Chapter 54: The two kings waved against each other and hit each other with three slaps
Lian Jun led hundreds of riders out of the siege and wanted to return to the east, but it is estimated that the sea has set up a plan to encircle and annihilate it, and there must be obstacles. Moreover, Kublai formerly competed for the throne with his younger brother Ali Buge, and won thanks to the assistance of the Han army. For this reason, he treated the Han people well, and even the highest official position, Zhongshu You Pingzhang, was held by the Han people. However, after Kublai Khan became emperor and sat down in the country, he began to gradually weaken the authority of the Han people. This is already a big trend. Especially after the destruction of the Southern Song Dynasty and the unification of China three years ago, the Han people were more excluded by the Mongolians and the lustful people. Even Zhang Hongfan, the first contributor to the destruction of Song, could not get an additional official. As a Han man, Lian Jun knew that this general trend was irreversible. Even if he could return to the Yuan Dynasty alive, he would be severely investigated! If it is light, it will be imprisoned, and if it is heavy, it will be the head!
Ren Jun thought left and right, but there was really no way out. Suddenly, I remembered my old acquaintance Li Ditu. I heard that he is now an official in Yanhan, and his official position is not small. Li Tu was once ostracized by Zhang Hongfan's father Zhang Rou at the most dangerous time. At that time, it was Lian Jun who helped her say good words, and Zhang Rou did not ask for Li Tu's life. Because of such a source, Lian Jun did not flee to the east, but led the remnants to the west to defect to Yan Han.
Sun also failed to attack Haidu, and almost the whole army was destroyed. The news spread to most of the capital, and the court of the Yuan Dynasty was shocked. Ahma took the opportunity to put the blame on the person who attacked him, saying that he was right to postpone the dispatch of troops. Those people ignored the country and were responsible for the defeat of the war. Kublai Khan felt reasonable and demeaned a group of ministers.
Ahema said again, "I recommend Lord Ashu as a general, and he will definitely defeat Haidu."
Ashu is a very close general of Kublai Khan. As early as 20 years ago, Kublai Khan fought with Kublai when he was ordered by Mongol Khan to take Dali. Kublai felt that Ah Ma's recommendation was very pertinent and asked A Shu, "Are you willing to share your worries for me?"
A Shu agreed and was ordered to go to Shaanxi and Gansu to mobilized troops from all walks of Mongolia and Han to prepare for the attack on the sea capital.
Ahema said to Ashu in private, "Your Excellency, you are brave and resourceful, dominate the world, and have no opponent! This time, as long as there is sufficient armaments, it will be able to defeat Haidu steadily. The servant recommended several people to supervise the construction of military weapons and be responsible for urging the transportation of grain and fodder, so as to do a little help for adults. The dog of the lower official also hopes to get the honor of the adult, and the adult can drive it at will.
Ashu was overjoyed, that is, the person recommended by Ahma played to Kublai Khan. Kublai trusted Ashu, waved his pen, and appointed all these people. Therefore, Hu Xin, the son of Ahma, who was previously dismissed due to corruption, only stayed at home for a while, and now he is fat again.
A spy ambushed in the capital city and hurried back to report to Haidu when he heard the news. Haidu was quite afraid when he heard that the Yuan Dynasty was led by the invincible general Ashu. He was worried that no general could compete with him, so he had to do his best to fight against him. Unexpectedly, Ashu soon died of illness. It seems that the most powerful general is Death! The Yuan Dynasty's attack on the sea capital was put on hold for the time being. These are the last words.
Because Zhao Jin traveled to China, there seemed to be some subtle changes in the Yuan Dynasty. For example, Zhang Hongfan, who originally met Kublai Khan after the destruction of the Southern Song Dynasty, soon died; somehow, he survived in this world. Is it because Zhao Jin had a fight with Zhang Hongfan's men in the mountain, causing a chain reaction? Or is it because Zhao Jin had a "comfamiability" with Ahima in Dadu, which indirectly led to some changes in Zhang Hongfan's court? The mystery of this is unknown. In short, Zhang Hongfan is not dead. After the destruction of the Song Dynasty, there were continuous uprisings every year. In 1283 alone, there were more than 200 uprisings of Han and Miao ethnic groups in Jiangnan! Zhang Hongfan did not die, so he returned to the south and suppressed the uprising everywhere.
Besides, Zhao Yu and Hai are at the same time. At this time, Haidu had just received the news of a complete victory between his two sons and two generals. He laughed and sent an envoy to the Han camp to meet Zhao Jin and said that he would sign a covenant.
At this time, the Han army was heavily guarded and waiting for the night. Zhao Jin sent a strong horse to explore the battle between the Haidu Army and the Yuan Army. At this time, he also knew the news that the Haidu Army defeated the Yuan Army. Well, in case of a large-scale invasion by the Haidu army, Zhao Jin decided to retreat - anyway, the troops brought are all fast-moving arms.
However, Haidu did not intend to wave his master to invade, but sent messengers to agree to the alliance, asking that the two monarchs would meet in the middle zone with 30 horses.
Zhao Jin couldn't help frowning and thinking about Haidu's plan. Think about it again, is a man still afraid that he won't be able to do it? There is a painting halberd and a BMW. If you meet, you will meet. If anything happens, you will be random! So Zhao Jin stretched his eyebrows and laughed. He agreed on a time and place with the messenger and sent the messenger back.
Kuo Gan always felt that the sea could not be trusted, and once again advised Zhao Jin not to go forward. Zhao Jin thought, "I can't go anyway. If you don't go, you will show weakness, and if you show weakness, you will be beaten. All my efforts now are to coexist peacefully with Haidu and buy time to develop national strength. How can I be timid at the door? Besides, I made an appointment for the time and place - I have an appointment tomorrow morning, and I don't have time to make tricks!" Thinking so, there is no need to say this to the rich and Gan. As long as you show her the masculinity, Zhao Jin smiled and said, "Haidu is cunning. Don't worry, he won't hurt me."
