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

In the previous civil war between Yuan and Meng, Yuan Meng suffered heavy losses under the intervention of Da Qin, but still failed to solve the big problem of Mao Dun, so that even if Da Qin declared war on the four countries, Yuan Meng could only cultivate and recover, and dared not do anything. Do, also can't do anything.

Kublai Khan knew that this battle of Daqin was very important. Once he won, there would be no power to stop Daqin from completing his unification.

Kublai Khan naturally wanted to intervene, but Yuan Meng, who had not yet recovered, was powerless and did not dare to intervene anymore.

Because he didn't know whether Daqin, who was trying his best on the surface, had any other hidden powers in the dark. If there were any, then Sui's today would be Yuanmeng's tomorrow.

Kublai Khan didn't have the courage to put all his eggs in one basket, but Manqing's teammate was really pulling his hips, and Yuan Meng couldn't afford to lose, so he could only secretly trip up Daqin's envoy to delay Daqin uniform pace.

Yuan Meng really couldn't offend Da Qin, but he didn't offend Da Qin either. As for Yelu Shilu, he is a traitor of Da Yuan, and it has nothing to do with Da Yuan if he goes against Da Qin.

It was with this thought that Kublai Khan deliberately let Yelu Shilu go, because he would inevitably stand on the opposite side of Daqin after his return.

"Yelu Chucai, the plan to behead Maodun must be carried out quickly.

I have a vague premonition in my heart that the Sui Kingdom may be in a catastrophe, and the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming will not be able to hold on for too long.

My Dayuan must completely solve Maodun before Daqin completely occupies the Central Plains, complete the unification, and then develop westward. Only in this way can there be a glimmer of life. Kublai Khan said to Yelu Chucai with a solemn face.

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

When Daqin was making various preparations for unification, Yuan Meng on the grassland was not idle.

In order to completely unify Yuanmeng before, Kublai Khan ignored Daqin's warning and blatantly attacked Maodun. As a result, Daqin directly sent troops to intervene, and suffered heavy losses.

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

But even so, Kublai Khan still decided to touch Daqin's bottom line again, because he knew that this might be Yuanmeng's last chance. If he missed this time, Yuanmeng might really have no chance to unify again.

Now the Great Qin is fighting on the east and west fronts, the eight armies on the east front confront the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming, and the four armies on the west front single-handedly challenge the Sui, Qiang and Tubo. More than 110 million troops have been mobilized.

Although Kublai Khan didn't know how much power Daqin was hiding, he knew that Daqin must still have some reservations, because his cheap uncle Ying Hao was never a person who left no room for it, and would always keep a hole card.

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

Daqin is now at war with Wei, Song, Ming, Sui, Qiang, and Tubo at the same time. The stall is too big, and naturally there are more considerations. We must reserve some strength to deal with possible variables.
Therefore, even if Daqin really has spare power, it is impossible to use the limited spare power to interfere in Yuanmeng's internal affairs.

For Yuan Meng, this opportunity is not only a rare opportunity for unification, but also the last chance for unification.

Once the Great Qin completely occupied the Central Plains, destroyed Wei, Song and Ming, and expelled the Sui Kingdom, they would be able to intervene in the internal affairs of Yuan and Mongolia at any time in the future, and Yuan and Mongolia would really never be able to complete the unification.

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

In terms of dealing with Daqin, Kublai Khan was not sure, so he didn't dare to put all his eggs in one basket

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

Since his father Tuo Lei handed over the Yuan Kingdom to him, he couldn't let Yuan Meng continue to kill each other, and finally kill himself in the endless internal fighting.

Therefore, Yuan and Mongolia must be unified, for which Kublai Khan will spare no effort.

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

Kublai Khan murmured to himself with killing intent in his eyes, he had already set up a deadly situation for Mao Dun, and the executor was Yelu Chucai.

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

Kublai Khan planned to kill Maodun to unify Yuanmeng, and Yelu Deguang recalled the fugitive faction to restore the country. When they were all planning for their own ambitions, Lun Qinling finally came down from the plateau with [-] Tubo troops.

Xining County, Xining City.

After Meng Tian captured Xining City by surprise attack, he was still a little worried. After all, he had too few troops, and the internal situation in Xining City was very complicated. The Han and Qiang peoples were mixed, and Meng Tian didn't know how many of them were there. will fight back

In case Yang Xingmi put all his eggs in one basket and came to attack the city without hesitating casualties, Meng Tian really didn't have absolute confidence in defending Xining.

But fortunately, Yang Xingmi was overwhelmed by Meng Tian's prestige and the number of Qin troops on the South Road. Without knowing the real situation in Xining City, he thought that the passage to Daxing would be impossible by force, so he simply withdrew his troops and waited for the reinforcements from Tubo to arrive. After that, come to fight Qin Jun again.

Yang Xingmi and Yang Xiong's voluntary withdrawal gave Meng Tian the opportunity to sort out the various forces in Xining and completely turn Xining into an iron bucket.

The biggest problem in integrating Xining City is to keep the Han and Qiang people in the city from making trouble.

The Han people are easy to solve. After all, for them, the Qin-Sui dispute is just a civil war among the Han people. No matter who wins or loses in the end, they just stand on the side of the winner.

The Qiang people are more difficult to deal with.

