Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

In the end, the Han princes in Hebei decided not to choose a side team. They would be loyal to whoever was the Mongol Khan, and would not surrender to Tuo Lei because Tuo Lei and their family's territory were closer to Hebei.

After all, the Mongol host kings who had worn the same pants as Tuo Lei before and even fully supported Tuo Lei all surrendered to Ogedai.

Now that the position of the Great Khan has been completely established, and the Jin Kingdom is about to be destroyed, in this case, if they follow Tuo Lei, will they follow Tuo Lei in revolt?

In the end, the envoy sent by Tuo Lei was served by these Han people from Hebei, and they were fed and fed, but no one was sent to answer him.

She didn't say anything to him, let alone make any promises, she just left him there and didn't even let him leave.

A few days later, Wokuotai and Zhang Yong led the Mongolian army to join the Han people's Hou army in Hebei.

"Shi Tianze, commander-in-chief of the Hebei army, and Liu Heima pay homage to the Great Khan." The two leaders of the Han Dynasty, Liu Heima and Shi Tianze, knelt on the ground and spoke.

"Well! Forgive me! You have done well recently, I am very happy." Wo Kuotai raised his hand to the Hebei Han nobles who were kneeling in front of him and motioned for them to get up.

Not long ago, he received a joint letter from the Han princes in Hebei.

The content of the letter was very simple. First, they informed Wo Kuotai about Tuo Lei, and wanted to force them, the Shihou family of Han people in Hebei, to secretly serve the Tuo Lei family.

Afterwards, he very cautiously told Wokuotai that no matter what conditions the Tuolei family offered, all the Han princes in Hebei were loyal to the Mongol Khan.

After receiving this affirmative answer, Ogedai was obviously very satisfied. This was the result he wanted before he ascended to the position of Great Khan of Mongolia.

Some of these Han princes in Hebei obviously supported Tuo Lei. Even before Zhang Yong failed to win Guanzhong, most of the Han princes in Hebei supported Tuo Lei.

Now we have the support of these Han people in Hebei. With the support of Zhang Yong's forces in Guanzhong and Sichuan and Sichuan, plus the newly captured land in the Central Plains of Henan, even Tuo Lei controls 70% of the Mongolian army.

He, Wo Kuotai, is not afraid of the other party, because he is the Great Khan of Mongolia after all. If Tuo Lei really leads these guys to rebel, Wo Kuotai is confident that a large number of Mongolian generals and thousands of households will surrender to him.

"At this critical moment, your loyalty is particularly commendable, and I will never forget you." Wo Kuotai nodded to the Han princes in Hebei and said with a smile.

Some words cannot be said clearly, but as long as he says them, these Han nobles in Hebei can still understand them.

"Thank you, Great Khan! We will swear allegiance to the Great Khan to the death!" A group of Han people from Hebei knelt on the ground and said.

Wo Kuotai nodded with satisfaction, dismounted himself, and helped up a group of Han Shihou who were kneeling on the ground.

He also took Zhang Yong to greet these Han princes one by one, and introduced Zhang Yong, the King of Guanzhong, and the local Han princes in Hebei.

"I have met all the Han military princes." Zhang Yong said to the Han princes very politely.

"Don't dare! The King of Guanzhong is a king, and we are just marquises. How dare we compare with the King of Guanzhong? Please support the King of Guanzhong in the future." A group of Han princes were also very respectful in front of Zhang Yong. Open your mouth and say it.

Han family etiquette cannot be abolished. Zhang Yong's title is Wangjue, and the areas he rules are Sichuan, Shu and Guanzhong. All the princes in Hebei combined are not as big as these two areas. (These Han people are not just in Hebei, but also in some areas of Shanxi and even parts of Liaodong. They also belong to these Han people.)

Zhang Yong did not dare to underestimate the Hebei Superman Group. The combat effectiveness of these guys was very strong, and with this Mongolian-style management, these guys still had great combat effectiveness until the Yuan Dynasty.

These Han princes from Hebei are really slippery! It basically controls the most powerful Han force and is one of the most intermediate military forces in Mongolia.

