Zhao Yun raised his eyes and looked around at these ministers, and saw that they were all enthusiastic about the covenant, but they ignored what he had told him about the affairs with the three beauties. Zhao Yun felt sad in his heart.
Zhao Yun thought to himself: "You have not realized the point of what I said. My point is to marry three beauties. This is the point!"
At this moment, Zhao Yun finally understood why emperors in the past dynasties always kept a few treacherous ministers and villains around them.
Jianghai people are mature and sophisticated. Seeing that Zhao Yun seemed to be not very interested in everyone's suggestions, he thought for a while and seemed to have guessed Zhao Yun's thoughts.
So he raised his hand to Zhao Yun and said: "Whether the Song-Mongolian covenant comes true or not, we, the Song Dynasty, need to make two preparations. On the one hand, we must deploy troops and establish a defense system in Sichuan and Shu. On the other hand, your majesty will get married as soon as possible. If the Mongolian princess comes according to the covenant,
, then I won’t be at a loss and lose my dignity in heaven.”
Zhao Yun nodded, with an appreciative smile on his face, and said: "The Qing family is right. This is a mature and prudent statement. I must accept it."
After saying that, Zhao Yun ordered Wu Qian, Yu Tianxi and the others to send a decree to the Lin'an Rites Department to start the wedding. At the same time, he ordered them to summon Yu Jie to see them and inquire about the mountain city's defense system without delay.
,,
But he said that in accordance with Zhao Yun's order, more than 5,000 Mongolian prisoners were sent out of Dashan Pass.
Each of these five thousand people returned with their own weapons and armor, and most of them had recovered from their injuries and were ready to fight at any time.
The only fly in the ointment is that their mounts did not go back with them. The Song Dynasty was also short of horses. Those war horses had been allocated long ago as part of the reward. Now they are regarded as treasures by the Song soldiers. Naturally, it is impossible for them to take them away.
.
"Brothers, this prince is here to pick you up."
Not long after the five thousand people came out of Dashan Pass, they saw Tuo Lei and Bo Shu coming to greet them.
Five thousand people rushed to Tuo Lei like crazy, knelt in front of Tuo Lei and cried bitterly.
Tuo Lei was both happy and angry. What he was happy about was that his five thousand subordinates were released and he had some confidence to speak.
He was angry because he had an army of 30,000 to attack the Song Dynasty, but was defeated so embarrassingly. It was extremely humiliating.
In anger, Tuo Lei suddenly drew his sword and held the blade tightly with his hand until his hand was dripping with blood.
Then Tuo Lei pointed his sword at the sky and shouted: "Today I Tuo Lei swear that I will destroy Zhao Song's country in this life, burn down Zhao Song's ancestral temple, and cut off Zhao Song's descendants. Zhao Song and I are at odds with each other!"
When Tuo Lei returned, his son Kublai Khan was worried when he saw Tuo Lei returning with five thousand people.
Kublai Khan found Tuo Lei and said: "Father, the Great Khan was already suspicious of you. Now that you have come back with five thousand people, it will definitely deepen the Great Khan's suspicion of you. The boy hopes that his father will take the initiative to hand over these five thousand people to the Great Khan."
Khan handles it, gains the trust of the Great Khan, and plans to develop in the future."
Tuo Lei was angry and said: "What did you say? This is my father's confidence in speaking. Do you want my father to be submissive and live like a dog?"
I think he was most favored by Genghis Khan for dragging mines. Genghis Khan gave him the best and best horses, the bravest and most brave soldiers, and the most sacred and rich fiefdom. What a glory he was at that time.
But now, he has to look at Wo Kuotai's face everywhere, and has to worry about losing his life every now and then. How can he endure this?
Borshu agreed with Kublai Khan's proposition. He said to Tuolei: "Prince Tuolei, now that the Great Khan has a strong army and a righteous name, you cannot resist him at all. If the Great Khan wants to attack you, these five
Thousands of people will have no effect."
Tuo Lei was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
Gu Min's situation was stronger than that of humans, and the tiger had to pretend to be a tabby cat. Tuo Lei had no choice but to agree to their suggestion and walk towards the big tent in Wokuotai.
At this time, Niu Gu, Lu Zhongshan and Zhenhai were discussing matters with Wo Kuotai in Wo Kuotai's main tent, and what they were talking about was the matter of towing five thousand soldiers and horses.
Wokuotai said: "What do you think of the matter of Tuo Lei hiding five thousand soldiers and horses?"
Zhenhai was a relatively loyal man. He said: "Tou Lei is the fourth son of the First Khan. It is nothing to have five thousand soldiers and horses under his command. The Great Khan does not need to take it to heart."
After hearing this, Wokuotai couldn't help but frown.
When Niu Colu Chongshan heard Wo Kuotai use the word "private possession", he guessed what Wo Kuotai was thinking. At this time, he saw Wo Kuotai frowning again, and he was even more sure of Wo Kuotai's intentions.
Niu Gulu Zhongshan fell in love with him and said to Wo Kuotai with a worried look: "Great Khan, a small fire can burn down the entire palace, a small ant hole can collapse the entire embankment, Tuo Lei has always been brave, and
He is favored by the First Khan and has great prestige in Mongolia. If he controls an army of 5,000 people, if he gets a good opportunity, he can set off huge waves. The Great Khan must be on guard!"
This sentence really spoke to Wo Kuotai's heart.
Wokuotai looked serious and asked hurriedly: "Does Zhongshan have any good advice to teach me?"
Niu Gulu Chongshan was overjoyed when he saw that Wokuotai valued him so much and treated him like a teacher, knowing that his glory and wealth were not far away.
Subduing his excitement, Niu Gulu said: "The tomb of the First Khan is about to be built. After it is completed, it needs to be taken care of by capable and trustworthy people. Only then can we rest assured that the Great Khan can order Tuo Lei to take on this important task."
Wo Kuotai was overjoyed. This way he would not have to kill Tuo Lei and avoid being blamed for killing his brother, but he could also trap Tuo Lei so that he would no longer be a threat to him.
Even if one day Tuo Lei "gets sick and dies" because he can't stand the climate at Yi Guan Tomb, he can't blame himself. This really kills two birds with one stone.
Zhenhai saw Niu Gulu Chongshan's sinister intentions and was very angry. He said angrily to Niu Gulu Chongshan: "Why do you mean to speak so hard about the Great Khan? Do you want the Great Khan to bear the infamy?"
Then he persuaded Ogedai: "Great Khan, the First Khan once made it clear that the Great Khan and Prince Tolei should unite as one. Now that the First Khan has just passed away, the Great Khan treats Prince Tolei like this. How does this make the world think?
you?"
"presumptuous."
Wokuotai became furious and yelled at Zhenhai.
"Zhenhai, this Khan asked Tuo Lei to guard Xianhan's tomb, how could he harm him? Is it possible that Xianhan's tomb was left to be abandoned and dilapidated, and he ignored it?"
Zhenhai was horrified, his face turned pale and he was sweating profusely. He hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed in apology.
"snort!"
Wo Kuotai was angry and said, "If you hadn't been Uncle Kuo Duan, I would not have spared you today!"
Kuo Duan is Wo Kuotai's second son, born to Wo Kuotai's favorite concubine Huteni, and Zhenhai and Huteni are brother and sister. If placed in an ordinary family, Wo Kuotai would have to have an uncle when he saw Zhenhai.
Brother yelled, trying to please me a little bit.
But in the Tianjia, Zhenhai is just the ministers and subordinates of Wo Kuotai, and they will be killed just by saying, without any reason.
