Chapter 183 Kublai Khan’s plan

"Your Majesty, it's bad, the Southern Dynasty army has arrived in the imperial city." Yelu Chou rushed in in a furious manner, shouting, and even forgot to salute Kublai Khan.

The appearance of the Southern Song army in Dadu is of great significance and has a historic great significance, ending the history of the Chinese army in Dadu for more than three years. For Yelu Chou, this was something he could not imagine at all, and there was also the truth that he was not afraid of changing his face and was as anxious as a dog who was stranded.

Logically, when Kublai Khan received such important information, he must have been furious, shouted loudly, criticized his ministers' incompetence, and then dispatched troops to defend the imperial city. However, Kublai Khan's reaction was beyond anyone's surprise. He slapped the imperial case and shouted: "Bold, you dare to speak nonsense and confuse people's hearts, I will not spare you. Thinking that you have made great contributions to the country, I will exempt you from your death penalty and slap your mouth thirty. Come and execute someone!"

Several guards rushed in and held Yelu Chou back, and a eunuch came over and hit Yelu Chou's face with a round arm. There were endless sounds of slap. In a few seconds, Yelu Chou's face was marked with finger marks.

The Xuanjiao cavalry has approached the imperial city. What an important thing? Yelu Chou can't care about the pain and reported again: "Emperor, I'm telling you every word that a black army in the Southern Dynasty is almost at the imperial city. Please prepare early! Your Majesty!"

Kublai Khan was unmoved, raised his eyebrows and shouted, "You still dare to speak nonsense? Try hard and beat him hard."

"Emperor..." Yelu Chou was about to scream again. Seeing Kublai Khan's eyes flashing at him, he immediately changed his words: "Emperor, according to your will, the Qixue Corps is pretending to be the Southern Dynasties army and is heading towards the imperial city. Please go and review it."

Kublai Khan waved his hand and said, "Are you sure?"

"Your Majesty, I'm sure it's the Qiexue Army." Yelu Chou finally understood Kublai Khan's intention. If he shouted like he had just now, the news that the Southern Song army approached the palace would not spread immediately, and the consequences would be devastating. The imperial city would be scattered immediately, the army would have no fighting spirit and chaos. If the imperial city was not taken down by Zhao Qian in one fell swoop, Kublai Khan would definitely become Zhao Qian's captive.

Under the current circumstances, it is impossible for other troops to arrive at the imperial city to rescue the emperor, so they can only rely on the power of the imperial city. Kublai Khan did this to stabilize the hearts of the people. He understood that he "made false words" when he came over.

Kublai Khan waved his hand, and the guard let Yelu Chou go, and Kublai Khan issued an order: "You go and pass the order immediately, and ask the guards, eunuchs, palace maids, concubines, breeches, and servants in the palace to bring their weapons, and immediately gather at the gate of the city to participate in the confrontation performance of the Qiexue Corps. Those who are less than half an incense stick will be killed! Those who are not well-equipped will be killed! Those who are not fully equipped will be killed!"

"Listen to the Tatars: We are the Xuanjia cavalry of the Song Dynasty, and we will attack your imperial city according to the emperor's will. Those who follow me will live, those who go against me will die! Those who put down their weapons will leave you a way out! Those who resist stubbornly will be killed!" Zhao Qian rode on his horse, pointed at the imperial city with a whip and shouted loudly.

At this time, Zhao Qian was full of energy and proud, and he couldn't express his joy in his heart, naturally because he was the first general to arrive outside the Mongolian imperial city. This was a matter of supreme glory. This significance was not only extremely important to him personally, but also had historical significance to the Southern Song Dynasty.

Look at the soldiers, they all were proud and looked very enjoyable. Needless to say, that was because they were the first army to arrive at the Mongolian Imperial City, they were proud and proud.

Since Shi Jingtang treason, this place no longer belongs to China. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, it has rarely won victory in foreign wars and has been defeated repeatedly. Not to mention restoring the land of Yanyun, it has also lost the Central Plains and Bianjing. It has retreated to Lin'an to steal the peace, and has relied on the transportation of gold and silk for a short-term peace.

