the battle between Kublai Khan and Ali Buge, as the brother of the two, he was quite uncomfortable in the middle, but he preferred Kublai Khan to be called Khan.

Despite this, he rejected Kublai Khan's request, and in his reply he insisted on brotherhood, making it difficult to show who to support, and claiming to be neutral.

Kublai Khan did not mean to blame, and he was also very considerate of Hulegu.

The news of Lian Xixian and Wang Liangchen's great victory on the West Road came, Kublai Khan was very happy, at this time, Fa Siba also received a letter sent back by Zhang Hongyan, after receiving the letter, Fa Siba opened it, and saw that "the person who was destined to bring the life of the dragon star has been found" was very happy, but he was very puzzled when he saw the words "is Brother Mei", so he forwarded the letter to Kublai Khan.

When Kublai Khan heard that the person who had been ordered to carry the life of the dragon star had been found, he was extremely happy, took the letter handed by Fa Sipa, read it carefully, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's him!"

Fa Sipa looked at Kublai Khan's surprised expression, heard the question of "it turned out to be him", and asked with a puzzled expression: "Didn't the Great Khan know the Mei brothers mentioned in this letter?"

Kublai Khan handed the letter back to Fa Sipa, explaining: "The national teacher may not know, last autumn, the first Khan died suddenly, Ben Khan's army fell into the battle of Ezhou, when I heard that Ali Buge wanted to take advantage of my army in Ezhou to seize the Khan's throne, and sent several masters of Juxian Pavilion to assassinate Ben Khan, it is this Mei brother, he not only saved Ben Khan's life, but also easily solved my triple dilemma with 'six characters'.

Fa Siba replied in surprise: "The last time I visited General Liu, General Liu mentioned a person to me, saying that he used the 'six characters' to solve the triple dilemma of the Great Khan in Ezhou, and it was also because of this person's 'six characters' strategy that General Liu thought of using Jia Nidao as an important chess piece to lay out a game of overall situation for his Japanese and Mongolian unification.

Kublai Khan nodded and replied, "It's him." ”

Fa Sipa's eyes were like torches, and he said with a determined expression: "It seems that this person does have the ability to promote the general trend of the world, since that person has helped the Great Khan and has such talent, why didn't the Great Khan keep him at that time?"

Kublai Khan lamented: "National teacher, do you think that Ben Khan does not want to keep him? It is he who insists on refusing to stay by Ben Khan's side and serve Ben Khan, since he led away the people of various factions in the martial arts, Ben Khan has lost his news, and later in the predicament of Kaiping and Yanjing, Ben Khan has never taken this matter to heart, and now that he thinks about it, it is also Ben Khan's negligence. ”

Fa Sipa solemnly persuaded: "Great Khan, now is the time when the general trend of the world is running, this person is responsible for the mission of dominating the general trend of the world, if it is not used by the Great Khan, then he will naturally be used by other forces, if we do not take the lead in fighting, let him fall into the hands of Ali Buge or the Southern Song Dynasty, I am afraid, the general trend of the world will be reversed with his help, if the Great Khan can trust the minister, the minister is willing to do his best to persuade this person, the matter is very important, I hope the Great Khan should pay more attention to this matter." ”

Fa Sipa's words pierced Kublai Khan's nerves, and after some deep thought, he immediately ordered seriously: "What the national teacher said, you are concerned about the fate of Mongolia, and Ben Khan will appoint you to deal with this matter, remember, if Brother Namei has any request, Ben Khan will agree." ”

When Fa Si Pa heard this, he saw Kublai Khan's attitude towards this matter, and he was very relieved, because he was afraid that the Southern Song Dynasty and Ali Buge would take the lead, and after receiving the order, Fa Si Pa immediately set off to join Zhang Hongyan.

Fa Sipa's worry was correct, Nan Luo Xing was also good at astrology, when he saw Wang Xing disappearing and Long Xing appeared, he was also extremely surprised, and immediately reported to Ah Sutai, who immediately reported the matter to Ali Buge.

