Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

After all, he was the nominal commander-in-chief of this Western Expedition, and Zhang Yong, the battle strategist this time, had the idea. Subotai was responsible for blocking this gap, while Batu was in charge of the overall situation.

In terms of military exploits, he himself doesn't think he lost to Zhang Yong and Su Butai. Since everyone thinks so, he would be disrespectful. Mongolians do not have the same shirk as the Han people.

Sometimes they even get into fights to compete for credit.

"Of course, other people have contributed a lot in this war. For all the generals, princes, thousands households, and hundreds households who have made meritorious services, I will write down all your achievements, record them clearly, send them back to Mongolia, and hand them over to the Great Khan. Award." Batu said.

Of course, no one has any complaints about this.

After the end of the Western Expedition, the Mongolian Great Khan Ogedei would indeed reward all the soldiers who participated in the Western Expedition, and would even divide territories among his sons just like Genghis Khan did in his first Western Expedition.

As for Huang, the main contributor to this Western Expedition, anyone who is a member of the Golden Family will receive a piece of territory.

Other Mongolian generals will more or less be promoted to some official positions, or receive compensation from herders, cattle and sheep.

"Grand Duke Kalman of Croatia, the military advisor and I have rewarded you with a thousand war horses before, and now I want to reward you as well.

I will exempt your country from taxes for three years. You will not need to pay taxes to the Great Mongol Empire for the next three years. You will only need to pay taxes to Mongolia in the fourth year. Batu said.

Duke Kalman played a vital role in the success of this strategic plan, so he must be rewarded well.

If there are only a thousand war horses, they probably won't be able to stop the crowd. After all, the Mongols care about military merit.

But he had no land to reward him. After all, he was a surrendered servant country and could not reward him with land.

So after much thought, Batu decided to exempt the Croatian Grand Duke from paying taxes for three years, so that he would not need to pay taxes to Mongolia for three years.

Mongolia adopts a tax farming system, and as the leader of the Jochi family, he will establish the largest khanate here in the future, so Batu believes that he is also qualified to exempt the Croatian Grand Duke from taxes.

This was a very important reward, and even the Grand Duke of Croatia was a little flattered. However, he soon became worried, and even a trace of sweat flowed from his forehead. He didn't know whether he should accept it or not.
Please, I'm not your subordinate! Although you are the commander-in-chief of the Xi Zhen Army, I am a subordinate of Zhang Yong, the military counselor, and I will also rely on Guiyou's family to make a living in the future.

The several neighboring countries next to him, the Kingdom of Hungary, the Bulgarian Empire, the Principality of Serbia, and even the Eastern Roman Empire, are all members of this military King John.

At this juncture, if I accept your reward and let you exempt me from taxes for three years, will this be exempted or not? Have I joined your forces?

How will Guiyou deal with himself when he comes back? And what does Zhang Yong, who is watching here now, think of himself?

"Why, don't you accept my reward? Do you think this reward is a little too little?" Batu picked up the wine glass, took a small sip, and looked at the Croatian Crown Prince and asked.

Hearing this, Kalman was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat, and the sweat on his back even wet his shirt.

Come on asshole! It's okay for you guys to fight for power and gain, why did you drag me into this? I don't want to get involved in your affairs, why should you involve me?

I am just an ordinary Grand Duke. I have never thought about fighting for power, I just want to keep my principality.

"Hahaha! Batu is so scared. How can he not accept such a generous reward?

Kalman, just accept it. This time you will be exempted from taxes for three years, and you will not need to pay taxes to the Mongolian Empire for the next three years. "Zhang Yong patted the Croatian Grand Duke Kalman on the shoulder and said.

If he doesn't come forward, the Grand Duke will be scared to death!

This was Batu's move, and Zhang Yong could see it. This guy Batu might have gotten some information from within Mongolia.

I am afraid that I am not the only one who knows about Ogedai's stroke. After all, Fatima will send a message to herself in private, and someone from the Mongolian headquarters will also send a message to Batu in private.

And the person who sent the message to Batu was most likely Tuo Lei's wife who instigated Luheteni.

But Zhang Yong also knew that the other party would never know more information than he did. He only knew about Wo Kuotai's stroke, but did not know that Wo Kuotai had issued some wills.

"Hahaha! That's right. This is my reward for you. From now on, the entire west of this land will be commanded by me, Batu." Batu said with a smile.

This sentence was not meant to be taboo at all, it was stated directly.

Zhang Yong, who was standing aside, smiled and said nothing because someone had already jumped out.

"Commander Batu! This land in the west was conquered by all of us. The letter sent by the Great Khan also said that five khanates will be established here in the future, and you are just one of them." An inspector The prince from the Hetai family spoke up.

This time, Meng Ge, the eldest son of the Tole family, will establish a khanate here, and Kuolejian, the younger son of Genghis Khan who has died, will establish a khanate here.

