Yuan army camp in Yanjiao.
Tent after tent stretched out endlessly, and as more and more Mongolian cavalry arrived at the order of the Great Khan, the place seemed to be back to the time when the Great Mongolia was at its peak.
The atmosphere was like the celebration banquet before Tuo Lei wiped out the Jin Kingdom and was preparing to return to the army. Kublai Khan also looked like Tuo Lei, and the majesty and murderous aura shown in his movements were very easy to obey.
Na Muhan didn't have this kind of murderous aura, and his facial features were more of the deliberate ferocity of a young man. In fact, his skin was too delicate, and he had more nobility than murderous aura.
"Father, my son has something to say."
At the end of the banquet, all the kings were drunk. Namu Han was not worried and drank little wine, so he finally got a chance to talk.
Kublai Khan was not drunk, and his narrow eyes were still bright. He glanced at his son lightly and nodded.
"My son is willing to lead a large army to fight for his father Khan and cut off the enemy's heads and bring them back." Namuhan said: "Father Khan, please rest assured that those cowardly Han armies will soon tremble under the iron cavalry of the Great Mongolia.
When it comes to fighting, the warriors on the grasslands have never been afraid of anyone. The reason why the enemy was able to attack Baozhou was because too many Han people surrendered!"
Zongwang Yixiang, Zhudu and others all turned their heads to look, as if they were drunk but not drunk. But tonight in this tent, there are all clan members of the Golden Family, and there are no Han ministers. This may show that Kublai Khan is now
He no longer trusts Han Chen as much as before.
Namuhan was more confident and continued: "Father Khan has always been too tolerant to these Han people. Dong Wenyong had surrendered many years ago. Father Khan was generous and tolerated his relatives. As a result, Dong Wenzhong of Luoyang
The father and son presented the city and surrendered. Prime Minister Boyan had no choice but to retreat if he wanted to hold on. Shi Tianze had rebelled early on. His father Khan gave him opportunities again and again, but the Shi family did not appreciate his father's kindness and gave up Zhending Mansion.
.What’s even more hateful is that the Zhang family even openly married Li Xia!”
Kublai Khan said: "Are you saying that I, the Great Khan, did something wrong?"
"That's not what my son means." Namuhan said, "My son means that the Han people are too cunning and shameless. They are white-eyed wolves who have not been raised well."
"Say your opinion, my son."
It is a custom in Mongolia that the leaders discuss everything together. Although Kublai Khan became emperor, he still retained some of this tradition. He would still listen to the opinions of his family when encountering major issues.
Namuhan said solemnly, "Father Khan, we should kill those Han officials." "Which ones?"
"all."
Kublai Khan's narrow eyes narrowed, and a displeased light burst out.
Namuhan said: "My son believes that all Han officials are unreliable and should all be killed, including the veterans of the Jinlianchuan shogunate."
"Do you know how this Khan passed through Monan, defeated Brother Alibu, and ascended to the throne of Khan?"
"But now that Li Xia has gained such momentum, sooner or later the Han ministers' hearts will turn towards Li Xia." Namuhan said: "Why can our great Mongolian country have such a vast territory? In the past, our army only needed to encounter Li Xia.
If we resist, we will kill the entire city. Only the scimitar that keeps cutting can make people crawl with fear at our feet. And my kind father Khan has not killed anyone for too long. The Han people in the Central Plains have forgotten
You are afraid of us. Father Khan, kill those ministers! Otherwise they will definitely betray you!"
Kublai Khan glanced at the tent, glanced at Brother Yixiang, Zhadu and the others.
He knew very well that if Namuhan could say such a thing, there must be someone behind him.
Fortunately, his prestige was still there, and after the kings took one look at him, they quickly said Namuhan.
"How can you talk to the Great Khan like this?!"
"Na Muhan, no matter how reasonable you are, you can't contradict Dahan..."
Namuhan quickly apologized to Kublai Khan and said, "My son is anxious because he is too worried about his father and is afraid that his father will be betrayed by the Han people."
Kublai Khan asked: "Have you ever thought that killing one Han minister at this time will only drive all Han ministers to rebel?"
"The father Khan can summon all the Han ministers to discuss matters, and the son can lead his army to kill them all directly.
"
Following these words, the tent was quiet for a while.
Kublai Khan looked away from his son's face and looked at the bonfire burning in the middle. In the light of the fire, he seemed to be able to see the scene of him slaughtering all the Han officials. It was not difficult to do this, but what it meant was
Completely abandon the Chinese method.
"Do you want me to completely lose the hearts of the Central Plains?" Kublai Khan pointed at Na Muhan and said in an increasingly stern tone: "Then don't hold on to Zhongshu Province at all, and completely abandon the territory that your grandfather worked so hard to conquer.
, Hide back to the grassland."
"We can't compete with Li Xia for the hearts and minds of the Han people. Father, don't be deceived by those Han people. They say that those who win the hearts of the people win the world are all lies. Just lead the cavalry to kill the enemy and defeat the enemy. It's very simple.
Something."
"Arrogant."
"My son is willing to make a bet with his father. As long as he leads 50,000 cavalry south, he can defeat Li Xia. I hope that my father will be able to trust the warriors of the Mongolian Kingdom and stop being deceived by the Han people..."
"That's enough!" Kublai Khan became furious and shouted: "Don't think that I don't know what selfish motives you are hiding!"
"Illegitimate son? I don't have a son..."
"The Great Khan." Brother Yixiang stood up quickly and said, "I believe that Namuhan must have no selfish motives. He told the Great Khan this because many warriors are already dissatisfied with the Han officials. It is understandable that there are such
Many Han people presented the city and surrendered, and everyone was resentful."