Now, the Southern Song Dynasty has become abnormal. The Southern Song army appears on the streets of Dadu and outside the imperial city of Mongolia. Everyone wants to get the significance of this. Every Chinese citizen should be proud of it! He is proud of it!

The Xuanjia Cavalry was one of the most elite troops of the Southern Song Dynasty. When adults rolled on the battlefield, they had a terrifying murderous aura. In addition, their army was magnificent and powerful, and they were very intimidating. The Mongolian soldiers on the imperial city saw it in their eyes and were shocked in their hearts, with fear on their faces. You look at me, I look at you, step back step by step.

As long as the Mongolian soldiers were scared to death, the imperial city was in control, and then Kublai Khan was in control. Then whether the decisive battle in the Central Plains was still going on must be remeasured. The course of history might have to be rewrited, and great success was right in front of him. Even though Zhao Qian rolled through the sea of ​​corpses and blood countless times, he developed a calm mind that everything would not be lingered in his mind, he couldn't help but get excited at this time, his heart was pounding and was about to pop out of his mouth.

A long and cheerful laughter sounded, and Kublai Khan's tall figure appeared on the top of the city. At this time, Kublai Khan was wearing a military uniform, with a scimitar belt, majestic, as if he was here to inspect the soldiers about to go to the expedition. The emperor's aura came out of his body, stood on the top of the city, looked at Zhao Qian for a while, and said, "Miaomiaomiao! Saiyinnuo, you played Zhao Qian in the Southern Dynasty very similarly. I admire you very much and give you a thousand taels of gold." He pointed to the Xuan Armored Cavalry and commented: "The queue is neat, the army is magnificent, the momentum is like a rainbow, and the murderous aura is full of murderous aura. Good army, good army, good army, worthy of being the eagle on the grassland, and worthy of being the descendants of Genghis Khan. If you want you to play the Xuan Armored Cavalry in the Southern Dynasty, you act so well. It's amazing, great! You are all good, I will reward you with ten taels of gold."

What is he saying? There is a saying that he scolded the bald donkey in front of the monk, but he said in front of Zhao Qian that Zhao Qian was played by Sai Yinuo, and he could really make the truth into falsehood. I don’t know who is higher and lower with Zhao Gao’s “pointing to a deer as a horse”?

The words were spoken relaxed and freely, as if the Xuanjia Cavalry, the army of wars that made the Mongolians scared, were really pretended to be the Qixue Corps. The Mongolian soldiers did not know the mystery of it, and they really believed him, thinking that it was his own army, and their panic was wiped out and they all regained their calmness. They looked at the Xuanjia Cavalry with admiration.

The reason why they admired them was because Kublai Khan rewarded them with ten taels of gold each as soon as he made a move. "Man died for money, and birds died for food." How could ten taels of gold not make them moved?

Zhao Qian is an extremely excellent general. He is naturally his strength in leading troops to fight and charging into battle, but he is definitely not a qualified strategist. Such a trick of confusing black and white, such as Kublai Khan, who is not his strength in confusion, made Kublai Khan confused. He had already reached the imperial city. In theory, Kublai Khan was either scared to hide and dare not show up, or he was commanding the army to guard the city gates and waiting for reinforcements.

However, Kublai Khan's actions were beyond anyone's expectations. He actually called Zhao Qian Sai Yinuo and regarded the Xuanjia Cavalry as the Qiexue Corps. Isn't this a big mistake in the world? If Zhao Qian is not confused, it's impossible.

Zhao Qian really couldn't understand Kublai Khan's intentions, but he knew one thing, that is, fighting snakes with sticks would be of great benefit. He immediately put on a respectful attitude and said, "I have met the emperor. I have followed the order to enter the imperial city, and asked the emperor to open the city gate, let the city enter, and see the sky." He fought a lifelong battle with the Mongolians, and was extremely familiar with the various etiquettes of the Mongolians, and he was not bad at all when he performed etiquette.