Guyuk, the eldest son who oversees our country, will establish a khanate of his own, and their Chahetai family, Baidar, the eldest son, will also establish a khanate.

No matter how you say it, you are not the boss at least because of it, and Baidar will not obey you.

"Everyone! I, Brother Meng, have decided that the Great Khan will reward me with all the territory and the territory I got for my contribution to the Western Expedition.

Give it all to Brother Batu. I will tell the Khan personally about this after we return to Mongolia. "At this moment, Brother Meng stood up and said.

They did receive the news. Their mother, Luheteni, sent a messenger to tell them about the incident as soon as Ogedai Khan suffered a stroke.

What is a stroke? On the Mongolian grasslands, as long as you have a stroke, you are basically close to death, his mother estimated.

Ogedai wouldn't even be able to survive and would die on their way to the west.

In the letter, her mother told herself that they should quickly end the Western Expedition and then return to prepare to compete for the position of the Mongolian Khan.

If Wokuotai dies, then there will be an opportunity for their Tuolei family to rise again.

In the past few years, since his father's death, Meng Ge knows better than anyone how their family came to be and how they were suppressed by Wokuotai.

This time, he used the Western Expedition to gain the power to establish the country in exchange for Batu's support. With the military exploits of this Western Expedition, he could definitely gain a foothold in Mongolia.

He even consolidated the power left by his father in Mobei Mongolia and competed with Guiyou for the throne.

Hearing this, everyone present could not sit still. All the princes did not expect that Meng Ge would give up all the rewards he had received in the West to Batu.

Please, am I mistaken? What exactly do you think?

This is an opportunity to establish a khanate. You can become a khan!
The status of the khan in Mongolia is second only to the Great Khan of Mongolia, and is above all the kings, and is supreme in Mongolia.

Among the khanates established during this Western Expedition, Batu, as the one who contributed the most, would naturally gain the largest territory.

Coupled with Meng Ge's, there is no doubt that he is the most powerful in the West.

At this time, all the Mongolian generals and princes in the tent looked at Meng Ge with complicated expressions. How much did Meng Ge admire Batu who could give up such huge power?
At this time, Xu Liegu's face, standing in the crowd, was extremely gloomy. For this period of time, he had been persuading his elder brother.

Persuade him not to give up all of his territory, but only give away half, or 2/3, even leaving 1/3 of the land for himself!

But what about his eldest brother Meng Ge’s answer! I won't give you a cent. You have to go back to the east with me honestly and help me fight for the position of Great Khan of Mongolia.

This was his extremely domineering eldest brother, who seemed so righteous in front of others and gave up everything he had gained through sacrifice to Batu.

But who am I? I’m just your tool!
Big brother, big brother, you are not even willing to leave me a little thing.

Xu Liegu's face gradually darkened.

"Hahaha, congratulations to you Batu. In the future, you will be the deserving leader of the kings in this land of the west. I will ask you to take good care of my son when he lives here in the future!" Zhang Yong smiled. He smiled and said.

There is no way, Guyu, the kid, cannot stay here to compete with Batu for the throne. He must return to Mongolia, and once he leaves, he will not be qualified to stay here and establish the Khanate. The boy Batu is sure of this. Guyu the boy will never give up his position as the Great Khan of Mongolia. He will definitely return to the mainland of Mongolia.

Therefore, his family will definitely dominate this land in the future. This is the main reason why he said this today.

So no matter what, you have to let Baidar establish a country here. After the Bohemian area is pacified, you can talk to Baidar in private about this matter.

"Hahaha! Master Military Advisor, don't worry, our two families are in-laws, so we will naturally need to take more care of them in the future." Batu said.

"Haha! Of course." Zhang Yong said.

At the following banquet, everyone drank and ate meat and never talked about anything else.

Late that night, when Zhang Yong was sleeping, a voice came from outside the tent. The guards who heard the noise immediately woke Zhang Yong.

"Master Military Advisor, Hulagu has come to pay his respects."

Hulagu? This boy, why did this boy come to see me? And it's so late.

Our two families are mortal enemies!
"Master Military Advisor, I have very important information to tell you. Please let me enter the account and explain it." Xu Liewu said.

Zhang Yong thought for a moment, nodded to the guards outside the door, and motioned for them to let Xu Liewu in.

"Prince Hulagu, do you know what's the reason for your late night visit?" Zhang Yong simply put on a piece of clothing and sat on the bedside and asked.

"Master Military Advisor, people are talking too much. Please withdraw all your guards. I have something very important to tell you. This news cannot be known to others." Xuliewu glanced at Zhang Yong's personal bodyguards and spoke. said.

Holy shit! Let my personal guard go out, you won't want to assassinate me, right?

"It doesn't matter. They are all my personal guards. If you have anything to do, just say it." Zhang Yong said.

When Xu Liewu heard this, he immediately took off his saber and placed it outside the tent. He even took off his armor and came to Zhang Yong wearing only a coarse cloth.

