Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

After Zhang Yong heard this, he wanted to laugh a little. Why should I agree to your request?

Delaying here for two months will be of great benefit to you, but it will not be of any benefit to me, and leaving the Holy Roman Empire to maintain a certain combat effectiveness will also be of certain benefit to Zhang Yong.

He could not let Batu be invincible in the West, and the Golden Horde became the father of all European countries.

"General Subotai! Why don't you, Batudu, stay here and stay on the front line to fight the enemy. I will take Guiyou back to the rear first to prepare for the withdrawal." Zhang Yong said.

"Master National Preceptor, aren't you even willing to give me this thin noodles? It's just a two-month delay." Batu said.

This time, Batu was a little angry. As the commander-in-chief of this Western Expedition, I have always been respectful to Zhang Yong, the military advisor. But at the critical moment, can't you, the military advisor, give me a piece of thin noodles?

"Commander Batu, I can wait, you can wait, and the entire Western Expeditionary Army can wait, but can Ogedai Khan afford it? The Khan is seriously ill now, so naturally I have to take him with me as the eldest son. Guyu hurried to Hala and Forest.

How can we waste time here? Besides, I have to go back to Hungary to arrange some things in Hungary, and I don’t have time to stay here at all. "Zhang Yong said.

Just listen to bang! A sound!
Batu slammed the wine glass on the ground and looked at Zhang Yong with an unkind expression.

"Master Military Advisor, I will give you face, but please also give me three points of face as the commander-in-chief. I want you to stay for three months now. After three months, you can leave with Guyu, but within these three months , you have to stay and help us fight and completely annihilate the Holy Roman Empire before you can leave," Batu said.

Now it is no longer a matter of two months. I will detain all your troops for three months. You have to give this face whether you give it or not.

Otherwise, where would I put my face as the commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition? I have discussed this with you so politely, but you still don't listen to me.

This movement frightened all the Mongolian generals and princes present. They had never imagined that Batu, who had always had a gentle temper, would become so angry for the first time.

This was the first time they had seen such a majestic Batu.

With a bang, Guyu who was sitting next to him knocked the table to the ground, stood up suddenly, and glared at Batu.

Baida'er and Hedan also stood up and came to Guiyou's side. Chahan also sighed, put down his wine glass, stood up and came to Zhang Yong's side.

Not to be outdone, several princes from the Jochi family overturned the table in front of them and came behind Batu.

The atmosphere in the big tent became tense instantly. The two groups of people looked at each other directly, while Zhang Yong himself sat quietly aside, not even showing any signs of being anxious.

"Master Military Advisor, no, now I should call you Master National Advisor. You have fought with Genghis Khan before and with Ogedai Khan. We respect you, but this is not a reason for you to contradict the commander-in-chief." Belgo He spoke.

"My brother Batu is the commander-in-chief of this western expedition. The enemy has not been eliminated yet, and the national army is about to leave with the army. You don't take the commander in mind, and you don't take the Jochi family in your eyes. ." Handal said.

"You also know that the military advisor is now the national advisor. In this case, why doesn't Commander Batu give the national advisor some respect?" Chahan said.

After so many years, Chahan's family has long formed a community of interests with Zhang Yong, and the relationship between the two families has long been bound together.

"We are all our own people. Don't be like this. Brother Batu, the military advisor and the national advisor have something to say." Brother Meng was also anxious at this time and hurriedly stood up and said.

At this time, we can’t conflict with Zhang Yong and others! Zhang Yong’s identity is different now, he is the Great Mongolian Imperial Master!
Moreover, the order he received from Haraholin also told him to end the Western Expedition. If the other party insisted on leading the entire Western Expeditionary Army back, wouldn't the Mongolian army be in chaos before the enemy came to fight?

And no matter how this matter is said, Batu's side is always unreasonable. What Zhang Yong wants to take away is only the troops under his own hands, rather than taking all the troops back east.

"Batu, what do you mean by this? The national adviser is returning with his own army, and I am returning with my own family's army. What qualifications do you have to come and stop me? Do you not take me, the son of the Great Khan, seriously?" Guyu said.

"I just don't give you face, so what do you do?" Batu said.

"Hmph! Ah, then let's compete and see who is the real leader among the princes. Don't think I'm afraid of you, Batu." Guyu also said without showing any weakness.

"Batu! Although you are the nominal commander this time, you still cannot command the armies of all our families." Baidar said.

"How presumptuous! I am the commander-in-chief of this Western Expedition. I am naturally qualified to dispatch all the troops. I told you to stay with me for three months. After three months, I don't care whether you want to leave or stay. Batu said.

Today, Zhang Yong is about to leave. Where can he put his face as the commander-in-chief?
"Commander Batu, Sir National Master, please stop arguing! We are all our own people. Is there anything we can't sit down and discuss together?"

