Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

In the Mongolian military camp, Batu summoned all the princes, eldest sons of ten thousand households, Mongolian generals, even some Western princes, and military representatives sent by some servant countries to the scene.

There was no way, this time the team of messengers was really a bit big, with more than two hundred people in total. It was obvious that they had an important mission this time.

The messenger first announced the news of Ogedai Khan's stroke in front of everyone, and then told everyone that although Ogedai Khan had suffered a stroke, fortunately, he was blessed by the immortal god. There was no danger to his life at the moment. He just needed to rest. He was currently under the care of the Queen. Torregona is responsible for supervising the country.

"Where is Zhang Yong, King of Guanzhong?" the Mongolian envoy said after looking around at the crowd.

When Zhang Yong heard this, he immediately stood up and spoke. :
"I am Zhang Yong, the king of Guanzhong. I wonder what the envoy's important purpose is for coming here this time?"

"I pay homage to the King of Guanzhong and ask him to listen to the orders of Great Khan Ogedai and pass on the will of the Great Khan. Zhang Yong, King of Guanzhong, the military advisor of the Western Expedition. In this Western Expedition, he defeated most enemies and destroyed countless countries. He worked hard and achieved great results, but he did not receive any land reward. In fact, It's unfair.

Therefore, Zhang Yong, the king of Guanzhong, is appointed as the national advisor of the Great Mongolian Kingdom. He will reward cattle, sheep and horses, 10,000 skins each, and some gold, silver and jewels. King Guanzhong, I am here to appoint you as the national advisor of the Great Mongolian Kingdom. In addition, your Some business operations, as well as rewards of cattle, sheep and horses, have been sent back to the Guanzhong area in advance, and were accepted by Princess Tulan Lun. "The Mongolian envoy bowed to Zhang Yong and then said loudly.

At the same time, he took out the official seal and gold medal that he had prepared in advance.

This is indeed a bombshell, I didn't expect it. The Mongolian headquarters would actually confer Zhang Yong as the National Advisor of the Great Mongolian Kingdom, but they had no national advisor in Mongolia before. For these princes, this is just a title, not much different from the Mongolian Prime Minister.

It didn't cause much trouble. All the princes, including Batu and Meng Ge, gave symbolic congratulations to Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong was also a little confused at this time. Damn, did I make a mistake?

The Mongolian envoy actually conferred upon himself the title of National Advisor of the Great Mongolian Kingdom. Am I replacing Pasiba?
And it was Wo Kuotai’s will. Didn’t Wo Kuotai suffer a stroke? How could he suddenly send a decree and confer him the title of National Preceptor of the Mongolian Kingdom? Or is there another meaning here?
Still speaking, this decree was actually secretly manipulated by Torregona and Fatima. However, Zhang Yong still very politely accepted his official seal and the gold medal for side seals.

"Master National Preceptor, the formal canonization ceremony needs to be held in Harakhorin, the mainland of Mongolia. Please lead the Western Expedition army back."

As soon as these words came out, not only Zhang Yong was a little confused, but all the Mongolian generals and princes present, including the commander Batu, were shocked.

Batu originally thought that when the Mongolian envoy arrived this time, he would announce the death of Ogedai. After all, the Great Khan Ogedai had suffered a stroke, and the Mongols knew very well what a stroke was.

There are many middle-aged men on the grassland who will suffer from this disease after the age of fifty, and even in their forties.

Once you get this disease, you are basically in a state of being disabled and will die soon.

But the strange thing is that not only did Wo Kuotai not die, but he also conveyed his decree and conferred Zhang Yong as the Mongolian National Guard. They could accept it, but what would happen if the Western Expedition army returned?
Batu glanced at Meng Ge, his eyes full of questions. According to the speed of the messenger's arrival this time, it has been more than a month since Meng Ge's mother sent the letter. It will take at least 4 to 5 months to get here from Mongolia headquarters. time.

So in terms of the current situation in Wokuotai, is he dead or not?
"Messenger! Our Western Expeditionary Army is currently advancing with great momentum. How can we stop now?

The goal of this western expedition is to reach the end of the sea! Batu asked.

The original plan goal this time was to break through the Kingdom of France and reach the end of the sea. Now they have just defeated the main army of the Holy Roman Empire and are picking up his remnants.

If they withdraw their troops at this time, they will not be able to harvest the great fruits of victory.

During this period of time, Batu was not idle. Instead, he sent troops from his own family, troops from the Tuo Lei family, and some troops from the Northern Servant Kingdom to attack the German region.

It has seized many small fortresses in the German region, and now it has successfully forced a certain Holy Roman Emperor into a desperate situation.

It only takes a little more time to wipe out all the fortresses in the German region, completely capture the Holy Roman Empire, and then make contact with the Kingdom of France.

After another year or two, Batu will be confident of conquering the Kingdom of France. The sudden end of the Western Expedition at this time is definitely not good news for the Jochi family.

"Messenger, you just said that Ogedai Khan had a stroke and was ill. How could he write a decree for you? Did Ogedai Khan say this decree? Or did the queen say it?" Meng Ge said.

