Chapter 779 The Great Enemy
When Li Xia was mentioned, Yeluzhu's expression became more serious.

He could feel that Kublai Khan was very concerned about this enemy. After the Li Fen Rebellion was put down, the next target to get rid of was either Brother Ali or Li Xia.

Whether to go north or go west has not yet been decided, so there is today's discussion.

However, looking at the important Mongolian ministers in the hall, they obviously haven't attracted attention.When Tacha'er heard Li Xia's name, he had an obvious contemptuous expression.

Because Li Xia is only 22 years old, and he is still a Song official in name, people always look down on him.

"Li Xia is already stronger than Li Fen."

Yeluzhu had to emphasize something first to show his attitude, and continued: "In recent years, several Han princes have defected to Li Xia, and these princes have married each other, which makes people worry that there will be more and more people. The prince of the world rebelled."

These two sentences are echoing Kublai Khan, saying that the Khan's concerns are justified.

Then he changed the subject and said: "But the key to whether Shihou will be forced to rebel lies in what Da Khan gave them, and what Li Xia gave them."

Yeluzhu clearly realized one point——

Now it seems that Kublai Khan's desire to cut Shihou's power is not good for Shihou, but the Great Mongol Kingdom was too kind to Shihou before.

Even if Kublai Khan uses some means to weaken the power of the Marquis this time, at least the children of the Marquis can retain their military power and positions.Even so, throughout the ages, there is still no dynasty that can treat princes so favorably.

His advice basically satisfies all parties.

The crimes of the older generation of princes contacting Li Fen were not investigated; the younger generation of princes got a chance to make an appearance and could be selected for reuse; while Kublai Khan beat the Han princes and gathered Part of the military power of the Central Plains...

If they can't even bear this level of power reduction, these princes will only be more unacceptable when they come to Li Xia's side.

After Liu Heima surrendered to Li Xia, he completely lost the right to hereditary command of the army, and the Liu family brothers are now no different from ordinary civil servants and generals.

Li Xia is stricter and will not give power to the Marquis...

On the other hand, many nobles were indeed involved in Li Fen's rebellion, and Kublai Khan had been given a reason to move them, and he had to take action, which is called giving both grace and power.

On the contrary, if you blindly back down, it is possible for the nobles to think that Mongolia is easy to be deceived, and they will regenerate their domineering hearts...

After explaining the reason behind this, Yeluzhu finally said, "According to this method, we can already guarantee that the nobles will not switch to Li Xia."

Kublai Khan said: "If these Han princes can analyze calmly, they will naturally understand my tolerance. But Li Xia has just won the battle, so how about using means to force them back?"

"One person can stabilize the situation."

"Shi Tianze?"

"The Great Khan and the Holy Spirit." Yeluzhu replied, "As long as Shi Tianze can be the first to take the lead and take the initiative to write a letter to lift the military power, the princes will not dare to make any changes."

Kublai Khan was still not satisfied.

These were already prepared when he arranged to quell the Li Fen Rebellion.

Now there is an additional variable - Li Xia wiped out [-] Mongolian Red Army Exploring Horses.

This number is not large, but it has shaken the confidence of the Han people in the Central Plains in the Mongolian army.

Maybe Yeluzhu's method can smoothly subdue the Marquis of the Northland, but just in case.In case Li Xia enters Henan, Shanxi, Xiliang, or anywhere else, he will win another battle.

Li Xia can no longer win the battle.

Kublai Khan stared at Guan Long on the map, with killing intent in his eyes.

He has made up his mind whether to go north or go west...

Yeluzhu felt Kublai Khan's dissatisfaction, and thought carefully for a while.

"Great Khan, there is another way... On this matter, the positions of the Han civil officials and the Han princes are different. The Khan can win over the Han civil officials to stabilize the situation."

Kublai Khan raised his hand and stopped Yeluzhu.

He knew that the Han civil officials could indeed stabilize the situation, but he was no longer willing to give them more trust.

"Just follow the strategy you just said to weaken the Han nobles. As for Li Xia, follow my method."

"Did Khan mean?"

Kublai Khan glanced at Yeluzhu, and replied flatly.

"Enemies are made to defeat."

~~
After discussing the matter, Yeluzhu walked out of the Da'an Hall with complicated emotions.

Kublai Khan used his strategy to weaken the power of the Marquis, this is the first; the Great Mongol Kingdom will soon send a large army to recover Sichuan and Shaanxi, this is the second.

More importantly, Yeluzhu and Li Xia actually had a feud.

His eldest daughter was married to Wang Weizheng. After the Wang family was wiped out by Li Xia, he lost news of his daughter.

