After listening for a while, Zhao Xu finally understood. **《》》* Hassan meant that he would send more Han soldiers to the border between Mongolia and Song dynasty, or to Mongolia and Goryeo. While using them to build small farming towns, he would send them muskets to hunt. At that time, he would just give them anything else and just send them fur to his own hands. But this musket is another huge expense.

Although he felt a little painful, Zhao Xu thought that he had done everything in raising soldiers, training soldiers, and raising soldiers, and hiding soldiers to the people is not easy to be discovered by Prince Kublai Khan. Moreover, raising soldiers in this way is actually much easier than directly raising soldiers.

When you really start a war with the south, you only need to refuse the lack of troops, so you don’t have to go to the battlefield in person. Even if you are too anxious, you will be able to consume tens of thousands of people, which will not hurt you.

This is naturally a good plan to hide the truth. What makes Zhao Xu pleased is that this plan solves the things in his mind.

"Well, that's it. Military Advisor Hassan has a lot of smart tricks in your heart. At that time, you can even put some of the existing soldiers home. In this way, we don't have many troops under our command, and it's not easy to attract attention. A clever trick, a clever trick...!"

"That's true, Master Xu, after you guessed what's happening in front of you, you only pushed your subordinates to support them, and it must be said that it was the prince's big business that had to recruit such soldiers. I think after the matter in front of you, the prince's Khan would be busy, and we had already sent troops home. After the winter and spring came, it was just a good way to get the sergeant at home!"

Not to mention that Zhao Xu and Hassan were discussing quietly in the station wagon, Prince Kublai Khan looked at Zhao Xu's mighty and majestic musketeers from the glass on his face, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried. Although Zhao Xu helped him defeat his brother Borjijin and Alibu Ge, Zhao Xu made his own decision and got a few small nobles and the Han army of the general's tribe, which made Prince Kublai Khan somewhat uncomfortable.

In fact, what made him even more uncomfortable was that Zhao Xu would never be enemies with him again and directly sold them to the Arabs for the sake of Borjijin and Alibuge's family. Although Prince Kublai Khan could understand it, he was his relative after all. And this matter might be made a big fuss at the Huletai Conference.

"Oh, then something must be staged again, it's a pity..."

After the last time he attacked Borjijin and Alibuge's home territory, he deeply realized the power of musketeers, cavalry, infantry and artillery. Compared with Zhao Xu's army of 65,000 people, there was already an army of 120,000 at this moment. The prince Kublai Khan, who also gathered so many troops through the Mongolian nobles who supported him, was not very worried about Zhao Xu's plan.

It was just because of his brother Borjijin, Alibuge's affairs, and Zhao Xu's actions made him feel very uncomfortable. Although if he looked at this matter rationally, what Zhao Xu did was not a big problem. The only thing that was wrong was that Zhao Xu was expanding his power. This was not a good thing for Prince Kublai.

For this matter, he also complained that his daughter Yuelie was ignorant.

"Oh... Yuelie, Yuelie... Why are you so ignorant! Zhao Xu has the map and formula of firearms in his hand. Although we can make gunpowder ourselves, he still needs to make muskets and bronze cannons. Especially the long muskets from Zhao Fubo's hand, even Zhao Xu can't build such a long barrel... Unfortunately, ordinary people can be so powerful with muskets. I hope that the infantrymen of the Song Dynasty would not have so many muskets!"

Prince Kublai Khan stopped the horse he rode, a black-colored warrior like a black jade-covered fur, on the side of the road, as if he was tired of walking. He lifted his armor and lit his pipe. Now he found that he liked such things more and more. Not only did he liked them, but he had also reached the point where he could not leave them.

In fact, the tobacco he and other Mongolians smoked were mixed with a small amount of opium. Although the content was quite small, it would allow all Mongolians to gradually develop a great addiction to tobacco. Moreover, this is not a addiction to tobacco. When the "Chinese Army" came to deal with the Mongolians, as long as the tobacco was cut off for a week, it would probably be that some Mongolian soldiers who were addicted to tobacco would no longer have any combat capabilities.

All of these are in Hassan's clever operation. Through his business system, they will not be sold to more and more Han people under Zhao Xu, nor will they be sold to the Mongolian Han people. Those special tobacco will be delivered directly to the Mongolian officials and their nobles through Hassan's extensive gifts.

"It is absolutely impossible to raise a tiger!"

When Zhao Xu's carriage passed by Prince Kublai Khan and stayed in the horse team on the side of the road, Hassan, who was sitting opposite Zhao Xu, saw Prince Kublai Khan, who was smoking a pipe there. He pretended not to see anything and continued to talk to Zhao Xu. At his prompt, Zhao Xu even pretended not to know that Prince Kublai Khan was staring at him by the road.

These things made Prince Kublai Khan's unhappiness widen. He saw everything through the window of Zhao Xu's station wagon. Especially Hassan looked at him, but Zhao Xu pretended not to know. Obviously they were discussing something that was not good for him.

"If Zhao Xu indulges him, I'm afraid I'll be raising a tiger to become a disaster. It's better to try to reduce his wings!"

In just a moment, Prince Kublai Khan had made a decision. It was precisely because of this decision that a solemn and cruel look appeared on his face.

It’s a pity that he didn’t know that his expression did not escape the gaze of He Qi who was advancing with the cavalry. Although he didn’t see it directly, He Qi’s subordinates followed his instructions and kept watching Prince Kublai’s reaction. Anyway, in the chilly wind in early winter, everyone’s faces were put down except for those who had smoked.

"Hmph, Prince Kublai Khan is already worried that Zhao Xu will raise a tiger and become a disaster. OK. It seems that our opera is singing well! We have to tell Hassan about this, it seems that we are going to have a fight again!"

He Qi was quite satisfied with this result. If he could really complete the tasks within the Mongol Empire according to the arrangements of the Secretariat of the "Huaxia Empire" and complete the tasks within the Mongol Empire, then it would be worth it to endure the hardships he had in the past few years!

Look, the cooperation between Zhao Xu and Prince Kublai Khan is like this, and continues with mutual ulterior motives. But no matter what, Hallehelin is not far away.
