Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

"What happened to the head of the family?" Tulan Lun, Xiaoyun, Farmayina, Bahnaya and other women gathered around and asked.

"It's nothing. It's Prince Guyu who sent the envoy from the grassland. He probably wants to inform me of something. You don't have to worry, just continue to play with the children here." Zhang Yong said.

"Master! Go and do your business! Men's matters are more important." Farmaena said.

"Head of the house, go and do your work! It's good to have us here."

"Well! I'll leave first then, and I'll come back later." Zhang Yong nodded and said.

"Congratulations to my father," Zhang Yong's more than 20 children said together.

After bidding farewell to his wife and children, Zhang Yong came to his study room of King Guanzhong and met Guyu's envoy.

In recent times, Guyu's envoys have come to Guanzhong quite frequently. The previous matter was about the Chahetai family, and now I don't know what it is about.

"Meet the King of Guanzhong, pay homage to the Great Mongolian Master, and pay my respects to the Great Master." After Guyu's envoy saw Zhang Yong, he immediately knelt on the ground and said.

"No need to be polite, get up! Why did Guyu ask you to come here?" Zhang Yong said.

"Master Imperial Master, this is the master's letter, please read it." After the messenger finished speaking, he carefully took out a letter from his arms, placed it on Zhang Yong's table, and said.

Zhang Yong nodded, opened the letter, and began to read the contents.

Guyuk first gave some polite greetings to Zhang Yong, and then said that Wo Kuotai's situation has stabilized. Although he is very sad, there is no major health problem.

He and his mother have been by his side, and they have also brought over several of Wo Kuotai's grandchildren and other younger sons to accompany Wo Kuotai. Now Wo Kuotai's mood is relatively stable.

Tell Zhang Yong not to worry, Guyu said immediately. Departing from the Central Plains, 30,000 Mongolian cavalry have also arrived at the territory of the Wokuotai family. He also received them and successfully took over the Tuo Lei family's army.

but. However, Meng Ge from the Tuo Lei family sent a letter. In it, he did not blame the Wo Kuotai family for taking away and dragging down the family's soldiers. Instead, he was very respectful to his eldest brother.

He also said that if there were not enough troops, another 20,000 troops could be sent over. He even vaguely stated that if these soldiers missed their families and relatives, they could also send their relatives and relatives.

Guyu feels like Brother Meng. There must be some conspiracy, but he couldn't see through it, so he wanted to ask Zhang Yong for his opinion on this matter and how to deal with it.

"The 30,000 troops on the grassland have been handed over to Prince Guyou, right?" Zhang Yong closed the letter and looked at the envoy and asked.

"Yes, Sir National Preceptor, this army has already arrived before I set off." The envoy said with great respect.

"I already know about this. You go back and tell Guiyou and tell him not to worry. I'll take care of everything. I will write a letter and you can take it back with you then. Let's take a rest tonight!" Zhang Yong said. said.

"Master Imperial Master, I feel relieved after your words. I will go down to rest now. Please give me the letter tomorrow so that I can take it back and give it to Prince Guyu." The messenger said. .

"Well! Someone's here! Take him to the guest room and entertain him. Don't neglect him." Zhang Yong said.

Soon two attendants came in and invited Guiyou's envoy out.

After the messenger left, Zhang Yong picked up Guyu's letter and read it again. Then he touched his chin, leaned back on the chair, and began to think.

People from the Tuo Lei family can do it! This move uses retreat to advance, and it is very good, very good, very good.

Once the Mongolian herdsmen are divided, they will become the private property of others.

Even if it is the Great Khan of Mongolia, logically speaking, if the other party has not made any big mistakes, he has no right to take it away.

But now, the Tuolei family has not made any mistakes, but he and Guiyu have taken away their 30,000 troops. Logically speaking, this is bullying the Tuolei family.

Although many Mongolian nobles on the grassland would not say anything openly, they would definitely despise this matter secretly.

But there is no other way. He wants to control the military and political power of the entire Central Plains. These 30,000 people must be sent away, but if they are sent to the land of the Tuo Lei family, it will add trouble to Guyu and greatly increase the strength of the Tuo Lei family. , so it can only be sent to Guiyou.

Guiyou was asked to find a way to command these 30,000 troops, but what Zhang Yong didn't expect was that the Tuo Lei family members actually used a trick to retreat in order to advance.

These Mongolian soldiers who were sent away must have been thinking about their hometown and the Tuolei family, and went to the territory of the Ogedai family.

It was the local herdsmen in Wokuotai who raised them, and they might even disobey Guyu's orders.

At this time, the Tuolei family made an even more extraordinary move, which was to once again submit to the Wokuotai family and Guiyou, appearing very groveling.

You see, if you take away our military power, instead of getting angry, we will send you some more people.

Under this situation, if Guyu continues to suppress the Tuo Lei family, his evaluation will be much worse in the entire Mongolian grassland.

It would also be very unfavorable for this kid to elect the Great Khan of Mongolia in the future.

