After Qi occupied the Central Plains, the situation in the world changed qualitatively.

After Mongolia's death from illness, internal problems caused their forces to be too spread out and they shifted from offense to all-out defense.

Facing the rise of Qi, the Southern Song Dynasty lacked a courageous and responsible monarch. As a result, the Southern Song Dynasty was unable to exert its strength and did not dare to participate in the war in the north.

After the Qi army occupied the Central Plains, Zhao Tai immediately issued an order to equalize land and called on the people of Qi to go to Henan to open up wasteland.

The population of Qi State in Hebei and Shandong is not large, and the contradiction between man and land is not acute.

Therefore, this land equalization order did not attract many people in Hebei and Shandong, but it aroused a strong response in Huainan.

Huainan area has a large population and the contradiction between man and land is quite acute.

After Zhao Tai occupied Huainan, considering various reasons, he did not touch the interests of the Huainan gentry.

Therefore, many of the people of Qi State in Huainan lived a relatively miserable life.

Nowadays, land equalization orders are everywhere. People in Huainan can get land when they go to Henan. The government also lends them cattle and seeds. Many tenant farmers in Huainan drag their families to Henan to open up wasteland.

A large number of people migrated to Henan, causing the supply of tenant farmers to suddenly become in short supply.

In order to retain some tenants, the gentry landlords in Huainan took the initiative to lower land rents without the need for reforms ordered by the State of Qi.

This made Huainan, where the contradictions were originally quite prominent, actually eased all kinds of contradictions.

Qi's land equalization order not only attracted the people of Qi in Huainan, but also affected the Song Dynasty.

After the people of Jinghu learned that they could obtain land in Henan, many people began to find ways to escape into the territory of Qi.

Since the Jingkang Incident, northerners could not stand the brutal rule of the northern barbarians, and people continued to flee south to the Song Dynasty.

Now the situation is reversed. According to statistics from the Southern Song Dynasty, one hundred thousand people from Jinghu fled into the territory of Qi just before the autumn harvest.

The people in Mongolia were also attracted by Qi's policies, but it was not that easy for them to escape.

Now the border between Mongolia and Qi is either surrounded by mountains or rivers, making it difficult for people to escape into the territory of Qi.

Soon, the time has entered autumn, and Qi State has another good harvest in Hebei, Shandong, and Huainan.

The Mongolians and Southern Song Dynasty workers in Qi State began to panic after finding out that Qi State had a good harvest.

At this time, on the Mongolian grassland, in the camp of the Mongolian Khan, Guiyu was drinking and having fun.

Yelu Chucai and Yang Weizhong walked in. Their faces turned dark when they looked at the situation in the tent.

Guyou saw the two of them and said with a smile: "The two prime ministers have arrived just in time. Come and have a drink with me."

Yelu Chucai said in a deep voice: "Great Khan, Mongolia has been torn apart and is about to decline. You are still in the mood to drink."

When Guiyou heard this, his face looked a little ugly, but he was not angry.

With his cheeks pumping and suppressing his anger, he waved his hand and said to the dancing maiko: "You all, stand down."

After the maiko left the tent, Guyou asked: "The two prime ministers came to see me today, but what's the big deal?"

Yang Weizhong said: "Great Khan, according to the report of our spies in Qi State, Qi State has a good harvest this year. I am worried that Zhao Tai will launch another attack this winter when he has enough money and food."

Guyu frowned, "Zhao Tai just occupied the Central Plains a few months ago, and just a few months ago, he launched another attack."

Yelu Chucai said: "Great Khan, Zhao Tai captured the Central Plains, and Qi did not pay much price at all. I thought that after the autumn harvest, Zhao Tai was fully capable of launching another war."

Seeing that the two prime ministers thought so, Guyou sat upright and asked, "Do the two prime ministers mean to remind Ben Khan to defend?"

Yelu Chucai said: "Great Khan, after Qi occupied the Central Plains, it has taken the initiative strategically. Zhao Tai's next step is either to capture Hedong or to capture Guanzhong. Of these two places, our Mongolia will lose one more, and the other will definitely

We can’t hold on, so we have to completely withdraw from Han Dynasty.”...

Guyuk's expression became serious, "Where did those two people think Zhao Tai would attack, Ben Khan immediately asked Meng Ge and Batu to defend."

Yelu Chucai said: "I thought that Zhao Tai would probably capture Hedong."

Yang Weizhong also said: "I think so too. If Zhao Tai wants to capture Guanzhong, Qi will have to expand its army by at least five to one hundred thousand. I have not received news about Zhao Tai's army expansion for the time being, so he probably wants to capture Hedong. If so,

Zhao Tai now owns the place where Gao Qi once lived."

Guyuk said: "Now that I know about it, I will send an order to Brother Meng and ask him to defend the east of Hedong."

Yelu Chucai frowned and said, "Great Khan, after Xianhan died of illness, our Mongolia was divided into internal divisions. Many kings were dissatisfied with the great king. If this continues, our Mongolia will inevitably be divided. If Zhao Tai attacks Hedong this time, I will

I thought it was an opportunity for the Great Khan."

Guyu said in a deep voice: "What opportunity?"

Yelu Chucai said: "The Great Khan has the opportunity to establish his prestige and gain recognition from the kings."

Guyu reacted, "You want Ben Khan to guard Hedong."

Yelu Chucai nodded, "Yes, the Great Khan just took this opportunity to command the Mongolian tribes and fight against Zhao Tai. There is no need to defeat Zhao Tai in this battle. As long as the Qi army can be repelled, the Great Khan can establish his military prestige."

After Ogedai's death, Guyuk succeeded the Khan, but many Mongolian nobles actually looked down upon him.

This made Guyu very angry, but he had no choice.

Because he does not have enough prestige to overwhelm many nobles.

Throughout the ages, new kings have succeeded to the throne and their status has been unstable.

If the new king wants to stabilize his position, there are not many methods he can use.

The new king can choose to be patient and slowly develop his own strength. When he is strong, he can then eliminate those who are dissatisfied and establish his own authority.

However, this road is relatively slow and contains many hidden dangers. It is suitable for monarchs in countries where the external environment is relatively stable and there are no strong enemies.

Otherwise, before the monarch's power here has been cultivated, the enemy troops have already entered the country, and the country and the monarch will basically be finished.

Another situation is that after the new king takes the throne, he launches a victorious war or resists a foreign invasion.

In this way, the new king can establish prestige in the army and his position will naturally be stable.

This is like Li Cunxu, who defeated the Liang army when he first took the throne.

Of course, if you don't win, it's not an opportunity, but a disaster.

Guyu understood the meaning of the two people, which made him a little moved, but when he thought about Batu and Meng Ge's attitude towards him, Guyu felt unsure, "Will Batu and Meng Ge listen to this Khan's command?"

Yang Weizhong said: "Great Khan. If Zhao Tai were to attack Hedong, and the Great Khan led his troops to rescue Hedong, what could Meng Ge say? Batu lost the Central Plains this time, what confidence did he have to oppose the Great Khan? I thought that if Zhao Tai attacked Hedong, what would happen to him?