So the next day, Zhao Jin selected 30 riders, including He Pan, Li Qingxi, Xu Yu, Ye Li Huazhen, Gan Ba Su, etc., and went to the meeting. He also ordered Qi Jin, Kuo Gan and others to lead 3,000 men and prepare to meet 30 miles away from the meeting place; ordered Yan Shizhong, Dai Degong and others to guard the camp; ordered the horse to report news from time to time and explore the horse everywhere to be alert.
Prepare everything, Zhao Jin jumped over the horse and went there proudly.
The monarchs of the two countries meet. Zhao Jin saw that the sea was red, his eyes were shining, and his body was very strong. Haidu also looked at Zhao Jin. The two got off their horses, sat on the ground, and raised their glasses to say joy.
This meeting is not long. Haidu has nothing to say to Zhao Jin, and Zhao Jin doesn't want to expose himself too much - more words will be lost. So both of them smiled and laughed from time to time. They drank a few glasses of wine with Yu Juezi and simply ate some barbecue, that is, to negotiate a peace treaty. The two delined their sphere of influence, agreed to make peace from now on, not invade each other, and send envoys to greet each other every year to promote non-governmental trade. After finishing, three high-fives, it's a promise.
Zhao Jin wants Haidu to guarantee a specific time that will not invade each other, such as five years, and he also wants to sign a written treaty. But if you bring it up, you are afraid that you will be ridiculed by the sea that you are not straightforward and sincere enough. Haidu himself doesn't know words at all, and promises are always verbal promises. Zhao Jin thought about it over and over again, and finally did it according to the same set of Haidu.
After the alliance, the two sides led each other. Zhao Jin returned to the camp, breathed a sigh of relief, ordered to withdraw from the village, and still be careful of sneak attacks all the way. Until the Han army retreated into Cangling Pass, they did not find anything abnormal in the Haidu army. Instead, Lian Jun led hundreds of horses to defect, which made the Han army unexpected and a false alarm.
Zhao Jin learned that Lian Jun was a general of the Yuan Dynasty and an old friend of Li Tu. Now he had no way to come and fled. He was overjoyed and personally paid accounts to welcome him. Lianjun and his hands were hungry and their skin was blue with cold. Zhao Jin untied his robe and asked the sergeant to send wine and meat to express his condolences.
Lian Jun was very grateful and said, "Your Majesty is so kind to meet a villain, and the villain is unforgettable!"
Zhao Jin smiled and said, "Please get up quickly! The rules in our country are different. The etiquette is simple, and it is generally not called 'Your Majesty', ha. When you get used to it, you will understand.
It turned out that after Zhao Jin became king, Zhong Wenwu should have called "Your Majesty", but many people followed the title of "Lord" during the general period and got used to it. Especially for generals, many people don't even know the word "bi" at all. Zhao Jin ordered not to be called "Your Majesty" for simplicity, but to use the popular "Lord" and "King". As for kneeling, Zhao Jin is not used to it until now. It is stipulated that the ministers of the Yan Han Dynasty do not have to kneel down three times when they go to the court, and the folk kneeling ceremony is often simplified.
From then on, Lian Jun has been an official in Yanhan. Zhao Jin talked with Lian Jun and found that he was proficient in martial arts. It was estimated that he was not under the strength of Li Tu and Qi, and he was very happy. But Lian Jun's temperament is not very straightforward, and he doesn't get along well with Zhao Jin. Zhao Jin thought to himself, "It doesn't matter. As a king, it is impossible to talk to all the ministers. As long as you can measure, you can use people. So Zhao Jin promoted Lian Jun exceptionally and was listed in * as a general of Wuwei.
Let's talk about Haidu. After Haidu collected his troops and returned to the capital Samarkand, Prince Ba La, Saban, and the generals Cha Batei and Galatai led the victorious people who annihilated the Yuan army to meet.
Kong Wu's powerful eldest son of the concubine shouted, "Dahan, if I follow, I will definitely kill the king of Han on the spot!"
The legitimate son Saban, who is more educated and famous, also said, "Why do you want to be friendly with the little Yanhan? In my opinion, if we defeat the Yuan Dynasty, we should fight to the West and calm the Han Dynasty!"
"What do you kids know?" Haidu touched the top of his head and smiled proudly: "Although I don't even know the words, I'm a strategic genius. You have to learn more and think more. Although the Yuan Dynasty was defeated, it was powerful and had many good generals. You can't destroy the 20,000 to 30,000 people, which can't hurt the bones of the Yuan Dynasty. Why don't I want to destroy Yan Han? But Yan Han is not an easily destroyed country, and I have seen it clearly. Now that our country has just calmed down its internal problems and slightly relieved external problems, we need to rest and accumulate strength.
Haidu sweated his words, and the generals nodded repeatedly. The two princes were convinced and stopped talking.
Haidu smiled at the big decision-off officer Ma Si and said, "Ma Si, you have to manage your internal affairs well for me. Don't eat inside and outside like some ministers in the Yuan Dynasty!"
When Ma Si first heard the previous sentence, he was flattered; when he heard the last sentence, he looked embarrassed. The generals burst into laughter. It turned out that Mas was a sex man and a fellow countryman of Ahma. Because Semu people are good at financial management and know how to manage cities, they often hold internal political positions in Mongolian countries. However, although Ma Si's official position is high, he is not respected by Mongolian generals. Now the sweat took the lead in laughing, and the generals laughed unscrupulously. Mace felt very cowardly, but there was nothing he could do.
