Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

The Khan of the Chagatai Khanate was a little strange. He didn't know why Kublai Khan asked this question?
"Guiyou, the Great Khan of Mongolia, was seriously ill, so he could not meet my envoy. He only asked his most trusted general to convey the message on his behalf. I can understand this." Chagatai Khan said.

"Hahaha! It seems that I guessed it right. I will tell you a secret Khan!" Kublai Khan suddenly showed an expression that was indeed true.

If it was just a guess before, now that Kublai Khan has received the exact information from Chagatai Khan, Kublai Khan is now very convinced that Guyu is in two situations, one is that he is sick and unconscious, and the other is that he even dies directly. .

This guess is indeed bold, but Kublai Khan had this confidence.

"Oh! Do you have any secrets to tell me? Tell me." Chagatai Khan said.

After all, Kublai Khan came from Mongolia's headquarters and was not in the east. Maybe he really knew some news inside Mongolia.

"According to my judgment, the Mongol Khan Guiyou may have died of illness. They just kept their mourning secret. Chagatai Khan, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

If you work with us, the benefits will definitely exceed your imagination. Kublai Khan said.

"Hahahaha! Kublai Khan, Kublai Khan, to borrow a Chinese saying, you are so full of lies! Do I just believe what you say? Guyuk, the great Khan of Mongolia, is indeed seriously ill.

But according to my envoy’s report, Mongol Khan Guyuk still meets from time to time. Taking the time to appear in front of the soldiers, how could a dead man come out and meet his soldiers every few days? Is it possible that he will come back from the dead? "Jaghatai Khan shook his head and looked at Kublai Khan.

He thought the other party would say some earth-shattering secret! After working on it for a long time, he actually said such stupid things.

If it is true that Mongolian Khan Guyuk died, then his envoy would report to him as soon as possible when he returns.

According to the report from his envoy, Guiyou was probably very ill and was not easy to trample on, so he entrusted his eldest prince, the King of Guanzhong, to come and negotiate with him.

If Mongol Khan Guyuk was really dead, how could he appear in front of the entire army?

"How many of these low-level Mongolian soldiers, or even some hundreds of households, have seen the true face of the Mongol Khan? Just find someone of similar stature, put on Guyu's armor and helmet, and wander around the military camp Just one circle will do," Kublai Khan said.

Based on Guyot's character, if he was really seriously ill, Kublai Khan concluded that he would not appear in front of his soldiers, but would lie comfortably in the tent. This was Guyot's personality.

Coming out to greet the soldiers and letting all the soldiers see him seemed a bit abnormal.

"Hmph! Do you have any substantial evidence? If you don't have these things, don't try to lie to me." Chagatai Khan said.

Kublai Khan, you bastard, don’t you just want to trick me into sending troops to help you fight the war? The envoy from Batu came here to be tough.

But you came here to be soft, and you even wanted to coax me, giving me both soft and hard tactics, right?
They are all Mongolians, but you bastard has learned too many conspiracies and tricks from the Han people, and you like to deceive people everywhere.

"Chagatai Khan! I, Kublai Khan, have definitely not lied to you. I am even very convinced that this news is true. Just believe me and go to the funeral with us. You will definitely gain a lot."

"We in the Chagatai Khanate don't have many troops. We don't want to go to war with Mongolia, and let me tell you, even if Guyuk Khan really dies, I will never go to war." Chagatai Khan said.

I just want to lead my country to survive in the cracks. This time, the coalition forces are related to the eldest prince of China, the eldest prince of Guanzhong.

He is the appointed heir. If something happens, the prince who has unified the Central Plains will definitely be furious.

When the time comes, their small Chagatai Khanate will not be able to stop them from beating them.

There is no need to launch a large-scale western expedition to deal with the Chagatai Khanate. The two sides are still very close. By sending troops directly from the land of Xixia, they can attack the territory of their Chagatai Khanate.

Hearing this, Kublai Khan also sighed helplessly. It's true that God didn't help him. Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the Khan of the Chagatai Khanate was actually unwilling to listen to his advice.

If you are willing to follow me, then we will definitely succeed. Unfortunately, many Mongolian princes, and even the Khans who are second only to the Mongolian Khan, do not have too ambitious ambitions. They just want to defend Just keep your own land.

"Chagatai Khan, I will lead my 10,000 vanguard troops to launch an attack on Guyuk's Western Expedition Army.

If I can return victorious from this battle, it will prove that the Mongol Khan Guyuk is not in the army. In this case, wouldn't you be willing to send troops to help? " Kublai Khan said.

"Come on, send him away! I don't want to say anything to this man anymore." Chagatai Khan said.

What a waste of my time. I shouldn't have come to see you. I didn't get anything useful from talking to you.

Your guess is just your guess. Even if your guess is true, why should I follow you to resist the Mongolian Khan Guyu?
The Ogedai family and the Chagatai family had a good relationship, which was why I wrote an informant letter to the Batu family back then.