Since it was his own army or he came in with the order, it was no big deal. The Mongolian soldiers guarding the gate had to open the city gate. Kublai Khan knew that Zhao Qian wanted to take the opportunity to enter the city, so he was fooled by him. He waved his hand to stop the city gate from opening, and said, "Do you know where this place is? This is the imperial city and the place where I live. It's not impossible for you to come in, it depends on whether you have enough ability." With a slap in both hands, several servants carried several baskets of gold up. Kublai Khan picked up a gold ingot and said to Zhao Qian: "This is full of gold. I have prepared 10,000 kilograms for you. If you get in, I will reward you."

He turned around and said to the guards and imperial guards beside him, "You must listen too. If you guard the imperial city and don't let Sainuo come in, I will reward you with 100,000 kilograms of gold. If you can't defend it, I will be polite and kill your nine clans."

There are not many soldiers guarding the imperial city. If they reward 100,000 kilograms of gold, they can share dozens of kilograms of gold alone, which is worth thousands of taels of silver. This is a reward among the heavy rewards. They know that Kublai Khan has a very high reputation and a clear reward and punishment. He said that rewarding you 100,000 kilograms of gold will not be less than one tael. All of them shine in their eyes and have a little courage.

It is said that "there will be a dead man under heavy rewards." This is a sincere and honest saying. The Mongolian soldiers who were originally playing drums suddenly became full of confidence, their blood was boiling, and they became greedy beasts.

The greedy Mongolian soldiers did not expect that Kublai Khan would add a nine clan to their words that they would destroy them if they could not defend themselves. That was to put pressure on them, fearing that they would not work hard to defend. This move was a great advantage in the front and a huge disaster was powerful behind them, and the Mongolian soldiers were still reluctant to sacrifice their lives.

As for whether Kublai Khan had a 100,000 kilograms of gold was too much, how could he be so stingy to calculate these things at this time? The most important thing is to keep the imperial city. With the imperial city, everything can be made back. Kublai Khan is a great king who can take it and let go, so he naturally ignores these small profits and will not feel sorry for gold.

Yelu Chou also understood Kublai Khan's intentions and cooperated with Kublai Khan's acting well. He raised his arms and shouted, "For gold, defend the imperial city!" He did not shout other slogans, but only shouted for gold. He could not only mobilize the greed of the soldiers, but also conceal the truth, so that the soldiers could mistakenly think that it was the Mongolian army pretending to be the Xuanjia cavalry.

Under the circumstances at that time, if the truth was revealed, let alone Kublai Khan, even Genghis Khan might not be able to turn the tide.

"For gold, defend the imperial city!" shouted loudly to the misled Mongolian soldiers.

Looking at the enthusiastic soldiers, Kublai Khan secretly wiped his forehead when no one noticed him. He was calm on the surface, but still nervous in his heart. He, a great group leader who was known as "the destroyer of an old world and the founder of a new world", has experienced countless storms and waves in his life, and has never had many days of licking blood from the knife. But there was no current crisis, and he actually forced the Southern Song army to the imperial city. It would be wrong to make him not nervous.

"The eagle on the grassland must fly majestic, and Genghis Khan's descendants must use blood to prove that he is the true descendant of Genghis Khan. Use the scimitar in your hands to prove that you are the real strong men, and donate the blood of the enemy to Genghis Khan!" Kublai Khan said loudly, inspiring the soldiers' fighting spirit. Such a statement is tantamount to giving the soldiers the order of "kill without any discussion".

The soldiers shouted, "Dedicate the enemy's blood to Genghis Khan!"

"They are descendants of Genghis Khan, and their heroic actions are worthy of the title of descendants of Genghis Khan. They have pastures, slaves, gold, silver and treasures, beauties, cattle and sheep, horse milk and wine, and jerky." Kublai Khan pointed to the Xuanjiao cavalry outside the city, and started to mislead, saying, "If you kill them, you can get the gold piled up in mountains, groups of beauties, countless cattle and sheep, endless horse milk and wine, and endless jerky.

"If you don't work hard, they will kill you, have your wives and children, they will ravage your wives, they will sell your children, ask your children to be slaves, and give them whips like animals; they will occupy your ranch, they will squander your gold and silver, they will do what you have done on your beautiful breasts, and they will insult your dignity as men; they will pour your horse milk wine into the stinky ditch, and they will feed your jerky meat to the wild wolf, and they will say you are the eagles that cannot fly!"