On the second day after Yang Xingmi withdrew his army, three Qiang patriarchs, representing more than a dozen Qiang families in the city, came to see Meng Tian and asked Daqin 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 being under the rule of the Sui State and being under the rule of the Qin State. They are all ruled by the Han people anyway. Come to the door to fight for your own interests
As long as Meng Tian nodded and agreed, he would get the support of the Qiang people in the whole city, and tens of thousands of Qiang people would fight for the Qin army, and the Qiang people would persuade 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 goal is to directly cut off the passage to Daxing. To achieve this goal, he only needs to occupy three of the counties, so the remaining [-]% are still in the hands of the Sui Kingdom.

The terms offered by the Qiang people were not unreasonable, and they were giving away people and cities. Naturally, Meng Tian wanted to agree, but he couldn't do that, because he couldn't make up his mind about this matter.

Daqin soldiers are not allowed to interfere in politics, and politicians are not allowed to intervene in the army, but the management of alien races has its own rules and regulations

If Meng Tian agreed without consent, it would be an overstep and he would be severely punished, so he declined the representative of the Qiang people who came to see him on the grounds that he was not in charge of this matter.

Although Meng Tian refused, he did not stop talking. On the contrary, he also said that if the Qiang people were willing to help, Daqin would definitely not forget their contribution, and he would personally write to the court to fight for the rights and interests of the Qiang people.

Among the Qiang people, there are few educated people, and most of them are short-sighted, so Meng Tian's words from the heart seem to them to be deceitful.

Meng Tian didn't say anything, didn't even make an oath, didn't have the slightest guarantee, and wanted them to beat them to death for Daqin.

The Qiang people naturally refused to do it, and Meng Tian didn't force it, after all, he has a full army of [-] in his hands, and it doesn't matter whether he has these Qiang people or not.

But when Meng Tian was actively deploying defenses to prepare for the next battle against the Tubo army, he suddenly received news that Yang Guang was carrying out the Qiang decree in Haizhou and offered to help the Qiang forces form an army.

Meng Tian is not a pure warrior, his political attribute has 80 points, so he naturally knows what it means for the Sui Kingdom and the Qiang people to release the Qiang Order, which means that the Sui Kingdom will have a large number of Qiang soldiers in a short period of time .

The Sui Kingdom originally had 17 garrisons in Haizhou, plus the [-] reinforcements from Tubo are coming soon, and the [-] Sui-Tian coalition forces alone have already made Meng Tian feel like a big enemy, but he didn't expect to face it again now. For an unknown number of Qiang troops.

Meng Tian didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly notified Li Jing of Daxing about the situation in Haizhou through Feige.

Li Jing was still curious at first. After he came out from all directions and formed a trapped dragon situation, Sui Guo didn't respond at all. Could it be that Yang Guang directly couldn't solve his trapped dragon situation and was ready to surrender in desperation? ?
Li Jing didn't know what Yang Guang was thinking, even if he knew, he wouldn't care, no matter what move Yang Guang made, he would follow.

During this period of time, Li Jing has been making arrangements outside Daxing City, digging trenches, building earthen cities, and erecting earthen mountains, making it difficult for the Sui army in the city to figure it out, 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 going on.

After capturing Xianmei City, Long Qi personally led an army of [-] to guard Xianmei to stop Gao Huan's [-] Sui army. At the same time, he sent his younger brother Long Yang to lead an army of [-] to attack Wuwei County from the west.

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

Although the ten cities in Wuwei County in the Sui Dynasty were built into a piece of iron by the Sui State relying on the terrain, they were easy to defend and difficult to attack, but they inevitably exposed their flaws in the face of the Qin army's attack from east to west.

At present, more than half of the ten counties in the west of Wuwei in the Sui Dynasty have been attacked by the Qin army, and they will all fall into the hands of the Qin army in a short time.

At that time, Daxing City will completely become an isolated city.

On the other hand, the Qin army was able to liberate [-] troops to support Longqi to the west or Mengtian to the south.

But what Li Jing didn't expect was that Yang Guang didn't move on the surface, but he made a big move secretly, and he launched the release of the Qiang order, which directly lifted all the bans on the Qiang people.

In this regard, even Li Jing had to admit that he was a bit misjudged about Yang Guang.

Li Jing originally thought that Yang Guang was a monarch who was timid and lacking in courage when encountering major events and cherishing his life for small gains.
It's just that what Yang Guang is talking about is the well-being of others. It is indeed too ignorant to use the achievements of the Han people in governing Qiang for a hundred years just to extend the life of the Sui Kingdom for a while.

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

After learning that Yang Guang launched the edict to release Qiang, not only Hua Xiong, Li Jue and other generals from Liangzhou, but also generals from Kanto were all furious. They all roared and begged Li Jing to attack Daxing and capture Yang Guang alive.

Even Li Mu, who has always been known for his calmness, was also full of anger at this time, and he cursed coldly: "Yang Guang, you should die."

Li Mu is not only a native of Liangzhou, but also a personal participant in the battle to exterminate the Qiang people. He is too aware of the price the Han people paid to conquer the Qiang people.

It was bought by countless Liangzhou people with their lives for hundreds of years, but Yang Guang ruined it in one fell swoop after he succeeded, which also made Li Mu unprecedentedly angry.
