Unexpectedly, as soon as the Mongols left, the Goryeo King sent troops to kill the seventy-two Mongolian guards next year, rekindled the war, and moved the capital from Kaicheng to Jianghua Island to show his determination to fight the Mongols to the end with natural danger.

Ogedei was furious and sent troops to conquer again. This time he fought to the southern part of the peninsula, but could not capture Jianghua Island, which was separated by water. Instead, he was defeated in Guangzhou. Even the commander was hit by a trap and died. After the Mongolian army withdrew his troops, the third battle of conquest of Goryeo in the second year of Duanping, which was last year, began the third battle of conquest of Goryeo. Now some of the troops stationed in Liaodong have begun to invade south of the Yalu River. In order to capture the entire territory of Goryeo as soon as possible and capture the rebellious Goryeo King alive, it is necessary to send a large army to reinforce the Goryeo Strategic Army in Liaodong.

Everyone said that Liaodong was originally the left-leader Marshal Shu Chi's jurisdiction, and it should be reasonably the troops led by Shu Chi to resolve the resistance of Goryeo. However, this time, Goryeo's resistance was very determined. Not only the defenders and officials, but also farmers, small businesses, monks, Taoists and doctors from the West, they organized teams to fight against the Mongolian army. The women even dressed in white clothes and formed a white-clothed team to attack Mongolian cavalry day and night in the fields.

If there is no timely reinforcement, it is estimated that the army of Chi may have suffered the same defeat as the previous expedition army. It is legendary in the city of Lin that the Khan will send at least a prince-level official to Liaodong this time, and at least an additional cavalry team of 20,000 people will be sent to Liaodong.

This was an opportunity. Song Yichang thought that if Kublai Khan could preside over this Eastern Expedition, he might be able to raise his position among the kings. He used this to provoke a dispute between the princes of the Ogedei and the Tolei clan, and thus set off a big infighting.

But he was unwilling to let Kublai Khan's strength improve so quickly. With his sharp sense of recognition, Song Yichang instinctively felt that the main opponent in the future of Song Dynasty was neither Qupao nor Kuoduo, but the Tolei Prince who spoke honestly and knew smartly.

He was unwilling to make this heroic nobleman stronger, but he hoped to expose his ambitions as soon as possible to trigger civil strife in the Mongolian dynasty.

Based on his observations during this period, he believed that Bai Yijie's judgment on the possibility of internal strife in the Mongol Empire was very likely. Although he did not know how Bai Lejie inferred it, with his own eyes, he found that not only the sect kings and the sect kings, but also the 10,000 households and 10,000 households in the local area were in conflicts and competition. Because the Mongols could not establish a top-down county system like the Central Plains, but according to traditional customs, local tyrants served as local chiefs to unified the management of the people and finances. Therefore, the vassalization of the vassal states in various places was very serious. In addition to actively providing troops in the expedition that could make achievements and spoils, generals from all over the country were neither willing to transfer to other places, nor were they willing to actively lead troops to support when other lords encountered failures. It was quite a bit cold-eyed and observant.

As for the separation between the golden family, it became even clearer. The princes of the Shuchi clan had already openly ignored Genghis Khan's orders when Shuchi was still alive, and led a large army to stay on the Scythian grassland in the West and refused to come back. Obviously, they were preparing to expedition to the Duchy of Ross further west to occupy new territory whenever they had the opportunity, and then set up palace tents and never come back. If Shuchi had not died early, this plan might have been realized when Genghis Khan was alive.

But now the princes of the Shu Chi clan are still guarding the fiefdom in the west with their army. Once they have the chance, they will still venture westward to get rid of Helin's control. Even if they are given a chance, they will lead their troops back to grab the Khan position.

Chagatai seems to be in good health at present. He lives in an extremely low-key manner when he stays on his fiefdom. It is completely different from his previous years of fighting with Shuchi and coveting the Khan position. It is probably because the Khan position was in the hands of Ogedei, and his ambitions have been exhausted. Or maybe Genghis Khan saw this son very clearly and arranged for him the old place of the Western Liao Dynasty and the places where the Uygur people live. The residents here are good at operating business, but they lack the courage to fight bloody battles. In addition, the rich local resources in the Western Regions and the beautiful women are the gentle trap of trapping and killing heroes. Chagatai is trapped here, and gradually the heroic ambition is exhausted.

However, his sons were still young and frivolous, and they refused to waste their heroic spirit in the beauty village. They held the powerful Kangli Turkic soldiers in their hands. These arrogant soldiers had fought bloody battles with the Mongolian army in Khorasan for years. Even Genghis Khan praised their bravery for fighting. They had the Uygur rangers who were good at guerrilla warfare and robbery, and Islamic light infantry who were good at defending and sieging cities. They could even hire the Alan tribe cavalry who came across the Black Sea. These brave cavalry disdained bows and arrows, but liked to fight with the enemy in close combat with spears. Their brave and fearless spirit was even the Mongolian heavy cavalry that was invincible in the world.