This move was very clever, so wonderful that it put him in a weak position, won praise from the Mongolian nobles, and disgusted his opponent.

snort! Fortunately, Guyu, this kid, has followed me these past few years and it has not been in vain. At least he has seen some clues and knows how to write a letter to ask himself. Otherwise, he will definitely suffer a big loss this time.

Zhang Yong took out a piece of white paper, dipped some ink in it, and started writing.

First, Zhang Yong told Guiyou not to be anxious in advance and to think twice before doing anything. Just accept these 30,000 soldiers and horses.

As for their family members, they can also take them over, but they don't want the remaining 20,000 soldiers and horses. They directly refuse the Tuo Lei family.

And I will give some praise to the Tolei family for their actions, and then give them some rewards. The purpose of this is to restore my reputation and let all the Mongolian nobles know that I am not a member of the Tolei family for nothing. I will give them some rewards. They give rewards.

Second, Zhang Yong told Guiyou that these 30,000 soldiers and horses could be disrupted and dispersed. At the same time, the Mongolian cavalry over forty years old were directly asked to withdraw from the army and then return home to retire.

Among their family members, some young and strong men are selected to continue to serve as their fathers or elder brothers.

Moreover, every veteran who withdraws from the army must be given certain compensation, either some livestock or some financial compensation.

All Tolui Mongolian herdsmen who arrive to live with the Wokuotai family must settle down properly.

It is best not to put them on the edge of the Tuo Lei family's territory, but to move them to the west, the far west of the Ogedai family's border, and let them live there.

The westernmost part of the Wokuotai family's territory already borders Batu's territory, as well as Baidar and Hedan. These herders can be handed over to Hedan.

In order for these herdsmen to relocate, each household must be compensated with some cattle, sheep and horses. This is necessary, and this can also win people's hearts.

Tell all the herdsmen of the Tuolei family who have come from afar, my Wokuotai family will do better to you. Let them live in the westernmost part of the territory, so that they can stay away from the homeland of the Tuolei family. As long as the time is long enough, then this person will Can not go back.

To put it bluntly, the Tuolei family's tricks are very slippery, but the territory of the Wokuotai family is really too large. Arranging all these herdsmen to live in the far west can effectively isolate them.

Those veterans over forty years old had fought with the tow mine, and these people retired directly. As long as you give them a chance, the new young people will be loyal to you, the Mongol Khan.

Because Mongolia has been fighting for many years, the majority of the army is veterans in their forties or even fifties. Of course, ordinary Mongolian soldiers of this age want to go home to graze for the elderly and do not want to fight. Guyu allows them to go home and let them If their son takes over, they can gain a wave of reputation and can also eliminate some veterans of the Tuo Lei family.

Moreover, ordinary herdsmen's lives are not easy. In fact, they don't care whether they are dragging down the family or Wo Kuotai. Even the Chahetai family's life is the same as long as they can solve the problem of food and clothing.

The people of the Tuolei family considered the thoughts of the thousands and hundreds of Mongolian households, these high-level officials, but did not consider the thoughts of ordinary Mongolian people. Zhang Yong also gave Guiyu an idea to hold a banquet for all the Mongolian Thousand and Hundred Households to see if he could win over the previous group of people.

Let them side with the Ogedei family. For those who can be won over, you give them high-ranking officials and generous salaries, give them rewards, and let them follow you.

Those who are unwilling to follow you will be suppressed directly. A few thousand households will be promoted from the Ogedai family and then placed in. In summary, it will win over a group of people, suppress a group of people and eliminate a group of people.

As long as Guyou resolutely implements his strategy, within three to five years, this army will be in his hands.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
Zhang Yong looked up when he heard the movement.

Tu Lanlun was already standing at the door.

"Here you are, I just finished handling the envoy's affairs, come in!" After Zhang Yong finished speaking, he stuffed the written letter into the envelope and sealed it with beeswax.

"Master! Did something happen? Guyu's envoy has been coming very frequently these days." Tu Lanlun asked.

"Well! Something did happen. It happened on the grassland. As a result, Brother Meng wanted to send Guyu Wan's army to Guyu again. Guyu was a little confused, so he wanted to ask me how to deal with it?" Zhang Yong said.

"This matter is indeed untenable and will make people gossip. Master, do you have any good way to deal with it?" Tu Lanlun said.

This kind of thing is tantamount to trying to seize other people's property. Now that others are sending more property, Guiyou can't show off his face no matter what.

"I've told Guyu how to deal with this, don't worry!" Zhang Yong said.

"If you say this, the master, I will feel relieved. You, the master, always have an idea." Tu Lanlun nodded and said.

"Hmm! I guess he won't have enough livestock. Winter is coming soon. I plan to eliminate the tens of thousands of sheep and cattle we have.

Send them all to Hara and Forest, take the Xixia route, and herd them all the way. In addition, you can withdraw some silver from the inner organs and send them to Hara and Forest together. "Zhang Yong said.

Now I have two breeding bases and a large group of herdsmen producing, and the number of livestock is indeed quite large.

If Guyuk wanted to win over the families of these 30,000 Mongolian cavalry, he would need a lot of livestock, so Zhang Yong had to send some to him.