When Namaya was dying, his heart was towards Kublai Khan, so although he was in Ali Buge's sphere of influence and in the forest, he did not tell Ali Buge about Longxing, and after Ali Buge heard about it, he suddenly remembered that when he was young, Wokotai Khan personally conquered Chengdu City, and couldn't help but go to Juxian Pavilion to ask Nan Luoxing in person.

Nan Luo Xing is good at astrology, so he told the legend of the Dragon Star to Brother Ali Buge, after Brother Ali Buge heard it, he attached great importance to the son of the Dragon Star who was destined to take it, so he also ordered Nan Luo Xing to take the old monster and the other four people to the direction of Yin Chuan.

Nan Luo Xing and the others searched in the northwest of Yin Chuan City for more than half a month to no avail, Nan Luo Xing concluded that the person was in Pangu Peak according to the position of the stars, so he led everyone back to Helin, and reported the matter to Brother Ali Bu in detail, Brother Ali Buge was hindered by the fact that there were more important things at the moment to appoint the masters of Juxian Pavilion, so he put the matter on hold, but also told Nan Luo Xing to pay close attention to the latest changes in this matter.

On the night when Zong Zheng came out of Pangu Peak, Zhang Hongyan and the boss of the Zhongshan Eight Wolves and others looked at the stars and knew that Zong Zheng was no longer near Yin Cheng, so they rode horses and chased after them according to the location of the stars.

And that night, Nan Luoxing also saw the movement of Long Xing, and he knew that the person who was destined to take Long Xing had finally come out of the mountain, so he informed Ali Buge of this matter as soon as possible.

Ali Buge sent the masters of Juxian Pavilion to save Asutai and take the opportunity to assassinate Kublai Khan, but he accidentally fell into a trap and folded Zhu Yunshi, he was very discouraged, and suddenly heard the news of the defeat of the Western Route Army, and he knew that he was missing a layer of victory certainty, and his heart was depressed.

After hearing Nan Luoxing's recital, Ali Buge made up his mind to hold the man firmly in the palm of his hand, so that he would naturally have a lot more certainty in fighting with Kublai Khan.

So, Brother Ali Buge ordered Nan Luoxing and other five people to be dispatched to bring the person who ordered to bring Longxing back to Helin, this time, it can be said that a strict order was issued, which shows that Brother Ali Buge attaches great importance to this matter.

On the side of the Southern Song Dynasty, due to the old age of the Song Emperor and the fact that Jia Rudao did not believe in the stars, in front of the Great Dynasty, he interrogated Xu Wencong and said: "The prosperity of the national highway is determined by the national strength, how can it be decided by one person, Lord Xu is inevitably too exaggerated about the role of that person, besides, the theory of the stars is groundless." ”

Xu Wencong argued with ancient and modern astrological examples: "The Prime Minister's words are wrong, the Tang Dynasty Astronomical Palace Taishi ordered Li Chunfeng to observe the celestial phenomena, and found that the Taibai Star appeared in the daytime day after day, and he admonished Taizong that "the Taibai Star heralds the 'heroine Dangchang'"; ”

When the ministers heard Xu Wencong's argument, some courtiers felt reasonable, and their tongues were messed up in the court for a while.

Jia Rudao replied and asked rhetorically: "That being the case, the day before yesterday, Lord Xu sent someone to look for that person, is there any news?"

Xu Wencong was just about to reply to Long Xing's latest news, but Jia Rudao immediately blocked his mouth again, and said in a convincing manner: "If it is really like what Lord Xu said, Lord Xu has not found that person so far, and it is also Lord Xu's ineffective work. ”

The two had a dispute in the court for a while, and the Song Emperor didn't want to listen more, so he hastily withdrew from the court, and then Xu Wencong was afraid of Jia Yidao's power, plus the person who had not been able to find the life of Long Xing in the previous months, thinking that he was also old, and the atmosphere of the Southern Song Dynasty court was already like this, and he had the heart but his strength was insufficient, so he still spent the rest of his days in the court with peace of mind, so he never mentioned it again.