They were never willing to stay on this grassland and sit on the grassland and waited for the descendants of Ogedei to take over the sweat position safely.

As for Tolei's sons, they were right next to Ogedei, who controlled the elite troops used by Genghis Khan to conquer the world, and they were even more of the Khan's confidant.

The Khan sent his sons to attack Jiangnan again and again, in an attempt to establish his own territory to compete with the Mongolian princes of the other three factions. However, the unexpected Song Dynasty did not imagine that it was so vulnerable, but instead put the sons of the Ogedei clan into an embarrassing situation of not advancing or retreating.

The discussion gathered by the fire pit continued enthusiastically, and some people were talking about the Western Region dancers who were not covered in clothes and had a sharp waist in the gathering area of ​​the east and west areas of the city, and were fascinated by the Mongols from Prince Khan to soldiers and young envoys.

Some people also said that women in the Great Food Country are more charming and charming than dancers in Khorasan. Even the King of Badu, who usually claims to be a bad woman, was thinking about it and wanted to guide the Great Food Country before applying.

Some people also joked that although the women in the Principality of Ross on the grassland were blonde and beautiful, they were as strong as ox, and were as powerful as men. When defending the city, they tied two thick braids behind them, wearing a long robe with coarse cloth and wool, holding heavy axes in their hands, and wrists on their waists, and some women even carried heavy wooden shields. They marched and fought like men. The Mongols would lose their arrogance when they saw this. Where could they have the fun of having sex with fish and water? I really don’t know how the men in the Principality of Rosss lived.

Some people also said that recently, I heard that a man who claimed to have died in Khwarezm Sultan Zalandin Minbulnu, who had previously claimed to have died, was immediately arrested by the Mongolian soldiers stationed in the local area. He was tortured and admitted that it was fake. However, Chagatai Khan was still skeptical about the authenticity of Zalandin's death, because when his confidant general assassinated him and sent his head to the palace tent, the head had been in the hot Persian mountains for many days, and was rotten and irrecognizable. If it were to say that a shepherd in the mountains was killed casually to seek merit and reward, it was not small.

At present, the territory of Chagatai Khan is not stable, and the Turkic residents who believe in Orthodox Church often break out on small-scale rebellions. If Zalandin really did not die at this time, if he came out again and called on the people to drive away the Mongolians, it would inevitably take a lot of trouble to exterminate him.

Some people also said that yesterday, the merchants who returned to the Western Regions said that the Great Qin State has been attacked by the Islamic Turks recently, and was threatened by autonomous city-states in the West, and there was a shortage of money, food, and horses. Therefore, they specially sent envoys to the east, hoping to meet the Khan in Helin City, form an alliance with Mongolia, and attack the Seljuk Turks from both sides to alleviate the temporary urgent need.

These short-sighted guys did not see the consequences of doing so. Xixia has proved the failure of this short-sighted diplomatic strategy. The Song Dynasty and Goryeo are proving the consequences of this strategy. But after all, people are short-sighted creatures. As long as they can alleviate the temporary urgent needs, even if they form an alliance with the devil.

Song Yichang sighed in his heart that the world is really different from before. The Tang people's notes are at most just recording Khurashan, Tianzhu, Dayuezhi Kingdom, and Kangju, and there are too many absurd places. Today, people are already talking about the customs of the Qin Dynasty and Dashi Kingdom, and it is quite credible.

This is naturally the unintentional willow planting of the Mongols. While they expanded their territory, they reconnected the known civilized world at the cost of blood. However, there was too much blood and death. Many prosperous cities and originally highly developed civilizations have never been unknown since they experienced the destruction and massacre of the Mongols.

Song Yichang didn't think of this for the time being. What he thought was that the territory of the Mongols was too vast. They conquered cities and destroyed the enemy country. After decades of war, although the troops became stronger and stronger, there were more and more enemies. Those great food countries, the Duchy of Ross, and the Goryeo Kingdoms in the distance would become powerful allies of the Song Dynasty in the future. But just like the strategy of Emperor Wu of Han to connect with the Great Yuezhi back then, if foreign aid plays a role, the Song Dynasty must first have the courage and elite soldiers to face Mongolia alone.

These are what Bai Yijie and Zheng Yunming have to consider.

What Song Yichang had to consider was how to meet the Mongolian Khan and set out to carry out his plan.

He was thinking about how to get in touch with the Khan through the Nine-Level Imperial Guards, and suddenly he heard three long hushi sounds in the direction of Wan'an Palace in the southwest.

After a while, a young man who looked like a servant ran into the store and asked, "Who is Mr. Song Yichang?"

Song Yichang raised his hand and said, "I am Song Yichang."
