Chapter 1681: The Third Yuan Emperor Kublai Khan (Part 1)
Jia Xu was even more afraid of Kublai Khan than Liu Bei, but even so, he still agreed to let Kublai Khan return to his country, naturally after careful consideration.
Even if Kublai Khan is not allowed to return to China, civil strife will inevitably break out sooner or later due to the conflict between the Yuan, Meng, Eagle and Dove factions. But if this is the case, the final winner will definitely be Maodun.
Although the dove faction of Yuan Meng is stronger than the hawk faction, it has no backbone and is not united enough. However, Mao Dun is the recognized leader of the hawk faction and can unite all the forces of the hawk faction.
Although Murong Ke controls half of the military power of Yuanmeng, he is not the Yuanmeng royal family after all. If he breaks with Maodun rashly without the support of Kublai Khan and the control of justice, his troops may not all listen to him.
of.
Kublai Khan was like a heart to the doves headed by Murong Ke. With Kublai Khan, this group of people had a backbone. Without Kublai Khan, those without a heart would surely die.
Therefore, if Kublai Khan is not allowed to return to his country, Mao Dun will definitely be the third Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, and Mao Dun’s cavalry commanding ability is not inferior to Temujin. If he becomes the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, the Northern Territory of Qin will never have peace in the future.
day.
In comparison, although the threat of Kublai Khan was higher than that of Mao Dun, his aggressiveness was not as strong as that of Mao Dun in the United States and Europe.
If Kublai Khan is allowed to go back, he will have distant worries but no near-term worries. However, what the Qin army is most afraid of right now is near-term worries.
There are many immediate worries before the Qin Army. If accumulated, the quantity may turn into a qualitative change and turn into a catastrophe. However, only by overcoming the immediate worries, the future of the Qin Army will be bright.
After weighing the pros and cons, Kublai Khan becoming emperor of the Yuan Dynasty would be more beneficial to the Qin army, so Jia Xu and Zhang Liangcai agreed to let Kublai Khan return to his country.
Kublai Khan, on his side, ran away from Jia Xu as if running for his life. Every second he stayed in front of Jia Xu, his heart became uneasy for a second, and he naturally wanted to get rid of Jia Xu urgently.
Although most of the Yuanmeng assassins who assassinated Kublai Khan in Luoyang have been killed, there is no guarantee that Mao Dun did not hire other assassins to continue to assassinate Kublai Khan.
Therefore, Jia Xu also arranged a top-level guard lineup this time. In addition to the two masters Xuanjian and Zhanri, there are also 300 elite soldiers to ensure that Kublai Khan is safely sent out of the Han Dynasty. If he wants to die, he will not die in the Qin army.
on the territory.
After Kublai Khan and his party left Luoyang, they had not walked a few miles when they found that the road ahead was blocked by a group of carriages and horses.
At first Kublai Khan thought it was an assassin, but later he found out that it was his aunt Zhao Min, who came to see him off with his little cousin Qin Han, so he immediately stopped his horse and walked over.
"Royal Aunt."
Kublai Khan saluted respectfully. He could live so comfortably in Luoyang because of his great contribution to this aunt, so he was extremely grateful to Zhao Min.
Zhao Min was about to say something, but Xiao Qin Han in her arms seemed to sense something. He suddenly grabbed the clothes he was wearing and burst into tears. While crying, he shouted: "Brother, brother..."
Seeing this, Kublai Khan helped Zhao Min coax the child, and at the same time looked at Qin Han with a complex yet tender look in his eyes.
After Tuo Lei's death, Kublai Khan only had four blood relatives left in the world: Mao Dun, Wokuotai, Zhao Min, and Qin Han.
Mao Dun also wanted to kill Kublai Khan and seize the throne. The relationship between Ogedai and Kublai Khan was also very indifferent. Only the imperial aunt Zhao Min really cared about him, but she and her cousin Qin Han were both members of the empire.
.
"Cousin, cousin, when you grow up, if Yuan Meng is still around, you might be more suitable to be Emperor Yuan Meng than my cousin, right?" Kublai Khan said in a coaxing tone.
As soon as he said this, Qin Han stopped crying immediately. Instead, he grabbed Kublai Khan's clothes and burst into laughter.
Zhao Min didn't understand why Kublai Khan said such a roar, and his eyes were filled with surprise, and then quickly disappeared, looking at Kublai Khan solemnly, and said: "Kublai Khan, be careful, my aunt believes
You will definitely become as good an emperor as any other than my elder brother."
"Yes." Kublai Khan nodded heavily, his eyes full of determination and determination.
Kublai Khan was eager to return home, and after bidding farewell to Zhao Min and his son, he naturally did not waste any time.
The group traveled day and night, continuously traveling through Hedong, passing Sizhou, arriving in Bingzhou, and entering Taiyuan, finally arriving at Yanmen Pass half a month later.
Looking at this majestic and steep pass, Kublai Khan knew that there were hundreds of thousands of Huns, and their bones were buried under this pass.
After Xuanjian and Zhanri saluted Kublai Khan together, Xuanjian broke it off lightly: "Your Highness, after passing Yanmen Pass, you can reach Dragon City by going north for 1,600 miles."
"You can only walk the next road on your own." Zhan Ri said in a deep voice.
"I'll say goodbye soon."
Xuanjian and Zhanri said in unison that their escort mission had been completed, and now they could only rely on Kublai Khan and himself.
"Thank you two gentlemen for sending me thousands of miles away. Kublai Khan is deeply grateful."
After bowing respectfully, Kublai Khan took Murong Hua and dozens of guards and fled directly into the grassland and headed north.
Kublai Khan, who was under the protection of the Qin army, did not encounter a single assassination incident during the thousands of miles of journey before arriving at the grassland.
The irony is that when Kublai Khan entered the grassland, he was attacked and killed one after another. But you must know that Kublai Khan was the successor of Emperor Yuan.
"Your Highness, we are out of pursuit." Murong Hua said breathlessly.
"puff……"
Kublai Khan spat out a mouthful of blood, but his face became more solemn than ever before.
The attack just now had a big impact on his team. He himself was seriously injured and all water and food were lost. Now there are less than ten people left in the team. If there is another attack, he will
I'm afraid I won't be able to return to Dragon City.
"Damn it, why doesn't Murong Ke come to respond?"
Kublai Khan gritted his teeth, feeling extremely dissatisfied.
Kublai Khan thought that as soon as he returned to the grassland, Murong Ke would send an army to meet him, but he did not expect that he had traveled six to seven hundred miles, and there was no army to meet him at all. What greeted him was only wave after wave of attacks.
kill.
What Kublai Khan didn't know was that Murong Ke also wanted to come to meet him, but was held back by Mao Dun, making it impossible to mobilize a large army. This gave Mao Dun the opportunity to mobilize a small force to attack and kill him.
"kill……"
Suddenly, shouts of killing rang out from the east. When Murong Hua saw this, he quickly shouted: "No, Your Highness, another group of attackers are coming. We are surrounded."
Kublai Khan saw enemies on all sides, and his eyes could not help but be filled with despair.
The previous attacks had a lineup of hundreds or even thousands of people, but this time there were at least thousands of people. This was the pace to completely kill him here.
"It's over." Kublai Khan said to himself with a wry smile.
