Zhang Jue looked outside the hall and commented like this.
After Yang Daji and Hao Tianyi were taken down, he felt much more relaxed, and it seemed that even the air was no longer as turbid as before.
Li Xia seemed to be still thinking about something, and said casually: "I am not a stranger, but you can guide him."
"Guide the way? When I was in my twenties, it was Yang Dayuan who taught me to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country."
"All right."
"what's on your mind?"
"I'm thinking about what Yang Daqi said... Kublai Khan will change the name of his country, and Xu Heng went to northern Shaanxi and gave Yang Wen'an a golden tiger talisman."
"Are you sure Yang Wen'an is commanding the troops on the other side?"
"Don't you understand? It was Kublai Khan who chose Yang Wen'an first, and then Yang Wen'an killed Yang Dayuan. It was not that after Yang Dayuan died, he decided who would be the commander."
"When you say this, it makes Yang Daji even more stupid. He still wants to fight after everyone has already decided."
What Zhang Jue cares about is the enemy's coaching change in northern Shaanxi.
Li Xia, on the other hand, cared more about other things and just nodded and said "hmm" to this topic.
Zhang Jue added: "My bet was right, it was indeed Yang Wen'an who did it."
"Huh? Aren't you betting on Yang Daji?"
"Did you forget? I changed the answer to Yang Wen'an."
"Is it still interesting to pledge three shares?"
"No matter how much I bet, I definitely won the bet."
"I didn't even mention the bet..."
It was originally a joke between friends, but at this point, Li Xia thought of something and hesitated.
I knocked on the armrest hard and considered: "He said that when Kublai Khan changed his country's name, he would definitely end his petty promotion and dismissal of titles. Are you envious?"
Zhang Jue stopped smiling, waved his hand, and said seriously: "You are taking the opportunity to ask for an official title from him."
"you know."
"It was just a joke. It's rare for him to come over. You were too happy and forgot about propriety."
Zhang Jue has never said that I am happy guarding the border.
All my happiness was only expressed in that overly cheerful joke.
Li Xia said: "You know, you are asking him if he thinks your generals also envy the princes who have been promoted or retired?"
"Of course I'm envious." Zhang Jue said frankly, "Hao Tianyi is just a young man. He holds the golden tiger talisman and is called the marshal of the capital. He has been a general, a lieutenant, and a prince in the past. It's no wonder that I serve Kublai Khan wholeheartedly."
"The battle in Guanzhong was difficult for you. The soldiers may be satisfied without military rewards, but how to reward the generals for their military merits is a difficult problem."
"Kublai Khan could make people a hereditary marshal, so he made him a hereditary marshal. He was still the king of Pingling County in the Xiao Song Dynasty. He only had the right to recommend people and had no right to appoint officials."
"Well, the disadvantage in that aspect is too small."
"But there are some things that he can do, and Kublai Khan can do it." Zhang Jue raised his hand and pointed to the north, and said: "You are the same as these people, and you are asking for the same thing."
"you know."
"He knows that in that year, envoys were sent from the north to surrender you seven times. If you had nodded and agreed, you would have lost what Qiang Luqing wanted. But you came to Yan'an Mansion to ask for a Mongolian
He is the prince. You have promised him long ago that you want to restore the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties."
Qiang Lu spoke clumsily, reciting the seven words "Xiongfeng of the Han and Tang Dynasties", as if she was savoring the wine specially, and said first: "One family and one surname occupy a big city, they are also called the general manager of the military and civilians, they are also called the princes, and they are just wealthy locals.
, There are many people who only have this pitiful and ridiculous rich man in his life. Is he worthy of being compared with the ambitions of thousands of daughters of your Han family?"
I'm still angry at Yang Dayuan's sarcasm just now.
Because Yang Dayuan is not even qualified to ridicule me.
Li Xia looked at Qiang Lu, smiled, and said, "Everyone thinks so."
"He can show us the way, right?"
"Too."
"In a world where barbarians are raging, you believe that there must be very, very few people in the world who are as uninterested in revitalizing it as you are."
Li Xia said to himself: "We need you to give us less confidence."
Zhang Jue said: "You just have to fight. As for how to give others confidence, he should think about it quickly."
"Yes, that's a political war. He's in charge of fighting, you're in charge of fighting political wars."
Li Xia agreed, thought for a moment, and then talked about more practical topics.
"Does he value Hao Tianyi?"
"Yes." Zhang Jue said: "Yes, Kublai Khan has no foresight in selecting generals. Qiang Luqing only inherited Yang Daqi's strategic talent, and is even more brave. How dare you pay attention to a young man with great energy?
Hao Tianyi?”
"You mean, he can value me." Li Xia said: "If you feel homesick, you can go back and visit during those few months. Make me feel that he values me."
Zhang Jue cheered up, thought for a while, and said: "I'm afraid this big guy will be fooled again."
"Be prepared for a rainy day. If he acts like a serious enemy for a year and a half, I will get used to it no matter how hard you trust me. Not yet, you didn't treat Yang Wen'an preferentially today. I may not be able to do it again..."
