Chapter 2723 Kublai designed to eliminate Maodun, the three coalition forces of the Sui, Qiang, Tubo


    Chapter 2720: Kublai Khan designed to eliminate Maodun, and the three coalition forces of the Sui, Qiang, Tubo


    In the previous civil war between Yuan and Mongolia, under the intervention of the Qin Dynasty, Yuan and Mongolia suffered heavy losses, but they still failed to solve the great trouble of Maodun. Even if the Qin Dynasty declared war on the four countries, Yuan and Mongolia could only recover their cultivation and did nothing, and could not do anything.


    Kublai Khan knew that this battle of the Qin Dynasty was crucial. Once he won, he would never have any force to stop the Qin Dynasty from completing unification.


    Kublai Khan naturally wanted to intervene, but Yuan Meng, who had not yet recovered, was neither power nor dared to interfere anymore.


    Because he didn''t know whether the Qin Dynasty, who was trying his best on the surface, secretly told me if there were any other hidden powers in the field. If there were any, then the Sui Kingdom''s today would be the Yuan Meng''s tomorrow.


    Kublai Khan did not lack the courage to take all his might, but his teammate of the Qing Dynasty was really bad, and Yuan Meng could no longer afford to lose, so he could only secretly stumbling to the Qin Dynasty to delay the Qin Dynasty''s unification.


    Yuan Meng really couldn''t afford to offend Daqin, but he didn''t offend Daqin either. As for Yelu Shilu, he was a traitor to Dayuan. It has nothing to do with Dayuan when he was against Daqin.


    It was precisely with this idea that Kublai Khan deliberately let Yelu Shilu go, because he would inevitably stand in the hostile face of the Qin Dynasty after his return.


    “Yelu Chucai, the plan to behead Maodun is to be implemented quickly.


    I have a vague premonition in my heart that the Sui Kingdom is probably about to be in disaster, and the Wei, Song and Ming dynasties cannot last long.


    Our Dayuan must completely resolve Maodun, complete unification, and then develop westward before the Daqin completely occupied the Central Plains. Only in this way can there be a glimmer of hope. "Kublai said to Yelu Chucai with a serious look on his face.


    "Yes, I will definitely live up to Your Majesty''s expectations. I will definitely die this time, otherwise I will commit suicide and apologize." Yelu Chucai promised.


    While the Qin Dynasty was making preparations for unification, Yuan Meng on the grassland was not idle either.


    Previously, in order to completely unify the Yuan Meng, Kublai Khan did not hesitate to ignore the warning of the Qin Dynasty and blatantly attacked Maodun. As a result, with the direct intervention of the Qin Dynasty, he was beaten and suffered heavy losses.


    It has only been more than a year since Yuan Meng''s crushing defeat, so it is naturally impossible to recover so quickly.


    But even so, Kublai Khan still decided to touch the bottom line of the Qin Dynasty again, because he knew that this might be Yuan Meng''s last chance. If he missed this time, Yuan Meng would probably never have another chance of unification.


    Now the war between the east and west sides of the Qin Dynasty, the Eighth Route Army on the Eastern Front fought against the Wei, Song and Ming dynasties, and the Four Route Army on the Western Front fought against the Sui, Qiang and Tubo, and dispatched more than one million troops.


    Although Kublai Khan didn''t know how much power the Qin Dynasty was hiding, he knew that the Qin Dynasty must have something to reserve, because his cheap uncle Ying Hao was never a person who left no room for nothing, and he would always keep a trump card.


    But no matter how much power the Qin Dynasty still hides, what are the trump card that has not yet been played? But for Yuan Meng, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for unification.


    The Qin Dynasty is now going to war with the Wei, Song, Ming, Sui, Qiang and Tubo at the same time. The stalls are too big and they are naturally more considered. We must retain some of our strength to deal with the variables that may occur.


    Therefore, even if the Qin Dynasty really has spare energy, it is impossible to use its limited spare energy to interfere with the internal affairs of Yuan and Mongolia.


    This opportunity for Yuan Meng is not only a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but also the last opportunity for unification.


    Once the Qin Dynasty completely occupied the Central Plains, destroyed the Wei, Song and Ming dynasties, and expelled the Sui Kingdom, they would be able to interfere in the internal affairs of Yuan and Meng at any time in the future, and the Yuan and Meng would really be unable to complete unification again.


