Chapter 32: It is difficult to discern the true face even with the discerning eye (4)

Song Yichang smiled and said, "The Mongols respect the heaven of immortality, and the Han people respect the heaven of heaven, but no matter what heaven is, they will not be the home of the great knights."

He approached Kublai Khan again and said, "If the Khan really regarded you or King Mengge as his heirs, why did he not let you be the commander when he was conquering the Southern Dynasties, but let his three sons be the commander? Logically speaking, how can he be able to intimidate the heroes without enough military merit? This is obviously to let his own son succeed to the throne. According to the current situation, once King Mengge is recruited. Even King Mengge takes over, can he have enough prestige to command these famous ministers and generals who have experienced many battles? On the contrary, King Qu Shu and King Kuoduan have become commanders of the front level, and they will take over it. It is in line with humanity and reason. Isn't this a clear thing on the table?"

Kublai Khan's face became even more ugly, and he argued: "Even if Dahan really had this plan, there was still Currytai on the grassland. The old method passed down from generation to generation, Dahan said that if it didn't count, it wouldn't count?"

The way to elect leaders in the prairie was to hold a meeting of tribe leaders, called Currytai, where each tribe officials introduced a heir with qualified bloodline and ability to serve as the leaders of tribes. Temujin of the Borjijin clan held a meeting of Currytai when he served as Qiyan Khan and was elected by Genghis Khan, but once he ascended the throne, he immediately began to abolish the unsatisfactory old policies. When he decided his third son Ogedei was the Khan, he did not hold a meeting of Currytai, but acted on his own arbitrary. Before and after establishing Ogedei as the crown prince, Genghis Khan first asked Ogedei to handle government affairs. During the Western Expedition, he also led an army to conquer cities and land, and sent many elite soldiers and generals to his dispatch.

Everything he did was exactly the same as what Ogedei did currently with the song and Kuoduan.

"With the example of Lao Khan, how could the Khan of Ogedei have any concerns? Besides, everyone was on the grassland and took care of each other. It took great courage to betray his companions and ancestors." Song Yichang slowly analyzed: "Now Lao Khan's four sons' khando (Mongolian palace tent, Mongolians live with water and grass, and the tent of the leader is the capital of his country) is distributed on the territory of thousands of miles. There are mountains and rivers in the middle. When Temujin Khan was there, Shu Chihan had already openly ignored his orders and hid in the west and did not return. Today, with the momentum of Ogedei Khan's Khan, the khans of the major khans have ulterior motives. At that time, the descendants of Tolei Khan really want to initiate Currytai, how many leaders can respond?"

Kublai Khan knew that the Southern Dynasties was a perfect truth. Two years ago, he and Mengge led their subordinates to the territory of the Khan of Chagatai to hunt. However, his uncle Chagatai made an excuse that horse plague was now in the Western Regions and asked not to enter the country. He also sent the body of a horse that died of illness and was loaded with a chariot to give it to the two brothers. At that time, both thought that Chagatai was telling the truth, so he led his troops back. Later, Chagatai

A horse-raising official named Chi Wutai, who was under Hetai, committed a crime and fled to Mengge's territory. He told Mengge that it was Khan Ogedei who actually ordered the two brothers not to enter the Western Regions. He was worried that the two brothers would take advantage of the opportunity to hunt in Chagatai to lure the troops of Chagatai's subordinates to strengthen their power. Chagatai was also worried that the two were strong, so he sent the magicians from the Western Regions to kill a horse and lied that the horse plague deceived the two of them away.

The battle for the throne never stopped for a while, but the two brothers were too young at that time and couldn't understand some things.

Song Yichang looked at the increasingly severe expression on Kublai Khan's face, and knew that he had just hit Kublai Khan's deepest worry. The knife had been inserted, and now it was time to use medicine.

He took out the paper fan from the sleeve of the robe, spread it out and slapped it gently, and smiled and said, "Even if this is the case, I think the future position of the Great Sweat will return to the hands of the Tolei family."

Kublai Khan suddenly had a glory in his eyes and shouted, "Why do you say that? What kind of way do you have to let my brother take power? Say it quickly!"

"So I was able to draw this conclusion because there is one thing, the other three branches of the Golden Family (Genghis Khan family) are not as good as the Tolei Group." Song Yichang said: "That time, Temujin Khan divided the Mongolian elite troops in the headquarters into 95 thousand households, and who will come after most of them?"

More than half of them, the most combat-effective part was included in Tolei's tent. This is the tradition of "young son guarding the stove" believed by Mongolian ancestors. Most of the family's property is the youngest, and the brothers need to use bows, arrows and horse whips to find a place to settle down. The problem is that Temujin's family business is a bit bigger, and it is left to Tolei's tribes, which is the most favorable support for the future regime of the Mongolian Empire.