But these Han people in Hebei were in power during the period when Guiyou succeeded to the throne, Meng Ge Khan succeeded to the throne, and the two empress dowagers seized power.

During the many civil strife in Mongolia, they did not choose sides, did not support anyone, nor said they were against anyone, but remained neutral. They would be loyal to whoever wins the position of Great Khan of Mongolia.

But precisely because of this, they offended Meng Ge, the last recognized Great Khan of the Mongol Empire.

When Kublai Khan and the Han princes in Hebei were very close, Meng Ge suppressed Kublai Khan and killed a large number of Han civil servants, even for no reason, which was even more serious for the Han princes in Hebei. The Hou Group also launched a crackdown.

This led to later Han princes in Hebei and even a large number of areas in the Central Plains collectively siding with Kublai Khan, allowing Kublai Khan to finally win the war with Ali Buge.

Now these Han princes in Hebei are taking the same route as in history, that is, they will be loyal to whoever is the Mongol Khan.

You are indeed powerful in dragging thunder, but you are not orthodox after all. You have lost the right to inherit the throne of the Great Khan, so they, the Han princes, will no longer be loyal.

After joining the army of the Han princes and waiting for a few more days, Chahetai came with an army of 50,000 to join Wo Kuotai.

The Red Coat Army in Shandong has reached a temporary armistice agreement with Mongolia. The Red Coat Army has not been in harmony with the Song Dynasty recently.

Because the leader of the Red Coat Army wanted to take the opportunity to seize some land from the Southern Song Dynasty to increase his own strength. He had previously nominally surrendered to the Song Dynasty, but now the two sides have completely fallen out.

Therefore, I also wanted to get on the big ship of Mongolia, so I temporarily reached an armistice agreement with Mongolia.

They also agreed that if Mongolia could destroy the Jin Kingdom, then their red-coated army would surrender to Mongolia.

"Brother Chagatai! Thanks to you this time, if it weren't for you, I would have sent troops to defend against these red-coated troops." In the military camp, Wo Kuotai took Chagatai's hand and said.

"Brothers you and I, there is no need to be polite, but from what I see, Li Quan, the leader of these red coat armies, is not a peaceful person.

After we destroy the Jin Kingdom, it is best to capture them quickly, otherwise, things will change later. "Jaghatai said.

Previously, he had nominally pledged his allegiance to the Southern Song Dynasty! Now he turns around and wants to attack the Southern Song Dynasty. This person is not trustworthy.

"As long as we can stabilize them for the time being, what conditions will these red-coated troops have if they surrender to Mongolia?" Wo Kuotai asked.

"They want to imitate Zhang Yong, the King of Guanzhong, the leader of the Red Coat Army, and they also want to be your son-in-law, and they also want to be the king.

He wants you to make him King of Qi and marry his daughter to a Mongolian princess. "Jaghatai said.

This is the opponent's surrender condition.

"He wants to marry my daughter, and he wants me to make them King of Qi! Does he want to imitate Zhang Yong?

But I heard that this man is already in his mid-forties and has a son and a daughter.

There is also a lady named Yang Miaozhen. What does it mean for our Mongolian princess to marry her? "Wokuotai said.

"You are not marrying him personally, but marrying his son. His son is only in his twenties this year." Chagatai said.

Wokuotai nodded and quickly called his men, asking him to call Zhang Yong immediately. He wanted to discuss this matter with Zhang Yong.

Soon, Zhang Yong came to the camp of Wokuotai and Chahetai.

"Greetings to the Great Khan! Greetings to Mr. Chahetai." Zhang Yong bowed to the two and said.

"No need to be polite, I came to you because I have something to ask for your opinion. Here's what happened. Do you have any opinion?" Wo Kuotai said and told Zhang all the meaning of Li Quan, a red-coated army officer in Shandong. Brave.

Confess the King of Qi! I also want to marry a Mongolian princess for my son! Isn't this your own routine? Are you trying to imitate me?

Wait, it doesn’t seem right, because in the original history.

Li Quan's son Li Fen did marry an Eastern Mongolian princess, and it was precisely because of this that the Red Coat Army was able to survive until the time of Kublai Khan.

He has been trusted by Mongolia for decades, so strictly speaking, I am learning from him.

