Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 405: Battle Report, a real man can endure the intolerance of others
Guyuk never expected that when they took away more than half of the army and Batu was left with only his own army and some miscellaneous troops, they actually defeated the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.

And it only took just over a month, that’s right! It only took just over a month, because even if this battle report was rushed here, it would still take more than a month.

According to his and Zhang Yong's estimation, even if Batu wanted to win, it would take him half a year, or even more than a year.

In order to completely defeat the Holy Roman Empire, it is even possible to be defeated by the opponent.

But he never expected that Batu would actually win, and win so quickly!
"Isn't this Emperor Frederick II of the Holy Roman Empire very powerful? How come he, how come he hasn't been able to stop him for several months?" Guyu said.

"How should I put it? This battle report is not too detailed. It just says that Batu was defeated a month ago. The 100,000 coalition troops have now basically controlled the entire German region." Zhang Yong said.

It doesn't make sense. Logically speaking, as long as the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire can't hold on and relies on those large and small fortresses for defense, even if there are trebuchets and thunderbolts and cannons, it will be very difficult to capture these places. .

(In this period, the various Mongolian ministries were able to independently produce explosive packs, thunderbolts and cannons. Of course, the protagonist’s crystallized black powder and heavy artillery were not handed over to the Mongolian Empire, and the Mongols did not Like to use, Mongolia prefers simple, crude and durable weapons. In this period, Mongolia preferred the combination of trebuchets, explosive bags, and burning gasoline cans.)
This battle report is not very detailed, it just explains the results of the battle and the detailed layout of the battle. Not a word was said about that. Obviously, Batu had someone send it over specifically for Zhang Yong to see.

The meaning is obvious. I tell you that I won this battle, but I will not tell you how I won it. I will also tell you that I can win even without your army and without your help.

What a proud boy. It's a pity that you are on the wrong team. If you were a little more biased toward me, and didn't get so close to Brother Meng, or even kill Kuo Lejian, there would be no need for the relationship between us to be so troubled. stiff.

Maybe you didn't kill Kuolejian, but this is meaningless.

"Brother Zhang, let me see this battle report." Guyu said.

"Yes!" Zhang Yong nodded and handed the battle report to Guyu.

It was just a few dozen words, a brief description of the results of the battle, and some greetings to Zhang Yong, Guyu, Meng Ge and others, but nothing else.

"What? There is no detailed process at all. How did he win? Is the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire so easy to deal with?" Guyu threw the letter in his hand on the ground and said angrily.

"Don't you understand yet? This guy Batu doesn't want us to know the specific process of the war. I think there are two possible purposes for doing this. The first is to disgust us and make us feel uncomfortable. But I I feel that with Batu’s personality, he would not do this,” Zhang Yong said.

"I think it shouldn't be the case. Although Batu is at odds with me, he is a descendant of Genghis Khan after all, and he still does things aboveboard. Brother Zhang, what is the reason?" Guyu asked.

Zhang Yong smiled and said nothing, but looked at Brother Meng who was sitting silently aside.

"Brother Meng, why do you think Batu didn't write all the contents in the letter clearly and the entire battle process?" Zhang Yong asked.

"Master National Preceptor, Brother Guyu, I, I don't know either." Brother Meng, who was sitting aside, said somewhat submissively.

His life was quite difficult during this period. Guyu would make trouble for him from time to time. For example, when he was walking, he knocked him down intentionally or unintentionally, and then scolded him for not having eyes. How could he dare to hit his brother?
While eating, he directly kicked his rice bowl down and even told him that the Mongolians could not waste food when they were on an expedition and asked him to eat up the food that fell on the ground.

Normally, he would come when he was called and go when he was waved away. During this period, Meng Ge's life was simply worse than death. Every night, he only dared to vent his resentment towards Guyu when he was resting.

On the contrary, National Preceptor Zhang Yong did not cause much trouble for him.

"Brother Zhang asked you something, why didn't you answer it well? What do you mean by being so perfunctory?" Guyu snorted coldly and said.

Brother Meng, who was sitting aside, gritted his teeth, sighed helplessly, and spoke.

"Brother Batu! He may have wanted to let us know the outcome of the battle quickly, so he sent the letter in advance. He did not write down the battle process clearly, but I think the specific process of the battle will be passed on soon. "Meng Ge said.

"Bah! You wallflower, white-eyed wolf, I was so kind to you when I was in the Mongolian headquarters and treated you like my own brother, but you turned around and ran to Batu." Guyu stood up directly and kicked him. He kicked Meng Ge down and said.

Meng Ge, who was kicked to the ground, lowered his head and gritted his teeth. There was a fierce light in his eyes, and he clenched one fist tightly.

But in the end, he released his clenched fists and allowed Guyu to punch and kick him without saying a word or daring to fight back.

The eldest sons of Wanhu and Qianhu, who came with Brother Meng to fight, also stood up angrily when the Mongolian general saw this scene and stared at Guyu angrily.

