Yelu Chucai explained: "This strategy of borrowing Taoism is the idea of the Great Khan. If the prince thinks it is not feasible, wouldn't it be equivalent to rejecting the Great Khan's entire plan to eliminate money!
How can the plan to eliminate the wealth be easily dismissed after a lot of effort? Wouldn't this make the Great Khan unhappy? If the Great Khan is displeased, will the Great Khan be worried about your lack of planning and indecision in doing things? The Great Khan himself
I don’t have much love for you. If you really have such thoughts, can you still hold your position as the heir apparent?"
Wo Kuotai broke into a cold sweat and looked at Yelu Chucai, his face full of joy.
In addition to being lucky, Wo Kuotai was also afraid. If Yelu Chucai hadn't reminded him, he might have made a big mistake.
Wo Kuotai held Yelu Chucai's wrist tightly and said anxiously: "Sir, since it's as you said, it's impossible to achieve it by borrowing money, and it's also difficult to succeed in destroying gold, so what should I do?"
Yelu Chucai had already found a way. He said: "Since the gold cannot be destroyed successfully, and the prince cannot stop it, then the prince cannot go to destroy the gold this time, so as not to lose his strength and prestige. Now there is only one thing the prince can do."
Something, sick!"
"Get ill?"
"Yes, since ancient times, illness has been a common problem. Illness has saved many people from disasters. At this time, it is suitable for the prince."
It was almost dusk on the second day, and Wokuotai found Tuo Lei and discussed with Tuo Lei a plan to destroy Jin.
During this period, Wokuotai put forward many valuable opinions. Tuo Lei was very excited after hearing this. When it was dinner time in the evening, Wokuotai said goodbye, but Tuo Lei still held Wokuotai away and refused to let him go.
The two of them chatted while eating, both in high spirits.
When he was drinking to his heart's content, Wokuotai became drunk. He recalled that when he was a child, the two brothers practiced wrestling every day, and their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, and they couldn't help laughing.
Tuo Lei became interested as soon as he heard this, and immediately suggested that the two of them wrestle to see who was better.
Wokuotai did not refuse and accepted the offer gladly, and the two of them had a wrestling match in the cold wind.
After playing to the fullest, Wo Kuotai pulled off his clothes, went shirtless, and fought with Tuo Lei to win or lose. The two of them had so much fun that many soldiers came to watch and clapped their hands.
When Genghis Khan learned that their brothers were like this, he nodded with satisfaction and felt relieved.
Genghis Khan sighed: "As long as the two brothers are of one mind, no one in the world can stop the Mongols."
However, after only one night, Wo Kuotai fell ill. Tuo Lei heard about it and hurriedly came to visit.
The doctor said: "Now is the season when cold and heat alternate, and it is extremely easy to catch cold. The third prince drank and wrestled last night, and his sweat was blown by the cold wind, which made him cold. Although it is not serious, he still needs to rest, otherwise, the root cause of the disease will fall.
.”
After Tuo Lei heard this, he blamed himself very much and felt guilty for Wo Kuotai. He cursed that he should not have wrestled with Wo Kuotai, which made Wo Kuotai fall ill.
Wo Kuotai was not angry with him. Instead, he forced himself to look sick and comforted him. Tuo Lei was feeling better, and he was more convinced of Wo Kuotai in his heart.
Ogedai was ill, and it was impossible to fight for a while. As a result, he could not participate in the extermination of gold. Genghis Khan had no choice but to entrust the task of exterminating gold to Tuo Lei, hoping that he would achieve good results.
Tuo Lei was extremely brave in fighting and was extremely interested in conquest. At this time, he received Genghis Khan's personal order and could go to the Jin Kingdom alone without anyone to restrain him, so he was even more excited.
He immediately discussed with his subordinates and generals, and then decided to send two envoys first, to the Kingdom of Jin and the Kingdom of Song respectively.