"Great Khan! Do you believe these red-coated troops? And Lord Chagatai, do you think the red-coated troops will sincerely surrender to us?" Zhang Yong asked.

"I don't really believe in this guy named Li Quan. This guy named Li Quan is capricious.

For a period of time, they said they wanted to join Mongolia, but they rebelled and joined the Southern Song Dynasty, and then rebelled against the Southern Song Dynasty again and wanted to come and join us. "Wokuotai said.

Mongolia is extremely disgusted with such capricious people.

It's just like the Wuxian back then, except that the Wuxian's power is indeed not as powerful as the Red Coat Army. The Red Coat Army now occupies the entire Shandong Province, with as many as 80,000 troops.

Whether it was the Southern Song Dynasty, Mongolia, or even the Jin Kingdom, they all wanted to recruit them and make them their own.

Mongolia did want to recruit the Red Coat Army before, but now that the Jin Kingdom has been destroyed, the Red Coat Army's position is a bit embarrassing.

"This Li Quan is a capricious villain. Even if we agree to his surrender and choose a Mongolian princess to marry his son as his wife, he will not sincerely surrender to us," Chagatai said.

"But we must stabilize them now so that they will not stab us in the back, so I think we can choose a princess to marry his son." Zhang Yong rolled his eyes and said.

"I will not marry my daughter to his son, so be it!

Choose a princess from among the clan kings, marry her son, and stabilize her first. As for the matter of making the king, this won't work. "Wokuotai said.

Marry you to a Mongolian princess and stabilize you first. This can make you a marquis or even a duke.

But if you want to be crowned king, what are you thinking about? Zhang Yong has made so much contribution that he was named king. What contribution do you have, are you just taking refuge with us?

Zha Hetai also nodded when he heard this, agreeing with Wokuotai's statement.

Even if he chooses a Mongolian princess, he and Ogedai have the same attitude. They will not choose their own daughters, but will choose one from other sect kings, and then give her the title of Mongolian princess and marry her directly.

"Great Khan! For the time being, we can make the other party a Duke and command the entire Shandong region.

And choose a real Mongolian princess to marry her, but this princess needs to come from the Tuo Lei family. "Zhang Yong said.

Tuo Lei's daughter is the most orthodox Mongolian princess.

This is a good opportunity to kill someone with a borrowed knife! Father-in-law!

These two idiots, the Li family father and son, are the same, two rebels.

Rebellion is commonplace, and they will never truly surrender to Mongolia.

When they rebel, the Tuo Lei family will also suffer misfortune after Tuo Lei dies.

You can just use this excuse to deal with other members of the Tolei family.

"This is not good! Doesn't this make the Tuo Lei family stronger?" Wo Kuotai said.

Let Tuo Lei marry him! Are you, this kid, encouraging the forces that drag thunder? Before you kid took over Sichuan and Sichuan, the Red Coat Army was more powerful than you.

Push such an extremely powerful force to Tuo Lei, are you serious!

"Great Khan! Think about it, will Li Quan and his son really surrender sincerely? Even if his son marries Tuo Lei's daughter, he will not have any major cooperation with the Tuo Lei family.

After all, there is Hebei between them! Moreover, given the personalities of the Li family father and son, they are both rebellious.

They will definitely betray in the future, and the opportunity will come when the time comes. "Zhang Yong smiled and said.

Even if the Tuolei family and the Red Coat Army were to marry, the two parties would not have too close a relationship. After all, both father and son were pretending to surrender.

Hearing this, Wo Kuotai's eyes lit up!

Yes! When the time comes, I can use this reason to deal with the Tuo Lei family.

Look, this man is the son-in-law of your Tuolei family. It turns out that your son-in-law took the lead in the rebellion.

You failed to take good care of your son-in-law. Isn't this a crime?

"Furthermore! Tuo Lei has just made a great contribution. In this name, you can make the newly crowned Duke obey Tuo Lei's orders.

Their family's territory is nominally considered Tuo Lei's territory. "Zhang Yong said.

When the time comes, Tuo Lei will definitely ask the Li family and his son to obey his orders.