"You don't know. Ogedai is sweating profusely. He has indeed suffered a stroke. He can't speak or move his body. However, he still has a clear sense of self. Currently, Queen Tolegona is taking care of her. All the will of the prison country is also handled by the queen. "Conveyed," the Mongolian envoy said.

"In this case, then this is not the will of Ogedai Khan, but the Queen's. In this Western Expedition, we only obey the orders of Ogedai Khan, and the Khan's order is to fight to the end of the sea. This A western expedition cannot end," Meng Ge said.

At this time, Meng Ge was keenly aware of something. If he ended the Western Expedition now and led all the troops back east, then this Western Expedition would be meaningless. Wo Kuotai would never issue such an order.

This order was obviously not issued by Ogedei, but by his queen, Tolegona.

"Since the Great Khan is seriously ill, as the eldest son, Guiyu should go back to visit him!
It is a joy to congratulate the military advisor for being canonized as a national advisor. He should return to his headquarters in Mongolia to accept the canonization.

But we and the Western Expeditionary Army should continue to carry out the orders of the Great Khan and continue the Western Expedition. " Batu said.

Batu will never return to Mongolia. If he returns to Mongolia now, what will happen to the country he has built?
At least the main legion of the Holy Roman Empire must be annihilated.

"Yeah, we all know what a stroke is. Once you have a stroke, you can't speak, and Wo Kuotai is sweating profusely. How can you convey your will?" Handal also said.

"If our Mongolian army on expedition wants to return, there are only three situations. First, we successfully completed the goal of the Western Expedition and reached the end of the sea.

Secondly, we were defeated and had no choice but to return eastward. Thirdly, the Great Khan died. All the descendants of the Golden Family needed to return to Hara and Forest to hold the Khuriltai Conference to re-elect the Great Khan and hold a funeral for the old Great Khan.

Now Ogedai is sweating profusely and is only seriously ill. We cannot return eastward. "A Jochi Prince said.

To suddenly order the Western Expeditionary Army to return, there must be reasonable conditions, but only if the Khan is seriously ill.

Then just let his eldest son return and be conferred the title of National Advisor of the Mongolian Kingdom. Then just let the military advisor return. The Western Expedition Army will not turn back.

If you want to return, there must be a suitable reason.

"Please ask the envoy to enter the military camp and take a rest first! We will hold a meeting immediately to discuss these matters." Batu said.

Anyway, it is impossible for him to return to the east now. Batu has never thought of returning to the east. When Genghis Khan divided his sons among his sons, the Jochi family had already taken root in the west.

Moreover, Batu will not give up the Kipchak grassland, this land. In the future, he will establish his own khanate here. He doesn't like some lands in Khwarezm at all. The Mongols don't like the climate and environment there very much.

The Qinchao prairie is their ideal land and ideal prairie. (The Qinchak Grassland is larger than the entire Northern Song Dynasty. It is an extremely good treasure land for nomads.)
The Mongolian envoy also nodded. After all, he was just a messenger. How the generals of the Western Expedition Army would decide depends on what they wanted.

However, before leaving, Torregona also told him that no matter what, the Ogedei family and military advisor Zhang Yong's army must be allowed to return.

Soon Batu convened the highest-level military meeting in the military tent. This time outsiders were not allowed to participate. Only Mongolian princes and the eldest sons of more than 10,000 households could participate.

"Everyone, let's discuss whether to return east or continue the westward expedition?" Batu said. "I don't care what you think. I have decided to lead my army back to Karakorum." Guyuk was the first to stand up and speak.

"Prince Guyuk is the eldest son of the Great Khan. The Great Khan is seriously ill and should return eastward." Batu stood up and nodded.

Anyway, Batu cannot command the army of the Ogedei family. Instead of letting Guyu stay here, it is better to let him return east. In this case, the Mongolian Western Expedition army may be more united.

Regarding this point, all the princes present and the eldest son of Wanhu had no objection. After all, Guyu was the eldest son of Ogedai. His father Khan was seriously ill and it was natural for him to return home.

"Brother Meng, as my younger brother, you will return eastward with me, and the Tolei family's army will also leave at full speed." Guyu said.

Hearing this, Brother Meng's expression suddenly turned pale. He really wanted to return eastward, but that was after waiting for Wo Kuotai to die. If he goes back now, his life may not be guaranteed!
But maybe he can take a gamble and bet that Wo Kuotai will die on their way back east. According to the speed of news transmission, when they return to Hala and Lin, the Western Expedition Army will return.

It is also six months later. In addition to the time when the Mongolian envoys arrived, it has been almost a year since Ogedai suffered a stroke. It is really unknown whether he will survive.

"Yes! Anyway, Meng Ge does not plan to establish his own khanate here. He will hand over all his territories to Batu and should return to Mongolia." Zhang Yong said.

The Tuolei family has an army of 50,000. It is impossible to leave these 50,000 troops to Batu. I have to find a way to take them away.

"Prince Mengge should make his own decision on this matter," Batu said.

If you can delay it now, it is best to let Brother Meng return after Wokuotai's death. It is useless for Brother Meng to go back at this time, and a stroke patient will not live long.

