Chapter 1671 The Death of Tolei (Class)
Chapter 1669: The Death of Tolei (Central)
In the Battle of Hetao two years ago, Yuan Meng was defeated by the Qin army, not only losing nearly one million soldiers and civilians, but also breaking his backbone. Faced with the Qin army''s beginning to become humble, and gradually there was a tendency to never stand up again.
Since then, two major factions have emerged in the Yuan and Mongolian Empire, doves and hawks.
Doves, advocates restoration, restoration, and living in peace with the Qin army.
The hawks advocate not forgetting the national humiliation. After their strength is restored, they may encounter a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to avenge the late emperor and wash away the shame.
The doves and hawks in Yuanmeng checked and balanced each other and promoted each other. In general, they were in a relatively balanced state.
But after the signing of the Treaty of Jinyang, Yuan Meng was invaded by the Qing Dynasty. Although he defeated the Qing Dynasty with all his national strength, he also lost all his remaining family fortune.
At this point, Yuan Meng was completely defeated. Even after two years of rest and rest, his national strength had not recovered much, and he barely reached one-half of the level before the Battle of Hetao.
In comparison, after two years of rest and recuperation, the Qin army not only recovered the trauma of the Battle of Hetao, but also took a step further in strength.
The Crown Prince of the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan, witnessed the rapid development of Qin in the past two years of being a hostage in Qin State, and informed Longcheng of all the experiences and hearings of Qin State through letters.
Of course, Qin Hao knew about this, but he did not stop it. His purpose was to use Kublai Khan''s hand to hit the hawks in the Yuan and Mongolian countries that hated the Qin army.
As Qin Hao expected, the Yuan Meng court was frightened when he learned about it. After all, when the Yuan Meng national strength was at its peak, they were not the opponent of the Qin army. Now the Qin army''s strength has become stronger. How can it be possible to cleanse the national humiliation?
The strength and prosperity of the Qin army shocked the arrogance of the Yuanmeng hawks, allowing the doves to defeat the hawks, live in peace with the Qin State, and became the mainstream will of the Yuanmeng court.
The hawks led by Maodun were mostly important officials during the Temujin period. They were deeply influenced by Temujin''s thoughts and despised the Han people from the bottom of their hearts.
Therefore, although the hawks were defeated by the doves, they were unwilling to fail, so they all lie dormant and wait for the opportunity.
Finally, 500,000 Qin troops fought in Hebei, and 450,000 troops from the Southern Han Dynasty divided into five groups to attack Qin, allowing the hawks in the Yuan and Meng to see the opportunity to defeat the Qin army''s national humiliation.
Prairie, Longcheng, and in the main hall of Yuanmeng Palace.
"Your Majesty, the main force of the 500,000 Qin army is now trapped in Hebei and cannot be transferred back in a short period of time, but the 450,000 Southern Han army has attacked."
Mao Dun''s eyes were full of excitement and he said excitedly: "Now it is my Dayuan who is going south to defeat the Qin army and wash away the national humiliation."
The Qin army started a war with the Han and Han dynasties at the same time, which not only made the Yuan and Meng hawks intend to act, but even the doves were a little ready to move.
But the people in the dove faction were afraid of being beaten by the Qin army. Not to mention that the Qin army has not yet fallen into decline, even if it is really in danger, they do not have the courage to draw the sword against the Qin army.
Maodun''s "misleading the country" remarks naturally encountered opposition from a number of doves, but Maodun didn''t care about this. In his eyes, the views of these people were not important, as long as Emperor Yuan supported him.
Tuo Lei was extremely entangled. As the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, he certainly wanted to defeat the Qin army and wipe out the national humiliation of the defeat in Hetao, but in his current position, there were many issues to consider.
It is impossible for Tolei to rashly step on Qin just because Qin was caught in a battle on two fronts and had not yet shown any defeat.
In this case, it would be great if you win, but if you lose again, then when Qin recovers, Yuan Meng will really be destroyed. In addition, what made Tolei most difficult to make up his mind was that he regarded as Yuan Meng''s hope and was still hostage in Luoyang, Kublai Khan.
If Yuan Meng tore up the contract and start a war with Qin, Kublai Khan would definitely be killed by the Qin army. He is Tolei''s only son, and the next Yuan Meng emperor, Tolei naturally couldn''t bear to leave.
Therefore, before Kublai Khan returned to China, Tolei decided not to start the war against Qin easily.
"What Brother Wang said is reasonable, but now is a great opportunity, but..."
Hearing Tuolei say this, Maodun smiled immediately, but then Tuolei''s "but" immediately made him feel some bad premonition.
"After all, the Qin army has not been defeated, and its troops have not been greatly damaged. If the Northern Han Dynasty cannot withstand it and our army sends troops, wouldn''t it completely offend the Qin army?"
As he said that, a light flashed in Tuole''s eyes and he smiled faintly: "It is not safe to send troops at this time. According to my opinion, you might as well sit in the mountain and watch the tiger fight first.
In this battle between the Qin army and the Han Dynasty, if the Qin army wins, I, Yuan Meng, will continue to lie dormant and accumulate strength. If the Qin army is defeated, I, Yuan Meng, will go up and make up for it and clean up the national humiliation. It is completely time for me, and this is the best of both worlds. ”
"This, but..."
Maodun wanted to refute, but before he could say anything, all the civil and military officials in the court said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise."
Seeing this scene, Maodun knew that it was impossible to do so at this time, so he could only hold back and wait for the opportunity.
Seeing this, Tolei gave Murong Ke below a wink. Murong Ke immediately understood and stood up and said, "Your Majesty, in order to prevent the war from beginning, the Qin army used the prince as the magistrate to threaten the Yuan Dynasty. The last general suggested that Prince Kublai be brought back immediately."
Tuo Lei nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "What the General said is reasonable. Since that is the case, Yelu Chucai will send you to Luoyang to inform the Luoyang court of justice.
Just say that Empress Dayuan was critically ill and asked Kublai Khan to return to his country to visit him for filial piety. The Han Dynasty governed the country with benevolence and filial piety. I think it would not be rejected. ”
"No." Yelu Chucai responded.
Because the Qin army started a war with the Han Dynasty at the same time, Yuan Meng was ready to move. On the one hand, he actively prepared for the war, while on the other hand, he wanted to take back the prince Kublai Khan, but the final result exceeded everyone''s expectations.
"Report to Your Majesty, Qin general Li Jing defeated Wang Mang''s six vassal coalition forces in Beihai."
"Report... Li Jing annihilated more than 150,000 enemies. After the great victory, he has now led his troops to Jizhou and attacked the Julu Lianpo with Su Lie''s army. Zhao State is in danger."
"Alas, there are so many famous generals in Qin."
Tuo Lei sighed helplessly. He also wanted to attack Qin and clean up the national humiliation, but Yuan Meng could not stand the trouble. Before the Qin army was defeated, he really did not dare to send troops.
However, in the face of the two Han dynasties, the Qin army not only did not fall into decline at all, but instead fought all directions on the battlefield in Hebei. Seeing that the Northern Han was about to be defeated, how could Tolei dare to send troops to attack Qin?
"Report... Report to Your Majesty, Lord Yelu is back."
Hearing this, Torei immediately showed joy: "Come on your behalf."
?The first time the guaranteed minimum is up. I was delayed yesterday and there was no update. I will definitely make up for it today.