That was because Guyuk, the Great Khan of Mongolia, wanted to support his uncle Baidar to succeed as the Khan of the Chagatai Khanate, so he was dissatisfied with Guyuk, but he had lived a good life in recent years.

Especially after the trade between the East and the West started, whether you were going to the Black Food, the White Food, Persia or Europe, you had to travel through its territory.

He can just lie down and make money comfortably, so why should I work so hard?

When Kublai Khan heard this, he said nothing more. It would be great if he could use a war to prove his point of view.

If Guyuk, the Mongol Khan, is really dead. He could bring the troops of the Tolei family over, and even have a chance to occupy the entire Chagatai Khanate.

At this moment, a crazy plan suddenly appeared in Kublai Khan's mind. If his strategy was successful this time, he would be able to regain the 7 Tolei family's army. After all, Mongol Khan Guyuk was dead.

And how many troops does the Chagatai family have in total? The number of Mongolians is pitifully small, the smallest among several families.

They are just some local Turks, Uighurs, and Uighurs! The combat effectiveness of these ethnic groups is far behind that of the Mongols.

If a Mongolian army of several thousand men came over, they would be able to beat them to a pulp, allowing them to surrender with peace of mind and become farmers.

As long as he can defeat all the armies of the Chagatai family, then all the Mongolian herders in their territory will be defeated.

All the troops and all the land belong to themselves, and this land borders Brother Badu's land, and the two of them can look at each other.

It seems a little unrealistic to defeat Guyu's army. Even if it succeeds, Mongolia will still be a huge threat!

Zhang Yong, the king of Guanzhong who unified the entire Central Plains, was a huge threat, but if he occupied the Chagatai Khanate, his opportunity would come.

The Han army fought on the mainland and had good combat effectiveness, but it was a team that was extremely bad at expeditions. During the expedition, the Mongols could bring their entire family to fight, but the Han army could not.

If you let them go out to fight, it will take too long, and the logistics and supplies will not be able to keep up. In general, even if you want to attack his territory, you need to overcome many dangers.

The more Kublai Khan thought about it, the more he felt that his plan might succeed. Before leaving, Kublai Khan carefully observed the Khan tent of the Chagatai Khanate.

It was found that there were not many troops stationed here, only about six to seven thousand people. The others were people from other ethnic groups and ordinary civilians without any fighting ability.

If these people came over with an army of ten thousand people and launched a surprise attack, they should be able to defeat them and return.

When the time comes for him to convince the Tuo Lei family's army, he will have more words to say. The Mobei Mongolian grassland has now been divided between his two brothers. And they also have supporters. Life on the Mongolian grasslands is extremely cruel, and it is not easy to feed more than 70,000 people.

Thinking of this, Kublai Khan walked very slowly and carefully observed all the posts of the Chagatai Khanate. After leaving the camp, he immediately rushed towards his army at full speed.

Before leaving, Kublai Khan had ordered them to move forward at a constant speed even if he was not leading them. They should not be far from here now.

Late that night, Kublai Khan finally came to his team and met some of his trusted subordinates.

"Prince Kublai Khan, you are finally back."

"Well! How is the situation now? Do you have any news about the people you sent out?" Kublai Khan asked.

"Prince Kublai Khan, the scouts we sent out have already contacted that place. Some Qianhu of the Tuolei family are indeed very dissatisfied with the Mongol Khan, and they have not seen the Mongol Khan for more than a month. Let’s meet.” One of Kublai Khan’s direct subordinates said.

The grassland is an area of ​​conflicting interests. The troops of the Tuo Lei family surrendered because of their enthusiasm on the battlefield. However, after surrendering, they found that their treatment did not get much better.

Mongolian Khan Guyu still didn't believe them, even every time he held a military meeting.

They only summoned the Mongolian generals from the Wokuotai family and Guanzhong King Zhang Yong, and completely ignored their generals from the Tuolei family.

"Hmph! It's just like what I thought. It's strange that they can be taken seriously. Even most of these people will be eliminated. Then send an envoy to contact the Qianhu of the Tuolei family. Remember not to go to Wanwan first. household.

You tell those thousands of households that the 3 troops of our Tuo Lei family surrendered to the Wokuotai family a few years ago, and they should know what kind of treatment they received as a result.

All the thousands, hundreds, and ten thousand households were replaced, and even the elderly in the army were driven back to work for the Mongolian Khan. They would not trust a general from the Tuolei family. Kublai Khan said.

"Prince Kublai Khan! We are probably still four or five days away from them. Is it really too late to send an envoy?"

The distance between the two sides is not far now. If they want to launch a surprise attack on their army, it will be terrible if these envoys are discovered.

"Who told you that I would lead you to fight Guyu's army?" Kublai Khan showed a meaningful smile.

Guyu's coalition forces, especially the Mongolian troops purchased from the areas of concern, are far superior to any of the four major Han kingdoms in terms of equipment and training. The Mongolian headquarters cannot compare with them.