"You understand, but for the time being, Yang Wen'an is still left to win people's hearts."
"Well, it's slow."
"We are afraid that we will think that you will end the layout so early."
"As long as I can endure it, even if I build these fortresses into turtle shells, there will always be no chance of counterattack."
"..."
The candles were changed twice, and the two people in the hall talked about it first. Li Xia glanced at the sky and said, "The difference is too little."
Zhang Jue asked: "Are you leaving then?"
"When he attacked Semen Village at night, you received a letter of deferment and had to go back and deal with it."
"The Mongolian army counterattacked? Tongguan?"
Li Xia also kept it secret from Zhang Jue, and muttered: "Here in Chongqing...the imperial court's reinforcements have arrived."
"Reinforcements? Support Chongqing? At that time?"
"I am confronting you at Kuimen."
Zhang Jue's expression turned grim and he asked, "What does the imperial court mean?"
"It's a good idea. When Li Fen rebelled, the imperial court also took over Haizhou and Lianzhou. In the same way, when he wanted to take over Kuizhou and Wanzhou, he had to take care of whether he favored one or favored the other."
"Okay, is he really leaving now? Is he going to take a rest?"
"Yes, prepare a carriage. The same goes for taking a break on the road."
"It can knock his bones apart."
"Something's wrong."
Li Xia had already gotten up and went out, thinking that no matter how hard the journey was, it would only last a few days, but it would be harder than the soldiers guarding the border.
Qiang Lu went out of the city to see her off, her face now filled with the usual joking expression, and a little less windy.
The two talked all night, and they had something to say along the way.
Only when the city gate was opened, I saw a rising sun rising rapidly from the east.
“It’s such a beautiful little river.”
"You are capable, but small beautiful rivers and mountains are still reduced to dust."
"If the Huru were able to defeat you that time, sooner or later you could make the Northern Expedition."
Zhang Jue stopped and said: "I forgot to mention last night that outside of you, the Northern Expedition is useless compared to any low-ranking official."
"Okay, but you have to wait."
Those words are absolutely domineering.
We have no ambition, but we are still far from success, and we still have to be patient.
Li Xia raised his hand to stop Qiang Lu from sending her off again, and took a roundabout way to get off the carriage.
The bedding in the carriage was thick but there were no bumps. Li Xia rested his head on his head and thought about that trip to Yan'an.
The trip to Yan'an seemed to be a loss, but Li Xia came in person and was still able to win over Yang Daqi and his troops.
However, Kublai Khan only issued an order to change the name of the country, which actually stabilized the situation that had been unstable before the hasty withdrawal of troops.
In other places, Kublai Khan's popularity among the people was probably rising instead of falling.
Because I am about to establish the Yuan Dynasty.
Regarding whether the southern border should be followed or not, before the Jin Kingdom, there would be no unreasonable dynasty in the Central Plains.
That would actually have little impact or blow on Li Xia's power.
The remnants of the Jin Kingdom have always been an indispensable part of Li Xia's power. Han Chengxu and Yang Guo were my initial helpers, including the relatives and friends we recruited, as well as Lian Xixian, Zhang Hongdao, Liu Yuanzhen and others who can also be regarded as members of the Jin Kingdom.
remnants.
The Han people in the Central Plains have no understanding of the cruelty of the Mongolian army. Some people actually hate the cruelty of the Mongols more than the Song people, but they just have to surrender. We suffer less, and our hope for heavenly unification is lower than that of the Song people who enjoy peace.
.
But on the other hand, our ancestors lived in the Liao and Jin Dynasties, and their acceptance of sinicized foreign dynasties was very low.
We, like Zhang Jue, who were born in the Song Dynasty, can fight against the barbarians most resolutely.
Kublai Khan's change of national title not only stabilized the Han people in the Central Plains, but also gave Li Xia an opportunity to stir up people's hearts. It was also a counterattack against Li Xia's power, a political counterattack.
Originally, Li Xia wanted to dismantle the "Monan Mongolian regime", but instead it became a contest between the "Little Yuan Dynasty" and the "Song Dynasty ministers" to win the hearts and minds of the Central Plains.
Kublai Khan always needs to win. When both sides have the strength to send troops to retreat, as long as I maintain stability, I can pacify Ah Waishege in a year or two. When I look back, I can still suppress Li Xia with the power of the country.
Political stability is the foundation and prerequisite for all development. A turbulent regime can achieve anything.
Since it is a dispute between two countries, one can lose on the battlefield, and even more so in politics.
A response must be made, but the specific method of response is decided by the Yan'an Prefecture, so we must rush back to Chang'an as soon as possible.
The problem that caused Li Xia even more headaches was that Kublai Khan was about to establish Xiao Yuan, but the Song Dynasty took advantage of the situation to seize Kuimen.
The captives have just entered, but they are still watching with eager eyes; internal troubles have arisen again, and they are threatening.
It seems that they have all figured out that my little Song minister is easy to bully...
