Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2455: Yuan-Mongol Disagreement, Maodun's Ambition

Of course, Kublai Khan, as the crown prince of the Mongol Empire and now the actual ruler of the Empire, was very interested in the alliance proposed by Ardashir.

However, there were some objections throughout the Yuan Dynasty.

Even among the Han faction that had always supported Kublai Khan, not everyone agreed with this matter.

After all, the responsibility of Kublai Khan's advisers was to offer advice and suggestions, not to blindly follow everything Kublai Khan said.

A group of people led by Yelu Chucai, including several of Kublai Khan's advisers, had certain doubts about this matter.

Everyone is considering whether Yuan Meng has enough power to intervene in this matter at this time?
After all, the Parthian Empire is not a small force. If they want to get involved, the amount of force they will invest will definitely not be small!
At this stage, Tuoba Wei and the Qing Dynasty, who are also on the grassland, are not a concern, but the Jin Empire in the south is a problem they can never avoid.

Eight years ago, in the Battle of Xizhou and the Battle of Liangzhou, the Jin army suffered heavy losses.

In fact, everything that happened afterwards was caused by what happened here.

It was precisely because of these two battlefields that the entire world fell into a catastrophe.

People like Yelu Chucai don't think that the Jin army will let this matter go so easily.

Now, eight years have passed. After three years of the epidemic and five years of recovery, the Jin army has almost recovered to its peak, but looking back at them, they have not yet recovered to their peak period.

Therefore, at this time, many people had considerable doubts about investing a large amount of manpower in the west.

Especially the group represented by the Murong family, they are the main opposition force in this incident.

Their Murong Khanate was the first barrier facing the Jin Dynasty. If they really invested a lot of manpower in the west and had a conflict with the Jin army at this stage, then their Murong Khanate would become the main force to resist the Jin army.

By that time, the losses of the Murong Khanate would definitely not be small.

As for the supporters, they were basically concentrated in the Batu Khanate, the Hulagu Khanate and the Luandi Khanate. These three khanates were all close to the Parthian Empire.

Although the Parthian Empire was in chaos at this time, it was precisely because of the chaos that they were able to profit from it. In the past few years, they themselves had gained a lot of benefits from the Parthian Empire.

A large part of the income from the slave trade fell into the pockets of these three khanates. Especially the Hulagu Khanate, which became the most powerful among the six khanates through the slave trade.

Relying on its natural geographical advantages, even the first established Luandi Khanate was left behind the Hulagu Khanate in terms of comprehensive strength.

Among the six khanates, the ones that the Yuan Mongols supported the most were naturally the three khanates that had the blood of the Borjigin family: the Ögedei Khanate, the Batu Khanate, and the Hulagu Khanate.

These three khanates are obviously superior to the other three khanates in terms of geographical advantages, domestic resources, or area, and are one step ahead in terms of foundation.

Of these three khanates, the Jalari Khanate should be the next in line. Muqali was not only Temujin's earliest general, but also his most trusted general.

Perhaps Murong Ke and Murong Chui's status among the many generals of the Yuan Dynasty is no worse than Mu Huali, or even higher than him. However, in Temujin's heart, Murong Ke and Murong Chui can never compare with Mu Huali, Jebe, and Timur.

Moreover, compared with the Murong family, Mu Huali had a very poor background in the Yuan Mongols. Born a slave, there was a fundamental difference between him and a large family like the Murong family.

Therefore, when both of them were granted khanates, the Yuan Mongols were naturally more willing to support the Jalal Khanate. After all, the Jalal Khanate was naturally determined to be less likely to pose a threat to the centralization of the Yuan Mongols than the Murong Khanate.

It is also because of this that among the six khanates, the Murong Khanate and the Luandi Khanate were much inferior to the remaining four khanates in terms of conditions in all aspects.

The Luandi Khanate represented the most powerful family of the Yuan Mongols besides the Golden Family, the Luandi family, plus Maodun himself. Even if he granted them the Khanate, he naturally had to keep them under tight control.

The Murong Khanate was one of the most powerful forces born out of the Xianbei. After entering Yuan Mongolia, it was completely integrated into Yuan Mongolia for several years and was directly transformed into a top family power in Yuan Mongolia.

The most crucial thing is that although the Luanti family is powerful and has the support of the old Xiongnu nobles, the family itself is scattered, and many people are not in agreement with Maodun.

Even the old Xiongnu nobles only promoted Maodun as their representative, which did not mean that they would completely follow his lead. When it came to their interests, they would not necessarily continue to stand behind Maodun.

But the Murong family is much more united than the Luandi family, and does not have as many problems as them.

Among the Batu Khanate, the Hulagu Khanate and the Luandi Khanate, the Luandi Khanate was the most enthusiastic about this matter.

The overall location of the Luandi Khanate is in the northwest corner of the Yuan Dynasty Mongolian Empire. If the Luandi Khanate wants to grow and become stronger, it can only develop westward.

If you go north, the further north you go, the colder and bitterer it gets. Even the men on the grassland cannot withstand the bitter cold in the north.

Therefore, developing westwards is the only direction available to Maodun.

After all, even if they were in alliance with Ardashir, it did not mean that if they wanted to attack the Parthian Empire, all the territory of the Parthian Empire would be handed over to them. Territory was something that belonged to whoever could conquer it.

Even if the two parties are in an alliance, it still depends on the abilities of each side.

If the other party was not capable enough, even if Maodun killed him, no one else could say anything.

Of course, Maodun could only think about this kind of thing. If he only relied on the Luandi Khanate without the help of other khanates or the headquarters of the Yuan Dynasty, he could not be a match for Ardashir.

Ardashir, a great ruler who destroyed the Parthian Empire and established the Second Persian Empire, was naturally not one of them.