"Yes! There is something that you two cannot discuss, so why are you so tense?" A group of eldest sons of ten thousand households immediately began to admonish.

"Batu! You can think about it carefully. This time I am not disobeying your order, but executing the order of the Mongol Khan.

General Subotai, do you mean the same thing? You have to force me to do it. "Zhang Yong picked up the wine glass, took a sip gently, looked at Subotai who was sitting next to him with a troubled face, and said.

This meaning couldn't be more obvious. If you push me into a hurry, I will take out the edict of the Great Khan and see how Batu will end up. As a veteran who followed Mongolia during the Genghis Khan era, I don't believe you dare to disobey the Great Khan's order. .

"Master Imperial Master, what do you mean by this? Do you want to use the Mongolian Khan to suppress me?" Batu said.

"Batu! The Great Khan is now seriously ill. As the eldest son, Guiyu should return to Mongolia. As the adopted son of the Great Khan, Meng Ge should also return with him. The military advisor has been named the Mongolian National Advisor and should also return to Mongolia. Take charge of some affairs, we can just stay and fight this battle," Subotai stood up and said.

In this situation, if he didn't speak up, Batu would definitely break up with Zhang Yong and erupt into the most intense conflict.

Zhang Yong will definitely take out Wo Kuotai's edict at that time, and if he doesn't take out his own edict, he will be betraying Genghis Khan and the Golden Family.

At that time, Zhang Yong can directly use this edict to completely deprive Batu of all military power.

He originally wanted to ease the matter and let both parties take a step back, but now both parties are unwilling to make concessions. He is also very embarrassed that things have turned out like this.

But Zhang Yong cannot be allowed to take out the things under any circumstances. If he takes them out, it will be a huge blow to Batu.

"National Master, please give me this old guy some respect. Batu is still young, so please don't be familiar with him." Subotai looked at Zhang Yong and said.

"General Subotai, I can give you this face, but I don't know if others are willing to give me, the Mongolian national division, face." Zhang Yong said.

"Brother Batu, Brother Meng, thank you for taking care of you all these years. I can't help you in this battle. I will return eastward with you, National Master." Brother Meng said.

He finally saw that Zhang Yong was completely confident now. He was waiting for Batu to have a fierce conflict with him. Subotai obviously knew something, and the other party must have something to restrain Batu's elder brother.

"Batu! You are the commander-in-chief of this Western Expedition. If you insist on carrying out the Western Expedition, then take your family to the Western Expedition! Other armies will not give it to you." Zhang Yong said. When Batu heard this, his face turned red. He immediately stood up and wanted to say something more, but Subotai next to him pushed him down and shook his head.

"Master Imperial Master, since you have spoken, let's do this!" Subotai spoke first and answered for Batu.

"Okay, after three days, I will return with my own army, the Wokuotai family army, the Xixia army, Croatia, Serbia, the Eastern Roman Empire, and the army from the Rus region." Zhang Yong finished. Without giving Batu any face at all, he took one of his own men and left the tent.

All the princes and generals present did not expect that the Imperial Master would dare to refute the honor of the leader of the princes in public.

Seeing this, the other princes and some eldest sons of ten thousand households were not in the mood to have any more banquets, and immediately found various excuses to leave.

In just a moment, only Meng Ge and Batu Subotai were left in the huge tent.

"General Subotai! What does he mean? He doesn't pay attention to me as the commander-in-chief at all. Why do you want to stop me? Do you really think I am afraid of him?" Batu said angrily.

Originally, the two families had already entered into a marriage, and the relationship between him and Zhang Yong should have eased. But this time, Zhang Yong didn't give him any face.

"Brother Meng! Go back and prepare first. Mobilize all the troops of the Tuolei family and prepare to return eastward. Follow the military advisor. Remember, no matter what the situation, you are the adopted son of Ogedai Khan. Now you "My adoptive father is seriously ill and you must go back to visit him," Subotai looked at Meng and said.

"Thank you, General Subotai, for reminding me. Brother Meng will take my leave now. Brother Batu, please take care of yourself. I hope we can see each other again in the future." Brother Meng saluted Subotai and Batu. Then he sighed and left the military tent.

General Subotai had something to say to Batu, but he didn't want him to hear it, so there was no need for him to stay here to make himself miserable.

After Brother Meng left, Batu looked at Subotai and said. :
"General Subotai! Batu really doesn't understand why you stopped me just now. I am the commander-in-chief of this Western Expedition. Can't I even order a military advisor?"

"Batu! Although you are the nominal commander-in-chief, in this Western Expedition, the armies of each family will only listen to their own leaders, and the military advisor.

Now he is not a military advisor, but a national advisor of the Great Mongolia. His status is no longer lower than you, or even above you. After the arrival of the Mongolian envoy, his identity has changed. You have to remember this.

