Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Batu was very angry. Kublai's behavior completely violated his bottom line, his tolerance limit.

You bastard, how could you do this? Although the people of the Golden Family attacked each other, they still abided by some bottom lines.

It has been hundreds of years since the Golden Family was established, and such a cruel thing has never happened.

This kind of thing of directly massacring an entire family has never happened before. Once this matter spreads, it will cause a huge uproar.

You must know that even though the Mongolian Khan Guyuk targeted the Tolui family so much, he did not kill all of your family members!

You bastard, you don't even have any hatred towards the Chagatai family. You did this just because you coveted their land and their people.

Kublai Khan, Kublai Khan, I misjudged you. You are far inferior to Mongke. At least Mongke would not do such a shameless thing.

Batu is in a very upset mood now. When he was in the West before, he had a good relationship with Zhang Yong, and Zhang Yong even showed kindness to him many times.

But because of his admiration for Tolui in his youth, he chose to help Mongke, but in fact, he still wanted to repair the relationship between Mongke and Zhang Yong at the beginning.

Let the two of them not be so hostile to each other. After all, they are both members of the Golden Family, and Zhang Yong is also the son-in-law of the Khan for two generations.

However, the reason that completely deadlocked the conflict between the two was the death of Kuo Lejian. The youngest son of Genghis Khan and the uncle of himself and others died inexplicably on the battlefield.

At that time, Batu was very angry and very anxious deep down.

After all, he was a member of the Golden Family. Mongke's words at the time were very vague, but he himself said that it was definitely not him who did it.

For the sake of friendship, Badu chose to endure and stabbed Zhang Yong in the back, keeping the matter secret and even transporting the body back to Mongolia in advance.

But these things eventually made Zhang Yong discover that the other party had ruthlessly exposed his conspiracy, but did not come to question it.

Afterwards, he explained many times and tried his best to have a nominal marriage with Zhang Yong, which slightly eased the relationship between the two commanders of the Western Expedition.

Until the end of the Western Expedition, the conflict between the two sides broke out completely. Zhang Yong supported a threatening organization in the West, an organization united by multiple countries, which made it impossible for him to dominate the Western world. (In the original history, Batu still carried out several small-scale Western Expeditions, but they were all repelled at that time. Europe was already prepared. Europe's combat effectiveness was really strong. At the beginning, it was not used to the Mongolian style of play.

But at this point in time, Mongolia's weapons are more advanced, the army is more well-trained, and because of large farms and various foods, the population has also experienced explosive growth, so Batu's strength is much stronger than the original Golden Horde.)
After that, the two broke up completely, and he even found a way to imprison Zhang Yong's son. But who could have imagined that the person he sent was just an ordinary adopted son, while he left his real eldest son on the Mongolian grassland.

Sarida was the son he had been training as his successor, but now he was inexplicably left on the Mongolian grasslands.

I don’t know how Guiyou and Zhang Yong will deal with their son, whether to use him to threaten me or kill him to vent their anger.

"Khan, Batu Khan! This matter, this matter, our brothers really don't know the truth. If we knew the truth, we would never follow Kublai Khan.

Who could have imagined, who could have imagined, that Kublai Khan, this bastard, would do such a cruel thing. "The messenger knelt on the ground and looked at Batu with a look of despair.

"Oh! I don't blame you. Sometimes one wrong step leads to all wrong steps. I chose the wrong path, and all the subsequent steps were wrong." Batu sighed deeply and said.

Kublai Khan's control over people's hearts even made him feel a little familiar, a little similar to a certain person, that person was Zhang Yong, but compared to Zhang Yong, Kublai Khan's methods were even more vicious and brutal.

Zhang Yong is more of a person who advocates that if a problem can be solved without war and the goal can be achieved, then war should never be used as a means of resolution.

And people also have bottom lines, which is clear to everyone, but Kublai Khan has no bottom line, he has no bottom line at all. Although they have only been in contact for a few months.

But Batu had already seen through what kind of person he was. If he wanted to train a new successor, he had to find a way to get some Han counselors or teachers from the East to teach him some Han culture, otherwise his descendants would suffer a great loss.

"Batu Khan! Kublai Khan can't defeat us now, so let's send troops to attack him directly! And take down the Chagatai Khanate." A prince of the Golden Horde said.

Since Kublai Khan is so insidious and cunning and did such a thing, it's not impossible for them to do so. It's just the bottom line after all. If you can cross the bottom line, then so can I.

In this matter, Kublai Khan used conspiracy and trickery to severely deceive the Golden Horde. No matter what, he must get back at them. It is not easy for you to rule the Chagatai Khanate.

"Could Kublai not have thought of what you have thought of? He had thought of it a long time ago, and even explained to me in detail in this letter the benefits of his ruling the Chagatai Khanate.