Although Guyu is the son of the Mongol Khan, Meng Ge's status is actually no worse than him, and both of them are even qualified to compete for the position of the Mongol Khan.

Even though Ogedai once said that in the future, the Great Khan of Mongolia could only be born in his Ogedai family, this sentence was just fart in the eyes of the real Mongolian nobles.

The Lord humiliated his ministers and died, and his own prince was humiliated. The eldest son of thousands and thousands of families could not sit still.

"Brother Guyu, please, don't hit my brother. He, he is also a Mongolian prince after all!" At this time, Hulagu who was sitting aside couldn't stand it anymore and knelt down next to Guyu with a bang. He spoke.

"Prince Hulagu! Stand up, you are Tuo Lei's son too, you can't be such a coward.

Prince Guyu, if you bully Prince Mengge normally, we won’t say anything.

But what do you mean by hitting and scolding him like this today? Don’t you take our Tuo Lei people seriously? "The eldest son of a ten thousand household suddenly sat up, stood in front of Brother Meng, and said.

The sons of their master, Tuo Lei, are already kneeling on the ground, and you still want to humiliate them. If they don't get up again, what kind of ministers are they?

And although Zhang Yong returned from the east with an army of 100,000 people, more than 47,000 of them were from the Tuo Lei family. (About 3,000 people died in the Western Expedition.)
The Wokuotai family has 30,000 people, the national counselor Zhang Yong has 25,000 people, and the Xixia army has 10,000 people. The Tuolei family accounts for 40% of the force. If there is a fight, the Tuolei family may not be afraid.

"What! What do you mean? Do you want to rebel?" Guyu said.

At the same time, a group of people from the Wokuotai family and Qianhu under Zhang Yong also stood up, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"What are you all doing? Sit down, I'm just playing around with Brother Guyu. Why didn't he hit me? You all go and do your own thing." At this time, Brother Meng also got up from the ground. He patted the dust on his body and shouted.

In this case, if he didn't speak, there might be some bloody conflicts, and things would be difficult to deal with.

"Okay! Guyu, let's go back to play and make trouble. Don't go too far with some things. Guyu, you were really wrong just now. Apologize to Brother Meng." Zhang Yong also stood up at this time and said. .

During this period of time, Guyu went too far in bullying Brother Meng. Normally he turned a blind eye, but today he kicked Brother Meng over in public and then beat him repeatedly. That was indeed a bit too much. .

Hearing this, the generals such as the eldest son of thousands of households and ten thousand households of Tuo Lei's line gave up and helped their princes back.

"Well! I'm sorry. I hit you a little too hard just now. Brother Meng, are you okay?" Guyu stepped forward and said.

"Brother Guyu, I'm fine. I know you were joking with me." Brother Meng smiled and said.

"Okay, everyone, let's disperse! Everyone goes about his or her own business. Guyu, come with me to the tent." Zhang Yong patted Guyu on the shoulder and said.

Guyu nodded, followed Zhang Yong into the tent, and then ordered two personal guards to guard the side. Meng Ge also returned to his tent surrounded by Tuo Lei and other generals.

"Prince Mengge, they have gone too far. How could they do this to you?"

"Yes, how could they do this? You are also Lord Tuo Lei's eldest son after all." A group of generals from the Tuo Lei family said angrily.

"Okay, don't talk anymore. This matter is over now. Let's go out. I want to rest." Meng Ge waved his hand and said.

All the generals of the Tuolei family didn't say much when they heard this and left Meng Ge's tent directly. Before leaving, they all told the eldest prince to have a good rest.

After everyone left, Meng Ge clenched his fists and spoke through gritted teeth.

"Guiyou, Guyu! You deserve to die!"

In Zhang Yong’s tent.

"This time on your way back east, don't cause any trouble to Brother Meng. It won't do any good if you continue like this. On the contrary, it will lower your prestige. Do you understand?" Zhang Yong said.

This kid is too impulsive sometimes and needs to be tempered. He has no authority at all. If he were placed in a modern workplace, he would definitely be played to death.

It's understandable that you have resentment towards Brother Meng, and you can just bully him normally, but in public, it's really too much for you to treat a Mongolian prince like this.

"Brother Meng, this bastard, deceived me and my father Khan when he was in the Mongolian headquarters. He even wanted to usurp my position as the Great Khan of Mongolia. How could I let him go?" Guyu said.

His biggest grievance against Brother Meng is that he actually cares about his position as the Great Khan of Mongolia. Who the hell are you? You are just my father's adopted son. How dare you ignore the position of my eldest son?

You were obedient when you were in the east, but after arriving in the west, you immediately changed your attitude. To be honest, Guyu even wanted to take advantage of the journey back to the east to do some dirty tricks and kill Brother Meng.

