In the blink of an eye, the beginning of spring warmed up, Kublai Khan, in accordance with Fa Sipa's suggestion, with the support of the clan leaders who had been contacted in advance, convened a meeting of kings in Kaiping, enthroned as Khan, and worshiped Fa Si Pa as the new national teacher of Mongolia, and handed over all the ceremonial and constitutional matters after his accession to the throne to Fa Sipa.

According to the national conditions of the Han and Mongolia that are now protecting and blending with each other, Fa Siba formulated a corresponding system of cultural and ceremonial rites, which was loyally attached to many Han generals, and the Mongolian clans who originally had a vacillating attitude also joined one after another because Kublai Khan took the lead in claiming the title of Khan, and even some clans that originally supported Ali Buge also turned against each other under the interests and benefits promised by Kublai Khan.

When the news of Kublai Khan's proclamation of Khan reached Horin, Ali Buge was extremely angry when he saw that many clan leaders had joined him, but he regretted it and regretted that he had not taken the lead in calling Khan Kublai Khan.

Subsequently, a month after Kublai Khan proclaimed Khan, Ali Buge was also proclaimed Khan in Helin with the support of many clans.

Soon after Ali Buge became Khan, he instigated the generals of Huoluhai and Hunduhai, who had originally belonged to Kublai Khan, to gather troops and horses to march from Guanzhong to oppose Kublai Khan, and Ali Buge agreed with Huoluhai and Hun Duhai that he would personally lead a large army to press the border and crusade against Kublai Khan in two ways;

When the news of the rebellion of Holuhai and Hundulhai came, Kublai Khan immediately convened the generals of the army to discuss the matter, and Fa Sipa was allowed to participate in military and political affairs as a national teacher.

Liu Bingzhong's talent is rare in the world, Fa Si Pa is also a national warrior, since Kublai Khan and Fa Si Pa, he and Liu Bingzhong have since become Kublai Khan's extremely important humerus, is a well-deserved think tank, like the vast sky of two twinkling stars arch to guard Kublai Khan's bright moon, the three of them one heart, shining.

At this military meeting, Kublai Khan first asked what Fa Si Pa meant.

Fa Si Pa advised: "Great Khan, the so-called' If the name is not right, it is not good', since the Great Khan ascended the throne, all the hearts of those who can be attached have been attached, and although the king of Mobei is called Khan, but most of them are supported in exchange for interests and benefits, now, he raises troops to fight, but it is a nameless teacher, if we tell the world, force Chen Ali Buge Khan is not right, and declare the legitimacy of the Khan of the Great Khan, then Ali Buge is not only a nameless, but has become a perverse rebel, then, we can Ali Buge split Mongolia, in the name of plotting rebellion, invite Mongolian people of insight to fight Ali Buge, and then divide the camp of the king of Mobei, then, the king of Mobei will be defeated without a fight。 ”

Liu Bingzhong was the first to agree, and he echoed: " What the national teacher said is extremely true, I think that although the king is now fighting for the Khan with the king of Mobei is the most important thing, but also must not be short-sighted, stick to the present, for the sake of the long-term, this battle with the king of Mobei Khan, in the final analysis, is the internal struggle of Mongolia, after all, the damage is Mongolia's own national strength, even if the Great Khan defeated the king of Mobei and unified the Mongolian tribes, but because the losses caused by the war will take several years to recover again, which is greatly unfavorable to the next war with the Southern Song Dynasty. ”

Kublai Khan seemed to understand what Liu Bingzhong meant, so he asked rhetorically: "Does General Liu have any strategy to surrender Ali Buge without a fight?"

Liu Bingzhong shook his head and said: "Great Khan, we must have a war with the King of Mobei, and the minister means that the losses caused by the war can be minimized." ”

"General Liu, please speak!" Kublai Khan asked, respecting Liu Bingzhong very much.

Liu Bingzhong explained: "Fang Cai, the national teacher mentioned that the orthodoxy of the Khan is attached to the hearts of the people, and then divide the camp of the King of Mobei, the minister thinks that it is an effective way to reduce the war losses, just imagine, if the supporters of the King of Mobei are getting fewer and fewer, or there are more people supporting the Great Khan, then for the Great Khan, for Mongolia, how can it not be a blessing?" In addition, the minister also suggested that for the small number of enemy soldiers who are coming to attack, we should not fight in an all-round battle, but should fight the enemy in a roundabout way, and for the heavy troops that are coming, we should focus on attacking them, and hurt them at one time, and it is best to settle the situation in one battle, so as to retain the final military strength of our Mongolia. ”

Kublai Khan has always attached great importance to Liu Bingzhong's suggestions, because Liu Bingzhong's suggestions can always have a surprising effect.

"How to make a detour against the enemy, how to focus on attacking?"

Liu Bingzhong was calm and relaxed, and Cheng Zhu explained in his chest: "For example, this time, Huoluhai, Hunduhai and other generals marched from Guanzhong, although there were a lot of soldiers and horses, but they were not heavy soldiers, and the support for their troops was Sichuan, where there were their henchmen who were secretly on fire, If the soldiers and horses of Jingzhao Zhulu are dispatched by Xuanfu to make Lian Xixian under the control of Xuanfu and pacify those henchmen in Sichuan, then Huo Luhai and Hun Duhai will lose the supply of grain and grass in Sichuan, and they will retreat, and at this moment, Huo Luhai and others mobilized most of the soldiers and horses to march from Guanzhong, and at this moment the defense of Sichuan is weak, the Great Khan only needs to send an iron cavalry to raid Sichuan, which will definitely have a surprise effect, if Sichuan is hit, and the rear of Huoluhai becomes our position, then he must always be wary of us attacking them。 In this way, although it is a short-term and far-reaching, it is the most effective roundabout technique against the enemy. ”

After Zhang Rou and Dong Wenbing heard this, they were greatly admired, and Dong Wenbing said in a rough voice: "General Liu's strategy is really clever, and Dong admires it." ”

Kublai Khan also felt that it was subtle, so he asked again what the key attack was.

