Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Zhang Dingguan couldn't believe his ears. He had only been gone for less than ten days! It only takes eight or nine days.

You have actually caused so many things. How come 30,000 people from the Tuo Lei family's army left?
Zhang Dingguan really couldn't figure out what happened to the coalition forces while he was away.

"Grand Prince, if we don't let them go, sooner or later there will be a larger-scale conflict, and they even threatened that if the Mongolian Khan came out in person.

Then they don't leave, though! But you also know that the Great Khan is dead. Where can we let the Great Khan come out? "Wan Hu Zhang, a member of the Wokuotai family, sighed and said.

This time, Zhang Dingguan led the army to stop the enemy, so all affairs were taken care of by their Wokuotai family.

But when they actually managed such a large team, they felt huge pressure. It was really not easy to command such an army. It was already very good that the Great Prince of Guanzhong could lead them to this point.

"Tell me the specific situation. How long have these people been gone?" Zhang Dingguan led everyone into the tent and asked.

"Grand Prince! Soon after you left, rumors began to spread that Guyuk, the Great Khan of Mongolia, was dead. All the generals of our Ogedai family knew about this, and they kept the mourning secret.

Many ordinary soldiers did not believe it at first, but the news became more and more popular. This made many kings of the West Road, East Road kings, and the generals of the Tuolei family unable to sit still, so they began to search frequently. we asked.

You, you also know that we Mongolians are not very good at talking, and sometimes we inevitably let something slip. Many generals of the Tuolei family have confirmed that the Mongolian Khan Guiyou is dead.

Later, for some unknown reason, one part of the Tuo Lei family's army quarreled fiercely with another part of the army, and a violent conflict broke out between the two sides.

When we went to mediate, three Wanhu households led their subordinates to question us and asked us to let Mongolian Khan Guyuk personally come out to preside over their affairs.

We couldn't get anyone at all, so this strengthened the other party's idea. About three nights ago, 30,000 Tolei family troops left. "Wanhu, a member of the Tuolei family, told Zhang Dingguan the whole story in detail.

"There must be someone in the army who spread this rumor. I should have guessed it earlier." Zhang Dingguan sat on the chair and said angrily.

My father once taught me that sometimes the outcome of a war can be decided outside the battlefield. He didn't understand this sentence before, but now he understands it. Kublai Khan's trick was so easy!
Kublai Khan clearly knew that if he led 1 cavalry to kill him, he would not be his opponent at all. No one could beat him in a head-on confrontation.

But he happened to play a trick and insidiously deceived part of the Tuolei family's army. And most importantly, the other party guessed Uncle Guyu's death.

So as to take advantage of this, after all, it is indeed very doubtful to launch a Western Expedition hastily and then end it hastily.

“The eldest prince, the eldest prince, it’s not that there is no good news. After they left, part of the Chagatai family’s army also left.

There were even some cattle and sheep left behind when we left, probably several thousand in number. Together with the cattle and sheep that were sent to us before, the brothers on the road behind would at least be able to eat better. "Wanhu, a member of the Wokuotai family, said.

It's not all bad news now. At least the Chagatai Khanate's army has left. According to their guess, the reason why the Chagatai Khanate's army left.

It was because they were getting along well these days, and Batu's army was chasing them. These people were obviously gathering to deal with the sudden arrival of the Golden Horde army.

Even when leaving, in order to please them, some cattle and sheep were left behind.

"This is the Chagatai Khanate's intention to please us."

"Yes, otherwise, why would there be so many cattle and sheep left for us? Now, 30,000 people have left, and some more cattle and sheep have come, and we have enough food." In the tent. Some of the Ogedai troops were very happy.

"No! No! If it is true as you suspect, the leaders of the Chagatai Khanate should at least send an envoy to inform me and tell us their intentions instead of withdrawing their troops in such a hasty manner. This is obviously wrong. Yes, it's abnormal." Zhang Dingguan shook his head and said.

What are these guys thinking? How can this be? Even if he had to leave, he couldn't leave in such a hurry.

"Eldest Prince, what do you mean? What exactly is going on?"

"It's very simple. Something big must have happened in the Chagatai Khanate, which caused them to leave in a hurry." Zhang Dingguan said with a firm face.

Something big must have happened in the Chagatai Khanate to allow these troops to leave.

Batu, and Kublai Khan, what do you two want to do? Zhang Dingguan fell into deep thought.

Started to use a kind of reverse thinking, which he learned from his father, using the enemy's thoughts to think about the enemy's goals, if I were Kublai Khan.

Kublai Khan was very smart. He knew that he could not defeat him head-on, so he did not come to fight him. So what was his goal? Convince these Tole family troops to surrender, and then!
In a sudden moment, Zhang Dingguan suddenly thought of a very terrible thing. What was Kublai Khan's ultimate goal? It is against his own father.

But to fight against his father, the strength of the Batu family is not enough.