Tuo Lei said to Tang Qing, the envoy to the Jin Kingdom: "When you arrive in the Jin Kingdom, you must show off the majesty of our great Mongolian kingdom, so that the kings and ministers of the Jin Kingdom will know the power of our Mongolia and disrupt their aspirations."
The purpose of sending envoys to the Jin Kingdom and dragging mines is to use the power of Mongolia to split the Jin Kingdom's court and prompt Jin Kingdom officials to take sides in advance. If it can cause palace changes, mutinies, civil unrest, etc. in the Jin Kingdom, then naturally
It couldn't be better.
Tang Qing raised his hand respectfully and responded: "Yes, Your Highness the Fourth Prince, I will definitely fulfill my mission."
Tuo Lei glanced at Tang Qing, and then said: "This time you are on a mission to the Kingdom of Jin, it is very likely that you will be killed by the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin to vent your anger. I promise you that if something happens to you, I will not treat your family members badly. In the future, you will be a high-ranking official."
Your family’s salary is indispensable.”
Tang Qing looked determined and said: "Thank you for the prince's generous gift. I will be able to serve as a servant for the prince in this life. Even if I die, I will have no regrets."
"Um."
Tuo Lei said "hmm" and said to Subarhan, the envoy to the Song Dynasty: "Subalhan, when you come to the Song Dynasty, you can benefit from it. As long as the Song Dynasty agrees to use the road, it means ceding the land of the Jin Kingdom."
But, in short, no matter what conditions the Song Dynasty proposes, you can agree."
Speaking of this, Tuo Lei said with a smile: "Subalhan, no matter whether you succeed or not this time, because of the virtue of the Song Dynasty, you will be treated like a distinguished guest. Compared with Tang Qing's mission to the Jin Dynasty, you are on a good mission.
"
Subalhan was proud in his heart and happy on his face. He said to Tuo Lei: "Thank you very much for your support, Prince. I will definitely complete the mission for the Prince on this mission. I will never dare to disgrace my mission."
"Well, it's getting late, you go ahead."
"Yes, Prince, I take my leave."
During Tang Qing's reign, Subalhan retired and embarked on his mission.
The two of them set out on their journey and left. One person also wanted to leave. He came to Tuo Lei's tent and asked Tuo Lei for leave. This person was Wanyan Yi, nicknamed Monk Wanyan Chen.
Monk Wanyan Chen is 35 years old this year. He comes from a family of Jin Kingdom generals. His father, Wanyan Qige, led an army to fight against the Song army in his early years. He was defeated and killed. He was also captured when the Mongols plundered the Jin Kingdom fifteen years ago.
Become a slave and raise horses for the Mongols to herd.
However, this man has quite a heroic spirit and is tall and resolute. If he is going to fight, he will be a rare choice for a general.
After becoming a slave, he was deeply appreciated by the slave owner. Later, by chance, he was spotted by Tuo Lei, who called him into his side as a guard.
Tuo Lei marches bravely and always charges forward. As Tuo Lei's guard, Monk Wanyan Chen has taken a lot of risks for Tuo Lei for more than ten years, so he is highly regarded by Tuo Lei. Among the Tuo Lei army, his
The status is not low either.
Today, as soon as Tang Qing and Subalhan left, Monk Wanyan Chen came to ask for leave from Tuo Lei, saying that his old mother was seriously ill and hoped to return to his hometown to visit.
After hearing this, Tuo Lei ordered people to bring ginseng, deer antlers, and twenty taels of gold, and handed them over to Monk Wanyan Chen.
Tuo Lei said: "Monk Chen, you go back to your hometown to visit your mother. When your mother's health improves, you can also take her to live with Lin to live in her old age, so that you won't miss her unbearably."
Monk Wanyan Chen, with tears in his eyes, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your great kindness. I can only repay it by dying."
Tuo Lei was satisfied and immediately ordered his guard Geqiba to accompany Monk Wanyan Chen back to his hometown. The two left on horseback that day.