If I lead my troops into a conflict with him, the 10,000 people in our hands will become his hostages. Moreover, he is now gathering some local ethnic minority troops, and the forces under his command will not be weak.

And he is right, I do need a buffer point." Batu said.

There was no way. Kublai Khan really had a hold on him on this matter. Although he was very angry and hateful, sometimes things were just so absurd and ridiculous.

He also had to accept everything Kublai did, because he had no capital to turn against him. If he did, he would attract an attack from the Mongolian headquarters.

"Batu Khan! Are we going to take the blame for Kublai Khan? Are we going to take the blame on ourselves?

Last time, you helped them carry the blame, and all the kings of the Western and Eastern Mongolians scolded you." A prince of the Golden Horde couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up and spoke.

A few years ago, during the Western Expedition, Brother Batu helped his family take the blame. He took on the death of Prince Kuo Lejian and even withstood the pressure from the previous Mongol Khan Ogedei.

Now, your elder brother Mongke cheated Batu Khan once, and now you are cheating him again, and in such a despicable way. Mongke at least admitted his mistakes actively, even humbly.

You actually set a conspiracy against us. We have to accept it whether we like it or not. You have completely screwed the Golden Horde.

"There's nothing we can do. It's our fault for being at odds with the Mongol Khan Guyuk! Now we really need someone to defend against the east for us and establish a buffer zone for us." Batu sighed helplessly and said.

It is true that Kublai Khan won the battle, but he also controlled himself. Batu really needs some time to buffer himself.

With this buffer zone, he could deal with some enemies without any hesitation, and at least completely take over the Southern Ross region.

Batu planned to organize a war immediately after returning this time, leading the army of Northern Russia and his own army to take over the Southern Russia region.

"Batu Khan! I think we can occupy this place too. Why should we give such a large land to Kublai Khan? We, the Golden Horde, can also rule here.

Wouldn't it be better if you sent one of your brothers to rule here and let the Chagatai Khanate become your vassal state? Why should we let others rule this place?" said a prince of the Golden Horde.

Why should we give such good land to others? Isn't it better for us to occupy it ourselves? Don't we have as many troops as the Tolui family?
"If you want to occupy this place, you will face the Mongol Empire directly. Moreover, Kublai Khan now has an army of 3 people from the Tolui family under his command. These people are not here to eat and do nothing. It is not as easy as you think to destroy them." Batu shook his head.

He explained to his brothers that it was not that he did not want to occupy this place, but that the bastard Kublai Khan had already calculated everything and he had no choice.

If there had been any other choice, Batu would have taken up his sword and killed him long ago.

"Kublai Khan is really lucky."

"However, although I cannot occupy the Chagatai Khanate, I can take away some of the land near the west, and Kublai Khan will not dare to say anything." Batu said. Since you, Kublai Khan, are playing a conspiracy with me and are unjust to me, then I will not be polite to you. I can give the country to you, but I did not say that I will not take away some of the territory.

"That's right. If we take over a part of the territory, we can give a brother a little more territory later."

"Yes! Yes! We can also get a little more territory."

When the princes of the Golden Horde heard about dividing the territory, they were very happy. Batu was really good to his brothers and gave them everything they deserved.

As long as they nominally submitted to the Golden Horde, everyone was autonomous.

"Well! The land we occupy now belongs to our Golden Horde. Also, notify the entire army to begin retreating. After the war is over and the 10,000-strong army returns, we will immediately return west." Batu said.

If Kublai Khan and Guyuk come to attack you this time, I won't help you. You'll just have to fend for yourself.

After discussing matters with his brothers, Batu led his Golden Horde back early the next morning and sent a letter to Kublai Khan, asking him to withdraw 10,000 people immediately.

And he told Kublai Khan that he was the one who decided the matter himself, and that his Golden Horde did not participate in the massacre of the Chagatai family.

But how many people believe this explanation? After all, it was your army of the Golden Horde that killed people. Even if the leader was Kublai Khan, you are also responsible.

No matter how you explain this kind of thing, no one will believe it.

After receiving Batu's letter, Kublai Khan did not say anything else, but immediately released the 1-man army, and took the foreign troops he recruited and troops from Tolui's family to continue to seize the territory of the Chagatai Khanate.

It’s useless to say anything now. The most important thing is to establish a base for yourself. The land of Chagatai Khanate is very good and can be used for both farming and grazing.

Moreover, the land of the King of Guanzhong is separated from the territory of the Ogedei family and the territory of Western Xia, so it is not easy to send troops to attack him directly.

This time he had indeed tricked Batu, but if he hadn't done this, he would have stayed in the Golden Horde for the rest of his life, only being a minor aide, and not even able to become a prince.