"Brother Meng, you are my father's adopted son. Tell yourself, will you come back with me?" Guyu asked.

"Even if we want to return eastward, we should first defeat the remaining troops of the Holy Roman Empire and then return eastward." Meng Ge said.

"What if my father Khan cannot sustain the army that defeated the Holy Roman Empire? Won't you go see my father Khan for the last time?" Guyu asked.

As soon as these words came out, Meng Ge was immediately pushed to a critical point.

"If all the troops of the Ogedai family, the Torre family, the military advisor, and the Xixia army return eastward at this time, then our Mongolian army will be reduced by more than half, and only Chagatai and Jochi will be left. The army of the first line only has 130,000 soldiers and horses at most," Subotai said.

After everyone left, there were only a few slave-state armies left. Among these slave-state armies, only Northern Rus and the Principality of Novgorod were determined to follow Mongolia, and the others were just facilitators.

South Ross area. Bulgaria, Croatia, Serbia, Hungary, and the Eastern Roman Empire were all brought here by military advisors.

If the military advisor leaves, these armies will leave. Moreover, the Chagatai family has always been at odds with the Jochi family. Even if Baidar does not leave, Batu cannot command Batu and must rely on Subutai. Only then.

"Hahaha! Now the Holy Roman Empire's army is nothing more than a bunch of rotten fish and shrimps. Even if the military advisor and the troops of the Wokuotai family leave, I, Batu, am confident of annihilating them. However, the Tolei family The army must stay," Batu said.

Now the main army of the Holy Roman Empire, the only cavalry force that poses a threat to Mongolia, has been annihilated.

The remaining infantrymen were huddled in the castle to defend themselves. Batu was still confident that he could annihilate them, but he still wanted to keep them if the Tole family's army could stay.

"My brother Hedan will stay here to take care of the territory that belongs to me and the territory of Prince Kuolejian. Baidar will also stay here and establish his own khanate." Guyuk said.

"The troops of the Chahotai family will stay and cooperate with you in continuing the Western Expedition. As for the armies of the slave countries under my command, the armies of Hungary, the Eastern Roman Empire, Serbia and Croatia will return, and the Kievan Rus' army will also return.

However, the newly conquered Austrian region, as well as some German regions and Bohemian regions, can be canonized to Henry VII, allowing him to command the region and form an army of servants to follow the Western Expedition. "Zhang Yong said.

Henry VII, the son of the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, now is the time to play a little role. During this period, with the support of Zhang Yong, this kid has won the support of many lords of the Austrian and German regions, and now he also has . An army of two to three thousand men.

However, half of the German region he was thinking about was still unconquered, but the territories in Austria and Bohemia could also make up for this.

Zhang Yong planned to hand over control of Henry VII to Batu, which would be a favor to Batu.

"Master Military Advisor, can you give me the command of the 20,000-strong army of Kievan Rus?" Batu asked.

"They have been away from home fighting for many years, and I also want to rectify the Kievan Rus region, so these troops cannot be handed over to you." Zhang Yong shook his head and said.

This Kievan Rus' army has been completely tamed by him for several years. These are the people he stayed to guard the Rus' area.

"Where are the Serbian and Croatian troops?" Batu asked.

The combined armies of these two principalities amount to more than 10,000 people, which is also a good boost.

"If the two Grand Dukes are willing to continue to follow the Western Expedition, I have no objection." Zhang Yong said.

Just kidding, as long as you take the lead, these two guys will definitely run away with you. After all, these two princes have made a lot of money in this war!

Moreover, in the future, these two people will also stay together for warmth, and my status is different now. I am the national division commander of the Mongolian Kingdom. You, Batu, the commander-in-chief, cannot order me.

What's more, the secret message left by Wokuotai is still there! As long as this thing is taken out, it can even directly deprive Batu of his identity as the commander-in-chief of this Western Expedition.

Batu wanted to say something more, but Subutai on the side stopped him. Others didn't know what Zhang Yong had in his hands, but he didn't know it. After all, Wokuotai had told him.

As a minister, he naturally had to obey the orders of the Great Khan. If Zhang Yong really took out the things, then he must cooperate and deprive Batu of the commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition.

"Master Imperial Master! If we return eastward, we are not in a hurry. Leading the army to leave now will be very detrimental to our western expedition.

Why don't we postpone it for another two months to completely defeat the Holy Roman Empire? After two months, you can lead the army back east, and then you can take the Tolei family's army with you. Subotai said.

Two months is enough time to completely defeat the Holy Roman Empire. By then, the independent French Kingdom will be able to be dealt with by the armies of the Jochi family alone.

"In that case, let's do it! No matter whether we succeed or fail in two months, whether we can defeat the Holy Roman Empire, you, the national counselor, will return eastward with Prince Guyu and Prince Mengge." Batu said.

Brother Meng obviously can't keep him. If that's the case, let's try for two months.

In two months, the Mongolian army came out in full force, and the German region could not stop it. After annihilating the only coalition force that threatened Mongolia, it was not too late to return eastward.

This is considered a small concession from Batu. Now it depends on what Zhang Yong means. (End of chapter)
