Chapter 1261 The hurricane passes over the post, and the grass remains
On the evening of September 10, the Maurya King Dilava took the initiative to contact the two giants in the Indian region of Gupta King Akba, who were also mortal enemies, and rarely started a secret dialogue.
"Ashoka is in the Tubo and Daxia fire, what do you think?" Dilava asked.
"Let's watch the show, what else can I do?"
"You don't want to do anything?"
Abak pretended not to understand and smiled, "I'm very lazy and don't want to move."
"It's weird if you believe it!" The Peacock King complained in his heart. He knew that he would not take the initiative to unveil the plaque, and the other party would not accept it. "I said, let's not go around the corner, just say it. This is an excellent opportunity to attack the Ashoka Dynasty, or even the only opportunity. You won't be really indifferent, right?"
"What do you want?" Abak sat firmly on the Diaoyutai.
The Peacock King didn't mind anymore, "Simple, when they fight to the point where both sides suffer, you and I will join forces to send troops together to defeat the Ashoka Dynasty and divide the world equally."
Abak nodded.
Both of them knew that even if the Ashoka Dynasty was frustrated on the Tubo battlefield, the lean camel was bigger than the horse, and it was not something that the two dynasties could compete alone.
Joining forces is an inevitable choice.
"How to join forces?" Abak asked.
"It's very simple. We agreed on a boundary in advance, and everyone used this as the boundary to divide the north and south without interfering. How about it?" Although we joined forces, the trust between the two companies is limited, so it is necessary to divide the cake in advance.
"This is good, I agree." Abak was very pleased and asked the last question, "Then, how should we divide the royal city Delhi? It's not half of each person."
This is sensitive.
In terms of importance, Delhi's value accounts for more than a quarter of the entire Ashoka dynasty.
The Peacock King said, "Whoever captures first will be his own."
"Okay, that's it!"
The two giants hang up the communication and secretly divided the Ashoka dynasty. As for the specific boundary line and cooperation details, there are naturally ministers below to be responsible for negotiation.
All they have to do is prepare for war in advance.
The two of them didn't talk about morality or justice at all. In the wilderness, they were successful and defeated, and invading Tubo was King Ashoka's choice.
If you choose, you will naturally have to bear the cost.
As for joining forces to attack Daxia, don’t be funny. Daxia is so powerful that it makes people feel cold. If Daxia doesn’t attack them, they will burn high incense. How can they have the courage to take the initiative to attack?
…………
On September 12, Zhang Yi and his party arrived in Hara Helin.
During the Mongolian expedition to the west, Daxia did not take the opportunity to make trouble. Genghis Khan must bear this feeling.
Therefore, when Zhang Yi and his party first appeared on the grassland, Genghis Khan sent general Zhebe to lead 10,000 personal guards to guard along the way, giving Zhang Yi and his party extremely high treatment.
When they arrived in Hara and Lin, the envoys were also warmly entertained. The Mongolian Empire Prime Minister Yelu Chucai represented Genghis Khan and rushed to the city gate to greet him, giving him enough face.
Yelu Chucai was born into a Khitan noble. He was in the Jin Kingdom in his early years and served as the Minister of the Left and Right Office.
When the Mongolian army captured Zhongdu of Jin, Genghis Khan accepted Yelu Chucai as his minister. Yelu Chucai proposed and formulated various governance strategies based on the Confucian way of governing the country, laying the foundation for the development of the Mongol Empire.
Yelu Chucai assisted Genghis Khan and his son for more than 30 years and served as the Secretary-General for 14 years. He had a profound impact on Genghis Khan and his descendants, and the various measures he took laid the foundation for the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty.
Such talent and contribution also allowed Yelu Chucai to be among the top ten famous prime ministers in China, and was listed with Li Si, Xiao He, Fang Xuanling, Di Renjie, Zeng Guofan and other famous officials.
Zhang Yi was not vague. After checking in the embassy, he immediately presented boxes of gifts, which were all specialties of the Central Plains, such as Jingdezhen porcelain, Jiangnan silk, tea, wine, etc., all of which were the best.
When Genghis Khan saw this, his face looked good, but after Zhang Yi presented the letter of the country, Genghis Khan's face suddenly became dark. He was obviously not prepared when facing the impolite words in the letter of the country.
"Are the requests made by your country too much?" Genghis Khan asked, lacking confidence.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yi replied simply and neatly: "Our dynasty is the orthodox Chinese, and the world is the ruler. Your country temporarily opens the road to our dynasty. This is the obligation to fulfill. How can we say it excessively?"