    Therefore, even though he knew that the risk of touching the bottom line of the Qin Dynasty was very high, Kublai Khan still decided to take a gamble.


    Kublai Khan was not sure about dealing with the Qin Dynasty, so he did not dare to gamble.


    But in terms of internal unification, even if he is not sure, he will give all of it, because this is really the last chance.


    Since his father Tuole gave the Yuan Kingdom to him, he could not let Yuan Meng continue to kill each other and eventually end up destroying himself in endless internal strife.


    Therefore, the Yuan and Mongolia must be unified, and Kublai Khan will do whatever it takes to do.


    "Maoton, no one will come to help you again this time, you will die this time."


    Kublai Khan''s eyes were full of murderous intent and he had already set a dead end for Maodun, and the executor was Yelu Chucai.


    As long as Maodun can be successfully killed this time, even if there are military officials who can take over his position, they will not be able to replace Maodun in terms of military command. At that time, the Yuan and Meng army will definitely easily defeat Maodun''s forces.


    Kublai Khan planned to kill Maodun and unify Yuan Meng, and Yelu Deguang recalled the fugitives to restore the country. While they were planning for their own ambitions, Lun Qinling finally came down from the plateau with 100,000 Tubo troops.


    —————


    Xining County, Xining City.


    After Meng Tian relied on the surprise attack and captured Xining City, he was still a little worried. After all, the troops he brought were too few, and the situation inside Xining City was very complicated. The Han and Qiang people lived in harmony. Meng Tian didn''t know how many of them would fight back.


    If Yang Xingmi takes a desperate gamble and comes to attack the city without hesitation of casualties, Meng Tian is really not sure to defend Xining.


    Fortunately, Yang Xingmi was shocked by Meng Tian''s reputation and the number of Qin troops in the south. Without knowing the virtuality and reality of Xining City, he believed that the strong attack could not be opened to Daxing, so he simply withdrew his troops and waited for the Tubo reinforcements to arrive before fighting with the Qin army.


    Yang Xingmi and Yang Xiong''s voluntary withdrawal gave Meng Tian the opportunity to sort out all forces in Xining and completely build Xining into an iron barrel. The biggest problem in integrating Xining City is to prevent the Han and Qiang people from making trouble in the city.


    The Han people are easy to resolve. After all, for them, the dispute between Qin and Sui Dynasty was just a civil war between the Han people. No matter who wins and who loses in the end, they just need to stand on the side of the winner.


    The Qiang people are more difficult to deal with.


    The day after Yang Xingmi withdrew his troops, three Qiang family heads, representing more than a dozen Qiang families in the city, came together to meet Meng Tian and ask the Qin Dynasty to give the Qiang people the same status as the Han people.


    For the Qiang people in Xining City, there is no essential difference between under the rule of the Sui State and under the rule of the Qin State. Anyway, they are all ruled by the Han people. It is better to take the initiative to come to fight for their own interests while the Qin army has not completely occupied Haizhou.


    As long as Meng Tian nodded and agreed, he would get the support of the Qiang people in the whole city, and there would be tens of thousands of Qiang people fighting for the Qin army, and the Qiang people would also convince several cities around Xining to surrender.


    Although Meng Tian captured Xining City, he did not completely occupy Xining County.


    There are twelve counties in Xining County. Meng Tian’s purpose directly cut off the passage to Daxing. To achieve this goal, only three counties were occupied, so the remaining 90% were returned to the hands of the Sui State.


    The Qiang people offered generous conditions, and they were both giving away people and the city. Meng Tian naturally wanted to agree, but he could not do this because he could not make the decision at all.


    The Qin soldiers are not allowed to interfere in politics, and politicians are not allowed to interfere in the army. They have their own rules and regulations for the management of foreign races.


    If Meng Tian agreed without permission, he would have passed the matter and would definitely be severely punished. Therefore, he politely declined the representative of the Qiang people who came to ask for a meeting on the grounds that he was unrighteous in this matter.


    Although Meng Tian refused, he did not say anything. Instead, he also said that if the Qiang people were willing to take the initiative to help, the Qin Dynasty would definitely not forget their contributions. He would also write to the court in his personal capacity to fight for the rights and interests of the Qiang people.