Liu Bingzhongfu calmly explained: "Now, in terms of the strength of soldiers and horses, the King of Mobei obviously has an advantage, according to the character of the King of Mobei, he will definitely take advantage of the unstable camp of the Great Khan, mobilize heavy troops to defeat the Great Khan in one fell swoop, and instigate Huo Luhai and Hun Duhai and others to attack the Great Khan from Guanzhong, nothing more than because, first, the King of Mobei himself is not ready for this big battle, and second, he wants to use the attack of Huo Luhai and the two to make us busy, so that we have no time to strengthen our own strength, to carefully prepare and deal with the upcoming decisive battle." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Rou and Dong Wenbing couldn't help nodding slightly, Fa Siba also felt sincere admiration for Liu Bingzhong's insight, and Kublai Khan wanted to hear Liu Bingzhong's countermeasures.

Liu Bingzhong continued: "This decisive battle seems to be unfavorable to the Great Khan, but the minister thinks that it is very beneficial to the Great Khan, and even to Mongolia. As he spoke, he looked slightly proud.

However, when it comes to this, Zhang Rou and Dong Wenbing are quite puzzled, what he and Liu Bingzhong think is the opposite, they know that the current army is insufficient, and they are very afraid that the king of Mobei will gather heavy troops to start an all-out war, so they are thinking about ways to deal with this situation day and night, and now they can't help but be confused when they hear Liu Bingzhong's words that he is looking forward to a full-scale war.

Not only Zhang Rou and Dong Wenbing were puzzled, but even Kublai Khan was confused by Liu Bingzhong's words at the moment, but Fa Si Pa was like a mirror.

"What does General Liu mean?" Kublai Khan asked,

Liu Bingzhong continued to explain: "Please think about it, if the war is decided, then there is no need to spend a longer time and spend more national strength in the internal strife of Mongolia, isn't it a blessing for Mongolia?"

Kublai Khan didn't think that the truth was as Liu Bingzhong said, he was worried: "Having said that, but now, our army has not recovered from the first battle in Ezhou, and the military strength has not yet recovered, and the strength of the army is very different from that of Ali Buge. ”

Kublai Khan's words made Zhang Rou and Dong Wenbing agree very much, and they also thought so in their hearts.

Liu Bingzhong's expression was determined, his eyes were like torches, and he confidently replied to Kublai Khan: "Doesn't the Great Khan have confidence? Why is the Great Khan afraid of the King of Mobei? Let the ministers carefully analyze it for the Great Khan, and the Great Khan will inevitably be pleased with the move of the King of Mobei. ”

Kublai Khan's expression was still frozen, but he also listened indifferently to what kind of analysis Liu Bingzhong would have.

Fa Siba already knew what Liu Bingzhong meant in his heart, so he listened to Liu Bingzhong's remarks silently.

Liu Bingzhong continued: "The minister thinks that in terms of the current situation, compared with the Great Khan and the King of Mobei, the Great Khan has six major chances of victory, and the King of Mobei has six major defeats. ”

Kublai Khan was worried and listless, and when he heard Liu Bingzhong's words, he couldn't help but lift his spirits, why did this king have six major chances of victory, and the king of Mobei had six major defeats, so he asked curiously,

"I want to hear about it!"

Liu Bingzhong replied calmly: "The Great Khan has the world in mind, has a long-term vision, and has the grand ambition of the ancestor Genghis Khan, while the king of Mobei is confined to the Mobei clan, limited to the Mongolian khan, but has no far-sighted plans for the world. ”

"The Great Khan embraced the Han land, and the selection of talents could not avoid the clan relatives and the Han people, and this kind of cherished mind attracted the world's wise men to serve willingly, and the king of Mobei avoided his relatives, and only the Mongolian clan relatives in his eyes, but he has always been racist, suspicious of employing people, and his subordinates are loyal but not loyal, this is the second chance of victory for the Great Khan, and the king of Mobei is defeated. ”

"The Great Khan decided to be a god of martial arts, dared to accept the true views of the soldiers, did not forget to discuss with the ministers in case of major events, the military and political affairs were therefore not tired, and the king of Mobei was stubborn and self-serving, only through military affairs, did not know how to govern, the army was in danger and the government was weak, this was the three chances of victory for the Great Khan, and the king of Mobei was defeated three times. ”

"The Great Khan sits on the Han land and the Mongolian realm, and has the resources of soldiers, horses, grain and grass in the two places, while the king of Mobei lives in the northern border of Mongolia, and the resources are not as good as the Great Khan; ”

"The Great Khan has always been heart-to-heart, with personal spiritual charm and friendship with people, although there is no benefit, everyone will be willing to support; the king of Mobei has always been not kind to the people's hearts, this time to win the support, are based on interests, unpopular, seemingly stable chain of interests, in fact, it is vulnerable; this is the five chances of the Great Khan, the five defeats of the king of Mobei. ”

"The Great Khan is not expensive with soldiers, and the heavy military art surprise attack despises the frontal hard attack, leads the troops in a good way, has a way to attack the city, attacks and defends properly, and can judge the situation; ”......
