Agula saw that Wanyan Khan was so proud and complacent, and he couldn't help but start to worry about the future of the newly unified grassland.
An arrogant army will be defeated, and now their khan is such an arrogant lord who was blinded by victory.
Now, although their Wanyan tribe has unified the Central Plains, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is just integration by force. There are still many internal troubles in their grasslands.
Because several tribes were defeated by Wanyan tribe's tactics, they were not convinced in their hearts. How could they be convinced unless they were defeated in an upright manner?
These tribes will be a big hidden danger to the grassland in the future.
At this time, he did not rest and accumulate strength to prevent rebellion, but he still continued to fight abroad. Moreover, the Central Plains was still an extremely difficult bone to crack. In addition, the victorious Khan had become more and more proud and eager to do something unparalleled.
merit.
As Khan's first adviser, he was quite unfavorable to Khan's ideas.
But the Khan's subordinates knew that their advice was useless and had no choice but to obey.
Agula asked: "Khan, now our grassland borders Chu and Zhou. Which country does Khan intend to conquer?"
When Wanyan Khan heard that Agula no longer objected, he helped Agula kneeling on the ground and said with a smile: "This Khan is Agula. Although he is thin, he is still a rare warrior on my grassland. However, this Khan also knows how to make friends from far away and attack at close range.
The reason is that this time our Wanyan tribe's army is closer to the Chu State. The first thing is to make good friends with the Zhou State, and it is best to persuade the Zhou State to join us in the grassland to attack Chu. They just suffered a defeat from the Chu State, and they will definitely
Agree with this Khan’s plan.”
However, Agula shook his head and said: "No, Khan, I believe that this time we should not adopt distant diplomacy and close attack, but should adopt the principle of strong diplomacy and weak attack, and attack the Zhou Kingdom."
Wanyan Khan finally thought about it. He was refuted by Agula, so he was naturally a little unhappy. Recalling that Agula had tried hard to dissuade him from sending troops just now, he felt even more awkward.
Wanyan Khan said in a deep voice: "Agula, don't think that I have turned a deaf ear to the news from the Central Plains because I have been fighting for years. The Chu Kingdom was in disaster the year before last, and now the little financial resources I have may have been exhausted in the war with the Zhou Kingdom.
Now, what else can I do to stop the iron hoof of my grassland?!"
Agula said: "But the Chu State has the indemnity from the Zhou State and the newly established Guoshang Yuan. These are not the most important. The most important thing is the firearm used by the Chu State."
"When Khan was campaigning against the last few tribes, warriors from my Wanyan tribe went south to rob the Central Plains of food. However, they used firearms to easily defeat hundreds of warriors from our grasslands."
Wanyan Khan said: "I have heard a little bit about the firearms, but I have already investigated clearly. Although our army was defeated, there was a reason. It was not how strong the firearms were. The reason why our army was defeated was
It was because the first time they saw such a fiery and roaring thing, it frightened the sitting horse. As long as the sitting horse can be trained a little so that it is no longer afraid of the thundering firearm, what will happen to their Chu army?
Resist the charge of my prairie warriors?"
Agula said: "Khan, you also know that if our army faces the Chu army's war horses, it will need to be trained. This will take a lot of time, which will inevitably weaken the morale of our army. Moreover, the Chu army has just won, and its morale is...
It's high-end and has the power of a firearm. I'm afraid that by the time the Khan's war horses are trained, the Chu State's treasury will no longer be short of money!"
When Wanyan Khan heard Agula's words, he thought about it and asked, "Do you mean that I must attack Zhou?"
Agula said: "The Zhou Kingdom suffered a defeat. It was a time when morale was low, and there was no advantage in firearms. Our army will definitely win consecutive battles against the Zhou Kingdom's army. Attacking the Zhou Kingdom is the best strategy. Khan, my ministers
These words are all spoken from the bottom of my heart! They are thinking about our grassland!"
Wanyan Khan was very unhappy when he heard this, but Agula was indeed thinking about the grassland, so he could only nod his head and said: "Okay, then I will follow your plan and attack the Zhou Kingdom.
.”
Agula said: "Before attacking the Zhou State, you must send envoys to the Chu State and make good friends with it. If when our army attacks the Zhou State, the Chu State takes advantage of the emptiness of our grassland to launch a sneak attack. The gain will not be worth the loss."
When Wanyan Khan heard this, he finally nodded and said: "What you said makes some sense, but who should be sent on this mission?"
Agula said: "Khan, this matter is related to our grassland plan. Agula wants to go there in person. It is best to wait until the contract is signed with the Chu State before sending troops..."
Wanyan Khan asked: "What is the best?"
Agula said: "It would be best to send the Khan's blood relatives to the Chu Kingdom to make peace with him. People in the Central Plains value blood relationships and make empty promises. If we add a layer of blood relationships, it will be of great benefit to us."
Wanyan Khan said: "But the four sons born to this Khan have no daughters. Besides, I don't ask him for anything from the Chu Kingdom! Why should I send a woman to marry him?"
Agula immediately persuaded the Khan with good words: "Khan calm down, this is also for the sake of our grassland plan. It doesn't have to be the Khan's biological child. If there is no blood relative, it can be adopted, but it is not possible..."
Wanyan Khan asked: "If it doesn't work, what?"
Agula said: "If it doesn't work out, just pick a handsome man from the four sons of the Khan and see if he can impress the princess from the Chu Kingdom."
Wanyan Khan obviously felt much more comfortable: "Well, it is still acceptable for me to marry a daughter from Chu State."
Agula said, "I will choose a prince to go this time. The Khan also selected an adopted daughter earlier. If the prince fails to attract the attention of the princess and the emperor of Chu, he will have to marry the Khan's adopted daughter to Chu."
The country, everything is just for my grand plan for the grassland, a little impatience will mess up the big plan. Khan must not lose my grand plan for the grassland because of trivial matters of face!"
Wanyan Khan said: "According to what you said, I will ask the princes to come over and let you choose who will go."
Agula bowed and said: "Yes."
The four princes soon walked into the Khan's tent. Each of them was a good fighter, and they were all warriors of the grassland, each with their own merits.
After Wanyan Khan informed the four princes about Agula's plan, the four princes were all overjoyed. They heard that all the women in the Central Plains were beautiful and charming. They were used to seeing women who were just like them on the grassland, but now there were actually
How could they not be tempted by the opportunity to marry a royal noblewoman from the Central Plains?
Now, who among them can go on an envoy to the Central Plains depends entirely on Agula.
The first person to appear was the eldest prince, and Agula passed him directly.
The eldest prince was unconvinced and said: "Agula! Among all the brothers, I am the bravest. Whether it is riding, shooting or wrestling, they can't compare to me. Why don't you let me go?!"
There is naturally a reason why Agula passed the eldest prince. He is brave and brave, but it does not conform to the aesthetics of the Central Plains people!
What were they there to do?
To put it bluntly, it’s a beauty trap!
But the eldest prince’s hair, flesh, and face are no different from those of a beast...
Are you trying to attract the princess or the prince?