The strength of the Golden Horde family can only be used for defense at best. It is simply impossible to threaten his father.

The Mongolian army under my father now has more than 40,000 people, almost 50,000. This time I came here, I only brought half of it. In addition, the Han army numbered between 500,000 and 600,000. There are many, and these people are still growing.

The newly trained Han army is completely different from the previous Song army in combat effectiveness. It is an army equipped with new weapons, muskets, and various artillery. According to the father, it is a thermal weapon army that is completely Can crush cold weapons.

Although Kublai Khan didn't know this, he had seen how fast the Song Dynasty was destroyed, so he must know the power of the Jin and Zhang Hanguo families. He would never realize his ideals in this life, so he had to recruit dangerous troops. .

How many troops did the Chagatai Khanate have? The total number of people is probably only 70,000 or 80,000! And there are only more than 30,000 Mongolian troops among them.

Only his father's side could carry out a population explosion and have sufficient food, but the Chagatai Khanate did not have such conditions when Genghis Khan separated.

Except for Tuo Lei, the other sons' armies are less than 10,000. It is already very good to have grown to this size in recent years.

The Chagatai Khanate has only more than 30,000 troops who are truly loyal to the Great Khan, and of these 30,000 people, except for a small number of several thousand who stay in the royal court.

All the rest are monitoring the movements on their own side and Batu's side.

The remaining troops in the royal court were very empty. If at this time, Kublai Khan led a 10,000-strong Golden Horde army to suddenly launch a surprise attack on the royal court of the Chagatai Khanate,
Then it is completely possible to annihilate all the royal members of the Chagatai Khanate. If the royal members are eliminated, then some of the other foreign troops under their command will be nothing more than a bunch of local chickens and dogs.

In addition, Kublai Khan sent people to his side to deceive the Tolei family's 30,000 troops. Now he has 40,000 troops under his command. Kublai Khan is fully capable of seizing the entire Chagatai Khanate.

"Damn it! Kublai Khan probably attacked the royal court of the Chagatai Khanate and annihilated all the Chagatai royal family." Zhang Dingguan stood up suddenly and said.

This approach is very bold, even a little unreasonable, but the probability of success is very high, and the benefits that can be obtained after success are unimaginable. Kublai Khan would rise from a rebellious runaway prince to a nation's khan.

And Batu will definitely support the other party, Zhang Dingguan can tell this, because Batu also hopes to have a buffer area between himself and Mongolia, the mainland.

It would be perfect for Kublai Khan to serve as this shield. If his father wanted to attack the Golden Horde in the future, he would definitely attack and destroy the Chagatai Khanate first.

To destroy the Chagatai Khanate, Abdul has a big choice. He can bring troops to support, and he can also have enough time to prepare for the war. Even with Kublai Khan standing in the way, Abdul can free up his hands. Come and deal with some countries in the West that are unwilling to repeat themselves.

And the most important thing is that now the matter is a foregone conclusion. Kublai Khan has destroyed all the royal families of the Chagatai Khanate, and there is nothing he can do if the country is not handed over to Kublai Khan. Because Kublai Khan now has 30,000 troops under his command, they are not rootless grass, and Batu has no reason to fall out with Kublai Khan.

"Grand Prince, what did you just say? Are you kidding? You said that Kublai Khan wanted to deal with the Chagatai Khanate?" A Mongolian Qianhu asked in disbelief.

"Although it sounds unbelievable to you, it is indeed true, and he has reasons to do this and has done it.

Think about it, why did the troops of the Chagatai Khanate go back in such a hurry? Without even thinking about it, Kublai Khan should have already taken action, launched an assault on the royal court of the Chagatai Khanate, and then killed everyone there. "Zhang Dingguan said.

After hearing Zhang Dingguan's explanation, all the generals present were shocked. They did not expect it, or they did not dare to think about it at all.

"Well, would Kublai Khan really do this? This, this is too, too outrageous, isn't it?"

When everyone in the room fell into silence, a group of people came to the door of the tent. The leaders were all members of the Tuolei family, Wanhu, and behind them, followed by a large group of Qianhu.

"Eldest Prince, we heard that you are back. We have some things to discuss with you and some things we want to ask you." Wanhu of the Tuo Lei family outside the tent said.

At this time, people from the Tuo Lei family arrived.

"Eldest Prince, how about I send them away first?"

"No, you let them in and invite them in politely. If they stay, it proves that they have not been bewitched by Kublai Khan. I believe them and let them in." Since Kublai Khan can make dangerous moves, then There's no reason I can't.

Since these remaining troops of the Tuolei family have no choice to leave with Kublai Khan, they are loyal to Mongolia. As for whether Kublai Khan will let these people stay as undercover agents.

Are you kidding me? How could more than 40,000 troops be kept as undercover agents? Wouldn't it be good to take all 70,000 people away?

Soon all the officers of the Tuolei family were introduced into the big tent.