As for silver, he also needs some support. Anyway, now that he has completely occupied the Central Plains, Sichuan and Shu also have Guanzhong, he has no pressure on financial issues.

"Yes! I know the boss. I will instruct my servants to prepare some more gold and silver and send them to Guiyou." Tu Lanlun said.

"Well! Okay, I'm done with my work. Let's go. Let's have a barbecue tonight. I'll grill it for you myself." After Zhang Yong finished speaking, he took his eldest wife and left the study, and went to have a chat with his wives and concubines. The children ate together.

Zhang Yong took out the spices brought back from Khwarezm, combined with the yak meat transported from Tubo, and roasted a good meal for the family.

The family had a meal together.

Early the next morning, Zhang Yong handed the letter to Guyu's envoy and asked him to take it to the Mongolian grassland.

A few days later, an uninvited guest came to Chang'an Mansion. This was a team of about thirty or forty people, driving a dozen carriages with unknown items on them. The leader was a man who looked to be about twenty-six or seventeen years old. Year-old Mongolian man.

"Stop! Who are you? Why did you enter the city?" The officer in charge of guarding the city stopped a group of people and asked.

"We came from the grassland. I am Kublai Khan, the Mongolian sect king. I have made a special trip to see the King of Guanzhong. Please go and inform me!" Kublai Khan came to the gatekeeper general of Chang'an Mansion and smiled. , said.

"This, it turns out that Mongolian King Kublai Khan is here. Come! Hurry and report to the prince that Kublai Khan, the Mongolian King, has come to see you." The young general responsible for guarding the city gate did not dare to neglect and immediately called a Send an order to the soldiers and ask him to report the matter.

"Prince Kublai Khan, don't be surprised if you are in your humble duty. Please wait a moment! You can move over here to rest for a while." The young general guarding the city said.

"Well, you don't have to be polite, general. You are doing your duty faithfully. Come here! Give some money to the soldiers guarding the city and this general." Kublai Khan smiled and said.

After hearing Kublai Khan's order, several Mongolian attendants immediately took out some silver coins from the carriage and wanted to reward them to the soldiers guarding the gate.

But none of these soldiers dared to accept the money.

"Prince Kublai Khan, please take it back! If the King of Guanzhong knows that we have secretly collected other people's money, we will be punished. We might not even be able to keep our jobs." The young general guarding the city gate said. said.

The Guanzhong army has strict military orders. Even a small general guarding the city gate has studied in the Guanzhong King's martial arts hall.

The most important military order in Guanzhong is not to collect money from others without permission.

They are responsible for guarding the city gate, and sometimes some Western Region grassland merchants or other envoys who travel to various places will give them rewards.

But they don't dare to accept any of this money, and if they do, they will be punished.

"The military discipline in Guanzhong is indeed strict. If the general doesn't accept it, then I won't give it to you. Come here! I'll go to the restaurant in the city to buy some meat and drinks later. Let me entertain the soldiers guarding the city." Suddenly Bilie spoke.

"This! Prince Kublai Khan doesn't need to be like this."

"Hahaha! If you don't accept money, then just accept some meat, food and drinks! It's just some food.

The King of Guanzhong will blame you. After I enter the city, I will personally tell the King of Guanzhong. Kublai Khan said.

"Prince Kublai Khan, we appreciate your kindness, but please take back your life! We are not allowed to eat while we are on guard, let alone drink." The young city guard said.

No matter what Kublai Khan said or what he gave, these soldiers guarding the city would not take any of it.

Seeing this, Kublai Khan said nothing more and returned to his team.

"The military discipline of the army under the King of Guanzhong is very strict! If it is the soldiers guarding the city in other areas.

If I give some tips, they will definitely accept them, but these people will not accept them anyway. "Kublai Khan said to his staff.

"With strict military discipline, the combat effectiveness will not be bad. The King of Guanzhong knows how to train troops!"

"This Chang'an Mansion is really lively, and the streets are also prosperous. It is much better than those towns in Hebei. Even the capital of the Jin Kingdom cannot be as prosperous as here." Kublai Khan said.

"What did you say? Tu Lei's second son, Kublai Khan, came to see me?" Zhang Yong asked in confusion.

"Replying to the prince, that man indeed calls himself Kublai Khan, and he also brought many gifts, which can be loaded into dozens of carts. He said that he came specially from the Mongolian grassland in Mobei to see you." The servant of the Guanzhong Palace said. .

The entire Mongolia and even the whole world knew that he had caused discord in the Lei family. At this point in time, Kublai Khan came to pay homage to him. What kind of medicine was being sold in this gourd?
"My lord, are you here or not?" the servant said.

"See, why not? After all, this person is a guest. Go and welcome him into the guest room of the palace.

Haosheng entertained him and said that I have important matters to deal with now and would meet him in the study in the afternoon. "Zhang Yong touched his chin and said.

This kid is brave enough to dare to come to the Guanzhong Prince's Mansion alone, but as a Mongolian sect king, Zhang Yong really can't do anything to Kublai Khan.

Moreover, the visitor is a guest, and he must receive him. This is a matter of etiquette. (End of chapter)