"I told you, it can't be done now. Brother Meng has made a lot of achievements this time, and you have also made a lot of achievements. Your image has changed among the Mongolian army. At this time, you have to maintain yourself. Otherwise, the prestige I worked so hard to build for you will be gone." Zhang Yong covered his head and said helplessly.

Now he finally understood why Torregona was reluctant to hand over power to her son in the original history. Guyu's character was indeed not a good ruler.

He is too impulsive in doing things and does not care about the consequences. In the whole of Mongolia, it is estimated that only Wo Kuotai and himself can convince Guyu, and Guyu does not pay attention to the other people at all.

And Zhang Yong has a hunch that if this kid really ascends to the position of Great Khan of Mongolia, he will be more respectful to him in the short term, but once time goes by, this kid will probably not even take him seriously.

People's mentality changes with their status. Back then, I and Wo Kuotai were good friends and wore the same pair of trousers. Although they were nominally in a relationship with son-in-law, in fact, the relationship between the two had always been that of brothers.

But after ascending to the position of Great Khan of Mongolia, Wokuotai's attitude towards Zhang Yong was okay in the early stage, but later on, the relationship between the two began to gradually become distant.

Now Zhang Yong has a bold guess, that is, Wo Kuotai is still thinking about some old feelings. He has never thought about his own death. The person who actually ordered his own death should not be Wo Kuotai, but his father Genghis Khan.

Only Genghis Khan could see Zhang Yong’s ambition, Khan! Sweat profusely! I didn’t expect that you would still worry about me even after you die.

To be honest, I still miss the scene of fighting with Wo Kuotai back then. It can be said that the two of them cooperated very well. Wo Kuotai's character is much better than Gui Youcheng Fu.

Really, this kid has not inherited his father's scheming at all. On the contrary, his personality is a bit like Tuo Lei, a fool, but he does not have the military talent of Tuo Lei.

After dragging down several sons, he is indeed better than Wokuotai's son!

"Brother Zhang, I understand. I just want to dampen this guy's spirit. I hope he contradicts me, but he just doesn't say a word." Guyu said.

If Brother Meng contradicts him a little bit, Guyu will have a hundred reasons to deal with him, but... This kid just kept silent and endured all the humiliation silently.

This is what Brother Zhang said, a real man can endure what others cannot tolerate! Anyway, if this kind of humiliation were placed on himself, he would definitely not be able to bear it.

"Well! Remember, nothing can be rushed. Don't write your emotions on your face. Whatever you do, you have to look good on the surface. You must remember this sentence." Zhang Yong said.

When Guyu heard this, he nodded, saying that he understood, but Zhang Yong couldn't guarantee whether he had written it down or not. Anyway, he had already said everything he could say.

"Okay! Let me tell you about the battle report this time. Brother Meng was here before. The reason why I asked Brother Meng this question was to get rid of him, but I didn't expect that it turned into a conflict between you and him." Zhang Yong said.

The reason why he asked Brother Meng this question was to find an excuse to ask Brother Meng to leave quickly, because he didn't want Brother Meng to hear what he said next, but he didn't expect that this kid Guyu went up and started fighting.

"Brother Zhang, please stop being so pretentious and tell me what's going on! It's just the two of us here now," Guyu said.

"The second possibility is that Batu himself suffered very heavy losses in this battle, and even suffered injuries. He annihilated the Holy Roman Empire's army, but he himself was not much better. He suffered a thousand wounds to the enemy and suffered a loss of his own. Eight hundred." Zhang Yong said.

"?? This, how is this possible, Brother Zhang, if his losses are really heavy, then why did he write to us about this battle report? If I were him.

I won't say a word! By the time this news spreads back to the grassland, it will probably be more than half a year or even a year later. There is no need to take the initiative to send an envoy over to deliver the battle report. "Guiyou said.

"Don't you understand this? The reason why Batu did this is to stabilize the morale of the army and to stabilize us. The greater the loss, the more powerful he has to pretend to be.

This is not only for the European coalition forces to see, but also for us.

What Batu wants to express is very simple. The Jochi family has the ability to take the position of the Western overlord. Batu is not afraid of the small tricks we left behind. "Zhang Yong said.

At the same time, sending this battle report to the army returning east can also enhance his reputation in Batu.

I don’t know who taught him this. If he figured it out on his own, then this kid would be great.

"Brother Zhang, could it be that you thought too much about Batu? Did Batu really suffer a great loss?" Guyu said.

"If this battle report comes here a few months later, Batu will definitely win very well, but now it comes here, Batu's loss will be very serious." Zhang Yong said.

He still has this bit of confidence.

"In this case, Baidar and Hedan should be able to better control these territories here." Guyu said.

"No, on the contrary. The pressure on Baidar and Hedan will be very great. You are also a Mongolian yourself, and you also know the character of the Mongolians. In that land in the west.

In other words, the Great Plains of Poland are more suitable for you Mongolians to survive. The Rus region is a bitter cold land. Only the Kipchak Steppe is your ideal land. "Zhang Yong looked at Guiyou and said.