Kublai Khan is worthy of being an excellent orator whom he speaks. Once the call shows that his opponent is rich, he will get their property and beauty if he defeats his opponent. If he defeats his opponent, he will have nothing or a small matter, and death is not a big matter. What is unacceptable is that he will not be peaceful after death, he will be insulted, and will be called "an unflying eagle". This matter cannot be accepted by any means. The soldiers raised their heads and pressed their hands on the hilt of the knife.

The soldiers who agitated Kublai Khan would never have thought that he was telling lies. Outside the city was the real Southern Song army, there was no pasture at all, there were groups of beauties, countless cattle and sheep, and the gold piled up in the mountains.

"Genghis Khan's descendants, use the eagle to prove that you are strong!" Kublai Khan shouted passionately, "Leave failure and humiliation to the enemy! Leave victory and glory to yourself!"

The Mongolians had a tradition of duels. Not only could the defeated side kill the defeated side, but they could also own everything, including his wife and children. "Using the eagle's method" to solve the problem, Kublai Khan once again concealed the truth and turned a real war into a duel between the Mongols.

King Chu shot Liu Bang in the chest, but Liu Bang touched his foot and said that he shot him on the toe to stabilize the morale of the army. This is already a very famous lie in history. Compared with Kublai Khan's lies at this time, he may only be a small witch, which is far too late. If Liu Bang, an emperor who is famous for his good lies and good lies, would have made confusing things happen in the spring, Kublai Khan would be better than him, and I wonder what he would think?

A long time later, the Mongolian soldiers who participated in this "duel" recalled, "To be honest, if I knew that the army of wolves and tigers was the Xuanjiao cavalry of the Southern Dynasty, I would have ten or hundreds of courage to fight and kill. The Xuanjiao cavalry was a nightmare for us, and it was even more terrible than the evil wolf on the grassland. I would rather not have gold than fight and kill with them. The emperor could really brag about it. It was obviously a Southern Dynasty army, but it was told to him that it was the Qixue Corps, and we had to solve it in our own way. I did not doubt at all at the time. Not only did I doubt, but other people did not doubt. We fought the Xuanjiao cavalry in a confused manner."

Listening to the roars coming from the city, the roars were more and more exciting. Zhao Qian knew that he believed that Sainuo had helped Kublai Khan, so he should make a quick decision and launch an attack immediately. Otherwise, the longer the time, the higher the enthusiasm Kublai Khan would be. With a wave of his hand, a shocking cry sounded: "Kill all the Tartars! Capture Kublai Khan alive!"

This sound is like thousands of sounds of thunder, and it goes straight to the clouds.

The Mongolians themselves would not call themselves Tartars, nor would they call Kublai Khan's name directly. The Mongolian soldiers began to hesitate. Kublai Khan knew that this question must give the answer to the soldiers' satisfaction. He stood on the top of the city and said, "Saiyinnuo, you are very good at imitating the Southern Dynasty Xuanjia Cavalry, I am very satisfied! After you pass my test, you can go to Lin'an to capture the emperor of the Southern Dynasty back to me!"

Sending troops to Lin'an to capture the emperor of the Southern Dynasty is a true sense of breaking into the dragon's and tiger's den. All aspects should be considered, and even the most inconspicuous details should not be left out. These Mongolian soldiers who defended the imperial city were elites selected from the entire army. They all have high military qualities and understand the importance of being realistic, so they no longer doubt it.

If this is the case, Kublai Khan's keen insight cannot be reflected. He once again said forward-lookingly: "Your task this time is very arduous, and the confrontation must be realistic. You treat me as the emperor of the Southern Dynasty and shoot arrows on me!"

As soon as the battle started, Zhao Qian and the others would definitely shoot arrows at Kublai Khan. If the Qixue Corps had the courage to shoot arrows at him, even if he had the courage, his lies would be a little difficult to fulfill. Kublai Khan said that, and then Zhao Qian and the others would shoot arrows at Kublai Khan, which would naturally become "ordered" to shoot arrows.

Although this approach is too bold and too unbelievable, it is better to wear lies than to slap lies.