"Master Military Advisor, this is indeed an urgent matter. Please believe me. You must believe me. Only the two of us know about this matter." Hulagu said.

"Yeah! Okay, you guys go out and keep watch and pull up the tent for me." Zhang Yong said.

If he really wanted to assassinate him, he wouldn't have had to do it himself, and he did.

The entire Tuo Lei family will be buried with him, Zhang Yong still has this confidence, and the other party has no weapons. When he has weapons on his side, it is not certain who will kill whom!

And I still have assassins hiding!
"There is no one in this tent now. If you have anything to say, just say it." Zhang Yong said after all the guards left.

"Master Military Advisor, my eldest brother Meng Ge received a letter from my mother Luheteni. This is a secret letter.

The Great Khan of Mongolia, Wokuotai, suffered a stroke due to drinking and went hunting on horseback. Now he is speechless and fell on the hospital bed.

I'm afraid it won't be long before this news reaches the Mongolian headquarters. I'll tell you this in advance. "Xulegu said.

Hearing this, Zhang Yong showed a very surprised expression on his face.

Eyes widened, mouth agape.

Sure enough, as I expected, Tuo Lei's wife Luheteni was not a fuel-efficient lamp, wasn't she?
In the original history, Guyu wanted to secretly send troops to deal with Batu.

It was Luheteni who instigated him to secretly send a message to Batu, so that Batu could prepare in advance.

Some unofficial histories even say that the reason why Guyou died of illness on the way to the Western Expedition to Batu was because of this woman's poisoning.

After Meng Ge came to power, he also helped his son to carry out a major purge of the Wokuotai family.

"What? Don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, Dahan, Dahan, how could he have a stroke?" Zhang Yong said.

"Master Military Advisor, what I said is all the truth, and there is absolutely no lie.

This news was delivered personally by my mother, and now some people in Mongolia already know about it. My brother Meng Ge secretly told Batu about it. "Xulegu said.

"So you came here and told me this?" Zhang Yong asked.

Sometimes a family is not monolithic! This phenomenon is most common in the Golden Family. The internal fighting of the Golden Family can be said to have directly led to the collapse of the Mongol Empire to a certain extent.

"Master Military Advisor! There is one more thing I want to tell you. I have been holding it in my heart for a long time.

I have always wanted to speak out and identify the despicable villain Meng Ge. "Xulegu said with a very distressed expression.

"Oh! You said Brother Meng is a despicable person. What do you mean by that?" Zhang Yong asked.

"Master Military Advisor, I'm afraid you don't know that your brother, your wife's brother, Prince Kuolejian was killed by Meng Ge." Xu Liegu said.

Holy shit, this guy dropped a lot of bombshells today!
But I know this was done by your Tuolei family, but I don’t know who did it.

"Do you have any evidence? If there is no evidence, some things cannot be said nonsense!" Zhang Yong looked very shocked and even asked while pretending to be trembling slightly.

"Master Military Advisor, Brother Meng did this, and Batu also knew that he helped Brother Meng hide the matter.

It is precisely because of this that my eldest brother gave all his territory to Batu because he knew, think about it, who is willing to give up the establishment of a khanate!

If Batu conceals it for him, then this matter will definitely be known to you and to Ogedai Khan, and then Meng Ge will be finished.

That's why he gave up all the land in exchange for Batu's help in concealing it. I disdain to be associated with such a despicable villain. "Xulegu said with a sad look on his face.

This is a seamless statement. Why did Brother Meng give his territory to Batu for no reason?
Isn’t it because Brother Meng killed Prince Kuolejian and then needed Batu’s help to hide it?

Hearing this, Zhang Yong had an undetectable smile on his face.

This guy is very bad, very bad, but he can be used.

"This matter, this matter, you, how did you know about it? Do you have any direct evidence?" Zhang Yong stood up pretending to be angry and said while pacing back and forth in the tent.

"Master Military Advisor, please believe me. I can vouch for my personality, and if necessary, I can personally stand up and testify and identify Brother Meng." Xuliewu said excitedly.

"Why did you do this? Come and tell me all this. What do you want from me? Just tell me." Zhang Yong asked.

"Master Military Advisor, I am a person with no ambitions. I just want to have a fiefdom of my own and live a stable life. Please help me! Let me tell Brother Guyu." Xu Liewu said.

You are a person with no ambitions. You just want a piece of your own territory to live, so go ahead and cheat! If I didn't know who you are, I would have believed you.

Boy, if you want to lie to me, you are still a bit immature.

"I'm just an ordinary Mongolian sect king. How am I qualified to entrust you with territory?" Zhang Yong said.

"Master Military Advisor, I know that you are in a high position and Brother Guyu believes in you. I only want you to promise me that when Guyu becomes the new Khan of Mongolia in the future, you will do it for the sake of me telling the truth today.

Give me a piece of land and let our Tuo Lei family go, and I will be satisfied. "Xulegu said. (End of this chapter)