There are reports that the Wang family members were sent to the Song Dynasty, there are reports that they were killed by Li Xia, and there are reports that they were taken over by Li Xia... Yeluzhu couldn't tell the truth from the fake.

In addition, Yeluzhu has a wife and children who are now separated in the Hexi Corridor.

He had seven wives and more than ten sons, among whom Chiteji gave birth to his fourth son, Yelu Xiliang.

When Mengge died in Diaoyu City, Yelu Zhu and Yelu Xiliang were transporting luggage with Hunduhai on Mount Liupan. When the news came, Yeluzhu persuaded Hunduhai to support Kublai Khan, but Hunduhai refused.

Yeluzhu left his wife and children and went to Kublai Khan alone.

In a rage, Hunduhai sent a hundred cavalry to chase after them, captured Yelu Xiliang's mother and son, and sent them to Harahelin.

Afterwards, Hunduhai was defeated, and Longxi was occupied by Li Xia. Yeluzhu couldn't find any news about his son. He only heard that he was sent to Ganzhou and lost the news.

This time, Kublai Khan planned to conquer Sichuan and Shaanxi, so Yeluzhu wanted to join the army, annihilated Li Xia for revenge, and found his son and daughter.

Thinking of this, he became emotional.When I got home, I immediately wrote a memorial.

He used the Uighur-style Mongolian language, which did not show his talent in poetry and prose.

"I think that the great enemy of Mongolia today is not in the south or north, but in the southwest. Although Brother Ali has the appearance of a falcon, he is less resourceful and assertive. He is defeated and flees far away, which is not a concern; the leader of Zhao and Song Dynasty is weak and mediocre. , dare not advance an inch, and there is no harm in the Central Plains. Only Li Xia stole Guanlong, he can enter the confidantes of Jinyu in the east, and point to the gate of Hehuang in the west, like snoring on the side of a couch, holding a dagger in close proximity...

If you want to destroy Li Xia, you can no longer use a small group of troops to give him the opportunity to defeat each one, and you should use the power of the whole country to decide in one fell swoop.Today, the soldiers of the Seventeenth Marquis are still gathered in Shandong. With the accumulation of Li Fenyi's capital, Hebichi and Shi Tianze can reorganize [-] troops; Ice, two roads go hand in hand..."

~~
The next day, Kublai Khan saw Yeluzhu's memorial.

His eyes were very sharp, revealing a hint of sharpness.

He nodded slightly from time to time, because Yeluzhu's judgment was the same as his, Li Xia must become his great enemy of Kublai Khan.

This was the first time that Kublai Khan faced Li Xia in a real sense.

In the past few years, he has been busy fighting for the position, stabilizing the situation, and suppressing the rebellion, but he has not been able to take care of the young man who is constantly growing up in the southwest.

Now, I have to pull out my hand to pinch the sign of this threat...

~~
Liupan Mountain, Liangdian Gorge.

With a few shouts, the banner in the Summer Palace was cut down.

Li Xia rode his horse up to the high altar, and when he turned his head, he saw that the Mongolian army, who was still resisting, had put on a desperate posture and rushed towards the Song army.

The war has been decided, only these Mongolian soldiers are still unwilling to surrender, and would rather die to protect this...the place where Genghis Khan died.

Their helmets had fallen off, their braids were fluttering in the wind, and their scimitars were raised high, looking a little tragic.

"kill!"

blood spilled down...

Li Xia didn't watch the battle anymore, but looked to the north.

Li Xia did not capture the Liupanshan Palace before.Because it is useless, it will force the Mongolian army to attack him.

But since the Hexi Corridor is to be taken this time, there is no need to avoid it.

In the current situation, Kublai Khan would either hit Brother Ali or Li Xia. Instead of hoping that Kublai Khan would let him go by chance, it would be better to strike first and strangle the Hexi Corridor.

Not long ago, Li Xia had received the news of Li Fen's downfall.

Li Xia didn't have much impression of Li Fen. He only knew that Li Fen was the only one who dared to raise the flag to fight against Mongolia when all the powerful men in the world bowed to Mongolia.

A wrong strategy from the start is doomed to failure.

But before Li Fen failed, he was like a person standing in front of Li Xia, and Kublai Khan must first calm down Li Fen.

Now, Li Xia seemed to feel Kublai Khan's eyes on him.

It was as if a strangled corpse was thrown on the ground, and the child who was walking around with a dagger looked up and saw the vicious big man slowly turning his head.

What should the child do?
I could only grit my teeth and continue to stab with the dagger...
