Chapter 376: The Fateful Enemy Part 1
Mongolia in southern desert, eastern Bulachuan grassland.
This is the time of clear and refreshing autumn, and even the sky looks particularly bright and profound at this time. The green grassland is covered with irresistible yurts and flocks of sheep like white clouds flowing on the hillside. If there were no large flags flying around and no large brigades of cavalry patrolling, the whole world would be a bit like a landscape painting.
In the center of the large Mongolian clan guarding layer by layer, there is a particularly tall golden-topped tent. In front of the tent, there are nine Sulu ingot spears erected for the first time. Under the spear head like a trident, there are also strands of long strips made of sheepskin. These nine Sulu ingot spears are combined to represent the nine white flags symbolizing the supreme power of the Mongolian Khan!
And the golden tent with nine-character tents at the door is the tent of Kublai Khan, who named himself the Mongolian Khan!
After a long journey, Kublai Khan and his 50,000 Mongolian army had arrived from the Jinlianchuan grassland to the Bulachuan grassland stationed by Alibugo's troops. At this time, the same golden tent and the nine-square white tent were guarded by another 50,000 Mongolian army.
The most powerful force of the Great Mongolian Kingdom was in danger in Yanyun and Liaodong. When Han marquis in the north raised their anti-flags, they gathered on this distant Bulachuan grassland.
However, at this moment, there was no trace of tension on the Bulachuan grassland. The two armies that supported the two Mongolian Khans showed considerable friendship with each other.
In fact, most of the Mongolian warriors in this 100,000 army came from the Central Ulus directly under the Khanate. The soldiers on both sides had no hatred, and many of them were relatives. Some of them were fathers and brothers to protect Alibu Ge. The children followed Kublai Khan, while others met with their father-in-law and son-in-law and brother-in-law on the battlefield. Even the two Khans met with each other. They were all the same mother and compatriots.
This battle for the Khan throne was simply a brotherly battle between Tolei. And it was at the critical moment when the strong enemy of Great Mongolia emerged! This civil war, which is likely to ruin the hegemony of Great Mongolia, is naturally not very popular (Mongols). Therefore, most of the generals of the warring sides were happy to hear the news of peace talks and they fought each other on the grassland without much population, and there was no benefit. How could they compare to burning and killing in the Han area? So except for Kublai Khan and Alibuge's confidants, most of the soldiers and generals were hoping to stop the war earlier. They didn't care much about who lost and who would win.
Anyway, it’s enough that Genghis Khan’s descendants come out to be a khan, no matter who he is!
"Da Khan, Alibu Ge has already agreed to your conditions."
In the golden tent, the great lama Basiba was reporting the progress of the peace talks to Kublai Khan. Alibuge also believed in the Lama religion and respected the monk very much, so Basiba became the intermediary of the peace talks between the two sides.
"Hmph, he can't refuse!" Kublai Khan's face turned gloomy and gritted his teeth, "If we continue to fight, the two thieves Chen Dexing and Li Yu will occupy the northern Han territory. Then he will defeat me and will be able to seize the northern land from Chen and Li. If he cannot take back the northern land, what should Ulus eat in the central Ulus? What should the four host kings eat?"
Whether Li Yan or Chen Dexing, they are better than Zhao Guanjia! If the North land falls into their hands, Kublai Khan and Ali Buge will have no way to do it. At that time, at least two million Mongolian Tartars, the Central Ulus and the Four Host Kings, will have to endure hardships together.
Even if the sweat is in trouble, there are so many warriors who are used to eating and eating, and are willing to live a hard life with them? Are you willing to herd sheep and cattle to support the sweat court?
This is just a daydream!
Moreover, the peace terms proposed by Kublai Khan were obviously beneficial to Ali Buge. First of all, Ali Buge cannot defeat Kublai Khan now. Kublai Khan has the strength of the Han marquis of the Northern Territory, and is fighting the way of heavy infantry and light cavalry. There are also a large number of H-drug weapons in the army. It obviously has the upper hand in the previous competition.
Secondly, Kublai Khan gave up his hometown of Shaanxi, Gongchang and Xixia, allowing Alibuge to obtain part of the Han land and border with the Southern Song Dynasty. Whether it was trading with the Southern Song Dynasty or extorting annual monies, it could greatly alleviate Alibuge's financial pressure of Alibuge's 60,000 Mongolian army only swallowed gold beasts. If Jia Sidao had not given 3 million yuan of annual monies to the generals who were close to Alibuge in the Mongolian Western Army, Alibuge would have been poor and would have been poor.
Again, Kublai Khan handed over Li Yan, who was easier to deal with in the Chen-Li alliance, to Ali Buge, and he went to fight Chen Dexing as a tough guy. In fact, Ali Buge didn't need to fight Li Yan at all. As long as he stationed troops in Shaanxi, he could intimidate Shi Tianze and ask him not to turn against him and support Li Yan. With Li Yan's character, he would hesitate for a while. Maybe he would also march into Henan to support Shi Tianze...
The most important thing is that after Ali Buge gets the land of Gansu and Shaanxi, he can turn against Kublai Khan at any time!