Kublai Khan was halfway through his anger, but he calmed down when he met Brother Shixiang to talk to him.
He picked up the wine glass and drank, and said slowly: "The Khan is like his parents. This is my son, and that is my daughter. That son has a grudge against his daughter and wants me, the father, to kill him."
Daughter, doesn’t this make it difficult for me?”
"The Mongols are the people of the Great Khan, but the Han people are not."
"The truth is the same. Li Xia is a foreign enemy and is pressing harder, but you are fighting each other. Shouldn't we forget this? Unity is the great tradition left by Genghis Khan."
Brother Shixiang lowered his head, thought for a moment, and gave a sincere suggestion.
"The Great Khan is wise. We are facing a formidable enemy. We should unite. However, the warriors are all dissatisfied. The Great Khan still needs to appease everyone's emotions. At least, the Zhang family should be killed."
"Yes!" Namuhan said: "Kill the Zhang family so that the Han people will understand the consequences of betraying Father Khan and surrendering to Li Xia. If Father Khan is soft-hearted, more and more people will surrender."
Kublai Khan nodded thoughtfully.~~
It was night, when Kublai Khan returned to the sweat tent, Chabi had already asked someone to make milk tea and was waiting for him.
"It's getting late, so I won't let Namuhan come see you again tomorrow." "This child." Chabi smiled lovingly and said nothing more.
Kublai Khan drank the milk tea and asked: "Do you prefer the life in the Central Plains or in Harah and Lin?"
"They all like it." Chabi asked, "Where's Dahan?" "Like you, I all like it."
The couple sat like this for a while, and someone outside the tent said: "The Great Khan, Liu Bingzhong, Zhao Liangbi, and Hao Jing would like to see you."
"not see."
"Great Khan, tonight is the New Year's Eve of the Khan people. If we don't see them, many people will be disappointed. Why don't we meet them?"
"These scholars are cunning and want to deceive this Khan." "The Khan is wise and will not fall into their trap."
Kublai Khan then said to Qie Xue: "Let them come in."
Soon, the three people covered in wind and snow entered the tent, but they never mentioned anything about the New Year, and they looked very frightened.
After seeing the ceremony, Liu Bingzhong said, "I am interrupting your majesty's rest because Li Xia's envoy suddenly offered to exchange prisoners with Dayuan tonight."
Upon hearing this, Kublai Khan first looked at Hao Jing.
Since Hao Jing returned from his mission to Li Xia's camp, the two sides have sent envoys to each other to negotiate peace.
But Dayuan wanted to buy time, and Li Xia wanted to wait for news from the south. Their sincerity was not high, and there has been no substantial progress.
Today Namuhan and Brother Yixiang led the army to Yanjiao, and Li Xia's envoy suddenly made a condition.
"Who told him that Ben Khan's army has arrived?" "Your Majesty, I am your minister." Hao Jing responded.
Kublai Khan had always suspected that Hao Jing had secretly defected to Li Xia, but there was no evidence. When he heard these words, he felt murderous intention in his heart.
Hao Jing said again: "Since we are negotiating, we must constantly put pressure on the other party. We, the Yuan Dynasty, have strong soldiers and horses, so we want to let the enemy envoy know. He soon gave in."
Liu Bingzhong answered: "Your Majesty, Li Xia has expressed his willingness to release a group of clan members captured in Helan Mountain in exchange for the Zhang family. This is the list."
A list of names was handed over.
There are many names written above, all of whom were very familiar to Kublai Khan.
Including the clan king Hu Ci Hu'er, Qie Xue Chang'an Tong, four queens accompanying the army, as well as many clan kings, nobles and their families.
Kublai Khan breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought for a moment that he didn't need to take back so many useless clan members. For example, what was the use of redeeming Hu Lahu'er?
The next moment, he knew that it was useful to calm people's hearts and help Dayuan get out of the shadow of the defeat of Helan Mountain as soon as possible.
"What does Li Xia want the Zhang family to do?"
Liu Bingzhong said: "In order to win people's hearts, Zhang Hongdao and others surrendered to Li Xia and gave Baozhou City. After that, if the Great Khan killed the Zhang family, then the world would understand that surrendering to Li Xia would not end well.
If someone wants to surrender in the future, they will have to think about it."
Zhao Liangbi added: "Li Xia is expressing his stance towards the princes of Yanjing, Shandong, Shanxi and other places."
"In this case, I should kill the entire Zhang family."
"There is an idiom called 'kill chickens to scare monkeys'." Liu Bingzhong explained the meaning of the idiom in Mongolian, saying: "I also think that your majesty should kill chickens to scare monkeys, but Zhang Rou is different. There were too many officials in the Yuan Dynasty. It was Zhang Rou who
Kaifeng protects those who go north all the way. If your majesty kills him all over the house, he will easily lose the hearts of the people. This matter was originally quite a dilemma, but now that Li Xia is willing to exchange prisoners, why not..."
"Has Ben Khan's Secretary Cong become Li Xia's lobbyist?"
"I don't dare." Liu Bingzhong responded immediately: "I just explained my interests to Your Majesty and I will listen to His Majesty's decision."
"what about you?"
"I will listen to your Majesty's decision." Hao Jing also seemed afraid to make suggestions.
Zhao Liangbi was the most magnanimous person. He wanted to persuade me, but when he saw this situation, he did not dare to speak. He simply responded: "Please judge with your Majesty's Sacred Heart."
Kublai Khan suddenly felt angry.
If these Han ministers wanted to make any suggestions, he always felt that they were playing a conspiracy. Tonight, they all hid their opinions, but he felt that they were expressing dissatisfaction.