And you must know that this order to retreat the Western Expedition came from the Mongolian headquarters. Regardless of whether the order was issued by Ogedai Khan or not, it represents Mongolian orthodoxy, and you must obey it.

Although there was no order for the entire army to return, Zhang Yong, the national advisor, led some of his troops back east. This is a matter of course, and you would be the wrong party to stop him. Subotai said.

"This is not an order from Ogedai Khan at all. When we left Haraholin, the Great Khan had agreed that this Western Expedition would go to the end of the sea. Unless the Great Khan dies, otherwise we will never Withdrawing troops." Batu said.

"The past was before, and now is now. Remember, Batu, I will not harm you. You must not conflict with the military advisor. I have warned you many times. Why don't you listen to me?" Subotai spoke.

"Okay! General Subotai, I listened to you before, I repaired the relationship with him, and I even married my eldest daughter to his youngest son.

And he was not the son of Princess Tulanlun, but the son of an ordinary concubine. This was already a humiliation for me, but I agreed anyway. Batu said.

If he really wanted to fight Zhang Yong to the end, he would not have proposed a marriage with Zhang Yong in the first place. Since both parties have already been married, Zhang Yong, the national master, should give himself a little less favor.

After all, my eldest daughter is married to a son born from one of your concubines. Both parties have entered into a marriage contract. After all, she is still an in-law, but you don't give me any face.

"You are married to Zhang Yong, but you know exactly how Kuo Lejian died. Meng Ge or the Tuo Lei family have nothing to do with this matter.

Even any Mongolian general knows it clearly, because don’t Ogodei Khan, Princess Tulanlun and others know about this matter?
They all know this, but they still agree to marry you. This is to give you face, otherwise, they can just reject you directly. Subotai said.

"Brother Meng did not do this. I can guarantee that there is no need for me to bear an infamy that does not belong to me. Kuo Liejian's death was just an accident." Batu said.

This matter was the only thing that made him untenable, but it really had nothing to do with him, and he was sure it had nothing to do with Brother Meng, but he couldn't stand it when someone else poured dirty water on him.

"This time, the Khan is seriously ill. Whether he can survive until Guyu and the military advisor return is another matter! You also know how slow it is for news from the East to reach us. It will take five months at the fastest. time, that is to say five months.

Even the Great Khan had become seriously ill half a year ago. It would take at least six or seven months for them to lead the army there again. If they were to delay on the way, it would probably be delayed for more than a year.

By then, Dahan will not be seriously ill, but will die. How can we waste time in this case? It's understandable that they would be anxious to go back. Subotai said.

"But General Sutai, it was you who asked them to stay for another two months. Could it be that he didn't even give you face?" Batu said.

"There is no room for relaxation in this matter, Batu, just let me stay with you to fight this final battle and annihilate the Holy Roman Empire's army! It was also my lack of consideration before." Subotai said.

He thought Zhang Yong would give him a small favor, but he didn't expect that Zhang Yong would give him nothing, but what could he say?

After all, Zhang Yong is a member of the Golden Family recognized by Genghis Khan, and he is just a Mongolian general.

"General Subotai, do you have something in Zhang Yong's hands? Or do I have something in his hands?"
Why don't you let me have a conflict with him? Although he is a Mongolian national master, I am not afraid of him. " Batu said.

"Alas! Batu! After all, your father Jochi's line has left Mongolia for many years. You don't know how powerful Zhang Yong is now and how much he is trusted by Ogodei Khan.

I can only tell you, don't conflict with him, otherwise, you will always be the one who suffers. What you have to do now is to stabilize the battlefield in the West and establish your own power.

Although Zhang Yong will take away a large number of troops, you still have your own family's army, and you also have the troops of some servant countries in Europe. There are at least 100,000 people, and these people are enough. Subotai said.

The subsequent credit for this Western Expedition has nothing to do with the people who left. The remaining credit will belong to Batu alone.

If the news of Ogedei's death really spreads to the West in the future, Subotai will very much want to persuade Batu to return to Mongolia, and then compete for the position of Mongolian Khan.

The Jochi family has been squeezed out by some bloodlines, but Genghis Khan has clarified this matter. Jochi's family is still qualified to compete for the position of Great Khan of Mongolia.

"I understand, General Subotai, I will not conflict with him again. Without their army, will I lose the battle? I can still defeat the Holy Roman Empire." Batu said.

"Well! That's right, this is the grandson of Genghis Khan." Subotai said.

Three days later, Zhang Yong led 20,000 Rus troops, 13,000 of his own cavalry, the Ogedai family, the Chahetai family, and the Tuo Lei family.

The Hungarian army, the Croatian army, the Serbian army, and the army of the Eastern Roman Empire embarked on the return journey in a mighty manner.

Only Batu, some of the kings of the West and East Roads, and some troops from Northern Rus were left behind. (End of chapter)