"Grand Prince, we, we would like to ask you to give us an explanation. We, the troops of the Tolei family, betrayed our masters and surrendered to the Mongol Khan.

That was for the loyalty in the heart, that was for the continuation of Mongolian orthodoxy, but now, but now there is a bad rumor.

And we've proven something, so now we want to hear the truth. "A head of ten thousand households in the Tuo Lei family said.

In the past few days, a group of them gathered together to discuss for a long time, and finally decided to come and ask for an explanation. If this explanation satisfied them, then they would continue to follow him. If they were not satisfied, it was not impossible to follow Kublai Khan.

"I'm really sorry for you during this period. Speaking of which, your eldest princess is still my wife, but I don't believe you and have embarrassed you.

Just ask! Here today, no matter what it is, as long as you ask, I will tell you. "Zhang Ding closed his eyes and looked at a group of generals from the Tuolei family, and said.

The Tuo Lei family does have a grudge against their own family, but the real enemies are Tuo Lei himself, his two sons, Kublai Khan, and Meng Ge.

But these generals were all Mongolian generals, and they were only assigned to tow mines by Genghis Khan.

"Great Prince, please tell us the Great Khan of Mongolia, Guyuk Khan, has he passed away?"

"That's right, Guyuk Khan, he passed away a month ago, so we decided to withdraw our troops. I will no longer hide all this from you." Zhang Dingguan said.

Although they had already guessed part of the truth, after getting the exact answer, it still caused a commotion among the generals in the Tuo Lei family.

They didn't expect to get the answer they wanted so easily, but they also fell into a kind of confusion.

They betrayed Meng Ge, betrayed Kublai Khan, and surrendered to Mongol Khan Guyuk, but now the man they surrendered to is dead, so where should they go? They only surrendered a few months ago!
"Grand Prince! We, the warriors of the Tuolei family, have always been loyal to the Mongol Empire. We are loyal to the descendants of Genghis Khan, and you are the grandson of Genghis Khan.

He is also the husband of Master Tuo Lei’s daughter. I would like to ask, in your heart, are you still willing to believe us? "A member of Wanhu from the Tuo Lei family looked at Zhang Dingguan, took a deep breath, and asked.

"Everyone, I know you are confused, and I also know that I shouldn't have kept it from you before, but now, I am willing to confess everything to you, and I am willing to accept it from you.

Starting today, I will treat you like my most trusted subordinates, I promise you all.

I will not deceive or hide anything from you. You are all my Zepao brothers from today on, because you did not choose to follow Kublai Khan and left. You chose to stay. "Zhang Dingguan looked at all the Tuolei family generals present and said firmly.

He now finally knew what these generals of the Tuolei family wanted. All they wanted was trust.

Previously, because of the artifact and the loudspeaker sent by their father, they chose to surrender to the Mongolian Khan Guyuk.

He even followed the Mongol Khan Guyuk to hunt down his former master and attack the Golden Horde of Batu.

This is a huge expedition. No one knows what their fate will be, but these generals of the Tuolei family still accepted it.

But after that, Mongol Khan Guyuk was still wary of them. Although he comforted them many times, There is still a gap in treatment between them and the local army of the Ogedai family, and they are even sometimes looked down upon by the army of the Ogedai family.

The soldiers of the Tuolei family have endured these things because they are surrenderers and they have no choice.

It was already a great honor for them to accept the surrender of themselves and others, but now the person they were loyal to, Mongol Khan Guyuk, died inexplicably. What is this?
But at this time, the envoys sent by Kublai Khan came and told them that they were willing to forgive their rebellion.

Let them return to the Tolei family, let them lead their warriors, and all the family members of the Orlu camp to come and surrender to him and he will occupy the Chagatai Khanate.

Many generals who had fallen into confusion finally chose to believe in Kublai Khan and surrendered to Kublai Khan's army, but there were also a large number of soldiers from the Tuo Lei family who did not want to believe all this.

But there are still some people with firmer beliefs who choose to stay and listen to the final explanation of the great prince of Guanzhong.

And they got the answer they wanted, the grandson of Genghis Khan and the son-in-law of Master Tuo Lei. The son of Guanzhong Wang Zhangyong did not disappoint them in the end and gave them a satisfactory answer.

"First Prince, please remember what you said today. All our remaining generals are willing to be loyal to you and to the King of Guanzhong. Please don't betray us again." A group of officers from the Tuo Lei family knelt down on the ground.

"Don't worry, since I promised you, I will definitely not break my promise." Zhang Dingguan said.

"Great Prince! Kublai Khan has raided the Chagatai Khanate, according to the envoy he sent.

Now that all the royal families of the Chagatai Khanate have been slaughtered by him, I think this is a good opportunity and we should retreat quickly. "

The generals of the Tuolei family informed Zhang Dingguan of all the news about Kublai Khan. (End of chapter)