"Now that claiming to be under the custody of your brothers, I heard that there are 18,000 elite cavalrymen in the headquarters, not counting the affiliated troops of other ethnic groups, your strength can completely intimidate the kings of other families and inherit the throne of the Khan." Song Yichang said coldly: "You must know that the decision to belong to the Khan position is neither the blood of the Golden Family nor the Curry Conference, nor even the personal instructions from the Khan himself. There is only one thing that determines the belonging of the Khan position, which is the strength of the military power of each subordinate, and how many bows and arrows you have, determines how much chance of winning in the future battle for the Khan position."

"You are teaching me..." Kublai Khan quickly waved his head: "Mongols cannot kill each other. Genghis Khan said, if the Mongols unite, no one in the world is our opponent, but if the Mongols hit themselves, a woman can easily defeat us with a small branch."

"If you want to ascend to the throne of Khan, please say these words." Song Yichang was a little anxious. He thought that the Mongols were all cunning and fierce characters with not very high IQ. As long as he sat on his preferences and talked along their personalities, he would probably gain his trust. But Kublai Khan didn't. He was different from other Mongolian nobles since he was a child, and he had a little more thoughtfulness in his straightforwardness. Although he had been in the shadow of his brother Mengge, he was still not eye-catching now, but he had gradually shown his unique side.

Song Yi failed to say anything in a short time, so he could only continue to attack: "Now is not a time to show warmth. You talk to King Qu'er and King Kuoduan, but you cannot stop them from plotting your subordinates and property. I heard that this time, your subordinates who were with the team to the south were not only normal plunder, but also received generous gifts from Qu'er and Kuoduan. Qu'er even made it clear to them that as long as they can be betray you and Mengge, they will definitely have high officials and generous salaries in the future Khanate. If they don't follow, they may be sent to guard the ice and snowy place, and they will be exiled. Such behaviors are like putting a knife on your neck of the king. At this time, you are still thinking about how to unite as a heart, and it will no longer be the benevolence of the king, but the benevolence of a woman."

Kublai Khan was silent for a while and suddenly asked, "Sir Yi, what should I do?"

Song Yichang said: "I only have eight words: 'If you come out, you will be safe, and if you are in trouble, you will be in trouble'."

He asked Kublai Khan: "What have Khan been doing recently?"

Kublai Khan shook his head and sighed: "What else can I do? I either drink freely on the grassland every day or hang out with the beautiful singers who were plundered by the Western Regions. Batulu, who was unchanged from the past, was no longer here."

"Yelu Chucai also advised him several times, pointing to the wine tank that was holding wine and told him that even such a hard wine tank had eroded several cracks by the wine, let alone the human body? But after a period of sweating, he became drunk again."

"The technique of immortality in the Central Plains says that wine and color are the two things that destroy lifespan the most." Song Yichang said: "Da Khan does not care about his body like this, but he is afraid he will not have much time."

"The more you are in this way, the more complicated the situation of the struggle will be. Now you and King Mengge hold heavy troops. Although Ogedei and his sons dare not easily harm them, they must beware of the precedent of King Tolei."

Mongolian soldiers were in formation and were accustomed to using poisonous arrows, rotten corpses, etc. as offensive weapons, and he was also very proficient in poisoning. At that time, Tolei was willing to sacrifice his life for the Khan, and died less than a moment after drinking the wizard's poisonous wine. If Ogedei really poisoned the two brothers, it would be very simple to take their lives.

"The first step is to protect yourself. The most important thing for the king now is to choose a distant enemy and ask Da Khan Chen to attack him. Pull out all his people and stay outside. In this way, the assassin dares not take action, and you can also observe the movements on the grassland outside, without being controlled by others."

Song Yichang said: "At present, King Badu is about to lead a large army to fight in the West. You can ask the Khan for troops to send troops in the name of attacking together..."

Kublai Khan smiled and said, "You don't know that this trip is an expedition for the eldest son. With Badu, they all went to the eldest son of each family. The eldest son of Khan, Guiyu, and Mengge Anda, went on an expedition with the army. If I just beg Khan to let me go, wouldn't it be a joke for Mengge Anda?"

It was actually the case that the Mongol Empire held a military meeting last year. The meeting decided to set a major plan, headed by Shuchi's eldest son Badu Khan, and the eldest sons of the sects of each clan led troops to the expedition. The goal was to dominate Western Poland and Kiev and other principalities. This proposal came from Chagatai Khan, who was firmly living in the Western Regions. His purpose was naturally to turn the attention of the Shuchi's men to the west and not covet his own land. However, this time the eldest son's expedition broke the famous city and shocked the continent. He did not stop until he was about to reach the foot of the city.

Song Yichang frowned and said, "Since you can't go west, what about going east? Pu Xian Wannu was just captured and killed by our army, so why not take the opportunity to attack North Korea and destroy the Wang family."