This alliance is entirely based on the character of Ali Buge. If Ali Buge refuses such an alliance, it will be a problem with his brain.
After listening to Basiba's report, Kublai Khan smiled helplessly and sighed: "Master, go and repay Brother Alibu. In 10 days, I will go to his golden tent and swear with him. I will only bring...500 guards!"
Basiba was stunned and stared at Kublai Khan: "Khan, only 500 people are brought? What if..."
Kublai Khan smiled coldly: "There will be nothing wrong. Ali Buge is my younger brother. How can I not understand his character? The eagle on the grassland, the Khan King with a word of words, and the heroic man Ali Buge... How could he do despicable and vulgar things?"
...
The big lama of Basiba did not say much, but just smiled and took a leave. When he came out of the golden tent, he saw Liu Bingzhong and Yao Shu coming hurriedly. The lama clasped his hands to them and performed a Buddhist ritual. He asked with a smile: "You two are so in a hurry, are there any news on Yidu?"
"What news can Yidu have?" Yao Shu looked disdainful, "Since Li Yu can prepare for thirty years, he will not fight for a moment."
Yidu Li Yan's reaction was naturally slow. Thirty years of "farming" have made him develop a stable character of taking steps and taking it slowly. This personality is really not suitable for rebellion and fighting for hegemony in troubled times.
"It's news from Liaodong!" Liu Bingzhong said, "The Liaodong sent an urgent report. King Tachaer Khan and Chen Dexing both arrived in Liaodong. I'm afraid there will be a decisive battle before winter comes."
"Oh." The Lama nodded without commenting. He naturally hoped that Mongolia would defeat Chen Dexing, but seeing that Kublai Khan attached so much importance to Chen Dexing and did not hesitate to reconcile with Ali Bugeyan to concentrate his efforts against this person, he knew that Tachaer might find it difficult to win.
"I heard from people that Chen Dexing would fly to the sky and escape from the earth. He is a god. Is there any such thing?" The Lama asked again. Compared with the rise and fall of the country, the Lama is more concerned about religion. Chen Dexing and the Ming Cult have joined forces to create a Tiandaoism, which is clearly necessary to compete with the Lamaism! This principle is that peers are enemies, and it is also known in the religious world.
"What kind of god... pretending to be a god and making a ghost, and even creating a cult, it is obvious that he is self-destructive!" Yao Shu shook his head, his face full of righteous indignation.
Speaking of which, Chen Dexing is really a bit out of line! Chen Dexing claims to have come to the world and established the Taoist sect in Heaven, which is obviously to kick Confucianism aside. This approach is not to say that he is self-severing from the world, but at least he is a scholar who is self-severing from the whole world.
The lama smiled slightly and performed a Buddhist ritual: "I think so too, this Chen Dexing must be pretending to be a god."
The lama is also good at pretending to be a ghost. Although he doesn't understand how Chen Dexing's tricks changed, he is sure that Feitian and other things must be a trick.
"I have something to do, so I'll spend less time with you." Basiba Lama and Taoist priests have always been wrong, but they have no celebration with the Confucian scholars. He greeted him politely, and then turned around and left to do his own business.
"Khan, news from Liaodong..." After entering Kublai Khan's golden tent, Liu Bingzhong and Yao Shu immediately told Kublai Khan all the urgent reports from the Daluhuachi General Office of Liaodong.
"Chen Dexing..." Kublai Khan sat behind the desk with a big golden sword. He listened to the report and frowned slightly, "It's okay, wait until the matter of Bulechuan is over, we will find a way to deal with Chen Dexing and Li Yan, the two thieves!"
Liu Bingzhong and Yao Shu looked at each other, and Yao Shu said, "Khan, is there any reply from Brother Alibu?"
Kublai Khan nodded and said, "I have agreed. I will lead 500 people to join him soon. You... don't follow me, so as not to get in the way."
What's wrong? What does this mean?
Both advisers were stunned, and then thought of something at the same time, and their faces changed slightly.
Liu Bingzhong whispered: "Is there any surety for 500 people?"
"50 is enough!" Kublai Khan said lightly.
"But Brother Ali Bu has an army of 50,000." Yao Shu was a little worried.
Kublai Khan shook his head: "That is not Alibuge's army, it is the army of Central Ulus. He is loyal to the entire Golden Family, not Alibuge's individual... They will not be detrimental to me."
"The Khan must be careful..." Liu Bingzhong reminded. This is just a routine matter. Although Kublai Khan used him and Yao Shu as the leader, he was definitely not obeying the rules. Especially in Mongolian affairs, they had little say.
Yao Shu also said: "To be on guard, it is better to bring all the little thunder sent by Yanjing to you," said Yao Shu.
Kublai Khan nodded: "This has been arranged." He paused for a moment, "It's always winter to go back to Jinlianchuan from Bulachuan. If you want to return to the Central Plains, you may have to go back to the Central Plains next summer... At that time, Chen Dexing should stabilize Liaonan and Goryeo. As for Li Yan, he will probably be able to take over the land of Qingxu, Jiyan. How should we deal with it then?"
Liu Bingzhong said: "The Khan can be called emperor and practice Han laws."