"The world is the master? I don't admit it."
Zhang Yi smiled and said, "This is exactly what my Majesty wants to ask. Can Khan admit it now?"
The air solidifies in an instant.
Genghis Khan's eyes flashed, "What if I say no?"
"It's very simple. In order to maintain the status of the common rule of the world, we can only decide the winner on the battlefield." Zhang Yi was not vague. In the past, Daxia might not have the confidence, but now he is talking about it with great strength.
Genghis Khan was angry, but he didn't dare to be really cruel.
"So, the envoy is here this time, and the letter of war has come." Genghis Khan said in a cold tone.
Zhang Yi smiled again, "Whether it is a letter of war, it depends entirely on Khan's decision. If possible, our dynasty would not want to fight with your country, so it would be best to resolve the problem through negotiation."
"How to talk?"
"That depends on whether Khan has a sincere conversation." Zhang Yi was sure in his heart.
Genghis Khan has calmed down. In fact, Ouyang Shuo was thinking about how to deal with the Mongolian Empire. As a generation of heroes, Genghis Khan never thought of similar problems.
Looking at the Central Plains War, Qin Emperor and Han Wu, Tang Emperor and Song Wu, one committed suicide, one was assassinated, one retired, and the other was usurped the throne and placed under house arrest. The ending was extremely miserable.
Although Genghis Khan was conceited, he would not think that he would be better than these four emperors. Daxia could even take ruthless measures against them, and there was no reason to say that he would be merciful and let him go.
If you want to have a good end, sometimes you have to give in. To be tough, it will be of no benefit to yourself and your tribe members.
But even if you have to surrender, Genghis Khan still needs a step, otherwise it would be too shameful. Zhang Yi came here, one was to test, and the other was to send Genghis Khan a step.
"This matter is of great importance, let me think about it."
Genghis Khan was very tactful and did not over-control it.
Zhang Yi nodded and stood up to say goodbye.
…………
When Zhang Yi left, Genghis Khan sighed, "What should be come, we always come."
Yelu Chucai on the side heard this and advised him: "Khan, no one can stop the power of Daxia to unify China. In order to expel the Ashoka Dynasty, they did not hesitate to build two million troops, which shows how firm the determination was."
"I know this, but I'm not willing to give up." Genghis Khan sighed.
"The hurricane passes through the hills, and the grass remains." Yelu Chucai comforted him, "This wilderness is still the world of strange people after all. This is the destiny and no one can reverse it. Instead of breaking the death of the fish, it is better to negotiate with Daxia and achieve a smooth handover on a condition that both sides can accept."
Genghis Khan asked: "The Prime Minister thinks, what conditions should be put forward?"
"The best result is of course to recognize Daxia as the sect leader. But the Wei ministers are worried that Daxia may not be satisfied with this, and Khan must be mentally prepared." Yelu Chucai said.
Genghis Khan shook his head, "What mental preparation? It's just abdication."
Yelu Chucai was silent for a long time before he said carefully: "With Khan's prestige in Mongolia, it is probably difficult for Emperor Xia to feel at ease. The best way is to choose one among the princes to pass on the throne."
"This is also the usual practice of those Central Plains emperors." Yelu Chucai added.
Genghis Khan asked: "The Prime Minister thinks, which prince can take on this important task?"
This made Yelu Chucai a little embarrassed, and said, "I dare not speak nonsense about this Khan's family matter."
Yelu Chucai said nothing, but Genghis Khan said to himself, "One of the philosophers can inherit the position of Khan, only Ogedei and Tolei, one is Wen and one is Wu. No matter who succeeds the throne, it may cause disagreement among their brothers. I am afraid that Daxia is happy to see this. Since this is the case, let's leave it to Daxia to decide."
Yelu Chucai was stunned and asked, "Khan agreed and negotiated with Daxia?"
Genghis Khan nodded, "Let's talk, there is no other way. The Prime Minister will be responsible for the specific negotiations, hoping to reach a good result."
"Don't worry, Khan, I will do my best." Yelu Chucai clasped his fists.
When Genghis Khan heard this, he had no excitement, but waved his hand tiredly. This powerful old man was exhausted in front of a powerful enemy and lost his fighting spirit.
A goshawk can soar in the blue sky, but cannot compete with the blue sky.
Genghis Khan is the eagle on the grassland, and Daxia is the sky. It is covered by the head of the Mongolian Empire and is an existence that cannot be fought against. What should I fight?
Now, Genghis Khan began to understand a little about the state of mind when Qin Shihuang committed suicide.
"I'm going to leave!"