    There are few people who are educated among the Qiang people, and most of them are short-sighted, so Meng Tian’s words are like fools in their eyes.


    Meng Tian didn''t say anything, and refused to make a vow, without any guarantee, so he wanted them to beat them to death for the Qin Dynasty. This was a naked desire to get a job for them for free.


    The Qiang people naturally didn''t do it, and Meng Tian didn''t force it. After all, he had a total of 80,000 troops. It was actually the same if there were these Qiang people.


    But just as Meng Tian actively arranged defenses to prepare for the next fight against the Tubo army, he suddenly received news that Yang Guang had implemented the Qiang order in Haizhou and took the initiative to help the Qiang forces form an army.


    Meng Tian is not a pure martial artist. His political attributes are 80 points. Naturally, he knows what the Sui State and the Qiang people mean by introducing the Jie Qiang Order means that the Sui State will have a large number of more Qiang soldiers in the short term.


    The Sui State originally had 70,000 troops in Haizhou, and the 100,000 reinforcements from Tubo were almost here. The 170,000 Sui and Tu coalition forces alone made Meng Tian feel like he was facing a great enemy, but he did not expect that he would face an unknown number of Qiang troops again.


    Meng Tian did not dare to be careless at all, and quickly informed Li Jing from Daxing about the situation in Haizhou through Feige''s letter.


    Li Jing was still curious that after the four Qins came out together to form a trapped dragon, the Sui Kingdom had no reaction at all. Is Yang Guang unable to find out his trapped dragon, and was ready to surrender in despair?


    Li Jing didn''t know what Yang Guang was thinking, and even if he knew, he wouldn''t care. No matter what Yang Guang did, he would continue.


    During this period, Li Jing had been making arrangements outside Daxing City, digging trenches, building a city of earth, and erecting a mountain of earth, making it difficult for the Sui army in the city to think of it, as if he wanted to completely trap the Sui army in the city.


    In addition, the Qin army''s offensive against Wuwei County is still continuing.


    After capturing Xianmei City, Long Qi personally led 40,000 troops to guard Xianmei to block Gao Huan''s 70,000 Sui army. At the same time, he sent his younger brother Long Yang to lead 30,000 troops to attack Wuwei County from the west.


    Under Li Jing''s order, Li Maozhen also led 30,000 Qin troops to attack Wuwei County from east to west.


    Although the ten cities of the Sui Dynasty belonged to Wuwei County were built into a piece of iron and easy to defend but difficult to attack, they inevitably exposed their flaws when facing the attacks of the Qin army from both sides.


    At present, more than half of the ten counties in the western part of Wuwei in the Sui Dynasty have been captured by the Qin army one after another. I think they will all fall into the hands of the Qin army soon.


    If that is true, Daxing City will completely become an isolated city.


    In contrast, the Qin army was able to liberate 60,000 troops to support Longji to the west or Meng Tian to the south.


    But what Li Jing did not expect was that Yang Guang had no movement on the surface, but secretly he used a big move and actually launched the Qiang Ling, directly lifting all bans on the Qiang people.


    In this regard, even Li Jing had to admit that he was a little disgusted with Yang Guang.


    Li Jing originally thought that Yang Guang was jealous of his own and had little profit when encountering big things, and he was a monarch who was afraid of his head and lacked courage, but he did not expect that he would dare to take a gamble when he was forced to do so.


    But what Yang Guang lamented was the health of others. He used the achievements of the Han people in the past century to govern the Qiang, just to renew the Sui Kingdom for a while, which was indeed a bit too ignorant of the general idea.


    "Yang Guang, how dare you, how dare you?"


    After learning that Yang Guang had introduced the Qiang Order, not only Huaxiong and Li Jue, but also the generals from Liangzhou who were born in Guandong were all furious and roared to Li Jing to ask for the orders, demanding to attack Daxing and capture Yang Guang alive.


    Even Li Mu, who has always been known for his calmness, had anger on his face at this time, and he cursed in a cold voice: "Yang Guang, you deserve to die."


    Li Mu was not only a native of Liangzhou, but also a personal participant in the Battle of Destroying the Qiang. He knew very well how much the Han people paid to conquer the Qiang people.


    That was obtained by countless Liangzhou people over the past hundred years with their lives, but after success, they were ruined by Yang Guang, which also made Li Mu angry like never before.