According to Li Quan's character in history, Zhang Yong is 100% sure that Li Quan and his son will not listen to the gossip.

When the time comes, the two families will have conflicts, and if there are conflicts between the two families, they will not be harmonious. In the past, Tuo Lei's daughter was just a victim of anger.

Moreover, this situation will also accelerate the rebellion of the father and son, and then surgery can be performed.

"Okay! Hahaha! That's it.

He has made such great contributions to Tuo Lei, so I will let him lead the Red Coat Army.

He also married his eldest daughter to Li Fen, the son of Li Quan, the leader of the Red Coat Army. "Wo Kuotai nodded with great satisfaction and said.

After figuring everything out, Wo Kuotai suddenly became enlightened.

This guy's method is good, so let's do it.

"Brother Chagatai! What do you think of this plan?" Wo Kuotai looked at his brother and asked.

"Great Khan! I think this strategy is feasible, so I will let the daughter of Tuo Lei's family marry her. And I will reward Tuo Lei with the territory of the Red Coat Army." Chagatai said.

The three of them nodded, finally settling on the plan.

After discussing the issue of how to deal with the Red Coat Army, the two brothers Chagatai and Wokuotai combined more than 200,000 people and arrived at Kaifeng Mansion to meet up with Tuo Lei.

Although Tuolei won a great victory, it was unable to succeed. After all, the army only had 30,000 people. It had annihilated the main force of the Jin Kingdom before, and its own losses were not small. Now it only has more than 20,000 people.

Let alone attacking Kaifeng Mansion, it would be very difficult even if Kaifeng Mansion was besieged.

But after Wokuotai led the remaining Mongolian army, this became no problem. More than 200,000 troops surrounded Kaifeng Mansion.

The city walls of Kaifeng Prefecture are not tall. This former capital of the Northern Song Dynasty has experienced many falls and wars, and there are no natural dangers to defend.

There were more than one million people in the city. When Duanping entered Luo in the last Southern Song Dynasty, when he entered this government office, there were only tens of thousands of residents and thousands of households.

Later, the Mongolian army dug up the dams of the Yellow River and flooded Kaifeng Mansion. As a result, this large city with a population of one million in ancient times has never recovered.

"Tuo Lei! My good brother, I knew you would fight a big victory for me. You really did not disappoint me and defeated the main army of the Jin Kingdom." After meeting Tuo Lei, Wo Kuotai was very enthusiastic. stepped forward. He held Tuo Lei in his arms and said happily.

This scene seemed to be how close the two were. Unlike Wo Kuotai's enthusiasm, Tuo Lei just hugged his third brother Wo Kuotai symbolically.

From his eyes, Zhang Yong even saw disgust, resistance, contempt, and unwillingness.

Tuo Lei was obviously very dissatisfied that Wokuotai took away the position of Great Khan that originally belonged to his youngest son.

Hypocrisy, who are you showing off to? When did our relationship get better?

Everyone booed and inquired again for a while. Wokuotai brought the remaining Mongolian generals to the Chinese army's tent, and then unceremoniously sat in the position of Tuo Lei's former coach.

Not polite at all.

This was the Chinese army's tent before, but now it is the Chinese army's tent in Wokuotai.

"What's the situation in Kaifeng Mansion now? Tuo Lei, come and talk to me." Wo Kuotai asked as soon as he sat down.

"Wokuotai Khan! Master Tuo Lei has made such a huge contribution, and we have also made this contribution with Master Tuo Lei. You should reward us." A Mongolian Qianhu stood up and said.

They, the heads of thousands of households, have been fighting with Tuo Lei, so they are naturally loyal to Tuo Lei, and Tuo Lei has already expressed his intention to them before, asking them to ask for rewards immediately after Wokuotai arrives.

(In Mongolian tradition, if you have made great contributions, you can talk to the Great Khan to ask for something. The Great Khan did not have the custom of the Central Plains emperors who would rather have their subjects die than have them die. Even many generals and princes in early Mongolia Nobles did not need to kneel down to the Great Khan. This tradition was not implemented until Ogedai destroyed the Jin Kingdom.)

Good guy, I started asking for things at this time. This time Tuo Lei came prepared! (End of chapter)