Kublai Khan was well aware of the combat effectiveness of this army. Even though there was some shortage of food and grass, these soldiers still did not starve. If a fight really broke out, the consequences would be hard to predict. After all, he only had 10,000 people in his hands.

These 10,000 troops were obtained from Batu with great difficulty. With the command of this army, Kublai Khan naturally could not take risks.

"Prince Kublai Khan, if we don't go to fight Guyu, why don't we go to fight Chagatai?" One of Kublai Khan's cronies asked.

"Hahaha! You're right. We won't fight Guyou's coalition forces. They have too many people. As long as we allocate a little force, they can wipe out all of us. We won't fight such a thankless battle. We really The one we want to attack is the Chagatai Khanate," Kublai Khan said.

"What? Prince Kublai Khan, the Khan of the Chagatai Khanate, must have an army of 70,000 or 80,000 people! We only have 10,000 troops." Kublai Khan's men even thought that His Highness the Prince was crazy. .

"I'm not crazy, let me calculate it for you. The Chagatai Khanate is the weakest among several families.

Their real Mongolian army may be less than 30,000 people, and the rest are all armies of other ethnic groups.

These people have no fighting ability at all, and their main army has been monitoring Brother Batu's army and the Mongolian Khan's army on the other side. There were not many troops left in the Khan's camp. Kublai Khan said.

"Prince Kublai Khan! You, you want to destroy the Chagatai Khanate and then occupy their land?"

"Yes, this time I will kill all the descendants of Chagatai Khanate, and then completely occupy this country, as long as I occupy the territory of Chagatai Khanate.

Then the Torre family's army will have reason to join me. By then we will be able to develop in the Western Region. If we go west, there will be many Western countries! Kublai Khan said.

"Prince Kublai Khan, you mean that after the matter is completed, you want the Tolei family troops in the coalition to come over."

"Well! It has been several months since these troops surrendered to Guyu, and Guyu has not given them any decent rewards.

The words he shouted at that time were quite loud, but the envoy I sent this time was willing to accept our meeting, which proves that some low-level officers are not living a good life. Kublai Khan said.

After some careful consideration, Kublai Khan decided not to do anything risky and defeated the Chagatai Khanate.

When Chagatai Khan dies, these soldiers will be leaderless and will have no choice but to surrender to themselves. If Batu wants to have a buffer zone with Mongolia, he will definitely support himself in inheriting the Chagatai Khanate.

"Prince Kublai Khan! Let's set off now and go to persuade those thousands of households. I think even if we can't bring all of them over, we can still take away some of them."

"Well! You can let those thousands of families spread rumors among the army, saying that the Mongolian Khan Guyuk is actually dead, but the people of the Ogedai family are not willing to mourn. If you spread this matter to me, the more you The bigger the better," Kublai Khan said.

"Prince Kublai Khan, no! Kublai Khan, you will definitely be able to successfully take over the Chagatai Khanate."

"Yeah! I will definitely succeed."

After Kublai Khan sent away his own envoy, he immediately led the entire army and rushed directly to the Khan's tent of the Chagatai Khanate.

Late that night, 10,000 Golden Horde cavalry rushed directly into the Chagatai Khanate. This sudden attack caught the Chagatai Khanate's army by surprise.

"Kill! Kill! These people from the Chagatai Khanate are unwilling to obey the orders of the Khan of Batu. Let us destroy them. Kill them." Kublai Khan waved his saber and commanded the troops under his hands. A surprise attack was launched on the camp.

"Quick, get up and meet the enemy. It's the army of the Golden Horde. The Golden Horde is coming to attack us."

Qian Hu, a general of the Chagatai family. They all began to organize troops to meet the enemy, but the number of troops under their command was too small.

There are only more than 4,000 real Mongolian cavalry, and the remaining several thousand are just armies of other ethnic groups, and the others are just civilians.

The sudden attack by the other party made it impossible for them to organize an effective resistance, and they did not know how many troops the Golden Horde had come. It's late at night and they don't know anything.

"What happened? What happened?" Chagatai Khan hurriedly put on his clothes and ran out of his tent, saying with a look of horror.

"It's not good, it's not good, Khan, the Golden Horde, Kublai Khan of the Golden Horde, the same Kublai Khan who came to see you during the day, suddenly launched an attack on us with his army."

"What? This damn bastard organized an army, organized an army, and faced the enemy." Chagatai Khan said.

Damn it, if I had known this, I shouldn't have sent out tens of thousands of main troops to monitor Batu's army and Mongolian Khan Guyuk's army, leaving the defense of my Chinese army tent empty.

"Khan! Brothers are running away everywhere. The army has been completely scattered. We, we can't organize the manpower at all, and we don't know how many people from the enemy have come."

The shouts of killing were loud, and Kublai Khan and his men and horses had already rushed over, aiming directly at the Khan's tent. (End of chapter)