This kind of life is not what Kublai Khan wanted.

On the other side, Zhang Dingguan and others, with several thousand troops, also found some remnant troops of the Chagatai Khanate, which had gathered together.

More than 90% of them are Mongolians, and the remaining foreign troops have already fled. These people can fight well with the Khan leading them, but now the morale of the Mongols has dropped to the lowest point, and no one is in the mood to care about them.

After receiving the news of Zhang Dingguan's arrival, several commanders of the Chagatai Khanate looked at each other and decided to meet the eldest prince of Guanzhong. After all, they got along quite well with each other.

After the two sides met, they first exchanged friendly greetings, and then Zhang Dingguan was invited into the big tent by a large group of generals from the Chagatai family.

Then several commanders of the Chagatai family knelt on the ground.

"Prince! You should already know what has happened recently. Please, let the Mongolian Khan come out to administer justice!
Batu and Kublai Khan went too far. They actually slaughtered our Chagatai family."

"My prince, you are also the grandson of Genghis Khan, you are also a member of the Golden Family, and your father is the son-in-law of two generations of Khans. Please, let them come out and administer justice!"

The recent experiences of the Chagatai family are extremely tragic. What is going on?
You two are fighting? We can only survive in the cracks, but you actually slaughtered our entire royal family.

"Everyone, don't worry. The Mongolian Khan of the Mongolian headquarters will never sit idly by and watch this matter. Neither will my father, nor will Uncle Guyuk." Zhang Dingguan hurriedly stepped forward to help up a group of generals and spoke.

It seems that the generals of the Chagatai family are quite dissatisfied with Batu and Kublai Khan!
This is a good thing. This is good news for me. Now Zhang Dingguan is more confident and can convince these people to leave with him.

"My Lord! Our master, the Khan, is the grandson of Lord Chagatai, who is the son of Genghis Khan.

He received the reward from Genghis Khan, but now there is a man, a hungry wolf who has robbed our land and slaughtered their descendants."

"This has never happened before on the grassland. The Golden Family slaughtered members of the Golden Family. This is an unforgivable act."

"I understand. Kublai Khan really went too far in this matter. As a member of the Golden Family, even if there are conflicts, they should fight openly. But he was so despicable that he even slaughtered the entire family, not even sparing the elderly and children." Zhang Dingguan said.

"Prince! As long as the Mongol Khan is still willing to lead us, we will immediately join your army and fight against the despicable Kublai Khan together."

"Grand Prince, please lead us, lead us to defeat the despicable Kublai Khan, and make him pay the price, make him pay the price with his blood."

Inside the tent, many generals of the Chagatai Khanate suddenly became excited. They had been worried these days and didn't even have a backbone. They had no idea what to do.

Now a big shot has finally arrived. Zhang Dingguan’s identity is still very special. At least he is the grandson of Genghis Khan, although only the grandson-in-law.

“Hey, you may not know that there was a big problem with the coalition forces, which caused part of the family’s army to rebel. But fortunately, some generals came to their senses and did not follow the rebel king Kublai Khan.

So now we really can’t fight this battle.” Zhang Dingguan said.

Kublai Khan had only 30 to 40,000 men under his command to fight this battle. He led these men to run all over the prairie, and their army of more than 100,000 was about to be dragged down.

A Western Expedition cannot be launched at will; it requires thorough preparation.

"Prince, don't you want to help us get revenge? Then what is the reason for you to come here to see us?" asked the general of the Chagatai family.

"My father had a very good relationship with Lord Chagatai and was taken care of by Lord Chagatai many times. Uncle Baidar and Uncle Guyuk also had a very good relationship with my father.

Therefore, no matter what is reasonable or moral, I cannot sit idly by and watch such a terrible incident, so I came here.

I want to invite you to return to the Mongolian grasslands with me first. Here, you will be killed by Kublai Khan.

But on the Mongolian grasslands, I can protect you. After we have rested for a while, I promise you that I will definitely bring you back to fight again." Zhang Dingguan said.

"My Lord, you want us to go with you to the Mongolian steppes and live there?"

"That's right. You come with me. When we reach the east, I will arrange some pastures for you so that you can continue to graze." Zhang Dingguan said.

After returning, he will take out the decree of succession from Guyuk Khan, and then with the power of his father, he can ascend to the position of Mongolian Khan.

It would be easy to allocate part of the territory of the Eastern Mongolian grassland to allow these herdsmen of the Chagatai family to live there.

"Prince, you promised us that you would bring us back for revenge one day. How long will that take? Please give us an exact time so that we can believe you." A general of the Chagatai family said.

What they need now is a reasonable commitment. (End of this chapter)
